Ugly was smart enough to know that sex ruins everything. In fact, it was exactly these types of situations that she had tried to avoid. But now that the box was opened, her body was racked with violent emotions. She was charging through the streets with nowhere to go. One minute, she was in the seventh circle of heaven, licking her lips and tasting his mouth. The next, her heart was clenched in guilt in her betrayal of Roan, who, in spite of everything, was her rock, her own personal savior from them lonely, purposeless life she had once led. Other times, she questioned Spot's motives, was he using her to get to Roan? Why would he kiss her? He couldn't possibly be attracted to her. She was a stone cold bitch.

These and other not so comforting thoughts fought for attention in her frail mind. It began to get cold and dark and Ugly wanted to go home. She was halfway to the Lodging House when she realized she could never go home again. She couldn't lie to Roan and if he found out…well, she had a pretty good idea he wouldn't be too happy. Ugly turned around. Then she stopped again. Why should he care who she kisses? For all the rumors that circulated, he seemed to like Spot. And anyway, its not like she just had to come out and tell him. I mean, unless he specifically asked "did you make out with Spot and imagine him placing you in various compromising positions?", she really wasn't exactly lying anyway.

With this reassuring thought glued to her mind, she made her way into the Lodging House and up the stairs to Roan's room. She entered, forgetting to knock in her preoccupation. The room was dark and her eyes slowly adjusted. She heard Roan moving in his bed and watched his form take shape as he sat up in bed, nestled among white sheets. He reached over to the bedside table and lit a cigarette. It glowed in the darkness.

"I was beginning to wonder about you," his voice was dry and raspy.

Ugly cleared her throat. "I got held up," she explained. She felt strange, sort of buzzed. Maybe it was leftovers from Spot. Or maybe kissing Spot had turned her into a nymphomaniac, but something about Roan's naked torso in the dark was pretty fucking sexy. "I got the dues, though," she added.

"Bring them over here," he said, casually blowing smoke into the air. Ugly approached the bed and as she did, a thought flashed through her head. A thought that had never entered her head before. A thought that really, really didn't belong there. It was more of an image really. It happened very quickly. It involved the white sheets and Roan's sweaty torso. The rest wasn't very clear, but it definitely made Ugly's stomach drop to the floor. She gave him the bag of money. He tossed it aside without counting it. "I can't sleep. I don't see the point, really," he moved onto his second cigarette. He struck the match and held it to his face to light the cigarette. The light cast strange shadows and he looked up at Ugly with bright, shiny eyes. "Do you?" he asked. She was confused about what exactly he meant.

She shook her head. "I don't see any point at all," she whispered.

"No, you don't," Roan responded. He took a long drag and thought for a moment. "Baby, I'm gonna tell you something and I want you to listen, okay?" she nodded. Roan took another drag and then said, "this is your life, it's the only thing that's truly yours, so you better fucking love it, okay?" he looked at her. His dark eyes glowing. She was transfixed by him. The incredible Roan. She couldn't explain it, couldn't understand it. But there was something about him that made you want. Something strong and powerful and immovable that made you feel that he could save you. that he could protect you. She wanted that power, she wanted that strength. She wanted to jump on the bed and throw of the sheets and put that power inside her. Good Lord, maybe she was a nympho.

What madness will Ugly's sexual awakening reck?

How will she choose between these two powerful sex gods?

Will there be a final show down?

Will things keep getting crazier?

That last one seems likely. You should probably comment because you will get good karma, and let me know if I have lost it completely or just mostly. Thanks for reading! Luvs ya, moi
