Chapter 6: The Replay
The room was silent. Dark. Julie lay on her side, the quilt a twisted rope around her ankles. Her own fingers, slick and urgent, moved in small, hard circles over her clit, a pathetic echo of the ownership he’d exerted just days before. In her mind, she felt the brutal, claiming thrust all over again, the unforgiving stretch, the way the plug had seated itself deeper with every snap of his hips. Her breath came in short, sharp gasps against the pillow.
A tremble started low in her belly, a promise of release built on shame.
Then the phone screen blazed to life on the nightstand, a harsh slash of blue in the dark. The vibration was a dull buzz against wood. She froze, fingers stilling. It was him. It was always him now. She reached for it, her heart a frantic bird against her ribs.
A single line from Mark: Have you checked it yet?
The orgasm that had been coiling within her evaporated, replaced by a cold, surgical curiosity. The heirloom. The small, unassuming ceramicist’s box. “Open it when you’re alone,” he’d said, his eyes holding none of the softness his smile pretended.
She swung her legs out of bed, the carpet coarse under her bare feet. Padding past her sleeping husband’s, she slipped into the small, utilitarian home office. The desk light flickered on with a click, illuminating a world of family photos, tax returns and invoices. The small box was sitting there, not even hidden.
Inside, USB keys he said. No note.
Her laptop whirred to life. She inserted the first key. The drive icon appeared, labeled only with a number: 1. Her breath hitched. She opened it. A password prompt. Right. He said they ll be encrypted.
JulieMar: Password?
MarkD: Your old Alias.
She typed in her old username from their chat.
Hundreds of text files. Logs. She clicked one at random.
Gaia6833: I wish I could suck you in the train toilet there...
She closed it. She remembered typing that, the thrill and terror of it, in the train to her parent's home. He had saved everything. Every filthy promise, every fantasy given digital flesh.
The second and third keys held audio files. The folder was named ‘Voice clips. Her hand trembored as she navigated to it. Her voice, the sound of her fingers. Begging, calling him. She couldn’t.
The fourth opened more logs. She clicked on April 2011. She was already engaged...
Gaia6833: You are alone?
Thereal: Yes - Remove your string
Gaia6833: ... ok
Thereal: Spread your lips. Your finger in the middle. Touch yourself
Gaia6833: That's what i'm doing
Thereal: Talk to me
Gaia6833: Im sitting in front of my laptop. In my living room. Legs naked. One hand on my cunt. All shaved. All soft. You?
Thereal: Om my bed. Legs appart.
Gaia6833: And your dick?
Thereal : Hard. Straight
Gaia6833: I want you to take me without warm up. From the back. I'm spreading my legs for you.
She closed it. She couldn't believe. She was there years later. She already had lived this. She was already begging him. That made her craving for more.
JulieMar: You had that all the time? You re fucking sick.
MarkD: I told you I saved every scream. Don't pretend you re not soaked now.
She was. She had started touching herself a while ago.
MarkD: Have you watched it yet?
There was a 5th key. A single video. The time stamp was from two days ago.
She double-clicked.
The video player opened, filling the screen. The quality was stark, modern, high-definition. The lighting was dim, the same sickly lamplight from the Airbnb. The angle was from the foot of the bed. And there she was. Not a memory. Not a fantasy from seventeen years past. Julie, two days ago. On her stomach, attached to the bed, a black silicone plug glistening in her ass, a vibrator next to her. Her panties on her ankles. Her face in a pillow. Her shoulders taut, trembling.
Then he walked into frame. Mark. From behind, his back broad, still damp from the shower. She watched his hands. She heard a whimper, her own, tinny through the laptop speakers.
“You’re mine,” his voice growled from the recording, low and absolute.
On screen, his hands gripped her hips, fingers digging into the soft flesh. She saw the moment of alignment, the blunt, ruddy head of his cock pressing against her soaked opening. Then the brutal, single thrust she remembered in her bones. Her body convulsed on the video, a jerk of pure shock and overwhelm. A scream, muffled by the pillow. Her fingers clawed at the sheets.
“Fuck, yes,” the recorded Mark snarled. “Take it. That’s it. Gonna fuck this tight cunt raw.”
She didn't even remembered he entered her cunt that day. She watched, hypnotized, as he established a ruthless, pounding rhythm. Each drive of his hips shoved her whole body forward. Each grunt from his lips was a piston stroke. The camera caught everything: the slap of skin, the sheen of sweat on his back, the way her own body yielded and accepted, how she pushed back against him, meeting his violence with a desperate need of her own.
Then his hand left her hip. It went lower, to where the black plug jutted from her. His thumb pressed against its base.
“Feel that?” he grunted, his thrusts never faltering. “My cock in your cunt, my plug in your ass. You’re full of me.”
On screen, she writhed, a sob breaking from her. “Mark… please…”
“Please what?”
“I… I can’t…”
He pressed the plug deeper, then pulled it partway out. The lewd, glistening stretch was unmistakable. He began fucking her ass with the plug in time with his thrusts, a obscene, double penetration. “You can. You are. Look at you. Look at this perfect ass taking it like a good girl.”
The Julie on the screen dissolved into a writhing, begging creature. “Oh God… I’m gonna… I’m gonna come…”
“Come,” he commanded, his pace becoming frenzied, brutal. “Come on my cock while I own every fucking hole.”
She watched herself shatter. A raw, screaming cry tore from her recorded throat as her body seized, waves of climax wrenching through her. It triggered his own. With a final, deep snarl, he buried himself to the hilt, his body stiffening. The stillness after was almost more intimate than the violence—his weight slumped over her, her spent body trembling beneath his, both of them utterly claimed.
The video ended. The screen went black, reflecting her own face—pale, wide-eyed, mouth slightly open.
The office was silent except for the hum of the laptop fan. Her skin was on fire. Between her legs, a fresh, aching wetness had bloomed, so intense it felt like a wound. Shame was there, hot and acidic in her throat. But it was drowned out by a louder, more visceral truth: a deep, throbbing need.
She minimized the video player. The chat window from 2011 was still open. Her fingers moved over the keyboard, clumsy at first, then with sure, deliberate strokes.
JulieMar: Your turn: 1. A business trip to Paris you don't have. 2. A consulting gig in Montreal I don't have. 3. A weekend in Amsterdam or Brussels. Neutral ground. 4. A missed flight anywhere or a 24-hour layover poorly planned. 5. A sick relative neither of us have. 6. A conference. Any conference. Anywhere. 7. An inheritance from a distant uncle. A lie. 8. A sudden, urgent "family emergency." 9. A pilgrimage. To nowhere. Just to get on a plane because we need space. 10. We ask for a hall pass.
Her fingers hovered over the keyboard, the tenth lie blinking like a cursor in her mind. We ask for a hall pass. The sheer, breathtaking audacity of it suspended her breath. It was the nuclear option. The one truth that would vaporize every other fiction. She leaned back in the chair, the leather creaking.
The hollow ache between her legs was a persistent, wet pulse. The memory of the video, of his hands, was a live wire under her skin. Her eyes slid to her purse hanging on the back of the door. Inside, wrapped in a silk scarf at the very bottom, was the black silicone plug.
She stood. Her movements were deliberate, quiet. She turned the lock on the office door with a soft, definitive click. The sound echoed in the silent house. She retrieved the scarf, unrolling it on the desk blotter. The plug lay there, innocuous and sinister.
Her breath fogged the dark monitor screen. She picked it up. The silicone was cool, still holding the memory of that room. She didn’t need lube; she was already slick, her own arousal a shameful testament. She hitched her nightdress up around her waist.
Bending over the desk, she looked back at herself in the dark screen. One hand parted her. The other guided the blunt tip to her other hole. She pushed. The initial resistance was a fierce, familiar burn. She breathed out, forced her muscles to relax, and pressed harder. Her knuckles whitened on the desk edge.
It yielded. The thickest part stretched her, a searing fullness that made her gasp aloud. She pushed until the flared base settled snug against her. The feeling was immediate: a deep, occupied ache, a vulgar completion. She stayed there for a long moment, panting, feeling the weight of it inside her.
She fumbled for her phone on the desk. Switched it to the front-facing camera. Twisted, angling her body, trying to capture the proof. The image on the screen was stark: the pale curve of her ass, the dark, intrusive silicone protruding obscenely from between. She snapped the picture.
She looked at it. Raw, undeniable. She attached it to a message for Mark. Her thumbs typed the words, her heart hammering against her ribs:
JulieMar: Filling the void.
She sent it. The whoosh of the message leaving was a point of no return.
Then she double clicked on the video. Walked back until she hit the wall. She slid down to the floor, the cool hardwood a shock against her thighs. Her fingers went to her clit, already swollen and throbbing. She didn’t tease. She pressed the heel of her hand hard against herself, fingers working in frantic, rough circles. The plug shifted inside her with the movement, a relentless internal pressure.
She couldn't stop watching her first video. "You’re mine". How is cock was disapearing inside her butthole, of the brutal, claiming rhythm. Her other hand squeezed her own breast through the nightdress, pinching the nipple hard. Pain and pleasure twisted together. Her breaths came in ragged sobs, trapped behind her teeth.
“Fuck,” she whispered into the dark room, a desperate, broken syllable. She was a live exposed nerve. The climax built not as a wave but as a detonation, ripping up from her core, shredding through every civilized layer. Her back arched off the floor.
A raw, guttural scream tore from her throat, unstifled, echoing in the small, locked room. It was a sound of pure animal release, of ownership, of defiance. It shook the windows. It emptied her.
She collapsed into a heap on the floor, trembling, sweating, the plug a stark reminder of her solitude. The phone, face-down on the carpet beside her, lit up with an incoming notification. The screen glowed against the dark wood. She didn’t move to reach for it. Not yet. She just listened to the retreating echo of her own voice in the quiet house, and waited.
