Chapter 9
For Loretta, work became a mixture of pleasure and agony. She was madly in love with Jerry Doan, and she felt he was in love with her, but he was still using her. In a period of three months, he had used her with no less than forty-seven different people, three of them women.
It was in the late fall that he came to her and said, "Just one more time, Loretta-baby, one more time, and I'll have that big promotion. When I do, I'm taking you up with me. No more of this adjustment crap. If we can nail two really big cheats tonight, it'll be all that's needed to boost me to a vice-presidency in the company. You and I will go together."
"What will I do?" she asked sardonically. "Be manager in charge of cocks and cunts?"
"After tonight, only my cock, honey. Just fuck this one more time, and that'll be it with outsiders. After tonight, you'll belong only to me. I'm sorry to have used you, but our entire future was dependent on your cunt."
"I've heard that before," Loretta snapped. "I mean it," he told her. "Just this one more time."
"I thought you said there were two of them."
"Rght, honey. You're gonna handle the both at once."
"That's crazy!" she gasped. "I've never taken on two men at once."
"You can do it, sweetheart. You can do anything. You'll start with the one guy, and then the other guy, who's a bit of a psycho, will break in on you as if you're his wife. Ever since she deserted him, he's been rooking insurance companies right and left, but until now we haven't been able to prove it. This time we'll nail him."
