Joelle stood to follow me. I cautiously looked down the hall before opening her door all the way and heading back towards the front door.
"I need to lock the door behind you," she said as I shoved my hands in my coat pockets and stepped out into the chilly air.
The sun wasn't up, but the clear sky was showing the first hints of light in the east. A few stars were still visible in the west, and I wondered if either of us was capable of appreciating the beauty of the sky that morning. I had known her for less than 12 hours, and the sun had never crossed the sky during that time- it was a connection best left in the dark, I guess.
I turned to say something before walking away, but anything that came to mind seemed either trite or cruel. I simply gave a small wave, then turned and left. The door was closed before I finished turning.

I read about it in the news a few months later. I hadn't even thought about that possibility- it made me glad I no longer looked anything like I had that night. I had just assumed she would drop the issue once she realized she'd been had. But no, she accused the bumbling Professor DeWitt, and the details of her accusation were made public. Exchanging grades for sexual favors was definite headline material, especially when the professor denies it ever happened. Fortunately for him, it didn't devolve into a "he said, she said" scenario, because he was on a red-eye flight, returning from a friend's funeral that night. The real Professor DeWitt arrived at the nearest airport around the same time I was enjoying Joelle's sweet lips on my cock.
The TA administered the exam the next morning, and I can only assume Joelle failed both the exam and her class. She didn't go public with her accusation, though, until she turned up pregnant. Once the professor's alibi was checked and triple checked, the poor girl ended up looking like a foolish slacker who was trying to blackmail her way out of some bad choices. (The mainstream media carefully avoided the word 'slut,' though social media was not so kind.) The media played up her troubled background- foster system, no stable family, probable abuse growing up. You could read the subtext: She's not good enough, she's not smart enough, she's just like the trash who raised her.
I guess that's what bothers me the most- I know she's a sweet girl who's working hard. She got taken advantage of by a half-drunk, bitterly angry guy on a bad day who didn't think through the consequences of his actions (hell, I thought it might be something I'd look back on and laugh). At first I told myself I was in the right place at the right time. Now I understand it was really that Joelle was in the wrong place at the wrong time- she should never have met me.
I know I don't have the balls to make things right, though, so I don't need to hear that from anyone else. I know I'm the bad guy here. Would I do it again? Hell no. But that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it at the time. And it doesn't mean my mind doesn't try to pull up those memories as fuel for some of my fantasies. But in the end, it never works. There's no pleasure in those memories, only guilt. I can only hope Joelle was left with something better.

From the author:
Joelle was left with something better, as referenced at the end of the last chapter of A Strange Arrangement. That's the only connection between this stories and my others, but I had been wanting to tell Joelle's story for a while (and I had gotten a request for a non-con story- this is for you, Angela!). I don't think I have the heart to write about her foster years, but perhaps I'll eventually get around to writing her a happy ending.

Anonymousabout 8 years agoThis was a well written story, but quite difficult and not enjoyable to read. A desperate, beaten down girl who has the gross misfortune to meet a narcissistic, conscienceless (no matter the thin veneer of guilt he claims to feel after the fact) opportunist rapist. It was realistic. She was so obviously unwilling, and only her desperation made her stay compliant. Kudos for not turning this into a 'magic dick' story. You said your narrator was unlikable, well yes, that was an understatement. The guy was lower than pond slime, and I felt a little sick at his actions. The fact that as well as rape he wouldn't use protection, somehow, made it so much worse. Even at the end, his thoughts are still self pityingly about himself. His admission of guilt for basically ruining this girl's life is laughable, and I was left with an intensely strong need to geld the asshole. As I said before, well written, but not enjoyable.
nagerenabout 8 years agoAuthorWhat was missing, perhaps, was the rest of the story. I've often wondered if I should have saved this story for a longer series on Joelle. What adds a little of the "soul" is knowing what becomes of the baby she conceived that night (see the end of my A Strange Arrangement series), but also (in a story I've yet to write) knowing where Joelle's path takes her. How she learns to cope, to forgive, to heal, and to become a healer. But I haven't given you that story here, I've only given you one dark chapter (though it's not nearly as dark as tales from earlier chapters of Joelle's life would be).
Also, if these stories were movies, there would be a scene, perhaps in "Love in the Age of Chemicals" (because of the significant thing Joelle and Miranda have in common) where two characters are dining in a restaurant, and in the background, on a TV screen, we see Darius Allen's mug shot - convicted of raping a student at his next job.
Prolonged_Debut10about 8 years agoI am uncertain if it was the subject matter, or the way it was written, but this story did not flow as well as many of your others. As usual, your prose was perfect, but something was missing; maybe it was 'Soul.' I cannot put my finger on it, but something was missing."
crazycujoover 8 years agoA gem of a story by a gifted writer, but an ending that sucked in my opinion. 1* for that!
Anonymousalmost 9 years agoThis feels so real. Totally in love with your works. Do more non con!!!! (But with happy endings/ leads to romance pretty please) :)
