Book Four: The Ballad of Lily - The Pink Cadillac

The year was 1981. One afternoon in the month of February, in an undisclosed location in the San Fernando Valley, Dakota Fawkes, a gorgeous 29-year-old woman with shoulder-cut coiled hair was lying completely naked on the bed. The bed was lavished with rose petals. Dakota rested her hands on her torso, one leg straight and the other folded at the knee. A black bandage was wrapped across her eyes. Her figure was really alluring. That figure is named as hourglass. It is believed to be a very unique and appealing figure in a woman. Her skin tone was fair, her eyes were brown, and her hair was black. The room was dark, but the bed was illuminated. Her body appeared to be the source of the dim light that extended over the room. Dakota was slowly moving her left hand from her torso to her chest. She eventually straightened her other leg also, and she began to rub her feet together. She continued to squeeze her lower lip in between her teeth.

After some time, a six-foot-tall and muscular man entered the room. He had wavy hair, thin eyes, and a moustache. He was also completely naked. He moved slowly toward Dakota’s head. Then he touched Dakota’s lips with his right hand’s finger. Dakota’s face lit up with a lovely smile as she recognized that touch. She seemed to be waiting for him. He moved his finger from her chin to her neck. As soon as his fingers reached down from her neck to her breasts, Dakota grabbed his hand with both hands. She slowly got up and sat down. The man got down on his knees and kissed Dakota on the lips. Dakota put her right hand behind his head and began sucking on his lips. The man, too, had closed his eyes. Their kiss lasted two to three minutes. He then repositioned Dakota on her back and spread her legs. Between her thighs, there was a clump of dark hair over her vagina. He put his face between her thighs. He started moving his tongue over Dakota’s vagina. Dakota moaned with delight. She began running her fingers through the curly hair of the man. This game lasted nearly five minutes. The man then pulled his head out from between her thighs, grabbed Dakota’s right hand, and lifted her off the bed. She was now sitting on the edge of the bed, with the man standing alongside. Dakota grabbed his penis with her right hand, which was completely stiff. She grasped the penis, drew it toward herself, and then popped it into her mouth. For five minutes, she continued fervently sucking it while occasionally running her tongue around the penis. He kept stroking her hair with his fingertips. That man’s mouth kept erupting in gratifying moans. The penis sighed in relief when Dakota removed it from her mouth. The man slowly removed Dakota’s blindfold by placing both of his hands behind her head.

As soon as their eyes met, Dakota’s eyes lit up with a sly glint, and she yanked his penis back into her mouth. The poor penis’s brain was on the edge of exploding from the overdose of satisfaction from the magnificent blowjob it had just received. Going through the same process again was quite challenging for it. It managed to survive somehow. Dakota had already provided a blowjob, so why did she feel the need to repeat it? She was the only one who could respond to this. We can only speculate that she may have done it to appease her own eyes. Or perhaps she just needed a little more stimulation on her dripping tongue.

After a short while, Dakota removed the penis from her mouth. They both started sucking each other’s lips. The environment in the room had started to get really exciting. Maybe Dakota’s vagina was starting to feel the desire for firm penetration now. While sucking the man’s lips, she pushed him from the right side, causing him to tumble into the bed. Then she spread her legs and sat on his stomach. She then began clawing her chest with her nails. The man grabbed his dick and stroked Dakota’s hips twice. Dakota quickly pressed her knees on the bed and elevated her hips above the man’s abdomen. Then she slid her right hand between her thighs, grasped his penis, and inserted it into her vagina diligently.

Once the entire penis had entered her vagina, she slowly began spinning her hips counterclockwise. The man was grunting in delight. Dakota’s groaning began to reverberate in the space along with his voice. Dakota gradually accelerated the pace. She rotated her hips for a moment and moved up and down the next. Both of them felt the urge to shift positions after a while, but the penis probably didn’t want to come out of her vagina. It sent a signal to its owner. The owner responded to its signal by dropping Dakota to the side and climbing on top of her without pulling it out. Dakota was groaning as the invasion into the vagina persisted. She had both hands on the man’s back at times, and behind his head at others. With each thrust, she also elevated her hips.

After a while, the posture changed again, and they had sex in the doggy style for the next few minutes. The sheet on the bed had multiple wrinkles at this moment. And the rose petals were severely crushed. The man then extracted his penis from Dakota’s vagina, after which Dakota made him lie down on his back and rode him in reverse cowgirl style. She took the penis in her hand once more and inserted it into her vagina. Then she began caressing his balls. She now started to move back and forth. This went on for around two minutes. Then all of a sudden, the man abruptly touched her back with his finger. She immediately detected his signal and yanked the penis out of her vagina and began vigorously shaking it. The man ejaculated immediately after that. Her thick pubic hair was splashed with hot cum. Dakota let go of the penis and ran two of her right-hand fingers through her pubic hair. When those fingers were completely covered in white cum, she brought her hand to her face and protruded her tongue out of her mouth. Instead of licking both fingers, she turned her palm toward the front, made a victory sign, and winked her left eye.

Then someone shouted, “Cut,” and there was a sound of applause. In addition, the room was filled with light. There were five other people present in the room. “Well done, Dakota,” exclaimed a man in a polo cap sitting in the director’s chair. “You’ve brought this scene to life. There is no one else in the entire industry with your level of skill.”

Dakota replied, “Thank you, dear,” and she arose from the man’s abdomen. “My compatibility with Danny is excellent. The public has loved a lot all of the scenes that we have performed together.”

“Yes, you’re absolutely right,” Danny answered as he jumped from the bed. “You can’t feel normal with everyone.”

Dakota picked up a hand towel and rubbed it firmly between her thighs. She then used the same towel to clean her hands. “Now both of you sit in the adjacent room and enjoy coffee while we get this room cleaned,” the director remarked. “I’ll join you in a moment.”

Danny put on his briefs, while Dakota stepped out of the room naked and entered another room. Two coffee mugs sat on the table. She sat in one chair, while Danny sat in the chair opposite from her. They both began sipping coffee.

“Hasn’t it been a really wonderful day? It’s sunny too,” Danny sought to start the conversation.

“Yes. The day is wonderful and very special,” Dakota agreed.

“What makes today so special?” Danny asked.

“I’ve been working in this industry for ten years now. I shot my first scene on this day in 1971,” Dakota replied.

“Wow, that’s great. Congratulations, Dakota.”

“Thank you, Danny.”

Danny placed the coffee mug down on the table. Then he brought his right hand closer to his mouth and made a pose as if he was holding a microphone in his hand. Then he asked, “Will you tell our audience about your experience in this industry?”

Dakota burst out laughing. She eventually regained herself and replied, “I would say it was pretty good. I got everything from the industry. Moreover, the industry introduced me to a lot of wonderful people. I can say with assurance that the quantity of imaginative and creative people I have met in this industry will not be found anywhere else.”

“Tell us about your early days. How did you get into this profession? And who did you film your first scene with?”

“I formerly worked at a gas station. I was 19 years old at the time. Toby Ziehm, a filmmaker, stopped by to fill up his car. He was 45 years old at the time. He introduced himself and told me that he had shot some documentaries as well as some adult films. He said that he found my figure really appealing and that he wanted me to work in his film. I felt bad for what he said. He realized it by the look on my face. Then he said solemnly, ‘Look, if you don’t like what I said, forget it here. However, if you wish to do this, please keep my card and contact me anytime. I firmly believe that you have a talent that will propel you to fame’s pinnacles.’ He hurriedly handed me the card and drove away. Perhaps he assumed I would become enraged.”

Danny continued to listen to her, surprised. He then set the invisible microphone on the table and picked up the coffee mug. He took a sip of coffee and said, “This was a very good start. What happened after that?”

Dakota continued, “My financial situation was not very good. I’ve been here for two years. I worked really hard but did not make much money. I thought for three days before making a decision. I contacted Toby one evening and told him I was ready to work on his film. He was delighted. He gave me his studio address and urged me to visit the next day. I arrived on time. He was thrilled to see me. He revealed that he had been seeking a model for his new film and that his search was now over. He started shooting the next week. He also played the lead role in that film. My first sex scene was with him, and that film was very successful. I became famous overnight.”

“He was an extremely brilliant personality. He is no longer with us, yet he is an inspiration to many young directors,” Danny’s voice reflected his grief.

“Of course,” Dakota replied. “He was aware of his illness but didn’t tell anyone until the very last moment. He was like a father to me. Nobody ever helps their own child as much as he did for me.” Tears welled up in her eyes.

“Miss, I also want to make an open confession here.” Danny raised his right hand and said after feeling her grief.

Dakota gestured with her hand, “What?”

Danny replied, “I was lured to join this industry because of your debut movie. That movie inspired me to choose this profession.”

Dakota inquired, surprised, “Really?”

“Yes, it’s true. I was in high school when I saw that movie of yours,” he said. “I was blown away by your beauty and amazing figure. I made up my mind to work in the industry as well. After finishing high school in two years, I started trying my luck. I was given a chance after three years of hard work. I’ve been in the industry for five years. From the beginning, I was excited to shoot with you. But I didn’t get the opportunity for three years. I had to shoot scenes with a lot of different models. Following that, God answered my prayers, and I was given the opportunity to sign a contract for a film in which you were in the lead role. I was walking on air that day. I was overjoyed. And then the scene featuring both of us became so popular that the filmmakers began to sign both of us together.”

When the conversation started, Danny’s tone was as if he was taking Dakota’s interview. However now he resumed speaking in his natural style. Dakota said, “We’ve shot about 30 scenes together so far. Is that correct, Danny?”

“Dakota, you are absolutely right. Today’s scene was the thirty-first. And I wonder how many other young men would be there dreaming of you and yearning to do scenes with you, and that’s why they would have joined the adult industry?”

“What else can I say, Danny?” Dakota remarked, “I pray to God that all of their wishes get fulfilled soon.”

They both burst out laughing. Danny’s focus then shifted to Dakota’s shoulder. A stink bug was sitting there. These bugs were found in large numbers in this area. He asked Dakota if he might touch her shoulder and then shook the bug away with his hand. The same person who had just fucked this woman in another room felt it was inappropriate to even touch her without her permission as soon as the camera had been taken away.

They chatted in that way for fifteen minutes. Danny inquired, “When is the next shoot?” She explained, “My periods will shortly begin, so no shooting for the next few days. After that, I have to shoot a gangbang scene for Tim’s upcoming movie. That scene is one I’m extremely excited to do. Then I’ll take a two-week vacation in Miami.”

“Where are you going to stay in Miami? I own a house there. Please let me know if you need anything. I’d be glad to help you.”

“I’ll spend much of my time on South Beach. I’ve reserved a nearby hotel.”

Just then, an assistant entered the room carrying Dakota’s dress. Dakota got up from her chair and put on her dress. Before leaving, she bowed down and touched Danny’s cheek with hers, saying goodbye to him. Someone beckoned her from behind as she walked toward her car. When she looked around, she noticed the director approaching her. She stopped. The director approached her and handed her the paycheck. She thanked him, got in her car, and drove away.

Dakota spent the next five days at her residence on Alm Eve Street in Burbank City. She was excused from the shooting since her periods had started. The house was once owned by director Toby Ziehm. And shortly before his death, he transferred it to Dakota’s name. Dakota lived all alone. She had neither a lover nor was she married. Never in her life had she felt a need for a man.

Most of the shooting took place exclusively in the San Fernando Valley those days. She could drive to the shooting location in less than 30 minutes. Her neighbors were quite pleasant and cordial. But no one in the area knew what she did for a living. She would tell everybody who inquired that she worked as a salesgirl. A church was within walking distance from her house. She occasionally attended church on Sundays. She liked hearing Father Davis’s sermon. She had video cassettes of all the movies she had worked in, which she watched in the afternoon and at night. She, like other ladies, did not enjoy watching porn. But she used to watch all of her own movies over and over again and tried to figure out the flaws in her work. Every time, she made an effort to improve her performance. It was difficult to find someone who was more committed to her work than she was. However, she used to avoid watching porn during her period.

She was sitting idle that afternoon when the doorbell rang. When she got up and opened the door, she saw her next-door neighbor Mrs. Molly standing outside. Molly was around ten years older than Dakota. She lived with her husband and 17-year-old son Jacob. Molly was a housewife who spent most of her afternoons alone. Dakota greeted her and escorted her inside. They both sat on the couch in the living room.

“Tell me, dear, what’s going on. I came to meet you when I saw your car parked outside. I haven’t seen you in quite some time. Did you not go to work today?” She continued to speak without pausing.

“No. I don’t feel well. I’m going to spend the next few days at home.”

“Dear, what happened? Should I call the doctor if you want?”

“No, that isn’t necessary. I’m just exhausted from too much work. I’ll be fine after a few days of rest.”

“Certainly, too much work makes you exhausted. I don’t even have a job, but even doing household work exhausts me. Can I give you some advice, if you don’t mind?” Molly asked, her gaze fixed on Dakota’s face.

“Yes please.”

“You’re gorgeous. Your figure is also fantastic. Why don’t you try modelling? There are so many lovely women in commercials. They make a lot of money as well. You will almost certainly get a chance if you try. You won’t have to work as hard as you do today.”

Dakota was getting bored of her. She tried to get rid of her by saying, “You are right. I’ll try.”

“When I was your age, people used to say the same thing to me,” Molly added. “But I didn’t take their advice seriously. And now I’m regretting it. I spend the entire day doing household work. My husband has gone to Utah to visit his sister. He’ll be back in ten days. Until then, I must manage all his work also.”

Dakota remained silent. Molly turned to look around the living room and noticed a 19-inch color TV with a VCR on top. In one corner, there was also an upright vacuum cleaner.

“By the way,” she went on, saying, “if the company is giving such a good salary then there is nothing wrong in this job too.”

“Can I get you something to drink?” Dakota inquired.

“No. I don’t need anything.” She got to her feet. “I should go now. I’ll see you later.”

Dakota sighed with relief.

The next evening, when Dakota came out of the store after buying groceries she noticed Father Davis arriving from the front. Father Davis was in his fifties. He had a very peaceful demeanor and was constantly seen smiling. The face was quite radiant. He was always willing to help others. He earned a lot of respect in this town.

When she said ‘good evening’ to him, the Father’s face cracked a smile. He asked, “I learned that you are not well. How do you feel right now?”

Dakota was surprised by how quickly news circulated in this town. She smiled and said, “Now I feel better than before.”

Father asked, “Do you attend my sermon on Sunday?”

Dakota said, “I don’t visit church every Sunday, but when I am free, I definitely attend.”

“We shouldn’t ever turn away from God,” Father said. “He is the only one who can set us free.”

“Yes, you are absolutely right, Father,” Dakota said goodbye to him and continued on her way.

Dakota had a terrible dream that night. She was strolling naked down a secluded trail in the dark. Nobody could be seen nearby. Only a few trees were visible. On the side of the road, thick grass had also sprouted. She was walking barefoot. The path around her suddenly got covered with Napier grass. She moved a little further and noticed that the ends of the long grass were attached to human penises that were touching her shoulders. She walked forward in an effort to get away from them, but after a while, all of the penises, numbering in the hundreds, became aggressive. They started slamming into her shoulders, thighs, and face. Dakota ran more quickly. A penis then attempted to enter between her legs. She became terrified and ran even faster. She found herself surrounded from all sides by these penises. She covered her vagina with both hands, but as she did, the penis began to strike her hands forcefully. It wanted to enter there at any cost. Dakota got quite upset. A little penis jumped and tried to get inside Dakota’s mouth, but Dakota prevented it. She struggled against them valiantly. During the struggle, her body began to sweat and her breathing grew hard. She then abruptly wakes up. She rose and sat down. It was 2:30 in the morning. She’d had similar dreams two or three times previously, but today’s was particularly terrifying. Her eyes were utterly sleepless, and she spent the rest of the night tossing and turning.

Tim was a veteran filmmaker who never gave the models commands while shooting his scenes. He was always recognized for trying new things. He used to offer his models free hands and ask them to bring the most intensity to the action. Models adored him as well. By nature, he was a philosophical type. He was five years younger than Dakota. The final scene of his film, a poolside gangbang, was scheduled to be filmed today.

The shooting was to be held at a villa. Four muscular men were going to have wild sex with starlet Dakota Fawkes at the open pool. Dakota, like all other directors, was Tim’s favorite model. She used to shoot with great ease and was never irritated. Nobody had ever heard a complaint from her. There was still half an hour till the shooting began, but Dakota’s car arrived ahead of schedule. Tim rushed toward her as soon as she stepped out of the car.

“Hello, Miss Fawkes. You look ravishing today,” Tim said.

Dakota embraced him in her arms. “How are you, Tim? What special are you planning to do today?” She inquired.

“Who am I to do anything, Miss Fawkes?” Tim laughed. “Whatever occurs, occurs on its own. I just don’t place any obstacles in the way.”

“I have never understood why you are so hesitant in taking credit for something?”

Without responding to her question Tim said, “Your screen partners will be arriving soon. By then, you should wait in the makeup room.”

Dakota’s elegant skin didn’t require any makeup. Also as she had to enter the water during the action, therefore no makeup was applied. Only the underarms were shaved and pubic hair was clipped. A quick haircut was also performed. Then she was made to wear red two-piece lingerie. When Dakota came out after a while, she noticed that her co-stars had already arrived.

She came over and shook hands with all of them. She was familiar with three of the men, but it was her first encounter with the fourth. The fourth man was about his age. He had an attractive personality. His physique was well shaped. His face was heart-shaped, with a broader forehead and a V-shaped chin. He also had a scar over his left eye on his forehead.

When it was time to start shooting, the director instructed the cameraman to set up the camera. Dakota went to the toilet room, squatted on the floor and inserted the vaginal contraceptive pill inside her. When she stepped out, the camera was already set. All four males were completely naked and had entered the pool by that time. Dakota started walking slowly toward the pool. The cameraman was following her and taking shots of her rear.

Dakota started to walk along the pool’s edge. All the four men turned to face her.

“Good morning, miss,” one of them said. “Would you like to swim with us?”

“I’m sorry,” Dakota said, “but I do not know how to swim. Do you have anything I can grab so I won’t drown?”

“Yes, we all have something like that,” the other person answered. “We won’t let you drown if you enter the water.”

Dakota took off her halter bra slowly. She then removed her thong and stepped into the water, to set the pool on fire. The four men stood apart from one another. The pool’s water level was up to their shoulders. As soon as Dakota emerged into the pool, she noticed that Tim had installed an underwater camera in the pool. A smile appeared on her face. She was even more amazed at Tim’s creativity. That man left no stone unturned in his pursuit of perfection.

She was shocked when her gaze was drawn to the surface of the water. She noticed cum floating on the surface. She wondered which among the four of them had ejaculated after having one glimpse of her naked body. She had already worked with three models and knew she couldn’t expect anything like this from them. It had to be the fourth person who couldn’t stand her heat. She began to wonder if he would remain just a silent spectator during this entire scene. Dakota felt a twinge of sadness. She had a strong desire to have sex with him from the moment she saw him. His personality has a unique charm. She then tried to concentrate on her task while fortifying his mind and purging it of silly ideas. She slowly approached all of them, pulling one of them closer to her by grabbing his erect penis. As he drew nearer to her, Dakota kissed his lips. The other man rubbed his hand down Dakota’s back and up to her hips and ended up grasping her right bum in his hand. Dakota moved away from the first man, turned her face to the second, and began kissing him. After a little while, she knelt down, plunged her head under water and began sliding her tongue on his balls. Then she took his penis in her hand, put it in her mouth, and sucked it for as long as she could hold her breath.

She then got to her feet and emerged her head from the water. She stepped away from that man and approached the other two, one of whom was a newcomer. She cradled both of their heads to her breasts. They both began sucking her nipples. The third man put his right middle finger into Dakota’s vagina and began fluttering it in and out. Additionally, he began to wiggle his thumb in her pubic hair. Dakota became aroused and began sucking the man’s lips. That man also began to move both of his hands on Dakota’s hips. Then he lifted Dakota up and made her sit on the poolside. He spread her legs apart with both of his hands and began to move his tongue across her vagina. Dakota began moaning with delight. The first man lifted her right foot from the water and began licking her fingers. The second man grabbed the third man’s arm, turned him to the side, and started licking Dakota’s vagina. After that, all of them sat on the poolside, and Dakota entered the water. Then she sucked each of their penises one by one. She found no slackness in the newcomer’s penis. If that cum floating on the surface of the water was actually his, then his masculinity was truly incredible. She was lost in this thought when she noticed the first man extend out his hand to her.

While she held his hand, he pulled Dakota out of the pool. Then he grabbed her up, slung her over his shoulder, and began walking toward the bedroom with her. He was followed by the other three. He carefully lifted Dakota off his shoulders as he reached the bedroom door. The first part of the scene was complete. It was now time for some bedroom sex. Dakota was advised to go to the makeup room once more, which she did. Her body was toweled down, and her hair was dried with a dryer. She began to think that the newcomer had done very little activity in the first scene. There could have been a lot of reasons for this. The first reason could be that he had ejaculated before the action began, which lowered his interest. Aside from that, he was probably a little shy considering it was his first time. Tim, the director, did not provide his models any screenplay. Everything happened according to the models’ wishes. It was quite possible that the first three didn’t give the fourth one much chance. She tried shaking his head to get rid of the thoughts. When it was time for the next shot, she emerged from the makeup room completely naked and made her way toward the bedroom. Her co-stars were all standing naked outside the bedroom door. When Dakota arrived, the first one lifted her up and put her back on his shoulder exactly the same way while carrying her here from the pool. After that, he entered the bedroom. He was followed by the other three. Tim was sitting on a chair on one side while the cameraman sat alongside with his camera ready. The first man flung Dakota’s body on the bed and immediately parted her legs and began licking her vagina.

The other three also climbed to the top of the bed. Two of them approached her head and sat on their knees, while the fourth began stroking her boobs. Dakota noticed that the fourth started doing something on his own for the first time. She took both of the other two’s penises in her hands, raised her head, and began sucking them one by one. The first man moved to the side after licking Dakota’s vagina for a while, and the fourth rapidly positioned his body between Dakota’s legs. Dakota missed the act because her entire attention was focused on the blowjob at the time. The fourth man rubbed his right thumb up and down her vagina before inserting his penis into her. Dakota’s attention was diverted as the penis entered her vagina, and she pulled the penis out of her mouth and glanced in that direction. Then she realized that the man between her legs had been replaced. He felt a little better knowing that this newcomer had also shown some courage. When the two men sitting near Dakota’s head saw the first one was free, one of them moved to the side, and the first one took his spot near Dakota’s head.

Dakota now held the first man’s penis in her hands. She took it into her mouth without even a second’s delay. That newcomer’s body was quite shapely, and his penis was also larger than the other three. For the first five minutes, he moved the penis in and out of the vagina slowly. His movement thereafter gradually increased. Dakota’s body also appeared to start to tingle with energy. She was in an incredible mood. Despite her shaking head, she kept sucking and didn’t pull the first penis out of her mouth. There was a specific cause behind this. She knew from her previous experience that while doing such gangbang scenes when one model stops the action, the others follow him and stop their actions as well and then everyone swaps their positions. Dakota realized that if she removed the first man’s penis from her mouth, the fourth man might take out his penis from her vagina, and all four of them would switch positions. She thought the penis ought not to protrude from her vagina. She had never felt such a wonderful sensation before.

After fucking her for quite a long time in a missionary position, the fourth man lay down on his side and made Dakota sit on him in such a way that his penis did not come out of Dakota’s vagina. Now it was Dakota’s turn to move up and down. She began her contribution to the project with zeal. When the first man brought his penis closer to Dakota’s mouth, she accepted it with an open heart and mouth. The other two stood motionless, waiting to take the place of the fourth. They had no idea, however, that their wait would last forever. The fourth man’s penis was penetrating Dakota’s vagina with gusto, and Dakota’s screams echoed throughout the room. The director had a contented look on his face, as though he was satisfied with this scene entirely.

Dakota had positioned both of her hands on the chest of the fourth man. After some time, she lifted them from there and spread both of her hips with her hands. One of the two males standing motionless noticed this and got an idea. He sat down behind Dakota and attempted to slide his penis into her asshole. He was successful after several attempts. This doubled the impact of the impulses that were developing inside Dakota’s body. She had reached the peak of her ecstasy. Two massive penises were causing mayhem in each of her holes. She took the first man’s penis out of her mouth and began shaking it back and forth while gripping it in both hands at the height of her pleasure. After about a minute, a torrent of white liquid fell over her face. She started shaking the penis more vigorously. The same thing happened twice before the penis finally gave up and bowed in front of her. The man moved a few steps back; the other idle male’s penis entered Dakota’s mouth knowing it would suffer the same fate as his predecessor.

Dakota defused it in around three minutes. Dakota’s face was fully encrusted with cum. The makeup artist did not see the need for a facial on that face, but those two dicks had done that job wonderfully. Now was the time for the third penis, which had been inserted into her asshole, to come out and puke. Its cum spilled on Dakota’s back. However, the penis that was inside her vagina was not growing tired. Just like the other three, his time arrived after five minutes. Instead of pulling his penis out, the fourth threw cum into her vagina. Dakota, too, had experienced orgasm by that time. Her moans had also faded. Dakota leaned forward with her face coated in mingled cum and kissed the lips of the fourth man. In that kiss, there was an unspoken ‘thank you.’

Dakota had noticed that the fourth man wasn’t doing much activity throughout the first part of the scene. Her illusion about him had entirely dissipated by the time the second section of the scene was shot. Apart from himself, he did not give anyone else a chance to fuck her pussy.

Dakota rose from the bed and stood up, but her head was spinning. Then darkness enveloped her eyes, and she collapsed. The director’s voice reached her ears just before she fell—“Cut”.

Dakota regained consciousness after around thirty minutes. She was lying on the same bed. Although she had nothing on, her naked body was covered with a sheet. Her face and the rest of her body were cleansed of the cum. Tim sat close to her head and rested his right hand on Dakota’s forehead. When he saw Dakota regaining consciousness, he exhaled a sigh of relief and inquired, “How are you feeling now?”

Dakota uttered a ‘hmmm’ sound and gazed around the room while lying down. Her three co-stars were standing in a corner. However, the person her eyes were searching for was not present. “What happened to me?” Her mouth made a shaky sound.

Tim stated, “You became dizzy and fell unconscious.”

At that very moment, the cameraman brought a glass of water in the tray. Tim supported Dakota’s back and made her sit. Dakota took the glass of water and drank it. Then she hung her legs down from the bed and asked the cameraman, “Please bring me my clothes.”

“Dakota, I think you should rest a little longer,” Tim remarked.

Dakota replied, “No, Tim. There is no need. I’m feeling better now.”

She rose from the bed. The cameraman brought her dress. She dressed up and asked, “Tim, who was that newcomer?”

Tim said, “I’m not familiar with him either. I contacted ‘All Men Agency’ and requested them to send a model. He left without telling anyone after the shooting was over. He didn’t even collect his paycheck. I’m going to call the agency right now and enquire about it.” Tim headed toward the phone in the corner of the room after saying this.

Dakota looked at the other three models and asked, “Don’t any of you know anything about him?”

“Not at all, ma’am. We have no information about him. I tried to do an introduction, but he didn’t tell us anything about himself,” one remarked. “Then you emerged from the makeup room, and we started talking to you.”

Tim placed the receiver to his ear after dialing the agency’s number. “Hello, I’m Tim,” he said as soon as the voice on the other side emerged. “The model you provided for my shooting has already left without collecting his pay check. I don’t even know what his name is. If you provide me his name, I’ll send the pay check to your agency.”

After hearing what was said on the other end, the receiver slipped from his hands. His hands began to tremble, and his entire body became saturated with sweat. Tim wiped the sweat from his brow and tried to appear normal.

“What’s the matter, Tim?” He heard Dakota’s voice. “What did the agency people tell about him?”

“Nothing. The receptionist told me that he was a new model and even though she didn’t know his name, they’ll shortly give me the specifics.”

“All right, Tim. As soon as you know about it, please let me know. I must now leave,” Dakota said as she fetched the car keys from the table.

“Are you in the condition to drive, Dakota?” Tim asked anxiously.

“Don’t worry about me. I can drive, Tim,” Dakota replied.

“I was just suggesting that you should take a rest for some more time. You can leave after noon. All of us are staying here for some more time.”

“Tim, it’s not possible. The day after tomorrow, I had to leave for Miami. And a lot of packing has to be done today. Please let me go.”

She then reached over to the same table, picked up the paycheck that was issued in her name, and said to Tim, “Thank you for this.” She then walked out, sat in her car, and headed back toward Burbank.

On the way, the newcomer’s face kept flashing across her mind. She also recalled Danny’s words. “How many other men would be there who would be dreaming of you and would be desperate to do scenes with you and that is why they would have joined the adult industry.”

Dakota was certain that the newcomer had joined the industry solely because of her. The way he had fucked her, it was apparent that the urge to get Dakota had been present in him for a quite long time. She smiled mischievously and mumbled on her lips, “One day I’ll find you, mystery man.”

* * *

Dakota was in Miami for the last five days. She had a great time during these days. She also did not leave any stone unturned when it came to shopping. She discovered that Miami was significantly more expensive than her hometown. She noticed people having fun and being carefree. She was strolling along the sandy shore on South Beach that evening. The waves would come in and strike her feet, getting them wet. While playing, some tiny children were making a lot of noise.

She realized that someone had called her name in the midst of the din. She turned around and noticed a tiny man in a cap staring at her. He waved his hand and said, “Hello, Miss Fawkes!” Dakota approached him. He was smiling. Dakota found her face familiar, but even after racking her brains, she couldn’t recall where she had met him before. Her confused expression let the man, who was around 45 believe that she had failed to recognize him.

“Hello, Miss Fawkes,” he said. “Keong here. Keong Woo. Most likely, you didn’t recognize me.”

Dakota said. “I’m really sorry. I’m trying to recall.”

“I was Sir Toby Ziehm’s assistant when he cast you in his film.”

As soon as he revealed his identity, Dakota recognized him right away. He was a Korean man. He was the director Toby’s assistant at that time. He was ten years younger than him. Toby Ziehm was the one who taught him how to direct movies. But he eventually left him.

Dakota said,” I apologize for not recognizing you at first glimpse.”

He smiled and said, “However, I recognized you. You look just like you did ten years ago.”

Dakota smiled. Then she asked Woo, “Are you here for work or on vacation?”

“Here, I’m shooting a reality show for television. Have you come here to shoot some content?”

“No. No. I am on vacation.”

“Oh, okay. Is there anyone else with you here?”

“No, I’ve come by myself.”

She started walking, and Woo joined her. Then he added, “I’ve got a lot to learn from Toby Sir. I wouldn’t be who I am today without him.”

Dakota smiled. She thought in her mind that whatever she was today was also due to Toby Sir. Then she turned her face toward Woo and asked, “Then why did you leave him?”

“Look, Miss Fawkes, I learned a lot from him. I learned a lot of new things while filming his documentaries. But later his focus shifted to pornographic productions. I assumed that after making a few adult films, he would return to his original work, but that never happened.”

“I’m not sure why he suddenly became so interested in porn. As much as I know him, I can’t claim he changed his line of work to make more money. He already had a lot of money. I assisted him for a short period in the beginning. I used to direct sequences when he was performing himself. I was seated in the director’s chair when your first scene with him was shot.”

Dakota giggled and said, “I remember it vividly.”

“However, I envisioned my future in documentaries or television series and never in the adult industry. I wanted to create stuff that, if someone copied it in the future, viewers would instantly notice. That is why I had to leave him. I knew he was upset when I left, but I had my own reason.”

“On the other hand, it’s me, who sees no future outside the adult industry.”

“Your situation is distinct. Anyone who has watched your movies can affirm that you were created exclusively for porn. For the past decade, you have been the face of the adult industry. You are an inspiration to others.”

Dakota’s lips curled into a smile. She was reminded of what Danny had said.

They had walked a long distance. Dakota said, “I believe we should now return.”

Woo said, “If you don’t mind, you can join me for dinner tonight.” Dakota accepted his proposal.

Woo invited Dakota to dinner at El Exquisito, which was close to his hotel. Dakota boarded a taxi and arrived around 9:30 p.m. Woo was waiting for her. They ordered dinner and began conversing. Dakota inquired about his family, and he revealed that his wife was a fashion designer, and he had a 15-year-old daughter. He now resided in New York with his family. However, he frequently had to travel to different locations for shooting. Dakota then told him that she was still single and intended to stay that way.

Dinner was served after a while. They maintained their casual discussion. Dakota then told Woo, “You had mentioned earlier in the evening that you don’t know how Toby Sir became so interested in making porn that he ditched his original profession. Let me elaborate. He used to share with me everything that was in his mind.”

Woo stared at him, shocked, and said, “Tell me, please. I really need to know.”

“He used to claim that the only thing that is completely honest today is porn. It is even more sincere than religion. He also used to warn that in the kind of circumstances he sees approaching in the near future, the human race will find it difficult to keep its sanity. People’s proclivity for drugs will increase much more at that time. What we are creating today will aid in the mental wellness of people. Even if society does not embrace us now, we will be remembered as heroes in the future.”

Her words struck a chord in Woo. “I have also spent a lot of time with Toby Sir,” he added. “But he never revealed that to me. How much truth do you find in his words? I didn’t interact with him after I left because I thought his new work was not eternal. In the coming years, none of this will be created anymore.”

“Why did you think that it is not eternal?”

“How many times can you replace the sets and models to present the same thing to the audience? And eventually, the audience will grow tired of seeing the same thing over and over. Then why would anyone want to create all of this if there will be no response from the audience?”

“But why are you forgetting that there will be a new audience in every era? They will watch porn created in their times. Those individuals will not consider performers from the past who would have grown old or dead by that time. Those people will like their contemporary models, and this will go on forever.”

Woo was at a loss for words. Dakota went on to ask, “According to you, what will be the age of the porn industry?”

“This, too, will be over by the end of the century, in my opinion. Yes, new experiments in this industry will be required to keep it alive.”

“And what type of new experiments are they going to do? After all, sex is sex.”

“Only the filmmakers of that time will be able to tell about this.” Woo was quiet for a few moments. “Look, according to me, all the experiments have already been done,” he added. “More and more films have been produced in recent years. Some films are even discussed on mainstream television shows. This is known as the ‘golden age’ of the adult industry. People who grew up in this period and have seen contemporary porn movies will never like porn from another era. Even 50 years from now, they will watch video cassettes from the same era.”

“You are right, Woo. But that time hasn’t come yet, so why worry about it now?” Dakota said. “Tell me how are things doing in Miami?

“Excellent, Miss Fawkes, this is an incredible place. The people here are also wonderful. Living here is a joy in itself. But I have to return in a few days. I’m thinking about migrating here with my family. However, all of my and my wife’s jobs are in New York. I can only consider shifting to this place after the retirement.”

Dakota smiled. Dinner was over. After saying Woo goodbye, Dakota stepped out of the restaurant and hailed a taxi to her hotel.

That night, Dakota had a similar nightmare she had a few days before. She was running naked down the same desolate trail when she was attacked by erect penises nearby. They attempted to get in through her thighs. Her hands were not free to defend herself this time, since she was holding something wrapped in a cloth in her hands. She was cautiously carrying that thing when she gets attacked by those bastard penises. She couldn’t decide whether to protect herself or that precious thing. She ran around in great confusion and finally woke up. She sat up and wondered why she kept experiencing this dream over and over. And what did she have this time that was more valuable to her than herself? She continued to think about all of this while lying in bed, and after a few moments, she fell asleep again. She was surprised when she awoke in the morning. She had never been able to sleep again after going through a nightmare before. She suspected that this occurred because she was in another city. But she didn’t realize the significance of all that happened in her dream.

Dakota went shopping the next day in the afternoon at a branded garment store. A 20–22-year-old couple was also in the store. As soon as the boy’s gaze rested on Dakota’s face, his eyes widened in surprise. He hurriedly murmured something in the ear of his girlfriend. When the girl saw Dakota, she yelled with delight. She dashed over to Dakota and exclaimed, “Hello, ma’am, are you Dakota Fawkes, the famous adult star?” Dakota was hesitant since she didn’t want anyone to know anything about her. He looked around the store. Despite the fact that there were few people in the shop, she became worried. The girl did not wait for an answer to her query. Perhaps she was confirmed.

She took both of her hands in hers and said, “You have no idea how much I admire you. I aspire to be like you. My boyfriend and I both enjoy your movies.”

Dakota made no attempt to free her hands. The girl said in one breath, “You are as beautiful in real life as you appear on the screen. Your body shape is incredible. All the scenes between you and Danny Sir are my favorite. Will you please give me your autograph?”

The girl took out a little diary and pen from her handbag and handed it over to Dakota. Dakota signed her autograph without even a second’s hesitation. The boy then asked, “Would you like to join us for coffee?”

Dakota claimed she was about to leave, and she was already running behind schedule. When the girl persisted, Dakota thought that it would be safe to depart because her true identity might be revealed here just because of these two. Therefore she accepted their offer.

They both were quite delighted and walked to a nearby coffee shop with her. Dakota’s mood had been much brightened by the hospitality she had received from strangers in an unknown city. She stayed awake till late at night thinking about that incident. At the same time, it occurred to her that if people in her hometown discovered her profession, would she receive a similar adoration? She was unaware when she fell asleep while contemplating.

* * *

Dakota returned to Burbank after a two-week vacation on Saturday night. Her flight landed at 8:00 p.m., and she arrived at her house around 9:30 p.m. She got out of the taxi, unlocked the main door, and went straight to the living room, where she sat on the couch. After some time, she had a craving for coffee. She got up and walked to the kitchen, opened the packet of cappuccino, and then realized there was no milk in the house. At that time, the market was also closed. She stood there contemplating for two minutes and then decided to pay a visit to the neighborhood and ask Mrs. Molly for some milk. She picked up a cup and walked out of the house. Then she rang Molly’s doorbell, and her husband Henry opened the door. Dakota wished good evening to him and he also smiled and said good evening back. Then he stepped aside and Dakota entered the house.

Molly’s entire family was having dinner. She, her husband, and her son were seated at the dining table. A 14–15-year-old youngster was also sitting with Molly’s family whom Dakota had never seen before. Molly felt glad to see her and inquired, “Dakota, how was your trip?”

Dakota replied, “That was fantastic, Mrs. Molly, Actually I needed some milk.”

Molly stood up and handed Dakota some milk from the refrigerator. Then she pointed to the youngster and said, “This is Charlie. He is Henry’s sister’s son. Henry has recently returned from Layton. Charlie accompanied him.”

Dakota smiled and cast a glance toward Charlie. She noticed Charlie giving her face a very close look. She ignored it and said to Molly, “Thank you for the milk. The market is now closed and I have recently returned back from Miami. That is why I need to come to your house at this time.”

“Consider it your own home, Dakota,” said Molly. “You are free to request whatever you wish.”

Dakota said, “Thank you very much, Mrs. Molly.”

When she turned to go back, she noticed Charlie was still staring at her. She rushed out of their house.

Molly’s family finished the dinner at ten o’clock. Her husband retired to the bedroom and got busy reading a book, while Molly started cleaning dishes in the kitchen. Jacob, her son, sat in the living room with his cousin Charlie and turned on the television. Then he connected his ‘Atari 7800’ gaming console to the television and both kids sat on the ground next to it. Jacob launched the ‘Street Racer’ game and both of them got busy playing it. Jacob had kept the TV’s volume quite low. After 20 minutes, Molly emerged from the kitchen and said, “Jacob, Charlie, son, don’t stay up too late,” staring at both of them. “Get to bed on time. Even if it’s Sunday tomorrow, that doesn’t mean you should stay up all night playing video games. Okay?”

Jacob said, “Okay, Mom. We won’t play for long.”

Molly walked into the bedroom and locked the door from inside.

Charlie continued to peer at the space between Molly’s bedroom door and the ground from the corner of his eye. After a while when the light in their bedroom turned off, he stood up and increased the volume of the TV.

“What are you doing, Charlie?” Jacob asked nervously. “Their sleep will be disturbed by loud noises.”

Charlie said, “Brother, I turned up the volume so that neither of our voices could be heard by them. I’m going to share some crucial information with you.”

Jacob asked, “What are you going to say, Charlie?”

“Bro, have you ever watched an adult movie?” Charlie asked.

“What are you talking about, Charlie?” Jacob said, surprised. “Children should not view adult films. I have one more month till I turn 18. Charlie, you’re even three years younger than me. You should not even talk about it.”

“And what if I tell you that I have seen many?” Charlie boasted.

“Have you gone insane, Charlie?” Jacob asks, shocked. “Who will provide you with the video cassette of an adult movie?”

“There is a video parlor close to our house in Layton,” Charlie replied quietly. “One of my classmates is the owner’s son. He secretly retrieves video tapes from his father’s store and brings them to me when my parents have gone out and I am alone at home. Then both of us watch it on our VCR.”

“Charlie, you are such a devil,” remarked Jacob. “Have you ever considered the consequences of being caught?”

“Leave it, Jacob. When we get caught, we’ll think about it. Listen carefully to what I have to say next.”

“Tell me, Charlie,” Jacob murmured softly as he drew nearer to him. “What do you have to say?”

Charlie asked, “Who was the woman who came over to ask for milk while we were having dinner a while back?”

“She is Ms. Dakota. She resides in our neighborhood.” Jacob told him.

“What type of job does she do, Jacob?”

Jacob thought for a while and then replied,“ Probably a salesgirl in some company.”

“My dear, Jacob,” Charlie said, “she works in adult movies.”

Jacob endured a terrible shock. “Oh my God, Charlie, are you telling the truth? You’re sure there’s no misunderstanding?”

Charlie said, “I’m certain, bro. I’ve watched a lot of her movies. You’ll be astounded when you see her naked body. She performs her role so well that the TV screen catches fire. I had an intense urge to meet her. I had never imagined she would appear in front of me like this. I had an erection when I unexpectedly saw her today. One by one, all her scenes began to appear before my eyes.”

Suddenly the bedroom door opened, and Molly stormed out yelling furiously. She shouted, “Why is the TV volume so loud? You are neither sleeping nor letting us sleep. Stop doing everything right now and go to your bedroom. There should be no more sounds. You got it?”

Jacob quickly turned off the TV and rushed to his room. Charlie tagged along with him. They both lay down after turning off the lights. Both of their eyes showed no signs of sleep.

Charlie requested, “Jacob, could you please introduce me to her?”

“Mom has already introduced you to her,” said Jacob. “Did you want her autograph now?”

Charlie said, “She believes no one here is aware of her secret. We can ask for any favor in exchange for keeping her secret confidential.”

Jacob said, “You’re going to get me killed along with you.”

Charlie requested, “Just take me to her house once. I’ll speak with her myself. You simply sit still.”

Jacob said, “All right. Let’s see if tomorrow provides an opportunity.”

* * *

Dakota awoke at about 1:00 p.m. on Sunday. She was exhausted from the flight and didn’t have any job to do during the day, so she didn’t think it was necessary to get up early. She was going to attend a party in Calabasas hosted by a prominent production company that evening. Many well-known industry figures were expected to attend the party. She used to avoid parties, but at Danny’s prodding over the phone late yesterday night, she agreed. He got out of bed and made butter toast and coffee for breakfast. Around 2:00 pm, she finished her breakfast and stepped into the shower. After her shower, she wrapped a towel around herself and stepped out of the washroom. Her doorbell rang at that very moment.

As she peeked out the window, she noticed two neighborhood boys standing outside. She experienced an odd sensation because no one had ever come from that house before except Molly. She had no idea why the boys felt the need to visit her house. She smiled as she opened the door and saw both of them. As soon as her eyes met Charlie’s, a shiver ran through Dakota’s body. There was a devilish glow on his face. “Miss, can we come in for two minutes?” Jacob asked. When Dakota stepped away from the door, they both came inside and sat on the couch. Dakota retreated to her bedroom, leaving both of them sitting there. She quickly threw away her towel and slipped into a gown. Then she came out and sat with them on the couch.

“What happened, Jacob?” Dakota asked as she took a seat.

“Ma’am, Charlie would like to speak to you for a moment,” Jacob’s throat felt dry, and he had trouble getting any words out.

Dakota shifted her gaze to Charlie. Charlie’s eyes glowed with lust.

“Tell me, Charlie, what do you want to talk about?” She asked.

Charlie began speaking without hesitation, “Ma’am, I know everything about you. I am aware of the kind of work you do. I have watched your movies. You have lied about yourself and hidden the truth from the people here.”

Dakota’s throat dried and she remained mute, staring at that kid’s face. She now realized why he had been staring at her last night.

Charlie went on, “I need a favor from you. If you do not comply, I will tell everyone about what you do.”

Dakota became enraged, “Who will you tell?”

Charlie said, “I’ll tell everyone.”

Dakota asked, “And why should I fear you? Am I a criminal?”

Jacob started feeling uneasy seeing Dakota so angry. When he stood up, Charlie forced him to sit back while grabbing his hand.

Charlie said, “I don’t want any big favor from you. All you have to do is give me and my brother a blowjob.”

Dakota’s rage had reached a boiling point. She jumped to her feet and yelled at them, “Get out of my house in a minute or I’ll call the cops right now!”

Jacob rose to his feet swiftly, while Charlie remained seated. “Think about it, ma’am,” he said. “Otherwise, you’ll subsequently have a lot to regret.”

Dakota overlooked his words and dashed for the telephone set on the far side of the living room. Meanwhile, Charlie stood up and he and Jacob hurried out of her house fast.

This incident occurred around 2:30 p.m. But Dakota’s mind remained in turmoil until 6:00 p.m. Even after all this time, she was unable to overcome the shock that two next-door kids had inflicted on her. She lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling. She hadn’t eaten lunch and had forgotten she had to go to an evening party. Danny phoned at 6:15 p.m. He inquired if she was ready for the party. Then she remembered that she had an invitation this evening. She once again claimed that she was not in a good mood and that she did not want to attend the party. But Danny insisted that she must go. According to him, going to the party will do wonders for the mood. Danny’s words appealed to her. Maybe while attending the party, she might start feeling better. She unwillingly rose, removed her gown, opened the wardrobe, and began selecting a dress. She was completely ready within 20 minutes. She locked the house around 7:00 p.m., placed the keys in her purse, and drove away. She didn’t notice Mrs. Molly standing at her front door, staring at her.

The party was hosted at a ranch near Calabasas by the renowned production house ‘Boseman Brothers.’ Nobody asked them why they were throwing the party, and they also didn’t tell anyone. Almost all of the prominent figures of the adult industry were present there. The moment Dakota arrived, cameramen rushed toward her, flashlights flaring. Many of her photographs were captured in a matter of seconds. Other guests at the party were ecstatic to have their photos taken with her. She was the focus of attention at the event. This gave her a great deal of relief.

Her mood had improved significantly as a result of the respect she was receiving there. She began to believe that she had made the right decision by arriving here. She took a glass of wine and began to walk away. She noticed Danny seated a little distance away. Alongside him sat a black porn star. He also turned away from her when he saw Dakota and moved in her direction. Dakota hugged Danny and then they sat in a less busy corner, away from the crowd. There was a tiny bit of darkness there, and the music was also muffled. Danny realized Dakota needed to talk to him about something important. After so many years of acquaintance, she had started trusting Danny a lot. She explained everything to Danny that happened that afternoon slowly and hesitantly. Danny was shocked to hear it as well.

He continued, saying, “Dakota, You should have met his parents at that very moment and told them about his conduct.”

“He’s not from around here. He has arrived at his uncle’s place. And how can I complain to his family about him? I, too, have been deceiving them.”

“You’ve always done the right thing. We can’t tell people about our work openly. What difference does it make whether they find out sooner or later? They will, at best, refrain from speaking to you.”

“Maybe you are right, Danny. I’m curious where he got the nerve to blackmail someone.”

“They are kids, Dakota. At this age, mistakes are common. Who knows, he could have fallen in love with you. Perhaps he is immersed in your thoughts all day and night,” Danny remarked mockingly.

“If that was the case, Danny, he would not have asked me to do all that with his cousin. Danny, you had a desire for me as well. You worked to get me, didn’t you? But how wicked it is to push someone into agreeing to your point of view.”

Danny didn’t say anything. Perhaps the things Dakota said were true.

She further said, “I feel that porn is the cause of developing such negative thoughts in young people of this age group. I started to feel somewhat guilty.”

“If porn is the cause of all this, then those who allow them to watch porn are to blame. What we create is intended for an adult audience, not children. Don’t hold it against yourself. Forget about what happened. I am confident he will never appear in front of you again.”

“But Danny, what will I do if they come again at night?”

“Dakota, do one thing. Please stay at my house tonight. I’ll drop you off at home tomorrow morning.”

Dakota agreed with him.

* * *

On Monday, Danny dropped Dakota off at her house around 10:00 a.m. Dakota had calmed down somewhat by this moment. She had to go to a studio in the afternoon for an interview for a monthly video magazine. The following day, Tuesday, a lesbian movie was being shot. She had the rest of the week off. She left the house an hour before the shooting in the afternoon, and as soon as she began to sit in the car, she spotted Molly. She was standing at the front door of her house. When Dakota waved at her, she overlooked her and entered the house after turning her face away. It made Dakota feel really odd. She then reasoned that Molly might not have noticed her. On the way, she kept wondering about what would happen if the kids told Molly the truth about her. Her mind, however, was denying this. If they disclose the truth about her, their secret of watching porn may also be revealed.

She arrived at the studio entangled in these thoughts. Her interview got started. She couldn’t deliver a proper interview because of her nervousness. Everyone who was around noticed this. As she was about to leave, the producer assured her not to worry. He said that this interview wouldn’t be made public until it had been properly edited. She returned back to her house.

She had to leave early the next morning. The shooting location was around 80 miles away. She arrived at the set at 10:00 a.m. Because the shooting was going to last the whole day, the producer had arranged for lunch on the set. There were three more models in addition to her at the shooting location. The shoot proceeded smoothly. She arrived home at dusk and went to bed early because she was exhausted.

On Wednesday evening, when Dakota left the house for a walk, Molly was arriving from the front. As Dakota wished her ‘good evening,’ she turned her face to the other side. Dakota was likewise in the mood to clarify things today. For two to three days, she suspected that Molly was ignoring her even after seeing her. She felt a little suspicious that perhaps those kids had revealed her true identity to Molly. However, that was not going to make any difference to Dakota.

As soon as Molly passed by, Dakota grabbed her hand and asked, “Mrs. Molly, why are you treating me like a stranger?”

Molly jerked her hand away and murmured, “You are like a stranger to us. You’ve been residing in our neighborhood for such a long time, and we, being such naive people, have no idea what kind of work you do?”

“What’s wrong with my work?” Dakota inquired, knowing that Molly was already aware of her profession. Perhaps she wished to hear it directly from her.

“Now don’t be so innocent.” Molly teased her, saying. “If selling your body for money is not evil then is it virtuous?”

Dakota’s suspicions had been confirmed. She reverted to her genuine self and asked, “Are you considering me a prostitute?”

“You’re even worse than that. I’ve often wondered what the secret to your affluent lifestyle is. Now I understand you gained all of this by selling your body.”

Dakota was surprised. Is this the same woman who previously suggested that she should pursue modelling? She controlled herself and said in a quiet voice, “Look, Molly, I am a performer and nothing more. We are extremely professional individuals who never cross any boundaries while working.”

“You can make any excuse but I will say that people like you are a danger to society,” Molly’s voice was rife with venom.

“What danger do people like me pose to your society? And what do people like us do that people in your society do not?”

“We live in a respectable society. There is no place in it for a lady like you.”

Dakota mocked, “Are you talking about the same respectable society from which your kids hail? Do you know what demand did those two make to me?”

“Don’t get the facts mixed up, Dakota. People like you are to blame for the decline of today’s children.”

“However, we never create anything for children. Whatever we create is intended strictly for adults only. If your children manage to watch porn, then it is an example of bad parenting. Molly, it’s not our fault at all.”

“Make whatever excuses you want, but you must accept that there is no forgiveness for your sins. You will perish in hell.” Molly glanced at him with scorn and spat on the road. Then she quickly turned and continued on her way. Dakota remained motionless. She was astounded by how much people despised her profession.

Due to the positive response her movies had received from the people, until now she believed that society liked her profession highly. But that was just her delusion.

The ten days that followed were the most restless of her life. Everyone in the town began to stare at her uncomfortably. Women began to look at her with hatred, while most men began to stare at her with eyes full of lust. She was aware that her profession was now known to everyone in the town. She already knew that any news spread like wildfire in this area. All of this occurred because of Charlie, who was unconcerned about his own secret being disclosed. However, no one considered how inappropriate it was for a child to see an adult movie. Many porn stars were open about their work. They openly told people about their profession. Even the families of many openly supported them. But she had kept her identity a secret from the public. She was surprised how in a matter of days, her status in the eyes of others had changed. Now it appeared as though she was a sex object rather than a living individual. Whether she walked into the laundry shop or the grocery store, she began to feel as though every person she encountered was eyeing her body and waiting to fuck her. It didn’t take long for her to realize that the tall Napier grass she had seen many times in the bizarre dream that had terrified her for so long was the people of this town.

During those ten days, she participated in shooting three times. One scene was shot with Danny and the other two were with other male models. She continued thinking of the same mysterious man every time she had sex. Perhaps the sex she had with him was incredible. She had never experienced such contentment while having sex with anyone before. Due to the changed attitude of the people of the town toward her and being extremely busy with the shootings, she did not even realize that she had missed her periods.

On Sunday morning, she had nausea. She also felt a metallic taste in her mouth. She got out of bed and went to take a bath. After breakfast, she had a hankering to visit the church. She arrived on time and sat on the last bench on the left side. Two women were already sitting on that bench. When they saw Dakota, they both got up and moved a bit further to sit on another bench. Another woman noticed her and exited the chapel. Dakota wasn’t surprised. She kept a sweet smile on her face. People reacted as if she had a contagious disease. There was much whispering about her in the church hall, but she was unaffected. She sat quietly as she awaited Father Davis.

After a few moments, Father Davis arrived. He was dressed in a black cassock. He was holding a Bible. He reached behind the pulpit and placed the Bible there slowly. He then turned to face the corridor. He noticed Dakota sitting in the rear seat. Father Davis looked at her with a strange expression on his face. Maybe he didn’t think it was suitable for her to come there. He was the same person who occasionally encouraged her to attend church.

He remained silent for a while before beginning his sermon. He started by thanking everyone who attended for coming and offering their time to God. Then he mentioned that during Jesus’ final days, today, 29 March, 33 AD, was also a Sunday. He then shed some light on the happenings of the day.

Jesus triumphantly entered the city of Jerusalem and mounted humbly on a donkey in keeping with prophetic messianic prediction. He later predicted his impending death and taught at the Temple.

The following day, Jesus cursed a fig tree, symbolizing spiritually barren Israel, and cleansed the Jerusalem Temple, possibly for the second time, in a prophetic fashion. He thus acted as the one who was going to restore proper worship as the replacement and fulfilment of the Temple.

People were transfixed as they listened to the sermon. The Father then began explaining about Jesus’ teachings. He explained, “Money is the root of all evil. Blinded by greed, many have strayed from the path of faith, walking a road toward damnation. A person’s necessities are obvious, but if he is possessed by greed, no amount of money he receives appears to be sufficient. Such people can be found all around us who succumb to greed and sell their faith. Even worse individuals trade their precious bodies and do not feel guilty about doing so.”

Dakota’s brow furrowed. She comprehended that Father was specifically targeting her. As soon as Father delivered those final words, several people’s heads started to turn in her direction. She wished to get up and leave immediately, but she was stopped by some inner fortitude. She remained silently seated on her bench.

Father continued, saying, “Evils are prevalent in the society of every era, but a man should develop his inner understanding so that he knows he has to avoid these evils and not get lured by their glitter and glamour and absorb them within himself. Over the past few decades, certain types of films have promoted dirt in American society. Sinful films are being produced, corrupting the entire civilization. Even governments have been unable to stop it. It is our obligation to boycott such films. Also, avoid those who make such films. Such people have no right to live in society since they cannot think of anything good for the society and, instead of trying to make the society better, they aim to drag it to hell.”

The people in the hall applauded, indicating that they agreed with what Father said. Dakota couldn’t take it any longer and stood up. She also began clapping with both hands and continued to do so even after everyone else had stopped. She was the only one clapping at the moment and everyone else was looking at her with curiosity. “Well done, Father,” she said. “You said some lovely things. But please respond to my inquiries.”

Father Davis glanced at her, surprised, and asked, “Ask whatever you want to ask.”

She asked, “All those beautiful flowers that bloom in this world are to be seen or to be covered?”

“I don’t comprehend anything,” Father Davis admitted. “What do you want to say?”

Dakota asked, “If I have a beautiful body and I show it to others, what’s the harm?”

“You not only expose your body, Dakota, but you also do very despicable and disgusting things with other men.” Instead of saying ‘my child’, Father addressed her by her name.

“Father, when did sex become a despicable act? That is a holy act. At least, that’s what I believe. If it was a heinous chore, I would perform it in private and never in front of others. We don’t barter our bodies. It is an act of love and we present it elegantly. A pornographic scene skillfully shot is no less than a melodious song.”

Father Davis continued to silently stare at her after hearing her comments. Maybe he couldn’t find answers to Dakota’s questions. She continued, saying, “And, while you’re urging people here that such films should be boycotted, did you know that your so-called religious people also watch these films? You could deny what I say today, but in the future, you will admit that I was speaking the truth.”

Dakota went on speaking in a single breath. She had no idea that more than half of the people in the hall had left while she was speaking. The only reason for this may be that Dakota’s statements shook their beliefs. Father Davis stood at his place and listened to her. Molly was sitting on the first row of the bench. She whispered in the ear of the woman seated next to her, “We will only breathe a sigh of relief the day this bitch leaves our neighborhood.”

Dakota further said, “Your people secretly watch porn, but we secretly pray to God. Your religious practice is just for demonstration. Your true self is revealed when you are all alone and no one is watching you. I can assure you that you have never prayed while you are alone. We make love in front of the camera but pray in private. God only recognizes those human activities that are performed in private. I made love to 29 men over my 11-year career, and I did it all openly. I have never done anything in my life that I have tried to hide from society. But you must have done something.” Father Davis wiped the sweat off his forehead.

“As far as I know myself, I can confidently assert that neither dishonesty nor greed exist in my thoughts. Father, I am the lily flower that Jesus was referring to when He said, ‘Consider the lilies how they grow, they toil not, they spin not, and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these’.”

Father Davis and the others seated in the hallway were silently staring at Dakota. The courage with which she slapped everyone in the face was something only she could have done. She hurried out of the chapel, leaving them all frozen like statues.

Dakota thought that after unleashing her rage in church, she would be relieved of the discomfort of the previous few days and would be able to sleep easily tonight. This, however, was not possible. She got heartburn shortly after dinner. She tried to recall if she had eaten anything unhealthy. But it wasn’t like that. She couldn’t sleep because she was in so much pain. While bathing in the morning, she noticed that her breasts were sore. She became worried and, without wasting much time she made an appointment with the doctor over the telephone. She got an appointment at noon. She arrived at the clinic on time in her car. The doctor inquired about all of her symptoms before taking samples of her blood and urine for analysis. He asked Dakota to rest in his clinic for two hours. When all the reports arrived at around 2:30 p.m., the doctor informed Dakota that she was pregnant.
