00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.520
When I first started out as a corrections officer,

00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:05.400
I was told to keep an eye out for the bad ones,

00:00:05.740 --> 00:00:09.800
or the influences. As a woman, it was easy to

00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:12.140
get trapped, to get caught up in the life of

00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:15.980
a criminal. But at 25, I thought I had my head

00:00:15.980 --> 00:00:18.820
on straight. I thought I had everything under

00:00:18.820 --> 00:00:22.219
control. And it stayed that way for two years.

00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:26.280
I kept my head down, did my job, and kept those

00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:30.160
criminals in line. That was… until Vince Trevato

00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:33.280
came into my life. He was booked for assault

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:36.380
and possession of a deadly weapon. He's also

00:00:36.380 --> 00:00:39.420
known to be in a gang. I got transferred to the

00:00:39.420 --> 00:00:42.320
night shift, which meant I saw him every minute,

00:00:42.859 --> 00:00:46.700
every second. And I don't know. There was just

00:00:46.700 --> 00:00:50.399
something about this man that drew me in. Vince

00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:54.920
has this smirk, a smile that calls to me, a sweet

00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:57.920
and dangerous one, just on the edge of trouble.

00:00:58.469 --> 00:01:02.509
And then the tattoos. They are different. I've

00:01:02.509 --> 00:01:06.010
seen tattoos over the years. But on him? They

00:01:06.010 --> 00:01:10.090
look good. They look fucking sexy. Vince is the

00:01:10.090 --> 00:01:12.329
solid build of a guy who frequents the gym and

00:01:12.329 --> 00:01:15.510
can pick me up with one hand. I'm a relatively

00:01:15.510 --> 00:01:18.829
big girl, so I know what I'm saying. He has a

00:01:18.829 --> 00:01:22.469
deep tan and a look my mom warned me about. Like

00:01:22.469 --> 00:01:25.109
the bad boy in high school. The kind that gets

00:01:25.109 --> 00:01:26.790
you in trouble and disappears when you're stuck

00:01:26.790 --> 00:01:30.579
in a rut. But every night, when I do my rounds,

00:01:31.340 --> 00:01:34.159
Vince is standing at the bars, looking at me.

00:01:34.739 --> 00:01:38.040
I'll stop, take one good look at him, and he'll

00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.819
smile, just like I always imagined. I'm getting

00:01:42.819 --> 00:01:47.319
out tomorrow, he says, and it takes me by surprise.

00:01:48.340 --> 00:01:51.180
Guys like him didn't just walk out, they stay

00:01:51.180 --> 00:01:53.540
in or get transferred to the worst of the worst.

00:01:54.340 --> 00:01:56.519
So that means either he has a damn good lawyer,

00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:59.260
Or the guy he works for has high people in their

00:01:59.260 --> 00:02:04.120
pocket. I guess that's a good thing, I say. Are

00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:08.259
you gonna miss me? I shake my head. I'm not even

00:02:08.259 --> 00:02:11.460
supposed to be talking to him. And yet, here

00:02:11.460 --> 00:02:15.319
I am. I'm gonna miss those thick thighs of yours.

00:02:16.180 --> 00:02:20.039
And those beautiful lips. I can't say the same

00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:25.500
about you. Oh, come on. There's gotta be something

00:02:25.500 --> 00:02:29.530
you'll miss. I don't even know you. You know

00:02:29.530 --> 00:02:32.990
me enough to stop and talk to me tonight. I didn't

00:02:32.990 --> 00:02:35.969
respond. Just stared down the hallway where I

00:02:35.969 --> 00:02:39.030
should have been moments ago. Don't worry, babe.

00:02:39.229 --> 00:02:45.830
I'll find you. That stops me cold. Find me? He

00:02:45.830 --> 00:02:49.969
winks. Go on. Don't give them the wrong idea.

00:02:51.310 --> 00:02:53.590
Then he turns around and heads back to his bed.

00:02:54.710 --> 00:02:58.319
Good night, sweet thing. At first, I don't think

00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.020
anything of what Vince said. After all, he's

00:03:01.020 --> 00:03:04.199
just a criminal with a good lawyer. But when

00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:08.319
I come back the next day, he's gone. Just like

00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:11.699
he said. I get off my shift that morning, and

00:03:11.699 --> 00:03:14.979
as I'm driving home, my phone rings. It's an

00:03:14.979 --> 00:03:18.460
unidentified number, but I answer anyway. It

00:03:18.460 --> 00:03:21.099
could be my brother. He's always had a thing

00:03:21.099 --> 00:03:26.240
for burner phones. Yes? I answer. Hello, sweet

00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:29.919
thing. A chill runs through my spine at the sound

00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:33.979
of his voice. How did you get my number? It's

00:03:33.979 --> 00:03:38.560
quite easy. Missed me? I hang up. My heart's

00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.099
racing. And I have to pull off to the side of

00:03:41.099 --> 00:03:44.939
the road. I've done it. I've finally done the

00:03:44.939 --> 00:03:47.379
exact thing I swore I'd never do when I started

00:03:47.379 --> 00:03:51.580
this job. I played with the devils. And now,

00:03:51.979 --> 00:03:56.310
they want me. I take a breath, then another.

00:03:57.150 --> 00:03:59.449
By the time I'm home, I'm staring at my phone,

00:03:59.909 --> 00:04:03.169
thinking maybe he'll call back. But he doesn't.

00:04:03.810 --> 00:04:07.990
Not that night. Not the next. Not even the one

00:04:07.990 --> 00:04:12.610
after that. But five days later. I'm on my way

00:04:12.610 --> 00:04:14.669
to my mom's house for the weekend when my phone

00:04:14.669 --> 00:04:18.509
rings again. It's a different number, but I answer.

00:04:19.870 --> 00:04:23.310
Are you gonna hang up on me now? That depends.

00:04:24.210 --> 00:04:28.889
What? You don't want to talk to me. How did you

00:04:28.889 --> 00:04:32.269
get my number? It's not that hard, actually.

00:04:32.649 --> 00:04:37.490
Are you scared? No. Good. Should I be scared?

00:04:38.350 --> 00:04:43.550
I don't know. Maybe you should tell me. What

00:04:43.550 --> 00:04:47.230
do you want from me? I want to see you. That's

00:04:47.230 --> 00:04:50.250
going to be impossible. Make it possible, sweet

00:04:50.250 --> 00:04:54.410
cake. Or do I have to come find you myself? I

00:04:54.410 --> 00:04:57.750
go quiet. I'm parked outside my mom's house.

00:04:58.370 --> 00:05:00.790
A glance up tells me she's standing on the porch,

00:05:01.389 --> 00:05:03.430
probably wondering why I'm still in the car.

00:05:04.250 --> 00:05:07.730
She'll be walking over any minute now. Listen,

00:05:08.129 --> 00:05:11.050
I say to Vince, I'm busy right now. I can't talk.

00:05:12.449 --> 00:05:17.050
So you want a rain check? No, I need you to stop

00:05:17.050 --> 00:05:21.709
calling me. I don't think I can do that. Then

00:05:21.709 --> 00:05:25.889
try. I hang up and step out of my car. I don't

00:05:25.889 --> 00:05:29.370
know why, but this thing between us, this banter,

00:05:29.769 --> 00:05:34.350
feels good. It's edgy, dangerous. But I'm playing.

00:05:35.250 --> 00:05:39.009
I'm literally playing at the devil's door. Because

00:05:39.009 --> 00:05:42.329
why the hell do I want this so badly? Am I really

00:05:42.329 --> 00:05:45.629
that bored with my life that I'd consider a rendezvous

00:05:45.629 --> 00:05:49.990
with a criminal? I fix my dress, close the car

00:05:49.990 --> 00:05:52.870
door. and smile as I walk up the cobblestone

00:05:52.870 --> 00:05:56.569
path toward my mom and her sister. What were

00:05:56.569 --> 00:05:59.910
you doing in the car so long? Mom asks. I was

00:05:59.910 --> 00:06:03.069
on a phone call. Work thing. Sorry. That's alright.

00:06:04.089 --> 00:06:07.810
My phone buzzes again. I ignore it. Well, you

00:06:07.810 --> 00:06:12.889
can answer it. No, I'm fine. But I'm not. I'm

00:06:12.889 --> 00:06:16.029
itching to answer it. Itching to hear that deep,

00:06:16.250 --> 00:06:19.629
wicked voice. This man has me in a chokehold.

00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:24.000
and I don't know why. The day is almost over,

00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:27.600
and not once has Vince called me back. I've been

00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:30.800
on edge the entire evening because of that. Because

00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:34.699
I want him to. But he doesn't. And now I'm a

00:06:34.699 --> 00:06:38.319
wreck. I leave my mom's place and drive home,

00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:42.879
thinking maybe, just maybe, he'll know I'm home.

00:06:43.379 --> 00:06:48.560
But still, nothing. I wait another week. An entire

00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:52.279
week. And when he finally calls, I answer without

00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:56.860
hesitation. Someone's quick to answer. He says,

00:06:57.540 --> 00:07:01.300
I thought it was my mom. He laughs, deep and

00:07:01.300 --> 00:07:06.259
unfiltered. And damn it, I smile. It's good to

00:07:06.259 --> 00:07:10.779
know I can make him laugh. Your mom. So you do

00:07:10.779 --> 00:07:15.300
have a mom. Instant regret. Shouldn't have said

00:07:15.300 --> 00:07:20.829
that. It's okay. He murmurs. You don't have to

00:07:20.829 --> 00:07:25.709
lie. Your secret's safe with me. What secret?

00:07:26.610 --> 00:07:30.470
Nothing. So, are you ready for me to see you?

00:07:31.610 --> 00:07:38.769
No. Then I guess I'll have to come to you. You

00:07:38.769 --> 00:07:41.990
don't know where I live. The moment it leaves

00:07:41.990 --> 00:07:44.790
my mouth, he recites my address like he's known

00:07:44.790 --> 00:07:48.220
it his whole life. Like it's his own damn nursery

00:07:48.220 --> 00:07:52.600
rhyme. I suck in a sharp breath. How did you

00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:57.259
know that? I told you. It's easy to know things.

00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.720
Have you been watching me? Do you want me to

00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:08.459
watch you? I stay quiet. I guess you do. I never

00:08:08.459 --> 00:08:11.860
answered you. Would it turn you on to know I'm

00:08:11.860 --> 00:08:16.589
watching? Again, I'm silent. Because the idea

00:08:16.589 --> 00:08:19.449
crawls over my skin and burns down through my

00:08:19.449 --> 00:08:25.250
veins. I hate it. And I fucking want it. You're

00:08:25.250 --> 00:08:28.670
liking this, aren't you? I don't know who you

00:08:28.670 --> 00:08:30.629
are. I'm not going to trust a criminal and a

00:08:30.629 --> 00:08:35.149
stranger. Then don't trust me, Angela. Now he

00:08:35.149 --> 00:08:38.210
knows my name. I've never given him my name.

00:08:39.190 --> 00:08:46.700
Shit. So, you got a boyfriend? Yes. I answer

00:08:46.700 --> 00:08:50.799
too quickly. He tisks his tongue. I don't believe

00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:55.240
you. Why? Because the entire time I've been watching,

00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:00.779
not once have you had a guy over. Silence. This

00:09:00.779 --> 00:09:04.159
is spiraling. He knows too much. This should

00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:06.820
be the end of the call. This is the point where

00:09:06.820 --> 00:09:10.539
I should run. I should alert the police. And

00:09:10.539 --> 00:09:17.570
yet, I stay. So, do you wanna fuck? I swallow

00:09:17.570 --> 00:09:22.669
a lump in my throat. Excuse me? When last have

00:09:22.669 --> 00:09:25.809
you been fucked? That's none of your concern.

00:09:26.529 --> 00:09:31.370
It is now. What do you want from me? There's

00:09:31.370 --> 00:09:35.169
silence for some seconds, but then he says...

00:09:35.169 --> 00:09:40.750
I want us to become friends. Close friends. Sorry,

00:09:40.750 --> 00:10:12.930
I don't acquaint with criminals. Ha ha ha Still

00:10:12.930 --> 00:10:16.049
nothing. Are you always this mum when people

00:10:16.049 --> 00:10:19.789
ask you questions? What do you want, Vince? I

00:10:19.789 --> 00:10:25.190
already told you. I want to see you. I could

00:10:25.190 --> 00:10:29.049
lose my job just speaking with you. You won't.

00:10:29.169 --> 00:10:33.690
Trust me. It's hard to trust a guy I barely know.

00:10:34.710 --> 00:10:36.769
Don't you trust your boss to pay you at the end

00:10:36.769 --> 00:10:39.470
of the month? Even though you don't know them?

00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:47.559
Okay. He says? Let's make it a bit easier. How

00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:51.000
about we video chat? You get to see me, I get

00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:53.659
to see you, and I'm the only one doing the things

00:10:53.659 --> 00:10:59.320
around here. What things? You'll see. I don't

00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:02.840
have a laptop. That's not a problem, sweetheart.

00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:08.960
Tomorrow. We'll do it then, okay? I'm confused.

00:11:09.019 --> 00:11:14.440
Do what? You'll see. Don't worry. I've got you.

00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:18.720
I still don't say anything. I feel like every

00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:22.340
word is digging me deeper. Like if I speak, I'll

00:11:22.340 --> 00:11:27.460
cross the point of no return. All right. If you

00:11:27.460 --> 00:11:30.340
don't want to say anything, I'll talk to you

00:11:30.340 --> 00:11:35.639
tomorrow. I hang up. I barely sleep. I wake up

00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:38.600
the morning and I'm a fucking wreck. Not even

00:11:38.600 --> 00:12:08.259
three cups of coffee are calming my nerves. Hi,

00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:14.529
sweet cakes. What do you want? Feisty. I've got

00:12:14.529 --> 00:12:18.470
a gift for you. In less than 30 seconds. 20,

00:12:18.870 --> 00:12:22.490
actually. You'll hear a knock at your door. No

00:12:22.490 --> 00:12:25.950
one will be there. But you can collect your gift.

00:12:26.929 --> 00:12:29.370
I shoot to my feet and rush to the door, checking

00:12:29.370 --> 00:12:33.269
the peephole. No one's there. But I hear footsteps.

00:12:33.950 --> 00:12:37.549
Quick, fading. I open the door, and down the

00:12:37.549 --> 00:12:39.549
hallway, a guy disappears around the corner.

00:12:40.009 --> 00:12:44.230
I look down. A decent -sized box sits at my feet,

00:12:44.889 --> 00:12:48.669
wrapped in shiny purple paper. Did you get it?

00:12:49.549 --> 00:12:55.950
I did. Good. Now open it. I head back to my couch,

00:12:56.269 --> 00:13:01.070
tear it open, and freeze. It's a laptop. I stare

00:13:01.070 --> 00:13:04.769
at it like it's glowing. Like it's illegal. And

00:13:04.769 --> 00:13:09.039
maybe it is. Suppose it's stolen. What if I just

00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:12.139
received stolen goods? Where did you get this

00:13:12.139 --> 00:13:16.820
from? An electronics store. He says like it's

00:13:16.820 --> 00:13:20.860
no big deal. Load it up. There's an app on the

00:13:20.860 --> 00:13:24.799
desktop, right below the recycling bin. Click

00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:29.100
it. I open the laptop and boot it up. Just like

00:13:29.100 --> 00:13:33.379
he said, the app is there. I click it. Select

00:13:33.379 --> 00:13:38.440
log in. I do. The camera flicks on automatically

00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:44.000
and suddenly I'm calling him or someone. My gut

00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:50.059
twists. Are you still there? Yes, I say, holding

00:13:50.059 --> 00:13:54.220
the phone taut to my ear. Good. You're calling

00:13:54.220 --> 00:13:57.019
to have a video conversation. When I answer,

00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:00.179
you'll see me. It's up to you if you want me

00:14:00.179 --> 00:14:03.960
to see you. You can turn off your video or leave

00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:08.210
it on. It's your choice. Just mute it and keep

00:14:08.210 --> 00:14:13.509
the call rolling for me. I swallow. Okay. What

00:14:13.509 --> 00:14:16.730
are you doing right now? Sitting on my couch.

00:14:17.549 --> 00:14:23.769
You comfortable? I think so. Good. He answers

00:14:23.769 --> 00:14:27.090
the video call. He's lying in bed, propped up

00:14:27.090 --> 00:14:29.850
against white fluffy pillows. His sheets are

00:14:29.850 --> 00:14:32.889
perfectly tucked, thick and clean, like some

00:14:32.889 --> 00:14:37.220
luxury hotel. The room is softly lit, gray walls,

00:14:37.620 --> 00:14:41.360
padded headboard, serene. But it's him I can't

00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:45.399
stop looking at. Tattoos everywhere, teardrops

00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:49.860
under his eyes, the number 51 on his cheek, skulls

00:14:49.860 --> 00:14:52.740
inked into his neck, stitched symbols around

00:14:52.740 --> 00:14:57.000
his lips. He's all danger. And I'm completely

00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:00.179
drawn to him. There's movement in the background,

00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.919
then the laptop lowers onto the bed. Vince steps

00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:06.840
away from the screen for a second, out of frame.

00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:11.799
Want to hang up the phone? He says. You can always

00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:17.960
just listen to the audio. No. I prefer to keep

00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:22.740
it on. You sure? Isn't this your work phone?

00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:26.399
All the more reason to keep it safe from you.

00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:31.139
He laughs. Okay. But I think you'll change your

00:15:31.139 --> 00:15:34.990
mind soon. The camera shifts again, and Vince

00:15:34.990 --> 00:15:39.009
comes back into frame, shirtless, wearing only

00:15:39.009 --> 00:15:42.370
navy blue boxers. He runs his hand across his

00:15:42.370 --> 00:15:45.409
lower stomach, then slowly up over his chest.

00:15:46.509 --> 00:15:49.309
He's built like a brick, and before I can even

00:15:49.309 --> 00:15:51.490
process what's happening, he drops his pants.

00:15:52.429 --> 00:15:56.149
My breath catches. I'm frozen, staring at the

00:15:56.149 --> 00:15:59.490
screen without even blinking. Like what you see?

00:16:00.409 --> 00:16:03.929
He asks. tapping one side of his earpiece. I

00:16:03.929 --> 00:16:07.389
don't answer. Instead, I switch off my camera.

00:16:08.190 --> 00:16:11.990
He laughs low and rough. A little shy, aren't

00:16:11.990 --> 00:16:16.470
you? I still don't say anything. Then he shifts

00:16:16.470 --> 00:16:19.529
his weight, moving one hand over his length,

00:16:19.990 --> 00:16:23.210
slow and deliberate. I can hear him breathing,

00:16:23.889 --> 00:16:29.549
heavy, controlled, turned on. He's hard, fully

00:16:29.549 --> 00:16:32.830
erect. And I hate how much I'm liking what I

00:16:32.830 --> 00:16:38.210
see. This is what you do to me, Anji. He breathes.

00:16:38.509 --> 00:16:42.370
I don't respond. But he can hear my breath. I

00:16:42.370 --> 00:16:47.669
know he can. You watching? I'll stop if you don't

00:16:47.669 --> 00:16:55.309
answer. Yes. I say quietly. Good girl. He turns

00:16:55.309 --> 00:16:58.110
to the side and shows me everything. His full

00:16:58.110 --> 00:17:01.230
length, his profile. the tightness in his butt

00:17:01.230 --> 00:17:04.210
cheeks. It's been a long time since I've seen

00:17:04.210 --> 00:17:09.029
a man like this. Raw, unfiltered, and unapologetic.

00:17:09.890 --> 00:17:16.970
Is this good enough for you? Yes. He smirks and

00:17:16.970 --> 00:17:20.390
rubs his thumb over the tip, slow and purposeful,

00:17:20.910 --> 00:17:24.369
showing me how wet he is. Then he shifts again,

00:17:24.809 --> 00:17:27.069
cock slapping lightly against his thigh with

00:17:27.069 --> 00:17:31.980
every sway of his hips. Taunting me. All of this

00:17:31.980 --> 00:17:35.519
could be for you, but you don't want to see me.

00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:39.680
The screen zooms out slightly, and I realize

00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:43.279
I'm rubbing my own tits, squeezing my thighs

00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:48.740
under the laptop. Good God. And since you don't

00:17:48.740 --> 00:17:52.539
want it, he continues, then someone else shall

00:17:52.539 --> 00:17:57.720
have it. That's when she appears. A woman, long

00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:02.599
black hair, Naked. Slim body. Nothing like me.

00:18:03.460 --> 00:18:06.079
Vince tosses her onto the bed and she yelps playfully.

00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:11.259
He slaps her ass. This could be you. He says,

00:18:11.700 --> 00:18:14.900
climbing behind her. But you love playing games.

00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:21.400
He spits in his hand and strokes his cock. Annoyance

00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:26.599
rises. Jealousy too. And something else. Rage.

00:18:27.669 --> 00:18:33.329
Watch this The moment he plunges inside her I

00:18:33.329 --> 00:18:37.009
hang up fuck him and fuck her too
