highly addictive. It can speed up the heart rate, create difficulty breathing, causes seizures, strokes, it could even kill you Sapphire. I’d be upset if anything ever happened to you.”
    The tender way he looked at me made me nervous. I took a swallow of wine.
    “Thanks for the medical advice, but if you want my ass bent over that wedge next Friday, you’ve got to provide something more than these crumpets and cakes. Have you ever thrown an actual party, J?”
    “No, not really.”
    “I didn’t think so.”
    I finished my glass, poured another and sat down on the couch, petulantly crossing my legs and staring back up at him. There was a long silence in the room. I was getting cranky and needed a hit. Our first fight…
    “I get the feeling you won’t be staying for the night, Sapphire.”
    “I don’t do sleepovers J, sorry.”
    “May I call you during the week? I’m not sure I can wait until next Friday to see you again.”
    “You don’t have my phone number.”
    “301-453-3798.”
    “Hey! How did you—”
    “I didn’t think you’d give it to me, so I snuck in while you were in the shower and got the number out of your cell phone from the pocket of your jeans.”
    “You sneaky bastard! That’s invasion of privacy!”
    “I know. And you can’t sue me, you signed the contract, remember?”
    “Smart boy.”
    “I need to see you midweek. I won’t take no for an answer.”
    “I’m busy with my classes.”
    “You can study over here; say every Tuesday or Wednesday night. Whichever you prefer.”
    “Oh I’m sure I’ll have plenty of time to catch up on my ‘studying’ here.”
    “I promise I’ll leave you alone. You can work in the library. My home is your home now, Sapphire. What do you say?”
    “We’ll see. Bring something stronger next time, J. It’s supposed to be a party.”
    “We’ll see, Sapphire. Have a bite to eat. You’re too skinny.”
    J took another sip of his glass of wine, kissed me on the cheek and left for his next appointment.
    I felt bad about our little snit at the end. Sorry, J. But this girl needs her fix.
    So, dear diary, that’s the news from the Rockville Harem. Once I’ve got something juicy to write about, I’ll add more later...

Chapter Five
    Evelyn
    After our… interlude Friday night, Jeremy escorted me to a couch in his living room with my virginity barely intact and handed me this journal to record my thoughts. I saw Cynthia there and one other woman whom I haven’t been introduced to yet. I can only assume both women had sexual relations with Jeremy tonight. They were both scribbling away in their journals. I decided to record my impressions while they were fresh in my mind. What in the world am I doing here? What have I done?
    Though you may not believe me, it was my original intention to come here in a completely loving and non-judgmental way to minister to Jeremy, just as I know Jesus would have. But rather than helping to save his soul and lead him back onto the path of righteousness, in one long sensual unforgettable moment, one extremely pleasurable kiss, I’m afraid I have willingly become another one of the lost souls here, one of the damned. I’ve plunged headlong from the light into the dark, and I’m not sure I want to go back. I think I might like it better in the shadows now…
    I’m twenty seven years old now, and I still don’t have a boyfriend. Even though everyone has always told me how pretty I am, I’ve had a little trouble meeting the right guy. I’ve gone out on a few dates with single men from my church, and though I had a pleasant time, there seemed to be something missing with each one of them. A spark of chemistry just wasn’t there. I was looking at maybe trying out some dating services like Christian Singles or Match.com, but the guys I saw profiled on those websites just didn’t catch my eye. Completely by accident I found on a Google search a site called Adult Friend Finders. After a brief look over the profiles,
