The New Normal

My nightmares were all filled with Maria. Her chasing me through a dark corridor, her taking of her human mask and turning into a cobra monster... All the while I could do nothing but run and scream.

I was powerless.

I woke up just as she was about to chomp my head off. I jolted up like I was struck by lightning.

Oh right. It took a few seconds to remember. Reality was even more horrifying than my dreams.

What the fuck do I do now? I had so much fun in my life just two days ago.

Now everything was flipped on its head.

I needed brand new gameplans.

Suddenly, all kinds of stuff began returning to my head. Stuff I should have thought about yesterday, but simply couldn't because I was so tired...

Wait, did I really spend precious time yesterday... Making Gretchen and Lana 69 each other?

I had to check my phone to make sure. Yup. There it was. A video that made life worth living again.

Also, Gretchen seems to have texted me later, privately.

"Thanks, daddy! ❤️"

A heart emoji now too? Why? Thanks for the cumming? But still... She was liking me too fast. She had literally no reason to. I was horrible to her.

It was starting to feel like I could do almost anything with her. She was very close to a full hundred, after all.

If I told her to go her office naked, would she? Would she quit her job if I told her to? Would she live in a cage, as my sex **** for all eternity, if I told her to?

...

Was it because she had fell so hard and fast that she seemed to be so broken now? Like she needed to rationalize her actions for herself? She had been a really tough fucking boss for several years with me. Now I could push her to do anything. There was nothing she could do about that, since she only grew more submissive with every step. Did she choose to believe that she's doing all of this... out of love or something?

Wait. Think about that. Gretchen loves you? The bitch who made your life hell?

Fine. Be that way. It's going to have to be one-sided. I have a harem of babes to dominate. I'll love her, but only the way a master loves his ****. I'll love her body and her dick-sucking talent, but not her. No way.

Maybe I needed to be even tougher with her?

Either way, I was getting sidetracked here. I should've been thinking about Maria now!

First things first. I needed to go over the events of the last two weeks very carefully in my head. I needed to see things from Maria's perspective. She just had a big pile of new information dropped to her lap yesterday. What would be her next move?

...

Oh yeah, Gretchen! I told Maria that Gretchen got a call from FBI!

I called Gretchen immediately. She sounded pleased as I picked up the phone, but there was no time for pleasantries. I told her the bare minimum. Basically, if she ever found herself in a bad situation with Maria, I told her to admit that she got a call from FBI two weeks ago and that's why she approved my article. I told her she didn't need to know more than that.

There was a small silence, and then a meek "Okay. Daddy.".

She was really growing fond of that word, wasn't she? She seemed to use it all the time we talked privately. Perhaps a little odd?

"So. You and Lana. Are your cunts well lubricated now?"

She didn't say any words. Just a small moan. I took that as a "yes".

"Keep them like that. Never know when I feel like sticking my dick in some hot, newly christened dykes."

After that, I hung up. That issue was dealt with now.

What else...

Oh fuck!

Why was I so stupid? Damned!

I was so tired and **** to get out of the basemen- I mean the storage that I never even checked if my phone was bugged now!

I spent the next fifteen minutes uncovering the phone and searching it with a fine toothcomb. I saw nothing suspicious anywhere.

Two possibilities. Either she didn't have time to bug it, or she was too afraid to do that to an "FBI informant's" phone. Like maybe FBI would see that it was messed with?

Okay. I allowed myself to breathe now. My phone was probably safe.

That made me think back to something else, though.

Maria made another stupid mistake. I mean she could've called me on my bullshit immediately.

Why didn't she stay, and make me to put my call with the FBI on speakerphone?

I wouldn't have known what to do in that situation. What would've been my excuse not to do so? FBI won't agree to speakerphone for security reasons?

That would have been suspicious as fuck.

Was it just a simple mistake on her part? Like she didn't have time to think it all through? Like she only wanted to see what I did alone, through that security camera?

...Well, that was the best reasoning I could come up with. Yes, my plan did have a huge hole in it, and I got incredibly lucky.

She wouldn't make that mistake again.

The next time I called FBI, I couldn't just call any number. There needed to be someone at the other end.

Was I considering hiring an actor?

...How about Maddy?

She has been trying to get into acting for years now. She's not bad at it, and she's got the looks. It's just that she hasn't gotten her lucky break yet. And I could make her do this. She was **** to my friend, after all. And the best part, Maria wouldn't recognize her voice.

Yes. This seemed to make sense. I called Maddy.

"Jack!" she sounded surprisingly chipper, considering how awkward she was last time I saw her. You know, when I made her suck me off in the woods.

"Hi, Maddy. How's things?"

"...It's great that you're calling now! There's still so many things that we need to talk about. Michelle-"

Yes there was. Many things. Too bad I didn't have time for that. I had to get to work. It wouldn't probably be too good for my health to be late today.

"Maddy. Listen. I don't have much time. I need to call in a favor. A big favor. A favor for a friend."

"...Oh my God! Jack? Are you saying... we're friends again?"

"We could be. You're still under evaluation. Here's the thing. I need to hire you as an actor."

"What?"

"From now on, when I call you, you will be playing the part of an FBI agent. Your name will be... I don't know, Lori Rodriguez or something. Yeah let's pick that. Lori Rodriguez."

"Wait, what, why?"

"Listen. The only thing you need to know is I'm working for you. I'm your informant. You will ask me for my latest info. Don't worry about anything else, after that I will direct the conversation. Just agree with everything I say after that. Okay?"

There was a tangible silence after that.

"I... D-Do you want... is this some... roleplay?"

Wow. That's how she interpreted this?

I wanted to say no.

But then again. I was sort of interested to hear what her reaction would be, if it was?

"Just focus on making me happy, Maddy. That's what you need to do now."

"I... I think I can... do this." (MADELEINE +2SP) (+41SP)

Hmm. It was this easy to hire her as my personal sexline? I definitely needed to explore this further. Later.

We said our goodbyes and I was almost mentally prepared to leave for office now.

And face Maria.

I had two huge missions I needed to finish today. Not only survive Maria and forge our partnership, but also to stop her from selling the magazine.

Happily, thanks to that painful twist yesterday, I had all the material to do the latter now.
