Ashley can not betray her friend twice in one day

Ashley's first instinct was to get out of trouble. Her second thought was how exciting it was to have been tongued by Julie. But then she thought about how her friend had licked her. Not just going through the motions as the blackmailer (Julie thought) had wanted her to do but actually taking delight in pleasing Ashley. She thought about how she might have created more trouble for Julie with her earlier stunt and even how Julie had been willing to be late to try to find a better shirt for Ashley to wear. And then she had the scene flash in her mind of how Julie had been struggling to satisfy the blackmailer just a couple of minutes before and how rough he had been with her. Julie needed someone to look out for her. And Ashley knew that whatever the blackmailer would dish out she could handle better than Julie.

She looked over at the blackmailer in his stupid black suit and then over at Julie.

"Come on. There is a bathroom over there. Let's get you cleaned up before we go downstairs. We don't want people knowing what happened in here. There will be enough stories going around without either one of us looking like a mess."

"No, I can't. He said I have to go down like this."

"It's all right. He wrote my note after yours. He said he changed his mind after watching us earlier. Its ok."

Ashley steered her toward the bathroom and heard the door closing as the blackmailer left the bedroom.
