Dale was breathing hard, rifling the mark’s pants pockets.
“Nothing,” Dale said. “He has no money.”
Jenna reached into her jeans. Grabbing the wad of bills, she gave it to Dale. “He has no other money?” she asked.
Ignoring her question, Dale asked: “You okay? Did he . . .”
Jenna averted her eyes.
“I got stopped by the cops coming out the bar,” Dale said. He began counting the money in his hands. He sounded defensive, he sounded guilty. He had blood on his lip, and he wiped it with the back of his hand.
Jenna looked at her mark.
He’d had two hundred dollars. He’d given it all her to her, just because she’d asked. She brushed a bit of dirt from his forehead. He’d thought she was worth it.
“Jenna,” Dale said, his voice sharp.
She looked at her brother.
“Did he . . .” Dale’s eyes blazed. He searched for the right words. “Hurt you?” He wanted to know if the mark had stuck his cock in her mouth.
She had a salty taste that started at the back of her throat and went all the way to her core. The mark’s fly was open and she could see the print on his boxer shorts. She rested her hand on his sculpted chest. She felt it rise, felt it fall.
“Dale,” she said evenly. She didn’t know how to begin.
Dale lunged forward, grabbing the mark by the neck and cocking his fist back, but Jenna threw herself over the man’s unconscious body, pressing his head between her small breasts.
She glared at her brother. “Dale!” she hissed.
Dale made a low animal growl deep in his throat. Twisting his face, he gritted his teeth and made an obscene grin. He turned and punched the brick wall, his fist landing with a dull thud.
He punched the wall three more times in rapid succession, punctuating each blow with an ugly grunt.
“I can’t do this anymore,” Jenna said.
She gently returned the mark’s head to the makeshift pillow, got to her feet and then strode down the alley. Her chest welled with emotion. She swallowed and swallowed and swallowed but the mark’s salty taste remained.
“Jenna,” Dale called, trying to keep his voice low.
She heard him padding after her. He grabbed her arm and spun her around.
“I’m staying here” she said.
She pulled her arm from his grip.
“This shit hole?” Dale asked. “Do you even know where you are?”
Jenna spun on her heel, giving Dale her back.
“Keep the money,” she said, moving purposefully toward the street. “It’s two hundred dollars,” she called out proudly over her shoulder.
Turning the corner, she made her way back toward town. The night was dark and she was dressed to pick up men. The brackish taste in her mouth would not relent. The streetlights cast lonely pools of light. She found herself on a deserted stretch of road, used car lots and fields of dandelion on one side, the dark remnants of some sort of mill stretching out into the distance on the other.
A pale van pulled up to her, one of its cylinders tapping nosily as it inched alongside her. The driver leaned over, rolled the passenger window down.
“Did he hurt you?” Dale asked.
Jenna stopped. The van came to a halt with a squeal.
She hugged her arms. Refused to look inside the cabin of the vehicle.
“Look,” Dale said. “I’m sorry I was late.”
“He didn’t do anything to me that I didn’t already want done,” Jenna said.
She felt tears welling up in her eyes. She kept her face away from Dale. Didn’t want to look him in the eye. Didn’t want to see his disappointment.
“It’s my fault,” Dale said. “I was late.”
His voice was soft.
He was trying, but he still didn’t get it.
“I can’t work with you anymore Dale.” Jenna sighed. “I’m staying here.” She didn’t exactly know where here was, but it was going to be home for a while.
“Okay,” Dale said. “We’ll stay here, then. . . Together.”
She looked at him. Keeping her face even, she asked: “Find real jobs?”
“Sure,” Dale said. “Ma would have liked it that way.”
Jenna kicked her boot against the van’s rusty fender. Standing along the side of the lonely road, she didn’t say anything. She loved her big brother.
She grinned and then it was over. She climbed into the passenger seat.
They drove in silence.
Soon Dale pulled to the side of the road. He pointed to a roadside sign: WELCOME TO CARNAL. In smaller print, just below it read: Enjoy your stay!
“Looks like we’re in Carnal,” Dale said.
The van sputtered, then died. The headlights dimmed.
“I’m sure we’ll enjoy our stay,” Jenna laughed. “Can we stop somewhere and get me something to drink?” she asked.
No matter how much she swallowed, she still had the taste of the mark’s juice in her mouth. She recalled how his stomach muscles had contracted with each flush of fresh semen, her own moment of indecision with his warm cum pooled in her mouth. Sometimes you made one small choice and then it echoed endlessly into the night, an irreversible change of course, marked only by the moon and the distant stars above.
Dale cranked the engine.
In the dim light of the dash, Jenna watched her brother drive her into this small town. He wouldn’t hesitate to cut down any man who tried to hurt her. There was a benefit to having such an invincible protector.
She swallowed again, licking her lips.
But there was also a cost.
She found herself warming to the briny taste in her mouth.
