My therapist told me that I play the slut because of a lack of self-esteem. I thought I played the slut because it makes me feel dirty and the sex is hotter when it’s dirty. I still like to play the slut, but I’m more particular about who I play with these days. It takes more than a big man with hair on his chest and beer on his breath to bring me to my knees.
Most men don’t ask, but the occasional lover wants to know why I have a tattoo on my left breast, just above the nipple, of a heart that’s been torn in two. If they ask, I tell them it’s to remind me that, in this business, things are never what they seem. In this business, it’s wheels within wheels, mysteries without a clue.
Sometimes, on cold winter nights, I awaken alone to the sound of the bitter north wind. I sit up and take out my breast. By the light of the pale moon reflected off the lake, I study the ink on my flesh and remember what it was like to hold a killer in my arms.
