DITW 14-2: Inferior Angel
Added 2024-03-26 23:00:04 +0000 UTCHer pussy was too wet. Why would Kimmy be this wet?
Were these the kinds of thoughts he would always endure with her from now on? Ones of worry and suspicion? Her pussy teemed with juices; their union was slick and messy and made sounds of liquid flesh sliding and smacking and slurping.
But fuck it made him hard.
It made him so hard to be inside her right now when she wanted him so badly. When she needed him. Her nails raked his back, and she moaned and writhed as he pumped into her, her knees up at his hips. His cock was like iron thinking of her the way he’d seen her at The Hazelton. Just like she was now, but her guts being reamed by Devlin’s huge cock, her slick little pussy lips clinging to life on Devlin’s massive girth. And that knot in her belly; the head of Devlin’s cock so deep inside of her and making her squirt.
“Oh, Josh,” she moaned. “You’re so hard. You feel so good.”
And that ruined it. That reminded him of the lies that spilled from those other wet lips. Those words of encouragement were lies. Weren’t they? Did he feel good? Could he feel good in comparison? It didn’t seem likely, and that brought the dread again—all the bad that came intertwined with the dark joy in watching her with Devlin. Lies and betrayal; whispered compliments meant to manipulate.
His thrusts slowed, and in response, Kimmy squeezed him tighter, her arms around his neck, her thighs on his hips. Like she was afraid he would flee again and go into hiding. Like a witness protection program for men who’d seen the worst and couldn’t face the consequences of bearing it.
“Josh, don’t stop,” she whispered, her hips humping against his. “I want you to come inside me. Please? I want to feel that.”
He grunted, putting his forehead into the pillows at her collar, feeling his hardness retreating, his cock going flimsy inside her.
She rubbed his back. “Tell me what to do, Josh. I’ll do anything.”
“I don’t want anything,” he said, frustrated. Hating now that they were in bed together, that he was that easy a lay, that one look in his wife’s seductive eyes and he was in their bed and giving her what she wanted.
“Dirty stuff, Josh. I’ll say anything. Do you want that? I’ll do that.”
He shook his head, but her urging brought potential whispers in his ears, things he could imagine she would say. Things like how big Devlin’s cock was and how he felt so good how he filled her up like Josh could never do, give her pleasure only a bad man like Devlin Stone could, and how she loved being so bad she would do anything for that pleasure, even betray the man she loved. That’s how much she liked Devlin’s huge cock and balls and the way his come shot a yard into the air in thick ropes of unbelievable volume.
“Oh, that’s it, baby,” she cooed, writhing against him as his cock thundered to full, blood-rushing steel again. He squinted against the embarrassment of it all, the sheer humiliation of the things that turned him on.
“Come inside me, okay?” She said, “Come on, I want you to come.”
And now he was galloping after it, chasing down his eruption, wanting to fill her up with his seed, wanting to get it over with in a sense, wanting the clear-headedness that followed an orgasm. Through gritted teeth, he said, “Can you feel him? Feel him when he comes in you?”
Kimmy grunted, and the sound reminded him of a transmission changing gears, Kimmy knowing they were going for it now and they would be dirty instead of kind and loving. “Oh yeah,” she gasped. “Oh yes, Josh.”
“You fucking feel him? Feel the way he comes? Feel it . . . Squirting in you?”
Kimmy grabbed his ass cheeks, forcing him to fuck her harder, and he knew this was real. This was turning her on. Kimmy loved the debauchery, the wickedness, the sin. That’s what turned her on. They got the bed squeaking, Kimmy panting and gasping, saying, “He fills me up, Josh, I feel it going off inside me, and, oh, ah, he pumps me full of come until it’s, mm, it’s spilling out of my pussy and all over the sheets, and, oh, mm . . .”
Kimmy orgasmed with him, both of their bodies tightening and twisting, both of them uttering gibberish and hissing air, Kimmy’s nails digging into his ass until he thought he was scarred. He pumped her full of come. Whatever he could produce. Little bursts of his mediocre seed, jetting half the depth inside her that her horse-cock lover did. But the pleasure rolled and rumbled and bloomed in his mind and in his heart until he collapsed on her, heaving to catch his breath. Kimmy hugged him.
But the shame filled the vacuum of lust’s absence. He’d pumped all of it into her wet pussy and now he was left with the cold reality of why they were in bed like this and how it all came to be. Tears filled his eyes, and he broke from her clutch, rolling to her side, facing away from her and trying not to sob. Kimmy clung to his back, putting a long thigh over his hip, running her nails on his arm.
“I’m so sorry, Josh. I’m so sorry. I love you. I love you so much. You know that.”
He nodded, lips slim, brows bowed in glumness, eyes looking beyond their window and out into the starry night. It was terrible to be in this bed, but it was better than being alone.
“I betrayed you. I know I did. I’m lucky to have you here with me now. I know that. I know it. Are you listening?”
“I don’t want to talk right now,” he said, wanting her silenced. He was pure woman at the moment. Not a man. He was tender and overflowing with emotion, sensitive to touch and to words. He said, “Just stay with me.” Kimmy could say the right thing or the wrong thing in this moment and they would be received the same way. Silence was king. Silence would be king until he’d healed his heart.
Kimmy kissed the back of his neck and held him, saying nothing.
*
Later, maybe after an hour or so, Kimmy shifted behind him and brought him out of a fleeting and fitful slumber. He asked her where she was going.
“Do you want something to eat? Did you have dinner?”
“You made dumplings?”
She caressed his hip.
“You made them for me?” There was the tone of an inquisitor in his voice, and Kimmy heard it.
“You like my dumplings,” she said.
“That’s why you made them.” It was like an accusation; a revelation of how his mind fabricated her methodology, the way he calculated his own wife’s manipulations. But at the end of the sad day, Kimmy had just made him dumplings, and had made them because she knew he liked them. It was him attaching great nefarious weight to the act. Instead of explaining himself or apologizing for his harshness, he turned away again as if he would sleep, eyes open and looking out the window at the almost-black night.
She snuggled against his back, then traced the backs of her nails down his naked hip and thigh, doing it over and over again in a playful way that he still interpreted as manipulative. But what did he have that she wanted? What was it that he had that would make her lie and betray and manipulate her way back into his good grace? Was it his seven-figure bank account? Was it his rock hard body that she loved to caress? Was it his foot long horse cock that touched a trigger point in her pussy so deep it made the clit and the g-spot underwhelming gimcrack-things of commonplace? Devlin had those things, yet it was in Josh Waters’s bed Kimmy mewled and wriggled, looking for comfort. But accepting his own wife’s love had become an albatross, an anchor that weighed him down to the depths with the enormity of self-realization: You’re a simpleton, a rube. A victim. A perpetual victim. The nice guy that let people get their jollies off him as long as they paid him a cheap nicety.
“I would do anything,” she whispered, “to be with you like we were before, be with you just to hear your excitement when I made you something good to eat.”
He closed his eyes, longing for that time to return as well.
She snuggled against his back. She whispered something, and he was sure it was, “We’re a team.”
If only it could be so. If only he could trust her that way.
Then, more clearly, she whispered near his ear, “Do you think we can be like that again?”
His eyes squeezed tight; his jaw clenched. That’s all he wanted. But there was no way to get there.
He said, “You’re pregnant.”
“I am,” she sighed, fingertips still grazing his skin.
Then, so out of the blue he had to repeat it over twice in his own mind before it registered, she said, “I told Devlin it was his.”
His vision pinched into darkness, and he covered his eyes, hunching forward. Kimmy sighed, sensing his reaction, knowing she’d hurt him again. She hugged him tighter, afraid he would pop out of bed. He said, “What? You said what? Why?”
She said, “To hurt him.”
It made no sense, and he scoffed, shaking his head, saying, “What if it’s his?”
“It’s not, Josh. I swear it.”
“You don’t know it.”
“Do you want a DNA test?”
He grunted and pulled free from her arms, sitting up, but not leaving. Kimmy stayed with her head on the pillow next to him, watching him. Their eyes met, and he studied her, trying to comprehend how she had changed, how she had transformed into someone who scared him so much. Where had his other Kimmy gone?
“I will get you one,” she said. “I will get you one right away if it makes you feel better. I swear it’s ours, Josh.”
He stared and blinked, struggling to remain level at this unbalanced time. “I appreciate how earnest you are. But those are words of, I don’t know, hope or something. Wishes.” He looked away, out at the night. “He came inside you without a condom, didn’t he? Before you were on the pill?”
He heard the sound of her silky hair on the pillow, Kimmy shaking her head no. He looked back at her. “He didn’t?”
She said, “He didn’t come inside me.”
“But did he wear a condom?”
Her mouth opened and closed. Then she said, “No. But we didn’t have real sex.”
His stomach twisted thinking about it. “But he put it inside you?”
She nodded. He groaned and looked away.
Kimmy sat up and touched his arm. “It’s not his, Josh. I know it. I feel it.”
He hung his head, growling into his hands, heart crushed, ears ringing, wondering how he had the resolve to remain in this bed with her. The hotel room had been comfortable. He said, “You can’t feel it. Can’t feel whose it is. What do you think, you’re going to feel devil horns scraping your insides?”
“Don’t be flippant, Josh,” she said. “I know you’re mad. But I know you want this. We can make it all work. I’ll do anything.”
“Except quit your job,” he said into his hands.
She said, “That’s how I’m going to make it work.”
Comments
JL23 Yes, Also when he asked if Devlin taught her to squirt. "Don't be gross Josh"! I still want to know what the disgusting thing Kimmy did to Devlin in the last two chapters was? I think she put the panties on him and I predict she gave him a rim job! I don't think she used a dildo on him.
Andrew Mellein
2024-04-02 15:23:30 +0000 UTC"But what did he have that she wanted?" That she was unable to ask for, or was ashamed to admit to... as she crouched behind her layered shield of emotional nihilism, or searched his tender flanks for weaknesses using sensual fingertips with retracted claws.
Bill F Protagoras
2024-04-01 20:55:54 +0000 UTCIt's extremely ironic because not so many months ago she was as she 'confessed' a naive little mouse but now she thinks she is some kind of worldly Don Juan... from the little we are able to devise.
Bill F Protagoras
2024-04-01 20:47:06 +0000 UTCGuess in reading again, I picked up another Kimmy deflection technique, when Josh has a question she doesn’t want to answer, or doesn’t have an answer for: blame him for the question, or try to make him feel bad for asking it. She does it here when Josh makes the devil’s horns comment about not knowing if the baby is Devlin’s: “Don’t be flippant, Josh.” She’s done it before too when Josh asks her about enjoying sex with Devlin: “Don’t be disgusting, Josh, Don’t be crude, Josh.” Haven’t seen him comment on this manipulation technique, but it’s definitely one she uses a great deal. I can’t (don’t want to) answer that, so I’m going to try to make him feel like he was unjustified to bring it up.
JL23
2024-04-01 18:11:37 +0000 UTCQuite right Bill, Josh should have Kimmy come to him and not the other way around.
Andrew Mellein
2024-03-30 01:03:31 +0000 UTCRight now Josh is so timid and compliant he is the scapegoat the trauma of his wife's emptied belly claimed him for... He needs to reclaim himself. To see himself in other friendly approachable eyes... not slithering over the lip of a treacherous voragine...

2024-03-29 06:58:22 +0000 UTCI also hope it's Devlins. And it would be pointless any kinda lazy to not answer the biggest questions of the series.
Chris K
2024-03-28 22:50:22 +0000 UTCCorrect! I think it would add more drama and angst if Devlin was the father. If Josh was the father it would probably end in a HEA. And I think Kimmy needs to pay for her sins in some way. She is trying to have her cake and eat it too. What better way than it being her lovers kid. Which is the opposite of what she wants! And Josh leaving her!
Andrew Mellein
2024-03-28 20:23:22 +0000 UTCSorry to be the downer in all of this. It’s fiction. So if KT wants Devlin to be the father, he’s the father. Lol. One day she’ll let us know, or not. I vote not as it keeps us all guessing.
CSH
2024-03-28 19:13:27 +0000 UTCAndrew, I agree she must get a powerful erotic thrill out of the possibility it's Devlin's. I mean, what would be a more potent way of humiliating Josh than that? Her sadistic side must have her gushing each time it crosses her mind.
Pete
2024-03-28 15:57:56 +0000 UTCThe problem is Devlin and Kimmy's link to him... and she is unable to abandon him. She is slowly crippling what remains of the love she seems desperate to reclaim, but has forgotten how. SHE is not even in charge of her self. Josh has not recovered from the Kamikaze penitence and is falling to pieces under his 'wife's' ministrations. Even Devlin is unmanned except for the power of the dick! The centre is held by the baby... and a desperate clinging to the wreckage of what is becoming for all of them MEANINGLESS sex and phatic communication: unless Devlin's kinky malice is meaningful. Josh has been sucked into the diabolical lovers' maelstrom of physical dissolution! My way of saying almost the same thing I suppose. Except I've never thought talk would have been any use. Successful communication requires a modicum of goodwill and common ground... Even then, talk is cheap and what's at stake for the Waters used to be priceless.
Bill F Protagoras
2024-03-28 09:44:11 +0000 UTCMaybe? We still don't have full details about the reunion. He got it in outside, but how far or how long they were in the bathroom...who knows? We know she struggled taking it, so no fucking. But did he let the tip stay in for a period of time?..
Chris K
2024-03-28 00:09:08 +0000 UTCThe main reason I ask is you were in your partner for a period of time and a considerable amount of pre-cum was produced. If you were doing a bit of edging then you would increase the chances of sperm being present. Now please correct me I recall that Devlin didn't have any prolonged insertion with Devlin before she went on BC. First time in the car was with a condom correct?
RCH
2024-03-27 23:25:30 +0000 UTCGlad to hear it worked out! Not an anti-abortion person but children can be a great joy, I'm in the grandpa phase of my life. My first born was a product of not caring about BC very much, We were married but didn't think it would happen so easily! Foolish youth!
RCH
2024-03-27 23:16:19 +0000 UTCCheck Andrew! Yes, we have no details on that.
RCH
2024-03-27 23:12:10 +0000 UTCWhat’s going to happen when Kimmy ruins Devlin? Devlin surly is not going to want to play with her again! Also how is her plan going to work? Is she going to quit her job and cry sexual harassment? The video must be some form of leverage!
Andrew Mellein
2024-03-27 22:04:11 +0000 UTCRCH I meant when she stroked off Devlin last chapter. And Kimmy made Devlin wear panties. It was hinted she did worse things! I wonder if next chapter it will be revealed what she did!
Andrew Mellein
2024-03-27 21:59:56 +0000 UTCMainly pullout. And yes, very welcome surprise. That was the second DNA test I took, the first one saved my ass, the second one was the best ever!
Chris K
2024-03-27 21:59:35 +0000 UTCThe difference between their types of love is hers runs to rhetorical flourishes that can become outright lies. His tries to establish staunch limits but raw need derides his own precaution and turns his heart into a Quisling... they both lie to themselves in their own way. Their love is a snug yet frail nest of mendacity. Neither of them can stop themself from lying.
Bill F Protagoras
2024-03-27 21:10:35 +0000 UTCChris, I have to ask you if your pre-cum accident. Was it a simple insertion and then withdraw or was it sex and withdraw just before ejaculation? Not to belittle your experience but here is how unlucky you were: "What's more, another 2016 study found actively mobile sperm in 16.7 per cent of participants’ pre-ejaculatory fluid. So based on the stats 'pulling out' is not a fail-safe method of contraception and if you want to avoid pregnancy" ‘Statistically, the failure rate of typical use of this method of contraception is up to 27 per cent', says Dr Welsh. 'This means that roughly 27 out of every 100 women using this method for a year will become unintentionally pregnant.’ Add to that that only 30-50% of fertilized eggs result in a pregnancy. So Kimmy has a possibility that Devlin is the father but it's low. Chris don't buy any lottery tickets and stay away from Vegas!!! Thank you, for sharing your experience!
RCH
2024-03-27 21:06:43 +0000 UTCFor me this is the story's lowest ebb up to now!
Bill F Protagoras
2024-03-27 20:41:33 +0000 UTCI think we do have some of the details of what she did with Devlin at Tiffany's. Wasn't that detailed in a previous book? All the other time were in the apartment and in the car with details?
RCH
2024-03-27 20:37:51 +0000 UTCYou are a very unlucky man! Unless the pregnancy was just a surprise but the child was welcome. Yes, I've known a number of couples using BC that have had surprise babies too. I'm talking the pill and also various barrier methods. Heard an ex girl friend get pregnant while using a diaphragm. She was always careful with me don't know what failed with that guy. When the wife and I still swung I had a condom fail, sweated that out till the other wife got her period. Her husband had been snipped. Yea Shit does happen.
RCH
2024-03-27 20:32:15 +0000 UTCI think it is possible for Josh to raise the kid because I think after everything Kimmy did he still loves her. However he doesn’t trust her and I don’t think he ever will. I also think the kid will be a constant reminder of Kimmys betrayal especially if it starts to look like Devlin! Also I bet next chapter will delve into what Kimmy exactly did with Devlin! All bets are off!
Andrew Mellein
2024-03-27 20:23:59 +0000 UTCWhen I call Kimmy a fool, I am not trying to demean her. I am thinking more of the Elizabethan or Jacobean fool. As, once again, I already presume you understand, C.
Bill F Protagoras
2024-03-27 20:13:54 +0000 UTCRCH. I myself have a child due to pre cum. Never ejaculated in my partner. 🤦. It is very likely. That said, I also know a women to have gotten pregnant while on birth control. Shit happens.
Chris K
2024-03-27 20:01:50 +0000 UTCPart of it also is that, at the moment, the kinks are the only thing either can rely on regarding the marriage. I said after last chapter they needed to talk to each other, but what did they do instead? Jumped right back into bed. They make attempts to talk, but just end up talking around each other. Kimmy is too worried about stepping on a "landmine" and that Josh will leave (she is literally, physically clinging on to him), and Josh can't get beyond the hurt and betrayal to really verbalize what is making him feel that way. This can't be solved with sex, but neither seems able to figure out another way of communicating at the moment.
JL23
2024-03-27 19:35:09 +0000 UTCThe problem is Devlin... Josh quite rightly reciprocates Devlin's bullying with personal antipathy that doesn't admit of a 'game' with him and Kimmy. Kimmy's inability to accept this has broken Josh to an extent she does not seem to be aware of... but an extent that I believe would end in unhappiness for the Waters. I think Kimmy is also broken perhaps in a more serious fashion... and both of them, particularly her, are emotionally marginalized in a way that requires behavioural changes and concessions that will speak louder than talk which is always a minefield of misunderstandings due to the intrinsic components of language and the mind. The philosophical theory that we can't regain a past state is paradoxical because language enables us to approximate past states and recapture feelings enough to comfort or discomfort us... At the moment, Kimmy has precipitated an unpropitious dynamic which requires an act of faith or exterior factors to improve or remedy matters. There is, however, no necessity that what we perceive as wrong or right should enter into the denouement of this tale as you are well aware. Aesthetically, what I would find most unrealistic would be a netorare iconic freeze frame, as unlikely as HEA, but if I want to be in control I should write my own bloody story!
Bill F Protagoras
2024-03-27 19:26:55 +0000 UTCAndrew and CSH: From a situational evaluation the baby is Josh's. The idea that Kimmy could get pregnant in the real world from Devlin just sticking it in is almost impossible. There is so few sperm cell in pre-cum and the PH of the vagina it near impossible. The danger from the withdraw method of BC is the failure to pull out in time. That first spurt is the most potent. I do agree that in the outside chance that it is Devlin's Josh will step up and stand by Kimmy and the baby. It's what a "Man" would do for the woman he loves. Now in DITW book 25 after little Damien is born Kimmy is going to want to get back into shape! The the old meeting the hung stud at the gym plot line it a bit worn. Now Devlin is gone maybe Kimmy is still at Stone, running things for Papa Stone. A trip to the Caymans again to meet with the Stone agent there? A hung island man? The old agent? Pregnancy was good to Kimmy adding some curves to her lean body? Bigger but slightly saggy boobs darker and longer nipples? Those little signs that she has proven herself as a fertile female ripe for the picking.
RCH
2024-03-27 19:13:48 +0000 UTCI think she genuinely loves Josh. She did what an uncountable number have done, sacrifice long term happiness for momentary lust. Kimmy is like a lot of cheating husbands who cant keep it in their pants and it cost their marriage. One possible viewpoint is that they both love an idealized view of the other. They can each see through those illusions now. Theres an old Jackson Browne lyric: “when you see through love’s illusions there lies the danger, then your perfect lover just looks like the perfect fool.” Kimmy sees Joshs faults and wants to keep him but she wants her lover, too. Josh wants the old kimmy back but still wants her to taunt him in the bedroom. Maybe neither is realistic.
CSH
2024-03-27 17:57:02 +0000 UTCThere is a plan in there somewhere. But let’s say they destroy Devlin. Kimmy now runs the company. I don't even think the baby is a problem. All through human history people have raised others kids, knowingly and unknowingly. But kimmy and Josh have been altered fundamentally as people and can’t possibly go back to who they were. Kimmy is addicted to her hung lover and Josh needs her to humiliate him with her infidelity.
CSH
2024-03-27 17:42:19 +0000 UTCIt’s a meaningful distinction. Still his sense of inadequacy has been magnified tremendously by his kink. Perhaps it’s more accurate to say that Josh now needs the kink to engage in sex with Kimmy. Even during “normal” sex he has to humiliate himself in his mind to complete the act.
CSH
2024-03-27 17:29:20 +0000 UTC"O UNEXPECTED stroke, worse than of death!" Kimmy was brought up on the Protestant work ethic, which may be why she worries that Josh will leave her for good (she never earned him)... but instead of doing what logic dictates she is walking the paved streets concentrating on not stepping on the cracks, and living off ephemeral orgasmic epiphanies while circumstance supplies plentiful hard dick... and whatever else she might be up to!

Bill F Protagoras
2024-03-27 16:57:50 +0000 UTCAnd Josh has made himself her fool by presuming he can win her love back, when she gave it away of her own free careless will... He is acting as though he lost it because he isn't as worthy of it as Devlin... the heavy irony of which would leave Coyote flat as a pancake... He should stand aside. She can go to him, if she needs him as much as she fears she does... As I said a long time ago... you can love more than one person at a time. But you don't have to... You can't force someone to love you... but they can learn for themselves to wish they had...
Bill F Protagoras
2024-03-27 16:38:04 +0000 UTCThe problem is the baby. But I can see a point somewhere down the line where Josh is raising Devlins baby! With Devlin not in the picture. I think Josh is hooked on Kimmy no matter how angered he is at her!
Andrew Mellein
2024-03-27 16:18:14 +0000 UTCKimmy is a fool...
Bill F Protagoras
2024-03-27 15:57:47 +0000 UTCGood observation all! I still think Kimmy is rallying the troops to fight the final battle. Josh is her PTSD reluctant solder in the up coming battle. In an earlier comment I said she is going to nuke Devlin and I stand by it. Remember she's been requested to meet with Mr. Stone Sr. and the company lawyer. Lets see what that's all about! I do believe Kimmy truly loves Josh and is trying to rid him of his Devlin phobia. Like a scene from Predator a mud/blood soaked Kimmy triumphantly holding aloft the skull, spine and pelvis stripe clean of all flesh except the large hanging mass of his lifeless sex organs. Or perhaps it's Josh? Josh needs a cure for his PTSD "The Chair" was a sign Devlin is just flesh and can be defeated. Josh leaving Kimmy is just him running away from Devlin. You see in his musings alone in his hotel room. He doesn't want Devlin to win Kimmy. He just needs to see that Devlin can't win Kimmy. Kimmy doesn't want Devlin, only his dick has any appeal! Josh needs to wake up! Kimmy has always wanted Josh. Yes, she was selfish in trying to have her cake and eat it too. Her love for Josh has never wavered. Fidelity is shit but never her love! There is also Amy that has manipulated things as well as Devlin.
RCH
2024-03-27 15:41:23 +0000 UTC“Except quit your job,” he said into his hands. She said, “That’s how I’m going to make it work.” Kimmy belongs to Brokerage and Josh is a man broken by her idea of love, if even she knows what that is. They look on each other and see what used to be, obstructed by the dangerous illusions of Devlin's infantilism... succumbing to it themselves...
Bill F Protagoras

If Kimmy's love is a curse... what made her cast it on him, if she loves debauchery, wickedness and sin so much why offload it onto him.
Bill F Protagoras
2024-03-27 15:13:21 +0000 UTC"But the shame filled the vacuum of lust’s absence." When Kimmy makes him view her through the mirror will Josh recognize himself as a successful Pavlovian experiment in animal conditioning with love and even spontaneous lust scooped out leaving him with nothing real and enduring?

2024-03-27 15:01:09 +0000 UTCMaybe she's conned me too, but I feel Kimmy is being genuine with Josh in this chapter. I do believe she would do just about anything to get back to their loving marriage, including a DNA test. But from a storyline perspective, it would be more dramatic if that's delayed or it shows that Devlin is the father. Now, the retort is she's willing to do "almost" anything, she's obviously not willing to stop with Devlin or quit the job. And that's where the tension lies as well, Kimmy feeling she understands what Josh wants better than Josh (and she may) and then whatever the plan is regarding revenge on Devlin.

2024-03-27 14:40:53 +0000 UTCMayne its semantics, but I don't think he needs the fantasy to keep an erection, he needs the fantasy to blunt out the other thoughts that are causing him to lose the erection. They were having sex and by all accounts weren't playing into the fantasy, and he was doing just fine, until his thoughts drifted to the idea that Kimmy is manipulating him into thinking she likes having sex with him. His inadequacies are around the idea that there's no way she really enjoys sex with him given how he's now seen what sex with Devlin looks like. Again, sex vs emotions; Kimmy can separate the two and Josh can't.

2024-03-27 14:37:00 +0000 UTCBecause Kimmy knows deep down that this baby is Devlins! She blew it off and pretends it’s Josh’s. But she secretly gets a thrill it’s Devlins!
Andrew Mellein
2024-03-27 13:59:27 +0000 UTCVery good points, Chris and JL. I didn't even think of that, and you're 100% right. She does seem to be pushing Hyun off, for now, rather than confiding in her, but a lot has happened in 2 days, and she's prioritizing the major fires she needs to put out. Love her or hate her, Kimmy is pretty damn good at disaster management. Even if the disaster is her fault and she only admits to it being her fault to Josh to placate him.
L_S87
2024-03-27 13:37:17 +0000 UTCI dont think there will ever be definitive proof of who is the father. Kimmy will fight any DNA testing as this would be definitive. She has no intention of getting the baby tested.

Bill F Protagoras
2024-03-27 13:05:10 +0000 UTC"Kimmy grunted, and the sound reminded him of a transmission changing gears, Kimmy knowing they were going for it now and they would be dirty instead of kind and loving. “Oh yeah,” she gasped. “Oh yes, Josh.” So there is no longer any doubt that she is literally calling all the shots now. Is this the Josh she wants now, an ersatz parody of role inversion? A new extra special insecure model of Josh... until he leaves her untender trap... the bed... the flat... town, country the isolationism of her voracious, sloppy society? Or does she own him now? And does Devlin by her graciousness and hospitality own him too. Who could trust her as far as they could throw her?
Bill F Protagoras
2024-03-27 12:58:02 +0000 UTC"He shook his head, but her urging brought potential whispers in his ears, things he could imagine she would say." Does it count when Josh humiliates himself? Where's the fun for Kimmy in that? Doesn't it take the man out of her manipulation equation?
Bill F Protagoras
2024-03-27 12:34:24 +0000 UTC"Like she was afraid he would flee again and go into hiding." Or maybe now she is too smug for concerns about a newly leased husband ( to wash her new car when he inevitably performs his share of domestic chores).
Bill F Protagoras
2024-03-27 12:27:33 +0000 UTC"Lies and betrayal; whispered compliments meant to manipulate." Where can Josh wring a drop of cordial joy from now without a foretaste of unrequited love...
Bill F Protagoras
2024-03-27 12:17:16 +0000 UTC"His cock was like iron thinking of her the way he’d seen her at The Hazelton. Just like she was now, but her guts being reamed by Devlin’s huge cock, her slick little pussy lips clinging to life on Devlin’s massive girth. And that knot in her belly; the head of Devlin’s cock so deep inside of her and making her squirt." So this like the length of Charlemagne's foot is now the standard measure of Kimmy's minimum satisfaction and Josh's self-imposed inadequacy.

2024-03-27 12:08:04 +0000 UTCAnticipating the advent of Kimmy, the Eagles produced something entirely appropriate - From “Witchy Woman”: Raven hair and ruby lips Sparks fly from her fingertips Echoed voices in the night She's a restless spirit on an endless flight . . . She held me spellbound in the night (woo-ooh) Dancing shadows and firelight . . . And especially this: Well, I know you want a lover, let me tell you, brother She's been sleeping in the Devil's bed And there's some rumors going 'round, someone's underground She can rock you in the nighttime 'til your skin turns red
Donkatsu
2024-03-27 11:14:26 +0000 UTCGreat set of observations in the two comments, C. I think the aspects of Kimmy's evil genius you cite, along with their effects on Josh, show why we probably need to take another look at the who/whom of Tiffany's party. If Kimmy was in the middle of her ovulation, and Josh was wiped-out drunk, given everything we know about her sex drive, she might well have been hormonally driven to Devlin, seducing him with taunts rather than vice-versa. Think Natasha Henstridge in "Species". P.S. agree with you about the way Kimmy continues to use sex and Josh's kink to control him - before, during, and after sex. For Josh to now believe that (1) he must be with Kimmy to be able to desire sex, and (2) only the Kimmy/Devlin kink will permit him to keep it up, represents a degree of power that Kimmy clearly understands and relishes.
Donkatsu
2024-03-27 10:54:39 +0000 UTCYep.

2024-03-27 10:42:34 +0000 UTCAll this anfractuous sexual diversion to drag a man, she had already captivated by licit means, down with her into a sordid middle class infernal nightmare... it appears that 'whatsername' is is fit to be tied
Bill F Protagoras
2024-03-27 09:43:48 +0000 UTC"Like a witness protection program for men who’d seen the worst and couldn’t face the consequences of bearing it." A brilliant metaphor of assumed identity... and Kimberly is the program.

2024-03-27 09:13:11 +0000 UTCAnd KT has done a wonderful job of showing that Josh now needs his fetish just to keep it up during sex. He is hopelessly addicted. Kimmy just spoon feeds him doses of his drug of choice. Their humiliation game seems now to have fully replaced their love as the tie that binds them together.
CSH
2024-03-27 09:08:39 +0000 UTCKimmy displays excellent manipulative technique. Offer the DNA test as a challenge to Josh. Shows her seemingly genuine belief the baby is his while putting the burden of decision on Josh. Shes calculating Josh wont have the balls to take her up on the offer cause he is afraid to face the consequences of finding out it’s Devlin’s child. I agree she will outline a plan to manipulate Devlin but the genius of all this is that it works for her whether her intent is to side with Josh or side with Devlin, Effectively neither can know whether shes being genuine or not. Also, she sets up scenarios where Devlin can humiliate Josh possibly with the truth while Josh goes along under the pretense that they are playing with Devlin. It might eventually even end up eroticizing the pregnancy for Josh.
CSH
2024-03-27 08:58:29 +0000 UTCThe slate that was the Waters has been wiped clean and each is as unmade as the other... a hidden agenda and an unknown child and perhaps a woman remaking language are the frayed threads that hold them.

2024-03-27 08:42:03 +0000 UTCGreat chapter. These two are so broken. I actually felt badly for both of them. It’s going to come down to the baby. I can’t see any other reason how she could bring Josh back with her. He doesn’t trust her, and without trust he won’t survive with her. I do wonder why he didn’t ask her where she was at lunch, but maybe he’s logging that one while he stalks her. I don’t blame him, though. I’m dying to find out how she’s using her pregnancy with Devlin, and why she told Josh.
Kat
2024-03-27 04:06:18 +0000 UTCYeah, the last 2 1/2 books have taken place over 2 days. The hotel encounter with Devlin was on a Monday and we’ve only advanced to the following night at this point. We’ve really packed a lot into 2 days.
JL23
2024-03-27 03:27:48 +0000 UTCThat's because Josh doesn't think he'll never satisfy Kimmy again after seeing her with Devlin at the Hazelton. Plus she lied and betrayed him. And the kid might not be his. And you know she is thinking of Devlin stroking him off, that's why she is so wet! But everything is good to Kimmy: "They are a team" (LOL!)
Andrew Mellein
2024-03-27 02:55:17 +0000 UTCI could be wrong, but to us it feels like she's been gone a while, but if you think about the timeline since the start of book 12 I think it has been less than w week since she saw Hyun last. When they went dildo shopping. We've just been in close quarters with Josh and Kimmy...working shit out.
Chris K
2024-03-27 02:46:37 +0000 UTCBoth of you are right. Odd indeed. I was really hoping for something different. I guess I just feel like these two share no sexual chemistry anymore. It's almost sad, regardless of whatever love they still hold for each other.
Chris K
2024-03-27 02:21:30 +0000 UTCThat's the rub, right? Their issue, while Devlin is brought up constantly, is less him and more the complete lack of trust Josh has in her. They don't survive if that trust remains shattered. And Kimmy is wholly incapable of remanding their relationship because she lives and breathes being an emotional grifter. The whole truth and nothing but the truth is anathema to her presence.
L_S87
2024-03-27 02:09:38 +0000 UTCHyun disappearing is disappointing to me, but I think that may be on purpose. Kjmmy giving her some heart emojis in text and little else last chapter I think is meant to point out that Kimmy's attachment to her is tenuous. She cares about Hyun, but she's not important, not like Josh and Devlin and her job are. The lack of confiding further in Hyun probably points to that relationship serving a purpose for Kimmy, and that purpose isn't necessary right now. Of course, that doesn't change the fact that their relationship occurred and Kimmy has adamantly kept that from Josh while professing to want only the truth between them. Kimmy wouldn't know what the truth was if it bit her in the ass.
L_S87
2024-03-27 02:05:44 +0000 UTCYeah, that's why I said this felt a bit odd. His understanding of where she was at, because there's only one reason she turns tracking off, and the fact that he just lets that go is weird, given he's not let *anything* else go in this whole confrontation between them. Hopefully we get an explanation for that. I can see some reasons why he might hold it back for later, as a weapon, but we'll just have to see, because it's not really been in Josh's nature to do that.
L_S87
2024-03-27 01:59:48 +0000 UTCYes, Hyun disappeared from this series. I wonder if Hyun eventually spills the beans to Meyer! Not their sex stuff but all the stuff about Kimmy cheating on Josh and Devlin possibly being the father!
Andrew Mellein
2024-03-27 00:30:59 +0000 UTCI predict the end of the book is going to end on a cliffhanger with Josh finding out that he is not the father in the DNA results! But that's after Kimmy pretty much ruins Devlin!
Andrew Mellein
2024-03-27 00:27:12 +0000 UTCGlaucon indeed!
Andrew Mellein
2024-03-27 00:24:53 +0000 UTCI think the baby is going to turn out to be Devlin's too! And I am already dreading the chapter. It will feel like when Jess told Pete she wants a divorce! I wonder if it reached that point would Kimmy consider getting a abortion like Josh suggested. I kind of doubt she would. And I think that would be the end of their marriage! I don't think Josh wants Devlin anywhere in their lives after all this! And I don't think he wants to raise his brat! The spawn of Satan!
Andrew Mellein
2024-03-27 00:22:27 +0000 UTCIt's got to suck not being able to accept a touch or a meal from your spouse, without worrying what the price will be attached to it. She broke him into pieces...
Chris K
2024-03-27 00:14:17 +0000 UTCJosh lost a step in this chapter. What happened in the previous chapter when he was going to confront Kimmy about being at Devlin's again during her lunchbreak! Surely he would be more worried than just Kimmy telling Devlin he's the father! He would think she did more sex! I still believe the baby is going to turn out to be Devlin's no matter how much hope Kimmy has! This grand plan to destroy Devlin and get revenge is going to come to bite her in the end. In fact the title of this book is Pandemonium what better way for Kimmy's sins to come back to bite her then that! I wonder if Kimmy would consider an abortion if she gets the DNA results and it turns out to be Devlin's? I don't think so and I think she would try to gaslight Josh into raising it!

2024-03-26 23:57:10 +0000 UTCI think she thinks she's on the level, for whatever that might be worth. But she lies to herself as much as she does anybody else.
Glaucon
2024-03-26 23:56:22 +0000 UTCOh and we can't forget amid all this apparent contrition and honesty she's still holding onto her cheating with Hyun. As the omniscient reader how can we take her apologies seriously?
Glaucon
2024-03-26 23:53:45 +0000 UTCWhat a great show of Kimmy's evil genius in action. None of us, especially Josh, really knows whether she is on the level about anything: her 'love' for Josh, her disdain of Devlin, her 'plot' to ruin Devlin, who's the daddy, the DNA test results (surely, those can be customized for a price, and don't call me "Shirley").
Donkatsu
2024-03-26 23:45:40 +0000 UTCHmm. No surprise Josh capitulated, he basically made that decision the instant he chose to leave the hotel. No surprise either he has regrets the instant sex is over. Though I think Kimmy takes this as a pretty big win. Went from "You're the enemy" to "let's still have sex". A bit disappointed that he went from being so adamant in the last book to fairly wishy-washy in this one. Feels a bit off. Not sure what created that change. I do find it interesting that Kimmy keeps using this dual tactic of consolation mixed with a bit of truth while hiding the rest. Admitting she told Devlin it was his was a *very* bold move, yet she smartly kept back the hand job, learning from her prior mistake of mixing pregnancy talk with sex talk. As much as we know her inner succubus wants to tell Josh about that, show him the video, she knows how that plays out, and it's not in her favor. No, she gives him a little bit of carrot so he gets upset and asks questions without getting so angry he leaves. Now she can explain her plan. Or at least the parts she's willing to share, because we know it will be half truths and manipulation, just like the sex and the dumplings. For me the question is this: Is her promise to take a DNA test as hollow as her promise to quit her job, or her promise to only tell him the truth? Both promises made and both promises broken. The test is meaningless without Josh's trust. And she doesn't have that. And may never have it.
L_S87
2024-03-26 23:35:46 +0000 UTCSo, if we assume Kimmy is 100% on the level here with Josh, that she doesn’t have some dark plan with Devlin to get Josh thinking she’s on his side, only to pull the rug out on him (I don’t believe she is…but you can see where he’d fear it), we got a bare bones outline of her “plot” against Devlin. When she says she told about the baby to “hurt him,” I interpret that as she needs Devlin to think he’s the father, and to think they’re working together to manipulate Josh, in order to get things she wants from him. Which is where her comment on using the job to “make it work” comes in. Why she asked for a car, why she’ll probably ask for things like a raise etc. Essentially, making Devlin think she gave him the biggest humiliation over Josh his little pea brain could comprehend, so he’ll give her everything to set the family up financially. Then pull the rug out on HIM by telling him the actual truth. Well maybe the truth. I wonder if the baby turns out to be Devlin’s anyway, if she just tries desperately to convince Josh it doesn’t matter and to go along with the plan to ultimately tell Devlin it isn’t his. I think she absolutely would, question is whether Josh would be invested enough at that point into being with her and being a father that he’d go along. In that sense, maybe she should delay the DNA test. Of course, that would be manipulative, and maybe she’s manipulating me (damn she’s evil!) but I believe she’s being truly genuine here. She told Josh about what she told Devlin, and we know she wants to show Josh that video really, really badly. And though she doesn’t know it yet (well…again maybe she doesn’t), whatever Sr is going to tell her may provide another angle to her ruin Devlin plan. Assuming that’s her plan. I really hope it’s her plan lol.
JL23
2024-03-26 23:31:20 +0000 UTCIt's kind of wild that she doesn't seem to understand how much something like a DNA test would help her case (assuming it's Josh's). Which of course leaves open the obvious implication that she simply doesn't know and is repeating it as an article of faith, maybe trying to get Josh to eventually accept it on faith as well. I have a growing suspicion that she's setting up a scenario where she wins Josh back but he never truly gets absolute proof that it's his.
Glaucon
2024-03-26 23:27:57 +0000 UTCNice surprise to get this. We may get Kimmy’s plan in the next chapter. I’d get the DNA test though.
