Daniel was starting to get annoyed, and so he blurted out the truth.

“Amy bit me."

The woman stopped her massage. “Amy. She bit you. Right there."

Daniel realised his mistake. He should have kept his mouth shut. He elected to say nothing more.

The woman wasn't done. "That's not just any bite. That's a lover's bite." She released him. "Stand up," she ordered.

Daniel heard the tone and pushed himself up until he was standing in front of the woman. She looked over his front, noticing the scratches.

His cock was red from overuse.

“Turn around."

He turned, and he felt her examining his back with her eyes.

"Your back is scratched. Pretty badly. And your ass cheeks. Were you with Amy last night? Is that who you came in reeking of?"

Daniel turned and looked at her. The woman didn't look angry. Just upset. He nodded.

The woman held a hand to her mouth to cover her shock. "She slept with you last night? After everything that happened? She hated you!

Talked about you all the time. We used to tease her about it. We said she secretly wanted you. That would make her so furious."

Daniel realised something. "You're one of her girlfriends, aren't you?

One of the crazy cun..." He stopped the last word.

Her eyes grew wide. "No! She would never tell you that! How could she!" The woman fled the room crying. Daniel wanted to chase after her, but he was standing in a tub naked with shampoo in his hair.

“Dammit. Fuck, fuck, fuck."

He sank into the tub and rinsed the shampoo out of his hair. He got out of the tub and was drying himself when he heard his door open.

He looked over, and the girl was back. He looked for a knife and then saw she had been crying.

“Tell me why," she demanded. "I need to know why."

Daniel sighed. "She came to me to do me harm. In my room at the inn.

The, ah, cheap inn. Last might. She found me naked in the room and we talked, and one thing led to another. That's all."

The woman looked up at him, with her eyes swimming in tears.

"She talked about her girlfriends. And about how much you mean to her. She's not abandoning you for me. It's over between us. It was a hate fuck, I think."
