The Gold Star

Gia and Alex are curled up under a blanket on Alex’s couch. No one in this backwater town knows they’ve been together for almost two years. Gia’s engaged to Gabriel, the town’s golden-boy deputy mayor and the man who knocked her up. Alex keeps scrolling real-estate listings back east while Gia drifts through a baby-name book. Alex finally snaps the laptop shut and asks about callbacks. Gia says it’s still early, but she’s mailed every form the way Alex wanted. Alex smiles, promises to marry her the second they hit Virginia, then the girls lean in for a long kiss. A call from Gabriel kills the mood. Gia folds like always and leaves. Days drag by with no answer on Gia’s phone. Alex drives out to Gabriel’s place, spots him in the driveway holding Gia’s phone, and gets threatened off the property. That night she wakes up soaked, heart hammering, and an idea hits her. Hours later, she slips into Gabriel’s dark bedroom while he’s asleep. She strips, cuffs his wrists to the headboard, slides the blindfold over his eyes, and climbs on top. He thinks it’s his fiancée and starts barking orders. Alex grinds on his dick, takes every nasty direction he spits out, snaps pictures the whole time, and rides him until he shoots all over her face. When she pulls the blindfold off, his face goes white. Alex shows him the photos, tells him she and Gia are gone for good, and says the press will tear him apart if he ever comes looking. She drops the cuff key, dials 911, and walks out while he thrashes and begs. Outside, Gia waits in the car. Alex jumps in, kisses her hard, and they disappear down the dark road.
