"And you know I turned tricks for a while when things got really desperate," he went on. "And it wasn't awful, since most people know how to listen to the word 'no'."
"But there's always that one guy, or we wouldn't be having this conversation," he continued. "I asked him what he wanted, he said he wanted to kind of...push me around some, and I told him, no blood, and no hands on my neck."
He swallowed roughly, tracing one finger over the hollow of his throat, almost without thinking about it. "And it was fine for a bit, and then he put his thumb here." He pointed to one of his pulse points. "And kind of...dug his fingers into the side of my neck. So I pulled his hand off, and like...about a minute later, it's back, and he's squeezing harder."
"I started to panic a little, and I tried to push him off, but he was bigger than me. So I kicked him in the balls, and he punched me in the face." He touched the tip of his nose gingerly. "Fucker almost broke my nose."
"And while I was out today, there was this lady outside a restaurant, and she tried to put this fake lei around my neck, and I freaked out at her. Got a cab, came home, and JJ found me."
