The banging of the headboard next door was getting even louder. If she’d known what shaggers Tara and Tim were, she would never have moved here in the first place. The noise reached a hammering crescendo, there was a single wail, and then it all fell silent. Saffron knew it was a brief respite – they’d be at it again within ten minutes. Lying awake every night listening to Tara and Tim’s carnal habits had made Saffron think, amongst other things, about her own love life. She had never gone without sex for this long before. Saffron thought she’d have been gagging for it by now, but strangely, she wasn’t that bothered. A lanky, naked figure appeared in the living room doorway. ‘Are you asleep, Saffron?’ ‘No such luck,’ she sighed. Tim moved closer. ‘I say, Tara and I were wondering. Do you fancy a threesome?’ He said it so casually he could have been asking if she wanted one sugar in her tea or two. Tim had a spotty back and the beginnings of nostril hair. Saffron rolled her eyes in the darkness.
