Overall, I enjoyed the update. I liked the sex scenes between Monica and Ashley since they added alot to Monica's character development. So far the only 2 experiences she's had with orgasms were with women, and both in more or less forced contexts. Wonder whether the author is going the route of Monica realizing she's a lesbian (which at least would somewhat explain her aversion to sex whenever men are involved, including her husband). Would also be pretty funny considering her disdain for homosexuals. Her fear of her own orgasm is also a nice example of the tension in her character that makes her so interesting, the mix between ice cold sociopath bitch and clueless little girl.
I'm also interested in which direction the scenes with Julia will develop. I hope Fred's end goal isnt just getting a threesome with them.
The main storyline could have progressed a bit more, for my taste. We still dont know whether we can trust a single word Melanie says, and havent really learned more about Marcus either. The one thing that seems to be certain is that Melanie is in fact at the mercy of Marcus now, or she would have never allowed Veronica to degrade her so severely.
