You have to get past the pleasure stage, until you reach the stage of tears. O was forced to move to the head of the bed, where he made her lie down. After that you're on your own, and will have dealings only with the men. Then he sat down near O, pulled her back down onto the bed and kissed her. He did not help her up until he had taken his pleasure with her.
