Here I was, sweating again. The intro to some late night talk show had just rolled when Pam walked through the front doors of the gym and checked in. She smiled and waved at me from the counter, and I smiled and tipped my water bottle back at her as she walked into the dressing rooms. I was pedalling furiously on one of the stationary bikes and the eleven o’clock news had just finished its broadcast. I’d been watching on one of the televsion sets mounted to the ceiling in front of me, waiting for some word on the disappearance of three local women this last month, and for a mention of a trial date for accused rapist Marvin “Marv†Caruthers, an old art teacher of mine who had recently become internationally famous. The same weekend the three women went missing, Mar

v had tried to use that fame to rape my former sister-in-law. I just got back into town after my little trip with Laura (my ex-sister-in-law), maybe a week ago. The two of us had taken a weekend trip to a summer art festival, where Marv was the guest of honor. Truth be told, the only reason I went with her on the trip was to satisfy a long time urge to fuck her silly myself. And when I realized that probably wasn’t going to happen, I had to satisfy myself with attacking three women I knew, who were just down there to blow off some steam at their little annual reunion. I knew them from work - Jill, Linda and another Laura. Each of them were regular customers at one of my stores. They were all in their early forties and darn attractive. By the time we hooked up at a carnival beer garden, they were already drunk, hot and horny. And I was frustrated as hell at Laura and Marv, who were acting as if they’d arranged the weekend as a little get-together for themselves. So, after an uncomfortable dinner with Marv and Laura, we dropped Marv off in the hotel parking lot, and I walked Laura back to her room, expecting to get involved in a little hanky-panky. But she seemed to blow me off, and then I met Marv as he was sneaking up the stairs to Laura’s room with a bottle of wine and an amorous twinkle in his eyes. Instead of dumping Marv headfirst off the balcony, I decided to take my frustrations out on the three drunk ladies instead. I should stop right here and explain a couple things. A year or two ago I was wandering around in Laura’s home, peeking into her private life. At the time I was married to a woman named Jennifer - Laura’s sister-in-law. I was in the bathroom, busy taking a leak, when Laura walked in and proceded to strip naked, hop into the bathtub and masturbate, right in front of me. And she never knew I was in the room. I discovered something new about myself that afternoon, while I was jacking off into her bathwater. Later that night, Laura and her husband Ken (Jennifer’s brother) threw a house-warming party. Laura made a drunken pass at me, and I took a rain check in order to test out my new-found power on someone else. I ended up raping one of the party-goers, a woman named Lisa, in the same bathroom I’d watched Laura bathe in earlier that afternoon. I can’t tell you how much fun it was. I’ve always had a dark fantasy life, sexually speaking, but that was the first time I’d ever acted on any sort of impulse - with an unwilling partner. And that was the first time my power manifested itself in a really visible, in-your-face sort of way. An awakening in some respects. Along the way, I divorced Jennifer, picked up a few sex-slaves, and underwent some rather baffling physical changes. Suddenly, in my thirties, I’ve had a growth spurt of five or six inches (and not just to my height), lost some weight, grew back some hair, and now I feel better than I have since my early twenties. And I’ve slowly discovered more disturbing elements to my new-found abilities. I still have very little control over what happens with my power. But I do know that, generally speaking, its manifestations run hand-in-hand with whatever kind of sexual situation I find myself in. And more and more, the sex I like is brutal and twisted. I see a woman - literally, almost any woman, young or old - I see a fuck toy. Something to be used, and then thrown away. Case in point: the three ladies from the beer garden. When I left the hotel I wandered back to the carnival (which was closing for the night), and ran into a couple old cronies: two on-the-lam hispanics named Jose and Freddy, who had raped an old sexpot waitress with me the night I took my first slave. They were working as carnies now, and we talked about my plans for the evening. And they were interested in joining in on my night of fun. Just a few minutes later I met up with the ladies, who had sobered up a bit, and they took me back to their little rented bungalow. The night didn’t turn out to be quite what they expected. I fucked them, and then tied them up like presents on Christmas morning for the festivities to follow. My two buddies and about thirty of their greasy, horny, ex-con co-workers followed us to the bungalow and rang the doorbell just as I was blowing my load into Jill. Tonight on the news the ladies were officially declared as missing persons. The police presume foul play, but currently have few leads and no suspects. Poor ladies. Their families look so sad. I’ve been thinking about them. Their families. I’ll get around to...comforting...Jill’s teenage daughters sometime soon. Maybe in the fall, when they go back to school. Catholic schoolgirls. Yummy. And I can’t forget poor Marv. Marv, Marv, Marv. The fact that he’s going to prison for just trying to bone Laura (well, and attacking umpteen other women, one of whom he drugged and raped after fucking up with Laura) - when I committed a much, much worse crime - should bother me, I think. But it doesn’t. The fact that I didn’t get to screw Laura - my fucking sister-in-law! - again bugs me more. Strange. Which is why I’m here at the gym, sweating and wondering about the deviant change to my nature, instead of being home and asleep in my nice, cool, air-conditioned bedroom, or home, busy fucking one of my three live-in slaves in the ass. There I go again. Now, see, this is what I’m talking about. Not a thought runs through my head these days without turning foul and crass. “Hi Matt.†Pam startled me. I was so lost in thought, I hadn’t seen her walk out of the dressing rooms. “Hey there.†She smiled down at me and pointed to the treadmill next to my bike. “Mind if I join you?†she asked. Other than the savagely tan, super-fit employee manning the counter, the gym was pretty empty. In a room behind us, a couple guys were on the basketball court shooting hoops, playing one-on-one, there was one other guy using the bikes in the aerobic area, and a handful of serious steroid freaks in the weight room. So Pam could use any one of a dozen vacant treadmills. I grinned and shrugged. “Sure.†Pam stepped onto the treadmill and started it up. She’d changed into a pair of black and yellow lycra running shorts and a matching sport bra, and her running shoes looked brand new. The treadmill was on my right. Pam jogged in place just in front of me. The recumbant bike I was riding was low and parallel to the floor, so I had a nice view of her ass as she ran. She was in her mid-to-late forties and was darn attractive. At some point, I’d developed an irresistable urge to fuck older women. Pam was just at my perfect age. I knew her because she used to work for my company, although she’d already turned in her notice and quit right before I took over ownership. But she and her family - her husband and three daughters - were still regular customers of mine. Like the three ladies I’d fucked at the carnival. Pam had really short, frosted blonde hair, nice green eyes, and a warm smile with full lips and even, white teeth. She wore little gold hoop earrings that bounced around as she ran. She wasn’t in bad shape at all - a little poochy in the lower stomach, a little thick in the legs, maybe. But she looked pretty damn good for an older bitch who’d spit out three kids. In fact, her body reminded me a lot of Laura’s: big - no, make that huge - tits, with a little waist that curved into nice wide hips and a big, juicy ass. From where I sat, I couldn’t see any stretch marks on her stomach or her back. BIG plus. My penis thought so too, and started crawling out of the top of my sweats. Here we go, I thought. And then my dick took over. A very clear image popped into my head as I watched Pam’s tits bounce up and down; of me yanking down her shorts, bending her roughly over the treadmill control panel and shoving my dick in her ass as hard as I could. No sooner had the thought entered my head when Pam moaned and stumbled on the treadmill. She grabbed the crossbar in front of her and got her rhythm back, then her head whipped around in my direction. I was busy watching some stupid woman on television, eating pie without using her hands, trying to win a mug with a picture of the shows’ host on it. I looked over at Pam and gave her a dazzling smile, and she shook her head and smiled back at me. I returned my attention to the show, but caught Pam staring at my crotch before she turned around again. When the clock on the bike told me I’d been pedalling for an hour, I stood up and decided to hit the free weights. “Have fun,†I told Pam as I wobbled by and patted her hand. She gave me a weak grin and nodded. I was going to work on my legs, but after seeing Pam I changed my mind. I still wanted to get a good workout but my legs were already rubbery from the bike, and I wanted to be able to stand and move around without feeling like I was going to keel over later. So I stretched a bit, then decided to work my chest instead. I could feel her eyes on me as I piled weights onto a bar and started to bench press. The little fantasies came in spurts as I worked out. I was almost done with my bench sets and was now fantasizing about Pam sitting on top of me - naked except for her bra, which had been pulled down under her breasts - and she was riding me hard. In my fantasy everything was dark, but I could see the ceiling of a room above us. Pam’s eyes were closed tight and she had a look of utter terror mixed with intense lust on her face. Her hands were braced on my chest, and she licked her lips with quick flicks of her tongue as she ground her pussy around on my dick. I slapped her cheek and she stopped moving suddenly, moaned, and her head snapped back. I swore I could feel her fingernails digging into my chest, her warm pussy clamping around my dick, and a sloppy, wet jet of her cum squirting over my crotch as she rode an intense orgasm. Across the room, Pam cried out. It was a long, low moan - just like in my fantasy. She fell off the treadmill and sat, stunned, for a second. Then she jumped up and bolted for the dressing rooms as I plopped my weights back into the racks with a clank. One of the steroid-freaks, busy posing in the mirrors close by me, grunted. “Stupid bitch. Probably forgot to shove a tampon in her snatch before she came out.†He went back to his private pose-off, tensing his calves over and over. I laughed at his funny ha-ha, massaged my triceps, then grabbed a pair of dumbells and started work on my delts. With Pam gone, the rest of my workout went pretty quickly. No more fantasies. I hadn’t seen her leave yet, so she might still be around. I thought about waiting for her for a few minutes, but then I smelled my armpits and said fuck it. I wanted a shower. So I wandered into the mens dressing rooms, only to find the showers roped off for cleaning. Some tiny asian guy waved me away and yelled “Twenty minutes!†over the deafening roar pouring out of his Walkman’s headphones. “Dammit,†I muttered, and made a bee-line for my locker. No way was I going to sit in my soaking-wet sweats for another twenty minutes. One of my slaves - Shelly - was home tonight. If I left now I could make it home in half that time and enjoy a nice blow-job from Shelly while I showered. So I popped my lock, grabbed my bag and my keys, and marched out into the lobby. I looked around for Pam, kind of hoping I might not have missed her. Steroid boy was in the back of the gym with a spotter, doing set-after-set of squats with about five hundred pounds bent over his shoulders. But that was it. No Pam. “Are you looking for somebody?†The hardbody at the counter gave me a big, toothy smile as she pulled her hair into a long ponytail. She was cute, with the long, lanky body of a runner. I gave her a smile back. “Yeah, I guess. My friend - the woman who was on the treadmill a bit ago? I just wanted to make sure she was okay.†She nodded. “Oh, right. Pam.†She pointed to the doors. “You just missed her.†I left the gym and beeped my keypad, unlocking my BMW, when somebody behind me cleared their throat. I spun around and found Pam grinning sheepishly at me, showered and dressed in a white t-shirt, tan walking shorts and brown leather sandals. A big bag was slung over one shoulder. “Hi.†I grinned. She glanced at the ground and shuffled her feet. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you, I, uh...†I tried to catch her eye. “Are you okay?†I asked. “You kinda ran out of the gym like you just ate at Taco Bell and had to run for the border.†She looked up at me like I was an idiot. So much for a stab at juvenile humor. “I just got a little...dizzy.†She closed her eyes and ran her hands through her damp hair. I used the opportunity to stare at her boobs. I spied a nice, flowery white bra underneath the thin cotton of her t-shirt. I managed to avert my eyes when she sighed and opened hers. “I was hoping you wouldn’t mind giving me a ride home.†That took me by surprise. “Seriously?†She blinked and nodded her head a little, and said, “Um. Yes?†“Didn’t you drive here?†She laughed. Finally. I didn’t mind, even if I had to play stupid to get it. It was a nice, hearty laugh, and it made her boobs bounce a little. I had trouble pretending not to notice. “No, no. I walked.†“Walked to the gym.†“Yep.†“I’ve never heard of such a thing.†She laughed again. “It’s true.†“Will wonders never cease.†She looked around at the deserted parking lot. The gym was located in a strip mall that was nestled into a little business district at least a mile or so away from the closest homes. If Pam lived anywhere near me, she was looking at long walk home, alone, late at night. Kinda scary. My heart went out to her. Maybe I should give her a ride home, I thought. I haven’t had any excitement for a while. The familiar buzzing at the back of my neck started just before I replied, and I felt my power flow out of me, into Pam. She shivered and rubbed her arms. I could see the goosepimples popping up on her forearms. “Tell you what, Pam,†I said. “I’ll give you a ride if you strip down to your underwear and suck my dick on the way.†Her mouth popped open and she blinked at me in surprise. I opened the door to the back seat of my car and tossed my gymbag inside. “Excuse me? What...what did you say to me?†I looked at her like I had no idea what she was talking about. Pure innocence. “What do you mean?†Her mouth moved a little before she answered. “I... I could’ve sworn you asked me to...†She shook her head again and opened the passenger door. She sat down, and I slipped inside next to her and started the car. “Nevermind,†she smiled like it was no big deal. “I appreciate the ride.†The stereo turned on and Pam clicked her seat belt in place and primly crossed her legs. I turned the volume down so we could just hear the music and pulled out of the parking lot. Pam looked uncomfortable, like she’d just made a big mistake. She had no idea. “Which way am I going?†I asked. “Oh...uh, right,†she pointed to a stoplight down the street. “Sorry. Then a left at the light.†“Would it be easier to take the freeway?†I pointed at the freeway sign mounted up by the streetlights. “We could jump on the entrance down by the train tracks. The next exit lets us off right by my store.†I glanced over at her. “That’s pretty close to your house, isn’t it?†She nodded at me. “I suppose, if you want to.†Oh boy. The cold shoulder. This could be a long ride, if she decided not to talk. So I asked about her daughters, and after a few friendly questions, she warmed right up again. Pam told me that her oldest daughter, Kim, was getting married in a week and she was completely stressed out. Which is why she’d come to the gym tonight; to burn off some of that pent-up anxiety. “And besides,†she admitted, sheepishly, “I want to fit in my new dress.†I gave her a quick smile, careful to look her right in the eyes. “You don’t need to worry about that. I think you look great.†She blushed and turned away, but I could see her reflection in the window. For my efforts, I just got a BIG grin. With a little more prodding, Pam got so busy telling me about all the wedding arrangements and the problems they’d been having that she didn’t notice when I turned off the main road leading to the freeway ramp, and instead followed an old, bumpy road down to an old, abandoned warehouse, hidden from view by a thirty-foot concrete wall on one side of the freeway, and three hundred yards of overgrown trees and brush on the other. She stopped talking and held on for dear life when we hit the gravel road that ran around the warehouse. The car started bouncing like a ping-pong ball. I managed to drive around to the loading dock without snapping an axle, then I stopped the car and killed the engine. “Wh-why are we here?†Pam looked around wide-eyed, one hand braced on the car console, the other wrapped tightly around the ‘oh-shit’ handle above her window. The warehouse belonged to one of my slaves. She inherited it from her father after he and her brother died in a car ‘accident’. A friend of mine had recently been using it to film illegal porn, but I knew nobody would be around tonight and the location was private as you could get in the middle of the city, so I figured we wouldn’t be distrurbed. I didn’t have any solid plans for the rest of the night, but I was pretty sure at this point that Pam wasn’t going to make it home anytime soon. So here we were. Outside, it was nice and dark. The roar of the freeway just a few hundred feet away drowned out any sounds we - she - might make. Time was waistin’, and my dick was screaming at me to get on with the action. So I popped our seatbelts. Pam flinched as hers whipped by her head and smacked into the window. I let my power juice up, just a tiny bit. I wanted her to be aware and scared of what was happening, but I didn’t want much of a fight from her tonight, either. “I told you I’d give you a ride as long as you stripped down to your skivvies and sucked my dick. I kept my part of the deal - now it’s time to keep yours.†I scootched up against the back of my seat and slipped my sweats and my underpants down around my knees. Pam backed as far into her seat as she could, quick, both of her hands up, waving around like she was trying to ward me off. “Oh...God. Matt, please, put your pants... back... on...†My dick had been at half-mast since we left the parking lot, and now it fell out of my pants and onto my leg with a meaty slap. She got one look at my cock and her hand flew to her mouth. It wasn’t even close to being erect yet, but it was still almost as long as her forearm, and easily as thick. “Go ahead, touch it.†She shook her head frantically, holding out her hand as if to ward my penis away. I grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her closer to me, then wrapped her hand around my cock. She squeezed her eyes shut and turned her head, but her fingers clamped tight around me. I moved her arm back and forth slowly, making her stroke me. She tried to beg. “Matt, please...†So I hit her. Her head snapped back, but she kept her grip on my dick. “Good girl. Now take off your fucking shirt,†I hissed. “And don’t you dare let go of my cock, or I’ll hit you again. Do you understand me?†Pam nodded, sniffling back tears. She hunched over and used one hand to pull off her t-shirt, until it hung around her other wrist. “Now your shorts. Sandals, too.†She kept her face averted and struggled a little, but managed to unbutton her shorts and kick them off. She hooked her sandals with her toes, and then she was just how I wanted her. “Sit up straight,†I ordered. I pulled the straps of her bra down over her shoulders until the flowery cups fell down just under her round, pink nipples. Wow. My dick shot straight out at her. She jumped a little, and looked down at it despite herself. “Hold it up with both hands. Look at it.†She had to lean over the gearshift to do it, and I spread my legs to help. “Grab it right at the base. Yeah. That’s a good bitch.†Pam had both her hands wrapped around my cock, pointing it straight at her face. The tip of my dick rubbed her neck, right under her chin. She tried to hold her breath and keep her head up. She looked like a drowning woman, trying to keep her head above water. I laughed at her and smacked her face again. “Mouth it. I want to feel it go all the way down. I want to see it bulging in your throat.†She started shaking her head, sputtering that it was too big. So I hit her again, harder. Blood trickled down her chin from her cut lip. I grabbed a handful of her hair and forced her to look at me. “You never, never say no to me again, you fucking bitch. Do you understand me?†I shook her hard enough to make her cry. “From now on, you do whatever I tell you, or you’re a dead bitch.†“Oh-h-h-h Go-o-o-d-dd! Please...!†“You think I’m kidding? Think about it. How easy was it for me to get you here? How easy was it for me to make you take off your clothes? Huh, bitch?†I shook her until her tits jiggled. “Now open your mouth and suck my fucking dick!†I rammed her face down on my cock. She screamed and gurgled, then I pulled her back up by her hair and rammed her head back down, once, twice, three times, until she was kicking and frantically grabbing at my arm. I held her there, enjoying the warm, comfortable feeling of her mouth on me, her neck constricting around my penis. I counted to twenty, slowly, then let her up for air. Pam coughed and spit, gagging and gasping for breath. “Can you suck me like a big girl now?†I asked, not unreasonably. She nodded, wiping off the thick, wet cobwebs of spit dangling from her chin. “Oh-okay. Okay. Please don’t do that again, Matt. Please.†I pointed and gave her head a little shove back in the direction of my penis. “Suck. It. Good.†She paled a little more and braced herself with her hands on my legs. “I want the best fucking blowjob you’ve ever given anyone. Ever. And you better not stop unless I tell you. Understand?†“I... I understand.†Pam bent over, took a deep breath, and for the next five minutes, I was in heaven. She cupped my balls with one hand, and while she worked me, I leaned my seat back and relaxed, letting my right arm drape over her body. I gently stroked her back, her neck, her hair. She jumped and gave a little moan when I slipped my hand down her panties and started to play with her pussy. After a minute or two she relaxed and a warm, wet little trickle seeped out of her pussy, around my fingers and into her panties. Her head was moving slowly all the way down my knob, and I could hear her gag as she hit bottom, and I could feel her tongue licking and lapping on her way back up. Then she’d pause at the top, sucking and slurping on the head of my dick, using her free hand to jack me off while she would gently squeeze my balls or tickle my ass with her fingers, and back down she’d go. I was ready to cum. But I didn’t want to do it while she was blowing me. I’d already decided that I wanted to roll her over, face first, on the car seat, then spread her legs and cum in her ass. I was just about to push her over when I heard the loud ‘Whoop! Whoop!’ of the police siren, and saw the swirling red and blue lights flashing in my rearview mirror. “Holy crap.†Then someone rapped hard on the window, and a flashlight beamed in on my face, startling me. My heart almost stopped dead. I didn’t know what to expect, so I let a flood of power build up and flow out of me, letting it wash away in a large circle. I took a deep breath and rolled down the window. “Uh. Excuse me sir, but did you know this is private property? You’re not supposed to be here.†The flashlight beam moved out of my eyes, so I could see. The cop staring sternly down at me was pretty, and young. The girl couldn’t have been over twenty; really, she looked like she was sixteen and just off the high school softball field. Then she shifted the light again and noticed Pam, staring up at her with a bloody, spit and tear-streaked face, her hands still wrapped around my cock. I smiled, but the girl-cop backed up a step and pulled her gun. Crap. The little bitch just pulled a fucking gun on me! So much for talking my way out of this one. This wasn’t going to be pleasant. “Sir, please step out of the car.†“Officer, I...†I mumbled. “Out-of-the-car.†She tried to make it sound threatening, but her voice squeaked and her hands shook. That, and the fact that she was about five feet tall kinda ruined the Dirty Harry effect. “Keep your hands up.†I carefully opened the door and eased outside. When I stood up, my sweats fell down to my ankles, and my dick practically reached out and tried to poke the cop in her belly. Her eyes popped open, and she whispered, “Holy shit!†Her eyes held on my dick for second, then flickered to Pam, and finally back to me. “Is it okay if I pull up my pants?†I asked. Her voice shook as she levelled her pistol at me. “Just turn around and put your hands on the roof of the car!†This was not my night. I sighed and turned around. “Okay,†I said and plopped my hands on the edge of my car roof. “Don’t move,†she warned me, and I heard the snap of a button, the creak of stiff leather, and the jangle of handcuffs. I felt the rough material of her uniform rub against my outstretched ass as she reached for my wrist. I was a good foot and a half taller than her, and I figured that I was feeling her stomach rubbing on my butt. Awkward for me, but just as bad for her. I wanted to get out of this situation without giving her a chance to get those handcuffs on me. Now or never, I thought, and spun on her with my elbows swinging. I had judged the level of her head just right, and my aim was right on. She was off balance enough that when my elbow hit her hard on the temple, she dropped flat on her back onto the sharp gravel. She grunted and her gun flew out of her hand and skidded off towards her cruiser, stopping seven or eight feet away. A bad night for her too, full of stupid mistakes. And then she made another. With my pants down, she had me at a disadvantage. But instead of trying to put some distance between us and mace me, she rolled over onto her stomach and went for her weapon. Really bad move. I took one hop and landed on her back. I heard the breath whoosh out of her, and then I had her pinned. I wrenched the handcuffs away from her, and a second later both of her arms were locked tight behind her back. “Stupid fucking bitch!†I screamed into her ear. She was scared stiff, but she tried to put on a good front. “Let me up, or...Ugnpgh!†“Shut the fuck up.†I ground her face into the rock and dirt. She cried out and fought, twisting and kicking, but I had all my weight resting on the small of her back, and without her hands to help, she had nowhere to go. She had a speaker for two-way walkie-talkie hooked to her uniform. I ripped it off and threw it into the bushes, then stood and pulled up my sweats while she squirmed around. “Oh God...don’t...you’re making a huge mistake! My...my backup’ll be here any second, and...†Fuck. That was something I hadn’t thought about. Unbelievable. My adrenaline high suddenly took a bad turn. I was wound as tight as a drum, and had to take a couple deep breaths to calm myself down. It really didn’t matter, even if there were a hundred more cops heading this way, but I wasn’t thinking clearly at all. My power already seemed to be in overdrive, but now it kicked into another gear. Suddenly the world spun around me, and then I popped into her head. I could feel her panic, her pain, and her realization that she’d really, really screwed up. And I knew she was bluffing. “You never called for any backup, you stupid twat.†I spat. “You just thought you found a couple little teenagers necking in mom’s car and decided to have a little fun without telling anyone.†“What... How did you... How did you know...?†“Not a real smart girl, are you?†I growled. “What’s your name?†“Off-Officer Griggs.†I shook and smacked her until she squeaked. “Your first name!†“S-Stop! Please! Cheryl! My name’s Cheryl!†“Cheryl. That’s a good little bitch. Now, let’s see you in the light.†She wore her blonde hair in a ponytail. I wrapped it in my hand and dragged her, kicking and screaming, over to her police cruiser. On the way, I kicked her gun off into the bushes with her walkie-talkie, and then I threw her face-down onto her cruiser, pounding her face into the hood until her knees buckled and the fight went out of her. “This is definitely not going to be your day, Cheryl.†I said as she lay, crumpled, on the hood. I unbuckled her gunbelt, then hucked it away too. No sense in taking any chances that she might realize she could still grab some mace. Or anything else she could use as a weapon, for that matter. One belt down, one more to go. A heavy leather belt held up her trousers, and I unbuckled that, then unsnapped and unzipped her dark blue pants and let the weight of the belt drag them down to her ankles. I stepped back to have a better look. Lord, she was thick. I had a sneaking suspicion that I was probably right about the softball, too. Her ass was wide and round and her legs were well-muscled, and she was wearing a pair of plain, black cotton panties. So, so not-sexy. Just more proof that real life wasn’t like Penthouse Forum. I flipped her over and she moaned, blinded by the glare from her cruisers’ blinking lights. My dick wanted me to see her tits, but her uniform and body armor hid her womanly treasures, so I yanked open her shirt. Her body armor was a one-piece vest, pulled over her head and velcroed together under her armpits. I ripped apart the velcro and eased the vest off over her head, pulling her upper body forward as it slipped off. Cheryl fell back onto the hood of the car and her shirt flopped open, giving me my first good look at her whole body. After finding the dull panties, I half expected to find either a woman’s undershirt or a plain, funtional bra. Maybe a sports bra. Certainly nothing arousing. But Cheryl surprised me, treating me to a sweet, lacy black bra - with a tiny pink flower sewn onto the spot just between the flowery cups that supported a nice, full pair of tits. I wedged myself between her knees and forced her legs open. “Wh-what are you going to do?†She whined. I considered. “Do you have a boyfriend, Cheryl?†She bit her lip and shook her head. “Girlfriend?†She closed her eyes and turned away from me. I slapped her lightly and asked again. “Cheryl, look at me when I’m talking to you.†SLAP! “I asked you a simple question. Do (slap) you (slap) have (slap) a (slap) girlfriend?†That got her attention. She opened her eyes, focused on some point over my shoulder and nodded. “Please stop. Please...†“Is she a cop too?†She nodded again. I kept my hand at her eye-level. “You ever suck dick?†She blinked and her lip trembled. I raised my hand and she nodded again. “You ever fuck a guy?†She squeezed her eyes shut. SLAP! “Agh...Nnnnooo! No!†“Really?†I asked. She started to cry. Quietly, but with big, wet tears rolling down her bruised, bloody cheek. “Cheryl, are you a virgin?†A BIG SOB this time. “Yes.†She whispered. “But you’ve given blowjobs?†“YES! YES! YES!†She flipped out, started screaming and kicking and thrashing around. “Goddamnyoumotherfucker, LET-ME-GO!†I grabbed her around her neck and squeezed until she stopped kicking and her eyes rolled around in her head. “Wow,†I said. “A dyke cop that sucks cock. This I’ve got to see.†I looked over my shoulder. Pam was still sitting in my car, scared to death, watching us through the back window. “Pam!†She jumped when I shouted her name. “Get out here! Now!†Pam walked over to us, still just wearing her undies, treading carefully on the rocks. I shook Cheryl, just enough to get her attention. “Where’s your nightstick?†Her eyes were wide with panic. “In...in the car. In the front seat.†I looked back at Pam, standing there in her underwear. My dick throbbed, and I jerked my head at the cruiser. “Get it. Quick.†While Pam rooted around in the car, I ripped off Cheryl’s ugly fucking panties. Her pussy hair was so light, at first I thought it was shaved to the skin. A quick feel, however, reavealed a nice, soft, trimmed bush. I gripped my dick and rubbed the head over her pubic hair, and then up and down her pussy lips. She groaned as I pushed, and her body tensed as I forced an inch or so of my dick into her cunt. “Nice and tight,†I whispered, and her hips bucked against me. She tried to squirm away, but her feet were tangled in her pants. She was so short her legs just dangled over the edge of the car, and she couldn’t get any leverage. Her heavy shoes just bounced off the fender as she kicked and squirmed. “I found it!†Pam eased her way back around to the front of the car, holding a gleaming black billy club, about a foot long and and inch or so thick. Perfect. Time to fuck. “What do you want me to do...with...it? Pam stopped and stared at my dick, the tip just wedged into the lesbo-girl-cops virgin pussy. Her hand flew to her mouth, and she murmured, “Oh, JesusGodAlmighty.†“Climb up on the hood with her and shove it in her mouth. Cheryl’s gonna show us how a lesbian sucks dick.†I looked at the terrified girl squirming under me, and my vision blurred. Pam shook her head. “Matt, please don’t do this. This is so wrong...†Something was happening to me. My entire body suddenly felt like it was on fire. “Get on the fucking car!†I growled. In my ears my voice sounded like metal scraping metal. Pam cried out and jumped up onto the car, whimpering, trying not to touch me. “Shove it in her mouth!†She tried to do it gently, but Cheryl had her mouth squeezed shut and was shaking her head frantically from side to side. A blood-red haze flooded through my brain, and I wrapped both of my hands around Cheryl’s neck and choked her until her body was bucking wildly under me and her eyes popped wide open. But her mouth stayed shut. “Matt, please! She can’t breathe!†Pam was screaming at me, wild-eyed, but held the club steady over Cheryl’s face. “Good.†I growled, and thrust my hips forward as hard as I could. A heart-wrenching cry filled the air as I ripped into Cheryl’s tight pussy. Her eyes bulged and her back arched, pushing her stomach and chest against mine. Her mouth worked, finally opening as Cheryl desperately tried to draw air. “There! Shove it in!†Pam slipped the round, black tip of the club into Cheryl’s mouth, and I pulled my dick out a few inches and pounded into her again. She bit down hard with the pain, and her teeth crunched through the varnish of the wood club. She tried to scream again, but managed just a choking wheeze. “Now fuck her face with it.†“Matt...†“DO IT!†I screamed. Pam shrank away from me, but began pumping the club up and down, like a plunger. Cheryl started to spasm and buck, forcing me deeper into her pussy. I stopped choking her and bit down on a soft, pink nipple instead. It hardened in my mouth as I sucked on it, flicking it with my tongue. I grabbed her other breast with my hand and squeezed, and I heard her draw a strangled breath when Pam lifted the club, and then came a gurgling groan as it was pushed back into her throat. “Harder! HARDER!†Pam was crying hysterically now, her huge jugs bouncing in her bra as she pumped the club up and down, in and out. Cheryl gagged and choked and her eyes bulged with fear, her body thrashing around madly underneath me. I chewed on her nice, juicy tits, held on and enjoyed the ride. After a few minutes, Cheryl’s thrashing had died down to little, jerky twitches, and soon she went limp. Pam kept slamming the club in and out, and I started fucking the unconscious girl. Just a few minutes later I came so hard I thought my balls exploded. I heard a loud, primal scream, an awful sound that emanated from somewhere deep in my body, and I passed out. I woke to find myself lying on the ground with my head cradled in Pam’s lap, her arms wrapped tightly around me. She was sobbing my name, rocking me, pleading with me to wake up, to be okay, not to be dead. The anger - the bloody, violent rage that had engulfed me after the cop pulled her gun on me was receding, but it took all my willpower to just reach out and stroke her cheek. I had another flash of her, looking radiant, dressed in a white and violet gown, bent over a wooden chapel pew. I was wearing a black suit and my pants were down, and I was busy fucking the hell out of her ass. She was gasping little, soft cries as my hands pulled the top of her dress down over those fucking huge, beautiful tits, and we were surrounded by other people, all in various stages of undress, fucking like dogs in heat. Pam jerked back, breathing heavily. I tried to sit up, and almost went under again. I got my elbows under me and waited until my vision cleared again. When it did, I saw Cheryl, slumped on the ground by her cruiser, her eyes open and vacant, staring blankly up at the night sky. “I...I think I killed her,†Pam whispered, and buried her face in my chest. Killed...her. Cheryl wasn’t the first woman I’d condemned to death after the power started to take control of me, but she was the first I’d actually been fucking when it happened. My vision blurred again. Pam’s body touching mine had started the burning sensation, back in the pit of my stomach. I couln’t take my eyes off the still, quiet body lying just a few feet away. I felt the blood pumping back through my penis, and some sick, dirty part of me wondered what it would be like to crawl over there, roll Cheryl over and shove my dick into her unresisting ass, and fuck her. “Matt, we’ve got to get out of here!†Pam begged. “Please!†I nodded, and she helped me to my feet. I had a brief, dazed thought about how this was a crime scene, and that I should probably try to clean my prints off of her car and the other stuff that you always see movies. But the dark voice in my head laughed happily and told me not to worry. No one would ever know, it said confidently. And as the air around us grew sharp with static electricity, I believed. I drove Pam home. She sat quietly, staring out the passenger window, still wearing nothing but her underwear. I’d pulled my sweats back up, but had taken off my t-shirt, which had blood spattered across it. Pam said it had spurted out of Cheryl’s mouth while she was fucking her with the club. Taking a last look at Cheryl’s face, I didn’t argue. After I passed out, she’d continued to pummel Cheryl with the billy club, until she realized she was probably dead. I’d been unconscious for about ten minutes before she stopped and let Cheryl crumple to the ground. When Pam realized she was really dead, she tried to wake me up. She didn’t say much on the way back to her house. I had to ask her for her address and find her place without her help. When I pulled up in front of her well-kept, two-story victorian, she just stared out the window until I got out of the car, opened her door and walked her to her porch, carrying her bag with her clothes inside. There were three cars parked in the driveway, but except for the porchlight, the house was dark. Her hand shook as she stuck her key in the lock, and when the door opened, the dark, twisted part of me took over again, and I followed her inside. She twisted around as I reached for her, and dropped her bag. “Matt? Wha...?†I pulled her close and kissed her, thrusting my tongue into her mouth. She tried to push me away, but I held her by the waist. “No! No!†She whispered. “My husband’s here! I...†Ignoring her, I wrapped my hand in the band of her underpants and pulled. It snapped and I tossed the remains into the dark room and pulled down my sweats. I kissed her again as my dick pressed into her belly, and I pulled her down on top of me. “Matt, my family, please don’t...†I laid on my back and settled her over my hips. Her pussy rubbed against my dick and she moaned a little, shaking her head. I relaxed and let the control of my power disappear. The room spun, and I arched my back, slipping my cock into her. She braced herself, her hands against my chest, and let herself slowly slide down my shaft. Her body trembled a little as she settled down on me, and she licked her lips. Her pussy was already soaking wet. “Fuck me Pam.†“God, please, don’t...†“Fuck me, like you imagined you where when we were at the gym.†Her hips began a slow, grinding circle. She was panting a little, and she closed her eyes and her fingers clenced my chest. I reached up and slipped my fingers into her mouth and she sucked on them, moaning a little. “How did you...?†I felt the first clench of her pussy muscles, and the first little flood of her juice on my legs as she warmed up, and her grinding circle became a slow, rhythmic bounce. “Because right now, I’m God.†She closed her eyes and I squeezed her tits as she rode me, her head thrown back, her arms quivering, and then she was cumming, her butt bouncing wildly, slapping my legs and her fingernails digging into my chest. “Matt, oh God, Matt oh God, Matt...†she chanted, quietly. She stopped suddenly, tensing, then her body jerked once, hard, and a river of warm fluid ran over my legs as she came. She collapsed in a heap on top of me, weeping. She wrapped her arms around me and nuzzled my neck as I continued to slowly fuck her. “Oh God, I can’t believe this...†she sobbed into my neck. “I... love... uh...uh... my husband, and my... uh...uh...uh... my girls are... uh... asleep... mmmMMnnnggh...†I hate a crying woman. Usually. “Pam?†“Uh... uh... W-What?†I liked the way she felt against me, warm and soft. I wrapped my arms around her and squeezed her ass. “Are all your kids here tonight?†She shook her head, and gulped a breath of air. “Nuh- No... no. Kim’s got her own a... a... apartment...†Shit. I was kinda hoping to fuck them all tonight. Now I had to change my plans. Then a thought occurred to me. “I want an invitation to your daughters wedding.†She raised up a little, looking at me oddly. “Why?†I grinned and smacked her ass. “You’ll see.†I grinned. “I’ll even dress up. What are you going to wear?†She settled back down on her elbows, her face hovering just above mine. She was having trouble concentrating; her nipples brushed my chest with each of my thrusts and her breath was coming in sharp little gasps. “A...a white dress w-with vi-violet t-t-trim...†“Wear a garter belt and stockings too. Okay?†“Wh-why?†I grinned and squeezed her ass harder. “Because I said so.†I licked her neck and she groaned. “And no panties.†When I pulled her against me again, I felt her pussy loosen around my dick and then clamp back down. It spasmed, like she was trying to push me out, and she collapsed on me, tangling her fingers in my hair and kissing me. Her little tongue flicked into my mouth and I sucked and nibbled on it as another warm, wet flood spurted from her cunt and trickled down my hips. I let her ride out her orgasm, and when she finished I rolled on top of her and hooked my arms under her legs. She wrapped them around my neck and pulled my face down to hers. “That goes for your girls, too.†I whispered and let my weight rest on her. “M-My girls?†she moaned. I laughed. “Yep. And,†I added, “I want a seat right behind you.†And then I bit her neck, squeezed her tits and let my cock take over. On general principle, I really don’t like weddings. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve hated going to church. Hard benches, nothing to do but listen to sermons so boring you can’t even fall asleep, and enough nasty old-lady perfume floating around in the air to make your nose bleed. Those same old ladies - wearing their big hats so you couldn’t see anything good anyway - turning and ‘shushing’ you every time you sneezed because of their nasty perfume. Yuck. Forget it. Although, come to think of it, that might be were I developed my older-woman fixation. All those matrons, dressed up in their Sunday best, passing me around from bosom to bosom, hugging me and pinching my cheek, giggling and telling my parents what a sweet boy I was while I felt them up. The good old days. Anyway. I should’ve known my marriage was doomed. Especially when Jennifer nixed my idea to invite a few friends and our close family and get married on the beach, and insisted instead on having a traditional Catholic wedding with a bunch of jerk-offs neither of us even knew. Reminded me a lot of this one. The church was crammed full with a hundred or so guests, and we were all impatiently waiting for the show to get on the road. The groom fidgeted and adjusted his bowtie for the umpteenth time, whispering something to his best man, who grinned and watched as the priest smoothed back his comb-over. I picked out Pams two younger daughters, Jenny and Katie, among the brides-maids, blushing prettily in their dresses, playing with their bouqets and smiling nervously out at the crowd. I was decked out in my new black suit, uncomfortably squeezed into one of those wooden pews right behind Pam, along with several of their closest, nasty-perfume wearing friends. The youngest of the ladies - an attractive, fifty-something, plumper version of Pam - who was wearing a low-cut white satin dress with matching gloves and hat, reached over and patted my knee. A strange bolt of pleasure shot up my leg as the feather in her hat tickled my nose. What the fuck, I thought to myself. No time like the present. I’d held my power in check all morning, waiting for the bride-to-be to start her walk up the aisle. No real reason to wait any longer, I thought, and I let the floodgates down. The tingling started at the back of my neck, and I felt the power flow from me, quickly radiating outward in a circle, like a ripple in a pond. The room warmed up considerably, even with the air-conditioning going full blast. The women around me started fanning themselves, their cheeks suddenly turning bright pink. A chorus of throat-clearing filled the air as men loosened their ties and unbuttoned starched collars. Teenagers wiggled in their seats and licked beads of perspiration from their lips; their already over-loaded hormones kicking into high gear. The air turned static, and parents tried to quiet giggling children who squealed happily as they playfully zapped each other with their fingers. The woman patting my knee took a deep breath, let her hand rest on my thigh and leaned over, flashing her ample cleavage. “How do you know the family, dear?†She smiled and her eyes twinkled. “Are you an old boyfriend of Kim’s?†I cleared my throat. “Oh, no. I’ve known the family for... Well, quite a while.†I gave the gloved hand resting on my knee a little squeeze. “I’m Matt.†“Hi Matt. I’m Sarah, Pam’s sister.†She locked her fingers in mine and shifted my hand into her lap. “Are you here all alone?†I nodded. “No. I don’t believe it.†“It’s true. Crazy as it seems, I came all by myself.†Sarah snuggled closer, and her hips bumped into my leg. She wrapped my hand in both of hers and sighed. “Your wife couln’t come today?†“I’m not married.†Not anymore, anyway. “How about you?†She smiled. “I am...not. No, I prefer the single life. Keeps me feeling young.†Sarah leaned against me, and my arm rested against her breast. She sighed and adjuted my hand, then whispered conspiritorally in my ear. “I don’t approve of this wedding at all, you know. I was trying to talk Kim out of going through with it at the rehearsal yesterday. She’s too damn young to get married. I should know - her mother and I both got married much too young. I guess Pam doesn’t mind, she’s happy for Kim. But I think she should take some time, go to school, see the world and get laid.†She grinned, then sighed. “That’s what I’d do, if I where her. But I’m afraid none of that’s going to happen.†She looked at the groom, nervously chewing on his fingernail. “Look at him. Not even a man yet. I don’t even think he needs to shave.†She harrumphed. I laughed. “I’m sure Kim likes him just the way he is.†“Yeah, right. What does she know? She’s still a child.†Katie looked me up and down. “You’re an attractive young man. If you know her so well, why didn’t you ask Kim to...†she trailed off as the doors in the back of the church opened. All heads turned and everyone stood as the wedding march started. Sarah and I stood along with the crowd, and I heard the rustle of her dress as it settled over her underclothes. She held onto my hand and pressed against me, peeking over the shoulders of the people standing in the row behind us. Kim’s father beamed proudly as he guided her towards the altar. Sarah dug the fingers of her free hand into my bicep. “Oh, she looks beautiful though. Doesn’t she?†I agreed. Kim was tall and willowy, with her fathers height, but with the full, hourglass figure she inherited from her mother. Her long, sun-bleached hair was pinned up under the gauzy veil that obscurred her pretty, California surfer-girl face, and her long, flowing wedding dress trailed out behind her. When they reached the altar, she stopped and kissed her dad, then gracefully took the steps to stand next to her fiance. The guests oohed and aahed over her for a few moments, then the priest cleared his throat, we all sat, and the ceremony began. After giving away the bride, Pam’s husband Jack sat down and wiped a tear from the corner of his eye. He whispered something to Pam and kissed her on the cheek. Pam glanced back at me, a worried, haunted look in her eyes. Sarah gave her a happy little wave and raised our clenched hands. I smiled at her reassuringly, and Pam turned back to the ceremony, suddenly looking even worse. “Poor Pam. She’s completely stressed out over this,†Sarah said and rested her head against my shoulder. “Uh, huh,†I said, non-commitedly. I relaxed as best as I could and while everyone else turned misty-eyed, I busied myself with blowing the annoying feather out of my face and staring down Sarah’s dress. Until - finally - the priest asked if anyone present objected to this marriage, blah-blah-blah, speak now or forever blah-blah-blah. You know the drill. I figured this was the most appropriate moment for what I wanted to do, and I let my power loose again. The tickle in my neck tickled, and next to me, Sarah wriggled. In front of me, Pam jumped. A collective moan went up from the guests, but this shot was directed towards the pew in front of us, and the group of people standing at the altar, specifically. The priest lost his place for a moment, but recovered nicely. And Kim, who had been so relaxed through the ceremony, suddenly stiffened. I saw her glance over at her smiling groom, and as the priest intoned the ‘Do you, Kim, take this man’ speech, she did a little dance, hopping back and forth from one foot to another, like she suddenly had to use the bathroom. Kim blinked at the priest, as if she hadn’t heard the question. He tried again. “Kim, do you...†This time, she turned to her fiance, who held her hands and smiled encouragingly. Sarah sat up straighter next to me, trying to get a better view. I grinned to myself, trying to remember the exact words Sarah had used a few minutes before... Kim visibly shook herself, like she was trying to wake up out of a bad dream, and answered. “I...I’m sorry, Tim. I can’t. I...I want to take some time, go to school.†She smiled weakly as her fiance’s face melted. The crowd around us hushed as Kim continued. “I want to travel and see the world, and, and...†“What?†Her fiance looked like he wanted to shake her. Or punch her in the mouth. “And fucking what?†“And get laid!†She yelled. You could’ve heard a pin drop, the room got so quiet. I definitely heard Kim’s bouqet fall to the floor, right before she rushed down the steps and out the door, sobbing. Her sisters and the other bridesmaids followed her, and the rest of the guests stared at the closing doors in shock. The poor kid left standing at the altar looked like he’d eaten something bad and really needed to take a dump. His best man tried not to laugh and flipped the wedding ring he wouldn’t have to hand over. I heard him say “I told you so,†and I decided to put the clamps down. I remembered the fantasy I’d had of fucking Pam in the ass at the wedding, and let loose with another blast of power. In front of me, Pam’s husband was coming back to his senses, and was getting ready to run after his daughter. Pam grabbed him by the arm and pulled him back. “Jack.†“Pam, we’ve gotta go see what the hell’s wrong with Kim...†She shook her head. “Jack, I want a divorce.†Jack sat down. Pam stood up. Sarah gasped. I grinned and started rubbing the smooth material covering her thigh. “What?†Jack looked like he’d been pimp-slapped. Pam glanced at me and took a deep breath as my power flooded the room. Around us, I could see men, women and children staring at each other. A few people were already groping at each other on the benches. “I’m leaving you and taking the girls. We won’t be home tonight.†And with that, she ran after her daughters. Which caught me kind of by surprise. I think I looked about as shocked as her husband. A teenage boy sitting behind us finally lost control and grabbed the tits of the old, grey-haired woman seated next to him. She popped him with her handbag, but then threw her arms around him and shoved her tongue down his throat. A couple already busy kissing fell off the pew next to us and rolled around on the ground, trying to undo pants and pull up skirts at the same time. The woman sitting just next to Sarah unzipped the pants of the man next to her and went down on him. He spread his arms out on the back of the bench and sank down with a sigh as her head started bobbing. Jack stood and watched his daughters beautiful wedding suddenly degenerated into an monster orgy. The groom and his best men surrounded a very pregnant young lady across the aisle from us, and bent her screaming over the pew. The groom ripped her dress open, all the way up her back, until it hung from a small strip of material just around her neck. He yanked down her panties, taking her from behind, and ran his hands up over her swollen belly to her milk-engorged tits. He found the clasp to her bra, just between her breasts, and unsnapped it, letting the bra hang loosely off her back. Another man shoved his dick in her mouth and fucked her face while the groom milked her, squirting jets of watery looking fluid from her titties onto the other guys trouser legs. In a matter of seconds, she was surrounded by men, stroking their dicks, waiting their turn. Before all hell broke loose, I tried to let anyone with children out. All the younger kids suddenly needed to use the bathroom all at the same time, and it looked like most of them made it. One woman with a younger girl wasn’t so lucky. She and her daughter were intercepted at the doors by a group of ushers. The woman was pinned to the floor by four or five men, her blouse ripped open and her skirt pulled up to her waist. She screamed as they held her down and fucked her, until one of the men stuffed his dick in her mouth and forced him to suck her. An older man grabbed her daughter, a pretty girl of maybe ten or eleven, and sat down in a vacant seat and plopped her on his knee. He kissed her little neck and played with her golden curls as he lifted the hem of her cute pink dress. The girl wiggled and squirmed on his leg as he unbuckled his pants, and he told her how sweet she looked as he ripped her white, ruffled panties. Then he picked her up and dropped her little, virgin pussy onto his dick. She screeched, and her pretty curls bounced as he fucked her. On another bench, a newborn baby screamed for its mother, who was busy riding a young boy, who in turn was busy nursing the woman as she ground her pussy against his hairless crotch. Warm milk oozed from her brown little nipples as the boy noisily sucked away. All through the chapel, people were fucking. Young men with wizened old women, bald old men with hot-bodied girls. Whoever a person was closest to, they fucked. The air filled with the smell of sex, and the gasping, moaning and panting of people in heat. Jack stood and watched. Then a hand reached around, cupping the bulge at his crotch, unzipping his pants. Jack turned to find the priest, smiling at him, his robes pulled up over his erect cock. Jack looked at the man, then down at his own dick poking straight out of his slacks. The priest gripped him, and then they fell behind the bench, out of my sight. I congratulated myself. A job well done. And then Sarah unzipped my pants, hiked up her skirt and bent over the bench. “Come and get it,†she smiled. I tried to picture the woman I was fucking in my fantasy. I’d thought it was Pam. Maybe not. Sarah gasped as I pulled out my dick, hard and ready, and I shoved her slip up over her big ass. Underneath, she was wearing a white garter belt and white, silk stockings. I yanked her panties off to one side and rubbed the tip of my dick up and down her pussy lips. She hissed with pleasure, squeezed the top of the bench with a death-grip and wiggled her ass at me. “Fuck me,†she said, and pushed herself onto my cock. So I had to adapt my plans a bit. Again. No big deal. I reached around and grabbed Sarah’s tits, pulling the top of her dress down over them. They bounced out into my hands, and I gave them a nice squeeze and shoved my hips against her butt. Her head snapped back and she wiggled harder while I played with her tits. They were packed into her bra, and her nipples poked up through the lace into my palms. I fucked her pussy for a minute to lube up, then pulled out. There was one thing from my fantasy that I wasn’t going to change. “Hope you like to get butt-fucked, Sarah.†She moaned, and I reached down and grabbed my dick, shoving the tip into her asshole. The palm of my hand was slick with her juice, and I rubbed it off on her dress while I worked my way into her butt. God. That felt good. The kid behind had torn apart the old ladies dress, and was so anxious to fuck her he didn’t bother to pull down her nylons or her underwear. He was just shoving his dick into the material, grunting away, slowly ripping his way into her pussy. She was grabbing his ass with her clawlike fingers, trying to get him to kiss her while he humped away. The women in the chapel outnumbered the men about two to one, and one poor guy was pulled off of the sweet young thing he was boning by a gang of grandma’s and splayed out in the aisle. They took turns fucking him; one fat old lady riding his dick, another sitting on his face. All of them giggled when his screams floated out past her flabby butt-cheeks, sounding a lot like muffled farts. I couldn’t see the pregnant girl at all anymore, just guys waiting, yelling encouragement at whoever was fucking her. The one black couple in the chapel during the ceremony was also getting their fair share of attention. Standing in a circle of women, his pants pooled around his ankles and his shirt torn off, the guy was busy screwing a cute teenage girl while the other ladies pawed at him. The woman was riding an older guy who was laying on the floor while another guy fucked her ass, and she gobbled a ring of five or six cocks that smacked at her face. She had gobs of cum dripping from her chin down her neck, soaking the front of her light purple sundress, turning it transparent enough to see the lacy white push-up bra underneath. Her nut-brown ass jiggled as the guy pounding away behind her started to cum. He pulled out and sent stream after stream of sticky white cum across her back, falling back on his ass as he climaxed. And then another guy pushed him roughly out of the way and shoved his dick into her butt. She screamed around a mouthful of cock and vainly tried to push him away while somebody came on her face. The new guy fucking her ass quickly found his stride, and wrapped his ams around her in a bear hug. Somebody else grabbed her wrists and yanked her arms up over her head, giving everyone a great view of her big tits when her dress was ripped open down the front. Her bra went seconds later, and then the two guys fucking her mouth pulled out and greased her exposed titties. Her man noticed and tried to help her, but before he could reach her, he was pulled down by a huge, grotesquely fat old lady. Both he and his big cock disappeared with a grunt, and the women around him cheered. There was a perky-bodied teenage asian girl lying on her stomach, spread-eagled on the floor, looking ready to pass out. A hairy, sweaty, fat man sat with her head buried on his lap, his cock lodged deep in her throat, and another guy was on top of her, viciously screwing her from behind, both of his hand digging into her ass-cheeks. A line of guys about ten deep stood and stroked themselves, waiting their turn. The sound and smell of sex filled the air. I pulled Sarah closer and her hat fell off, bouncing over the bench in front of her. Her hair was pinned up in a tight bun, and I ran my hands through it, loosening it until thick, pale blonde curls swirled through my fingers. I gently toyed with her hair and she played with her pussy, purring like a cat. She ground her ass against me in a slow semi-circle, and while she fucked me, I marvelled at how closely she resembled Pam. She reached behind me and cupped the back of my head with her hand, then pulled me close and kissed me. I lost myself in the feel of her body, the insistent probing of her sweet little tongue in my mouth. And then I blew my wad so hard, cum shot back out of her ass, all over my legs. I let myself lay on top of her and relaxed, forcing her down on the top edge of the bench. All around us, guys were busy blowing their loads, then they would wipe the sweat from their faces and dive back in for more. The jolt I’d given them should keep the action rolling for a few hours. Who knew what would happen after that. Now that I was finished, it was time to hunt down Pam and her girls. I figured that I’d take Sarah along for the ride as well, so I pulled out, wiped my dick off on her stockings, then dragged her with me as I stepped over knots of writhing bodies and picked my way out of the chapel. We found Pam and her daughters in the upstairs dressing rooms. Pam and Kim were both sobbing, the other girls trying to console them. “Time to go,†I said. By the time we left the church, it was almost dark. Sarah sat next to me in the passenger seat, holding my hand, a cat-that-ate-the-canary smile plastered on her face. In the back, Jenny and Katie were crammed in next to Pam and Kim, who spent the entire ride blankly staring out the windows. Pam looked shell-shocked. She’d poked her head into the chapel door as we were leaving, and I had to physically drag her out of the building. “Evil.†She kept muttering. “Unholy.†Sarah threw her a reprimanding scowl, then smiled at me again and squeezed my hand. “Well, I don’t think so.†She turned to me and licked her lips. “I think I found God.†Over the last months as I’ve acquired more slaves, I realized that I needed more space to keep them. Susan - the same slave who owned the warehouse property were Pam and I raped the policewoman - recently signed over the titles to several new properties to me, which included a new townhouse style apartment complex that would now be the new home for Pam and her family. It was nice and comfortable, roomy enough for all five women, and tucked away in a cul-de-sac, isolated and well hidden from prying eyes. Kim looked up as we turned into the driveway. “Were are we?†Pam looked at her daughter. “Hell.†I parked the car in the garage and led the ladies into their new home. I tossed a keyring on the kitchen counter as they looked around. The house was already furnished, the kitchen stocked with food and appliances. Susan had been in charge of getting it ready for the girls. “This is where you’ll all be living from now on.†I said. The buzz at the base of my neck sent little tingles down my spine, and my dick perked back up. “What do you mean? Kim asked. “I don’t understand what’s going on. I...†“Who all here has had sex?†I asked. Each of them looked at me like I was crazy. Pam raised her hand. Sarah smiled at me and blew me a kiss. The girls looked at each other, and Katie blushed. “Well, well, well.†I looked at Kim, who glared back at me. “Saving yourself for that special someone?†Pam piped up. “She’s a good girl.†“Not for much longer.†Kim and her sisters looked at Pam. “Mom, what the fuck’s going on? Who is this guy?†Her veil was still pinned in her hair. Kim brushed it back as she talked. “Why are we here?†Instead of trying to explain, I started to strip. The girls watched me with wide eyes, and Sarah grinned when I stood up, naked, my dick hanging down almost to my knees. Pam tried to keep her eyes on the floor, but she was starting to fidget. I turned to Kim, and my dick throbbed. “This is where you’ll all be living from now on.†I walked over to her as I spoke. She tried to take her eyes off my dick and failed miserably. “Wh-what do you mean? I’ve got my own...place...†“Not anymore.†I smiled. “Now, girls, if you would, why don’t you grab your sister and hold her down for me.†“What?†Kim tried to back away, but tripped and fell right over the coffee table. Her sisters grabbed her arms, and her mom and aunt each took hold of a leg and spread them open. Kim pleaded with her family, her words falling on suddenly deaf ears. “Why don’t you shut her up for me?†Jenny clamped a hand over Kim’s mouth as I walked into the kitchen. I found a nice big butcher knife and walked back to the living room, my dick swinging out in front of me. I knelt between Kim’s legs and ran a hand over her sweet body, enjoying the look of terror on her pretty face, the feel of her full breasts under her dress. Using the knife to cut her skirt open, I ran my hand up her stockings and played with the garter wrapped around her thigh. “You’re mine now Kim. From this moment on, you and your sisters and your mom and aunt. You all belong to me.†Kim jerked and her body heaved on the table, but her family held her down. I cut away her panties. Her little pussy was nice and pink, her little asshole just waiting for me to ream it out. I bent over and licked her clit, running the tip of the knife along her ass, making her squirm, her screams muffled under her sisters hand. I tongued her for a few minutes, then got into it, really eating her out, until slop from her pussy ran down my chin and dripped off her ass. Then I got up on my knees, bent over her belly and pushed my dick into her pussy. She screamed as I took her virginity, her body bucking wildly. I held on and pushed until my balls slapped her ass. “There’s just nothing like taking that sweet, bloody cherry, you know that, bitch?†God, she was tight. Kim cried and whimpered while I fucked her, and her titties were bounced around enticingly with all her thrashing. Grinning, I cut open the bodice of her wedding dress, and then ripped it open to her navel. “Time to see the titties,†I said, and sliced her bra open. Her breasts were nice and firm, with perky nipples so hard they could poke your eye out. I used my hands, groping her, enjoying the feel of her cool, smooth stockings rubbing on my legs, the lace of her dress in my hands. After I came I let her family take turns, but I pulled Katie back with me. I sat on the couch and watched Pam suck her daughters pussy while I taught Katie how to give her first blow job. This was going to be a great next few days, I thought, and pushed the girls head down farther onto my dick. I heard her jaw crack and her fingers scratched and clawed at my ass, but she didn’t bite down. I felt myself slide slowly into her warm, wet throat, and sighed. I was going to enjoy myself here. Knock ‘em all up and breed these bitches. And why stop here? Why not take a new girl a day. Everyday. Hell yeah. Why not? I pulled the straps to Katie’s dress until they snapped. I leaned over and pulled her skirt over her cute little ass. She whimpered but kept slurping my schlong, getting me nice and horny again. The world better watch out.
A bunch of us - Ron, Dave, Mark, Brett, Clancy, Byron, K.C. and I, all raised our eyebrows. We were hanging out at Ron’s after school and instantly the tide of the conversation had turned from cheap beer and pizza to more important matters.
"Who?" Ron asked.
Dave smacked his lips.
"Mrs. Jennings."
Ron let out a low whistle.
"Fuck, yeah." Clancy agreed.
Brett blushed. "Seriously? But...but she’s a teacher!"
Everybody laughed at him; the young, weak member of the herd. Mark sensed blood, and went for the kill.
"Brett, you must be a homo," he goaded.
"What? No Iâ€

â„¢m not!" Brett whined.
"Virgin?"
Brett’s cheeks turned flaming red, but he kept quiet; all but admitting to the damning accusation. Mark grinned happily. Brett Baiting was his favorite past-time, and Brett rarely failed to supply fresh material for him.
"’Cause if you wouldn’t fuck Mrs. Jennings, you’re either that or a fag."
"Shut up!"
"’She’s a teacher,’" Mark mimicked. "I’d never fuck a teacher!’" He turned back to Dave and threw his two cents into the conversation. "She’s hot. But you know who’s got better tits? Mrs. Carmichael."
"Oh God, yeah," said Clancy. "Nice ass too. What about you, Ron?"
Ron thought about it. "I dunno. I like my women skinny. Mrs. Carmichael’s a little too thick for me. I think Mrs. Daly’s kinda cute; she’s got that sweet little ass, I’d just like to grab on and..." Ron wrapped his hands around an imaginary ass and fucked the air. "I’d fuck her for hours, man."
We all agreed on that one.
"Yeah," nodded K.C. "Dave and I have her for third-period Lit." He giggled and poked his hands out of his t-shirt, like he had boobs. "The air-conditioning in her room’s fucked up. It’s stuck on, so it’s always freezing in there. Her nipples are always poking out through her shirt."
"They look like they could poke out your eyeballs." Dave mimed one of Mrs. Carmichaels’ tits jabbing him in the eye.
Everybody laughed again. Even Brett.
"I’d do Mrs. Gray," said Byron.
Dave scrunched up his nose and scowled. Mark and K.C. looked stumped.
"Who?"
Byron grinned, his white teeth flashing against his dark face. "You all will never guess."
"The old cranky bitch in the office?" Dave looked mystified. "The one you said you’d give me a dollar if I could get her to smile?"
"Yep." Byron grabbed his crotch. "I’d get her to smile. I got her smile right here. Know what I mean? Har, har, har!"
Light dawned in Mark’s eyes. "The Attendance Nazi?"
Byron was pretending to slurp boobage. "Nobody said you gotta like the bitches to fuck ‘em. Mrs. Gray’s got those great, big - POW! - titties, man. I’d get on up behind that fat old ass, grab on ’ta them titties, and - BAM!" He pounded the air with his hips. "Hate fuck th’ old cooze. Right there at the counter."
"Bet’cha that’s why she’s there." Mark said.
Byron pumped away. "What’cha mean, man?"
"You never see her or Principal Nelson around during the afternoon, do you? I bet he keeps her there, just to fuck her during lunchtime."
We all cracked up.
"Yeah," agreed Clancy. "He’s probably like, ‘Mrs. Gray, pardon me, but can you step into my office for a moment?’, and she’s like, ‘Why Mr. Nelson, of course.’ And then he makes her suck him off under his desk, saying shit like, ‘You like my big, donkey-dick, don’t you Mrs. Gray’. And she says more shit back, like, ‘Mrghphrn, mh-hmm’, while she’s busy bouncing her head up and down." He bobbed his head, poking his tongue into his cheek and made wet smacking sounds with his lips.
K.C. chimed in. "And then he spooges all over her wrinkly tits, and tells her to go back to work and yell at all the crummy teenagers."
Ron laughed so hard, I thought he was gonna puke all over the pepperoni. Dave turned to me and grinned.
"You’re awfully quiet, Dev. You used to get all the pussy you wanted, with Cara an’ all. But who’d you fuck now, if you got the shot?"
I felt a slow grin spread across my face, and I looked at each of the guys before answering.
"That’s easy. Ms. Bell."
"What?" Ron asked.
"Seriously?" Chimed in Brett.
I nodded, my smile getting bigger.
"The French teacher?" asked Byron
"Yeah. Well, my Spanish teacher now."
Mark started laughing.
"The Bride of Frankenstein?"
He wasn’t kidding. Ms. Bell was kinda weird.
She insisted on the kids in her classes calling her Ms . Bell (‘NOT Mrs.!’), or by her first name: Linda. She was pale enough to make me think she never stepped outside; and the pancake makeup, black eyeliner and bright red lipstick she favored contrasted with her curly, jet black hair, which she wore piled up in mounds on top of her head. And she was really tall; even taller than most of the guys on our school basketball team.
I had the hots for her because she always wore either full-length dresses or tight skirts with nice, silky blouses, black stockings and ‘fuck-me’ heels. For some reason, she always looked really sexy to me. Maybe it was because I got off on old monster movies. I dunno.
I took two years of French with her. Both my freshman and sophomore years.
And I sucked. To this day, I can’t speak a fucking word of French. But I have to give Ms. Bell credit; she worked her ass off with me. She made time for me after school, and somehow I managed to pass her class both years. And all those hours after school, sitting next to her, smelling her perfume, watching her luscious ass wiggle when she wrote on the chalkboard, listening to her speak the ‘language of love’ (as my mom called it), well...
Somewhere during those two years, I guess I developed a schoolboy crush.
So when my counselor, Mrs. Neidermeyer, told me that I had to take another language credit if I wanted to graduate, I remembered all those afternoons spent trying to catch quick, tantalizing glimpses of Ms. Bells’ bra or the soft skin between her breasts.
I told Mrs. Neidermeyer that I liked Ms. Bell. That was exactly how I said it. And she replied that Ms. Bell was teaching both French and Spanish this year. I could choose one of her classes, or I could try one of the other two languages the school offered.
I had a choice.
I absolutely didn’t want to suffer through another year of French, and no way was I going to try Japanese, so it boiled down to picking between the German class, with old Mr. Bromberg (and his halitosis and dandruff), or Ms. Bell and Spanish.
My girlfriend - Cara - took German the year before, and told me that after the second month they weren’t allowed to speak any English in class at all.
Fuck that. It wasn’t a hard decision to make.
Unfortunately, I sucked almost as badly with Spanish as I did with French. Fortunately, they were similar enough and I seemed to have retained enough from my French classes that I was muddling through. And Ms. Bell seemed really excited to see me back, and offered to help me out again if I needed it.
This year, one of the football jocks started calling her ‘the Bride of Frankenstein’ after she came to school with a white, wavy streak that ran right up the side of her head, all the way through her thick black hair.
The nickname stuck, and now all the kids whispered it behind her back. She’d earned a couple other names, too. But I still got a huge fucking boner whenever she smiled at me.
Anyway... back to the discussion in progress.
"The Bride of Frankenstein?"
Everybody was staring at me like I’d snotted a baseball out of my nose.
"Yeah." I said.
"Seriously?"
Brett again. Mark hucked a beer at me.
"No fuckin’ way!"
I grinned at the guys and cracked the beer. Dave was staring at me, openmouthed.
"You’re serious!"
"Yup."
He squinted at me and cocked his head. Ron caught the meaning in my grin too.
"You... you didn’t fuck her. Did you?"
I raised my beer in a toast, and everybody exploded with questions.
"Don’t lie to me, motherfucker." Dave was grinning from ear to ear. "You’re telling me you fucked Vampira?"
That was another one of her nicknames, and just as appropriate as ‘the Bride of...’.
I shrugged and smiled.
"This I gotta hear."
They all leaned in closer. So I took a long sip, savoring the moment, and swished the cold beer around in my mouth.
I gave them the short version. The one designed to impress teenage boys.
Some things aren’t meant for even your closest friends to know. Not all of this story, anyway.
My fucked up, senior year sex life.
So here it goes. The whole story.
It started on a Friday afternoon at the beginning of the school year, right after the last bell of the day.
I had Spanish for my last class, and I’d said goodbye to Ms. Bell and met K.C. in the hall.
We walked to our lockers together. I was idly spinning the dial on mine, waiting for Cara to pop by before her mom picked her up. K.C. was noisily listening to his walkman at the locker next to mine, jamming out to some serious funk, dancing and singing out loud, when Cara walked up and kissed me on the cheek.
Then she broke up with me.
"Seriously?" I knew that I sounded like Brett, but I didn’t care. I had my pride, after all, and I wasn’t going to take this lying down. "You’re breaking up with me to go out with Keith?"
I wasn’t yelling yet, but I was close.
"I can’t fucking believe this."
I knew Keith, a little. He was a big dork who kinda ran in our circle of friends, but way out on the edge. Right now, he was hanging out with the jocks and the cheerleaders down the hall, waiting for Cara to finish up with me, I guess.
"Look, don’t be mad. I don’t want to do this either, Dev."
Yeah, sure. She didn’t look upset about this at all. In fact, she looked almost happy .
"But he’s a really nice guy."
Keith was busy scamming one of the cheerleaders, slobbering all over the front of her sweater.
"Cara, he fucking drools ."
Cara rolled her eyes at me.
"Don’t be such a baby."
"I hear he’s got a really big dick, too." K.C. had turned his walkman down to a dull roar when he noticed I was getting worked up. "That wouldn’t have anything to do with this, would it? Hmmn?"
"Fuck you, K.C."
I grinned maliciously at my buddy.
"Are you saying she’s breaking up with me ‘cause I’ve got a little dick?"
He shrugged into his coat and started stuffing homework into his backpack.
"Nope. Never. Uh-uh. No way. Why would I say something like that? You hurt me with your huge man-meat everyday after gym. Heh."
K.C. cracked up, trying to smooch me. Then he pinned me to my locker and started dry-humping my leg.
"Oh baby, oh baby!" He cackled.
"Knock it off!" I laughed, trying to push him off me.
"You jerks. Shit. Sorry I even tried." Cara threw up her hands and stomped away.
She ignored the cheerleaders glaring at her and grabbed Keith by the arm, dragging him in her wake.
He smiled and waved back at me
Prick.
"Ahh. Don’t worry. She’s a dumb twat anyway." K.C. watched her go, and then slapped my back. "Who needs a drink?"
I sighed. "She was my dumb twat."
Cara jumped up on Keith’s back. He ran down the hall, slobbering and giggling like a girl, with her bouncing on his shoulders.
"Not anymore." He turned and zipped the backpack.
"Kinda harsh, man."
I glared at my friend and he shrugged. "It’s a harsh world, Dev. Looks like somebody wants to talk to you." He was staring over my shoulder when a silky smooth female voice startled me.
"Devin?"
I jumped, and turned to find Ms. Bell standing right behind me, smiling.
"Oh, Jeez." I grinned up at her.
In her heels, the top of my head was barely even with the tip of her nose. And I wasn’t a small kid. She looked nice today, kinda sexy, dressed in a tight black skirt that was slit a little way up her thigh, and a sheer, low-cut white blouse.
I tried not to stare at the lace from her bra, just poking over the top of her blouse.
"Could I borrow you for a little while? Maybe half an hour?" She asked. "I need help moving some boxes for tomorrow."
"Uh, sure. I guess so." I looked over at K.C..
"Have fun," he adjusted his earphones, cranked up the volume on his stereo and left me alone in the hall with one of the scariest teachers in school, just minutes after my girlfriend of the last three months, two weeks and four days left me hangin’ and ran off with the Drooler.
How fortunes turn.
"It’s this way," Ms. Bell said over her shoulder. I followed just a little behind her, so I could watch her juicy ass swish in her skirt. "You don’t know how much I appreciate the help. These boxes are really heavy, and the supply guy always sticks the ones I need on the very top shelves."
She turned a little when she spoke, and I snapped my gaze up to her face. She caught me looking, I think, but she smiled and I blushed a little.
"Here we are."
She stopped by the door to a storeroom that was a couple halls over from my locker and picked through a batch of keys. She unlocked the door and ushered me inside. The door shut behind us with a click, and I could hear her breathing next to me in the dark.
I took a long, slow breath of my own, smelling her sweet perfume. Memories of all those days sitting alone with her in class came rushing back. Then she swore and I heard something heavy fall over.
"Shit. Oh...sorry. I didn’t say that."
I laughed a little as she rustled around.
"I can never find the light switch in here."
Something soft bumped into my hip.
"Oops. Sorry."
Her arm brushed against mine, and when the soft material of her blouse touched my skin, my dick went berserk.
Then the lights went on.
We were in a small room lined from the floor to the ceiling with shelving overflowing with boxes of school supplies. Ms. Bell grinned at me and pointed at a light hand-truck leaning against the wall.
"We’ll put the boxes on that, so you don’t have to carry them."
"Okay."
She pulled out a stepladder and climbed up, balancing on her tippy-toes. Her high heels made her a little wobbly as she stretched out and tugged on a cardboard box.
I couldn’t understand how she could walk in those things, much less stand on a ladder, but she managed it. From my view, her long legs seemed to go on forever, and I stood like an idiot, watching. The hem of her blouse pulled out of the band of her skirt as she stretched and pulled, and I was treated to a nice, if quick, glimpse of her soft, creamy white belly.
She managed to lever the box off the shelf, and almost dropped it on my head. Somehow I managed to catch it; a feat that was just as impressive as her climbing the ladder in her heels. Her hands flew to her mouth with equal parts concern and embarrassment.
"Oh, God! Devin, I’m sorry! Are you okay?"
I plopped the box on the floor next to the hand-truck and shoved it into place with my foot.
"Yeah..." I grunted. "I’m fine. Are you sure you don’t want me to do that instead?"
She was already busy tugging on another box.
"I...think...I’m okay..."
By the time I’d dropped the first box on the hand-truck, she was stretched out full-length, with one foot lifted off the ladder. Her shoe slipped off her foot and dangled from her toes, and she grunted as she pulled and wiggled the box, trying to slide it to the edge of the shelf.
"I’ve...uff...had to do this...by myself...uff...for the last...uhhff...few weeks..." She gave the box a good, hard tug, and her hands slipped. "Hooo...!"
The heavy box fell, almost knocking the ladder over. It teeter-tottered precariously one way, then the other, and she lurched backwards with her arms pin-wheeling for balance. I couldn’t reach the ladder in time to support her, and she slipped and fell, her arms spinning wildly.
Her ass smacked me dead in the face.
As I’ve said, I’m not a small kid, and I’m in pretty good shape. I’ve been on the varsity wrestling team since my freshman year, and I work out or play basketball almost every day. But the impact of her butt mashing into my face snapped my head back, hard.
"Ooomph!"
Somehow, I managed to catch her around her waist and let her slide - slowly - down. She ‘ooophed’ too, and when she was safely on the floor, I held her still until she got her breath back. I tried to block out the pain that was shooting back into my skull from my nose, but I knew there were tears in my eyes when she finally turned around.
"Oh, God! Devin! Are you okay? You’re bleeding!"
She touched the tip of my nose, softly, with her fingertip. I jerked my head away and hissed in pain.
"I’m fine. Really. Just...don’t do that again."
I gently ran my hand over my nose. It was tender and swelling and my eyes were still watering, but nothing felt broken or dislocated.
I’ve had a few accidents during my wrestling career, and this wasn’t bad.
I could live with having her butt shoved into my face.
"Are you sure? I heard you grunt like..."
"No, really. I’m okay." I wiped the blood away and pushed her back at arms length, in case she got any other ideas. "How about you?"
She looked herself up and down, and nodded.
"I’m all right."
"Good," I said, and started up the ladder. The damn thing never tipped over. "My turn now. Just stand back and I’ll finish getting this loaded up." I yanked the crummy box of the shelf and walked back down the ladder. "How many of these do you need?"
Five heavy boxes later, I parked the hand-truck in her classroom and left the boxes next to her desk.
"That’s perfect," she said. "Here."
She gave me the keys to the storage room and I took back the truck while she started unpacking. By the time I got back to her room, she was working on the second box.
"Ms. Bell? Is there anything else I can do for you?" I asked, dropping her keys on her desk. "It’s kinda late, and I think I missed my bus. I should probably get going."
She looked up from the mountain of packing Styrofoam and smiled, gracing me with a great tit shot, right down her blouse. I couldn’t help staring. Her breasts jiggled in her bra as she dumped the static-sticky little peanuts into a big plastic garbage bag. They were a lot bigger than I’d thought.
This time I was sure she caught me looking.
"Linda. Please. We’ve known each other long enough that you can call me Linda. ‘Ms. Bell’ is starting to make me feel old, like I’m the goofy old neighborhood lady who lives in the big, creepy house with a dozen cats and talks to herself." She laughed self-consciously, like she knew what kids said about her, and held up the bag. "Here. If you help me unpack this stuff, I’ll give you a ride home."
"Really?"
"As long as you don’t mind riding with your teacher."
"Sure, okay." I said, my eyes threatening to drift back down to her cleavage. I half-wished she’d sit up, but my dick informed me that I was an idiot to ever think that, and advised me to enjoy the view.
I think she eyed my bulging crotch - just for a second - and smiled before going back to work.
ÂÂ
About forty-five minutes later, we pulled up to the curb in front of my house in her old VW beetle.
It was still light out, and warm, but the leaves were turning gold and crimson and air had the crisp feel of fall. She hunched down, leaned over me and peered out of the passenger window to admire my house. My dick almost ripped out of my jeans, and I literally got dizzy as the blood drained from my head. Her soft hair brushed my chin as I opened the door and stepped out.
"See you Monday Ms. Bell." Somehow, I managed a weak smile.
"Linda."
I grinned and my dick twitched like a snake that’s just had its head chopped off.
"Right. Sorry." I agreed. "Linda."
"Thanks again Devin. Sorry I squished you."
I wanted to climb back into her car and tell her that she could squish me anytime she wanted. But instead I blushed and shut the car door.
She waved and I stepped back onto the sidewalk.
I live in an older neighborhood, full of big, old bungalows and Victorians. Our house is on a corner lot at the bottom of a hill. Just a few blocks away there’s an elementary school with a big public park, and a popular golf course that takes up several city blocks.
The mother of one of my old friends appeared at the top of the hill, just as Linda beeped her horn and turned the corner.
I met John and his little brother Steve at the park when I was five. My family used to live right across the street, and one day I was there, swinging, when John shoved his brother off the merry-go-round. His mom, Ingrid, yelled and punished him, and John shuffled dejectedly over to the swings.
We were the same age, and we were instant buddies.
Eventually my family moved, buying a house just two doors down from John and his folks.
John’s family, I discovered, were a little odd. They were the family that everybody else in the neighborhood talked about in hushed tones.
John’s dad just never spoke.
At all.
Both he and John’s mom were fitness fiends. Whenever I saw John’s dad, he was working out. Once, John showed me an old trophy that he claimed his dad won at a bodybuilding competition back in the seventies, and a blurry, black and white photo of a huge, muscle-bound guy that didn’t look anything like his dad.
John’s mom was from Germany. She and his dad met mountain climbing in Switzerland, and she moved back here with him after she got pregnant. She was a nurse in Germany, but had an awful time finding work here.
They had a lousy marriage.
I think John was about seven when they divorced. His dad kept the house here, and she took the kids and moved back home.
A few years later (for some reason John could never figure out), they moved back, and John’s dad moved out. This time, Steve went to live with his dad. But John stayed with his mom, and he quickly turned into a thug.
John inherited his dad’s thick, muscular build and his mom’s height. By the time he was twelve he probably stood around six feet tall, and he was already into some serious drugs. That was when he started hanging out with a really rough crowd. He barely made it through his freshman year, and things just got worse, especially with his mom nagging him all the time. When he started ripping off cars and stealing to support his habit, we pretty much stopped hanging out.
He spent a lot of time in juvie, and his mom spent a lot of time crying, wondering what she did to turn him into the big, violent creep he was becoming.
My mom was always nice to Ingrid (unlike most of the other people who lived in the neighborhood), I think partly because she felt bad for her. She always called her Inga. To this day, I think I’m the only person outside of her family who knew her first name.
Ingrid had few things in common with her ex-husband, as far as I could tell, except for their kids and excercise. She never failed to take a long walk every night around six or seven o’clock, when it started to cool down. Over this last summer, I usually saw her leave the house dressed in a little tank top, satin running shorts and tennis shoes. She wasn’t a pretty woman, really, but striking. She was tall, lean and long, graceful, and she carried herself with kind of a regal bearing, which is one reason I figured the neighbors didn’t like her; I think she threatened them. She wore her light blonde hair unflatteringly hacked off just above her shoulders, and always had a dissaproving, pinched look to her face, like she’d just tasted something sour.
I never noticed any effort by her to appear feminine or attractive.
But over the summer, the sun had turned her freckled skin a nice, golden brown, and her hair almost glowed with light blonde streaks. The pale blue satin shorts she wore on her walks emphasized the smooth muscles in her butt, legs and calves. And today, instead of her usual tank top, her perky breasts were packed into a white sports bra. Her footie-socks had little balls of blue cotton that bounced at the back of her sneakers as she loped down the hill towards me.
"Devin!" She greeted me with a smile and stopped to watch Linda drive away. "Who was that?"
"One of my teachers. I stayed late today to help her with some stuff, so she gave me a ride."
"That was nice of her," she said.
"Yeah. Hey, how’s John?" I asked.
She frowned. Her German accent was thick when she finally answered.
"Johnny...Johnny was arrested again."
I didn’t know what to say to that. John had been arrested continuously over the last few years.
"Really? I’m sorry."
"He’s going to be sent to jail for...for a long time, I think. He..." she swallowed; her thin lips trembled as if she were fighting back tears. "He was caught stealing a car, and he was full of the drugs. He fought a policeman! Did I raise my sons to be like this? To have no respect?"
I didn’t know what to say, so I shrugged. "I’m sure he’ll be okay, Ingrid." Somehow, that seemed to calm her down. She sniffled and smiled at me.
"After, he doesn’t want to come back home. H says he’s going to live with his father, just like Stephen. I’ll never see my boys again." She sniffled again and wiped her eyes. "You’re a good boy, Devin. I wish my Johnny would’ve been more like you."
I felt sorry for her. I think she tried to be a good mom. For some reason, I gave her a hug, and she collapsed against me and bawled like a baby on my shoulder.
"It’s all my fault," she sobbed. "I...I don’t know what to do..."
"I’m sorry..." I said, and rubbed her back. I felt her shoulder blades under her shirt, felt her body trembling against me, and I started to get horny. My dick slowly pushed out of the top of my jeans, and I tried to back my hips away from her so she wouldn’t notice my boner.
Eventually, she cried herself out.
She wiped her eyes, smiled, and gave my cheek a little kiss.
My dick throbbed.
"Johnny’s going to be home this weekend to pack his things. You should come and have dinner with us and help me say goodbye."
"Oh. Well. I don’t know..." I shuffled my feet and tried to back out of this as gracefully as I could.
"Please? You’re my Johnny’s best friend. I...I don’t think I can..."
She started to cry again. I took her by the shoulders and gave her a little smile.
"Okay. Sure. I’ll be there. When?"
She sniffled again. "Tomorrow? I’ll send Johnny by?"
"Sure. Sounds good."
"Thank you. Thank you, Devin."
She smiled happily, and I swear, she almost skipped home.
I exhaled with a whoosh.
"The shit I get myself into." I laughed at myself, and went inside to jack off.
That afternoon I told my folks what was going on, and they both wished me luck. Ingrid’s an awful cook besides being a health fiend, and I’ve suffered through many an interesting meal over at John’s.
He used to live to spend the night at my house, just so he could eat normal food.
The first time he stayed with us, he ate two boxes of Fruity Puffs and a dozen donuts in one sitting. And God bless my mom. John loved her, partly because she always covered for his sugar high when he went home to soybean pancakes and tofu bacon.
Needless to say, I was not looking forward to dinner.
John ambled over around six o’clock. His eyes were puffy red slits and I could smell the pot cloud that surrounded him as soon as he stepped through the door. Having been a hippy in the sixties, my mom wasn’t a fool about drugs. She wrinkled her nose when John gave her a hug hello, but she smiled and they talked for a few minutes.
"Well. You take care John." She said, finally. I wanted to get going and get this over with.
She patted my shoulder and gave me an encouraging smile.
"Enjoy dinner."
"S’up, Dev?" John bopped my fist.
I shook my head.
"Not much."
What the hell do you say to a guy who you haven’t seen in three years, a day before he goes to jail? Have fun? Write soon?
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Yeah, sure. What?"
He squinted at me and lit a cigarette.
"What the fuck did you say to my mom yesterday?"
"Huh?" I didn’t know what he was talking about.
"She’s all dressed up, like the fucking mom in Leave It to Beaver, dancing around the house with this shit-eating grin on her face. It’s like I’m going off to college instead a’ jail." He took a deep drag and puffed out a swirling ring of smoke. "So what the fuck did you talk to her about, dude?"
"Nothing. I just stood there. She talked. She was upset about you."
He shook his head and took another deep drag, flicking ashes into the breeze. His cigarette was already half gone.
"Crazy."
We reached his house just as it was getting dark. John reached over and unlatched the gate to their driveway. The gate swung in with a squeal, and we stood outside while he finished his smoke.
"You ready for dinner?"
I grinned. At least we still had this in common.
"I dunno. What’s cooking?"
He grinned back, dropped his smoldering butt on the cement and ground it out with the toe of his boot.
"Some nasty shit." He sighed. "You’d think I could at least get a real fuckin’ dinner on my last night here."
He clapped me on the shoulder.
"C’mon in. I’ve still gotta pack up some stuff. We can toke out for a while ‘till the shit’s ready."
The side door opened onto a landing which led in two directions: downstairs, where John’s dad used to keep his weights, and up a few steps to a swinging door and the main floor of the house.
John hopped up the steps and smacked the door open.
"Hey, Ma! Devin’s here!"
He led me down a short hallway, and whispered, "Check her out."
I peeked around the corner. Ingrid was in the kitchen, a daisy-decorated potholder pulled over her hand, bent over the open stove, giving me a nice view of her ass.
John wasn’t kidding.
Ingrid was wearing a black dress with a full skirt that was a good thirty years out of fashion, with black stockings and heels. She’d curled the tips of her hair, and a string of tiny pearls gleamed around her neck. I could see a matching set of earrings under her bobbed hair. She stood up and almost floated over to me, her skirt swirling around her long legs. She gave me a bone-crushing hug, and a flowery perfume over-powered the rancid smell of whatever was cooking in the stove.
She saw me and broke into a giddy smile.
"Devin! I’m so glad you could come tonight!"
John rolled his bloodshot eyes and I stiffly patted her back.
"C’mon, Mom. Let Dev go. We’re gonna head upstairs ‘till dinner’s done, okay?"
Ingrid let me out of her clinch, and grinned.
"Good, good. Dinner will be ready soon."
"Cool. C’mon up, Dev."
I followed John up to his room. He pushed open his door and crashed on his filthy bed. I settled into the captain’s chair by his battered old desk while he lit up a huge bong and took a hit. The aroma didn’t smell like pot to me, but I guessed that I could of been mistaken; it’d been a long while since I’d smoked anything.
"See what I mean?" He grunted, and offered me a puff.
I took a nice long hit, held the smoke in for a second, and coughed.
"Yeah."
Definitely not pot. Whatever it was though, it was nice and smooth.
John opened a window and waved for the bong.
"Should you be doing that?" I asked. "I mean, y’know, since you’re..."
"Going to jail?" He grinned and puffed away. "Shit. What’re they gonna do, bust me again?"
I shrugged and looked at the bong.
"What is that stuff?"
He kicked off his shoes.
"Hash."
My eyes popped open.
"S’matter? Don’t you like it?"
I was already feeling pretty good.
"It’s...it’s not bad."
He blew smoke out the window and laughed.
"What?"
He laughed harder.
"I bet you could fuck her."
"Who?"
"My mom."
He must be stoned, I thought, and giggled.
"No way."
John rolled over on his back and pillowed his head in his hands. He grinned at me and wiggled his feet.
"Yeah. I bet you could. She’s got the fuckin’ hots for you, dude. That’s probably why she’s all dressed up."
"Naw."
"Think about it. She’s wearing fucking nylons, man. I haven’t seen her dressed like this since... since..." He stared at the ceiling, trying to remember. "Fuck. Forever, dude. I think I remember her an’ my dad going out to dinner once when I was little. For an anniversary, maybe? I dunno. It’s been a long fuckin’ time."
"Quit shitting me."
"I’m not. You know what?" He grinned and hiccupped. "She’s got some nice titties."
I felt my eyes bug out, and my jaw dropped.
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
"No, seriously. Dude, I’ve seen her when she gets out of the shower, after she gets back from her walks. She’s got nice tits. Her ass is okay, too." He laughed again. "You thinkin’ she doesn’t shave?"
I blinked at him. "What?"
He shrugged. "Well, y’know. She’s German an’ all. But she shaves her pits and her legs. Really. I know her face’s butt-ugly, but you could just bend her over the counter and..."
Just then, a soft knock at the door. I pushed the bong behind my chair as Ingrid poked her head into the room.
"Dinner’s ready! Why don’t you boys wash up?"
John was giggling so hard he couldn’t talk, so I piped up.
"We’ll be down in a minute."
Ingrid smiled happily and we heard her heels clicking down the wood stairs.
"She’s not that ugly..." I started, and John burst out laughing.
"HA!" His feet flopped around. "You would fuck her!"
"John, she’s your mom, man. What the hell are you talking about?"
A light went on behind his bleary eyes.
"Dude! I know! Here, I’ll get something to help you."
He rolled back over and slid off his bed. There was a small door next to his desk that led to a storage area that ran along the entire side of the house. When we were kids, it was our secret agent hide-out. For the last few years, John used it to hide his stash.
"Here," he said, and shoved a big, folded cardboard box at me.
I opened it up.
"Holy crap. John."
"I’m not gonna need any of that shit for a while. It’s all yours."
"Look man, I can’t..."
"Yeah, yeah. Yeah you can. Use it to fuck her. There’s at least a years worth of acid and a bunch of other shit in there. Some dude gave me a ton of that date rape drug too. Where the fuck did I put it..."
He dug around in the box and pulled out blotters of acid, little packets of stuff that looked like sugar, and baggies of white powder and pot. He found a packet of the sugary stuff, shook it and stuffed it in his pocket, grinning wickedly.
"That should do it. C’mon. We’ll get her fucked up. If we’re lucky, we won’t even have to eat the crap she made."
He scrambled up.
"You’re gonna drug your mom." I shook my head.
"Yep. And we’re gonna screw her."
"What? You..."
"Dude. I’m horny. Pussy’s pussy. And I ain’t gonna be gettin’ any for a long fucking time."
I sat there with the open box in my lap.
"C’mon Dev. Let’s go."
Ingrid fussed as we got ready to eat.
"Johnny, you sit here, and Devin, you sit there..."
John got the chair at the head of the table. His mom sat to his right, across from me. She spread her napkin in her lap and smiled at me, then bent her head to say grace. I watched John roll his eyes and whisper obscenities at her until she finished.
She looked up and smiled. The table looked as dressed up and ready for a formal party as she did.
"Okay. Johnny, will you serve us, please?"
John grinned at me.
"Yeah, sure mom." He picked up a large, covered serving dish, and paused. "Hey, mom, could you get me one of those big fork things?"
"Oh." She looked around the table. "I thought I laid out..."
"Nope."
"I’ll be right back."
She left her napkin and walked back to the kitchen. John pulled out the little packet from his pocket and tore it open, then dumped the powder into her glass of water.
"John!" I whispered. "Shit! Don’t..."
He grinned and held his finger up to his lips, then used it to stir her water. He gave me a thumbs-up, and pulled a serving fork out from under the table.
"Hey, mom! I found it!"
Ingrid clicked back in from the kitchen.
"It was here all the time."
He pulled the cover off the platter and wrinkled his nose. Steam rose from what looked like dirt brown sawdust that had been formed into something resembling pork chops.
"Smells...good." My stomach flip-flopped when John handed me my plate of...stuff. "What, uh, what’s for dinner?"
Ingrid beamed.
"Soy steaks. I know you boys like meat, but it’s so bad for you. This is much better. It’s good food for you. It will help you be strong men. Don’t wait for me...go ahead." She waved her hands in the air. "Eat."
John was busy staring at his plate, poking at the brown crap with his fork. He looked as queasy as I felt. But I took a bite, and somehow managed to choke it down between gulps of water. I reached for the pitcher in the middle of the table and re-filled my glass.
"Whew!" Thank God John hadn’t poured the drugs into the pitcher. I was going to need a lot of water to get this shit down.
"Good, yes?" Ingrid took a dainty bite and smiled.
I was struggling to appear gracious in the face of desperation. So I hope I can be forgiven for forgetting about the drugs in her water, at least for the moment.
Ingrid reached for her glass and guzzled half of it before I could say anything.
John grinned at his plate of slop.
Nothing I can do now, I thought. So I crossed my fingers and tried the salad.
Halfway through the meal, she started to sweat.
"Oh, my." She dabbed at her forehead with her napkin. "It’s much too warm in here, isn’t it?
John looked up. Somehow he’d managed not to touch much of anything on his plate.
"It’s okay. You all right mom?"
She clutched the table and blinked at us.
"I...I don’t feel...very...well."
John pushed back his chair and stood up.
"Must be the dinner, mom. Spoiled soybean shit can fuck you up."
She was out of it.
"I feel so...odd...you shouldn’t talk like that...Johnny..."
John walked over to her as her head started to roll. He grabbed her hair and yanked her head back. Her eyes fluttered, and a thin line of spit drooled out of the corner of her mouth.
"I gave her enough to fuck her up for the rest of the night. Watch."
John smacked her face with the back of his hand, and she groaned.
"Shit! John, knock it off."
"She can’t even feel it. Here, let’s check her out."
He grabbed the front of her dress and yanked it open. He pulled the ripped material down to her waist, pinning her flailing arms to her sides.
I have to admit, I must’ve been really stoned to even think about going through with this shit. But when I saw her rosy, pink nipples behind the black lace of her bra, my dick about burst out of my jeans.
"See?" He leaned over, grabbed her tits and gave ‘em each a good squeeze.
He was right. They weren’t all that big, but they were a nice, firm handful. And perky.
"Move the shit on the table. I wanna lay her down."
I shoved plates and glasses out of the way, and John pulled his mom out of her chair and bent her face-first over her dining room table.
His breath hissed between his teeth as he rucked her skirt up over her hips.
"Gimme that knife."
"Wha...?"
"The sharp one. I’m gonna cut through this shit."
I handed him the knife and watched him slice a hole in his mom’s nylons, and then her panties. My chest hitched as he tossed the knife onto the floor and tore the hole wider, until her first her crotch was exposed, then her ass.
He leaned back and smacked it. I watched it jiggle as she moaned and clutched at her white linen tablecloth.
"Fuck. Look at that."
John glanced up at me, and his eyes were dead cold. He wrapped one hand around his mom’s neck and pinned her to the table, and dropped his pants with the other. His dick popped out of his boxer shorts, already red and swollen.
"Me first," he grinned, and then shoved his cock deep into his moms pussy.
Her eyes popped open, and she screamed silently, her fists knotting in the tablecloth. She kicked and squirmed; the toes of her shoes scraping on the wood floor, but John just grabbed her ass, pulled her closer, and closed his eyes.
"Awww, yeah."
I watched him dork his mom for a minute, my dick throbbing. She was making little mewling sounds, and her ass rippled with each of his thrusts.
And I decided: what the fuck, I wanted some, too.
So I climbed up onto the table, and pulled down my pants and my underwear. My cock fell on top of her head, and I grabbed her by the ears and pulled her face up so it was level with my dick. John grinned and grabbed her boobs to help prop her up. She swallowed and sputtered as I rubbed my dick around on her face, and her hands grabbed and clenched at my pants.
I squeezed her cheeks until her lips opened, and pushed myself into her warm, wet mouth.
"Ahhh...Damn, that feels good."
She kicked harder, but didn’t bite down. John was fucking her hard now, grunting and pounding into her. I relaxed and let my hips do the walking, feeling the muscles in her throat constrict as I eased further in.
Ingrid looked up at me with pleading, glassy eyes while we nailed her from each end. My balls twitched and clenched, and just that fast, I came in her mouth, shooting off a huge load.
"Fuck..." I whispered to myself, pulling her face as close to me as I could.
I enjoyed my orgasm, feeling her throat constrict as she tried to swallow my cum. A little bit of spooge dribbled out of her mouth and down her neck. Her hands were wrapped around my ass and her whole body was stiff with either pain or the drugs, I couldn’t tell which. I popped out of her mouth as John started smacking her ass.
"Goddamn fucking bitch!" He was screaming as he hit her, her ass quickly turning a bright pink. "Screw with me? You fucking bitch! Turn me in to the goddamn cops! Fuck you! Ghuhrrrhhhahh!!"
John grabbed her ass like he was trying to peel an orange, sinking his fingers deep into her soft flesh. I saw blood seep around his fingernails as her skin tore, and he jerked a few times, groaning like an animal. Then he shoved her body back onto the table and laughed.
"Oh, fuck! That felt so fucking awesome!"
His mom slipped off the table, smacking her chin on the edge as she fell. I heard her teeth clack together, and she fell in a heap on the dining room floor.
John laughed harder and stroked his dick. Ingrid absent-mindedly wiped the spooge and blood off her chin, and started crawling blindly towards the living room.
The sight of her hips up in the air sent my dick raging again, and I rolled off the table, right on top of her, shoving her into the floor. Because of her stockings, Ingrid’s feet couldn’t get any purchase on the smooth wood floor, and she scrambled, kicking and clawing, making her ass rub against my cock. I stretched out on her back, spit on my hand, then reached down and lubed up my dick. I pinned her down and let my penis slide around until I found her butthole.
She let out a hoarse scream as I wedged myself into her ass. A few good, hard pushes, and I was in, nice and snug.
John stepped around in front of her and sat on his butt, locking her arms under his knees and cradling her head in his lap. I wrapped my arms around her waist and started fucking her ass, slowly grinding my hips into her, taking my time. I let my hand drift down until I was cupping her pussy. Her pubic hair was soft and curly, and was so thick it felt like she never trimmed it. I toyed with her pussy until her clit poked against my probing fingers.
Ingrid stopped fighting, and I was surprised to hear her moan around John’s dick as it slid into her mouth.
The rest of the night, we took our time. Just two stoned, horny teenage boys, alone with a woman who we could do whatever we wanted to with. We fucked her for hours, finally calling it a night around two in the morning. Somehow the three of us ended up in the living room. John and I were completely naked. He was sprawled out on the couch, half asleep, and I sat on the floor with my head resting against the side of a chair. My dick was lying flopped over my thigh, scraped raw and stinging. Ingrid had passed out next to me with her head in my lap, her old dress and her underwear torn to shreds.
John was staring at her.
"You should probably head home," he said. "I’m gonna have to figure out a way to explain this shit to her when she sobers up."
He was right. How the fuck were we gonna explain all the bruises and cuts on her body? Or her clothes?
"How the hell are we going to do that?"
He shrugged.
"I dunno. But I’ll think of something. It’d probably be a good idea for you to leave though."
"But...I could..."
"What? Get arrested for raping my mom with me? No fucking way."
"John look..."
He tossed my shirt at me.
"Dev, really. Get dressed and go home."
I stood up and Ingrid’s head bonked on the floor. She just moaned in her sleep.
"And don’t forget the box." I shook my head, but he waved his hand at me. "I’m serious. If you get horny, use that shit. We always keep the basement windows unlocked. Just sneak in some night when she’s at work, drop some in her water or tea or whatever, and hang out for a while. If you wait long enough she’ll never know what happened, and you can get your rocks off whenever you want to." He yawned and rubbed his eyes with his knuckles. "Hey. Promise me something?"
"Sure. What?" I pulled on my underwear and went looking for my pants.
"Be sure to tell me if you do it again. Cool?"
I nodded.
"Cool."
ÂÂ
I didn’t see John again before he left. Or his mom. Somehow a rumor started making the rounds through the neighborhood that John had gotten stoned out of his mind and then beaten Ingrid up badly enough that she had to go to the hospital. I started feeling guilty as soon as I heard it from my mom.
To this day, I still don’t know how John feels about what we did.
And then Monday rolled around, and back to school I went.
My next week was pretty uneventful. I spent my lunch periods hanging out with my friends and avoiding Cara and Keith, who suddenly seemed attached at the hip. By Friday, I’d heard through the grapevine that Keith had already cheated on Cara with a couple of cheerleaders, and he was going to drop out of school and try to get a job as a bouncer at one of the underage strip clubs downtown.
Go Keith.
On friday afternoon, Ms. Bell corralled me after class and asked me to help her again.
I said sure. Why not?
Today she was wearing a dark blue blouse with shoulder pads and a tight, light grey skirt over the kind of black stockings with the little line running down the back of her legs. A fragile gold chain hung from her neck, dangling in her cleavage, and thin gold hoop earrings flashed when she turned her head.
I followed her back to the storeroom, the clicking of her high heels on the tile floor reminding me of Ingrid walking around in her kitchen. By the time she unlocked the door, I had a boner stretching out my pants.
My dick was so hard it hurt.
She brought out the ladder and started up again, but this time I stopped her with one of my hands on her arm, and my other around her waist.
"I don’t think so, Ms. Be...uh...Linda. Not like last week. Okay?"
She smiled.
"All right."
I filled up the hand-truck and hauled another batch of the heavy boxes to her room. We spent the next hour or two unpacking, and she told me stories about living in Europe while she was in college. Finally, I stood up and stretched, popping my back.
"Look," she said. "It’s dark again. Would you like another ride?"
The clock said six-thirty. There wouldn’t be another bus for at least half an hour.
"Sure. That’d be great."
"I have to run by my house first, if that’s okay."
I think I blushed. I know I smiled.
"Sure. No problem."
Linda lived a few miles from school in the opposite direction from my house, in a small apartment complex that had converted to condominiums. We pulled into the parking lot and she led me to a tidy, two floor condo. She unlocked the door and I followed her inside.
As soon as she opened the door, I heard the squawks. When she flicked on the lights, I found myself in a tiny living room, full of comfortable, feminine furniture. In a cage hanging from a metal post was a brilliant red parrot, who took one look at me and squawked again.
"Cutie-pie! Cutie-pie!" It climbed the bars of its gage and recited that phrase over and over, staring me up and down.
"He likes you," said Linda. "He doesn’t usually like men."
"Oh?"
"Mm-hmm." She held out a bag of sunflower seeds. "Here. Why don’t you feed him? He’ll love you forever."
I grinned and took a small handful of kernels from the bag. Then I thought of every parrot I’ve ever seen at pet stores. They always have some freaky sign taped to their cages, warning people to stay away or they’ll bite. I paused.
"How should I do this?
"Just move slowly, so you don’t scare him, and rest your hand next to his cage."
"Okay."
I pressed the side of my hand on the bars of his cage, with the seeds resting on my open palm.
"What’s his name?"
"Bert."
I laughed.
"Like..." I started.
"Ernie and."
She grinned back at me as Bert sidled closer to my hand. He looked at me sideways, ruffling his feathers.
"Cutie-pie!" He croaked, and gently nibbled at a sunflower seed, poking his sharp beak through the cage bars.
"Ernie lives with my sister in France." Linda watched Bert crack open the seed and discard the shell. "Sometimes Bert gets lonely here all by himself. Don’t you Sweetie-pie?"
She cooed at her bird, and he pressed the top of his head against the cage. She kissed him, and he bounced around, squawking happily.
"He likes to dance. See?"
"Cookie! Cookie for Bert!" He repeated, doing a little sidestep.
"Cute," I said.
Linda smiled at me.
"How would you like a quick tour?"
The place looked about as big as a shoe box. But why not?
"Uh, sure?"
She showed me her tiny kitchen and her dining room. Other than the living room, that was pretty much it for downstairs. Then she took me upstairs and showed me her office, which consisted of a nice old roll top desk with a comfy chair, a small home theater system and a couch that were tucked into the spare bedroom. There was a tiny bathroom by the stairs, and she almost - almost - let me peek in her bedroom.
"Oh, shit." She shut the door in a hurry. I barely saw a pink comforter draped over a large, neatly made bed. "Sorry. Too messy."
We stood in the hallway, inches apart, and a sudden, uncomfortable silence fell between us.
"Umm. So...so you live here all alone?" I asked.
"Yes. Well, usually. Except for Bert, I..."
A telephone rang in her study.
"Excuse me," she said, and left me alone to study pictures of her and another, younger woman, both bundled up for cold weather, smiling happily at the camera. I recognized the Eiffel tower in the background of a couple photos. The woman looked a little bit like Linda, but nowhere near as severe. I assumed it was her sister.
In the other room, I could hear Linda trying to pacify whoever had called.
"I’ll be right there, Mrs. Kline. In just a minute. I have a guest...No. It’s no trouble. Of course. I will. Bye-bye."
Linda hung up, and when she stepped out of the room she smiled like she was afraid I’d left while she was talking.
"I think I interrupted something important." I said.
"Oh no. That was Mrs. Kline. She lives next door. We usually have dinner together on Friday nights, because her kids can’t get here on the weekends. I told her I might be late tonight, but she was getting worried. I just need to run over there for a minute, and then we can go. Do...would you like to meet her? She’s really a sweet lady..."
"Actually," I hooked my thumb at the bathroom. "Would you mind if I use your restroom instead? I had a huge soda at lunch, and..."
She grinned.
"Go right ahead. I’m going to run over and take her some dinner, though. You don’t mind waiting for me?"
I shook my head.
"Not a bit."
She rustled around downstairs while I stood over the toilet. There was a fluffy pink seat-cover on the lid that kept knocking it closed, so I had to piss bent over, holding the stupid lid up.
I was shaking the last drops out when I heard the front door open, and Linda shouted up the stairs. "I’ll be back in a few minutes!"
"Okay!" I yelled back, then I buttoned my jeans and flushed the toilet. The house was quiet, and I started downstairs to hang out with Bert, but something stopped me after the first step.
There’s no way I can explain the urge that made me turn around and open her bedroom door.
But that’s exactly what I did.
I turned on the light and looked around.
Linda’s bedroom, like the rest of her house, was immaculate and girly; from the ruffled pink fringe on her bedspread to her choice of pictures to her antique furniture. But it was the roomiest room in the house, and it had its own bathroom that was decked out in more frilly pink.
"Looks okay to me," I said to myself. "I don’t see what the...problem...was..."
In the other corner of the room was a heavy wood contraption, pushed up against the wall.
"What the fuck...?"
I stepped over to it and ran my hand along the gleaming wood of the top bar.
"Holy shit."
Linda had a rack. A real life, straight out of the middle-ages, lock you up to punish you rack. Or a stockade, I guess.
Whatever.
The thing that you lock some poor idiots head and arms into, bending them over into a...uncomfortably compromising position.
You know what I mean.
"What the hell do you use this for, Linda?"
Backing away from her...torture device, I bumped into the corner of her dresser, knocking over some small framed photos.
"Shit!"
I straightened up, trying to put everything back in the same spots, and the urge hit me again.
"Let’s see what we’ve got in here."
I opened a drawer. Inside were carefully folded blouses, and a box of knickknacks.
Downstairs, Bert let out a squawk, and I almost jumped out of my skin. I shut the drawer and listened, my heart racing, but Bert quieted down.
"Shit," I said, sweating a little. I swallowed around a hitch in my throat, and tried another, smaller drawer. "Oh, yeah."
I found a drawer full of lacy underwear. I ran my hands over Linda’s panties, and I got an instant boner. I was having trouble breathing, and my hands started to shake.
"Oh, God."
Suddenly, all I wanted to do was jack off, right then and there. Taking a deep breath, I managed to pull myself back together.
First, I thought, ‘I gotta tell the guys about this’, but then I realized nobody’d believe me.
I needed a trophy, for proof. I almost just grabbed the first thing I saw, but some barely functioning part of my brain made me pull back my hand before I took anything.
"No. Not the stuff she wears."
Flipping through the stacks of bra’s and panties, I found a lacy black g-string crumpled into a ball way at the back of the drawer, and a matching, see-through, push up bra. I pulled them both out of the drawer, and shook them out.
I smelled them, inhaling deeply, then held them up to the light, letting them dangle in my hands.
They were so enticing; I almost forgot where I was.
Bert squawked again downstairs, and I jumped and shoved the undies into my pockets. I walked as quickly as I could to the door, but the house was still quiet.
"Fuck," I said, wiping my forehead. "Damn bird."
I knew I was pushing my luck and I was going to turn off the light and leave, but her closet caught my eye. I glanced over the railing at the front door, and decided to gamble.
"Let’s see what we’ve got in here..."
Linda had a typical walk-in closet, with sliding doors that pulled open. Dresses and a few tailored suits with matching skirts hung from a pole on one side, with her high heel shoes and a pair of running shoes lined up on the floor.
But the other side...
I whistled.
"Holy shit."
Hanging on the other side of the closet were uniforms: leather bondage gear, a French maid outfit, and a nurses uniform. Hung from a rack on the wall was a ton of S&M gear: leather masks, ball gags, whips and riding crops, handcuffs and padded leather shackles, dildoes of all sizes and shapes. Bottles of lubricant and a fishbowl full of condoms sat on a small dresser.
I blinked, and my mouth fell open. I picked up a pair of the heavy leather shackles. The long, thin chains tinkled. One of the dildoes had fallen off the tabletop, and I picked it up. It flopped over in my hand, and I looked at Linda’s bed, realizing that hidden under her sweet, girlie bedclothes was a sturdy steel bed frame and headrest.
"OhMyGod. She’s a fucking bondage queen."
I was so enthralled with my discovery that I hadn’t heard the front door open. I was standing there with her chains and her dildo when Linda stepped into the room.
"Devin?" The shock on her face almost made me drop the sex toys. "What are you doing?"
"I, uh...I just...found these..." I stuttered, and the big rubber penis flopped around again. I felt my face and neck burn and turn bright red.
Her face got hard and cold.
"Put those down right now. I’m taking you home."
ÂÂ
That was the most uncomfortable car ride of my life.
Neither of us spoke. Linda stared straight ahead, her pale face flushed and both of her small hands gripped the steering wheel.
For the most part, I just tried to disappear into my seat. I cleared my throat once, and she clenched her teeth tight enough that the small muscles along her jaw popped.
I shut up the rest of the way home.
She squealed to a stop next to my house, and I tried to apologize.
"Linda, look, I’m sorry. I really didn’t..."
"Ms. Bell."
"Wha...oh. Okay. Ms. Bell, I’m s..."
"Get out of my car. Right... now...!"
"Please, I let m..."
"GET OUT!"
I got out.
As soon as I shut the door, she revved the noisy little engine, and then I was alone. Dejected, I stuck my hands in my pockets, and grinned when my fingers wrapped around my plundered trophies.
The next week was pretty rough.
Apparently Cara didn’t think I’d been fucked up enough after she broke up with me, so every chance she got, she made a point of flinging herself at Keith and shoving her tongue in his mouth.
That didn’t really piss me off, to tell the truth. It just got me a little queasy when the spit started dripping.
What did put a wrench into my day was looking forward to last period Spanish.
And Linda.
Linda - err, Ms. Bell - only spoke with me during class if she absolutely had to, and she wouldn’t look at me at all.
Something made me not tell the guys about my little discovery. I didn’t feel ashamed, really, or embarrassed. I think I felt disappointed. Like I’d teetered on the edge of a sexual revelation, and instead of falling in, I backed up.
I carried around her stolen panties with me, playing with them wherever I went. I couldn’t stop fantasizing about her, dressed up in her lingerie or her costumes, fucking me.
It was worse in class.
Every day I walked out of the classroom, reeling in pain from the continuous hard-on that would pop up as soon as I saw her. Jacking off brought no relief. And believe me, I tried.
When the last bell rang on Friday afternoon, I packed up my notebook and hurried the door with the rest of the spawn, holding my backpack over my throbbing groin. I tried not to meet Ms. Bell’s eyes and just get out as fast as I could.
"Devin. Please come here."
Oh shit, I thought. I’m in trouble.
She was leaning against the edge of her desk with her arms folded across her chest. As the last of the kids filed out, she smiled sweetly at me.
"You’re leaving?" She asked.
Hell, yeah. No reason to hang around here.
"I thought...I guess I didn’t think you’d want me to help after..."
She waved her hand.
"Those boxes are still much too heavy for me. Besides, you know what to do. We can finish faster if you’re helping."
"Well, okay, I guess. But I need to catch..."
She nodded, grinning.
"Your bus. I know. If it’s okay, I’m willing to give you a ride. We might be here a while later than usual tonight, though."
After not speaking to me for a week, she was suddenly a little too sweet. A tiny alarm went off in the back of my head. But she dropped her arms and gripped the side of the desk, leaning further back. I looked her up and down, and swallowed hard.
Today she was wearing a dress with a full length skirt. It buttoned up the front, starting around her knees and ending at a swooping neckline. She was wearing a pearl necklace that looked just like Ingrid’s'.
The sight of her cleavage when her body shifted caused my dick to short-circuit my brain.
"Okay. Cool." I said. "I, uh, I’m sorry about last week. I..."
She shushed me with a finger to my lips. When she smiled my dick throbbed in my pants, and my lips tingled where she touched me.
Then she put me to work.
She sat at her desk, and by the time we - I - finished, I was sweating like a pig.
"There." I said. "All done."
"Good. Let’s go."
The school was deserted except for a janitor sweeping a stairwell at the other end of the hall. When we stepped outside, stars were already twinkling and the moon lit our way as we walked to her car. She unlocked my door and then walked around to the drivers’ side, then she squeezed in next to me and handed me her purse.
"Hold this?"
"Okay."
It was late October, just a day shy of Halloween. The day had been sunny and warm, but now it was freezing out. She started the car and turned on the beetle’s heat.
"It’ll take a minute to warm up," she said, and pulled out of the school parking lot. Jack-o’-lanterns grinned at us from the porches of the houses as we drove by.
"What are you doing for Halloween? Are you going to any parties?"
I shook my head.
"No. I didn’t make any plans, after the other day...uh, you know...I guess I didn’t feel like doing much. My folks and my sister are gone for the weekend, so I was just gonna rent some movies and stay home." I glanced at her. "How about you?"
She licked her lips.
"I’ve made some arrangements."
"Huh?"
She looked at me and smiled. In the dark, her smile didn’t seem to reach her eyes.
"I’m having a party tomorrow night. How would you like to...be my date?"
I blinked.
"Excuse me?"
"Would you like to go to my party? I think it will be fun."
I stared at her, no idea what to say.
"You’re kidding. Right?"
"No. Really. I’d like for you to be there."
My dick started screaming, ‘Say yes! You bonehead!’, so I said, "Sure. Okay."
She smiled. I was shocked enough that I didn’t notice where she was driving until she parked and cut the engine.
I looked around dumbly.
"Here we are," she said brightly.
"This...this is your house." I stuttered.
"Come on inside." She unsnapped her seatbelt, opened her door and stepped out of the car.
"But I..."
"Come on. I want to show you something."
"But..."
"Hurry. It’s cold."
She waited for me to get out and shut my door, and then she took my arm in hers and marched me to her porch. She jingled her keys, unlocked the front door and smiled at me. Bert greeted us as we walked in.
"Cutie-pie! Cutie-pie!"
Linda fed him a sunflower seed.
"He’s been asking about you all week. You must have made an impression on him."
"I...guess so." I said, and frowned. "Is that what you wanted to show me?"
Linda shook her head, unbuckled the belt around her waist and slipped out of her coat. She laid it over the back of her couch, walked back to me and stopped just inches away. I could feel her breath on my face.
"You did something very bad the other night." She said, and laid her hands on my chest.
A tingle shot through my body when she touched me, and I knew she could see the bulge in my pants. I swallowed around a lump in my throat, and my voice sounded suddenly hoarse.
"Yeah, I know. I’m really sorry. I shouldn’t have gone in your room, but..."
She was tracing a little zigzag patter on my chest with a long, red fingernail.
"But you were intrigued."
"Yeah. I guess so..."
She edged even closer and looked down into my eyes. God, she was tall.
"Did you...like what you found?"
I couldn’t believe this was happening. A week ago, she looked like she wanted to kill me. And now...
"Um. Yes?"
"Have you been thinking about me?" She whispered, and eased my jacket over my shoulders.
It fell to the floor and she kicked it away.
A mantra was playing in my head, flowing through my mind over and over, in time with my throbbing dick.
Oh God oh God oh God...
"Yes..." I breathed.
She smiled and leaned over, like she was going to kiss me. Her dark brown eyes fluttered.
"Good..."
Her soft, ruby red lips parted and the little pink tip of her tongue flicked out. She pressed against me and wrapped her arms around my neck, then softly licked my lips, running her moist tongue lightly over my upper lip, then my lower lip, and back. I shivered, and her warm thigh rubbed against my crotch. She played with my hair, gently biting my lower lip with her sharp, white teeth.
I was frozen stiff.
She nibbled my lip and wiggled against me, her breath hot and sweet on my face. I moaned and tried to put my arms around her, but she pulled back, smiling. I tried to push her down onto the floor, but she stepped away and took my wrist.
"I want you to come upstairs with me."
Suddenly, I was sweating again, and I was having trouble breathing.
"Oh. Okay."
She pulled me to the stairs and smiled reassuringly over her shoulder. All I could see was her sweet, round ass, swaying in front off me. I tried to touch it, and she smacked my hand away.
"Ow!"
She grinned.
"Not yet."
The bedroom door was open, but the lights were off.
"Go ahead," she said.
I stepped inside, and she turned on the lights and shut the door behind us, locking it behind her. I heard a drawer behind me open and shut. I almost turned around, but then I noticed her bed.
All the frilly girl stuff was gone, replaced with a single, black silk sheet tucked over the mattress. Lying on the bed were the leather handcuffs she’d caught me with, one pair attached to each of the thick steel posts at each corner of the bed.
She stepped behind me and touched my hips. She wrapped an arm around my waist and gently stroked my belly. I felt her breasts press into my back, and she let her chin rest on my shoulder.
I could just see her face out of the corner of my eye.
"Do you like my bed?" She asked. "Does it excite you?"
My mouth was too dry to speak, so I nodded.
"Let’s see."
She stopped rubbing my stomach and unbuttoned my jeans with a flick of her wrist. I jumped as my dick poked out of my underpants. It felt like it was going to explode.
"Okay, Linda, c’mon now..."
She hissed and squeezed me, pinning me to her. God, she was strong. Somewhere beyond the hormones flooding my system, I wondered why the hell she needed me to help her at school.
I probably should’ve given that some more thought, but she didn’t give me the time.
"Don’t move," she warned, and I felt something cold and sharp slide under my chin. "Unless you like blood."
"Holy shit, Linda! Hey, look! This was fun, and I’ve learned my lesson, but..."
I tried to pull away, but she jerked me back against her and the butcher knife in her hand bit into my throat.
"Devin, you were very bad. A bad, bad boy. I forgive you for snooping. Really. After I took you home, Bert helped me realize you did what any other horny teenage boy would’ve done. I know you’ve been attracted to me for a long time, and I’m actually kind of glad you found my little secret. But I want you to understand something. You need to be very quiet now. From now on, you’re not to speak unless I tell you to. Do you understand?"
I nodded.
The knife pressed harder, and a sharp pain shot into my neck. "What was that?"
"Yeah! Yeah! I get it! Linda, please...!"
She jerked me again.
"You have lost the privilege of calling me Linda. You may call me Ms. Bell. Do you understand?"
Holy shit. She’s lost it. A fucking bird’s talking to her? Calming her down? Forget Vampira, forget Bride of Frankenstein.
She was a fucking psycho.
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
"Yeah. Okay...uh, Ms. Bell. I got it."
"Good. Now. I asked you a question."
"Wha...What was that?"
"Are you excited?"
Not any fucking more, I thought.
After she pulled the knife on me, my dick went from looking like a tent pole in my underwear to hiding somewhere around my armpits. Hell, as far as I knew, it jumped off and slithered out under her door, and was running like hell to Bermuda right now.
"Uh, I...was..."
"Let’s see," she said again.
Her hand slid back down and into my underpants. She ran her fingernails through my pubic hair and then gripped my balls. She kissed my neck and softly nibbled my earlobe as she played with me.
I shivered, and my dick decided to take a risk.
She laughed in my ear and used the flat of her knife to force my head back onto her shoulder.
"That’s a nice boy," she said. "Just like that. Now relax."
She stroked me until I was hard again, and she ran a fingernail along the bottom of my cock up to the tip, pushing it against my belly.
"Very nice," she whispered, and let it flop back down. It hung straight out, pulsing.
I felt dizzy.
"Now then. I was telling you that I forgave you?"
"Yes Ms. Bell," I croaked. I sounded like her stupid bird.
"Well. A couple days ago, I realized you took something when you were here, too. Didn’t you?"
I managed a nod.
The knife pricked me.
"What did you say?"
"Y-yes. I did."
She smiled and licked my ear. My dick twitched in her hand.
"You’ve been playing with something in your pocket this week, haven’t you?"
I shut my eyes.
Poke.
"Yes."
Poke.
"Ms. Bell," she said.
Poke.
"Yes, Ms. Bell."
The knife eased back, and her other hand reached into the pocket of my jeans. She pulled her panties out and dangled them in front of my face.
"That’s where they went! I wondered where they’d disappeared to. I just knew I put them in my dresser."
Poke.
"Did you look through my dresser, Devin?"
Poke.
"Yes Ms. Bell."
"Did you take anything else of mine?"
I squeezed my eyes shut, and nodded.
Poke.
"Yes Ms. Bell."
"What?"
Poke.
"I...I took a bra."
She nuzzled me, giving me little, soft kisses.
"Do you like what you took?"
"Y-yes Ms. Bell."
"Did you think about me this week? Wearing what you took from me?"
I was breathing hard again. She’d wrapped her panties around my penis, and was slowly jerking me off. My knees started to tremble.
"Yes." I whispered.
"Did you bring me back my bra, too?"
I shook my head.
Poke.
"No! No, Ms. Bell. It’s still at my house."
"Did you try my underwear on?" She asked.
"No. I didn’t..."
"Did you think about it? Did you wonder what my panties would feel like? Did you imagine slipping them on, the soft lace stroking you at school, hidden under your pants? Or my bra, hidden under your shirt, strapped around your sweet chest?"
I gulped and shook my head again.
Poke.
"N-no. I didn’t. Really. I just wanted something to remember you with..."
"You stole from me."
"But..."
She stopped rubbing my cock and tossed the panties on the bed.
"Give me your arm." She patted my left shoulder. "This one."
She grabbed my left wrist and yanked my arm behind my back. The cold pressure on my neck eased up, and she pushed me onto the bed.
With my pants halfway to my knees, I couldn’t stay up. I fell over, and she landed on top of me. I heard the rattle of a chain and then a leather strap tightened around my wrist.
She’d tied me with the cuff attached to the opposite - right - side of the bed. I had to use all my strength to flip over, but she’d already locked my wrist into the handcuff. When I flopped onto my back, I found her straddling my hips with the knife pointed right at my throat, and I realized she’d planned it this way.
"Don’t move." Her smile was gone.
The point of her knife poked my cheek, and her ass rubbed my cock as she pinned my other wrist to the bed with her knee. She grabbed the cuff lying next to my head, and quickly strapped my right wrist in.
Then she stroked my face with her blade, and grinned. She sat up, and I could see her dress had popped its buttons up to her waist. She grabbed my t-shirt and slit it open with her knife.
"Oh shit! Linda, please...!"
She jabbed my nipple with the knife and hissed at me.
"What did you say?"
I bit my lip and shut up. A little blood trickled down my ribs from the cut she’d made.
Then she leaned over and kissed me. I heard myself groan as her tongue flicked in and out of my mouth, and I for a second I forgot my fear.
Her kiss was soft and she ran her hand up my ribs as she pulled my tongue into her mouth and sucked on it. She kept the knife held at my neck and pinched my bloody nipple with her free hand, and then she ripped her dress open to her belly, down to the last couple buttons.
I felt my cock throb against her backside and bit my lip. Under her dress she was wearing a white push up bra. The cups were cut just under her tiny, pink nipples, forcing them to jut out.
"Do you like my breasts, Devin?" She asked.
"Y-yes, Ms. Bell."
She smiled.
I’d answered the question right, I guess, because she wrapped her hands around the back of my head, leaned over and pressed her chest onto my face. One of her nipples poked against my lips, and I sucked on it, nibbling it. Her tits were bigger than I’d thought. I realized that the little peeks I’d managed to catch over the years had just misled me about the size of her boobs.
Her hips jerked, grinding her ass into my crotch. And then she pulled away. She sat up and looked down at me, smiling. She stabbed he knife into the mattress next to my armpit and played with her breasts with one hand, then reached behind her ass and stroked my cock with the other.
Maybe she wasn’t going to kill me. I remembered the bondage get-up in her closet, and prayed this was just some funky role-playing game for her. Despite myself, I was starting to get into it.
Linda shut her eyes and played with me for a minute, until I was hard in her hand again. And then she bent over and kissed my neck, sliding her tongue down my chest. She pinched and bit my nipples, trailing her mouth over them, sucking them, and then she slid her body further down, biting and kissing my belly, licking my belly button, and then she grabbed my cock with both hands and took me into her mouth with a gulp.
My entire body tingled when I felt her lips press against my belly, and I jerked against her. She looked up at me, my dick buried in her throat, stretching out her mouth. She bobbed her head and I slid out with a slurp.
"Do you like that?"
"Oh, my God." I whispered. "Yes...uh...uhh...Ms. Bell...Uhhhh"
My feet twitched and my hands clenched as she sucked me, slowly and gently. She slid one arm under my ass and pillowed her head on my hip. Her soft, curly hair tickled me, and she cupped my balls with her free hand and lightly tickled my asshole with her fingertips. She worked me slowly at first, and then picked up speed, until my hips jerked and my toes curled.
"Oh shit! Oh...sh-shit! P-please...gnnng!"
She stopped sucking me right as I started to cum, but rolled off me onto the bed and kept stroking me. Her hand pumped away, and I couldn’t hold back. I shot my load, and she milked me, pointing my dick up towards my belly.
"Oh, fuck, Linda! Fuck, yeah!"
Sticky, pearly white cum pooled on my stomach, and dripped down my sides. My chest heaved as she smiled at me and squeezed the last drops of cum out of my cock. Then she ran her hand over the mess on my belly and licked her fingers clean.
"You made quite a mess, Devin."
I managed to nod. I could barely breathe.
She slid off the bed and pulled my pants down around my ankles. Then she pulled off my tennis shoes and my socks, pinned one of my legs to the bed and buckled me down, tightening the cuff around my leg just above my pants.
"You made a mess and you called me Linda. I told you to call me Ms. Bell, didn’t I?"
"Y-yeah. But..."
She strapped in my other leg, jerked the chains tight, and then pulled my pants all the way off.
"That means you have to be punished."
I tried to sit up. I still had some slack in the chains locking up my arms.
"No, no. You don’t get up until I let you."
Linda pushed me down and straddled my chest. She tightened up the chains for my arms, until I was spread-eagled out on her bed. Then she slid off again, my cum leaving a wet, shiny trail where she’d smeared it over my body.
"What a bad boy you are. Since you can’t seem to follow directions..."
She pulled the knife out of the bed and set it on her nightstand, then stepped over to her closet. She rolled open the door and grabbed something off the rack.
"I think we just need to make sure you don’t talk any more this weekend."
She grinned and held up a gag and a mask.
"Linda, please..."
She slapped me hard enough to make my eyes water. My lip swelled and I tasted blood.
"Shut up."
She pulled the black leather mask over my head, and then zipped it up the back. She unzipped the eye and mouth slits, and then shoved the red rubber ball of the gag against my lips.
"Oww!"
She wiggled it into my mouth, until I gurgled, and then she strapped it around my head, hooking it in place.
"There." She stepped back and admired her handiwork. "Perfect."
She smiled at me, watching me jerk around on her bed. The cuffs didn’t hurt, but I was strung so tight I could barely move, and the mask was stifling. I felt myself start to panic again, and screamed into my gag.
Completely muffled. Almost no sound reached my ears through the thick leather. And then I knew that I’d blown my chance for help.
Now no one could hear me.
"Oooh, poor boy. Uncomfortable?" Linda cooed. "Here. Let me help."
She pulled a thick pillow out of the closet and shoved it under the small of my back, and then another, until my hips were almost a foot off the bed.
"You wanted me to fuck you, didn’t you? I know you did. I could see it in your eyes when I found you leering into my closet, and all this week at school." She ran a hand lightly over my prone body.
Her touch was electric. My body jumped.
"There, there. You got to have your fun, now it’s my turn." She smiled again. "Just relax. You’re about to get your wish. Now, wait just a second."
She turned back to her closet, and came back out with a big bottle of anal lubricant.
"You’ll need this," she said, and crawled up onto the bed. She knelt between my legs and squirted a bunch of lube onto my crotch and over my balls. She slathered it on thick. Despite myself, my dick came back to life at the cool touch of the jelly, and she grinned.
"Well, look at that. You are a horny boy, aren’t you?" She shook more lube down to the tip of the bottle. "We’ll just have to fix that, won’t we?"
She used her fingertips to spread my ass cheeks open.
"What a cute little butt you’ve got, Devin."
She grinned and pressed the tip of the bottle into my anus.
My body jerked as she squeezed the rest of the lube into my rectum. She laughed and tossed the bottle onto the floor.
"Don’t you like that?"
My head flopped frantically from side to side, and she unbuttoned the last two buttons holding her dress closed. She let it slide off onto the floor and rested her hands on my thighs. She was wearing a flowery garter belt with her stockings and a pair of lacy panties over that.
"That’s too bad," she said, and leaned over with her ass up in the air.
She lapped the drying cum from my stomach, purring like a cat. I closed my eyes, feeling the heat from her body on mine. The tip of my dick rubbed her chest, her bra, and her belly as she licked and slurped.
I groaned with pleasure.
And then she sat up again, and pulled down her panties.
My eyes popped open and I started to thrash in my chains.
Ms. Bell laughed, and stroked the hard, thick, purple cock dangling where her pussy should’ve been. Her - his - cock was big - bigger than mine - and the balls hanging down inside her thighs were hairless.
"I hope I’m everything you wanted, Devin," she whispered and eased down onto me.
My legs were spread open, and my ass was way up in the air. I kicked and thrashed, but I could barely move. She just giggled and slipped her cock slowly into my oozing rectum.
It hurt.
It fucking hurt a lot .
Once she was in far enough that I couldn’t dislodge her, she grabbed my ass with both of her hands and pushed with her hips. She had all the leverage she needed, and suddenly I felt like I had to take a huge shit.
"There sweet boy. Doesn’t that feel nice?" She cooed. "You feel so sweet, I love your ass."
She let her weight rest on me and her tits dug into my chest. Her sticky hands slid up my body and grabbed a pair of leather handles that were sewn onto the sides of my mask, and she started pumping into me. She buried her face in the crook between my neck and my shoulder and purred, sucking and nuzzling me. Her hair poked into my eye and I had to turn my head away, giving her better access to my neck while she fucked me.
"That’s my sweet baby. My sweet, sweet baby." she whispered as she chewed on my neck. "You want me to cum in your ass, don’t you baby..."
Oh, fuck, it hurt.
She was pounding into me, smashing her belly against my balls. My dick was pressed flat against her stomach, and her garter belt rubbed it while she fucked me. Her belly was slick with my cum and the lube she’d smeared all over me, and the friction was turning the lube warm, then hot.
"You like it. I can feel it..."
My dick slid underneath her garter belt and stuck there, between the lacy material and her stomach. I groaned as I felt another orgasm building.
I didn’t want to cum. I didn’t. Not with some freak fucking me in the ass.
But I couldn’t help it.
My toes curled and my hands clenched into fists. A muffled wail from behind my mask caused her to stop pumping me for a second. She smiled as she pushed her upper body away from me, and shoved with her hips until her dick was buried and her balls slapped my ass.
"Cum for me," Linda purred. "Cum all over your sweet chest..."
She ran her fingers lightly up and down the thick vein running along the bottom of my cock, and a thick stream of cum spurted out of my dick like a fountain. Tears of shame burned in my eyes as my chest was sprayed with milky-white droplets.
Linda grinned and licked her fingers clean.
"That tastes so sweet..."
She gathered her legs up so she was kneeling underneath me, and pulled my ass higher. With my chained legs stretched over her thighs, she began fucking me with quick, hard strokes.
"Baby, oh baby..."
I didn’t feel her cum inside me. None of that ‘hot jizm exploding, filling me up’ crap. It was nothing like any of the shit you read about in the dirty magazines. One minute, she (he? it?) was pounding me, ripping into my asshole, and the next she just stiffened. After a series of small jerks, the pressure in my bowels lessened and she collapsed on top of me.
Then I felt warm fluid dripping down my ass cheeks, and she was snuggling me, gently kissing my nipples and wrapping herself around my body.
"Sweet boy, I knew you’d like it..." she whispered.
She rested her head on my chest, stroking the cum covering me with a sharp fingernail, swirling it around and making little designs.
"I can’t wait for tomorrow to introduce you to my friends," she yawned.
And then she fell asleep, right on top of me, with her cock slowly shrinking inside my ass. After a few minutes she started to snore softly, and her penis popped out.
It felt just like I’d taken a little turd.
I woke up to find dingy grey light pouring through her bedroom windows.
"Rise and shine sleepy-head," she said, as she dragged me, feet first, off the bed. "Time to get ready for the party."
My feet were cuffed with a new pair of leather bonds. A short, thin nylon cord dangled between them, I guess so I could walk on my own. My hands were hand-cuffed tightly in front of me, and I noticed the other cuffs were still attached to the bedframe.
Linda was standing in front of me, completely naked. She was holding the riding crop from her closet in one hand, and poked my face with it. I wasn’t wearing the mask anymore, but I was still gagged.
"Stand up Devin."
Soft, her cock swung down four or five inches. There was dried shit and blood caked on it, and smeared all over the tops of her legs.
"C’mon. We don’t have all day. Huffff!"
She pulled me to my feet and a sharp pain flooded my bowels. Suddenly I had to go to the bathroom very, very badly. She yanked on a heavy leash she’d attached to a studded leather collar around my neck, and my wobbly legs almost gave out.
"Stand up straight!" she demanded.
I did my best, and she led me into her bathroom. The rope around my ankles let me shuffle along in little half-steps.
"Sit!"
She pushed me down onto the toilet and held my penis while I relieved myself. Shit bubbled out of my ass and plopped into the toilet, splashing me.
I squeezed my eyes closed and prayed to wake up.
Linda laughed and played with her little whip, gently slapping the underside of my chin with it.
"All finished. That’s a good boy, pooping in the toilet."
She cleaned me, and then pulled my leash again.
"Now into the shower. We want you to make a good impression tonight."
I tried to step over the ledge of the bathtub, and almost tipped over. The whip whacked me in the butt, and I stumbled in.
"Raise your arms."
A metal pipe ran across the top of her shower, from one wall to the other, with a sturdy hook hanging from the middle. I shook my head, and she flicked her wrist.
"GAAHH!"
Her crop caught me across my nipple. Linda wasn’t smiling anymore.
"You smell like a disgusting pig. Raise your arms. Now!" She flicked her wrist again.
WHACK!
Pain exploded through me as the tip of her crop kissed my crotch. My vision swam, and she screamed again.
"NOW!"
WHACK!
My other nipple burned, and I raised my arms, shuddering. She reached up and attached my cuffs to the hook with a small, light clamp.
"There. That wasn’t so hard, was it?" she asked pleasantly.
My whole body hurt. I didn’t want to piss her off again, so I shook my head.
Linda stepped into the shower behind me, reached around my waist, and started the water running. A blast of freezing cold water hit me in the face, sending chills down my entire body. She pushed my head into the freezing spray and raked her fingers through my hair. I came out sputtering, and then she was lathering me up with shampoo.
"There. Doesn’t that smell good?"
She dunked me again and rinsed me. The water was warming up now, and I felt her arm wrap around my waist, and she bent over. When she straightened, she held a bar of pink soap under my nose.
"This is my favorite. I think you’ll like it too." The soap smelled like her, like she smelled every day when we’d stayed late in her classroom.
I groaned.
Linda slowly, gently soaped me up. Starting with my arms, she worked her way down past my groin, washing me as she went, and then moving back up to my crotch.
"Mmm. Let’s have a little fun, shall we?"
I let my head hang as she washed my cock. Despite myself, it slowly hardened until it was standing straight up, throbbing in her fist.
"Such a nice, hard cock," she whispered.
And then something hard and rubbery was poking me.
Linda pulled me against her and played with my chest as she jacked me off, gently rubbing her growing dick up and down my wet, soapy ass crack.
God. Just like last night, I thought. This can’t be happening. Please. This has to be a bad dream.
And she stopped.
"There. Nice and hard again, sweet boy. But I think we should save that for later this evening."
She reached around me and popped the shower head off the stand. I waited, hanging there, staring at the flowery white tile until she finished bathing herself.
"All done!"
Linda turned off the water and opened the shower door. She hopped out of the tub and I watched her in the mirror as she toweled off. Then she rubbed me dry with a thick pink towel and stepped back, grinning.
"I’ll be right back. Don’t move a muscle." She hung the wet towels back on the rack and left the room.
I hung there for a second with my eyes closed and my head back, wondering how the fuck I was going to get out of this. I could hear Linda rummaging around in her bedroom. I opened my eyes when she turned on the radio, and found myself staring up at my wrists.
The pipe I was attached to was bent slightly in the middle. I lifted my legs, curling them up to my stomach. My ass felt like something was ripping inside, but I hung there, twisting.
Nothing.
I took a deep breath, gritted my teeth and pulled myself up as far as I could with my arms, and then let myself drop. The leather straps cut into my wrists, but the pipe groaned and bent.
I dropped about a half an inch.
In the bedroom, Linda was humming along to some old sixties song. Glancing at the bathroom door, I raised my body again, pulling my legs into a ball, and dropped. With a squeal, the pipe bent another inch, but held.
"What do you think you’re doing?!"
Linda was standing at the doorway, dressed in her nurses’ outfit, glaring at me. She lashed out with her riding crop.
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
"Mmphaagh!"
Three burning welts popped up on my ass cheeks, just below the small of my back. Linda placed a fist on her hips and waggled her finger at me, like she was scolding a small child.
"Bad boy! Didn’t I tell you not to move?"
Linda unhooked me and dragged me out of the tub, then into the bedroom and threw me face-first down onto the bed.
"Such a bad boy. And after I’ve been so nice to you."
She leashed me to the head-board of the bed and pulled something green from her closet. Then she straddled my back, unlocked my handcuffs and grabbed me by the hair, jerking my head back.
"Do you know what happens to bad boys? Do you?"
My eyes popped open and I shook my head.
"Mmmgh!
"They get punished."
Linda let go of my hair and shook out a green smock. She forced my hands through a pair of arm holes, then tied the light, paper-like material down my back.
"There."
She locked my handcuffs together again and untied my leash.
"Stand up," she said. "Let’s see how you look in your costume."
I slowly pushed myself off the bed, and turned around. Linda was grinning at me, lifting my chin with her crop.
"My little patient. You look cute enough to eat." She sighed. "Come with me."
She gave my leash a quick jerk, and I stumbled after her. I heard Bert squawk through the closed office door, and then we were down the stairs and into her living room. She led me right to the stockade that she’d set up in the middle of the room.
"You’ve been such a bad boy; this is where you’re going to have to spend the evening."
I tried to back away, shaking my head. She just yanked my forward until she could grab my hair again, and pushed my neck down on the thick slab of wood.
"Bad boy! Don’t make me spank you!’
Linda slipped behind me and grabbed my wrists. After unlocking my handcuffs again, she forced my arms down into the shallow depressions cut into the beam, and slammed the crossbar down over my neck and padlocked me in.
"There!"
I tried to jerk my head back. No luck. I couldn’t move.
Linda removed the leash and slipped the black mask back over my head, buckling it on. She made sure the eye-slits were open, so I could see, but she zipped the mouth closed.
"You be a good boy now. I’ve got a lot to get ready!"
Then left me alone. With her parrot tucked away, the house stayed strangely quiet.
ÂÂ
The doorbell rang about an hour later.
Linda skipped past me and I heard the door open.
"Girlfriend! Look at you! Oooohhh!"
I was turned with my ass facing the door so I couldn’t see who had just shown up, but there was a lot of excited shouting for a couple minutes. The voice that kept calling Linda ‘Girlfriend’ eventually acknowledged me.
"And who’s this sweet thing?"
A warm hand patted my ass and trailed up my back, playing with the ties on my ‘costume’.
"Oh. Just a party favor, for later."
"Perky!"
The hand tickled my balls, and I turned my head as far as I could. A pair of long, muscular brown legs stepped into view. I looked up to see what appeared to be a black man dressed as a roaring-twenties style flapper, wearing a tight, sequined white dress with a skirt that barely covered his ass, and a pair of black mesh stockings with white stiletto heels.
Behind me, someone with a lisp asked, "Dessert?" Then laughed gaily.
"Here, let me take your coats. Desiree, I haven’t had time to bring out the bowls. Would you mind?"
The person standing in front of me was playing with my mask. "’Course, Girl! Whatever you need."
"They’re right over there."
Desiree walked away, swishing his butt. He returned a second later and set two bowls by my feet. One was full of condoms, the other loaded with little bottles of anal lubricant. The bowls I’d seen in Linda’s closet.
Somebody was gently rubbing my ass.
"I love Halloween. Linda always comes up with the best ideas," the voice lisped. "Did you see the balls on this one?"
And the doorbell rang again.
"Party-time!" Desiree cried, and he ran to open the door.
ÂÂ
I don’t know how many people showed up for Linda’s little shin-dig, but the apartment was packed and noisy, and the drinks were flowing.
There was a lot of leather, lots of chains and bondage stuff. Everybody was dancing, or eating, or wandering from one little group to another. One chubby guy whose voice I recognized as the Lisper was dressed like a cartoon tiger, with little white shirt cuffs and a white collar and a bow-tie sewn onto his costume. He had a pair of orange ears strapped to the top of his head, and they kept falling off while he danced.
I seemed to be the focal point of conversation, but for the first hour or so, everybody pretty much left me alone and partied. Eventually the little groups got even smaller, and couples started claiming space on the couch and chairs. A guy dressed like a biker flopped onto a recliner in front of me and pulled out a huge cock, bloated and purple, with a shiny silver cock ring wrapped around his balls. Another guy dressed like a cowboy knelt down between his knees, and the biker grinned and closed his eyes.
I turned my head when the cowboy hat started bobbing up and down.
The orgy had begun. And Lispy Tiger Boy was glancing my way.
"Hey, Linda!" He shouted across the room, waving at me. "Can I partake?"
I couldn’t see or hear her, but I guess Linda said yes because the guy walked over to me. He bent over and smiled at me, then dipped into the bowls. He straightened and slid his hand into the band of his orange tights and slipped them down, over his hips.
And I was suddenly staring right at a pair of hairy balls, and thick, soft cock, poking right at my face.
No. No, no, no, no...
"Not his mouth!" I heard Linda shout from across the room. "And wrap that rascal!"
"’Kay!"
Lispy ripped open a condom package and rolled the rubber on. The he squirted some lube onto his hand and started to jack off. When he was hard he waddled around behind me.
Oh God, no...
His sticky hands untied and pulled open my costume. He rubbed his slimy cock into my ass, greasing me up. I tried to wiggle away, but he grabbed me around the waist with both of his arms, pinning me in place.
"Hold still," he whispered, and pushed his dick into me with a grunt.
My entire body spasmed, and my head smacked back into the hard wood.
"MMMMgggg!"
"Ahhhooowww. You’re a tight boy, aren’t you?"
Lispy wormed his way into my ass, with slow, hard thrusts. His fingers played with my cock while he slowly fucked me, then reached completely under me and lightly grabbed my balls.
"Oh, yeah..."
He squeezed my balls and screwed me. When he started to get really excited he stopped playing with me, dug his fingers into my waist and bent over my back. He pounded into me as hard as he could, slamming my shoulders into the cross-bars locking me into the stockade.
"YESSS!!!"
Lispy pulled out suddenly, and a second later warm fluid spurted over my ass.
Then the cowboy-biker duo stepped up.
"All finished, Pard'ner?"
"Enjoy yourselves, boys!"
I watched the cowboy slip underneath me. His head brushed my chest and his hat fell off, and then he sucked my cock into his mouth. The biker took the time to grab a condom, and then his huge dick was filling my ass.
It felt like I was being ripped apart.
"Fuck him, Baby," the cowboy slurped. He reached around and pulled my ass cheeks open. "Yee-Haw! Pound that little ass."
And so it went.
Unfortunately, the night was just beginning.
ÂÂ
Hours later, I hung limply from my prison. My ass burned like it was on fire.
All the party-goers had long since departed, except for Desiree.
Right now, he was sitting on the chair in front of me with his legs crossed, his hands folded demurely on his knee, swinging his shoe from his toes as he twirled his foot in a slow circle.
Watching me.
"What are you going to do with your little trophy?" He asked Linda, who was walking around, picking up.
Linda shrugged.
"I’m not sure yet. He said he wanted to come to the party, but I haven’t asked him if he wants to stay tonight."
Desiree smiled and smoothed out his skirt, and gracefully shifted his legs, teasing me.
He yawned theatrically and stretched, throwing back his head and pushing his arms straight into the air. His breasts were enormous, and he had a tiny little waist, which made them look even larger. The tight dress he wore barely restrained his tits; in fact, it emphasized them. He caught me looking and grinned, cupping his breasts with his hands and giving them a little bounce.
"I think he likes my titties." He toyed with a thin spaghetti strap that kept falling down over his shoulder. He smiled and licked his full lips. "Would you like to see them, baby?"
Linda stood next to me, and unzipped my mask.
"Now that everyone’s gone, why don’t we take this off?"
She pulled the mask off and let it fall to the floor.
"Oh! What a beautiful boy!" grinned Desiree.
He slid off the chair and crawled over the floor to me, until I could feel his breath on my face. He reached out and smoothed back my hair, then gently kissed my forehead.
"So pretty," he murmured, and slipped the straps of his dress over his arms.
Desiree cupped his breasts with his arms, pushing them into my face. The sequins covering his dress scraped my face for a second, and then the cool, smooth feel of a silk slip, and then the warm flesh of his bare skin. He played with my hair and I heard a click, and then a huge weight eased from my neck. It took me a moment to realize that Linda had removed the bar holding me down. And then my legs gave out, and I collapsed to the floor with a thump.
"Poor baby. Looks like you’ve had a rough night." Desiree stood up and kicked off his shoes. "Why don’t we take you upstairs and clean you up."
He pulled up his dress and stepped around the stockade, then bent over picked me up like I was a child. He threw me backwards over his shoulder and marched upstairs, right into the bathroom, and stood me up in the shower. He pulled off the hospital gown and tossed it in a clothes-hamper sitting by the sink.
Linda turned on the water, and I was too weak to fight as they bathed me. Hot, rust brown water swirled down the drain as they rinsed my legs and buttocks. My ass stung when the water ran over it. After they finished, Desiree toweled me dry and then they handcuffed my wrists together again, and let me use the toilet.
"Poor baby," he turned to Linda. "Does he know?"
Know what? I wondered.
Linda shook her head.
"I haven’t told him. I’m sure he thinks that I’m like you."
What the hell were they talking about?
Desiree flushed the toilet for me and led me back into the bedroom. The bedding was clean; someone had changed the sheets to a soft pink satin, instead of the black silk. He pushed me onto the bed and they locked me up again. The sheets were cold underneath me, and I shivered.
They both sat on opposite sides of the bed and smiled at me.
"So. Is that what you think?" Desiree asked.
I looked at each of them. Bewildered.
"That she’s like me?"
Desiree stood and slipped out of his dress until it pooled around his ankles. The silk slip followed right after. Underneath, he was just wearing a black garter belt to hold up his stockings. His tits were full and firm, bigger than anything I’d seen outside of a porno movie, with dark brown nipples. I could see the light discoloration around the side of his breast, where the scarring from his implants had healed. His penis was already hard, and stuck out a good foot from his crotch.
"A woman trapped in a man’s body?"
I couldn’t take my eyes off his penis. He eased back onto the bed, and started to gently stroke my stomach with his long, painted fingernails. His dick flopped over his thigh and rested half on the bed, and his tits pressed into my side.
He looked at Linda.
"Why don’t you show him?"
Linda smiled at me and stood up. She was still dressed in her nurses’ costume. She unclipped the little white cap and tossed it on the dresser, then reached behind her back and unzipped the starched white uniform. She pulled it down over her round hips, and I felt my cock suddenly twitch.
Desiree noticed too, and his light touch eased down my belly until his fingertips lightly ran up and down the length of my dick. I groaned around my gag when Linda stood up straight. Now wearing just her undies, she looked like something right out of a wet dream.
"Bra first, honey," Desiree said.
Linda nodded, and unhooked her white, push-up bra. It unsnapped in the front, and she slid the straps down her slim arms and let it fall. She stood smiling at me with her back arched and her chest thrust forward. She licked her fingers and pinched her little, pink nipples until they were stiff.
"Look at them, Sweetie," Desiree prompted. "Those are the real deal, Sugar."
I glanced at him, and he grinned. Then he looked back at Linda.
"Now the panties."
Linda bent and rolled her white g-string down her legs and stepped out of it, leaving her wearing just white stockings and a matching garter belt. She stood again, demurely sucking a finger and playing with her cock.
I watched her get hard.
"Now, that’s real too. Isn’t it, Linda?"
Linda smiled and nodded.
"Come closer." Desiree stopped caressing my dick, and motioned Linda to step closer to my face. "There. Good. Now turn around and bend over."
I seemed to be having a hard time breathing. Linda twirled on the ball of her foot, bent over and spread her ass cheeks. She wiggled her butt, and I got a nice view of her asshole, her balls and her dick and...her...
Pussy?
Linda’s hand moved under her crotch and slipped between her legs. She rubbed her pussy lips and slipped her middle finger inside. It came out slick, and she turned around and licked it clean.
"See? A little bit of everything. Just for us."
She smiled at me and Desiree patted my crotch. Linda crawled onto the bed and straddled me. She closed her eyes and licked her lips, raising her bottom slightly.
"A little higher," Desiree said, and he gripped the base of my cock.
I felt myself slide into Linda. She sat down with a slow grind of her hips, and her fingernails scraped my chest.
God. She was the tightest fit I’ve ever experienced. She fit me like a warm silk glove. She cuddled me, wrapping her arms around my neck and kissed me gently.
"Fuck me," she whispered, and began moving against me, stroking my hair.
"Thattaboy." Desiree stood up and opened the closet. He clicked on the light and bent over, and when he shut the doors he was smearing lube on his cock. He eased between my spread legs, behind Linda. I felt his dick push into my balls, and for a second, I thought he was going to try to fuck my ass.
I braced myself for the pain, imagining that huge dick ripping into my butt.
But it didn’t happen.
Instead, Linda moaned and squeezed me tighter, and I felt something big and hard pressing down on my cock. I opened my eyes.
Desiree was slowly easing himself into Linda’s asshole. Her face scrunched up with the effort of taking us both, and then he was lying on top of us. Linda was angled to my left, Desiree to my right, both of them kissing and caressing me. Linda smiled with an effort.
"L-let’s...t-take this off, too."
She unsnapped my gag, and Desiree pulled the red ball out of my mouth. My jaws cramped, and Linda massaged my face until they relaxed and I could close my mouth. For the first time in more than a day, I could speak.
"Please...stop..." I managed. But Desiree cupped my chin in his hand and tilted my face to his. His lips gently touched mine and Linda nuzzled her soft lips along my ear, teasing me with her tongue.
"Cum in me," she whispered, and her hands played with my body, sending little chills down my spine.
Desiree flicked his tongue in my mouth and I gasped. "It’s okay, baby," he said. "Just lay back and enjoy."
He smiled reassuringly, and I closed my eyes.
"Oh, God," I heard myself say, and I let them do whatever they wanted.
ÂÂ
For the rest of the year, Linda brought me home with her on Friday nights, and occasionally Desiree would join us. When school ended and I graduated, Linda moved back to France, with her sister.
Desiree and I stayed in contact, a bit.
She asked me to stop calling her ‘him’, and eventually I began to think of her as a woman. She would bring me over to apartment and dress me up in whatever outfit tickled her fancy, and then we’d fuck. She seemed to enjoy my...exuberance.
One weekend, Linda flew in to spend a few days, and brought her sister with her.
By that time, I thought I knew what kinky was.
I had no idea.
On the days I didn’t spend with them, I tried to hang out with my buddies. I’d forgotten all about Cara and Keith, until one weekend when all of us - the guys, that is - decided to go to a strip bar.
"Yo! Dev! Wha’s up!"
Manning the door at ‘The Crop’ was Keith. He’d put on some weight over the last few months. His gut hung out over his baggy jeans, and he still drooled. He let us in with a discount and a good word with the waitress.
Nice of him.
A few watery sodas and a couple lap-dances later, we were feeling pretty relaxed. Then the D.J. announced some stripper named ‘Mercedes’, and cranked up the bump and grind music.
Three guesses who jumped on stage.
Cara saw me sitting in the crowd, and almost blew her act. She recovered nicely, though, and did a pretty good set. She knew how to work the pole, boy.
I shoved a dollar bill in her g-string, and decided to call it a night. I patted her butt and she smiled at me with sad, glazed eyes. I said goodbye to my friends. Only Mark and Dave managed to pry their eyes away from my stoned ex-girlfriend and her baby-doll outfit long enough to say goodnight.
I went home and called Desiree. It was late, but I was depressed and horny. She picked up after the second ring. I don’t think she ever slept.
"What’s wrong baby?" She asked. "Sounds like you need some sugar. Why don’t you come on over."
We hung up and I walked out to my car - Linda’s old VW. As I unlocked the door, I saw the lights go off a couple houses over. Ingrid. I hadn’t thought about her for months now.
For a second, I thought I caught a glimpse of her peeking out the living room window at me.
ÂÂ
The next day I woke up late in the afternoon. It was broiling hot in my room.
I sat up and stretched, feeling groggy, and opened my window for some air, right as Ingrid power-walked by my house.
She must’ve heard the window, because she stopped and looked around. I unlatched the screen and pushed it up, then stuck my head out of the window.
"Hey. It’s just me," I said.
She smiled and waved, then her face turned pink and her hand jumped to her mouth. She grinned at me, then turned on her heel and almost ran home.
"What?" I wondered.
When I was standing back in my room, I realized it might’ve been a good idea to put some clothes on before I opened the window. Then I remembered Ingrid’s little grin before she walked away, and my dick twitched.
"Heh." I laughed to myself. "You liked it."
I thought for a minute, and then opened my closet. Buried in the back under a ton of junk was the box John had given me before he left, almost a year ago. I pulled it out and dug around in it until I found what I was looking for. I tossed the little package in the air and caught it, then went to take a shower.
ÂÂ
An hour later, feeling refreshed and frisky, I went to visit Ingrid, carrying two tall glasses of iced tea with me.
I found her sitting cross-legged in the shade provided by our mutual neighbor’s house, weeding her flower beds. Even in the shade, the heat was smothering. She was still wearing her walking outfit; the same tank top, short-short combo she always wore, and she was covered in a glistening sheen of sweat.
"Hey."
Ingrid jumped.
"Oh!" She grinned at me and tucked a bit of damp hair behind her ear. "Devin! You startled me!"
"Sorry," I said, and handed her the glass in my right hand. "I saw you from my back yard and thought you might like something cold to drink."
"Oh. Well, thank you." She accepted the glass and took a small sip. She smacked her lips, and took a big gulp. "Mmm. That’s very good."
"Cheers." I sipped from my own glass. "I’m glad you like it. My mom brews a pitcher for me every morning before she goes to work. By the time I wake up it’s pretty tasty."
She swirled the ice in her glass and took another sip.
"This is so good. Devin, this was so thoughtful of you! Oh! Why don’t we take our drinks to the backyard and sit down?"
"Okay."
She held out her hand and I awkwardly helped her up.
"I put out some chairs on the patio," she said, wiping grass off her butt. "I...I didn’t expect anyone to visit, but..." she trailed off, frowning.
"But here I am."
That made her smile again.
"Yes. Here you are. I suppose I was hoping...that someone might come by."
A small rod-iron table was set up on the concrete patio. A faded umbrella was stuck through the glass top and three white chairs with worn, faded pillows tossed on the seats stood in the shade.
"Hey, let me get that."
I set my glass on the table and pulled out a chair for her. Ingrid settled in, and I sat down opposite her. She used both hands to tuck her hair back again and took another sip of her drink. She was already half finished.
Ingrid noticed that I was looking at her glass and smiled.
"Thank you."
"Sure. It’s that good, huh? I asked. "I guess I shoulda brought the whole pitcher."
She giggled, and then blinked, like she’d just surprised herself by laughing.
"So...how is your summer? She asked. Seemed like she didn’t know quite what to make of my showing up.
"Good. Pretty good." I cleared my throat. "Hey, I, uh, I wanted to apologize for this afternoon. I mean..."
"Do...do you usually open windows without wearing any clothes?"
Her hand shot up to her mouth. I didn’t know exactly what I’d laced her drink with. It didn’t look like the stuff John had used before, but it seemed to be working.
I decided to push the conversation.
"Well, no. Just when a sexy neighbor walks by. My exhibitionist nature gets the better of me."
Her eyebrows flew up and her jaw dropped. Then she blushed again.
And then she grinned.
"You...I...I’m not sexy."
Well, well. I thought that comment was going to be way too forward.
"Sure you are."
"No." She stared at her glass for a second. "Really?"
"Yup." Wow. Okay, I thought. Here goes nothing. "I like watching you walk. You look great in that outfit." I threw my hands up and leaned back in my chair. "Amazing."
"I...I...well," she cleared her throat. "I’ve seen you out on your deck sometimes. Sunbathing? You...remind me of my husband. Your body, I mean. I...I mean, you look nice and tan..."
Ingrid blinked at me, blushing. She glanced away from me and took a long drink. When she finished, what was left of the ice cubes clinked around in the bottom of her glass. She rubbed the back of her neck, then hugged herself and crossed her legs.
"Really?" I asked.
Ingrid nodded but didn’t say anything.
I didn’t take my eyes off her. She was breathing rapidly, taking small, shallow gulps of air. She glanced at my crotch, then quickly looked away. I didn’t know how to play this, so I decided to change the subject.
"Anyway." I leaned forward and drew a smiley face with my finger in the condensation on the table. "Have you heard from John?"
It took her a second to answer. She was staring at my hands, and shook herself back to attention.
"I-I’m sorry. What?"
"Have you talked to John lately?"
She shook her head.
"No. Johnny...hasn’t called, or..."
She was swaying a little: forward, then back. She blinked again and rubbed her forehead.
"Uh...are you okay?" I asked.
"I don’t...I don’t know. I..." She swallowed with an effort. "I feel dizzy."
"Maybe the heat’s getting to you. Do you want me to help you inside?"
She nodded.
"Yes, please. I..."
Ingrid tried to stand, but her legs buckled. I managed to catch her before she fell, and propped her up with my arm around her waist.
"Whoo. That’s not good. Is your backdoor unlocked?
"Y-yes."
"Okay. Let’s take this kinda slow."
She wrapped her arm around my shoulder. I put my free hand on her stomach and guided her towards the door. Getting her through the screen door was kind of awkward, but I managed to lug her to the living room. I pushed the coffee table out of the way with my foot and helped her stretch out on the couch.
"I’m sorry. I feel so odd, like...like..."
Ingrid rubbed her temples. I sat on the floor next to her and held her hand. It felt hot and clammy. Little beads of moisture ran down her face and neck, and a small pool of sweat collected in the groove between her breasts. I was glad she wasn’t looking at me, because I was having a hard time taking my eyes off her chest.
Her nipples were hard as rocks.
"Can I get you a cold towel or something?"
She squirmed a little. Her voice was hoarse when she spoke.
"I’m so hot..."
"I’m going to take off your shoes, okay?"
She nodded.
I untied her shoe laces and pulled her sneakers off and tossed them to the side. Her socks followed, and I went into the kitchen and found a dish towel hanging above the sink. I turned on the tap and let the cold water run until it was as cool as it would get, then soaked the towel and rinsed it out. I carried it back to the living room and laid it on her forehead.
"Thank you."
Ingrid reached out and stroked my face, smiling at me.
I was already really horny - I’d had a hard-on since seeing her that afternoon, and taking a cold shower did nothing to help calm it down. When she touched me, my dick perked up and shot out of the top of me shorts.
She couldn’t stop squirming. Her legs twitched and slid up and down on the cushions, rubbing together. She closed her eyes and let her hand drop from my face to her chest, where it rested on her right breast.
I picked up and re-folded the towel, and I smoothed back her damp hair. Her eyes fluttered, but she didn’t say anything. I decided to take a chance. I leaned over and kissed her as gently as I could.
Her body immediately responded. Her eyes popped open and she grunted, jerking her head into the pillow. I pulled back to find her staring at me with a shocked expression on her face.
"Devin! What...? Why did you do that?"
I smiled reassuringly.
"I told you. I think you’re beautiful, and I...I just wanted to kiss you."
Her eyes fluttered again. She was having a hard time staying focused.
"Devin, that...that’s not right. Please don’t..."
I kissed her again.
Her hand touched my chest, but she didn’t try to push me away. Maybe she didn’t have the energy. But then her lips parted, tentatively, and she let out a whoosh of air.
Suddenly both her arms were wrapped around my neck, and she was writhing against me. I grinned and pushed my tongue into her mouth. She moaned, deep in her throat, and began sucking my tongue, nibbling at it like it was a ripe strawberry. I kissed her lips, her eyes, and the tip of her chin. She bent her head back and I nuzzled her neck, letting my tongue drift down her sweaty chest.
"N-no..."
Ingrid was clutching me, her breasts rising into my face as I bit at her nipples through the satin tank top. The towel fell from her head onto the floor, and my left hand slid over her flat belly and down her shorts. I cupped her crotch, working my fingers under her shorts and the elastic band of her panties until I could gently stroke her pussy.
"Oh!"
This time she did push me away, planting both her hands on my shoulders and shoving me until her arms locked.
"What’s wrong? Don’t you like that?" I asked.
Her eyes were wide, and she clamped her legs together around my hand, which was still tangled in her shorts.
"Please. Devin, stop. This isn’t right."
I didn’t answer. I learned a few things in my time with Linda and Desiree. Instead, I slipped a finger into her pussy and grinned down at her.
"Oh...G-G-God..."
Her eyes lost focus and her whole body started trembling. Her cunt was soaking wet, and my finger slid right in. Her hands curled into fists, and she pulled herself against me. Her legs had my wrist pinned, but I was able to slowly slip my finger in and out, and instead of trying to shove me away again, her hips began to move, and she kissed me hard, shoving her tongue into my mouth.
"Mmm-mmm! Mmm!"
Her legs relaxed and she spread them open, letting one leg fall off the edge of the couch, giving me full access to her pussy. I slipped two more fingers in and her pussy clenched, smashing them into each other. I used my thumb to find her clit and started to gently circle her little nib, rubbing it until she groaned.
A warm gush of her pussy juice soaked my hand and her panties.
"Please stop..." she begged. "Please..."
I looked at her crotch. Her shorts were wet up to her belly.
"Do you really want me to stop?" I asked, and flicked her clit, causing another little flood. "Or can I take these wet things off for you?"
Ingrid squeezed her eyes shut and didn’t answer. Then she dropped back on the couch and averted her eyes, still quiet.
"Well?" I gave her shorts a little tug.
She bit her lip and nodded, and I slipped them down her legs. She kicked out of them, letting them fall to the floor, and then I pulled down her panties. I tossed those onto the coffee table. I petted her soft, light blonde pubic hair and her breath hissed between her teeth.
"You’re so pretty," I said, stroking her. "I...I’ve thought about this for a long time."
She wouldn’t look at me, but her legs were spread open. Inviting me.
I stood and unzipped my shorts. I kicked off my sandals, stepped out of my shorts and pulled off my underpants, then my t-shirt. She kept her head turned as I knelt between her legs.
I was so excited; my dick was actually bouncing up and down, twitching.
"Ingrid."
She shook her head.
"Ingrid. Look at me."
I had to cup her chin in my hand and turn her head. She squeezed her eyes tighter and balled her hands into fists. Mentally, I shrugged.
"You...you drugged me. You put something in my drink. I can tell...just like Johnny used to do..."
That stopped me. I was lying on top of her with her right leg over my shoulder. Her left leg was still dangling off the couch, and I was guiding my dick to her pussy.
"What?"
She never opened her eyes.
"Just like my Johnny," she whispered. "Such a bad boy."
That line triggered a bad memory. Then she grabbed my ass and pulled me into her.
"Ingrid!" I tried to roll off, but she wrapped both her arms around me and lifted her leg, tangling it between mine. "Hey!"
Her hips were grinding against me now. Her pussy was warm and wet, and it gripped my cock, pulsing. Her eyes fluttered open.
"Make me happy, Johnny... Make mommy happy..." she moaned, and clamped her mouth over mine.
It might not’ve been the strangest sex I’ve had. But Ingrid didn’t stop calling me Johnny the entire time.
Frankly, I didn’t care.
She came minutes later, bucking against me, her nails scratching my back.
I rolled us off the couch onto the floor. I lay on my back with her on top of me. I made sure I was still buried inside her, then I pulled off her tank top. Underneath she was wearing a light cotton bra. I didn’t bother unhooking it. I just pulled the straps over her shoulders and yanked the cups under her tits.
"Oh, yeah," I grinned, and pulled her close and kissed her nipples.
Her hair was plastered to her sweaty face, and she swayed back and forth while I sucked her tits. But she kept up a slow grind, her hands clutching my shoulders until I came.
Then she just collapsed on me, panting. I slowly relaxed, and after a while I felt moisture on my chest. I looked down to find her weeping. She was staring at me. Something made me take her hand in mine, and I kissed it.
"You think I’m beautiful?" She asked.
I could feel myself getting hard again. Her pussy was still twitching, and moisture trickled over my hips. I rolled her over onto her back and kissed her. She made a purring sound and tangled her hands in my hair. When I came up for air my dick was throbbing again, and I grinned.
"I think you’re hot."
She blinked again. Then she grinned.
"Did you like having your way with me?"
I answered by hooking both her legs around my neck. I fucked her that way until I came, and instead of filling her cunt with spunk, I pulled out and shot my load over her belly.
"I like fucking you," I said. "A lot."
Her eyes were closed again. But this time she was smiling.
Later, we were lying on her bed, snuggling. She had her head on my belly, and was gently playing with my cock and my balls.
"I was going to be moving back home, to Germany, in the fall." She looked up at me. "I suppose you would like me to stay now."
"What?"
"Well...I thought...now that we are lovers...you would want me to stay here, with you."
Huh?
"Who said...what are you talking about?"
She crawled on top of me and pressed her pussy down on my cock, smashing it flat against my belly. She licked her lips and grinned.
"If we are not lovers, then you raped me."
Oh shit.
"When Johnny went to jail, I cleaned his room and found his hiding place. But I did not find any drugs. I knew he must have had some that night we had dinner together. I wondered what he did with them." She was slowly rubbing her pussy along my cock as she spoke. Her cunt was getting really wet. "If I went to the police now, I’m sure they would find Johnny’s drugs somewhere in your home."
I swallowed around the lump in my throat, and felt my dick responding to her, despite this turn of events.
"The same drugs that a simple test would show to be in my body now, and traces of which are sure to be in the glass you gave me to drink. What do you think the police might say if they found these things, and I told them that you had sex with me?"
"I...I thought you liked it..."
Ingrid grinned and eased me back inside her soft, velvety pussy.
"I did."
"What...what do you want...?"
She didn’t answer. She just took her time with me. Teasing me. She leaned over and kissed me, and I stared up at the ceiling while she fucked me.
Jesus. What the hell did I get myself into this time?
We were sitting in the very back of a large, stuffy warehouse crowded to the gills with the local S&M and hardcore fetish crowd, at a string of tables covered with every small sex-aid and adult toy imaginable.
Melvin - the large (well, fat, but he’s a friend, so I’ll be generous), balding gentleman ripping out the expletives sat just to my left, reading the newspaper. His little tirade turned some of the latex-masked heads perusing the tables our way.
I laughed at him.
"Jeez, Mel, calm down. You look like youâ€â

„¢re going to have a heart attack."
He slammed the paper onto the table, and jabbed his finger at a picture of a smartly-dressed, plain-Jane, middle-aged woman, arguing with a group protesting outside the steps of the state capital.
The two of us were relaxing at the tables, while on stage, Angela - Melvin’s Mistress/Business Partner/Hermaphrodite Lover/Adopted child - enthusiastically whipped away at Julie, one of my own sex slaves.
Julie was bent over at the waist, locked into a stockade at the edge of the stage and naked except for a featureless, black leather mask covering her face. Angela was wearing her usual uniform of choice, a dark green velvet dress that was practically painted over her tight, curvy figure, with her favorite stiletto-heeled boots laced halfway up her thighs.
As I watched, Angela reared back with the riding crop in her hand and let Julie’s ass have it. Julie’s body jerked forward and the crowd around the stage cheered.
Angela looked like she was having fun. I don’t know about Julie.
Melvin was fuming.
"Whoever voted for that cunt should be taken down to the river and shot."
The woman in the power suit looked familiar. I looked closer at the article. The headline read: ‘Local Sex Industry Warned!’ And in smaller print: ‘State Rep. Susan Manning Takes the High Road on the Sex Industry’.
"Huh." I said.
Melvin looked at me.
"Whaddaya mean, ‘huh’?
"I know her. She and her family have shopped at my store for years." I pulled the paper closer so I could read the rest of the story. "In fact, she hurt her back on a ski trip a few weeks ago, and the last time I saw her at the store, I carried her bags out and helped her get into her car."
"You’re kidding me."
"No, seriously." I thought about it a second. "It was right before I left for California."
"You should’a clubbed the bitch and dumped her in the trash."
The article praised Mrs. Manning for her new bill that was working its way through the state legislature, something some conservative lawmakers were labeling as ‘a call for a new day of decency for our fine state’. She was working to get funding and zoning restrictions for any type of strip club, massage parlor or adult specialty store, pretty much handcuffing (no pun intended) the sex industry here in town.
I could see why Melvin was pissed.
Between the two of them, he and Angela each owned several adult stores (among other things), all of which probably sent the local soccer moms into convulsions whenever they passed by in their minivans and SUVs.
"She’s not that bad, Mel."
"Not bad my ass." He paused and re-lit the stub of his cigar. "In fact, if I got my hands on her, I’d fuck her ass until she bled, then throw her into the Maze for the boys to have fun with." He took a long puff, and blew the smoke out the side of his mouth. "Turn her into the little slut she really is under all that repressed, prude-lawyer shit."
I laughed again.
"You think I’m kidding? That bitch is the reason we’re sitting here in this dump tonight, instead of at the convention center, like we should be."
Melvin and Angela were part-sponsors of a yearly bondage/fetish merchandise trade show. I vaguely remembered they ran into some problems this year, and couldn’t get the permits they needed to set up at the new convention center. Instead, they had to rent out a series of warehouse spaces in the deep industrial district from sympathetic local businesses.
I nodded at the hundreds of leather and stud clad people roaming the floor.
"Not a bad turnout, though. You’ve got to admit, having the show here has a kind of sleazy appeal."
He grunted.
"Yeah, the hardcore freaks’ll find us wherever we end up. But it’s those weekend creepies, the ones that take their kids to private school in their new Beamers, then play dress-up at night when their kids are asleep; they’re the one’s that get antsy when they’ve gotta drive into the ghetto." He chomped thoughtfully on his stogie, puffing away. "Not that the freaks’ money isn’t any good, there’s just a lot more that never makes it to the table if we’re hiding way out here, y’know?"
"So it’s all about the money."
He shrugged.
"Well, yeah. Losing cash always pisses me off, for sure. But this bitch..." He stubbed his cigar out on her picture. "She’s the worst type of cunt-fuck politician. She ran for office as a fucking Democrat for Crissakes, claiming to be for this liberal issue or against that one, whatever, and y’know: ‘vote for me ‘cause I care about this and that and blah, blah, blah’..." Melvin stretched as he spoke, popping his thick neck. "And then once she got elected she turned right around and forgot about the folks who believed her stinking pile of bullshit and voted her in, and now she’s using her office to promote her own fucking pseudo-Christian conservative agenda."
Melvin paused for a breath.
"You voted for her, didn’t you?"
He glared at me, and laughed.
"Fuck you." He sighed.
"I didn’t know you were politically involved."
"Matt, anything that potentially affects my income, my livelihood, I want to know about." He leaned closer. "Folks think I’m a sick, perverted, dumb old bastard." He poked me in the shoulder and grinned. "Well, I’m a sick bastard, that’s true. But I have never, never been stupid when it comes to business or politics."
"So you admit to being old, then?"
He leaned back.
"I prefer to think that I’m aging gracefully."
He looked at the paper, almost wistfully.
"That bitch has done everything she can to fuck things up for a lot of people in this business, a lot of folks we know. And worse." He looked at me again. "You hear about the ‘Homeless’ bill?"
That had been big news last summer, while I was away. After it passed, the police rounded up most of the local street people and homeless families and relocated them, ‘for their welfare and for the continued safety and beautification of our neighborhoods and business districts’.
I nodded.
"She’s a fucking fascist cunt, and if I had the chance, I’d find as many of those bums she had moved out to the sticks and let them hate fuck her until she had to use a fucking wheelchair for the rest of her goddamn life."
I waved my hand at Angela, who was finishing with her demonstration. Julie hung limply in the stockade now, her back and buttocks glowing with angry, red welts.
"Well, why not? You punish people for kicks all the time."
He shook his head. "Nope. It wouldn’t be enough to just fuck with her. I’d want to teach the bitch a lesson, sure. But..." He drifted off, shrugging. "She’s already screwed things up. This stuff she started has a life of its own now. It’s gonna keep on building, no matter what happens to her."
"Melvin, you know your problem?"
"What’s that, besides the bad case of jock itch I got from reading this shit?"
"You’re too short-sighted." I grinned at him. "I’ve got an idea."
I brainstormed a little for him, and as I jabbered away, Melvin started to smile.
"Goddamn, Matt!" He clapped me on the shoulder when I finished. "I knew there was a reason I liked you." He reached for another cigar, shaking his head. "And people say I’m a sick fuck. That’s so twisted, it’s beautiful."
It took about a week and a half before I saw Susan again.
I was just leaving my store, getting ready to go out for a late lunch, when she pulled up in her new Lexus. I stepped off the sidewalk in front of her car and waited to help her as she got out. She was moving a little gingerly, like her back was still bothering her.
As I told Melvin, I’ve known, or rather, waited on, Susan and her family since I bought the chain of little markets I own, maybe ten years ago now.
Susan and her husband Mike were both lawyers, both in their late 40’s, and wealthy. They had two kids: a tall, willowy teenage girl named Rachel, who was probably a junior or senior in high school, and a son who was a couple years younger. Both of the kids took after their dad, physically; they were tall, slim, and athletic with dark hair and complexions. And keeping with the family tradition of prestige, they both went to private school and drove their own, brand-spankin’ new BMWs.
Mike’s family owned a lot of prime downtown real estate, shipping companies, restaurants and other businesses, along with a fair amount of farmland they were now busy developing in the outlying areas of town. Mike quit his job as a corporate shark a few years ago, shortly after his father passed away and he inherited pretty much everything.
His family was big-time players in local politics too. Money can buy a lot.
The whole family reeked of the snobby attitude that went along with having that kind of money. Susan had been an especially cold fish when I’d first met her, but over the years, she’d gradually warmed up to me, and now she’ll actually stop and converse with me.
One day I realized that I hadn’t seen Susan with Mike for quite a while, and asked her how he was. Susan told me that she and her husband had separated, but quietly, for the sake of their careers, and their kids were living with him in another house across town, partly so they could be closer to school, and because Susan was gone because of work so often.
The news didn’t come as much of a shock to me; I rarely saw the two of them together, even before the separation, and when I did they barely spoke two words to each other. Not a great marriage, but whatever works. Susan had managed to parlay her husbands name into a thriving political career, and if he didn’t seem to mind, well, more power to her.
I held my hand out for her as she opened the car door, and she took it with a smile.
She swung her legs out, and I tried to not stare too openly.
I’ve never seen Susan wear any make-up, and the only times I’ve ever seen her without a suit and skirt, she was usually out for her daily run or she was heading up to the mountain to go skiing in the winter or hiking during the summer. She always wore her straight, dishwater blonde hair cut short around her shoulders, and other than a pair of thin silver hoops in her ears and her wedding ring, she rarely wore any jewelry.
When I first met her, ‘mousy’ was the term that came to mind.
But as plainly as she presented herself, she was in great shape, even well into her 40’s. You had to look twice to notice, but she was short and shapely, with great legs and a nice, round ass and hips that tapered into a tiny, tight waist capped with firm, full breasts.
But I digress.
Always the voyeur, I admired her legs, running my gaze up her muscular calves as I helped her ease out of the car. She moved hips first, and I smiled as her legs spread open, surprising me with a nice crotch shot.
I should possibly note here that she was wearing a pair of black stockings under her light grey skirt. Very nice.
She stood up and smoothed her skirt back down and straightened her suit jacket.
"Thanks." Susan smiled up at me. Even in heels, the top of her head barely reached my chin.
"Don’t mention it." I smiled back at her. "You’re here early today."
She shut the door and locked her car. She shrugged.
"We’re out of session," she explained, "and I’ve got a long weekend, so I was going to stock up on girl-flicks, pizza and ice cream, then lock myself in the house and work on getting fat."
She patted her stomach. No way was she going to be getting fat anytime soon, and I took the opportunity to flirt a little.
"Fat. Right."
"You think I’m kidding? I’ve gained so much weight since I hurt my back, it’s not funny."
"Huh," I said, twirling my finger in a circle. "Let’s see."
She gave me a strange look.
"Now you’re kidding."
"Nope," I grinned. "Let’s check you out."
A slow grin spread across her face, and she raised her arms and did a quick little turn for me.
"Well? Everything you hoped for?" she asked.
Hell yes.
"I was gonna go for a bite to eat...how about keeping me company?"
Susan’s mouth popped open.
"You’re serious."
I twirled my car keys.
"Time’s a-waistin’, and there’s a little bistro downtown calling my name."
This was totally out of left field for her, and I wanted to see how game she might be.
It just took her a second to make up her mind.
"Yeah. Okay, sure." She looked at my keys. "Do you want to drive, or should I?"
Gotcha, I thought.
I drove.
The downtown metro area had once been a thriving seaport back in the 1800’s. Most of the current skyscrapers and businesses had been built over the old buildings, or the old architecture had just been reclaimed and refitted for modern use. Rumor has it that a number of secret entryways connected many, if not all of the older buildings to a huge, elaborate network of tunnels running underground that stretched from the wharves and docks back for miles out into the hills and towards the current industrial areas.
Supposedly the tunnels were used for smuggling every sort of contraband under the sun: alcohol, drugs, weapons, and women - you name it - even as recently as the early 1940’s and ‘50’s. Folks new in town, venturing out into the bars and other, less savory establishments for a night of gambling, drink and fun might find themselves drugged and shanghaied, waking up on a ship somewhere at sea. Some of the surviving bars and hotels now boasted of ghosts and hauntings, spirits left over from the wild frontier days.
The tunnels and the entries to them, if really there were any, had been filled in and boarded up by court order back in the late 1950’s. Melvin, while doing some construction in one of his porn shops, had stumbled onto the entries for dozens of the tunnels.
Melvin explored his find a little and found that, for the most part, the tunnels were still in decent shape. So he excavated and turned the tunnels running under his property into a playground for the more adventurous swingers in town.
He calls his deviant little theme park ‘The Maze’.
And, as in the old days, if you decide to venture inside, into the tunnels, looking for whatever twisted sexual thrill you might find, you do it at your own risk. Melvin swears some people, entering of their own free will, haven’t come back out, and he won’t go in looking for them.
Or so he says.
It’s a nice little bit of publicity that spread around the underground sex scene like wildfire. Now there’s rarely a night when the sex crowd doesn’t turn out in force, waiting to try their luck down in the Maze.
Here’s the way The Maze works: The tunnels open for business at midnight, and stay open until the early hours of the morning. The customer picks one of about a dozen doors, each leading to a certain type of fantasy scenario. Once you enter into the tunnel system, the heavy steel door shuts behind you and locks automatically, forcing you even deeper into the maze to try to find your way out.
Hopefully.
The tunnels don’t just run in a straight line to an exit door. They twist and turn, doubling back in on themselves or branching out and leading to dead ends, different rooms, and the like. A couple of them wander on for miles. As you hunt for the exits, you have the opportunity to participate in whatever type of illicit scenario you stumble into.
Each tunnel has ‘em, and most have several different variations of a theme. And with some scenarios, well, with some you don’t get a choice in the matter.
Melvin has created some really perversely twisted surprises for anyone who decides to try their luck, and every type of fantasy is catered to. Just to keep things fresh, he changes the scenarios once a month.
Plus, every corner of the excavated tunnels are monitored with video cameras, and, legal implications be damned, everybody in the Maze gets filmed and the video is recorded and feeds right into the store proper, playing on big screens for the enjoyment of the customers while they shop or wait to get into the tunnels themselves.
Again, the idea, the supposed risk, is the draw for most of the thrill seekers. And it’s been a cash cow for Melvin.
One of my new slaves, Nancy, followed me to the store a few months ago. Not the best decision on her part, maybe. She ended up getting attacked by a horny batch of customers, who chased her into the Maze. They caught her and raped her in a tunnel, until she bit one of them when he tried to force her to suck his cock.
Nancy managed to escape from the rapists, but Melvin and Angela found her just a few minutes later. She spent the next week chained, gagged, and filmed while being raped repeatedly by Angela, Mel and about twenty of their drugged up flunkies.
All in payment for a suit of clothes that Nancy thought I’d like to see her wear.
When they gave Nancy back to me, Angela was kind enough to send her along with a copy of the movie they made, as well as the clothes they put her through hell to get. I spent another week breaking Nancy in for myself, and once in a while, even now, I force her to watch the video while I fuck her in the ass.
You might ask how this all came about, and what any of this has to do with my lunch with Susan.
I’ll try to fill you in as we go along.
We had a small wait at the restaurant. I chose this particular restaurant for a couple different reasons: It was really trendy, and I knew the chef.
Always good to know the staff when you’re trying to impress the snobby date.
And my friend Jeff, the chef, had told me about finding one of the old tunnel entries buried deep in a corner of the basement here. The building the restaurant was in dated back to the roaring heyday of the frontier.
I wanted my own access to the tunnels that ran under the downtown area, and unknowingly, Jeff had given me that access. So I wanted to check out the restaurant a little.
And Susan’s husband owned the property.
The hostess flashed us a perfect, toothy smile when we walked in. I mentioned that Jeff had recommended that I stop by for a snack. Dropping his name was enough for her to whisk us past the early dinner crowd gathered in the bar, and she led us into the restaurant to a booth with a great view of the busy street outside.
A pair of attractive women seated at a table whispered and turned their heads as we passed. They looked familiar, but I couldn’t place them, and I forgot about them as I helped Susan slide into the booth.
The hostess introduced us to our waitress, a tattooed and pierced young blonde, as I slipped into the other side of the booth, facing Susan, my back to the women at the other table. The waitress rattled off the evening specials, and after she took our drink order I snuck a look around.
Jeff and his partner had gutted the space when they moved in, and refurbished it themselves. The space was large and wide open, but the way the booths were organized, each table had - almost - complete privacy.
The waitress returned with a carafe of ice water, a red wine for Susan and an ice tea for me. She poured each of us a glass of water, took our orders and left us alone.
Susan sipped her wine.
"Seems nice," she said. "Have you eaten here before?"
I shook my head.
"No, but I know one of the owners. As far as the food goes, anything he cooks or tells me to try, I’ll eat." I spread my napkin out on my knee. "How about you?"
"No. I eat out a lot because of work, but I’ve never been here. I guess I’m a guinea pig, then?"
I grinned and squeezed some lemon into my tea.
She was staring at something behind me.
"You’ve caused quite a commotion back there." She nodded her head back the way we came.
"What do you mean?"
"Those women we passed got pretty worked up after they saw you. They haven’t stopped staring at me since we sat down." She lowered her eyes and whispered, "Here comes one now."
I thought she was teasing me, until a familiar voice said, "Hi Matt."
I was married for a few years, and for a few years I had in-laws and a niece and nephew, who I’d managed to completely lose track of.
I looked up to find my old sister-in-law, Laura, smiling at me.
"Hi." I said.
After my divorce, I lost all contact with Laura and her husband, Ken. In fact, the last time I saw Laura, she’d fallen asleep on a couch after making a drunken pass at me during her housewarming party.
Ken was upwardly-mobile and Laura was obsessed with appearances, so seeing her here shouldn’t have surprised me at all. It didn’t really. This was the perfect spot for her to hang out. In fact, now that I thought about it, I recognized the other two women at the table with her from the night of that party.
"Katie said it was you!"
Laura held out her arms to me, and I stood up and gave her a hug.
It felt fantastic.
I remembered her smell from before, like the faint smell of flowers in a spring breeze, and I remembered the feel of her body against mine from few minutes we spent on the couch together at the party.
Laura and I had flirted on and off since we’d met, when she was engaged to Ken and I’d first started dating my ex-wife Jennifer. It seemed pretty innocent stuff, then, and over time Laura had slowly molded herself from a frumpy, chubby young woman into a hip, rather sexy yuppie.
We’d both gone through some changes over the years.
Reluctantly, I pushed away and had a look at her. She looked older than I remembered. She’d always been full-figured, with a tiny waist, and she’d put on a little weight. The extra weight looked good on her, rounding out her hips and filling out her breasts. She’d changed her hairstyle, too, from the short ponytail she used to wear. Now her ash-blonde hair was clipped short, close to her head in the back and around the sides, but she’d left her bangs long. She wore a beret shaped like a small rose in her hair that pulled her bangs so they hung down around her cheeks. She was wearing a pair of tan Capri pants and tennis shoes, with a black sweater over a white t-shirt.
I wondered how I could have forgotten about her.
She was looking me up and down, too.
"Wow. Matt, you look great." She had a curious look on her face. "You look...bigger."
I cleared my throat.
"Personal trainer."
"Really?"
I grinned. "No. Really, just good, clean living."
Her mouth made a little ‘O’ as she took that in. I managed to disengage myself and introduced my date.
"Laura this is Susan. Susan, this is Laura."
The two women glared at each other over gritted teeth. I sat back down and wondered if there was going to be a cat fight.
Laura turned back to me and left Susan grimacing into her drink.
"You look wonderful too," I said. "It’s been a long time."
We made small talk for few minutes, the way old acquaintances do, while Susan watched us quietly.
"You should call sometime, Matt," she said. "I’m sure Ken would like to get together for dinner, or..."
I grinned. I liked Ken, but hanging out with him now that I was on shitty terms with his sister didn’t really appeal to me.
"I dunno, Laura. I..."
Then she got excited and snapped her fingers.
"Hey! How would you like to go to the art festival with me, like we used to talk about?"
That was something else I’d forgotten about.
Laura and Ken had gone through a phase where they decided to collect ‘art’, and were enamored of this particular local painter. During a short period of flirtation, Laura had asked me to go with her to this weekend long festival.
I was never sure of Laura’s motives when she invited me, but mine sure weren’t pure when I agreed to go. And Ken and Jennifer didn’t seem to be aware of any issues regarding the two of us shacked up in a hotel alone for a weekend.
Unfortunately, it never happened.
"There’s one coming up in a few weeks, and I was going to go by myself, ‘cause Ken’s going to be out of town." She rummaged around in her purse and found a pen.
"Here, let me give you my cell number."
She scribbled a phone number on a napkin and handed it to me.
I glanced at it. "I still have your home phone somewhere too. I think."
She looked a little uncomfortable.
"We moved again, out to Westlake, and Ken wanted to get rid of our land lines when we bought the new house."
I caught Susan’s expression out of the corner of my eye. Ken was a big-time computer geek, and his firm was under contract with a bunch of the large, better-known companies in town. I knew he was earning some serious money, but they must be doing better than I thought to afford a place in Westlake.
Even Susan, whose husbands’ net-worth was easily in the umpteen-millions, raised her eyebrows.
"So this is the best way to get a hold of you?" I asked.
"Right."
Laura looked over at her friends, who were arguing over their bill. She leaned over, and her scent wafted past me again as she kissed me on the cheek.
"I should probably go." She slung her bag over her shoulder. "Call me if you want to come along?"
I nodded.
She spared a glance at Susan as she left the table.
"Nice to meet you. Hope you have a nice dinner."
Susan gave her a little, tight smile as Laura walked off.
"She seems...nice. How, um, do you know her?"
I grinned. A little jealousy right off the bat. That was a good sign.
We spent most of the meal talking about my minute-long marriage, and Susan slowly unwound after a few glasses of wine. Eventually the conversation wound its way back to her marriage and her kids. I asked her why she was spending the weekend alone, without her kids. She told me that they already made plans with their dad to go up to the mountain and spend the weekend camping.
Midway through the main course, she excused herself to use the ladies room.
I pulled out my cell phone and watched her butt swish as she walked back to the restrooms.
Melvin answered after the second ring. I told him where I was, and who I was with, and he chuckled in disbelief.
"Don’t fuck with me Matt."
I grinned at Susan’s ass as she slipped into the restroom.
"Never, Mel. She just went to the ladies room, so I need to make this quick. Remember what we talked about at the convention?"
"Of course I do."
"This is the perfect opportunity to start."
"You’re shitting me." I heard him puff on one of his ever-present cigars. "You’re serious, huh."
"Like a heart attack. But we don’t have a lot of time, Mel. You’re in or you’re out, no qualms."
He was quiet for a heartbeat, and then, "What do we need to do?"
I outlined my plan and gave him some quick instructions. When I finished, he chuckled again, and it was an unpleasant sound.
"You want Angela in on this?"
"No, not now." I’d considered it, but this wasn’t quite her thing.
"We’re gonna need some muscle."
"Yeah, I know. My man Roscoe is back in town. We’ll use him."
I could picture Melvin rolling his eyes. "Do I know him?"
"No, but he likes hurting people. You’ll like him."
"All right. I’ll get everything moving. You need anything else?"
"Nope. But we’re going to try out your new stuff this weekend, too."
He whistled. In addition to his other interests, Melvin also dabbled in some designer drugs. I didn’t need to use them to get what I wanted from Susan tonight, but Melvin had been itching for a situation to try them out.
"Damn. I love you like a son, Matt. You know that, dont’cha? After this, we should get together with Angela and celebrate."
I grimaced. It was another story, but Angela had been trying to bed me since Melvin introduced us. And as twisted as my sexual appetites had become, the last thing I wanted was Angela’s dick in my ass.
Or mine in hers, for that matter.
"Mel, you call me if you need me. I’m going to keep Susan busy tonight, but I’ll be by in the morning."
I told him how to get in touch with Roscoe, and we hung up.
Susan was still in the restroom, so I had still had a little time. I fished a little paper packet from my pocket, tore it open, poured its powdery contents into Susan’s water and stirred it in.
I wiped my spoon clean as Susan walked back to the table. She wobbled a bit as she sat back down.
"You okay?" I asked.
She smiled sheepishly. "I’ve been on pain medication since I hurt my back, and I haven’t really had anything to drink for a while." She reached for her water, took a sip. "I’m just a little woozy."
"Maybe we should get a little fresh air," I suggested, "or would you like some dessert to go with that water?"
Susan took another sip and smiled. "I never got my ice cream."
I signaled for our waitress.
ÂÂ
By the time we finished dessert, she was flushed and breathing rapidly. And after I assured her there was twenty-four hour security at the mall, she agreed with me that it might be a better idea if I drove her home tonight, and she could pick up her car at the store tomorrow.
I drove her home and Susan leaned on me as I walked her to her door.
She had some trouble finding her keys, and I helped her open her front door when she couldn’t get the key in the lock.
I wished her a good-night with a kiss on the cheek, and she threw her arms around my neck, pressing herself against me.
Looked like Mel’s little concoction was working just fine.
I enjoyed the kiss, sucking on her little wet tongue as it poked into my mouth. She panted as she kissed me, with quick, hot bursts, and I could taste the wine on her breath. She played with my hair, and I nuzzled her neck and kissed her ear, then pushed her away.
Susan grabbed for me, but I held her by her shoulders, looked into her half-shut eyes and said, "Susan, are you sure you want to do this?"
She tried to focus, blinking rapidly, then grabbed me by the wrist and pulled me into the house.
We made it into her living room, and she tripped and fell on the floor. I shut and locked the door, and turned to find her down on her knees and elbows, her ass up in the air and her head rolling, panting like a dog. I placed my foot on her ass, and her face mashed into her carpet.
I grinned as she moaned, her butt wriggling in the air. She was conscious, but just barely.
There’s something about a woman’s ass poking up at me that just blows me away, and I’d wanted to fuck this one for a long time now.
Melvin once told me that he never understood why men just didn’t pay for a night with a prostitute instead of dating women. His reasoning was that the price of an evening with a pro was usually about the same as an evening out with some regular bitch, and with a hooker, you always knew you’d be getting some at the end of the date.
I figured that tonight I’d spent enough on dinner to justify fucking Susan.
So I pulled off my shirt, kicked off my shoes and dropped my pants, just about that fast. I dropped to my knees behind Susan and unzipped her skirt, slipping it down over her hips until it bunched around her knees, and ran my hand up the inside of her thigh, cupping her crotch.
She moaned, and her butt jerked up a little higher, pushing her pussy against my hand. A dark, wet patch stained her stockings, and I ripped them open, splitting them up her ass, then grabbed her black panties and ripped them apart too.
I pulled her bare ass closer, and leaned over and shoved my tongue into her pussy, making Susan groan again and shove her ass against my face.
I really hate going down on women, on general principle, but I had fun eating Susan out. By the time I pulled my dick out of my underwear, it was screaming at me to fuck her and she was soaking wet.
I straddled her, my legs outside hers, and pushed the tip of my dick into her pussy. It clamped down on me, and I bent over her back and grabbed her tits through her blouse.
Then I shoved my dick into her as hard as I could.
Susan’s head snapped up and she let out a wail as about six or seven inches, maybe half my cock, pounded into her cunt. I squeezed her tits tighter and held on as her entire body bucked and lurched underneath me.
"OhhhhGoddd...!" Susan cried out and she wiggled and squirmed, but the drug had taken full effect and she didn’t have the strength to fight me off. Her arms couldn’t hold both of our weight, and she collapsed, face first, onto the floor, with my dick keeping her ass propped up in the air.
I pushed harder, slowly, until my belly slapped against her butt, and started ramming my hips against her ass as hard and fast as I could, shoving my cock into her until I came, blowing a load of cum into her so hard it oozed out of her pussy and down her legs.
I rolled her over, my dick still stiff and throbbing, wedged deep in her twat, and I ripped her blouse open down to her navel.
She was wearing a black satin bra that matched her panties.
"Ohhh..."
Her eyes rolled in her head and she drooled down her cheek as I leaned over and pulled the cups of her bra under her breasts. Her tits were amazingly firm; big and juicy, with hard, little brown nipples that stood at attention as I played with them.
"My, my, Susan, what nice titties you have," I chuckled as I ran my hands over her tight belly.
She was in fantastic shape. I could see the smooth muscles in her stomach twitch as I started to slowly fuck her,
Well, well, well, I thought. Look at Mrs. Snooty-Ass, Mrs. Holier-Than-Thou, hot for dick.
She clutched at me with her hands, and I let her pull me down on top of her. I felt the warm flesh of her breasts press flat against my chest and the silk of her stockings as her legs wrapped around my back.
"Fuck me, fuck... me..." she panted.
I pressed my lips on her open mouth. This was going to be a lovely evening.
Susan woke up with a screaming headache.
"Oh, God."
She groaned, threw off the covers and leaned over the side of her bed with her head nestled in her hands, willing the room to stop spinning.
That’s what you get for mixing pain-killer and wine, she thought.
Susan managed to stand up, and shuffled carefully into the bathroom, rubbing her swollen, tender eyes. Susan turned on the faucet and splashed cold water on her face, then grabbed a towel and looked up at herself in the mirror.
"Oh, God," she said again, and her mouth opened in horror, the towel frozen halfway to her face.
She was naked, with bruises that looked like fingers criss-crossing her breasts, her wrists and her ass. Her neck and shoulders were a mass of angry red hickies and bite marks, and more bite marks covered her nipples.
Susan desperately tried to remember what happened last night, but after dinner, only little bits and pieces came back to her.
She remembered feeling a little light headed because of the wine, and going to the restroom to try and clear her head. The walk seemed to help, but then during dessert she started feeling giddy again. And she remembered Matt suggesting that he drive her home. She’d agreed after he had to help her out of the restaurant and back to his car. And then Matt walking her to her porch, and kissing her cheek...
"Oh my God!" Her hand flew up to her mouth. "I threw myself at him!"
More bits came flooding back as her head slowly stopped swimming.
Susan remembered feeling incredibly horny during their drive home, and wondering if Matt knew. Remembered wondering what he’d do if she just leaned over and gave him head, like she used to do for Mike, back when they started dating. She remembered losing control and pulling him into her house, and, and...
"Oh my God!"
Just fragments now. Matt pulling at her clothes, lying on her, his hands moving over her, his mouth on her body. She remembered her first orgasm, the first orgasm she’d had with a man in years, Remembered Matt’s penis ripping into her...
"GgggnnnnOOOOhhh!"
Suddenly her legs quivered and the room spun around her, and Susan almost fell over as a wave of pain and lust ripped through her. She grabbed the counter until the room stopped spinning.
"I can’t believe you let him fuck you," she told herself in the mirror.
Susan shook her head at her own stupidity.
For a second, she wondered if he’d drugged her, and then shook her head again. She’d been with him the entire meal, until she’d gone into the bathroom. She was already pretty drunk by that point, and she’d managed to do that all on her own.
She looked at her body again in the mirror. "Looks like he enjoyed himself," she muttered.
Susan patted her face dry with the towel and dropped it on the counter, then shuffled bow-legged back into the bedroom. She figured Matt left after he was finished, but noticed that the other side of the bed looked slept in. She looked around and found a trail of her clothes leading back into the living room, and followed them down the hall, picking them up as she went, wondering how she made it to bed.
She knew she’d been fucked hard - her pussy ached and her legs were sore - but even with the pain in her crotch, she still felt a little horny. She wondered what Matt looked like this morning. She found herself hoping that he was walking around as tenderly as she was, and grinned.
In the living room, she found her shoes and an open bottle of wine on ice with a card.
"Matt?" Susan looked around, wondering if he was still here.
When he didn’t answer, she dropped her armload of wrinkled clothes on the couch, opened the card, and read to herself:
‘Sorry I couldn’t stay, but you looked like you were going to sleep in and there were a few things I needed to take care of this afternoon. I thought you might be a little hungry when you woke up, so I left some ice cream in the fridge, and there’s pizza to go with the wine. No movies - sorry, the Soaps’ll have to do. Enjoy lunch, and I’ll stop by tonight around 8-ish. Maybe we can go see something later. Matt’
A wonderfully warm little tingle washed through her as she read the letter, settling in her crotch.
Susan realized she was holding her breath and let it out with a whoosh. She tapped the card thoughtfully, and a little smile snuck across her face.
Damn him, she thought, unable to wipe the silly grin off her face. The last thing I need right now is to have an affair.
Lately, her career was glowing. In another four years, with her record and recent accomplishments - plus the help of Mike’s family name - she might have a realistic shot at Washington. She sighed, exasperated with herself. She and Mike had been so careful when they finally decided to split up and live alone - appearances were everything in their businesses. That was one of the few things they’d ever agreed on, and now Susan felt absolutely stupid to have been seen in public with Matt.
Inwardly, she kicked herself again. Who knew if anyone got any pictures of them together, or what kind of gossip might be circulating.
She couldn’t get involved with a scandal. Not now, not with the decency bill still bouncing around, waiting for the voters. News of this would kill the bill and make her a laughing stock in her firm, in politics, even her social circles.
What the hell got into her, kissing him out on her porch, for all the neighbors to see? And drunk, too? God, just how dumb could she be?
Memory of the hickies and bruises covering her body popped back into her mind, and Susan groaned. How was she going to hide those? It was almost summertime; she couldn’t just pull a turtleneck over them.
She dropped the card and poured herself a glass of wine. She sipped at it while she pondered damage control.
How bad was this really?
Susan knew several of her female colleagues in both law and politics who kept lovers. But they were typically college students who were happy getting laid once or twice a week in return for a decent apartment, not grown men with a life of their own.
Susan wondered if Matt would settle for just a one-night stand.
Not that Matt wasn’t attractive. She’d always thought he was kind of cute, and he’d always been a flirt, even when she was still married. But if anyone found out that she was sleeping with some regular guy with no money, no aspirations...!
Well, that wouldn’t do.
She curled up naked on the couch with her glass and tried to think things out. The wine was making her warm, and she felt an odd tingling spreading through her. It made her smile, and she rubbed her belly, enjoying the sensation.
A brief memory, just a flash from last night flitted through her mind, of Matt, lying on top of her, his penis buried in her, gently stroking her stomach.
Susan almost spilled her wine as a wave of horniness flooded through her. She closed her eyes and remembered what she could of him last night, touching her.
She smiled at herself, and her thinking made a complete about-face.
"You got laid," she said out loud. "You got laid, you seduced him and brought him home and you got laid."
Susan shook her head, that crazy little smile stealing back over her face. She suddenly felt almost proud of herself for getting a little out of control.
Matt was the first man she’d slept with since her separation. Even when she and Mike were living together the last few years, they never shared the same bed. And now she was always so damned busy with either work or dealing with her kids, she didn’t have a social life outside of the business dinners or political functions.
Susan sipped her wine, pondering that thought.
Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad thing to let him come over tonight, if she were careful. They could stay in for the evening and watch movies, or she could cook him dinner, and…
She grinned again, blushing, as a wild thought hit her out of nowhere. Susan felt her pussy get wet.
"Maybe I’ll seduce him while we’re eating." She set her glass on the table, licked her lips and closed her eyes, fantasizing. "I’ll sit on his lap and feed him dessert with my fingers, and..."
Susan touched herself and her eyes fluttered closed as a warm, wet flood gushed over her hand. She squirted all over her legs and the couch as she climaxed.
"Oh sh-shit..."
She’d never done that before. Not...ejaculating, like a man.
Susan kept rubbing her clit until her hips jerked and her orgasm subsided. She jumped up as her cum dripped down the inside of her legs and soaked the couch. She shook the moisture from her hand.
Oh God, I’m horny, she thought. And look at me. Here I am, trying to get smut banned from the state, and suddenly I’m masturbating over some guy who had sex with me while I was drunk enough to pass out.
Her stomach growled as she wiped at the wet beads running down her thighs.
She stepped towards the kitchen to hunt down that pizza, and thought again of Matt naked, here in her house with her.
Yeah, she thought. Okay.
Maybe she could him around for a little while longer.
If she was careful.
Susan ate lunch, thinking how sweet Matt had been to bring her food, trying to ignore the hot tingling in her pussy.
Afterwards, she was still horny, enough to need a cold shower to try to cool off. It seemed to help. A little.
After her shower Susan slipped on a silk bathrobe and tried to watch television, snacking on the ice cream and sipping at the wine, but she kept fantasizing about what she wanted to do to Matt later, and she couldn’t seem to pay any attention.
She turned off the television, sighing.
He owed her for last night, she figured.
Susan took a bite of the ice cream and wondered if he’d lick her pussy if she put some down there for him to enjoy.
"Here’s your dessert, Matt," Susan said out loud with a giggle, and she shivered with pleasure as she used her finger to smear a glob of ice cream over her pussy. She spread her legs and rubbed it in. The ice cream was cold and sticky. She dabbed another finger-full onto her crotch, and her nipples popped up.
"Oh. Would you like some there, too?" She asked the empty room. Susan ran her finger around the inside of the container and plopped a dollop of ice cream over each nipple.
"Well, come and get it," she giggled to herself, and spread her legs.
I’m going to need another shower after this, she thought, and closed her eyes.
By the time eight o’clock rolled around, Susan had finished off half the pizza, most of the ice cream and all the wine.
Three more cold showers later, and she was so horny she could barely sit still.
Around four o’clock, Susan had a sexual epiphany, and she hunted through boxes in her closet until she found an old vibrator someone had given her as a joke back in college. She managed to find some batteries that still worked in a junk drawer, and she spent the next several hours naked and spread-eagled on her bed, masturbating.
Where the hell is he? She thought, desperately jabbing the dildo into her soaking wet pussy. The dildo was slippery in her hand and the bedding underneath her was saturated with her pussy juice.
It seemed like the more she came, the more she needed to fuck.
This isn’t helping at all, she thought.
Somehow she knew she needed to fuck Matt.
When Susan finally heard the doorbell ring, she was in the middle of a rip-roaring orgasm. She was coming so hard and moaning so loudly that she missed the bell on the first ring, and she had to literally sit on the hand holding the dildo, breathlessly forcing herself to listen for the bell to ring again.
Nothing.
Susan almost wept out of sheer frustration. Her crotch was burning like it was on fire, and the only thing she wanted was...
Wait. There it was again.
Susan bolted out of bed and ran to her front door. She pulled it open and stood there, naked and panting. Matt stood just outside, his finger halfway back to the ringer with a look of complete surprise.
"Hi," he grinned at her, and Susan launched herself out the door, jumping on him, wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist, kissing him wildly. She felt her pussy rub against his shirt and she groaned, her need for him welling back up like a hunger.
Fuck the neighbors, she thought. She was so horny now she would’ve fucked him right here on the steps, in plain view of God and the world.
"Oh God, finally..."
Susan rained kisses on Matt as he carried her awkwardly inside and kicked the door shut. He tried to set her down but she slid to the floor and fumbled with his belt, trying to get it unbuckled.
"Hey!" Matt caught her wrists, and she shoved her face against his crotch until he pushed her roughly away.
"Oh please, Matt, please, I can’t wait. Please let me fuck you," she begged breathlessly, straining to get her hands on him.
Matt grinned at her flushed face, her disheveled hair. But he tightened his grip and pushed her back onto the floor, and sat on her chest.
Then he noticed the smell.
"Lordy, Sue, you smell like a rotting clam."
Susan moaned as her body took his weight, and she wiggled underneath him. Her hands groped at him until he pinned her arms under his knees.
He cupped her face, forcing her to look away from his crotch. "Looks like you’ve been having some, uh, fun while I was gone."
"Fuck me, fuck me, oh please, oh please," she gasped. He grinned again.
"Persistent little twat. I can see why you’re such a good politician." He patted her face.
She squirmed.
"Please Matt; I need you...right now, I..."
He shook her head with his hands, making her cheeks wiggle.
"You know, Sue, I won’t turn you down, but I’m going to make you a deal. You want to hear it?"
Susan tried to calm down. "O-okay."
"Okay. Here’s the deal." Matt gently played with her hair as he spoke. "We’re going to take this slow tonight, okay?"
She nodded.
"Good. First, since you’re so God-awful horny, I’ll let you give me a little blow job. How does that sound?"
Susan began panting uncontrollably, and a giddy smile lit up her face.
"Looks like that’s a yes. Cool."
Matt unbuckled his belt and unbuttoned his jeans as he spoke.
"If you can make me come, we’ll get you cleaned up and dressed so you look cute, and then we’ll go to a movie like I promised." He grabbed her by the hair with his free hand, pulling her head towards him. "I’ll give you a bath and dress you myself." Susan moaned and almost came at the thought. "Then after the movie, I promise you’ll get all the sex you can handle. Deal?"
Susan managed to nod again, licking her lips.
"Good girl."
He used his free hand to yank his pants down under his crotch and his dick plopped out onto Susan’s upturned face and slid off one side.
He was huge, bigger than she’d imagined, more than twice the size of the dildo she’d been jacking off with earlier. She looked at his cock with a mixture of lust and fear, wondering how she was able to take him last night, finally realizing why her pussy was so sore.
I must’ve been really drunk, she thought.
He grabbed his dick and plopped it back onto her face. It was hot and sweaty, and Susan licked him with the little pink tip of her tongue, making his cock twitch.
She grinned up at him and began slowly running her tongue up and down the bottom of his dick, watching it grow, until it hovered, pulsing, just above her face. He was so big; she wondered how he didn’t get dizzy and pass out from blood loss to his head.
Matt lifted his ass off her chest, his knees and all of his weight pressing hard into her upper arms.
Susan sucked in air as pain bolted up her arms.
"Oww..."
His dick slid down her face and Matt pushed the swollen, purple head into her mouth, cutting off her air with a gurgle.
Her eyes bulged with pain and shock, and she kicked and thrashed under him, but he grabbed her wrists and pinned her arms completely to the floor, shoving his dick deeper into her mouth. Susan heard her jaws crack as Matt used his hips to fuck her face, pushing harder with each thrust, forcing his cock into throat.
He never pulled out, just kept fucking her deeper and deeper. Susan gagged and vomited around his cock, spewing burning bile out from her nose, and she saw spots as her vision slowly turned red and hazy. She knew she was going to pass out from lack of oxygen, and could feel her body getting weaker and weaker. She didn’t have the energy to fight him anymore, and her legs stopped kicking and just flopped to the floor, twitching.
She barely noticed when he was fully buried in her mouth, when his heavy balls smacked her chin and he started to viciously pump in and out of her mouth, pounding her head against the floor.
Susan listened to the smacking sound as his balls whacked her face, and she slowly faded away.
Suddenly, Matt jerked once and groaned. He squeezed her wrists painfully tight as he shot his load, filling her throat with hot, salty cum. He jerked again, spurting more of the sticky fluid into her, and then he slowly pulled out.
Tears of shame and fear and lust ran down the sides of her face as Susan choked and coughed the vomit and cum out of her nose and throat.
"Whooo-boy!"
Matt patted her face and sat back on her stomach, stroking himself and rubbing his thick, wet cock on her tits. Another little twitch sent another spurt of hot cum into the air and over her shoulder, and he sighed happily. He still had her upper arms pinned under his knees, but he’d let go of her hands, and Susan grabbed his dick in a death grip.
He’d almost killed her, but she’d never felt so fucking horny. Still gasping for breath, she started licking him clean.
"That’s my girl," he smiled down at her and pinched her nipples.
When she’d cleaned him to her satisfaction, she wiped the spooge off her face and grinned up at him.
"Did I do a good job?"
He stood up and she grabbed for him. Pins and needles exploded in her numb arms as the blood began to circulate again.
"A very good job."
Matt bent over, picked her up and tossed her over his shoulder, making her giggle again.
"All right. Let’s go pick out some clothes."
As he carried her into the bedroom, patting her bare ass, Susan wondered just what the hell was happening to her.
The bedroom smelled musky, of sex.
Matt took a look at the vibrator lying on the bed and the big, wet bed-stain and grinned.
"Nice dildo, Sue." He patted her ass again.
She grimaced, embarrassed.
"I wouldn’t have needed it if you’d stayed with me today."
Matt carried Susan into the bathroom, propped her up in the shower and turned on the water. He stepped out of his clothes, and then slipped into the shower with her, taking her into his arms.
She melted into him, trying to kiss him, but he turned his head away.
"Uh-uh. Not until you’ve brushed your teeth, kiddo. Your breath smells awful."
Her hands flew to her mouth, remembering the vomit.
What the hell did he expect after that, minty fresh?
He grabbed her by the shoulders and spun her around, holding her tight, and kissed her neck.
Susan felt his dick slide up the inside of her leg, and she pushed her ass against him, bending over, reaching for him between her legs. She gripped his cock, marveling at how big he was, and guided him to her pussy.
This is what she’d been waiting for all fucking day.
She spread her legs wide and braced her hands on the tile wall of the shower, arching her back to give him better access to her body. He grabbed her around her waist, and she gasped as he pushed into her.
"Oh God!"
Susan pushed her ass against him, urging him on. It hurt, but her pussy was so relaxed from her day of masturbating that he slid right in. She felt him cup her breasts and pull her closer to him.
He kissed her cheek and whispered into her ear:
"Whose little bitch are you, Sue? Are you my little bitch?"
She managed to lick her lips and nod as she ground her ass against his crotch.
"I want you to say it, Sue. I want to hear you say it."
Susan touched his face, ran her hand through his wet hair as she shower poured down on them. She tipped her head as he nuzzled the soft flesh of her neck.
She licked her lips again.
"I’m yours Matt."
"All mine?"
She nodded blissfully.
"All yours. I’m...all y-yours. Your l-l-little bitch."
Her orgasm flooded over her, and she felt her own hot juice running down her legs as Matt, her man, slowly, gently fucked her from behind.
ÂÂ
Afterwards, they toweled each other dry, and he let her brush his hair. Susan liked the way he looked naked. He was tall and his body was tan and rugged and hard, with a light dusting of hair around his groin and chest, on his arms and legs.
Susan mentally compared him with her husband, and suddenly decided she had no idea why she’d ever been attracted to Mike. He was just never her type, except for maybe his intellect. Physically, Matt was so much bigger than Mike - in every way. Even now, soft and flaccid, his cock was massive. She ran her finger the length of him and cupped his balls. They were soft and heavy in her hand. She thought carrying that load around must be uncomfortable.
Susan jumped a little as his cock throbbed, then grinned at him.
"What do you do when you get horny?"
He looked at her with a goofy smile.
"You mean like a few minutes ago?"
She blushed.
"No, no, I mean, when you’re dressed. How do you...you know...carry it?"
"Oh..." He nodded. "It likes to ride straight up, but it pretty much does whatever it wants to do, and pokes wherever it wants to poke."
"Don’t you...I don’t know, have any control?"
He grinned. "Over my dick? Not a bit."
Mike did the same thing."
Matt grinned again. Sometimes he wondered that himself.
"Maybe it is."
"Does it make you do stuff?"
Matt blinked at her, and took the hairbrush from her.
"Like what?"
She shrugged and reached for her toothbrush.
"I don’t know. Like...like..." she shook her head again. "I don’t know. Mike used to say that all men thought with their dicks."
He grinned again, giving her an odd look.
"Wow. What a vocabulary. When did Miss Little Goodie-Goodie start swearing?"
Susan thought about that as she squirted some toothpaste onto the brush and ran it under the faucet.
"Apparently about a day ago, right after we had lunch together."
"Huh. And it’s all my fault, I take it?"
She grinned and pressed her ass into him again.
Matt quietly brushed her hair while she scrubbed her teeth. She enjoyed the feel of his cock pressed against her, suddenly feeling a little horny again.
He set the brush on the counter as she rinsed her mouth and turned back to him, smiling.
"There." She showed him her teeth, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Better?"
He picked her up and kissed her, and she closed her eyes as he cupped her ass and sat her down on the counter.
"Better," he agreed.
Susan felt something poking against her crotch, and looked down to see his dick, hard and throbbing again, pushing into her.
"I thought we needed to go," she whispered.
"It’s okay, everybody can wait for us.
Everybody, who? She wondered.
He kissed her, and she wrapped her legs around his ass, pulling him to her.
"Just one more for the road."
Her body twitched as he entered her, and she knocked her toothbrush clattering into the sink.
"Okay. Just...o-one...m-m-more..."
Unbelievable, Susan thought. I’m still...horny.
Her pussy was burning up, and little beads of moisture still dripped down her legs.
She shook her head.
Here I am, she thought, naked with a man I barely know, who’s just fucked me silly twice - hell, almost choked me to death with his cock - after spending all day playing with myself, and I can’t get enough.
It was beyond anything she’d ever experienced. It was like an overwhelming physical need.
Matt had just stepped into the bedroom after they’d finished their last bout of lovemaking, leaving her in the bathroom.
Something in her body screamed at her the minute he left the room and Susan had a completely irrational, crazy feeling that he was going to leave. She bolted out of the bathroom after him, and almost knocked him over as he bent over and picked up his clothes.
The sight of him bent over with his ass in the air sent the room spinning around her, and she had to grab him to keep from falling down.
"Hey!" he laughed at her as she clutched him in a panic.
This definitely isn’t normal, she thought.
Matt was more right than he knew when he called her a goody-two-shoes. Until Mike, she’d only had a couple boyfriends during high school and college. She never had the time, or any interest, really. And those didn’t stay around very long, after they learned that her education and then her career came first, before anything else.
She’d been a virgin until her senior year in college, until a friend invited her to a party in the football dorm with him.
Susan closed her eyes at the memory. He’d given her a cup of punch, telling her that she didn’t have to drink if she didn’t want to. The punch was good, and she’d actually started to wind down and enjoy herself. A cup or two later, though, and the party was swimming around her, and her ‘friend’ had her pinned to a couch, ripping at her clothes.
She woke up two days later, back at her room, naked and alone, looking and feeling a lot like she had when she woke up this morning. Even now, she had no idea how many times she’d been raped while she was unconscious, or how she got back to her dorm.
Later, Susan learned that she wasn’t the only girl invited to the parties and molested. In fact, it was a party ritual: every weekend, a couple girls who weren’t with the jock click were lured to the party and drugged, then raped, by whoever wanted them over a period of a couple days.
They were just another party favor.
Susan reasoned that she was lucky; she never got pregnant, never caught any diseases. The whole experience was awful, but she never reported it, and could only remembered bits of what happened.
It was her one dirty secret, her shame.
Susan kept it to herself, never telling anyone. Instead, she used the experience to motivate herself, and eventually, she managed to turn it into a positive, a good thing. She’d finished at the top of her law class, and she met Mike at his father’s firm, after she’d been hired to manage their corporate accounts.
Mike pursued her for months until she broke down and started to date him. And Susan had tried to forget the rape when they finally made love, when they decided to get married and have children.
She tried, but it was always at the back of her mind, and never quite went away. It defined her emotionally and she built her career on the seed of what happened to her. It had slowly poisoned her relationship with Mike, and her kids…
But now, with Matt...
She knew she wasn’t being herself. The coincidences were so strong...
Susan wondered again if somehow she’d been drugged. But it still didn’t make sense. All the sex/rape drugs she’d ever heard of in the course of her work didn’t make you...excited. They knocked you out, or at best just made you incapable of any action. And not for more than a few hours or so...
Maybe she’d just got drunk. And whatever inhibitions she had hit the wind when he took her home. After all, she’d been the one to actually pull him into the house last night.
Susan shook her head a little. She’d definitely lost her inhibitions. Letting him fuck her on her bathroom counter? Mike could barely get her to spread her legs for him in bed, much less in the shower or anywhere else.
She picked up Matt’s shirt, and he let her dress him. She used the chance to explore his body. When she finally buckled his belt, locking away his penis, she felt a moment of…what? Something that twisted in her stomach. Loss?
Maybe.
She kissed him through his pants. Maybe she just liked him. Susan sighed, and he grinned at her.
"Don’t worry. Remember, I promised you all the sex you can handle tonight."
It was like he could read her mind. She patted his crotch and stood up.
"Your turn."
She pulled open her dresser and rustled through her clothes.
"What should I wear? Jeans? I haven’t been out to a movie in a long time."
"Ah-ah-ah. No-no-no. No jeans." He pulled her away and sat her on the bed. "I told you I was going to get you ready, you just sit tight."
He stepped back and looked at her.
"Okay. I dig the prim schoolteacher look you’ve got going, but we’re gonna sex you up a little. Where’s your best lingerie?"
Susan grinned and pointed to the top drawer of her dresser.
"In here?" She nodded and Matt opened the drawer. She saw him whistle to himself.
"Do you actually wear this stuff?" He pulled out a lacy white satin bra, and a black garter belt with a pair of black silk stockings.
Susan blushed.
"Yeah, but not because...I mean, I like to feel pretty. You don’t like them?"
Matt cocked his eyebrow and knelt by her feet.
"What’s not to like? Call me an old fashioned chauvinist, but I think women should dress like this all the time."
He slipped the garter belt up her legs and Susan lifted her hips off the bed to help him.
"Really?"
He grinned. "You bet. Old Hugh got it right."
She was confused.
"Who?"
"No, ‘Hugh’.
She groaned. "Stop that. I mean, who are you talking about?"
"You ever read Playboy?"
She shook her head.
"Are you kidding?"
He grinned again.
"Well, Hugh - Hef - makes all the women who pose for the magazine look very soft and sweet. I’ve had a lingerie fetish since I was a kid."
He rolled up her stockings and she closed her eyes as he slipped them up her thighs. She’d forgotten how cool and smooth the silk felt against her skin. He attached the stockings to the belt with their little clamps, and pulled her to her feet.
"Keep your arms up. Just like that."
He pulled the bra straps over her arms and reached around her to clasp the back. She kissed his neck as she felt him struggle with the snaps, and giggled at him.
"Hey, look, don’t mock me, I prefer leaving these things on," he said, grinning back at her. "Or I just rip ‘em off. I’m not a pro at putting them on, especially when I can’t see what I’m doing."
Susan pushed him away and reached behind her back, snapping the hooks into place. She adjusted the straps and cupped her breasts for him.
She remembered a line her son had used on his girlfriend.
"Daddy like?"
Matt laughed and pinched her ass.
"Very perky."
He pulled a black slip out of the drawer, and she leaned against him as she stepped into it.
"Okay. Skirts and blouses," he asked as he settled it around her waist.
She pointed again. "Um, there and there." He bent over and searched through the drawers. "Uh, Matt, what about panties?"
He looked up at her and shook his head.
"Nope."
"But..."
He stood up, holding a white silk blouse and a black skirt.
"I said no." He shook out the blouse. "Now give me your hands."
He slipped the blouse on and buttoned it to the bottom of her breasts, leaving the collar open and showing off her cleavage, and then he buttoned the cuffs around her wrists. She could just make out the soft, lacy outline of her bra through the gauzy material of the blouse.
He shook out the skirt for her and she stepped into it, letting him pull it over her hips, and she helped him tuck in her blouse while he zipped her up. She started to finish buttoning her front, but he smacked her hand.
"Ow!"
"Stop it, then." He looked her up and down. "Jewelry?"
She opened a carved wood box on the dresser, and she grinned when he found her favorite pearl earrings. She felt another small tingle shoot through her body when he put them on for her.
"There’s a necklace that goes with these..." She stopped as he shook his head.
"Good idea, but no again. Do you have a jacket that matches that skirt?"
Susan opened her walk-in closet and searched through her clothes. She pulled out a black jacket and slipped it on. Matt stopped her as she tried to button it.
"Leave it alone." He looked in the closet. "All right. Now shoes. You have any high heels?"
She pulled out a pair of black pumps and slipped them on.
"Perfect."
She turned on the overhead light and looked at herself in the mirror at the back of the closet. Matt held her hands, and she spun for him.
"Okay, just two little things."
"What?"
Matt held her left hand and slowly pulled off her wedding ring.
"We get rid of this."
A flash of guilt ran through her as he tossed it casually onto the floor.
"Oh! Matt, that was..."
"Nothing. That was your old life." He cupped her chin in his hand, made her look him in the eye. "Whose bitch are you?"
"W-what?"
He shook her a little.
"I said, 'whose bitch are you?'"
Fear ran through her for a second, until she remembered the shower.
"I’m your little bitch," she said quietly.
He grinned and grabbed his jacket, pulled something out of his pocket.
"Good. Turn around."
He faced her towards her mirror and stood behind her.
"Hold your hair up, out of the way."
She folded her hair over the top of her head, and a prickling, burning sensation ran through her as he buckled a thick, heavy leather collar around her neck. He put it on tight, and she ran the tip of her finger around its edge.
"There. Now you’re mine."
She stared at him.
"What are you talking about?"
The look on his face scared her a little. He looked at his watch.
"Come on. We need to go."
ÂÂ
She was horny again, squirming around in her seat, playing with the collar around her neck.
What the hell did he mean, ‘now you’re mine’?
When she asked him again, Matt just smiled at her and said, "Shhh. You’ll see."
So damn weird. But she was definitely ready again, wet and waiting. She had been ever since he buckled on the collar.
The whole business was baffling, and Susan was so distracted, she never thought to ask where they were going, or what they were going to see, until Matt backed into a parking spot and turned off the car.
"Here we are."
He got out and walked around to her side of the car, holding out his hand for her. He helped her out and she looked around.
Susan recognized this place.
They’d driven to one of the oldest sections of town, to the oldest movie house in the state, the Carver Theater. About fifteen years ago, when all the multi-plex theaters started popping up around town, business here had slowed enough that the old owner had sold the Carver for what pittance he could, and the new owner had turned it into a porno house, showing movies for the trench-coat-pervert-kiddie-rapist crowd.
This was one of the places her bill, when it passed, would help get shut down.
"You’ve got to be kidding me."
"C’mon. Trust me."
Matt pulled her reluctantly across the street, to the box office, where a fat, bald man sat, smoking a cigar.
"Two, please. Main theater."
Susan was shaking her head. Something about this felt really bad. A warning bell went off - No no no no no - screaming in her head, and the fat man seemed to blur behind the haze of smoke swirling around in the booth.
"That’ll be Fi’teen bucks."
Susan clutched Matt’s arm and the world seemed to spin around her as Matt handed the fat man a twenty dollar bill. The fat man gave him a five and a couple old-fashioned ticket stubs back.
"Good choice, Sonny."
He winked, and gave Susan a nasty, wicked grin.
"Enjoy the show."
Susan could hear him laughing as Matt pulled her inside. They passed a concession counter, where a skinny man missing his front teeth was busy picking his nose.
Matt examined the selection and turned to her.
"Do you want something to drink, or some popcorn?"
She stared at Matt. He seemed to be having a good time.
The skinny man pulled something green and elastic from his nose.
"Oh, God. No!"
Matt shrugged at the skinny man, who rolled his treasure between his thumb and forefinger.
"Nothin’?" He asked.
"Nope. Guess not."
"Thuit yourthelf," he lisped, and flicked the booger into the popcorn. He leaned over the counter and grinned at Susan as Matt led her to a door. "Hey, don’ worry, ‘hon. It juth addth flavor."
Susan shuddered, and Matt opened the door and ushered her into a noisy theater. She stopped short, letting her eyes get accustomed to the gloom.
The theater was huge, with a balcony above them.
Susan guessed there were about thirty or forty rows of seats running up from the old fashioned stage below the movie screen in the front of the theater. Each row was split into three columns, with about ten seats down the middle and four on each end. She had no idea how many the balcony held.
At least seven hundred seats, and every one looked taken. A loud, excited murmur filled the theater like a strange aura of expectation.
Susan looked around, flabbergasted.
"What are we here for?"
"It’s a special surprise."
What the hell is so special about this place, she wondered. She knew the building was so old it was on a list as a state monument. Maybe this was a benefit to renovate the theater.
"Your tickets, sir."
Susan jumped as a huge man, who looked as hairy as a bear and was dressed in an old-fashioned usher’s uniform, detached himself from the wall behind them.
Matt handed him their tickets, and the tall man shined a flashlight on them.
"Right this way, sir."
The creepy usher led them down the aisle.
She snuck her hand through Matt’s arm, for some reason not wanting to leave him even for a second. The loud buzz of voices she heard when they stepped inside quieted to a hush. Susan knew it was just her imagination, but she felt every eye on them as they sat down.
The sudden quiet was overwhelming. Susan felt something like awe directed towards Matt as he settled in, and a barely restrained animosity towards her.
Her little warning bell amped up, but Matt seemed completely relaxed. He smiled at the smelly, stinky creep sitting next to him and they struck up a conversation.
She tried to take in what she could in the gloom as the volume of voices around her slowly rose.
The stage looked real, probably left over from when the building actually had live performances. A small stairwell at each end of the aisles led up to the stage floor and the movie screen. It looked like there was an old, ratty mattress thrown up there, along with some chains and other junk. The room stank of unwashed bodies, stale alcohol, and worse; everybody around her looked like a bum, and they all seemed to be leering drunkenly at her.
If Matt hadn’t been here with her, she would have run screaming from the room.
A scrawny old man sitting to her left gave her a gap-toothed grin, and she leaned against Matt, as far away from the smelly man as possible. Matt smiled at her and patted her thigh, tickling the inside of her leg with his fingers. She felt a little rush of excitement at his touch, and she was instantly wet.
She leaned over and whispered in his ear.
"We should’ve stayed home."
He laughed a little and she moved his hand up her thigh, until it rested on her soft, curly mound. Susan felt her breath catch and she squirmed a little as his hand gently massaged her under her skirt.
God, she thought wistfully, it’s been less than an hour, and all I want to do is fuck him again. I’d even do him in his car.
The room spun around her as Matt’s finger slipped into her pussy, slowly sliding in and out. She closed her eyes and leaned her head on his shoulder, spreading her legs a little for him.
He played with her, and Susan wondered what it would be like trying to have sex with him in his little BMW. Her Lexus would be a lot easier. It was so much roomier... her eyes popped open as she realized that she’d left her car in Matt’s parking lot.
The scrawny old man next to her cackled wetly, coughing up a chunk of phlegm that he spit onto the floor. Susan stared at the man until she realized he was watching Matt rub her pussy.
Oh God, what am I doing?
She grabbed Matt’s hand and pushed it away, slapping her legs together and bolting straight up in her seat. Matt looked at her, surprised, and the scrawny man pointed to his hand and gave Matt a thumbs up.
Susan stared at the stage, blushing furiously as the scrawny man elbowed her arm and wiggled his eyebrows at her.
Matt just grinned and rubbed her thigh again.
His touch seemed to calm her down a bit. Susan started to relax as the fat man from the ticket booth was led down the aisle by the huge usher. He climbed the stairs to the stage, and the crowd applauded him. He bowed with a flourish, taking a microphone from the usher, who stepped back into the shadows.
The fat man tapped the microphone, sending a loud whine through the speaker system, and he grinned at his audience.
"Is this thing on?"
The lights dimmed even further, and the screen in back of him flickered to life. The fat man’s image loomed over the crowd.
Susan stared, then blinked, and stared again.
The man’s image on the movie screen was clear as day. But the real man, standing just a few feet in front of her, kept blurring in and out of focus, just like he had when he sold Matt his tickets.
Susan looked away. The rest of the crowd didn’t seem to notice. They just stared up at the stage, laughing at the man’s stupid jokes. Susan closed her eyes and shook her head. She’d assumed that all the smoke in the little booth had obscured her vision before, but now she wasn’t so sure. He still chomped on a cigar, and she could make that and the microphone out fine, but his face was just a dark, black blur.
Susan felt a knot of fear grow deep in her belly. Then she realized he was talking about her.
"And I’d like to welcome a special couple to tonight’s show. My buddy, Matt (a loud round of applause for Matt, who grinned), who you all know organized this little shin-dig, and his... (Susan saw the man’s face clearly for a second, then it melted away until she could just see his eyes, his shiny, beady little black eyes glaring down at her) ...lovely, lovely new friend, the reason we’re all here, your State Rep., Ms. Susan Manning!"
Oh, God! He didn’t just say her name, did he?
Panic surged through Susan as the man linked her with Matt. She felt her carefully constructed career suddenly slipping away.
And then she realized that he’d said ‘Ms.’ Not ‘Mrs. Susan Manning’ - ‘Ms. Susan Manning’. The irrational feeling of dread bubbled up and over, making her shiver.
Up on stage, the fat man was waving in their direction.
"Matt, why don’t you come on up and tell us what we’re going to be seeing tonight."
Susan couldn’t speak. She grabbed at Matt, not wanting him to leave her, but her hands groped at air as he stood up and waved, then bounded up the stairs to the stage to a standing ovation. The usher handed Matt another microphone, and he grinned out at the crowd. The fat man held up his hands, and the applause gradually settled down.
Matt cleared his throat.
"I’m sure you’re all excited to get the movie under way, but I’ll give you a quick introduction. What you’re about to see is a quick cut of footage that we shot last night, so Melvin and I will narrate as we go along." He shaded his eyes with his hand and looked up towards the projection booth. "Let’s get rolling, shall we?"
Susan hugged herself, crossing her arms under her breasts, and tried to sink back into her seat.
What the hell could this be? After two nights of complete weirdness, Susan thought she was ready for anything.
She was wrong.
ÂÂ
The sound of a projector turning clicked away from in back of the theater, and the screen went dark, fading into a shot of a teenage girl, sobbing hysterically and running for her life through a rough-hewn, rocky tunnel.
The film was shot from what looked like a series of video cameras mounted on the walls and roof of the tunnels. It cut choppily from one position to another as the girl ran, turning corners, moving from one tunnel to the next.
The girl was naked except for a few clothes that were ripped and torn. And just steps behind her, an impenetrable black mass of rolling, tentacled shadows pursued her.
The girl caromed off a wall and fell, sliding on a rough, concrete floor. She scrambled with her feet and shot forward again, running full-tilt into a heavy door.
Susan got a good look at the girls face as she jerked the door open, and her hand shot to her mouth.
"Oh God."
Susan’s hand trembled as she recognized the poor girl, her face a mask of fear as she ran from whatever was chasing her.
"Rachel?"
Even as she said her name, Susan knew. The girl on the screen was her daughter.
Matt’s voice cut through the fog of fear that had settled around her, and Susan looked at him, happily smiling down at her from the stage.
"She’s really quite pretty when she’s frightened, isn’t she Sue? I never thought she was attractive before, but watching her now, well..."
Matt paused, and on screen, Rachel threw her slim body against the heavy door, pushing it shut. She was in a dark warehouse, and she turned and cringed like a trapped animal as rows of floodlights snapped on, one by one.
"Here’s our big scene, everybody." Matt told his audience.
Rachel leaned against the door, panting with terror, as a circle of a dozen muscular, naked men wearing nothing but black leather bondage masks closed in around her. In the middle of the circle, two more men, naked and leashed with heavy chains, frantically clawed the air at the sight of her.
Susan felt her world tilt at the sight of her husband and her son Todd, Their faces were twisted almost beyond recognition, and they pulled frantically at the chains keeping them from Rachel.
Rachel tried to run again, jumping into the wall of naked men who pushed her into the middle of the circle. She jumped back, whimpering, as her father snatched at her leg.
And then the masked men let him loose.
Susan almost fell out of her seat as she watched her husband attack her daughter, pulling her down and pinning her to the floor. Rachel was screaming as he rolled her onto her stomach and pried her legs open. He wedged himself between her legs, his penis hard and jutting straight out, and he fell on her.
The fat man chortled into his microphone. "She doesn’t look too excited to see her dad, does she?"
The men around Susan chuckled, and Susan felt tears roll down her cheeks as her husband brutally ripped into Rachel, groping and biting as he raped her.
And then the masked men let her son free.
"Can we get some sound for this?" Matt asked from the stage.
Speakers around the theater crackled to life, and Susan covered her ears as Rachel’s screams mixed with the cheers from the crowd.
Todd tried to shove his father off Rachel, and for a second, Susan thought he was trying to help her.
But Mike held on and Todd rolled them over until Rachel was splayed out on top of her father with her legs spread wide open, and Todd grabbed her arms as she feebly tried to fight him off. The cameraman angled his shot from behind Todd, so the entire theater could see Rachel’s face and her crotch as her brother penetrated her.
The crowd cheered again, and Susan screamed along with her daughter as Todd took her in two, quick thrusts.
Susan tried to stand and run, but strong hands grabbed her from behind and wrapped in her hair, pulling her back into her seat.
"You think you’re leavin’?" a voice from behind her growled. "You ain't goin’ anywhere until Matt or Melvin says you can, you fuckin’ bitch."
Susan choked as her dog collar was yanked tight against her throat, and she heard the clink of a chain and a metallic ‘click’, then someone gave two, short jerks against her new leash. He pulled her hair and bent her head back over the seat as someone took Matt’s chair.
"We wanna play wi’tcha for a while, bitch." The man behind her pointed at the movie screen. "’Sides, this shit is just gettin’ good. You don’t wanna miss the end. Uh-uh, nossir."
He let her hair go, and Susan tried to unbuckle her collar.
"Bad idea, bitch!"
The man behind her smacked the back of her head hard enough that Susan saw a white flash of light, and then her arms were yanked over her head. Susan felt cold metal slap around her wrists, and she cried out as her hands were pulled down behind her back, raising her slightly out of her seat and forcing her to bend backwards at the waist to alleviate some of the pressure.
She heard the scrawny old bum next to her chortle, and she gasped as she felt rough, callused hands running over her body, grabbing at her breasts and ripping her blouse open. Susan screamed as the man that sat next to her pulled her bra down under her breasts, then leaned over and sucked at her nipple.
"Oh God, no...!"
She kicked and twisted in her seat, and he bit down hard, sending a bolt of pain lancing through her chest. Out of the corner of her eye, she watched the scrawny old man to her left unzip his pants and pull out his penis, and then he was leaning over her too, licking his lips and running a cold hand under her skirt and up her thigh to her pussy.
On screen, Todd and Mike had developed a rhythm, both their faces scrunched tight as they fucked Rachel.
They had rolled onto their sides with Rachel sandwiched between them, and Mike thrust into her ass, forcing her forward onto Todd, and then Todd pounded into his sisters pussy, forcing her body back against her father.
The man behind Susan held her still, with her hands pinned behind her back and his hand tangled in her hair, forcing her to watch her daughter’s rape. The men who were sitting around her stood and started to line up to take the place of the two men pawing and biting at her body.
Matt and the other men on stage grinned down at her, and Susan squeezed her eyes shut.
"Ah-ah-ah, Susan. You need to see this. Homer, make sure she keeps her eyes open, please."
The man behind her hit her head, over and over. Susan bit her lip and squeezed her eyes together, tears of pain and fear rolling down her face, until the man covered her forehead with his hand and pried her eyelids open with his fingers.
"You do what Matt tells you, bitch! You un’nerstand?"
The scrawny man wrapped one of his legs around hers, forcing her legs open, and was finger-fucking Susan, jabbing his fingers into her pussy as the other man sucked her tits and jacked off in his pants.
On stage, Melvin was sweating like a pig, and his dick was ready to explode. Fuck this shit. Time to get the real show on the road, he thought.
"Gentlemen!"
His voice boomed over the speakers. All heads turned his way.
"Homer, why don’t you escort our new friend up here, if you please, before her suitors take their turns a little early. Manny, will you help carry her up?"
The huge usher appeared, looming over Susan, picked her up like she was a sack of potatoes and threw her easily over her shoulder. Her view spun and she got her first view of the man behind her - Homer - as he handed Manny her leash and climbed over her chair.
Susan gasped with shock.
Homer was a burn victim. He was hairless, and his nose and ears were completely missing. The flesh of his face had melted down over his eyes and mouth, and both his face and hands were covered with mottled, angry red scar tissue.
He leered at her and climbed over her chair. Most of the crowd followed them as Manny carried Susan up the steps to the stage.
On screen, Mike was pounding Rachel’s ass in a frenzy, and he let out a bellow as he came, squeezing her little breasts from behind. When he finished, he rolled off, his hands leaving red splotches across her chest. Todd pushed Rachel to the floor, pinning her hands against the concrete, and fucked her hard enough to make her titties bounce. Todd was pounding his sister so hard he popped out of her as he came, and squirted cum all over the dark triangle of hair covering her little pink pussy.
He collapsed, senseless, on top of her, and the screen went dark.
Manny dropped Susan to her knees on the stage, yanking her leash hard until she choked and kneeled in front of Matt and Melvin.
Melvin bent over her and grabbed her chin in his thick hand. Susan tried to focus on his beady, black eyes as his face swam in and out of focus around them.
His fleshy lips parted in an emotionless grin, and Susan shook uncontrollably as a spasm of lust flooded through her.
"Did you like the movie we made for you?"
Susan felt her pussy get wet at the sound of his voice, and she would have collapsed if Manny hadn’t grabbed the chain linking her handcuffs and held her up by her arms.
"Wh-what did you do to them?" She stammered.
His wicked grin spread further across his face. Susan wondered why she could see that, and his eyes, so clearly, when the rest of him was like a swirling, black cloud, sneaking around the edge of her vision.
"We drugged them, of course, just like you."
"What?"
He smiled and gestured at Matt.
"I’m sure you’ve noticed over the past day or two how strangely...excited you’ve felt. Even now, with these awful men touching you, after what you’ve seen what happened to your family, I’m sure you’re wet and ready for action. Shall we check? Hmm?"
Melvin slipped his hand into her open blouse and cupped her breast. Susan shivered with excitement.
Suddenly, everything fell into place. She glared at Matt, who grinned back at her.
"You did this to me?"
Matt nodded as Melvin yanked her blouse open, giving the men gathering around her a better view of her breasts.
"Matt just slipped you a few small doses of the same drug we gave your family. It’s highly addictive, by the way. You’ll find that you need to ingest at least a small dose every day, or..." He shrugged. "It also has some other, unusual effects. For example, imprinting. Baby birds, when hatched, bond with the first creature they see. With this drug, females who take it experience almost immediate and overwhelming arousal. It’s a perfect date-rape drug, we’ve found. The female is usually conscious and very responsive, at least for a small amount of time. The imprinting happens during sex right after the drug is first taken. And the arousal grows exponentially over time, until satiated."
Melvin grinned.
"Unfortunately, for the female, only the person she was with during the imprinting can actually fulfill the urge." He patted her face again. "I bet you had quite an afternoon, hey? Spent most of it whacking your clam, until Matt came to pick you up?"
Melvin slid his hands down her body and rucked her skirt over her hips. Susan heard the material rip and tear, and a loud cheer went up from the men around her as her naked ass was exposed.
"I think they approve of your choice of clothing, my dear."
Melvin ran his hand over her ass and fingered her asshole. He cupped her pussy with his other hand, and Susan closed her eyes in shame as her body responded to him.
"Perfect. Ready and waiting."
Susan bit her lip as he played with her. He patted her crotch and stood up.
Her voice was husky. "What did you do with my family? Where are they?"
He sighed and lit another cigar.
"Well. As you may have noticed, the drug is not so kind to men. Not kind at all." He shook out his match. "And you, my dear, you have been a very bad girl. As a public servant, you have made many, many of my friends very angry over the recent legislature you’ve proposed. Matt here cooked up a little plan so you can apologize and actually put your job to use benefiting those who you have slandered and disgraced by your conservative muck-raking."
He gestured to the usher.
"Manny, this would be a good time to introduce Susan to our friends. If you would be so kind as to let them in?"
"Sure, thing." Manny grunted and pushed through the crowd. Melvin turned back to Susan.
"And as for your husband. Well, he simply owns most of this town, and most of what he has, I want." He grinned. "Your daughter is fine." He gestured at the screen with his cigar. "And I think she’s going to be a big star, if she keeps giving us performances like the one we just watched. Don’t you boys?"
The men packed on stage cheered again.
"You’re probably wondering how we got to them. Well. Apparently, your daughter had quite the crush on our friend Matt here, and it was a simple thing to get her to let us into the house." He shrugged and smoked. "Truthfully, they didn’t put up much of a fight. We drugged your daughter first, and we let her live her little fantasy about Matt. I understand she was, well, pure?"
He looked at Matt.
"Pure and virginal."
Melvin grinned.
"Pure as snow. Now, your husband was kind enough to show us his will, though not without a little prodding. Did you know that your little Rachel and her brother stand to inherit everything?" He lowered his voice and spit out a chunk of tobacco. "Everything. Not a bit left over for you though, my dear, when your husband passes on. Must be very exciting for your children, I would think. Well. I can’t see why we would need your son, though, since Rachel is now imprinted to Matt. So..."
A growing sense of horror built in Susan as Melvin spoke.
"It seems your family was going to take a little vacation to the mountains. You may not know this, but your husband seems to have had a teensy drinking problem."
Melvin’s face drifted apart and when it melted together again, his grin was feral.
"In a week, or a month - sometime soon - the authorities will get a quick phone call, detailing an accident." He waved at the movie screen with his cigar. "And I thought it only fair to give your husband and son a nice little, well, send off."
The crowd parted as Susan stared at Melvin in horror. The usher pushed back through, followed by a dozen masked and naked men. They pushed the crowd back, and several of the masked men with video cameras positioned themselves around Susan.
The screen overhead blinked back to life, and Susan saw an image of herself looming overhead, completely surrounded by hundreds of evil, vile looking men.
"Y-you killed them?"
Melvin puffed happily, his body fading in and out of her vision.
"I’m afraid so, dear. You see, well, we need your daughter, for obvious reasons. But she’s not yet of age to claim her inheritance. You have, unofficially, become the guardian of her estate. And so, since I don’t have the patience to sit and wait, and despite the annoyance you’ve become with your meddling politics, I need to keep you alive, at least for a while. And luckily for you, Matt managed to convince me you’ll be much more valuable to me in your office than in the ground. So..."
He patted her face.
"I’m going to give you the chance, over the next few days, to personally give a very special apology to each and every gentleman here, who, afterwards, I believe will be more than happy to vote for you at the next election."
Melvin fished a tiny key from his pocket and unlocked her handcuffs. Two of the naked men immediately grabbed her wrists.
"So I will keep supplying you and your daughter with your daily fix. And to keep her safe, you will happily administer your daughter’s estate as I see fit, and you will exercise your political influence and social standing among those new friends of ours who may not yet see eye to eye with my...special needs, shall we say?"
He clapped his hands and looked around.
"Well! Matt, I sense the natives are getting restless. I think it’s time we share this bitch with our friends here." Melvin unbuckled his belt and dropped his pants. "I think I’ll indulge myself as well."
Susan screamed in horror. Instead of the cock she expected, a huge, black slimy monstrosity slithered out towards her.
Melvin grinned at Matt and grabbed Susan by the back of her head.
"You gonna stick around?"
Matt shook his head.
"I think I’m going to pay another visit to her daughter, but I’ll see you in a couple days. Here..." Matt tossed Melvin a round metal ring. "In case she bites."
Melvin grinned and pried open Susan’s mouth. He shoved the ring in, making her gag.
"Let’s make a movie!" he roared.
ÂÂ
Manny and Homer followed as Roscoe helped Matt push through the crowd.
He paused at the door to the lobby, and turned to watch the crowd swarm over Susan. On the screen above, Melvin was forcing his cock into her wide-open mouth.
Something wasn’t right, and Matt couldn’t put his finger on it.
"You okay boss?" Manny clapped his shoulder with a hand the size of a small ham.
He shook his head and looked at Roscoe.
"Where’s Rachel?"
Roscoe licked his lips through the gap where his front teeth should’ve been.
"She’s on a plane to California, justh like you asthked."
Matt nodded. "Good. I want her as far away from here as possible."
"She gonna live with your other little fuck-girls down there?"
Matt nodded.
"You really make her take those drugs?" Manny wondered.
"No."
Homer tilted his head toward the stage. "Melvin wanted you to."
Matt considered how much to tell these three. He’d known Roscoe and Manny for some time now, but Homer was a new member of Roscoe’s crew.
"Yeah. But why?"
Manny shrugged.
"I dunno. It’s not like you needed her to."
"Exactly."
Matt looked back at the screen.
A scrawny old bum had taken Susan from behind and was furiously screwing her in the ass while Melvin fucked her face. Two other men had her hands wrapped around their cocks, forcing her to stroke them, and an assortment of hands groped her body.
The entire crowd of men waited their turn, dicks in hand.
They were all homeless, many of whom Susan’s legislature had displaced, others that had slipped by the police during their sweeps. Even more had just been released from prison. Roscoe and his crew had rounded them up on the night Matt took Susan to dinner, and Matt knew they were as horny as hell. There were hundreds, and Melvin had provided them all with free concessions earlier in the evening, while they waited - everything spiked with a drug cocktail - doping them up for the days ahead.
"You mind if I thtay here and enjoy mythelf?" Roscoe lisped.
"How many other guys do you have here?
Roscoe shrugged. "Maybe ten. Twelve. Somethin’ like that."
Matt nodded. "Sure. Just try to keep things under control, okay? She’s no good to anybody dead."
Roscoe patted Matt’s shoulder and grinned.
"Don’ worry. I’ll fuck her twice for ya boss."
Manny looked at the woman on screen and rubbed at his crotch.
"You want to stay too?" Matt asked.
Manny shook his head.
"Nah. Too many to wait for. I’m gonna go find myself a bar and a ‘Ho, and drink myself stupid. Wanna come along?"
Homer grinned. "Sounds good to me. That bitch’s pussy’s gonna be as wide as the grand canyon in a couple hours."
"All right. You guys go have fun."
The huge man clapped Matt on the shoulder again.
"What ‘bout you, boss?"
Matt pushed open the door.
"I’ve got some stuff to take care of. And I’ve got a date to plan with my old sister-in-law."
Matt watched Roscoe blend into the crowd and took a last look back at Susan as Manny and Homer followed him out the door.
Jack Anderson bobbed his square, chiseled jaw in return and toyed with the gold fountain pen clutched in his manicured hand, clicking it open-closed-open-closed.
ÂÂ
“Running late again, Buddy? Shit like that goes on your permanent record. You don’t want anything to screw up the big promotion. Know what I mean?â€Â
Rob scooted the chair closer until his soft belly pressed firmly into the edge of the conference table, and pretended to sort through the thick ream of paperwork that was laid out in front of him. He absently acknowledged a few guarded hellos from the other well-dressed attorneys already seated around the gleaming, polished walnut table. The gentle buzz of excited conversation began again after Rob settled in.
ÂÂ
Not a typical meeting this morning. Today held a different agenda. Rob had been waiting for this day for months.
ÂÂ
No, longer than that.
ÂÂ
Years.
ÂÂ
Rob glanced at the vacant chair at the front of the room and checked the time on his diamond Rolex. “Where’s the old man? I didn’t notice him out front…â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Dunno.†Jack shrugged. “Waiting till you got here to make his grand entrance.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Rob grinned. He couldn’t help it. “Right.â€Â
           The sudden hush of activity was broken only by the whoosh from the buildings air-conditioning. Rob checked his tie again, and along with everyone else in the room, sat up straighter as Vanden Smith himself (the Vanden Smith – senior and founding partner of the corporate law firm of Smith, Marshall, Adams and Rodgers – that Vanden Smith) breezed into the conference room. Rob felt an aura of great respect bordering on awe fill the room.
ÂÂ
Smith paused at the door and whispered to someone outside the office before entering the room, and then he crossed to the head of the table and smiled down at his senior staff like a proud father on his child’s graduation day. Tiny laugh lines creased his face, tanned an even brown from weeks spent sailing in the Caribbean every summer, his iron-grey hair cut short, his dark blue silk suit immaculately tailored to fit his tall, trim frame. A large diamond pinky ring flashed as he adjusted the knot on his tie.
ÂÂ
He cleared his throat, and at that moment, Rob swore he could have heard a pin drop.
ÂÂ
           “Well. It’s been quite a while since I’ve had the privilege of being in your fine company, hasn’t it?â€Â
ÂÂ
           A low murmur of agreement rose from around the table.
ÂÂ
“First, I want to take this opportunity to personally thank each and every one of you, for all the hard work you put in each and every day.â€Â
           “As you all know,†Smith went on, “since David Rodgers unexpectedly retired at the beginning of the year, several names have been bandied about as to who might be on the fast track for a significant promotion. One or two of those names, I might add, come from this very office.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Smith nodded in Rob’s direction. Rob flushed with pride, and for a brief moment, he felt every eye in the room on him.
ÂÂ
           “Our core company values have never been better represented. We expect nothing less than tireless, selfless hard work from our attorneys. And in return…well.†He paused theatrically and grinned. “Well. Today I am very proud to both acknowledge and reward that very same relentless devotion to this firm from one very impressive individual.â€Â
ÂÂ
He paused for effect before continuing.
ÂÂ
“A person who I believe exemplifies every quality this company stands for and stands as a role model for everyone in this room.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Rob beamed and nodded, letting Smith’s rich, deep voice fade quietly into the background and wash over him. This was his moment, the one he’d committed his entire adult life for. He leaned back slightly in his chair, the leather crackling under his weight. He was confident; waiting impatiently for Smith to finish up with his little speech while the butterflies bounced wildly around in his gut.
Finally, he was going to hear the magic words that would vindicate the last twenty-five years of his life, his utter dedication, his resolve to succeed.
ÂÂ
Smith’s dazzling smile grew even larger, exposing his perfectly even, white teeth. The teeth of a movie star. “And so, without any further formalities, I’d like to introduce you to our new senior partner…     ÂÂ
ÂÂ
This was it! Rob felt the flush creep up his neck to his cheeks, burning the tips of his ears. This was the moment he’d been working towards since he was just a boy, a child, when his asshole old man first called him a fat, stupid loser.
ÂÂ
Smith stood back, extending his arm, and Rob began to stand…
           Mistaken as he was, everyone else took his cue. The entire room stood and cheered as Yvonne Craig bounced through the door, giving a victory salute with her hands clasped together, waving her arms around like a major league slugger after hitting a grand-slam and sending the ball flying over the ballpark fence. She was looking sharp and sexy in a coal black suit, her heavy breasts bouncing in her crème colored silk blouse.
ÂÂ
More cheers and a few cat-calls as she hugged Vanden Smith and left an imprint of her lips on his cheek from an impulsive kiss. Next to him, Rob heard Jack laughing as everyone else in the room applauded loudly.
ÂÂ
Rob fell back into his chair, confused and defeated. The room spun around him, and suddenly he couldn’t breathe. Sweat beaded his forehead and trickled down his back as he loosened his tie, unbuttoned his starched shirt; he felt suddenly claustrophobic, needing air, space.
ÂÂ
He stared at the happy, smiling faces of the people he considered his colleagues, faces that suddenly seemed to mock him.
ÂÂ
How the hell could this happen…?
ÂÂ
He closed his eyes and tried to tune out, tried to escape to his quiet place, but he couldn’t concentrate; the sound of Jack’s harsh laughter rang in his ears. Rob squeezed his eyes even tighter and covered his ears with the palms of his hands, chanting under his breath until the others were seated again, listening intently as Vanden Smith continued to praise Yvonne Craig.
ÂÂ
Smith droned on and on, until his deep voice blurred with the echoes of Jack’s laughter in Rob’s mind, slowly changing, until it was the voice of his father, taunting Rob’s latest failure from beyond the grave.
ÂÂ
You stupid, worthless, good-for-nothing idiot…
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
…and I expect everyone to join us at MacTarahan’s tonight at six sharp and celebrate! I’ve been informed that Old Mac will have an open bar and grill ready for us, so don’t be late!â€Â
ÂÂ
“Hear, hear!â€Â
ÂÂ
“Al-right!â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob groaned inwardly and watched everyone file out, heading back to work and grinning with visions of drunken revelry. He gathered his things and stood slowly. When he reached the head of the table, Vanden Smith cleared his throat.
ÂÂ
“Robert, I’d like you to stay for a moment.â€Â
ÂÂ
He indicated a chair for Rob, who blinked and sat, confused again.
ÂÂ
“Now, then,†Smith sat for the first time during the meeting. “Robert.â€Â
ÂÂ
He punched a password into the computer built into the edge of the table and eased back into the plush leather of his chair. He steepled his fingertips under his chin, watching Rob with narrowed eyes. Rob squirmed uncomfortably.
ÂÂ
“Yes, sir?â€Â
ÂÂ
Smith took a deep breath, exhaled. Tapped the computer screen. “Robert, when we hired you, we made you aware of the priorities of this firm. Yes?â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob blinked, not sure how to answer. “Um, yes. Yes, of course.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Good. You see, we’ve had Yvonne evaluate each of our attorneys’ performance over the last quarter.†Smith smiled, his teeth gleaming. “We’ll spend the next few days speaking with everyone.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh…I see…â€Â
ÂÂ
Smith punched up a file. “Looking at your caseload, we’ve noticed some issues.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Issues?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Mm. The LeineCorp case immediately comes to mind.†Smith raised an inquisitive eyebrow, one of his patented court gestures. “This was a settlement?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Uh, well, yes. They decided to settle after…â€Â
ÂÂ
“I’ve read the case files.†Smith waved his hand, turned to Yvonne. “How many billable hours did we lose by settling this out?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Hundreds, at least. Probably thousands.â€Â
ÂÂ
Smith settled his gaze back on Rob.
ÂÂ
“Hundreds. Robert, do you realize how much money that translates to? Even at a low estimate?â€Â
ÂÂ
Wet stains appeared under Rob’s armpits and his mouth went dry. He shook his head, no. Smith just kept smiling, but the smile never quite reached his eyes. Rob felt like he was pinned to his seat, like a butterfly on display.
ÂÂ
Smith tapped the table with a fingertip. “Yvonne?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Potentially?â€Â
ÂÂ
“That’s fine for our purposes.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Millions.â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob could almost literally see the walls closing in.
ÂÂ
“Millions, Robert. Think on that for a moment. Mil-lions of dollars, lost. Because you allowed the idiots running LeineCorp to settle out of court.â€Â
ÂÂ
The door to the room opened, closed. A cool, air-conditioned breeze stirred the room, and a pair of heavy foot-falls thunked across the carpet and settled to a stop just behind Rob’s back. He resisted the urge to turn around. Smith speared him with another look, and continued with barely a pause.
ÂÂ
“Robert? How many other clients have you allowed to settle this quarter?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Well, I…â€Â
ÂÂ
“Four.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Four, sir? I don’t…â€Â
ÂÂ
“Four. Four multi-million dollar cases.†There went the eyebrow again. “How about for the last year?â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob wanted to run, to hide. “I don’t…â€Â
ÂÂ
“Robert, Robert, Robert.†Smith swiveled his chair back and forth. “Not the kind of track record I look for in my attorneys.â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob felt like he was drowning. He glanced at Yvonne, hoping for a friendly face, some encouragement, but she just stared back at him, her beautiful tanned face cold and impassive.
ÂÂ
Smith nodded at someone over Rob’s shoulder and a massive shadow appeared on the table in front of him. A large, scarred hand clamped tightly around Rob’s bicep, pulling him clear out of the chair like he weighed nothing more than a child.
ÂÂ
“I’m sorry to say it, but we’re letting you go.â€Â
ÂÂ
“What? No…I…you can’t!†Rob stammered, dumbstruck. “I…my things, in my office…I…â€Â
ÂÂ
“Your personal effects are already packed and waiting by your car.†Smith waved his hand, dismissing him. “I believe we’re finished here. Yvonne?â€Â
ÂÂ
She shook her head. “That’s all.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Good. Well, then. Good luck to you, Robert. Clarence will show you out.â€Â
ÂÂ

ÂÂ
Wednesday, 5:55 pm
ÂÂ
At five-to six, a very drunk Rob sat in his Lexus outside MacTarahan’s restaurant with the stereo on loud and an open, half-empty bottle of Jack Daniels resting on the seat next to him. He was staring at the plain white envelope in his hands, turning it over and over.
ÂÂ
Shit.
Shit, shit, shit.
ÂÂ
I can’t believe it…
ÂÂ
His last paycheck from Smith, Marshall, Adams and Rodgers.
ÂÂ
They fired me.
ÂÂ
Fired.
ÂÂ
Me.
ÂÂ
Why? Why? Why?
The same thoughts had been going round and round in his head for most of the afternoon, interspersed with the unshakable need to get rip-roaring drunk.
ÂÂ
Rob couldn’t remember the last time he got drunk. Not like this.
ÂÂ
           A sleek new black BMW pulled to the curb several spaces in front of him. The doors opened, and Vanden Smith stepped out and walked around to the passenger door. A moment later, the car alarm beeped and Smith escorted a smiling Yvonne Craig across the street.
ÂÂ
Smith dropped the keys into her outstretched hand, and then, arm-in-arm, they disappeared into the restaurant.
ÂÂ
           “Holy shit. Lookit that.†Rob whispered, open-mouthed. Suddenly, he knew. He understood everything. “That fucking cunt-hole got me fired.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Half a second later, tires screeched and horns blared as Rob ran across the street after them, bottle of whiskey in hand.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
           Jack caught Rob as he shoved through the crowd in the restaurant lobby, making for the banquet room. He grabbed Rob by the lapels of his rumpled suit jacket and hauled him to a stop. Rob struggled enough that Jack had to shake him to get his attention.
ÂÂ
           “Robster! Hold up man! Where do you think you’re going?â€Â
           Customers standing, waiting in the lobby were staring. The Maitre de raised his eyebrow and reached for a phone. Jack shook Rob, making his head pound.
ÂÂ
           “The hell you are.†He shook Rob again, glancing at the sloshing bottle clutched in Rob’s sweating hand. “Look at you, you dipshit. You’re so drunk you can barely stand up.â€Â
           “Now that’s the Robster I know.†Jack grinned and guided him gently back to the door, nodding casually at a hostess. “Sorry everybody.†Jack tried a goofy grin, hoping he could diffuse the situation. “Just a little ruckus between us lawyers. You know how crazy we get at parties.†He dropped his voice and whispered in Rob’s ear. “C’mon man. You don’t want to do this. Don’t cause a fucking scene here. Go home and sleep it off.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Rob spun around and tried to push past him.
           “Fucker!†He shouted into the restaurant. “I’ll kill you, you fucker!â€Â
ÂÂ
“Knock it off!† Jack manhandled Rob out the door and practically carried him halfway down the block before letting him go and stepping back. “Just go home and go to sleep. Everything’ll look better in the morning. Okay, buddy? Seriously.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “They fucking fired me, Jack. They fired me. He did it, ‘cause…because she’s sleeping with the sonofabitch, and….â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Shit. I know. I know.†Jack pushed open the glass doors and gently pulled Rob outside. He straightened Rob up and shook his head. “Go home, Rob. You don’t want any trouble, do you? You know what’ll happen if old man Smith see’s you here.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Fuck.†Rob groped in his pocket for his car keys. “Fine. Fine.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Shit. You didn’t drive here like this, did you?â€Â
ÂÂ
           “What the fuck do you think?â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Here, give me those.†Jack snatched the key ring out of Rob’s hand, pulled off the keys to the car and handed the others back. “Jesus, Rob. I’m not going to let you drive home like that. Here. I’ll drive your car over to your place later. Now, call a cab and go-fucking-home.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Rob glared at Jack for a second, then shrugged and took a messy swig from his bottle. Whisky ran down his chin, soaking the front of his suit.
ÂÂ
“Arrrh!†he grunted, grimacing like a pirate as the fiery liquid poured down his throat.
ÂÂ
           Jack watched him stumble across the street, tossing the car keys in his hand. After Rob melted into rush-hour crowd, he pocketed them, then adjusted his tie and rolled his neck. A second later, someone altogether different drifted after Rob like a ghost.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
           Rob staggered back across the street and leaned against the brick wall of a hotel, drinking. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and decided he needed to take a piss. He groped his way into an alley behind the building, feeling suddenly like one of the bums he and Jack used to flick pennies at.
ÂÂ
He belched and set the bottle precariously on the edge of an open dumpster. He unzipped his trousers, spread his legs and braced himself with his forearm on the grimy wall. Rob hummed to himself while he pulled out his dick, wiggled his ass around a bit to get the old juice flowing, and sent a warm, steaming jet of urine splattering onto the filthy pavement.
ÂÂ
           “Well, well. Look at you, my friend.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Rob jumped, startled, the last drops of piss soaking his foot. A tall, well-dressed man stood at the mouth of the alley, blocking his view of the street. Underneath a shock of black hair, the man’s eyes seemed to glow a deep, fiery red.
ÂÂ
           “That was quite a spectacle, back there.â€Â
          ÂÂ
           “Holy shit!†Rob blinked. He grabbed for the bottle of whiskey and held it if front of him, like a club. The last of the booze ran down his arm. “Who the fuck are you?â€Â
ÂÂ
           The man just stood there, staring at Rob with his head cocked to one side, a snide little grin twitching at the edges of his mouth.
ÂÂ
           “That’s perfectly good Jack you’re wasting, Rob. We could be drinking that.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “I said, who the fuck are you?†Rob shook the bottle menacingly at the stranger. “…And…and how the hell do you know my name?â€Â
ÂÂ
           The man stepped closer. His teeth flashed white, and his eyes burned against his dark face.
ÂÂ
           “I know quite a bit about you Rob. I know what happened to you at work today; why you’re standing here now in a filthy alley, pissing on your foot, instead of across the street, in the bar, celebrating your promotion with your friend, Jack. As for me? Well.†He spread his hands, and the grin widened. “I ‘m the man that can make your dreams come true.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “What? What the hell are you talking about?â€Â
ÂÂ
           The smile grew even wider, until Rob couldn’t seem to focus on anything else. The rest of the world seemed to fade away, until all he could see was the smile, and the man’s eyes…
ÂÂ
           “Why don’t I let you buy us a few rounds, Rob, and we’ll talk.†The man stood to the side and extended his arm. “How does that sound?â€Â
           “Oh, bloody hell. How did you ever graduate law school if you can’t answer a simple question? No wonder they fired you.â€Â
           “Now, now, Rob.†The man sighed. “Are you a homo?â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Shit. You’re not a fag, you’re English.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Ah. My accent. No, I’m not from that hellishly damp little island.†The man smiled his crazy smile again. “Well, that’s close enough for shits and giggles. Now, how about that drink, my friend? You can tell me your troubles. Perhaps afterwards there will be something I can do to repay my debt.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Thought you said ‘drinks’.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Oh, quite right. I did.†The man grinned about that, too. “Yes, drinks. Plural. Many. More than one. Several, in fact.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Rob tried to think his way through his drunken haze. What the hell, he decided, and tossed the empty bottle toward the dumpster. It shattered in a spray of glass. “Yeah. Sure. Why not?â€Â
ÂÂ
           “That’s my boy.†The man grinned and wrapped a long, thin arm around Rob’s round shoulders. “Let’s spare no expense!†He paused and sniffed. “Hm. I forgot about the urine. Well. Perhaps we can find a less reputable establishment that won’t mind the bloody awful smell.†He waved theatrically. “Now, let’s be off!â€Â
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
Thursday, 6:45 am
ÂÂ
           Vanden Smith checked his teeth in the mirror, licking the tip of one sparkling incisor with his tongue. He tightened the knot in his tie and stepped back, taking stock.
           He turned and stepped back into the bedroom. Yvonne was still asleep, snuggled into the messy covers. Vanden stood over her for a moment, admiring her soft curves, the sleek muscles under her nut brown skin, the luxuriant mass of glossy brown hair strewn wildly about the pillows. Her hair was so dark; it looked almost black in the morning sunlight streaming through the open windows.
ÂÂ
           What a lovely way to spend the last week, getting to know that body. And what did it cost him? A pittance. Barely. He was sure she believed the gifts to be extravagant, and who was he to dissuade her? Let her go on thinking she was…special.
ÂÂ
           In return for his favors, she might actually do better work.
ÂÂ
One of her feet stuck out of the bottom of a tangled sheet. He bent and tickled the bottom, until she flinched and mumbled something incomprehensible into the pillows.
ÂÂ
“It’s getting late. You’ve got a busy day ahead of you, sweetheart. Time to get up.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Mmmn.†She sighed, and flipped over.
ÂÂ
The sheets slipped down, exposing her exquisite breasts, her flat, muscular belly. She grabbed his wrist and pulled him close.
ÂÂ
“Ohh, don’t go.†She touched his face with the tips of her fingers. “Why don’t you come back to bed? We could…â€Â
ÂÂ
“Sorry dear,†Vanden smiled and kissed her. “The limosine will be here any moment, and I can’t miss my flight.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Hmph.†She pouted.
ÂÂ
He kissed her again, ran his hand lightly over her shoulder and squeezed one of those lovely breasts, until her hard, rubbery nipple poked his palm. Then he backed up, slipped out of her grip, and shrugged into his suit jacket.
ÂÂ
“I must go.â€Â
ÂÂ
Yvonne gathered a sheet, wrapping it around her like a toga. She followed him into the front room, tossing her hair back, raking her fingers through it like a makeshift comb. Her feet sank into the thick carpet. He grabbed his briefcase and opened the door. She gazed up at him, looking again into those amazing eyes.
ÂÂ
“When will we…â€Â
ÂÂ
He kissed her, cutting her off. Then he caressed her chin.
ÂÂ
“Checkout time is noon, but you don’t want to be late for work.â€Â
ÂÂ
He smiled, and ducked out of the door.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
Thursday, 7:31 am
ÂÂ
The limo pulled into the terminal, and Vanden Smith waited until the driver opened his door before stepping out onto the curb. His luggage was already scooting to the baggage area. He pulled a twenty from the clip of bills he carried in his pocket and handed it to the driver, who nodded his thanks.
ÂÂ
Vanden smoothed his jacket, and walked into the airport, briefcase in hand. He was in a good mood, until he reached the loading dock for his private plane, only to discover that his pilot was late.
ÂÂ
“This is unacceptable.â€Â
ÂÂ
The fat cow of an attendant smiled up at him with an apologetic look that Vanden supposed was supposed to placate him. Perhaps smooth things over.
ÂÂ
“I’m sorry sir. He phoned in. There was an accident on the freeway, something about a chemical spill, and he could be another hour or so.â€Â
ÂÂ
Vanden tried turning on the vaunted Smith charm.
ÂÂ
“And you don’t have any other flights I could sneak in on?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Well, let me see…†The attendant blushed and checked her computer screen. She typed a bit, then paused and said, “There’s only one other flight this morning…†She shot a sideways glance at Vanden. “…with anything available in first class. But that flight won’t leave until eleven-thirty.â€Â
ÂÂ
Vanden swore to himself, but managed to keep the smile plastered in place.
ÂÂ
“That’s all?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Mmn. Well, there’s a flight leaving at ten. I’ve got plenty left in coach, but there’s a two-hour layover in Denver.â€Â
ÂÂ
Vanden tried hard not to scream.
ÂÂ
“So it would still be faster to…wait for my pilot to arrive.â€Â
ÂÂ
 “Yes, sir.†She nodded. “Probably.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Well. I suppose there’s nothing to do but get comfortable, is there?â€Â
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
           Vanden grumbled about the help all the way to the bathroom.
ÂÂ
           Somehow he found an empty stall without either a puddle of piss on the floor or a stinking load left by the last asshole who couldn’t be bothered to flush the toilet. He hung his briefcase on the coat hanger screwed into the back of the door and did his business.
ÂÂ
           While he was shaking the last drips from his dick, Vanden heard someone else enter the bathroom and start checking the stalls. Someone whistling, doors opening and closing. He resisted the urge to check and make sure he’d locked the door to his stall.
ÂÂ
The footsteps stopped a couple doors down, but the whistling continued, joined a second later by the unmistakable sound of a man urinating.
ÂÂ
           Vanden sniffed. Using a public restroom…
           But, he reflected, situations like this kept one humble. Just another reminder of how everyone puts their pants on one leg at a time. As his father used to say, you can’t lose touch with the average man.
ÂÂ
           Feeling better about his latest contact with the rabble, Vanden flushed and made his way out of the stall to the row of sinks along the mirrored wall opposite. He set his briefcase on the driest part of the counter and turned on the faucet.
ÂÂ
           The annoying whistling continued from the stall behind him as he bent to wash his hands. Vanden turned the water on as hot as it would go and lathered up – you could never be too careful. Places like this were absolute breeding grounds for germs – and rinsed.
ÂÂ
           He glanced up as the stall door opened, and did a double take, staring into the mirror when he recognized the man emerging from the toilet.
           The man grinned, and ran a chubby hand through his thinning hair.
ÂÂ
           “What the hell are you doing here? Are you following me?â€Â
ÂÂ
           The man casually stepped up behind Vanden, pulling something from the back pocket of his trousers.
ÂÂ
           A new leather wallet fell to the floor, unnoticed.
ÂÂ
           Vanden Smith turned to confront the newcomer, soapy water dripping from his hands.
ÂÂ
           “I could have you arrested, you know that…â€Â
ÂÂ
           The man lunged, shoving Vanden against the counter. Fingers knotted in his steel grey hair and yanked his head back, exposing his neck. Vanden brought his hands up, but before he could react, a small blade flicked open and flashed through the air, once, twice.
ÂÂ
Dark blood sprayed the mirrors, the walls.
ÂÂ
The man’s face was serene, almost inquisitive. He held Vanden up with an iron grip as he struggled. Vanden tried fight, but the other man seemed inhumanly strong and held him still; he tried to speak, to call out for help, but a clot of bloody mucus gurgled in his throat, dribbled from his open mouth, drowning his screams. The other man grinned, and his eyes seemed to glow with an inhuman light.
ÂÂ
And then his face melted away.
ÂÂ
           Vanden dropped to the floor in a widening pool of blood, twitching and gasping. He pawed ineffectually at the knife embedded in his neck, his feet kicking at the slick tile floor.
ÂÂ
           The other man watched him die, grinning with the pleasure of the hunt.
ÂÂ
           The other man casually straightened his tie in the mirror as Vanden Smith’s life slowly ebbed away. He picked up the briefcase from the counter and stepped back out into the terminal, blending into the crowd, until he came to the escalator that would take him down two levels to the baggage area.
ÂÂ
He dropped the briefcase on a partially full luggage rack, and left the confines of the airport without a backwards glance as the first shouts rang out from a restroom two levels up.
ÂÂ
A few moments later, in the short term parking lot, a new Lexus roared to life. At the pay booths, someone who looked quite a bit like Jack Anderson handed the attendant a crisp twenty dollar bill along with a parking ticket.
ÂÂ
The attendant counted back the change and raised the cross bar. The man who was now Jack Kennedy grinned and gunned the Lexus out onto the freeway. He glanced at the clock on the dashboard.
ÂÂ
He had one other errand. And then his part of the bargain would be just about finished. He thought about all the fun things he had planned for Yvonne Craig.
ÂÂ
But that would wait for later.
ÂÂ
He cracked open a bottle of whiskey that Rob had left in his car, sipped.
ÂÂ
He was in no hurry. He had all the time in the world.
He groaned and peeled himself, still fully dressed, off the carpet of his living room floor. He carefully pushed himself up to a kneeling position, and when the room stopped spinning, he peeked out of crusted eyelids to find sunlight streaming through his picture window, along with the ugly, bearded face of a delivery man, shouting something garbled and smacking his fist on the window, over and over.
ÂÂ
“Jesus.†He smacked his lips. His mouth tasted like something small and furry died a nasty death in it, sometime the week before.
ÂÂ
Rob lurched to his feet and stumbled to the door, yanked it open to find a truck idling at the curb, and a large wooden crate balanced on the lip of a hand truck standing in his otherwise empty driveway. Rob wondered what the hell happened to his car while the delivery guy took his own sweet time walking up the steps.
ÂÂ
“What’s going on?†Rob asked.
ÂÂ
The delivery guy thrust a clipboard and a pen into Rob’s hands.
ÂÂ
“Robert Wiltsey?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Yeah. That’s me.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Got somethin’ for ya.â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob stared at the guy, then down at the crate.
ÂÂ
“What the hell is it?â€Â
ÂÂ
“I dunno. It’s for you. You don’t know what it is?â€Â
ÂÂ
“No, I don’t know what it is.â€Â
ÂÂ
The guy looked down at the crate.
ÂÂ
“Looks kinda like a coffin.â€Â
ÂÂ
It sure does, Rob thought. “I don’t want that thing.â€Â
ÂÂ
“You didn’t order it?â€Â
ÂÂ
“What? No, I didn’t order it. I just said I didn’t know what it is…â€Â
ÂÂ
“Well, okay. Folks get stuff from family and like that all the time.†The delivery guy spat a green wad of tobacco juice onto the stoop and nodded at the clipboard. “Mind signin’ the delivery invoice for me?â€Â
ÂÂ
“I just told you I don’t want it.â€Â
ÂÂ
The guy shrugged. “I can’t take it back. There’s no return address.â€Â
The delivery guy watched Rob scribble his name on the carbon paper.
ÂÂ
“What if it is a coffin?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Huh?â€Â
ÂÂ
“I mean, there could be a dead body in there, couldn’t there?â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob made a face. “I don’t think so.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh. Really?â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob frowned at him. “Really.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh. Okay. Hey, y’know, I thought you were dead for a second there, lyin’ there on the floor like that. You look like shit, man.â€Â
Rob handed back the clipboard and grimaced, holding his hand up to shield his eyes from the sun. Bits and pieces of the previous evening were beginning to come back.
ÂÂ
“Oh, yeah. I guess you could say that.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Right on. Oh, hey. Almost forgot. This goes with the crate.†He handed Rob a small manila envelope, then stuck his thumb back over his shoulder. “Maybe it’ll tell ya what’s inside that thing. Where do you want it?â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob sighed. “I guess you can bring it inside.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Mind helpin’ me drag it up these steps?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Now you are kidding, right?â€Â
ÂÂ
“It’s a heavy sum’bitch. Barely got it outta the truck.†He peered around Rob, into the house. “Hey, don’cha have any furniture in there?â€Â
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
           Twenty sweaty minutes later, the delivery guy handed Rob a copy of the invoice and drove off. Rob stared at the crate propped up against his fireplace mantle and ran his hand through his thinning hair. He grinned ruefully.
ÂÂ
           Bald and unemployed at thirty. Great.
He glanced around at his otherwise empty house.
ÂÂ
I think I need a drink.
ÂÂ
Rob shuffled into the kitchen and looked around in the fridge for a beer.
ÂÂ
“C’mere, come to daddy…â€Â
ÂÂ
He found the remains of a six pack buried on the bottom shelf behind some leftover pizza. He popped one open and slugged half, dribbling foam down his shirt. He burped heartily and sighed, wiping his mouth on the sleeve of his jacket.
ÂÂ
           “Damn, that’s tasty,†he said to no one in particular, and took another gulp before digging through a junk drawer where he kept the few tools he owned, hunting down a hammer. “Where are you, you fucker…c’mon…there you are…â€Â
ÂÂ
           Rob yanked the hammer out of the drawer and grabbed the last can of beer, dropping the empty on his counter along with all the crap he’d pulled out of the drawer. He cracked the new beer and shambled unsteadily back into the living room, drinking as he went. He stopped in front of the crate.
ÂÂ
           “Now, let’s see what the hell you are.â€Â
ÂÂ
He set the can on the fireplace mantle and picked up the manila envelope. He sliced open a good chunk of his thumb as he slid it through the flap.
ÂÂ
“Ow! Sonofabitch!â€Â
ÂÂ
He sucked at the blood dripping down his thumb and pulled out a single sheet of yellowing parchment. The paper looked ages-old, worn and delicate as fine lace. at first glance the paper looked clean, void of any writing. Rob turned it over, smearing it with a bloody thumbprint, and held it up to the light.
ÂÂ
“What the hell…â€Â
ÂÂ
He could barely make out a few words, a note scrawled in the middle of the page in a spidery script that read, simply, “A small gift between friends. Thanks for the drinks.â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob dropped the paper with a confused shake of his head. He took off his ruined suit jacket and dropped it on the floor.
ÂÂ
“Well, that’s for shit.â€Â
ÂÂ
He stripped down to his t-shirt and took another drink, then swung the hammer. The spikes chunked into the side of the crate, and he started prying at the boards. Long nails squealed in protest as they pulled loose from the rough planks.
ÂÂ
“Huh.†Rob grunted as the crate’s lid pulled away.
ÂÂ
Another box. But this…this was different.
ÂÂ
It was a case made of some smooth, black wood; highly polished to a shine that reflected his haggard face, his stained and rumpled clothes. A small, chipped emblem made of pure white marble decorated the top half of the box.
ÂÂ
The delivery guys’ voice seemed to float back.
ÂÂ
Looks a lot like a coffin…
ÂÂ
“No fucking way. Jesus. You can’t ship somebody a dead body. No. Uh-uh. Nope.â€Â
ÂÂ
Suddenly feeling strangely paranoid, Rob carefully reached into the crate and pulled, but the box inside didn’t budge.
ÂÂ
“C’mon, damn it. Get out of there.â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob rocked the crate back and forth, grunting with the effort. The box inside tipped out, and it took all Rob’s strength to keep it from crashing to the floor. Somehow he managed to lever it to the ground. He stood over the gleaming casket with his legs spread, sweaty and panting, wishing he had more beer.
ÂÂ
“That guy was right.†He whistled between his teeth. “It’s a fucking coffin.â€Â
ÂÂ
The box was about six feet long and three feet wide. It was hinged on one side with a sleek latch on the other, and it was definitely deep enough to put a body in.
ÂÂ
“Unbelievable.â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob tried the latch, but he couldn’t seem to find the catch. It was a smooth, silvery metal plate set flush into the wood, with a small, oval groove in the middle. He pulled and prodded and swore at it, but nothing happened.
ÂÂ
He picked up the parchment again, wondering if he’d missed part of the note.
ÂÂ
“This can’t be that hard to figure out. I…Holy shit.â€Â
ÂÂ
The parchment was completely blank. Rob flipped the paper over in his hands again and again, wondering if he was still passed out drunk, dreaming all this. Then the cut along the side of his thumb throbbed painfully, and he remembered something his mom showed him how to do as a kid, a simple trick with paper, water and lemons.
ÂÂ
“Invisible ink,†He grinned. “Must be. This is some corny shit.â€Â
ÂÂ
He tossed the paper aside again and leaned closer, studying the lock. He rubbed the chunk of metal. It felt almost…warm. And the groove…
ÂÂ
He ran his bloody thumb along the groove, and pressed.
ÂÂ
The latch clicked open…
ÂÂ
“Huh.â€Â
ÂÂ
…and the lid swung out, slowly…
ÂÂ
“Holy shit!â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob scuttled backwards on all fours until his back smacked into the wall. He sat, trembling, unable to take his eyes of the slim body nestled inside.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
So she was sleeping with you?
Well, no, but we had drinks a couple times.
Ah. I see. And you didn’t know she was screwing your boss?
Not till today.
And she was fucking him to get the promotion you wanted?
Guess so.
And then she got you fired.
Rob sighed, shrugged.
Huh. Well, Rob, my friend. I’ll hand it to you. You got royally fucked. Just not the way you would’ve liked.
You can say that again.
The Big Bang.
Uh-huh.
But you didn’t even manage to get your dick wet.
Fuck you.
The dark man grinned.
ÂÂ
Touched a nerve there, did I? Rob, did you know that pussy can make a normal, sane man crazy? Absolutely, completely, certifiably mental.
Yeah. Rob swirled a finger in the spilled beer, drawing wet circles on the tabletop. I think I’m figuring that out.
It’s all about control. You see?
Uh-huh.
Your situation is just one example.
One?
Mm.
What’s another?
ÂÂ
The man leaned forward intently, warming up to his subject.
I can think of many examples of the war between the sexes to illustrate my point. Rape is a perfect example. Extreme, I admit, but still…
Rob peered at the man over the rim of his mug.
ÂÂ
Rape? What the hell do you mean?
It’s the act of control, Rob. Rape is violent and disturbing, perhaps, but that’s all in one’s point of view, isn’t it? And where exactly does the act of rape stem from?
Control.
Exactly.
How do you figure that?
The dark man spread his hands and smiled benignly. Without going into much detail,I simply have some…practical experience regarding the subject, enough to make an observation.
‘Practical experience’? Oh, my God! You mean... you’ve actually raped someone?
The dark man grinned and drained his mug. He slammed the empty glass onto the table and wiped foam from his mustache with the tips of slender fingers.
Let’s just say that I am something of an admirer of human nature. Someone who appreciates and…well, occasionally indulges the more…base impulses.  The dark man leaned even closer. His eyes seemed to burn into Rob’s skull. How are you feeling?
What, about this fucked up conversation?
No, no…about what happened this morning. And since.
I’m pissed off. What d’you think? I mean, I lost my job because I thought I was doing the right thing for a client, and then I found out that it didn’t matter anyway, because I don’t have tits and a pussy.
Rob dropped his head into his hands. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly, ran his fingers through his thinning hair. The dark man shifted in his seat, studying him intently.
So Rob, what do you want?
ÂÂ
I don’t know. Rob whined miserably.
ÂÂ
The dark man waved his empty mug at the waitress standing across the room at the bar. The waitress nodded and grabbed an empty, frosty pitcher and stuck it under a tap.
ÂÂ
Her, perhaps? Our waitress? She’s quite attractive. What if you could grab her here, right now, and bend her over this table? Would you take her?
What are you, sick or something? Jesus. Is everything about pussy?
This is purely a hypothetical question, Rob.
You mean would I fuck her, or are you asking me if I’d rape her?
Let’s say rape. What if you could get away with it, without any sort of punishment? Would you attempt it? Would you enjoy it?
I don’t know. Sorry, but I don’t go around thinking, ‘Hey, she’s hot. Maybe I’ll put on a mask and break into her apartment later’.
But you admit that she’s quite attractive.
Rob considered the girl. She caught them staring and grinned.
Yeah, sure, but…
And if there is no punishment, no guilt, the act is one and the same, is it not?
The hell it is! Not if she doesn’t want it. Not if she gets hurt.
For some people, that’s simply a turn on. Do you realize how many women fantasize about being attacked? Even when, outwardly, a woman would say all the right things about the subject, all the appropriate things; but when they’re alone, needing release, their mind turns to the stock boy they glimpsed at the grocery store, or the delivery man, or the gardener. The repressed desires come to the fore…
ÂÂ
The muscles in Rob’s jaw clenched and popped as the pretty redhead brought them another pitcher of beer.
ÂÂ
Here you go boys. She took the time to fill both of their mugs; then sat the pitcher down on the table between them. Drink up.
Rob fumbled for his wallet. He couldn’t seem to get his fingers to work right. The dark man reached across the table.
ÂÂ
Here. Let me.
He took Rob’s wallet, picked out a few bills and handed them to the waitress with a flourish.
ÂÂ
Thank you, my dear. The dark man smiled up at her, catching her eye with his and touching her gently on the arm before she turned to go. Thank you so much.
Oh, for you two, anytime.
The dark man chuckled as she floated away, blushing, glancing back at him over her shoulder with dreamy eyes. He set Rob’s wallet down on the table, by his mug. Rob was staring at the girl’s ass, swaying a little in his chair.
ÂÂ
You see? Such a simple thing, to get their attention. Just a word, or a caress, and they’re smitten, like a school girl with her first crush. He glanced over at Rob out of the corner of his eye. You are attracted to her, aren’t you?
A statement, not a question.
ÂÂ
Admit it Rob. It’s not a sin to desire someone.
Rob stared at the table, embarrassed.
ÂÂ
Yeah. Sure. Of course. She’s beautiful.
ÂÂ
I absolutely love redheads, myself – true redheads, that is. They’re born with a fiery nature. The dark man took a sip of beer and sighed gratefully. Think about it Rob. Would you like to hike that little skirt up over that nice, round ass and rip off her panties? Can you imagine what her panties look like, Rob? What they feel like? What about her pussy?
The girl caught Rob staring again and smiled at him. Rob felt something inside him stir, something deep and primal. His eyes flickered and his breath caught in his chest as the dark man continued…
Would it be shaven as smooth as a child’s, warm and wet to the touch? Or do you think she has a nice, full bush of that fine, curly red hair? Would you like to rip open her blouse while you had her, or would you leave it on? Would you be gentle while you ride her, or would you take her pussy and fuck her like a man?
Shut up.
I’ll ask the question again: Rob, would you fuck her?
Rob glanced at the waitress again, feeling his cock throbbing in his pants. His voice was husky, lowered almost to a whisper when he answered, as if she could hear him from across the noisy room.
Hell yeah. Wouldn’t you?
The man sat back with a smug look and drank deeply from his full mug.
ÂÂ
So. He smacked his lips. The truth wins out. You would fuck her.
Yeah. Yeah, you bet.
Now, would you rape her? Remember, there is no guilt, no punishment. Only the sweet release of those primal desires; the total pleasure one achieves by taking absolute control over another human being. No one is judging you here, my friend.
Rob blinked quickly, and took a drink to hide his embarrassment. He scratched the back of his neck and stared at the waitress as she bent over to clean an empty booth. Her skirt pulled up and he could just see the bottom of her ass cheeks, just make out her lacy white panties. Her breasts jiggled and bounced in her work shirt as she wiped down the table top.
Just like that?
The dark man nodded. Rob licked his lips. His throat was dry and scratchy, and something he’d never felt before was burning, deep in his gut.
ÂÂ
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I would.
Excellent, Rob!
ÂÂ
The dark man grinned and rolled his head around, loudly popping the bones in his neck.
Ahh, that feels good. So. What is it that you want, Rob?
What do I want right now?
Mm-hmm.
Rob was quiet a moment. He took a long drink, savored it, thinking. Then he looked up again, and for the first time that night, he was able to meet those burning coals staring out at him from that grinning face.
What I keep thinking? You really want to know what’s been running through my head all day long?
Yes.
This is so fucked up.
Tell me, Rob. I can’t help you if you won’t be honest and tell me what you truly want.
I really wanted to screw Yvonne. My friend Jack – he worked with me at the firm – he and I used to bullshit about it all the time. I guess I still do.
A hate fuck. Revenge.
Yeah, I guess that fits. But right now, I almost wish they were dead.
‘Almost’, Rob?
ÂÂ
***
Thursday, 11:32 am
ÂÂ
“Omigod.â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob wasn’t sure how long he sat like that, with his back plastered against the wall, sweating, staring and gasping for breath.
ÂÂ
“Oh God, oh God, oh God…â€Â
ÂÂ
He stared in horror at the girl in the box. Little bits and pieces of the night before were slowly coming back. He remembered the man with the burning eyes that seemed to pierce right into the back of his head, and their conversation about the waitress…
ÂÂ
“Nononono…oh God, don’t be dead. Please don’t be dead…â€Â
ÂÂ
It was that fucked up guy at the bar. It had to be. He fucking kidnapped her and killed her, and... And packed her up and sent her here like some kind of sick birthday present…
ÂÂ
Rob gathered his legs underneath him and crawled forward slowly. He reached out a shaking hand and gently touched her face, expecting…what, exactly? He’d never touched a dead body before, never even seen one; he only knew what he’d seen on TV, and in movies. If she was dead, she’d be cold, right? Like something in a freezer?
ÂÂ
No, not like that. Cold, like a thawed steak, maybe? But, not…warm?
ÂÂ
Rob jerked back his hand and held it like he’d been scalded. His breath hissed through his teeth.
ÂÂ
Omigod.
He looked closer; saw the slow but steady rise and fall of her chest.
She’s alive! But what’s wrong with her? Why didn’t she suffocate?
Rob licked his lips, shook her a little. Her eyelids fluttered, but barely; hardly enough for Rob to even notice.
ÂÂ
Drugs. He must’ve drugged her, with something that slowed her breathing down enough that she wouldn’t use up all the oxygen in the coffin.
ÂÂ
The girl was still wearing the same clothes she had on the night before, at the bar.
ÂÂ
What do I do? What…The police, I’ll call the police! And, and…and what? Tell them I’ve got a coffin in my living room, with a drugged girl that some freak with…with glowing red eyes kidnapped and sent to me because…because…
Why?
ÂÂ
Rob groaned and dug at his swollen eyes with the heels of his palms.
ÂÂ
Because I told him that I wanted to fuck her. That’s why.
Rob sat back on his haunches, shaking his head.
ÂÂ
I wonder if anybody’s missed her yet. Or if her kidnapping’s been on the news? Maybe…maybe I could call Jack? Fuck. No way. He wouldn’t believe me unless he saw her, and then he’d just tell me to call the cops.
Unconsciously, Rob peered back into the coffin, taking in the girls rosy cheeks; the wisps of soft, red curls billowing around her face; the light spray of freckles across the bridge of her button nose.
ÂÂ
Or he wouldn’t believe a word I said, and he’d call the copson me.
ÂÂ
A nasty, sick thought came to him.
ÂÂ
Or, maybe…he’d tell me to fuck her.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
A small piece of paper was pinned to the girls’ blouse, just above her left breast. A message, written in the same loose, spidery script on the same, fragile parchment as the other note with the disappearing ink. It read, Hi, Rob, I’m Sarah. Pleased to meet you. I brought a few things for a sleepover.
“Jesus. What a sick motherfucker. Did he follow her home?â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob unpinned the note and crumpled it up in his hand, tossed the ball into his empty fireplace. The girl fit perfectly in the coffin, with room to spare. Inside, Rob found a large knapsack stuffed under her feet. He gently raised her legs and pulled it out, then unlaced the flap and opened it up.
ÂÂ
Maybe she has a purse in here, Rob thought, or a drivers license, or something with a phone number…
ÂÂ
Rob reached inside and pulled out a fistful of lingerie: bras and panties and stockings… He swallowed and reached in again, found more clothes, rolled up skirts and nice, silk blouses, shoes, jewelry…
ÂÂ
“Oh, God.â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob sat back, the contents of the bag spilled around him. Enough clothes and makeup to play dress-up for a week or more, but no identification. He stood up slowly, his knees cracking, and peered down into the coffin at the girl.
ÂÂ
“I’m sorry, uh, Sarah. I didn’t mean for this to happen. I just wanted to get drunk last night, and talk to somebody…â€Â
ÂÂ
Here in the daylight, Rob was struck by how beautiful she really was. And she looked so…peaceful, like she was sleeping. He, on the other hand, was hung-over as hell with a monster of a headache brewing, and his mind was reeling. Rob thought about the police again, what he could tell them that wouldn’t land him in prison.
ÂÂ
“Maybe…maybe I can wake you up. Sure! Then you can tell me what happened.†He snapped his fingers. “Simple! We can call the police together, and we’ll tell ‘em about the sick-o freak. There’s no way they’d just believe me, but you saw him too.â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob sighed with relief.
ÂÂ
“Well, I can’t leave you in this thing.†He bent over and slipped his arms under her waist and the crook of her legs, then straightened with a grunt.
ÂÂ
“Oh, shit!’
ÂÂ
Lifting somebody who was out cold wasn’t as easy as it looked in the movies. But then, usually in the movies the guy doing the lifting was some buff, studly hero-type, not the chubby, balding, out-of-shape attorney type.
ÂÂ
Well, Rob thought, make that the ex-attorney type.
ÂÂ
The girl was limp and her arms and legs were flopping all over; he couldn’t get a good grip and she slipped right out of his arms.
Rob pulled her closer, so his chin bumped into her chest. He took a long, deep breath and caught a faint whiff of her perfume, the smell of cigarettes and alcohol and food on her clothes, in her hair. He hoped she couldn’t smell him. He tried and failed to ignore how soft she was, how nice her curves felt against him. Then he counted to three and straightened with a grunt.
ÂÂ
“Ooh, God!â€Â
ÂÂ
 A sharp spear of pain shot up his back.
ÂÂ
“Urg. Wow. That hurts. Uh, sorry…Sarah…it’s not you. I’m just a little out of shape.â€Â
ÂÂ
For a second Rob wished that he’d bothered to visit the company gym once or twice, or even taken Jack up on his endless offers for racquetball lessons. His thoughts drifted back to his father again, forcing him to carry wood on their infrequent camping trips when he was an even shorter, pudgier kid.
ÂÂ
Come on, you little pussy! Be a man! You’re stronger than that!
Rob locked his knees and staggered into his bedroom, the one, partially furnished room in his house, with Sarah’s limp body clutched tightly to his chest, her arms and legs dangling loosely. He lost his footing in a pile of laundry and tumbled with her onto his unmade bed. He scrambled off her like she was on fire and fell into a chair.
ÂÂ
There pussy-boy! I told you you could do it!
“Shut up, dad!†Rob shook his head and flipped on his television. He scanned the channels with his remote, and didn’t find a single news bulletin about the girl. He shut off the TV in disgust. He stood and stepped to the side of his bed.
ÂÂ
Sarah was sprawled out on the mattress with her torso twisted to one side and her arms and legs bent at odd angles; her long, curly hair billowed out underneath her head. The top of her blouse had become unbuttoned, just enough for him to catch a tantalizing glimpse of a black satin bra and the round flesh at the top of her breasts. The hem of her skirt had slipped up around her hips, giving him full view of her panties – the white, lacy panties he’d been fantasizing about just hours ago at the bar.
ÂÂ
Cold sweat beaded along his upper lip, and began trickling down his back.
ÂÂ
Rob couldn’t look. He told himself not to, that he had to be a gentleman. But he couldn’t not look. He reached down to straighten her skirt, and his hand brushed the soft skin of her thigh. He felt a sudden pang of desire, that burning in his gut that seemed to spread through his whole body, and jerked his hand away.
ÂÂ
“Um, Sarah?†He whispered to her, softly, as if she was sleeping. He nudged her shoulder. “Sarah? Are you awake?â€Â
ÂÂ
No answer. No movement. Rob nudged her again, gently rocking her body.
ÂÂ
“Sarah? Is that your name? Sarah?â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob sat down next to her. The mattress creaked under his weight, and she slid into him. He sighed with frustration, and absently touched her hair.
ÂÂ
“Maybe I could call the bar, and ask them who you are, or…†He shook his head. “No. That won’t work. That’ll just get somebody suspicious, and…and maybe they could trace the call with caller id…â€Â
ÂÂ
For a long minute he just sat next to her, watching her.
ÂÂ
“At least you’re breathing okay, I guess.â€Â
ÂÂ
He yawned, feeling the effects of all the stress from the day before; of being fired, all of the booze, the lack of sleep. He stood, grabbed a pillow off the bed and padded over to a chair, settled in.
ÂÂ
“I’ll just wait for you to wake up, then we can work this out.â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob tucked the pillow behind his head and kicked off his shoes, used his toes to peel off his damp, sweaty socks. He watched the girl for a few more minutes, feeling drowsy, until his heavy eyelids fell closed.
ÂÂ
A moment later, they both slept.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
Thursday, 7:46 pm
           Yvonne Craig slipped onto a barstool at MacTarahan’s and ordered a glass of white wine from Sammy. He served her with a flourish – she liked that about Sammy; he always had a smile for her, he always knew what she was drinking, and he never tried to hit on her.
ÂÂ
Of course, it helped that he was as gay as day was long.
ÂÂ
She liked coming into the bar about this time for much the same reasons. It rarely got busy until later in the evening, and most of the customers were regulars who knew to leave her alone.
He picked to clean glasses off a full tray and stuck them under the tap. Yvonne pursed her lips and took a drink, waited until he poured the drinks. The waitress picked up the tray and gave Yvonne a cheery grin. Yvonne managed to give something like a smile back, then turned her attention back to Sammy.
ÂÂ
“So?â€Â
ÂÂ
“A short, pudgy guy was in here looking for you, just a few minutes before you came in. I think it was the same guy who threw a fit in the lobby last night.â€Â
           “Mm. He threw another tizzy. We had to have security give him the heave-ho.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Rob, she thought. Must’ve been. “I didn’t see him when I got here.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Guess he got the hint.†Sammy leaned forward. “So, what happened to your sugar daddy?â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Will you stop? That’s all finished.†Yvonne grinned demurely and crossed her legs. Sammy knew all about her little fling.
ÂÂ
           “I see. Running the office by yourself now?â€Â
ÂÂ
           “First day.†She nodded. “Vanden flew out this morning.â€Â
           “Will you shut up?†Yvonne laughed. It was a good, sexy laugh; nice and throaty. “Of course he did.â€Â
           “Ha. Let’s just say that I got to keep the car, and he had a nice limo ride to the airport.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “He gave you the Beamer?â€Â
           “Why can’t I find a man like that?
ÂÂ
           “Sometimes it helps to have a pair of these.†Yvonne pointed at her tits. “No offence.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “If that’s what it takes, I’ll start saving up.â€Â
           Sammy grinned and glanced over her shoulder. He leaned over the counter and whispered conspiratorially, “Girl, I bet I know something you don’t know.â€Â
           “Give it a second…â€Â
ÂÂ
           Yvonne took another drink and half-turned in her seat. A warm hand caressed the nape of her neck, sending a chill down her spine. Yvonne shivered. Soft lips touched the tip of her ear, and her cheek. The chill turned into a warm blush.
ÂÂ
           Yvonne looked up into Vanden Smith’s glittering eyes.
ÂÂ
She couldn’t get enough of those eyes. They were spellbinding. It was like he could see down into her soul with each glimpse, each sideways glance.
ÂÂ
           “Vanden? I thought you left…I mean…you’re supposed to be in New York tomorrow…?â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Ah, well. I do believe I’d rather be here, than twiddling my thumbs in an empty apartment in that noisy, dirty city.†He paused and grinned. “Or, rather, I’d rather be at your apartment, twiddling something else.â€Â

ÂÂ
           Asleep in his chair, Rob’s body jerked and twisted suddenly.
ÂÂ
           In his dream, Rob was back at the bar, getting drunk off his ass. Sarah was at the side of the table, constantly refilling his drink, pouring more beer into his mug as fast as he could tip it back. He’d quaff a full, foaming mug, dribbling the dark amber fluid down his face and neck, into his lap, soaking himself, and then she’d clean him up, wiping his face and crotch with a filthy, wet towel that she’d stick back into the waistband of her apron.
ÂÂ
The dark man was still there too; sitting just across the table, laughing a deep, maniacal laugh and pinching Sarah’s ass every time she bent over to wipe the beer from Rob’s lap. But his face was lost; shrouded in darkness, blank like voided space. The only features Rob could make out were his blazing, coal red eyes, and a long, sharp pair of ash-white horns that protruded from the top of his skull.
ÂÂ
Don’t you like her ass, Rob? Don’t you want to squeeze it? Go ahead, give it a spank! Watch it jiggle!
ÂÂ
Rob spilled more beer down his front, and Sarah bent to with the towel, leaning over until her breasts popped out of her blouse, jiggling in her black bra. She looked up and smiled, licked her ruby lips with the tip of a dainty pink tongue as she rubbed at the damp cloth. With his cock straining to break free, Rob drained his mug as she began tugging at his zipper.
ÂÂ
Smoke drifted up from the dark man’s eyes. He ripped Sarah’s panties down around her knees and began slapping her ass until it turned a raw, glowing pink.
ÂÂ
Let her clean that mess up for you, Big Fella! Wrap a hand in that beautiful red hair and let her earn her keep! Hell, there’s enough here for everybody to take a turn!
Rob ran his fingers through Sarah’s soft curls, and she went down on him, taking him down to the hilt in a single mouthful. He felt the muscles in her slim neck contract and relax as she bobbed her head, working him.
ÂÂ
He slumped in his chair, enjoying the warmth of her mouth, and looked around the bar, which suddenly seemed an open, endless space. The other customers were barely visible; wavering, wraith-like shapes that stood from their tables, naked and aroused, and shambled towards Sarah, stroking their huge, erect genitals as they surrounded her.
ÂÂ
That’s right, my friend, enjoy her…that’s what she’s here for…
ÂÂ
Rob tried to bring them into focus, but the moist pressure enveloping his cock distracted him. He closed his eyes, and Sarah screamed as the first of the things entered her, shoving its erect, engorged member deep into her asshole.
ÂÂ
The pressure in Rob’s groin began to swell, and he laid both his hands on her head, forced her mouth back down on him. She grabbed at his ass, and he grunted and his hips jerked spastically as her body was shoved forward by the thing fucking her from behind...
ÂÂ
And all the while, the dark man cackled with glee…
ÂÂ

ÂÂ
Thursday, 8:46 pm
ÂÂ
           For the second time that day, Rob woke with a start, drenched in sweat. The electric clock on his dresser told him it was a quarter after nine.
Other than the glow from the clock, it was pitch black in the room. He had a raging headache, a throbbing boner, and he needed to piss like a racehorse. Rob groped along the wall, feeling his way to the bathroom. He unbuckled his belt and let his pants fall to the floor, then braced himself with his hands on the wall, leaning over his toilet, urine just barely trickling out of his swollen penis.
ÂÂ
“C’mon,†He urged. “Go, go, goddamn…fucking sleep-boner…â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob managed not to fall asleep again, standing up like that, or piss on his foot (which he thought was a major accomplishment). Several minutes later, he shook himself dry. He washed his hands and stared at himself in the mirror over the sink.
ÂÂ
God, he looked terrible.
ÂÂ
He scrubbed his face with cold water, filled up a cup and scrounged through his medicine cabinet until he found a couple aspirin. At least, he thought they were aspirin. He wasn’t sure. It didn’t really matter, the way his head felt like it was going to split down the middle.
ÂÂ
“Fuck it. If they kill me, at least the headache’ll go away.â€Â
ÂÂ
He took the chance, gulped the pills down and drained the water, then turned out the light. He padded back into his bedroom in his baggy boxers and t-shirt and crawled onto his bed. When he felt the warm body on the mattress next to him, he almost jumped out of his skin.
ÂÂ
“Holy shit!â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob flipped on the lamp. A soft glow filled the room, illuminating Sarah’s soft, curvy body. He squeezed his eyes shut; counted to ten and blinked them open. This was no dream. No fantasy. The girl was still there, on his bed. She was still out cold, lying in the same, sprawled out position she was in when he passed out that afternoon.
ÂÂ
Why wasn’t she awake yet? What the hell was she on? That date rape drug? What was it…Ecstasy? Hell, he’d imbibed half the beer and whiskey in the state during his little binge, and he’d been awake twice already…
ÂÂ
Hungover, yeah, sure, but awake.
ÂÂ
Rob reached over and shook her by the shoulder, hard.
ÂÂ
“Sarah! Hey! Wake up!â€Â
ÂÂ
He shouted her name again and shook her, over and over.
ÂÂ
Nothing.
ÂÂ
Not even the flicker of an eyelid. Just the slow, peaceful rise and fall of her chest. Her skin glistened with a light sheen of sweat; her flesh was warm and moist under his fingertips. He pulled her shoulder, turned her over onto her back.
ÂÂ
“Come on, please wake up.â€Â
ÂÂ
She was so pretty. Lying there, so close to her, his body began to tingle. The burning sensation started in his crotch and spread outwards. His cock perked back up, sticking straight out of his underpants. Snatches of a conversation floated back into his mind, unbidden.
ÂÂ
You mean, would I fuck her, or are you asking me if I’d rape her?
Let’s say rape. What if you could get away with it, without any sort of punishment? Would you attempt it? Would you enjoy it?
“Oh, God. What am I thinking?â€Â
ÂÂ
Admit it Rob. It’s not a sin to desire someone…
Rob licked his lips and scooted closer, thinking that he just wanted to look at her. The hem of her skirt was still pulled up around her waist, and the tip of his cock brushed her hip, grazing lightly along the soft skin of her thigh. A shiver ran through him.
ÂÂ
That’s right, my friend, enjoy her…that’s what she’s here for…
ÂÂ
His hand was shaking as he reached out to pull down her skirt.
ÂÂ
Don’t you like her ass, Rob? Don’t you want to squeeze it? Go ahead, give it a spank! Watch it jiggle!
ÂÂ
Rob was panting; sweat beading on his forehead and his cock throbbed painfully, his whole body shaking. The ugly voice continued in his thoughts, goading him on.
ÂÂ
She’ll never know…
Rob swallowed hard, the spit sticking in his throat. He touched her belly, watched his hand slide slowly up her stomach to her breasts. He cupped the breast closest to him, squeezed it gently, and watched the girls face for the faintest sign that she might notice, that she might wake up and start screaming, RAPE, RAPE!
ÂÂ
But she was quiet.
ÂÂ
Her back seemed to arch a bit, mashing her tit into his hand. Rob reached across her chest, letting his cock press flat against her thigh, and squeezed her other breast. This time he was positive; a low moan started, from deep in her throat, and her nipple poked through the material of her blouse, rubbed against the sweaty palm of his hand.
ÂÂ
“Oh, God…†he murmured, and ran his fingertips lightly over her nipples, until they were hard as little rocks. He licked his lips and rubbed his crotch against her leg. He was so horny, he felt dizzy. “I’m sorry, Sarah. I’m sorry…â€Â
ÂÂ
He unbuttoned her blouse carefully, peeling the light, damp material back and uncovering her belly. Rob licked his dry lips and drank her in. She was slim, but curvy; with pale skin splashed with a spattering of freckles. Her breasts were larger that he’d expected, pooled into round, melon-shaped mounds on her chest, tucked into her pretty black bra. Her belly button was pierced with a silver clamp and circled with an elaborate tattoo of a butterfly. More tattoos covered her upper arms.
ÂÂ
He pulled the cups of her bra down, exposing her pink, pierced nipples. They reminded him of tiny, ripe strawberries. His erection throbbed again, and he felt the first bit of cum ooze out and smear along her thigh.
ÂÂ
Rob leaned over and kissed the top of her chest, her breasts, tasting her, licking her nipples. The muscles in her stomach twitched when he ran his hand back down her belly, down to her crotch. He felt the soft mound of pubic hair hidden underneath the material of her lacy panties, and he cupped her gently between her legs.
ÂÂ
Her panties were soaking wet, and this time, she moaned. Her neck and back arched and her hips jerked up, pushing her tit right into his mouth. His fingers twisted around the elastic band of her panties, pulling them roughly out of the way, and his fingers almost slipped right into her warm, wet pussy. ÂÂ
ÂÂ
“Oh, God, Oh God…â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob could hardly breathe, and his heart was racing.
ÂÂ
The only thing in his mind now was that he wanted – no, had to be inside her.
ÂÂ
He raised himself up so he was kneeling over her and yanked off his t-shirt. He gently pulled her panties off, slipping them down her smooth, tan legs, and threw them onto the floor. He spread her legs slowly, until they were wide enough that he could shuffle across the covers and ease himself between them.
ÂÂ
“I want you so bad…†he whispered.
ÂÂ
Her pussy was covered with a nice, trim bush of fine, orange-red pubic hair. He ran his hand over her pink lips, felt another, tiny ring piercing the little nub of her clit. He eased himself on top of her and let the tip of his cock find its way.
ÂÂ
Another small, quiet cry came from her lips, and Rob barely registered that her arms and legs wrapped tight around his body. He sighed as he slipped fully inside her, and pillowed his head at the side of her throat.
ÂÂ
He was already moving, almost unconsciously grinding his hips against her, driving himself deeper into her.
ÂÂ
“Oh, my God…â€Â
ÂÂ
Her pussy clamped around his cock, massaging him. He bit her shoulder to stifle a cry of pleasure and hooked his arms under her armpits, trying to will himself even further inside her. Deliriously, he felt her hips moving in a slow circle underneath him; her belly button ring dug into the soft folds of his gut, making him grunt and swear.
ÂÂ
Rob wanted to kiss her. He levered himself up onto his elbows, nipping at her neck, kissing the point of her chin. She hissed and arched her back, driving her head into the pillows. Some dim part of Rob’s mind registered pain as she raked sharp fingernails across his back, digging bloody furrows in his flesh.
ÂÂ
He groaned and pressed his lips on hers. They parted with a sigh, and he felt her little tongue flick into his hot mouth, probing. He sucked at it like a sweet piece of candy, tasted a metallic tang, felt the small nub of another piercing, a barbell thrust through her tongue.
ÂÂ
Deep in his groin, his orgasm began to build, and he started to pump her, fucking her hard and fast. Their kisses became rushed and frenzied, and her legs clamped around his waist, pulling him closer, until his body couldn’t hold out any longer.
ÂÂ
Rob stiffened as he came, and he heard a voice through his delirium, a feminine voice, as if from far away…
ÂÂ
“Fuck yeah, cum in me baby…â€Â
ÂÂ
He jerked once, twice, and shivered with pleasure; then collapsed onto her soft flesh. He lay right on top of her, drowsy and content, letting the girl hold him. She kissed and stroked his hair, whispering sweet, quiet things into his ear. Rob felt his cock grow limp inside her.
ÂÂ
He vaguely wondered when it was she woke up. And why she didn’t run out of the house, screaming for the police?
ÂÂ
But he was so tired, it all barely mattered.
ÂÂ
As his eyes fluttered closed, Rob realized he hadn’t even bothered to take off his underpants. That little faux pas embarrassed him for a second, but then he was fading again.
ÂÂ

Thursday, 9:10 pm
ÂÂ
Half a city away, Yvonne Craig was on her hands and knees in her rumpled bed getting fucked hard from behind, doggy-style. Her clothes were torn away and Vanden Smith’s cock was buried deep in her pussy.
ÂÂ
She had her hand shoved down between her legs, her fingers furiously rubbing her clit.
ÂÂ
“Oh, God, I’m coming…†she moaned, and her body began to quiver.
ÂÂ
His big, hairy balls slapped against her knuckles while he fucked her, and she cried out, spraying his thighs with her cum while he groped her tits. The bed was already soaked underneath her. She gasped as her orgasm ripped through her body, curling her toes. The wet spot got even larger.
ÂÂ
He felt so big tonight. Huge. He completely filled her, almost to the point that it was painful when he’d started. Yvonne didn’t remember him to be quite this…vigorous before, either, but right now she was loving every sweaty minute of it.
But Vanden stopped screwing her. He pulled out of her and crawled off the bed, then rooted around on the floor for a second. When he found what he was looking for he stood back up, then flipped her over onto her back.
ÂÂ
He had her stockings in one hand, and he was grinning happily.
ÂÂ
“Okay,†She nodded.
ÂÂ
He used her knees to lever her legs open and crawled back onto the bed, then squirmed closer to her pussy. Yvonne scooted backwards so her head was propped up on the pillows. She gripped his pulsing cock in her sweaty hand and guided him back inside her.
ÂÂ
He shoved in with a grunt of satisfaction. She grabbed him by the ass and gave him a good, hard squeeze, digging her fingernails into his butt-cheeks.
ÂÂ
She looked up into his eyes. He was grinning at her, sweat dripping down his face…
ÂÂ
He is bigger, she thought as he leaned over her, the stockings clutched in his fist. How could that happen? One of those pump things, maybe?
She let him pin her arms over her head, and he roughly tied her wrists to the headboard. Vanden kissed her hard on the lips. Yvonne felt him give her tits another tweak, and then his hands were moving up her body, closing around her neck.
ÂÂ
She moaned, arching her back with excitement.
ÂÂ
Then he started to squeeze.
ÂÂ
At first, it didn’t hurt. Yvonne just felt a thrill, felt that much more aroused, and she tried to smile up at him, to let him know she was okay, that she was enjoying it. She knew he liked it like this, the feeling of power it gave him.
ÂÂ
He looks so, so sexy…
ÂÂ
But then he put his arms and shoulders into it, and the thrill disappeared.
ÂÂ
The muscles in his arms bulged, and something in her neck popped loudly. Yvonne kicked and bucked. She thrashed under him, using all of her strength, but he wouldn’t let go. She was tied too tight, and he had all the leverage.
ÂÂ
He squeezed and squeezed, grinning down at her, his sweat dripping onto her face, pooling on her chest. She couldn’t get air, and his cock was hurting her now. It felt like it was swelling, getting even bigger inside her, like it was going to split her apart
ÂÂ
Yvonne tried to scream, but could only manage a feeble squeak.
ÂÂ
As her world went black, his fingers pressed even tighter, and the sweet, soulful brown eyes she’d loved so much changed and began to glow with a strange light of their own.
ÂÂ

ÂÂ
Friday, 11:10 am
ÂÂ
Rob woke up to fresh air blowing through an open window and the chirping of birds. He snuggled deeper into his tangled sheets, but then there was something else, a sound that took him a minute to recognize.
ÂÂ
           Someone was humming, singing quietly in a soft, pretty voice.
ÂÂ
           Rob tried to roll over as quietly as he could, but she saw him. He stared, open-mouthed, as Sarah stepped out of the shower and used one of his towels to dry off. Puffs of steam rolled out of the open bathroom door.
           She grinned and turned back to the mirror, rubbed at the condensation with the palm of her hand.
ÂÂ
           “You sleep like a rock.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Um.†Rob croaked again. He stared in disbelief.
ÂÂ
Her back was covered with tattoos, from her shoulders down to her ass. She wrapped her wet hair up in the towel, smiled at him through the mirror and squirted some of his toothpaste onto his toothbrush, started scrubbing. She spit and rinsed, then patted her lips with a towel hanging on the wall rack next to the mirror.
ÂÂ
           “So, are you gonna get up today?â€Â
ÂÂ
           She turned on her heel and marched back into the bedroom, plopped down on the bed next to him and began rummaging through a pile of clothes.
           “Cool. Hey – why don’t you have any furniture? I don’t mean to be snoopy, but I got hungry and had a bowl of cereal. There wasn’t anywhere to sit. Except on the box thing in your living room.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “I just bought the house. I work…er, worked a lot, so I usually ate at the office. The house was an investment. Furniture just didn’t seem like a big deal.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Oh. Like, a place to crash when you’re not at work, right?†Rob nodded. “Don’t you have a girlfriend?â€Â
ÂÂ
           Rob laughed. It came out sounding more like a burp.
ÂÂ
           “That’s what I thought. No way you could live like this if you weren’t single. You should at least get a bigger bed.â€Â
          ÂÂ
           She found a clean pair of panties, a tiny blue pair about the size of Rob’s pinkie, and slipped them on, raising her legs and then lying back on the bed to pull them over her butt.
ÂÂ
           “You kinda messed up the stuff in my pack. Didn’t your mom ever teach you it’s not nice to go through other people’s things?â€Â
           She rolled over and scooted next to him, straddled his hips.
ÂÂ
           “S’okay. Wow, hey, look at you, big boy…ready to take on the day, huh?†She poked his cock with her finger, then wiggled on top of him. “Like these panties? They’re crotchless. I bought them just for you.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “R-really?†Suddenly Rob wasn’t paying attention to her underpants, exactly.
ÂÂ
           “Yeah, like a present – oh, whoops, not in there!†She wiggled a little more. “I get a special pair for every guy I know. So it’s special.â€Â
Rob thought his dick was going to explode. Sarah braced her hands on his chest and raised her ass, just enough to catch the head of his dick in her pussy, then settled back down, swiveling her hips until he was buried in her. She unwrapped the towel and tossed it on the floor, then snuggled next to him, her wet hair sticking to her face.
ÂÂ
“Who…who are you?†Rob managed.
ÂÂ
She smiled. “Don’t you remember? I was your waitress? At the bar? A couple nights ago? You were there with your friend, that really sexy guy with the intense eyes? Nice to see I made an impression. I’m Sarah. Didn’t you get the note?â€Â
ÂÂ
“I remember you. But…I was a little drunk, I think.†Rob remembered the paper, pinned to her blouse. “I got the note, or a note. It was pinned to your shirt.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Mm-hmm.†She nuzzled his cheek with her nose, started rocking her hips back and forth. “I thought it would explain stuff.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Yeah, I, guess. B-but, who…I mean, why…are you here…?â€Â
ÂÂ
She gave him an odd look.
ÂÂ
“Hey, are you okay with this? I mean, if you’re worried I might get pregnant, don’t be. The pill is my friend, you know?â€Â
ÂÂ
“No, it’s not that. It’s just…â€Â
ÂÂ
“Like, what? I don’t use anymore, and I only let Tony do my Tat’s, so I know his needles are clean, and I get tested once every…â€Â
ÂÂ
“No, no, no…It’s…â€Â
ÂÂ
“What, d’you have something? Oh, shit! He said you were a virg…â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob scowled. “No, no. I don’t have any diseases…â€Â
ÂÂ
“Wait a minute. I get it. You’re afraid I’ve got a jealous boyfriend, huh?â€Â
ÂÂ
Oh, shit, Rob thought. This  is so fucked up.
ÂÂ
“Well…I…â€Â
ÂÂ
“Look, I know Russ was a freak, but he never really hurt anybody. Kenny’s a little fucked up, but he doesn’t get out for another six months. So that’s cool.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Six…months?†Rob’s penis wasn’t quite so happy anymore. He felt it waver inside her, getting ready to run for cover.
ÂÂ
 “Mm-hm. And don’t worry about Tony. I can handle him. He’s just a pussycat, you know? He just wants me to be happy, and all that.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh, well. That’s not it either, see…â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob tried to pull himself together. Not easy. He scooted backwards until he was propped up on the pillows. She followed him every inch of the way.
ÂÂ
“I…I thought you were dead. I mean, you were in the coffin thing, and…and then you wouldn’t wake up, and…now…this.†He waved his hands, at her and the bed, as if that would explain everything. “I don’t understand what’s going on.â€Â
ÂÂ
“You mean, you don’t know? He said you’d like it.â€Â
ÂÂ
“He said what?â€Â
ÂÂ
“That night at the bar? You guys left, and then your friend came back about an hour later. He told me what happened to you, you poor guy.â€Â
ÂÂ
She gave him a tender kiss on the tip of his nose and wiggled her butt. Rob was having trouble concentrating.
ÂÂ
“Anyway, he told me all about you, how you wanted to talk to me and all that, that you guys thought up this whole, y’know, scenario. But you were too shy, so he asked me if I wanted to meet you. He was very sweet.†She patted his chest. “And I thought you were cute.â€Â
ÂÂ
“So…so you let yourself get locked in…in a box? By some guy you don’t know, because you thought I was…cute?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Yeah. Well. You know. Sure. You guys are really fucking kinky.â€Â
ÂÂ
For some people, that’s simply a turn on. Do you realize how many women fantasize about being attacked?
ÂÂ
“Kinky.†Rob repeated. “You liked that?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh, yeah. The whole idea really turned me on. Like last night, when you thought I was still fucked up? I thought I was going to die waiting for you to make a move. But, wow. I haven’t cum like that in a long time.†She sighed wistfully. “Why are you looking at me like that?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Because, because you could’ve gotten killed! Or...â€Â
ÂÂ
“Psh. I know girls who do stuff lots weirder than this for a date.â€Â
ÂÂ
“You can’t be serious.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh, yeah. Hey, you ever go to S&M shows? Wild.â€Â
ÂÂ
Unbelievable. This doesn’t even faze her.
 “Do you even know what he gave you? I couldn’t wake you up. I didn’t know if I should call the police, or…â€Â
ÂÂ
“Yeah, well, no. It’s funny, but I can’t remember too much. After your friend and I talked, I mean. I don’t know what he gave me. I mean, I don’t remember him actually giving me anything. Maybe he slipped something into my drink. I guess whatever it was sure knocked me out. I don’t remember anything after that until I woke up here in your bed.†She smiled and touched a finger to his lips. “Look, I’ve need to leave for class pretty soon, and I have to work late tonight, so lets have a little fun before I go, ‘kay?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Really? I mean, you want to stay?
ÂÂ
“Well, yeah.†She grabbed his hands and placed them on her breasts. She made him rub her nipples until they were hard little knots. “I can come back before work too, if you want to get some dinner tonight.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Dinner…sounds good…â€Â
ÂÂ
She smiled again, and smothered Rob with little kisses. He liked the way her body felt, how her nipple rings tickled his chest when she leaned over. He still didn’t get it, but all his questions about the night before suddenly didn’t seem to matter too much.
ÂÂ
“I packed enough stuff for a week, if you want me to stay. Your friend thought you might want some company for a while.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh. Okay.†Rob wasn’t sure what he was supposed to say next. “So, what class…â€Â
ÂÂ
“I’m a psychology major. I want to get into people’s heads.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Now, quiet, okay?†She kissed him, and Rob closed his eyes again.
ÂÂ
           “Whew.†She tickled him. “You should brush your teeth.â€Â
           And then somebody started pounding on the front door.
ÂÂ

ÂÂ
Friday, 11:32 am
ÂÂ
           “Well, holy shit,†exclaimed the delivery guy, peeking through the half-open door. His eyes went wide when he saw Sarah. Rob had tried to get her to put something on, but she just jumped up on his back and made him carry her into the living room.
ÂÂ
“Look at you! That yer girlfriend?â€Â
ÂÂ
           Rob grimaced and stood there dumbly, hunched over with Sarah still clinging, naked, to his back. He was holding together a bathrobe with one hand and trying to keep her from yanking it open with the other. Rob raised his eyebrows. “Did you forget something?â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Huh? Oh, no. Nope. I got another delivery for ya. Same thing as last time.â€Â
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
           Sarah and the delivery guy both wanted to stay and watch Rob open the new crate. Rob forced the guy outside and slammed the door, then turned back to Sarah. His blood was racing.
ÂÂ
He had an idea who might be in the new crate.
ÂÂ
“Oh, come on. Let me see!†Sarah was walking around the crate, knocking on the rough pine slats. “Please?â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob shook his head.
ÂÂ
“I don’t think so.â€Â
ÂÂ
“It’s another girl, huh?â€Â
ÂÂ
“I don’t know.â€Â
ÂÂ
“We gonna have a three-some tonight?â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob sighed.
ÂÂ
“I don’t know.â€Â
ÂÂ
She stamped her little foot in frustration. “C’mon. Please?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Look, you…go on to class, okay? I think I should be alone to open this up.â€Â
ÂÂ
“You could take me to school.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Sure! I… No I can’t. My car isn’t here. I could call you a cab though…â€Â
ÂÂ
“Forget it. Is there a bus stop around?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Yeah, just down the street. That way.â€Â
ÂÂ
“I could just stay and help you with…â€Â
ÂÂ
“No way.†Suddenly Rob felt like he was talking to a naked, tattooed child. “Go to school.â€Â
ÂÂ
Sarah pouted, but stomped back into the bedroom.
ÂÂ
Rob followed her and watched her get dressed. She pulled on a pair of worn, faded jeans, and then wiggled, bra-less, into a t-shirt that was cut off at the waist, high enough to show off her belly button. She stepped into a pair of tall, black pumps and tossed an old, straw cowboy hat on her head.
ÂÂ
Sarah turned in a semi-circle, posing for him. Rob thought that she almost looked even sexier dressed. Her clothes clung to every curve, accentuated the slope of her hips, the swell of her breasts. He could just make out her nipple-rings under the thin t-shirt.
ÂÂ
“Well? How do I look?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Um.†Rob swallowed. “Fantastic. Just like a psychiatrist…er, psychologist. Whatever. I’d pay to lie on your couch so you could…uh, get in my head.â€Â
ÂÂ
“You’re sweet.â€Â
ÂÂ
She kissed his cheek, and he followed her back into the living room.
ÂÂ
“This is for you, because you’re so cute…â€Â
ÂÂ
She opened the door and kissed him again passionately, pressing her body tightly against him. Rob noticed the delivery driver sitting in the cab of his truck, staring with his mouth open.
ÂÂ
Sarah broke her clinch and punched him hard on the shoulder.
ÂÂ
“…And that’s for being an asshole. You’d better show me what’s in there when I get back.â€Â
ÂÂ
With that, she bounced off the steps. Rob grinned, watching her hips sway as she strutted down the street. When she disappeared around a corner, the delivery guy gave him a big, double thumbs up.
ÂÂ
Rob shut the door and went looking for his hammer.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
Friday, noon
ÂÂ
           A little elbow grease, and then more pine boards littered Rob’s living room.
ÂÂ
           Rob’s stomach was doing flip-flops again. He was sweating, and he held another envelope in his hand. It had been resting on top of the new coffin, which was lying smack-dab in the middle of his living room, right next to the first one.
ÂÂ
           A deep voice was burning in his ears, one he thought he’d never hear again, whispering…
ÂÂ
           What is it you want, Rob?
ÂÂ
           He ripped the envelope open, and sliced another gash along the side his thumb. In a daze, he pulled out the familiar parchment. The blood smeared the paper, and the words slowly began to appear…
ÂÂ
           Rob read the note and dropped the paper. There was a small burst of flame. He tossed it into the fireplace and watched it burn out. Rob took a step forward. The room spun around him as he stumbled to the coffin.
ÂÂ
He found the lock easily. He pressed his bloody thumb into the warm, smooth indentation…
ÂÂ
           The latch clicked open, and Rob closed his eyes.
ÂÂ
           He raised the lid, his own words ringing in his ears.
ÂÂ
           I wish they were dead…
ÂÂ
Rob opened his eyes, and stared down at the pale body nestled into the soft satin lining. He looked at the dark hair, her brown eyes, wide open with surprise, staring at some point off into the distance. He saw the torn silk stockings, still wrapped tightly around her wrists, the other marks on her naked body...
ÂÂ
Rob touched the cold, bruised flesh around her slim neck, and he began to weep.
ÂÂ
He knew this one wouldn’t wake up.
ÂÂ
And then someone was pounding loudly on his front door.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
           “Robert Wiltsey?†The voice shouted from behind Rob’s front door. “This is the police. Detective’s Paul and Ronsky. We’d like to ask you a few questions.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Oh.
No.
The pounding continued.
ÂÂ
“Mr. Wiltsey? We know you’re in there. We spoke with the somebody who just made a delivery to you. Open up, so we can talk.â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob stood up, swaying on unsteady legs.
ÂÂ
“What? Why?†he gasped.
ÂÂ
There was a pause. Rob could hear voices, whispering.
ÂÂ
“We know you were at the airport this morning. You dropped your ID in the bathroom.â€Â
ÂÂ
Rob stared at the coffin again. What were they talking about, the airport? He’d never left the house!
ÂÂ
           “We have everything on tape, Mr. Wiltsey. Eye witnesses placing you at the scene. Why don’t you make this easy on yourself and just open the door.â€Â
Rob glanced at the door, then at the body in the coffin. Tears streamed down his face.
ÂÂ
“No! I…I can’t! I can’t…â€Â
ÂÂ
Outside, detectives Paul and Ronsky nodded to each other and pulled their weapons, took position. Behind them, neighbors were gathering around the truck still parked in the street, curious and gossiping.
ÂÂ
Paul nodded again, and Ronsky kicked in the door.
ÂÂ
           Rob fell over the coffin as the detectives swarmed into his house.
ÂÂ
           Two pistols were leveled at him. He heard another crash as his back door was smashed in, heavy footfalls running through the house. Men shouting.
ÂÂ
           “Robert Wiltsey? You’re under arrest for the murder of Vanden Smith! You have the right to…Holy shit!â€Â
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
           Jack pulled up in Rob’s Lexus as the detectives were dragging Rob out of the house, his arms handcuffed behind his back.
ÂÂ
Rob saw him and started screaming.
ÂÂ
“Jack! Jack! Tell them I didn’t do it! Tell them! You know me! He knows me! Just talk to him…â€Â
ÂÂ
Detective Ronsky shoved Rob brutally into an unmarked police car. Detective Paul casually sauntered over to where Jack was standing, thunderstruck.
ÂÂ
           “You know this guy?†Detective Paul jerked his thumb over his shoulder, pointing at the police car.
ÂÂ
           “Yeah. I work with him. Or…I did, I mean.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “You work for Vanden Smith?â€Â
           “He’s gonna need a good one.†Paul fished a notebook and a pen out of a pocket. “What’s your name.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Jack…Jack Swanson.†Jack shook his head. “What’s going on?â€Â
ÂÂ
           The detective studied Jack for a moment, wondering how much to tell him to get him talking. Then he puckered his lips and sighed. If this guy had watched television at all that morning, he’d already know about the murder, and the two missing women.
ÂÂ
           “We understand Mr. Wiltsey was let go a few days ago.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Yeah, yeah. There was a meeting…and Rob thought he was going to get a promotion, but Vanden gave it to someone else, and…â€Â
ÂÂ
           “He promoted Yvonne Craig instead of this guy?â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Yeah,†Jack nodded. “and then they fired him.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “He was seen at a company party a few days ago. The restaurant manager filed a complaint, said that he was causing a disturbance.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Jack looked at his feet. “Yeah, he showed up at a party a little drunk. I guess he said some things he shouldn’t have…â€Â
           “He said he was gonna kill them.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Paul stared at him. Jack flashed a grin.
ÂÂ
           “No. You don’t thing Rob really…â€Â
ÂÂ
           Detective Paul glanced over at the police car, the man screaming in the backseat.
ÂÂ
           “Maybe you should come down to the station and give a statement.â€Â
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
           Jack leaned on the side of the Lexus and watched along with the rest of the neighbors as the police car pulled a u-turn and accelerated down the road. He watched Rob’s terrified face until the car turned a corner and was gone.
ÂÂ
           That’s when he saw the girl, slowly walking up the sidewalk. She held a beat up old cowboy hat clamped down on her head with one hand, and her eyes were wide open with shock. She stopped on the sidewalk right in front of Jack.
ÂÂ
Officers had cordoned off the street in front of Rob’s house. No one except the police could get close. The girl looked at all the cops bustling around, shook her head.
ÂÂ
“Hey.†Jack piped up. “Anything wrong?â€Â
ÂÂ
She noticed him for the first time. “What happened? Why are all the cops here?â€Â
ÂÂ
Jack shrugged. “They think Rob killed somebody.â€Â
ÂÂ
“What? No…no way.â€Â
ÂÂ
 “That’s what the news is saying too.†He shrugged again. “ Killed his old boss and some chick too. Fit of anger kinda thing.â€Â
ÂÂ
Jack pushed off the car and stood next to the girl. She was still staring up at the house.
ÂÂ
“Wow.†She whispered.
ÂÂ
“Yeah,†he agreed. “Crazy, huh?â€Â
ÂÂ
“I’ve gotta get in there.â€Â
ÂÂ
“What? Why?â€Â
ÂÂ
“I…knew him. I’ve got stuff in there.â€Â
ÂÂ
“No way they’re gonna let you inside. I think they’d probably haul anybody that tries away. You know, for questioning.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Shit. Really?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Probably.†He glanced down at her, smiled. “Hey, I’m Jack.â€Â
ÂÂ
She looked up at him. Finally. Into his eyes.
ÂÂ
“Jack…I’m Sarah.â€Â
ÂÂ
“You really knew him, huh? You his girlfriend?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh, no. I mean, we just met a few days ago…â€Â
ÂÂ
“Huh.â€Â
ÂÂ
Sarah stared, transfixed. The guy had the weirdest eyes. It was like they burned right into her soul. She couldn’t seem to look away…
ÂÂ
“Hey, how about a drink?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Really?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Sure.†He smiled. “We can talk all about it.â€Â
ÂÂ
Jack opened the car door and helped Sarah inside. He shut the door and stepped around to the driver’s side. He took a last look at Rob’s house, and grinned, the flesh of his face melting away, his fiery red eyes burning.
ÂÂ
“Bye, Rob-meister. Wish you the best. Buddy.â€Â
ÂÂ
The dark man opened the door and eased into the soft leather seat. A moment later, they were both gone.
I parked in the gravel lot and went in the back entrance of my local adult video store, crunching through the slate and kicking up little swirls of dust with each step. Neon lights in the windows advertised quarter show booths, booths that in reality didn’t accept coins – only increments of dollar bills, from singles all the way up to twenties. An a-frame style signboard missing several of its mismatched bright orange and yellow letters hawked five DVD rentals for $5.

n">ÂÂ
My kind of deal; just what I was looking for: cheap-ass entertainment.
          ÂÂ
           The smell hit me as soon as I walked through the doors. Every stroke shop I’ve ever been in has the same nasty funk hanging in the air, soaked into the woodwork - a gagging combination of dry, stale cum uneasily mingling with huge quantities of bleach and topped off with clouds of cigarette smoke; all of that fighting to be noticed under a hefty veil of depressing creepiness. At least the air conditioning was turned on,
ÂÂ
I steeled myself, ignored the odor and moved past the blow-up doll displays, the racks of sex toys, the greasy, fingerprint-smeared glass counters full of colorful liquids and gels and condom packets. Nodded to the bored pierced, tattooed twenty-something’s lounging behind the counter, whose torn thrift-shop attire and purple and blue-dyed hair guaranteed them a life of great minimum-wage gigs just like this one. One of the two, an emaciated girl who was pulling off a great impression of a serious heroin addict, ignored me completely. Her companion glared at me sullenly, like I was going to try to shoplift a dildo or maybe, more likely, because I looked too much like his dad. I grinned and found the DVD’s for rent, racks of porn shelved along the walls and lined up on homemade shelving units in haphazard rows just past a pair of sensor alarm gates, a ton of smut tucked comfortably away in a room the size of a small warehouse.
          ÂÂ
           I took my time picking out my movies, going for the absolutely nastiest hardcore I could find, not wanting to really touch anything. Thank God for all that bleach. Even so, the CD jackets felt and looked greasy; and then I remembered the junkie-punks lounging at the counter, and guessed I knew how motivated they probably were to keep everything clean and germ free. I made sure to hold the movies like I would a dead skunk, using the tips of my fingers. I found an anal gang-bang orgy (‘Two hours of hardcore DP penetration!), a best-of chicks-with-dicks, a couple of rough sex sets and one or two seriously disturbing anime titles, tossed my choices on the counter. Heroin Girl had disappeared. Her buddy was eating a cold cheeseburger that might have been a day old, licking ketchup off his fingers and watching a video monitor, a movie with several couples humping in fast-forward. They looked a bit like bunnies fucking. Junkie-Boy roused himself enough to pause whatever he was screening, set me up with a rental account, drop my DVD’s into a black plastic bag and take my money. Then he went back to his choice of dinner theater. Heroin Girl was outside smoking a cigarette as I left. I smiled at her.
          ÂÂ
           “You have a nice day,†I said.
          ÂÂ
           She gave me a dose of full-on, disdainful punk-rock attitude, and wrinkled up her nose at me. I wondered if maybe I smelled like I’d been squirted by that imaginary dead skunk.  “Fuck-off, scumbag.â€Â
          ÂÂ
           She took a last drag and flicked her smoldering butt into the gravel alongside a few dozen other dead cigarettes; ground it out under the heel of her heavy Doc Martin boot. She rolled her eyes theatrically, and I watched her grumble while she clunked all the way back to the counter to not do her crappy job some more. Tough life, I thought. Then I shrugged, got in my car and drove home through the heat to my air-conditioned house and my DVD player.
          ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
Twenty minutes later, I was naked and spread-eagled on the couch with my mouth open and my chin drooping onto my chest, bored to tears. I understood why Junkie-Boy in the porn shop was fast-forwarding through his movie. I had one of my hard-chosen video picks on, my limp dick in one hand and the remote in the other, watching some young dyed-blonde bitch with huge fake tits unenthusiastically blow-jobbing her way through twenty or thirty guys (who all seemed to be having the same case of erectile dysfunction that I was currently having) when the phone rang. I did the same thing the kid at the store did when I interrupted him: I hit pause on the remote. Then I answered the phone.
           “Um, Grove? Is that you?†A soft female voice; musical and smooth like honey. It sounded vaguely familiar.
ÂÂ
           “Uh-huh…†I mumbled, still trying to place the voice.
ÂÂ
“This is Elizabeth. You remember?â€Â
ÂÂ
           Oh God, I thought. Elizabeth. An old friend of my last girlfriend, April, from time gone by; I’d met her once or twice, but April hadn’t seen much of Elizabeth since she married some uber-buff, male-model looking, upwardly-mobile freak of nature and stopped hanging out with anybody who either wasn’t in the beautiful people crowd or who didn’t earn half-a-million bucks a year. I half-remembered a crazily exotic, gorgeous woman, and guilty visions of wide, almond shaped eyes, thick brown hair, rich caramel skin and lush curves washed through my head. I fully remembered feelings of total and complete inadequacy the few times I’d been around her. Thanks to the images assaulting my senses, the skanky blonde frozen on my television screen suddenly morphed into a composite version of the Elizabeth I was seeing in my head.
ÂÂ
           My throat went dry, and my dick actually, finally, twitched. “Yeah…yeah, of course I remember…â€Â
ÂÂ
           I swear I could almost hear her grinning through the phone. “Cool. I’d hate to think you’d forget me.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “No chance,†I said, the words sounding like crunchy shards of glass.
ÂÂ
           “Ah, you’re still a sweetie, aren’t you?â€Â
ÂÂ
Sweetie, she said. All of a sudden, I was getting a little light-headed. I managed a laugh. “If you say so.â€Â
ÂÂ
She laughed too. More honey, dripping. The sound sent a shiver down my back. “Is April around?†she asked.
ÂÂ
“Um, no…  She’s been living in Europe, with her folks. Sorry.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Europe? So…what about you guys?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Yeah,†I said. “Things just, you know…didn’t last.â€Â
ÂÂ
Oh. Well… Shit. I’m sorry. I was going to invite her to this…party I was having Friday night.â€Â
ÂÂ
“That’s too bad. I’m sure she would’ve liked to go.†I didn’t know what else to say. There was a long, pregnant pause. I listened to the crackling void on the other end of the phone line, and I had the sinking feeling that our strained little conversation was over. Then Liz surprised me.
ÂÂ
“Hey, well, how would you like to come, Grove?â€Â
ÂÂ
I blinked. “Really?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Yeah. I know it’s kind of late notice, and it’s…a little silly, I guess, kind of a girlie thing, you know? I mean, you might not be interested, but I need to bring someone…†She drifted off.
ÂÂ
For a second, I wondered why she was asking me to come, not her husband. But that thought lasted the blink of an eye; if it meant seeing Liz again, there was no way I was going to refuse. I was honestly kind of curious anyway. And besides, my dick was harder than it’d been all morning, even after watching five bucks worth of porn. I didn’t have any big plans for Friday. What did I have to lose?
ÂÂ
“What kind of ‘girlie thing’ are we talking about?†I asked.
ÂÂ
She laughed again, nervously, I thought. I wondered what about talking to me could make Liz nervous. “It’s kind of…a…a lingerie party.â€Â
ÂÂ
My turn to laugh. Liz stayed quiet. I blinked, waited a beat before answering with a dumbfounded, “You’re kidding, right?â€Â
ÂÂ
Liz sighed on the other end of the line, then, matter-of-factly, “No.â€Â
ÂÂ
“You want me to come to a lingerie party.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Yeah, if you want….I mean, I know it sounds weird, but I promised there would be a bunch of us, and most of the girls I know are going to be there, but…†She paused, took a breath. “You know, you don’t have to buy anything if you don’t want to, but you could get a gift for April, and there’s going to be some stuff for guys too…leopard skin underwear, stuff like that…â€Â
ÂÂ
I chewed it over. Thought about maybe being the only guy in a roomful of tipsy, scantily-clad women. Thought about what April was going to say when she found out.
ÂÂ
I made up my mind. I was in. “Hey, sure Liz. It’ll be fun.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Really?†She sounded almost relieved. “You’ll come?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Yeah, I…â€Â
ÂÂ
“That’s great! Everybody’s going to get here about eight. Here let me give you my phone number and the directions to my house…â€Â
ÂÂ
“Okay, hold on and let me find a pen…â€Â
ÂÂ
I sat up and scribbled some notes on the back of my video receipt. Liz thanked me again, and we both hung up. I sat there with the phone in my lap for a long minute. Then I grinned and went back to my movie, and this time I didn’t have any trouble getting it up.
           I nodded, popped a jalapeno pepper in my mouth and chewed happily, savoring the oily burn. I’d just filled Andre in on yesterday’s events. He’d met Elizabeth once, after April and I bought our home, at our housewarming party. A long time ago, it seemed. I could see from his eyes that he had the same memories of her that I did. I grinned and wiped my hands on my napkin while I confirmed the question.
ÂÂ
“Yep. The whole truth, brotha. No shit.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Andre leaned back. The aluminum chair under his big ass squeaked and groaned. He adjusted his Yankees cap, wiped fingers down his wiry goatee, shook his head.
ÂÂ
“Damn, man. Shit like this isn’t fair. I knew that girl was a shark the minute I laid eyes on her.†He crossed his arms, chewed on his lip. “How come she invited you? Does that tall mocha drink dig the white boy cream?â€Â
ÂÂ
           I shrugged and sipped cold beer. The burn receded to a constant, pleasant tingle at the back of my tongue. “Hell if I know.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “You know, if she finds out – and you know she’s gonna – April’s gonna eat you alive if any shit happens.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “She will even if nothing happens.†I said, digging back into the pile of chips. “I’ll just cross my fingers. But nothing’s going to happen, you know, Liz is married, man, to some dude way out of my league.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Doesn’t matter,†Andre waved that comment on by. “You said it didn’t sound like he’d be around anyway, right? You get there, all that pussy spread out on the couch and what-not; they’ll all be drinking wine, getting’ all tipsy and giggly, next thing you know they’ll be trying on the frilly panties and shit, modeling for you…then, BAM! You’ll be on the floor, humping away; drunk, horny bitches lined up to be fuckin’ you…â€Â
           “Look, Grove,†he pointed a finger at my cell phone. “Reg and I’ll be at Tin’s club tomorrow night, maxin’ with Barry and his boys.â€Â
ÂÂ
“They’re playing?†I asked. We’d known Barry from way back. He’d been a fixture on the local music scene since we were all in college together. Now he was heading up some retro-funk band that had been scaring up some hot press lately.
ÂÂ
“Yeah. Tin’s isn’t too far from where you’re gonna be, right? Only what – ten, fifteen minutes away? Anyway, you need some help handling all that pussy, you call us.†Andre leered, showing off a mouthful of big white teeth. He picked up his last taco and poured half a bottle hot sauce over it. “An’ we’ll come a’ runnin’.â€Â
I was running late Friday night. Got off work late and immediately got stuck in a massive snarl of traffic. Bumper to bumper for as far as the eye could see. I veered off the freeway at the closest exit to my house, stopped for a quick burger at a fast food drive-through, got stuck behind a soccer-mom’s van that was idling, belching black smoke. When I finally pulled back out into the streets, I opened my bag of food, only to discover the goon at the window got my order all wrong. Fuck it – I didn’t have time to go back and complain. I grumbled, but scarfed the shit down anyway, and took side streets the rest of the way home. Parked in the driveway and ran inside at twenty-to-eight, grabbed a quick shower, dressed, checked myself in the full-length mirror in the bedroom, frowned, dressed again. By the time I pulled up at Liz’s curb, it was a quarter past, and the street around her house was full of expensive luxury cars. I found a spot a ways up the hill, parked, beeped my car locked, and walked back, carrying a bottle of decent wine I’d picked up during my lunch hour.
ÂÂ
It was clear that Liz and her husband liked their privacy. Their house was big and old, set far back from the road on a good-sized chunk of real estate. The thing must’ve cost a fortune. Leafy, box-trimmed hedges surrounded the large, fresh-cut, forest green lawn, isolating the house further from the neighbors. All the lights inside were turned on. I opened the rod-iron gate and went down the front path to the door, rang the bell. Made sure my reflection looked good while the chime gonged somewhere deep in the house.
ÂÂ
I was about to ring again when a lock clicked open, and I heard that magic voice, the honey muffled behind the heavy wood door. Then the door opened, and Liz was there, smiling at me, smothering me with a wave of pure physical force. She was wearing a simple black dress that hugged every perfect curve, black silk stockings, and polished black stiletto heels. She nonchalantly tugged a flopped-down spaghetti strap back over a shapely, nut-brown shoulder and pulled me inside.
ÂÂ
“Grove! I didn’t think you were going to make it!†She said, and pushed the door gently closed. It clicked shut.
ÂÂ
I grinned sheepishly. “Yeah, sorry about that. Work…you know?â€Â
ÂÂ
She shook her head. Long silver baubles dangled from her earlobes, diamonds flashed in the light. Her dark eyes sparkled.
ÂÂ
“No,†she laughed, “not really.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Here,†I said, and awkwardly held out the bottle of wine. “I brought this for you.â€Â
ÂÂ
           She took the bottle and smiled, barely looked at it. Her eyes were still on mine.
ÂÂ
“Oh, baby, you didn’t need to do that.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Well, you know, it’s a party and all…â€Â
ÂÂ
She stepped close and hugged me. Her hair was cut shorter than I remembered, curling in waves close to her neck. A wispy brown lock tickled my nose, and felt her breath warm at the side of my throat. I hugged her back, feeling her body press tight against me. I got that lightheaded feeling again, and my dick began tingling, got harder than it had been during any of my recent jack-off time. I caught a whiff of perfume, sweet and subtle, that I barely referenced past my sudden sensory overload. There was something else in the air too, sharp and pungent, smelling like cinnamon; candles, or incense, maybe.
ÂÂ
We parted, and she took a second, looked me up and down. “You haven’t changed a bit, have you?†she asked.
ÂÂ
I wasn’t too sure how to take that, but she looked approving. “I guess not.â€Â
ÂÂ
“You look good enough to eat…†She smiled. Then she took my arm, wrapped it up in hers. “C’mon, let’s go introduce you to the girls…â€Â
ÂÂ
***
          ÂÂ
Liz walked me to the living room and made her introductions. I nodded as she ticked off the names she was telling me, making an effort to match names with faces, and even managing to remember a few. Andre about had it right: there were maybe twenty gorgeous women; some younger, some older, all dressed to the hilt, sipping wine and fruity mixed drinks. They were sitting in a loose semi-circle, on the sofa and in chairs; all positioned facing another, extremely busty older woman, primly dressed in a close-fitted business suit and skirt. She looked like she’d just stepped out of a Vanity Fair spread. Boxes and bags of things were spread out on the coffee table and tucked around her feet. Each of the ladies smiled appraisingly at me. I almost felt like I was dessert, just being brought out after a tasty meal.
           She flitted over to the bar, came back with a glass of something cold. Latched right back onto my arm. “Here, try it.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Every eye was still on me. I was definitely starting to feel like I was on display, definitely the odd man out. “Uh, cheers,†I said, and took a tentative sip. The drink was sweet, with a slight tang of alcohol and an almost bitter undercurrent of something I couldn’t place. For a second, I had a crazy feeling, remembering the old Agatha Christie type mysteries, where the detective has solved the murder, declaring death by poisoning, and goes on to describe how arsenic was supposed to taste, like bitter almonds. “Mm,†I mumbled, pushing the paranoid thought away. “That’s pretty good.â€Â
ÂÂ
           It was like a sigh of acceptance passed through the room. Liz smiled up at me. My head was absolutely swimming, being this close to her.
ÂÂ
           The older woman with all the packages licked her red painted lips with the corner of a tiny pink tongue. She patted her silver hair, made sure it was in place, pulled back in a severe bun. She winked at me. “Well,†she said. “Let’s make our guest comfortable and get started, shall we?â€Â
ÂÂ
           Next to me, still clinging to my arm, Liz almost curtsied. “Of course, Sarah. Sorry, all.†She turned to me, whispered, “Here, sit by me.â€Â
ÂÂ
           I let Liz pull me to the couch. The two women sitting there shifted to make room. A blonde in her early twenties patted the cushion next to her hip, smiled invitingly. We sat down. Liz set the bottle of wine in a bucket of ice on the table, and I wondered how much wine they’d already gone through. I wiggled in between the blonde and Liz, suddenly enjoying the press of warm female bodies next to me. I looked around; found that I was still the center of attention: the ladies stared and demurely sipped their drinks; the blonde who’d scooted over to make room smiled and practically nuzzled up next to me. Liz put her hand possessively on my thigh, and I almost jumped. She patted my leg, and I noticed that she wasn’t wearing her wedding ring.
The woman named Sarah clapped her hands, and all the attention immediately snapped back in her direction. “Back to business,†she said, smiled sweetly, and opened the bag sitting in front of her, rooted around. Tissue paper rustled. I took another sip of my drink, caught some of the women glancing at me out of the corner of their eyes. I raised my eyebrows, got more smiles. The blonde, I think her name was Kate, shifted, and her breast brushed my elbow. I tried to shrink my six-foot-two self into a smaller space and failed. Her breast stayed where it was. It was a nice, soft breast. Even so, I moved slightly closer to Liz, who started gently petting the inside of my leg. The blonde scooted closer, her big, soft boob again connecting with my elbow.
ÂÂ
I swallowed hard.
ÂÂ
There was a quiet murmur around the room, and all the attention focused back towards the front, to Sarah. “Okay, our first item would look fantastic on our new friend tonight, I think…†Sarah smiled my way as she said that, and held up a pair of heavy padded leather handcuffs.
ÂÂ
           “Holy shit,†I whispered. The blonde took my free arm and pressed my hand to her leg. I stared, and then took another slug from my glass as Liz’s hand found my crotch and continued its slow, steady petting.
ÂÂ

          ÂÂ
Forty-five minutes later, I was working on my fourth or fifth drink. I was tipsy enough to have lost count. Most of the bags and boxes were empty, I was horny as all hell, and my head was reeling. I wondered why; the drinks didn’t seem all that strong. Women had disappeared into the bedrooms, come back wearing skimpy silk and lace outfits, each one with less material than the last. Women drank and laughed while teasing me with little buzzing clit-stimulators and huge strap-on vibrators. The blonde next to me, Kate, was now naked except for a white satin push-up bra and a pair of crotchless panties. I knew they were crotchless because my fingertips were exploring and told me so. Sarah had taken off her suit top and skirt, and she was now standing with a small riding crop, modeling the black corset and stockings she’d had on underneath her clothes. She wore the outfit like an old pro. Liz was still in her dress, except both the straps were down off her shoulders now, and to me she looked sexier than any of the other ladies who were parading around in their new undies. She had her arm around my shoulder. She and Kate were both brazenly nuzzling my neck; Liz’s wandering hand had long since found the zipper to my pants and had disappeared inside; Blondie had unbuttoned most of my shirt, and was tickling my chest with her fingernails. I could see Sarah smiling at me with a wicked gleam in her eye. She smacked the tough leather crop down hard into her palm, and I jumped. Other eyes were beginning to turn our way…
ÂÂ
The sensation around my crotch was driving me out of my mind. Liz had me hard as a rock. Andre’s voice was playing over-and-over, like a loop reel in my head, ‘…next thing you know they’ll be trying on the frilly shit, modeling it for you…then, BAM! You’ll be on the floor, humping away…’
ÂÂ
“Whooo,†I muttered. “Need to use the bathroom, I think.â€Â
ÂÂ
Kate pouted as I extracted my hand from between her legs. Liz paused, gave me that seductive smile again, pointed. “Upstairs, first door on the left.â€Â
ÂÂ
“’Kay,†I said. “Back in a minute.â€Â
ÂÂ
“You hurry.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh, yeah.†I nodded.
ÂÂ
I excused myself and carefully wandered up the stairs, using the banister to steady myself. My head was spinning badly. I rounded the corner, found the bathroom. My dick was hanging out of my open pants, pointing straight out at an angle. I washed my hands and rinsed my face with cold water. I thought about what was going to happen when I want back downstairs, and stared at my dripping face in the mirror, realizing the blood pressure pounding through my dick wasn’t letting up. I was getting more than a little panicked. Shit, I thought. This isn’t natural.Did Liz drug me?
ÂÂ
Carefully, I left the bathroom and snuck a look around the corner, used my cell phone to zoom in and snap a picture. I crept back into the bathroom and shut the door, sat on the edge of the bathtub, called Andre. He answered on the second ring. I could hear a crowd, but no music. I guessed he was already at the club, but it was still too early for the band to have started.
ÂÂ
“Hey mutherfucker,†he shouted over the noise. “’Was’up? Where you at?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Dude, I’m here.†I hissed.
ÂÂ
“Where?â€Â
ÂÂ
I shook my head. He sounded drunker than I felt, but I knew it was more an act for the benefit of whoever was at the bar around him. Andre didn’t drink anything except mineral water. He thought everything else was poison aimed at the righteous black man.
ÂÂ
“I’m at that party I was telling you about.â€Â
ÂÂ
It took him a beat. “The bitch party?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Yeah.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Sssshhhiiiiit. You bangin’ yet?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Andre, shut up, dammit. I need your help.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Boy, a real man in yo’ place wouldn’t need no help.†He laughed.
ÂÂ
I groaned. “Man, I’m not Captain Jim-fucking-Kirk, alright?â€Â
ÂÂ
More laughter.
ÂÂ
“Look, I’m sending you a picture. Check it out. I’m trapped here with a couple dozen drunk, freaky women, and as cool as that sounds, I’m not eighteen fucking years old anymore, you know what I’m saying? I need some god-damn, dick-swinging help here, right now!â€Â
ÂÂ
I could hear Reg in the background, asking what was up. Andre was laughing so hard he could barely talk. “Shit, man, I was just fuckin’ around wit’ you, Grove, you know you my boy…â€Â
ÂÂ
I cut him off. “Just look at the damn picture. Okay? You remember the address?â€Â
I disconnected the line, mailed off the picture. As soon as it was sent, I stood, pocketed the phone and opened the bathroom door. I stepped out into the hall, right in front of a tidal wave of drunk and horny womanhood, surging up the stairs. Sarah and Liz led the charge. They stopped barely a foot away from me. Sarah ran the tip of her riding crop up and down my chest.
ÂÂ
“Well, well. We thought you ran away.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh, no,†I said, as I was surrounded by the flow of curvaceous, scantily clad bodies. “I was just coming back to join the party.â€Â
ÂÂ
“That’s very sweet. Liz told me you were a sweet boy.†Sarah smiled, and her eyes no longer held that bright, mischievous quality I thought I’d seen early. Now they looked…hungry.
ÂÂ
“Yeah, well…†I started. Small, warm hands were slowly touching me, running all over. I noticed Liz take my hand, felt a thick leather strap wrap around my wrist. “Hey, now! Uh, look, why don’t we go back down and…â€Â
ÂÂ
“I don’t think so, sweet boy.â€Â
ÂÂ
Sarah looked at Liz, who buckled the leather handcuffs tight. I was pushed and pulled over backwards. I lost my balance and fell into the mass of flesh, and then they were all over me. I struggled, but they pinned me to the floor and easily pulled my arms up over my head, tightened the straps of another cuff on my other arm, and then they started ripping at my clothes. I freaked. Started to yell, and Sarah nodded to Liz. She knelt by my head, I looked at her pleadingly, and when I opened my mouth, she stuffed a hard rubber ball inside, then wrapped it in a leather gag and buckled it around my head. My shoes and socks were pulled off, my pants and underwear followed fast, and my shirt was torn to shreds. Hungry, lusting eyes stared at me from above. More cuffs were clamped around my ankles. Sarah straddled my naked body, lightly stroked my swollen cock with her whip. The damn thing throbbed and twitched as she probed at it.
ÂÂ
“We’ve come to bring the…party…to you.â€Â
ÂÂ

ÂÂ
Andre snapped his flip-phone shut, slapped it down on the counter, feeling a little bit pissed at his best friend. He remembered Elizabeth, all right, remembered how fine she was, and he just couldn’t figure why Grove sounded so upset. Reg was sitting on the barstool opposite, staring at him, waiting for him to say something. On stage, Barry and the band were just getting their equipment set up, getting ready for their sound check.
           The sound tech in the upper booth called check; on stage, the band’s drummer lit into a groove, then Barry joined in with a heavy, rubbery base line. They sounded good-to-go to Andre. He was standing, ready to join the crowd already pushing up to the edge of the stage, but paused as his cell vibrated. Andre checked the phone’s screen: mail from Grove. He flipped open his phone, hit a button, and his jaw dropped.
ÂÂ
           “What?†Reg repeated over the roar of the crowd. “What the fuck’s goin’ on?â€Â
Andre held out the phone. Reg squinted, blinked, looked up at Andre.
ÂÂ
“That what I think it is?†he said.
ÂÂ
Andre just nodded.
ÂÂ
“We outta here?†Reg asked.
ÂÂ
A beat, then they both nodded together.
ÂÂ
“YO! BARRY!â€Â
ÂÂ
Andre cupped his hands around his mouth and bellowed while Reg wildly waved his arms. Barry glanced up, confused, spotted his friends and shrugged, as if to say, what?
“WE’LL CHECK YOU LATER, BRO!â€Â
ÂÂ
Then they were pushing out of the club, heading towards Andre’s car.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
The women dragged me, kicking and squirming, down the hall to the large master bedroom. Liz opened the door, and they hauled me onto a king-size bed. A heavy plastic sheet crackled underneath me. They gathered around the bed, several of them spreading my arms and legs into a wide X-shape. They cuffed my wrists to a heavy iron headboard and my legs to strong iron posts below. They hushed as Sarah straddled my legs, positioned her hips over my knees. She flicked the leather thong at the tip of her riding at my nipples, stinging. She used it to caress me, slid the tip along my jaw.
ÂÂ
“Now, Sweet,†she whispered. “Don’t be frightened. You’ve been chosen, just for this, specially, by my dear Elizabeth.â€Â
ÂÂ
Liz smiled vacantly. Like there was nobody home.
ÂÂ
Sarah slid forward, easing herself over my throbbing cock.
ÂÂ
“Do you like that, Sweet?†Sarah hissed through clenched teeth. “Don’t you like being so hard?†She reached between her legs and grabbed me, pulling my shaft towards warm, moist lips. “Just a little special powder that dear Elizabeth slipped into your drinks, so you’ll be able to pleasure us for hours and hours.â€Â
ÂÂ
I closed my eyes as she sank onto me, wiggling like a snake, her pussy taking me in, inch by inch. A low hum filled the room, and I opened my eyes. Sarah had her whip in one hand, balled into a tiny fist and braced on my chest; the other was busy untying the red satin ribbon binding her corset closed. Her eyes were closed tight, a look of pure rapture etched on her smooth face. In the dim light, her pale skin shined like porcelain. Liz knelt on the bed at the left side of my head, eyes closed, her body swaying slightly. She stroked my hair. The hem of her dress was pulled up over her hips, her fingers lightly rubbing her between her thighs. Blondie was on my right, and she’d taken a different approach: she’d pressed her body against the wall by my trapped hand and jammed my fingers into her pussy. Warm juice flowed down over my wrist. The other women around me chanted in a single, sing-song voice, their eyes flickering, bodies moving as one.
ÂÂ
Above me, Sarah’s hips began a slow, serpentine writhing. She bent forward; mashing her heavy tits into my chest, the soft muscles in her pussy squeezing and releasing my cock as she moved. Her lips grazed my neck, nibbled gently at the hollow of my throat. She opened her eyes and smiled, whipped my side with her crop. I grunted into the gag and my entire body lurched up off the bed with the sudden, stinging pain. She whipped me again, and again, from side to side, each lash stinging, making me twist under her, try to flinch away, but it just drove me further up inside her.
ÂÂ
“Move, sweet boy. Move with me…â€Â
ÂÂ
She kept her face level with mine, one hand grabbing my throat, choking me; she hit me harder and faster, until I was bucking spasmodically underneath her, my cock driving up into her pussy. She grunted with effort, and her eyes seemed to cloud over with pleasure as she hurt me, relishing my pain, whipping me into a frenzy.
ÂÂ
“That’s it…†she moaned softly, “Ummm…so big and hard…,†Her voice changed, dropped to a hiss, a whisper, “You know Sweet, dear Elizabeth slipped you a tiny bit of a very strong drug in each of your drinks…mmmm…that’s it, right…there…mmm, just like that, Sweet…that’s…beautiful…†She gasped and dug her red fingernails into the soft skin of my neck. She swallowed me completely inside, sucking me fully into her warm, juicy cunt. She squirmed happily, rubbing her round bottom on my groin. “Each drink had a large enough dose to make you stay hard and lively for all of us to enjoy you, no matter how many times we decide to take you. Isn’t that wonderful? Mmmmmmm…ohhh…â€Â
ÂÂ
She licked a finger, ran it down my forehead, over my cheek, and tickled the gag in my mouth. Wiped away the spit oozing down my face; licked her fingers clean. She laughed and began grinding, moving harder and faster, raking her nails over my chest and shoulders hard enough to draw blood. I groaned and cried out, the sounds completely muffled. Sarah fucked me slowly, her whip always working, turning my sides a beet red. Tears of paid and frustration joined the saliva pooling on the plastic under my head, but my dick seemed to have a mind of its own, throbbing painfully with ever tiny squeeze from her pussy.
ÂÂ
When Sarah finally began to peak, the chanting around us rose to a crescendo. Most of the women I could see were openly masturbating. Sarah pushed away from me, arched her spine and threw her head back. She howled towards the ceiling, her huge tits bouncing, her butt grinding and slapping against my thighs. I fought and fought the urge to cum, but she finally won. She came with a long, sharp cry, her pussy clenching me so hard that I exploded with her, pumping thick white streams of cum, just as her hot juice ran and dribbled down my belly and thighs. Sarah collapsed on top of me, breathing hard, and I heard other women climax as well. I lay still, my cock still hard; aching and buried deep, moisture dripping onto the plastic sheet under my ass.
ÂÂ
Minutes passed, and when Sarah sat up again, through the muted light, I could swear her eyes had turned to dark slits.
ÂÂ
Sarah paused for a moment, distracted, like she was listening for something only she could hear, then smiled and turned to two of the younger women. “Well, well. Susan, Tabitha – it seems that Elizabeth’s friend here has taken it on himself to invite more guests. Most unexpected, but…they are just now arriving. Why don’t you go and greet them, offer them refreshments before bringing them back here, hmm?â€Â
ÂÂ
I could hear the girls mumble, “Of course, Mistress.†Then I heard Elizabeth’s doorbell chiming - once, twice - quietly, as if from very far away; and then the soft patter of the girls’ footsteps receding down the hall.
ÂÂ
And while Sarah turned her attention back to me, through a blurry haze of drugs and pain, I wondered what the hell I’d gotten myself and my friends into.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
“There, that’s it.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Andre drove past the house, hunting for a place to park. That was the address, for sure, her thought, and damn, Grove wasn’t kidding about the party being packed. There were cars lined up halfway up and down the block. He cruised up a short hill, spotted Grove’s car.
ÂÂ
“Lookie-lookie,†Andre hummed, tapping the steering wheel with his thumb. “Grove even saved a space for us…†How was that for luck? He pulled a fast u-turn, parked right behind Grove’s old Beamer, then they got out and walked.
ÂÂ
“Damn, will you look at this shit?†Reg whistled when they got close. The house stank of big money.
ÂÂ
“Yeah, I know what you mean.†Andre noticed all the lights were on. “Looks like the party’s still happenin’, Yo.â€Â
ÂÂ
They followed the walkway to the porch, tapped the doorbell twice. Andre listened to the chime, deep inside, kept humming, feeling loose and horny, remembering the roomful of tiny, half-naked women in the picture Grove sent. Reg kept staring, soaking in the size of the place.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
“That’s a good, sweet boy,†Sarah hissed, after the girls had gone. “You’ve given up your seed, as you were chosen to do. And now…â€Â
ÂÂ
Sarah grabbed her crop in both hands, and pulled hard. A tiny, silver knife slipped from its sheath hidden in the handle of the whip, and my eyes went wide. I tried to scream and shake my head no…no, please, no!; but Liz wrapped a fist in my hair, holding me still. The gleaming blade bit deep, sliced a jagged oval from my naval past my nipples. Fresh blood spurted, mingling with the blood still oozing from the scratches Sarah’s fingernails had dug into my skin. I screamed into the gag and thrashed like a madman. My limbs were still buckled tight, and I flopped uselessly around on the bed. Sarah bent and lapped at the warm, sticky blood flowing from the shallow gash she’d carved.
ÂÂ
Then, with a sickening, gurgling laugh, Sarah lifted her head to mock my screams, and finally, she showed me her true face.
ÂÂ
I stared, horrified, at the thing that was Sarah, as her ruby lips blackened and peeled away over glistening needle sharp fangs; her tongue rolled out, long and bloated and covered with bristles that stuck like barbs in my skin, ripping away thin strips of skin as she began to feed. All around me, the women were changing: their smooth, creamy skin giving way to pale, scaly, dead flesh. Round eyes turned to black slits, fingers to claws. And hovering just above me, April’s friend, Elizabeth: the beautiful Elizabeth; bending close, brutally mashing my head to the side, grinning obscenely as her lovely smile distended; hot saliva dripped from the yawning pit of her mouth, burning on my cheek as her jagged teeth tore at my throat…
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
When the door finally opened, both Andre and Reg thought they’d died and gone to heaven. They were greeted by two phenomenal looking bitches swishing twin crystal drinking glasses that were brimming with scotch poured over chipped ice, and they were decked out in some of the skimpiest, sexiest bra’s and panties Andre had ever seen outside of a magazine.
ÂÂ
They were still standing there staring, goggle-eyed and open-mouthed, when the girls made the first move. One smiled at Reg, the other at Andre. Without uttering a word, the girls batted their eyes, handed the dumbfounded men the drinks, then took them by the arm and whisked them inside. Reg automatically took a huge swig, downing half the drink in a gulp. The girl on his arm looked on approvingly. Andre looked down at his glass, back at the girl smiling up at him.
ÂÂ
“Well, hey. Thanks, girl. Mm, damn! What is this, whiskey? How did you know that’s just what I needed?â€Â
ÂÂ
The girl just kept on smiling. She snuggled close, pressed warm, luscious curves against him. She giggled and wiggled her eyebrows suggestively. “Try some.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Well, yeah, alright…,†Andre gulped at her touch, his crotch jumping to attention. “Let’s get this party started, huh?†Andre reluctantly sipped his drink, hating the booze’s smell, hating the burn of the alcohol as it trickled down his throat, hating the buzz he knew he was going to get from having even just this one glass; wishing to hell it was soda water. But everybody was watching and he didn’t want to play the fool, so he sipped anyway, and that’s when the little Asian cutie on his arm reached out, giggling, and tipped his glass straight up. Ice chips clunked against Andre’s teeth, and the amber liquid splashed down his throat, over his shirt.
ÂÂ
He came up sputtering, eyes burning, staring at his ruined silk shirt. Reg and the tiny redhead clutching his arm laughed like it was the funniest damn thing they’d ever seen.
ÂÂ
“Dammit, look at this shit,†he growled.
ÂÂ
Reg was biting the lip of his glass, still snickering. “Yo, man. You s’posed to drink it. Like this…†He took another gulp, downed the rest of his drink, and turned to his girl. “That’s damn good, baby. Got any more?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Mm-hmm,†she teased, pulling him over to the bar by the stairwell. “Right over here…â€Â
ÂÂ
Andre futilely brushed at the alcohol dripping off his chin. The Asian cutie pouted for a second, then stepped closer when he ignored her. She gave him an impish little smile, and then started popping open his shirt buttons.
ÂÂ
He took an involuntary step back as buttons bounced and scattered onto the polished floor. “Whoa – hey now…!â€Â
ÂÂ
The girl stared up into Andre’s eyes, her hands massaging his bare chest. “Why don’t you just finish the rest of that, and then come upstairs with me and we’ll get you out of these wet clothes?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Um, okay…†He mumbled.
ÂÂ
Andre took a last swig, swallowed with a wince. Then he let her take his hand, and found himself following her up the stairs, staring at her swishing ass. Reg and his girl were already halfway up, Reg stumbling a little, playfully pulling at her panties, the girl not doing much to stop him.
ÂÂ
Andre’s eyes still stung. His vision blurred and he blinked hard, trying to clear it. The girl’s ass faded in and out. He realized he was about to get laid. Unbelievable. He hoped he wouldn’t have a hard time breaking out the condoms. He tried to think of something witty to say, to help break the tension. Came up with a lame, “So, Baby? What’s your name?â€Â
ÂÂ
She peeked over her shoulder. “Tabitha.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Tabitha…†Andre mumbled. He was already feeling a little bit juiced. That was some strong shit she made me guzzle, he thought. “We, uh, we were here to meet up with a friend of ours, a dude named Grover…er, well, he goes by Grove. White boy, but big, tall, you know? Played ball wit’ him back in school in the day…â€Â
ÂÂ
He was babbling. Shit felt all wrong, he needed some time to sort things out, get through the bleary haze that had taken over most of his skull. Tabitha seemed to notice he was hesitating, took him by the hand. “He’s right up here, sweetheart, in the bedroom with everybody else.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh, okay,†he nodded, as she pulled him on down the hall. “Hey – you say ‘sweetheart’?â€Â
ÂÂ
           For an answer, Tabitha gave him another enigmatic look, a look that sent his blood pounding.
ÂÂ
Reg and his girl disappeared into a doorway, through which eager, female faces peeked out. Andre felt his crotch give him a push, felt it taking over, losing control. He was blinking hard now, lurching a little from side-to-side, when Tabitha guided him through the doorway.
ÂÂ
Andre dropped her hand and glanced around. He shook his head, still trying to clear his vision. It wasn’t working, just making the back of his skull pound. The room started spinning. He closed his eyes and stopped dead, right inside the doorway. Hands reached for him, pulled him partway into the room, yanked at his wet, stained shirt, began unbuckling his pants. He groaned happily, enjoying the beginnings of his erection. The first thing he noticed, when he opened his eyes again, was Reg, completely surrounded by about six hot bitches that were pushing him to the floor, literally ripping off his clothes. Reg was giggling like a girl, halfway naked already, playfully biting at a pair of hard pink nipples swaying just out of his reach.
ÂÂ
“Holy crap.â€Â
ÂÂ
Andre felt hands on his hips and looked down at Tabitha, who was kneeling in front of his crotch, pushing his pants down around his ankles. His cock sprung out, almost smacked her in the face. She wrapped him up in a tiny little fist, started pumping. When her lips touched him, Andre heard himself groan with pleasure.
ÂÂ
He looked back down noticed the floor, some kind of funky carpet…no, not carpet, more like…plastic wrap, spread all over …?
ÂÂ
Before he could think about what that meant any further, a half dozen women circled him. Fingers ran through his short, spiky dreadlocks. Hands played with his shoulders, his chest, pinched his ass. The crowd of women parted, and Andre glimpsed a hot-looking old bitch, riding the life out of some lucky dude tied to the bed. The dude’s legs and feet quivering, strapped to the headboard by the wrists, his hands knotted into fists clenched so hard the tendons stood out in his forearms. Andre saw something familiar, squinted to get a better look. A tattoo on one of the dude’s forearms, of some Muppet character – just like the one that Grove had done back in high school…
ÂÂ
The fact took a moment to register. Then Andre called to his friend.
ÂÂ
“Grove?â€Â
ÂÂ
           The woman straddling Grove turned and growled at the interruption, gnashing wickedly sharp teeth, wiping at a red smear dribbling down her chin. Another face that Andre recognized looked up as well, and he gasped. Elizabeth – or what passed for Elizabeth now. Both women were covered in blood; blood that was still weakly spurting from Grove’s skinned chest. Bare bone shone under crimson stained gristle. Grove’s body twitched spasmodically; free of Elizabeth’s grip, his head lolled forward, his eyes rolled back in their sockets, focused, then came to rest on Andre.
ÂÂ
           Grove moaned wetly, whispered through bloody foam, “Help me…â€Â
ÂÂ
 Andre’s eyes popped open, his vision suddenly very clear. And then, Reg started screaming. Andre turned to see his friend being eaten alive…
           Andre felt needle sharp teeth bite into the thick muscles of his shoulders. Something hissed down by his groin, and he squealed in pain, jerked backwards as Tabitha bit into his penis, tearing away a mouthful of the organ with a spray of blood. Andre grabbed at his wounded manhood, tangled his feet in his pants and fell into the hall. He tried to crawl away from the horror, clawing at the thick carpet, mewling like a kitten. But strong hands grabbed him by the ankles and pulled him back into the bedroom. He struggled, but it was useless. Women covered him and he was flipped over, held easily in place on the floor as Reg’s howls became fainter, turned into a weak gurgling.
ÂÂ
           The old woman slithered off Grove’s supine body, stood over Andre as he whimpered in fear and pain. She knelt, straddling his hips, bared her teeth in a wide, gory smile.
ÂÂ
           “Welcome,†she hissed in a voice that was no longer remotely human, “to the party.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Andre had time to scream, once. And then the women began to feed.
Moonlight dappled the dark, smooth surface of the lake, and something large made a quiet plunking sound as it broke the still water, somewhere out in the blackness. A huge, naked man dragged the brutalized carcass of what was once a pretty teenage girl named Jessica carelessly along a rotting old dock that jutted out ov

er the water. The full, silvery moon gave him light enough to pick his way, carefully stepping around loose, spongy boards to avoid falling through.
ÂÂ
There were things in this lake even he was wary of. ÂÂ
ÂÂ
He came to the edge of the dock and inhaled the night air deeply, expanding his massive chest. Except for the water lapping at the dock, all was quiet. Few animals ever snuck out of the woods to drink or hunt here, and those that braved the lake only did so out of desperation.  And the people that built the camp where he lived, and this dock; they all disappeared long ago.
ÂÂ
Another human hadn’t willingly stepped in these still woods in years.
ÂÂ
A sharp, gore-stained hunting knife glittered in his free hand. More drying blood covered his naked body from head to toe. The faint smell of the blood and the dead meat he carried would attract those that lived in the lake, driving them into a blood-frenzy; but that was expected. The man was not afraid or overly concerned; he had made the offering many times before.
ÂÂ
The scars covering his body would protect him with their magic, for a time. Not long, but time enough to finish his grisly chore, and keep the nameless things he served appeased for yet another day.
ÂÂ
The splash came again, but louder, and now joined by another, and yet another, jarring the man from his reverie. He shook himself from the daze and reversed the knife in his grip, then bent over the body and stabbed the blade deep into the dead girls’ cold, mutilated flesh.
ÂÂ
Her glazed eyes seemed to stare up at him, pleading. Vexed, he cut the eyes out of their sockets and threw them into the water for the waiting, hungry things to fight over. Then he gutted the body like a fish, working slowly and methodically, hacking off thick chunks of the pale flesh and tossing the offal into the water.
ÂÂ
Instantly, the mirror surface around the dock turned into a frothing, churning mass of gnashing fangs.
ÂÂ
The whorls of scar tissue covering his hairless body glowed red, then white-hot as the things fed. He whistled to himself while he finished his grisly chore, finally filling the corpses’ empty belly with heavy stones, and tossing the remains into the lake.
ÂÂ
He watched her sink in a bloody cloud. He knew that even the bones would be gone by morning.
ÂÂ
The man wiped sweat and blood from his eyes and started back to camp. The work had aroused him. The moon was still bright, calling him, and he still had two more pretty toys to play with before eventually, they too would find their ultimate fate at the water’s edge.

ÂÂ
           “There’s a rest stop up ahead.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Mary’s husband Gus pointed at the faded, bullet-pocked green road sign as they passed.
ÂÂ
           “Half a mile.†He turned to her and stretched, scratching at what was left of his wispy-grey hair. “Up for a break?â€Â
           Mary rubbed her tired, drooping eyes with the heel of her hand, trying to wipe away the scratchy, itchy-burning sensation that felt like sandpaper under her eyelids. It didn’t help. Hadn’t for hours, really. She was half-asleep, driving by instinct. Only Gus’s rip-saw snores from the passenger seat had kept her awake these last several miles. He’d finally mumbled something incoherent about pumpkins and woke up when she rolled down her window to get some fresh air.
ÂÂ
           It was dusk; the purple streaks from the sunset were fading black, and the thick growth of trees lining the steep embankment blotted out what was left of the sunlight. She inhaled the cool night breeze blowing through the car and smelled the moist air from the creek running along the bottom of the hillside to their right.
ÂÂ
They were on their way back North to Seattle from California, after a two-week visit with their daughter Jenny and her family. They loved the kids dearly, but after two weeks of hyper, sugar-fueled grandchildren; the non-stop, go-go-go to every theme park, marina, and beach in the state, as well as all of the other things they had cram in on the visit…
ÂÂ
Mary knew they were finally getting old. Maybe they didn’t need the bifocal reading glasses yet (well, not her, anyway. Gus had his reading glasses stuck on top of his head and was rubbing the sore-looking red welts at the bridge of his nose), but they were both definitely on the cusp, on the slow downhill slide after fifty. And after two weeks away, they were both flat-out exhausted and perfectly glad to be getting home.
ÂÂ
And to top it off, as if someone had to prove the point, just as they were crossing the border into Oregon, Mary took a wrong turn. They’d wound up winding through the mountains instead of going the easy way, straight up I-5. They just laughed when they finally figured out what happened. Not too big of a deal – they were still heading in generally the right direction, and the drive was nice and scenic.
ÂÂ
Mary smiled at the memory of her grandkids as Gus pointed out the entrance to the rest stop. Gus grinned back at her with his own crooked smile; the very same one that had charmed her so when they met, way back in college. The only difference being that now, when Gus smiled at her, his face wrinkled up like a prune.
ÂÂ
           Good Lord, she realized. We’re alreadyold farts...
ÂÂ
           “Penny for your thoughts?â€Â
ÂÂ
           He reached over the cup-holder and patted her hand. She looked down and was happy to note that the skin on her arms and the backs of her hands was still smooth and soft, tanned an even nut-brown from lying by the pool in Jenny’s backyard. No age spots yet.
ÂÂ
           “Just wondering: why is it that I’m always more tired when we get back from a vacation than I was before we left?â€Â
ÂÂ
           Gus laughed. “Nobody ever said vacations were relaxing.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Mary giggled and pulled into an open space not far from an old brick bathroom and stopped the car next to a new, reflective sign set into the curb that listed the rules of the rest stop: No skateboarding, No overnight camping, No alcohol. All animals must be leashed. Above the sign was a map showing the layout of the area. The parking lot was shaped like a U, with another, larger parking strip hidden behind, back through the trees, past the day park and picnic tables.
ÂÂ
           She turned off the ignition, sank back in the leather seat and sighed. Except for their car and a large 18-wheeler idling near the exit, the rest area was empty. Not a lot of traffic followed this route anymore. When the last of the sunlight faded away, automatic lights ticked on, illuminating the bathrooms and the parking strip. They opened the car doors and stepped out into the night air.
ÂÂ
           “Oh, that’s better,†Gus groaned with relief and knuckled the small of his back.
ÂÂ
           Suddenly, Mary’s bladder was near to bursting. All the coffee she’d sipped during the drive was ready to gush down her legs if she didn’t get to a toilet, fast.
ÂÂ
           “I’ll be right back,†she said over her shoulder.
ÂÂ
           “H’okay. I’ll just mosey around out here a bit.â€Â
ÂÂ
           The restroom was gloomy and dark and stank of old urine. Years worth of graffiti and old, brown cobwebs defaced the brick, the mirrors above the chipped sinks were just broken frames, and most of the lights were either flickering or out altogether. Moths and gnats swirled around the one steady bulb encased in a protective mesh above the door.
ÂÂ
           Mary wrinkled her little nose. How quaint, she grimaced. It’s worse than going camping and having to poop out in the dirt.
ÂÂ
None of the stalls had doors, two of the toilets had overflowed, and all of them faced the open doorway leading out to the parking lot.
ÂÂ
           Eww. Yuck, yuck, yuck. Mary sighed and checked the last stall.
ÂÂ
To her amazement, it was relatively clean and almost seemed in good repair. At least there wasn’t a pool of smelly brown water that she’d have to wade through in order to do her business, like the others. There were even a few scraps of rough brown toilet paper left on the roll. On the off-chance her luck would hold up, Mary checked, but there were no paper seat covers left in the dispenser. Not that it really mattered anyway. What was left of the lid to the toilet was cracked and chipped, and half of it was torn away.
ÂÂ
           Oh well, she thought, pulling the hem of her light summer dress up to her hips. Beggars can’t be choosers.
ÂÂ
           She pulled down her panties, and holding her dress up with one hand, squatted; awkwardly bracing herself by holding onto the paper dispenser and trying to lean over the bowl without actually touching it with her butt. And of course, she managed to lose her balance and almost fall in.
ÂÂ
           Mary caught herself before there was any damage, and rolled her eyes.
ÂÂ
           If Gus could see me now, I’d never hear the end of it.
ÂÂ
She balanced on the lip of the cold, slimy bowl and sighed as the aching pressure in her bladder eased. While she pee’d, a toilet in the men’s room flushed, and she heard water running through the old pipes in the wall behind her.
ÂÂ
Someone whistled and a long shadow slipped past outside, pausing at the open doorway. Mary closed her eyes and folded her dress over her knees, hoping no one would peek through the door while she tinkled. Anyone walking by the restroom door right then would get an eye-full, and the glare from the outside lights blinded her to anyone who might be watching.
ÂÂ
           The whistling continued outside, and there was the click of a lighter, and a quick flash of light. Mary sniffed, smelled cigarette smoke. Then she heard heavy footsteps on the cement walkway, receding away from the restrooms towards the back parking lot.
ÂÂ
Mary wiped quickly with the remaining bits of toilet paper and flushed. A few minutes later she walked briskly back to the car, shaking cold water from her hands. Gus was waving at the truck driver, who honked back and pulled the noisy rig out onto the old highway.
ÂÂ
           She glanced around, feeling strangely uncomfortable, like she was being watched. But the lot was completely deserted now, other than Gus, who scratched his bald head as she approached.
ÂÂ
           Leave it to Gus to make a friend out here in the middle of nowhere. I wish I could do that.
ÂÂ
Mary smiled at her husband, attributing the feeling to coffee jitters and the long drive. She nodded at the truck as it melted into the darkness. “New buddy?â€Â
ÂÂ
           “That was a fella named Max. Max Davidson. Used to work at the railroad with old Elmer Cole, back when I was stationed in Tacoma. Small world, huh?†He grinned at her over the roof of the car. “Ready to get moving?â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Yep. Did you take a potty-break?â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Potty-break?†Gus laughed out loud. “Hon, you’ve been around the grandkids too long.â€Â
ÂÂ
           She laughed too, and unlocked the car. Gus looked concerned as she fumbled with the keys.
ÂÂ
           “You want me to drive for a spell?â€Â
           “Okey-dokey. I’ll keep the coffee coming just in case.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Good. I knew there was a reason I kept you around all these years.â€Â
ÂÂ
           They laughed together and buckled in. Mary turned the key in the ignition and they eased back onto the highway. In the rearview mirror, Mary noticed another pair of headlights flicker on and follow them out of the parking lot. Barely a mile down the road, she heard the siren wailing. Blue and red lights suddenly spun in the rearview-mirror and headlights flashed, making her squint with the glare.
           “What?†Gus turned around in his seat to look.
ÂÂ
           “The police, or a sheriff, or whatever. We’re getting pulled over.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “That’d be the state police, I think. Well, that’s a damn fine thing. What’d we do? Make an illegal turn?â€Â
           Mary eased to a stop on the lip of the road. Gravel crunched under the car’s tires, and she set the parking break. Next to Gus on the passenger side of the car was a sheer drop; easily a hundred feet straight down to the creek gurgling in the darkness below.
ÂÂ
The other vehicle pulled up about twenty yards behind them, and a bright spotlight illuminated the interior of their car, blinding them both.
           Gus lurched back down in his seat, blinking spots out of his eyes. Mary jumped as someone smacked the butt-end of a flashlight on her window. She groped blindly until she found the switch and rolled it down. She squinted, peering out at the huge, tall man standing next to her. She held up a hand to shield her eyes from the glare of the spotlight, but he snapped on the flashlight and Mary found herself blinking again, unable to see anything but the vague outline of his face behind a pair of dark glasses.
ÂÂ
           “Can I help you officer?â€Â
ÂÂ
           She was greeted with stony silence as the officer played the flashlight over Gus and the front seat, then the back of the car.
ÂÂ
           “Turn off the car and take the key out of the ignition, please. License and registration, ma’am.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Um, okay. Let me find it...†Mary turned the key in the ignition. She dropped the key-ring in a cupholder and flipped down the sun-visor. “May I ask what the trouble is...?â€Â
ÂÂ
           The flashlight snapped back to her, and then to Gus, who was rooting around in the glove compartment. “Sir, keep your hands on the dashboard, please.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Oh, sure. Sorry, but I thought we stuck the new registration in here...â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Just keep them where I can see them.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Gus looked at Mary, who shrugged. She found the paperwork and handed everything to the officer through the window. He snatched them from her and the light danced back and forth, from her face to her license and back. The officer grunted.
ÂÂ
           “Stay in the vehicle. I need to…call this in.â€Â
ÂÂ
           He spun on his heel and stomped back to his car.
ÂÂ
           “Gus, what’s going on? What did we do?â€Â
ÂÂ
           Mary was shaking. Her husband smiled reassuringly.
ÂÂ
           “It’s probably just a routine stop, hon. Don’t worry. We didn’t do anything. It’ll be fine. I...â€Â
ÂÂ
           Heavy footsteps crunched outside the Mary’s window.
ÂÂ
           “Ma’am? Please open the trunk of the vehicle.â€Â
           “There was a drug bust at a truck stop on Highway 84 about an hour ago. Several vehicles carrying suspects were seen leaving the scene. Witnesses described one vehicle with an older man and a woman driving that match your descriptions, and your license plate number. Now, please pop the trunk.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “This is absurd! Officer, we haven’t done anything wrong!â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Ma’am, I won’t ask you again. Pop the trunk. Do it now, or I’ll arrest both of you.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Gus shook his head, dumbfounded. Mary reached between her legs, found the trunk lever with trembling fingertips, and pulled. The blinding light eased as the trunk opened, and both Gus and Mary sighed with relief. They listened to the officer rooting around in back. The trunk slammed shut a moment later, and they were blinded again.
ÂÂ
The officer stomped back. He held several small plastic baggies in a gloved hand, all of them full of fluffy white powder. He unholstered his weapon with his free hand.
           Gus stared open-mouthed, flabbergasted. “B-but...that’s not ours! We didn’t...â€Â
ÂÂ
           The officer pocketed the baggies and yanked open Mary’s door. He waved at her with the gun. “Ma’am, please step out of the car. Sir, stay right where you are, keep your hands on the dash. Do you understand?â€Â
ÂÂ
           Gus gulped and nodded. He was shaking as Mary stepped outside. The officer took her roughly by the arm and spun her around.
ÂÂ
           “Both hands on the car. Right now.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Mary burst into tears, but bent at the waist and did what she was told. Her feet were kicked wide apart, and then a gloved hand was moving over her body, under her armpits, down her sides, over her hips and back up again. The officer bunched up her skirt and patted between her thighs, ran his hand over her stomach, up to her breasts.
ÂÂ
           “S-stop it! Please! We didn’t do anything! We...â€Â
ÂÂ
           Inside the car, Gus watched the officer frisk his wife, watched her cry with shame as he groped her full breasts. He pounded his fists on the dash, feeling totally, completely helpless. The officer yanked Mary’s arms behind her back and handcuffed her, grinning lewdly as he locked the metal bracelets tightly around her wrists.
ÂÂ
           “Goddammit, you bastard! I don’t care who you are! Leave her alone, or I’ll...â€Â
ÂÂ
           Gus opened his door and tried to step out, but Mary had parked so close to the cliff his foot dangled out above open air. Vertigo made his head spin as he leaned out over the precipice. Gus jerked back inside and tried to crawl across the seat, but the officer was already there, waiting for him.
ÂÂ
Gus froze, the cold barrel of the gun pressed hard against his forehead.
           Gus blinked once before the officer fired. His head exploded like a ripe melon, splattering blood and brains out the open passenger door and all over the interior of the car. What was left of Gus jerked backwards, then slumped forward into Mary’s seat, blood still spurting from the ragged wound.
ÂÂ
           Mary screamed and fell to her knees. She crawled through the dirt and the gravel, scraping her knees raw trying to reach her husband.
ÂÂ
A heavy boot planted itself in the middle of her back and pushed her flat to the ground. Vaguely, as if from far off, she heard someone whistling. Then a strong, gloved hand clamped a smelly rag to face, covering her mouth and nose. Mary screamed again, inhaling putrid fumes, and her world slowly turned black.
ÂÂ
           The officer grinned and bent into the car, casually pushed the corpse out of his way. He found the keys and stuck them in the ignition, then started the car and braced the gas pedal down with a stick. The engine revved loudly. He put the car in gear and unset the hand-break. The officer calmly lit a cigarette and inhaled deeply, blowing smoke out his nose as the car rolled off the embankment and crashed into the creek below.
ÂÂ
           He smoked the cigarette down to the filter and tossed the burning embers after the car. Then he picked up the old bitch and threw her lightly over his shoulder. He whistled as he carried her back to his cruiser.
ÂÂ
           A fireball exploded into the night sky, and the ground shook as he drove away.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
           Mary woke up with a pounding headache, handcuffed and gagged in the filthy back seat of a car. Her feet were bound loosely and someone had thrown a dirty blanket over her. The car was moving slowly down an old, unused dirt road.
ÂÂ
Mary bounced around uncomfortably as they seemed to hit every pothole in the road. The rough jostling had aroused her out of her drugged stupor. She could see stars through the treetops, the moon full and luminous in the clouds above.
           The officer got out of the car, and Mary listened to him light a cigarette and walk around to the side door. A few moments later the door by her head opened, and she was being dragged out of the backseat as if she weighed no more than a child. The officer set her on her feet and gave her a shove.
           She tripped over the ropes around her ankles, but managed to stumble forward towards a rotten wood overhang above dilapidated old benches, tables and fire pits. There were a few small A-frame style cabins scattered around the site, their moss-covered roofs caving in.
ÂÂ
The officer guided her to one of the picnic tables. A small lantern hung from a peg in the wall, illuminating the area for a few feet. He made her walk up to the edge of the table and spun her around.
           Mary sat on the edge of the rough wood, and he pushed her back onto the table. She shook her head, moaning into the gag.
ÂÂ
 The officer took a large hunting knife from a sheath at his belt and sliced through the heavy rope binding her ankles. The cigarette dangled from the corner of his lips as he worked, smoke drifting up, obscuring his features. Mary grunted again through her gag and tried to kick at him, but the officer punched her hard in the stomach, knocking the wind out of her.
ÂÂ
He sneered and brandished his blade, scraping her cheek with the sharp edge.
ÂÂ
“Try that again, bitch, and I’ll hack of your tits and feed them to you.â€Â
ÂÂ
Mary gasped and struggled for breath as he tied her securely, spread-eagled to iron rings set into the legs at each side of the table. He tugged at the ropes and grunted with satisfaction. His knees popped loudly as he straightened.
ÂÂ
“Almost done.†He stabbed the tip of the knife into the table next to her. “Remember – you fuck with me now, and I’ll hurt you, bad. Understand me?â€Â
ÂÂ
Mary managed to nod, terrified. He took a key ring from his belt then rolled her halfway over and unlocked the handcuffs. The officer stretched her arms above her head and handcuffed her to another ring at the top of the table.
ÂÂ
           Then he stood back and smiled, blowing cigarette smoke from the side of his mouth. He ran his finger over her face, down her belly. He yanked the knife out of the table and walked over to a rack of tools mounted on the wall.
ÂÂ
           “So pretty,†he whispered, sheathing the knife. “So pretty.â€Â
ÂÂ
           He took something from the rack. Mary strained her neck to see, but his broad back blocked her view. Then he flicked his wrist, and the long, supple, barbed tails of a whip slithered in the dirt. He turned to her, raising his arm above his head, and brought it down hard, snapping the whip and raking bloody furrows across her abdomen.
ÂÂ
           Mary shrieked into the gag, her back arching and her body writhing with the sudden, overwhelming pain.
ÂÂ
He came back to her and stood between her open legs. He took the knife in hand again, and Mary squeezed her eyes shut and panted as he cut her dress open from the hem of her skirt up past her breasts. The officer gasped with pleasure at her bare flesh, and licked his lips. He ran his hands slowly over her prone body, squeezing and probing.
ÂÂ
His leather gloves were rough against her soft skin. She cried and whimpered when he prodded at the gashes in her belly.
ÂÂ
           “So pretty. Now, let’s see those big, old bitch titties...â€Â
ÂÂ
           He flicked away the cigarette butt and cut through the thin band between the cups of her bra. He gently lay open the soft, lacy material, bent over her and bit her left nipple hard, making her cry out. He moved from one nipple to the other, squeezing her breasts, biting and chewing at her soft flesh. Fresh tears ran down her dirt-streaked face.
           He unbuttoned the uniform shirt, threw it onto another table, then unbuckled his belt and dropped his pants around his feet. His massive cock stood out from his hairless body, huge and throbbing. It had the same, tiny circles of scars that circled his chest and legs, covering the rest of his body. It looked somehow diseased; deformed and mangled like a gnarled tree limb.
ÂÂ
Mary whimpered as the knife ripped into her panties. He cut them off and threw them over her face, rubbed the inside of her thighs with the cold, sharp steel of his knife.
ÂÂ
“You like my knife, don’t you bitch? Can’t take your eyes off it.†He scraped the edge through her soft thatch of pubic hair. “How’d you like me to fuck you with it? Think that’d be nice, if I jab it into that pretty coo of yours?â€Â
ÂÂ
He poked the tip into her cunt. Mary screamed and jerked in her bonds until she was breathless, but he just laughed and stabbed the knife tip-first into the table. Then he bent and began lapping at her cunt, licking her pussy like a thirsty dog.
ÂÂ
“Mmmm.†He stood and smacked his lips. “Tasty.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Mary cried when he pressed the tip of his mammoth shaft into her sopping cunt. He roughly shoved himself inside her with a few hard strokes and fucked her, ignoring her screams. She rocked her body and jerked up and down; trying to dislodge him, but her efforts only excited him more.
ÂÂ
           “Mmm…†He moaned with pleasure and wrapped his huge hands around her neck. He squeezed until Mary’s vision blurred and he climaxed violently inside her.
ÂÂ
           The officer twitched once, twice, and then collapsed on top of her, letting his cock shrivel up in her pussy. After some time, he stirred from his stupor, and his hand found the smooth leather grip of his whip.
ÂÂ
           Time for more fun, he thought, pushing away from her.
ÂÂ
He cracked the whip and dragged the spiked tails over Mary’s chest, tearing her soft, milky skin, leaving more bloody gashes. She screamed her throat raw as he whipped her again and again. He grinned as her pussy muscles clamped around his cock, kneading him hard.
ÂÂ
           “So, so pretty.†He whispered. “I just wish we had more time together.â€Â
ÂÂ
           She bounced and squirmed underneath him, exciting him. His cock was throbbing inside her again. He bent and licked at her bloody cuts.
           As the moon set, Mary’s screams faded to hoarse whispers, and eventually, as the morning sun appeared, finally stopped altogether.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
           Jessica and April cut out of school early, skipping their last period class, and took the bus to the mall. Their new, eight-grade motto was simple: why sit and listen to stupid, boring teachers with a bunch of zit-faced dorks, when you can hang out at the food court at the mall with the cool high-school kids?
ÂÂ
           No contest. The mall won that battle hands down. They’d forge themselves excuse notes later; now it was time to split. They left most of their homework at school too; instead of heavy books and folders tucked into their backpacks, the girls carried the so-uncool clothes they were wearing when they left their houses that morning.
ÂÂ
           Now they were both dressed in cute half-shirts to better show off their matching new belly button rings. April wore a sexy black mini-skirt that showed off her round little ass, high heels, and a lime-green t-shirt torn away at the sleeves and the neck. She had to keep pulling an errant bra strap back up her shoulder as they walked. Jessica was wearing a pair of faded hip-hugger jeans that were getting nice and worn out in the butt, a pair of fuck-me high heels that would’ve given her repressed, born-again mother fits, and a tight pink t-shirt with a slogan nice girls do it doggy-style splashed across her heavy, round breasts.
ÂÂ
           Puberty came big-time for them both this year. Jessica especially – her boobs specifically. They were huge, and she knew she was the hot thing in school right now. She liked how the boys at school turned pink when they stared at her tits, trying to read her shirts. She had a whole drawer full of them hidden at home.
ÂÂ
Her mom hated how she dressed, but what the fuck? She was an old prude anyway. April’s mom, too. That’s why they had to leave the house in their stupid nice-girl clothes, and change in the bathroom at the mini-mart every day before going to school.
ÂÂ
           They got to the mall and hopped off the bus around three that afternoon, dodging around a cop car parked next to the bus stop. They wandered around, but there was hardly anybody there yet, so they decided to shop for a little while and go back later. They spent some time wandering from store to store, giggling at the old people before sneaking into the lingerie shop.
ÂÂ
           That’s about when April noticed the guy in the brown uniform. He looked like a security guy or something, and he was following them. She pointed him out to Jessica as they walked into the shop.
ÂÂ
“Look!†She pointed, then turned quickly away. “Jesus! He’s coming in here!â€Â
ÂÂ
“Omigawd!†Jessica laughed. “Shh! Here her comes!â€Â
ÂÂ
April giggled and grabbed a tiny, lacy black bra off a rack and turned to the guy, batting her eyes up into his mirrored sunglasses.
ÂÂ
           “Hey, mister!†She teased, modeling for him. “How d’you think I’d look in this? Cute, huh?â€Â
ÂÂ
           The guy never even cracked a smile. He just stared. So weird, April thought. She pursed her lips and stuck out her chest, gave him her best pouty look and tried again.
ÂÂ
           “Wouldn’t you like to see me in it?â€Â
ÂÂ
He stayed quiet, but reached over and gave the bra a little tweak, spreading the gauzy material out with his huge fingers. His scarred knuckles lightly brushed April’s nipple, and a little, electric thrill shot through her body.
ÂÂ
“How old are you girls?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Sixteen.†April lied. She smacked her gum and did a little twirl for him, giving him a quick glimpse of smooth, tan thighs and white panties. “So, what do you think?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Sixteen? Well, then. Hmm. I don’t know. Let’s see…â€Â
ÂÂ
He looked down at her tits, then back into her eyes. April’s whole body started to tingle. Jessica bounced from one foot to another as they stared each other down. Finally, he grinned at them both.
ÂÂ
“Well, yeah. I guess I would.â€Â
ÂÂ
Their mouths dropped open. April felt the tingle spread down between her legs, and suddenly she needed to pee. A pretty blond saleswoman walked over from another corner of the store and asked if she could help. The guy stared at the saleswoman, down at the gold nametag pinned to her jacket, then back at the girls.
ÂÂ
“Well.†He grinned at April like they were old friends. “Are you going to pay for that?â€Â
ÂÂ
           April chewed her gum nervously, shot a confused look at Jessica.
ÂÂ
           “Uh, I was just kidding around. I don’t have any money.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Oh.†He turned back to the saleswoman. “Miss? Um...Cindy?â€Â
ÂÂ
           Cindy smiled uncertainly, wondering what the hell was going on here, wondering if the big cop had caught a pair of shoplifters for her.
ÂÂ
“Yes?†She raised her eyebrows expectantly.
ÂÂ
           The man took a brown leather wallet from his back pocket, flipped it open and shuffled through a thick ream of bills with his gloved fingers. He handed her six or seven crisp hundred dollar bills.
ÂÂ
“This should cover whatever my…daughters want. If you could help them while I finish my shopping?â€Â
ÂÂ
           The clerk raised her eyebrows even higher, but took the cash. “Uh, sure. Okay. Is there anything else I can help you with…?†She drifted off.
ÂÂ
           “No. Thanks.†He looked at April and Jessica, who stared back at him, totally confused. “Get anything you want girls. I’ll see you later.â€Â
ÂÂ
           He spun on his heel and clomped out of the store. They all watched him leave.
ÂÂ
           “Well.†Cindy crossed one arm under her breasts, fanning herself with the money. “What tickles your fancy today, ladies?â€Â
ÂÂ
           April stared at Jessica.
ÂÂ
           “Oh, shit! He was serious!â€Â
ÂÂ
           They both broke into huge grins, and for the rest of the afternoon, hot, sexy panties and lacy push-up bra’s flew off the racks. By the time the mall closed at six, the girls were weighted down with shopping bags full of sexy new undies, stockings, body sprays and whatnot. Cindy smiled as she finally ushered them out of the store, more than half-an-hour after she normally locked up, and told them thanks and asked them to come again.
ÂÂ
The girls waved and took the escalator down to their exit. They pushed through the doors and stepped into the parking structure, chatting happily about their crazy benefactor as they walked towards the street.
ÂÂ
Jessica tossed her hair back over her shoulder. “I can’t believe you were flirting with him!â€Â
ÂÂ
“I was not!â€Â
ÂÂ
“Ye-ah! You were!â€Â
ÂÂ
April looked hurt, then grinned and told Jessica about the guy touching her boob.
ÂÂ
“No way!†Jessica collapsed in giggles. “Really? He touched you? On purpose?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Yeah.†April shrugged. “I dunno. But it felt kinda…nice. I mean…â€Â
ÂÂ
“Wow. April, that’s sick. He was so old.â€Â
ÂÂ
“He was not old.â€Â
ÂÂ
“He must’a been at least thirty.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Uh-uh! Shit, Jess…â€Â
ÂÂ
“I mean, he was wearing those dumb sunglasses, and that big, dopey hat, too, an’…â€Â
ÂÂ
           The parking lot was deserted, quiet except for their conversation, so when the car pulled up and honked, both the girls jumped. Driving just behind them, the security guy had his window open and was leaning out, waving. The girls smiled and walked over.
           “Thanks for the stuff!†Jessica held up her bags. “Really. You didn’t have’ta do that. I mean…â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Not a problem.†He shrugged. “Where are you girls off to?â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Home.†April nodded at the exit. “We gotta catch the bus back.â€Â
           The girls looked at each other. Jessica was feeling uneasy. “Hey, I don’t know. We can take the bus...â€Â
ÂÂ
           “It’s no problem. I can get you home so you can try all those dainties on even sooner. Where do you live?â€Â
           “Yeah. Well. I guess.†April adjusted her bags. “You sure? I mean...â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Yeah, of course. Here...Give me some of those...†The man opened his door and stepped out. He opened the door to the backseat and took their bags. “In you go. We’ll get you home in a jiffy. You ever ride in a cop car before?â€Â
ÂÂ
           “No.†they said together, then giggled.
ÂÂ
           April looked at Jessica, then at the cop, and jumped in, making a show of wiggling her ass as she crawled over the hard plastic seats. Jessica watched him watch her friend. April’s skirt was so short it crawled up over her butt, and Jessica was sure he was staring at her panties. She followed more slowly, while the officer stowed their bags in his trunk. He slammed the door after she was inside, and the car lurched to one side as he plopped back into the driver’s seat.
ÂÂ
           “So, you’re a cop?†Jessica asked, running her hand over the bullet-proof partition separating the front seat from the back seat. “We thought you were maybe like a security guy for the mall.†The back of the car was nasty dirty, and stank. She wondered what the smell was. It seemed to be getting worse.
ÂÂ
The glass muffled his reply. A hissing sound came from the air vents. Next to Jessica, April groaned and coughed, then slumped over. Her forehead smacked into the window, and she tipped over into Jessica’s lap.
ÂÂ
           “Mister?†Jessica pounded on the glass. â€ÂHey! Mister! Hey!â€Â
ÂÂ
           The smell was getting worse. Jessica’s eyes began to blur and run, and her chest felt suddenly tight, like she was having trouble breathing. Terrified now, Jessica tried to roll down the window, but there were no handles. She groped at the door, but there was no way to open it from the inside. She felt her stomach clench, like she was going to throw up, and then she fainted.
ÂÂ
           “Sleep tight, girls.†The man casually turned to look at his newest prizes. Their unconscious forms reflected in his sunglasses. “We’ll be home in a bit. I just have one other person to wait for.â€Â
ÂÂ
           The officer parked the car behind a concrete pillar and let it idle. He used an old wool blanket from the trunk to cover the girl’s limp bodies. Then he sat back down and tapped a cigarette out of his pack and smoked, blowing out the open window. He rolled the cigarette around in his mouth, chewing the filter and letting the ash fall on his chest.
ÂÂ
He let his thoughts drift back to the real reason he was here…
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
           He was buying cigarettes and some sandwiches at an Asian-owned market in Hood River. He was just drifting around, waiting for the next hunt, when the pretty little blonde entered the store with her friends. He knew they were city kids from their clothes, seven friends going out into the woods for a week, camping.
ÂÂ
They were obnoxious, so he paid quickly and left the store. He almost left to hunt elsewhere, but something about the one girl, the blonde…
ÂÂ
The officer decided to wait for a bit and test the waters, see what they might bring him. He could be patient. He sat in his cruiser with the windows rolled down, letting the breeze blow through, smoking a cigarette and sweating under his hot uniform.
ÂÂ
When the kids finally piled into a beat up VW van, he followed them to their campground; a nice, secluded spot up in the cascades by a small creek. He parked the cruiser under some overgrowth on an old logging road about half a mile upstream, and hiked back down through the woods with a knapsack containing his food and cigarettes slung over his shoulder. He had a large bottle of water in the bag too, and high-powered pair of night-vision binoculars strapped to his weapon belt.
ÂÂ
           When he came to a small, dry embankment, he hunkered down, concealed in the thick woods across the creek from the campsite. He watched the kids unpack and set up their camp. They built a large fire-pit and ringed it with stones and then plastic lounge chairs; they set up three small nylon tents; and with the camp complete, changed into swimsuits and went for a dip in the creek.
ÂÂ
           Dumb city kids, he mused. Shouldn’t set the rocks around the fire. With all the rain lately, they could explode if they get too hot.
ÂÂ
One of the boys climbed up the small embankment on their side of the creek and shouted to his friends – he found an old swing rope strung from the thick branches of an old-growth tree, and they quickly began taking turns swinging far out over the creek and splashing in.
ÂÂ
The officer watched the kids play in the water, laughing and joking with each other until dusk, his attention completely absorbed with the blonde in her bikini. It was all he could do not to unzip his trousers and satisfy himself right on the spot.
ÂÂ
           There were three boys and four girls, he noted. Only one pair actually seemed to be a couple, and they had a tent to themselves. The others split up, boys in one tent and the girls in another. The blonde didn’t seem particularly involved with any of the boys.
ÂÂ
He liked that.
ÂÂ
           The other girls were attractive enough. But the blonde…
ÂÂ
           Well. She could keep him warm on a cold night.
ÂÂ
           A cool breeze sent shivers through the wet kids, and the girls ran back to the tents to dry off and change. He watched the blonde’s titties bounce as she ran, letting himself fantasize; imagining her tied down underneath him, unable to move, tearing off the damp bikini and clamping his teeth around her cold-hard nipples, biting and chewing on the rubbery nubs of flesh, listening to her strangled cries and stroking himself until he was ready to take her…
ÂÂ
           He shivered happily. Below, one of the boys had started a campfire, and they were all relaxing in the lounge-chairs, pulling food and beer out of plastic coolers. He ate with them, sipping warm bottled water instead of the beer the kids were drinking. They laughed and joked while they ate.
ÂÂ
The girls were already drunk by the time one of the boys lit the first joint and began strumming an old acoustic guitar. The moon was high in the night sky now, and the officer glanced at his watch. It was after nine o’clock, and he had an idea.
ÂÂ
He packed up his things and hiked back through the woods. He found his cruiser where he left it and drove slowly back with his lights off. The kids were so wasted they barely noticed him pull in behind their old van, until he flashed his spotlight on and pointed it directly at the campfire, lighting their surprised faces with its glare.
ÂÂ
After that, it was a simple matter to roust them.
ÂÂ
He wrote tickets for underage drinking, confiscated the booze, burned the pot and threatened them all with arrest for possession. He left them freaked out and packing to go home. He followed them all the way to Portland, checking the addresses he’d jotted down as each person was dropped off. The blonde was number two.
ÂÂ
The van door slid open, and they left her standing with her sleeping bag at the foot of a driveway that led to a cozy two-story bungalow, across the street from a school and a playground.
ÂÂ
She was awkwardly unlocking the front door when he eased the cruiser by. The van turned right at the corner ahead of him, and he whistled along with a tune on the radio as he noted the rest of the stops.
ÂÂ
He drove back to the blonde’s house and parked by the playground. He spent the next couple of days waiting and watching, discovering where she worked, what her habits were, who her friends were. Her family. He tapped the phone line and listened to her conversations, watching her at night through her bedroom window.
ÂÂ
Enjoying the hunt.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
After he’d followed her to work that morning, he knew she’d been sent to him as a gift. He knew she worked in the mall, and had spent the better part of two days casing the building: checking security, how it was monitored, where the blind spots were.
ÂÂ
Pathetic, he decided.
ÂÂ
A rabid pit bull loose in the mall would’ve made a better guard than the pathetic security staff that seemed to consist of a few zit-faced college kids, paunchy ex-football jocks and a one-armed, toothless geriatric who could barely walk. He was more worried about the janitorial crew, who were everywhere – scattered throughout the building with their brooms and trashcans. They were always underfoot and paid more attention to their surroundings than the strutting idiots with the fake badges.
ÂÂ
After watching the guards and the janitors for an afternoon, he was relatively familiar with their routines, their patterns. They were easy to avoid. He especially liked the parking structure. Despite warnings posted throughout the building regarding ‘video surveillance’, the only real, working cameras were located at the entries and the exits.
ÂÂ
It was a simple task to disarm them without being noticed. He laughed when the old security guy came to check, spoke into his walkie-talkie for a few minutes, finally shrugged, and left. The camera stayed broken.
ÂÂ
Now, he thought. Time for the prize.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
She liked to park between levels, usually next to a large concrete support pillar, where there were fewer cars. It was a perfect place to take her.
ÂÂ
He tailed her for the fifteen minutes it took her to drive to the mall, and all the way to her usual parking spot. She never noticed. He was going to make one, final walk-through, when he noticed the two giggling teenage girls making their way straight to the lingerie shop where the blonde worked.
ÂÂ
Three for the price of one?
ÂÂ
The man broke into a confident smile and followed the girls in. Now he had them too, and he was calm, content to wait until he spotted the pretty blonde salesgirl.
ÂÂ
Cindy. A sweet name.
ÂÂ
She emerged from the same doors the girls had used, just a few moments later. She was digging around in her purse, heading towards a bright yellow convertible. He started the car and drove over to her, parked and as he got out, grabbed the chloroform soaked rag from the seat next to him.
ÂÂ
           “Hey. Miss? Excuse me?†He held the rag low and stepped close to her. “Cindy?â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Oh!†The girl looked up, startled, but relaxed when she recognized him. “Oh. It’s you. I’m sorry, but you scared me.â€Â
           “Mmn.†She nodded. “Where are your girls?†she asked absently, hunting again for her car keys.
ÂÂ
           “Asleep in the back of the car. Long day.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Oh? I guess it is getting kind of late, huh?â€Â
ÂÂ
Cindy smiled nervously at the big man, who was just standing there, staring down at her tits with a crazy little smile on his face. She was used to guys doing that while she was at work. It was part of her job; during training, her manager made a point to inform her that her body and the way she looked was a big part of why she got the job, and that she could and should use it to her advantage with the gentlemen who came in to shop.
ÂÂ
But this guy…
ÂÂ
Even if he was a cop, he was creeping her out.
ÂÂ
“Well.†She stammered. “I should go...â€Â
ÂÂ
           Cindy beeped the lock on her car and opened the door, tossed her bag into the front seat. She had one long, slim leg in the car when the officer clamped the dirty rag over her face.
ÂÂ
He calmly counted to ten while she struggled in his arms, then twenty.
ÂÂ
           The girl went limp, unconscious before he got to thirty. He picked her up easily and threw her into his trunk. Then, whistling, he grabbed her purse and her keys, locked up her car, and tossed everything onto the floor of his vehicle.
ÂÂ
The officer glanced at his watch as he pulled out of the parking lot. He had a long drive. The moon would be up soon, but there should still be plenty of time tonight to play with his new toys before the offering.
ÂÂ
He signaled and turned onto a freeway on-ramp, merged with traffic. He gunned the motor, flashed his lights and grinned as the other motorists speeding by him suddenly slowed down to a crawl.
ÂÂ
Yet another benefit of this damn uniform.
ÂÂ
He was already excited, aroused just from holding the girl for a moment, smelling her perfume when he dumped her in the trunk.
ÂÂ
He could hardly wait to get home.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
           Jessica woke out of a deep sleep.
ÂÂ
Something was tugging at her, pulling at her insistently. She tried say, Stop! Knock it off and go away! But she couldn’t speak.
ÂÂ
She blinked open her crusted eyelids.
ÂÂ
The officer smiled down at her, whistling happily as he cut off her pants with a knife. Jessica could see herself, reflected in his sunglasses, tied spread-eagled to an old picnic table. Her arms were stretched tight over her head, her hands and feet bound to heavy iron rings with a thick, rough rope that dug cruelly into her soft flesh.
ÂÂ
           The man pulled Jessica’s panties away from her crotch and shoved his thick, gloved fingers into her tight, virgin snatch.  She jerked wildly while he brutally finger-fucked her, but her screams were muffled by a pair of wadded up panties stuffed into her mouth. A bra was wrapped around her head, holding the makeshift gag in place.
ÂÂ
           “You like that, you little bitch? Don’t you, you little fucking cock-tease?â€Â
ÂÂ
He pulled his fingers out and showed them to her. They were slick and bloody. He licked them clean and tore open her t-shirt.
ÂÂ
“You think you’re so pretty, don’t you? You like to tease the boys? Show off your body, you little whore?â€Â
ÂÂ
He shoved his thumb deep into her sore pussy and pushed his fingertips into her tight little asshole while he squeezed her tits with his other hand.
ÂÂ
“Now let’s see those nice big tits.â€Â
ÂÂ
           He tugged her bra down until it stuck under her breasts. Jessica squeezed her eyes shut, gasping with pain as he violated her, the rough leather of his gloved fingers scraping her tender insides raw. He bit her nipple hard, drawing blood. Jessica cried as he sucked and chewed on her tit.
ÂÂ
           She cried out again in pain. And then he just stopped.
ÂÂ
           He was standing over her, breathing hard. He wiped the back of his hand across his mouth, smearing his lips with her blood, then backed up and unbuckled his gunbelt. He tossed it onto a picnic table covered with S&M sex toys, and then he unbuttoned his pants, pulled them off, and tossed them onto the table too.
ÂÂ
           “There, bitch.†He grated through clenched teeth. “Look at me.â€Â
ÂÂ
He wasn’t wearing underwear, and he just stood there in his boots and uniform shirt, staring at her. After a moment, he began stroking himself hard, until his cock stuck straight out from his hairless crotch, pointing right at her.
ÂÂ
“Look at it! You see how it wants you…?â€Â
ÂÂ
His cock was huge and ugly, scarred like the rest of his flesh: tribal, ritualistic swirls and patterns ripped into his skin, reminding Jessica of the tattoos the kids in school were crazy for. His obscene manhood stuck straight out at her, throbbing. It seemed to move with a life of its own, blindly hunting her, radiating heat and brutality.
ÂÂ
Jessica couldn’t take her eyes off it.
ÂÂ
The officer roughly slapped her oozing pussy and pinched her bloody nipple, pulling her tit up into the air. He let go and grinned as it bounced back and pooled on her chest, wiggling.
ÂÂ
           “There, there,†he mumbled. “That’s enough for now. Not all at once. I’ve got other toys to play with. Can’t forget them, now can I?â€Â
ÂÂ
           Jessica watched him move to the next table. April was lashed to it doggie-style, with her arms and feet roped to the table legs and her ass pointed up in the air. The officer had looped a black leather belt around her neck, keeping her face level with the edge of the table.
ÂÂ
April stared at Jessica, wild-eyed with fright.
ÂÂ
The officer had stripped April of her t-shirt, and dressed her in the little black bra that she’d teased him about at the lingerie store. A silvery metal ring was wedged into her mouth, locking it open in a wide ‘O’. April shook her head frantically he approached and strained to look up, silently pleading to him with her big, tear-streaked brown eyes as the officer grabbed her roughly by the ears. He jerked her head into position, so his cock was right in line with her gaping mouth, and shoved it in.
ÂÂ
“Ahhhhh…so nice…â€Â
ÂÂ
He stayed still for a minute, holding her head in place, letting her gag and snort and spit around his cock. Thick ropes of snot and vomit spewed from her nose as April’s stomach heaved. She jerked and wiggled as he fucked her face. He closed his eyes and pumped his thick shaft deep into her throat until his balls slapped against her chin. The muscles in April’s slim neck bulged with each thrust, and her eyes rolled back into her skull. Jessica watched the man sodomize her friend with a sick fascination.
ÂÂ
“This’ll teach you, you little bitch…†He muttered, and back-handed April hard across the face. “I’ll cut those perky little tits right off and cum in your ass…â€Â
ÂÂ
Jessica closed her eyes and turned her head as far away as she could, but she couldn’t blot out the awful smacking sounds of his heavy hand against April’s flesh, or her soft cries.
ÂÂ
OhmyGod, she realized. I’m gonna be next. He’s gonna do this to me, too.
ÂÂ
In a sudden spasm of fear, Jessica pulled and pulled at the rope binding her wrists and ankles, until a new set of groans joined with April’s. Cindy was waking up.
ÂÂ
The officer had Cindy hand-cuffed standing up. She was gagged like Jessica, and fully dressed except for her suit jacket. She was bound so that she was leaning up against the wall of the overhang, with her arms locked to a rusty iron ring mounted high over her head. Her legs were spread wide apart, and her ankles were tied to heavy, metal tent pegs pounded deep into the hard soil underfoot. She was limp now, hanging in her bonds.
ÂÂ
“Well, well. About time you joined the party.â€Â
ÂÂ
The officer pulled out of April’s mouth with a wet pop. He walked over to the junk-covered picnic table and whistled until he found his whip.
ÂÂ
“Ahh. There you are…â€Â
ÂÂ
He cracked the whip at Cindy, the spiked leather flicking through the air by her face. Cindy cringed as one of the spikes ripped a shallow furrow through her cheek. The officer wedged his hips between April’s legs and cracked the whip again, tearing bloody gashes through Cindy’s white silk blouse.
ÂÂ
Cindy screamed with each lash. She jerked and swung from the ropes, her eyes shut tight, oozing blood from her torn flesh and panting for breath. The officer laughed cruelly at her pain and put the whip down. He bent over and spread April’s butt-cheeks open with his hands.
ÂÂ
“Mm-mm good,†he grunted, and shoved his tongue into her asshole.
ÂÂ
April screamed again and all the muscles in her body clenched while he ate her out. Cindy cowered against the wall, still groggy from the drugs and the pain from her flogging, not yet coherent, not fully understanding what was happening.
ÂÂ
Jessica kept her eyes shut tight, praying she was dreaming.
ÂÂ
“Fuck that little pussy…†The officer shoved the whips’ leather handle into April’s cunt. April’s eyes bugged wide and she jerked and wiggled while he reamed her out and fucked her with the whip. Her heart-rending cries filled the air.
ÂÂ
“Mm.†He came away smacking his lips. He left the whip lodged in her bleeding pussy. “So tasty. Let’s see what else looks like fun… â€Â
ÂÂ
The officer stood and picked up a wooden paddle from the junk table. He began spanking April, who cried out incoherently with each smack of the paddle. He knotted his hand in her hair and spanked her until April’s ass was a deep, glowing red, then he threw the paddle away.
He ripped the whip out of April’s bloody pussy and grabbed his swollen, purple cock. He rubbed the scarred tip over her ass and down to her pussy. April screamed again as he rammed it into her. He bent over her back and grabbed her tits, thrusting savagely.
ÂÂ
“Oh, shit, bitch. You’re so sweet and tight.â€Â
ÂÂ
He bit her shoulder as he buried himself in her cunt.
ÂÂ
“Uhh…you’re so tight…am I your first fuck? A little tease like you couldn’t be a virgin, could you?â€Â
ÂÂ
He ran his gloved hand down the soft skin of her belly and spread her pussy lips further open with his fingers. He scratched them up and down her clit, making her jerk her hips, trying to hide her sensitive little nub from his touch. Her exhertions just managed to excite him even more.
ÂÂ
“You like that, don’t you bitch? Oh yeah…â€Â
ÂÂ
April hung her head and cried while he took her. He whispered in her ear.
ÂÂ
 “Maybe I’ll keep you and your little friend. Knock you up. Make you my breeder-bitches. What do you think? Huh?â€Â
ÂÂ
The officer rested his weight on April’s back and bit her ear, chewed her neck. He drooled in her thick brown hair and pinched her nipples until she whimpered pathetically, kneading her breasts through the lace of the bra.
ÂÂ
He came suddenly, grunting like an animal.
ÂÂ
Thick white cum oozed out of April’s torn cunt and dribbled down the inside of her smooth, tan thighs. The man collapsed onto her back and wrapped her tightly in his huge arms, hammering his cock into her one last time, enjoying himself, letting April’s fear and shame intensify his orgasm.
ÂÂ
He shuddered, and rested on the trembling, weeping girl, letting her body carry his full weight.
ÂÂ
Jessica waited until the man seemed to doze off, then she doubled her efforts, tugging fiercely at her bonds until the rope was slick with sweat and blood. The rope around her left wrist seemed to be looser now. She focused all of her attention there, gritting her teeth and pulling, biting her lips bloody.
ÂÂ
Then the officer pushed himself off April.
ÂÂ
Jessica lay still as he took his whip in hand. His cock dangled halfway down his muscled thigh now, flaccid, slimy with blood and cum from April’s snatch.
ÂÂ
He unbuttoned his shirt and tossed it casually on the table, then stood behind Cindy with his legs braced, now completely naked. He cracked the whip and brought it down hard, raking the spikes over Cindy’s poor, unprotected back. He whipped her again and again, until his barrel chest was heaving and he was dripping sweat. When he finally stopped, his cock was rock hard.
ÂÂ
Jessica watched him toss the whip to the ground and take his hunting knife from the table. Cindy hung limply in her handcuffs, covered in blood and sweat, exhausted.
ÂÂ
The officer stroked himself with the blade, then cut a slit up Cindy’s skirt and tore it up the back, exposing her panties and a lacy black garter belt and stockings. The knife gleamed in his fist.
ÂÂ
“Let’s see what else you’ve got for me, bitch.â€Â
ÂÂ
He cut away her panties, and Cindy didn’t fight him as he levered his hips under hers, and shoved the tip of his cock into her ass. She just groaned pitifully and her head rolled loosely on his shoulder. He worked his dick further into her, then ripped open her blouse and cut the elastic strip between the cups of her bra, exposing her tits.
ÂÂ
“Fuck…I knew you’d be beautiful. I told them you would be…â€Â
ÂÂ
He ran the edge of his blade over her belly, pricked the tips of her nipples with its point, and then ran it lightly back down, scraping it over her trimmed blonde bush. Cindy shivered and the blood from her cuts smeared over his sweating, naked chest. Her head drooped, rolling away from his shoulder, and bobbed in time to his thrusts.
ÂÂ
“No, no. Not like that.†He pressed the knife to her neck, used the flat of the blade to tip her head back again. “I liked it like this…â€Â
ÂÂ
Jessica ignored them, squirming, twisting until her left hand popped free. April stared at Jessica with a look of desperate hope in her eyes as she worked at the knots tying her other wrist.
ÂÂ
Once Jessica had both hands free, she tried to rub the feeling back into her fingers, and glanced quickly over at the man raping the poor salesgirl.
ÂÂ
His face was buried in Cindy’s thick hair and he was fucking her ass brutally, grunting like an animal in heat, oblivious to everything else around him. Jessica carefully sat up and went to work on the ropes around her ankles as April darted little scared looks back and forth.
ÂÂ
First one set of knots parted under Jessica’s trembling fingers, then another and another.
ÂÂ
And suddenly, she was free.
ÂÂ
She slid off the table and tried to reach April, but the movement caught the man’s attention. He turned on them, taking everything in with a glance. April squealed in terror. Jessica hesitated for a moment, not wanting to leave her friend, but his face twisted with fury, and he pushed Cindy’s limp body away from him. She swung loosely as he twisted the knife in his grip and advanced towards Jessica.
ÂÂ
Jessica squealed and bolted into the woods. He roared senselessly and threw himself after her, crashing through the trees, both of them quickly lost in the darkness.
ÂÂ
In a moment, the camp was quiet, except for the soft cries of two terrified girls.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
           The woods were lit only in spots by the full moon shining down through the treetops. Jessica ran and stumbled, righted herself and then ran some more, always away from the sound of the heavy body crashing through the brush right behind her.
ÂÂ
           Sobs wracked her chest, sharp twigs and stones bloodied her bare feet. Jessica fell against the stump of an old tree, gasping. The sounds of pursuit seemed to come from her right; so she set off to her left and ran until the sounds seemed to swerve to her right. She adjusted her path, and fled again, further into the darkness.
ÂÂ
           “Please leave me alone…†She panted. “Please. God, please…â€Â
ÂÂ
           The ground under her feet was getting softer, muddy, making it harder for her to run. Jessica broke out of the cover of the forest onto a shoreline seconds later, stumbling into a decrepit wooden dock. The sounds of pursuit were fading away behind her. Jessica braced herself and took her bearings.
ÂÂ
A moonlit lake stretched back into the darkness. And suddenly, as if from far away, Jessica heard singing. It was a soft, gentle voice, and feminine. It drew her east, down the shore, like a moth to flame, until the ground underfoot became solid, littered with stones. She moved as if in a trance, her steps leaden, halting.
ÂÂ
Just ahead, perched naked on a rocky outcrop, naked and unafraid, was the most beautiful woman she’d ever seen. Jessica stopped and blinked, unbelieving.
ÂÂ
The woman smiled gently at Jessica and continued singing with a sweet, lovely voice, a voice that seemed to soothe all her fears. She beckoned Jessica closer, but Jessica hesitated, her body trembling from fear and exertion. The woman slipped gracefully from the rock and stood tall, holding out her arms like a mother welcoming her daughter into a loving embrace.
ÂÂ
“Come to me, my child.†She whispered without speaking, and the words were like warm, sweet honey to Jessica’s mind. “Do not be afraid.â€Â
ÂÂ
The world around Jessica spun and narrowed. Somehow, she knew it was alright, that the woman would take away her pain, make her safe.
ÂÂ
“Come…†breathed the sing-song chant. “Come to me…â€Â
ÂÂ
Jessica stepped closer, and the woman took her into her strong arms, wrapping them tightly around her, pulling her close. Her full bosom was soft and inviting, and she smelled of the woods at night.
ÂÂ
Jessica smiled and closed her eyes, letting her body melt into the woman’s arms.
ÂÂ
Standing in the shadows at the edge of the woods, the man watched, smiling with anticipation. The silver knife gleamed in his hand, and his skin was black with blood and sweat. The echoes of the song died, whispering in his ears, and the pale scars on his body began to burn blood red.
ÂÂ
“A sweet gift…â€Â
ÂÂ
The lethargy that had stolen her will suddenly left Jessica, leaving her senses clear. She stared around her in confusion.
ÂÂ
And the woman changed.
ÂÂ
Her warm, soft arms withered and the flesh blackened and fell away. The sweet face twisted and melted into a craggy, featureless mass of gnashing fangs, and the foul stench of rotting flesh hovered thick in the air.
ÂÂ
“Take her my sweet…â€Â
ÂÂ
Jessica screamed as the woman’s fingers clawed into her back, her putrid breath hot on her face. She sniffed at the air, like a starving animal smelling out prey.
ÂÂ
“It is her time…you must be swift…â€Â
ÂÂ
The man stepped out the trees and was behind Jessica with three long strides.
ÂÂ
“N-n-noooo!†She wailed. “P-please don’t…â€Â
ÂÂ
He wrapped a strong hand over her forehead and brutally snapped her head back. He kicked her legs wide open and wrapped his other arm around her belly, forcing her ass against his crotch. Jessica felt the deformed head of his cock, hot and pulsing, digging at the soft skin, searching for her pussy. She screamed again as he found her and pushed inside, tearing apart her hymen.
ÂÂ
“Yessss…†The thing hissed.
ÂÂ
He grunted with satisfaction and his scars burned with agonizing fury as he buried himself in the virgin pussy. The woman-thing clawed at Jessica, tearing away great strips of skin as it’s snapping fangs sank deep into the soft, exposed flesh of her neck; feeding on her nourishing life-blood even as he ripped her virginity away.
ÂÂ
Hot blood spurted from Jessica’s mangled throat, gushing out over her heaving chest, covering her breasts and the clawing, scratching thing as it fed. Jessica twitched and kicked fitfully, her face frozen in confused pain. The silvery moon reflected in her pale blue eyes as the life slowly fled her body.
ÂÂ
The man cried out as he climaxed, violently riding her to his peak. He swooned and collapsed to the rocky beach. When he woke the moon was high, and he was alone except for the torn, bloody corpse of a young girl held tightly in his arms. The familiar siren call echoed in the recesses of his mind, persistent, urging.
ÂÂ
Overhead, the moon was a full, blood red: a great, dead thing hanging in the sky like a fat, bloated spider. The woods behind him were quiet, his entire world hushed with anticipation. Far out in the darkness, he heard the first, faint splashing begin in the lake.
ÂÂ
It was time.
ÂÂ
He stood weakly, steam rising from the scars which still glowed hot, as they burned away the girls’ blood, renewing him; giving him strength. He found his knife hidden among the stones scattered on the beach, and began dragging the body towards the dock.
A flickering street sign read PennyWise Market in big, bold white letters set against a faded, blood-red background. The signs twin set precariously above the shop’s doorway. On the walls, drab brown paint peeled out from under the out-of-date cigarette posters haphazardly pasted on the shop-front. Neon beer signs blinked in the windows, their effectiveness dulled by the lattice of iron security bars bolted into place, blotting them out. The mud-and-gravel parking lot was deserted except for one late model Japanese economy car; poorly lit by a couple of badly placed yellow floodlights.

The little market was settled in a nook just off from the old highway. I’d driven by it earlier that afternoon when I blew into town. I’d almost missed the place, badly located around a bend in the road. I barely caught it out of the corner of my eye as I motored past. I was getting low on supplies and cash, so I decided to head back and check it out. It was tiny, packed with the usual convenience store crap; mostly a place for the locals to buy cheap beer and cigarettes, just like they advertised out front.
A cowbell bolted above the door jangled when I walked in. A few rednecks with ratty baseball caps loitered by the old coolers at the back of the store, pulling out six-packs and jawing with each other about their fishing or hunting stories. I had a quick look around. No security system at all, not even an electronic bell at the door. Just a bent-up old cowbell that jingled when someone gave the door a good shove, a round, grubby mirror mounted to the wall, set up to deter kids from making beer runs, and a crappy old alarm box mounted on the wall next to the door.
Only one employee I could see, probably the owner: a crabby, middle-aged Asian guy working the counter.
Easy money, I thought.
Still, I took a couple minutes and walked around, scoping the place. I found a few things I thought I might need later, and bought a box of large plastic zip ties, heavy duty plastic bags and a couple bags of cheap, women’s nylon stockings. Waited in line for the talky local-yokels to buy their beer, and when it was my turn at the register, I counted out a handful of crumpled bills from my pocket, slapped the cash down on the counter, and suddenly felt like splurging. I had the Asian guy throw a pack of generic cigarettes, a big bag of chips and a six-pack of beer in along with my other stuff. After adding dinner, my bill came to a little more than thirty bucks - more than half the roll I had left in my pocket, but that was okay. If everything worked out later tonight, I’d be making that back and then some.
The Asian guy gave me my change and I left. I hopped back into my ride and eased out of the bumpy lot, the van’s trashed shock-absorbers squeaking and groaning all the way. I had to drive another half-mile, to a three-way intersection by an out-of-commission bridge, before I could turn around. I drove right back the way I came and parked next to an abandoned gas station with a weather-beaten for lease sign posted out front, a couple hundred yards down the road from the market, where I could sit and watch the place. I coasted in to the lot and found a good spot to park, just out of sight from the road. I cut the motor and settled in. The building next to me was falling apart; in the same state of disrepair as my van, which blended in perfectly with the rest of the dying town. if a cop happened by, I wouldn’t draw a second glance. I tore open my new pack of cigarettes, lit one, ate some chips, and waited.
Half a pack later, right around sunset, another Jap car pulled into the lot. An attractive, middle-aged Asian woman got out of the car and went into the store. The crabby guy who’d sold me my stuff walked out a few minutes later. He got into the other car that had been sitting all afternoon and left.
I smoked some more, drank some beer to wash down my chips, and watched a semi-regular stream of customers come and go until about eight o’clock, when the flow trickled down to nothing. At ten to twelve, no one had driven by me for more than an hour, and other than the Asian woman, the market was deserted. I figured I wouldn’t have a better chance than right now. It was time to get a move on. I started the beat-up old white loading van, drove back across the street and pulled into the parking lot, stopped and backed up, parked alongside the dumpster just alongside the building I killed the ignition, grabbed my stuff from the passenger seat and shut my door, but kept the van unlocked and dropped my keys into a spare pocket in easy reach. If I needed to get out fast, I didn’t want to have to waste time fumbling around for my car keys.
My boots crunched in the gravel and sucked mud as I stepped onto the curb. I loitered by a broken pay phone, getting another look at the place through the bars on the window.
Not much different from before. Some shoddy, homemade candy and magazine racks. The coolers full of beer and a soda fountain mounted along the back walls. The counter with the cash register at the front left-hand side of the store, every inch of it cluttered with open cartons of cigarettes and lighters, containers full of beef jerky and pickled eggs, lottery tickets and other assorted knick-knacks for the drunken rubes to spend their hard-earned cash on. A small portable television sat on the countertop next to a cordless phone, playing the nightly news.
Other than the whirring of the air-conditioner hung above the doors, everything was nice and quiet, inside and out. No sign of the Asian bitch. I put on my clown mask and eased up to the doors. A worn cardboard sign taped to the window had the store hours handwritten in black marker - open every day, 7 a.m. till Midnight.
I tried the doors. Another handmade sign in black marker was taped to the glass on the inside of the right door: Push hard. The lights inside started to blink off, one by one. It looked like the Asian broad was closing up shop a little bit early.
That suited me just fine.
I pulled on a pair of thin latex gloves and took my knife from my hip-sheath; twelve inches of wicked, gleaming steel. I checked to make sure my gun was in place in my pocket.
I turned to the door. Put my shoulder to it and pushed hard, using a nice, even pressure to avoid making the bell mounted at the top of the door frame from ringing.
The door squeaked open. The television was turned down low. Straight ahead of me was an open doorway leading to a short hallway, with stacks of cardboard boxes crammed waist high up against the walls. A woman’s voice drifted my way, probably from a back room or office. The Asian bitch, I guessed. I couldn’t understand what was being said, but her tone sounded angry. The cowbell clanked as I walked inside, softly, but still audible. I let the door swing shut behind me, then bent at the waist so my head was lower than the top of the racks and hurried to the end of the main aisle. I quickly shuffled to the back aisle and hid behind a rack of porn magazines. I squatted down on my haunches, out of sight.
The angry, jabbering voice got closer and louder - the Asian bitch sounded pissed. I wondered if she was ticked about being here alone so late, and I grinned behind my mask. The lone security mirror was mounted on the wall right behind me, but it was tilted at a bad angle. Whoever had put it up was only interested in seeing the fronts of the beer coolers, not down near the floor where I was hiding. Crouching where I was, I couldn’t be seen from the front of the store, but I had a perfect view of both the counter and the doorway to the back.
In the mirror, I watched the Asian woman pop out from the hallway, clutching a light black sweater around her shoulders. Close up she was older than I’d imagined, but slim and graceful. Her face was not-quite beautiful; elegant, maybe - almost aloof; with full lips, big, almond shaped brown eyes, and a sharp, angular bone structure. She walked right to the front of the store, peering down the tightly packed aisles. Giving the place a cursory once-over while blabbing into the phone pressed against her ear. She stopped by the front doors, looked around a final time and shrugged, maybe perplexed that the bell rang but no one was there. I heard her sigh.
She hooked the phone between chin and shoulder, took a heavy key ring from a sweater pocket and locked the Push Hard door. Then she turned off the television, talking non-stop the entire time. She put the key ring on the counter and walked down the window aisle, turning off the neon beer signs. She spat out a series of rapid-fire bursts in whatever shit language she talked. She sure wasn’t speaking English. Korean maybe.
She was heading right for me.
Shit-fire. If she saw me squatted down here while she was on the phone...
I broke a light sweat under my heavy denim coveralls. Shifted my grip on the knife, braced myself, and squatted even lower, ready to jump. I tried to breathe through my mouth, concentrating on keeping it even and quiet. Condensation beaded the inside of my rubber clown mask, slowly dripped down my face into my eyes. I blinked away the drops of salty, stinging moisture. My heart was pounding, sending a rush of adrenaline coursing through my blood.
The Asian bitch stopped a couple feet away with her back turned to me and clicked off the open sign.
From where I was squatting I could see the outline of her hip, the lacy white slip under the slit running up the back of her knee length skirt. I was close enough that I could’ve reached out and touched her smooth, muscular calves, her flesh-colored nylon stockings. She had strong, athletic legs, like a runner, or a tennis player, maybe. I vaguely remembered all the gooks in high school playing tennis. Or golf, sometimes. Not real sports.
She crossed her arms and stared out at the street, gabbing away. Eventually she got quiet and listened. I heard a man’s voice on the other end of the line, muffled, but yelling more gook shit back at her.
She took it, but I could tell she was pissed by the way she was standing: stiff and ramrod straight, breathing hard, with her thin arms crossed under her breasts, impatiently tapping the heel of her shoes on the edge of the magazine rack, splintering the cheap plywood down at the base.
The conversation came to an abrupt stop. She screamed something into the phone. Clenched her fists and made a frustrated little ‘Ooooh!’ sound.
The guy kept shouting on the other end of the line. She stood still for a second, her thin shoulders scrunched up around her neck, the phone hanging loose in her hand. Finally, she muttered something into the receiver, sounding resigned. I heard the phone beep as she hung up. She just stood there quietly for a minute, shaking with frustration. Then she covered her face with her hand. Her shoulders shook, and I heard her sniffle.
Ooh. Poor, skinny Asian bitch.
. Poor, skinny Asian bitch.
Behind my mask, I grinned. Looked like I stumbled into a little family squabble. And from the looks of things, I was pretty sure now that my sweet little bitch was going to be closing the store all by herself.
I scraped the blade of my knife across my thigh and uncoiled. I was on her in a second. She grunted when I hit her. I wrapped my free arm tight around her waist, pinning her arms down at her sides. I brought my knife blade up and let the sharp steel bite into her slim neck. She gasped in surprise and pain. The phone fell from her limp fingers and crashed to the floor. The cheap black plastic cracked and exploded. Ragged shards flew everywhere.
Our bodies were reflected in the dark glass of the window. I dwarfed her. I was a good foot taller than she was and more than twice her size. In the pale light, the reflection of my white rubber mask looked pale and ghostlike.
Her eyes opened wide with horror and she screamed, loud and clear in the sudden silence. Music to my ears. I pulled her close and just for fun, rubbed my crotch up into her ass, nice and hard. Suddenly, it felt like all the blood rushed out of my head and down to my cock. Feeling a little dizzy, I nuzzled her cheek with my stubbly chin, making her whimper and try to jerk away. I peered down over her shoulder, checked out her rack. Her tits were perky little fuckers, packaged specially for me in a lacy bra under a sheer, white, button down blouse. A little bit on the small side, maybe, but probably a nice firm handful once you got them out into the air.
I licked my lips. She was biting hard on her lower lip, her eyes squeezed shut, frantically shaking her pretty little head from side-to-side. Her whole body was trembling.
"No no no..." she begged. "Prease... S-s-stop... D-d-don’t h-h-hut me...!"
My dick was already throbbing, trying to rip through my coveralls. I took a deep breath. I had to wait, had to keep focused. Keep that shit on ice for later. I didn’t know how long I had to pull the job. We were alone now, but anybody could drive by and fuck things up. I was way too smart for that shit. I wasn’t going to get busted because I took the time to screw this bitch. The golden rule: the job always comes first.
The fun can come later.
I put my lips to her ear and grunted, the mask muffling my voice. "The money, bitch! Now!"
"Nnnooo..." She moaned again. "P-pr-reeasse!"
"Prease?" I mocked.
She sounded so much like somebody from an old Charlie Chan flick that I almost laughed. Instead, I jerked her around and marched her toward the counter. She started crying. Big, fat, wet tears welled up in the corners of her eyes and slowly dripped down her cheeks. She tripped and stumbled. I picked her up with one arm and half-carried her behind the counter, pushed her hips up against the edge and held her in place with my bodyweight.
"Now, open the till and get me the cash, or I’ll gut you like a pig."
Hot tears continued to leak from the corners of her eyes, but she punched a key and opened the register. She didn’t even try to fight me. I knotted my fingers in her short, curled hair, bent her over the counter and held her with her ass up in the air and her face smashed into the cheap Formica. I reached into the till and dug out a fist-full of bills, one’s, five’s, twenties. I didn’t bother with the checks or credit slips and change, but lifted the cash drawer and found a couple hundreds and fifties tucked away. I probably scored several hundred bucks altogether, but after sitting and watching the flood of customers come and go all afternoon, I knew the lump of money in my hand was way too light to be all the cash on hand.
"Where’s the safe?" I growled.
"I-In b-back w-w-woom."
"Back room!" I never did have any patience for foreigners who couldn’t be bothered to take the time to learn the language. I shook her head, grinding her face into the counter. "Jesus! Say it right, bitch!" I shook her. "DO it!"
"Backwoom!" She shrieked.
"NO! Say it again!"
"Backwoom! Back-woom! Back--WOOM!"
"Good! Better, anyway!" Laughing, I smacked her ass with the flat of my knife and eased my weight off her back. "Now, show me!"
I yanked her up by the hair and pushed her, sobbing, down the hall with my knife point pressed into the small of her back. We passed a heavy steel door marked as an emergency exit, then took a quick right turn that opened up into a small storage room and a cramped office. Through the office was a cruddy bathroom with a sink and toilet, a bare bulb swinging on a cord from the high ceiling. A small microwave oven and a hot plate sat on a battered file cabinet next to a desk and a bar-size refrigerator.
She’d been eating: there were a few bites of white rice soaked in cold, coagulating chicken grease left on a paper plate on the desk. The nasty smell of her dinner almost overwhelmed the musky dry-rot smell of the store. It made my guts twist.
"Where is it?" I gave her a shake, ripping hair from her scalp. She squealed and pointed to a corner of the room, jabbering incoherently. In the corner behind a file cabinet, the heavy steel top of a floor safe was propped open. I pushed her down on her knees in front of the safe, peeked in for a look, and smiled. There were several thick wads of clipped and stacked bills mixed with rolls of coins: singles, fives, tens, twenties, fifties and hundreds, all nice and bundled. Several grand, easy. Add that to the few hundred from the register, not a bad haul for a night’s work.
"Shit." I laughed again, pleasantly surprised. "Don’t you ever do bank runs?"
The bitch just stared at me and cried harder.
"Pull out the bills," I grunted, giving her another shake. "Put everything next to you on the floor. Leave the coins."
More whimpers, but did as she was told. She knelt down, reached into the safe and pulled out the packets. Stacked them in nice, neat bundles. Good little bitch. I heard somewhere Asian women were submissive. So far, it looked like the rumor was right on. I liked that. Still, she was moving way too slow, wasting time…
"Come on, bitch! Hurry!"
"Th-there." She stopped, put up her hands. "All m-money."
She wiped the tears away, tried to stand up. I shoved her flat on the floor, planted my foot on her back. "No way bitch. You stay right there."
I slipped my knife back in its sheath and reached into the front pocket of my coveralls. Pulled out a pair of long, plastic zip ties, same ones that I’d bought earlier. Grabbed her arms and twisted them behind her. She screamed and went nuts, thinking I was going to kill her or some shit, I guess, and she finally began to fight, bucking around hard enough that I had to sit on her to get her wrists together. I cinched the zip ties tight. Getting her legs was harder. I almost had to lay flat on the backs of her thighs to keep her still enough to be able to loop the zip tie around her ankles. More ties around her elbows and knees, then I stuffed the crotch of a pair of nylons into her mouth, wrapped the stocking legs around her head, and tied the leftover ends of the makeshift gag at the back of her neck. Finished, I stepped back and shook out a heavy-duty black garbage bag. Pulled it over her head and past her shoulders, tied it around her waist.
Once I had her all trussed up like a Christmas turkey, I took a quick break and went to see what kind of deli sandwiches they had in the cooler, and grab some more beer and smokes for the road.
***
It took me another five, maybe ten minutes to do my shopping. I bagged all the stuff and propped the emergency exit open with a chipped two-by-four I found leaning next to the back door. I carried everything around the back of the store and past the dumpster bin to the van. I popped open the van’s loading doors, shoved each bag inside and tucked them way up against the wall separating the cab of the van from the back; than quickly arranged them so they wouldn’t slide around once I was moving. The bag of cash went in front with me, hidden under the passenger seat, followed by the gun and the knife and mask.
Then I went back in for the Asian bitch.
She was lying on the floor, twitching and crying, her numb fingers desperately clawing at the sturdy plastic binds. She’d managed to flip halfway over onto her back. With the gag and the bag over her head, her sobs were almost completely muffled.
I watched her struggle for a minute, enjoying the show. Her skirt had rucked up almost to her hips, showing a lot of long, brown, muscular thigh. She really did have great legs.
For a second, I thought about fucking her right there on the floor. Instead, I picked her up and threw her over my shoulder. I carried her out to the van and tossed her in the back with the other spoils. She kicked, her dainty little feet sinking into thick rubber padding I’d completely covered the floor, walls, and ceiling with for that very reason, to dampen the noise. I slammed the loading doors closed and locked her in. Brushed the dust off my hands.
Whistling, I lit a cigarette and slid into the cab. I took a long, deep drag and let the smoke drift lazily out my nose. Then I started the van and pulled carefully out of the parking lot.
***
Earlier that morning, I’d cruised over the mountain during a freak snowstorm, a complete whiteout. I stopped to get some chains and paid too much for gas at a ratty little gas station. I used the bathroom and swiped a map from the little quickie-mart inside the service station. I’d never been to this part of the northwest and wasn’t familiar with the area. I used the map to point me in the direction of another small town where I thought the pickings might be a little better. But when I got here, it didn’t take much more than to look around to tell me that except for the little market, there wasn’t a whole lot worth my time.
And now that I’d stocked up and had a pocket full of spending cash, once again I wasn’t sure where I was going or what I was going to do. But I wasn’t real concerned about it, either. So I puttered along, until I came back to the bridge.
I can’t explain why, but I stopped at the barren intersection and sat in the van with the engine sputtering, looking at both the open roads. Maybe it was karma, or fate. Whatever. But I stopped and opened the map, smoking a cigarette while I studied it. I had three directions I could choose from, one of them blocked. For some reason I followed the line of the road with my finger. Past the bridge the map showed a fair-sized lake not too far away, some miles off the main highway, further up in the hills. I figured that I could maybe find a little privacy up there. A shiver ran through me. Somehow I knew that’s where I wanted - needed - to go.
But the only way to get up there was to get past this fucking bridge.
I looked up.
An old, bullet-pocked sign on stilts blocked the road. On a whim, I eased the van past it and onto the bridge. The pavement was pitted with potholes, the old stone guardrails crumbling. I worked the van around the worst of the potholes, heard the structure cracking underneath the wheels.
Other than the noise and avoiding the holes, I didn’t have any problems. The bridge ran on for maybe a couple hundred yards and spanned a wide creek, its muddy, tree lined banks flooded with cold runoff coming down from the mountain. The bridge ended, and opened up onto a winding, poorly paved road, blocked by another wood barrier. I had to stop the van and move the barrier by hand. Dragged it far enough to squeeze by. It was cold out and I was getting tired.
I yawned and shivered. Flicked my cigarette butt into the rushing water below and hopped back inside the warm cab. Heard soft, muffled noises from my little fish in the back.
"Just a little while longer baby," I grinned. "Hold on just a little longer."
***
I followed the road until I came to a fork, then stopped and checked the map. I wasn’t sure, but it looked like that was the way I wanted to go. What the hell. I’d come this far, so why stop now? I shrugged, turned left, and the road got steep enough that I heard the stuff in the back of the van shift and bump around. I drove for another twenty minutes in complete darkness except for the dim glow of my headlights, until I came to another fork with a sign pole, showing me the way to Lake Chastain.
Half an hour later, I broke through the woods and caught my first glimpse of the lake through a fringe of pine trees. The moon was full, just creeping over the tops of the tall trees overhead, shining down on the still, inky-black water. It was so dark, even with the bit of moonlight I couldn’t see the far side of the lake. I meandered around the shoreline for another mile or so, and eventually came to a dirt road; a trail that was slowly being reclaimed by the surrounding forest.
There, in tiny clearing, a huge tree stump was turned on its side, with an arrow pointing towards the roadway and the words Camp Chastain gouged into its sanded face.
"A camp, huh?" I muttered. "Well, I’ll be damned."
I guided the van slowly down the rutted trail, bouncing over rocks and kicking up dust that swirled around the van’s headlights. Tree branches scraped along the side panels, sounding like nails on a chalkboard, making me wince. After about half a mile, the trail opened up again into another small clearing almost completely overgrown with blackberry bushes and scrubby trees. The headlights picked out the remains of a dilapidated fence, and I followed that for a while, until I almost drove right into the collapsed skeleton of the camp’s dining hall.
The van came to a bumping stop at the center of the camp, and I let it sit and idle. Hands on the steering wheel, I looked around at what I’d found. The roof of the large old building had mostly rotted away and collapsed. I backed the van up and turned in a sharp circle, letting the headlights illuminate the forest. The road I was on curved around what looked like an old field, now full of brush, with overgrown trails leading off in all directions. The road I was on eventually petered out at an a-frame type storage structure and another small out-building.
I whistled. "Well, will ya look at this."
I killed the engine. Grabbed a powerful flashlight from behind my seat and went exploring.
***
The camp was small, arranged in a circle on the southern tip of the lake. I poked around until I found a covered area with two or three stout picnic tables, and a bathhouse surrounded clump of old cabins. At a casual glance, the bathhouse was a lost cause, full of rubble and fallen tree branches. Some of the cabin’s moss-covered roofs had caved in; but there were several still standing that seemed sound enough, and a couple cabins even had working wood stoves. The trail I was following wound through the woods and led down to the lower shore of the lake. A rotting dock jutted out a few dozen yards over the black water.
I stood at the muddy bank and lit a smoke. I relaxed for a moment, smoking and breathing in the night air, playing the beam of the flashlight out over the water. When I broke through the tree cover I’d expected the sweet smell of open water. Instead, the air felt thick, almost greasy; it smelled of mold and spoiled, rotten things.
Suddenly, everything felt wrong.
The forest around me was hushed, quiet as a graveyard. The lake itself was preturnaturaly still, the water barely lapping the rocky shoreline. A cold wind brushed my face, touched me like a caress. My forearms broke out in goosebumps, and the small hairs on the back of my neck stood on end, tingling.
Around me everything was still. Far out, something plopped in the lake. A fish, maybe.
Suddenly, I was sure I felt eyes on me, burning into me. I spun in place, flashed the light over the tree line. Nothing moved. Not even a breeze. No sound at all. No buzz of insects, or the rustle of night creatures in the brush.
I shivered and ran a hand over my shaved skull. "Fuck this," I muttered. I flicked away my cigarette butt and picked my way back to the camp.
The feeling abated the farther away I got from the water. The night was still quiet, but by the time I reached the van, I was breathing easy again, and my fatigue was completely gone. I stopped and lit another smoke. Noticed for the first time that my hands were shaking. "Fuck’n crazy shit," I muttered to myself. My fingers were still trembling as I shook out the match and dropped it. "Actin’ like a pussy, all scared of the dark."
I smoked half the cigarette in one long drag. And then I smiled, remembering the treat I had locked in the back of the van.
***
The Asian bitch had rolled up against the van’s loading doors. She almost fell out when I opened them up. I caught her and rolled her back onto the padded floor. I used my knife and cut off the plastic bag. Her hair was a mess, sticking up all over the place. She stared at me with wide, glassy eyes.
"All right you fucking cunt. Time to get out."
I reached in and got a better grip on her, then hauled her out and threw her right over my shoulder like a big sack of potatoes. I slammed the doors shut and locked the van out of habit. It wasn’t like there was anyone else around to steal the damn thing. I carried her, hissing and squirming, down to the cabins; stepped onto the rickety porch of one with a solid roof and a working stove. I already had a small fire going, making sure the stove was really okay to use without burning the place down.
The small space was warming up already. Bright moonlight shone through the cracked, smudged windowpanes set in the tops of the walls, under the roofline.
I tossed the bitch in a heap on the floor. She fell with a grunt. Grimaced and tried to curl up into a ball, panting. Staring at me in fear.
"Now lets have some fun," I said, and unzipped my coveralls.
The bitch watched me undress in the moonlight, her eyes getting wider and wider. The fire glowed orange in the stove, throwing crazy, twisting shadows on the walls. I kicked out of my boots and stepped out of my clothes. She shook her head, but the gag in her mouth stifled her pleading cries. I dragged her to one of the wood bunk beds and bent her forward, made her kneel on the floor with her chest on a rotting old mattress, her ass up in the air. I held her down with a hand around her neck. She kept whimpering like a scared cow.
I grabbed the hem of her skirt and yanked, ripping it at the slit by her knees, right up the back, all the way to the waistband. I let the flap of torn material fall to the floor and ran my hands over her warm, firm ass. My cock was already hard and raging, throbbing. I felt lightheaded again as my blood rushed to my groin. I dug my fingernails into the seam of her nylons and ripped them open, exposing her silky white panties. I pulled at them, felt the seam give and rip apart at the crotch.
"Ah, fuck..." I grunted, and squeezed her smooth, naked ass. "Shit yeah..."
I stood behind the bitch and grabbed a handful of hair, bent her torso backwards towards my chest and ripped open her blouse, popping off tiny pearl buttons. My dick slipped into the crack of her ass and wedged there. Her fingertips wiggled weakly, her nails lightly scraping my belly. She was still frantically shaking her head, her eyes squeezed shut like this was just a bad dream; like she could wake up if she just tried hard enough.
I caught her neck in the crook of my arm and pulled the cups of her bra down over her nipples. I slowly nuzzled the hollow of her neck, again scraping the stubble of my beard on her warm, smooth skin. I bit and chewed, tasting her as I went. Started to jerk my hips, rubbing my cock up and down her ass crack. Got my first nice look at her tits: dark, pointed nipples capped small, up-thrust breasts. I gave them a good squeeze.
That started her struggling again, and her weak wiggling made me smile. I slapped her ass, leaving a nice red welt in the shape of my palm. I slapped her again, harder. She groaned and squirmed, and her ass cheeks jiggled.
"Let’s see if you’re as tight as I hope you are, huh?"
Keeping her bent with my arm tight around her neck, I stopped groping her tits and spat on my free hand. Rubbed the dripping saliva on my dick. Pressed the wet tip between her legs until it found an entry and lodged. I shoved with my hips, felt the head of my cock poke and rip into her dry, tight little butthole.
She started screeching and bucking underneath me, gagging and retching, snot flying from her nose. I felt the muscles in her neck straining and bent her back even more. I was choking her, crushing her throat, not letting her get much air. I spit again and used it to lube my shaft, not wanting to give up the little headway I’d made.
The knot of muscle in her anus was clenched tight around me, and I had a long way to go. I shoved again, harder. Slipped in an inch, then two, then three. She’d stopped shaking her head; now her whole body was trembling violently as I entered her. I backed out a little, giving an inch to gain a yard. Shoved. Felt her flesh tear, felt the first trickle of warm blood. The blood helped. Kept up the pressure this time until I broke all the way through into her rectum. Pushed until I had my full length of hard, swollen meat buried inside her. Sighed as her ass muscles spasmed around my dick.
A cold, wet gust of wind blew through the cabin. Stoking the fire. Chilling me, like an icy finger drawn down my spine.
The bitch under me screamed into her gag. Her body shook violently.
I eased the pressure around her neck and let her go. Let her fall, gasping and panting, back onto the mattress. Something...a voice, low and insistent whispered in the back of my mind. I untied the bitch’s gag. Tossed the wet nylons across the room. Wrapped my hands around her tiny waist and adjusted her hips to a better angle. The voice, the chant in my head became louder, more insistent. Coaxing...
Pleading...
Demanding...
I groped around blindly and found my knife, sheathed on the floor. Pulled the blade and held it up, my fingertips on the leather-wrapped hilt, turning it, watching the flickering light of the fire play on the steel.
Fascinated.
Lost...
The light, dark and red and flowing...
Like fresh blood...
Another chill ran through me, and then a warm, burning sensation settled into my gut, bringing me back...
I grabbed another handful of the bitch’s hair, jerked the panting, terrified woman up off the mattress. Felt her ass settle down to the base of my cock. I tickled her flesh with the cutting edge of my blade.
The bitch, snot dripping from her tear-stained face, her voice low and hoarse, whispering: "No no no no no..."
I closed my eyes.
I could almost hear the blood pounding in her soft, tender throat. The strange voice was roaring in my head, urging me on…
I licked my lips in anticipation. Opened my eyes.
The voice in my head went quiet.
"Now, bitch." I grated through clenched teeth. "Let’s hear you really scream."

Eventually, I got tired of just raping her ass, wanted to feel her sweet, pretty cunt for the first time. I cut the zip ties from her arms and legs, sliced apart the pair of stockings I’d used for her gag and tied the bitch face down on the lower bunk, spread-eagled on the mattress, her wrists and ankles secured to the thick pine bedposts. Raised her limbs a few inches above her body, to drain the blood and keep them numb, just in case she got any crazy thoughts about trying to pick apart the knots and get away. I dropped the knife to the floor and crawled back onto the bed, more excited than ever.
She grunted hoarsely when I eased between her spread legs and took her, cramming my raw penis into her sweaty gash. I wrapped my hands around her neck and choked her while I fucked her, savoring her pathetic cries for help, then the weak gasps for air. Crushing her with my body. Pounding into her as hard as I could, smacking my belly against her buttocks, pulling slowly back, fucking her hard, over and over.
The room stank of fear and sweat and sex, mixed with the coppery tang of blood and the pungent odor of wood smoke.
The voice came back, stronger this time. Whispering…
My orgasm built in a rush, shooting from deep in my balls. I came in a flood and collapsed on top of her bloody, sweat-slick back. Satiated for now; half awake, enjoying the feel of the hot stickiness covering her slim form.
Lying there, I listened to the whispers running through my mind. The bitch groaned and finally passed out, exhausted.
Her ragged breathing gently lulled me to sleep.
Outside, the quiet of the night was finally broken. Strange, misshapen shadows slipped through the trees towards the cabins. The shadows took form, crowded into the cover of the tall pine trees circling the clearing, dripping scummy water and oozing pussy slime from gnarled, leathery bodies. Vacant black pits in place of eyes gleamed in the silvery darkness.
A cold wind rustled the branches of the trees. The whispers became a singsong chant...
One of the creatures shuffled into the clearing, trailing wet muck. It crept to the cabin, quietly climbing the steps onto the low porch, and slowly and painfully reached out. It scraped long, sharp claws across the door, tearing jagged splinters from the rotting wood panels.
***
I wasn’t out long before the bitch woke me up. She was still crushed underneath me, but now she was squirming and moaning to beat the band. My dick had popped out of her cooze while we where asleep, but I was painfully hard again, my cock smashed into the crack of her her wiggling ass, and my first vague thought was to ream her asshole until I zonked out again. It took a moment to realize that something else was goading me awake. The whispering in my head had slowly and surely become a loud chorus of unearthly, rasping voices, and I knew that was what had pulled me out of my stupor.
My cock twitched. I looked down at the bitch, who was staring at the cabin door. She ignored me completely, like I wasn’t even there. Her entire body was taut and trembling with fear, her dark eyes wide and terrified. I followed her gaze, and suddenly felt an overwhelming, alien presence outside. For a second, I wondered if the cops had found me; but then, why would the bitch be acting so freaked out? She should be screaming and shouting for joy, if that was the case.
Reluctantly, I pushed off her and stood, my dick sticking straight out, twitching. The fire had burned down to embers, and a soft red glow bathed the cabin, casting flickering shadows on the plywood walls. Trying to get my wits back, I took a tentative step towards the door, and the bitch about had a shit fit.
"No no no no no no..." She thrashed around even harder, wildly shaking her head back-and-forth, clenching and unclenching her tiny little hands.
"Will you shut the fuck up?" I hissed. I picked up my knife, felt it’s familiar weight in the palm of my hand, and slid another step closer to the door, straining to hear a sound, or a voice; any noise that might give me a clue as to what might be outside. I wondered if it was some dumb animal that had us both so spooked. Maybe a bear, wandering around, looking for trash. I’d feel like an idiot if it was just a deer, or a raccoon. Or a damn mouse...
I touched the door with my fingertips, put my ear against it. Listened.
Nothing.
I shook my head and snorted in disgust. What a fucking pussy. Scared half out of my wits because this stupid bitch was freaking out?
"Fuck this," I whispered, and reached for the lock.
The bitch almost had a stroke. "Prease! Prease! D-d-d-don’t..."
I glared at her, pissed. Then my mouth curled into a smile. "What? You scared?"
The bitch swallowed. Glanced at the door and nodded wildly. "Y-yes... S-s-something bad out there..."
"There’s nothing out there."
"You wrong. S-something bad. Very bad outside..."
"Fucking stuped cunt," I snarled, "I’ll show you there’s nothing out there. Is that what you want?"
She shrank away from me as I loomed over her. "NO! No! Prease..."
"There’s nothing fucking out there, you stupid cunt! What the fuck! Wake me up and fuck with me! Here! We’ll go out together, if you’re so scared!"
"No! no no no..." She was thrashing again, crying, tears streaming down her sweet, pretty cheeks. Vainly trying to get away from me. I couldn’t tell if she was more scared of me, or what she thought was outside. I cut her legs free, then her wrists. Grabbed a handful of hair and dragged her along the floor to the door. She fought me, smacking at my legs and groin until I thumped the back of her skull with the butt of the knife. She went limp, just for a second. Long enough for me to shoot open the bolt and throw open the door.
She moaned loudly, and I felt her body shudder. I took a deep, unconscious breath, and dragged her out onto the porch.
***
The moon was full and had risen high, almost exactly over the cabin; casting a fine, pale white light, illuminating the clearing out to the edges of the forest. I licked my lips and took a better grip on the knife. I was completely pissed off, but something still held me back from rushing straight out. I took a look around, saw nothing but deep shadows past the dark barrier of pines. The bitch was clinging to my leg, her arms wrapped tight around my upper thigh, her body slick with sweat. She was panting hard, her chest heaving. eyes shooting from one edge of the forest to the other.
I ran my hand down my face, along the stubble on my jaw. Felt the tension slowly ease out of my muscles. "See? You stupid cunt. There’s nothing out here."
The bitch just shook her head and scooted even closer to me, staring straight ahead now.
"There..." she whispered. "They...out...there..."
"Will you fucking stop that? There’s nothing here!"
I gripped her around her slim upper arm, and dragged her down the steps. She freaked again, started yelping like a puppy getting beaten, and fought me, scratching my belly with her long red fingernails, hard enough to draw blood.
"Son of a fucking bitch!" I roared, and shoved her away from me.
"No! No!" She screamed. She stared at the forest and scuttled quickly back to me, grabbing at my ankles.
I stepped away from her clawing hands and kicked the bitch once in the side, hard enough to send her flying. She fell in a heap, clutching her ribs and sobbing pathetically.
And then a woman, absolutely the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, stepped naked out of the woods into the clearing.
And around us, the world stopped dead.
***
Jong-Seon knew she was in bad trouble as soon as the man in the mask grabbed her at the store. She knew that even if she gave him all the money she had, the man was probably going to hurt her, perhaps even kill her. When he tied her up, for a second, she had a glimmer of hope that he might leave her there, lying on the cold concrete floor, until her husband realized she was much too late closing the store and came to look for her. She knew that after their argument over the phone, that rescue might’ve taken hours, and instead of relief when her husband found her alive and well, he would’ve been even angrier with her for being stupid enough to let herself get robbed - and yet even more upset with her for letting the man take the money.
Shameful as it would be, she could have lived with that knowlege.
But the minute the man took her with him, when she found herself rolling around in the back of his van, she knew for a certainty that her life was likely over, that she would never see her children again.
Strangely enough, as bad as that thought was, Jong-Seon didn’t expect that things could get even worse.
She was so scared, so fixated on all the ways she thought he might kill her, she didn’t even bother to think about the fact that he might rape her. By then, she was resigned to the fact that he would kill her after he had driven far enough away from the store, but the actual rape was almost even worse. By the end, she was in so much pain and so exhausted and so humiliated, that all she wanted was for him to kill her. After a time she begged him to; but in the haze of pain, she babbled to him in Korean, not English. By the time he finished brutalizing her and finally passed out, she wondered if he might not kill her outright at all, but keep her tied naked to the bed, a prisoner to use when he wished.
She wept silently, snatching quick, panting breaths, while the man snored on top of her, his breath foul on her skin and his stinking sweat dribbling down her bruised flanks; she sobbed while he crushed her with his weight, his thick penis still lodged tight inside her.
And then she heard the chanting.
At first, she thought she imagined the voices, that her traumatized mind was playing tricks. But the voices grew louder, and she could hear a rustling outside the cabin; the soft sound of footsteps, bringing with them an overwhelming sense of dread.
And then the voices abruptly stopped.
Jong-Seon waited, holding her breath, tears borne of fear bubbling over and falling down her heated face. Even in the sudden silence, she knew something was outside. Some thing that wasn’t either human or animal.
Some awful, horrible thing that was even worse than the man who had just kidnapped and raped her.
And then something scratched at the door.
***
The woman stepped close enough that I could’ve grabbed her, if I’d wanted, and smiled. She touched me lightly on the chest, sending a sharp pain through me, like she’d poured a tiny droplet of acid on my skin, and suddenly my body went numb. She began tracing a pattern on my chest and my belly, the burning sensation following the movement of her slender fingers, like she was dragging a white hot needle through my flesh. I could feel my heart pounding, feel the blood burning in my ears. I could vaguely hear the stupid bitch still babbling hysterically, but she sounded far, far away.
When the woman in front of me finally spoke, her lips never moved. Instead, her voice blossomed in my head.
"You are the one."
I couldn’t move. I tried to lick my lips. "Wh-what?" I managed to mumble, as she circled behind me, clawing her fingernails into my skin.
"You will be our savior."
She came full around, placed both her hands on my chest. She looked into my eyes, and hers glowed in the silver moonlight. She wrapped her arms around my neck, and suddenly she was pressed against me, kissing me, her tongue hot and insistent. There was another explosion of burning pain as she wrapped herself around me, and then we were falling backwards. When we hit the ground my breath exploded into her mouth. She straddled me easily, then she smiled down upon me and took my cock in her hand. She hovered over me like that for a long, agonizing moment, her lush breasts brushing my chest, her pointed little nipples sending searing bursts of agony through me as they grazed my torso. Then her hips gyrated slowly, and suddenly I was sinking into her.
It was like dipping my cock into an open flame. She braced her hands on my bleeding chest, smiled sweetly at my screams, and pushed herself erect until her pussy swallowed me whole.
And then she beckoned to the things waiting in the woods.
I never noticed as the wet, shambling things surrounded the stupid bitch. I never heard her screams as they tore her apart and devoured her while their queen took me there in the dirt and mud. I never noticed when the things moved back into the woods, dragging gory bits and pieces of what was left of the stupid bitch, leaving bloody trails as they returned to the lake.

Epilogue
"I think we’re screwed." Rhonda said. "No one’s been this way for years."
Rhonda and Barb had decided to have an adventure. Both newly divorced, they decided to celebrate, and spent a long three-day weekend gambling at the new indian casino and resort. They’d had a grand time the last couple days, taking in a few shows, eating nice dinners, drinking too much and losing more money than either had planned on the slots. but on the way home, instead of hopping on the new freeway, they’d taken a back road to the main highway, and had promptly gotten lost. They were going to backtrack the miles and head back to the casino, when they saw a sheriff’s car, parked and idling next to a dilapidated old, closed mini-market. Relieved, Barb had asked for directions, and the sheriff said they were actually pretty close to where they wanted to be, and pointed them north, right up the mountain. His directions seemed a little wacky, and Rhonda had frowned at the time.
But Barb insisted she knew where she was going again, so Rhonda had kept her mouth shut.
That was more than three hours ago. A mostly empty gas tank, a freak snowstorm, and a blown-out tire ago.
Now, they were pulled off to the side of an old gravel road next to some long lost summer camp, shivering in Barbs car, with no sign of civilization in sight. Neither of them was dressed for the weather; the clothes they’d brought were for sitting at blackjack tables or dining with the other hotel guests, not spending time sitting in a freezing car in the snow. Rhonda wore a light sweater, and when they’d looked for the spare tire, Barb had found an old blanket in the trunk of the car that they now had wrapped tightly around themselves.
Rhonda was pissed, and was through silently cursing her friend. "Why didn’t you check your spare before we left?"
"I did! I mean, it was there. I just didn’t think to check if it had air."
"Dammit, Barb! We never should’ve come this way."
"Fuck. I know." Barb smacked the steering wheel. "You’re right. I can’t figure out why... Hey!"
"What?"
"Lights!" Barb peered into her rearview mirror. "Headlights! We’re saved!"
"What? Where?" Rhonda twisted in the seat, and realized her seatbelt was still on. She unhooked it as Barb unlocked and opened the drivers side door. Even with the hazard lights blinking, with the luck they were having, Rhonda half-figured the car would drive right on by. "Hey, Barb, wait...!"
Rhonda managed to fumble her seatbelt off and joined Barb out in the freezing cold, shouting and waving at the car to pull over. They were illuminated by its headlights as it drew close.
"They’re stopping!" Barb clapped happily as it veered off the road and parked behind them.
The headlights blinded them, but they squinted into the light, and jumped and hugged as the driver’s door opened.
"You ladies alright?" Came a deep voice.
Relief flooded through them. Barb held her hand up to shade her eyes from the glare as a tall figure strode forward. Rhonda heard her friend let out a tiny yelp of suprise at the tall figure who strode forward into the light.
The sheriff stepped close to the women, smiling, looking them up and down. He had his baton out, smaking it into the palm of his black leather glove. "Looks like you’re having some car trouble."
Bothe women took an unconscious step backwards. "Um." Barb glanced nervously at Rhonda, who blinked. "We...we’ve got a flat tire..."
"Oh yeah?" He said. "I can help you with that. Let’s take a look..."
"Okay..." Barb said.
The women stepped aside, and Rhonda felt the sheriff brush past her, and then there was a blur of movement, and a loud cra-ack as he lashed out with the baton, catching Barb full in the side of the head. She fell to the ground like a rock, without making a sound. Rhonda screamed and turned to run, but he was on her in an instant, grabbing a fistful of her hair, spinning her back around and driving her face into the trunk of Barb’s car. There was a sudden blast of pain and a burst of light behind Rhonda’s eyes as he smashed her face into the hood again and again, until she went limp.
Rhonda groaned, tasting blood, as the sheriff wrenched her arms around and handcuffed her wrists behind her.
"Stupid fucking bitch," he muttered, and let Rhonda fall loosely to the ground. She watched helplessly, her vision blurred, as he bent to attend to Barb, flipping her onto her back and binding her wrists with heavy plastic zip-ties. The sheriff picked Barb’s limp form up and shouldered her easily, then carried her to his cruiser. He tossed her into the back seat and slammed the door shut.
Rhonda heard his boots crunch in the snow as he came back for her. She tried to scoot away from the sound, mewing weakly, whimpering like an animal.
"Where do you think you’re going, bitch?"
Rough hands grabbed Rhonda by the upper arms and dragged her to her feet. The sheriff threw her face first over the hood of Barb’s car. She bounced of the cold metal and tried to wiggle away, but he smashed her face into the unforgiving metal again. Stars burst behind her eyes, and Rhonda groaned, the fight going out of her in a rush.
He spread her legs, wedging his body between them, and kicked her feet out from under her. Rhonda started to slip off the car, but her ass bumped into his crotch, and he pinned her like that, bent over the trunk with her ass in the air. He took off his gloves and rubbed his hands over her butt, enjoying the feel of her tight black slacks on his fingertips.
"Damn, bitch! You two looked pretty tasty back at the casino, for older cunts. I liked your friend too, but you... Well. You had some huge fucking tits. And your ass... Mmm-mmm!" The sheriff slapped her butt hard, and his voice drifted off with a wet slurp. Rhonda heard a click, and then the sheriff was waving six inches of sharp, bright, pointed steel in front of her face.
"I think we’ve got plenty of time before someone drives by, don’t you think?" Rhonda could see the sheriff grin, his teeth white and gleaming, his face dark and twisted weirdly in the reflection of the knife blade. "Hell yes. Plenty of time, seeing as I own this land were on, this whole camp. Shit, these roads have been blocked to through traffic for so long, nobody comes up here without my permission anyway. So we got plenty of time to fool around, before I take you to meet some friends of mine." The sheriff grinned, thinking of a joke. "I’m sure you and your lady friend in my car’ll be hungry by morning. I know my friends are always starving. We’ll all have breakfast together. Anyway, till then, what say we see what you’ve got hiding under all these clothes, hey bitch?"
The sheriff pulled at the seat of Rhonda’s slacks and dug the knife point into the seam running up her ass, and ripped. He cut with the sharp knife until the seam split, and then he sawed at the waistband, until Rhonda’s slacks split into two pieces and slipped down her thighs.
"Huh." He grunted. "Not a big fan of your panties bitch. Plain as all hell. We’ll need to get rid of these fuckers right now."
Rhonda sobbed, her breath steaming the trunk as he tore off her white cotton panties, exposing her plump ass to the freezing air. He ran his rough, calloused hands over her butt, probing and proding at her rectum and pussy with his strong fingers.
"Please don’t do this," she pleaded. "Please let us go. We didn’t do anything. We..."
"Will you shut the fuck up?" The sheriff laughed out loud, grabbed a fistful of Rhonda’s hair, and bounced her face lightly off the hood a few times. Hard enough to quiet her down, not hard enough to really hurt her much. He laughed at her squeals as her body bonged into the metal trunk and bounced off. "Shit bitch," he chuckled. "I think you just tried to bargain with me."
Fresh blood trickled from Rhonda’s nose, over her cracked and swollen lips as he went to work with his knife, slicing away her sweater, then her blouse. Cutting until Rhonda’s clothes hung in tattered rags, leaving only her lacy white bra untouched.
"There." The sheriff folded his knife and tucked it away in his belt. He cocked his head and admired his handywork, liking the way the bitch’s muscles twitched as she shivered with cold and fear. "Now will you look at that," he mused. "There’s something I just don’t understand. Why women will fork out the money to buy a nice, pretty bra, but still go and wear butt-ugly panties." He shook his head. "Just don’t make a bit of fucking sense."
Rhoda lay prone on the car, panting, fighting to stay conscious. Desperately trying to think of some way to get away while he ran his hands over her body, exploring. She struggled with the handcuffs, pulling until her wrists cut and bled. His hands slipped up her belly and over her breasts, squeezing the tender flesh painfully hard. "Owwwww....!!" She gasped when he pinched and kneaded her erect nipples. Her thoughts were fuzzy, from pain and cold and fear.
And then he abruptly let her go. Rhonda smacked back down on the car. The air went out of her in a whoosh, and all her vague thoughts of escape vanished the second she heard the sound of his zipper being pulled open. He was quiet now too, except for his breath, which was coming in ragged gasps as he stood over her bent body, reached into his pants and pulled out his scarred, massive cock. Rhonda jumped as it flopped down on her ass with a meaty smack. She gasped as the thick knot of his cock’s swollen head suddenly crammed into her pussy. He wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her towards him, the same time thrusting with his hips.
Rhonda screamed.
It felt like she was being ripped in half, like someone had shoved a gnarled old tree branch deep into her guts.
And then he bent over her, grabbed her tits, and started to fuck her.
***
When he finished, the sheriff tossed the bitch into the backseat of his car with her friend, who was either still out cold, or dead. He didn’t really care which. She was okay looking, but he’d just nailed the one he wanted, the one with the monster titties. And by the time he got her back to the lake, it wouldn’t matter much anyway. The creatures preferred their meat living, but as long as it was fresh they weren’t too choosy.
He lit a smoke and took a long, deep drag, flicking the match into a loose pile of snow. He looked up at the clouds. They’d begun to clear, letting the moon shine through. He reached into his jacked and pulled out a cell phone, pressed a button. It took a few rings before someone answered.
"Zeke?" He said, blowing a jet of smoke. "Hey there. Yep, it’s me. Sorry to call so late, but I’ve got an abandoned car for your chop shop, if you want to come and get it." The sheriff listened for a second, peered in at the women lying in his cruiser. Took another hit on the cigarette. "Yep. Yep, you bet. You drag this back to the shop and come on over for dessert. Well, one’s spoken for, if you know what I mean." He grinned at Barb, then at Rhonda. "But there’s leftover’s enough for both of us to share."
Early morning light snakes through a clear sky above a run-down apartment complex. A man kicks a child’s bicycle out of the sidewalk as he manhandles a pair of large cardboard boxes up a cracked cement walk to one of the apartment doors, huffing with the effort. The owner of the bike, a scrawny, ten-year old black boy sitting across the road on a trash-strewn stoop and eating cold cereal out of a crumpled yellow box, yells at him.
ÂÂ
“Hey, motherfucker! That’s my bike. Leave it alone!â€Â
ÂÂ
The man mutters an oath. The boy jumps up, causing his baggy jeans to slide even further down around his skinny shanks.
ÂÂ

p> “What? What’d you say, you spic motherfucker? Speak American, dammit!â€Â
ÂÂ
I should break your scrawny neck, boy.
ÂÂ
“Ye-ah. That’s what I thought. Keep on walkin’. Pussy.â€Â
ÂÂ
The man grunts, ignoring the child’s prattle. There was a time when he acted much the same way, and if the boy wasn’t so annoying, his bravado might almost be amusing.
ÂÂ
“Hey!†The boy peers at the boxes, curious. “What’choo got there, man? Huh?â€Â
ÂÂ
Exasperating child. Go home.
ÂÂ
A puff of steam escapes the man’s lips into the chill air. He compresses his lips into a tight, pale line, getting control of himself. He awkwardly balances the boxes on a raised knee and gropes for the heavy key ring that jangles from his belt. The man lists from side to side and bounces on the ball of his foot, struggling to keep his balance.
ÂÂ
The boxes stay put, and he unlocks the door and kicks it open.
ÂÂ
“Hey! You spic fuck! I asked you a question! Hey! Hey!â€Â
ÂÂ
The man tumbles inside and sets the boxes on the floor, then quickly shuts the flimsy wood door and locks the deadbolt, blocking out the boys’ vulgarity. He wipes his hands and stretches, then walks through the tiny, one-bedroom apartment and pulls down the window blinds before he switches on the kitchen light.
ÂÂ
A spark shoots from the bare light bulb that dangles from the ceiling. The man squints as the light flickers and slowly illuminates the meager room. He rubs his stubby fingers over a thick, black mustache and the bristly stubble covering his chin and neck.
ÂÂ
When his eyes adjust to the dim light, he unclips a folding knife from his belt and cuts through the packing tape. He puts away the knife, opens the flaps of the larger box, and digs around until he finds a small instruction manual.
ÂÂ
The man pulls out the contents of each box and organizes the equipment on a cheap Formica dining table, setting up a desktop computer as he reads the manual. He disconnects a cheap phone and an answering machine and plugs a cord into the modem slot on the back of the computer. The man grins and shrugs out of his faded green fatigue jacket, and carefully places it on the back of a rickety old dinette chair. He takes a black plastic shopping bag from the counter, sets it next to him on the table, and sits down on the edge of the chair, pulling a ream of white printer paper from the bag. He inserts a bit into the top of a new printer, and watches the monitor screen, tapping his foot expectantly on the peeling vinyl floor, and waits.
ÂÂ
Dark. No power.
ÂÂ
The little man frowns and checks the manual again. He matches the diagrams in the manual to the buttons on each machine and pokes the on/off buttons for the hard drive and the monitor.
ÂÂ
Nothing.
ÂÂ
Puzzled, the man flips through the manual again, then stands and peers around in the boxes. He smacks his forehead with the palm of his hand and swears.
ÂÂ
 He pulls out two bundled power cords that were hidden away in the packing material. He plugs them into an electrical outlet on the baseboard, next to the phone line.
ÂÂ
 He pushes the power button again and his lined face breaks into a smile as the hard drive whines and rattles. The computer blinks on, booting up. The smile grows and he turns on the printer, then reaches behind him and takes several folded pieces of yellow legal paper from his jacket pocket. He smoothes them out on the table and moves the mouse around on its pad, getting a feel for it. He pulls a diskette from the bag, locates the drive it fits into, and clicks on one of the little pictures on the screen. He jumps a bit, then smiles happily as the modem blasts to life.
ÂÂ
The man follows the directions written on the paper, pecking carefully away at the keyboard, and sets up an anonymous email account. When he finishes, he rubs his moist palms off on his pant legs and pulls a rumpled porno magazine from the bag, a locally published magazine that he’d purchased at a strip club the night before. He chews on his lip and flips to the back, searching the advertisements and ignoring the lewd pictures of the naked women and the naked men, until he finds the particular add he’s looking for.
ÂÂ
The man grins again, reads more of his notes, and pecks away until a website appears in the monitor. He leans over the table and scans the magazine ad intently, comparing the print from the page to the picture the screen.
ÂÂ
He mouths the words that are lushly scripted in black and gold against a field of satin pink.
ÂÂ

ÂÂ
A small framed photo sits on the counter next to him. The photo is a picture of a family of three, a father, a wife and a baby daughter, all smiling for the camera. Happy.
ÂÂ
The man smiles sadly at the photo.
ÂÂ
Soon, my brother. All will be made right.     ÂÂ

He uses the mouse to click on the words, and the screen changes. He leans closer to the screen, reading.

ÂÂ
Sharon Chapman jumped in her leather chair when her cell phone rang, startled.
ÂÂ
Oh, Jesus, she thought, and glanced at the clock on her desk.
ÂÂ
Ten forty-five.
ÂÂ
I completely lost track of time.
ÂÂ
She peered out her office window. A light frosting of snow had built up in the corners of the glass.
ÂÂ
When did it start to snow? Sharon wasn’t sure.
ÂÂ
As she reached for her phone, she realized that she hadn’t heard the office phones ring at all that evening.
ÂÂ
Strange.
ÂÂ
She thought Michelle had told her that they’d been fixed. But then again, she might not have noticed the phone ring anyway. Sharon knew that she had a tendency to let herself get wrapped up in her work, to the point that she’d tune out everyone and everything around her. And she’d been pretty focused on this new client’s case since she’d come into the office that afternoon.
ÂÂ
But hadn’t she signed for the bill before everybody left? She was vaguely aware that Debbie asked her to sign some sort of paperwork.
ÂÂ
God. Now the memory starts to go, too. I don’t feel that old.
ÂÂ
Sharon was still trying to remember if she’d signed a work order or what, when she picked up her phone, pushed the on button, and cleared her throat.
ÂÂ
“Hello? This is Sharon.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Mom?†said a tinny voice. “Is that you? It’s Amy.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Sweetie?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Hi. Sorry to call this late.â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon thought her daughter sounded tired, but she didn’t say it. Instead, she slipped off her tiny, wire-rimmed bifocals, folded them neatly and set them on the papers she’d been reading. God, she hated those glasses. She knew they were necessary now; without them, she was pretty much blind as a bat. She hated turning fifty. Getting older completely pissed her off; it was a waste of her time.
ÂÂ
Sharon leaned back in her chair, stretching. The soft leather creaked as she settled in. She pressed the phone back to her ear. “S’okay. How are you?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Good, Mom. Great.†Pause. “You’re burning the midnight oil tonight.â€Â
ÂÂ
A statement, not a question. Sharon nodded. “New client.†Amy never failed to let her know when she thought Sharon was working too much. “This is a difficult one.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Domestic violence. There are kids involved. Anne and I are trying to work out a settlement. We’ve got a court date scheduled right after the holidays.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh.†Pause. “How is Ms. Laird?†Cold.
ÂÂ
“Annie’s fine, too.â€Â
ÂÂ
Amy was quiet a moment. Even after all these years, she still had a tough time talking about Sharon’s work, and their past. When Amy was three, Sharon’s ex-husband, Mike, had left them, running away to the sunny beaches of Rio with another woman who was barely out of diapers. He withdrew all the money from their bank account, leaving Sharon completely broke and in massive debt. She’d taken Mike to court, trying to get some help; alimony or child support.
ÂÂ
Something – anything to help.
ÂÂ
But he never paid a dime. Sharon quickly ran out of her meager savings, and she had no other family to turn to for help. For the next few years, she scrimped and saved, working two jobs, scratching and clawing to make a better life for her daughter.
ÂÂ
There were hard times, and worse times.
ÂÂ
But Sharon managed to put herself through law school, swearing that if she could make it, she would do whatever it took to help other women who were stuck in the same sort of ugly situations. It was in law school that Sharon met Anne Laird, who would later become her partner and closest friend.
ÂÂ
In a particularly bad moment, Amy had made it clear that she didn’t care for Anne, or her relationship with Sharon.
ÂÂ
Sharon tried to change the subject. “So, anyway. Enough of that. What are you up to? How’s Jenny?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Jenny’s great. She asks about you all the time.†Pause. “Sorry I’m calling so late. I tried to call you earlier, but the phones were out of service forever.â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon looked at the framed pictures on her desk, of her daughter and her beautiful granddaughter, Jennifer. Without her glasses, they were all blurry. She thought she’d been able to see them okay yesterday.
ÂÂ
God, this is frustrating..
ÂÂ
“It’s all right, babe. No need to apologize. We’ve been having a little trouble with our phone lines.â€Â
ÂÂ
What the hell was wrong with them? Sharon had no idea. Must’ve been pretty bad for those guys to be here all day. Michelle probably had a coronary over the cost. The thought of Michelle made Sharon smile. How did we manage this office without her?
ÂÂ
“Mom, look, I know this is kind of out of the blue, but I…uh, well, we were all wondering if you’d like to fly down for Christmas. Jenny hasn’t seen you in a while, and Jeff’s folks are going to be staying with us over the weekend. I thought maybe you’d want to come too…â€Â
ÂÂ
Amy sounded uncomfortable, like she was asking because she was supposed to. Sharon didn’t think they would really want her over for the holiday, much less have her stay for an entire three-day weekend. Well, except for Jenny. Certainly not Jeff.ÂÂ
ÂÂ
They’d started off on a bad note when Amy introduced them on the night of their engagement party. Jeff had been drunkenly telling a horribly sexist joke, something about how many horny women it took to screw in a light bulb, when Sharon mentioned that she thought that men should be snipped and tied at puberty.
ÂÂ
“I’d love to Sweetie, but this might not be the best time.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh.â€Â
ÂÂ
“I’ve got so much work right now…â€Â
ÂÂ
“But Jenny and I would really like for you to be here.†Another short pause. “And Jeff wants you to come too.â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon tried not to snort at that last comment.
ÂÂ
“Sweetie, your house is going to be packed full with Jeff’s parents staying there. I think…†Sharon rubbed at her eyes. “Listen. How about this: Jenny’s birthday’s in just a month. How about I come down then?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Really?†Amy sounded relieved.
ÂÂ
“Sure. We can go do the theme parks.â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon smiled.
ÂÂ
Jenny loved roller-coasters, and so did she. They reminded her of how life really worked: up one minute, down the next, then right back up again. Life was a series of highs and lows.
ÂÂ
Sharon’s favorite picture of Jenny, one of the pictures she kept on her desk, was of Jenny and her mom that had been snapped during a roller coaster ride. The picture was taken as they went through a double loop-de-loop. Jenny was grinning like only a twelve year old can grin: a huge, ear-to-ear, this-is-the best thing ever kind of grin. Amy looked terrified.
ÂÂ
“Uh, okay. Sounds…fun.â€Â
ÂÂ
Maybe she wasn’t so relieved. Sharon chuckled.
ÂÂ
They made small talk for a few more moments, and then Amy told Sharon that she should go home and get some sleep. Sharon wished her daughter a good night and told her to give Jenny a kiss and a hug for her, and they both hung up. The cell phone buzzed in Sharon’s hand, letting her know she had messages.
ÂÂ
Wow. I must’ve been really out of it tonight. No idea I had other calls.
ÂÂ
She pressed the auto-dial and listened to the messages. A couple of the calls were about business, but could wait until next week, after the holidays. Jenny had called once and left a short, terse message. So had Annie, asking her to drop by for dinner if she felt like it. She said she was dying for a pizza, and she thought she’d be getting home about seven.
ÂÂ
Slightly annoyed, Sharon half-listened while Annie droned on and on, like a tired mother tolerating a child. Inwardly, she winced at the pleading tone in Annie’s voice, and stared blankly at the work on her desk, distracted. Annie mumbled something Sharon didn’t catch, and asked Sharon to give her a call later.
ÂÂ
Sharon looked at the clock again and turned off her phone.
ÂÂ
Too late to call now.
ÂÂ
Afterwards, Sharon sat quietly and stared at the phone until she heard the soft chime that announced that someone was walking through the front door. A second later she heard a series of beeps, letting her know that the alarm system was being deactivated.
ÂÂ
“Annie?†No answer. Sharon knew it probably wasn’t Annie; she never came to the office after work, unless it was an emergency. And she would never stop by without calling first, anyway. But, maybe… Sharon broke into a little smile. “Michelle? Is that you?
ÂÂ
“Hallo?†answered a heavily accented voice from the foyer a moment later. “Who is it here?â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon frowned for a second, slightly disappointed, but then shrugged. She slipped back on the high heels that she’d kicked off under her desk, and then stood and planted her fists in the small of her back, stretching until a series of loud pops ran along her spine. She stepped to her office door and pushed it open to find the custodian, Hector, at the alarm pad with his ever present bin of cleaning equipment.
ÂÂ
“Hello, Hector,†she said, and gave him a little friendly wave and a smile.
ÂÂ
Hector jumped about a foot in the air, grabbed a mop handle and waved it in her direction. When he saw who it was, he grinned sheepishly.
ÂÂ
“Ahh. Miz Chapman.†He cleared his throat and put down the mop. “You scared me, a little.†He waved at the alarm pad. “The lights were on, but the…the alarm, it was turned on, too. I din’ know if an’one was still here.â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon smiled at him and pulled her long, tan cashmere overcoat from the coat rack.
ÂÂ
“I’m sorry Hector. I didn’t mean to startle you. Debbie armed the door when she left, so no one could sneak in.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh. Ho-kay.â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon buttoned her coat and wrapped a light silk scarf around her neck. Annie had given her the scarf as a Christmas present a few years ago. Not much for the snow, but the weather forecast that morning had been for sunny skies with a warming trend, highs in the low 50’s. Sharon had dressed for her daily tennis match and brought a light business suit and a skirt to change into, after. She wondered how the hell she was going to manage to get to her car wearing her heels if there was snow or ice on the ground.
ÂÂ
“I was just finishing up Hector. Everybody else has gone home for the night.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Staying late again, heh?â€Â
ÂÂ
“You know me.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Ehh, you say you always there for…for your people.†Hector smiled at her. His English was getting much better.
ÂÂ
“Yes. Exactly.â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon nodded at his grin and went back to her desk to shut off her laptop. She packed the computer away in her briefcase and tidied up; then locked her desk drawers and stepped out of the office with her briefcase in hand. She said good night to Hector, who was busy emptying the trash cans and filling them with new plastic bags. Sharon pulled on a pair of soft, brown leather gloves, and then searched her purse for her car keys.
ÂÂ
“Hector, I’ll get out of your way. You’ll reset the alarm?†He nodded. “See you next week.â€Â
ÂÂ
“’Night, Miz Chapman.â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon gave him another smile, and walked outside into the cold.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
           The snow was just starting to stick, the wet pavement was still relatively free of ice, and the air felt brisk and clean. Even so, Sharon stepped carefully around a few ice-crusted puddles so she wouldn’t slip and beeped the remote key pad to her new Beamer. The door locks ka-chunked and the car alarm de-activated from yards away. She stepped around a big, white utility van.
ÂÂ
Hector must be doing pretty well for himself, Sharon mused. He used to carry his supplies around in a beat up old pickup.
ÂÂ
The van’s engine was still ticking, and steam evaporated from the hood. Sharon passed through a curtain of steam, then opened her car door and tossed her briefcase onto the passenger seat, pausing with her door open for a moment to enjoy the crisp winter air after being cooped up in her office for so long. She closed her eyes and let the snowflakes fall on her face. She looked up at the sky. The thick clouds were bright in the night sky, lit from behind by the moon, puffy like wispy balls of cotton.
ÂÂ
Sharon stuck out her tongue, feeling like a child again. She giggled happily, like when she was a child making angels in the snow with her father. The snowflakes drifted into her open mouth, melted on her tongue.
ÂÂ
She opened wide, and said, “Aaaahh.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Sharon looked back at her office. So much work, trying to help others.
ÂÂ
She sighed, thinking of Amy and Jenny, and wondered where she’d gone wrong raising Amy. After all the crap the two of them had gone through together, how had Amy become exactly the kind of meek, abused woman Sharon had made her life’s work to try to help?
ÂÂ
In Sharon’s mind, at some point Amy had become a victim. She was timid and withdrawn, co-dependent and clinging desperately to a cheating, drunken sham of a man who blatantly detested her. At least Jenny had spunk, thank God; she had a zest for life that Amy had never been able to muster. Sharon fervently hoped that Jenny could keep that spark safe so it could bloom and grow, and that life or her family wouldn’t pound it from her.
ÂÂ
And me? She realized. Now I’ve no life for myself. The magical spell from a moment ago was suddenly broken.
ÂÂ
Sharon reminded herself again that this is what she’d wanted, all the effort spent, the sacrifice, the sweat and tears. This was her life, not just her work. She and Anne had found the offices years ago, right after they’d passed the bar exams. They had both been working for a large downtown law firm, and were both miserable. Anne found the office when she’d taken a business lunch with a client, a dentist who was retiring. The building was way out in the ‘burbs, in a low-income side of town, as far from the ritzy downtown firms as they could get.
ÂÂ
It was perfect.
ÂÂ
That afternoon, Anne had returned from lunch, breathless and talking a mile-a-minute. Sharon remembered grinning like a fool; charmed by Anne’s exuberance. They made an appointment and went back to see the building that night, right after they got off work. They’d bought the property the next week. The dentist gave them a great price and let them rent to own the property, otherwise they never could’ve afforded to buy it. As soon as the ink dried on the contract, the dentist high-tailed off to Florida with his wife and Sharon and Anne moved in and began the tedious business of cleaning up, taking care of most of the renovations and repairs themselves to save money.
ÂÂ
They’d been there ever since.
ÂÂ
Over the years they’d added a few employees here and there: Debbie Jones, their receptionist, who had been one of their first clients, Hector Aria, who had been with them now for the last several years and who took care of all the general building maintenance. And finally, Michelle, their sharp new junior partner, who had joined the firm only a year or so ago, right out of law school.
ÂÂ
Sharon smiled again thinking of Michelle, and actually blushed as a warm, smoky wetness spread between her legs.
ÂÂ
Then her stomach growled. She looked down, patted it, and said, “Guess the snow might not be quite enough, huh?†Another series of growls. Insistent.
ÂÂ
Must be remembering Anne’s request for a pizza dinner, Sharon decided. “Okay, okay. Let’s go get something to eat. Chicken salad sound all right?â€Â
ÂÂ
Growl.
ÂÂ
Laughing to herself, Sharon snuck a last look up, then got in her car and pulled out of the parking lot. She never noticed the van as it started up, turned on its lights, and followed, slipping into traffic behind her.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
           Sharon turned on her radio. Soft jazz filled the car, and she hummed along with the tunes. She eased to a stop at a red light, then turned north and drove for about a mile. The snow patted her windshield, creating little patterns, and then the wipers would flick the flakes away. She bobbed her head in time to the music, humming away, careful of the slick streets when she merged with the few other cars that were out, braving the weather.
ÂÂ
A few minutes later, Sharon pulled into the slushy parking lot of a big, twenty-four hour grocery store. The lot was almost deserted, due to the hour or the snow, Sharon wasn’t sure. She pulled past some construction equipment that was blocking the first few rows of parking spots, sighed, and parked as close to the doors as she could, just next to an old, rusting Toyota. She shut off the lights and the wipers, turned off the ignition, and took her keys and her purse and stepped out into the cold. She beeped the alarm, locking her car, and walked inside, past a couple having a heated argument in another language.
ÂÂ
The couple marched straight to the Toyota as the store’s automatic sliding doors smacked closed behind Sharon. They continued their argument, shouting at each other over the hood of the Toyota, until she took an apple out of a shopping bag and threw it at the man. The apple caromed off his forehead and bounced under the car. He glowered at her with cold eyes, but unlocked the car doors. They got in the car and roared out of the lot, fishtailing out into the road with a spray of slush, leaving a puff of exhaust in their wake.
ÂÂ
The lot was quiet again, except for a muffled buzz from a flickering streetlamp, until the white van pulled in a few moments later and parked in the newly vacant spot.
ÂÂ
The driver killed the engine and shut off the headlights, and waited.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
           Inside the store, Sharon grabbed a red plastic shopping basket and looped the handles over her arm. She started her shopping in the produce aisle and grabbed a crisp head of green lettuce, a red onion, a couple ripe tomatoes and a small cucumber. She found some delicious honey-mustard dressing that was bottled by a local restaurant, and took two jars. Then she went to the back of the store to the meat section, winding her way around a few tired-looking employees and boxes and boxes of merchandise waiting to be restocked. She didn’t notice any other customers, and the employees ignored her.
ÂÂ
           At the freezers, Sharon picked up a package of fresh chicken breasts, then hummed a little tune on her way back to the coolers and found some coffee ice cream. She completed her circuit at a small rack of wines. Sharon read the labels and selected a nice Red, changed her mind for something a bit less expensive, then changed her mind again and headed to the checkout stands.
ÂÂ
Out of about twenty stands there was only one with its light on. A small cow-bell sat on the edge of the conveyor belt. A note attached to the bell read: For cashier, please ring the bell once. Be nice – thanks, Management. Sharon emptied her basket onto the conveyor belt, stored the empty basket under the counter, and rang the bell, just once.
ÂÂ
A skinny Asian woman with lank, greasy hair and a bad complexion peered over a rack of cereal boxes and gave Sharon a sour look.
ÂÂ
She picked at her scalp and shouted, “You ready?â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon nodded. “Yes, thank you.â€Â
ÂÂ
The woman took her time, moseying over and wiping her grubby hands on a stained green apron tied over blue jeans and a black polo shirt. She scratched her head with the tip of a dirty finger, flicking at the top of her scalp. Dandruff drifted out of her hair onto her shirt, blending in with a light dusting already clinging to her shoulders. A white nametag pinned to her apron read, Hi. My name is Vang. Vang had a button pinned just below the nametag: This WGL store is proudly employee owned. A big smiley face wrapped completely around the slogan, letting everyone know that Vang was indeed, happy to own her own little part of WGL.
ÂÂ
Sharon smiled and opened her purse. “Can I have paper instead of plastic?â€Â
ÂÂ
“You bag yourself.â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon blinked. She cocked her head and said, “Um. Excuse me?â€Â
ÂÂ
Vang glared at Sharon like she was and idiot and pointed down to a bunch of shopping bags at the end of the belts.
ÂÂ
“You bag yourself,†she repeated.
ÂÂ
           Vang stepped behind the cash register and typed an access code into the ten-key pad, then flipped the small, swinging flap that separated two conveyor belts. She started to swipe the items under the scanner, one-by-one, beep-beep-beep, and shoved them all onto the conveyor belt on her other side. The belt engaged and scooted everything down to the end of the aisle.
ÂÂ
            “Oh. Okay.†I get it now. I get to bag everything myself. Swift on the uptake there, lawyer-girl. Sharon took out her wallet, slipped out her credit card and waited for the woman to finish.
Vang hit the total button on the register, put her hands on her hips. “Thirty-one dollars and ninety-seven cents.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Okay.†Sharon tried to swipe her card in the little machine hooked to the lip of the counter, but Vang shook her head.
ÂÂ
           “No, no, no. We don’t take no credit cards.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Sharon shook her head, confused. “What?†She pointed to the machine. “But this…â€Â
ÂÂ
           Vang shook her head again. “That for the food stamp card. They don’ make the paper stamp anymore; they put the money on a card that look like that.†She gestured at Sharon’s credit card and pointed to a large sign hung on the wall by the exit. “Credit company charge us lots of money to use, so the grocery too expensive. Cash or check only. No card.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Sharon couldn’t help rolling her eyes, but put away her card and opened her wallet. Vang picked at her head and glared at Sharon suspiciously; like a woman dressed nicely in a skirt and high heels (who’d already waited in line and rang a damn cowbell for help!) might suddenly freak out, grab the bottle of wine and make a run for it out into the ice and snow. Sharon pulled out a twenty dollar bill and a five, then dug around deep in her purse and a found a few crumpled singles and exactly ninety-seven cents in change buried at the bottom. She forked the money over.
ÂÂ
Once the cash was in her hands, Vang dropped most of the coins and had to scrounge around on the floor. When she finally stood up again she counted the money twice before she grunted, opened her till drawer and handed Sharon her receipt.
ÂÂ
           “You five cents short, but I find later.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Thanks,†Sharon said, but Vang had already disappeared, no doubt anxious to sprinkle more of her dandruff all over the cereal boxes.
ÂÂ
Sharon shook her head and quickly bagged her groceries, using paper instead of plastic. She slung her purse over her shoulder and hoisted the bag, then walked to the wide glass doors. They swooped open for her. A freezing gust of wind swirled her coat-tails around her calves. Sharon’s eyes watered and she blinked as the bitter cold settled over her like a frozen blanket.
ÂÂ
Great, Sharon thought. Now it’s windy too. The wind peppered Sharon with icy chunks of snow. She slipped on a slick spot on the pavement, turned her ankle, and fell on her ass.
ÂÂ
“Whouff!†Sharon sat in the middle of the parking strip for a second, with her legs stuck out straight in front of her. She started laughing. “Shit.â€Â
ÂÂ
Somehow, she’d managed to not drop her bag. Sharon set it down and carefully picked herself and brushed the snow off her butt. She bent over and retrieved her bag of food and trudged around the construction equipment to her car. Sharon hurried around a big white van that blocked the path to her car, her teeth chattering a mile-a-minute. She balanced her groceries on her knee while she searched her bottomless purse for her car keys. They weren’t there. Sharon swore under her breath, patted her coat, and found the keys in a pocket. She grumbled at herself and beeped the alarm.
ÂÂ
“Thank God for automatic locks,†she mumbled.
ÂÂ
Sharon opened the trunk and put away her groceries. She shut the trunk and her foot slid out from under her, banging her shin painfully on the bumper. She swore.
ÂÂ
“Owww…Dang it!â€Â
ÂÂ
That’s when someone grabbed her by the shoulder and said, “Hey lady? S’cuze me?â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon jumped, dropping her purse. She turned and slipped again, catching herself on the hood of her car. Stupid heels. She wondered if she’d forgotten something inside the store. “Wh-what?â€Â
ÂÂ
A man stood in front of her, bundled up in a heavy parka, a furry hood pulled up over his head. Sharon couldn’t see his face. He didn’t look like an employee.
ÂÂ
“Sorry, lady. Didn’t mean ta scare ya like that.â€Â
ÂÂ
The guy just stood there with his hands up, empty, except for what looked like a three-by-five index card. Sharon tried to collect herself, thought of the mace in her purse. She wondered if she could reach it. She caught the purse strap with the heel of her shoe and inched the bag closer. The man didn’t move.
ÂÂ
“What do you want?â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon reached down slowly, watching him, and felt for the purse. She found the strap, picked up the purse, and started backing towards her car door, when he looked at the card in his hand, and asked:
ÂÂ
“You Sharon Chapman?â€Â
ÂÂ
That stopped her. She looked at him quizzically.
ÂÂ
“Yes? How…how do you know my name?â€Â
ÂÂ
He stepped closer. “And you live at five-oh-one-two Cherry Lane?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Yes, I… How…how do you know where I live? Who are you?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh, we know a lot about you. We know you have a daughter named Amy Cole who lives in California with her daughter, Jenny, who’s just about to turn thirteen. You don’t want to see them hurt, do you?â€Â
ÂÂ
Oh, God, thought Sharon. She opened her purse and stuffed her hand inside, trying desperately now to find the canister of mace. What is this? Who is this guy? Her fingers found and closed on a slim plastic cylinder. Yes! She thought. Thank you, God. Thank you...
ÂÂ
“Stop. Please. I’ve got mace.â€Â
ÂÂ
The man stopped. “Oh, yeah?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Who the hell are you?â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon pulled out the canister and pointed it.
ÂÂ
The man laughed.
ÂÂ
Lipstick.
ÂÂ
“Shit!â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon dropped the lipstick and fumbled with her purse. The man took another step closer. He laughed again, a low rumble. Sharon shivered, not just from the cold.
ÂÂ
“What do you want? How do you know about my family?â€Â
ÂÂ
“You’ve got a secret admirer.â€Â
ÂÂ
“What?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Welcome to his fantasy, bitch.â€Â
ÂÂ
The man laughed again and reached for her as Sharon’s groping fingers finally wrapped around the mace. She yanked it out of the bag and dropped her purse, and had the nozzle halfway up when another man, huge and shaped like a mountain, stepped out of the passenger side of the van and wrapped a heavy, muscled arm around her shoulders.
ÂÂ
“Gotcha, bitch.â€Â
ÂÂ
 Sharon let out a pitiful squeak as a dirty rag smashed over her face. A cloying, sweet smell filled her nose and her lungs as she took a breath, trying to scream for help, and then the world spun around her. Her vision blurred.
ÂÂ
Sharon blinked back tears and thought, the snow’s in my eyes. I can’t see. I’m being kidnapped, and I can’t see. Please, someone help me.
ÂÂ
The mace fell from her nerveless fingers and bounced under the van. Sharon was vaguely aware of the sound of a heavy door sliding open. She heard someone say, “Get her purse and the mace. Take the car back to her house and dump it there. Wipe it down before you leave.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Right.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Do it right. You screw this shit up and you’re a dead motherfucker.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Okey-dokie.â€Â
ÂÂ
Silence. Sharon’s head began to swim. She was focused on the hand clamped around her mouth, the rag covering her nose. She remembered an old movie she’d seen once, where someone was kidnapped.
ÂÂ
Chloroform? Sharon thought wildly. Oh, God. Please, no…
ÂÂ
She kicked and tried to bite the hand covering her face, but just got another lungful of fumes for her trouble. More dark shapes – people? – gathered around her. Little bright spots started popping in front of her eyes. She heard the jangle of keys.
ÂÂ
“Fuck, man. Don’t need to look at me like that. I got it.â€Â
ÂÂ
“I’m serious. Do the shit right.â€Â
ÂÂ
“I said, I got it, dude. No problem-o.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Then move it before somebody sees us.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Nobody gonna see us with all this snow.†Another voice, grumbling.
ÂÂ
“I said, move it, motherfucker! You fuck this up and I’ll kill you myself.â€Â
ÂÂ
A car door slammed. Sharon heard an engine start, and felt the hot exhaust on her legs as her car was driven away.
ÂÂ
Sharon panicked. She couldn’t breathe. She squirmed and twisted, frantically clawing and biting at the hand clamped around her mouth. The man holding her just squeezed her tighter, keeping her locked in place like she was a child. Vaguely, as she drifted on the edge of consciousness, Sharon realized someone was laughing; a deep, awful laugh.
ÂÂ
“Fucking asswipe.†The arms around her shifted again, and Sharon was turned around. “Help me get this coat off her.â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon’s arms were yanked out in front of her, and someone pulled at her sleeves.
ÂÂ
“What about the gloves?â€Â
ÂÂ
She was shifted again, and the coat was ripped from her back. Sharon felt the cold bite into her body, enveloping her like a living thing.
ÂÂ
They took my coat. I want my coat back. It was expensive.
ÂÂ
“Leave ‘em on ‘till we can tie her up. I don’t want her scratching me.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Heh. Not yet, anyway, huh?†Grunt. “There. Got it. You want us to just drop it?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Toss it in the front seat. She won’t need it no more.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Cool.â€Â
ÂÂ
Through the haze of the chloroform, Sharon felt strong hands groping her. She tried to struggle, kicking feebly, but she was too weak to break free. Someone pulled at her skirt until it ripped up the back. A hand slid between her thighs and a finger poked at her crotch through the material of her nylons and panties, tearing a hole through, pulling and tearing at the material until her crotch was bare. Someone tore open her blouse and squeezed her breasts, painfully tweaking her nipples through her bra.
ÂÂ
“You better be filming this shit. This is what he’s payin’ for.â€Â
ÂÂ
“We’re on.â€Â
ÂÂ
Oh God…
ÂÂ
Sharon tried to scream, but only heard a weak, muffled groan escape her lips. She felt the man holding her getting excited, his cock digging into her ass. His breath was warm on her neck.
ÂÂ
A low whistle. “Damn. She’s not bad for an old bitch, ain’t she?â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon mumbled through the rag, “Mmmgrmph.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Nice legs.â€Â
ÂÂ
The Mountain rubbed his crotch against Sharon’s ass. It felt like he had a thick steel pole in his pants. “The profile said she runs and plays tennis almost every morning. Athletic.â€Â
ÂÂ
Profile? That struck a chord. They’ve been watching me.
ÂÂ
Someone continued to play with her breasts, squeezing her tits like they were kneading bread.
ÂÂ
Help me, please…
ÂÂ
“Stop it man. Shit. You’ll have plenty o’ those big old white bitch titties soon enough. Ya’ll ready for this?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Hell yes.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Let’s get the show on the road.â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon was lifted up. She felt like she was floating.
ÂÂ
Please, someone, help me…
ÂÂ
Sharon was pulled into the van. She felt the van list to the side as another person got in, then another, and another. Someone rolled the door shut, pounded the wall of the van and yelled “Drive!†A muffled voice shouted a reply. The engine rumbled when it turned over, and Sharon started to cry as they pulled out of the parking lot. Her eyes burned and the hot tears begin to roll down her cheeks.
A dark face swum in front of her blurry eyes, wearing a black ski mask. The man in the parka. Maybe. Sharon couldn’t tell.
ÂÂ
“Crying?†The Mountain whispered in her ear. He taunted her. “We gonna give you a lot more to cry ‘bout tonight, bitch. Bet on that.â€Â
ÂÂ
The big hand clamped on her mouth finally let go. Sharon heard a zipper open, and The Mountain sat down, pulling her roughly onto his lap. He was so big, her head rolled on his chest. She blinked back tears and squirmed in his lap until she felt a huge, warm cock wedged under her ass, throbbing.
ÂÂ
“P-please, don’t do this. Please let me go.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Time to give her the pills.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Got ‘em right here.â€Â
ÂÂ
The van was freezing. Sharon took a huge breath, trying to calm herself, and let it out slowly; a fine, foggy mist. She took a mental inventory. Her head was pounding and the world around her was blurry and spinning. She felt slightly nauseous. Sharon tried to focus, thought that she might throw up. She glanced around, trying to figure out who had taken her, what their plan was.
ÂÂ
“Please…what do you want from me?â€Â
ÂÂ
A chorus of laughter.
ÂÂ
Sharon looked around, squinting to see in the gloom. The van was easily large enough for the men to stand up straight. Including the man holding her, she counted five…maybe six or seven more? She couldn’t tell. Two of them held compact video cameras pointed right at her, on and recording.
ÂÂ
The interior of the van was grimy and smelled like vomit and stale cigar smoke. The small light mounted on the roof of the cab barely provided enough light to see. Thick rubber padding had been placed on all the walls and over the doors and ceiling. The floor was carpeted and covered with old cigarette burns. A long seat with torn vinyl covering stretched along the back wall. Strong metal bars spaced at even levels along the walls from the floor to the roof spanned the circumference of the van.ÂÂ
ÂÂ
“Hold her arms and spread her legs,†said the Mountain.
ÂÂ
Two of the men grabbed Sharon by wrists and slapped handcuffs on her, locking them tight enough that she cried out. They locked the free ends of the cuffs to the piping, and then they grabbed her ankles and pulled until she was sitting spread-eagled in the Mountain’s lap.
ÂÂ
“I…I can give you money. I don’t have a lot, but…â€Â
ÂÂ
“No cash?†Snort. “Saw the nice, new Beamer you was drivin’, bitch. And the new Jag your partner just bought? Damn if that didn’t set her back a fair chunk. Didn’t you hear me tell you we know all ‘bout you? We’ve seen your bank accounts. We know what kinda investments you got; everythin’. Don’t tell me you got no money.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Please!†Sharon heard the whine in her voice, and felt ashamed. “I don’t…â€Â
ÂÂ
Someone slapped her, rocking her head back and to the side. She tasted blood. The men laughed, and another blurry, masked face joined the crowd in front of her. The man pried apart Sharon’s mouth, and her eyes popped open with fear as they stepped closer.
ÂÂ
“Gggrhagggrrrmmmnn!â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon kicked and struggled as the parka man stuffed two light blue pills down her throat. He smashed her mouth shut, keeping her jaw locked tight and pinched her nose closed. He massaged her throat until Sharon choked and swallowed.
ÂÂ
“Damn, bitch. Cut it out. Shit ain’t gonna hurt you.†He held her firmly against him as she kicked and twisted and thrashed. Fresh tears spilled down her face and snot ran down her nose as the men finally stepped back.
ÂÂ
“Wh-what were those?†Sharon croaked. She tried to look over her shoulder at the Mountain. He smiled wickedly down at her through a panty-hose mask.
ÂÂ
“Somethin’ to help make your night more…fun.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Unnngh.†A moan came from the front of the van.
ÂÂ
“Sounds like your friends are finally waking up.â€Â
ÂÂ
“My friends…†Sharon stared at the vague shapes covered with an old blanket, lying on the floor of the van. One of the men yanked the blanket away, and stepped back so she could see.
ÂÂ
“Oh, my God.†She gasped.
ÂÂ
“Hand me that lube, yo’.â€Â
ÂÂ
The mountain wrapped his hands around Sharon’s waist and lifted her up, shifting his hips underneath her. She felt his cock slip down along the crack of her ass.
ÂÂ
“Hold her a sec.â€Â
ÂÂ
Strong hands held Sharon suspended above the seat, her arms and legs spread wide. She heard the wet sound of liquid being squirted from a tube, and then slurping, like lotion being rubbed on someone’s hands.
ÂÂ
“All right. I got her.â€Â
ÂÂ
The Mountain wrapped slick hands around her waist again, staining her white, silk blouse.
ÂÂ
“Let’s party.â€Â
ÂÂ
The thick tip of his cock wedged between her butt cheeks. Sharon screamed and tried to fight, kicking and jerking. She bled as the handcuffs bit into her wrists, scraping the soft flesh from her arms. The men held her ankles tight as she screamed and thrashed around. The Mountain squeezed her waist, holding her hips securely in place, digging his powerful fingers into her belly until she could barely breathe.
ÂÂ
“Get her feet up off the floor.â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon’s legs were pulled straight out and spread wide, exposing her pink cunt through the gaping hole in her torn nylons and panties. The men who weren’t holding her were quickly stripping off their clothes. They kept their masks on. The man who had been wearing the parka climbed up onto the seat next to Sharon, grabbed her by the hair and bent her head back. He shoved a small metal ring into her mouth and wedged it behind her teeth, propping her mouth wide open. He held her head bent towards him while he began to masturbate, rubbing his cock on her face, over her lips. Another man pushed between her trembling legs, his heavy, purple cock dangling almost halfway down his thighs. He ripped away the remains of her skirt, grabbed the bottle of lubricant and oiled up. Underneath her, the Mountain shifted his hips, pushing the tip of his penis further up into her asshole.
ÂÂ
“The other bitches are waking up.â€Â
ÂÂ
The Mountain laughed. “Good. Fuck them, too, and tape it all.â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon screamed again as he dropped her, when his huge dick punched into her clenched sphincter. Her screams were cut short as the other men took their cues, forcing their cocks into her open mouth and her unprotected pussy. Then the drugs kicked in, and it was all she could do to breathe as the men pummeled her body. Sharon barely noticed a new set of screams as the other men fell on the women lying on the floor of the truck.
ÂÂ

ÂÂ
Anne Laird’s day started badly, with a phone call from Michelle at the office at seven a.m. “I’m sleeping, goddamnit.†she grumbled.
ÂÂ
“Sorry to wake you, Anne, but we’ve got a problem with the phones and the computers again. I can’t reach Sharon, at home or on her cell. She’s probably at the fucking tennis courts. Can you come down here?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Shit.†She curled deeper into her covers. “Just call someone and have it fixed.â€Â
ÂÂ
“I already have somebody here, but I don’t know anything about this ancient, crappy phone system you two had installed. The repair guy needs to talk to one of you; and neither Debbie or I are authorized to sign off for the bill, anyway.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh crap.†Anne rolled over and rubbed her eyes. “Some partner.â€Â
ÂÂ
Michelle laughed. “Your rules, not mine.†She paused. “Anne, right now we can’t take any calls, and the computers won’t even boot up. It’s important, or I wouldn’t have called.â€Â
ÂÂ
“I know. I know.†Yawn. “Well, I’m up now. Let me grab a quick shower, and I’ll be there in half-an-hour. Can you get them started, at least? Show them where everything is?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Sure.â€Â
ÂÂ
Anne rubbed her forehead, thinking. “You know what?â€Â
ÂÂ
“What’s that?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Remember, a while back, Sharon and I had some problems with our laptops, and you fixed them for us? Sharon told me that her phones at home were acting up, making weird sounds when she’d get calls. Mine have been weird now and then, too.â€Â
ÂÂ
Anne paused, working up to her question, wondering if she was going to sound like the dumb, middle-aged, techno-ignorant bimbo she really was. Michelle was a whiz with all this electronic stuff. It was one of the reasons Sharon had hired her; on top of her outstanding school transcripts, a great interview and a few well-placed job references.
ÂÂ
Anne and Sharon had brought Michelle into their little family for some new blood; to help kick-start the office, and drag the firm along into the new millennium. Anne didn’t know squat about computers; she could barely turn hers on. But she really didn’t want Michelle to know that.
ÂÂ
Anne hated to admit it, but the woman intimidated her. She seemed to be able to do just about anything she put her mind to. At just shy of thirty, Michelle was already a better attorney than Anne could ever hope to be. Anne knew it, and she knew Michelle knew it too. Sometimes she wondered if Sharon noticed too. She hoped not, but lately Sharon had been so impatient and short-tempered around her, when she wasn’t just ignoring her…
ÂÂ
“Do you think we’ve got a virus in the computer system, or something like that?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Um.†Michelle paused. Anne heard a muffled male voice, and a rattling on the other end. “Anne, excuse me.â€Â
ÂÂ
More muffled conversation, like Michelle had put her hand over the phone. In her mind, Anne pictured Michelle laughing at her, along with the receptionist, Debbie, and the repair guys. But when she came back on the line, her voice was calm.
ÂÂ
“Sorry, the guy had a question.†Michelle cleared her throat and said, “I don’t see how. I mean, maybe, maybe there’s a virus in the computers, but that shouldn’t affect the phones. Not at your houses, at least. Besides, that was months ago.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh. Okay. Just a thought. But they’re hooked up together at the office, right?â€Â
ÂÂ
Silence. Anne could almost hear Michelle frowning over the phone. “Huh. Yeah. You’re right. I’ll ask the guy about it.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Good. Be there in a bit.†Wow. Maybe she wasn’t so dumb after all. Score one for the old broad. Anne almost broke the connection, but then, “Hey, Michelle?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Huh?â€Â
ÂÂ
“How are you talking to me if the phones are down?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Um, I’m on my cell, Anne.†This time there was no mistaking the laughter. “Go get some coffee on your way in. You sound a little groggy.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh. Right. Called on your cell phone. Sure.â€Â
ÂÂ
Shit. Anne stuck the receiver back in its base and rolled out of bed, feeling like a fool.
ÂÂ
How the hell did you ever get out of law school?
ÂÂ
She shivered and looked at her warm, rumpled covers with a kind of wistful longing that she didn’t even feel for sex or chocolate. She sighed.
ÂÂ
“Later.†She patted the mattress. “I’ll be back, and we can snuggle later. Okay?â€Â
ÂÂ
No one answered. The norm, as of late.
ÂÂ
Why aren’t you here with me, Sharon? What did I do?
ÂÂ
Anne stood and stretched, her old joints popping, and peeled off her silk nightie. She dropped the black nightgown onto the bed, sighed again, and padded naked into the bathroom to take a shower.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
Exactly forty minutes and a hot mocha later, Anne pulled into the parking lot of their office building. She parked next to a large utility van that she figured belonged to the phone guys, grabbed her purse and locked her car. Anne looked at the sky, frowning. The guy on the radio said it was supposed to be sunny out and warming up. But it was getting colder, and overcast.
ÂÂ
“Should of worn a suit.†Anne mumbled. She sipped her mocha as she breezed into the office, her light skirt twirling around her thighs.
ÂÂ
“Hey everybody.†Anne gave everyone her best, aren’t-you-impressed-by-me smile. The one that dazzled in court. “Everything fixed yet?â€Â
ÂÂ
Debbie was half-sitting, half-leaning on the edge of her desk, with her legs crossed and her hands folded demurely over her knee, twirling her shoe in a slow circle with the tips of her toes. Her tight pleated skirt was hiked up high enough to give a good view of the inside of her thighs, and her filmy white blouse was unbuttoned to the top of her bra, showing off her ample cleavage.
ÂÂ
She was busy flirting with a cute young black guy in jeans and a sweatshirt, with a heavy tool belt slung around his hips. The guy was scribbling notes on a clipboard and sneaking glances down Debbie’s blouse.
ÂÂ
Shameless hussy.
ÂÂ
Debbie winked, and Anne grinned at her boss as she stepped behind the desk. Another guy was hidden under Debbie’s desk, with his ass up in the air and his pants creeping down past his hairy butt-crack, mumbling something about the Goddamn phone cords. Michelle stepped out of Sharon’s office, beautiful and regal and perfect as always.
ÂÂ
How does she do it? Anne groaned inwardly. Not even a quarter to eight in the morning, and she looks like she just walked off the set of some photo shoot for hot, sexy young lawyers.
ÂÂ
Michelle was followed by another, huge black man carrying another clipboard tucked under his armpit. A patch sewn on his work shirt read Malcolm. He tapped a pen on the side of the clipboard, and had to duck his head to get under the door frame. It sounded like they were discussing the computers.
ÂÂ
Ever the good receptionist, Debbie cleared her throat and stated the obvious.
ÂÂ
“Hey Michelle? Annie’s here.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh. Finally.†Michelle gestured for her. “Anne, this is going to take a while.†She waved at the man with the clipboard, who walked over. “Guys, this is Anne Laird, one of the senior partners.â€Â
ÂÂ
The big, big man smiled down at Anne.
ÂÂ
“Mrs. Laird.†He checked his clipboard then tucked it under his arm, taking the other clipboard from the man who’d been flirting with Debbie. “We’re gonna have to shut down all the equipment for a bit and run some diagnostics on your phone systems. We’ll get to the computers afterwards. Miss Roberts and Miss Jensen informed me that you can take care of most of your business today using your cell phones. Is that right?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh, um, Miss Laird, please.†Anne’s smile faded. “Is it really going to take that long?â€Â
ÂÂ
“We’ll be as fast as we can.†He shrugged. “But it takes as long as it takes. You know?â€Â
ÂÂ
“I suppose so.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Cool.†He handed her the pair of clipboards. “Sign here and here for me, and we’ll get started. We’ll need your signature again when we finish, too.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh. Okay.†Anne took his pen and signed where he pointed. “I’ve got a meeting at three this afternoon and I won’t be back in the office until Tuesday. What if you don’t finish by then?â€Â
ÂÂ
“I guess we can get your partner to sign for the bill.â€Â
ÂÂ
“All right.†Anna turned to Michelle. “Did you get in touch with Sharon, then? Will she be in?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Mm-hmm,†Michelle nodded. “She was at the club, like always. She had her phone in her locker; she called back a little while ago. She’s meeting a new client this morning, but she’ll be in by one or so.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Okay.†Anne flashed the smile again and handed back the clipboard. “Well. I guess I’ll go get ready for my meeting. Let us know if you need anything.â€Â
ÂÂ
“You got it. Can you show me where your phone lines enter the building?â€Â
ÂÂ
Anne and Michelle exchanged glances. Anne shrugged. She had no idea. “Right this way.†Michelle said, and took the repairmen back into the storage room.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
           At noon, Michelle knocked on Anne’s office door. She was carrying a huge bouquet of flowers and a tiny pink envelope.
ÂÂ
           “Anne? These came for you.â€Â
ÂÂ
           She gave Anne a shit-eating grin and put the flowers on her desk. Anne stared at them.
ÂÂ
           “Omigosh! Who…†She looked at Michelle. “Who are they from?â€Â
ÂÂ
           “I don’t know. Debbie just went to lunch, so I signed for them.†Michelle passed her the card. “You tell me.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Flowers? For me? Anne took the envelope with shaking hands. She slit the seal open with her fingernail and pulled out a small, plain card. Anne dropped the envelope in her trashcan and opened the card. She broke into a wide, silly grin.
ÂÂ
           “What?†Michelle looked like she wanted to pop. “What does it say?â€Â
ÂÂ
           Anne handed her the card. It was blank on the outside, but there were words printed under the fold: You have a secret admirer. Welcome to the fantasy.
ÂÂ
           Michelle read the card and grinned at Anne.
ÂÂ
“A secret admirer? You little devil, you.†Then she turned it over and read it again. Michelle scowled. “What does welcome to the fantasy mean?â€Â
ÂÂ
           “No idea.†Anne shrugged and sniffed the flowers. They were beautiful.
ÂÂ
Michelle handed her back the card and put her hands on her hips. “So?â€Â
ÂÂ
           Anne grinned at her. “So what?â€Â
ÂÂ
           Michelle nodded at the flowers. “Who is it?â€Â
ÂÂ
           Sharon. A warm burst of joy flowered in Anne’s chest. My Sharon sent me flowers. But she replied, “No idea.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Oh, c’mon Anne. Real guys don’t just send flowers out of the blue. That only happens in cheesy movies. Give it up. Who are you seeing, that you haven’t told any of us about?â€Â
ÂÂ
           Anne blushed. “Nobody. Really. This is a huge surprise.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Yeah. Sure it is. Come on, Annie. You can tell me.â€Â
           Michelle studied her. “Ahh. I know. You wouldn’t be going to see this secret admirer at a ‘meeting’ this afternoon, would you?†Michelle made quotation marks in the air with her fingers when she said meeting.
ÂÂ
           Anne laughed. “Well, now that you’ve figured it out…yeah. I’ll fess up. You’re right. Little old Mr. Rodriguez is really my secret love.â€Â
Michelle grinned and stepped out into the hall, then turned on her heel and peeked back through the door.
ÂÂ
“But I’ll be watching you like a hawk.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Michelle waggled her finger at Anne, and left. Anne took a long stemmed rose from the vase and sat down in her chair, grinning like a fool. She tickled her nose with the soft, red petals, enjoying the sweet fragrance of the flower.
ÂÂ
           My secret admirer. Sharon, you silly thing. Anne hummed a silly little tune under her breath. My secret admirer. Welcome to the fan-ta-see.
ÂÂ
           Anne brushed the flower back and forth under her chin, crossed her legs and leaned back in the chair. On her desk, all the phone lines blinked on once, then went out completely. Lost in her own little fantasy, Anne never noticed.
ÂÂ
***
          ÂÂ
           A bit after two, Anne realized she’d been daydreaming for way to long, put the flowers on top of her file cabinet and decided to get back to work. Her meeting with the Rodriguez family was in about an hour, and she hadn’t prepped at all.
ÂÂ
Dammit, Annie. Get a grip. You’re acting like you’re a kid.
ÂÂ
She pried herself back to reality, packed up her notes and locked her briefcase. She looked at her computer, then remembered that the repair guys had everything turned off. They’d left for lunch an hour ago, and were still gone.
Anne picked up her flowers and the briefcase, and turned off the office lights. Sharon still hadn’t come in yet. Debbie was sitting at her desk, busy reading a woman’s magazine. On the cover, an attractive, fifty-ish woman, happy and barefoot and dressed in a turtleneck and rolled up khaki pants, cavorted alone on the beach. Good thing it’s been a slow day. Debbie smiled at the flowers and put down the magazine.
ÂÂ
“Nice to see you’re earning your keep.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Debbie snorted. “Look at you, Lover Girl.†She gave Anne the once-over. “You, swishin’ into the office in your little skirt, workin’ your bad self. I saw you smile at that little boy I was flirting with this morning.†She sighed theatrically. “You hot, rich older women catch all the guys.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Rii-ght. That’s me. Next, I’ll be posing for a girlie magazine.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Jeez. Don’t let Sharon catch you saying that.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Sharon the Man Hater, I know,†giggled Anne. “It’s all an act.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Annie, If she was any tighter, she’d pop.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Seriously, Deb. You know Sharon would be the first one of us to rip off her clothes if some hunk asked her out.â€Â
ÂÂ
“You think she wears baggy boxes under her business suits?†Debbie asked. They both laughed. Debbie wiped her eyes. “I’m not very nice, am I?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Evil as all get-out. Makes me wonder what the two of you say about me when I’m not around.†Anne leaned further over the desk and lowered her voice. “And by the way, I did notice you flirting with that boy this morning.â€Â
ÂÂ
Debbie made a ‘fsst’ sound. “I was not.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Hon, you were showing so much cleavage, you were ready to pop out of that blouse.†Anne grinned. “He was sweating so much, I’m surprised he didn’t stain your blouse.â€Â
ÂÂ
Debbie blushed. “He was cute.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Mm-hmm,†Anne agreed. “If he comes back, are you gonna sneak into the back room with him?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Annie! I wouldn’t!†Debbie faked a shocked look, then giggled. “Not during business hours, anyway.â€Â
ÂÂ
They both laughed again, then Anne asked, “Hey, is Michelle gone for the afternoon?â€Â
ÂÂ
“I don’t think so, but she said she was going to run some errands.â€Â
           “Will you make sure Sharon knows about all that’s going on, and that they need her to sign the invoice?â€Â
           “Okay.†Anne smiled again and glanced up at the clock on the wall. “Well, I’ve got to go. Have a good holiday, Deb.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “You too, Annie. Thanks again for the card and the bonus.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Anytime. See you in a week.â€Â
ÂÂ
Annie picked up her stuff again. The young phone guy opened the door just as she was starting to leave. Debbie turned a bright shade of red, and grinned.
ÂÂ
“Careful in the back room.†She smiled at the man, then to Debbie, whispered, “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.â€Â
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
           Debbie watched Annie walk out to her car. Annie gave the young hottie that big, toothy, thousand-megawatt smile of hers, and then Debbie watched him stare at Annie’s ass swooshing while he held the door for her. She gritted her teeth.
ÂÂ
           Damn tan, skinny, fake-boob, face-lifted bitch. Debbie undid another button on her blouse. Beat this, Annie, she thought, and tried her own smile.
ÂÂ
           “Hey,†he said, buckling his tool belt back on.
ÂÂ
           “Hey yourself.†Debbie leaned to her side, trying to look past him. “Where is everybody.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Huh? Oh. They had, uh, another call. An emergency. I guess they thought I could handle everything here okay myself.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “I bet you can.â€Â
ÂÂ
Debbie wiggled in her chair, bunching her boobs together. The guy smiled at her and walked right by her into the backroom. Debbie watched him go, open-mouthed. He’d just ignored her best shot. Annie’s voice came back to her. Are you going to sneak into the back room with him?
           Debbie stood and stepped quietly to the door. She peered through the front window and checked the parking lot. All clear except for the service van.
ÂÂ
Annie, I wouldn’t! Not during business hours, anyway.
ÂÂ
Debbie took a deep breath, crossed herself, and stepped into the back.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
           The kid was holding what looked like a big, orange toy phone to his ear. He was at the phone box, poking at wires. The room was cold. Debbie grabbed a heavy porcelain coffee mug from the dish rack and poured herself a stiff cup of black coffee. She turned and lounged against the counter, watching him and sipping her drink. He finished with the toy phone and hung it back on his belt.
ÂÂ
           “Would you like a cup?†She offered.
“Oh, no. Thanks.†He gave her a toothy grin. “I’ve got enough mocha on my outside without putting any more inside. If you know what I’m sayin’.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Debbie smiled. He went back to his box. She shuffled her feet, wondering what to say now.
ÂÂ
           “I, uh, I noticed you looking at my boss when she left.â€Â
ÂÂ
           The guy blinked at her. “She’s fine.†He shrugged. “For an older bitch. Just couldn’t help m’self. You know?â€Â
ÂÂ
           “You were staring at her butt.†Oh, gawd. Did she just really say that?
ÂÂ
           The guy blinked again, but smiled. “Yeah, well. She got a nice one. Not too big or round, you know, but juicy. Looked damn fine in that little skirt she was wearin’.†He gave Debbie a weird look. “She got some perky titties and some nice legs on her, too.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Really?†Debbie was dumbfounded. She was talking to this stranger about her boss’s ass. “You think so?â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Yeah. Well, you know. Really, she’s kinda skinny for my taste.†He waggled his eyebrows at Debbie and moved his gaze slowly over her body. “I like an ass that if you slap it, it’ll slap you right back. You know what I’m sayin’? Like yours.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Debbie gaped at him, her mouth in a wide ‘O’. “Like…mine?â€Â
ÂÂ
           He smiled and stepped close enough that Debbie had to crane her neck back to see his face.
ÂÂ
“Yeah.†He took the mug out of her hands and set it on the counter, then put his hands on her hips. “Like yours.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh.†She said. Her whole body started to tingle when he touched her. “Oh. Okay.â€Â
ÂÂ
They stood like that for a second, and then he pulled her close to him. Debbie pressed her hands on his chest. She was having trouble breathing, and she felt a little dizzy.
ÂÂ
“Um,†she said, and he kissed her, gently pushing his tongue into her mouth. He tasted like mint. Debbie’s eyes shot open and she almost pushed him away.
ÂÂ
Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.
ÂÂ
Debbie heard a low growl come from deep within her throat. She threw her arms around his neck and began sucking desperately on his tongue. He pulled her closer, and she felt his cock dig into her belly. His hands cupped her ass, then came up and pulled open her blouse, popping buttons all the way down to her waist. He grabbed her breasts and squeezed them hard. Debbie backed up a bit, breathless, her chest heaving.
ÂÂ
“Hey, we shouldn’t…â€Â
ÂÂ
“Shouldn’t what?â€Â
ÂÂ
“You…you know.â€Â
ÂÂ
“No. What?â€Â
ÂÂ
Debbie didn’t know what to do. He had her pinned her up against the counter. Her skirt had rucked up around her thighs, and he’d pushed his hips between her slightly spread legs.
ÂÂ
She was already wet.
ÂÂ
“I…I don’t even know your name. I…â€Â
ÂÂ
“I’m Willy.†Willy pointed down at his crotch. “And this here is little Willy.â€Â
ÂÂ
Debbie looked down, and stared at the huge bulge poking out of his pants.
ÂÂ
“Oh.†She said.
ÂÂ
Willy followed her gaze, and smiled. “You like that? Here.†He took her hand and guided it down, made her cup him. “Take it out, if you want to meet it. Go on.â€Â
ÂÂ
She grinned weakly. “It’s, uh, not so little, is it?â€Â
ÂÂ
He put his hands on Debbie’s shoulders and pushed her down, until she was kneeling with her head level with his crotch. “Go on girl, it won’t bite ya.â€Â
ÂÂ
She took a deep, long breath, and let it out with a whoosh. Oh God, she whispered to herself, and unzipped his pants. She licked her lips, then reached in and pulled him out.
ÂÂ
“Oh. My.â€Â
ÂÂ
Debbie held his penis in her hands and stared. It was enormous. She’d seen a horse’s cock once, when she was little. That was the only comparison she could make with the chunk of meat throbbing in her hand. ‘Little Willy’ was thick as her wrist, and easily as long as her forearm. It was a dark brown, with a pink underside were it had been circumcised.
ÂÂ
“Oh, yeah, baby. Little Willy likes you old white ladies just fine.†He cupped the back of her head. “Go on, girl. Give him a kiss.†Willy laughed. “You do, he’ll love you forever.â€Â
ÂÂ
Debbie swallowed hard. She looked up. Willy smiled down at her, stroking her hair.
ÂÂ
Oh God. What am I doing?
ÂÂ
Debbie squeezed her eyes shut, and opened her mouth wide.
ÂÂ
“Oh, fuck yeah.â€Â
ÂÂ
Willy pushed with his hips. The head of his cock slipped into her mouth, filling it completely. It was hot and pulsing, and she licked it. Willy used her ears as handles and pulled her face closer. Debbie gagged as he slid further in, pushing himself down her throat. Her jaw cracked loudly, and then Willy was talking to her.
ÂÂ
“That’s a good white bitch. Suck the big, black, donkey dick. That’s right, baby.†He worked himself slowly into her mouth, in-and-out, in-and-out. Ropes of spit oozed out of her mouth and dripped down her chin as he fucked her face. “Oh, yeah. You like it like that, baby? You like suckin’ that big, black cock?â€Â
ÂÂ
Debbie felt herself getting hot. Willy pushed himself all the way into her mouth and held her face against his pubes. She couldn’t breathe. He used her ears and wiggled her face against him. Debbie’s hands shoved at his hips, but he held her tightly in place.
ÂÂ
“Oh, fuck. That’s what I’m talkin’ about. Hell, yes.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Mmm-mmm-mmm!†Debbie started to jerk, trying to get air, and he eased up for a second, then started pumping her face, hard and fast. His balls smacked into her chin as he fucked her. “MMM-MMM-MMM!â€Â
ÂÂ
“C’mon bitch. I wanna see you play with yourself while I fuck your face.†Slap-slap-slap. “Do it. Rub that pink fucking pussy. C’mon.â€Â
ÂÂ
Debbie groped for the hem of her skirt, and pulled it up around her waist. She slipped her hand under the waistband of her pantyhose and into her panties, past her thatch of pubic hair, and found her pussy.
ÂÂ
Slap-slap-slap. “Shove those fingers in your snatch, bitch.â€Â
ÂÂ
Debbie did what she was told, first one finger, then two, then three. She shoved them inside herself in time with his thrusts.
ÂÂ
“AwwHooo.†Willy stopped suddenly, and pulled out of her mouth with a jerk. “Awright. Time to cum in the white bitch’s pussy.â€Â
ÂÂ
Debbie was gasping for air. Willy picked Debbie up easily and bent her over the counter, pushing her head into the sink. He shoved her skirt back up over her ass, then unbuckled his belt and let his pants fall to the floor. He grabbed a handful of Debbie’s nylons and panties, and ripped. She was getting scared.
ÂÂ
“Oh shit, please...Willy, be careful…â€Â
ÂÂ
“Shut the hell up.†He spanked her ass, leaving a red, hand-shaped mark on her butt-cheek. He smacked his dick on her butt, stuck the tip between her legs, and wiggled his hips in a circle until the head of his dick lodged in her pussy.
ÂÂ
“Willy, please…â€Â
ÂÂ
“Here we go, bitch, ready or not!â€Â
ÂÂ
Willy rammed his cock into her as hard as he could, all the way in, smacking her ass with his belly as he pierced her; like a hot, thick needle punching into her cunt.
ÂÂ
Debbie screamed.
ÂÂ
And then she came.
ÂÂ
Just like that.
ÂÂ
Willy bent over her and wrapped his arms around her. His hands cupped her breasts and squeezed her nipples through her bra. He pulled her blouse open all the way down to her waist and yanked on her hair while he fucked her. Her legs turned weak and wobbly. Debbie thought the only thing keeping her up was his dick shoved a foot deep in her cunt. He never stopped talking while he fucked her.
ÂÂ
“That’s a good, tight snatch, white bitch.â€Â
ÂÂ
“I’m gonna spooge right into your old pussy.â€Â
ÂÂ
“After this, I’m fittin’ ta bust a nut in your fat ass, too, ya old bitch.â€Â
ÂÂ
Debbie came again. Willy pulled out and forced himself into her ass, whispering awful, nasty things to her the whole time. He fingered her pussy and her clit.
ÂÂ
Debbie screamed again as he punched into her rectum.
ÂÂ
“Move, Goddammit!â€Â
ÂÂ
He smacked her butt, pushing and pulling her by ass, making her work. Debbie moaned and ground her ass against him in a slow circle. Her ass muscles began to relax, letting him slip further inside.
It took Willy almost another half hour to ‘bust his nut.’
ÂÂ
By then, he had Debbie on the floor with her face buried into the carpet, begging for him to cum inside her. He was grinding his dick painfully around in her ass, and when he finally came, he squeezed her breasts until they hurt. He let out a loud groan, jerked a few times, and then shoved her roughly off his cock and fell back against the counter.
ÂÂ
They stayed like that, breathing hard, until they heard the office door open, and Sharon’s voice.
ÂÂ
“Hello? Anyone here?â€Â
ÂÂ
Panic. Debbie picked herself up off the floor and stumbled to the doorway, trying to button up her blouse and smooth back her hair. She peeked around the corner. “Uh, Hi. I’m back here, Sharon. Just, uh, I’m, umm, making some fresh coffee.â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon was already heading down the hall to her office. She barely glanced over at Debbie. “That sounds fantastic. Will you bring me a cup?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Uh, sure. Okay. Eeoowp!†Debbie jumped. Willy was grinning up at her. He’d inched over to her and slid his hand back up her skirt. She smacked his hand away and whispered, “Knock it off!â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon looked back from her door. “What?â€Â
ÂÂ
Debbie smiled. “Hmn? Oh, nothing.â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon nodded and stepped into her office. Debbie started to shake. Willy played with his cock, still slick with her juice.
ÂÂ
“Oh, God. That was close.†She poured a cup of coffee into Sharon’s favorite mug. “Will you put that thing away? My God. My boss is here.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Why?†Willy stood up and let his cock hang. “Heh-heh. Maybe she’ll want a bite outta little Willy, too. I got more’n enough dark meat to split between two horny old white ‘ho’s.â€Â
ÂÂ
Debbie stared at him for a second, and then shook her head. She smoothed out her rumpled skirt and looked at herself in the mirror.
ÂÂ
“Oh. Oh, no.â€Â
ÂÂ
She was a mess. Debbie groaned and tried to fix her hair again, then gave up and let it hang down to her shoulders. She noticed that she’d buttoned her blouse wrong, and it was wet from her saliva.
ÂÂ
“Oh, shit.â€Â
ÂÂ
Debbie ran some cold water on a towel and frantically patted her red, sweaty face, then fixed her blouse and gave herself another once-over.
ÂÂ
Better, she sighed. A bit.
ÂÂ
She looked at Willy, who had moved to a chair, lounging at the break table.
ÂÂ
“Don’t forget to get her to okay the work.†He flopped his dick at her. “Then why don’t you come back here for some sloppy seconds?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Don’t you know when to quit?†Exasperated.
ÂÂ
“Don’t need no attitude from you, bitch. You don’t get her signature, I’ll just leave now.â€Â
ÂÂ
Debbie rolled her eyes. “Oh, Jesus. Fine.â€Â
ÂÂ
Debbie took the coffee and spun out of the room, grabbing the clipboard with all the paperwork as she stormed by her desk. She muttered to herself on the way down the hall, and found Sharon seated at her desk, scanning through a ream of legal documents. She’d taken off her coat and hung it on the coat rack, and her purse was on the leather couch next to her desk. She’d turned on the heat in her office; hot air gushed into the room from the floor vents.
ÂÂ
“Cold outside?†Sharon didn’t answer. Debbie put on a smile, set the coffee on Sharon’s desk, and tried to ignore the warm air blowing up her skirt. “Sharon?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Mm?†Sharon didn’t look up.
ÂÂ
“Uh, The service paperwork needs your signature.â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon nodded and uncapped a pen. Debbie handed her the clipboard. Sharon signed, handed it back, and never looked away from her work.
ÂÂ
“Thanks.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Mm.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Okay, then. Enjoy the coffee. I’ll let you get back to work.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Mm.â€Â
ÂÂ
Debbie backed out of the room. She knew this Sharon mood. She must be working on a new hardship case. Debbie had a feeling that Sharon would sit at her desk until the sun came up, unless there was an earthquake or she needed to pee. She doubted that the coffee would even get touched.
ÂÂ
She carried the clipboard back to the break room. Willy was still in the chair, talking on his big orange phone, and his dick was still hanging out of his pants.
ÂÂ
“Hey, hold on a sec, man. The bitch is back.â€Â
ÂÂ
Debbie stared at him.
ÂÂ
“Thought you were gonna bring me dessert.â€Â
ÂÂ
She shook her head and marched over, tossing the clipboard onto the table. Willy looked at it, shuffled through the papers. He put the phone back to his ear, wiggled his eyebrows at Debbie, and gestured to his cock. She put her hands on her hips and glared at him. He grinned.
ÂÂ
“Hey, ‘yo. Signed and delivered, man.†He listened. “Yep.†Debbie turned to go, but he grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her towards him. “Hey! We ain’t done yet.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oww.â€Â
ÂÂ
Debbie tried to pull away, but Willy yanked her down to her knees and pulled her between his legs. His dick was already snaking up towards his belly.
ÂÂ
“She’s right here. Yeah.†He chuckled into the phone. “Yep. She sucks a mean dick, man.†He put the phone on his shoulder and grabbed her by the hair again. “C’mon, bitch. I’m getting’ horny again. Open that sexy goddamn mouth and suck me off.â€Â
ÂÂ
Debbie’s face turned a deep shade of red. He wants me to blow him while he’s talking about me to someone on the fucking phone.
ÂÂ
“But, Sharon, my boss…†The tip of his dick hovered around at her lips, twitching. “She’s just in the other room. What…what if she comes in?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Shit. I said, if she wants some, there be plenty for her too.†Willy cupped the back of her head with his free hand. “Now c’mon, bitch. I’m on the fuckin’ phone, and this shit’s important.â€Â
ÂÂ
His penis twitched erect, and the tip of his cock brushed her face. Debbie wrapped her hands around the base of his cock and smiled. “My name’s Debbie.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Yeah. Right. Debbie.†He yanked her hair impatiently. “C’mon, Debbie.â€Â
ÂÂ
Debbie swallowed him with a sigh, her pussy wet and waiting for him. When did I turn into such a slut? She wondered.
ÂÂ
“About fuckin’ time. Shee-it.â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon never left her office, and didn’t bother them at all.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
           At half-past five, Debbie peeked back into Sharon’s office and cleared her throat.
           “Oh.†Sharon looked at the clock, surprised, and leaned her chair back. “Okay. You go ahead. I’m going to stay late tonight. Lock up?â€Â
           “Uh-huh. I guess so.†Debbie grinned. “I’ve gotta go catch my bus. Drive careful on your way home. It’s supposed to get nasty tonight. It’s already really cold out.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Okay. You have a good night.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “See you next week. Happy holidays.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Debbie left Sharon at her desk. She rubbed at her jaw as she walked back to the lobby. Her legs felt unsteady, and her crotch ached, but she was smiling like a fool. She couldn’t help it. Debbie put on her coat and grabbed her bag, then punched in her alarm code for the front doors, unlocked them and stepped outside. It was already dark out, and cold. Willy was there, smoking a tiny cigar and leaning against his work van. He grinned when he saw her.
ÂÂ
           “What are you still doing here?†She locked the doors behind her.
           “Jeez.†Debbie dropped her keys in her bag. “Uh, look. Today was really…fun. But right now, I need to catch my bus.†She shivered. “God. It’s freezing out here.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Why don’t I give you a lift? I got the van right here, already warmed up and everything.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Huh.†Debbie crossed her arms and stared at him, tapping her toe on the pavement. A snowflake drifted past her nose, and she made her decision. “Oh. Fine.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Don’t say thanks or nuthin’.â€Â
ÂÂ
           He held out his arm for her, and Debbie broke into a grin.
ÂÂ
           “Here, c’mon ‘round this side. We gotta get in through the sliding door.â€Â
           Debbie smiled at Willy as they walked around the van.
ÂÂ
           “So, did you mean all that stuff you talked while we, uh, y’know…â€Â
ÂÂ
           “You mean, the ‘bitch’ this, and ‘bitch’ that, ‘suck my fucking dick you old cunt’, all that sorta stuff?â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Yeah. Is that just…I don’t know…kinky for you?†She looked at the ground, and another snowflake plopped on the tip of her nose. “I mean, it sorta turned me on. Well, it really turned me on. But…â€Â
ÂÂ
Willy stopped and unlatched the van door. He slid the door open. “Yeah, bitch.†His eyes had gone cold and hard. “I did.†He blew a puff of smoke into her face. Debbie coughed, and waved the smoke away.
ÂÂ
She froze. “What…?â€Â
ÂÂ
Three big men wearing masks were in the van, waiting. One of the men had a video camera. Willy grinned down at her. “I meant every goddamn fucking word.â€Â
ÂÂ
Someone grabbed her from behind, and a huge, powerful hand clamped around her face and pressed a smelly rag hard over her mouth and nose. Debbie got a big whiff of chemicals, and her eyes watered and her head swam. She was picked up and shoved into the waiting arms of the masked men, who threw her onto the vans dirty floor.
ÂÂ
“Have fun, bitch.â€Â
ÂÂ
Willy slammed the door, muffling Debbie’s screams as the men began ripping off her clothes.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
           Anne’s meeting ran later than she expected, and when she was finally able to sneak out of the courthouse, snow had started to fall. Her stomach rumbled. For dinner, Anne had only been able to scarf a handful of potato chips that she’d bought from a vending machine, and now she was absolutely starving.
ÂÂ
Food. Must eat food. She giggled. Zombie Annie.
ÂÂ
Anne crossed the street at the light, then she jaywalked and cut diagonally through two lanes of backed-up traffic on the next street over to get to the parking structure where she’d left her car.
ÂÂ
I’m breakin’ the law.
ÂÂ
Always the rebel. She dodged around a few more cars stuck in the rush hour sprawl, causing a more than a few angry drivers to honk their horns. One fat guy with a grubby baseball cap was moved enough to roll his window down and scream something really nasty about the female gender.
ÂÂ
           Sharon would’ve gone over to the truck and read the a-hole his rights.
ÂÂ
Not Anne.
ÂÂ
She sweetly flipped him off and took the elevator up to her car without a word. She shared the elevator with a bum who had passed out, snoring in a puddle of urine. A flood of vomit stained the front his t-shirt. Anne wasn’t all that sure that either the pee or the barf was his. Probably, but you never know. She wrinkled her nose at the smell, stared up at the floor numbers and ignored him, feeling guilty.ÂÂ
ÂÂ
           The smell followed her out of the elevator. When she got in her car, Anne opened all the windows as far as they’d go, turned the heater to fan and cranked it up high. She sat for a minute, then drove halfway home in the freezing cold before rolling the windows up. She could still smell the bum. Anne lifted her arm and sniffed the sleeve of her coat.
ÂÂ
           “Oh! Pee-heeuw! She made a face. “Gotta do my dry-cleaning.†She rubbed her nose. The smell had absorbed into her clothes. “First thing Monday morning.â€Â
ÂÂ
At home, Anne turned into the driveway she shared with her neighbors, the Laddingtons. The driveway split at the back of their houses and led to separate detached garages. A white van was parked in their side of the driveway, quiet.
ÂÂ
Huh. That’s new.
ÂÂ
She eased her car past the back corner of the van. It was a tight squeeze, and she tried to be extra careful not to scrape her side mirror. The security flood light mounted on the side of her house flared on, bathing her car in a bright yellow light. Anne used the light to find her remote and opened her garage door. She stuck the remote back in her console and drove into the garage, letting the door close automatically behind her.
ÂÂ
Anne turned off the ignition, grabbed her keys, her briefcase and her bouquet, and let herself out of the garage through the side door. Across the driveway, the Laddingtons house was dark and empty, except for one light on in their living room.
ÂÂ
Where did they go for Christmas this year?
ÂÂ
Anne tried to remember as she unlocked her back door and let herself in. The Laddington’s had asked her to watch the house and feed their cats while they were gone, like always.
ÂÂ
Was it Rio? She couldn’t remember. Some good neighbor.
ÂÂ
Anne flicked on the lights and stepped into her kitchen.
ÂÂ
She carefully set the flowers down and dropped her briefcase on the counter.
ÂÂ
Gotta get these in some water, she reminded herself to remind herself, and then immediately shrugged out of her coat, letting it drop in a pool on the floor. She sniffed her suit jacket and her blouse and squinched her nose at the sour smell that clung to her. She kicked off her shoes, and the rest of her outfit followed. Anne stood in her kitchen naked, shivering and wondering what to do next.
ÂÂ
Dinner or shower? Hmm. Shower or Dinner?
ÂÂ
Anne’s stomach growled, but the shower won out. No way could she eat if she still smelled like pee and puke. She turned the water in the shower on to hot and let it run, then she sat on the toilet and farted.
ÂÂ
Anne giggled. Maybe that’s why you can’t get stay in a relationship, honey. You fart too much.
ÂÂ
She wiped and flushed, then waited a second for the blast of cold water to pass through the pipes before she stepped into the shower. She turned the water as hot as it would go and let it blast down on her neck and shoulders, easing her cramped muscles.
ÂÂ
Anne slowly relaxed and bathed, soaping and washing her hair twice. She even washed behind her ears.
ÂÂ
For you mom. She giggled at herself, sputtering water.
ÂÂ
Anne rinsed and turned the water off, pulled a fresh, soft towel from the rack and patted herself dry, then wrapped her hair up in the towel. Her stomach growled again as she was brushing her teeth. She patted her belly and spit, talking to herself in the mirror.
ÂÂ
“Right. Hold your horses.â€Â
ÂÂ
She found her nightgown right on the bed where she’d left it. The bed was still empty. And now the sheets were cold, too.
ÂÂ
She found that depressing.
ÂÂ
Anne realized that she was upset. The flowers had been such a nice surprise that she hadn’t realized that she’d neither seen or spoken with Sharon all day long.
ÂÂ
Dammit, she never called me back.
ÂÂ
At least she’d heard Sharon’s voice when she called to leave the message inviting her to dinner. She figured the flowers had been a sort of peace offering, Sharon’s way of apologizing after their last blowup. Annie was hoping she could return the sentiment.
ÂÂ
Oh, Sharon. I’m so sorry. Please call.
ÂÂ
Deep in her heart, Anne was sure that Sharon had turned to Michelle for comfort. She knew it instinctively; she felt the energy between them every day at the office.
ÂÂ
It was killing her.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
Hector unlocked the door to his dark apartment and pushed it open. He had spent the entire night washing the wall-to-wall carpeting in Sharon Chapman and Anne Laird’s office, and he was weary and ready for sleep. He kicked a small pile of mail that had been dropped through the mail slot, scattering bills and other junk across the threadbare carpet.
ÂÂ
           One package caught his eye, and his heart began hammering around in his chest. Hectors breath quickened, and he picked the package up. He ignored the rest of the mail. If this package was what he hoped, soon the bills and the squalor he lived in would no longer matter. Hector tossed his coat onto a chair and sat down at his table.
ÂÂ
He was ready to finish this ugly business so he could finally return home. Hector missed his family, his real life; he hated this place, everything about it, and having to work like a slave.
ÂÂ
Arturo.
ÂÂ
His brother’s name echoed in his head like a litany. Hector had made a promise before he died, and he would not forsake his word.
ÂÂ
Arturo.
ÂÂ
Hector picked up the little photo from the counter. The pain of his brother’s death was still fresh; like an old wound that wouldn’t stop bleeding. It had been almost three years since his brother’s murder.
ÂÂ
Three years since he had come to America to punish Sharon Chapman and Ann Laird.
ÂÂ
***
Michelle asserted herself immediately after Sharon and Anne had hired her on as a partner. Months ago, Michelle had urged Sharon to accept a new abuse case. Anne was sure Michelle only wanted to take on the client only because they were wealthy. It would be great for the firm, and it looked extremely profitable, she said.
ÂÂ
For the firm.
ÂÂ
Anne poured herself a glass of wine. To help herself relax. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
ÂÂ
Yeah. Sure. And if you believe that, I’ve got this bridge…
ÂÂ
Anne had disagreed with the choice from the start. It was one of the very few times in their professional relationship that she and Sharon had been at odds with each other. Privately, they argued about it constantly, until finally, Sharon had stormed out of the house for good. Anne thought she’d moved back into her old place. Turned out that wasn’t the case. Michelle drove her to work the next day.
ÂÂ
Things hadn’t been right between them since.
ÂÂ
Sharon avoided Anne for months, playing tennis in the morning and scheduling her appointments early when Anne was in the office, then coming in to work during the afternoons when she knew Anne was in court. In the end, Anne had given in, but Sharon had already taken the client on.
ÂÂ
Anne ground her teeth. Michelle. I think I hate her.
ÂÂ
“Oh well.†Anne brushed a wisp of hair out of her eyes. “There’s nothing that a nice glass of wine and a big bowl of ice cream won’t fix.â€Â
ÂÂ
Anne unwound the towel from her damp hair and laid it over the back of the chair at her dressing table, and began to brush out her hair. She was just slipping on the nightgown when her doorbell rang.
ÂÂ
“Who the hell could that be?â€Â
ÂÂ
She glanced at her alarm clock. Eight-thirty. Not too late. Maybe Sharon had left the office and snuck over with some pizza. Anne thought that sounded divine. They could split the rest of the wine and share the ice cream.
ÂÂ
The doorbell rang again.
ÂÂ
“Coming!†She shouted, excited now. “I’ll be right there!â€Â
ÂÂ
Visions of warm, cheesy pizza and gooey, melted chocolate dripping over vanilla bean ice cream filled her head. Anne was so thrilled, so sure it was Sharon that she didn’t bother to check the peephole in her door; she just threw the door open, leaned out, and then blinked in surprise at the man standing on her porch.
ÂÂ
“Oh! What…what are you doing here?
ÂÂ
A sharp gust of wind blew the hem of her light silk nightgown, making it billow up around her thighs. Her nipples puckered and poked out from under the thin material.
ÂÂ
The man leered at her.
ÂÂ
“Y’know, you should really lock your back door when you come in. It ain’t safe not to. Smile for the camera, bitch.â€Â
ÂÂ
He was holding a video camera and pointing it right at her. Anne realized that he was filming her, standing in her doorway dressed only in her nightgown, and she blushed.
ÂÂ
She shook her head a little, trying to shake off the cobwebs from the wine.
ÂÂ
“What…?â€Â
ÂÂ
 He laughed at her, and then an arm circled her waist and a hand clamped over her mouth with an iron grip. Anne tried to scream, and a sickly-sweet chemical smell filled her nostrils.
ÂÂ
I didn’t lock the back door, she thought. Sharon hates that I always forget to lock the back door.
ÂÂ
Anne started to struggle, flailing her arms and legs wildly, but the man holding her simply tightened his grip and pulled her back into the dark living room. The man on the porch grinned and followed them inside, quietly shutting the door.
ÂÂ
“Shit. That was easy.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Yeah.â€Â
ÂÂ
Anne was dizzy, disoriented from the chemicals soaked into the rag. The man behind her dropped her, retching, onto the floor, and Anne wondered if they were going to rape her.
ÂÂ
“Please…l-leave me a-alone…â€Â
ÂÂ
They both laughed.
ÂÂ
The men her gagged her, stuffing the pair of dirty panties that she’d taken off earlier in the kitchen roughly into her mouth, and wound the leg of her nylons around her head, tying the feet together tightly behind the nape of her neck. They used some heavy plastic zip-ties to bind her hands behind her back. Then they lifted her as easily as if she were a child, and carried her through the house and out the back door to the van.
ÂÂ
“C’mon. Hurry up.â€Â
ÂÂ
The security light didn’t go on this time; the men’s shoes crunched through broken glass as they carried Anne outside, still kicking.
ÂÂ
“Damn. She’s a feisty bitch.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Fuck it. Hit her ‘till she stops.â€Â
ÂÂ
They slapped her, knocking her face back and forth, until sparks of light went off behind her eyes. Anne groaned into the gag, and stopped kicking. Blood seeped from her nose and dripped down the front of her nightgown.
ÂÂ
“Shit.†The man with the camera shook his hand. “That hurt.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Pussy.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Fuck you.â€Â
ÂÂ
Anne was picked up again, and they carried her quickly down the driveway. The van’s side door rolled open and the engine started as soon as Anne was dropped inside.
ÂÂ
“Here go, kids. Enjoy.â€Â
ÂÂ
 Several more men were waiting in the van. They wore ski masks, and masks made out of nylon stockings. The man with the video camera jumped into the van and slammed the door shut. The men surrounded Anne. One of them held a syringe up and gave the plunger an ominous squeeze, sending a squirt of pale liquid out of the needle.
ÂÂ
Anne’s bloodshot eyes went wide with panic.
ÂÂ
The men smiled behind their masks and pinned her to the floor of the vehicle. The needle was plunged deep in her arm.
ÂÂ
The gag muffled Anne’s screams.
ÂÂ
The large man plopped into the front with the driver, making the van lurch with his weight. Together, they turned to watch the struggle through a peephole cut into the cab.
ÂÂ
In the back, the men held Anne down until she stopped screaming and jerking, then they unwound the pantyhose and removed the gag from her mouth.
ÂÂ
“Here it comes.â€Â
ÂÂ
The driver nodded at the observation.
ÂÂ
Anne vomited, retched again, then passed out. She was dragged to the front of the van where an old blanket was draped over her limp body.
ÂÂ
“Gotta love the first time somebody tries smack.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Mmn.â€Â
ÂÂ
The large man wrinkled his nose with distaste, then turned to the driver and lit a cigar. “Almost finished now. Just one more, and then we can have some fun before we get paid.â€Â
ÂÂ
In answer, the driver just smiled and started the van.

Seated at his table and lost in bitter memories, Hector wept quietly for his brother.
ÂÂ
Arturo.
ÂÂ
Hector had always been content with his life. He wanted for nothing: drugs, women, money; his needs were simple, and the political and military corruption in his country provided everything he ever wanted. When he came of age, Hector immersed himself in the violent life and took those things he wanted by force.
ÂÂ
But not Arturo.
ÂÂ
He hated the drugs and the rape, the killing and the corruption; what he called the murder of his soul. Arturo spent his nights dreaming of America and his days speaking of little else. The stories that were told of the Promised Land lured him like a sirens call.
ÂÂ
When he turned seventeen, Arturo decided to chase his dreams. Hector could have sent him to America in comfort, like a prince. But Arturo wanted more, he needed to understand. He had to experience the hardship, the struggle of his people.
ÂÂ
So he left his home and his family and began the long, dangerous trek across the border. Many strong men die attempting that voyage, even now in this day and age, or are caught and sent home, disgraced.
ÂÂ
Somehow, after long weeks, Arturo made it.
ÂÂ
He sent a constant stream of letters home, telling Hector and their family of America, the land of the free. He wrote that he had found a job working as a dishwasher in a small restaurant and a place to live. And he confided in Hector that he’d met a woman. Arturo’s English was very poor and at first, he struggled. But a waitress at the restaurant helped him. They fell in love, and a few months later, they had a baby girl.
ÂÂ
They named the baby Emma.
ÂÂ
Arturo said they were happy. For a while.
ÂÂ
Months passed, and one day Arturo came home from work early. He’d been promoted to a line cook at the restaurant and the owners had given him a pay raise. He wanted to celebrate, and on his walk home he’d stopped and bought Isabella flowers. Arturo was whistling when he opened his door.
ÂÂ
His life ended when he stepped inside.
ÂÂ
Emma was lying naked on the floor of their little apartment, screaming, covered in her piss and feces, an empty bottle beside her on the floor. Isabelle was on her knees, kneeling against the couch; with a greasy, tattooed man fucking her from behind, like a she was a dog in heat.
ÂÂ
They ignored Emma and her cries.
ÂÂ
Isabelle’s eyes were vacant and unseeing. A used syringe was broken on the floor. A clear plastic pipe had fallen from Isabelle’s nerveless fingers, and lay on the floor next to Emma, still hot and smoking. Emma had tried to reach her bottle, but found the pipe instead, and red, puss-filled blisters had burst out on her poor, tiny fingers.
ÂÂ
Arturo had seen crack before, both at home, when he and Hector were homeless children living in the street, and in the flop houses where he had slept when he first came to America. He knew the evils of the drug. He knew Isabelle was an addict. She told him after they met, when they began dating.
ÂÂ
Arturo didn’t care. He loved her anyway. But when they learned that Isabelle was pregnant, Arturo asked her to stop. He begged her.
ÂÂ
And she promised.
ÂÂ
So when Arturo opened his door and found his wife and child, he flew into a mindless rage. He beat the man until he ran from the house, naked and bleeding. And then he turned his rage on Isabelle. He hit and kicked her until she cowered in a corner, then he took Emma, and he left, swearing to Isabelle that she would never see them again.
ÂÂ
That was his mistake. He never should have left.
ÂÂ
Neighbors called the police about a domestic disturbance. The police came and interviewed Isabelle a day later. She concocted her story, and the police decided Arturo had kidnapped his daughter, and was in danger of fleeing the country. On their advice, Isabelle hired the law firm of Sharon Chapman and Anne Laird to represent her in a custody suit. Chapman and Laird, the police told her, had established a reputation of taking on these types of domestic cases; incidents where a wife or a child had been abused or raped.
ÂÂ
And Isabelle told more lies.
ÂÂ
The police picked up Arturo and Emma at the restaurant, when he went in to pick up his paycheck. Arturo was arrested without a fight, processed and sent to jail to await trial.
ÂÂ
Emma was taken into protective custody.
ÂÂ
In court, Sharon Chapman convinced the judge and jury that Arturo had forced Isabelle to take drugs and prostitute herself, and who often raped his own child. She wove stories, describing to the court in grisly detail the atrocities that he had perpetrated on his family.
ÂÂ
Again and again during the trial, Chapman directed the jury’s attention to Arturo, enforcing their suspicion that he was the monster she described. When she was called as a witness, under oath, Isabelle claimed that when he kidnapped Emma, Arturo intended on selling the baby for money, or God only knew what else.
ÂÂ
They called him evil.
ÂÂ
Arturo had no money. He barely spoke English. No real lawyer would represent him, and the women lawyers that represented Isabelle were very persuasive with their lies.
ÂÂ
He had no chance.
ÂÂ
A judge convicted him of all the heinous crimes he had been accused of, and sentenced him to more than twenty years in prison. And they made sure that he would never see his daughter again. Isabelle smiled as Arturo was led from the courtroom, and she celebrated, hugging her lawyers. Sharon Chapman herself handed Emma back into Isabelle’s needle-pricked arms.
ÂÂ
Her wicked smile was the last thing Arturo saw before he was taken away.
ÂÂ
In prison, Arturo wrote to Hector. He claimed that Isabella had been his one, true love, and his love had blinded him while she cut out his heart.
ÂÂ
Isabelle had stolen everything; his daughter, his self-respect and pride. His honor.
ÂÂ
Less than a month later, Arturo learned that both Isabelle and Emma had died in a fire. The fire had started in a drug house. The house was owned by the man Arturo had caught fucking his Isabelle, and beaten. The inhabitants had been too stoned to escape.
ÂÂ
That day, Arturo lost what little was left of his soul.
ÂÂ
The other inmates understood none of this. In prison, child molesters are reviled by the rest of the populace. Arturo was hurt badly, day after day, by men who had raped and killed. The irony was not lost on him, that Isabelle was still torturing him, even from beyond the grave. He tried to tell the truth of what had happened to anyone who he hoped would listen. He tried to fight back. It only made his life worse.
ÂÂ
Arturo began to despair. He again wrote to Hector, begging him to come to America. Hector swore to his brother that he would help, that he would come and make the people who did this pay.
ÂÂ
The next day, another inmate killed Arturo in his cell, stabbing him in the chest, over and over, with a homemade knife. The guards found Arturo much later, lying on the floor of his cell in a pool of blood. They called for a medic and watched him bleed.
ÂÂ
No one would say who actually killed him.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
It took Hector some time to arrange travel to the United States. When he finally arrived, he went directly to the prison to claim Arturo’s body. When he saw his brother’s corpse, Hector closed off his heart to the pain, until it was like a live thing trapped inside him, eating at him. He bottled up the rage. It would have to wait.
ÂÂ
He wasn’t sure what he should do next. In his country, to resolve this matter would be simple. Hector would simply have had the people responsible for his brother’s death brought to him, then tortured and killed. But he couldn’t do that here. As powerful as he was at home, he had few friends here. He had to wait for an opportunity, to develop a plan.
ÂÂ
So he claimed his brothers few possessions from the authorities, and he moved into the same small apartment where Arturo had lived with Isabelle and Emma. He had Arturo’s body returned home, away from this awful place. Just a few days later, Arturo’s attorney, a court-appointed lawyer, contacted Hector.
ÂÂ
Hector went to meet him, and he was given a sealed manila envelope. When Hector asked what it was, the attorney just shrugged.
ÂÂ
“Dunno. Open it and see.â€Â
ÂÂ
Hector returned to the tiny apartment and opened the envelope. By the time he finished reading, he was smiling.
ÂÂ
Before he died, Arturo had found a way to get his revenge.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
Arturo didn’t want Susan Chapman or Anne Laird dead. That would have been a simple thing; Hector had killed before, men and women; it was the same to him. Easy.
ÂÂ
No, Arturo wanted the lawyers, and anyone who had worked for them punished. He wanted them to be humiliated and ruined, raped and beaten, their lives destroyed, just as his had been. Somehow while he was in prison, Arturo had learned of the Fantasies, Inc. people, and their capabilities. It seemed that they would and could do almost anything. For a price.
ÂÂ
Arturo laid his plans carefully. It would be expensive, he knew, and he did not have access to the funds he would need. But he found a way it might work.
ÂÂ
First, somehow Hector had to get close to the lawyers, get them to trust him. So he swallowed his pride and gone to work for them as a janitor.
ÂÂ
A fucking, piece of shit janitor.
ÂÂ
He’d worked his ass off for them, biding his time and learning where they lived, their habits, their secrets. He learned where they each kept their money, and where the accounts for the firm where. He worked and watched, and slowly and surely they began to confide in him. When he though he’d learned enough, he sent Arturo’s plan to the Fantasy website, and waited.
ÂÂ
Nothing happened. Hector began to think he’d been scammed. But he held onto a small hope that he would not let go. Not until that arrogant bitch had been properly punished.
ÂÂ
Hector hated slaving for the lawyer cunt and her partner. Hated them for what they had done to his brother and his family. His own honor had been disgraced, working like a common pig for the bitch. So, every day for the past six months he had come home from work and checked his email account, and every day he had been disappointed.
           Hector turned the padded envelope over in his hands. His name and his address were neatly printed in the middle of the package. There was nothing else to find. No label or return address; nothing. He took a small pocket knife from his trousers and slit open the sealed flap. He shook the contents out onto the table.
ÂÂ
           He peeked inside the envelope to make sure it was empty, and tossed it away. On the table in front of him was a stack of silver computer disks and a plain envelope with the Fantasies, Inc. logo printed in gold in the middle. Each disk was sealed in a plastic case, and labeled with a woman’s first name, two disks each.
ÂÂ
He picked up the envelope and tore it open.
ÂÂ

ÂÂ

ÂÂ

Fantasies, Inc.
ÂÂ
Hector read the note, and a second later he was on the internet, checking his email. He brought up his account, half expecting not to find anything.
ÂÂ
But there it was. Just one message, but that was enough to send a current of excitement through his body. He clicked with the mouse and read his message, a short version of the note from the envelope, with a link attached. He clicked on the link, and waited.
ÂÂ
The page loaded quickly. On the main page, another link in a fancy script read: Welcome to your fantasy. Underneath that, in smaller type, was a flashing: Click here.
ÂÂ
Hector clicked.
ÂÂ
The next page was divided and boxed into quarters; each box contained a separate link, the first name of a woman; the same first names were printed on each of the disks that were included in the package.
ÂÂ
           Hector knew those names. He briefly wondered why there were four. There was a message at the top of the page.
ÂÂ
           All flashing links are live feeds, filmed in real time. You can choose to save your favorite video feeds in your free, additional website space for later viewing. You can also edit your saved files using the software provided online, then download and save the files on your hard drive or other media for your continued enjoyment. Make your own movies, screen savers, and more!
ÂÂ
           Three of the links were flashing, with a steady red pulse.
ÂÂ
Debbie. Michelle. Anne. Sharon’s name was there, too, a flat, lifeless blue in her section of the screen.
ÂÂ
Hector chose a name at random, pointed the mouse, clicked, and the page changed again. He stared at his screen. Dozens of new links, divided and grouped under headings.
ÂÂ
At home, In the car, At the office, Saved files, etc.
ÂÂ
           The At home link was flashing. Hector clicked.
ÂÂ
Bathroom. Click. Shower. Click.
ÂÂ
And suddenly, live and in color, with sound that was clear as a bell, Hector was watching Debbie Jones, taking her morning shower. He watched as she lathered shampoo through her bleached-blonde hair, and listened to her hum quietly, as soapy, steaming hot water ran over her huge breasts, down her back and her belly, past her mound and down her legs.
ÂÂ
Hector gasped in pleasure. He felt an erection trying to burst from his trousers. In his excitement, he knocked over his chair when he stood and dropped his pants.
ÂÂ
He straightened the chair and sat back down with his pants bunched in a puddle around his ankles and his cock throbbing in his hand.
ÂÂ
He jacked off while Debbie finished her shower and dried off. He watched her pat her pale skin dry with a fluffy white towel, then wrapped it in her hair, like a turban. She brushed her teeth and left the bathroom.
ÂÂ
           On his screen, a message popped up.
ÂÂ
           Camera auto-follow between rooms? Yes/No?
ÂÂ
           He clicked on yes.
ÂÂ
The camera view switched to a bedroom. Debbie had taken the towel off and tossed it on her bed, and was pulling on a tiny pair of lacy black panties. She had her back turned towards the camera, giving Hector a nice view of her plump ass. His dick throbbed, and then another message popped up.
ÂÂ
Did you know? You can use your mouse to scroll between camera angles. Give it a try. Click the edge of the window to view a new frame.
ÂÂ
Hector clicked the top of the screen, and suddenly Debbie’s tits filled the entire monitor, large as life, like he could just reach out and grab them.
ÂÂ
Click and hold the right mouse button, then move the mouse to adjust and focus between different camera angles.
ÂÂ
He clicked and rolled the mouse back towards the edge of the table, until he could see Debbie’s whole room again.
ÂÂ
There. He smiled, enjoying himself. That’s better.
ÂÂ
He laughed when she lost her balance and fell on her ass. Debbie swore. She’d fallen with her legs up in the air and the panties dangling around one of her knees. Hector used the mouse to zoom in again, giving him a nice look at her snatch. Bushy.
ÂÂ
Debbie grunted and struggled to her feet. He watched, spellbound, as she dressed for work, slipping on a bra and nylon stockings, then a nice skirt and blouse. The camera went black when she left the house, then switched to a shot of Debbie walking to her car. She unlocked the car, and another message popped up.
ÂÂ
Continue filming? Yes/No
ÂÂ
NO.
ÂÂ
His cock was bored now. Time to try someone else. Hector backed out. The link he wanted was still dead, so instead he chose Michelle.
ÂÂ
Bathroom. He grinned and got comfortable. Click.
ÂÂ
The screen refreshed. Hectors’ eyes popped open, and his cock perked right back up. Michelle, shot from above and behind, was leaning over her bathroom counter with her ass up in the air, putting on lipstick. Her jet-black hair was still wet from the shower, black and glistening with moisture. She was dressed in a lacy satin bra and a pair of matching panties.
ÂÂ
Talking a mile a minute, another, older woman entered the bathroom and stepped into the shower. Hector used the mouse to zoom in on her face.
ÂÂ
Sharon.
ÂÂ
Hector jacked off as she bathed, and slumped back in his chair when he blew his load onto the linoleum. Sharon finished with her shower. Michelle dressed for work in a blue suit and a white silk blouse. She clipped on a pair of pearl earrings, smiled, and pressed her body tightly against Sharon’s.
ÂÂ
A look of euphoria stole over Sharon’s face. She shut her eyes and smiled as Michelle lightly cupped her breasts and kissed the nape of her neck. She ran her hand through Michelle’s hair, and they clung to each other, swaying gently. Then Sharon turned and the women embraced, two lovers, kissing passionately.
ÂÂ
His penis twitched again, and rose back to attention. I did not realize. But this is…this is very fine.
ÂÂ
Hector spent the rest of the morning at his computer, happily exploring the feeds that had been collected over the past couple weeks and the disks that had been included with his package.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
           Lost in her drug-induced euphoria, Sharon had no idea how long they raped her. She barely remembered any of it after the drugs took effect, except that at some point her body betrayed her and she began responding to the sex. She remembered hearing a grunt of surprise from one of the men while he fucked her. She’d suddenly wrapped her legs around his back and started bucking uncontrollably underneath him and she came with a loud cry, sending a torrent of warm fluid squirting over his thighs. He backhanded her face and called her a horny cunt, then went back to fucking her.
ÂÂ
Everything else was bits and pieces.
ÂÂ
Once, she recognized Annie’s face, tight with pain, shoved against a muscular belly. She was stripped naked and gagging, with ropes of spit and vomit dangling from her chin, her cheeks and slim neck bulging from the thick cock that was slamming in and out of her mouth. Sharon noticed other, fuzzy shapes and voices, the wet, slurping sound of sex, men grunting and women gasping with pain and crying from shame. The sounds all seemed muffled and distorted, as if they were far away.
ÂÂ
The men liked to fuck her two or three at a time. One man would fuck her and pull out, and then another would immediately take his place. The Mountain was the worst. He liked to rip into her ass with his enormous cock, fuck her, and then make her swallow him until he came, shooting his load while he was buried deep in her throat.
ÂÂ
Sharon thought the ordeal would be over relatively quickly, but it seemed like it went on for hours. She realized there was no natural way the rapists could be that potent. The men must have taken some kind of drug not long before.
ÂÂ
The van drove slowly, rarely slowing, and the motion of the vehicle was almost comforting. Every once in a while, Sharon felt them ease to a stop, probably for lights, and she even thought that she heard a police siren once, right next to them. She tried to scream then, but the men around her just laughed and a cock was pushed into her mouth. At some point the drugs they gave her began to wear off, and she felt the pain of her torn, battered body: the sharp pain running up her jaw and down her neck, her bruised breasts, the torn flesh of her rectum and vagina, the bites on her nipples and neck and shoulders. The men had taken her jewelry, but they never bothered to remove her clothes; now the material just hung from her in torn scraps.
ÂÂ
Eventually the van slowed and came to a stop. Sharon was thrown onto her belly on the floor, facing the van door, and her arms were locked behind her back. Annie was beside her, staring vacantly into space. Next to her, Debbie was kneeling on all fours, still being fucked by two men. They came quickly and shoved her to the floor, handcuffing her while cum still glistened on their cocks.
ÂÂ
Sharon glanced around, her drugged mind beginning to work again. Debbie. Annie. Someone was missing.
ÂÂ
Michelle, she thought. She’s not here. They didn’t get Michelle.
ÂÂ
A tinge of hope ran through her as the men dressed. Then the Mountain pulled a cell phone from his coat.
ÂÂ
“We’re ready.â€Â
ÂÂ
The door to the van was unlocked and thrown open. The wind rushed inside, covering the three women with a light blanket of freezing snow and ice. Sharon shivered miserably.
ÂÂ
“Here you go, buddy. They’re all yours.â€Â
ÂÂ
The Mountain and the other men stepped over the women and jumped out of the van. Sharon looked up and gasped in surprise.
ÂÂ
Hector stood in the doorway, his face twisted into a mask of hate and lust. His black eyes bored into Sharon’s, and she shivered again, but not from the cold.
ÂÂ
The Mountain clapped him on the shoulder, and handed him two small video tapes. “These are on us, m’man, made last night and on the ride. They’ll be available on the net in an hour or two, soon as we get ‘em edited.â€Â
ÂÂ
Hector nodded, his face changing into a demonic grin as he pocketed the tapes. Sharon looked past the men, trying to see a landmark, figure out were they were. All she could see were a few trees, barely visible behind a wall of white.
ÂÂ
“The van’s all gassed up. You got a stash under the front seat, enough heroin to keep the two of ‘em nice and quiet ‘till you get past the border. There’s a map folded in the glove box. Follow the directions and take the marked route down through California. Be at the border at exactly eight o’clock in the morning two days from now. You need to be there on Christmas day. Our man will be there, waiting with a plane. He’ll get you to where you’re going without any problems. You’re on your own after that. Got it?â€Â
ÂÂ
Hector nodded. “I understand.â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon gasped again. Hector grinned at her. His accent had disappeared. He even seemed larger, taller; a commanding figure instead of the meek little custodian she knew. Out of the corner of her eye, Sharon saw Debbie staring at him too. Annie was still blank; the whites of her eyes showing and blood still oozing from her mashed nose. She seemed catatonic.
ÂÂ
The Mountain nodded.
ÂÂ
“Right. Now, ‘bout the cash.â€Â
ÂÂ
Hector finally took his eyes off Sharon. “I thought you figured out how to get it?â€Â
ÂÂ
Another voice came from outside, away from Sharon’s point of view; soft, quiet and definitely female.
ÂÂ
“We did.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Hector backed up a half-step, and almost bowed. The Mountain smiled, and said, “Hey, love.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Michelle peeked into the van and grinned merrily. She was snuggled into Sharon’s nice, warm cashmere coat. She smiled down at Sharon.
ÂÂ
           “Sharon! Look at you! You look so cute, tied up like that. Makes me want to eat you up, but...†She slowly licked her ruby lips, then nodded at Hector. “You don’t belong to me anymore.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Hector grinned. Michelle tossed him a set of keys.
ÂÂ
“Oh, well. You know what they say. ‘Better to have loved and lost’ and all that garbage. Anyway, Hector, those are for you. Keys to their handcuffs and the van, too. I’ve been driving this big fucking thing around all night, and now it’s all yours.â€Â
ÂÂ
Hector made the keys disappear into the same pocket as the video tapes.
ÂÂ
Michelle wrapped her slim arms around the Mountain. “And pretty soon, I’ll be able to finish work and get back to my sweetie-pie.†She looked up and drank in the dark eyes behind the mask. She eased the edge of the mask up past his lips, and they kissed passionately. “Baby, you’re so sweet. I love the coat.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Thought you might.â€Â
ÂÂ
The Mountain grinned and they kissed again. Sharon grunted angrily. Michelle finally turned back to the van.
ÂÂ
           “Well, well. Look at you, all wrapped up like presents under the tree. Merry Christmas, Hector. From all of us at Fantasies, Inc.â€Â
           “Yes. It was perfect. My brother’s spirit will be able to rest soon. And I…†The look he gave Sharon turned her blood to ice. “I will find my own pleasure.†He turned back to the Mountain. “But I do not understand about the money?â€Â
ÂÂ
           Michelle stepped closer to Sharon and stroked her hair. Sharon jerked her head away, and Michelle slapped her, smacking her face into the floorboard. She grabbed a knot of Sharon’s hair and twisted it in her fist.
ÂÂ
“Now, now, now. Is that any way to behave? Hmmn?â€Â
ÂÂ
She jerked Sharon’s head back and stuck a finger into her mouth. Her long, painted fingernails dug into the soft roof of Sharon’s mouth as she worked the metal ring free.
ÂÂ
“Well, Hector, you see, they couldn’t have done this the easy way. Oh, no. Even after everything I’ve done for the firm, all the money I’ve made for these lovely ladies, none of these cunts ever really trusted me with the passwords for the bank accounts. So…â€Â
ÂÂ
She pulled the ring out of Sharon’s mouth and tossed it in the air. The Mountain caught it with a grin. The ring disappeared into a pocket and, once again, the Mountain pulled out his cell phone. Sharon had thought having the ring out of her mouth would be a relief, but she sucked at the cold air, fighting the sudden urge to vomit and the sharp pain running down her jaw.
ÂÂ
Hector looked confused. “What?â€Â
ÂÂ
“So tonight Sharon’s going to finally tell me what they are.†Michelle opened the coat. She was naked underneath, her nipples hard from the cold. She pulled a gleaming blue pistol from an inside pocket and pointed it at Sharon’s head. “Aren’t you, baby?â€Â
ÂÂ
“You f-f-fucking b-b-bitch!â€Â
ÂÂ
Michelle feigned shocked. “Now, now. No need to get crude, sweet.â€Â
ÂÂ
“I’m not telling you anything!†Sharon croaked.
ÂÂ
“Oh, I think you will.â€Â
ÂÂ
Michelle cocked back the slide and pressed the barrel of the gun to Sharon’s temple. Sharon lost control of her bladder; warm piss soaked the filthy carpet under her hips.
ÂÂ
“Oh, God, please…â€Â
ÂÂ
Hector panicked and lunged at Michelle. “No! No! I’m not done with her! I…â€Â
ÂÂ
The Mountain caught him easily, and held him still. Michelle smiled gently.
ÂÂ
           “Sweet, sweet Sharon. He needs you. We can’t call this job finished if I kill you. That’s bad for my reputation. And my employers – my real employers, that is, well, they absolutely hate when a project doesn’t end on a positive note. Gotta keep the customers satisfied, you know what I’m saying? I think you do. And besides all that, we don’t get paid. So I guess I can’t shoot you, now can I?â€Â
           Michelle dragged the gun hard across Sharon’s face, cutting a furrow along her cheeks. Sharon felt warm blood seep from the cuts as Michelle pointed the gun at Anne’s head. She looked over at Hector, who was staring at her, wide-eyed. Sharon thought he looked as panicked as she felt. Anne never blinked, her eyes still blank, unfocused.
ÂÂ
           “Hector?†Michelle inclined her head. “What about Anne? You need her too?â€Â
ÂÂ
           Hector gulped, and nodded frantically. “Yes! Yes! Both of them! Both of those bitches killed my brother! You know I want them both alive!â€Â
ÂÂ
“Shit. That’s true. It was all there in your submission, wasn’t it? Very interesting story, by the way. So sad.â€Â
ÂÂ
Michelle shook her head, feeling the pain. Then:
ÂÂ
“Well, anyway. Okay. If you insist, I won’t shoot her. But I don’t think it would be much of a loss, personally.â€Â
ÂÂ
Michelle made a snorting noise and looked down at Anne.
ÂÂ
“Just a pretty face. Awful attorney. Hell, after we accepted this assignment, I barely studied for two weeks before I took the bar exams, and I’m a better lawyer than this twat is, even after what – twenty years?†She snorted again. “I think the old boys just tolerated her to get a piece of her pretty ass once in a while.â€Â
ÂÂ
Michelle flipped her hair back over her shoulder, and grinned at Sharon.
ÂÂ
“You know, she wasn’t even a good fuck. Nice for a quickie, I guess, but boring as all hell. She didn’t even like being tied up. No wonder you got tired of her.â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon squirmed, furious. “W-what?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh, didn’t you know?†Michelle pinched one of Anne’s nipples. “I seduced her just a few weeks ago. She came to my house one night, trying to win you back. I think you were out of town on work. I can’t really remember.†Michelle looked off into the snow, remembering. She was jerking on Anne’s tit and letting it fall, then doing it over and over. “She was so drunk. I think she wanted to kill me, actually.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Leave her alone!â€Â
ÂÂ
“If you insist.â€Â
ÂÂ
Michelle stepped to the end of the door. She grinned at the terrified Debbie, and looked back at Hector.
ÂÂ
“We’ve got one more option.â€Â
ÂÂ
Hector stopped struggling. “Her?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Yep.â€Â
ÂÂ
Hector thought about it for a moment.
ÂÂ
“I don’t need her.â€Â
ÂÂ
Michelle smiled. “Good.â€Â
ÂÂ
Debbie tried to scream, but it was cut short. Michelle grabbed the pearl necklace still hanging between Debbie’s breasts, and gave it a vicious twist. Debbie’s eyes popped open. She choked and kicked as her air was cut off. Two of the masked men wrestled her out of the van, dumping her roughly onto the frozen ground. They pulled Debbie up into a kneeling position and held her in place as Michelle moved quickly behind her, grabbed a handful of her hair and pushed the gun against the back of her head.
ÂÂ
The Mountain dialed a number on his cell phone. A second later he grunted and nodded at Michelle.
ÂÂ
“Well, baby?â€Â
ÂÂ
Michelle smiled happily at Sharon.
ÂÂ
“Would you like to tell me now? I want the passwords for both the corporate accounts, and for all of your personal accounts. I know you know them.â€Â
ÂÂ
Her voice turned cold.
ÂÂ
“Don’t fuck with me, baby, or you’ve got a dead, fat-ass cunt lying here for the police to find, and a coat that belongs to you covered in her blood. We’ll wipe the gun down and put it in your hand. Just for a second. When the police find the murder weapon hidden away, with your fingerprints on it, and then the coat…â€ÂÂÂ
ÂÂ
She shrugged.
ÂÂ
“Well. I’m sure you’ve put people behind bars with less evidence. And don’t forget, this lovely state has the death penalty.â€Â
ÂÂ
Michelle looked over at Hector, and smiled.
ÂÂ
“A little improv on your scenario, I know. But it works, yes?â€Â
ÂÂ
He was completely composed again, and nodded curtly. “Yes.â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon finally understood why Michelle was naked under the coat. She could just wash the blood off. No other clothes to dispose of.
ÂÂ
“Michelle, please…†She whispered. “Don’t...â€Â
ÂÂ
Michelle just smiled and licked her lips. Sharon remembered that face, from the first time she’d seen Michelle in criminal court, going after the jugular of a defending attorney. She only looked that way when she was having fun.
ÂÂ
“Ba-bee. We’ve wasted enough time, and my tootsie’s are getting cold. So lets speed this up. I’m going to count to three, and then Fatty here’s dead. One, two…â€Â
ÂÂ
Debbie was turning blue. Her entire body was shaking. Sharon didn’t even think twice about telling them the passwords, just blurted out everything she could remember. The Mountain repeated everything into the cell phone, and they waited while Michelle slowly and happily choked Debbie to death.
ÂÂ
“Good.†The Mountain snapped the cell phone shut. “That’s it. ten-point-six million dollars, transferred to points unknown.†He glared at Sharon. “No money, my black ass.â€Â
ÂÂ
Michelle grinned and turned to Hector.
ÂÂ
“Well. It’s been nice working with you, Hector. As a parting gift, you’ll find a bank book in the van with a small balance, thoughtfully contributed to your cause from the now defunct law firm of Chapman and Laird. Enjoy.â€Â
ÂÂ
She nodded to the Mountain. He pulled two syringes from his pocket, uncapped one, squirted a bit of fluid into the air, found a vein in Anne’s arm and jabbed the needle in. He injected her quickly. Anne’s staring eyes rolled back into her head, exposing the whites. Her body convulsed once and relaxed. Then he turned to Sharon and uncapped the other syringe.
ÂÂ
Sharon shook her head and screamed as he twisted her arm. “N-no…!â€Â
ÂÂ
She felt a strange warmth flood her arm, and she started to cry. The world around her quickly turned grey. The Mountain slammed the door shut with a clang, and Sharon’s last thought was that Michelle had never let Debbie go.
ÂÂ
Then she heard two muffled pops from outside the van, like firecrackers going off, and Michelle’s low, throaty laughter.
ÂÂ
Sharon vomited as the heroin hit her nervous system.
ÂÂ
She heard a noise, coming closer. A helicopter?
ÂÂ
The van’s engine rumbled as it started.
ÂÂ
And Sharon’s world went black.
ÂÂ

ÂÂ
Epilogue
ÂÂ
A fat, black fly buzzed incessantly around Sharon’s face, waking her from her stupor.
ÂÂ
Sharon groaned and tried to swat at the fly, but her arm didn’t seem to want to move. Something clanked, like metal scraping metal, and she glanced around, blinking, groggy and unsure of her surroundings. Her eyes took a moment to focus. She licked dry, cracked lips, wanting to rub away the thick crust that had caked her eyes, and wondered again why her arm wouldn’t move.
ÂÂ
She found herself in a large, green tent, handcuffed to the steel frame of a folding cot. Anne was lying naked and unconscious on an identical cot just next to her.
ÂÂ
“A-Annie?†She croaked.
ÂÂ
Two hard, stone-faced men in faded military fatigues guarded the entrance to the tent. One of them grunted and lifted the tent flap, letting in a brilliant ray of sunlight, and stepped outside. Sharon heard the sound of men and vehicles moving outside, and muted, as if farther away, the sound of animals. Dogs, barking. Other sounds, too, that she didn’t recognize.
ÂÂ
“W-who are you? Where are we?â€Â
ÂÂ
The guard ignored her and the fly. He simply stared straight ahead, his dark eyes fixed on some point at the back of the tent.
ÂÂ
Sharon gave up trying to speak and concentrated on taking stock of her situation. She too was stripped naked. She felt awful, like she’d suffered through a horrible illness. Her body was covered with just-healing bruises and welts, as was Annie’s. Both had their wrists handcuffed to the middle edges of the cots, and their feet were locked as well, in the same fashion.
ÂÂ
A sharp jolt of pain shot down her spine when Sharon lifted her head, making the muscles in her belly clench and spasm. Her limbs trembled uncontrollably. Her body was slick with sweat and crusted with dried vomit; tiny, pin-prick scabs ran along the inside of her bruised forearms. The tent was sweltering hot. Sharon tried to speak again, to ask for a drink of water. It felt like she was swallowing razor blades. The guard didn’t bother to answer or move from his post; he just kept staring straight ahead, and Sharon didn’t have the strength to ask again.
ÂÂ
Vague memories plagued her, floating in and out of her mind, just on the edge of her consciousness. Images of a van. Men she did not know. Annie and Debbie. Pain, and more pain. A plane. And over everything, a desperate craving that gnawed at the pit of her stomach.
ÂÂ
Sharon let her head rest back on the cot. A tear bubbled over and ran down the side of her cheek, cutting a trail through the dirt and grime smeared on her face.
ÂÂ
She remembered everything now. The abduction and the rapes. Michelle, dressed in nothing but Sharon’s coat, holding a gun to the back of Debbie’s head, smiling like she didn’t have a care in the world. And a moment later, after Sharon had given her what she wanted, everything she’d asked for, the two gunshots.
ÂÂ
Sharon remembered being drugged and afterwards, a long drive, tied and gagged with Anne in the back of the kidnappers van. More drugs each time the van would stop. A final stop, and then a plane ride.
ÂÂ
Withdrawal. Knots of nausea and intense pain, eating at her gut.
ÂÂ
Sharon shook her head, trying to rid herself of the fear that was paralyzing her as surely as the binds holding her down.
ÂÂ
She was still alive. That had to count for something. She and Anne could have been killed too, along with Debbie. But they were alive. And maybe she could somehow keep them that way.
ÂÂ
Next to her, Anne began to stir, moaning. Outside the tent, Sharon heard precise, measured footsteps approaching.
ÂÂ
Then voices.
ÂÂ
One voice Sharon thought she recognized; hard and commanding. The tent flap was pulled back and two men entered, their dusty boots crunching on the soil floor. The flap fell back into place as they stepped inside.
ÂÂ
Sharon sniffled and again raised her head, only to send another shock of pain through her skull. Her vision blurred and she choked back a cry, blinking away tears until she could see again.
ÂÂ
“Awake. Finally.â€Â
ÂÂ
Hector stood silently at the foot of her cot, appraising her with a cold glare. He turned to the guards and spoke a few, clipped words that Sharon couldn’t understand.
ÂÂ
“Clean them up and let the men have their fun. Bring them to the pit at dusk.â€Â
ÂÂ
The guards nodded, grinning wolfishly. Sharon remembered seeing that grin from other men, men who had hurt her, and not long ago.
ÂÂ
“W-wait, p-please…you can let us go. We won’t tell anyone…â€Â
ÂÂ
Hector laughed. A short, loud bark. Then he stepped close and slapped Sharon across the face. He grabbed her, squeezing her bruised cheeks, and he spit in her eye. The spittle mixed with her tears and blurred her vision even more. Then, in English:
ÂÂ
“I will not foul myself by taking my pleasure from you. I will leave you to the men, and then to the dogs.â€Â
ÂÂ
Then he spun on his heel and marched out of the tent.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
           A sharp word was shouted outside the tent and the guards had men fetch several buckets of tepid water.
ÂÂ
The water was brought quickly, and the tent began to fill with scarred, brutal-looking men, all of whom were armed and dressed in the same faded combat fatigues. The tent flap remained open, and more men peered in from outside. They laughed and joked, watching expectantly as the guards doused the women, still cuffed tightly to their cots, drenching them from head to foot with murky grey water. They scrubbed Sharon and Anne clean using thick cakes of rough soap and stiff brushes, until their skin was pink and raw. Then they were doused again, and again, until the dripping water made soapy pools of mud under the bedding.
ÂÂ
Sharon heard Annie in the next cot, whispering “no no no noâ€Â, over and over, as one of the men reached between her spread legs and began shoving his hand roughly into her vagina. Annie screamed, but the men just laughed with their comrade as he fingered her, jabbing his hand deep into her soft pussy.
ÂÂ
Anne’s body jerked and heaved. The men unlocked Anne’s feet and flipped her over onto her stomach. Two of them spread her legs wide, holding her firmly in place by her ankles. The man who had been fist-fucking Anne unzipped his pants and pulled out a massive, uncircumcised cock. He slapped her ass and climbed up on the cot and wedged himself between Anne’s legs.
ÂÂ
Sharon closed her eyes as the men gathered closely around them. A boy who could’ve been no more than fifteen leaned over Sharon and bit her nipple until she cried out. She began to weep silently as her ankles were unlocked, and she tried unsuccessfully to blot out her friend’s muffled screams.
ÂÂ
A moment later, someone took care of the problem for her.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
           The rapes seemed to go on forever.
ÂÂ
When the sun began to set, the guards pushed away the few remaining men and unlocked Anne and Sharon. They were then dragged out of the tent, naked, bloody and exhausted. Sharon tried to struggle and received a pair of vicious slaps. Anne let the men cuff her hands behind her back without a word. She whimpered when they touched her and kept her eyes fixed on the ground. All the fight seemed to have been drained out of her.
ÂÂ
Sharon glanced around as she stumbled from the tent, past the men still milling about. They were being held in a small military camp, stationed in a deep jungle. Their tent was picketed a few yards away from the main camp.
ÂÂ
Outside, another pair of armed guards stationed at the entrance to the tent fell into step as they were yanked away towards the outskirts of the camp. The women were led past a convoy of camouflaged jeeps and other vehicles to a small clearing, full of sweaty, drunken men, feasting next to a roaring bonfire. Sharon noticed women among the men, dressed in little more than rags, serving food and drink.
ÂÂ
The men groped the women and laughed.
ÂÂ
The gathering circled a shallow pit that had been scraped out of the forest floor. Six thick wooden stakes wrapped with supple leather thongs had been driven deep into the packed earth in the center of the pit.
ÂÂ
Hector sat under a canopy in a camp chair at the far lip of the pit, flanked by a pair of armed guards. He appeared lost in thought.
ÂÂ
Anne and Sharon were led down a slope cut like a tunnel that opened into the pit and forced to kneel by the stakes. Their captors saluted Hector, and the crowd of shouting men grew quiet, until the only sounds were the crackle of the fire, and the loud baying of dogs from somewhere beyond.
ÂÂ
Hector acknowledged the salute with a grunt and a nod.
ÂÂ
Anne and Sharon were held down, kneeling and spread-eagled, and strapped tightly to the stakes with their arms lashed to the ground straight out in front of them.
ÂÂ
“Let them loose.â€Â
ÂÂ
The men roared their approval. For the first time, Hector smiled. Sharon could hear Anne panting loudly.
ÂÂ
She tried to comfort her friend. “Annie…?â€Â
ÂÂ
“N-nooo…!â€Â
ÂÂ
Anne shook her head frantically, staring at the crest of the slope, her eyes round and panicked. The barking grew louder, the sound suddenly noticeable over the cheers of the drunken men.
ÂÂ
Sharon shouted to be heard. “Annie!â€Â
ÂÂ
Annie ignored her, and began screaming. Sharon turned to see the large, dark shapes as they appeared at the top of the pit, eyes red and gleaming in the firelight as they bounded swiftly down the incline towards them. Sharon’s mind froze, and for a moment, she truly wished she were dead. The realization of what was about to happen to them was sudden and crushing.
ÂÂ
For the first time since her abduction, Sharon felt fear; and complete, total shame over what was to come.
ÂÂ
“Oh God.†Anne cried, thrashing in her bonds. “No…please…â€Â
ÂÂ
And then the dogs were in the pit, snarling and biting. Sharon screamed as the first hound touched her naked flank. And then some thing cold and wet was between her legs, sniffing. She looked up at the cheering men, at the smiling Hector, and shook her head frantically.
ÂÂ
“N-no…â€Â
ÂÂ
Claws raked Sharon’s buttocks and her back as the first hound scrambled at her flesh with its paws, climbing onto her back. It mounted her quickly from behind, sniffing at her hair, her face, its heavy body smashing her to the ground and knocking the breath from her lungs. The animal drooled on her back and jerked its hips against her, painfully gouging its swollen red member deep into her tender pussy.
ÂÂ
Hector, along with his men and their dogs, caroused well into the night.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
           The jungle was dark and quiet when Sharon woke. She heard the sound of running water, felt a warm spattering of moisture on her face. She groaned and opened her eyes. Anne was sprawled in the dirt, still tied, her breathing ragged. Sharon coughed dirt and foul tasting liquid out of her mouth. She hurt everywhere.
ÂÂ
           Hector finished his piss, shook his cock and stuffed it back in his cargo pants.
           Sharon jerked back as a heavy knife was thrust into the ground next to her hands. She found herself staring at a pair of black boots, and looked up. Hector squatted next to her, his hands resting on his knees, his pair of guards at attention behind him.
           He smiled benignly and indicated the knife.
ÂÂ
“This is for you, as are these.â€Â
ÂÂ
Hector waved a large, calloused hand and the guards tossed a pair of canteens and two backpacks onto the ground.
ÂÂ
           “It is time that we are leaving this place, Senorita. I have been away for much too long. My men have waited patiently, and it is time for me to make my presence in my country felt once again.â€Â
ÂÂ
Hector smoothed his mustache, and continued.
ÂÂ
“Do you understand why this happened?â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon glanced at Anne and then glared at him, trembling.
ÂÂ
“S-scum.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Ah. No. You see, you have brought these last few weeks on yourself.†He toyed with the hilt of the knife. “You killed my brother, you know?â€Â
ÂÂ
“I never hurt anyone.â€Â
ÂÂ
“That is untrue.â€Â
ÂÂ
Hector held up a finger, pointing at her. He unbuttoned his shirt pocket and removed the photo of Arturo and his family.
ÂÂ
“Do you remember a man named Arturo Fernandez? No? Perhaps a woman called Isabelle, or a child named Emily?â€Â
ÂÂ
He brooded over the picture, his eyes smoldering, and then thrust the photo towards Sharon. He waited as recognition lit her eyes.
ÂÂ
“You sent my brother to prison.â€Â
ÂÂ
Sharon shook her head, defiant.
ÂÂ
“He…he was scum…â€Â
ÂÂ
Hector hit Sharon hard enough that lights danced behind her eyes.
ÂÂ
“Arturo was a boy.â€Â
ÂÂ
He hit her again, knocking her head back and forth.
ÂÂ
“A simple, loving boy, who forgave anyone their sins. A boy who wanted nothing more than to live in America, the land of hope and freedom. To live and love his family, yes? A dream he held dear, from when he was young; just a child, with me, living in the streets.â€Â
ÂÂ
Hector rocked back on his heels, staring.
ÂÂ
“He wrote me, you see. He knew Isabelle was hiding something. She had been a drug addict when they met. He tried to help. But that whore…she took Arturo’s dream and crushed it.â€Â
ÂÂ
Hector jabbed at the picture with a blunt fingertip, his eyes narrowed.
ÂÂ
“With your help.â€Â
ÂÂ
“I didn’t…†Hector raised his hand again, but Sharon kept going. “He molested his child! The evidence… He abused his wife…â€Â
ÂÂ
The look Hector gave Sharon froze her blood.
ÂÂ
“Lies. The child was molested, yes. But you had no forensic match, yes? None of the DNA? Where was your proof? You had no evidence, only the word of a crack whore. Who paid you and your friends to represent her? Hm? Can you answer that?â€Â
ÂÂ
Hector waited for her answer, grinding his teeth. When Sharon just shook her head, he continued.
ÂÂ
“She was a simple waitress, yes? Who had no money, no family. Who? Who helped her? Do you know Isabelle and Emily died not a month after your lies sent my brother to prison? Did you bother to interview any of the employees at the restaurant, who all knew she was an addict? Did you?
Hector grabbed her face, forced her to look him in the eye.
ÂÂ
“The man who paid for your fees is the same man who whored Isabelle and who raped her daughter. The same man who she and Emily were found dead with in flamed out drug house. The sick fuck who deluded you and your foolish partner into thinking that my brother…!â€Â
ÂÂ
Spittle foamed at the corners of Hectors mouth. One of the guards gently touched his shoulder. Hector rolled his neck and visibly brought himself back under control.
“You believed her lies, and because of you, my brother was murdered in an American prison by a criminal who was trying to rape him.â€Â
ÂÂ
He stared at her numbly, the corner of his lip twitching.
ÂÂ
“You foolish woman. Now do you understand? Your casual ignorance is no excuse for what you have done.â€Â
ÂÂ
Hector stood.
ÂÂ
“You and that bitch took everything from him. His daughter. His life. That is the truth. The truth denied him because of your actions. Isabelle and the scum who caused this are beyond my grasp. But you are not. At the end, Arturo wanted you punished for your part in this. He wanted your lives and livelihoods destroyed, and your reputations ruined. That you suffer for your sins. But his last wish was that you understand.â€Â
ÂÂ
He stepped around Sharon and kicked Anne in the side.
ÂÂ
“I would have killed you, yes. But Arturo understood. You were fallible. You are a zealous woman, Sharon Chapman. You believed you were doing the correct thing. The Lord’s work, yes? Helping the poor, the down-trodden. He did not want for you to die.â€Â
ÂÂ
He spit.
ÂÂ
“So, I must see for myself. I work for you. Arturo’s assumption is correct. You are a fool, but a righteous fool.â€Â
ÂÂ
He shook his head, grinned, and knelt again. When he touched Sharon’s face, he was almost gentle.
ÂÂ
“Sharon Chapman. I leave you with a choice. To live, or to die. I leave you and your woman these packs and this knife. Inside the packs are clothes and enough supplies to see a strong, trained man through three, four days in the jungle. The knife is close enough for you to saw through your binds, after a time.â€Â
ÂÂ
He pointed.
ÂÂ
“There is an overgrown dirt road that heads directly north from this camp. If you follow the road, it winds through the hills and leads to a small village, many miles from here. By foot, a man might reach the town, perhaps after approximately eight days travel. Or…†The guards grinned. “You can take your friend and try your luck in the jungle. The knife has a compass. Cut your way through the bush, due north. You could save several days and your supplies would see you through, if you do not get lost. Fair warning: the jungle is dangerous. And even if you find your way through, either way, the people in the town are not fond Americans. They will not want to aid you. They may even kill you.â€Â
ÂÂ
Hector spit again, for emphasis.
ÂÂ
“But if you are resourceful and willing to pay with your, say, womanly treasures, you may find a man in the village with a small prop plane that may be coerced to fly you fairly close to the border. There you will find only more trials. The American authorities are currently searching for two women attorneys, lesbian lovers who embezzled several million dollars from their firm. It is very sensational and dramatic; the story is on all the news stations.â€Â
ÂÂ
The guards actually chuckled at that; even Hector seemed pleased.
ÂÂ
 “The Americans believe that the firm’s junior partner was murdered to keep her quiet, and the body hidden. And they speculate that one of the employees, a receptionist named Debbie Jones, had somehow discovered what happening and confronted the pair herself, instead of notifying the police.â€Â
ÂÂ
Hector bent his fingers into the shape of a pistol and pointed it at Sharon’s temple. Sharon flinched.
ÂÂ
“They speculate that the women shot her in cold blood and then bolted from the country.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh, God, Debbie…†Sharon whispered, horrified, remembering the two loud popping sounds outside the van when they were taken. “No…â€Â
ÂÂ
“The authorities are also searching for another person of some interest, who may have known what really happened; the company janitor, who seems to have disappeared. They assume that perhaps he was in the country illegally, discovered the body after it had been dumped in the lawyers’ office, and has fled the country. â€Â
ÂÂ
Hector stood and smoothed his mustache. He pulled his pistol from its holster and pointed it at Anne’s head.
ÂÂ
No. Not again. Sharon screamed.
ÂÂ
“No, no, no! God, please don’t shoot her…â€Â
ÂÂ
 Hector pulled the trigger. The gun dry-fired. Empty. Anne whimpered, cringing.
ÂÂ
“You bastard. You fucking bastard.â€Â
ÂÂ
Hector laughed.
ÂÂ
“It would be a mercy, you know, to kill her?â€Â
ÂÂ
He shrugged, appraising the battered women.
ÂÂ
“You, Sharon, you are a strong woman. Strong both mentally and physically. You have proven this fact to me these last few weeks.â€Â
ÂÂ
He kicked at Anne again.
ÂÂ
“This one, however, she is not. But…†He shrugged. “She has survived this far. Perhaps she will surprise me. Yes?â€Â
ÂÂ
Hector smiled and ejected the magazine into his hand. He loaded two bullets and racked the slide, sending a casing into the chamber, clicked on the safety, bent and set the pistol on the ground, just inches away from Sharon’s numb fingers. He took a thin plastic card from his shirt pocket and tossed it to the ground as well.
ÂÂ
“These are for you. The card is for a numbered bank account. The account contains the money that was given me by your original kidnappers. It is enough to hide both of you safely from the authorities for a considerable time. Enough, perhaps, to begin a new life. The man with the plane has been instructed to give you more information if you so choose.â€Â
ÂÂ
He straightened, knees cracking.
ÂÂ
“So, Sharon Chapman. Live or die. Those are your options.â€Â
ÂÂ
He glanced at the tree tops, sunlight just peeking overhead.
ÂÂ
“Be quick. It is cool now; but the sun will rise soon, and the pit is unbearable when the sun is directly overhead. In your condition, you and your woman could easily expire here if you do not escape from your bonds by noon. The jungle is not forgiving. The pistol can provide you a quick end, if that is what you decide. A cleaner way to die than you provided for my brother.â€Â
ÂÂ
He turned to his men. “We are finished here. Come.â€Â
ÂÂ
And with that, Hector and his guards turned and strode out of the pit, leaving the women to the rising sun.
           I love this...
ÂÂ
           It was a little after six in the evening. I first spotted her standing in a crowd of people at a street corner, waiting for the crosswalk to change. She was probably in her mid-forties and a little on the plump side, but still curvy, with short, curly brown hair pushed back behind her ears. She was dres

sed for an office job in a nice black suit and skirt. Probably just getting off work, ready to hop in her car and head home after a long day pushing paper and answering phone calls.
ÂÂ
           The light changed. I blended in with the crowd that was leaving the mall and followed her across the street, discreetly keeping a few paces behind her. I expected her to turn left towards the covered parking lot with the rest of the group, but she surprised me and continued straight on to the movie complex.
ÂÂ
           She got in line behind a couple of giggling teenage girls. I got in the line behind her. The girls got their tickets and wandered off to the concession counters. The woman stepped up to the cashier and opened her purse.
ÂÂ
           “One please.†She said, and handed over a bill.
ÂÂ
           The cashier smiled and gave her a ticket and some change. The woman tucked the money back in her purse as she wandered off.
ÂÂ
           My turn. I stepped up to the window and waved at the woman’s back. “I’d like a ticket for the same show she was going to see…â€Â
ÂÂ
           The cashier smiled cheerfully, showing me her braces. “Okay,†she grinned. “That’ll be eight dollars…â€Â
ÂÂ
I handed her my money and grabbed my ticket. I had to wait to have a bored teenager tear my ticket. The woman was already out of sight, and I was getting antsy.
ÂÂ
“That’s the last theater down the hall on your right. Number twelve.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Thanks,†I muttered, and pocketed the slip of paper.
ÂÂ
Booming sounds bled from the walls around me as I marched down the sloping hallway. The manager was helping several of his employees clean by wheeling around a large garbage can. He nodded to me, everything about his expression full of annoyance. I nodded back and opened the door to the theater.
ÂÂ
The room was dark, and the previews had begun already. I stepped inside and let the door swing closed, gave my eyes a second to adjust. I was standing in an aisle that ran the entire back of the room, which opened up into two more aisles running all the way down to the movie screen, splitting the theater into three parts down the middle.
ÂÂ
Except for the first couple rows, most of the seats in the middle section were all taken, and so were a lot of seats along the sides. The movie screen lit up and I glanced around, and finally saw the woman just to my left, in the very back row. She was sitting right on the aisle; probably the first empty seat she found, she took.
ÂÂ
Her purse and her suit jacket were lying in the seat next to her. There wasn’t anyone else in the row. I walked over, scooched down a little, and whispered, “Um, excuse me? Is anyone sitting there?â€Â
ÂÂ
She glanced at me, then down at the seat next to her, and then back up at me. She shook her head and picked up her things. “No…â€Â
ÂÂ
She half-stood up. I eased by her, felt the backs of my thighs brush against her legs, felt the smooth silk of her stockings on my skin. “Thanks, I said, and pushed the folding seat back down.
ÂÂ
“Sure.â€Â
ÂÂ
I settled back and tried to get comfy. She tucked her purse next to her and folded her jacket in her lap. Our arms touched and she glanced over at me.
ÂÂ
“Sorry,†I said, and stared straight ahead.
ÂÂ
I wasn’t going to budge; I wanted the armrest to myself.
ÂÂ
Eventually, she gave up hoping that I’d be polite and rested her arm in her lap. The previews ended and the movie started. I had no idea what it was – some dumb chick flick – and I got bored after a few minutes. So I started sneaking glances at the woman. She was sitting up straight in her seat, watching the film intently. Every few minutes the reflection from the screen would lighten the theater, and I could catch tantalizing glimpses of a flowery, red and black bra through the folds of her blouse.
ÂÂ
She caught me looking. She smiled, but sat up even straighter and crossed her legs. The sound of her stockings rubbing together made me want to cream. I watched her through most of the movie, sneaking peeks here and there, and she relaxed a bit, slumped down in her seat a little.
ÂÂ
About halfway through, I pulled the knife I had in my pocket, then raised the armrest and shoved it between our seats. She looked over, irritated more than anything at that point, and shifted a little, so she was leaning to her right. I let her get comfortable again and then slid my hand under her jacket.
ÂÂ
I heard her soft gasp as my fingers clasped on her thigh.
ÂÂ
I showed her the knife. She froze and looked around with a horrified expression, licking her lips. I didn’t waste time. I ran my hand from the top of her knee all the way up her thigh to the top of her stocking, pushing up her skirt under the jacket.
ÂÂ
I leaned over and whispered, “Don’t move, don’t say anything, and I won’t hurt you. You understand?†The blade flashed, and she nodded quickly. “Good.â€Â
ÂÂ
Nobody around us had noticed anything. I wasn’t too concerned about that; her jacket hid my hand from any prying eyes anyway. The creamy flesh above the stockings was warm and soft. I slid my hand slowly down the curve of her inner thigh. She let out a whimper and squeezed her legs together, pinning my hand in the juncture between her legs and her crotch.
ÂÂ
“Ah-ah-ahh…†I whispered. “Stop that.â€Â
ÂÂ
She shook her head. I poked her arm with the tip of the knife.
ÂÂ
“I said, stop it.â€Â
ÂÂ
She bit her bottom lip and closed her eyes. The pressure on my hand alleviated enough for me to tickle the crotch of her panties. I heard her moan softly, and she tried to turn her head.
ÂÂ
“Look at the screen. Nowhere else. You understand?â€Â
ÂÂ
She nodded.
ÂÂ
“Good. Open your eyes, and look straight ahead.â€Â
ÂÂ
I saw her jaw working as she struggled not to cry, but she opened her eyes. I wrapped my finger around the elastic band of her panties and pulled the material out of my way. I tickled her soft mound of curly pubic hair with my fingertips.
ÂÂ
“God,†she groaned. “Please stop…â€Â
ÂÂ
“Shut the fuck up!†I hissed. “Watch the damn movie.â€Â
ÂÂ
I leaned into her, letting my bicep rub against her tits, and dug my hand down further. I thought she’d be dry as a bone. Imagine my surprise when my probing fingers found her wet and juicy.
ÂÂ
I blinked and grinned at her. “Well, well. Look at that.â€Â
ÂÂ
She closed her eyes and turned her head away from me. I slipped my middle finger inside her, up to the knuckle. I heard a low moan escape her lips. Her hands grabbed at my wrist and her thighs clamped down on me again.
ÂÂ
“Stop it.†I poked her with the knife again. She jumped and bit her tongue. “Spread your legs!†I commanded. “Do it bitch!â€Â
ÂÂ
The pressure eased again. I cupped her crotch with the palm of my hand and inserted my index finger into her pussy. Then I started to finger fuck her.
ÂÂ
“Please stop…†She was shaking, almost crying. “Please…â€Â
ÂÂ
“Shut up…â€Â
ÂÂ
I worked my fingers in and out, using my arm for leverage. After a moment or two, I noticed her thighs begin to scissor together, and she was beginning to squirm in her seat. Her right hand grabbed her armrest, the fingers of her left hand clamped onto my thigh, and her pussy clenched hard around my fingers, squishing them together.
ÂÂ
“Oh!†She murmured. “Oh God, no…please, stop it…please…â€Â
ÂÂ
She kept glancing down at the knife, as if she was trying to make sure it was still there, and she was almost hopping up and down in her seat. I found her clit and flicked it with my thumbnail while I finger-banged her.
ÂÂ
As the movie ended and the credits rolled, she came. Her fingernails dug into my thigh and a warm flood of her spunk drenched my hand up to the wrist. I gritted my teeth and yanked my hand out of her snatch, then ripped her hand off my leg. Blood welled up from where her fingernails had dug furrows into my skin.
ÂÂ
She fell back into her seat, shaking. She tried to smooth down her skirt as the lights went up and the rest of the movie-goers stood and filed out, chatting, moving slowly up the aisles to the doors behind us.
ÂÂ
The woman stood awkwardly, and I thought she’d follow everyone else out to the parking lot. But instead of losing herself in the crowd, she started making her way down the aisle, to the exits at either end of the movie screen. I waited until she had the door open, then I stood and followed.
ÂÂ
I knew where these exits led: to a short hallway and then another security door, which opened out onto a sidewalk that wrapped around the building. Beyond that was a woodsy area that sloped down to old railroad tracks and abandoned warehouses. When I pushed open the security door, I half expected to see the bitch running for the parking lot, screaming for security.
ÂÂ
It was almost dark outside. The sun had set not long before, leaving faint streaks of dazzling reds and purples streaking the clear evening sky. The sidewalk was empty, and I thought I’d lost her.
ÂÂ
Then I heard some crashing in the trees, caught a glimpse of her legs as she tried to navigate a steep, dirt trail leading down the side of the hill. She was having a difficult time, her high heels not suited for the hike. I vaulted the railing and caught up with her before she broke the trees. I didn’t want anyone to see what I was going to do to her.
ÂÂ
Breathing hard from the short chase, I grabbed her by the upper arms and dragged her to her knees. Her purse went flying and her jacket fell to the ground, settling in the leaves. She started to struggle, and I shoved the knife blade under her chin.
ÂÂ
“Don’t you fucking move, don’t make a fucking sound!†I grated past clenched teeth. “Who said we were finished?â€Â
ÂÂ
She whimpered and her entire body shook with fear, but she stopped fighting me.
ÂÂ
“Good.â€Â
ÂÂ
I snatched my hand away from her throat, curled my fingers between the buttons of her blouse, and ripped; popping buttons all the way down to the waistband of her skirt as I tore open her blouse. Her breasts were round and heavy, cupped in a lacy black bra decorated with red satin flowers. A small gold chain dangled in the cleft between her tits. I heard myself grunt like an animal, and then I pushed her face down onto her jacket, so her ass was sticking straight up in the air.
ÂÂ
“Please, don’t hurt me…†She mumbled between gasps for breath. Tears streaked her face. I slapped her ass, and she let out a high-pitched squeal.
ÂÂ
“Shut up!â€Â
ÂÂ
There was a slit running up the back of her skirt. I used the knife to cut the material up to the band, exposing her white panties. Then I let the remains of her skirt hang loosely around her waist.
ÂÂ
“Oh, yeah. Look at that…â€Â
ÂÂ
I rubbed her ass cheeks with my hands. She wiggled and squirmed and cried. Watching her turned me on. I was unbelievably hard. With a jerk of my wrist I unbuckled my belt and popped the top button of my shorts. I quickly slipped out of my shorts and underpants, and wedged myself between her legs.
ÂÂ
“Okay, baby. Let’s have some fun…†I pulled the crotch of her panties and cut them apart, exposing her asshole and pussy lips to the cool night air. My dick was sliding up and down her silky stockings, driving me crazy. I grabbed the base of my cock and rammed the head into her pussy, not caring if she was ready.
ÂÂ
“Oh, God…†She moaned. “No…â€Â
ÂÂ
I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled the cups of her bra under her tits, and shoved with my hips at the same time. She was soaking wet, lubed up enough that I was halfway in with one thrust. She jerked underneath me, and I grabbed on to her tits while I fucked her. I couldn’t hold out long, and I knew it. I was way too excited.
ÂÂ
“Yeah, baby, you know you want it…†I was grunting in her ear when she turned her head and smiled at me. Her ruby lips pressed against mine. They parted, and I felt the tip of her tongue flick into my mouth.
ÂÂ
We kissed for what seemed like an age, and then she grabbed my hands in hers, making me squeeze her tits even harder. She started grinding her ass in tiny, quick circles while I pumped her from behind. I felt my balls tighten, the orgasm building all the way down in my curled toes…
ÂÂ
“Come in me, come on…†She whispered, taunting me. “My big boy…â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh fuck…oh fuck…†I was chanting, panting for each breath, my balls heavy, slapping her ass. “Oh yeah…â€Â
ÂÂ
I buried my face in her hair and dug my fingers into her breasts as I shot my load. We fell into the leaves together, me on her back, still twitching with the last of my climax. We stayed there, locked together, until my cock shriveled up inside her.
ÂÂ
Then I pushed away from her and put my pants on. She smiled up at me as I zipped up, her naked ass still sticking up in the air.
ÂÂ
“Thanks baby,†she said. “So…did you like it?â€Â
ÂÂ
I grinned back, liking the way she looked in her torn clothes. I wiggled my eyebrows at her. My dick twitched in my damp underpants, slick with her juice.
ÂÂ
“What about tomorrow?†I asked.
ÂÂ
“We’ll see if I can sneak away from my husband.†She sat up, tried to button her blouse, gave up and smiled at me demurely. “I’ll send you an email, like today. I want to do it on a bus. In front of a whole bunch of people.â€Â
ÂÂ
I nodded. I was already heading back up the trail, thinking about tomorrow…
I parked in the gravel lot and went in the back entrance of my local adult video store, crunching through the slate and kicking up little swirls of dust with each step. Neon lights in the windows advertised quarter show booths, booths that in reality didn’t accept coins – only increments of dollar bills, from singles all the way up to twenties. An a-frame style signboard missing several of its mismatched bright orange and yellow letters hawked five DVD rentals for $5.

n">ÂÂ
My kind of deal; just what I was looking for: cheap-ass entertainment.
          ÂÂ
           The smell hit me as soon as I walked through the doors. Every stroke shop I’ve ever been in has the same nasty funk hanging in the air, soaked into the woodwork - a gagging combination of dry, stale cum uneasily mingling with huge quantities of bleach and topped off with clouds of cigarette smoke; all of that fighting to be noticed under a hefty veil of depressing creepiness. At least the air conditioning was turned on,
ÂÂ
I steeled myself, ignored the odor and moved past the blow-up doll displays, the racks of sex toys, the greasy, fingerprint-smeared glass counters full of colorful liquids and gels and condom packets. Nodded to the bored pierced, tattooed twenty-something’s lounging behind the counter, whose torn thrift-shop attire and purple and blue-dyed hair guaranteed them a life of great minimum-wage gigs just like this one. One of the two, an emaciated girl who was pulling off a great impression of a serious heroin addict, ignored me completely. Her companion glared at me sullenly, like I was going to try to shoplift a dildo or maybe, more likely, because I looked too much like his dad. I grinned and found the DVD’s for rent, racks of porn shelved along the walls and lined up on homemade shelving units in haphazard rows just past a pair of sensor alarm gates, a ton of smut tucked comfortably away in a room the size of a small warehouse.
          ÂÂ
           I took my time picking out my movies, going for the absolutely nastiest hardcore I could find, not wanting to really touch anything. Thank God for all that bleach. Even so, the CD jackets felt and looked greasy; and then I remembered the junkie-punks lounging at the counter, and guessed I knew how motivated they probably were to keep everything clean and germ free. I made sure to hold the movies like I would a dead skunk, using the tips of my fingers. I found an anal gang-bang orgy (‘Two hours of hardcore DP penetration!), a best-of chicks-with-dicks, a couple of rough sex sets and one or two seriously disturbing anime titles, tossed my choices on the counter. Heroin Girl had disappeared. Her buddy was eating a cold cheeseburger that might have been a day old, licking ketchup off his fingers and watching a video monitor, a movie with several couples humping in fast-forward. They looked a bit like bunnies fucking. Junkie-Boy roused himself enough to pause whatever he was screening, set me up with a rental account, drop my DVD’s into a black plastic bag and take my money. Then he went back to his choice of dinner theater. Heroin Girl was outside smoking a cigarette as I left. I smiled at her.
          ÂÂ
           “You have a nice day,†I said.
          ÂÂ
           She gave me a dose of full-on, disdainful punk-rock attitude, and wrinkled up her nose at me. I wondered if maybe I smelled like I’d been squirted by that imaginary dead skunk.  “Fuck-off, scumbag.â€Â
          ÂÂ
           She took a last drag and flicked her smoldering butt into the gravel alongside a few dozen other dead cigarettes; ground it out under the heel of her heavy Doc Martin boot. She rolled her eyes theatrically, and I watched her grumble while she clunked all the way back to the counter to not do her crappy job some more. Tough life, I thought. Then I shrugged, got in my car and drove home through the heat to my air-conditioned house and my DVD player.
          ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
Twenty minutes later, I was naked and spread-eagled on the couch with my mouth open and my chin drooping onto my chest, bored to tears. I understood why Junkie-Boy in the porn shop was fast-forwarding through his movie. I had one of my hard-chosen video picks on, my limp dick in one hand and the remote in the other, watching some young dyed-blonde bitch with huge fake tits unenthusiastically blow-jobbing her way through twenty or thirty guys (who all seemed to be having the same case of erectile dysfunction that I was currently having) when the phone rang. I did the same thing the kid at the store did when I interrupted him: I hit pause on the remote. Then I answered the phone.
           “Um, Grove? Is that you?†A soft female voice; musical and smooth like honey. It sounded vaguely familiar.
ÂÂ
           “Uh-huh…†I mumbled, still trying to place the voice.
ÂÂ
“This is Elizabeth. You remember?â€Â
ÂÂ
           Oh God, I thought. Elizabeth. An old friend of my last girlfriend, April, from time gone by; I’d met her once or twice, but April hadn’t seen much of Elizabeth since she married some uber-buff, male-model looking, upwardly-mobile freak of nature and stopped hanging out with anybody who either wasn’t in the beautiful people crowd or who didn’t earn half-a-million bucks a year. I half-remembered a crazily exotic, gorgeous woman, and guilty visions of wide, almond shaped eyes, thick brown hair, rich caramel skin and lush curves washed through my head. I fully remembered feelings of total and complete inadequacy the few times I’d been around her. Thanks to the images assaulting my senses, the skanky blonde frozen on my television screen suddenly morphed into a composite version of the Elizabeth I was seeing in my head.
ÂÂ
           My throat went dry, and my dick actually, finally, twitched. “Yeah…yeah, of course I remember…â€Â
ÂÂ
           I swear I could almost hear her grinning through the phone. “Cool. I’d hate to think you’d forget me.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “No chance,†I said, the words sounding like crunchy shards of glass.
ÂÂ
           “Ah, you’re still a sweetie, aren’t you?â€Â
ÂÂ
Sweetie, she said. All of a sudden, I was getting a little light-headed. I managed a laugh. “If you say so.â€Â
ÂÂ
She laughed too. More honey, dripping. The sound sent a shiver down my back. “Is April around?†she asked.
ÂÂ
“Um, no…  She’s been living in Europe, with her folks. Sorry.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Europe? So…what about you guys?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Yeah,†I said. “Things just, you know…didn’t last.â€Â
ÂÂ
Oh. Well… Shit. I’m sorry. I was going to invite her to this…party I was having Friday night.â€Â
ÂÂ
“That’s too bad. I’m sure she would’ve liked to go.†I didn’t know what else to say. There was a long, pregnant pause. I listened to the crackling void on the other end of the phone line, and I had the sinking feeling that our strained little conversation was over. Then Liz surprised me.
ÂÂ
“Hey, well, how would you like to come, Grove?â€Â
ÂÂ
I blinked. “Really?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Yeah. I know it’s kind of late notice, and it’s…a little silly, I guess, kind of a girlie thing, you know? I mean, you might not be interested, but I need to bring someone…†She drifted off.
ÂÂ
For a second, I wondered why she was asking me to come, not her husband. But that thought lasted the blink of an eye; if it meant seeing Liz again, there was no way I was going to refuse. I was honestly kind of curious anyway. And besides, my dick was harder than it’d been all morning, even after watching five bucks worth of porn. I didn’t have any big plans for Friday. What did I have to lose?
ÂÂ
“What kind of ‘girlie thing’ are we talking about?†I asked.
ÂÂ
She laughed again, nervously, I thought. I wondered what about talking to me could make Liz nervous. “It’s kind of…a…a lingerie party.â€Â
ÂÂ
My turn to laugh. Liz stayed quiet. I blinked, waited a beat before answering with a dumbfounded, “You’re kidding, right?â€Â
ÂÂ
Liz sighed on the other end of the line, then, matter-of-factly, “No.â€Â
ÂÂ
“You want me to come to a lingerie party.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Yeah, if you want….I mean, I know it sounds weird, but I promised there would be a bunch of us, and most of the girls I know are going to be there, but…†She paused, took a breath. “You know, you don’t have to buy anything if you don’t want to, but you could get a gift for April, and there’s going to be some stuff for guys too…leopard skin underwear, stuff like that…â€Â
ÂÂ
I chewed it over. Thought about maybe being the only guy in a roomful of tipsy, scantily-clad women. Thought about what April was going to say when she found out.
ÂÂ
I made up my mind. I was in. “Hey, sure Liz. It’ll be fun.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Really?†She sounded almost relieved. “You’ll come?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Yeah, I…â€Â
ÂÂ
“That’s great! Everybody’s going to get here about eight. Here let me give you my phone number and the directions to my house…â€Â
ÂÂ
“Okay, hold on and let me find a pen…â€Â
ÂÂ
I sat up and scribbled some notes on the back of my video receipt. Liz thanked me again, and we both hung up. I sat there with the phone in my lap for a long minute. Then I grinned and went back to my movie, and this time I didn’t have any trouble getting it up.
           I nodded, popped a jalapeno pepper in my mouth and chewed happily, savoring the oily burn. I’d just filled Andre in on yesterday’s events. He’d met Elizabeth once, after April and I bought our home, at our housewarming party. A long time ago, it seemed. I could see from his eyes that he had the same memories of her that I did. I grinned and wiped my hands on my napkin while I confirmed the question.
ÂÂ
“Yep. The whole truth, brotha. No shit.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Andre leaned back. The aluminum chair under his big ass squeaked and groaned. He adjusted his Yankees cap, wiped fingers down his wiry goatee, shook his head.
ÂÂ
“Damn, man. Shit like this isn’t fair. I knew that girl was a shark the minute I laid eyes on her.†He crossed his arms, chewed on his lip. “How come she invited you? Does that tall mocha drink dig the white boy cream?â€Â
ÂÂ
           I shrugged and sipped cold beer. The burn receded to a constant, pleasant tingle at the back of my tongue. “Hell if I know.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “You know, if she finds out – and you know she’s gonna – April’s gonna eat you alive if any shit happens.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “She will even if nothing happens.†I said, digging back into the pile of chips. “I’ll just cross my fingers. But nothing’s going to happen, you know, Liz is married, man, to some dude way out of my league.â€Â
ÂÂ
           “Doesn’t matter,†Andre waved that comment on by. “You said it didn’t sound like he’d be around anyway, right? You get there, all that pussy spread out on the couch and what-not; they’ll all be drinking wine, getting’ all tipsy and giggly, next thing you know they’ll be trying on the frilly panties and shit, modeling for you…then, BAM! You’ll be on the floor, humping away; drunk, horny bitches lined up to be fuckin’ you…â€Â
           “Look, Grove,†he pointed a finger at my cell phone. “Reg and I’ll be at Tin’s club tomorrow night, maxin’ with Barry and his boys.â€Â
ÂÂ
“They’re playing?†I asked. We’d known Barry from way back. He’d been a fixture on the local music scene since we were all in college together. Now he was heading up some retro-funk band that had been scaring up some hot press lately.
ÂÂ
“Yeah. Tin’s isn’t too far from where you’re gonna be, right? Only what – ten, fifteen minutes away? Anyway, you need some help handling all that pussy, you call us.†Andre leered, showing off a mouthful of big white teeth. He picked up his last taco and poured half a bottle hot sauce over it. “An’ we’ll come a’ runnin’.â€Â
I was running late Friday night. Got off work late and immediately got stuck in a massive snarl of traffic. Bumper to bumper for as far as the eye could see. I veered off the freeway at the closest exit to my house, stopped for a quick burger at a fast food drive-through, got stuck behind a soccer-mom’s van that was idling, belching black smoke. When I finally pulled back out into the streets, I opened my bag of food, only to discover the goon at the window got my order all wrong. Fuck it – I didn’t have time to go back and complain. I grumbled, but scarfed the shit down anyway, and took side streets the rest of the way home. Parked in the driveway and ran inside at twenty-to-eight, grabbed a quick shower, dressed, checked myself in the full-length mirror in the bedroom, frowned, dressed again. By the time I pulled up at Liz’s curb, it was a quarter past, and the street around her house was full of expensive luxury cars. I found a spot a ways up the hill, parked, beeped my car locked, and walked back, carrying a bottle of decent wine I’d picked up during my lunch hour.
ÂÂ
It was clear that Liz and her husband liked their privacy. Their house was big and old, set far back from the road on a good-sized chunk of real estate. The thing must’ve cost a fortune. Leafy, box-trimmed hedges surrounded the large, fresh-cut, forest green lawn, isolating the house further from the neighbors. All the lights inside were turned on. I opened the rod-iron gate and went down the front path to the door, rang the bell. Made sure my reflection looked good while the chime gonged somewhere deep in the house.
ÂÂ
I was about to ring again when a lock clicked open, and I heard that magic voice, the honey muffled behind the heavy wood door. Then the door opened, and Liz was there, smiling at me, smothering me with a wave of pure physical force. She was wearing a simple black dress that hugged every perfect curve, black silk stockings, and polished black stiletto heels. She nonchalantly tugged a flopped-down spaghetti strap back over a shapely, nut-brown shoulder and pulled me inside.
ÂÂ
“Grove! I didn’t think you were going to make it!†She said, and pushed the door gently closed. It clicked shut.
ÂÂ
I grinned sheepishly. “Yeah, sorry about that. Work…you know?â€Â
ÂÂ
She shook her head. Long silver baubles dangled from her earlobes, diamonds flashed in the light. Her dark eyes sparkled.
ÂÂ
“No,†she laughed, “not really.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Here,†I said, and awkwardly held out the bottle of wine. “I brought this for you.â€Â
ÂÂ
           She took the bottle and smiled, barely looked at it. Her eyes were still on mine.
ÂÂ
“Oh, baby, you didn’t need to do that.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Well, you know, it’s a party and all…â€Â
ÂÂ
She stepped close and hugged me. Her hair was cut shorter than I remembered, curling in waves close to her neck. A wispy brown lock tickled my nose, and felt her breath warm at the side of my throat. I hugged her back, feeling her body press tight against me. I got that lightheaded feeling again, and my dick began tingling, got harder than it had been during any of my recent jack-off time. I caught a whiff of perfume, sweet and subtle, that I barely referenced past my sudden sensory overload. There was something else in the air too, sharp and pungent, smelling like cinnamon; candles, or incense, maybe.
ÂÂ
We parted, and she took a second, looked me up and down. “You haven’t changed a bit, have you?†she asked.
ÂÂ
I wasn’t too sure how to take that, but she looked approving. “I guess not.â€Â
ÂÂ
“You look good enough to eat…†She smiled. Then she took my arm, wrapped it up in hers. “C’mon, let’s go introduce you to the girls…â€Â
ÂÂ
***
          ÂÂ
Liz walked me to the living room and made her introductions. I nodded as she ticked off the names she was telling me, making an effort to match names with faces, and even managing to remember a few. Andre about had it right: there were maybe twenty gorgeous women; some younger, some older, all dressed to the hilt, sipping wine and fruity mixed drinks. They were sitting in a loose semi-circle, on the sofa and in chairs; all positioned facing another, extremely busty older woman, primly dressed in a close-fitted business suit and skirt. She looked like she’d just stepped out of a Vanity Fair spread. Boxes and bags of things were spread out on the coffee table and tucked around her feet. Each of the ladies smiled appraisingly at me. I almost felt like I was dessert, just being brought out after a tasty meal.
           She flitted over to the bar, came back with a glass of something cold. Latched right back onto my arm. “Here, try it.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Every eye was still on me. I was definitely starting to feel like I was on display, definitely the odd man out. “Uh, cheers,†I said, and took a tentative sip. The drink was sweet, with a slight tang of alcohol and an almost bitter undercurrent of something I couldn’t place. For a second, I had a crazy feeling, remembering the old Agatha Christie type mysteries, where the detective has solved the murder, declaring death by poisoning, and goes on to describe how arsenic was supposed to taste, like bitter almonds. “Mm,†I mumbled, pushing the paranoid thought away. “That’s pretty good.â€Â
ÂÂ
           It was like a sigh of acceptance passed through the room. Liz smiled up at me. My head was absolutely swimming, being this close to her.
ÂÂ
           The older woman with all the packages licked her red painted lips with the corner of a tiny pink tongue. She patted her silver hair, made sure it was in place, pulled back in a severe bun. She winked at me. “Well,†she said. “Let’s make our guest comfortable and get started, shall we?â€Â
ÂÂ
           Next to me, still clinging to my arm, Liz almost curtsied. “Of course, Sarah. Sorry, all.†She turned to me, whispered, “Here, sit by me.â€Â
ÂÂ
           I let Liz pull me to the couch. The two women sitting there shifted to make room. A blonde in her early twenties patted the cushion next to her hip, smiled invitingly. We sat down. Liz set the bottle of wine in a bucket of ice on the table, and I wondered how much wine they’d already gone through. I wiggled in between the blonde and Liz, suddenly enjoying the press of warm female bodies next to me. I looked around; found that I was still the center of attention: the ladies stared and demurely sipped their drinks; the blonde who’d scooted over to make room smiled and practically nuzzled up next to me. Liz put her hand possessively on my thigh, and I almost jumped. She patted my leg, and I noticed that she wasn’t wearing her wedding ring.
The woman named Sarah clapped her hands, and all the attention immediately snapped back in her direction. “Back to business,†she said, smiled sweetly, and opened the bag sitting in front of her, rooted around. Tissue paper rustled. I took another sip of my drink, caught some of the women glancing at me out of the corner of their eyes. I raised my eyebrows, got more smiles. The blonde, I think her name was Kate, shifted, and her breast brushed my elbow. I tried to shrink my six-foot-two self into a smaller space and failed. Her breast stayed where it was. It was a nice, soft breast. Even so, I moved slightly closer to Liz, who started gently petting the inside of my leg. The blonde scooted closer, her big, soft boob again connecting with my elbow.
ÂÂ
I swallowed hard.
ÂÂ
There was a quiet murmur around the room, and all the attention focused back towards the front, to Sarah. “Okay, our first item would look fantastic on our new friend tonight, I think…†Sarah smiled my way as she said that, and held up a pair of heavy padded leather handcuffs.
ÂÂ
           “Holy shit,†I whispered. The blonde took my free arm and pressed my hand to her leg. I stared, and then took another slug from my glass as Liz’s hand found my crotch and continued its slow, steady petting.
ÂÂ
***
          ÂÂ
Forty-five minutes later, I was working on my fourth or fifth drink. I was tipsy enough to have lost count. Most of the bags and boxes were empty, I was horny as all hell, and my head was reeling. I wondered why; the drinks didn’t seem all that strong. Women had disappeared into the bedrooms, come back wearing skimpy silk and lace outfits, each one with less material than the last. Women drank and laughed while teasing me with little buzzing clit-stimulators and huge strap-on vibrators. The blonde next to me, Kate, was now naked except for a white satin push-up bra and a pair of crotchless panties. I knew they were crotchless because my fingertips were exploring and told me so. Sarah had taken off her suit top and skirt, and she was now standing with a small riding crop, modeling the black corset and stockings she’d had on underneath her clothes. She wore the outfit like an old pro. Liz was still in her dress, except both the straps were down off her shoulders now, and to me she looked sexier than any of the other ladies who were parading around in their new undies. She had her arm around my shoulder. She and Kate were both brazenly nuzzling my neck; Liz’s wandering hand had long since found the zipper to my pants and had disappeared inside; Blondie had unbuttoned most of my shirt, and was tickling my chest with her fingernails. I could see Sarah smiling at me with a wicked gleam in her eye. She smacked the tough leather crop down hard into her palm, and I jumped. Other eyes were beginning to turn our way…
ÂÂ
The sensation around my crotch was driving me out of my mind. Liz had me hard as a rock. Andre’s voice was playing over-and-over, like a loop reel in my head, ‘…next thing you know they’ll be trying on the frilly shit, modeling it for you…then, BAM! You’ll be on the floor, humping away…’
ÂÂ
“Whooo,†I muttered. “Need to use the bathroom, I think.â€Â
ÂÂ
Kate pouted as I extracted my hand from between her legs. Liz paused, gave me that seductive smile again, pointed. “Upstairs, first door on the left.â€Â
ÂÂ
“’Kay,†I said. “Back in a minute.â€Â
ÂÂ
“You hurry.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh, yeah.†I nodded.
ÂÂ
I excused myself and carefully wandered up the stairs, using the banister to steady myself. My head was spinning badly. I rounded the corner, found the bathroom. My dick was hanging out of my open pants, pointing straight out at an angle. I washed my hands and rinsed my face with cold water. I thought about what was going to happen when I want back downstairs, and stared at my dripping face in the mirror, realizing the blood pressure pounding through my dick wasn’t letting up. I was getting more than a little panicked. Shit, I thought. This isn’t natural.Did Liz drug me?
ÂÂ
Carefully, I left the bathroom and snuck a look around the corner, used my cell phone to zoom in and snap a picture. I crept back into the bathroom and shut the door, sat on the edge of the bathtub, called Andre. He answered on the second ring. I could hear a crowd, but no music. I guessed he was already at the club, but it was still too early for the band to have started.
ÂÂ
“Hey mutherfucker,†he shouted over the noise. “’Was’up? Where you at?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Dude, I’m here.†I hissed.
ÂÂ
“Where?â€Â
ÂÂ
I shook my head. He sounded drunker than I felt, but I knew it was more an act for the benefit of whoever was at the bar around him. Andre didn’t drink anything except mineral water. He thought everything else was poison aimed at the righteous black man.
ÂÂ
“I’m at that party I was telling you about.â€Â
ÂÂ
It took him a beat. “The bitch party?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Yeah.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Sssshhhiiiiit. You bangin’ yet?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Andre, shut up, dammit. I need your help.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Boy, a real man in yo’ place wouldn’t need no help.†He laughed.
ÂÂ
I groaned. “Man, I’m not Captain Jim-fucking-Kirk, alright?â€Â
ÂÂ
More laughter.
ÂÂ
“Look, I’m sending you a picture. Check it out. I’m trapped here with a couple dozen drunk, freaky women, and as cool as that sounds, I’m not eighteen fucking years old anymore, you know what I’m saying? I need some god-damn, dick-swinging help here, right now!â€Â
ÂÂ
I could hear Reg in the background, asking what was up. Andre was laughing so hard he could barely talk. “Shit, man, I was just fuckin’ around wit’ you, Grove, you know you my boy…â€Â
ÂÂ
I cut him off. “Just look at the damn picture. Okay? You remember the address?â€Â
I disconnected the line, mailed off the picture. As soon as it was sent, I stood, pocketed the phone and opened the bathroom door. I stepped out into the hall, right in front of a tidal wave of drunk and horny womanhood, surging up the stairs. Sarah and Liz led the charge. They stopped barely a foot away from me. Sarah ran the tip of her riding crop up and down my chest.
ÂÂ
“Well, well. We thought you ran away.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh, no,†I said, as I was surrounded by the flow of curvaceous, scantily clad bodies. “I was just coming back to join the party.â€Â
ÂÂ
“That’s very sweet. Liz told me you were a sweet boy.†Sarah smiled, and her eyes no longer held that bright, mischievous quality I thought I’d seen early. Now they looked…hungry.
ÂÂ
“Yeah, well…†I started. Small, warm hands were slowly touching me, running all over. I noticed Liz take my hand, felt a thick leather strap wrap around my wrist. “Hey, now! Uh, look, why don’t we go back down and…â€Â
ÂÂ
“I don’t think so, sweet boy.â€Â
ÂÂ
Sarah looked at Liz, who buckled the leather handcuffs tight. I was pushed and pulled over backwards. I lost my balance and fell into the mass of flesh, and then they were all over me. I struggled, but they pinned me to the floor and easily pulled my arms up over my head, tightened the straps of another cuff on my other arm, and then they started ripping at my clothes. I freaked. Started to yell, and Sarah nodded to Liz. She knelt by my head, I looked at her pleadingly, and when I opened my mouth, she stuffed a hard rubber ball inside, then wrapped it in a leather gag and buckled it around my head. My shoes and socks were pulled off, my pants and underwear followed fast, and my shirt was torn to shreds. Hungry, lusting eyes stared at me from above. More cuffs were clamped around my ankles. Sarah straddled my naked body, lightly stroked my swollen cock with her whip. The damn thing throbbed and twitched as she probed at it.
ÂÂ
“We’ve come to bring the…party…to you.â€Â
ÂÂ

ÂÂ
Andre snapped his flip-phone shut, slapped it down on the counter, feeling a little bit pissed at his best friend. He remembered Elizabeth, all right, remembered how fine she was, and he just couldn’t figure why Grove sounded so upset. Reg was sitting on the barstool opposite, staring at him, waiting for him to say something. On stage, Barry and the band were just getting their equipment set up, getting ready for their sound check.
           The sound tech in the upper booth called check; on stage, the band’s drummer lit into a groove, then Barry joined in with a heavy, rubbery base line. They sounded good-to-go to Andre. He was standing, ready to join the crowd already pushing up to the edge of the stage, but paused as his cell vibrated. Andre checked the phone’s screen: mail from Grove. He flipped open his phone, hit a button, and his jaw dropped.
ÂÂ
           “What?†Reg repeated over the roar of the crowd. “What the fuck’s goin’ on?â€Â
Andre held out the phone. Reg squinted, blinked, looked up at Andre.
ÂÂ
“That what I think it is?†he said.
ÂÂ
Andre just nodded.
ÂÂ
“We outta here?†Reg asked.
ÂÂ
A beat, then they both nodded together.
ÂÂ
“YO! BARRY!â€Â
ÂÂ
Andre cupped his hands around his mouth and bellowed while Reg wildly waved his arms. Barry glanced up, confused, spotted his friends and shrugged, as if to say, what?
“WE’LL CHECK YOU LATER, BRO!â€Â
ÂÂ
Then they were pushing out of the club, heading towards Andre’s car.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
The women dragged me, kicking and squirming, down the hall to the large master bedroom. Liz opened the door, and they hauled me onto a king-size bed. A heavy plastic sheet crackled underneath me. They gathered around the bed, several of them spreading my arms and legs into a wide X-shape. They cuffed my wrists to a heavy iron headboard and my legs to strong iron posts below. They hushed as Sarah straddled my legs, positioned her hips over my knees. She flicked the leather thong at the tip of her riding at my nipples, stinging. She used it to caress me, slid the tip along my jaw.
ÂÂ
“Now, Sweet,†she whispered. “Don’t be frightened. You’ve been chosen, just for this, specially, by my dear Elizabeth.â€Â
ÂÂ
Liz smiled vacantly. Like there was nobody home.
ÂÂ
Sarah slid forward, easing herself over my throbbing cock.
ÂÂ
“Do you like that, Sweet?†Sarah hissed through clenched teeth. “Don’t you like being so hard?†She reached between her legs and grabbed me, pulling my shaft towards warm, moist lips. “Just a little special powder that dear Elizabeth slipped into your drinks, so you’ll be able to pleasure us for hours and hours.â€Â
ÂÂ
I closed my eyes as she sank onto me, wiggling like a snake, her pussy taking me in, inch by inch. A low hum filled the room, and I opened my eyes. Sarah had her whip in one hand, balled into a tiny fist and braced on my chest; the other was busy untying the red satin ribbon binding her corset closed. Her eyes were closed tight, a look of pure rapture etched on her smooth face. In the dim light, her pale skin shined like porcelain. Liz knelt on the bed at the left side of my head, eyes closed, her body swaying slightly. She stroked my hair. The hem of her dress was pulled up over her hips, her fingers lightly rubbing her between her thighs. Blondie was on my right, and she’d taken a different approach: she’d pressed her body against the wall by my trapped hand and jammed my fingers into her pussy. Warm juice flowed down over my wrist. The other women around me chanted in a single, sing-song voice, their eyes flickering, bodies moving as one.
ÂÂ
Above me, Sarah’s hips began a slow, serpentine writhing. She bent forward; mashing her heavy tits into my chest, the soft muscles in her pussy squeezing and releasing my cock as she moved. Her lips grazed my neck, nibbled gently at the hollow of my throat. She opened her eyes and smiled, whipped my side with her crop. I grunted into the gag and my entire body lurched up off the bed with the sudden, stinging pain. She whipped me again, and again, from side to side, each lash stinging, making me twist under her, try to flinch away, but it just drove me further up inside her.
ÂÂ
“Move, sweet boy. Move with me…â€Â
ÂÂ
She kept her face level with mine, one hand grabbing my throat, choking me; she hit me harder and faster, until I was bucking spasmodically underneath her, my cock driving up into her pussy. She grunted with effort, and her eyes seemed to cloud over with pleasure as she hurt me, relishing my pain, whipping me into a frenzy.
ÂÂ
“That’s it…†she moaned softly, “Ummm…so big and hard…,†Her voice changed, dropped to a hiss, a whisper, “You know Sweet, dear Elizabeth slipped you a tiny bit of a very strong drug in each of your drinks…mmmm…that’s it, right…there…mmm, just like that, Sweet…that’s…beautiful…†She gasped and dug her red fingernails into the soft skin of my neck. She swallowed me completely inside, sucking me fully into her warm, juicy cunt. She squirmed happily, rubbing her round bottom on my groin. “Each drink had a large enough dose to make you stay hard and lively for all of us to enjoy you, no matter how many times we decide to take you. Isn’t that wonderful? Mmmmmmm…ohhh…â€Â
ÂÂ
She licked a finger, ran it down my forehead, over my cheek, and tickled the gag in my mouth. Wiped away the spit oozing down my face; licked her fingers clean. She laughed and began grinding, moving harder and faster, raking her nails over my chest and shoulders hard enough to draw blood. I groaned and cried out, the sounds completely muffled. Sarah fucked me slowly, her whip always working, turning my sides a beet red. Tears of paid and frustration joined the saliva pooling on the plastic under my head, but my dick seemed to have a mind of its own, throbbing painfully with ever tiny squeeze from her pussy.
ÂÂ
When Sarah finally began to peak, the chanting around us rose to a crescendo. Most of the women I could see were openly masturbating. Sarah pushed away from me, arched her spine and threw her head back. She howled towards the ceiling, her huge tits bouncing, her butt grinding and slapping against my thighs. I fought and fought the urge to cum, but she finally won. She came with a long, sharp cry, her pussy clenching me so hard that I exploded with her, pumping thick white streams of cum, just as her hot juice ran and dribbled down my belly and thighs. Sarah collapsed on top of me, breathing hard, and I heard other women climax as well. I lay still, my cock still hard; aching and buried deep, moisture dripping onto the plastic sheet under my ass.
ÂÂ
Minutes passed, and when Sarah sat up again, through the muted light, I could swear her eyes had turned to dark slits.
ÂÂ
Sarah paused for a moment, distracted, like she was listening for something only she could hear, then smiled and turned to two of the younger women. “Well, well. Susan, Tabitha – it seems that Elizabeth’s friend here has taken it on himself to invite more guests. Most unexpected, but…they are just now arriving. Why don’t you go and greet them, offer them refreshments before bringing them back here, hmm?â€Â
ÂÂ
I could hear the girls mumble, “Of course, Mistress.†Then I heard Elizabeth’s doorbell chiming - once, twice - quietly, as if from very far away; and then the soft patter of the girls’ footsteps receding down the hall.
ÂÂ
And while Sarah turned her attention back to me, through a blurry haze of drugs and pain, I wondered what the hell I’d gotten myself and my friends into.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
“There, that’s it.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Andre drove past the house, hunting for a place to park. That was the address, for sure, her thought, and damn, Grove wasn’t kidding about the party being packed. There were cars lined up halfway up and down the block. He cruised up a short hill, spotted Grove’s car.
ÂÂ
“Lookie-lookie,†Andre hummed, tapping the steering wheel with his thumb. “Grove even saved a space for us…†How was that for luck? He pulled a fast u-turn, parked right behind Grove’s old Beamer, then they got out and walked.
ÂÂ
“Damn, will you look at this shit?†Reg whistled when they got close. The house stank of big money.
ÂÂ
“Yeah, I know what you mean.†Andre noticed all the lights were on. “Looks like the party’s still happenin’, Yo.â€Â
ÂÂ
They followed the walkway to the porch, tapped the doorbell twice. Andre listened to the chime, deep inside, kept humming, feeling loose and horny, remembering the roomful of tiny, half-naked women in the picture Grove sent. Reg kept staring, soaking in the size of the place.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
“That’s a good, sweet boy,†Sarah hissed, after the girls had gone. “You’ve given up your seed, as you were chosen to do. And now…â€Â
ÂÂ
Sarah grabbed her crop in both hands, and pulled hard. A tiny, silver knife slipped from its sheath hidden in the handle of the whip, and my eyes went wide. I tried to scream and shake my head no…no, please, no!; but Liz wrapped a fist in my hair, holding me still. The gleaming blade bit deep, sliced a jagged oval from my naval past my nipples. Fresh blood spurted, mingling with the blood still oozing from the scratches Sarah’s fingernails had dug into my skin. I screamed into the gag and thrashed like a madman. My limbs were still buckled tight, and I flopped uselessly around on the bed. Sarah bent and lapped at the warm, sticky blood flowing from the shallow gash she’d carved.
ÂÂ
Then, with a sickening, gurgling laugh, Sarah lifted her head to mock my screams, and finally, she showed me her true face.
ÂÂ
I stared, horrified, at the thing that was Sarah, as her ruby lips blackened and peeled away over glistening needle sharp fangs; her tongue rolled out, long and bloated and covered with bristles that stuck like barbs in my skin, ripping away thin strips of skin as she began to feed. All around me, the women were changing: their smooth, creamy skin giving way to pale, scaly, dead flesh. Round eyes turned to black slits, fingers to claws. And hovering just above me, April’s friend, Elizabeth: the beautiful Elizabeth; bending close, brutally mashing my head to the side, grinning obscenely as her lovely smile distended; hot saliva dripped from the yawning pit of her mouth, burning on my cheek as her jagged teeth tore at my throat…
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
When the door finally opened, both Andre and Reg thought they’d died and gone to heaven. They were greeted by two phenomenal looking bitches swishing twin crystal drinking glasses that were brimming with scotch poured over chipped ice, and they were decked out in some of the skimpiest, sexiest bra’s and panties Andre had ever seen outside of a magazine.
ÂÂ
They were still standing there staring, goggle-eyed and open-mouthed, when the girls made the first move. One smiled at Reg, the other at Andre. Without uttering a word, the girls batted their eyes, handed the dumbfounded men the drinks, then took them by the arm and whisked them inside. Reg automatically took a huge swig, downing half the drink in a gulp. The girl on his arm looked on approvingly. Andre looked down at his glass, back at the girl smiling up at him.
ÂÂ
“Well, hey. Thanks, girl. Mm, damn! What is this, whiskey? How did you know that’s just what I needed?â€Â
ÂÂ
The girl just kept on smiling. She snuggled close, pressed warm, luscious curves against him. She giggled and wiggled her eyebrows suggestively. “Try some.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Well, yeah, alright…,†Andre gulped at her touch, his crotch jumping to attention. “Let’s get this party started, huh?†Andre reluctantly sipped his drink, hating the booze’s smell, hating the burn of the alcohol as it trickled down his throat, hating the buzz he knew he was going to get from having even just this one glass; wishing to hell it was soda water. But everybody was watching and he didn’t want to play the fool, so he sipped anyway, and that’s when the little Asian cutie on his arm reached out, giggling, and tipped his glass straight up. Ice chips clunked against Andre’s teeth, and the amber liquid splashed down his throat, over his shirt.
ÂÂ
He came up sputtering, eyes burning, staring at his ruined silk shirt. Reg and the tiny redhead clutching his arm laughed like it was the funniest damn thing they’d ever seen.
ÂÂ
“Dammit, look at this shit,†he growled.
ÂÂ
Reg was biting the lip of his glass, still snickering. “Yo, man. You s’posed to drink it. Like this…†He took another gulp, downed the rest of his drink, and turned to his girl. “That’s damn good, baby. Got any more?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Mm-hmm,†she teased, pulling him over to the bar by the stairwell. “Right over here…â€Â
ÂÂ
Andre futilely brushed at the alcohol dripping off his chin. The Asian cutie pouted for a second, then stepped closer when he ignored her. She gave him an impish little smile, and then started popping open his shirt buttons.
ÂÂ
He took an involuntary step back as buttons bounced and scattered onto the polished floor. “Whoa – hey now…!â€Â
ÂÂ
The girl stared up into Andre’s eyes, her hands massaging his bare chest. “Why don’t you just finish the rest of that, and then come upstairs with me and we’ll get you out of these wet clothes?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Um, okay…†He mumbled.
ÂÂ
Andre took a last swig, swallowed with a wince. Then he let her take his hand, and found himself following her up the stairs, staring at her swishing ass. Reg and his girl were already halfway up, Reg stumbling a little, playfully pulling at her panties, the girl not doing much to stop him.
ÂÂ
Andre’s eyes still stung. His vision blurred and he blinked hard, trying to clear it. The girl’s ass faded in and out. He realized he was about to get laid. Unbelievable. He hoped he wouldn’t have a hard time breaking out the condoms. He tried to think of something witty to say, to help break the tension. Came up with a lame, “So, Baby? What’s your name?â€Â
ÂÂ
She peeked over her shoulder. “Tabitha.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Tabitha…†Andre mumbled. He was already feeling a little bit juiced. That was some strong shit she made me guzzle, he thought. “We, uh, we were here to meet up with a friend of ours, a dude named Grover…er, well, he goes by Grove. White boy, but big, tall, you know? Played ball wit’ him back in school in the day…â€Â
ÂÂ
He was babbling. Shit felt all wrong, he needed some time to sort things out, get through the bleary haze that had taken over most of his skull. Tabitha seemed to notice he was hesitating, took him by the hand. “He’s right up here, sweetheart, in the bedroom with everybody else.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh, okay,†he nodded, as she pulled him on down the hall. “Hey – you say ‘sweetheart’?â€Â
ÂÂ
           For an answer, Tabitha gave him another enigmatic look, a look that sent his blood pounding.
ÂÂ
Reg and his girl disappeared into a doorway, through which eager, female faces peeked out. Andre felt his crotch give him a push, felt it taking over, losing control. He was blinking hard now, lurching a little from side-to-side, when Tabitha guided him through the doorway.
ÂÂ
Andre dropped her hand and glanced around. He shook his head, still trying to clear his vision. It wasn’t working, just making the back of his skull pound. The room started spinning. He closed his eyes and stopped dead, right inside the doorway. Hands reached for him, pulled him partway into the room, yanked at his wet, stained shirt, began unbuckling his pants. He groaned happily, enjoying the beginnings of his erection. The first thing he noticed, when he opened his eyes again, was Reg, completely surrounded by about six hot bitches that were pushing him to the floor, literally ripping off his clothes. Reg was giggling like a girl, halfway naked already, playfully biting at a pair of hard pink nipples swaying just out of his reach.
ÂÂ
“Holy crap.â€Â
ÂÂ
Andre felt hands on his hips and looked down at Tabitha, who was kneeling in front of his crotch, pushing his pants down around his ankles. His cock sprung out, almost smacked her in the face. She wrapped him up in a tiny little fist, started pumping. When her lips touched him, Andre heard himself groan with pleasure.
ÂÂ
He looked back down noticed the floor, some kind of funky carpet…no, not carpet, more like…plastic wrap, spread all over …?
ÂÂ
Before he could think about what that meant any further, a half dozen women circled him. Fingers ran through his short, spiky dreadlocks. Hands played with his shoulders, his chest, pinched his ass. The crowd of women parted, and Andre glimpsed a hot-looking old bitch, riding the life out of some lucky dude tied to the bed. The dude’s legs and feet quivering, strapped to the headboard by the wrists, his hands knotted into fists clenched so hard the tendons stood out in his forearms. Andre saw something familiar, squinted to get a better look. A tattoo on one of the dude’s forearms, of some Muppet character – just like the one that Grove had done back in high school…
ÂÂ
The fact took a moment to register. Then Andre called to his friend.
ÂÂ
“Grove?â€Â
ÂÂ
           The woman straddling Grove turned and growled at the interruption, gnashing wickedly sharp teeth, wiping at a red smear dribbling down her chin. Another face that Andre recognized looked up as well, and he gasped. Elizabeth – or what passed for Elizabeth now. Both women were covered in blood; blood that was still weakly spurting from Grove’s skinned chest. Bare bone shone under crimson stained gristle. Grove’s body twitched spasmodically; free of Elizabeth’s grip, his head lolled forward, his eyes rolled back in their sockets, focused, then came to rest on Andre.
ÂÂ
           Grove moaned wetly, whispered through bloody foam, “Help me…â€Â
ÂÂ
 Andre’s eyes popped open, his vision suddenly very clear. And then, Reg started screaming. Andre turned to see his friend being eaten alive…
           Andre felt needle sharp teeth bite into the thick muscles of his shoulders. Something hissed down by his groin, and he squealed in pain, jerked backwards as Tabitha bit into his penis, tearing away a mouthful of the organ with a spray of blood. Andre grabbed at his wounded manhood, tangled his feet in his pants and fell into the hall. He tried to crawl away from the horror, clawing at the thick carpet, mewling like a kitten. But strong hands grabbed him by the ankles and pulled him back into the bedroom. He struggled, but it was useless. Women covered him and he was flipped over, held easily in place on the floor as Reg’s howls became fainter, turned into a weak gurgling.
ÂÂ
           The old woman slithered off Grove’s supine body, stood over Andre as he whimpered in fear and pain. She knelt, straddling his hips, bared her teeth in a wide, gory smile.
ÂÂ
           “Welcome,†she hissed in a voice that wasn't remotely human, “to the party.â€Â
ÂÂ
           Andre had time to scream, once. And then the women began to feed.
Deena and I finished humping and she flopped over on her back, breathing hard. She snuggled close to me, throwing a slim leg over my thighs and tucking her head under my chin. I wrapped my arm around her shoulders and enjoyed the feel of her warm, moist crotch pressed against my hip. Time for a breather. The two of us went to school together, both in our freshman year of college, but we only met after my buddy Dave tried to score with her. As usual for Dave, Deena decided that he was too good a ‘friend’ to be a boyfriend and dumped him, even though she ‘loved him’.
Now, as far as Deena was concerned, she was free to divide and conquer our little group of friends.
Little tart.
She came to our groups last New Years bash and picked me to s

tart her trail of destruction with, then made her move. Several beers and a glass or two of bubbly later, Deena asked me to give her a ride home. Normally in a situation like this I would’ve steered clear, but Dave gave me the greenlight to screw her, so I didn’t argue. We left as the confetti began to fall. I drove her home and walked her up to her apartment; she jumped me, and we spent most of the next few days between classes playing dirty little games in her bed or my car. Even once in the bathroom at the student lounge at school.
It was exactly a week to the day that we first slept together before Deena asked me The Question.
"Dev?"
"Hmn?"
"When did you lose it?"
Je- Sus. Ten times worse than the ‘ Love ’ question. There’s absolutely no right answer for this one, and it leads right into the ‘ how many have you had ’ question. I could already feel myself pulling my pants on and searching for my keys.
"Um. I was pretty young, I guess."
Deena stroked my chest and wiggled. "How young?"
The first time a girl asked me this, I told her the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Basically. I’m not entirely stupid. But our relationship still lasted a grand total of three minutes afterwards. And so, in the series of relationships that have followed, I’ve modified my answer. Now it just rolls off my tongue; I don’t even think about what I’m saying. I’m not exactly lying my ass off, because everything I was about to tell Deena really did happen. It just wasn’t my first time. And besides, it’s a cool story, at least among my buddies.
I closed my eyes and went for it. "Fourteen."
"Wow. Really?"
I nodded. "Yep."
"Were’d you do it?"
No big deal , I thought. You knew this was just a fling. Devin and Deena. No chance for any kind of relationship with names like that.
"You don’t really want to know this, do you?"
She grinned and climbed back on top of me, wiggling her pussy around on my crotch. I glanced from her face to her tits, which were gently rubbing back and forth on my chest, and I smiled at how perky they were. For such a skinny girl, they were a nice, big mouthful, too. I was gonna miss those babies.
"Yeah. I do."
God . Let it go already . I felt my cock getting happy again. So did she. I sighed as she slipped me slowly back into her pussy.
"I’ll tell you if you tell me," she teased.
"Huh." I grunted. "Sure you will."
"I will!"
"It was in a graveyard."
She giggled. "Seriously?"
I sighed again. "Yeah. I went to a Halloween party my freshman year. We all got really drunk and played spin the bottle. This older girl got dared to take me and go mess around in the graveyard down the block from where the party was."
"What was her name?"
"Susie. She was a punk-rock wannabee, so I think she had to do it, just to save face. She didn’t want to be known as the wanker-girl who couldn’t take a dare." I was beginning to have a hard time concentrating on our conversation. Deena nipped at my chin with her little, white teeth, teasing me more.
"And you did it? On Halloween?"
"Yep. And I lived to tell the tale."
"Did you like it?"
"Well, yeah. Except she bit me."
That got a laugh. "What?"
"She was going down on me, and there were all these bats flying around. It was kinda creepy. Anyway, she freaked out, and...well. She bit me."
"No way."
I rolled Deena off and showed her my cock.
"You can still see the scar."
"Omigod! Those are teeth marks!"
"Yep."
" Wait-a-minute . She bit you hard enough to leave a mark, and..."
Deena looked up at me, her eyes wide and my dick clenched in her hand.
"You still had sex?"
"Hell, yes." I grinned. "Hurt like somebody dunked it in acid when we started, but I was drunk enough that I didn’t really care. And no way was I gonna stop."
"Wow. Well after all that, I should be glad it still works. Here, let me kiss it and make it all better."
And she bent over and did just that.
ÂÂ
The rest of that night went pretty well.
Fortunately for me, Deena’s mouth was full of cockmeat, so she never seguewayed into other relationship topics, and I’ve learned the hard way never to ask when and how many guys a chick’s had. Fucks with your head way too much if they tell you. But still, we were together just about the time it takes to watch an average baseball game before Deena broke up with me. Maybe she, too, realized that our name combination sounded absolutely stupid, because she swam a bit further downstream and found fresh pickings - our buddy Brian.
I didn’t get too broken up about it. Their names sounded better together anyway. I don’t know if Deena asked Brian the same crap she asked me. Probably did. But her question got me thinking about my first sex experiences; the raunchy sexual foundation that allowed me to deal with all the weird stuff that’s happened to me over the last few years, from double-teaming one of my best friends’ mom, to getting kidnapped and raped by one of my old high school teachers and her kinky friends.
ÂÂ
ÂÂ
ÂÂ
The first honest-to-God, I-want-to-fuck-the-hell-out-of-somebody erection that I can remember happened when I was really little; maybe only three or four years old. Both of my folks were at work, and I was staying with my grandparents for the day. My grandma had a bunch of her ladyfriends over for lunch, and they were all passing me around, taking turns hugging my cute-as-a-button self in-between bites of tiny little sandwiches and sips of iced tea.
I was happily feeling each old lady up as I was transferred from lap to plump, matronly lap. They all grinned and mashed me into their big, old lady tits. Most kids I’ve know freak out when the blue hair brigade attacks, but for me, it was like heaven. After making the rounds I ended up sitting with a woman named Peggy, who lived just across the street and up the hill from my grandparents.
Peggy hugged me and gave me a kiss on the cheek, and let me sit on her lap for most of the lunch.
I spent the next hour enjoying her arm around my waist and rubbing my back up against her tits, feeling light-headed and horny. I was sporting some serious wood for a four-year-old kid. My grandma must’ve noticed how flushed I was, because after all the ladies left for home, she took my temperature and made me lie down in her bed for the rest of the afternoon.
That was okay with me. Gave me plenty of time to discover the joys of masturbation.
ÂÂ
ÂÂ
ÂÂ
By the time I was five, I was a huge fan of the Batman television show.
Let me rephrase that: I was a huge fan of Batgirl from the Batman show. That damn costume was so sexy. Every day at noon I’d be lying on the living room floor in front of the TV set, grinding my little dick into the carpet while I fantasized about Batgirl getting caught by any one of the crazy arch-criminals. On television, the fantasy only got halfway: the bad guy would catch her in some fiendish trap, but then she’d get away.
I always wanted to see one of the supervillians rip that tight Batgirl leotard off and screw her silly. Never happened.
At least she got tied up a lot. Gotta take your thrills were you can get ‘em, even when you’re five. Actually, on the show, the heroes always got caught and tied up. The shit the villains cooked up never worked (see the Batgirl note above), but I think that’s probably where I first developed my bondage fetish. I remember running around in our basement wearing nothing but my mom’s panties and a sheet tied around my shoulders, pretending I was Batman.
That show had so much homo-erotic bullshit going on, it’s a wonder I’m not more screwed up than I am.
Granted, I really didn’t have any idea what sex was then, just that my pee-pee felt dang good when I played with it. And just the sight of Batgirls’ ass in that costume did shit to me that even smacking my dick into the wall couldn’t accomplish.
But I was soon to get a major lesson.
ÂÂ
ÂÂ
Everybody I know has a ‘cool’ aunt or uncle, and I was no different. When my little sister was born, I went to stay with my dad’s sister Rachel for a few days, which was great. She bought me Batman comic books and read them with me, both of us snuggled up together on her brown vinyl (she called it ‘ pleather ’) couch. Aunt Rachel took me rollerskating and out to movies (King Kong with Jeff Bridges and Jessica Lange comes to mind), and she made sure we ate at all the places I liked.
And best of all, she looked just like the television Batgirl did in her secret identity as Barbara Gordon. What kid could ask for more?
Her apartment was a cramped one bedroom with a tiny kitchen and a smaller bathroom. I think the plan was for me to sleep on her couch while I was there, so I’m not sure how I ended up sleeping in her bed with her. Maybe I ate too much ice cream and Mexican food that first night and had a bad dream; I really don’t remember. But I do know that at some point in the middle of the night, I woke up out of a sound sleep. I found myself pressed tightly against my aunt with my legs tangled in hers and my face pillowed on her chest. She was breathing hard and I could feel her arm - the arm that wasn’t pinned underneath me - moving up and down, slowly and rythmically.
Eventually she sighed softly and I felt her relax next to me.
I stayed quiet, pretending to be asleep. A few minutes ticked by and I tried to stay still, but my pee-pee (that’s what my grandma called it, anyway) was pressing against my aunt’s hip, and it was getting big and hard. I twitched, and my aunt mumbled something to herself that I couldn’t hear. Then she gently pulled away from me and rolled over onto her side.
Her body shook like she was crying and I wanted to ask if she was okay, but I didn’t. I just scooted closer to her, wrapped myself against the curve of her back and hugged her. Eventually she rolled over and kissed my forehead, hugging me back. I stayed awake a long time after that, slowly running my hand over the soft silk of her nightgown and enjoying the feel of her warmth next to me.
The next morning we didn’t talk about what had happened, but I was bound and determined to sleep in the bed with her again; not on the couch. Lady luck was with me again that night.
When it was my bedtime, my aunt helped me get in my pajamas and brush my teeth. When I was ready she tucked me into her bed with a goodnight kiss. I got a little boner as soon as her lips touched my forehead. I tried to stay awake, listening to the voices from the TV in the other room, but I guess I dozed off. I woke up again when she came in for bed and turned on the lights.
She glanced at me to see if I was awake. But I was ready for her, lying flat on my back with my eyes squished shut and snoring, pretending to be dead asleep.
"Sleep tight, Dev," she whispered, and gave me another kiss.
When she was satisfied that I was still sleeping, she quickly unbuttoned her blouse and slipped it off, then folded it and put it away. I peeked as she kicked off her shoes and unzipped her skirt. She let the skirt fall to the floor, took a hairbrush from her dresser and started to brush her curly brown hair.
My aunt couldn’t see me from her mirror, but from where I was lying, it gave me a great view of her whole body. I opened my eyes and took her all in: her tiny waist and round ass, her long, slim legs still clad in her black nylons, her small, firm breasts cupped in her lacy black bra, everything. Right at that moment, she was the living fulfillment of all the little boy fantasies I’d ever had.
And I knew then and there that no superheroine on any TV show could ever live up to this real woman standing right in front of me, close enough for me to reach out and touch. So I flipped my mental Two-Face coin and made up my five-year-old mind. I decided to discover what I’d missed out on the night before.
She finished brushing out her hair, and I was surprised at how long it was. It fell in lush, foamy brown curls down to her shoulder blades. When she set the brush down, I clenched my eyes shut while she stepped into the bathroom. I heard her pee, and then the toilet flushed and water was running in the sink. I listened to her wash her hands and brush her teeth, then the room got a little darker when she turned off the bathroom light.
The only other woman I’d ever seen naked before was my mom. I didn’t know what to expect from my aunt, but here she was, right in front of me, just dressed in her underwear and stockings. It was all I could do to keep still, but I knew if I moved a muscle before she climbed into bed, my scheme was all over.
After what seemed like a long time she sighed and turned out the bedroom light. The room went dark behind my eyelids, so I figured it was safe to open my eyes and peek. I watched her pad over to the bed, the soft glow from a streetlight outside the window highlighting the curves of her body. She pulled the bedcovers back, giving me a little chill. Springs squeaked as she sat on the edge of the mattress and took off her stockings.
Finally, she slipped under the covers and sighed. It’s funny, but I remember her soft skin to be freezing cold, but warm and cozy at the same time. She snuggled up to me and we both lay still, listening to the quiet.
This time, I didn’t doze off.
I was just learning to tell time at home on a real clock with numbers and hands. My aunt had a digital clock on her nightstand, which made it easier for me. When she crawled into bed the clock told me it was eleven-thirty five, and I watched it for a long time. When the clock said it was almost midnight, I rolled over on my side and snuggled closer against her.
I heard her breath catch in her throat and her body tensed when I threw my right arm over her belly.
My aunt wasn’t wearing a nightgown tonight, just her bra and a pair of panties. Her belly was warm and smooth, and the muscles in her stomach twitched at my touch. I wiggled even closer to her, until she lifted her right arm and let me burrow into the side of her body. I gently slipped my leg over hers, and then we were back in the same position we were in the night before.
She smelled good to me, like flowers. I took a deep breath and relaxed, and let my hand rest on her belly, just above her panties. She waited for me to settle in, still tense. After a of couple minutes she gently touched my shoulder.
"Devin? Are you awake?"
"Mghmpfh," I mumbled into her neck. I tucked my chin into my chest, bringing my face down closer to the swell of her breast. I mumbled again and rubbed myself against her. My face brushed over her bra, the lace pressing into my cheek.
"Oh God," she whispered. "Devin? Sweetie? Are you awake?"
I pretended to snore. My aunt shifted a little bit, and I felt cold air on my arm as she pulled the sheets back. I settled down quickly after that, with her breast mashed into my face. She didn’t get up, but she felt so tense, I wondered if I’d pushed my little plan too far already. The sheets rustled as she moved her leg and I almost panicked, thinking she was going to get up, maybe go in the other room and try to sleep on the couch.
But she didn’t.
Instead, her hand brushed mine as she slipped it under the waistband of her panties, and after a moment I felt the slow, up and down movement from her arm as she quietly played with herself. The glow from the window gave me enough light to see her legs, spread loosely open, and her fingers working under her panties.
She tried to be quiet, but occasionally she’d whimper or make little happy sounds deep in her throat. Once, her body jerked hard, shoving her leg into my crotch, and my little fella decided he wanted to play, too. I tried to make a sleepy-head sound and pushed back against her leg with my hips, rubbing my swollen little dick up her thigh. I thought she might try to wake me up and tell me to stop, but all she did was grind her hips in a slow circle. I smashed my crotch against her leg as hard as I could.
It felt so good. I made another sleepy sound and rubbed my face on her breast, trying to push the material of her bra down with my chin so that I could see her nipple. After a minute or two it worked; her hard little nipple popped out, almost right into my mouth.
I was trying to get the courage up to kiss it when she let out a long, shaky moan and her hips shot straight up, quivering in the air. Something smelled funny then, sort of like the tuna fish sandwiches my dad liked. I slid my hand down over her panties. They were warm and wet, like she didn’t get to the toilet fast enough and tinkled a little in them.
She moaned again while I was trying to process that information, her body jerking harder this time.
Her whole body twitched, and she whispered something that sounded like old cheesus . I heard a wet whoosh come from her crotch, just like the sound my pee makes when I’ve had to hold it for a long time and really have to go bad, and finally get to use the bathroom. Warm water soaked her panties, covering my hand and the inside of her legs, and then the room smelled really bad. She quickly moved my hand; then she rolled off the bed, ran into the bathroom and shut the door, leaving me lying in my first wet spot.
By the time she came out, I’d fallen asleep. I barely registered her moving me around when she changed the bed sheets. I do remember her pulling off my pajama shirt, because it was soaking wet. Then she crawled back into bed, and this time she snuggled up next to me . Her whole body felt damp and sweaty, and now, looking back on it, I don’t think she was wearing any clothes. But that could just be my memory playing tricks on me.
"Devin, hey." She said, nudging me. "Dev?"
I kept quiet.
"Don’t be scared, Dev. Okay?" I held my breath as her hand rested on my chest. "I’m...going to try to make you feel really nice."
I opened my eyes, and my aunt was smiling down at me. She kissed me softly, on the lips, and then she eased her body over mine, under the covers. Her kisses trailed down my tummy and further, and I gasped as something warm and wet wrapped around my little pee-pee. I felt her soft arms wrap around my bottom, and for a second I watched her head bob slowly under the sheets. Then I closed my eyes, and I don’t remember much more after that.
ÂÂ
ÂÂ
The next morning she woke me up bright and early, and we went out for a huge pancake breakfast. She barely spoke two words to me the whole meal. When we got back to her apartment, the telephone was ringing off the hook. She answered it and jumped up and down, laughing and talking a mile-a-minute. It was my dad, calling to tell us that I had a bouncing baby sister, and that he’d be by to pick me up the next day. I was just happy she was finally smiling again.
That night, my aunt got me ready for bed early. It was really warm in her apartment, so she let me sleep in just my underpants. I didn’t even try to stay awake after she tucked me in, but I woke up again as soon as she pulled back the covers. I waited until she was quiet and scooted over to her, and she wrapped her arm around me and kissed my forehead, like she always did.
"I know you’re awake, Dev." She whispered in my ear, stroking my hair. "Don’t pretend tonight, okay?"
I took a big breath, and whispered back, "Okay, Auntie Rachel."
"I know you were awake last night, too. Weren’t you?" she asked.
"Uh-huh."
She let out a deep breath. I waited quietly.
"Oh, boy. That’s not good."
"Why?" I shifted so I could look up at her. She looked so pretty there in the dark, staring up at the ceiling, I just had to tell her. "Auntie Rachel, I think you’re the prettiest lady in the whole world."
She rolled onto her side, facing me.
"Devin, I...I don’t think..." She shook her head. "Really? You do?"
I was falling asleep again, but nodded solemly.
"When I grow up, I want to marry you."
She laughted softly and stroked my hair, then wrapped her arms around me and pulled me close.
ÂÂ
My dad was ringing the speaker-bell at noon the next day. I was already packed, and my aunt helped me carry my little red suitcase while we took the elevator down to the lobby of her building. My dad gave me a big, manly-man hug, and the three of us walked to the car together.
"Hey pard’ner," he said to me, looking at his sister. "How’d it go?"
"Good." I said.
Rachel smiled and ruffled my hair. "Really good. Dev was great."
"Really? No problems?"
She shook her head. "Nope. We had a great time. He even let me keep some of his comics."
"You’re kidding." He looked down at me. "How’d she bribe you for those? Ice cream at bedtime?"
"Daaad!" I laughed at him. "You can’t eat ice cream before bed. Sheesh."
"I asked him if he’d like to spend the next couple weekends with me. I thought maybe...maybe you and Carol might need some quiet time for a while, and Dev and I had so much fun..." She shrugged. "It seemed like a good idea to both of us if he kept some stuff here with me for when he comes back."
My dad stared at his sister like she’d grown another head.
"You’re serious, aren’t you?" She nodded, smiling, and he looked back down at me. "And that sounds good to you, too, Dev?"
For just a second, I thought about my aunt when I woke up that morning, curled up naked with me in her bed. "You bet, dad!"
"Well. Then if you both want to hang out on the weekends, it’s okay with me. Let’s go ask your mom, first. She’s in the car with a little surprise for you."
And we all went to share my first look at my baby sister.
ÂÂ
ÂÂ
Not too long after that, my aunt met her soon-to-be first husband, an alchoholic cop named Tim. That pretty much ended our sleepovers, but they were fun while they lasted. My time as a ladies man came to a screeching halt for a couple years as well. Unless you count holidays.
But I’ll get back to that in a minute.
I managed to stumble onto my next erotic experience when I was seven or eight, on a hot summer day. The neighborhood kids had been playing war games - basically a modified version of capture the flag - for a long time, and we had a complex set of rules. We chose teams, divvied up our equipment, picked our base camps and then spread out through the neighborhood. Each team left a couple guys to guard their home base.
The guards had to watch after any kids from the opposing team that were ‘captured’, and protect all the commandeered guns and other stuff that was taken from the prisoners. In battle, to shoot somebody you had to yell their name first and then shoot ‘em three times for a capture, or five times for a kill - before they did the same to you . Then you could scavenge all their stuff. To win, a team had to either capture all the guys on the other team or kill ‘em. You could raid their home base to liberate prisoners and gear, and anybody you killed, either in battle or on raids, automatically became part of your team, making it even tougher to win the game.
We packed sandwiches for lunch, and each of us had a canteen for water that we could refill from a sprinkler hose. Once we were set, we’d play until it either got too dark to see or our parents started yelling for us to come in for dinner.
It was summer, so we had two pretty good teams, with about twenty kids running around packing toy guns and sweating in old WWII army fatigues. Even my friend John and his little brother Steve were playing, which was rare because their mom didn’t approve of us playing war. John said that was because she was from Germany and guns scared her. So they were picked last, because they didn’t have any stuff of their own to play with; and because most of us couldn’t stand Steve. He was too whiny.
In a rare case of consideration, the two team captains - a couple of older kids named Dean and Dave - set the game boundaries a good block away from Johns house to keep him from getting in trouble.
Then they flipped a coin and Dean picked me first, probably because I had a bunch of cool old army gear my grandpa had given me: helmets, canteens, ammo belts, backpacks and a lot of other stuff. Which was great because it gave me some serious bragging rights, considering I was a year younger than he was. Then the captains took turns making their picks. John ended up on my team, and we high-fived when he walked over to our little group. His little cry-baby brother was picked last, by Dave. That was cool, too. The captains decided to start the game in fifteen minutes, so we could head to our bases and sort out our gear and assign positions.
Our base was Dean’s backyard, because it was surrounded by a thick hedge with spots that you could crawl through if you needed a quick escape from an attack, and it had a picnic table and an old garage that we could use as a stockade for any prisoners. The other group trudged up the hill to Dave’s house. When we got to Dean’s, I made sure John was equipped with some good stuff, and then I pulled out a surprise from my faded green canvas backpack.
There was suddenly a lot of excitement when the guys saw what I had. A whole new era of warplay had begun. We were about to go high-tech.
"Hey, Dean!" I had to yell over the noise the guys were making.
"What?"
"Check it out."
For my birthday present, my dad bought me a couple sets of cheap walkie-talkies. They were big, black plastic things with long, telescoping antennas. Each unit had big orange button to push when you wanted to talk, and another plastic switch for volume and to turn the units on and off. I had six of ‘em, and I figured they’d give us an edge over the other team.
Suddenly, I was the man .
"Oh, cool !"
"Dude!"
"Wow! Can I have one?"
"Hey, hey! Let’s see if they work." Dean grabbed the unit I offered him and turned it on. The speaker crackled for a second, and then Dean raised it up to his ear. "Ten-four, good buddy! You copy?"
His voice came in loud and clear on my receiver. He grinned, smacked me in the shoulder and clipped the walkie-talkie to his belt.
"That’s awesome. What kinda range to they have?"
I shrugged. "I dunno. But my dad and I played around with ‘em on my birthday. He walked down to the park, and I could still hear him from our backyard. So at least a few blocks."
He smacked my shoulder again and gave me a battlefield promotion. "Cool. So here’s what we’re gonna do. Why don’t you be our reconnaisance man?"
"Huh? What’s that?"
"You take your walkie-talkie and hide out by Dave’s house, someplace nobody can find you, so you can see his whole yard. The rest of us’ll split up into little teams, and each team’ll have another walkie-talkie. If anybody gets captured, you call the rest of us and we’ll all come in for a prison break. Everybody cool?"
There was a chorus of tough-kid ‘yeah’s’. Then we all hefted our gear and slung plastic rifles and machine guns over our shoulders.
"Let’s move out!"
ÂÂ
ÂÂ
The game boundaries were split over four blocks: the street by my house was the west edge and from there the line crossed all the way over to the neighborhood park on the east. The end of Dean’s block marked the farthest south we could go, and then we could head north past Dave’s house, up into a hill overgrown with shrubs and trees that hid a series of trails running through a group of backyards, all the way down to and through the park. Most of the folks around ignored us, and we utilized the whole space. Except for old Mrs. Kearn’s house, unless we absolutely had to. She lived just behind Dean, and she’d smack you with a broom if she caught you on her property.
I decided to cheat a little, running up my street to the top of the hill from my house. At the top I turned west and ran along the sidewalk (which was technically out of bounds) until I could cut through the big back yard at the top of Dave’s hill. This was risky because if I was seen running out of bounds I’d get thrown out of the game - walkie-talkies or no walkie-talkies. I knew most of the guys cheated like that; you just couldn’t get caught. Another small point of concern: the yard I was running through had a big dog house, which occasionaly contained a mean, Army-guy hating bulldog.
I guess his owner was more of a Navy man.
Luckily enough, no dog today. I managed to slip through the yard without attracting any undue attention, then hopped over a little white picket fence and slid a few feet down a small hill into the trees below. I brushed myself off and made my way through the tangle of brush and blackberry bushes until I came to the edge of the woods where the trees thinned out. I knelt down behind a big old walnut tree and pulled out a pair of plastic binoculars. The street that ran in front of Dave’s house zig-zagged up the hill, right past my position. Sometimes late at night during the summer, drunk teenagers would drag race up the hill, but all was quiet now. The only car I could see was parked in the driveway across the street. From where I was hiding, I could just make out Dave’s driveway and front door with my binoculars.
Not good enough , I thought to myself. I have to get closer.
I was sipping metallic tasting, lukewarm water from my canteen and debating on my best course of action when my walkie-talkie crackled to life. I jumped, spilling water and soaking one leg of my jeans from my knee down. I twisted the top back on the canteen when Deans voice came over the speaker.
Squark went the walkie-talkie. "Hey Dev! Come in! Report your status!"
"I’m in the woods at the top of the hill. Over."
Squark . "See anything? Over?"
"Nah." I was searching the houses for a way to sneak closer, but all the front yards were too open. I needed to try something else. "I’ll call you back in a few minutes. Okay?"
Squark . "Ten-four."
I listened as everybody reported in. We were pretty spread out over four square blocks, with no enemy contact so far. Dave’s little brother, Jimmy, had been left behind to guard our camp. Everything was quiet there, too, and I didn’t have anybody in my line of sight.
It was time to make my move. I needed to get across the street to the cover of the house on the corner. I made sure I had all my gear, then I clipped the walkie-talkie back onto my backpack. I picked up my machine gun and ran like hell over to the other curb, with all my gear clanking around in my pack. I made it across the street, then dove over the sidewalk onto the lawn, rolling as best as I could with my backpack, canteen, pistol, walkie-talkie, and everything else I was carrying bumping around.
When I reached the line of bushes that ran from the sidewalk to the porch of the house, I crawled on my belly using the bushes as cover, until I’d inched my way around to the backyard. Once there, I unlatched a little wooden gate and slipped into enemy territory.
Keeping in the shadows of rose bushes and birdbaths, I quickly made my way down the entire hill. None of the houses I passed made good surveillance points. The backyards were great, with lots of places to hide out, but the houses blocked any view. And, like Dave’s house across the street, all the front yards were way too open with no cover.
My grandma’s friend Peggy lived with her husband Neil right across the street from my grandparents. Their house was the first one at the bottom of the hill; a big, creepy old three story house set on a huge yard with plenty of trees and bushes. The front of their house faced south. I was coming downhill from the north, so I reached their garage first. The garage was almost perfect for my needs: it faced the right direction and had good sight lines. I thought I could probably climb it and hunker down on the roof, but anyone standing across the street could see me if they bothered to look over this way. And besides, it looked hot. With the morning sun moving overhead, there wasn’t much shade up there.
I was already sweating like a pig, and it wasn’t even lunchtime, so I quickly discarded that plan and bolted across the driveway to Peggy’s nice, private yard. I was pretty bummed out, thinking that I’d failed in my first big solo mission. I was going to grab my walkie-talkie and break the bad news to Dean when I saw the perfect spot for me to set up shop for the afternoon.
A sturdy rose trellis ran from the ground up the side of the house, all the way to the roof. There were two sliding glass doors leading out to a deck that wrapped around the third floor, and the house and deck were well shaded by three tall pine trees.
I wiped a little bit of the grime off the garage window with my sleeve and peeked through. I didn’t see Peggy’s old yellow Chevy parked inside, so I shouldered my weapon and climbed the trellis. Somehow I managed to avoid snagging myself on the rosebushes and I flopped over the lip of the deck with a grunt. I picked myself up and blew past the sliding doors, ducking under a pair of open bedroom windows. I paused to catch my breath, then peered carefully over the railing at the street below.
"Yes!" I congratulated myself, pumping my fist in the air.
From my position I could see most of the street, both up and down the hill. I could move further around the corner and view anyone approaching from the park or from my house, and I had a great view of Dave’s entire house, front and back. I broke out my binoculars again and watched Dave’s older brother Rick, seated at a card table with Steve, eating sandwiches in the back yard. The sound of kids yelling somewhere out on the battlefield floated by with the breeze.
I pulled my walkie-talkie out and reported in. "Dean! Can you hear me?"
Squawk ! "Dev? That you? Over."
"Yeah. Over."
Squawk ! "Where are you?"
"Watching the camp. I found a really good hiding place. Nobody’ll ever see me. Over."
Squawk ! "Cool. Anything goin’ on? Over."
"Nope. Their guards are eating lunch. Rick’s got a Kool-Aid mustache. That’s it. Over."
Squawk ! "Okay. Stay put. Call in if anything happens. Okay?"
"Okay."
Squawk ! "Over and out."
I put my wakie-talkie away and settled in for the duration, thinking that it was about time for my own lunch. And that’s when Peggy’s Chevy came roaring around the curve at the top of the hill.
The door on the passenger side of the car popped open and I could see her husband holding onto the ‘oh shit’ handle for dear life. The car squealed to a stop and turned into the driveway, spraying loose gravel out from under the tires. I heard the garage door opening and Peggy’s voice rose up over all that, shouting for Neil to hang on. I listened to the garage door bump closed, and a minute later Peggy and her husband stepped out of the garage through a side door.
Neil was wearing bright orange plaid slacks and a yellow polo shirt. His thin, puffy fringe of hair was white as snow and stuck up all over his freckled head. As they walked, he smoothed his hair and adjusted his hearing aid as Peggy crabbed at him. Peggy was dressed in a dressy blue jacket, with a lacy white blouse tucked into a light blue skirt. She had a thick rope of pearls wrapped around her neck and pearl earrings in her ears, and wore her iron grey hair wrapped up in a bun, pinned high at the back of her head with a pearl-white comb. She looked hot and sweaty in her suit, and she was carrying a small, brown paper bag clenched tightly in her hand.
Neil must’ve turned his hearing aid off, because she kept up a running conversation as they walked into the house, and he completely ignored her.
They banged around inside for a few minutes, somewhere downstairs, then I heard footsteps coming my way. I was crouched down underneath a window and I peeked as Peggy came through the bedroom door. Now she had a large mug in her hand instead of the bag. She took a sip from the mug, then shouted down the stairs.
"Neil! I’m going to take a quick nap, so don’t you go making any noise!"
I heard a non-commital mumble that sounded like it came from somewhere far away. Peggy slammed the door shut and flipped the lock. Then she turned, sipping her drink, and pulled the sliding doors open. I had a terrifying vision of her stepping out onto the deck and finding me there, so I ducked and hid around the corner, trying to stay out of sight. I was sure she could hear my heart pounding in my chest; so I covered my ears with my hands and waited to be discovered.
Time slowed to a creepy-crawl, but nothing happened; no yelling or screaming, nobody grabbed me; nothing.
It took a minute, but I figured out that she probably just opened the doors to let the air circulate in her room and I might actually be safe. So I carefully crawled back to my window. Peggy set the cup down on a nightstand, took off her jacket, and folded it neatly over a chair. She pulled the comb out of the bun and ran her hands through her hair, letting it fall in waves past her shoulders. She turned on a floor fan that whirred and twisted, blowing her hair around her face, then she used the comb to brush her hair until it shone, watching herself work in a large round mirror that was mounted on the wall, just above an ornate old dresser.
In all the years I’ve lived in the neighborhood, I’d never seen Peggy with her hair down before. It was so long. I was amazed enough that I barely noticed her take off the necklace and her earrings. She gently put those in a carved wooden box on the dresser top, and then she was kicking off her pumps. She paused for just a second and stared into the mirror, looking slightly surprised. My heart skipped a beat as I realized she was looking over in my direction. I hit the deck again and held my breath, then counted slowly to ten. When nothing happened, I raised myself back to the window in time to see Peggy unzip her skirt and let it drop to the floor. I licked my dry lips and watched, stunned speechless as she unbuttoned her blouse.
Suddenly, I was a lot warmer than I had been a just minute ago. I swallowed around a hard knot in my throat and wiped sweat out of my eyes.
Fear and fascination battled each other, and my penis - the good soldier that it was - snapped to attention, making me tremble. I knew I shouldn’t be watching, but I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. I drank in every little detail of Peggy’s body as she folded the blouse in half and set it with her jacket. She was getting old and plump around the edges, but right now that was fine with me. Thanks to the mirror, I had a great view of her front as well as her back side. I was busy staring at her heavy breasts, trapped in her bra - a great big, plain white satin thing - when she bent over and wiggled out of her slip. Her hips were wide and round, and underneath her slip she was wearing large white panties over a girdle-like garter belt.
Peggy pulled down her panties, then she unclipped and rolled down her white stockings and followed those with the girdle. All of it went on top of the pile of clothes on the chair, and then she reached behind her back and unclasped her bra. She tossed that with the rest of her things and paused to massage her breasts. Completely naked now, Peggy sighed and turned towards the bed.
My eyes bugged out when I caught a glimpse of the soft, white downy puff of hair between her legs. And what happened next made all my fears of being discovered completely vanish.
Peggy crawled onto the bed with her feet facing straight towards me. She rolled onto her back and spread her legs, bending them at the knees so her feet were braced on the brass footboard. She closed her eyes and her left hand trailed down her belly until she was tickling her pubic hair, and then her fingers kind of walked down between her legs. She began playing with her breasts with her right hand, toying with her nipples. Her left hand disappeared down her crotch. I had to stand up to get a better view.
And what a view. Peggy was poking her fingers into a pink hole in her crotch and her hips were grinding into the bed sheets. I was mesmerized by her fingers, slipping in and out of that pink place. It looked wet. Suddenly, visions of my aunt flooded into my head, of us lying together in her bed, her hands buried in her panties, and I realized that I was finally seeing Peggy do to herself now what my aunt had been doing then, in the dark.
Unconsciously, I started rubbing my crotch as I watched Peggy masturbate. She eased a few of her fingers all the way inside herself and buried her head back in her pillows. Through the open window I heard her start moaning loudly and saw her toes clenching against the brass rail of her bed. She was shoving her fingers into her little pink hole over and over, as fast as she could.
Vaguely, as if in a dream, I heard myself moan with her. I was so dizzy, to keep from tipping over I had to steady myself by bracing a hand on the wall.
I needed some relief, consequences be damned. Almost without thinking, I unbuckled my utility belt and unbuttoned my jeans, which promply fell down around my ankles. I pulled my hard little dick out of my underwear and started jacking off, trying to imagine myself in Peggy’s bedroom, lying with her, touching her.
Peggy’s body jerked up and down a few times as I watched, and she slowed to a stop, panting. Things were just getting good on my end too. I was on the verge of a whole new revelation happening down in my underpants, and that’s when my walkie-talkie squawked back to life.
My platoon was in a firefight. Dean was calling in a panic, and after the loud crackle of static he started yelling through the speaker.
Squawk! "Dev! Dev! Come in! They raided our camp and got everything ! I need..."
Oh shit! I heard myself blurt out a curse, and then I was tripping over my pants trying to get to the walkie-talkie and shut it off. I fell onto the deck, crawled to my pack, rolled onto my butt and sat up with the walkie-talkie in my hand. I hit the talk button, hoping against hope that Peggy hadn’t heard.
"Dean! Don’t...I’m not..." It was a valiant effort, but I was way too late.
"What...Devin?" said a voice.
I knew it didn’t come from my walkie-talkie, and I kicked myself mentally, knowing that if I didn’t want to be discovered, I should’ve turned the thing off right when Peggy and Neil pulled into the driveway.
Too late. Now, the jig was up.
I looked up to find Peggy glaring down at me, fumbling with a silky looking white robe she’d pulled over her naked body. The robe didn’t help hide anything, if that’s why she put it on; it was so sheer I could see every thick curve, her big, hard nipples, even the color of her skin through the thin material.
I felt awful. I’d failed my mission. I hit the talk button one last time. "Dean. I’m caught."
" Devin !" Peggy shouted. "What are you...doing...here...?"
Peggy’s voice trailed off and her cheeks quickly turned a rosy shade of red as she took me in. I had the walkie-talkie pressed against my ear, my jeans were tangled around my tennis shoes and my boner was fading fast, but it was still pointing right at her.
"Oh-my-God," she whispered, and grabbed me by the ear.
"Oww!"
She twisted hard and yanked me to my feet, and twisted again. "Just what do you think you’re doing here, young man?"
The words came out of me in a rush.
"My friends and I were playing army, Mrs. Jones, and I thought this would be a good place to hide while they..."
She gasped and shook me. "More? Where! Where did they hide?"
"N...no...Mrs Jones! It was just me! Everybody else is still playing...see, I was pretending to be a spy, and I needed someplace to hide so I could see over there and give my team the scoop on all I could see about what the other guys were doing, and..."
Peggy seemed to take that entirely the wrong way. "You were spying on me! Oh, what would Mary say? Her grandson a peeping tom! What did you see?"
"Nothing! I mean..."
She backed me up into the deck rail and shook me again, harder, making me drop my walkie-talkie. It hit the rail and bounced over the edge. I never heard it hit the ground.
"Don’t you lie to me Devin Smith! Look at you, with your privates hanging out! I know exactly what you were doing!" She waggled a finger at me as she scolded me. "Well, we’re going to have to call your grandmother about this!"
Oh no , I thought. Not that. I’ll get a spanking for sure . "No, please Mrs Jones, don’t call my grandma, please. I didn’t mean to look, really, I just..."
"Then we’ll just go downstairs and call the police! You might think you just got yourself a nice peepshow, but you just wait, you little..."
She dragged me into her bedroom by my ear, pulling me towards her door. I pictured her husband, seeing us coming downstairs like this, and what he might do. I got so sick so fast I almost barfed, and started pleading with her for my life.
"No! I mean, I know I shouldn’t of been looking, Mrs. Jones. But you...you’re just so pretty, and you were having such a good ti..."
That seemed to kick some of the wind out of her sails. She stopped just short of the door and turned to me in a huff.
"What?" she asked.
"Huh?"
"What did you just say?"
What did I just say? "Uh, you were having a..."
She shook her head. "No, no. Before that. You said I was pretty ?"
I gulped and nodded. Shock from the realization of what I’d done was taking over, and I could feel tears welling up in my eyes, blurring my vision. My bottom lip started to tremble and I stuttered a little bit when I answered.
"Y-yeah. I think you’re really, really pretty, Mrs. Jones. Really."
Peggy didn’t speak or move a muscle. She just stood there, watching me carefully, the ends of her robe fluttering in the breeze from the fan. I caught another, tantalizing glimpse of her pubic hair. The room smelled funny, kind of wet and fishy. I remembered my aunt Rachel’s bedroom once smelling the same way.
My mouth went dry, so I licked my lips and tried again. "I’ve always thought so, and...and the more I w-watched, I...I..." I shrugged helplessly, and the tears started to flow.
"You what ?"
"I just liked watching," I said in a small voice. "I think you’re really pretty, and I wanted to watch. That’s all."
I hung my head and stood there quietly, my face burning with shame.
"Well," she said. "Well. I never."
Peggy released my ear and took my wrist, guiding me towards her bed. She sat down, making the bedsprings squeak, and pulled me in front of her. She cupped my chin in her hand and forced me to look her in the eye, then watched me for a long time. Eventually she nodded quickly, once, like she’d made a decision.
"All right. I believe you. How long were you out there? You tell me the truth now."
Scared as I was, I was having a difficult time concentrating. Her robe had flopped open down to her waist, and now I was just inches away from her. The fishy smell was a lot stronger now that we were by the bed, and I thought I could smell it on her hand, too. I could feel my little penis getting happy again. I got mad at it suddenly, thinking that this mess was all its fault. I fought a losing battle with it, until the dang thing was sticking straight out of my underpants.
"A long time, I guess. I...was already there when you guys got home." I tried to keep my eyes locked on hers so she wouldn’t notice the thing rearing its ugly head below us.
"I see." No luck. She saw it. "My," she said. "You look like you’re having some trouble with that."
I nodded into her hand. "Yes’m. It’s just been doin’ that all afternoon."
"Hm." She looked down at me and I swear that she smiled. Then she shook her head. "Devin, do you think a good little boy would do what you did today?"
"Um. N-no ma’am."
"So you agree you were a naughty boy."
I thought about it for a minute. I wished she’d let me go, because my pee-pee seemed to like her touching my face.
"Yeah, I guess so."
"And you don’t want me to call your grandparents."
"No ma’am."
"Or the police."
"Oh, please, don’t Mrs. Jones! I didn’t..."
She let my chin go and took my wrists again, making our little friend bounce around down there. This time I was sure she smiled.
"Well. So what do we do?"
"Uh...let me go? I promise I’ll never do it again. Really."
"I’d like to believe that Devin, but I just can’t. I honestly think you need to be punished for being a very bad little boy." Her grip on my wrists tightened. I remember thinking that she was pretty strong for an old lady. "So I’m going to give you a spanking. And afterwards, I hope you won’t ever think about doing something like this ever again."
And with that, she pulled me down across her knee. I was so shocked I didn’t even fight. My pee-pee slipped along the smooth material of her robe, and a shiver of pleasure raced through my body.
"I’ll try not to make this hurt too much," she said.
Then she pinned my wrists together with right hand, pushing them deep into her mattress. She yanked my underpants down enough to expose my bottom, and gave me a good, hard smack that brought tears to my eyes and made me wriggle against her thighs. She smacked me again and again, and I kicked and squirmed as she hit me, until my bottom actually went numb.
It hurt at first, but after a while the pain stopped and I started to kind of enjoy the feeling of my naked flesh rubbing against the cool silk of her robe and her warm skin. Peggy spanked me until my bottom was fiery red and swollen, and at some point I heard myself cry out and go limp in her lap. She stopped then and let me catch my breath. She let go of my wrists and I almost fell to the floor in a heap.
"That should do it. All finished." She stood up and patted her bed. "Devin, I want you to lie down on your stomach. I know that’s going to hurt, so I want you to let me put something on your bottom for you. I promise it will make it feel better."
I sniffled and let her help me crawl onto her bed. She left the bedside and opened a door that led to a large bathroom, and I heard her rummage around. When she returned, she sat next to me on the side of the mattress, causing me to slide towards the edge, right into her. I let her pull my underpants down around my knees. I was hurt and embarrassed beyond caring, and kept my face buried in her pillows until I felt her soft hands rubbing something cool and slick over my bottom.
"There. Does that feel better?" she asked.
I nodded and sniffled into her pillow.
"I want you to roll over now, Devin, and look at me."
I shook my head, no .
"Devin, roll over right now, or I’ll spank you again."
I rolled. I glared at her, my face beet red and swollen with tears, willing her to drop dead. She rested her sticky hand on my belly, and try as I might to stop it, my little man perked right back up, poking inches from her hand. She looked down at it and grinned, then back at me.
"Insistent, isn’t it?" She grinned. "Devin, I want you to know exactly what you saw today. I want to understand why I was so angry with you. Do you?"
I managed a nod. That seemed to be all she needed.
"Good," she said. She just smiled at me for a minute, then looked back at my penis, bobbing around next to her hand. "Well. Did you get to...finish?"
Huh? I wondered. Finish what? "I...don’t know. For sure, I mean."
"Oh," she said and then smiled. "Would you like some help?"
"Help...?"
Still smiling, she moved her hand and stroked me. It was like fire exploded through my whole body. I suddenly felt like I was going to pop down there. Then she slid onto the bed, lying next to me, and gripped me.
"Do you like that?"
I couldn’t speak, so I just nodded. She’d just punished me for watching and doing this, and now she wanted to help me and do it herself? I didn’t understand, but I was feeling so good suddenly - bruised butt or no bruised butt - I just knew that I didn’t want her to stop touching me. She smiled and moved her hand slowly up and down. The slick goop on her hand made a wet, slurping sound as she stroked me, and I lay there, very still, as if the smallest movement would cause her to stop.
"Mmn. You do like that. Here," she said, and shifted until she was kneeling above me, never taking her hand off me. "Let’s try something, okay?."
I nodded again, and Peggy lifted her leg over my body and settled on top of me. Something warm and soft and wet pressed down onto me and she used her hands to guide me where she wanted me to go. An instant later that warmth engulfed me completely, sending a jolt of pleasure through me. Peggy sighed quietly and her eyes flickered closed for a moment, then she braced her hands on the bed at either side of my face. Her robe fell gently around us and her hair tickled my face, making me giggle.
She laughed with me and swept her hair back over hers shoulder. "Did that tickle?"
"Uh-huh. A little."
"Do you want to touch me?"
"Um. Yeah...I mean, can I?"
That made her smile again, and she leaned back, took my hands in hers and slowly ran them over her body. She let me cup her breasts and showed me how to gently tweak her nipples.
"You like my breasts, don’t you Devin?"
I grinned. "Uh-huh. I really do."
"Here," she said. "Kiss them for me."
That little thrill ran through me again as she bent over me. She made me cup her breasts with my hands and squeeze them around my face, and she started to squirm her bottom around on me when one of her hard nipples popped into my mouth.
"This is how mommies and daddies make children, did you know that?"
I nodded. Jimmie Davis told all of us - the whole gang - about sex a whole year ago, and I figured that’s what we were doing. His dad had told him all about it after Jimmie found a bunch of Playboy magazines hidden in a box in their basement.
I think he got a couple things wrong, though. I’d have to remember to fill him in.
And then I had an awful thought. I let Peggy’s breasts go, and asked: "Wh-what about M-Mr. Jones? Won’t he be angry i-if he...?"
"Don’t worry, Sweetie. He won’t notice. If I know Neil, he’s probably drunk, asleep in the basement. And he’d never hear anything, or come up here, anyway."
"You’re sure it’s okay?"
Peggy shushed me with her finger to my lips.
"Shhh. Quiet now," she said, and just moved on top me, slowly, kissing me once in a while or playing with my hair and letting me touch her wherever I wanted, until I heard her cry out softly. Warm water trickled down the insides of my legs and over my hips, and Peggy shuddered and collapsed on top of me.
I remember wishing that I was bigger down there, because for some reason I knew that I could feel even better with more of me inside of her. I wrapped my arms around her back, wanting to pull her even closer, and I held her like that for a little while. We were both breathing hard and thought I heard her crying, so I asked if I’d hurt her.
"No Sweetheart, you didn’t. You just made me feel so happy. Sometimes...sometimes a person just needs to cry, even when they’re happy."
"Oh," I said.
"Did you have a nice time, too?"
"Yeah." I said, feeling a little disappointed if we were finished.
"Would you like to make me feel very happy, Devin?"
I nodded my head vigorously. Maybe we weren’t done yet, after all. "Yeah! Sure! How?"
Peggy rolled over, onto her back, and spread her legs. "Would you kiss me down there?"
Huh. I wasn’t sure about that. Even though that place felt really good, it was where all the yucky fishy smell was coming from.
"Really? You’re sure?"
"I’m sure. If you lay on top of me, I can kiss you too. Here," she said, and I eased myself on top of her. "Just like that. Go ahead and play with me, do whatever you want. Just be gentle."
"Okay..." I wrinkled my nose at the smell, but kissed her soft hair and she wiggled happily.
Peggy spread her legs wider, showing me that strange, pink spot. I went adventuring and scootched further down on her belly, using my fingers to poke and pry between her legs. I was suprised when one of my questing fingers slipped right inside her, and grinned like an explorer who’d just struck gold.
"Oh, Devin, do that...gently, sweetheart...I like that..."
Peggy had a big bottom and a big, soft belly. I felt like I was lying on a big pillow. To keep my balance and not roll off, I had to drop my legs and lay on her. I jumped when she grabbed my penis.
"Don’t be s-s-scared, D-Devin. I’m just going to s-s-suck you, l-like a l-l-lollipop. Okay?"
I was too busy to answer, but when she slurped me into her mouth, just like my aunt Rachel had. I almost fell off the bed. She kept me from falling by grabbing my tender bottom and I jerked, shoving myself further inside her mouth. She made a yummy sound and pulled me down hard, and I felt something tickling my pooper.
"Oww..." I gritted my teeth until the ache in my bottom died down, and went back to work on my end. The tickle in my bottom changed after a while, and I felt something poking me down there. And then all of a sudden I was feeling really dizzy, and a feeling I’d never had shot through me. My toes curled and I bunched the bedsheets in my fists while she sucked me and poked her fingers in my bottom, and I could barely move. All I seemed to be able to do was jerk around uncontrollably, and I heard my belly whacking her face.
I’m not sure how long my first orgasm took to stop, but I remember collapsing on top of Peggy, feeling completely exhausted, and I remember her hands petting my bottom. And then I must’ve fallen asleep, because the next thing I knew she was gently shaking me awake. We were cuddled together under a light sheet, and I could see the clock on her nightstand.
"Time to wake up Devin. It’s getting late. You should probably go home now, Sweetie, so your folks don’t get worried."
"Oh wow." I groaned and sat up in the bed. "What happened?"
She grinned and stood up, then helped me get dressed.
"Did you have fun?" she asked.
"You bet, Mrs. Jones. A lot."
"Good." When I was dressed, Peggy kissed me on the lips and pulled me into a tight hug. I enjoyed the feel of her soft skin for a minute, and then she wiped my lips with her thumbs and held me out at arms length. "Devin, you know this is something we can’t tell anyone about, don’t you?"
I nodded. Peggy looked me hard in the eyes, and then she smiled again. "I think, if any of your friends ask about what happened, you should tell them that I made you clean my basement today. Does that sound mean enough?"
"Okay." I agreed. "They’d believe that."
"Can you climb back down the way you came?"
"I think so." I picked up my stuff, and then Peggy walked me back outside. The air had cooled down a lot from that afternoon.
"Devin." I turned to face her, and her smile vanished. "Don’t come back here again. If you do, I will call the police. Do you understand?"
I nodded solemnly. "I understand, Mrs. Jones."
Peggy smiled again and gave me a last, quick peck on my forehead. Then she stepped back, pulled her robe tight around her body and she watched as I climbed down the trellis as fast as my sore ass would let me.
ÂÂ
When I hit the ground, I found what was left of my walkie-talkie.
It had hit the edge of the patio and bounced off onto the sidewalk, finally coming to rest in a heap of cracked plastic and transistors. The battery had rolled off the curb and was lying in a bunch of garbage in the street. It looked like it had been run over a few times while I was inside with Peggy.
I sighed and tried to salvage what I could. I didn’t see any of my friends over at Dave’s, so I mourned my loss as I made my way down the block to Dean’s house. Everybody was in the backyard when I got there, busy swapping war stories and sorting out the days plunder.
John saw me first and yelled as I dragged my backpack up the driveway.
"Dev! What happened to you?"
I almost spilled it. Almost. But then I remembered my promise.
"Mrs. Jones caught me on her deck." I held up my broken walkie-talkie. "I got in a little trouble."
Everybody groaned. "What’d she do? She call your grandma?"
"Naw. I had to clean her basement. It was nasty."
"Wow. Serious? Was she creepy?"
I thought about what to say, then shrugged. "Naw. Not really. She...she was kinda nice about it, actually. She, uh, gave me some dessert when I finished."
That impressed everybody. Dean made a comment about my fortitude in the face of capture, and then the guys mostly lost interest after that. A few minutes later we started hearing our folks shouting "Dinnertime!", and we split up for the day so we could fight again tomorrow.
ÂÂ
ÂÂ
ÂÂ
The next day found me back in my gear, on the run.
Dave and a couple other guys on his team had caught me alone down by the park. I was fast enough to get into the woods, but now they were all chasing me through the trails. I couldn’t see them through the trees so I didn’t know how far behind me they were, but I could hear ‘em. That was enough for me; I just kept running and didn’t bother to look back.
My helmet almost went flying when I tore out of the woods, but I smashed it back onto my head, hard. Somehow, I made it across the street and managed to duck behind the front of a big, white van parked at the curb, just as Dave, Ricky and Jimmie bolted from the trees. I was still out in the open; anybody coming up the hill could’ve seen me and tipped the guys off. I had to do something, quick, and just running down the hill wouldn’t work. They’d pick me off after a few steps.
"Where’d he go?"
That was Dave’s older brother, Ricky.
"I dunno, that way, maybe?"
Jimmy.
"Up the hill?
Ricky again. I looked around, hoping someone from my team was close by; maybe they’d jump out of a bush so we could pin the other guys in a crossfire. Jimmy had a cool new machine gun that would suit me just fine, since someone had already got the jump on me once that morning and snagged mine in the looting. But no one sprang out to help; I was on my own.
Then I had a thought. I didn’t have my pack today, ‘cause my bottom still hurt and I didn’t want all the extra weight. I dropped to the ground and wriggled under the van, hoping they’d head up the hill, knowing that this just wasn’t enough cover for them not to find me if they came this way.
"Okay. You guys go look that way; I’ll follow back down the road and we’ll meet around the corner at Colin’s house." That was Dave.
From my point of view, I watched two pairs of dirty tennis shoes pound up the hill, and another pair turn and slowly walk down the street towards my hiding place. Dave was coming my way. Every few feet he’d pause, then move again. I had my pistol in my hands and pointing at his shins when he stopped right at the back of the van.
I almost giggled. Dave was humming the ‘Batman’ theme under his breath. I heard him dig around in his pocket, then some paper rustled and a crumpled bubblegum wrapper dropped at his feet. He just stood there, singing to himself for a minute, chewing his gum without a care in the world.
"Hey Dave," I said.
"Huh?"
"Down here."
He bent over and peeked under the van.
"Gotcha," I said, and shot him three times in the face. " Bang , bang , bang ! Team change!"
"Crud," he said. "I knew you were there all the time."
"Sure you did." I laughed, and crawled out from under the van. I told him to go wait for Dean at our base. "Go ahead and keep your stuff."
"Really? You’re sure?"
"Yeah."
"Okay. Thanks!"
"Hey, Dave?" I asked.
"Huh?"
"Do you have any grenades left?"
Grenades were good for getting a bunch of guys to change teams. They’d work a heck of a lot better than my pistol, or even Dave’s rifle. You didn’t have to shoot a bunch of times or anything; you could just lob ‘em into a yard and yell ‘BOOM!’, and everybody there was suddenly on your team.
"What are you gonna do?"
I grinned. "I’m gonna go hide over at Colin’s and wait for your brothers."
"Aww, crud," he said again.
He handed me the grenades, and then he ran down to Dean’s. Right when he left, I heard a car tear around the corner, tires squealing, and I backed out of the street just in time to see Peggy’s Chevy fly by me, race down the street, and pull into her driveway.
I really meant to keep my promise to her and stay away from her house. I did. But I knew I could save a few minutes on my way to Colin’s by cutting through her backyard. I had to make a battlefield decision.
Reluctantly, and with the Batman theme stuck in my head, I holstered my pistol and checked to make sure no one was watching, then climbed through the closest hedge and made my way down to Peggy’s. I followed the same route I had the day before and reached her garage a minute or two later. I saw her car through the smudged window, parked and empty, the engine still ticking as it cooled down. Inside the house, I could hear her shouting at Neil.
I guess I was feeling a little tired, so I plopped down on a garden bench and took a load off. A few minutes later, the sliding doors slid open and Peggy stepped out onto the deck.
I didn’t think she could see me from where she was standing. But I couldn’t see her very well either, so I jumped off the bench and hid behind the corner of the garage. Peggy still had her hair pinned up in her usual bun, but she’d already taken off her clothes and slipped into her robe. I could see the dark circles of her nipples through the material, and a small shiver ran through me. As I watched, she walked around the side of the house, and then back. She leaned over the edge of the deck and peered around at the yard. I saw her sigh, and she looked kind of sad, almost disappointed. Then she turned and went back inside.
The doors closed, and I stood there, not sure what to do.
I thought about climbing up, but the thought of her calling the police stopped me before I took a step. Instead, I climbed over her fence and snuck into the next backyard, on my way to Colin’s to ambush Ricky and Jimmie.
I went back every day that week. And every day at almost exactly the same time, Peggy’s car would zip down the hill. She’d park the car, and she and Neil would argue until they got inside. I’d stand at the back of the garage and wait until she came outside, just so I could see her.
And that’s where I was, waiting for her, when John snuck up on me.
"Dev? What’s goin’ on? You said you weren’t supposed to be here...mmbph!"
"Shhh!" I hissed, and clamped a hand over his mouth. "Shut up!"
I was getting to be a pretty big kid, but John had a good four or five inches on me and outweighed me by maybe twenty pounds. He smacked my hand away and glared at me. He was on my team again, which explained why he didn’t try to shoot me, but not how he found me. He tried asking again.
"What’re you doing here...?"
"John, be quiet !"
I grabbed him and pulled him back. John’s eyes bugged out and his jaw dropped down to the ground, because above us, Peggy was peering over the railing.
"Oh, wow ..." John whispered in my ear. "She’s...she’s..."
Completely, totally, butt-naked. Today, Peggy wasn’t wearing any clothes.
I whacked John on the shoulder and told him to shut up again. He shut his mouth so fast his teeth clacked together. We watched quietly until Peggy went back inside and then he grabbed me again, his eyes wide with excitement. His questions came hard and fast.
"Dev! Did you see that? I can’t believe it! How did you find out? Oh wow ! Does she do that every day ? That’s how you got in trouble, huh?"
"John, cool out." I rolled my eyes.
"What?" He pointed up at the deck. "Did you see that? I mean, she was naked!"
"I know! I know! I’ve been hiding here, watching her all week!"
"So...so did you see her when you were...up there?
I nodded. "Yeah."
" Really ?"
"Uh-huh."
"No shit? How’d you get up there?"
I waved at the rose bushes. "I climbed."
John’s eyes lit up. "What’d she do?"
"Oh, man. I promised not to tell anybody."
"C’mon! I won’t tell! How’d she catch you?"
I sighed. And then I spilled the beans and told him the whole story.
"No way!"
"Yep."
"That’s so cool!" He was staring at the bushes, like he was a thousand miles away.
"John? You okay?"
"Yeah." A slow grin spread across his face. "I wanna see."
Panic . "What?"
"C’mon. Let’s go up there."
"No way! She’ll call the cops!"
"No she won’t. You said she comes out every day, like she’s looking for you, right?"
"Well, yeah, But, she said..."
He grabbed me and started pulling me towards the trellis. "Forget what she said. C’mon, Dev. I just wanna look. If we’re really quiet, she won’t even know we’re there."
Looking back, it was the first time he talked me into something that I knew I shouldn’t do. It wouldn’t be the last.
When we made it to the deck, I pointed to my window and we tried to sneak by the open glass doors. We never made it. Peggy was just stepping out of her bathroom when she saw the two of us, frozen on our tip-toes, on the deck. She was carrying something big and pink and rubbery in her hand, and she jumped, startled. I got a dirty look that made me cringe, and then I realized the thing she was holding looked an awful lot like my the thing dangling from my crotch, only about ten times bigger.
" Devin !?"
Oh man , I thought. Sure, we’ll be quiet. She’ll never even see us. Sure John, okay . "Uh, hi?"
I tried a devil-may-care grin and waved. Peggy put her hands on her bare hips, making the pink thing she had clenched in her fist flop around, and she stared us down. John shuffled his feet and stared at a spider crawling along the deck.
"Well," said Peggy. "What have we here? Two naughty peeping Tom’s, instead of just one? And who might this be?"
"This is my friend John." I had to think fast, but my brain was in a deep-freeze. "We, uh..."
"Didn’t I tell you not to come back here, Devin?"
"Yeah. And about the police, too. I remember. I promised, an’ I’m sorry, but, uh..."
"I talked him into coming, Mrs. Jones."
We both stared at John. He was looking defiantly at Peggy, his chest puffed up and his chin out, like he was daring her to punish us. It took a lot for him to do that, and in that second, I knew he was a true buddy. Maybe Peggy sensed it too.
"Well," she said again. "What am I going to do with the two of you?"
We stayed quiet. Better to be in trouble and not say anything, than to say something dumb and get in deeper.
"Did you get to see everything you wanted, young man?"
"No, ma’am," John said.
We stared at him again.
"Excuse me?" Peggy blinked, and cocked her ear towards us, making her boobs wiggle. "What did you say?"
John licked his lips.
"Well, sounds like you showed a lot more to Devin, before. Ma’am. An’ he says you’ve been looking for him everyday, so I figure you wanna show him even more."
"Oh, Devin." Peggy shook her head and turned her eyes back on me, waggling the floppy thing at me. "You’ve been spying on me again?"
I grinned weakly.
"I suppose I should have expected that." She shook her head again and waved us inside. "Well, come on in, you two."
John and I exchanged quick glances. His face was beet red, all the way from the collar of his white t-shirt up through his blonde hair. He licked his lips, I shrugged and he followed me inside.
"I suppose I won’t be needing this." Peggy set the rubbery thing on the nightstand, turned on her fan, smoothed her sheets, and sat on the bed, regarding the two uf us. Finally, she smiled. "Well. What would you boys like to do today?"
John grinned. "Uh, whatever you want?"
"Really?"
He shrugged. "Sure."
"All right. Since I’m the only one here without any clothes on, let’s get you boys more comfortable as well. What’s your name again?"
John shot me a look. "John."
"Come closer, John. Let me help with this." Peggy started to wrestle with his belt, unbuckling it and then unbuttoning his jeans. John was breathing hard, his eyelids half-shut. "John, did Devin tell you everything we did?"
He nodded.
She looked over at me. I hadn’t moved a muscle. She yanked his jeans and his underpants down to his knees. His little boy equipment was hard and ready for service. "Then he told you about how I have to punish naughty boys?" He nodded again, and let Peggy bend him over her knees. She raised her hand and glanced at me. "Devin, why don’t you get the ointment?"
ÂÂ
I didn’t know until much later - just a year ago, actually, after I had an affair with his mother - that our afternoon with Peggy wasn’t John’s first time having sex. In just another year or two, John and I would go down our seperate paths, eventually taking us both into much darker places. But for the rest of that summer, we were as close as two kids could be, and we didn’t spend much more time playing army with our friends. We had other ways to spend our afternoons.
Unfortunately, our trysts only lasted until school started again, and the next summer Peggy’s husband began having heart problems. Then things fell apart with my parents. My dad started drinking - heavily - and we dealt with it by hiding the fact that he was now officially an alcoholic. After a couple years of co-dependency, drunken binges, and blackouts, he got in a bad car accident and woke up in jail. Fortunately, nobody was hurt, but even that, and losing his drivers license, didn’t help. Eventually, my mom couldn’t handle it anymore; they had a final blow out, knock-down, drag-out fight one night after he came home smelling like a beer/perfume factory, and he agreed to move out.
So my dad packed up his stuff and left the night I graduated eighth grade. That’s when my sister and I learned the peculiar joys of having a divided family.
On holidays, we shuffled around from my dad’s family to my mom’s family, visiting back and forth, all of us always stressed out and every year saying we’d never do it again. But every year we did.
The Christmas weekend during my junior year of high school was the worst.
ÂÂ
ÂÂ
ÂÂ
We spent Christmas Eve down the street at my grandparents house, with my mom’s sister - my aunt Debbie - and her husband Gregg, their seven kids and his folks. Even a couple of my great aunts and uncles showed up with bags bulging full of food and wrapped gifts.
Everything started out okay, especially that first night; my grandma fixed one of her patented holiday dinners, cooking enough food to serve a small army. We all spent a noisy couple of hours stuffing ourselves full of turkey and stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy and more, until we couldn’t breathe. After dinner, my grandma forced plates overflowing with pie a-la mode on everybody, and then the kids got their way and the group moved to the living room to gasp and wheeze, let the belts out and to open presents.
While everybody settled in, my grandpa corralled me into helping him clean up the mess. We cleared away the dishes and stocked the dishwasher, put away the tablecloth, and folded up the card table that had been the kids table; dragging it into the spare room. When we were finished, my grandma took me into the kitchen and handed me a foil-covered plate of cold food.
"Devin? Will you be a dear and take this over to Peggy for me? She was home all alone tonight, and I want her to have a nice supper."
It wasn’t snowing or anything, but it was still damn cold outside. I was about to whine about not wanting to go, but then one of my little cousins pulled the Christmas tree down with a crash, sending my grandma’s antique Christmas ornaments scattering around the room and her high-blood pressure into overdrive.
"Oh, Les!" She moaned at my grandpa, bustling off. "Why weren’t you watching her! Carrie, no-no, honey! Don’t eat that! No! Sweetie! Not in the fire! Here, give it to granny... "
My grandpa just grinned, and I judged that frostbite from walking across the street was preferable to dealing with the chaos of getting the tree back into shape. So I snuck out the back door and ran across the street. I took the stairs leading up the hill to Peggy’s door three at time; rang the bell and waited, freezing. Except for a light on in the front room, her house was dark. I could hear the chime from somewhere deep inside the house.
Nothing.
I hopped around on her porch trying to stay warm and rang the bell again, keeping my finger pressed to the buzzer, singing this little ditty: "Oh, come on, Peggy. Please. Open the door. Come on, come on, come on..."
A light went on in the hallway, and a second later, a bloodshot eyeball peeked out from around some gauzy curtains and squinted at me.
"Who’s there?"
"Mrs. Jones? Peggy?" I smiled at the eyeball and held up the plate of food. "It’s Devin. My grandma asked me to bring you some dinner?"
"Devin?" The eyeball blinked. "Mary’s grandson?"
"Yep. Peggy, Can I come in? It’s really cold out here, and I didn’t bring a coat."
"Devin?" She asked again, then the eyeball disappeared and the curtain fell back into place.
I spent the next few moments vainly trying to keep my hands from freezing, while behind the door, a chorus of locks, latches and chains were unlocked, unlatched and unchained. When the door finally opened, a wave of moist heat hit me like a blast furnace, and all the snot that had frozen in my nose started oozing down my face.
"Brrr. Thanks." I wiped my nose with the sleeve of my sweater and stepped into the hallway. I shivered, despite the heat inside the house. "My grandma said to tell you Merry Christmas, and she was sorry that...you..."
I hadn’t seen Peggy in years. John had stopped coming around after he started doing drugs and got into some trouble with the cops, but I kept up our secret liasons until Peggy’s husband fell ill, just before I started seventh grade. Mr. Jones had several strokes within a few months and required almost constant care, so it didn’t surprise me when Peggy decided that she couldn’t spend any more time with me.
Mr. Jones finally passed away about a year ago, and eventually Peggy became the neighborhood recluse - the goofy old lady that spooked the younger kids, never left her house, spied on her neighbors and gossiped over the phone with her few remaining friends.
"You’re all grown up. I didn’t even rec’nize you." She hiccupped.
We stood a moment, appraising each other. The old woman standing in front of me barely resembled the Peggy I remembered. Peggy was all dressed up, like she was ready to go out on the town, and reeked of alcohol. Her eyes were heavy and she slurred her greeting.
I had a distinct memory of her - a snapshot that was stuck in my head, of how she looked the afternoon she took my virginity. I knew she hadn’t been a young woman even then, but seeing her now shocked me with the realization of just how much time had quickly ticked past. The woman who had seemed so sweet to me then now looked small and worried, and the lush curves of her body that I’d kissed and caressed had melted into soft rolls of fat. Her long, silver hair was now cut short into a curly, cottony white puff around her rosy, pink face, and her eyes were puffy and bloodshot.
Finally Peggy smiled and held out her arms for me. Buried deep in that sad smile, I caught a tiny glimpse of the woman I had known.
"Devin? Sh’really you!" she slurred, and pulled me into a warm embrace.
"Thanks, Peggy. You look good."
"Phssh." She waved her hand in the air, spraying me with the smell of alcohol. She beckoned for me to follow her as she wobbled into the living room.
The house smelled foul; a horrible combination of booze and that awful, unwashed old-person smell; and over that, a sickly-sweet perfume. It made me want to gag. The heat and the smell got worse after Peggy shut the door, but I wrinkled my nose, gut checked, and followed her, carrying the cold plate with me. In the living room, the windows were all steamed over and she had the television turned on, but with no sound. On the screen, a black and white Jimmy Stewart was frantically discovering the true meaning of Christmas.
Other than the movie, I couldn’t see any evidence of the holiday in the house; except for a small card from my grandma that was displayed on the mantle, right next to a photo/greeting-card of some people that I guessed were Peggy’s son and his family. They were posed in front of a Christmas tree that was too big for the frame: a tall, unsmiling man with salt-and-pepper hair, standing stiffly behind a grim-looking scarecrow of a woman seated next to an equally unhappy looking pair of teenage girls kneeling on the floor. They were all dressed in their starched, Sunday Best, and one of the girls held a tiny, rat-like chihuahua in her lap. The dog was wearing a Santa hat, and looked like it was trying to bite the girls’ finger off. The caption read: ‘Happy Holidays from all of us!’.
"My son sent me that for Chris’mas. They live in Florida now." Peggy reached a small wet bar set against the wall. She used the countertop to steady her footing and navigated her way behind the bar. Then she looked up at me, squinting, and pulled out two big mugs from under the counter. "You look cold. Let’shh get you a Hot T-t-toddy."
"A what?"
She unstopped a bottle of rum and poured.
"H-hot Toddy," she slurred. "It’ll put sh’ome hair on your chest."
"Um, sure. Okay. Thanks Peggy."
I watched her prepare the drinks, and noticed her hands shaking when she finally handed me my cup.
"Cheers," she said, and clinked her mug against mine. She guzzled her drink while I took a sip, grimacing at the taste, then she flopped down on a flowery, plastic covered couch and patted the seat next to her. "Why don’t you sit down and keep me comp’ney?"
I’ve never been much of a drinker, and this tasted nasty. I tried to be discreet and set the mug on the coffee table along with the plate of food. Peggy’s head lolled around on the back of the couch with her eyes half closed, snoring quietly.
"Peggy?" I poked her shoulder. "You awake?"
She snorted and her body relaxed. The mug tipped out of her hands, spilling her drink all over her skirt. Didn’t faze her at all. I sighed and took the empty mug, setting it on the table with mine.
"Ah, Jeez."
Peggy was soaked to the skin, from her waist down. I couldn’t leave her like that, so I took her hands and pulled her off the couch with a grunt, then went in search of her bedroom. She woke up enough to mumble something about sticky fingers and stumble along with me to the staircase. I wrapped her arm around my neck and mine around her ample waist, and we slogged up the stairs to her bedroom. The door was open already, and Peggy slid halfway to the floor when I paused to flick on the lights.
Her room was like I remembered it, except I realized the bed didn’t look like it’d been slept in since the last time I was here, and the dresser was missing. Most of the knickknacks that were scattered here and there were missing too; and the wallpaper had light spots where pictures once hung. Everything was dusty and undisturbed.
Mentally, I smacked my head. Peggy must’ve moved downstairs to be closer to her husband after he got sick, and everything in this room got left behind, no longer needed.
Tough shit , I thought, I’m not gonna carry her back downstairs. No way. She can sleep up here tonight .
I tossed back the covers, then eased her down and stretched her out on the bed. I took off her shoes and set them on the floor; then stared at her wet skirt, trying to decide what I should do with that when Peggy reached over and grabbed me by the wrist.
" Whuahaa! " I yelped, and her eyes fluttered open.
Peggy glanced around the room while my heart settled down. "Devin? What’re you doing here? Why...wait, I ‘member, you brought food, I...I..." She squirmed a little, licking her lips. "Thir’sty." Then her eyes flew wide open and she clutched my arm. "Why am I all wet? Did I...Oh no, I didn’t..."
It took me a second to realize what the panic attack was all about.
"What? Oh! Oh, no, you didn’t p...I mean, you just fell asleep when we were sitting downstairs and spilled a drink. That’s all. I didn’t want you to sleep on the wet couch, so I brought you upstairs. I just kinda assumed your room was still up here, and..."
I trailed off with a shrug. Peggy slowly looked around the room, then settled her eyes back on me and relaxed her grip on my arm. She kicked her legs and grunted uncomfortably, jerking her hips into the air, trying to reach the zipper to her skirt.
"Will you help me wi’f this?" Peggy’s skirt had shifted around to the side; she was nowhere near the zipper.
"Sure. Here, let me..." I unbuttoned and unzipped her, and helped her pull the skirt off.
"Sh’till wet." Peggy hooked her fingers underneath the waistband of her panties, slip, and nylons and wiggled, pushing them down off her hips until they stuck around her thighs. She swore and collapsed back onto the bed, looking like she wanted to cry. "Help...?"
I could feel my face flush red at the sight of her pubic hair, and was suddenly a little dizzy. "Are you sure?"
Peggy just closed her eyes and nodded. I slipped her clothes down her legs, and helped her take off her jacket too. Then I pulled the covers over her and tucked her in.
"There you go Peg," I said. She smiled forlornly at me, and something made me lean over. I was going to just give her a kiss on the forehead, but she grabbed my arms and wouldn’t let go.
"W-will you stay here for a while?" She pleaded. "With me?"
My family was probably already wondering what happened to me. "Peggy, I should get back."
"Please, Devin?"
"I don’t..."
"Please. Please don’t go."
Something in her eyes did it. I sighed. "Can I use your phone to call my grandma’s, just to let them know I’ll be a little late?"
"But you’ll come back?"
I nodded. "I promise."
"Okay." She smiled, and I watched a tear trickle from the corner of her eye. "The phone’s in the kitchen."
"Be right back."
I slipped away from the bed and turned back to find her smiling at me, then I went downstairs to hunt for a phone.
ÂÂ
ÂÂ
"Did she like the dinner?"
My grandma seemed pretty excited when I told her that Peggy asked me to stay and watch the end of It’s a Wonderful Life with her.
"Oh...uh, yep. She sure did, grandma. Loved it. Peggy says to tell you thanks."
Grandma made a happy sound on her end of the line. "You two have fun. I’ll tell your mom you’ll be home after the movie."
"Okay."
"She says not to forget you’re going to your aunt’s for Christmas."
"Okay."
"You’ll remember?"
"Yeah, grandma. I’ll remember about tomorrow."
"Okay then. Bye-bye."
"Bye, grandma."
"Love you!"
"Love you, too."
"Okay. Bye."
"Bye."
I sighed and hung up as grandma tried another "‘bye!", and assessed my options. I thought about leaving, just quietly walking home; but I promised I’d stay.
"Crap." I muttered to myself and tiptoed back upstairs. If I was lucky, she might’ve fallen back asleep. But no...
"Devin?" She whispered as I peeked into the doorway. "You came back?"
"Uh-huh."
The light from the hallway illuminated the room like a bad horror movie; all I could see was my shadow stretching out over the floor, with soft light framing Peggy’s head. The rest of the room was bathed in darkness. Peggy smiled and waved me inside. She clutched the covers up to her chest, and I noticed her arms were bare.
"Come in," she said, and I did.
"You okay?" I asked.
"I’m fine." Peggy smiled, shyly, and moved the covers. I blinked. Somehow she’d managed to take off her blouse, but not her bra, and was lying there waiting for me. "Will you shut the door, and come and sit with me?"
I did, and I did.
"Such a sweet boy, Devin. My sweet boy, all grown up." She whispered, and her hands fumbled with my belt. "All grown up," she said again, and I shivered as her hands gripped me. And in the dark, for a while, we tried to forget our past.
ÂÂ
ÂÂ
I got home quite a bit later than I expected. Everybody was already asleep; I could hear my mom snoring upstairs, even with all the doors closed. A shopping bag full of wrapped presents was on the floor by our Christmas tree, with a card for me pinned to the front. I opened the envelope and found a goofy-looking reindeer grinning back at me. ‘ Merry Christmas ’, it said, ‘ wait for us and we’ll open our presents together tomorrow before we go ’.
"Great," I mumbled, "sounds like a plan." I slipped the card back in it’s cheery red-and-green envelope, dropped it in the bag, and went to raid the ‘fridge.
ÂÂ
ÂÂ
On Christmas Day, my aunt Rachel (now on her third husband - a high-powered corporate lawyer named Arnold, or ‘Uncle Arnie’, as he wanted us to call him) invited all of us to their annual Christmas dinner party. Ol’ Arnie greeted us - my mom, my sister and I - at their huge front doors, and proceeded to give us the grand tour of the super-cool, huge fucking house they’d built, just in time for the party. We ooed and aahed at all the right places as he told us over and over how much it all cost.
That’s about when my headache kicked in. It was barely noticeable at first, just a dull ache in my temples. But it got worse.
We finished up the tour with a visit to the kitchen, where my aunt was watching my grandmother (Dad’s mom) supervise the caterers. She was standing with her arms crossed, tapping her foot impatiently, as my grandma bustled around, sticking her fingers into the pots and grimacing.
"Oh, Rachel! That’s not going to be finished in time! Why don’t I just..."
The guy in the chef’s uniform standing at the stove groaned audibly. Didn’t even faze my grandma, but my aunt wrinkled her nose at him and nodded.
"Mom, I’m sure the food’ll be fine. Marco’s been here with his crew for two days, they know where everything is, and I don’t think they need your help. Why don’t you go find Ashley and John and help them find their gifts under the tree." My aunt raised an eyebrow and spoke to her mom like she was a small child. "Hmn?"
My grandmother said something that sounded like, ‘tssk-tssk’, and waved her hand. My aunt rolled her eyes at her mom, and then grinned as she saw us walk into the kitchen.
"Hey!" she squealed, threw open her arms and rushed over to us.
Aunt Rachel hugged each of us, and gave me a tiny little peck on the cheek to go along with my bonecrusher. I’ve got to say, my aunt looked great, even after having two kids. During the early 70’s, just after my sister was born, she’d grown her hair out and wore it long and straight. She laughingly called that her pseudo-hippy period, when she wore tight buckskin pants and looked just like an indian princess. Now her hair was cut in a curly bob and she was dressed conservatively, wearing a dark blue skirt with a matching pinstriped jacket over a creamy, white silk blouse.
She looked every inch the proper lawyers wife.
"Dinner should be ready in a little bit, if mom quits fussing." She turned to her husband. "Arnie, will you do something about her?"
"Sure thing, baby." I grimaced as he kissed her. "C’mon, Marge. Let me show you the billiard room. I bet that’s where the grandkids are hiding."
"But...but...the food!" Grandma twittered as Arnie led her out of the kitchen.
Rachel put her hand to her eyes and shook her head. She and my mom shared a laugh, and then my aunt was forcing appetizers at us.
"Merry Christmas! Eat! Drink! Tell me what’s going on in the real world."
They giggled and chatted. After some small talk, my mom and my sister wandered off, leaving me alone with my aunt.
"Can I get you anything to drink? She opened a monstrous stainless steel fridge and bent inside. I admired her butt, felt my teen-age hormones kicking in.
"A Coke?"
"Comin’ up, Sweetie."
She pulled out two frosty bottles and popped the tops. She handed me one and put hers to her lips. She closed her eyes and sighed as she sipped, then she grinned at me.
"Nothin’ better than suckin’ on a cold bottle of pop."
"Mm." I agreed, grinning back.
"Your dad’s here, you see him yet?"
"Uh-uh." Just knowing he was in the same house made me feel a little sick.
"Waiting till the last minute?"
I nodded, and guzzled soda ‘till I burped.
"Classy. So, Dapper-Dan," she grinned at me over her Coke. "You dating anybody these days?"
I shrugged. "Kinda."
"Yeah?"
I nodded again.
"Just one?"
That made me grin and blush like a fool. My aunt grinned back.
"You like her?"
"Yep."
"She pretty?"
"I think so."
Aunt Rachel waited, her head cocked to the side and her eyebrows raised, this time at me .
"Well?" She asked.
I took a sip. Two could play at this game. "Well, what?"
"How pretty is she?"
"What d’you mean?"
"Pretty as me?" She posed for me, giving me her profile.
I shook my head. "No way."
"Sheesh. I thought I was gonna have to smack you."
"You know, I kinda like that sorta thing now."
Her eyebrows shot up. "Oh, really ?" My aunt gave me a shocked look, then she grinned and kissed my cheek. "Crazy kids these days; minds always in the gutter." She rubbed her lipstick smudge off with her thumb. "There." She sat back. "Shall we mingle?"
"Okay."
"You’ll be my date?"
"Sure."
"Because I wouldn’t want you to get embarrassed, seen with an older woman and all that. Now that you’ve got a girlfriend, I mean."
"S’okay. Really."
We clinked bottles and she took me by the arm, led me into the house and introduced me to about a hundred different people as her favorite nephew. I enjoyed her attention and everything seemed to go okay right up until dinnertime.
That’s when my dad fell off the wagon, in front of everybody.
Hard.
He’d been sober about six months, supposedly. I don’t really know much about what happened, but at some point in the evening he started walking around sipping a martini. My mom was ignoring him - badly - and then everything went to shit. My dad said something, my sister started crying and she and my mom ran to one of the dozen bathrooms. That caused a shouting match between my dad and my aunt, which ended with my dad slamming his drink back and roaring off in his middle-age-crisis convertible.
Dinner was a bit uncomfortable, but for some reason (pride?), we stayed. After dessert, I wandered off to find a quiet spot to be alone. I managed to locate a room on the fourth floor that didn’t contain any people, just an entertainment system with a big screen TV and a new leather couch. Not too much later, my aunt came looking for me. She found me sitting on the floor with my legs scrunched up to my chest. My head was pounding.
"Dev? You okay?"
She flicked on the light switch; I groaned and lifted my hand to block the glare. I hadn’t even realized the room was dark.
"Yeah. Just a bad headache."
"Oh...here." She clicked the switch again and the lights dimmed until I could just make out her profile. Then she shut the door and sat down on the couch next to me. "Is that better?"
"Yeah. Thanks."
I leaned my head back on the couch and sighed. The leather creaked as she settled in next to me and she ran cool fingers over my forehead.
"Is it okay if I rub your temples?"
"Sure," I said. "I’d like that."
My aunt scooted closer to me and my cheek rubbed against her knee. "Can you squeeze between my legs? I can’t quite reach." I leaned forward a little so she could move her leg behind my back. She stroked her fingernails through my hair, pulling me towards her. "There. Does that feel nice?"
Her skirt wouldn’t let her legs spread too far apart, and my shoulders were wedged tightly between her thighs. Despite the migraine, I was getting a boner.
"Mm-hmm."
"Your mom took your sister home." I half turned around, but she shushed me. "I told her you could stay here tonight. She said that would be okay. Or I could give you a ride home now, if you want."
My head felt like mush, so I grappled with that for a while. "I don’t want to make things any worse for you with Arnie. I mean, my dad, and my mom..."
"It’s okay."
"No. It’s not okay."
"Arnie understands, Dev."
My throat felt raw. "Sure he does."
"Don’t be a snot, Dev." She gave me a little pop on the top of my head. Then, "Look, I know he’s your dad. But he’s my brother. I get it; I understand how much all this hurts."
I didn’t know what to say to that, so I stayed quiet.
"Arnie knew he had a drinking problem years ago. He told me so the first night he and Mike met. And I didn’t believe him. I don’t think my folks believed it either, even when your mom split up with him." She paused for a second, but never stopped stroking my head. I waited her out. "None of us had any idea how bad it got, until this summer. I don’t know why, but Arnie agreed to let me ask your dad to help us when we were building this damn house."
That surprised me. "He did?"
"Yeah. It was awful. If Mike actually bothered to show up, he was too drunk to work." She sighed. "I don’t know why Arnie agreed to let him come tonight."
I chewed on that for a second. Something she said was bugging me, but it was waay off the subject.
"Don’t you like your house?"
"Hm?" She sounded lost. "It’s Arnie’s fucking house. I hate it."
I managed to turn halfway around. "Seriously?"
She nodded. "Yeah.
"Why? I mean, It’s so nice...and you and Arnie, and your kids..."
"Shit." She snorted. "I love my kids, and I suppose I still love Arnie, but..." She shrugged. "Your dad’s not the only person who didn’t wind up the way they expected."
"Wow. I mean, you guys seem so...happy."
She waved her hand. "You know what? I don’t even know most of the people here tonight. Except for you guys and my folks, they’re pretty much all Arnie’s family or his friends from work. Shit, I haven’t seen or talked to any of my old friends since we got married. I barely see my family."
"Wow. I’m sorry." I meant it, but saying the words felt feeble and completely inadequate. "Maybe I should go home. I mean..."
"No, no. It’s okay. Arnie’s too busy schmoozing to even notice I’m missing. Let’s just hide here and be quiet for a while?" She smiled down at me. "Dev, seeing you was the best thing that happened to me tonight."
She mussed my hair and I managed to smile around my thobbing head. "Sure."
"Good." She patted the couch next to her. "Come up here with me."
She took my hands and pulled. I crawled up onto the couch and ended up kneeling awkwardly with my face barely inches away from hers. We both blinked, and she ginned and patted her thighs.
"Here. Lie down."
I flipped over onto my back, snuck an arm under her thighs, and stretched out with my head pillowed in her lap. My aunt was soft and warm and sweet, and for the first time in a long, long time, I let myself relax and enjoy her touch and her smile. She gently stroked my face, and after a while, we both drifted away.
ÂÂ
The clock on the entertainment system told me it was a little after four in the morning. I woke up feeling groggy, like my head was full of oatmeal. I was still lying on the couch, flat on my back, with my head on a fluffy throw-pillow. At first, I wasn’t sure what woke me. The house was quiet, settled. I figured the party was long over, and wondered if anyone had missed us.
I rubbed my eyes with my free hand and yawned; and I realized I wasn’t alone on the couch when my aunt shook and let out a small, quiet cry in her sleep. She was snuggled up against me with her head tucked under my chin, her hand resting on my chest, panting softly. The couch wasn’t all that wide, and she’d thown one of her legs over me, tangling it between mine. She moaned again and rubbed her face into my chest, clutching my shirt with her hand and wiggling her body against me.
"Uh," I whispered, and nudged her softly. "Hey, wake..."
That was all I managed, because my aunt rolled half on top of me. Her hand snaked up past my neck and she started to play with my hair. Her breath was coming in sharp little gasps now, and she straddled my thigh. Moisture seeped into my pant leg as she rubbed her crotch against me, and she started to kiss me, slowly, her soft lips brushing my neck and my chin. Her other arm slid up and her hands cupped my head, and she shifted her body completely on top of me. Suddenly I was hard as a rock, and she was gently riding me.
"Oh God..."
My aunt shivered and clutched me close, then she put her hands on my chest and pushed herself up. She stayed like that for a minute, with her back arched and her hands bunched into little fists, pulling my shirt into a ball. Her body twitched once, and twice, and I felt a warm flood spread over my pants. She collapsed on top of me, and her hands pulled my face close to hers, and she kissed me. Her lips pressed against mine and her little tongue flicked inside my mouth, tickling and probing.
I gently tried to push her away.
"Hey..."
"Sshh," she put a finger on my lips. I could barely make out her face in the darkness, but I thought she was smiling. "If you don’t want this, we’ll stop and I’ll take you home," she said. Then she reached down and stroked my cock through the wet spot in my pants. "Do you want me to stop?"
I didn’t really have to think about it. My aunt took my silence as her cue and she scooted her butt further down on my thighs. She unbuckled my belt and unzipped me, and I heard her grunt as she forced my pants down over my hips. I sprang free, and she bent over me, her hands gripping me tightly.
"Quiet now."
My aunt kissed the tip of my cock, licking the tip and then working her way down my shaft to my balls. I heard myself groan when she mouthed me. My hips jerked up into her face, pushing me all the way inside her mouth. Her hands circled under my ass, and suddenly I was five again, back in her old apartment. I wanted to tangle my hands in her hair and push her head down harder, but I didn’t touch her. I didn’t want to do anything that might make her stop, so I let her have her way.
My aunt slowly worked my cock, until I was ready to scream. I rammed my hands behind the pillow and squeezed it until I thought the stuffing might burst out, and listened to the soft, wet, slurping sounds, the little moans and groans, until she had me ready to pop my load. She stopped and kissed the tip once more, then crawled up until she straddled my hips again. She found my hands and pressed them to her breasts, making me squeeze them.
"Take it off," she panted. "Quick."
I didn’t ask what she wanted off. I found the collar of her blouse and yanked it open, popping buttons. I tore her blouse down to her waist and pulled it open, then ran my hands back up to her breasts. She was wearing a thin satin bra, and I pulled the straps down over her shoulders until her hard little nipples popped into my hands. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her closer to me, softly kissing her neck, her shoulders, her breasts.
My aunt was trying to pull up her skirt, but it stuck at the bottom of her butt. "Shit..." she grunted, pulling away. "Dammit."
I grinned and wrapped my arms around her. I ran my hands over her ass until I found the hem of her skirt, and then gave it a good pull. I heard the material rip and felt it split open, and then I was doing the same to her silk slip. She bent over me, and her tits rubbed my chest. I settled the material up around her waist and played with her ass for a minute. She was kissing me hard, shoving her tongue into my mouth and grinding her pussy onto my dick.
"Come on, come on..." she panted.
I wrapped my fists around a handful of nylons and panties and ripped them away from her ass, tearing a huge hole in her stockings and ripping her panties in half. Her wet pussy immediately found my dick, and she swirled her hips in a circle as she settled down on me. Then the whole world just slipped away, leaving just the two of us, alone in the dark.

And that’s something you just don’t tell a girlfriend.
Here it is, Thursday morning. I still haven’t emailed Julia back, to let her know if I’m going with her or not. No feedback from you folks yet either, not even after a couple thousand hits on the first part of this post. Thanks for helping a brotha’ out, Dear Readers. The story does currently have a 10 star rating, however. That’s nifty.

Unfortunately, my quandary continues…
The question is this: Do I go to the state fair this weekend with Julia, the woman who is basically my sister-in-law, and who I’ve had the hots for for the last several years (and who I think has the hots for me too)? And if I do, do I make a mess out of everything – meaning, am I reading into her invitation what I think I am, and do I act on it? Or, am I just a complete and total idiot who’s thinking with his dick?
Decisions, decisions.
Now, the invitation may be very innocent. Realistically, I know it probably is, and that I’m just a big, over-sexed dork. I’ve been pondering the repercussions of tagging along for the last week; ever since Julia sent me the email reminding me about the fair and asking me to go with her because her husband (herein known as ‘Hubby’) won’t. Hubby and my girlfriend Diana – his sister – both seem okay with the idea of Julia and I spending the day – and possibly night – together, alone and unsupervised.
If you read part one of this story, you’ll understand my issues. If not…well, let’s just say that Julia and I have a history of some uncomfortable/embarrassing situations together. Little things scattered here and there over the years. Stuff that’s never amounted to anything, really.
Or maybe I’m wrong.
ÂÂ
I’ll let you read part one and decide for yourself if I’m just reading things badly, because my cell phone’s ringing, and I should probably answer it.
The caller-I.D. says it’s Julia.
Looks like I might have to give her an answer without the benefit of your help.
***
Well, she asked me again. Sounded all excited; gushed on and on about how much fun we were going to have. I might have smiled.
I said yes. That I’d love to go.
She said she’d pick me up tomorrow, right at noon.
I said I’d be here waiting. Then I hung up and called Diana to let her know and felt guilty during the entire call, wondering what the hell I was getting myself into.
***
When I woke up at nine, Diana had already left for work. I took a quick run, stretched, ate a banana and a bowl of granola, loaded up on my allergy medicine and jumped in the shower. Soaped up, rinsed, and dried off with minutes to spare. The sun was shining and it was already warm out, so I pulled on a pair of shorts and a black t-shirt, packed a day bag with some warmer clothes, and by the time I finished, the doorbell was ringing. I slipped into a worn-out pair of cracked leather hiking boots, grabbed my bag and ran downstairs.
I found Julia with her hands up, pressed against the glass panel of my front door to cut the glare from the sun, peering into the dark house. When she saw me come down the stairs, she grinned and waved. She was totally Gap-ed out: wearing a pale blue, fitted, button-down blouse over a white v-neck t-shirt; the blouse open down just past swell of her breasts and tucked into a tight pair of new khaki walking shorts. Her legs were shaved smooth and still tanned a golden brown from the anniversary vacation she and Hubby had taken to Hawaii a few months ago. Her weight was slightly on the upswing – her breasts were enormous and wobbled as she waved. The sight of her tits bouncing around in all their cannon-ball sized glory made my mouth go dry; dry enough that I had to lick my lips to get the moisture flowing again.
I cleared my throat, waved back and unlocked the door. Opened it and let her in.
She took off her silver-framed racing sunglasses, folded them and tucked them between her breasts. My eyes followed her hand, lingered on the glasses. Vaguely, the Little Devil that lives in my head informed me how lucky they were to be able to rest there. My Little Angel reluctantly agreed.
Julia caught me looking. Smiled. “Hey,†she said, eyeing my pack. “Ready to go?â€Â
“Yep.†I tore my eyes away from her cleavage. “Just let me find my cell phone and my…uh, my sunglasses.â€Â
“Okay.â€Â
She followed me into the dining room (the scene of our last – and my most embarrassing encounter, when she and my mother in law had walked in on me one morning while I was jacking off at the dining room table), stretching as she walked.
“I already packed lunch and stuff for us. You don’t have to bring anything.â€Â
“Really?†I mumbled, and unplugged my cell phone from its charger, and tucked it away in its own little pouch on my bags’ strap. I patted the pouch to make sure everything was secure, and found my sunglasses under the pile of junk mail scattered on the tabletop.
“Um-hmm.â€Â
“I didn’t even think about food, just brought some warmer clothes, in case…†I turned around in time to catch Julia with her elbows up over her head, bent at an angle with her forearms wrapped down behind her neck, still stretching.
Pushing her chest out at me.
Her blouse and t-shirt came un-tucked, pulled slightly out of the waistband of her shorts. Flashed her tan belly, her tiny little waist. I trailed off, stared. She threw a sly, flirtatious grin at me. I blinked and had to lick my lips again.
“Oh, okay.†She yawned and jingled her keys. “Ready?â€Â
“Sure,†I said, thickly. “Let’s go.â€Â
I followed Julia out and locked up. She was parked right at the front curb. She bweeped her new gold Land Rover unlocked. I tossed my bag in the backseat next to hers, and we piled in and buckled up. The soft leather seats crinkled under us as we got comfy. She stuck the key in the ignition and fired the SUV up, turned to me and gave me another grin.
“I’ve been looking forward to this for weeks.â€Â
I nodded as the climate control came on, blasting us with cool air. The stereo blipped on too, something loud blasting out of the speakers. Alannis Morrisette, I think. She turned it down low enough that we could talk without shouting.
“Me too,†I said.
She smiled, pulled out into the street. “Really?â€Â
“Sure.â€Â
“You’re not just being nice, and going with me because no one else would?â€Â
I raised my eyebrow in best Spock fashion. “Why would I do that?â€Â
She shrugged, slipped back on her sunglasses. I found mine and followed her lead: it was bright enough out that I’d have a nice headache later if I didn’t.
“I don’t know, just…,†she frowned, looked kind of sheepish. I decided to pry a bit.
“Just what?â€Â
“Greg and Diana thought it was funny.â€Â
Ah, Greg. Otherwise known as Hubby.
I tried to sound flippant. “Funny, huh?â€Â
“Uh-huh.â€Â
“Well, I want to go.†I turned, gave her my honest eyes. “It sounds fun.â€Â
She turned to me and smiled. “And there’ll be barbecue.â€Â
Our own private joke.
“Ah, God. That’s right. That’s how you got me to come along.â€Â
Julia grinned and checked her rearview mirror, signaled to get on the freeway. When she turned her head, I took the chance to really look her over. She had settled easily back in her seat, used her right hand to steer the big SUV with. The smooth, round muscles in her legs tightened and relaxed as she drove. She was wearing expensive new sneakers with no socks; a delicate, golden ankle bracelet dangling around her right ankle. Her seatbelt was strapped across the middle of her chest, crossing right between her breasts, defining them; making them seem even larger. I could see the outline of her bra through her t-shirt; it looked white and lacy. Nice.
With the air-conditioning on full blast, it was quickly getting cold in the car. Her nipples poked out through the thin material of her blouse.
I swallowed hard, closed my eyes and turned my attention to the road in front of us. The fairgrounds were a couple hours away, even if we had light traffic. Suddenly, I couldn’t remember ever spending more than a few minutes alone with Julia, ever; in all the years we’d known each other. What the hell were we going to talk about?
It was going to be a long drive.
***
We stopped once for gas, at a dilapidated quickie-mart/burger-chicken-and jo-jo joint. Julia asked the scrubby guy in battered overalls who came out to pump our gas where the restroom was. He dug a grimy key out of his pocket, grunted, and pointed to a door on the side of the building.
“Be right back,†she said, and gingerly took the key from his grease covered fingers.
I went inside to pay. A cowbell jangled when I opened the door. The clerk barely even looked up, all his attention riveted on a video security monitor set on top of the cluttered counter. I poked around the store for a minute and found a couple bottles of water, which were the only items other than beer that didn’t look too out of date.
It took the clerk a second to divert his attention from the monitor when I plopped the bottles on the counter. He snuffled snot and pinched the tip of his zit-infested nose with grimy fingers. Punched a button on the old manual cash register twice. “That’ll be two-ninety-eight.â€Â
I dug out my wallet. “What’cha watching?â€Â
His eyes went wide and he snuffled more snot and glanced down at the monitor, then over at the door. I noticed a dusty VCR tucked into a cubby hole under the counter, right under the monitor. The machine was on and recording.
He looked nervous, antsy that somebody was talking to him. “Nothin’.â€Â
“Aw, C’mon, don’t be like that…†I tried to peek, but he had the monitor turned away at an angle, so I could just see a blur of motion on the black and white screen. The screen was sectioned off into four separate feeds and looked live, piped in from somewhere, but not from the store.
The clerk leaned over the counter, peered out at the guy pumping the gas. I caught a whiff of bad B.O. “Okay, here.†He gave me a conspiratorial wink, turned the monitor my way. “Check it out man.â€Â
I squinted and leaned over the counter, wondering for a second what I was looking at. Then my mouth fell open.
“We got some hidden cameras set up in the bathroom. Here, there’s sound, too.†He touched a dial on the monitor. And suddenly I was listening to and watching Julia sit and pee, from four distinct angles.
I looked up at the clerk. He grinned at me and nodded. He was missing his front teeth. Most of the others, too. “Pretty cool, huh?â€Â
It took me a second to answer. I just couldn’t stop staring. Julia finished peeing, and I watched her wipe. I tried to scope out where the cameras were placed: I figured there was one hidden in the wall above the sink, probably hidden behind the mirror; there was one mounted in the middle of the ceiling; and another one right behind the toilet, about waist-high. And the crowning achievement: one camera planted right inside the toilet bowl – giving us a bird’s-eye view right up Julia’s naked butt.
“Uh…yeah.†I mumbled, and glanced at the VCR. “You record this stuff?â€Â
“Yeah, well…†He looked uncomfortable again, as if he knew this could get him in deep shit, but he couldn’t help but show off. “Just the girls. Y’know, the cute ones. No dudes.â€Â
Julia stood up, completely unaware of the cameras, her shorts and panties down around her ankles. Shades of me at my dining room table. I caught a quick glimpse of her pubic hair as she pulled up her panties. Lacy and white – her panties, I mean – matching her bra. Her pubic hair just looked light and gray in the monitor.
I heard the clerk sigh happily. I felt something stirring, down south in my pants. Julia flushed and stepped to the sink, washed her hands.
“Nice, huh?†He asked.
I raised both my eyebrows. “Yeah, I guess. Just try not to get caught.â€Â
“Yeah, no kiddin’.†He nodded and carefully turned the monitor away. “Anyway, the water’ll be three bucks.â€Â
The cowbell jangled and the gas-jockey poked his head in. “Y’all done in here? Tank’s filled up and yer girl’s back from the toilet.â€Â
I smiled at the clerk, nodded at the monitor, and pulled out a fifty. “I’ll pay for the gas she bought too.â€Â
The clerk gulped. I actually heard it. “Uh, okay…†he half turned to the gas-guy. “What pump was that Mel?â€Â
“Three.â€Â
The cowbell clanked again. Mel’s head disappeared from view. The clerk pinched his nose and rang me up. “Uh, that’ll be Forty-four-oh-five, with the gas.â€Â
“Holy shit, that’s a lot.â€Â
“Yeah.†He shrugged, then he leaned closer. I smelled more B.O. He jerked his eyeballs towards the security monitor and practically whispered, “Hey man, uh, was that your wife in the john, or whatever? I mean, shit, I didn’t…â€Â
“Nope. Don’t worry about it.†I handed over the bill and a nickel. He shrugged again, confused, and gave me some crumpled singles back. I slapped them back down on the counter and pointed at the VCR. “Keep it. Consider it a tip. Enjoy that video, okay?â€Â
He paused, confused. “Yeah, uh, okay.â€Â
I turned to go.
He scooped up his money, shouted after me, “Hey! Have a nice day, mister!â€Â
***
I found Julia leaning on the Land Rover’s fender, one foot up on the bumper, letting the sun shine down on her upturned face. She gave me a slow, lazy wave and peeled away from the warm car.
“What took you so long, Cowboy?â€Â
“Cowboy?â€Â
She grinned, and I handed her one of the bottles.
“Mmm, thanks.†She cracked the seal and took a sip. “Yeah, Cowboy. We are going to the state fair, you know, to check out the horses and stuff.â€Â
“Oh, right. Horses. Cowboy. I get it.â€Â
She gave me a pat on the shoulder and scooted by me, skipped around the front of the SUV to the drivers’ side. I felt her touch all the way down into my already excited crotch. Standing a few feet away from me, the scrubby guy who’d pumped our gas spit a hunk of green tobacco juice onto the pavement and watched Julia’s ass until she’d walked all the way around to her door. She opened her door, I pulled open mine. We jumped inside.
“So,†she said, clicking her seatbelt back into place. “What took you so long?â€Â
“Ah, well, the guy inside…was telling me about his…home movies. I guess we had something in common.â€Â
“Huh. Interesting stuff?â€Â
“You’d be surprised,†I said, and shut my door.
Julia started the SUV. I rolled down my window. The clerk had joined the gas-guy by the pumps, and they were both staring after us. The clerk was sporting a fair-sized boner in his coveralls as we drove off.
***
It was well after two in the afternoon when we finally pulled into the fairgrounds’ jam-packed parking lot. It took forever, but we finally found a spot open way in the back of the lot. Julia was muttering to herself during the entire ten-minute hunt.
She gave a frustrated sigh. “Doesn’t anybody work anymore? And look at all these kids. Shouldn’t they be in school?â€Â
I laughed and looked around at a sea of wooly-mustached men with big belt buckles riding their Wrangler jeans, cowboy hats on their heads; chubby women with puffy hair, fake tits and tight acid-wash jeans; and the kids running around with filthy, snot-covered faces.
“Hey, it’s redneck land, remember? I don’t think any of these people went to school.â€Â
We stepped out of the Land Rover into the crowd, got our bags and strapped them on. I took a big, deep breath, expecting to smell the fresh country air people are always talking about. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that fresh country air smelled a whole lot like ripe cow shit.
Give me some nice fresh smog anytime.
However, to my surprise, I did notice a lot of nice new BMW’s and Lexus’s and a bundle of big, expensive SUV’s mixed in with the standard jacked up trucks.
Julia stepped around to my side of the Land Rover and we made our way into the flow of the lemmings. The smell of cow shit got stronger the closer we got to the entry. When we reached the line at the main gate, we had a small tiff over who was going to pay for our tickets. Julia put her foot down.
“No way. I invited you, remember? And you already paid for gas. That probably cost a bunch.†She pulled my hand away from my wallet and pushed in front of me. The ladies working the booth looked on, bemused. “This is my treat.â€Â
I knew when I was beaten. I held up my hands in surrender. “Okay, okay.â€Â
Julia smiled triumphantly. “Two adults.â€Â
The lady at the register held out a hand. “Fifty seven dollars please.â€Â
Wow, I thought. Sixty bucks to smell fresh cow poop.
Julia didn’t seem to bat an eye. She just forked over the money and grabbed the tickets. Then she took me by the arm and led me through the turnstile, where a weathered-old geezer ripped our tickets, and into the fair.
At least, I think she did. All I was aware of at that point was her arm twined in mine, and the press of her warm body against me. Giddy and stupid, sprouting a sudden boner that was so hard and throbbed so badly it hurt like hell.
I hate to say it, but I spent most of the afternoon like that.
***
We’d come all this way to see the horses, not smell the cow shit. I found this out right away. Julia told me that she’d grown up on a farm, raising and riding the big animals since she was a little girl. She talked as we walked, giving me the fine points on raising show horses. I think I already knew most of what she was telling me from conversations with Diana, who grew up much the same way. And, also like my conversations with Diana, all the information on the subject blew out of my head as soon as it went in.
 We wandered around the straw-strewn cement paths, moving with the flow of the crowd, pausing now and then at little booths hawking crummy doodads and dodging dirty kids with cotton candy smeared faces, until we found an auction going on.
We stopped to watch for a bit.
“Did you ever ride?†Julia asked.
“Not really. Well, once, when I was a kid, on a vacation with my folks. We stopped at some place on the coast and went riding for maybe an hour or so.â€Â
“Did you like it?â€Â
I shrugged. “Kind of, I guess. All I really remember is that my horse just wanted to eat and kept drifting off into the bushes.â€Â
“You’re supposed to control that.â€Â
“Yeah, well. I figured the horse knew what it was doing.â€Â
“Ah, my little Cowboy.â€Â
She smiled wistfully. Crossed her arms under her breasts and leaned on the wood railing separating the auction crowd under their canvas awning from the pathways. We were quiet for a minute. I watched her watch the animals, thinking, ‘My little Cowboy’?
“Do you miss it?†I asked. “Being a farm girl?â€Â
“Sometimes.â€Â
Another quiet spell. Before it got uncomfortable, Julia looked up at me. “Did Diana tell you that Greg and I were going to try and have another baby?â€Â
“Uh, no,†I blinked. “I don’t think so.â€Â
She turned her attention back to the auction. Quiet again. I wondered where that comment came from, and how the hell I supposed to respond. I cleared my throat.
“So…three, huh?â€Â
Julia nodded. Watched a chestnut colored horse nicker and snort. The horse pee’d in the straw, its huge shlong flopping. I stared. “Suddenly, I feel a little inadequate.
Julia laughed at me, then got serious again. “I told Greg I wanted to get a dog.â€Â
Okay, now I was getting confused. So…
“A…dog.†I was really lost. “I…â€Â
“Uh-huh.†She made a face. “For the kids. They’ve wanted one forever. But Greg hates dogs. He said he’d rather have another baby. And he was ready for me to have my tubes tied after we had Ronnie.â€Â
I had absolutely no idea what to say. So I said, “Oh. So you’re saying her really doesn’t want to get a dog.â€Â
“Mm.â€Â
“But…†Tentative, here. “You’re going to have another kid instead.
“Mm-hmm.â€Â
That seemed to answer that. I watched her chew on her lip. “So…do you want more kids?â€Â
She took a minute to answer. “I don’t know. I…sometimes I have a hard time with being a mom.â€Â
“I can imagine…â€Â
“I had a really bad pregnancy with Ronnie. And after, too.†She hugged herself tighter. “I got really depressed. Greg and I almost separated.â€Â
Diana had told me all this, in confidence. I wasn’t supposed to know.
“We’re okay now,†she continued, “at least, I’m okay. More or less. We’re still working on things.â€Â
I knew what that was like.
Julia looked up, searched my face. Blurted, “Why haven’t you married Diana?â€Â
“What?â€Â
“Do you love her?†Julia turned slightly. Shifted closer. “You’ve almost been together as long as me and Greg. Why haven’t you gotten married?â€Â
“Um. Well…â€Â
“Greg told me that Marlene offered to pay for your wedding and your honeymoon if you did.â€Â
Ah, yes. Marlene and her good intentions. What a god-awful no-win situation that had been.
“Yeah, she did.â€Â
“But you didn’t.â€Â
I shook my head. “No, we didn’t.â€Â
“Why?â€Â
I sighed, exasperated. “Julia…â€Â
“It’s okay, if you don’t want to talk about it.â€Â
“Okay,†I was getting grumpy. “Good.â€Â
She changed the subject. “Are you hungry?â€Â
I hadn’t eaten anything since my bowl of granola that morning. My stomach was doing flip-flops. That was probably what was making me cranky. Low blood sugar.
“Oh, yeah.â€Â
***
We paid another ten bucks to enter a beer garden. For our ten dollars, we got a pair of red tickets – scrip – to use for one drink each. I got a foamy, lukewarm cup half full of dark ale and Julia got a small cup of hard lemonade.
The lady who served our drinks pointed at me, then at Julia. “Hey, are you two related?â€Â
“Uh,†I glanced at Julia. “No…â€Â
“Wow. You really look a lot alike, like you could be twins, almost.â€Â
Julia’s head jerked back half an inch. “We do?
The woman nodded sagely. She reached out and patted the back of Julia’s hand. “Oh, honey, yes you do. Mary!†She called to her partner, busy ringing up the customers at the end of the line. “Look at these two and tell me they aren’t brother and sister.â€Â
Mary pushed her bifocals back up her nose and examined us. “Yep. You’re right Deb.†She pointed at Julia, then at me, twirling her finger in a circle. “It’s right there in the noses and the eyes.â€Â
“Honey, I am never wrong about these things.†I handed Mary our scrip as Deb leaned over the canvas covered table. “I’ll bet a dollar to donuts you kids are tryin’ to spoof us. You here with the rest of your families?â€Â
I looked around, whispered. “Actually, Deb, you’re right. We are brother and sister…But we have kind of a…†I trailed off.
“Kind of what?â€Â
I glanced at Julia, who was staring at me. I gave her a quick grin.
“We have a little secret.â€Â
“Oh! Really! What kind of…secret?â€Â
“Well…â€Â
Deb’s sweaty face flushed pink with the prospect of being let in on our big secret. I lowered my voice even more.
“Now, this is just between you and me, Okay?†She nodded gravely. I motioned her even closer, and then blurted in a loud enough for everyone around us to hear, “We’re also having a passionate, torrid affair.â€Â
Deb’s eyes popped open, horrified and scandalized. I took my plastic cup full of warm foam and held my finger up to my lips. “Shhhh…â€Â
I hooked my arm around Julia’s waist and whisked her off into the crowd. Leaving Deb behind, sputtering in indignation. “Well I never…â€Â
Julia covered her mouth with her hand. Her shoulders were shaking, trying hard not to laugh. I took a sip of my drink and licked away the foam mustache. Julia grinned up at me. “That wasn’t very nice.â€Â
A few steps into the crowd, I reluctantly let go of her waist. “Yeah, well. Nobody ever said I was a very nice guy.â€Â
We made our way to an empty, shaded picnic bench off in a corner of the tent, as far away from Deb as we could get. We sat and I helped Julia unpacked her bag. We pulled out a ton of food. Almost enough to feed almost everyone in the beer garden.
“I made sandwiches and potato salad.â€Â
“Wow.â€Â
Julia grinned and gave me a turkey and cheese sandwich wrapped in wax paper. I un-wrapped it and took a bite. Rolled my eyes back into my head and made a yummy sound.
“Mmm. That’s good.â€Â
She opened a small container of the salad and pushed it towards me. Handed me a white plastic spoon. “Here, try some of this.â€Â
I took a bite. Manic-depressive or not, the girl could cook. I know it was only potato salad, but it tasted like heaven. We ate in a companionable silence for few minutes. Just the sound of our chewing and my yummy sounds. I finished my sandwich and crumpled the wax paper into a ball, shot it into a wastebasket.
I cheered for myself. “Score!â€Â
Julia giggled, reached over and wiped my cheek with her paper napkin. She pulled away, looking sheepish.
“Thanks mom.†I said.
She pointed at my lip. “You…had some mustard, right there…†She wrinkled her nose. “Sorry.â€Â
“Hey, it’s okay. Mustard can leave a nasty stain.â€Â
“Mm.â€Â
“So…†Julia picked at the yellow blob on her napkin. “Have you ever…ever had a mad, passionate affair?â€Â
“What?â€Â
“You know,†she cocked her head Deb’s way.
“Oh, you mean a passionate, torrid affair,†I corrected her. Trying to gauge where this was going.
“Right. Sorry.â€Â
She stared at me, and kept nervously playing with the napkin.
I blinked first. “Seriously?â€Â
“Mm-hmm.â€Â
“You mean…while I’ve been with Diana?â€Â
“Well, yeah. Or…any at all, I guess.†She shrugged.
“Julia…why? Have you?â€Â
She glanced away, tore tiny shreds of paper that blew away. “No.â€Â
“You sure?â€Â
“Mm.†She nodded, glanced back at me. “But…â€Â
“But?â€Â
She cocked her head again, stared at her hands, then at me. “There was a guy who I thought…you know…that maybe I could’ve. If things had been…different.â€Â
My head was spinning. “Julia…â€Â
She pushed away from the table and started cleaning up. We’d been sitting for longer than I thought. The warm sunlight around us was slowly turning a dull gray and the air was cooling; the shadows growing longer in the grass around the edge of the tent’s rigging.
Julia threw away the garbage and strapped on her pack. Took a quick, sharp breath, and tried a smile. “C’mon, Cowboy. Let’s go have a ride on the Ferris wheel.â€Â
***
I stared up at the giant wheel spinning above my head. The sky was a deep shade of purple, and it was dark enough now that I couldn’t make out the people in the top seats, except for some tiny, dangling legs. Julia was buying more scrip for the rides.
“Oh. Shit,†I said.
“What?â€Â
I was getting dizzy just standing there. “Jule, I’m not so sure this is a good idea.â€Â
“You’re telling me that my big, strong Cowboy is afraid of heights?â€Â
All around us, kids were squealing, being spun and dipped and flung around in the dilapidated looking rides. Guys that looked like escaped mental patients and ex-dock workers ignored the cries, hawking cheesy prizes that were probably worth less than the price of a ticket to play whatever the game was. Creepy loud organ music blared from speakers mounted on wooden poles everywhere. Lights began flickering on. I could faintly hear a live band playing some twangy country song off in the distance.
“Uh, no. But…â€Â
“But what?â€Â
“Does this thing look safe to you? I mean…â€Â
She grabbed me by the hand and pulled me into line. I followed her reluctantly, but that warm tingle was back, sending vibrations from her fingertips down my arm and into my crotch. The line wasn’t long; Julia handed our Carny/ex-con two of the red tickets and whispered something to him that I didn’t catch.
He chomped on the stump of a cigar and grinned at me, then ushered us onto a thin wooden seat, leering down at Julia’s tits as she scooted by him. I was more than a little surprised he didn’t help Julia up with a hand on her ass. Instead, he simply watched us buckle in and then pushed a slim metal bar down in front of our waists until it locked. The paint on the wheel and the seats was dull white, trimmed with gold and red, and flaking off.
“Have a nice ride, boys and girls!†He smacked a lever, and we scooted backwards off the platform. A second later, and my feet were dangling into space. A cool breeze blew the smell of buttered popcorn and cow poop our way as we lifted into the air.
Julia leaned back and closed her eyes, content. The stupid seat rocked and tilted. The ground was already far enough away that I couldn’t jump for it without breaking something important. She seemed fine; I thought I was going to puke.
“Hey Cowboy,†Julia reached over and patted my leg. “You okay?â€Â
“Fine,†I said.
Her hand stayed on my thigh. “Sure?â€Â
I nodded tightly. “Yep.â€Â
She sighed and wiggled her butt. The stupid seat wiggled and creaked. “You know, I had my first kiss at a fair.â€Â
“Really?â€Â
“Mm-hmm.†She snuggled up and leaned her head on my shoulder. “On a Ferris wheel.â€Â
That peculiar burning sensation flooded through me again. “Oh…well. Huh.â€Â
Julia smiled and snuggled even closer, pushed her hand down between my legs. She gave the inside of my thigh a gentle squeeze, and I felt her breast press softly against my arm. We reached the apex of our climb, and the fairgrounds spread out underneath us, lit up and sparkling like a jewel in the twilight.
The mechanism controlling the wheel suddenly bucked and clanked and groaned, and the wheel stopped turning, with our little carriage rocking right at the top. I think I saw Julia hide a grin.
“Well, look at that,†she whispered in my ear. “Maybe we’re stuck.â€Â
“You’re kidding, right.â€Â
She laughed and unbuckled her safety belt. Her hand slowly moved up the inside of my thigh. I jumped. The damn seat rocked violently until I settled down. Her hand stopped moving.
Now it was resting on my crotch.
I opened my mouth to ask what the hell she was doing, to tell her to put her safety belt back on, that she could fall and get smooshed, or whatever. And then she jumped me.
***
It took me a second to realize her tongue was already in my mouth. She’d pushed hard against me, one arm wrapped around my neck and her hand playing with my hair while she kissed me; all the while gently rubbing my crotch with her other hand.
My mouth felt like it was on fire.
And my crotch…
I was awkwardly pinned against the thin wooden slats that were the side of our carriage. She’d practically crawled right into my lap. The hand that was insistently massaging my cock stopped for a second and fumbled around until it found mine. She pressed my hand hard against her belly and slowly pushed it upwards, guiding it to her breast.
Her shirt came un-tucked. I touched warm, smooth flesh and heard a low, animal growl come from deep in Julia’s throat. My hand finally began to move on its own and found her breast, cupped in a sheer lace bra. Her nipple poked into my palm, and I gave it a gentle squeeze.
“Oh, God…†She pulled away from me, panting, and went to work on my zipper. “I’ve been wanting to do this to you forever…â€Â
I didn’t fight her. Julia’s hands reached into my shorts and pulled me out. She stroked me until I was nice and hard, smiling a mischievous little smile. Her eyes were wide and luminous in the dark.
“W-what…?
She bent and kissed the tip of my cock, poking well up past my belly button. “I was just thinking…you don’t have to worry about the horse’s dick.â€Â
She slipped the head of my cock into her silky, wet mouth, and I almost screamed. The carriage did a little jig as she slowly took me in, wiggling her body even closer to me, slurping greedily. She paused with her lips halfway down my shaft, tickling me with her tongue, and then eased down on me, letting me slip the rest of the way into her mouth, deep into her throat. She pulled back slowly and pushed her fingertips down into my shorts; lightly stroked my balls with her fingernails.
The carriage squeaked as she worked me. I tried to relax, but the tension from knowing I was maybe just a loose, rusty bolt away from death wouldn’t let me.
Still, it barely took a minute before my orgasm boiled up and over. I could’ve sworn I shot a garden-hose full of come into her mouth. I thought she was going to suck me inside out, and my balls kept on pumping. Energizer balls.
Eventually, I slumped back onto the wood slats, drained. Julia sat up, braced her hands on my chest and tilted her head back. She swallowed hard a couple times, licked her lips, and then laughed and collapsed against my chest.
“Shit, Julia,†I groaned.
“Did you like that, Cowboy?â€Â
“Ah, fuck. Yeah.â€Â
She relaxed, snuggled close. Put a hand on my chest. “So…I guess we finally cheated.â€Â
I nodded slowly. “I guess so.â€Â
She toyed with my shrinking cock. The Ferris wheel’s motor clanked and we lurched forward. I was too wiped to care. Julia tucked me back into my underwear and tried to zip me up one-handed. It wasn’t working.
“Why don’t we just leave everything like this,†She giggled. “I like it.â€Â
I laughed with her. She tilted her head up.
“You remember that morning when I…â€Â
“Walked in on me?â€Â
“Mm. In your dining room.â€Â
I felt my face flush. “Yep.â€Â
“God.†She kissed the soft spot under my chin. “I wanted you so bad that day.â€Â
Her blouse was open, rustling in the breeze, and her t-shirt was stuck up over her tits. I pulled it back into place. The wheel stopped again, with a crunch of gears. Below us, the Carnie/ex-con was letting people off.ÂÂ
“Uh, really?â€Â
Sometimes I amaze myself with how stupid I can be. Julia hooked one of her legs over mine. I felt the warmth in her crotch burn into the top of my thigh. The carriage rocked us gently.
“I emailed you all my fantasies of you bending me over your table, and you taking me from behind. Remember?â€Â
I nodded. Diana had read those emails.
Julia looked up at me again. Put a cool hand on my flushed cheek. I wondered how it could have felt so hot before, but now so sweet. “I liked sending you those.â€Â
My tongue felt swollen, stuck to the roof of my mouth. “I liked them too.â€Â
“You know, I used to sneak into the bathroom after Greg went to bed and play with myself; thinking about you reading my stories.â€Â
Oh, I said. Huh. Suddenly my entire vocabulary had reduced into a series of primeval, one-syllable grunts.
The wheel groaned again, and we lowered a few more feet before coming to another bouncing stop.
“Do you think Diana figured it out?â€Â
“I don’t know. Maybe. At least, she came pretty close. She teased me a lot about this trip.â€Â
“She did?â€Â
“Oh, yeah.â€Â
“I don’t think Greg has any idea.â€Â
Gears shifted. We dropped again, getting closer to the crowd waiting in line below. I shifted and adjusted my junk so I could zip up. Julia sat up straight and slipped back into her safety belt. She held my hand as we spiraled the rest of the way down.
***
The Carny/ex-con was still chewing the stubby cigar butt when we jerked to a final stop. He popped the bar off our laps and let us out. He gave me a wink when I passed.
“Come on, boys and girls! Nothing to be afraid of here! Just good, clean fun on the Ferris wheel…!â€Â
***
We meandered around for a while longer, clinging together. The reality of the blow job Julia had given me was already fading like an old memory, the only reminder a slight dampness in my shorts, and that lingering, tingling buzz that had settled in my gut.
She led me out of the maze of tents and stalls, towards the amphitheater, and the loud country twang emanating from within. Streams of guys in cowboy hats and their dates filed towards the gates. Julia tugged on my arm.
“Let’s go in!â€Â
“You like country music?†I wondered.
She shook her head. “Hate it. I just don’t want to leave yet. And this way I can call home and have an excuse for being late.â€Â
“Oh. Okay.â€Â
Another forty or fifty bucks later, we were inside, leaning against a tent post and sharing a beer. A few beers and a lot of bad songs about cheating wives, broke-down trucks and runaway dogs later, Julia was pressed into me with her arms wrapped tight around my neck. She wiggled her ass in time to the music, digging it into my crotch; and damn it if my little friend didn’t just perk right up again. I don’t know how long we spent like that, but the band was coming out for its encore when we stumbled back out into the deserted night.
We headed towards the parking lot, along with a few other stragglers. The cleanup crew was out, sweeping up junk, replacing the trash bags in the garbage containers. I was so light-headed I could barely walk, but I knew I wasn’t drunk.
Halfway down an ill-lit path, Julia swerved and pulled me into a tent that had been closed down for the night. We snuck through an opening in the flap and found ourselves right where we’d watched the horse auction earlier that afternoon.
She came to me in a rush. My blood was already pounding, and this time I kissed her back hard, crushing her soft lips with mine. We kissed and eventually came up for air; our hands moving and squeezing and probing; until her nimble fingers found my zipper and unbuttoned my shorts. They fell in a heap on the ground. Our packs followed, and I yanked open her blouse, popping buttons, and practically tore off her t-shirt, giving me my first good view of her lacy white bra. In the feeble light, I could just make out the dark, circular outlines of her nipples through the sheer silk. I ran my hands over her breasts lightly, gently caressing, marveling at how heavy and full they were.
Her nipples pricked my palms, and I bent slightly and bit down, tasting her through the silk lace, feeling the rubbery tip of her nipple harden in my teeth.
Julia was gasping, tugging at the hem of my t-shirt. I raised my arms over my head, heard her sigh as she pulled it up and off. She pushed me away and pulled my underpants down in a rush. I sprang out, my dick already hard and throbbing. She quickly unbuttoned her shorts and let them fall, then turned away from me and bent over, pulling her lacy panties down to her ankles. She kicked them away, spread her legs and offered herself to me.
I looked down on her mindlessly, like an animal in heat. My cock was twitching, aching and red, engorged with blood. It pulled me toward her, like it was alive.
Julia reached around and grabbed me. Guided me to her most private spot. I groaned as the head of my cock brushed her soft, blonde thatch of pubic hair and slipped easily past her pussy lips. She grabbed hold of the wood railing to brace herself, and I pushed hard with my hips. She was burning so hot that entering her was almost painful; but she was also deliciously, slippery wet, and it seemed that her body sucked me inside her.
I shoved until I was completely buried; then I bent and rested on her back so I could run my hands freely over her entire body. I reached up, snapped her bra apart where the cups met and let her breasts hang free. I reached a hand down between her legs and found her pussy lips, spread them apart and fingered her sharp little clit. She moaned and jerked at my probing fingers.
I nuzzled her neck and whispered roughly into her ear: “Now it’s your turn.â€Â
Julia was already gasping small, quiet cries; her hips were jerking and her legs were beginning to tremble. I reached around her belly and caught a heavy breast in my free hand, and then I held on for dear life.
***
We emerged from the tent not long after, dazed and rumpled and satisfied. Julia clung to me, her head on my shoulder and arm around my waist, her hip bumping into mine as we walked. We made our way to the main concourse and joined a small knot of people being ushered out by the event security staff. The parking lot was practically empty. When we got back to the car, it was well past midnight.
“It’s late.†She said. “Think we should call home and then go find a hotel?â€Â
I grinned. “Sure.â€Â
“Here.†She tossed me her keys. “I’ll call, you drive.â€Â
“You okay?â€Â
“My legs are…a little wobbly.â€Â
I grinned some more. I unlocked the Land Rover and we piled in. Julia found her cell phone and called home. Woke up Greg and told him our plan. She turned her face slightly away from me and lowered her voice to a murmur. Rested her forehead on the window. Spoke softly for a bit, and then she wished him good night.
I did the same thing with Diana, more or less. Then I stuck the key in the ignition, started the ‘Rover and followed the last of the cars out of the lot.
***
I woke up early the next morning, naked, sprawled out on a damp mattress in a cheap hotel room. The old alarm clock on the nightstand next to me said it was just after six a.m. Julia was lying in the crook of my arm with the rumpled bed sheet tangled in her legs, breathing softly through her open mouth. Our clothes were scattered around the room, on tables, chairs – mostly on the floor. The air-conditioning was off and the room was already getting warm.
I eased my arm out from under her head, felt the pins and needles as my circulation slowly returned. I grimaced and rubbed the pain away. Julia mumbled something and scooted into the warm spot on my side. She rolled over and latched onto my pillow, dragged it under her chin and got comfy again. I watched her for a moment, admiring her lush, muscular curves, the sharply defined tan lines around her hips and over her breasts.
The pungent smell of our sex hung in the air like a fog.
Something Swan had said a long time ago popped into my head: Always get the proof, or no one will ever believe you. I stood and rooted in my pack until I found my cell phone. I turned on the camera feature and snapped a few rather intimate pictures, photos that I’m sure neither Diana or Greg would have approved of. I typed out a text message, attached the best of the pictures, and messaged the whole bundle to Swan. He messaged back while I was sitting on the john. Wrote:  Damn! Get that girl to sign a voucher and film something! We can use this shit!  - S
Julia was still asleep. I deleted the photos and the message, then took a quick shower to wash away the previous days’ sweaty funk and dried spunk. I dressed in my clean change of clothes, grabbed the key card and ran downstairs to a twenty-four hour deli. The fat, bald guy planted on a stool behind the counter was more interested in the rancid hot dog he was stuffing his face with than the security monitor. I guess there wasn’t anybody in this bathroom worth looking at.
I bought some fresh fruit, pastries, and a couple cold bottles of water, and ran back to our room. I tossed the key card on the small table by the window.
While I was gone, Julia had pulled the sheet up around her chest and was lying curled up on her side. I jumped on the bed and kissed her bare shoulder, worked my way up her neck to her earlobe, nibbled gently. She moaned, rolled over and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.
“Hi,†I said, and kissed her, lightly working my way around the hollow of her neck. She tilted her head and purred.
“Morning,†she mumbled.
“Breakfast?â€Â
“Mmmnn.†She smiled and let the sheet fall to her waist. “Not yet…â€Â
She reached out for me, pulling at my clothes. I threw the sheet out of our way and forgot about breakfast.
***
Our trip together ended Saturday, right about noon, when Julia eased the Land Rover to a stop at the curb back in front of my house. A sprinkler was on, swirling rainbows of water onto our lawn. Diana’s Subaru was parked in our driveway, the engine ticking.
We sat in the car for a bit with the windows cracked, quiet, letting the breeze cool us. Eventually Julia sighed.
“I guess I shouldn’t ask for a goodbye kiss,†she said, eyeing the cooling Subaru.
“Might not be the best idea.â€Â
The front door opened. Diana stepped onto the porch and waved. I smiled. Julia smiled. We were all waving. Uncomfortably. It seemed like we’d been gone for months, instead of only a day.
My arm was already bored with the waving. “Time to go.â€Â
I grabbed my pack and slipped out of the ‘Rover, felt grass crush under my feet. A few of my neighbors were out in the sunshine, tending to their already perfect lawns for the first time that spring. The growl of lawnmowers and the sweet smell of cut grass permeated the air.
I shut the car door and took a deep breath, thinking that this was how the country should’ve smelled like...
Then I sneezed. Diana and Julia both laughed, and knew I was home.
***
Well. There you have it. The entire, uncensored story.
That was the last time I saw Julia for several weeks. We both got busy with the usual life type stuff. Swan and I got a sweet offer to make a film from someone we’d bits and pieces of work for. A real movie – not a bad porno or cheesy television commercial or cable thing, but a real motion picture, produced with real Hollywood money, shot on location in Los Angeles.
And instead of getting that dog her kids wanted, Julia missed her period. We weren’t able to spend much time together, after that.
Now Swan and I are living in L.A. full time. The movie is in the can, and now we’re in the editing process, working to finish for a spring release. Diana and I broke it off a few months ago. The stress and anxiety of trying to keep a long distance relationship going made the situation impossible, and she was settled back home, just didn’t want to make the move.
So here I am, a little more than nine months later, single for the first time in years, albeit finally gainfully employed, at least for the time being. Sitting at the kitchen table in our shared apartment in Venice, eating a quick lunch and checking out an email that Julia just sent me.
Looking at pictures of her bouncing new baby boy.
Julia says that everyone thinks the baby looks just like her. Maybe so. It sure doesn’t look anything like Greg.
Julia’s folks bought a sailboat and moved to Marina Del Ray not too long ago. In her email she says that she’s making plans to come and visit them with the baby, and she was wondering if it would be okay if she dropped by for a couple days while she was here…
Well.
I haven’t answered her yet.
Now, this didn’t seem to work real well the last time I tried it. But why don’t we put this to a vote? Let me know what you think I should do, folks; if I should ask her to come, or not. And maybe we’ll talk some more, later.
Early morning light snakes through a clear sky above a run-down apartment complex. A man kicks a child’s bicycle out of the sidewalk as he manhandles a pair of large cardboard boxes up a cracked cement walk to one of the apartment doors, huffing with the effort. The owner of the bike, a scrawny, ten-year old black boy sitting across the road on a trash-strewn stoop and eating cold cereal out of a crumpled yellow box, yells at him.
"Hey, motherfucker! That’s my bike. Leave it alone!"

n mutters an oath. The boy jumps up, causing his baggy jeans to slide even further down around his skinny shanks.
"What? What’d you say, you spic motherfucker? Speak American, dammit!"
I should break your scrawny neck, boy.
"Ye-ah. That’s what I thought. Keep on walkin’. Pussy."
The man grunts, ignoring the child’s prattle. There was a time when he acted much the same way, and if the boy wasn’t so annoying, his bravado might almost be amusing.
"Hey!" The boy peers at the boxes, curious. "What’choo got there, man? Huh?"
Exasperating child. Go home.
A puff of steam escapes the man’s lips into the chill air. He compresses his lips into a tight, pale line, getting control of himself. He awkwardly balances the boxes on a raised knee and gropes for the heavy key ring that jangles from his belt. The man lists from side to side and bounces on the ball of his foot, struggling to keep his balance.
The boxes stay put, and he unlocks the door and kicks it open.
"Hey! You spic fuck! I asked you a question! Hey! Hey!"
The man tumbles inside and sets the boxes on the floor, then quickly shuts the flimsy wood door and locks the deadbolt, blocking out the boys’ vulgarity. He wipes his hands and stretches, then walks through the tiny, one-bedroom apartment and pulls down the window blinds before he switches on the kitchen light.
A spark shoots from the bare light bulb that dangles from the ceiling. The man squints as the light flickers and slowly illuminates the meager room. He rubs his stubby fingers over a thick, black mustache and the bristly stubble covering his chin and neck.
When his eyes adjust to the dim light, he unclips a folding knife from his belt and cuts through the packing tape. He puts away the knife, opens the flaps of the larger box, and digs around until he finds a small instruction manual.
The man pulls out the contents of each box and organizes the equipment on a cheap Formica dining table, setting up a desktop computer as he reads the manual. He disconnects a cheap phone and an answering machine and plugs a cord into the modem slot on the back of the computer. The man grins and shrugs out of his faded green fatigue jacket, and carefully places it on the back of a rickety old dinette chair. He takes a black plastic shopping bag from the counter, sets it next to him on the table, and sits down on the edge of the chair, pulling a ream of white printer paper from the bag. He inserts a bit into the top of a new printer, and watches the monitor screen, tapping his foot expectantly on the peeling vinyl floor, and waits.
Dark. No power.
The little man frowns and checks the manual again. He matches the diagrams in the manual to the buttons on each machine and pokes the on/off buttons for the hard drive and the monitor.
Nothing.
Puzzled, the man flips through the manual again, then stands and peers around in the boxes. He smacks his forehead with the palm of his hand and swears.
He pulls out two bundled power cords that were hidden away in the packing material. He plugs them into an electrical outlet on the baseboard, next to the phone line.
He pushes the power button again and his lined face breaks into a smile as the hard drive whines and rattles. The computer blinks on, booting up. The smile grows and he turns on the printer, then reaches behind him and takes several folded pieces of yellow legal paper from his jacket pocket. He smoothes them out on the table and moves the mouse around on its pad, getting a feel for it. He pulls a diskette from the bag, locates the drive it fits into, and clicks on one of the little pictures on the screen. He jumps a bit, then smiles happily as the modem blasts to life.
The man follows the directions written on the paper, pecking carefully away at the keyboard, and sets up an anonymous email account. When he finishes, he rubs his moist palms off on his pant legs and pulls a rumpled porno magazine from the bag, a locally published magazine that he’d purchased at a strip club the night before. He chews on his lip and flips to the back, searching the advertisements and ignoring the lewd pictures of the naked women and the naked men, until he finds the particular add he’s looking for.
The man grins again, reads more of his notes, and pecks away until a website appears in the monitor. He leans over the table and scans the magazine ad intently, comparing the print from the page to the picture the screen.
He mouths the words that are lushly scripted in black and gold against a field of satin pink.
Fantasies, Inc
A small framed photo sits on the counter next to him. The photo is a picture of a family of three, a father, a wife and a baby daughter, all smiling for the camera. Happy.
The man smiles sadly at the photo.
Soon, my brother. All will be made right.
He uses the mouse to click on the words, and the screen changes. He leans closer to the screen, reading.

Okay. Let’s begin
***
Sharon Chapman jumped in her leather chair when her cell phone rang, startled.
Oh, Jesus
Ten forty-five.
I completely lost track of time
She peered out her office window. A light frosting of snow had built up in the corners of the glass.
When did it start to snow
As she reached for her phone, she realized that she hadn’t heard the office phones ring at all that evening.
Strange.
She thought Michelle had told her that they’d been fixed. But then again, she might not have noticed the phone ring anyway. Sharon knew that she had a tendency to let herself get wrapped up in her work, to the point that she’d tune out everyone and everything around her. And she’d been pretty focused on this new client’s case since she’d come into the office that afternoon.
But hadn’t she signed for the bill before everybody left? She was vaguely aware that Debbie asked her to sign some sort of paperwork.
God. Now the memory starts to go, too
Sharon was still trying to remember if she’d signed a work order or what, when she picked up her phone, pushed the on button, and cleared her throat.
"Hello? This is Sharon."
"Mom?" said a tinny voice. "Is that you? It’s Amy."
"Sweetie?"
"Hi. Sorry to call this late."
Sharon thought her daughter sounded tired, but she didn’t say it. Instead, she slipped off her tiny, wire-rimmed bifocals, folded them neatly and set them on the papers she’d been reading. God, she hated those glasses. She knew they were necessary now; without them, she was pretty much blind as a bat. She hated turning fifty. Getting older completely pissed her off; it was a waste of her time.
Sharon leaned back in her chair, stretching. The soft leather creaked as she settled in. She pressed the phone back to her ear. "S’okay. How are you?"
"Good, Mom. Great." Pause. "You’re burning the midnight oil tonight."
A statement, not a question. Sharon nodded. "New client." Amy never failed to let her know when she thought Sharon was working too much. "This is a difficult one."
"Oh?"
"Domestic violence. There are kids involved. Anne and I are trying to work out a settlement. We’ve got a court date scheduled right after the holidays."
"Oh." Pause. "How is Ms. Laird?" Cold.
"Annie’s fine, too."
Amy was quiet a moment. Even after all these years, she still had a tough time talking about Sharon’s work, and their past. When Amy was three, Sharon’s ex-husband, Mike, had left them, running away to the sunny beaches of Rio with another woman who was barely out of diapers. He withdrew all the money from their bank account, leaving Sharon completely broke and in massive debt. She’d taken Mike to court, trying to get some help; alimony or child support.
Something - anything to help.
But he never paid a dime. Sharon quickly ran out of her meager savings, and she had no other family to turn to for help. For the next few years, she scrimped and saved, working two jobs, scratching and clawing to make a better life for her daughter.
There were hard times, and worse times.
But Sharon managed to put herself through law school, swearing that if she could make it, she would do whatever it took to help other women who were stuck in the same sort of ugly situations. It was in law school that Sharon met Anne Laird, who would later become her partner and closest friend.
In a particularly bad moment, Amy had made it clear that she didn’t care for Anne, or her relationship with Sharon.
Sharon tried to change the subject. "So, anyway. Enough of that. What are you up to? How’s Jenny?"
"Jenny’s great. She asks about you all the time." Pause. "Sorry I’m calling so late. I tried to call you earlier, but the phones were out of service forever."
Sharon looked at the framed pictures on her desk, of her daughter and her beautiful granddaughter, Jennifer. Without her glasses, they were all blurry. She thought she’d been able to see them okay yesterday.
God, this is frustrating..
"It’s all right, babe. No need to apologize. We’ve been having a little trouble with our phone lines."
What the hell
was wrong with them? Sharon had no idea. Must’ve been pretty bad for those guys to be here all day. Michelle probably had a coronary over the cost. The thought of Michelle made Sharon smile. How did we manage this office without her?
"Mom, look, I know this is kind of out of the blue, but I…uh, well, we were all wondering if you’d like to fly down for Christmas. Jenny hasn’t seen you in a while, and Jeff’s folks are going to be staying with us over the weekend. I thought maybe you’d want to come too…"
Amy sounded uncomfortable, like she was asking because she was supposed to. Sharon didn’t think they would really want her over for the holiday, much less have her stay for an entire three-day weekend. Well, except for Jenny. Certainly not Jeff.
They’d started off on a bad note when Amy introduced them on the night of their engagement party. Jeff had been drunkenly telling a horribly sexist joke, something about how many horny women it took to screw in a light bulb, when Sharon mentioned that she thought that men should be snipped and tied at puberty.
"I’d love to Sweetie, but this might not be the best time."
"Oh."
"I’ve got so much work right now…"
"But Jenny and I would really like for you to be here." Another short pause. "And Jeff wants you to come too."
Sharon tried not to snort at that last comment.
"Sweetie, your house is going to be packed full with Jeff’s parents staying there. I think…" Sharon rubbed at her eyes. "Listen. How about this: Jenny’s birthday’s in just a month. How about I come down then?"
"Really?" Amy sounded relieved.
"Sure. We can go do the theme parks."
Sharon smiled.
Jenny loved roller-coasters, and so did she. They reminded her of how life really worked: up one minute, down the next, then right back up again. Life was a series of highs and lows.
Sharon’s favorite picture of Jenny, one of the pictures she kept on her desk, was of Jenny and her mom that had been snapped during a roller coaster ride. The picture was taken as they went through a double loop-de-loop. Jenny was grinning like only a twelve year old can grin: a huge, ear-to-ear, this-is-the best thing ever kind of grin. Amy looked terrified.
"Uh, okay. Sounds…fun."
Maybe she wasn’t so relieved. Sharon chuckled.
They made small talk for a few more moments, and then Amy told Sharon that she should go home and get some sleep. Sharon wished her daughter a good night and told her to give Jenny a kiss and a hug for her, and they both hung up. The cell phone buzzed in Sharon’s hand, letting her know she had messages.
Wow. I must’ve been really out of it tonight. No idea I had other calls
She pressed the auto-dial and listened to the messages. A couple of the calls were about business, but could wait until next week, after the holidays. Jenny had called once and left a short, terse message. So had Annie, asking her to drop by for dinner if she felt like it. She said she was dying for a pizza, and she thought she’d be getting home about seven.
Slightly annoyed, Sharon half-listened while Annie droned on and on, like a tired mother tolerating a child. Inwardly, she winced at the pleading tone in Annie’s voice, and stared blankly at the work on her desk, distracted. Annie mumbled something Sharon didn’t catch, and asked Sharon to give her a call later.
Sharon looked at the clock again and turned off her phone.
Too late to call now
Afterwards, Sharon sat quietly and stared at the phone until she heard the soft chime that announced that someone was walking through the front door. A second later she heard a series of beeps, letting her know that the alarm system was being deactivated.
"Annie?" No answer. Sharon knew it probably wasn’t Annie; she never came to the office after work, unless it was an emergency. And she would never stop by without calling first, anyway. But, maybe… Sharon broke into a little smile. "Michelle? Is that you?
"Hallo?" answered a heavily accented voice from the foyer a moment later. "Who is it here?"
Sharon frowned for a second, slightly disappointed, but then shrugged. She slipped back on the high heels that she’d kicked off under her desk, and then stood and planted her fists in the small of her back, stretching until a series of loud pops ran along her spine. She stepped to her office door and pushed it open to find the custodian, Hector, at the alarm pad with his ever present bin of cleaning equipment.
"Hello, Hector," she said, and gave him a little friendly wave and a smile.
Hector jumped about a foot in the air, grabbed a mop handle and waved it in her direction. When he saw who it was, he grinned sheepishly.
"Ahh. Miz Chapman." He cleared his throat and put down the mop. "You scared me, a little." He waved at the alarm pad. "The lights were on, but the…the alarm, it was turned on, too. I din’ know if an’one was still here."
Sharon smiled at him and pulled her long, tan cashmere overcoat from the coat rack.
"I’m sorry Hector. I didn’t mean to startle you. Debbie armed the door when she left, so no one could sneak in."
"Oh. Ho-kay."
Sharon buttoned her coat and wrapped a light silk scarf around her neck. Annie had given her the scarf as a Christmas present a few years ago. Not much for the snow, but the weather forecast that morning had been for sunny skies with a warming trend, highs in the low 50’s. Sharon had dressed for her daily tennis match and brought a light business suit and a skirt to change into, after. She wondered how the hell she was going to manage to get to her car wearing her heels if there was snow or ice on the ground.
"I was just finishing up Hector. Everybody else has gone home for the night."
"Staying late again, heh?"
"You know me."
"Ehh, you say you always there for…for your people." Hector smiled at her. His English was getting much better.
"Yes. Exactly."
Sharon nodded at his grin and went back to her desk to shut off her laptop. She packed the computer away in her briefcase and tidied up; then locked her desk drawers and stepped out of the office with her briefcase in hand. She said good night to Hector, who was busy emptying the trash cans and filling them with new plastic bags. Sharon pulled on a pair of soft, brown leather gloves, and then searched her purse for her car keys.
"Hector, I’ll get out of your way. You’ll reset the alarm?" He nodded. "See you next week."
"’Night, Miz Chapman."
Sharon gave him another smile, and walked outside into the cold.
***
The snow was just starting to stick, the wet pavement was still relatively free of ice, and the air felt brisk and clean. Even so, Sharon stepped carefully around a few ice-crusted puddles so she wouldn’t slip and beeped the remote key pad to her new Beamer. The door locks ka-chunked and the car alarm de-activated from yards away. She stepped around a big, white utility van.
Hector must be doing pretty well for himself,
The van’s engine was still ticking, and steam evaporated from the hood. Sharon passed through a curtain of steam, then opened her car door and tossed her briefcase onto the passenger seat, pausing with her door open for a moment to enjoy the crisp winter air after being cooped up in her office for so long. She closed her eyes and let the snowflakes fall on her face. She looked up at the sky. The thick clouds were bright in the night sky, lit from behind by the moon, puffy like wispy balls of cotton.
Sharon stuck out her tongue, feeling like a child again. She giggled happily, like when she was a child making angels in the snow with her father. The snowflakes drifted into her open mouth, melted on her tongue.
She opened wide, and said, "Aaaahh."
Sharon looked back at her office. So much work, trying to help others.
She sighed, thinking of Amy and Jenny, and wondered where she’d gone wrong raising Amy. After all the crap the two of them had gone through together, how had Amy become exactly the kind of meek, abused woman Sharon had made her life’s work to try to help?
In Sharon’s mind, at some point Amy had become a victim. She was timid and withdrawn, co-dependent and clinging desperately to a cheating, drunken sham of a man who blatantly detested her. At least Jenny had spunk, thank God; she had a zest for life that Amy had never been able to muster. Sharon fervently hoped that Jenny could keep that spark safe so it could bloom and grow, and that life or her family wouldn’t pound it from her.
And me?
Sharon reminded herself again that this is what she’d wanted, all the effort spent, the sacrifice, the sweat and tears. This was her life, not just her work. She and Anne had found the offices years ago, right after they’d passed the bar exams. They had both been working for a large downtown law firm, and were both miserable. Anne found the office when she’d taken a business lunch with a client, a dentist who was retiring. The building was way out in the ‘burbs, in a low-income side of town, as far from the ritzy downtown firms as they could get.
It was perfect.
That afternoon, Anne had returned from lunch, breathless and talking a mile-a-minute. Sharon remembered grinning like a fool; charmed by Anne’s exuberance. They made an appointment and went back to see the building that night, right after they got off work. They’d bought the property the next week. The dentist gave them a great price and let them rent to own the property, otherwise they never could’ve afforded to buy it. As soon as the ink dried on the contract, the dentist high-tailed off to Florida with his wife and Sharon and Anne moved in and began the tedious business of cleaning up, taking care of most of the renovations and repairs themselves to save money.
They’d been there ever since.
Over the years they’d added a few employees here and there: Debbie Jones, their receptionist, who had been one of their first clients, Hector Aria, who had been with them now for the last several years and who took care of all the general building maintenance. And finally, Michelle, their sharp new junior partner, who had joined the firm only a year or so ago, right out of law school.
Sharon smiled again thinking of Michelle, and actually blushed as a warm, smoky wetness spread between her legs.
Then her stomach growled. She looked down, patted it, and said, "Guess the snow might not be quite enough, huh?" Another series of growls. Insistent.
Must be remembering Anne’s request for a pizza dinner
Growl
Laughing to herself, Sharon snuck a last look up, then got in her car and pulled out of the parking lot. She never noticed the van as it started up, turned on its lights, and followed, slipping into traffic behind her.
***
Sharon turned on her radio. Soft jazz filled the car, and she hummed along with the tunes. She eased to a stop at a red light, then turned north and drove for about a mile. The snow patted her windshield, creating little patterns, and then the wipers would flick the flakes away. She bobbed her head in time to the music, humming away, careful of the slick streets when she merged with the few other cars that were out, braving the weather.
A few minutes later, Sharon pulled into the slushy parking lot of a big, twenty-four hour grocery store. The lot was almost deserted, due to the hour or the snow, Sharon wasn’t sure. She pulled past some construction equipment that was blocking the first few rows of parking spots, sighed, and parked as close to the doors as she could, just next to an old, rusting Toyota. She shut off the lights and the wipers, turned off the ignition, and took her keys and her purse and stepped out into the cold. She beeped the alarm, locking her car, and walked inside, past a couple having a heated argument in another language.
The couple marched straight to the Toyota as the store’s automatic sliding doors smacked closed behind Sharon. They continued their argument, shouting at each other over the hood of the car, until the woman took an apple out of a shopping bag and threw it at the man’s face. The apple caromed off his forehead and bounced under the car. The man glowered at her with cold eyes, but unlocked the car doors. They got in the car and roared out of the lot, fishtailing out into the road with a spray of slush, leaving a puff of exhaust in their wake.
The lot was quiet again, except for a muffled buzz from a flickering streetlamp, until the white van pulled in a few moments later and parked in the newly vacant spot.
The driver killed the engine and shut off the headlights, and waited.
***
Inside the store, Sharon grabbed a red plastic shopping basket and looped the handles over her arm. She started her shopping in the produce aisle and grabbed a crisp head of green lettuce, a red onion, a couple ripe tomatoes and a small cucumber. She found some delicious honey-mustard dressing that was bottled by a local restaurant, and took two jars. Then she went to the back of the store to the meat section, winding her way around a few tired-looking employees and boxes and boxes of merchandise waiting to be restocked. She didn’t notice any other customers, and the employees ignored her.
At the freezers, Sharon picked up a package of fresh chicken breasts, then hummed a little tune on her way back to the coolers and found some coffee ice cream. She completed her circuit at a small rack of wines. Sharon read the labels and selected a nice Red, changed her mind for something a bit less expensive, then changed her mind again and headed to the checkout stands.
Out of about twenty stands there was only one with its light on. A small cow-bell sat on the edge of the conveyor belt. A note attached to the bell read: For cashier, please ring the bell once. Be nice - thanks, Management. Sharon emptied her basket onto the conveyor belt, stored the empty basket under the counter, and rang the bell, just once.
A skinny Asian woman with lank, greasy hair and a bad complexion peered over a rack of cereal boxes and gave Sharon a sour look.
She picked at her scalp and shouted, "You ready?"
Sharon nodded. "Yes, thank you."
The woman took her time, moseying over and wiping her grubby hands on a stained green apron tied over blue jeans and a black polo shirt. She scratched her head with the tip of a dirty finger, flicking at the top of her scalp. Dandruff drifted out of her hair onto her shirt, blending in with a light dusting already clinging to her shoulders. A white nametag pinned to her apron read, Hi. My name is Vang. Vang had a button pinned just below the nametag: This WGL store is proudly employee owned. A big smiley face wrapped completely around the slogan, letting everyone know that Vang was indeed, happy to own her own little part of WGL.
Sharon smiled and opened her purse. "Can I have paper instead of plastic?"
"You bag yourself."
Sharon blinked. She cocked her head and said, "Um. Excuse me?"
Vang glared at Sharon like she was and idiot and pointed down to a bunch of shopping bags at the end of the belts.
"You bag yourself," she repeated.
Vang stepped behind the cash register and typed an access code into the ten-key pad, then flipped the small, swinging flap that separated two conveyor belts. She started to swipe the items under the scanner, one-by-one, beep-beep-beep, and shoved them all onto the conveyor belt on her other side. The belt engaged and scooted everything down to the end of the aisle.
"Oh. Okay." I get it now. I get to bag everything myself. Swift on the uptake there, lawyer-girl. Sharon took out her wallet, slipped out her credit card and waited for the woman to finish.
Beep-beep-beep.
Vang hit the total button on the register, put her hands on her hips. "Thirty-one dollars and ninety-seven cents."
"Okay." Sharon tried to swipe her card in the little machine hooked to the lip of the counter, but Vang shook her head.
"No, no, no. We don’t take no credit cards."
Sharon shook her head, confused. "What?" She pointed to the machine. "But this…"
Vang shook her head again. "That for the food stamp card. They don’ make the paper stamp anymore; they put the money on a card that look like that." She gestured at Sharon’s credit card and pointed to a large sign hung on the wall by the exit. "Credit company charge us lots of money to use, so the grocery too expensive. Cash or check only. No card."
Sharon couldn’t help rolling her eyes, but she put away her card and opened her wallet. Vang picked at her head and glared at Sharon suspiciously; as if a woman dressed nicely in a skirt and high heels (who’d already waited in line and rang a damn cowbell for help!) might suddenly freak out, grab the bottle of wine and make a run for it out into the ice and snow. Sharon pulled out a twenty dollar bill and a five, then dug around deep in her purse and a found a few crumpled singles and exactly ninety-seven cents in change buried at the bottom. She forked the money over.
Once the cash was in her hands, Vang dropped most of the coins and had to scrounge around on the floor. When she finally stood up again she counted the money twice before she grunted, opened her till drawer and handed Sharon her receipt.
"You five cents short, but I find later."
"Thanks," Sharon said, but Vang had already disappeared, no doubt anxious to sprinkle more of her dandruff all over the cereal boxes.
Sharon shook her head and quickly bagged her groceries, using paper instead of plastic. She slung her purse over her shoulder and hoisted the bag, then walked to the wide glass doors. They swooped open for her. A freezing gust of wind swirled her coat-tails around her calves. Sharon’s eyes watered and she blinked as the bitter cold settled over her like a frozen blanket.
Great
The wind peppered Sharon with icy chunks of snow. She slipped on a slick spot on the pavement, turned her ankle, and fell on her ass.
"Whouff!" Sharon sat in the middle of the parking strip for a second, with her legs stuck out straight in front of her. She started laughing. "Shit."
Somehow, she’d managed to not drop her bag. Sharon set it down and carefully picked herself and brushed the snow off her butt. She bent over and retrieved her bag of food and trudged around the construction equipment to her car. Sharon hurried around a big white van that blocked the path to her car, her teeth chattering a mile-a-minute. She balanced her groceries on her knee while she searched her bottomless purse for her car keys. They weren’t there. Sharon swore under her breath, patted her coat, and found the keys in a pocket. She grumbled at herself and beeped the alarm.
"Thank God for automatic locks," she mumbled.
Sharon opened the trunk and put away her groceries. She shut the trunk and her foot slid out from under her, banging her shin painfully on the bumper. She swore.
"Owww…Dang it!"
That’s when someone grabbed her by the shoulder and said, "Hey lady? S’cuze me?"
Sharon jumped, dropping her purse. She turned and slipped again, catching herself on the hood of her car. Stupid heels. She wondered if she’d forgotten something inside the store. "Wh-what?"
A man stood in front of her, bundled up in a heavy parka, a furry hood pulled up over his head. Sharon couldn’t see his face. He didn’t look like an employee.
"Sorry, lady. Didn’t mean ta scare ya like that."
The guy just stood there with his hands up, empty, except for what looked like a three-by-five index card. Sharon tried to collect herself, thought of the mace in her purse. She wondered if she could reach it. She caught the purse strap with the heel of her shoe and inched the bag closer. The man didn’t move.
"What do you want?"
Sharon reached down slowly, watching him, and felt for the purse. She found the strap, picked up the purse, and started backing towards her car door, when he looked at the card in his hand, and asked:
"You Sharon Chapman?"
That stopped her. She looked at him quizzically.
"Yes? How…how do you know my name?"
He stepped closer. "And you live at five-oh-one-two Cherry Lane?"
"Yes, I… How…how do you know where I live? Who are you?"
"Oh, we know a lot about you. We know you have a daughter named Amy Cole who lives in California with her daughter, Jenny, who’s just about to turn thirteen. You don’t want to see them hurt, do you?"
Oh, God
"Stop. Please. I’ve got mace."
The man stopped. "Oh, yeah?"
"Who the hell are you?"
Sharon pulled out the canister and pointed it.
The man laughed.
Lipstick
"Shit!"
Sharon dropped the lipstick and fumbled with her purse. The man took another step closer. He laughed again, a low rumble. Sharon shivered, not just from the cold.
"What do you want? How do you know about my family?"
"You’ve got a secret admirer."
"What?"
"Welcome to his fantasy, bitch."
The man laughed again and reached for her as Sharon’s groping fingers finally wrapped around the mace. She yanked it out of the bag and dropped her purse, and had the nozzle halfway up when another man, huge and shaped like a mountain, stepped out of the passenger side of the van and wrapped a heavy, muscled arm around her shoulders.
"Gotcha, bitch."
Sharon let out a pitiful squeak as a dirty rag smashed over her face. A cloying, sweet smell filled her nose and her lungs as she took a breath, trying to scream for help, and then the world spun around her. Her vision blurred.
Sharon blinked back tears and thought, the snow’s in my eyes. I can’t see. I’m being kidnapped, and I can’t see. Please, someone help me.
The mace fell from her nerveless fingers and bounced under the van. Sharon was vaguely aware of the sound of a heavy door sliding open. She heard someone say, "Get her purse and the mace. Take the car back to her house and dump it there. Wipe it down before you leave."
"Right."
"Do it right. You screw this shit up and you’re a dead motherfucker."
"Okey-dokie."
Silence. Sharon’s head began to swim. She was focused on the hand clamped around her mouth, the rag covering her nose. She remembered an old movie she’d seen once, where someone was kidnapped.
Chloroform
She kicked and tried to bite the hand covering her face, but just got another lungful of fumes for her trouble. More dark shapes - people? - gathered around her. Little bright spots started popping in front of her eyes. She heard the jangle of keys.
"Fuck, man. Don’t need to look at me like that. I got it."
"I’m serious. Do the shit right."
"I said, I got it, dude. No problem-o."
"Then move it before somebody sees us."
"Nobody gonna see us with all this snow." Another voice, grumbling.
"I said, move it, motherfucker! You fuck this up and I’ll kill you myself."
A car door slammed. Sharon heard an engine start, and felt the hot exhaust on her legs as her car was driven away.
Sharon panicked. She couldn’t breathe. She squirmed and twisted, frantically clawing and biting at the hand clamped around her mouth. The man holding her just squeezed her tighter, keeping her locked in place like she was a child. Vaguely, as she drifted on the edge of consciousness, Sharon realized someone was laughing; a deep, awful laugh.
"Fucking asswipe." The arms around her shifted again, and Sharon was turned around. "Help me get this coat off her."
Sharon’s arms were yanked out in front of her, and someone pulled at her sleeves.
"What about the gloves?"
She was shifted again, and the coat was ripped from her back. Sharon felt the cold bite into her body, enveloping her like a living thing.
They took my coat
. I want my coat back. It was expensive.
"Leave ‘em on ‘till we can tie her up. I don’t want her scratching me."
"Heh. Not yet, anyway, huh?" Grunt. "There. Got it. You want us to just drop it?"
"Toss it in the front seat. She won’t need it no more."
"Cool."
Through the haze of the chloroform, Sharon felt strong hands groping her. She tried to struggle, kicking feebly, but she was too weak to break free. Someone pulled at her skirt until it ripped up the back. A hand slid between her thighs and a finger poked at her crotch through the material of her nylons and panties, tearing a hole through, pulling and tearing at the material until her crotch was bare. Someone tore open her blouse and squeezed her breasts, painfully tweaking her nipples through her bra.
"You better be filming this shit. This is what he’s payin’ for."
"We’re on."
Oh God…
Sharon tried to scream, but only heard a weak, muffled groan escape her lips. She felt the man holding her getting excited, his cock digging into her ass. His breath was warm on her neck.
A low whistle. "Damn. She’s not bad for an old bitch, ain’t she?"
Sharon mumbled through the rag, "Mmmgrmph."
"Nice legs."
"Nice big titties, too." Pinch, pinch. "Holy crap!"
"Huh? S’matter?"
"These titties are real!Thought they’d be fakes, they so firm an’ perky."
"Hell, she got nice everything, man. ‘Specially for an old bitch." More hands roamed over her body. "Shit, I think I just came in my shorts."
The men around Sharon laughed, and the Mountain rubbed his crotch up against Sharon’s ass. It felt like he had a thick steel pole in his pants.
"The profile said she runs and plays tennis almost every morning. Athletic."
Profile? That struck a chord. They’ve been watching me.
Someone continued to play with her breasts, squeezing her tits like they were kneading bread.
Help me, please…
"Stop it man. Shit. You’ll have plenty o’ those big old white bitch titties soon enough. Ya’ll ready for this?"
"Hell yes."
"Let’s get the show on the road."
Sharon was lifted up. She felt like she was floating.
Please, someone, help me
Sharon was pulled into the van. She felt the van list to the side as another person got in, then another, and another. Someone rolled the door shut, pounded the wall of the van and yelled "Drive!" A muffled voice shouted a reply. The engine rumbled when it turned over, and Sharon started to cry as they pulled out of the parking lot. Her eyes burned and the hot tears begin to roll down her cheeks.
"Aww, look. She’s cryin’."
A dark face swum in front of her blurry eyes, wearing a black ski mask. The man in the parka. Maybe. Sharon couldn’t tell.
"Crying?" The Mountain whispered in her ear. He taunted her. "We gonna give you a lot more to cry ‘bout tonight, bitch. Bet on that."
The big hand clamped on her mouth finally let go. Sharon heard a zipper open, and The Mountain sat down, pulling her roughly onto his lap. He was so big, her head rolled on his chest. She blinked back tears and squirmed in his lap until she felt a huge, warm cock wedged under her ass, throbbing.
"P-please, don’t do this. Please let me go."
"Time to give her the pills."
"Got ‘em right here."
The van was freezing. Sharon took a huge breath, trying to calm herself, and let it out slowly; a fine, foggy mist. She took a mental inventory. Her head was pounding and the world around her was blurry and spinning. She felt slightly nauseous. Sharon tried to focus, thought that she might throw up. She glanced around, trying to figure out who had taken her, what their plan was.
"Please…what do you want from me?"
A chorus of laughter.
Sharon looked around, squinting to see in the gloom. The van was easily large enough for the men to stand up straight. Including the man holding her, she counted five…maybe six or seven more? She couldn’t tell. Two of them held compact video cameras pointed right at her, on and recording.
The interior of the van was grimy and smelled like vomit and stale cigar smoke. The small light mounted on the roof of the cab barely provided enough light to see. Thick rubber padding had been placed on all the walls and over the doors and ceiling. The floor was carpeted and covered with old cigarette burns. A long seat with torn vinyl covering stretched along the back wall. Strong metal bars spaced at even levels along the walls from the floor to the roof spanned the circumference of the van.
"Hold her arms and spread her legs," said the Mountain.
Two of the men grabbed Sharon by wrists and slapped handcuffs on her, locking them tight enough that she cried out. They locked the free ends of the cuffs to the piping, and then they grabbed her ankles and pulled until she was sitting spread-eagled in the Mountain’s lap.
"I…I can give you money. I don’t have a lot, but…"
"No cash?" Snort. "Saw the nice, new Beamer you was drivin’, bitch. And the new Jag your partner just bought? Damn if that didn’t set her back a fair chunk. Didn’t you hear me tell you we know all ‘bout you? We’ve seen your bank accounts. We know what kinda investments you got; everythin’. Don’t tell me you got no money."
"Please!" Sharon heard the whine in her voice, and felt ashamed. "I don’t…"
Someone slapped her, rocking her head back and to the side. She tasted blood. The men laughed, and another blurry, masked face joined the crowd in front of her. The man pried apart Sharon’s mouth, and her eyes popped open with fear as they stepped closer.
"Gggrhagggrrrmmmnn!"
Sharon kicked and struggled as the parka man stuffed two light blue pills down her throat. He smashed her mouth shut, keeping her jaw locked tight and pinched her nose closed. He massaged her throat until Sharon choked and swallowed.
"Damn, bitch. Cut it out. Shit ain’t gonna hurt you."
The Mountain held her firmly as she futily kicked and twisted and thrashed. Fresh tears spilled down her face and snot ran down her nose as the men finally stepped back.
"Wh-what were those?" Sharon croaked. She tried to look over her shoulder at the Mountain. He smiled wickedly down at her through a panty-hose mask.
"Somethin’ to help make your night more…fun."
"Unnngh." A moan came from the front of the van.
"Sounds like your friends are finally waking up."
"My friends…" Sharon stared at the vague shapes covered with an old blanket, lying on the floor of the van. One of the men yanked the blanket away, and stepped back so she could see.
"Oh, my God." She gasped.
"Hand me that lube, yo’."
The mountain wrapped his hands around Sharon’s waist and lifted her up, shifting his hips underneath her. She felt his cock slip down along the crack of her ass.
"Hold her a sec."
Strong hands held Sharon suspended above the seat, her arms and legs spread wide. She heard the wet sound of liquid being squirted from a tube, and then slurping, like lotion being rubbed on someone’s hands.
"All right. I got her."
The Mountain wrapped slick hands around her waist again, staining her white, silk blouse.
"Let’s party."
The thick tip of his cock wedged between her butt cheeks. Sharon screamed and tried to fight, kicking and jerking. She bled as the handcuffs bit into her wrists, scraping the soft flesh from her arms. The men held her ankles tight as she screamed and thrashed around. The Mountain squeezed her waist, holding her hips securely in place, digging his powerful fingers into her belly until she could barely breathe.
"Get her feet up off the floor."
Sharon’s legs were pulled straight out and spread wide, exposing her pink cunt through the gaping hole in her torn nylons and panties. The men who weren’t holding her were quickly stripping off their clothes. They kept their masks on. The man who had been wearing the parka climbed up onto the seat next to Sharon, grabbed her by the hair and bent her head back. He shoved a small metal ring into her mouth and wedged it behind her teeth, propping her mouth wide open. He held her head bent towards him while he began to masturbate, rubbing his cock on her face, over her lips. Another man pushed between her trembling legs, his heavy, purple cock dangling almost halfway down his thighs. He ripped away the remains of her skirt, grabbed the bottle of lubricant and oiled up. Underneath her, the Mountain shifted his hips, pushing the tip of his penis further up into her asshole.
"The other bitches are waking up."
The Mountain laughed. "Good. Fuck them, too, and tape it all."
Sharon screamed again as he dropped her, when his huge dick punched into her clenched sphincter. Her screams were cut short as the other men took their cues, forcing their cocks into her open mouth and her unprotected pussy. Then the drugs kicked in, and it was all she could do to breathe as the men pummeled her body. Sharon barely noticed a new set of screams as the other men fell on the women lying on the floor of the truck.
***
Anne Laird’s day started badly, with a phone call from Michelle at the office at seven a.m. "I’m sleeping, goddamnit." she grumbled.
"Sorry to wake you, Anne, but we’ve got a problem with the phones and the computers again. I can’t reach Sharon, at home or on her cell. She’s probably at the fucking tennis courts. Can you come down here?"
"Shit." She curled deeper into her covers. "Just call someone and have it fixed."
"I already have somebody here, but I don’t know anything about this ancient, crappy phone system you two had installed. The repair guy needs to talk to one of you; and neither Debbie or I are authorized to sign off for the bill, anyway."
"Oh crap." Anne rolled over and rubbed her eyes. "Some partner."
Michelle laughed. "Your rules, not mine." She paused. "Anne, right now we can’t take any calls, and the computers won’t even boot up. It’s important, or I wouldn’t have called."
"I know. I know." Yawn. "Well, I’m up now. Let me grab a quick shower, and I’ll be there in half-an-hour. Can you get them started, at least? Show them where everything is?"
"Sure."
Anne rubbed her forehead, thinking. "You know what?"
"What’s that?"
"Remember, a while back, Sharon and I had some problems with our laptops, and you fixed them for us? Sharon told me that her phones at home were acting up, making weird sounds when she’d get calls. Mine have been weird now and then, too."
Anne paused, working up to her question, wondering if she was going to sound like the dumb, middle-aged, techno-ignorant bimbo she really was. Michelle was a whiz with all this electronic stuff. It was one of the reasons Sharon had hired her; on top of her outstanding school transcripts, a great interview and a few well-placed job references.
Anne and Sharon had brought Michelle into their little family for some new blood; to help kick-start the office, and drag the firm along into the new millennium. Anne didn’t know squat about computers; she could barely turn hers on. But she really didn’t want Michelle to know that.
Anne hated to admit it, but the woman intimidated her. She seemed to be able to do just about anything she put her mind to. At just shy of thirty, Michelle was already a better attorney than Anne could ever hope to be. Anne knew it, and she knew Michelle knew it too. Sometimes she wondered if Sharon noticed too. She hoped not, but lately Sharon had been so impatient and short-tempered around her, when she wasn’t just ignoring her…
"Do you think we’ve got a virus in the computer system, or something like that?"
"Um." Michelle paused. Anne heard a muffled male voice, and a rattling on the other end. "Anne, excuse me."
More muffled conversation, like Michelle had put her hand over the phone. In her mind, Anne pictured Michelle laughing at her, along with the receptionist, Debbie, and the repair guys. But when she came back on the line, her voice was calm.
"Sorry, the guy had a question." Michelle cleared her throat and said, "I don’t see how. I mean, maybe, maybe there’s a virus in the computers, but that shouldn’t affect the phones. Not at your houses, at least. Besides, that was months ago."
"Oh. Okay. Just a thought. But they’re hooked up together at the office, right?"
Silence. Anne could almost hear Michelle frowning over the phone. "Huh. Yeah. You’re right. I’ll ask the guy about it."
"Good. Be there in a bit." Wow. Maybe she wasn’t so dumb after all. Score one for the old broad. Anne almost broke the connection, but then, "Hey, Michelle?"
"Huh?"
"How are you talking to me if the phones are down?"
"Um, I’m on my cell, Anne." This time there was no mistaking the laughter. "Go get some coffee on your way in. You sound a little groggy."
"Oh. Right. Called on your cell phone. Sure."
Shit
How the hell did you ever get out of law school?
She shivered and looked at her warm, rumpled covers with a kind of wistful longing that she didn’t even feel for sex or chocolate. She sighed.
"Later." She patted the mattress. "I’ll be back, and we can snuggle later. Okay?"
No one answered. The norm, as of late.
Why aren’t you here with me, Sharon? What did I do?
Anne stood and stretched, her old joints popping, and peeled off her silk nightie. She dropped the black nightgown onto the bed, sighed again, and padded naked into the bathroom to take a shower.
***
Exactly forty minutes and a hot mocha later, Anne pulled into the parking lot of their office building. She parked next to a large utility van that she figured belonged to the phone guys, grabbed her purse and locked her car. Anne looked at the sky, frowning. The guy on the radio said it was supposed to be sunny out and warming up. But it was getting colder, and overcast.
"Should have worn a suit." Anne mumbled. She sipped her mocha as she breezed into the office lobby, her light skirt twirling around her thighs.
"Hey everybody." Anne gave everyone her best, aren’t-you-impressed-by-me smile. The one that dazzled in court. "Everything fixed yet?"
Debbie was half-sitting, half-leaning on the edge of her desk, with her legs crossed and her hands folded demurely over her knee, twirling her shoe in a slow circle with the tips of her toes. Her tight pleated skirt was hiked up high enough to give a good view of the inside of her thighs, and her filmy white blouse was unbuttoned to the top of her bra, showing off her ample cleavage.
She was busy flirting with a cute young black guy in jeans and a sweatshirt, with a heavy tool belt slung around his hips. The guy was scribbling notes on a clipboard and sneaking glances down Debbie’s blouse.
Shameless hussy
Debbie winked, and Anne grinned at her boss as she stepped behind the desk. Another guy was hidden under Debbie’s desk, with his ass up in the air and his pants creeping down past his hairy butt-crack, mumbling something about the Goddamn phone cords. Michelle stepped out of Sharon’s office, beautiful and regal and perfect as always.
How does she do it?
Anne groaned inwardly. Not even a quarter to eight in the morning, and she looks like she just walked off the set of some photo shoot for hot, sexy young lawyers.
Michelle was followed by another, huge black man carrying another clipboard tucked under his armpit. A patch sewn on his work shirt read Malcolm. He tapped a pen on the side of the clipboard, and had to duck his head to get under the door frame. It sounded like they were discussing the computers.
Ever the good receptionist, Debbie cleared her throat and stated the obvious.
"Hey Michelle? Annie’s here."
"Oh. Finally." Michelle gestured for her. "Anne, this is going to take a while." She waved at the man with the clipboard, who walked over. "Guys, this is Anne Laird, one of the senior partners."
The big, big man smiled down at Anne.
"Mrs. Laird." He checked his clipboard then tucked it under his arm, taking the other clipboard from the man who’d been flirting with Debbie. "We’re gonna have to shut down all the equipment for a bit and run some diagnostics on your phone systems. We’ll get to the computers afterwards. Miss Roberts and Miss Jensen informed me that you can take care of most of your business today using your cell phones. Is that right?"
"Oh, um, Miss Laird, please." Anne’s smile faded. "Is it really going to take that long?"
"We’ll be as fast as we can." He shrugged. "But it takes as long as it takes. You know?"
"I suppose so."
"Cool." He handed her the pair of clipboards. "Sign here and here for me, and we’ll get started. We’ll need your signature again when we finish, too."
"Oh. Okay." Anne took his pen and signed where he pointed. "I’ve got a meeting at three this afternoon and I won’t be back in the office until Tuesday. What if you don’t finish by then?"
"I guess we can get your partner to sign for the bill."
"All right." Anna turned to Michelle. "Did you get in touch with Sharon, then? Will she be in?"
"Mm-hmm," Michelle nodded. "She was at the club, like always. She had her phone in her locker; she called back a little while ago. She’s meeting a new client this morning, but she’ll be in by one or so."
"Okay." Anne flashed the smile again and handed back the clipboard. "Well. I guess I’ll go get ready for my meeting. Let us know if you need anything."
"You got it. Can you show me where your phone lines enter the building?"
Anne and Michelle exchanged glances. Anne shrugged. She had no idea. "Right this way." Michelle said, and took the repairmen back into the storage room.
***
At noon, Michelle knocked on Anne’s office door. She was carrying a huge bouquet of flowers and a tiny pink envelope.
"Anne? These came for you."
She gave Anne a shit-eating grin and put the flowers on her desk. Anne stared at them.
"Omigosh! Who…" She looked at Michelle. "Who are they from?"
"I don’t know. Debbie just went to lunch, so I signed for them." Michelle passed her the card. "You tell me."
Flowers? For me? Anne took the envelope with shaking hands. She slit the seal open with her fingernail and pulled out a small, plain card. Anne dropped the envelope in her trashcan and opened the card. She broke into a wide, silly grin.
"What?" Michelle looked like she wanted to pop. "What does it say?"
Anne handed her the card. It was blank on the outside, but there were words printed under the fold: You have a secret admirer. Welcome to the fantasy.Michelle read the card and grinned at Anne.
"A secret admirer? You little devil, you." Then she turned it over and read it again. Michelle scowled. "What does welcome to the fantasy mean?"
"No idea." Anne shrugged and sniffed the flowers. They were beautiful.
Michelle handed her back the card and put her hands on her hips. "So?"
Anne grinned at her. "So what?"
Michelle nodded at the flowers. "Who is it?"
Sharon. A warm burst of joy flowered in Anne’s chest. My Sharon sent me flowers. But she replied, "No idea."
"Oh, c’mon Anne. Real guys don’t just send flowers out of the blue. That only happens in cheesy movies. Give it up. Who are you seeing, that you haven’t told any of us about?"
Anne blushed. "Nobody. Really. This is a huge surprise."
"Yeah. Sure it is. Come on, Annie. You can tell me."
"Seriously. Nobody."
Michelle studied her. "Ahh. I know. You wouldn’t be going to see this secret admirer at a ‘meeting’ this afternoon, would you?" Michelle made quotation marks in the air with her fingers when she said meeting.
Anne laughed. "Well, now that you’ve figured it out…yeah. I’ll fess up. You’re right. Little old Mr. Rodriguez is really my secret love."
"Yuck it up, babe."
Michelle grinned and stepped out into the hall, then turned on her heel and peeked back through the door.
"But I’ll be watching you like a hawk."
Michelle waggled her finger at Anne, and left. Anne took a long stemmed rose from the vase and sat down in her chair, grinning like a fool. She tickled her nose with the soft, red petals, enjoying the sweet fragrance of the flower.
My secret admirer. Sharon, you silly thing. Anne hummed a silly little tune under her breath. My secret admirer. Welcome to the fan-ta-see.Anne brushed the flower back and forth under her chin, crossed her legs and leaned back in the chair. On her desk, all the phone lines blinked on once, then went out completely. Lost in her own little fantasy, Anne never noticed.
***
A bit after two, Anne realized she’d been daydreaming for way to long, put the flowers on top of her file cabinet and decided to get back to work. Her meeting with the Rodriguez family was in about an hour, and she hadn’t prepped at all.
Dammit, Annie. Get a grip. You’re acting like you’re a kid.
She pried herself back to reality, packed up her notes and locked her briefcase. She looked at her computer, then remembered that the repair guys had everything turned off. They’d left for lunch an hour ago, and were still gone.
Figures.
Anne picked up her flowers and the briefcase, and turned off the office lights. Sharon still hadn’t come in yet. Debbie was sitting at her desk, busy reading a woman’s magazine. On the cover, an attractive, fifty-ish woman, happy and barefoot and dressed in a turtleneck and rolled up khaki pants, cavorted alone on the beach. Good thing it’s been a slow day. Debbie smiled at the flowers and put down the magazine.
"Nice to see you’re earning your keep."
Debbie snorted. "Look at you, Lover Girl." She gave Anne the once-over. "You, swishin’ into the office in your little skirt, workin’ your bad self. I saw you smile at that little boy I was flirting with this morning." She sighed theatrically. "You hot, rich older women catch all the guys."
"Rii-ght. That’s me. Next, I’ll be posing for a girlie magazine."
"Jeez. Don’t let Sharon catch you saying that."
"Sharon the Man Hater, I know," giggled Anne. "It’s all an act."
"Annie, If she was any tighter, she’d pop."
"Seriously, Deb. You know Sharon would be the first one of us to rip off her clothes if some hunk asked her out."
"You think she wears baggy boxes under her business suits?" Debbie asked. They both laughed. Debbie wiped her eyes. "I’m not very nice, am I?"
"Evil as all get-out. Makes me wonder what the two of you say about me when I’m not around." Anne leaned further over the desk and lowered her voice. "And by the way, I did notice you flirting with that boy this morning."
Debbie made a ‘fsst’ sound. "I was not."
"Hon, you were showing so much cleavage, you were ready to pop out of that blouse." Anne grinned. "He was sweating so much, I’m surprised you didn’t need an umbrella."
Debbie blushed. "He was awfully cute."
"Mm-hmm," Anne agreed. "If he comes back, are you gonna sneak into the back room with him?"
"Annie! I wouldn’t!" Debbie faked a shocked look, then giggled. "Not during business hours, anyway."
They both laughed again, then Anne asked, "Hey, is Michelle gone for the afternoon?"
"I don’t think so, but she said she was going to run some errands."
"Are the repair guys coming back?"
"They said so."
"Will you make sure Sharon knows about all that’s going on, and that they need her to sign the invoice?"
"Sure."
"Okay." Anne smiled again and glanced up at the clock on the wall. "Well, I’ve got to go. Have a good holiday, Deb."
"You too, Annie. Thanks again for the card and the bonus."
"Anytime. See you in a week."
Annie picked up her stuff again. The young phone guy opened the door just as she was starting to leave. Debbie turned a bright shade of red, and grinned.
"Careful in the back room." She smiled at the man, then to Debbie, whispered, "Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do."
***
Debbie watched Annie walk out to her car. Annie gave the young hottie that big, toothy, thousand-megawatt smile of hers as she breezed past, and then Debbie watched him stare at Annie’s ass swooshing while he held the door for her. She gritted her teeth.
Damn tan, skinny, fake-boob, face-lifted bitch. Debbie undid another button on her blouse. Beat this, Annie, she thought, and tried her own smile.
"Hey," he said, buckling his tool belt back on.
"Hey yourself." Debbie leaned to her side, trying to look past him. "Where is everybody."
"Huh? Oh. They had, uh, another call. An emergency. I guess they thought I could handle everything here okay myself."
"I bet you can."
Debbie wiggled in her chair, bunching her boobs together. The guy smiled at her and walked right by her into the backroom. Debbie watched him go, open-mouthed. He’d just ignored her best shot. Annie’s voice came back to her. Are you going to sneak into the back room with him?
"Oh, hell."
Debbie stood and stepped quietly to the door. She peered through the front window and checked the parking lot. All clear except for the service van.
Annie, I wouldn’t! Not during business hours, anyway.
"Oh, hell. Something for the memoirs." Debbie took a deep breath, crossed herself, and stepped into the back.
***
The kid was holding what looked like a big, orange toy phone to his ear. He was at the phone box, poking at wires. The room was cold. Debbie grabbed a heavy porcelain coffee mug from the dish rack and poured herself a stiff cup of black coffee. She turned and lounged against the counter, watching him and sipping her drink. He finished with the toy phone and hung it back on his belt.
"Would you like a cup?" She offered.
"Coffee?"
Debbie nodded, and he shook his head.
"Oh, no. Thanks." He gave her a toothy grin. "I’ve got enough mocha on my outside without putting any more inside. If you know what I’m sayin’."
Debbie smiled. He went back to his box. She shuffled her feet, wondering what to say now.
"I, uh, I noticed you looking at my boss when she left."
The guy blinked at her. "She’s fine." He shrugged. "For an older bitch. Just couldn’t help m’self. You know?"
Debbie gasped. "You just called my boss a bitch!"
The kid shrugged and grinned sheepishly. "Well, y’know. Sorry."
He turned away, embarrassed, and the room grew quiet again. Debbie cleared her throat.
"You were staring at her butt." Oh, gawd. Did she just really say that?
The guy blinked again, but smiled.
"Yeah, well. She got a nice one. Not too big or round, you know, but juicy. Looked damn fine in that little skirt she was wearin’." He gave Debbie a weird look. "She got some perky titties and some nice legs on her, too."
"Really?" Debbie was dumbfounded. She was talking to this stranger about her boss’s ass. "You think so?"
"Yeah. Well, you know. Really, she’s kinda skinny for my taste." He waggled his eyebrows at Debbie and moved his gaze slowly over her body. "I like an ass that if you slap it, it’ll slap you right back. You know what I’m sayin’? Like yours."
Debbie gaped at him, her mouth in a wide ‘O’. "Like…mine?"
He smiled and stepped close enough that Debbie had to crane her neck back to see his face.
"Yeah." He took the mug out of her hands and set it on the counter, then put his hands on her hips. "Like yours."
"Oh." She said. Her whole body started to tingle when he touched her. "Oh. Okay."
They stood like that for a second, and then he cupped her ass and pulled her close to him. Debbie pressed her hands on his chest. She was having trouble breathing, and she felt a little dizzy.
"Um," she said, and he kissed her, gently pushing his tongue into her mouth. He tasted like mint. Debbie’s eyes shot open and she almost pushed him away.
Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do
Debbie heard a low growl come from deep within her throat. She threw her arms around his neck and began sucking desperately on his tongue. He pulled her closer, and she felt his cock dig into her belly. His hands squeezed her ass, then came up and pulled open her blouse, popping buttons all the way down to her waist. He grabbed her breasts and squeezed them hard. Debbie backed up a bit, breathless, her chest heaving.
"Hey, we shouldn’t…"
"Shouldn’t what?"
"You…you know."
"No. What?"
Debbie didn’t know what to do. He had her pinned her up against the counter. Her skirt had rucked up around her thighs, and he’d pushed his hips between her slightly spread legs.
She was already wet.
"Baby, you been eyin’ me all day, bunchin’ your titties together, showin’ off your nice undies an’ shit. You know what I want right now?"
Debbie bit her lip and shook her head.
"Somethin’ creamy an’ wet, baby."
"I…I don’t even know your name. I…"
"I’m Willy." Willy pointed down at his crotch. "And this here is little Willy."
Debbie looked down, and stared at the huge bulge poking out of his pants.
"Oh." She said.
Willy followed her gaze, and smiled. "You like that? Here." He took her hand and guided it down, made her cup him. "Take it out, if you want to meet it. Go on."
She grinned weakly. "It’s, uh, not so little, is it?"
He put his hands on Debbie’s shoulders and pushed her down, until she was kneeling with her head level with his crotch. "Go on girl, it won’t bite ya."
She took a deep, long breath, and let it out with a whoosh. Oh God, she whispered to herself, and unzipped his pants. She licked her lips, then reached in and pulled him out.
"Oh. My."
Debbie held his penis in her hands and stared. It was enormous. She’d seen a horse’s cock once, when she was little. That was the only comparison she could make with the chunk of meat throbbing in her hand. ‘Little Willy’ was thick as her wrist, and easily as long as her forearm. It was a dark brown, with a pink underside were it had been circumcised.
"Oh, yeah, baby. Little Willy likes you old white ladies just fine." He cupped the back of her head. "Go on, girl. Give him a kiss." Willy laughed. "You do, he’ll love you forever."
Debbie swallowed hard. She looked up. Willy smiled down at her, stroking her hair.
Oh God. What am I doing?
Debbie squeezed her eyes shut, and opened her mouth wide.
"Oh, fuck yeah."
Willy pushed with his hips. The head of his cock slipped into her mouth, filling it completely. It was hot and pulsing, and she licked it. Willy used her ears as handles and pulled her face closer. Debbie gagged as he slid further in, pushing himself down her throat. Her jaw cracked loudly, and then Willy was talking to her.
"That’s a good white bitch. Suck the big, black, donkey dick. That’s right, baby." He worked himself slowly into her mouth, in-and-out, in-and-out. Ropes of spit oozed out of her mouth and dripped down her chin as he fucked her face. "Oh, yeah. You like it like that, baby? You like suckin’ that big, black cock?"
Debbie felt herself getting hot. Willy pushed himself all the way into her mouth and held her face against his pubes. She couldn’t breathe. He used her ears and wiggled her face against him. Debbie’s hands shoved at his hips, but he held her tightly in place.
"Oh, fuck. That’s what I’m talkin’ about. Hell, yes."
"Mmm-mmm-mmm!" Debbie started to jerk, trying to get air, and he eased up for a second, then started pumping her face, hard and fast. His balls smacked into her chin as he fucked her. "MMM-MMM-MMM!"
"C’mon bitch. I wanna see you play with yourself while I fuck your face." Slap-slap-slap. "Do it. Rub that pink fucking pussy. C’mon."
Debbie groped for the hem of her skirt, and pulled it up around her waist. She slipped her hand under the waistband of her pantyhose and into her panties, past her thatch of pubic hair, and found her pussy.
Slap-slap-slap. "Shove those fingers in your snatch, bitch."
Debbie did what she was told, first one finger, then two, then three. She shoved them inside herself in time with his thrusts.
"AwwHooo." Willy stopped suddenly, and pulled out of her mouth with a jerk. "Awright. Time to cum in the white bitch’s pussy."
Debbie was gasping for air. Willy picked Debbie up easily and bent her over the counter, pushing her head into the sink. He shoved her skirt back up over her ass, then unbuckled his belt and let his pants fall to the floor. He grabbed a handful of Debbie’s nylons and panties, and ripped. She was getting scared.
"Oh shit, please...Willy, be careful…"
"Shut the hell up." He spanked her ass, leaving a red, hand-shaped mark on her butt-cheek. He smacked his dick on her butt, stuck the tip between her legs, and wiggled his hips in a circle until the head of his dick lodged in her pussy.
"Willy, please…"
"Here we go, bitch, ready or not!"
Willy rammed his cock into her as hard as he could, all the way in, smacking her ass with his belly as he pierced her; like a hot, thick needle punching into her cunt.
Debbie screamed.
And then she came.
Just like that.
Willy bent over her and wrapped his arms around her. His hands cupped her breasts and squeezed her nipples through her bra. He pulled her blouse open all the way down to her waist and yanked on her hair while he fucked her. Her legs turned weak and wobbly. Debbie thought the only thing keeping her up was his dick shoved a foot deep in her cunt. He never stopped talking while he fucked her.
"That’s a good, tight snatch, white bitch."
"I’m gonna spooge right into your old pussy."
"After this, I’m fittin’ ta bust a nut in your fat ass, too, ya old bitch."
Debbie came again. Willy pulled out and forced himself into her ass, whispering awful, nasty things to her the whole time. He fingered her pussy and her clit.
Debbie screamed again as he punched into her rectum.
"Move, Goddammit!"
He smacked her butt, pushing and pulling her by ass, making her work. Debbie moaned and ground her rear end against him in a slow circle. Her ass muscles began to relax, letting him slip further inside.
"That’s right baby."
Smack.
"Uh. Right there."
Smack
"Harder. C’mon, bitch. Faster."
Smack
And she came. Again.
And again.
It took Willy almost another half hour to ‘bust his nut.’
By then, he had Debbie on the floor with her face buried into the carpet, begging for him to cum inside her. He was grinding his dick painfully around in her ass, and when he finally came, he squeezed her breasts until they hurt. He let out a loud groan, jerked a few times, and then shoved her roughly off his cock and fell back against the counter.
They stayed like that, breathing hard, until they heard the office door open, and Sharon’s voice.
"Hello? Anyone here?"
Panic
Sharon was already heading down the hall to her office. She barely glanced over at Debbie. "That sounds fantastic. Will you bring me a cup?"
"Uh, sure. Okay, I...Eee-oowp!"
Debbie jumped. Willy was grinning up at her. He’d inched over to her and slid his hand back up her skirt. She smacked his hand away and whispered, "Knock it off!"
Sharon looked back from her door. "What?"
Debbie smiled. "Hmn? Oh, nothing."
Sharon nodded and stepped into her office. Debbie started to shake. Willy played with his cock, still slick with her juice.
"Oh, God. That was close." She poured a cup of coffee into Sharon’s favorite mug. "Will you put that thing away? My God. My boss is here."
"Why?" Willy stood up and let his cock hang. "Heh-heh. Maybe she’ll want a bite outta little Willy, too. I got more’n enough dark meat to split between two horny old white ‘ho’s."
Debbie stared at him for a second, and then shook her head. She smoothed out her rumpled skirt and looked at herself in the mirror.
"Oh. Oh, no."
She was a mess. Debbie groaned and tried to fix her hair again, then gave up and let it hang down to her shoulders. Her skirt was skewed, pulled halfway around her hips, She’d buttoned her blouse wrong, and a large patch of the material was damp from her saliva.
"Oh, shit."
Debbie ran some cold water on a towel and frantically patted her red, sweaty face, then re-buttoned her blouse and gave herself another once-over.
Better
She looked at Willy, who had moved to a chair, lounging at the break table.
"Don’t forget to get her to okay the work." He flopped his dick at her. "Then why don’t you come back here for some sloppy seconds?"
"Don’t you know when to quit?" Exasperated.
"Don’t need no attitude from you, bitch. You don’t get her signature, I’ll just leave now."
Debbie rolled her eyes. "Oh, Jesus. Fine."
Debbie took the coffee and spun out of the room, grabbing the clipboard with all the paperwork as she stormed by her desk. She muttered to herself on the way down the hall, and found Sharon seated at her desk, scanning through a ream of legal documents.
Sharon had taken off her coat and hung it on the coat rack, and her purse was on the leather couch next to her desk. She’d turned on the heat in her office; hot air gushed into the room from the floor vents.
"Cold outside?"
Sharon didn’t answer. Debbie put on a smile, set the coffee on Sharon’s desk, and tried to ignore the warm air blowing up her skirt. The breeze tickled her crotch, making her uncomfortably wet. She wondered if Sharon could smell the sex on her.
"Sharon?"
"Mm?" Sharon didn’t look up.
"Uh, The service paperwork needs your signature."
Sharon nodded and uncapped a pen. Debbie handed her the clipboard. Sharon signed, handed it back, and never looked away from her work.
"Thanks."
"Mm."
"Okay, then. Enjoy the coffee. I’ll let you get back to work."
"Mm."
Debbie backed out of the room. She knew this Sharon mood. She must be working on a new hardship case. Debbie had a feeling that Sharon would sit at her desk until the sun came up, unless there was an earthquake or she needed to pee. She doubted that the coffee would even get touched.
She carried the clipboard back to the break room. Willy was still in the chair, talking on his big orange phone, and his dick was still hanging out of his pants.
"Hey, hold on a sec, man. The bitch is back."
Debbie stared at him.
"Thought you were gonna bring me some dessert."
She shook her head and marched over, tossing the clipboard onto the table. Willy looked at it, shuffled through the papers. He put the phone back to his ear, wiggled his eyebrows at Debbie, and gestured to his cock. She put her hands on her hips and glared at him. He grinned.
"Hey, ‘yo. Signed and delivered, man." He listened. "Yep." Debbie turned to go, but he grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her towards him. "Hey! We ain’t done yet."
"Oww."
Debbie tried to pull away, but Willy yanked her down to her knees and pulled her between his legs. His dick was already snaking up towards his belly.
"She’s right here. Yeah." He chuckled into the phone. "Yep. She sucks a mean dick, man." He put the phone on his shoulder and grabbed her by the hair again. "C’mon, bitch. I’m getting’ horny again. Open that sexy goddamn mouth and suck me off."
Debbie’s face turned a deep shade of red. He wants me to blow him while he’s talking about me to someone on the fucking phone.
"But, Sharon, my boss…" The tip of his dick hovered around at her lips, twitching. "She’s just in the other room. What…what if she comes in?"
"Shit. I said, if she wants some, there be plenty for her too." Willy cupped the back of her head with his free hand. "Now c’mon, bitch. I’m on the fuckin’ phone, and this shit’s important."
His penis twitched erect, and the tip of his cock brushed her face. Debbie wrapped her hands around the base of his cock and smiled. "My name’s Debbie."
"Yeah. Right. Debbie." He yanked her hair impatiently. "C’mon, Debbie."
Debbie swallowed him with a sigh, her pussy wet and waiting for him. When did I turn into such a slut? She wondered.
"About fuckin’ time. Shee-it."
Sharon never left her office, and didn’t bother them at all.
***
At half-past five, Debbie peeked back into Sharon’s office and cleared her throat.
"Hey. It’s closing time."
"Oh." Sharon looked at the clock, surprised, and leaned her chair back. "Okay. You go ahead. I’m going to stay late tonight. Lock up?"
"Sure. Anything else"
"Did everything get fixed okay?"
"Uh-huh. I guess so." Debbie grinned. "I’ve gotta go catch my bus. Drive careful on your way home. It’s supposed to get nasty tonight. It’s already really cold out."
"Okay. You have a good night."
"See you next week. Happy holidays."
Debbie left Sharon at her desk. She rubbed at her jaw as she walked back to the lobby. Her legs felt unsteady, and her crotch ached, but she was smiling like a fool. She couldn’t help it. Debbie put on her coat and grabbed her bag, then punched in her alarm code for the front doors, unlocked them and stepped outside. It was already dark out, and cold. Willy was there, smoking a tiny cigar and leaning against his work van. He grinned when he saw her.
"What are you still doing here?" She locked the doors behind her.
"Waitin’ for you."
"Jeez." Debbie dropped her keys in her bag. "Uh, look. Today was really…fun. But right now, I need to catch my bus." She shivered. "God. It’s freezing out here."
"Why don’t I give you a lift? I got the van right here, already warmed up and everything."
"Huh." Debbie crossed her arms and stared at him, tapping her toe on the pavement. A snowflake drifted past her nose, and she made her decision. "Oh. Fine."
"Don’t say thanks or nuthin’."
He held out his arm for her, and Debbie broke into a grin.
"Here, c’mon ‘round this side. We gotta get in through the sliding door."
"Okay.’
Debbie smiled at Willy as they walked around the van.
"So, did you mean all that stuff you talked while we, uh, y’know…"
"You mean, the ‘bitch’ this, and ‘bitch’ that, ‘suck my fucking dick you old cunt’, all that sorta stuff?"
"Yeah. Is that just…I don’t know…kinky for you?" She looked at the ground, and another snowflake plopped on the tip of her nose. "I mean, it sorta turned me on. Well, it really turned me on. But…"
Willy stopped and unlatched the van door. He slid the door open. "Yeah, bitch." His eyes had gone cold and hard. "I did." He blew a puff of smoke into her face. Debbie coughed, and waved the smoke away.
She froze. "What…?"
Three big men wearing masks were in the van, waiting. One of the men had a video camera. Willy grinned down at her. "I meant every goddamn fucking word."
Someone grabbed her from behind, and a huge, powerful hand clamped around her face and pressed a smelly rag hard over her mouth and nose. Debbie got a big whiff of chemicals, and her eyes watered and her head swam. She was picked up and shoved into the waiting arms of the masked men, who threw her onto the vans dirty floor.
"Have fun, bitch."
Willy slammed the door, muffling Debbie’s screams as the men began ripping off her clothes.
***
Anne’s meeting ran later than she expected, and when she was finally able to sneak out of the courthouse, snow had started to fall. Her stomach rumbled. For dinner, Anne had only been able to scarf a handful of potato chips that she’d bought from a vending machine, and now she was absolutely starving.
Food
Anne crossed the street at the light, then she jaywalked and cut diagonally through two lanes of backed-up traffic on the next street over to get to the parking structure where she’d left her car.
I’m breakin’ the law
Always the rebel. She dodged around a few more cars stuck in the rush hour sprawl, causing a more than a few angry drivers to honk their horns. One fat guy with a grubby baseball cap was moved enough to roll his window down and scream something really nasty about the female gender.
Sharon would’ve gone over to the truck and read the a-hole his rights.
Not Anne.
She sweetly flipped him off and took the elevator up to her car without a word. She shared the elevator with a bum who had passed out, snoring in a puddle of urine. A flood of vomit stained the front his t-shirt. Anne wasn’t all that sure that either the pee or the barf was his. Probably, but you never know. She wrinkled her nose at the smell, stared up at the floor numbers and ignored him, feeling guilty.
The smell followed her out of the elevator. When she got in her car, Anne opened all the windows as far as they’d go, turned the heater to fan and cranked it up high. She sat for a minute, then drove halfway home in the freezing cold before rolling the windows up. She could still smell the bum. Anne lifted her arm and sniffed the sleeve of her coat.
"Oh! Pee-heeuw! She made a face. "Gotta do my dry-cleaning." She rubbed her nose. The smell had absorbed into her clothes. "First thing Monday morning."
At home, Anne turned into the driveway she shared with her neighbors, the Laddingtons. The driveway split at the back of their houses and led to separate detached garages. A white van was parked in their side of the driveway, quiet.
Huh. That’s new.
She eased her car past the back corner of the van. It was a tight squeeze, and she tried to be extra careful not to scrape her side mirror. The security flood light mounted on the side of her house flared on, bathing her car in a bright yellow light. Anne used the light to find her remote and opened her garage door. She stuck the remote back in her console and drove into the garage, letting the door close automatically behind her.
Anne turned off the ignition, grabbed her keys, her briefcase and her bouquet, and let herself out of the garage through the side door. Across the driveway, the Laddingtons house was dark and empty, except for one light on in their living room.
Where did they go for Christmas this year?
Anne tried to remember as she unlocked her back door and let herself in. The Laddington’s had asked her to watch the house and feed their cats while they were gone, like always.
Was it
Anne flicked on the lights and stepped into her kitchen.
She carefully set the flowers down and dropped her briefcase on the counter. , she reminded herself to remind herself, and then immediately shrugged out of her coat, letting it drop in a pool on the floor. She sniffed her suit jacket and her blouse and squinched her nose at the sour smell that clung to her. She kicked off her shoes, and the rest of her outfit followed. Anne stood in her kitchen naked, shivering and wondering what to do next.
Gotta get these in some water
Dinner or shower? Hmm. Shower or Dinner?
Anne’s stomach growled, but the shower won out. No way could she eat if she still smelled like pee and puke. She turned the water in the shower on to hot and let it run, then she sat on the toilet and farted.
Anne giggled. Maybe that’s why you can’t get stay in a relationship, honey. You fart too much.
She wiped and flushed, then waited a second for the blast of cold water to pass through the pipes before she stepped into the shower. She turned the water as hot as it would go and let it blast down on her neck and shoulders, easing her cramped muscles.
Anne slowly relaxed and bathed, soaping and washing her hair twice. She even washed behind her ears.
For you mom
Anne rinsed and turned the water off, pulled a fresh, soft towel from the rack and patted herself dry, then wrapped her hair up in the towel. Her stomach growled again as she was brushing her teeth. She patted her belly and spit, talking to herself in the mirror.
"Right. Hold your horses."
She found her nightgown right on the bed where she’d left it. The bed was still empty. And now the sheets were cold, too.
She found that depressing.
Anne realized that she was upset. The flowers had been such a nice surprise that she hadn’t realized that she’d neither seen or spoken with Sharon all day long.
Dammit, she never called me back
At least she’d heard Sharon’s voice when she called to leave the message inviting her to dinner. She figured the flowers had been a sort of peace offering, Sharon’s way of apologizing after their last blowup. Annie was hoping she could return the sentiment.
Oh, Sharon. I’m so sorry. Please call.
Deep in her heart, Anne was sure that Sharon had turned to Michelle for comfort. She knew it instinctively; she felt the energy between them every day at the office.
It was killing her.
***
Hector unlocked the door to his dark apartment and pushed it open. He had spent the entire night washing the wall-to-wall carpeting in Sharon Chapman and Anne Laird’s office, and he was weary and ready for sleep. He kicked a small pile of mail that had been dropped through the mail slot, scattering bills and other junk across the threadbare carpet.
One package caught his eye, and his heart began hammering around in his chest. Hectors breath quickened, and he picked the package up. He ignored the rest of the mail. If this package was what he hoped, soon the bills and the squalor he lived in would no longer matter. Hector tossed his coat onto a chair and sat down at his table.
He was ready to finish this ugly business so he could finally return home. Hector missed his family, his real life; he hated this place, everything about it, and having to work like a slave.
Arturo.
His brother’s name echoed in his head like a litany. Hector had made a promise before he died, and he would not forsake his word.
Arturo
Hector picked up the little photo from the counter. The pain of his brother’s death was still fresh; like an old wound that wouldn’t stop bleeding. It had been almost three years since his brother’s murder.
Three years since he had come to America to punish Sharon Chapman and Ann Laird.
***
Michelle asserted herself immediately after Sharon and Anne had hired her on as a partner. Months ago, Michelle had urged Sharon to accept a new abuse case. Anne was sure Michelle only wanted to take on the client only because they were wealthy. It would be great for the firm, and it looked extremely profitable, she said.
For the firm
Anne poured herself a glass of wine. To help herself relax. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
Yeah. Sure. And if you believe that, I’ve got this bridge…
Anne had disagreed with the choice from the start. It was one of the very few times in their professional relationship that she and Sharon had been at odds with each other. Privately, they argued about it constantly, until finally, Sharon had stormed out of the house for good. Anne thought she’d moved back into her old place. Turned out that wasn’t the case. Michelle drove her to work the next day.
Things hadn’t been right between them since.
Sharon avoided Anne for months, playing tennis in the morning and scheduling her appointments early when Anne was in the office, then coming in to work during the afternoons when she knew Anne was in court. In the end, Anne had given in, but Sharon had already taken the client on.
Anne ground her teeth. Michelle. I think I hate her.
"Oh well." Anne brushed a wisp of hair out of her eyes. "There’s nothing that a nice glass of wine and a big bowl of ice cream won’t fix."
Anne unwound the towel from her damp hair and laid it over the back of the chair at her dressing table, and began to brush out her hair. She was just slipping on the nightgown when her doorbell rang.
"Who the hell could that be?"
She glanced at her alarm clock. Eight-thirty. Not too late. Maybe Sharon had left the office and snuck over with some pizza. Anne thought that sounded divine. They could split the rest of the wine and share the ice cream.
The doorbell rang again.
"Coming!" She shouted, excited now. "I’ll be right there!"
Visions of warm, cheesy pizza and gooey, melted chocolate dripping over vanilla bean ice cream filled her head. Anne was so thrilled, so sure it was Sharon that she didn’t bother to check the peephole in her door; she just threw the door open, leaned out, and then blinked in surprise at the man standing on her porch.
"Oh! What…what are you doing here?
A sharp gust of wind blew the hem of her light silk nightgown, making it billow up around her thighs. Her nipples puckered and poked out from under the thin material.
The man leered at her.
"Y’know, you should really lock your back door when you come in. It ain’t safe not to. Smile for the camera, bitch."
He was holding a video camera and pointing it right at her. Anne realized that he was filming her, standing in her doorway dressed only in her nightgown, and she blushed.
She shook her head a little, trying to shake off the cobwebs from the wine.
"What…?"
He laughed at her, and then an arm circled her waist and a hand clamped over her mouth with an iron grip. Anne tried to scream, and a sickly-sweet chemical smell filled her nostrils.
I didn’t lock the back door
Anne started to struggle, flailing her arms and legs wildly, but the man holding her simply tightened his grip and pulled her back into the dark living room. The man on the porch grinned and followed them inside, quietly shutting the door.
"Shit. That was easy."
"Yeah."
Anne was dizzy, disoriented from the chemicals soaked into the rag. The man behind her dropped her, retching, onto the floor, and Anne wondered if they were going to rape her.
"Please…l-leave me a-alone…"
They both laughed.
The men her gagged her, stuffing the pair of dirty panties that she’d taken off earlier in the kitchen roughly into her mouth, and wound the leg of her nylons around her head, tying the feet together tightly behind the nape of her neck. They used some heavy plastic zip-ties to bind her hands behind her back. Then they lifted her as easily as if she were a child, and carried her through the house and out the back door to the van.
"C’mon. Hurry up."
The security light didn’t go on this time; the men’s shoes crunched through broken glass as they carried Anne outside, still kicking.
"Damn. She’s a feisty bitch."
"Fuck it. Hit her ‘till she stops."
They slapped her, knocking her face back and forth, until sparks of light went off behind her eyes. Anne groaned into the gag, and stopped kicking. Blood seeped from her nose and dripped down the front of her nightgown.
"Shit." The man with the camera shook his hand. "That hurt."
"Pussy."
"Fuck you."
Anne was picked up again, and they carried her quickly down the driveway. The van’s side door rolled open and the engine started as soon as Anne was dropped inside.
"Here go, kids. Enjoy."
Several more men were waiting in the van. They wore ski masks, and masks made out of nylon stockings. The man with the video camera jumped into the van and slammed the door shut. The men surrounded Anne. One of them held a syringe up and gave the plunger an ominous squeeze, sending a squirt of pale liquid out of the needle.
Anne’s bloodshot eyes went wide with panic.
The men smiled behind their masks and pinned her to the floor of the vehicle. The needle was plunged deep in her arm.
The gag muffled Anne’s screams.
The large man plopped into the front with the driver, making the van lurch with his weight. Together, they turned to watch the struggle through a peephole cut into the cab.
In the back, the men held Anne down until she stopped screaming and jerking, then they unwound the pantyhose and removed the gag from her mouth.
"Here it comes."
The driver nodded at the observation.
Anne vomited, retched again, then passed out. She was dragged to the front of the van where an old blanket was draped over her limp body.
"Gotta love the first time somebody tries smack."
"Mmn."
The large man wrinkled his nose with distaste, then turned to the driver and lit a cigar. "Almost finished now. Just one more, and then we can have some fun before we get paid."
In answer, the driver just smiled and started the van.
***
Hope.
The real American Dream.
It’s what this country was founded on. A simple word, yet it means so much.
Liberty.
Justice.
For all. Not just the few.
Generations of immigrants have braved countless hardships to travel to these shores. Searching for something so simple.
A new life.
A new beginning.
***
Seated at his table and lost in bitter memories, Hector wept quietly for his brother.
Arturo
Hector had always been content with his life. He wanted for nothing: drugs, women, money; his needs were simple, and the political and military corruption in his country provided everything he ever wanted. When he came of age, Hector immersed himself in the violent life and took those things he wanted by force.
But not Arturo.
He hated the drugs and the rape, the killing and the corruption; what he called the murder of his soul. Arturo spent his nights dreaming of America and his days speaking of little else. The stories that were told of the Promised Land lured him like a sirens call.
When he turned seventeen, Arturo decided to chase his dreams. Hector could have sent him to America in comfort, like a prince. But Arturo wanted more, he needed to understand. He had to experience the hardship, the struggle of his people.
So he left his home and his family and began the long, dangerous trek across the border. Many strong men die attempting that voyage, even now in this day and age, or are caught and sent home, disgraced.
Somehow, after long weeks, Arturo made it.
He sent a constant stream of letters home, telling Hector and their family of America, the land of the free. He wrote that he had found a job working as a dishwasher in a small restaurant and a place to live. And he confided in Hector that he’d met a woman. Arturo’s English was very poor and at first, he struggled. But a waitress at the restaurant helped him. They fell in love, and a few months later, they had a baby girl.
They named the baby Emma.
Arturo said they were happy. For a while.
Months passed, and one day Arturo came home from work early. He’d been promoted to a line cook at the restaurant and the owners had given him a pay raise. He wanted to celebrate, and on his walk home he’d stopped and bought Isabella flowers. Arturo was whistling when he opened his door.
His life ended when he stepped inside.
Emma was lying naked on the floor of their little apartment, screaming, covered in her piss and feces, an empty bottle beside her on the floor. Isabelle was on her knees, kneeling against the couch; with a greasy, tattooed man fucking her from behind, like a she was a dog in heat.
They ignored Emma and her cries.
Isabelle’s eyes were vacant and unseeing. A used syringe was broken on the floor. A clear plastic pipe had fallen from Isabelle’s nerveless fingers, and lay on the floor next to Emma, still hot and smoking. Emma had tried to reach her bottle, but found the pipe instead, and red, puss-filled blisters had burst out on her poor, tiny fingers.
Arturo had seen crack before, both at home, when he and Hector were homeless children living in the street, and in the flop houses where he had slept when he first came to America. He knew the evils of the drug. He knew Isabelle was an addict. She told him after they met, when they began dating.
Arturo didn’t care. He loved her anyway. But when they learned that Isabelle was pregnant, Arturo asked her to stop. He begged her.
And she promised.
So when Arturo opened his door and found his wife and child, he flew into a mindless rage. He beat the man until he ran from the house, naked and bleeding. And then he turned his rage on Isabelle. He hit and kicked her until she cowered in a corner, then he took Emma, and he left, swearing to Isabelle that she would never see them again.
That was his mistake. He never should have left.
Neighbors called the police about a domestic disturbance. The police came and interviewed Isabelle a day later. She concocted her story, and the police decided Arturo had kidnapped his daughter, and was in danger of fleeing the country. On their advice, Isabelle hired the law firm of Sharon Chapman and Anne Laird to represent her in a custody suit. Chapman and Laird, the police told her, had established a reputation of taking on these types of domestic cases; incidents where a wife or a child had been abused or raped.
And Isabelle told more lies.
The police picked up Arturo and Emma at the restaurant, when he went in to pick up his paycheck. Arturo was arrested without a fight, processed and sent to jail to await trial.
Emma was taken into protective custody.
In court, Sharon Chapman convinced the judge and jury that Arturo had forced Isabelle to take drugs and prostitute herself, and who often raped his own child. She wove stories, describing to the court in grisly detail the atrocities that he had perpetrated on his family.
Again and again during the trial, Chapman directed the jury’s attention to Arturo, enforcing their suspicion that he was the monster she described. When she was called as a witness, under oath, Isabelle claimed that when he kidnapped Emma, Arturo intended on selling the baby for money, or God only knew what else.
They called him evil.
Arturo had no money. He barely spoke English. No real lawyer would represent him, and the women lawyers that represented Isabelle were very persuasive with their lies.
He had no chance.
A judge convicted him of all the heinous crimes he had been accused of, and sentenced him to more than twenty years in prison. And they made sure that he would never see his daughter again. Isabelle smiled as Arturo was led from the courtroom, and she celebrated, hugging her lawyers. Sharon Chapman herself handed Emma back into Isabelle’s needle-pricked arms.
Her wicked smile was the last thing Arturo saw before he was taken away.
In prison, Arturo wrote to Hector. He claimed that Isabella had been his one, true love, and his love had blinded him while she cut out his heart.
Isabelle had stolen everything; his daughter, his self-respect and pride. His honor.
Less than a month later, Arturo learned that both Isabelle and Emma had died in a fire. The fire had started in a drug house. The house was owned by the man Arturo had caught fucking his Isabelle, and beaten. The inhabitants had been too stoned to escape.
That day, Arturo lost what little was left of his soul.
The other inmates understood none of this. In prison, child molesters are reviled by the rest of the populace. Arturo was hurt badly, day after day, by men who had raped and killed. The irony was not lost on him, that Isabelle was still torturing him, even from beyond the grave. He tried to tell the truth of what had happened to anyone who he hoped would listen. He tried to fight back. It only made his life worse.
Arturo began to despair. He again wrote to Hector, begging him to come to America. Hector swore to his brother that he would help, that he would come and make the people who did this pay.
The next day, another inmate killed Arturo in his cell, stabbing him in the chest, over and over, with a homemade knife. The guards found Arturo much later, lying on the floor of his cell in a pool of blood. They called for a medic and watched him bleed.
No one would say who actually killed him.
***
It took Hector some time to arrange travel to the United States. When he finally arrived, he went directly to the prison to claim Arturo’s body. When he saw his brother’s corpse, Hector closed off his heart to the pain, until it was like a live thing trapped inside him, eating at him. He bottled up the rage. It would have to wait.
He wasn’t sure what he should do next. In his country, to resolve this matter would be simple. Hector would simply have had the people responsible for his brother’s death brought to him, then tortured and killed. But he couldn’t do that here. As powerful as he was at home, he had few friends here. He had to wait for an opportunity, to develop a plan.
So he claimed his brothers few possessions from the authorities, and he moved into the same small apartment where Arturo had lived with Isabelle and Emma. He had Arturo’s body returned home, away from this awful place. Just a few days later, Arturo’s attorney, a court-appointed lawyer, contacted Hector.
Hector went to meet him, and he was given a sealed manila envelope. When Hector asked what it was, the attorney just shrugged.
"Dunno. Open it and see."
Hector returned to the tiny apartment and opened the envelope. By the time he finished reading, he was smiling.
Before he died, Arturo had found a way to get his revenge.
***
Arturo didn’t want Susan Chapman or Anne Laird dead. That would have been a simple thing; Hector had killed before, men and women; it was the same to him. Easy.
No, Arturo wanted the lawyers, and anyone who had worked for them punished. He wanted them to be humiliated and ruined, raped and beaten, their lives destroyed, just as his had been. Somehow while he was in prison, Arturo had learned of the Fantasies, Inc. people, and their capabilities. It seemed that they would and could do almost anything. For a price.
Arturo laid his plans carefully. It would be expensive, he knew, and he did not have access to the funds he would need. But he found a way it might work.
First, somehow Hector had to get close to the lawyers, get them to trust him. So he swallowed his pride and gone to work for them as a janitor.
A fucking, piece of shit janitor
He’d worked his ass off for them, biding his time and learning where they lived, their habits, their secrets. He learned where they each kept their money, and where the accounts for the firm where. He worked and watched, and slowly and surely they began to confide in him. When he though he’d learned enough, he sent Arturo’s plan to the Fantasy website, and waited.
Nothing happened. Hector began to think he’d been scammed. But he held onto a small hope that he would not let go. Not until that arrogant bitch had been properly punished.
Hector hated slaving for the lawyer cunt and her partner. Hated them for what they had done to his brother and his family. His own honor had been disgraced, working like a common pig for the bitch. So, every day for the past six months he had come home from work and checked his email account, and every day he had been disappointed.
But now…
Hector turned the padded envelope over in his hands. His name and his address were neatly printed in the middle of the package. There was nothing else to find. No label or return address; nothing. He took a small pocket knife from his trousers and slit open the sealed flap. He shook the contents out onto the table.
He peeked inside the envelope to make sure it was empty, and tossed it away. On the table in front of him was a stack of silver computer disks and a plain envelope with the Fantasies, Inc. logo printed in gold in the middle. Each disk was sealed in a plastic case, and labeled with a woman’s first name, two disks each.
He picked up the envelope and tore it open.
Hello.
At your earliest convenience please check your email for a complete set of instructions, as well as a link to your new, personal web site to monitor the progress of your fantasy. You have our absolute assurance that your website is totally private and completely secure.
You may be contacted with further updates. Please find included with this notification a bonus set of disks; our free gift to you.
We hope you enjoy your special gift.
Sincerely,
Fantasies, Inc.
Hector read the note, and a second later he was on the internet, checking his email. He brought up his account, half expecting not to find anything.
But there it was. Just one message, but that was enough to send a current of excitement through his body. He clicked with the mouse and read his message, a short version of the note from the envelope, with a link attached. He clicked on the link, and waited.
The page loaded quickly. On the main page, another link in a fancy script read: Welcome to your fantasy. Underneath that, in smaller type, was a flashing: Click here.
Hector clicked.
The next page was divided and boxed into quarters; each box contained a separate link, the first name of a woman; the same first names were printed on each of the disks that were included in the package.
Hector knew those names. He briefly wondered why there were four. There was a message at the top of the page.
All flashing links are live feeds, filmed in real time. You can choose to save your favorite video feeds in your free, additional website space for later viewing. You can also edit your saved files using the software provided online, then download and save the files on your hard drive or other media for your continued enjoyment. Make your own movies, screen savers, and more!
Three of the links were flashing, with a steady red pulse.
Debbie. Michelle. Anne.
Hector chose a name at random, pointed the mouse, clicked, and the page changed again. He stared at his screen. Dozens of new links, divided and grouped under headings.
At home, In the car, At the office, Saved files, etc.
The Athome link was flashing. Hector clicked.
Bathroom
And suddenly, live and in color, with sound that was clear as a bell, Hector was watching Debbie Jones, taking her morning shower. He watched as she lathered shampoo through her bleached-blonde hair, and listened to her hum quietly, as soapy, steaming hot water ran over her huge breasts, down her back and her belly, past her mound and down her legs.
Hector gasped in pleasure. He felt an erection trying to burst from his trousers. In his excitement, he knocked over his chair when he stood and dropped his pants.
He straightened the chair and sat back down with his pants bunched in a puddle around his ankles and his cock throbbing in his hand.
He jacked off while Debbie finished her shower and dried off. He watched her pat her pale skin dry with a fluffy white towel, then wrapped it in her hair, like a turban. She brushed her teeth and left the bathroom.
On his screen, a message popped up.
Camera auto-follow between rooms? Yes/No?He clicked on yes.
The camera view switched to a bedroom. Debbie had taken the towel off and tossed it on her bed, and was pulling on a tiny pair of lacy black panties. She had her back turned towards the camera, giving Hector a nice view of her plump ass. His dick throbbed, and then another message popped up.
Did you know? You can use your mouse to scroll between camera angles. Give it a try. Click the edge of the window to view a new frame.
Hector clicked the top of the screen, and suddenly Debbie’s tits filled the entire monitor, large as life, like he could just reach out and grab them.
Click and hold the right mouse button, then move the mouse to adjust and focus between different camera angles
He clicked and rolled the mouse back towards the edge of the table, until he could see Debbie’s whole room again.
There.
He laughed when she lost her balance and fell on her ass. Debbie swore. She’d fallen with her legs up in the air and the panties dangling around one of her knees. Hector used the mouse to zoom in again, giving him a nice look at her snatch. Bushy.
Debbie grunted and struggled to her feet. He watched, spellbound, as she dressed for work, slipping on a bra and nylon stockings, then a nice skirt and blouse. The camera went black when she left the house, then switched to a shot of Debbie walking to her car. She unlocked the car, and another message popped up.
Continue filming? Yes/No
NO.
His cock was bored now. Time to try someone else. Hector backed out. The link he wanted was still dead, so instead he chose Michelle.
Bathroom
The screen refreshed. Hectors’ eyes popped open, and his cock perked right back up. Michelle, shot from above and behind, was leaning over her bathroom counter with her ass up in the air, putting on lipstick. Her jet-black hair was still wet from the shower, black and glistening with moisture. She was dressed in a lacy satin bra and a pair of matching panties.
Talking a mile a minute, another, older woman entered the bathroom and stepped into the shower. Hector used the mouse to zoom in on her face.
Sharon
Hector jacked off as she bathed, and slumped back in his chair when he blew his load onto the linoleum. Sharon finished with her shower. Michelle dressed for work in a blue suit and a white silk blouse. She clipped on a pair of pearl earrings, smiled, and pressed her body tightly against Sharon’s.
A look of euphoria stole over Sharon’s face. She shut her eyes and smiled as Michelle lightly cupped her breasts and kissed the nape of her neck. She ran her hand through Michelle’s hair, and they clung to each other, swaying gently. Then Sharon turned and the women embraced, two lovers, kissing passionately.
His penis twitched again, and rose back to attention. I did not realize. But this is…this is very fine.
Hector spent the rest of the morning at his computer, happily exploring the feeds that had been collected over the past couple weeks and the disks that had been included with his package.
***
Lost in her drug-induced euphoria, Sharon had no idea how long they raped her. She barely remembered any of it after the drugs took effect, except that at some point her body betrayed her and she began responding to the sex. She remembered hearing a grunt of surprise from one of the men while he fucked her. She’d suddenly wrapped her legs around his back and started bucking uncontrollably underneath him and she came with a loud cry, sending a torrent of warm fluid squirting over his thighs. He backhanded her face and called her a horny cunt, then went back to fucking her.
Everything else was bits and pieces.
Once, she recognized Annie’s face, tight with pain, shoved against a muscular belly. She was stripped naked and gagging, with ropes of spit and vomit dangling from her chin, her cheeks and slim neck bulging from the thick cock that was slamming in and out of her mouth. Sharon noticed other, fuzzy shapes and voices, the wet, slurping sound of sex, men grunting and women gasping with pain and crying from shame. The sounds all seemed muffled and distorted, as if they were far away.
The men liked to fuck her two or three at a time. One man would fuck her and pull out, and then another would immediately take his place. The Mountain was the worst. He liked to rip into her ass with his enormous cock, fuck her, and then make her swallow him until he came, shooting his load while he was buried deep in her throat.
Sharon thought the ordeal would be over relatively quickly, but it seemed like it went on for hours. She realized there was no natural way the rapists could be that potent. The men must have taken some kind of drug not long before.
The van drove slowly, rarely slowing, and the motion of the vehicle was almost comforting. Every once in a while, Sharon felt them ease to a stop, probably for lights, and she even thought that she heard a police siren once, right next to them. She tried to scream then, but the men around her just laughed and a cock was pushed into her mouth. At some point the drugs they gave her began to wear off, and she felt the pain of her torn, battered body: the sharp pain running up her jaw and down her neck, her bruised breasts, the torn flesh of her rectum and vagina, the bites on her nipples and neck and shoulders. The men had taken her jewelry, but they never bothered to remove her clothes; now the material just hung from her in torn scraps.
Eventually the van slowed and came to a stop. Sharon was thrown onto her belly on the floor, facing the van door, and her arms were locked behind her back. Annie was beside her, staring vacantly into space. Next to her, Debbie was kneeling on all fours, still being fucked by two men. They came quickly and shoved her to the floor, handcuffing her while cum still glistened on their cocks.
Sharon glanced around, her drugged mind beginning to work again. Debbie. Annie. Someone was missing.
Michelle,
she thought. She’s not here. They didn’t get Michelle.
A tinge of hope ran through her as the men dressed. Then the Mountain pulled a cell phone from his coat.
"We’re ready."
The door to the van was unlocked and thrown open. The wind rushed inside, covering the three women with a light blanket of freezing snow and ice. Sharon shivered miserably.
"Here you go, buddy. They’re all yours."
The Mountain and the other men stepped over the women and jumped out of the van. Sharon looked up and gasped in surprise.
Hector stood in the doorway, his face twisted into a mask of hate and lust. His black eyes bored into Sharon’s, and she shivered again, but not from the cold.
The Mountain clapped him on the shoulder, and handed him two small video tapes. "These are on us, m’man, made last night and on the ride. They’ll be available on the net in an hour or two, soon as we get ‘em edited."
Hector nodded, his face changing into a demonic grin as he pocketed the tapes. Sharon looked past the men, trying to see a landmark, figure out were they were. All she could see were a few trees, barely visible behind a wall of white.
"The van’s all gassed up. You got a stash under the front seat, enough heroin to keep the two of ‘em nice and quiet ‘till you get past the border. There’s a map folded in the glove box. Follow the directions and take the marked route down through California. Be at the border at exactly eight o’clock in the morning two days from now. You need to be there on Christmas day. Our man will be there, waiting with a plane. He’ll get you to where you’re going without any problems. You’re on your own after that. Got it?"
Hector nodded. "I understand."
Sharon gasped again. Hector grinned at her. His accent had disappeared. He even seemed larger, taller; a commanding figure instead of the meek little custodian she knew. Out of the corner of her eye, Sharon saw Debbie staring at him too. Annie was still blank; the whites of her eyes showing and blood still oozing from her mashed nose. She seemed catatonic.
The Mountain nodded.
"Right. Now, ‘bout the cash."
Hector finally took his eyes off Sharon. "I thought you figured out how to get it?"
Another voice came from outside, away from Sharon’s point of view; soft, quiet and definitely female.
"We did."
Hector backed up a half-step, and almost bowed. The Mountain smiled, and said, "Hey, love."
Michelle peeked into the van and grinned merrily. She was snuggled into Sharon’s nice, warm cashmere coat. She smiled down at Sharon.
"Sharon! Look at you! You look so cute, tied up like that. Makes me want to eat you up, but..." She slowly licked her ruby lips, then nodded at Hector. "You don’t belong to me anymore."
Hector grinned. Michelle tossed him a set of keys.
"Oh, well. You know what they say. ‘Better to have loved and lost’ and all that garbage. Anyway, Hector, those are for you. Keys to their handcuffs and the van, too. I’ve been driving this big fucking thing around all night, and now it’s all yours."
Hector made the keys disappear into the same pocket as the video tapes.
Michelle wrapped her slim arms around the Mountain. "And pretty soon, I’ll be able to finish work and get back to my sweetie-pie." She looked up and drank in the dark eyes behind the mask. She eased the edge of the mask up past his lips, and they kissed passionately. "Baby, you’re so sweet. I love the coat."
"Thought you might."
The Mountain grinned and they kissed again. Sharon grunted angrily. Michelle finally turned back to the van.
"Well, well. Look at you, all wrapped up like presents under the tree. Merry Christmas, Hector. From all of us at Fantasies, Inc."
"Thank you."
"You like our work?"
"Yes. It was perfect. My brother’s spirit will be able to rest soon. And I…" The look he gave Sharon turned her blood to ice. "I will find my own pleasure." He turned back to the Mountain. "But I do not understand about the money?"
Michelle stepped closer to Sharon and stroked her hair. Sharon jerked her head away, and Michelle slapped her, smacking her face into the floorboard. She grabbed a knot of Sharon’s hair and twisted it in her fist.
"Now, now, now. Is that any way to behave? Hmmn?"
She jerked Sharon’s head back and stuck a finger into her mouth. Her long, painted fingernails dug into the soft roof of Sharon’s mouth as she worked the metal ring free.
"Well, Hector, you see, they couldn’t have done this the easy way. Oh, no. Even after everything I’ve done for the firm, all the money I’ve made for these lovely ladies, none of these cunts ever really trusted me with the passwords for the bank accounts. So…"
She pulled the ring out of Sharon’s mouth and tossed it in the air. The Mountain caught it with a grin. The ring disappeared into a pocket and, once again, the Mountain pulled out his cell phone. Sharon had thought having the ring out of her mouth would be a relief, but she sucked at the cold air, fighting the sudden urge to vomit and the sharp pain running down her jaw.
Hector looked confused. "What?"
"So tonight Sharon’s going to finally tell me what they are." Michelle opened the coat. She was naked underneath, her nipples hard from the cold. She pulled a gleaming blue pistol from an inside pocket and pointed it at Sharon’s head. "Aren’t you, baby?"
"You f-f-fucking b-b-bitch!"
Michelle feigned shocked. "Now, now. No need to get crude, sweet."
"I’m not telling you anything!" Sharon croaked.
"Oh, I think you will."
Michelle cocked back the slide and pressed the barrel of the gun to Sharon’s temple. Sharon lost control of her bladder; warm piss soaked the filthy carpet under her hips.
"Oh, God, please…"
Hector panicked and lunged at Michelle. "No! No! I’m not done with her! I…"
The Mountain caught him easily, and held him still. Michelle smiled gently.
"Sweet, sweet Sharon. He needs you. We can’t call this job finished if I kill you. That’s bad for my reputation. And my employers - my real employers, that is, well, they absolutely hate when a project doesn’t end on a positive note. Gotta keep the customers satisfied, you know what I’m saying? I think you do. And besides all that, we don’t get paid. So I guess I can’t shoot you, now can I?"
Michelle dragged the gun hard across Sharon’s face, cutting a furrow along her cheeks. Sharon felt warm blood seep from the cuts as Michelle pointed the gun at Anne’s head. She looked over at Hector, who was staring at her, wide-eyed. Sharon thought he looked as panicked as she felt. Anne never blinked, her eyes still blank, unfocused.
"Hector?" Michelle inclined her head. "What about Anne? You need her too?"
Hector gulped, and nodded frantically. "Yes!Yes! Both of them! Both of those bitches killed my brother! You know I want them both alive!"
"Shit. That’s true. It was all there in your submission, wasn’t it? Very interesting story, by the way. So sad."
Michelle shook her head, feeling the pain. Then:
"Well, anyway. Okay. If you insist, I won’t shoot her. But I don’t think it would be much of a loss, personally."
Michelle made a snorting noise and looked down at Anne.
"Just a pretty face. Awful attorney. Hell, after we accepted this assignment, I barely studied for two weeks before I took the bar exams, and I’m a better lawyer than this twat is, even after what - twenty years?" She snorted again. "I think the old boys just tolerated her to get a piece of her pretty ass once in a while."
Michelle flipped her hair back over her shoulder, and grinned at Sharon.
"You know, she wasn’t even a good fuck. Nice for a quickie, I guess, but boring as all hell. She didn’t even like being tied up. No wonder you got tired of her."
Sharon squirmed, furious. "W-what?"
"Oh, didn’t you know?" Michelle pinched one of Anne’s nipples. "I seduced her just a few weeks ago. She came to my house one night, trying to win you back. I think you were out of town on work. I can’t really remember." Michelle looked off into the snow, remembering. She was jerking on Anne’s tit and letting it fall, then doing it over and over. "She was so drunk. I think she wanted to kill me, actually."
"Leave her alone!"
"If you insist."
Michelle stepped to the end of the door. She grinned at the terrified Debbie, and looked back at Hector.
"We’ve got one more option."
Hector stopped struggling. "Her?"
"Yep."
Hector thought about it for a moment.
"I don’t need her."
Michelle smiled. "Good."
Debbie tried to scream, but it was cut short. Michelle grabbed the pearl necklace still hanging between Debbie’s breasts, and gave it a vicious twist. Debbie’s eyes popped open. She choked and kicked as her air was cut off. Two of the masked men wrestled her out of the van, dumping her roughly onto the frozen ground. They pulled Debbie up into a kneeling position and held her in place as Michelle moved quickly behind her, grabbed a handful of her hair and pushed the gun against the back of her head.
The Mountain dialed a number on his cell phone. A second later he grunted and nodded at Michelle.
"Well, baby?"
Michelle smiled happily at Sharon.
"Would you like to tell me now? I want the passwords for both the corporate accounts, and for all of your personal accounts. I know you know them."
Her voice turned cold.
"Don’t fuck with me, baby, or you’ve got a dead, fat-ass cunt lying here for the police to find, and a coat that belongs to you covered in her blood. We’ll wipe the gun down and put it in your hand. Just for a second. When the police find the murder weapon hidden away, with your fingerprints on it, and then the coat…"
She shrugged.
"Well. I’m sure you’ve put people behind bars with less evidence. And don’t forget, this lovely state has the death penalty."
Michelle looked over at Hector, and smiled.
"A little improv on your scenario, I know. But it works, yes?"
He was completely composed again, and nodded curtly. "Yes."
Sharon finally understood why Michelle was naked under the coat. She could just wash the blood off. No other clothes to dispose of.
"Michelle, please…" She whispered. "Don’t..."
Michelle just smiled and licked her lips. Sharon remembered that face, from the first time she’d seen Michelle in criminal court, going after the jugular of a defending attorney. She only looked that way when she was having fun.
"Ba-bee. We’ve wasted enough time, and my tootsie’s are getting cold. So lets speed this up. I’m going to count to three, and then Fatty here’s dead. One, two…"
Debbie was turning blue. Her entire body was shaking. Sharon didn’t even think twice about telling them the passwords, just blurted out everything she could remember. The Mountain repeated everything into the cell phone, and they waited while Michelle slowly and happily choked Debbie to death.
"Good." The Mountain snapped the cell phone shut. "That’s it. ten-point-six million dollars, transferred to points unknown." He glared at Sharon. "No money, my black ass."
Michelle grinned and turned to Hector.
"Well. It’s been nice working with you, Hector. As a parting gift, you’ll find a bank book in the van with a small balance, thoughtfully contributed to your cause from the now defunct law firm of Chapman and Laird. Enjoy."
She nodded to the Mountain. He pulled two syringes from his pocket, uncapped one, squirted a bit of fluid into the air, found a vein in Anne’s arm and jabbed the needle in. He injected her quickly. Anne’s staring eyes rolled back into her head, exposing the whites. Her body convulsed once and relaxed. Then he turned to Sharon and uncapped the other syringe.
Sharon shook her head and screamed as he twisted her arm. "N-no…!"
She felt a strange warmth flood her arm, and she started to cry. The world around her quickly turned grey. The Mountain slammed the door shut with a clang, and Sharon’s last thought was that Michelle had never let Debbie go.
Then she heard two muffled pops from outside the van, like firecrackers going off, and Michelle’s low, throaty laughter.
Sharon vomited as the heroin hit her nervous system.
She heard a noise, coming closer. A helicopter?
The van’s engine rumbled as it started.
And Sharon’s world went black.
***
Epilogue
A fat, black fly buzzed incessantly around Sharon’s face, waking her from her stupor.
Sharon groaned and tried to swat at the fly, but her arm didn’t seem to want to move. Something clanked, like metal scraping metal, and she glanced around, blinking, groggy and unsure of her surroundings. Her eyes took a moment to focus. She licked dry, cracked lips, wanting to rub away the thick crust that had caked her eyes, and wondered again why her arm wouldn’t move.
She found herself in a large, green tent, handcuffed to the steel frame of a folding cot. Anne was lying naked and unconscious on an identical cot just next to her.
"A-Annie?" She croaked.
Two hard, stone-faced men in faded military fatigues guarded the entrance to the tent. One of them grunted and lifted the tent flap, letting in a brilliant ray of sunlight, and stepped outside. Sharon heard the sound of men and vehicles moving outside, and muted, as if farther away, the sound of animals. Dogs, barking. Other sounds, too, that she didn’t recognize.
"W-who are you? Where are we?"
The guard ignored her and the fly. He simply stared straight ahead, his dark eyes fixed on some point at the back of the tent.
Sharon gave up trying to speak and concentrated on taking stock of her situation. She too was stripped naked. She felt awful, like she’d suffered through a horrible illness. Her body was covered with just-healing bruises and welts, as was Annie’s. Both had their wrists handcuffed to the middle edges of the cots, and their feet were locked as well, in the same fashion.
A sharp jolt of pain shot down her spine when Sharon lifted her head, making the muscles in her belly clench and spasm. Her limbs trembled uncontrollably. Her body was slick with sweat and crusted with dried vomit; tiny, pin-prick scabs ran along the inside of her bruised forearms. The tent was sweltering hot. Sharon tried to speak again, to ask for a drink of water. It felt like she was swallowing razor blades. The guard didn’t bother to answer or move from his post; he just kept staring straight ahead, and Sharon didn’t have the strength to ask again.
Vague memories plagued her, floating in and out of her mind, just on the edge of her consciousness. Images of a van. Men she did not know. Annie and Debbie. Pain, and more pain. A plane. And over everything, a desperate craving that gnawed at the pit of her stomach.
Sharon let her head rest back on the cot. A tear bubbled over and ran down the side of her cheek, cutting a trail through the dirt and grime smeared on her face.
She remembered everything now. The abduction and the rapes. Michelle, dressed in nothing but Sharon’s coat, holding a gun to the back of Debbie’s head, smiling like she didn’t have a care in the world. And a moment later, after Sharon had given her what she wanted, everything she’d asked for, the two gunshots.
Sharon remembered being drugged and afterwards, a long drive, tied and gagged with Anne in the back of the kidnappers van. More drugs each time the van would stop. A final stop, and then a plane ride.
Withdrawal. Knots of nausea and intense pain, eating at her gut.
Sharon shook her head, trying to rid herself of the fear that was paralyzing her as surely as the binds holding her down.
She was still alive. That had to count for something. She and Anne could have been killed too, along with Debbie. But they were alive. And maybe she could somehow keep them that way.
Next to her, Anne began to stir, moaning. Outside the tent, Sharon heard precise, measured footsteps approaching.
Then voices.
One voice Sharon thought she recognized; hard and commanding. The tent flap was pulled back and two men entered, their dusty boots crunching on the soil floor. The flap fell back into place as they stepped inside.
Sharon sniffled and again raised her head, only to send another shock of pain through her skull. Her vision blurred and she choked back a cry, blinking away tears until she could see again.
"Awake. Finally."
Hector stood silently at the foot of her cot, appraising her with a cold glare. He turned to the guards and spoke a few, clipped words that Sharon couldn’t understand.
"Clean them up and let the men have their fun. Bring them to the pit at dusk."
The guards nodded, grinning wolfishly. Sharon remembered seeing that grin from other men, men who had hurt her, and not long ago.
"W-wait, p-please…you can let us go. We won’t tell anyone…"
Hector laughed. A short, loud bark. Then he stepped close and slapped Sharon across the face. He grabbed her, squeezing her bruised cheeks, and he spit in her eye. The spittle mixed with her tears and blurred her vision even more. Then, in English:
"I will not foul myself by taking my pleasure from you. I will leave you to the men, and then to the dogs."
Then he spun on his heel and marched out of the tent.
***
A sharp word was shouted outside the tent and the guards had men fetch several buckets of tepid water.
The water was brought quickly, and the tent began to fill with scarred, brutal-looking men, all of whom were armed and dressed in the same faded combat fatigues. The tent flap remained open, and more men peered in from outside. They laughed and joked, watching expectantly as the guards doused the women, still cuffed tightly to their cots, drenching them from head to foot with murky grey water. They scrubbed Sharon and Anne clean using thick cakes of rough soap and stiff brushes, until their skin was pink and raw. Then they were doused again, and again, until the dripping water made soapy pools of mud under the bedding.
Sharon heard Annie in the next cot, whispering "no no no no", over and over, as one of the men reached between her spread legs and began shoving his hand roughly into her vagina. Annie screamed, but the men just laughed with their comrade as he fingered her, jabbing his hand deep into her soft pussy.
Anne’s body jerked and heaved. The men unlocked Anne’s feet and flipped her over onto her stomach. Two of them spread her legs wide, holding her firmly in place by her ankles. The man who had been fist-fucking Anne unzipped his pants and pulled out a massive, uncircumcised cock. He slapped her ass and climbed up on the cot and wedged himself between Anne’s legs.
Sharon closed her eyes as the men gathered closely around them. A boy who could’ve been no more than fifteen leaned over Sharon and bit her nipple until she cried out. She began to weep silently as her ankles were unlocked, and she tried unsuccessfully to blot out her friend’s muffled screams.
A moment later, someone took care of the problem for her.
***
The rapes seemed to go on forever.
When the sun began to set, the guards pushed away the few remaining men and unlocked Anne and Sharon. They were then dragged out of the tent, naked, bloody and exhausted. Sharon tried to struggle and received a pair of vicious slaps. Anne let the men cuff her hands behind her back without a word. She whimpered when they touched her and kept her eyes fixed on the ground. All the fight seemed to have been drained out of her.
Sharon glanced around as she stumbled from the tent, past the men still milling about. They were being held in a small military camp, stationed in a deep jungle. Their tent was picketed a few yards away from the main camp.
Outside, another pair of armed guards stationed at the entrance to the tent fell into step as they were yanked away towards the outskirts of the camp. The women were led past a convoy of camouflaged jeeps and other vehicles to a small clearing, full of sweaty, drunken men, feasting next to a roaring bonfire. Sharon noticed women among the men, dressed in little more than rags, serving food and drink.
The men groped the women and laughed.
The gathering circled a shallow pit that had been scraped out of the forest floor. Six thick wooden stakes wrapped with supple leather thongs had been driven deep into the packed earth in the center of the pit.
Hector sat under a canopy in a camp chair at the far lip of the pit, flanked by a pair of armed guards. He appeared lost in thought.
Anne and Sharon were led down a slope cut like a tunnel that opened into the pit and forced to kneel by the stakes. Their captors saluted Hector, and the crowd of shouting men grew quiet, until the only sounds were the crackle of the fire, and the loud baying of dogs from somewhere beyond.
Hector acknowledged the salute with a grunt and a nod.
Anne and Sharon were held down, kneeling and spread-eagled, and strapped tightly to the stakes with their arms lashed to the ground straight out in front of them.
"Let them loose."
The men roared their approval. For the first time, Hector smiled. Sharon could hear Anne panting loudly.
She tried to comfort her friend. "Annie…?"
"N-nooo…!"
Anne shook her head frantically, staring at the crest of the slope, her eyes round and panicked. The barking grew louder, the sound suddenly noticeable over the cheers of the drunken men.
Sharon shouted to be heard. "Annie!"
Annie ignored her, and began screaming. Sharon turned to see the large, dark shapes as they appeared at the top of the pit, eyes red and gleaming in the firelight as they bounded swiftly down the incline towards them. Sharon’s mind froze, and for a moment, she truly wished she were dead. The realization of what was about to happen to them was sudden and crushing.
For the first time since her abduction, Sharon felt fear; and complete, total shame over what was to come.
"Oh God." Anne cried, thrashing in her bonds. "No…please…"
And then the dogs were in the pit, snarling and biting. Sharon screamed as the first hound touched her naked flank. And then some thing cold and wet was between her legs, sniffing. She looked up at the cheering men, at the smiling Hector, and shook her head frantically.
"N-no…"
Claws raked Sharon’s buttocks and her back as the first hound scrambled at her flesh with its paws, climbing onto her back. It mounted her quickly from behind, sniffing at her hair, her face, its heavy body smashing her to the ground and knocking the breath from her lungs. The animal drooled on her back and jerked its hips against her, painfully gouging its swollen red member deep into her tender pussy.
Hector, along with his men and their dogs, caroused well into the night.
***
The jungle was dark and quiet when Sharon woke. She heard the sound of running water, felt a warm spattering of moisture on her face. She groaned and opened her eyes. Anne was sprawled in the dirt, still tied, her breathing ragged. Sharon coughed dirt and foul tasting liquid out of her mouth. She hurt everywhere.
Hector finished his piss, shook his cock and stuffed it back in his cargo pants.
"Good morning, Senorita."
Sharon jerked back as a heavy knife was thrust into the ground next to her hands. She found herself staring at a pair of black boots, and looked up. Hector squatted next to her, his hands resting on his knees, his pair of guards at attention behind him.
"F-fuck you." Sharon spat the words.
He smiled benignly and indicated the knife.
"This is for you, as are these."
Hector waved a large, calloused hand and the guards tossed a pair of canteens and two backpacks onto the ground.
"It is time that we are leaving this place, Senorita. I have been away for much too long. My men have waited patiently, and it is time for me to make my presence in my country felt once again."
Hector smoothed his mustache, and continued.
"Do you understand why this happened?"
Sharon glanced at Anne and then glared at him, trembling.
"S-scum."
"Ah. No. You see, you have brought these last few weeks on yourself." He toyed with the hilt of the knife. "You killed my brother, you know?"
"I never hurt anyone."
"That is untrue."
Hector held up a finger, pointing at her. He unbuttoned his shirt pocket and removed the photo of Arturo and his family.
"Do you remember a man named Arturo Fernandez? No? Perhaps a woman called Isabelle, or a child named Emily?"
He brooded over the picture, his eyes smoldering, and then thrust the photo towards Sharon. He waited as recognition lit her eyes.
"You sent my brother to prison."
Sharon shook her head, defiant.
"He…he was scum…"
Hector hit Sharon hard enough that lights danced behind her eyes.
"Arturo was a boy."
He hit her again, knocking her head back and forth.
"A simple, loving boy, who forgave anyone their sins. A boy who wanted nothing more than to live in America, the land of hope and freedom. To live and love his family, yes? A dream he held dear, from when he was young; just a child, with me, living in the streets."
Hector rocked back on his heels, staring.
"He wrote me, you see. He knew Isabelle was hiding something. She had been a drug addict when they met. He tried to help. But that whore…she took Arturo’s dream and crushed it."
Hector jabbed at the picture with a blunt fingertip, his eyes narrowed.
"With your help."
"I didn’t…" Hector raised his hand again, but Sharon kept going. "He molested his child! The evidence… He abused his wife…"
The look Hector gave Sharon froze her blood.
"Lies. The child was molested, yes. But you had no forensic match, yes? None of the DNA? Where was your proof? You had no evidence, only the word of a crack whore. Who paid you and your friends to represent her? Hm? Can you answer that?"
Hector waited for her answer, grinding his teeth. When Sharon just shook her head, he continued.
"She was a simple waitress, yes? Who had no money, no family. Who? Who helped her? Do you know Isabelle and Emily died not a month after your lies sent my brother to prison? Did you bother to interview any of the employees at the restaurant, who all knew she was an addict? Did you?
Sharon continued shaking her head.
"Answer me, woman!"
"No! No…I…we believed her…"
Hector grabbed her face, forced her to look him in the eye.
"The man who paid for your fees is the same man who whored Isabelle and who raped her daughter. The same man who she and Emily were found dead with in flamed out drug house. The sick fuck who deluded you and your foolish partner into thinking that my brother…!"
Spittle foamed at the corners of Hectors mouth. One of the guards gently touched his shoulder. Hector rolled his neck and visibly brought himself back under control.
"I-I didn’t know…" Sharon stuttered. "I didn’t. Isabelle told me…"
"You believed her lies, and because of you, my brother was murdered in an American prison by a criminal who was trying to rape him."
He stared at her numbly, the corner of his lip twitching.
"You foolish woman. Now do you understand? Your casual ignorance is no excuse for what you have done."
Hector stood.
"You and that bitch took everything from him. His daughter. His life. That is the truth. The truth denied him because of your actions. Isabelle and the scum who caused this are beyond my grasp. But you are not. At the end, Arturo wanted you punished for your part in this. He wanted your lives and livelihoods destroyed, and your reputations ruined. That you suffer for your sins. But his last wish was that you understand."
He stepped around Sharon and kicked Anne in the side.
"I would have killed you, yes. But Arturo understood. You were fallible. You are a zealous woman, Sharon Chapman. You believed you were doing the correct thing. The Lord’s work, yes? Helping the poor, the down-trodden. He did not want for you to die."
He spit.
"So, I must see for myself. I work for you. Arturo’s assumption is correct. You are a fool, but a righteous fool."
He shook his head, grinned, and knelt again. When he touched Sharon’s face, he was almost gentle.
"Sharon Chapman. I leave you with a choice. To live, or to die. I leave you and your woman these packs and this knife. Inside the packs are clothes and enough supplies to see a strong, trained man through three, four days in the jungle. The knife is close enough for you to saw through your binds, after a time."
He pointed.
"There is an overgrown dirt road that heads directly north from this camp. If you follow the road, it winds through the hills and leads to a small village, many miles from here. By foot, a man might reach the town, perhaps after approximately eight days travel. Or…" The guards grinned. "You can take your friend and try your luck in the jungle. The knife has a compass. Cut your way through the bush, due north. You could save several days and your supplies would see you through, if you do not get lost. Fair warning: the jungle is dangerous. And even if you find your way through, either way, the people in the town are not fond Americans. They will not want to aid you. They may even kill you."
Hector spit again, for emphasis.
"But if you are resourceful and willing to pay with your, say, womanly treasures, you may find a man in the village with a small prop plane that may be coerced to fly you fairly close to the border. There you will find only more trials. The American authorities are currently searching for two women attorneys, lesbian lovers who embezzled several million dollars from their firm. It is very sensational and dramatic; the story is on all the news stations."
The guards actually chuckled at that; even Hector seemed pleased.
"The Americans believe that the firm’s junior partner was murdered to keep her quiet, and the body hidden. And they speculate that one of the employees, a receptionist named Debbie Jones, had somehow discovered what happening and confronted the pair herself, instead of notifying the police."
Hector bent his fingers into the shape of a pistol and pointed it at Sharon’s temple. Sharon flinched.
"They speculate that the women shot her in cold blood and then bolted from the country."
"Oh, God, Debbie…" Sharon whispered, horrified, remembering the two loud popping sounds outside the van when they were taken. "No…"
"The authorities are also searching for another person of some interest, who may have known what really happened; the company janitor, who seems to have disappeared. They assume that perhaps he was in the country illegally, discovered the body after it had been dumped in the lawyers’ office, and has fled the country. "
Hector stood and smoothed his mustache. He pulled his pistol from its holster and pointed it at Anne’s head.
No. Not again.
"No, no, no! God, please don’t shoot her…"
Hector pulled the trigger. The gun dry-fired. Empty. Anne whimpered, cringing.
"You bastard. You fucking bastard."
Hector laughed.
"It would be a mercy, you know, to kill her?"
He shrugged, appraising the battered women.
"You, Sharon, you are a strong woman. Strong both mentally and physically. You have proven this fact to me these last few weeks."
He kicked at Anne again.
"This one, however, she is not. But…" He shrugged. "She has survived this far. Perhaps she will surprise me. Yes?"
Hector smiled and ejected the magazine into his hand. He loaded two bullets and racked the slide, sending a casing into the chamber, clicked on the safety, bent and set the pistol on the ground, just inches away from Sharon’s numb fingers. He took a thin plastic card from his shirt pocket and tossed it to the ground as well.
"These are for you. The card is for a numbered bank account. The account contains the money that was given me by your original kidnappers. It is enough to hide both of you safely from the authorities for a considerable time. Enough, perhaps, to begin a new life. The man with the plane has been instructed to give you more information if you so choose."
He straightened, knees cracking.
"So, Sharon Chapman. Live or die. Those are your options."
He glanced at the tree tops, sunlight just peeking overhead.
"Be quick. It is cool now; but the sun will rise soon, and the pit is unbearable when the sun is directly overhead. In your condition, you and your woman could easily expire here if you do not escape from your bonds by noon. The jungle is not forgiving. The pistol can provide you a quick end, if that is what you decide. A cleaner way to die than you provided for my brother."
He turned to his men. "We are finished here. Come."
And with that, Hector and his guards turned and strode out of the pit, leaving the women to the rising sun.

Nancy parked and stared at the store front for a moment, wondering why she decided to stop here. She’d been driving around aimlessly for more than an hour, trying to come to grips with her life.
The driving wasn’t helping at all.
She sighed heavily, opened the car door and stepped out onto the pavement.
She tried to peek in the windows as she walked to the entrance, but her own reflection blurred everything inside. Nancy looked at herself, wondering where her life had gone. She tried to picture herself as the twenty-year old girl she sometimes still felt like: happy, attractive, and excited about life, not as the dumpy, middle-aged woman staring back at her from the window.
Nancy sighed again. Before he left on a business trip that morning, her h

usband Jack hadn’t even kissed her goodbye, and she wouldn’t see him again for a couple weeks. If she was lucky, he might call once or twice while he was gone, but their conversations wouldn’t last more than a few minutes.
She realized that Jacks ego had suffered a large blow after he’d lost his job so close to retirement, and she’d been happy for him when he started his own business, even if it meant not seeing him for weeks at a time. Jack always told her that a man like him, in his mid-50’s, had to work that much harder to keep an edge over all the young sharks swimming in todays workplace.
He was probably right, she knew, but she still felt lonely and abandoned. Nancy idly wondered if Jack was having an affair, or if it even mattered to her anymore.
Most of her friends were retiring and busy; always off on a new cruise or a neat trip, and now here she was, alone, her husband out of town, her daughters moved away and married with kids of their own.
Jack’s right, she thought. I just don’t know what to do with myself.
He’d told her to get a hobby, do something new and fun and exciting. Find something to take up her free time. Go shopping with her friends, or get a new hairdo or join a gym.
Something.
Nancy ran her hand through her hair. Jack hadn’t noticed when she took his advice and got her hair cut short, like Dorothy What’s-her-name, the figure skater. She’d dyed her hair too; to a nice, light brown that hid the grey that was creeping into her normal, mousy color.
She smiled a little and adjusted her new wire-rimmed glasses. The clerk at the optometrists’ said they made Nancy look ten years younger, so she’d bought two pairs. Jack grunted when he saw them, just like when she mentioned she’d started taking aerobics classes.
At least she was losing some weight.
But the gym hadn’t been the social outlet she’d hoped, either. Everyone she had class with were in their twenties and already in great shape. And their conversations! All about ‘going clubbing’ and sex.
The excercise seemed to be helping her waistline though, so she’d bought some new clothes and tried some cute new underwear. Nancy had hoped Jack would like them on her. She smiled again, remembering his shocked expression when she walked out of the bathroom last night, wearing her new lacy panties and bra.
She had felt a little silly in them, but the sales clerk at the lingerie store told her the push up bra and thong panties were all the rage. She tried to get Jack to make love, but he’d just kissed her forehead, saying he was too tired and he had to get up early in the morning.
Then he rolled over and fell asleep.
Sitting in the bed next to her snoring husband, she cried quietly, her tears falling, staining her new bra.
Nancy shook herself a little. She noticed someone inside the store now, behind the counter, so she opened the door and walked in.
ÂÂ
It took a minute for her eyes to get accustomed to the light in the building.
Nancy glanced over at the counter where the owner, Matt, was busy helping a customer.
She caught his eye, and he gave her a big smile and a wave.
Nancy felt her stomach do a quick flip-flop and her whole body tingled, the little hairs at the back of her neck standing up. She felt herself grinning like a silly girl, and wondered why coming here and chatting with Matt always seemed to make her feel better.
She waved back at him.
Nancy walked around the store while Matt finished with his customer, shooting little, furtive looks at him, and remembered when she first stopped in here. She used to walk her dog by the store almost every day. Once, for some reason Nancy couldn’t remember, she’d peeked inside. Matt had been standing behind the counter, right where the customer was standing now, and he’d had the strangest look on his face. She’d thought about going in to see if he was all right, but the damn dog pulled her away. She’d felt guilty for leaving, because he’d looked so funny, and had gone back to see him later that afternoon to make sure he was okay. While she was there, Matt and one of his employees had helped her with some silly thing, until a gorgeous young blonde breezed in, kissed him passionately, and whisked him away.
Just like in the romance novels she liked to read. Except usually in her books, it was the other way around. For some reason she couldn’t quite explain, Nancy felt a little jealous twinge at the thought of Matt with that woman. For months she’d wondered what they did that night. She often imagined them together, going back to Matt’s house and making love.
Except in her fantasy, the gorgeous young blonde was really Nancy, and Matt was having sex with her.
Matt finished ringing up his sale, and a bell jingled as the customer left the store. Nancy blinked and looked around. She was the only other person left in the store now, and suddenly the butterflies in her stomach flip-flopped again.
She grabbed a random book off the shelf without bothering to look at it, and tried to casually make her way up to the counter.
"Hey, Nancy." Matt always seemed excited to see her.
Nancy plopped the book onto the counter. "Hi!"
"Wow," Matt looked her up and down, smiling. "You look great."
Nancy felt herself blushing furiously. "Oh, come on."
"No, no, really. You changed your hair, didn’t you?"
She self-consciously patted her hair. "You like it?"
Matt gave her a big smile that sent the butterflies shooting around in her tummy.
"New glasses, too," he paused, arched his eyebrow at her. "And perfume?"
Wow. Nancy’d forgotten about the perfume. That had been a spur of the moment thing. She’d dabbed some on just before she left the house.
Did I do that on purpose, she wondered?
Maybe.
"So what are you up to today, young lady?"
"Well, my husband’s out of town on business." What am I up to? she thought. I don’t have any idea. Nancy shrugged, and said, "I’ve got a few weeks to myself and didn’t really have anything to do tonight, so I thought I’d catch up on my reading."
Matt looked at the book lying on the counter. He grinned. "So you ran up here for a copy of ‘Hot Young Pony Boys in Love’?"
"Oh..." Nancy felt heat flush from the top of her head down to her feet. She managed to stammer, "I...I must’ve grabbed the wrong book. I..."
"Hey, don’t worry." Matt patted her hand. "Not that this isn’t probably a great book, if you’re a closeted gay man with a teenage boy fixation." He studied her for a second. "But for you, I think maybe something not quite so steamy. I’m sure can find you something more your speed, okay?
Nancy grinned sheepishly as she followed Matt back over to the book racks.
Jesus, she thought. Way to make an impression.
Matt was busy thumbing through books, mumbling under his breath. "Ah. Here we go." He pulled out a thick paperback, handed it to her. "I think this would be a good choice. You’ll like this one."
"Okay, I’ll take it." Nancy marched back to the counter, digging change out of her purse.
Matt followed her at a leisurely pace and eased back behind the register, staring at her quizzically. "You sure? Maybe you should read the cover, see if it’s something you really want to buy."
"No, no, if you say so, I’m sure I’ll like it."
Matt raised his eyebrows. He was about to say something else when the bell rang again and one of his employees walked in. Nancy wasn’t sure if she should be relieved for the interruption or not.
"Hey, Jorge," Matt said. "Glad you’re here."
Jorge set a backpack on the counter and shrugged out of his jacket. "Hey Matty. Man, it’s warm out there."
"Spring has sprung. I’ve been sneezing all day."
"Yeah, me too." Jorge nodded to Nancy, folded his jacket and looked around. "Anybody else here yet?"
Matt nodded towards the back of the store. "Yeah. Mike and Sarah are in the warehouse, and Jimmie’s counting out his till."
"Should I grab a new drawer?"
"No." Matt tapped a pen on the cash register. "You can go ahead and work on this one tonight."
"Cool. Let me shove this stuff in my locker and I’ll be right back."
Nancy handed Matt some cash and Matt rang up her purchase as Jorge wandered off. Matt gave her some change and a receipt, and put the book in a bag.
"So that’s it for tonight, huh?"
She paused, looked at the bag. She realized she had no idea what she’d just bought. "I guess so. I lead a really exciting life, huh?"
Matt hunkered down on the counter. "I’ve got an idea."
"What’s that?" Nancy took the bag and accidentally touched Matt’s hand. Her stomach did another little flip, and she felt a warm, tingling sensation, like pins and needles, shoot up her arm. Her legs suddenly felt rubbery, and the store spun for a second. Then she had the bag in her hand, and the room snapped back into focus. The tingling sensation stayed though, settling down in her stomach.
"As soon as Jorge gets back I’m finished here for tonight, and I don’t really have any plans either." He pointed at the bag. "I wondered if you’d like to postpone your reading for a bit and join me for dinner?"
Nancy’s mouth dropped open, and she managed to stammer, "You mean, like a date?"
Matt laughed good-naturedly. "I mean, like having dinner. What do you say?"
ÂÂ
ÂÂ
About and hour later, Nancy found herself downtown, seated across from Matt at a swanky new French restaurant, feeling a little stunned.
Matt had followed her home so she could drop off her car. She gave him a quick tour of her house, changed clothes in a rush, and they ran back out to his car. As she buckled into the seat next to him, Matt told her about a great restaurant that a friend of his just opened and thought they should try.
And here she was, sitting across from this young hunk. He’d been the perfect gentleman all night, holding doors open for her, helping her with her seat, helping her decide what to order. Dinner was fabulous, and he’d listened intently as Nancy babbled on about Jack and the state of her marriage, and she’d listened happily all through dessert as Matt told her about his vacation plans to spend spring break visiting some friends in California.
Nancy couldn’t remember the last time Jack had taken her out for a nice dinner, much less paid attention to anything she had to say.
Honestly, she thought, I can’t remember the last time I’ve had such a good time.
She studied Matt for a second, and amended that last thought.
I can’t remember the last time I’ve been this attracted to someone, either.
After dessert, Matt paid the check, and as he helped her into her jacket, Nancy realized she didn’t want the night to end. He held his arm out for her as they left the restaurant, and she wrapped herself around him, smiling up at him as they walked back to the parking lot.
Tonight, she realized, she felt like that twenty year old buried inside her just might pop back out.
A man brushed by them, causing Nancy to break out of her bliss, and he walked into an adult video store. The sign above the door read: Angie’s - Lingerie and More!
Nancy shook her head. "Honestly! I can’t believe anyone would want to go into one of those places."
Matt looked up at the sign, then back at her. "What? You mean you’ve never gone into a sex shop before?"
"God, no!"
He laughed. "Why not?"
She gaped at him, and sputtered. "Because...because I... Well." She shrugged her shoulders. "Because only perverts go into places like that."
He laughed again. "This is coming from the woman who was going to buy the gay stud porno book." Matt stepped over to the door and opened it, waved for her to join him. "Here, let’s go in."
In the back of Nancy’s mind, a little voice was trying to be heard, overriding her good, common sense.
"Oh. Oh no. You’ve got to be kidding. I’m not going in there."
He peeked inside, then took her gently by the elbow. "I don’t see any perverts running amok in there. C’mon. It’ll be an adventure. Didn’t you say your husband’s always telling you that you should try new things?"
"I don’t think he meant to hang out with people buying smut."
"If you’ve never tried green eggs, Sam..."
Nancy tried to stand her ground, but giggled.
"C’mon. Have I ever led you wrong?" Matt gave her a puppy look.
The little voice in her head wondered, what would the girls at the gym do? She thought she knew that answer.
Nancy sighed, relenting. "Oh, all right. But just for a minute."
The little voice gave her a pat on the back. She was going to do something crazy and spontaneous!
Matt grinned and led her inside.
ÂÂ
Nancy clung to Matt and followed him down a short hallway that opened up into a large, spacious warehouse divided into two floors, with another room at the back of the strore. She looked out over shelves and racks packed full of stuff that she never dreamed existed. A counter full of colorful bottles, magazines and sex toys was located right next to the hallway. Nancy gazed around, taking everything in. It wasn’t at all like she’d expected. The store was bright and clean, with several couples wandering around, shopping.
An attractive young woman working at the counter nodded to Matt, who smiled back.
"Hey, Angie!"
"Matt! Long time, no see!" The young woman broke into a huge smile and bounded around the counter. She flung herself at Matt, almost bowling him over, and threw her arms around him. "You look so fucking hot, I could just eat you up!"
Matt smiled at Nancy as the woman broke her clinch. "Nancy, this is Angela. She owns this fine establishment."
Nancy stood, shocked. Angela was one of the most beautiful women she’d ever seen. She was tall and thin, but shapely, with a lions mane of curly, bright red hair. She wore a long, green velvet dress, and black knee-high boots with long, spiked heels. Her full lips were just a shade darker than her hair, and when she smiled at Matt, her entire face lit up.
For the second time that day, Nancy felt a pang of jealousy run through her body. She suddenly felt very old and plain.
Matt untangled himself and Angela turned a pair of intense green eyes on Nancy, taking her in. She set her hands on her hips and flipped her hair over her shoulder. "So. What are you two doing tonight, popping in out of the blue?"
"Nancy’s never been into a place like this before. I thought we’d just have a look around."
A customer wandered over to the counter, looking for help. Angela smiled at Nancy again. "Well. You kids have fun." She gave Matt a quick kiss on the cheek and bounded back behind the counter. "Just yell if you need anything. I’ll only be here for a few more minutes, but Tammy and Candy are both around here somewhere."
Matt took Nancy by the arm again, walking her into the store. Nancy looked up at him, then back at Angela. "So you two know each other?"
He grinned back. "Angela and I are, umn...acquainted. Yeah."
Huh, Nancy wondered. What exactly does that mean?
She looked around. "This isn’t as bad as I thought."
He laughed. "Angela doesn’t tolerate the sleazy thing, with guys in overcoats slinking around exposing themselves to helpless young women." He ruffled her hair, then his face got serious for a second. "But there are some places like this here in town that a woman probably shouldn’t go. At least not by herself."
He stopped at the end of an aisle, filled with adult toys. Nancy’s eyes popped open, and Matt grinned again.
"But she’s definitely in the sex business."
Nancy wandered down the aisle, taking everything in. Boxes of condoms, rubber dolls, underwear, handcuffs, bondage equipment, rubber penises of every shape, size and color, everything she’d heard the girls at the gym giggling about, right in front of her eyes.
"What do people use all this stuff for?"
Matt laughed again. Nancy liked his laugh, it wasn’t mocking, like Jack’s when she’d ask a question.
"You can probably guess. Most of it’s pretty self-explanatory, I think."
She stopped and stared at a display, and Matt walked up behind her.
"You like that?"
Nancy was looking at a box with a picture of a half-naked man, his hand shoved down his underpants, advertising the Dong-O-Rama, ‘the most realistic vibrating penis money can buy! A whopping 8 inches of excitement to satisfy every taste!’
She looked at Matt, and blushed again. "What? No...I, uh..." she stuttered. "It’s...huge."
"You think?" Matt lifted the box, turned it on it’s side. "Huh, not a bad price." He looked back at Nancy with a wicked grin. "When’s your birthday?"
"What? Oh, no, you can’t be serious..."
Nancy jumped after him as he tucked the box under his arm, turned and walked back to the counter, whistling.
"Matt! Wait...wait!"
She tried to grab him, but he was already handing the box to a pale girl dressed in tight, black vinyl hip-huggers and a matching bra, with stiletto-heeled boots laced halfway up her long legs and a thick leather dog collar buckled around her neck.
"Hi Candy."
Candy smiled over the register at Matt as she opened the box and pulled out a big, thick dildo.
"Hey, Matt. Nice choice."
Nancy clutched at Matt’s arm, mortified, as the girl dropped a pair of batteries into a small, plastic box attached to a cord that ran into the base of the dildo.
"Thanks. This is an early birthday present for my friend here."
Candy grinned at Nancy. "This is just to make sure everything works okay, ‘cause we can’t take this back if it’s broken." She twisted a little dial on the box, and the dildo began to vibrate.
Nancy stared at the floor, trying hard not to look.
"Perfect." Candy turned off the vibrator, packed it back up in its box, and scanned the purchase with a beep. "Do you two need any ‘lube with that?" She pointed to a display of squeeze tubes under the glass counter. "We’ve got a special, two-for-one this week."
"Sounds great."
"All-righty. That’ll be $59.97."
Matt handed Candy some bills and she gave him his change, then dropped the box and two hot-pink squeeze tubes into a plain black plastic bag and handed it over the counter.
Candy smiled as Nancy slowly took the bag with a trembling hand. "You have fun with that tonight!"
"Um, okay. Thanks." Somehow, Nancy managed not to drop the bag.
Candy pointed to a ledge over the front door. "Matt, did you check out Angela’s new display? She did it just for you."
Nancy looked up. A series of female-shaped mannequins posed in various stages of dress, starting with a fully dressed mannequin in a black suit and skirt, ending with one wearing just a set of lingerie.
When Nancy glanced back, Matt was looking at her with a little smile on his face.
"What?" She said.
"That," he cocked his head at the display, "would look great on you."
She almost floated all the way back to the car.
ÂÂ
Matt walked Nancy to her door. She turned toward him and fidgeted with her shopping bags, uncertain of what she should do now.
He smiled down at her, and gave her a gentle hug and a small peck on her cheek, sending tendrils of warm, tingling pleasure through her. Nancy awkwardly tried to hug him back, but the bags got in her way.
"Thank you for dinner. I had fun."
He laughed again and rubbed the spot on her cheek where his lips had touched. "Good. I’m glad."
They shared a small silence. Nancy shuffled her feet, the happy-voice part of her wondering if she should ask him in for a drink.
That’s just crazy.
The Happy Nancy tried to shush another little voice that suddenly popped into her head, reminding her about her husband.
Jack was probably working hard tonight, it said. He’s all alone is some strange city, trusting you here at home. And you want to invite in some young guy you don’t really even know for a drink?
But a little drink would be okay, she thought. He’s been so nice, I should do something for him...
"Would you..." She could barely hear her own voice, but Matt was already backing away, to his car.
"You have a great night Nancy. Sweet dreams."
Nancy watched him walk to his car, mentally kicking herself.
Too late, you missed that chance, said the Happy Voice. It didn’t sound quite so happy now.
Nancy shook out her keys and unlocked the door, stepping into her empty house. She turned off the porchlight, and saw Matt wave to her from his car. She waved back and with a burst of energy, hip-checked the door closed. She leaned against the door for a moment, her eyes closed, then wandered into the hallway.
Nancy made it about halfway down the hall when a strange tingling sensation started burning at the back of her neck.
Then the front door banged open,
She jumped, and spun around. The door was wide open. Hadn’t she locked it? She walked back to the door and peered outside. Nobody there. Matt’s car was already gone, too.
She shut the door again, turning the deadbolt.
There, she thought. Locked now.
She walked back down the hallway into her bedroom, and tossed the bags on the edge of the bed. She walked into the bathroom, and the two voices played Good cop - Bad cop in her head while she brushed her teeth.
You’re married, said one. And why would he be interested in you, anyway? You’re probably twice his age.
Nancy peered at herself in the mirror, scrubbing away, looking at the age lines slowly creeping into her face.
I don’t know how old he is. And he asked me out to dinner tonight, she thought. Why would he do that?
Because he felt sorry for you.
But, what about after, at the store?
He could have any woman there, the voice said. You saw how the redhead looked at him. She basically threw herself at him. He even said they knew each other.
Nancy spit, disgusted with herself. She rinsed her mouth and spit again, put back her toothbrush.
Maybe I should’ve thrown myself at him when he tried to kiss me, she thought.
So he could’ve laughed at you?
Nancy groaned at the thought.
She walked out of the bathroom, kicking off her shoes. She slipped her blouse off over her head, unbuttoned her pants and pushed them to the floor. She stood in her panties and bra, the same pair she’d bought for Jack, and inspected herself in the full-length mirror standing by the dresser, in front of the bed. She turned this way and that, cupping her breasts.
Maybe not too bad yet, she thought.
Despite having had two children and lugging around some extra weight for the last few years, her breasts and belly didn’t have any stretch marks. In the push-up bra, her heavy breasts almost even looked perky. And her tummy still had a little pooch, but her waist was slimming down. She turned and looked at her ass. Not so good there, she thought. That’s where most of the weight had settled, there and in her thighs. But she could see some muscle tone making a comeback, fighting the bits of cellulite spreading around the tops of her legs.
Maybe good enough for Matt?
Nancy remembered Angela again, with her tight young body, and sighed, dropping onto the side of the bed. The mattress bounced under her, knocking her bags to the floor. She bent over and picked up the bag closest to her.
The black bag.
As she sat back up, the vibrator and two pink tubes dropped out into her lap.
Nancy set the bag back down on the bed beside her and stared at the box in her lap for a long minute.
Remember Jack, the voice said.
Then she grabbed the box and opened it up.
ÂÂ
Nancy pulled out the vibrator with shaking hands and set the box down on the edge of the bed.
She never noticed it tip over the side and fall to the floor. All her attention was on the massive chunk of rubber clenched tightly in her trembling, sweaty fist. She examined the ridges and veins molded into the vibrator, the small hole at the tip. She ran her hand down the shaft until both her fists touched. It’s so big, she thought. And heavy. She touched it’s base where the cord was attached, molded into the likeness of a man’s scrotum.
She groped on the bed for the little control box and turned it on, using the dial like she’d seen the employee at the store do. It buzzed to life in her hands, causing her to gasp. Her mouth was dry, and Nancy licked her lips and glanced around, checking to make sure she was alone.
A vague warning bell seemed to go off for a second, that little voice still trying to get her to listen to common sense.
She giggled a little at her foolishness. She looked around for the box to put the thing away, and the little voice seemed to sigh at her first rational decision of the night.
Then she looked into the mirror.
She saw herself, sitting on the bed with her legs spread slightly, breathing rapidly, her face and chest flushed. Her nipples were hard, poking against the material of her bra, and she felt a warm wetness spreading into her panties.
And then she saw - or thought she saw - Matt, in the mirror, standing in front of her, naked, her hands gripping his hard, pulsing penis, the tip hovering just near her face.
Nancy blinked.
The image was gone when she opened her eyes, and she was just holding the vibrator again, still buzzing away.
"Oh God." A wave of horniness washed over her, and her panties were suddenly soaking wet. She licked her lips again, and closed her eyes.
Suddenly, it was like he was there again.
This time Nancy didn’t open her eyes. She pretended to reach out for his penis, gripping him, running her hands over its length. She pressed it against her face, rubbing it back and forth over her mouth, licking the shaft with her tongue. She thought she could feel it, warm and throbbing against her lips. She kissed it, running her tongue over the mushroom-shaped head, letting the tip fill her mouth.
And then she was blindly groping for one of the bottles of lubricant.
Nancy knocked one tube to the floor but found the other and popped open the top. She vaguely realized she had no idea how to use the stuff, but managed to squeeze a bunch of goo out into her hand, and she rubbed the jelly over the vibrator. Then she spread out on the bed, pulling her wet panties away from her crotch with one hand, pressing the tip of the vibrator against the soft lips of her vagina with the other. She rubbed it along her clit and felt a jolt of pleasure, causing another flood of moisture to seep down her crotch.
She heard herself moan, and she pulled her legs up and wrapped her hands around her ass to get a better grip on the vibrator. She pushed it gently against her pussy, feeling it slide slowly into her, filling her. She gasped as she took the first few inches, her back arching. The dildo slipped in almost without her help, as if it had found a life of its own, and was hunting for the place it was meant to be.
Nancy’s hand flopped around next to her, searching for the control box. She found it and flicked the speed dial. The vibrator roared to life inside her, sending waves of pleasure through her body. Nancy felt her toes curling and tried to imagine Matt leaning over her with her legs wrapped tightly around his neck, slowly pushing himself deep into her body, making love to her. Nancy felt her hips buck, and she cried out as the vibrator wormed further into her.
She ran her hands up to her breasts, leaving a trail of shiny, wet lubricant over her belly, and imagined Matt squeezing them through her bra. She sighed and her body relaxed, and the last few inches of the dildo slid into her pussy. Nancy felt the latex balls pressing against her ass as she played with her tits, wondering what it would feel like to have Matt licking and biting her nipples while he rode her. She could almost feel his hands running over her body, taking her arms by the wrists and pulling them over her head, pinning them down into the mattress. Her hips started churning, and she thrust her hands over her head, through a hole in the headboard, imagining Matt was tying her to the bed.
Nancy groaned, and she bucked and writhed, her eyes squeezed shut, head thrown back into her pillows. She thought she could feel the vibrator slowly moving in and out of her pussy as she ground her hips, pushing her ass hard into the bed.
And then she was coming.
Nancy felt her orgasm building, starting in her fingers and toes, and suddenly she felt like she was exploding. She tossed and turned as she came, her wrists stuck in place.
And then she flipped over onto her stomach.
Nancy thought she felt Matt’s strong hands circle her waist, raising her hips up, and she moaned again as the dildo was pushed harder into her. She imagined the hands pulling her panties away from her butt, and imagined she could feel the tip of the lubricant tube pushed into her asshole, the cool jelly spreading inside her.
The little voice of concern nipped around the edge of her mind, wondering how this could be happening. She vaguely realized she hadn’t turned over by herself, but her body was burning up with lust now, and she just squirmed, gasping over and over, "Oh, yes, fuck me, fuck me, fuck my ass..."
And then there was a pressure against her bottom, strong and insistent. Nancy felt her asshole stretch, like she was trying to use the bathroom. She felt the bed shift and her butt was jerked higher into the air as something big and hard slowly slid into her asshole. The sudden pressure caused her eyes to pop open, and she cried out and tried to turn around. But she was held still; she couldn’t move.
She could just make out her bottom in the mirror behind her, wriggling, stuck up in the air, the vibrator peeking out of her crotch.
There was nothing else there.
But the pressure increased. Nancy felt something thick rubbing the thin layer of skin between her ass and the vibrator wedged deep in her pussy. She thought she felt strong hands slip under her body, cupping and squeezing her breasts, pulling her bra down and slowly rubbing her nipples.
The pressure against her bottom was relentless and she felt her body expand, wondering if she would split open.
Nancy felt a hand slide down her moist, sticky belly, slipping into the top edge of her panties and down further, until it cupped her pussy. She felt fingers play with her clit, sending a long burst of pleasure through her. She cried out again and buried her face deep into her pillows. She could vaguely hear a soft, wet, slurping sound as the pressure in her bowels began easing slowly in and out.
She swore she heard a man groan with pleasure.
Suddenly, in the mirror, she could see him again, almost as clear as day. Matt was kneeling behind her, resting his body over hers, his face buried against her neck and his arms wrapped tightly around her waist. She could see the muscles in his back and his ass moving as he slowly fucked her from behind.
She heard herself moaning.
And just like that, she was coming again, the orgasm burning through her, and she shoved herself against him, wanting more of him, begging him to fuck her ass. She tried to pull her hands out from under the headboard to hold him while she came, but the weight of his body pumping against hers pushed her arms even further through. She felt skin peel from her forearms as they scraped against the wood.
"M-M-Matt..."
She managed to gasp his name as the pain from her abused arms coupled with the pleasure from her orgasm, and her body surrendered to him, her orgasm coming in waves, leaving her trembling and gasping for breath. She looked behind her again, into the mirror.
Again she seemed alone in the bedroom, but her bottom was still jutting up in the air, shaking. She could still feel the pressure, the fullness moving in and out of her ass, and her body was pushed steadily, rythmically forward, her face mashing into her pillows.
She was exhausted, and her eyelids fluttered as her orgasm continued. She couldn’t stay awake now, her body felt heavy as lead. Nancy distinctly felt a pair of hands grab her ass and squeeze, heard the low, gutteral growl of a man in orgasm, and then her body was brutally shoved forward.
As her forehead smacked up against the headboard, Nancy vaguely wondered if she was going crazy.
ÂÂ
Matt arched his back, his eyes closed tight, and smiled happily. He shoved himself hard up against Nancy’s ass, enjoying his orgasm, letting it sweep him away. The dildo buried in her pussy vibrated pleasantly against his dick, and he felt her sphincter muscles clenching around him, trying to push him out of her ass.
Matt looked down at her asshole, stretched out as wide as her forearm. He grinned and gave her butt cheeks a vigorous massage.
Nancy had moaned his name and passed out just before he came. He watched her face while his dick slowly softened inside her, and ran his hands over her panties.
Cute, he thought. Older women seemed to always wear nice, flowery bra’s, but the lacy panties had been a surprise.
When he dropped Nancy off and kissed her goodnight, Matt had sent a little wave of control over her. She’d been pretty easy to manipulate during their date. He’d only needed to give her a suggestion here and there along the way, wanting her to make her own decisions, and then running with the choices she’d made. But he’d given her that one shot so he could follow her into the house without her seeing him. He let her get inside and shut her door, and he watched her through the window until she moved down the hallway. Then he’d thrown open the door and slipped into the house as she rushed back. He was inside, standing just next to Nancy when she shut the door again and locked it.
Then he just followed her into the bedroom and he’d waited while she brushed her teeth, quietly arguing with herself over whether or not he really liked her.
That had made him smile.
He watched her take off her clothes and tried to keep his dick from exploding through his pants as she examined herself in the mirror. When she sat down on the bed and knocked the packages to the floor, he’d almost given her another dose of control, but he waited. If Nancy had picked up the bag with the book, he’d have left her alone for the night.
But she didn’t.
She’d reached down, completely ignoring the book, and picked up the bag with the dildo.
Matt knew he had her then, so he’d taken off his own clothes, and his dick quietly whispered its thanks to him.
Don’t mention it, partner, he thought.
And he let his control slip, just a little, as she played with her new toy, and smiled when she looked up and saw him in the mirror. He watched her eyes glaze over with the fantasy she was creating, watched her slip the dildo into her pussy and start fucking it like someone was really riding her. When she pinned her hands above her head, Matt knew she was pretending to be tied down.
He watched her squirm on the bed, and listened to her little panting breaths as her orgasm boiled over.
Didn’t want to hang out with the perverts, huh Nancy?
Matt grabbed an ankle and flipped her over, crawling up onto the bed. He pulled her hips higher into the air, jabbed the open tube of lubricant into her asshole and squirted it full of the slippery liquid.
Then he started fucking her.
Her ass was tight as hell, but her body had relaxed with her first orgasm, and the lubricant helped him ease into her. Halfway in, he laid on top of her so he could get a better handful of her breasts. She’d surprised him by pushing her butt hard against him, forcing him almost all the way inside her. He let her see him in the mirror again as he fucked her.
Matt knew he probably didn’t have to go to the trouble of hiding himself at all, and that she’d been on the verge of asking him inside earlier.
But this was so much more fun.
And then she came. He felt warm fluid running down his legs as she ground her butt in circles against him. With the combination of her ass muscles clenching him and the vibrator buzzing against the bottom of his dick, Matt knew that he wouldn’t be able to last much longer either.
And then it was his turn. He heard himself groan as he shot his load into her ass and he leaned into her, spreading her butt wider with his hands, pushing himself all the way inside.
Now Matt grinned at the sight of her body underneath him, crumpled into the bed.
He pulled his dick out of her ass with a wet slurping sound, and turned her back over. Her arm flopped over her heavy breasts, smashing them flat.
Nancy was out cold, probably for the night. She was going to be sore tomorrow, and her forearms were really going to hurt; they were scraped raw and were turning a nice shade of purple from being rubbed against the wood edge of her headboard. She had a sticky-wet layer of lubricant and cum smeared over her belly and between her legs.
Matt looked at the vibrator, shoved as far into her pussy as it would go. He thought about yanking it out but decided to leave it. She could get it out when she woke up. Instead, he turned the speed up as high as it would go, grinning at it buzzed around in her crotch.
He wondered what was going to be running through her head tomorrow.
Better to let her sleep for now. She was going to need all the rest she could get. He had a feeling she was going to experiencing a few life changing events over the next few days.
Probably starting with another visit to Angela tomorrow.
Whistling, Matt padded into the bathroom to clean up.
ÂÂ
Nancy woke to sunshine streaming into the bedroom, a pounding bladder and a strange buzzing sound.
She groaned and rolled over, tried to stand up. Something tangled around her legs and she almost fell, but managed to catch herself on the edge of the bed.
Groggily, she tried to push the bedcovers away from her, but they were already lying on the floor. She looked down and saw the cord wrapped around her legs, and what she’d done last night came back to her in a rush.
"Oh my God," she mumbled.
She started to untangle herself from the cord, found the vibrator still wedged into her vagina, humming merrily away. She felt sticky from all the goop smeared over her hands and legs, and a huge wet spot covered the place on the bed where she’d passed out. Nancy looked at her arms and gasped. They were black and blue, with large, bloody scrapes running from her wrists almost to her elbows. Her body hurt all over, and her bottom seemed especially sore.
She felt like she had to poop, badly, and the pressure from her bladder doubled as she bent over and unwrapped the cord.
Yuck, she thought. I need to get this thing out of me.
Nancy turned off the vibrator, stood up, and almost fell over again. She steadied herself, braced a hand against the bed, spread her trembling legs and tried to get a grip on the base of the dildo. It was still lathered with the wet, sticky lubricant, and was pushed so far inside her Nancy couldn’t get a grip.
"Shit."
She tried again, realized she couldn’t get it out that way. So she wound the cord in her hand a couple times, braced herself again, squatted as far down as she could, and pulled. The dildo slowly oozed out, and Nancy pulled a little harder. She shut her eyes, feeling it slide free, until finally all eight, dripping inches swung free in her hand. She tossed it onto the wet spot on the bed and steadied herself, then wobbled into the bathroom to pee.
Nancy emerged from the bathroom about twenty minutes later followed by a cloud of steam, wrapping a bath towel around her head, with another tied around her chest. She looked at the mess she’d made of the bedroom and sighed.
Then the phone on the night-table rang.
She let the answering machine pick up. After the beep, she recognized her husbands voice.
"Hi honey, it’s Jack."
He sounded annoyed, put out. He usually did when he called. Nancy could’ve sworn she heard a woman giggling quietly in the background.
"I just wanted to apologize for not calling last night, but I got, uh, a little tied up. Heh."
That time she was sure of it. And now there was more than one voice, and definitely female.
She heard Jack put his hand over the phone and shush whoever it was.
"Anyway, hope you had a good night. Everything’s looking, uh, up, so far this trip. I’ll call you back later. ‘Bye."
She stared at the phone, shocked.
Not that she hadn’t suspected him of having an affair. She wasn’t a stupid person. She knew the signs, and the fact was, they rarely had sex anymore.
But now she was sure of it, and probably with more than just one person, too, by the sound of it. And to call her while he was with someone else?
That was low.
For a second she felt like falling on the bed and crying.
Then she remembered last night.
She thought of Matt, walking her to her door. Kissing her. Now that she thought about it for a second, he’d been flirting with her all night. Hadn’t he?
Nancy smacked her forehead.
She wasn’t stupid, no. But she’d tried to be faithful to her husband for so long, she couldn’t see the signs that were right in front of her face.
Nancy realized that she was really attracted to Matt, and was sure that was due partly because he’d been friendly to her. All those trips to his store, all his smiles, talking with her when she didn’t have anyone else to listen...
All those stories about her being home, alone, her husband off on business...
She smacked her head again.
He probably thinks I want to have an affair!
Nancy realized suddenly that if she’d asked him in for that drink last night, she probably wouldn’t have needed to use that...vibrator...that he’d bought...for...her.
"Omigod. I could’ve had sex last night," she mumbled to herself.
She paced for a second, thinking. Jack’s voice ran through her head.
Do something fun and exciting. Do something new .
All right Jack, she thought, pulling open her dresser. She dug around and found another pair of the cute, new panties and a fresh, sexy bra.
She dropped the towel to the floor, and slipped on the panties. She snapped on the bra and fished around again, finding a comfortable, long-sleeve t-shirt and an old, faded pair of Levi’s. She dressed as quickly as her sore body would allow, brushed her hair, and took stock of herself in the mirror.
I just won’t be doing it with you.
She decided she felt pretty good, and she didn’t think she looked half bad.
Time to put that theory to the test, she thought. Just need to make one pit-stop first.
Then she slipped on a pair of leather sandals, grabbed her purse and walked out the door.
ÂÂ
Nancy retraced her steps from last night, and finally wound up back at Angela’s store, staring up at the wall display.
"Hi, can I help you?" said a familiar voice from behind her.
Nancy turned to find Angela smiling at her, appraising her with those bright green eyes of hers.
The nervous butterflies came back suddenly, causing Nancy’s stomach to flitter around.
"Hi. Um, I was here for a little while last night with a, uh, friend of mine, and he introduced us?"
"You were with Matt."
"Right. I’m N..."
"Nancy. Right. I remember." Angela looked up at the display, her hands on her hips, shaking out her long, curly hair.
That little pang of jealousy snuck back. Nancy wondered if Matt had touched that hair, or those hips.
"So you had so much fun last night, you decided to come back by yourself?"
"Well..." Nancy tried.
Angela kept talking. "I noticed Matt bought you a little gift before you left."
Nancy blushed. She tried to ignore her burning cheeks and pointed to the display. "I came back because Matt said he really liked that outfit."
There, Little Miss Cute-and-Perky Redhead. That should let you know which one of us Matt wants, she thought. She tried to return Angela’s steady gaze and look casual and confident.
"And I bet he thought you’d look fabulous in it?" Angela’s eyes never wavered.
"Um, well, yes, he did," she took a deep breath. "I’d like to buy the whole outfit."
"I see." Angela smirked. "You want to buy it to please him?"
That was an odd way of putting it, Nancy thought. "Yes, um, I think so."
Angela grabbed Nancy’s hand, pulled it up so she could see her wedding ring. She raised her eyebrows and said, "You’re sure?"
Nancy looked at the ring and thought about all it had meant to her, once, even just a day or two ago. Then she looked Angela dead in the eye.
"Yes."
Angela’s face changed, and she took Nancy’s hand and threw her arm around her, like they were old friends.
"Okay." Angela waved up at the mannequins. "But you’ve got to realize, that’s just a sample. All the clothing we sell here is custom made to fit, and that particular dress suit with all of the accessories and lingerie runs about $2500.00."
Nancy felt her mouth drop open. She stared at Angela, stunned.
"You...you’re kid..." she stammered. Angela grinned.
"Nope. Not kidding." She looked up again. "I had a feeling Matt would get a rise out of that outfit. I don’t think he knows it, but he’s got a deep, repressed fetish for the mature business woman look."
She looked back at Nancy, who was struggling to regain her composure. "A little surprised, huh?"
Nancy nodded.
"We don’t sell anything off the rack here. Even the lingerie is tailored, just for you." Angela tossed her hair again. "And him," she added.
Nancy could feel a deep disappointment, a sudden hollowness in the pit of her stomach, like the bottom dropping out of an elevator.
"I don’t have that kind of money. I’m sorry, I probably just wasted your time for nothing."
Angela smiled. "Don’t be silly."
"No, really. My husb...I mean, I can’t spend that much money for clothes." Not even for Matt, she thought.
Angela looked at her and paused, considering. "For a friend of Matt, maybe I can work something out."
"What do you mean? I can’t..."
"Listen, why don’t you come back to my office with me, and we’ll take some measurements." Angela put her fingers over Nancy’s lips as she started to protest, and Nancy felt a deep, warm, relaxing tingle run through her body at the touch. "Don’t worry, we can figure out what this will cost you later."
"You’re sure?"
Angela turned Nancy around and guided her past the counter, to a double-door that opened into a dark hallway.
"I’m very sure."
Nancy breathed a sigh of relief, and thought of Matt’s face when he looked at her here last night.
This might actually work out, she thought. I might still be able to surprise him.
Angela snapped her fingers at a pretty young lady dressed in bondage gear working the counter.
"Rachel, send Candy back with a tape measure, right away."
"Yes, Angela," said the clerk.
Angela smiled at the back of Nancy’s head as she guided her down the hall. And what price will be high enough for you to pay for Matt’s attention, she wondered?
Angela gently squeezed Nancy’s arm, and her smile grew.
But it never touched her eyes.
ÂÂ
"So how do you know Matt?"
Nancy was standing in Angela’s office, dressed in just her panties and her bra. Angela asked Nancy to strip while they waited for Candy, then folded her clothes and carefully placed them on an old, victorian-style love seat; and now she was pacing the room, giving Candy and another employee, Cindy, instructions as they took Nancy’s measurements.
"I shop at his store a lot." Nancy looked around in amazement. The office was buried at the very back of the warehouse. Nancy guessed it was easily as large as her basement at home, and it was decorated like something out of a gothic movie with dark, lush, velvet covered furniture.
Angela stopped circling the room and sat on the red velvet couch in front of Nancy, leaned back and crossed her legs. Nancy had to pry her eyes away from the flash of creamy white skin and forced herself to look Angela in the eyes.
"How about you? Where did two meet?"
Candy pushed Nancy’s arms out to her sides and wrapped a tape measure around her waist as the other girl scribbled numbers down in a notepad.
Angela smiled and stretched, cat-like.
"Do you really want to know?"
Did she? Angela’s questions always seemed to jump out of left field, and Nancy had the uncomfortable feeling that Angela knew exactly what she was thinking all the time. But for some reason, Nancy had to know what their relationship was.
"Sure."
Nancy thought she caught a strange look pass between Candy and Cindy.
"A mutual...friend of ours introduced us some time ago."
"Oh," said Nancy. She wasn’t sure what that meant either. "Like a blind date?"
Angela laughed. "Not quite. The gentleman, Melvin, owns a business, something like this one, but he also manufactures...certain sorts of toys and paraphernalia."
Candy squatted down in front of Nancy and ran the tape measure up the inside of her leg. A chill ran through Nancy as the girls fingers brushed against the soft, sensitive skin at the top of her thigh, and Candy held the tape with her fist pressed gently against Nancy’s crotch.
Nancy swallowed around a dry throat.
"Like the things you sell?"
Angela played with a lock of fiery red hair, wrapping it around her finger.
"He makes very high-quality bondage gear, for very, very discriminating adults. We sell some of his nicer equipment here, and he supplies all of our handcuffs and the like. And he sells a lot of our clothing at his shop. We have a nice...working relationship." She smiled. "Anyway, he sold Matt some gear for Matt’s first pet, and..."
Nancy was having a hard time concentrating. She felt like she was wading through a thick fog. Candy was dressed in nothing but a black silk teddy and stiletto heeled boots, and Nancy found herself staring down Candy’s cleavage as the girl worked.
Candy noticed and smiled.
Nancy flushed again, and wondered if the girl ever took off that dog collar. Then Angela’s last comment jerked her back to attention.
Pet? What kind of pet did Matt have?
"...Melvin thought enough of Matt to introduce us," Angela continued, "and now Matt buys clothing for all his pets here."
Nancy was really confused. How many dogs did Matt have?
"Matt dresses up his dog, er, dogs, in...in lingerie and stuff?"
Angela looked surprised, and the girls giggled.
"Sorry, what?"
"His dog...I mean, I didn’t know he had a pet, but that’s kind of weird."
A slow smile spread across Angela’s face. She stood up and slowly walked behind her employees, who stood motionless.
"I suppose I should have said ‘slave’, or ‘sex-slave’ instead." Angela ran the side of her hand down Cindy’s cheek.
Cindy looked down at her feet and bit her lip.
"That’s the term most people understand, but it seems so...so barbaric. You know? I prefer the term ‘pet’ for my slaves."
Angela grabbed a silver ring set into the dog collar buckled around Cindy’s neck and pulled her closer, then grinned at Nancy, who stood dumbstruck. "I tend to forget most Normals might not understand."
Angela stroked Cindy again, and the girls eyes fluttered closed.
"Sweet, sweet girl," Angela murmered.
Nancy’s eyes popped open as Angela gave Cindy a long, slow kiss.
When she released her, Cindy’s eyes were glazed over and she swayed slightly, out on her feet. Angela wrapped an arm around Candy’s waist and pulled her close, whispered something to her that Nancy couldn’t hear.
Candy knelt back down in front of Nancy, and Angela slid around behind her, trailing a finger over Nancy’s shoulder.
That strange tingle shot through her body again, giving her a sudden chill. Nancy felt goosebumps pop up on her arms, and Candy slowly ran her hands up her legs.
"Normals? I don’t...I don’t understand." Nancy was scared now, surrounded by the three women.
Angela slipped her hands around Nancy’s waist, locking her fingers together over her belly. Nancy felt her body pressing gently against her, the soft, warm feel of Angela’s dress against her naked back.
The feeling of pins and needles exploded through her body.
She tried to say something, to make Angela stop, but she couldn’t speak. Angela’s warm breath tickled her ear.
"You want to know if Matt and I are lovers?"
Nancy nodded, licking her lips.
"We’re not." Angela’s lips just touched the edge of Nancy’s ear. "But it hasn’t been for lack of trying."
The voice in her head was screaming at Nancy now, trying to push a message through the fog clouding her head, telling this was insane. Telling her to run, to get out and not look back.
"W-why?" Nancy’s voice was thick, trembling. She felt her body shaking.
Angela lightly nipped Nancy’s ear with her little, white teeth. Nancy heard herself moan, felt her eyes flutter.
"You don’t really know him, do you?"
Nancy tried to speak again, but couldn’t seem to get her mouth to work. She shook her head, managed a weak, "No."
"Did you know that he brought me one of his pets not long ago? A young girl, after he’d helped her former roommate rape her in her bed?"
Nancy’s eyes went wide. Angela smiled.
"I didn’t think so. He decided to keep her, as a trophy." Angela paused, savoring the moment.
She pointed to a wooden rack standing at the far side of the room. "We locked her in there, bent over, gagged and squirming. He let me...play with her, while he watched."
Candy began kissing Nancy’s legs, running her hands up and cupping her bottom.
"He liked that." Angela smiled at the memory. "We filmed it, if you’d like to see it?"
Nancy shook her head wildly.
"No? It excited him, watching us." Angela ran her hands in a slow circle on Nancy’s stomach. "But he wouldn’t let me touch him. Would you like me to tell you why?"
Nancy shook her head again, wanting her to stop.
"No? Perhaps tonight I’ll show you. But I do think you should understand the consequences of your choice to be with Matt, what he’s really like. Don’t you?"
A pit opened in Nancy’s stomach as Angela spoke, telling her sick, perverted stories about Matt’s sexual appetites.
"He brought the girl to me because he knows me; because we’re the same person in so many ways." Angela’s hands slipped down Nancy’s belly, into her panties, and gently stroked her pubic hair. "Because we’re both predators."
No no no...Matt’s not like that! He wouldn’t do that! He wouldn’t!
But Nancy continued to listen, sick, and Angela whispered more filth into her ear as the women fondled her.
Slowly, as Angela spoke, the panicky voice faded deep into the fog that had taken over Nancy’s mind. She felt warm hands hook into the waistband of her panties, pulling them down, exposing her bottom. Cindy stood behind Candy and grabbed Nancy’s hands, placing them on the back of Candy’s head, bunching her fingers into her thick brown hair.
"And Normals - people like you, are our prey." Angela slid a finger down further, over Nancy’s clit, then curling up into her pussy.
Nancy’s knees wobbled, and her arms and hands clenched around Candy’s head, pulling her face hard against her crotch. Angela’s hands slid back up her belly to her breasts, and cupped them gently as Candy’s mouth pressed Nancy’s mound, kissing and biting.
"He’s marked you, you know. He wants you to be his pet." Angela kissed her neck, ran her moist little tongue down along her shoulder. "And you want it, too. I can feel it. That’s why you came back today. Isn’t it?"
Candy gently spread Nancy’s legs wider, and she heard little lapping noises as Candy pressed her mouth against her pussy. A sudden jolt of pleasure ripped through Nancy as Candy flicked her tongue around her clit.
"Oh God..." Nancy moaned as the three women swarmed around her, kissing and groping her body.
"And you wanted to be the good little slave, and surprise your new master with a gift."
Nancy felt Angela step back, and the other hands suddenly left her body.
She swooned and fell to her knees onto the carpet. The women stood over her as she knelt, her body trembling with fear and excitement.
Angela tangled her fingers in Nancy’s hair and jerked her head back, leaned over. She ran a hand lightly over Nancy’s exposed throat.
"I’d collar you myself, if I could. Make Matt come and find you." She shook Nancy’s head. "I’d make him beg for you."
Nancy pawed at the hands clenched in her hair. "Please...you’re hurting me..."
"But Matt wouldn’t like that, and his gift’s much stronger than mine."
She shoved Nancy to the floor, wiped her hands, and sat down again on the couch.
Nancy looked up, tears running down her face. Angela sat with her legs crossed, her foot idly swinging just in front of Nancy’s nose.
Cindy held out her folded clothes as Candy helped her stand.
"So if I want him, I have to play by his rules. He’s letting you make your own choices, otherwise he would’ve just bought you the outfit himself last night." Angela spread her ams out across the back of the couch, relaxed again.
"And that means he’ll let me decide what type of payment I want from you."
Nancy clutched her clothes to her chest. She tried to wipe the tears away.
"I...I can’t take the clothes. I can’t pay for them."
"It’s much too late to change your mind now, Sweet."
Angela toyed with her hair again, thinking. "No, you’ll take what you asked me for, and Matt will get to satisfy his little fetish. The outfit won’t be ready to pick up for a week or two though. We have too much work already in line to start on your clothes."
Nancy gaped at her, stuttering. "But, but..."
"Don’t worry, Sweet. Matt’s going to be leaving tonight to visit two more of his little pets in California." She grinned. "I won’t tell him that you have to wait to try and seduce him."
Nancy felt a surge of panic, that her plan wasn’t going to work. She remembered Matt telling her during dinner that he was going to be going on vacation soon.
Angela smiled at Nancy’s look of dismay, glanced at an old silver clock on the wall. "Matt should still be at work. If you hurry, you can probably just catch him if you’d like to say goodbye. He was going to try and visit Melvin this afternoon before he left."
Nancy looked at the clock: three in the afternoon. Maybe she did still have time to see Matt before he left. She tried to pull her panties back up with one hand, struggling with the material.
Angela watched, that little smile playing around her lips.
"Candy, why don’t you help our sweet new friend get dressed."
Nancy felt Candy’s hair brush against the back of her legs, and then her panties were pulled back into place. Cindy shook out Nancy’s pants, and helped her step into them.
After she was clothed, Angela stood again, grabbed Nancy’s wrist and held it tight.
"Owww..."
She yanked off Nancy’s wedding ring and tossed it on her desk.
"There. You’ve made your choice; you won’t need that anymore." Angela kissed her cheek, gently.
"Go see your new master." Angela grinned. "But afterwards, you’re mine."
"Please, I..."
Angela waved her hand, dismissing Nancy.
"And Sweet, don’t try to run." Angela sat down behind her desk, her eyes hard, all emotion drained from her face. "Because I’ll find you."
Candy and Cindy grabbed Nancy by the arms and led her out of the office.
ÂÂ
Nancy drove to Matt’s store in a state of shock. By the time she pulled into the parking lot, she was sobbing uncontrollably.
She could feel the hysteria building, like a bubble deep in her gut. Nancy managed to park in front of the store and tried to pull herself together.
There was so much she didn’t understand, but she knew with a rising certainty that Angela wasn’t lying. She looked at the tan line were her wedding ring had been, wondering why she hadn’t fought to keep it, why she hadn’t run, screaming when the women had surrounded her.
She could still feel Candy’s mouth on her, and Angela’s hands cupping her breasts. And she remembered the strange feeling that overcame her after Angela touched her.
Everything that had just happened terrified her.
I’m losing my mind, she thought. There’s something terribly wrong with me.
The only person she could think of that might understand was Matt.
I have to talk to Matt. He can help me.
Nancy looked up as Matt stepped outside, holding one of the glass doors open for a smartly dressed woman who walked like she was in pain. Nancy looked closer. The woman looked vaguely familiar, but Nancy couldn’t quite place her face. She was a bit younger than Nancy, maybe in her mid-forties, and pretty, but plain, with almost no makeup, straight, shoulder length blonde hair and a nice figure.
Matt followed her to a brand new Lexus, carrying a couple plastic bags. He waited while she unlocked the car doors and put the bags in the back seat. Nancy could see the womans face contort in pain as she tried to settle into the car. Matt noticed too; he held out his hand for her, wrapping the other around her back, and she looked up at him in surprise. Matt said something, smiled, and he helped her ease into her seat, then shut the car door. He waved goodbye as she pulled out of the parking lot.
Nancy watched Matt go back inside the store.
He’s so nice. There’s no way he could be doing those things Angela said.
Could he?
The nervous flip-flops in her stomach came back suddenly as she tried to decide what to do.
Only one way to find out, she thought.
She pulled her key out of the ignition and was reaching for her purse just as Matt walked back out to his car. He opened the trunk, slung a large duffel bag inside, slammed it shut, and was driving away before Nancy realized he was leaving.
In a sudden panic, Nancy dropped her purse back on the seat, started her car and followed him.
ÂÂ
It was rush hour, and getting dark. Nancy lost sight of Matt’s car on the freeway more than once.
He crossed the river into downtown, then followed the freeway headed north.
She wondered where he was going. This wasn’t the way to the airport. He was heading more towards the industial district.
Matt turned on his blinker. Nancy changed lanes and followed him up an exit ramp.
Off the freeway, she tried to get her bearings, feeling turned around and lost. She never had any reason to come into this part of town. It had a bad reputation anyway - the news always said that crime, prostitution and drugs were rampant up here, and most of the businesses seemed to barely be able to eke out an existence.
Nancy passed storefront after storefront with thick iron gates padlocked over the front doors, broken or boarded windows and walls covered with graffitti. She locked her doors after she passed a dilapidated bar, when two black men standing outside saw her and ran after her car.
She gunned the car forward.
Oh God! she thought. She watched in her rearview mirror as the two men stopped running and laughed at her. She grabbed her purse and shoved it under the seat of her car.
Where are you going Matt? She was almost afraid to find out.
And she was definitely lost now.
She didn’t know any of these street names, and wasn’t even sure which way she needed to go to find the freeway again.
Nancy was trying to retrace their route in her head when Matt turned into a parking lot, parked, and walked into a huge, neon-lit warehouse.
She parked her car across the street from the lot, got out and looked around.
A marquee over the entry welcomed her to ‘The Pit’, with a blinking neon sign underneath advertising the place as the ‘Home of The Maze’.
"This is crazy," she whispered to herself. But she locked her car and hurried across the street after Matt.
Two huge black men guarded the entrance, and signs painted on the front doors told Nancy to have her I.D. ready.
"Oh shit." She’d left her purse in the car. She looked up at one of the guys and tried to smile.
"Um, a friend of mine just went in there while I was, uh, parking the car. I didn’t bring my drivers license with me, but can I go in?"
The guys looked at each other and grinned. The taller of the pair turned his smile on Nancy, flashing a mouthful of gold teeth.
"Oh yeah? The guy who just went in, huh?"
Relief flooded through Nancy. They seemed friendly. "You know Matt?"
He shook his head. "Nope. Don’t know any Matt."
"Oh. Well, is it okay? I could run back to my car..."
"Uh, ma’am, the signs are there to keep the kids out." He looked at her. "You over eighteen?"
"Oh, Jeez." Nancy laughed with the two guys. "I thought..."
"Naw, don’t worry about it. Common mistake." He looked at her again. "You sure you want to go in there?" He sounded concerned.
She wasn’t. But she nodded. "I need to talk to Matt."
"Matt. Right." The guy looked over at his partner again, who shrugged. He opened the door for her, and a wave of noise and cigarette smoke hit her like a wall.
"Okay, lady. Whatever you say. You have fun, now."
Nancy stopped short as the door swung closed behind her, and stared. Her experience at Angela’s store hadn’t prepared her for this place.
This was like an evil twin brother in comparison.
Loud music blared through the cavernous space, punctuated by the sound of women screaming and moaning. Angela’s store was clean and neat and well-lit, this place was dark and gloomy under flickering neon and flourescent lights, and stank of cigarettes and something that smelled like mold. Nancy remembered young couples shopping at Angela’s, here grizzled men shot furtive looks around at each other as they prowled through the store.
She remembered Matt again, telling there were places like this, were women shouldn’t go.
The door closed with a bang, and Nancy felt every sleazy head in the place turn to look at her. Some of the men grinned and pointed at her.
What have I got myself into? she thought.
Trying to stay composed, she stepped further into the store, unconsciously wrapping her arms under her breasts, hugging herself. Angela’s store had seemed huge to her, but this place seemed to go on forever.
And it was cold in here.
Groups of customers stared up at large video screens that hung behing the counter and on the walls. Nancy craned her head to get a look at what was playing, and her mouth dropped open.
The moaning over the speakers was coming from the woman on the screen. She was in a room, down on all fours on a chipped concrete floor, straddling a man while another man took her from behind. The man behind her was pounding himself into her bottom, smacking it viciously with his hand in time with his thrusts, while the man lying underneath her bit and chewed at her breasts. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying and her face was purpled with bruises. Blood seeped from cuts on her cheeks. Her eyes bulged and her face contorted with pain as another man grabbed her by the hair and shoved his penis hard into her mouth. Her screams turned into gags as the man forced her to go down on him.
Some of the men around her cheered. A few were openly rubbing at their crotches through their pants.
Nancy hugged herself harder.
She looked around at the counter. A greasy, painfully thin man with gold front teeth looked up from a magazine he was reading.
He stubbed out a cigarette, tossed the magazine onto the floor, and walked over to her.
"Hey," he said.
Nancy didn’t know where to start. "My friend came in here a few minutes ago. His name’s Matt?"
He looked Nancy up and down. She realized that was happening a lot lately.
"Oh yeah?"
"Do you know where he is? I mean, he was coming here to see..." What was the name? "Melvin?"
"Melvin."
She tried to remember who Angela had mentioned. That had to be the name.
"I think so."
"I think you got the wrong place, lady. Dunno no Matt."
She kicked herself mentally. Maybe this wasn’t the place Angela had talked about.
"Can I look around? I won’t cause any trouble, I just need to find him."
He seemed puzzled, but shrugged. "Whatever, lady," he said.
Nancy opened her mouth to ask another question, but he flopped back into his chair, lit another cigarette, and stuck his nose back in his magazine.
She left the relative safety of the counter and wandered around. Metal racks stretched from the floor to the ceilings, with the same type of stuff Angela sold at her store. A large portion of the store was devoted to what Nancy guessed was bondage equipment and clothing, and another chunk to movie rentals.
On the back wall she saw a blinking neon sign that read: Arcade.
Nancy felt a trickle of cold shoot down the back of her neck as she peeked around a corner and peered into another dark room, subdivided into what looked like several long hallways filled with doors. A few of the doors had red lights turned on over them, and the sound of more women moaning drifted out to her over the noise in the background. A big, bald, mean-looking man walked back and forth down the halls, smoking, checking each door.
Out on the floor, she heard the crowd of men cheer again as the bald man walked by. He grinned when he saw Nancy, and grabbed his crotch.
Nancy shivered and backed out into the store, bumping right into a crowd of men standing around the arcade entrance, staring at a screen above her head.
She started to apologize to the man she’d bumped. He laughed at her and pointed up at the screen.
Nancy turned around and looked up, and found herself on the video screen, surrounded by a bunch of creepy men.
She turned back, found the guy leering at her.
"Uh," she wondered what was going on now. "What happened to the movie?"
He cocked his head at her and grinned. "You liked that movie, lady?"
"Uh, well. I don’t really watch movies like that, you know?"
All the men laughed. Nancy noticed even more headed her way, to see what the commotion was about.
He jerked his head at the screen. "That wasn’t a movie. They play live feeds on the screens."
"Live..." Her mouth dropped as she realized what he meant. "You mean, that...that woman..."
"Yeah. She’s in here somewhere, gettin’ fucked good." He moved closer, looked down at Nancy’s chest. "Hey, lady. You cold?"
"Wha...?" Nancy looked at her breasts, bunched up under her arms. Her nipples were rock hard.
The guy looked around. "Check it out - the bitch’s got a big-ass tittie hard-on."
Then he reached out, grabbed her breasts with both hands, and twisted her nipples, hard.
"God-DAMN, you got some big fuckin’ tits for an old bitch."
"Don’t!" Nancy slapped at his hands. A sharp pain jabbed through her as his hands ripped away.
"What, you didn’t like that?" He stepped closer.
Nancy grabbed her breasts, massaging them reflexively.
"That hurt."
"Aww, it didn’t hurt all that much, lady." He grinned.
Someone else in the crowd chimed in. "Naw, she liked it dude! Bet she wants you to do it again!"
The men had circled almost all the way around her.
Nancy backed away from them, heading towards the arcade, right into the bald guy who was leaning against the wall. He grinned down at her and flicked cigarette ash on the floor.
"Hey sexy." He pinched her ass. "How about a kiss, huh?"
Nancy felt herself panicking. She knew she had to get out of this place. Now.
She squeezed her hands over her breasts as the guy reached for her again.
"What’s a’matter, bitch? You don’t like me touching your titties?"
Nancy pushed away from the Bald Man and bumped into a shelf. She glanced to her left and saw an opening between the shelf and the wall.
"C’mon lady." The Bald Man dropped his cigarette and stubbed it out with his toe. "The rest of us just want a little feel of those titties. You can’t let junior here have all the fun."
Nancy angled towards the opening, and bolted through as the men started to close around her.
She ran.
The men yelled, and she heard feet pounding on the carpet as they chased after her.
She tried to turn down an aisle, back towards the front, but a bunch of men were running parallel to her, playing with her, cutting her off from the exit. She slid to a stop, pinwheeling her arms for balance, and spun on her heel, losing one of her sandals. Then she turned and ran as fast as she could towards the back of the warehouse.
Video cameras followed her, recording her, and Nancy saw herself projected on the screens around the store, running for her life.
She knew she was being herded away from the exits. Her chest constricted from fear, and she couldn’t catch her breath.
Oh God, Matt, please, where are you? I saw you come in here, I need your help Oh God...
She skidded painfully into one of the metal racks running at an angle from the wall to the back of the store. She was being funneled towards a large, open space in the back wall, right where most of the men would end up meeting her.
She shoved herself away from the wall, hoping there was an emergency exit back there. If she hurried, she might be able get out before they caught her.
Please, please, please...
Nancy grabbed the edge of the wall and spun into the space. The carpet ended, and her sandaled foot landed on concrete floor and slipped out from under her.
She fell hard.
Nancy’s head bounced off the floor, and pain exploded through her skull. Her momentum carried her a few more feet, scraping her along the concrete. She got up holding her ribs, and saw the men sprinting towards her. She whirled around, panting, and found herself facing about ten different doors set into a wall about thirty feet long.
The sign above the doors said: Welcome to the Maze.
"Oh no," she moaned as the men pounded up behind her.
She jumped for the door closest to her and yanked on the metal handle. The door was made of heavy, thick steel, and it pulled slowly open with a click.
For a second, Nancy thought she’d made it.
Then she felt hands grab her t-shirt.
She heard it tear, felt it rip away as she tried to run again, and then an arm wrapped around her throat, jerking her back.
Nancy clung to the door handle for dear life, and strained against the hands pulling at her. A body smashed into her from behind and she was shoved forward, falling head first through the open door.
She hit the floor with a thud, and the man who had her by the neck landed on top of her, knocking the wind out of her lungs. The impact jarred the man’s arm, and for a second she was loose again. Nancy tried to scramble to her feet, but something heavy fell on her. Her arm was wrenched behind her, and she grunted as her face was smashed into the cold concrete.
"Fuckin’ hold on to the bitch!"
The weight lifted off of her back, and the pressure on her arm let up a little. A hand grabbed her around her neck, and pushed her face harder against the floor.
"Here, grab her other arm!"
She tried to fight, clawing at the air with her free arm. Someone caught her wrist and her arms were jerked straight out to her sides.
"You see the bitch run? Her titties were bouncin’ all over, man!"
Nancy tried to kick at the man behind her until he grabbed her hair and smacked her face into the floor. A bright light flashed behind her eyes, and she collapsed in a heap, moaning.
"Feisty little shit."
Nancy watched a pair of dirty tennis shoes move into her line of sight.
"Lets see what she’s got for us, huh?"
She wiggled and squirmed as hands groped at her clothes. Someone grabbed her sandal from her foot, then the man behind her unbuttoned her jeans and yanked them over her hips, down around her ankles.
"Look at that fuckin’ ass, dude!"
"Check out her underwear! Like she dressed up to get fucked."
Someone tore away her panties. Nancy felt hands rubbing over her bottom.
"Dude, I’m gonna keep these."
"Lift her up a little. Lets see those titties for real this time."
The men holding her wrists yanked her arms backwards, pulling her up into a kneeling position. The man holding her from behind wrapped his arm around her neck again, pulling her against him, forcing her head back on his shoulder.
The bald man from the arcade gave her face a little pat.
"Aww, poor little bitch looks scared."
He ran his free hand over her breasts, down her stomach. He rubbed her pussy, and Nancy jerked her hips back, shoving her bottom into his crotch. She could feel his hard-on poking through his jeans.
He grinned and nuzzled her neck.
The man in the tennis shoes, the one who’d pinched her nipples, knelt down in front of her. He let out a long whistle and grabbed Nancy’s breasts.
"Man. Even better without the fuckin’ t-shirt on." He bent over and ran his tongue over her cleavage. "Tastes good, too."
He pulled at her bra. The material ripped and tore away, and her breasts were free in his hands.
"God-damn, you got big tits, bitch!" He looked up, past Nancy. "Fellas, I think I’m in love."
"Please. Please let me go."
The men laughed.
The Bald Man began shoving his fingers into her pussy, and Nancy could feel him rubbing up against her ass.
He held his fingers up to her face. They were wet.
"Bitch wants it, fellas."
"Oh no, please, don’t..."
He rubbed her pussy juice over her mouth, and unzipped his pants. She felt his penis spring out, pressing against her, and then his hand slid back around, cupping her pussy. He bent her forward slightly, guided the tip of his penis into her with his fingers, and pushed.
"I’m gonna fuck you, you stupid bitch. Then we’re gonna take turns."
He bent her over further, and Nancy began to cry as he ground his hips against her. His forearm was still wrapped tightly around her neck, his other arm around her waist, pinning her to him. Her body moved in time with his, and Nancy felt his penis slide deeper into her with each thrust.
The Tennis Shoe Man stood up, unzipped his pants and pulled out his cock. He grabbed Nancy by the hair and yanked her head up.
"We’ll screw her just like they did that other bitch tonight."
He rubbed his swollen cock over her mouth as the Bald Man began to fuck her harder. Nancy felt him jerk against her bottom, and he let out his breath with a hiss and pulled her hard against him. She felt his cock soften inside her, and he shoved her away.
Some strange, detached part of Nancy finally realized that she’d just been raped, and she started to sob.
And then someone else took the Bald Man’s place behind her, another dick pushed into her, and another pair of hands wrapped themselves around her waist, squeezed her breasts.
And she didn’t have time to think anymore.
Tennis Shoe man slapped her face, and Nancy saw another flash of light.
"Open your mouth, bitch."
He hit her again, as the new man pounded away at her from behind.
"I said, open your fucking mouth!"
He slapped her again. He rubbed himself against her face, forcing his penis into her mouth. He pulled out a little, then shoved himself down her throat.
"Oh, yeah! Guys, the old bitch sucks cock!"
He grabbed her by the ears and held her head in place. Nancy started to gag and struggle again, fighting for air.
The man fucking her from behind began pounding her furiously. He jerked and pulled out of her pussy with a groan. Warm, sticky fluid shot over her ass and up her back, and then someone else took his place.
Tennis Shoe Man slowly ground his crotch into her face, and Nancy saw dark spots grow in her vision as her air was completely cut off.
So she did the only thing she could think of to do.
She bit him.
Tennis Shoe Man let out a high-pitched howl. Nancy felt the new man behind her pause with his hands grabbing her ass, his dick just barely inside her.
And she bit Tennis Shoe Man again, harder, and felt blood seep into her mouth.
"You FUCKING BITCH!" Tennis Shoe Man ripped his injured member from her mouth and hit her in the face, once, twice, knocking her into the wall. He fell over her, onto his knees against the man that had been trying to enter her, cupping himself and crying, blood oozing through his fingers.
The men crowding the doorway stared at him in shock. Nancy glanced around. She’d fallen into a long, brick hallway, and the space was only wide enough that the men had barely been able to squeeze into it one or two at a time to get to her.
And now Tennis Shoe Man had them all pinned, stuck at the doorway.
Nancy kicked off her jeans and scrambled to her feet. She saw enraged men trying to push by the wounded rapist, reaching and clawing for her, and she ran.
The slap of her bare feet echoed on the concrete as she turned a corner, running right into another wall with three more doors.
This time she didn’t wait to decide, just grabbed the handle on the middle door and yanked. It pulled open easily, and she jumped through, shoving her weight against the heavy door to close it.
Nancy heard a satisfying click as it shut. She braced herself, but the door had locked when it closed. She heard pounding and yelling on the other side, but the door didn’t budge.
She leaned against it, trembling, sucking in gasps of air, trying to calm herself.
I got away, she thought. I got away and I’m alive!
Her head jerked up as someone jiggled the door behind her.
Still not safe though, she thought. I’ve got to get out of here.
It was dark. Nancy edged forward, trembling with adrenaline, her arms outstretched.
She came to another wall and felt along blindly until she found another door. She opened it and slipped through, and she felt it lock behind her.
Even darker in here, and colder. Nancy had a strange sensation of space that she couldn’t really see.
She groped around blindly, shuffling her feet so she wouldn’t trip and fall.
And then lights flared on.
Nancy blinked, blinded.
She never noticed the huge man standing behind her, until his arm pinned her to him, and the rag in his hand covered her mouth.
ÂÂ
"She’s comin’ around."
The room spun around Nancy as her eyes fluttered open. Something blurry entered her line of sight.
"Hi, Sweet."
Nancy groaned. She hurt. Her whole body felt like one, big ache.
I know that voice, she thought.
"Looks like you had some fun before we got here."
She shook her head, tried to clear her vision, and her head pounded. It felt like her brain tried to seep out through her eyeballs.
The blur in front of her slowly morphed into Angela’s face, smirking at her.
Nancy looked around. She was in a warehouse, along with a bunch of large, muscular men dressed in studded leather who were setting up some sort of equipment.
Her rape had been recorded, and was playing on a movie screen that stretched from the floor to the ceiling.
Angela watched as Nancy was pulled to the ground, stripped and fucked on the screen.
She patted Nancy’s face. The touch sent a fresh burst of pain shooting through her head.
"Poor Sweet. Didn’t your precious Matt warn you about coming to places like this?"
Nancy tried to say something, but her mouth wouldn’t work, it seemed stuck open.
She probed around with her tongue, tasted metal wedged against her teeth.
"That’s okay. You don’t need to answer me." Angela cocked her head over at the screen, where Nancy was biting the Tennis Shoe Man.
"We made sure you won’t be doing that to anybody again, at least, not for a while." She grabbed Nancy’s jaw, pushed her head up. "You can thank Matt - he introduced this wonderful little innovation to us." She held up a thin metal ring, about as wide around as the bottom of a pop bottle. "We used to just fill our new pets full of drugs so they would be a bit more...relaxed. But with this, well...it’s a lot less expensive," she leaned closer, " and I rather like it when someone I’m working on is fully aware of what’s happening to them." She kissed Nancy’s cheek. "It’s so much more...arousing."
She flipped the ring to a greasy, balding, fat man in his fifties, who caught it and stuffed it in his pocket.
"By the way, Nancy, this is Melvin. He’s been dying to meet you."
Melvin grinned. "She doesn’t look very happy to be here."
"She didn’t have much of a choice. Is everything ready?"
He nodded.
"Good." She turned back to Nancy. "I bet you’ve been wondering what the price I set for you was, hmm?"
She waved at four men holding video cameras. They positioned themselves around Nancy.
"Well, we’re all going to make a little movie, and you’re going to be the star." She flipped her over her shoulder. "And you’re so sweet, you gave us a little bonus footage, too. I’m sorry about that. But you know, boys will be boys."
Angela clapped her hands. The men circled around Nancy, taking off their clothes. They all wore black leather masks that had zippers for eyes and mouths, and thick leather dog collars buckled around their necks.
Melvin unbuttoned his shirt and kicked off his shoes. Nancy watched in horror as he unbuckled his belt and let his pants down. He seemed to blur suddenly, and black, smokelike tendrils creeped up around his body. Nancy blinked, trying to clear her head, and Melvin snapped back into focus. He stepped close to Angela, his flabby, hairy belly shaking, and pulled a black mask over his head.
Angela massaged his cock, and he kissed her.
Nancy watched his penis swell, watched him squeeze Angela’s breasts as her pink little tongue slipped into his mouth. Angela rubbed him until he was hard, his thick cock purple and throbbing.
Then she cupped his balls and slipped a silver ring down his penis, wedging it under his scrotum.
Nancy struggled, tried to run, but couldn’t move.
Melvin grinned behind his mask. "You won’t be running away from us, toots."
Nancy looked around, tried to see what was wrong.
Her arms were tied over her head, with heavy, padded leather cuffs strapped to each of her wrists and attached to thin wires running up to the ceiling. Her ankles were cuffed too, with wires hooked to plates in the floor.
Angela took a dog collar from one of the men, and wrapped it around Nancy’s throat. She hooked a chain to the front loop, and yanked on it.
Satisfied, she stepped back.
"Perfect." She snapped her fingers, and the image on the movie screen changed.
Nancy looked at herself, naked, bound with her arms and legs spread out in the shape of an X, surrounded by the nude men in masks. The image flipped again, and she could see her back, and then her side, as the men with the cameras began filming.
Angela stood in front of Nancy, smirking.
She let Melvin step behind her and run his hands over her body. He unzipped her dress and pulled it up over her head, dropped it to the floor.
Nancy gasped. She’d never seen a woman with such a beautiful body.
She watched Melvin touch Angela, watched his big hands slowly unhook her bra and play with her breasts. Angela’s little, pink nipples poked out from under his thick fingers, and she snaked her arms back around his head as he nuzzled her neck and shoulders.
But her eyes never left Nancy.
Angela grinned wickedly as Melvin slipped another mask over her head, and buckled in on.
His voice was husky, strained when he spoke.
"I want her. I want to fuck her face until she chokes."
"And what will you give me, Pet?"
"Anything."
Melvin hooked his fingers in Angela’s panties.
Nancy watched, wide-eyed, as he pulled them down and she stepped out of them.
"I did say boys would be boys." Angela grinned at Nancy’s shock. "That’s true for me, too."
Melvin dropped Angela’s panties and slid his hands back around her waist. He gripped the long, thin penis dangling from her crotch, and began to gently stroke it with one hand, and he cupped her hairless balls with the other.
Nancy watched, unbelieving, as Angela kissed him, watched her penis grow until it was long and hard in his hand.
Then Angela snapped her fingers again.
Nancy heard a grinding noise, and the wires holding her arms up went slack. She tipped forward and tried to get her balance, but the chain attached to the collar at her neck jerked, yanking her to the floor.
She threw her arms out, and the wires tighted again. Her arms took all her weight and jerked up past her head, stopping her fall. Then the grinding started again. Nancy felt her arms being swung out to her sides, and then the plates at her feet spread, forcing her legs open.
Nancy hung leaning forward, with her feet spread wide and the wires pulling her arms out and up.
Her arms felt like they were going to tear off, and she cried out in pain.
Melvin let Angela go and stepped in front of Nancy’s face. A big, red vein running along the top of his dick throbbed. He grabbed her by the hair and pressed his cock against her wide open mouth.
Nancy screamed. For a second.
Angela watched the movie screen as she stepped behind Nancy. She heard Nancy’s scream cut off as Melvin’s dick hit the back of her throat, and his fat belly smashed into Nancy’s head as he started fucking her face with hard, brutal thrusts.
Sometimes she loved Melvin. He was was like a father to her, and he was her first pet, after all.
And he’d been the one to start all this fun.
Angela stepped between Nancy’s legs and motioned for one of her cameramen. He squirted some lube on her penis and massaged it, spreading it evenly over the length of her cock.
She felt it twitch in his hand, hard as a rock. She grabbed Nancy’s butt and spread her cheecks wide open.
Angela smiled, and pressed the tip of her dick against Nancy’s asshole.
The camera man squatted, and aimed the lens at her penis.
Angela pushed hard, and watched herself on screen as she ripped into Nancy’s ass.
She knew she was going to enjoy fucking Nancy over the next few days, but she just wished this had been Matt.
Melvin liked to tell her that sometimes she couldn’t have everything she wanted. But Angela preferred to think that good things came to those with patience.
And she could wait for Matt.
ÂÂ
Nancy woke from a nightmare, and bolted straight up in bed.
She looked around in a panic.
Sunlight streamed in through open windows, and the air was warm and fresh.
"Oh, God."
Nancy clutched the sheet to her chest and jerked her head around the room, trying to figure out where she was. There was a bathroom just off to her right, and the bedroom door was almost closed, except for a crack.
Nancy could hear someone humming not far away.
She rolled her legs out of bed, and a million little aches and pains shot through her body. Nancy stood up, and teetered a little. She steadied herself against the nightstand until she got her legs back under her, and walked to the bathroom.
She looked at herself in the mirror.
One eye was red and swollen, and the entire right side of her face was tender. She was dressed in a white silk camisole and white panties, and her arms were bandaged. She looked at the scrapes and fading bruises all over her arms, chest and legs, and the bite marks along her neck and shoulders.
She lifted the light top over her chest and found more of the same: bruises and cuts on her stomach and back.
Her breasts and her bottom were the worst.
Scabbed-over bite marks and dark bruises covered her breasts, and her ass looked like someone had pounded it with a meat tenderizer.
Nancy started to cry.
"Oh, God," she whispered again.
She ran cold water in the sink, and managed to scrub her face.
She hardly recognized herself.
Nancy patted her face and dried her hands with a soft towel. She shuffled back into the bedroom and noticed a small package on top of a pile of folded clothes on the dresser.
Nancy ran her hand through her hair. The outfit that had been the cause of all her terror and pain and hurt was folded neatly, waiting for her.
She picked up the package, and a small card fell into her hand.
‘Sweet - Payment in full. Also, a reminder of our short time together, and a small token of my love for you and your Master. Enjoy! A.’
"Fucking Bitch." Nancy almost threw the box out the window, but changed her mind and opened it with shaking hands.
Inside, she found a new, studded leather collar and a silver name tag with her name stenciled to it.
Nancy tossed it on the dresser next to the clothes, and pulled a thin, square plastic case out of the package. She set the empty box down and flipped the case over.
The front cover was a close-up picture of Nancy’s face with Melvin’s penis stuffed in her mouth.
Nancy let out a choking sob, and opened the case.
Inside, she found a shiny gold disk with a picture of her at the sex shop trying to run, her clothes being torn off.
"Oh, God."
She dropped the case to the floor, and collapsed on the bed in shock.
Nancy looked up as the door opened.
"Everything okay in here?"
A woman stood in the doorway, with a pitcher of water and a glass. She smiled to see Nancy awake.
The woman was tall and tan, with golden skin and light blonde hair pulled back into a short pony tail. She wore a white blouse unbuttoned over a silk camisole, and a tight black skirt that clung to the curves of her hips and muscular legs.
She was beautiful, and radiated an easy, natural sexuality.
The woman cocked her head to the side. "Have we met before?"
Nancy shook her head. "No. No, but I saw you once, in Matt’s store. He was helping me with something, and you...you snuck up behind him and kissed him."
The woman poured water in the glass, set the pitcher down on the dresser.
"Here, drink this." She sat next to Nancy on the bed, and helped her sip the water.
"I remember that." She handed Nancy the cup. "I’m Julie."
"Where am I?"
"This is Matt’s house."
"Where is he?"
"He’s been in California for a couple weeks now."
"How did I..." Nancy heard her voice crack, sipped at the water. "How long have I been here?"
"Melvin brought you here about a week ago." Julie took the empty cup and placed it by the pitcher. "You were in pretty bad shape, so I called Matt, and he had a doctor come and examine you."
"Two weeks..." Nancy had lost track of the time.
Julie looked concerned. "Do you remember what happened?"
Nancy held up the disk. "They filmed everything."
Julie nodded. "The doctor’s checked on you a few times now. He gave you a sedative to help you rest. He said you should be fine soon."
"When...when will Matt be back?"
"He’ll be gone for another week. Long enough for you to rest, here, if you want."
Nancy felt tears slowly roll down her cheeks, heard herself sob.
"They hurt me."
Julie gently wrapped her arms around Nancy, and held her.
"I know."
"Why?"
Julie rocked her. "Because they can. Because...it excites them."
"Do you...do you know them?"
Julie took a moment to answer. "I do."
"Does what they do...excite you, too?"
"Yes. But...It’s different when Matt...when he does it." Julie kissed her forehead. "You’ve felt it, too, haven’t you."
Nancy nodded, looked up.
"Matt’s like them, isn’t he."
"Yes." Julie smiled. "And no."
"Why do you stay? Do you...do you love him?"
Julie paused again. "I stay because I want to, because I like what Matt does to me. Because now I can’t imagine being without him." She looked down at the woman huddled in her arms. "But I don’t know if you could call it love."
Nancy closed her eyes. "He’s all I’ve thought about for...months. I compare my husband to him. I fantasize about him all the time. I don’t know what to do."
"Sshh. You don’t have to decide anything right now."
Jack unlocked the door and dropped his bags on the floor. He looked around the house, jingling his keys.
"Nancy! I’m back! You here?"
Where the hell was that fat cow? She didn’t pick him up at the goddam airport, didn’t answer the phone, and the car’s gone.
Everything else looked normal. Maybe she just forgot. It’d be just like her.
He picked up his bags and walked to the bedroom.
Jack stared. The room was a mess.
The first thing he thought was, Nancy always makes the bed when she wakes up.
The covers were torn apart, lying on the floor, her clothes thrown around the room.
What the hell is that?
Jack stepped into the room, saw the half-empty tube of lubricant on the floor, the dried-out stain soaked into the bed sheet.
Then he saw the vibrator.
Holy shit. The cow’s been using a fucking dildo on herself.
No skin off my nose, he thought. That much more of me for the ladies on my ‘business trips’.
Jack smiled to himself.
Starting his own consultation business had been a stroke of genius. He found the clients, and he hired a couple computer geeks from his old job to do all the serious work: the set-up and testing, making sure the systems met the customers requirements. Jack just had to breeze in for a few hours to ‘supervise’ all the work in progress. He really just sat back, let the guys do their pissant jobs, and watched the cash roll in. An hour or two a week actually working, at worst every other day, and then Jack could spend the rest of the time on his trips playing.
It was perfect, and Nancy would never know.
He laughed out loud remembering Nancy in her silly underwear the night before he left, and shook his head, chuckling to himself. How could she even think he’d want to screw her anymore? He hadn’t wanted to touch her since she’d got knocked up with their first brat. She’d gained a good twenty pounds with that kid.
That was when he started calling her ‘a fat cow’, in his head.
Jack loosened his tie and unbuttoned his shirt, kicked off his shoes.
Hell, even before then, he thought, even when she’d been kinda skinny and had those nice, big tits, he still had to think of other women to be able to get off.
She was the lamest screw he’d ever had. Completely boring in bed.
If it hadn’t been for that fucking kid, he never would’ve married her.
Jack thought about Mandy and Rebecca, the twins he’d spent the last couple weeks with in Las Vegas. Now, there were some real women. Built like fucking porn stars, and screwed like it, too.
They’d never let themeselves get pregnant like a dumb bitch. No sir.
Jack inspected himself in the mirror.
Too bad I’m not in my twenties. Best years of my life wasted with the fucking cow.
Jack thought of all the Viagra he’d used before coming home. He was going to need to refill his prescription.
He looked around again at the mess, spotted a black bag on the floor. He picked it up, shook out a book.
She’s reading now, too? What a waste of fucking money.
He looked at the title.
‘Kama...Kamasutra. What the fuck is a ‘kamasuwhatra’?
He tossed the book on the bed with the dildo.
Jack knew he didn’t have to worry. He’d be able to retire pretty soon. With all the money coming in now, and a few shrewd investments, he was pretty close.
Nancy didn’t know shit about that either, and he intended to keep it that way.
He let her think that he was busy busting his ass to keep up with the average Schmo. And when he was ready, he’d just take off, move somewhere warm, with sunny beaches, fruity drinks and hot girls in bathing suits.
And no sad-faced old cow tagging along for the ride.
Jack whirled at the sound of the doorbell, clomped down the hall in his socks, his shirt-tail hanging out.
Maybe that’s her. Maybe the stupid cow lost her house keys. I should...
Jack opened the door.
Well, he thought. Sure as hell ain’t Nancy.
"Mr. Shraeder?"
"Yeah?"
"This is for you."
A hot young thing, dressed in leather like some teen-age bondage queen, handed him a cardboard package, smiled, and hopped on a waiting motorcycle. She blew him a kiss as she roared off.
Jack stared at her, then at the box in his hand.
He shook his head, wished he’d had that Viagra. "Fucking hot. Hot hot hot."
He ripped the package open and flopped down on the couch in the living room, shook the box.
It rattled.
Jack reached in and pulled out a thin, plastic dvd case. He opened up the case and pulled out a blank, gold disk.
He flipped it over in his hands, wondering what the hell it was. No cover, no names, nothing. He looked at the box it came in.
Nothing there, either.
Jack shrugged and popped the disk into the dvd player, hit the power button on the remote.
The television flickered to life and he eased back on the couch, put his feet up and settled into the pillows.
The movie started, fading in from black.
A woman was running for her life, pursued by a bunch of maniacs.
Jack jerked back up, perched on the edge of the couch, his eyes wide.
"Holy shit." He grabbed the remote and hit the pause button. Squinted at the screen.
"That’s fucking Nancy."
A couple hours later, Jack hit the play button again.
He unbuttoned his pants and pulled out his cock, masturbating while he watched his wife get raped over, and over.
ÂÂ
Julie pulled into Matts driveway, parked, leaned over and kissed him awake.
He yawned, and she smiled as he stretched.
"Rise and shine, sleepy-head. We’re here."
"Mmmmm. Bed’s calling my name."
She patted his crotch playfully. "You should learn to take it easy on your vacations. You’re not as young as you used to be."
"You kidding? Hundreds of teenage girls in short skirts jumping around everywhere I looked for two weeks? It was heaven."
"You’re lucky you didn’t have a heart attack." She pressed him into the seat and kissed him again, gently stroking him with her hand.
"Miss me?"
She smiled down at him.
"Bet I could make you forget all about those flirty little cheerleaders."
"Hm. Maybe."
She grabbed him, felt him growing in her hand. "’Maybe’, my ass."
He patted her butt.
"You’re welcome to come in if you’d like to try."
Julie smiled and kissed him again.
"You’ve already got someone waiting for you tonight."
Matt looked at the house. A light flickered in the front window. "She stayed?"
Julie nodded. "You’ve got a way with the ladies, that’s for sure."
"She okay?"
"I think so. She looks a lot better."
"What are you thinking?"
Julie took a moment to answer. "She’s scared, and I don’t blame her. You guys really fucked with her."
Matt grinned. "It’ll get a lot worse for her if she decides to stay."
‘I know." She paused. "She seems like a nice lady Matt. Just...just be nice to her tonight. For me."
ÂÂ
Matt closed his front door and tossed his bag on the floor. The lights in the house were off, but a pair of candles burned on the table in the dining room, and the smell of lasagna and garlic bread wafted through the house.
His mouth watered.
Smells a helluva lot better than the crap on the plane, he thought.
He found Nancy sitting on his couch, dressed in the outfit she’d gone through hell to get, watching television.
"Well, well."
"Matt!"
Nancy jumped off the couch and Matt laughed as she hugged him. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close.
"Wow."
Then she stepped back and slapped him across the face.
He rubbed his jaw, more surprised than hurt, as she stared at him, her hands on her hips.
"Well. What exactly was that for?"
She waved to the television.
"You...you bastard! You knew what they were going to do to me!
Nancy was watching the movie - her movie, and she’d paused the disk, and there she was, on her knees, her arms held straight out behind her while a man groped at her body.
She pointed at the screen.
"You were there! That was you that caught me!" Nancy was trembling, but stood her ground, her eyes on Matt. "But it wasn’t you! I don’t understand!"
Matt grabbed the remote from the table and started the movie again. He watched himself rape Nancy, and grinned.
"Guess I looked pretty convincing as a creepy bald guy, huh?"
"How? How did you do it?"
Matt shrugged. "Honestly?" She nodded. "I have absolutely no idea."
"Angela said that the two of you have some...some kind of a gift."
He sat on the couch and flipped the remote back on the table. High pitched screams filled the room from the television.
"I guess you could call it that."
"And you use it to hurt people."
Her eyes brimmed with tears.
"You used it to hurt me!"
He grinned. "Nancy, I warned you not to go to places like that, but you followed me anyway. Even the guys you talked to at the doors tried to tell you not to go inside."
"But I didn’t know! I mean, I wanted to see you! You didn’t..."
Matt waved a hand. On the television, Nancy blindly groped her way through the maze, right into Melvin’s arms.
"You made the choice, Nancy." He looked up at her.
"But you made me!" she looked confused. "Or Angela did, or..."
He laughed as she babbled, looked at her new clothes.
"She did a great job."
"What?"
He stood up and walked over to her. "I said, Angela did a great job on your clothes. They make me want to screw you just looking at you."
Nancy stared at him, dumbfounded.
"Don’t look so shocked. Angela warned you about me too," he ran his hand along her blouse, cupped her chin and tilted her head up to him.
"I thought...I thought you liked me." Her big puppy eyes had tears in them as she struggled to comprehend what was happening.
He smiled.
"But you’re evil."
He kissed her. A warm tingle started at the back of her neck and spread slowly down her body.
She wanted to push him away, wanted to run from the house.
But her body wouldn’t let her.
He stepped back, but kept her chin in his hand.
"Did you like that?"
She wanted to scream at him, No no no no no...
"Yes."
He touched her cheeks with both his hands, and Nancy felt the room spin, felt her body responding to him. She threw her arms around his neck, pressed her body hard against his. She opened her mouth to him, panting, and he slid his hands down, around her back, cupping her ass.
Nancy moaned.
Matt stepped back, and the warmth left her body like it was drained out of her.
She hugged herself, panting.
"Did you like that?"
She nodded.
"Did you feel that tingle? Like pins and needles?" He looked at her.
"Yes."
"Do you feel it now?"
She shook her head. "No."
"Okay. That was my...gift. That was a warning. If you feel that, I can make you see, feel, or do, anything - anything - I want."
"Wh-what do you mean?"
She just wasn’t getting it.
"Did you notice it the night we had dinner, after I dropped you off?"
Her voice sounded small and scared as she nodded.
"Right before the door flew open, in the hallway."
"You do anything crazy that night? Anything you normally wouldn’t do? And I don’t mean like having me drag you into a porn shop; I mean something completely out of character."
Her body shook, and she hugged herself tighter.
"You were there! I thought I was imagining it, but you were really there! And you..." Her hands flew to her mouth as the realization hit home. "Oh my God."
Matt moved behind her and whispered in her ear. "You were very sexy, Nancy, pretending I was fucking you." He gripped her arms at the shoulder and pulled her against him. "You looked like you were having such a good time, I didn’t want to interrupt you, but I couldn’t resist flipping you over and fucking your nice-big-ass."
Matt backed away again. " Now I think you have another choice to make."
"What?" she sniffled.
"Well, you can stay here, knowing what you do about me." He spread his hands. "Or you can leave and go back to your cheating husband, or whatever the fuck you want. I don’t really care. I’ve already screwed you twice, and now, thanks to Angela, I’ve got a nice movie to remember you by." He flopped back onto the couch. "But I’m not forcing you to stay. It’s completely up to you."
"Why? Why should I stay?"
He shrugged.
"I don’t know, and I don’t fucking care. But if you stay," he waved at the television, "that’s the least of what I’m going to make you do."
"Why?"
He sighed, exasperated. So much for giving someone a choice in the matter, he thought.
"Because I can." He stood up. "Look, I know you’re thinking of this like it was going to be some goofy romantic comedy, but it’s not." He stood in front of her. "I’m not some guy who dresses in leather on weekends and gets cheap thrills by whipping his girlfriend. There’s no fucking safe-words here. If I think I’ll get off by making you fuck a goat, then that’s what you’re going to do for me."
She stared at him, her mouth hanging open.
"So, if you want to stay, great. I’m sure Julie and Shelly would like your company, and I know I like fucking you. But no more stupid questions. Decide now."
Nancy burst out crying.
Matt rolled his eyes.
"Okay Nancy," he pulled her to him and hugged her. "Look, this is a big shock, I know." He tilted her head up with his finger. "And you made dinner for us, huh?"
She nodded, sniffling.
"It smells delicious."
She gave him a weak smile.
"Tell you what." He kissed her forehead, smiled.
Nancy wiped at her eyes. "What?"
"You obviously need some time to think about things, so I’ll make you a deal."
Hope spread across her face as he flicked the damp bangs out of her eyes.
Then he grabbed a handful of her hair, and stormed through the dining room, pulling her with him.
She yelled and batted at his hand. "Matt!! Please...that hurts."
"Sorry, I don’t have the patience to talk to you anymore today."
He yanked her into the kitchen. Nancy lost a shoe, and she tried to hop after him.
"Please, Matt, stop!"
"Whoops. Sorry about that." He spun around and grabbed her shoe, then opened the door to the basement and shoved her down the stairs in front of him.
The foot still wearing the shoe slipped on the stairs, rolling her ankle, and Nancy almost fell, grabbing for the railing.
"Careful, there."
She managed to get her feet under her, and then Matt was pulling her down the last steps and across the concrete floor to a another door.
Matt whistled as he opened the door and pushed her into a small, dark, windowless room.
He flicked on a light switch, and Nancy clutched at him to keep from falling.
"So here’s the deal."
Matt shoved her onto a stained, dirty bed in the middle of the room and straddled her chest, forcing her to gasp for breath. He grabbed her arms, talking quickly as snapped a pair of handcuffs around her wrists.
"We’ll play a little game while you’re deciding what you want to do."
He attached the handcuffs to chains hooked to the floor at the top of the bed. Then he leaned back, satisfied, and smiled down at her terrified face.
"I’ll even be generous. I’m going to give you an entire month to think about it and make your decision." He smacked her face gently with his hand. "And in the meantime, you’re going to be my little fuck toy." He looked around the room, at the thick concrete walls, the bare lightbulb dangling from the ceiling. "And I’ll put you up in a room for free."
She shook her head from side to side as he slipped off the bed.
"Please, no, Matt. Don’t do this." She begged.
He grabbed one of her legs and pulled, stretching her out on the bed, forcing her arms straight up, over her head. He buckled a heavy leather cuff around her ankle.
She tried to kick him as he reached for her other foot.
"Hey, now!" He laughed as he caught her leg and forced it onto the bed.
Nancy let out a wail as he tied her down completely, her legs spread open.
"You won’t cost me much as far as my electric bill goes. I’ll just leave the light off. I can always fuck you in the dark."
He slipped her shoe back on, stepped back and grinned at her.
"There." He said. "Perfect, except for one thing."
The only other piece of furniture in the room was an old dresser. Matt opened a drawer and rooted around inside, humming. He turned back with a grin, tossing a ball gag in his hand.
"No no no no no...Uggh!" Nancy gurgled as Matt held her head still and shoved the red ball into her mouth. He strapped the gag around her head and kissed her forehead.
"Sorry, Nancy, but I just don’t want to listen to you whine anymore."
He moved around the bed and closed the door. There was an open doorway in the wall on Matt’s right, and he stepped through and turned on a light, illuminating a small bathroom.
Nancy heard him unzip his pants and urinate, sighing, then water running in a sink as he washed his hands.
"Whoo-boy. I’ve needed to do that for a couple hours now." Matt stripped as he spoke, tossing his shirt to the floor as he stepped back to the bed. "Now. The game."
Nancy’s eyes popped open when he crawled back onto the bed, naked, his massive penis hanging between his legs.
"Food and water’s going to cost you, and since I’m a sick freak, this is what we’re going to do." He straddled Nancy again, resting his weight on her hips, his penis slowly growing, sliding it’s way up her belly, like it was alive. "I’m going to fuck you at least once a day, every day." She watched his hand as he gripped his cock, stroking himself. "If you can manage to have an orgasm before I come, then you can eat. And don’t think you can fake it - remember, I’ve felt you have an orgasm; you squirted all over me." He grinned. "So that’s what I"ll expect if you want any food."
Panic overwhelmed Nancy, and she thrashed her body from side to side, moaning, screaming around her gag, until he slapped her face.
"You’re so hot when you’re scared Nancy." Matt ripped open her blouse, and smiled like a little boy on Christmas morning. Nancy was wearing a black satin push-up bra that stopped halfway up her breasts, so her pink little nipples poked out over the top of the material. He rubbed the tip of his penis over her nipples until they were hard and swollen, then he bent over and bit each one, still stroking himself.
Nancy felt her body lurch forward at the touch of his mouth.
She moaned as he sucked at her breast, fondling and squeezing her. She twisted and bucked, trying to knock him off of her, but he didn’t budge.
He sat up and grinned, squeezing her hard, wet nipples with his fingertips.
"You taste lovely, Nancy." He shifted his body, sliding down her legs, and pushed her skirt up over her hips. "Are you hungry? I sure am."
Under her skirt, Nancy wore a black silk slip.
Matt slowly rubbed his penis along her leg. It throbbed, twitching in his hand. "Ahh. That feels nice." He rucked her slip around her hips too, exposing black silk stockings attached to a lacy garter belt, and a pair of crotchless panties.
"Well," he said, "let’s not waste any more time."
Matt’s cock, now easily as long and thick as Nancy’s forearm, stuck straight out from his crotch, bobbing slightly. She stared, wide-eyed, as he leaned over her, and she felt the head of his dick rub against her pubic hair. He pushed it further down, rubbing her pussy with the tip, up and down.
She shut her eyes, tight, expecting Matt to rip into her, like the other men who had raped her. She remembered the intense pain when Melvin had fucked her.
Instead, Matt movied his hands slowly up her body, and he kissed her softly, easing himself into her as he went. She felt him filling her, felt her body stretching to take him.
She pushed her hips against him, helping him.
"You’re wet, Nancy."
She kept her eyes squeezed shut, and turned her head away as he slid slowly, completely into her pussy. She felt the weight of his body settle onto hers, felt his fingers trace little circles on her belly.
Matt kissed her neck, and Nancy moaned. He braced himself, his hands pushed into the mattress on either side of her chest, and slowly fucked her, grinding into her.
She whimpered and squirmed underneath him, exciting him.
"What do you think, Nancy? Can you beat me?"
Matt changed his rhythm, slowly pulling his dick out a few inches, and then shoving it back into her, hard. Her legs were stretched out tight, and the chains cuffed to her her ankles pulled her body against him with each thrust. He tucked his knees under her legs, lifting her hips up, holding the tops of her thighs with his hands, and pounded his dick into her, making her titties bounce.
"Are you going to be able to eat tonight?"
Matt let out a loud grunt and he jerked to a stop. Nancy felt his cock twitch inside her, and his fingers gouged into the soft flesh of her legs.
He let out his breath in a whoosh, and pulled out of her with a wet sucking sound.
"Doesn’t look like it."
His cock was still hard, but it glistened with wet, sticky cum. Matt wiped it off onto her slip, and rolled off the bed.
"Oh well. We’ll try again tomorrow."
He gathered his clothes up, and clicked off the light. Nancy looked at his profile, dark in the doorway.
"I’ll make sure one of the girls takes you to the bathroom when they get back tomorrow. I wouldn’t want you to have an accident. I’ve never had a defecation fetish."
Nancy thought he grinned.
"But then again, the way things are going, you never know."
And he closed the door, leaving Nancy in the darkness, scared, and feeling totally, completely alone.
ÂÂ
Nancy lost track of time, lying there in the dark.
For a while, she wept.
Eventually, the tears stopped, and Nancy fell asleep.
She dreamt awful dreams, of being chained to a wall, of brutal, masked men with whips, and a woman with an insanely huge penis that was alive, that bit and snapped at her.
She tried to scream, but one of the men shoved his hand deep into her mouth, forcing it down her throat until his arm was in her mouth up to his elbow. Her jaws cracked, and she couldn’t breathe. The woman started to fuck her, from behind. Sharp, wicked teeth bit and tore at her inside, but Nancy couldn’t scream, couldn’t move.
Suddenly the shadows shifted. A dark figure detached from the wall, its massive, fanged penis writhing in front of her face, spitting venom, snapping at her. And the woman and the men were laughing...
Nancy woke, groggy.
The dream was still with her, and she felt arms wrapped tightly around her, heard a man’s muffled moan as he buried his face into the pillow next to her.
Matt kissed her cheek and whispered, "Sorry, Nancy. Not today."
She cried as he left, her stomach growling, wondering if Matt would ever let her go.
Nancy remembered Jack. She wondered if her husband was looking for her, if he’d gone to the police. She tried to picture him, see his face in her mind, but she couldn’t. He was just a hazy, fading memory, slipping away.
She tried to remember her children, her girls, and she realized she hadn’t spoken to either of them for months.
Her last conversation with her youngest, Alicia, had been an arguement.
Alicia couldn’t understand why she stayed with Jack. Their conversations invariably came back around to him, and Alicia didn’t have the patience to listen to Nancy anymore.
She told Nancy that she never took anybodys advice but Jacks, so she deserved what she got.
Her oldest daughter, Amy, just said he was a creep, and wouldn’t talk about why.
Nancy knew her daughters couldn’t stand their father, and as soon as they could, they’d both married and moved as far away as possible. Rarely would either of them make the trip home, even for holidays.
Nancy hadn’t even seen her newest granddaughter, Alicia’s baby girl.
She wondered if she would see any them again.
Or if she really cared.
An odd thought, but she’d felt sorry for herself for so long, she hadn’t realized how distant, how indifferent she’d become.
The little voice in her head piped up.
That’s why you were so attracted to Matt, it said. He paid attention to you. He looked at you like you were a woman, not just a piece of old, torn furniture, like Jack.
That’s why you pursued him. That’s why you went to dinner with him, flirted with him.
And look where that’s got me, she thought.
Eventually, the door creaked open. The hazy light from the basement windows framed two silhouettes standing in the doorway.
Her body shuddered. No. Not again, please...
The light flicked on, blinding her. The figures moved to the bed, unhooking the chains from her bound wrists, lifting her so she sat at the end of the bed.
"Thank God, please help me, I..." Nancy drifted off as her sight returned.
Two naked women, wearing black leather bondage masks and dog collars, grabbed Nancy by the hair and hauled her to her feet. A short length of chain swung between the cuffs on her ankles, and the larger woman pulled at her handcuffs, dragging Nancy, shuffling, into the bathroom.
They forced Nancy to sit on a filthy toilet, and waited while she urinated. They helped her clean up, then dragged her back to the bed.
Nancy struggled until the taller woman slapped her across the face. They pushed her face-first onto the bed, strapping her back in so she was lying face down.
Then they turned off the light and shut her back in, alone, gasping for breath.
I’ve got to get out of here, she thought.
She tried to move, and was able to arch her back a little. Thinking she might have more leverage now to try and pull her hands free, Nancy folded her fingers together, and pulled.
And pulled.
Again and again.
She worked against her bonds until her body was soaked with sweat, and she’d ripped the freshly-healed skin away from her wrists.
Even with the blood seeping around her hands, she couldn’t pull them free.
She cried in frustration, so tired she didn’t notice the door to her prison open until Matt spoke, startling her.
"Well, well. Looks like you’ve been busy, Nancy." He ran a finger over her bloody forearm. "That looks like it hurts."
She stared up at him, panting.
"Trying to stage an escape?" He grinned. "Sorry. You’re cute, but you’re no Houdini."
She watched him open the dresser. He turned around holding a thick wood paddle.
He stepped back behind her, so she couldn’t see him. She heard a metal clank, and the chains holding her legs down went slack.
"Nancy, Nancy, Nancy. I like the initiative, but this wasn’t in the deal we made." He slid between her legs onto the bed behind her, lifting her hips up into the air. "Our first rule here: if you do something wrong, you get spanked."
She felt him slide her torn skirt over her bottom.
Matt pulled her panties down around her bent knees and rubbed her ass with his hand, sliding over so he was kneeling on the bed next to her.
Then he wrapped one arm around her waist, and slammed the paddle down onto her ass as hard as he could.
Nancy screamed around her gag. She kicked and thrashed as he spanked her, but although they were loose, her feet were still chained to the floor, and the arm around her waist kept her from moving her hips out of the way.
When he finished, she collapsed back on the bed, tears pouring from her eyes. He put the paddle back in the dresser drawer, and slid back onto the bed.
Nancy felt something cool and soothing being spread over her red, swollen ass.
"Don’t do that again, Nancy, and I won’t have to punish you. Do you understand?"
She nodded weakly.
Then she felt his hands wrap around her waist, felt his cock push into her from behind.
No food that day.
Eventually, the women came again, and helped her to the bathroom.
Her limbs trembled when they helped her to her feet. Nancy realized that she was being starved, and she was getting weaker.
Nancy knew the tall woman was probably Julie, from her body. As she sat on the toilet again, Nancy tried not to look, but marvelled again at what a beautiful woman she was. The other woman was much smaller, shorter even than Nancy, but had a shape very similar to Julie’s - large, firm breasts, with a small waist and wide, round hips.
Sitting on the toilet that day brought waves of sharp pain.
They strapped her back to the bed, face-down, and lathered her ass with the cool jelly, easing her pain a little.
A funny thought occured to her when they left her.
Nancy remembered, months ago, it seemed now, wondering if Matt could be attracted to her, while she looked herself over in her mirror at home.
She remembered how she’d thought of herself: fat and old.
But now...
She thought her body wasn’t all that much different from Julie’s. She had the same big breasts, the same thick hips and ass.
Even after her pregnancies, after the extra weight, she’d always had that ‘hourglass’ figure.
She remembered being cornered by the men at the store, all the men gathering around her. And after they caught her, talking to themselves while they stripped her.
All those men wanted her. They wanted her body, wanted to control her, if just for a minute.
All of them.
Even Matt.
A sick thrill passed through her, leaving her breathless.
And wet.
Nancy squirmed on the bed, uncomfortably aroused at the thoughts running through her head, the little voice in her head wondering where Matt was right now.
Because, she thought, I bet I’ll get some dinner tonight.
And she realized that she’d made her decision.
It was hard to rest after that.
By the time the door to the room opened again, Nancy was exhausted, and beyond hunger. She would’ve given anything for a drink of water, and wondered if that was part of the plan.
She felt the pressure holding her legs loosen again, and the familiar weight of a body climbing onto the bed behind her.
Matt’s strong hands lifted her hips into the air again, and she felt a cool, damp cloth wash her bottom, wiping away the residue of the jelly.
She felt herself smile a little, around the gag.
Her breath came in little panting gasps, her already excited body anticipating him.
He wrapped his arms around her waist again, pulling her close, and she felt his hand slip under her crotch and play with her pussy.
Oh, God, yesss...
She couldn’t believe how good that felt.
Then something pushed gently into her bottom, and she heard a squirting sound. She felt a cool fluid spurt into her asshole, felt it ooze down over her pussy, down her legs.
Oh no, she thought, that’s not what he’s supposed to do...
And She felt the tip of his penis press against her lubricated asshole, felt his cock slowly sliding into her.
No no no no no...
She shook her head frantically.
Fuck my pussy! Please Matt, not there...
Maybe he’s making a mistake, she thought. It’s dark, he probably can’t see what he’s doing. I can’t take him like this, I can’t. He’ll rip me apart...
She tried to raise her hips higher, to try to get his cock to slip out of her ass and slide down into her pussy.
I’ve been waiting for you all day, goddamit, I want you to fuck me like a goddamn normal person!
But he didn’t slip out. He just tightened his grip around her waist, and slowly pushed deeper into her butt.
And he stopped playing with her pussy.
Nancy hung her head while Matt squeezed her tits and fucked her ass.
He’d used enough lubricant so it didn’t really hurt, and she could feel his balls slapping against her pussy, heard his belly smack against her ass cheeks.
No food that day either.
Eventually, the women came and went, and Nancy slept again.
No nightmares this time, though.
She dreamt of food, and her dinner with Matt. She could almost taste the food on her plate, the wine she drank. She felt happy and content, watching Matt eat, enjoying being close to him.
This time, when he took her home, Nancy didn’t let him leave; she invited him inside, and she took him to her bed.
Nancy watched as she lead him down the hall and pulled him into her bedroom. Watched as she kissed him, watched as she touched his body.
In real life, Nancy moaned in her sleep, squirming on the bed as the door to her prison opened quietly.
Matt stepped into the room and grinned as Nancy wiggled her hips against the bed, listened to her soft little panting breaths.
In her dream, Nancy slowly undressed Matt. When he was standing, naked, she sat on the bed and took his warm, twitching cock in her hands and kissed it, feeling it grow in her hands as she licked and kissed him.
Somehow, she was completely naked, and she was more than ready for him. Nancy leaned back onto her bed, still holding his cock, pulling him down on top of her. She closed her eyes as he kissed her and wrapped her legs around his neck, helping him into her pussy with her hand.
Matt watched Nancy re-live her fantasy and slowly unbuckled the cuffs around her legs. He eased onto the bed behind her and slid his hand up her thigh, felt the wetness between her legs, and lowered himself onto her back. He gently ground himself against her bottom, felt her hips pushing back into him, and he began gently kissing her, nuzzling her.
She raised her body to meet him, and he pushed gently, enjoying the warmth of her as he slipped inside.
Her mouth opened, and she groaned again, licking her lips.
Matt started slowly, letting her body move against his, and nibbled at her ear.
"That’s my girl," he whispered, "you’ve wanted to fuck me for a long time."
Her eyes fluttered.
"Matt...?"
He grinned, and cupped her breasts as her hips jerked against him.
"I’m here, Nancy." He held her tight. "You can do whatever you want tonight."
In her dream, Nancy let Matt turn her over onto her stomach, and he used her panties to tie her hands to the bed. She felt him enter her from behind, filling her up completely.
He whispered into her ear, his breath warm against her cheek, and his hand snuck down to her pussy, touching her, sending little, electric thrills through her body.
"Oh God, Matt. Fuck me. I want you to fuck me. Please..."
For the first time in days, she heard her own voice, parched and raspy, but strong and sure.
There was a beep from my computers speakers. A sound like the tab of a beer can being popped, then foamy liquid pouring into a glass or mug, followed by the spray of tiny bubbles. Then a sexy female voice that said, “You have mail.â€ÂÂÂ
ÂÂ
I grinned and clicked on the mail icon in my browser.

mal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in">It was around eleven in the morning on my day off from work. I was comfy; relaxing in a t-shirt and shorts, lounging on my couch with my feet propped up on the coffee table, my laptop balanced on my thighs and bumming around on a singles site when I got the message. I clicked it open and scanned the attached note.
ÂÂ
           It was from a woman who called herself LadyLoveBBW. I didn’t know her real name. Her profile had been one of the first to show up when I’d joined the site. She was an older woman – which turned me on – easing into her late 40’s. In her photo she was a little chubby, but she had a great big rack and nice taste in lingerie, so I thought, what the hell?
ÂÂ
I sent her a tentative proposition, just for fun. I didn’t think she’d even reply, since I hadn’t uploaded a picture of myself, and my profile really didn’t seem to match what she was looking for. She was attached, engaged to be married, with a couple kids already, and she was doing this on the sly. She wanted to meet someone to share erotic emails, maybe meet a man to develop a short-term – and discreet – relationship.
ÂÂ
That sort of crap.
ÂÂ
I just wanted to fuck. And her picture made me horny. In my first email to her, I sent her some dumb story I made up about meeting her at a hotel, with lots of kissing and caressing, candles and wine – everything I could come up with. A big, steaming load of romantic bullshit.
ÂÂ
Color me surprised when she emailed me back. She continued with my story, writing shit about how she wanted to kneel before me and handle my massive member, swallowing me whole until I was ready to cum, sucking my dick until I couldn’t wait any longer, and then she’d pull me down on top of her hot, naked body and…
ÂÂ
It went on and on like that. The shit got me so horny I jacked off reading it, came in a flood. After I cleaned up, I emailed her right back with another story, this one spiced up a little more, and not quite so romantic.
ÂÂ
Next day at noon, boop, she emailed me back with a picture, a chest shot of her in the shower, her titties all soapy and wet. First time I saw her face, too, just in profile. She was smiling over her shoulder at me, soap running down her back and over her big, fat, dimpled ass, using her hands to cup her breasts. She was chunky, yeah, but still…cute.
ÂÂ
Had to jack off after that, too. I sent her a reply and included another story. I also told her I was jealous of her washcloth.
ÂÂ
Then I got busy and couldn’t check my mail for a few days. When I finally did, she’d left me not one, not two, but three replies, all with pictures and stories. Her last email asked me to send her a photo of myself.
ÂÂ
So I broke out my crummy camera phone, snapped a shot of my mug, nothing sexy, just my face, and emailed it to her. Literally ten minutes later, she sent me a reply, saying she was at work and really horny, and asked if I’d like to meet her for ‘lunch’. That’s just how she wrote it, too, with the quotations – ‘lunch’.
ÂÂ
She gave me a place and a time and said that she’d meet me there.
ÂÂ
How could I refuse? I gussied myself up a little – threw on some jeans that weren’t full of holes, a clean black t-shirt, some comfortable leather boots and my old biker jacket. I ran my hand through my hair and grabbed my car keys, the drove like a bat out of hell the mile and a half over to Broadway and Fremont, a trendy area of town that was chock-full of upscale bistros and over-priced restaurants. I drove and hunted until I found a parking spot only a block or two from the restaurant, then I locked my car and hoofed it along with the rest of the lunch crowd.
ÂÂ
The restaurant was pretty nice, only a few months old, and I hadn’t been there. It was a little out of my price range – well, okay, a lot – but you know, you only live once. I was a few minutes early, but opened the door and slipped into the waiting area.
ÂÂ
I entered to the sound of soft, piped in piano music, hushed conversation and fine silverware tinkling on china plates. The dining room was bright and wide open with lots of big, picture windows, and there was a full bar set up in the back of the restaurant. The piano seemed to loose a beat when I stepped inside. The chatter and clatter hushed, and a lot of perfectly coiffed heads turned my way. Everyone seemed to be wearing expensive, tailored business suits, the only difference between the sexes being that I didn’t see any of the men wearing short power skirts.
ÂÂ
I stuck out like a bloody turd swirling in a plugged-up crapper. Inconspicuous is my middle name.
ÂÂ
The hostess gave me a sly once-over. I grinned at her while I ignored the stares and the whispers from the other patrons in the waiting area. “Can I help you?†she asked, and flipped through a reservation book laid out on the polished wooden stand in front of her.
ÂÂ
She was strikingly attractive, tall and lean with long, straight hair so dark it was almost black. She cocked her head off to one side and leaned arrogantly on the pedestal stand, kept up with her silent appraisal of me. I tried not to notice the way her big tits strained against the buttons of her blouse.
ÂÂ
She hadn’t had me thrown out yet. I supposed that was something, so I tried to make nice. “Um,†I said. “I was supposed to meet someone for lunch…?â€Â
ÂÂ
She stared at me some more, until I got uncomfortable. “Was there a name?â€Â
ÂÂ
Was there? I thought about the email she sent.... “I think…the message I got said something about a private booth…?â€Â
ÂÂ
That sly smile crept back over her lips. She cocked her head to one side and reappraised me. After a moment, she said, “Follow me.â€Â
ÂÂ
I did. In a corner behind the bar, was a booth sandwiched behind two gleaming walnut partitions. The table was set for one, sparkling silverware and crystal on a pure white cotton tablecloth. The hostess stood off to one side, her grin fixed in place.
ÂÂ
She had a dimple at the side of her lips. I hadn’t noticed it before. It was cute. And she looked strangely familiar, but I couldn’t quite place it…
ÂÂ
“Have a seat, sir,†she said, and indicated the booth.
ÂÂ
 I slid into the booth. The seat was soft brown leather – real leather! – that crinkled under my butt as I settled in. “Um, excuse me,†I asked, “but have we met?â€Â
ÂÂ
The hostess just smiled and shook her head. “No, I don’t think so.â€Â
ÂÂ
“That sounded like a line, I know, but…I could swear…â€Â
ÂÂ
She shook her head again. I liked how her dark hair tumbled around her slim shoulders. “No. Enjoy your meal sir. Your server will bring it right out.â€Â
ÂÂ
“My what? Hey…†I began as she turned and started to walk away. I looked down at my plate and realized that I was still alone. “Excuse me? I was waiting for someone else to arrive…â€Â
ÂÂ
“I know.†The hostess glanced back over her shoulder. Her eyes twinkled. Her dimple dimpled.
ÂÂ
With another flip of her hair, she was gone, leaving me alone with my reflection staring back at me out of my empty plate and my head full of questions. I looked around trying to see where she skipped off to. I could see glimpses of the people dining around me, and found that I could catch snatches of conversation from their tables, but I was tucked nicely away in a blind spot.
ÂÂ
Probably so I wouldn’t interrupt the rich folks’ digestion.
ÂÂ
While I was twisting in my seat, a slick, bow-tied waiter and a busboy came. The busboy filled my water glass with ice water, and the waiter brought me an appetizer plate. They smiled and backed away without saying a word.
ÂÂ
What the fuck? I hadn’t ordered anything yet.
ÂÂ
I stared at the plateful of golden fried onion rings and other assorted little tidbits, and waited until my stomach growled loud enough for the people at the other tables to notice. It was ten minutes after I was supposed to meet my date. I figured that she was either running really late, or she fucking stood me up.
ÂÂ
Or set me up, I wasn’t sure which yet.
ÂÂ
Either way, my stomach growled again. So I tried a bite of the onion rings.
ÂÂ
Mm. Tasty. Another growl ripped from my stomach. It didn’t need to bother. I dug in with a vengeance.
ÂÂ
For a brief second, I wondered why I hadn’t seen a menu yet. And then my waiter was back, with a busgirl this time. She looked like she was right out of high school; much cuter than the dumpy busboy from before. They whisked away my empty appetizer plate and replaced it with a sizzling sirloin steak with all the trimmings.
ÂÂ
“Voila.†My waiter stood back while I eyed the huge chunk of meat. “Enjoy. If I can be of further service, please just call.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Okay, but…†I looked up. They were already gone, just a light scent of the busgirls perfume to let me know they were even there, leaving me alone with my meal.
ÂÂ
“Well, hell,†I sighed and picked up my fork and a steak knife. I dug in, hoping I’d brought enough money with me to pay for this. I took a bite of the steak. It was so tender; it literally melted in my mouth. “Oh my God…â€Â
I jerked backwards, bumping the table with my knees. Dishes rattled. A pair of hands locked around my thighs, pinning me to the seat.
ÂÂ
“Shhh.†A whisper, from under the table. “Calm down. It’s me. Just keep eating.â€Â
ÂÂ
I looked around. Nobody around me seemed to care what was going on. No one came running to see what all the commotion was about.
ÂÂ
“Jesus, you scared me!†I hissed.
ÂÂ
I heard a quiet, feminine laugh, and the hands shifted away from my thighs and began gently petting my crotch.
ÂÂ
“Sorry.â€Â
ÂÂ
“What are you…†I bent at the waist and tried to raise the tablecloth, but my hands were slapped away.
ÂÂ
“Don’t do that. You just enjoy your lunch, baby.â€Â
ÂÂ
She was tugging open my belt, unbuttoning my jeans. When my fly was open, I felt a warm hand reach into my underpants and pull me free. I was uncomfortably hard already, and a yummy sound drifted out from underneath the table.
ÂÂ
My legs were pushed open wider. They curved around a soft body that squeezed closer to my crotch. Then something warm and soft and moist completely engulfed me. I jerked again as the woman under the table swallowed me. Her lips slowly slid down the shaft of my cock.
ÂÂ
“Oh shit!â€Â
ÂÂ
I grabbed the sides of the table hard, and smacked the back of my skull against the wall behind me. I held on for dear life as she began slurping my dick, slowly working her mouth up and down my cock. Her hands shifted again. They circled my waist and slipped into the back of my jeans. She tickled the top of my ass with her fingernails, then shoved her hands down into my underpants and cupped my butt-cheeks.
ÂÂ
She bobbed her head and squeezed my ass. She was squished, pinned between my thighs, and my cock was long enough that she couldn’t just bob her head up and lift her mouth off my dick. I could hear her gulp for air. Unless she moved – and I didn’t think there was enough room under the table to lift her head that far – she had to keep her mouth clamped around me and breathe through her nose.
ÂÂ
God, that turned me on. Just the though of her down there, barely able to move…It was heavenly.
ÂÂ
Little slurping noises drifted up, and I closed my eyes. A strange, random thought filtered through my head – how the hell did she expect me to eat while – whooo! – while she went down on me? There was no way. I couldn’t even pry my hands away from the table. I was as stuck in one place as she was.
ÂÂ
She worked me nice and slow, pulling me along, bringing me right to the point of release. But every time I’d stiffen up, wanting to let go and cum, she’d back off a little, just enough to keep me going. It was during one of those little mini-orgasms that my waiter decided to see how I was doing.
ÂÂ
He poked his head around the partition and noticed my full plate of cooling food.
ÂÂ
“Sir? Is something wrong? How is your meal?â€Â
ÂÂ
I managed a grin that I hoped didn’t look to weird. “Everything’s – unh! – fine.†Deep breath, squirm in my seat. Another deep breath. “Thanks…hey, uh, wait a minute, ufff! Maybe a doggy bag…â€Â
ÂÂ
“Very good sir.†His eyebrow shot up and he gave me an odd look, but he nodded and his head disappeared.
ÂÂ
I heard a chuckle from under the table. The woman under the table was resting her head on my thigh. Her hair tickled. One of her hands was cupping my balls, and her other hand was still buried in my underpants. She alternated between licking the tip of my cock with her wet tongue and then going down hard on me, deep-throating my dick until her lips were pressed against my belly.
ÂÂ
She kept me like that, running her tongue back and forth along the underside of my shaft, letting the muscles in her neck squeeze me, just moving enough to keep up the friction.
ÂÂ
I felt the orgasm start in my toes. It built and built until I couldn’t breathe. I squeezed the table, digging my fingers in hard enough to leave marks. My ass started to twitch and I blew my load right down her throat. I was coming so hard I gasped, right when the waiter dropped off my fucking doggy bag. My hand shot to my forehead, covering my eyes while I tried to keep my body from twitching spastically.
ÂÂ
“Um,†He plopped the Styrofoam container on the table and stared at me. “Can I get you anything else…sir? Dessert, perhaps?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Um,†twitch. “…no, thanks.†I managed to squeak. “I’m,†twitch. “…good. Just the†twitch. “check. Please.â€Â
ÂÂ
The waiter blinked at me a couple times, then: “Very good sir. But your meal has already been paid for.â€Â
ÂÂ
I managed to look up. “What…?â€Â
ÂÂ
“The lady who ordered your meal already paid for your check.â€Â
ÂÂ
I felt the wet tongue lazily circle my cock, slowly cleaning me up. A hand gently patted my thigh.
ÂÂ
“Oh.†I said.
ÂÂ
“Have a good afternoon, sir.â€Â
ÂÂ
He backed away again. Warm hands tucked my cock away, slipped it carefully back into my underpants, and then zipped me up. I heard a light jingle as my belt was hooked back into place, and then my crotch got another light pat.
ÂÂ
“Bye, sweetie.†A whisper from under the table. “Lunch was yummy. Write me soon.â€Â
ÂÂ
“Oh,†I said again. “Okay.â€Â
ÂÂ
I grabbed my leather jacket and slid carefully out of the booth. Heads turned again as I stood up, and I felt myself flush. I slipped the jacket on in a pathetic effort to hide my burning cheeks, even though I don’t think anyone realized what had just happened.
ÂÂ
The hostess winked and gave me her little grin before I walked outside. Right there, I knew that she knew. She leaned on her pedestal, showing me a nice round ass and tiny waist; oozing her sultry, come-hither vibe. She flicked her hair over a slim shoulder, wrapped her arms under her breasts, batted her eyes and waved, wiggling her fingers.
ÂÂ
I shoved open the door and found myself back on the sidewalk, smack dab in the hustle and bustle of lunch hour traffic. The wind was cold, so I turned up the collar of my jacket and started off towards my car. I’m not sure why, but just as I got to the corner, I glanced back through the picture windows into the restaurant.
ÂÂ
Crawling out from under my table was the woman from my emails. She was dressed in a dark navy power suit, just like all the other business people there enjoying their lunch. She ran a finger across her lips, patted her hair and smoothed down her skirt. Then she headed for the door, like nothing had happened. She walked away like it was no big deal that she’d just crawled out from under a table, in a restaurant full of staring rich folk.
ÂÂ
She waved to the hostess, who gave her that patented little sly grin back, and she calmly walked out. That’s when I realized why the hostess had seemed so familiar to me. The two women were spitting images of each other – give or take twenty years or so.
ÂÂ
Mother and daughter? Must be. Had to be.
ÂÂ
Did they plan this together? Nice.
ÂÂ
Very sneaky, I thought, and wondered, what else do they do together?
ÂÂ
I grinned to myself and watched the lady as she moved off down the sidewalk, heading away from the spot I was standing, her big ass swishing from side to side with each step. I watched until she turned the corner and disappeared. Then I decided it was time to go myself.
ÂÂ
When I turned to leave, I caught the hostess staring at me through the window.
ÂÂ
She was laughing, quietly, to herself. A private little laugh, just between me and her. She flashed me the smile. Gave me the dimple. Then she ran her tongue lightly along her lips and blew me a kiss. A warm tingle shot up my spine, gave me goosebumps. The tiny hairs on my arms and neck stood up. The kiss looked and felt like an invitation, like a promise of things to come.
ÂÂ
This time I waved back.
ÂÂ
She smiled again and played with her reservation book. I felt her eyes on me, burning into the back of my head as I left for my car. I could hardly wait to get my next email. I was so excited that I didn’t realize I’d forgotten to take the rest of my food until I pulled up into my driveway.
ÂÂ
Ah, who cares? The meal was free, anyway. I could always make a sandwich while the computer boots up.
The intro to some late night talk show had just rolled when Pam walked through the front doors of the gym and checked in. She smiled and waved at me from the counter, and I smiled and tipped my water bottle back at her as she walked into the dressing rooms.
I was pedalling furiously on one of the stationary bikes and the eleven o’clock news had just finished its broadcast. I’d been watching on one of the televsion sets mounted to the ceiling in front of me, waiting for some word on the disappearance of three local women this last month, and for a mention of a trial date for accused rapist Marvin "Marv" Caruthers, an old art teacher of mine who had recently become internationally famous.
The same weekend the three wo

men went missing, Marv had tried to use that fame to rape my former sister-in-law.
I just got back into town after my little trip with Laura (my ex-sister-in-law), maybe a week ago. The two of us had taken a weekend trip to a summer art festival, where Marv was the guest of honor. Truth be told, the only reason I went with her on the trip was to satisfy a long time urge to fuck her silly myself. And when I realized that probably wasn’t going to happen, I had to satisfy myself with attacking three women I knew, who were just down there to blow off some steam at their little annual reunion.
I knew them from work - Jill, Linda and another Laura. Each of them were regular customers at one of my stores. They were all in their early forties and darn attractive. By the time we hooked up at a carnival beer garden, they were already drunk, hot and horny. And I was frustrated as hell at Laura and Marv, who were acting as if they’d arranged the weekend as a little get-together for themselves.
So, after an uncomfortable dinner with Marv and Laura, we dropped Marv off in the hotel parking lot, and I walked Laura back to her room, expecting to get involved in a little hanky-panky. But she seemed to blow me off, and then I met Marv as he was sneaking up the stairs to Laura’s room with a bottle of wine and an amorous twinkle in his eyes.
Instead of dumping Marv headfirst off the balcony, I decided to take my frustrations out on the three drunk ladies instead.
I should stop right here and explain a couple things. A year or two ago I was wandering around in Laura’s home, peeking into her private life. At the time I was married to a woman named Jennifer - Laura’s sister-in-law. I was in the bathroom, busy taking a leak, when Laura walked in and proceded to strip naked, hop into the bathtub and masturbate, right in front of me.
And she never knew I was in the room.
I discovered something new about myself that afternoon, while I was jacking off into her bathwater.
Later that night, Laura and her husband Ken (Jennifer’s brother) threw a house-warming party. Laura made a drunken pass at me, and I took a rain check in order to test out my new-found power on someone else.
I ended up raping one of the party-goers, a woman named Lisa, in the same bathroom I’d watched Laura bathe in earlier that afternoon.
I can’t tell you how much fun it was.
I’ve always had a dark fantasy life, sexually speaking, but that was the first time I’d ever acted on any sort of impulse - with an unwilling partner. And that was the first time my power manifested itself in a really visible, in-your-face sort of way.
An awakening in some respects.
Along the way, I divorced Jennifer, picked up a few sex-slaves, and underwent some rather baffling physical changes. Suddenly, in my thirties, I’ve had a growth spurt of five or six inches (and not just to my height), lost some weight, grew back some hair, and now I feel better than I have since my early twenties.
And I’ve slowly discovered more disturbing elements to my new-found abilities.
I still have very little control over what happens with my power. But I do know that, generally speaking, its manifestations run hand-in-hand with whatever kind of sexual situation I find myself in.
And more and more, the sex I like is brutal and twisted. I see a woman - literally, almost any woman, young or old - I see a fuck toy. Something to be used, and then thrown away.
Case in point: the three ladies from the beer garden.
When I left the hotel I wandered back to the carnival (which was closing for the night), and ran into a couple old cronies: two on-the-lam hispanics named Jose and Freddy, who had raped an old sexpot waitress with me the night I took my first slave. They were working as carnies now, and we talked about my plans for the evening.
And they were interested in joining in on my night of fun.
Just a few minutes later I met up with the ladies, who had sobered up a bit, and they took me back to their little rented bungalow.
The night didn’t turn out to be quite what they expected. I fucked them, and then tied them up like presents on Christmas morning for the festivities to follow. My two buddies and about thirty of their greasy, horny, ex-con co-workers followed us to the bungalow and rang the doorbell just as I was blowing my load into Jill.
Tonight on the news the ladies were officially declared as missing persons. The police presume foul play, but currently have few leads and no suspects.
Poor ladies. Their families look so sad.
I’ve been thinking about them. Their families. I’ll get around to...comforting...Jill’s teenage daughters sometime soon. Maybe in the fall, when they go back to school.
Catholic schoolgirls. Yummy.
And I can’t forget poor Marv.
Marv, Marv, Marv. The fact that he’s going to prison for just trying to bone Laura (well, and attacking umpteen other women, one of whom he drugged and raped after fucking up with Laura) - when I committed a much, much worse crime - should bother me, I think.
But it doesn’t. The fact that I didn’t get to screw Laura - my fucking sister-in-law! - again bugs me more.
Strange.
Which is why I’m here at the gym, sweating and wondering about the deviant change to my nature, instead of being home and asleep in my nice, cool, air-conditioned bedroom, or home, busy fucking one of my three live-in slaves in the ass.
There I go again.
Now, see, this is what I’m talking about. Not a thought runs through my head these days without turning foul and crass.
"Hi Matt."
Pam startled me. I was so lost in thought, I hadn’t seen her walk out of the dressing rooms.
"Hey there."
She smiled down at me and pointed to the treadmill next to my bike.
"Mind if I join you?" she asked.
Other than the savagely tan, super-fit employee manning the counter, the gym was pretty empty. In a room behind us, a couple guys were on the basketball court shooting hoops, playing one-on-one, there was one other guy using the bikes in the aerobic area, and a handful of serious steroid freaks in the weight room.
So Pam could use any one of a dozen vacant treadmills.
I grinned and shrugged.
"Sure."
Pam stepped onto the treadmill and started it up. She’d changed into a pair of black and yellow lycra running shorts and a matching sport bra, and her running shoes looked brand new. The treadmill was on my right. Pam jogged in place just in front of me.
The recumbant bike I was riding was low and parallel to the floor, so I had a nice view of her ass as she ran.
She was in her mid-to-late forties and was darn attractive. At some point, I’d developed an irresistable urge to fuck older women. Pam was just at my perfect age.
I knew her because she used to work for my company, although she’d already turned in her notice and quit right before I took over ownership. But she and her family - her husband and three daughters - were still regular customers of mine.
Like the three ladies I’d fucked at the carnival.
Pam had really short, frosted blonde hair, nice green eyes, and a warm smile with full lips and even, white teeth. She wore little gold hoop earrings that bounced around as she ran. She wasn’t in bad shape at all - a little poochy in the lower stomach, a little thick in the legs, maybe.
But she looked pretty damn good for an older bitch who’d spit out three kids.
In fact, her body reminded me a lot of Laura’s: big - no, make that huge - tits, with a little waist that curved into nice wide hips and a big, juicy ass. From where I sat, I couldn’t see any stretch marks on her stomach or her back.
BIG plus.
My penis thought so too, and started crawling out of the top of my sweats.
Here we go, I thought.
And then my dick took over.
A very clear image popped into my head as I watched Pam’s tits bounce up and down; of me yanking down her shorts, bending her roughly over the treadmill control panel and shoving my dick in her ass as hard as I could.
No sooner had the thought entered my head when Pam moaned and stumbled on the treadmill. She grabbed the crossbar in front of her and got her rhythm back, then her head whipped around in my direction.
I was busy watching some stupid woman on television, eating pie without using her hands, trying to win a mug with a picture of the shows’ host on it. I looked over at Pam and gave her a dazzling smile, and she shook her head and smiled back at me. I returned my attention to the show, but caught Pam staring at my crotch before she turned around again.
When the clock on the bike told me I’d been pedalling for an hour, I stood up and decided to hit the free weights.
"Have fun," I told Pam as I wobbled by and patted her hand. She gave me a weak grin and nodded.
I was going to work on my legs, but after seeing Pam I changed my mind. I still wanted to get a good workout but my legs were already rubbery from the bike, and I wanted to be able to stand and move around without feeling like I was going to keel over later. So I stretched a bit, then decided to work my chest instead. I could feel her eyes on me as I piled weights onto a bar and started to bench press.
The little fantasies came in spurts as I worked out.
I was almost done with my bench sets and was now fantasizing about Pam sitting on top of me - naked except for her bra, which had been pulled down under her breasts - and she was riding me hard.
In my fantasy everything was dark, but I could see the ceiling of a room above us. Pam’s eyes were closed tight and she had a look of utter terror mixed with intense lust on her face. Her hands were braced on my chest, and she licked her lips with quick flicks of her tongue as she ground her pussy around on my dick. I slapped her cheek and she stopped moving suddenly, moaned, and her head snapped back.
I swore I could feel her fingernails digging into my chest, her warm pussy clamping around my dick, and a sloppy, wet jet of her cum squirting over my crotch as she rode an intense orgasm.
Across the room, Pam cried out.
It was a long, low moan - just like in my fantasy. She fell off the treadmill and sat, stunned, for a second. Then she jumped up and bolted for the dressing rooms as I plopped my weights back into the racks with a clank.
One of the steroid-freaks, busy posing in the mirrors close by me, grunted.
"Stupid bitch. Probably forgot to shove a tampon in her snatch before she came out."
He went back to his private pose-off, tensing his calves over and over. I laughed at his funny ha-ha, massaged my triceps, then grabbed a pair of dumbells and started work on my delts.
ÂÂ
With Pam gone, the rest of my workout went pretty quickly. No more fantasies. I hadn’t seen her leave yet, so she might still be around. I thought about waiting for her for a few minutes, but then I smelled my armpits and said fuck it.
I wanted a shower.
So I wandered into the mens dressing rooms, only to find the showers roped off for cleaning. Some tiny asian guy waved me away and yelled "Twenty minutes!" over the deafening roar pouring out of his Walkman’s headphones.
"Dammit," I muttered, and made a bee-line for my locker. No way was I going to sit in my soaking-wet sweats for another twenty minutes. One of my slaves - Shelly - was home tonight. If I left now I could make it home in half that time and enjoy a nice blow-job from Shelly while I showered.
So I popped my lock, grabbed my bag and my keys, and marched out into the lobby.
I looked around for Pam, kind of hoping I might not have missed her. Steroid boy was in the back of the gym with a spotter, doing set-after-set of squats with about five hundred pounds bent over his shoulders. But that was it. No Pam.
"Are you looking for somebody?"
The hardbody at the counter gave me a big, toothy smile as she pulled her hair into a long ponytail. She was cute, with the long, lanky body of a runner.
I gave her a smile back.
"Yeah, I guess. My friend - the woman who was on the treadmill a bit ago? I just wanted to make sure she was okay."
She nodded.
"Oh, right. Pam." She pointed to the doors. "You just missed her."
ÂÂ
I left the gym and beeped my keypad, unlocking my BMW, when somebody behind me cleared their throat. I spun around and found Pam grinning sheepishly at me, showered and dressed in a white t-shirt, tan walking shorts and brown leather sandals. A big bag was slung over one shoulder.
"Hi." I grinned.
She glanced at the ground and shuffled her feet.
"Sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you, I, uh..."
I tried to catch her eye.
"Are you okay?" I asked. "You kinda ran out of the gym like you just ate at Taco Bell and had to run for the border."
She looked up at me like I was an idiot. So much for a stab at juvenile humor.
"I just got a little...dizzy." She closed her eyes and ran her hands through her damp hair. I used the opportunity to stare at her boobs. I spied a nice, flowery white bra underneath the thin cotton of her t-shirt. I managed to avert my eyes when she sighed and opened hers. "I was hoping you wouldn’t mind giving me a ride home."
That took me by surprise.
"Seriously?"
She blinked and nodded her head a little, and said, "Um. Yes?"
"Didn’t you drive here?"
She laughed. Finally. I didn’t mind, even if I had to play stupid to get it. It was a nice, hearty laugh, and it made her boobs bounce a little. I had trouble pretending not to notice.
"No, no. I walked."
"Walked to the gym."
"Yep."
"I’ve never heard of such a thing."
She laughed again.
"It’s true."
"Will wonders never cease."
She looked around at the deserted parking lot. The gym was located in a strip mall that was nestled into a little business district at least a mile or so away from the closest homes. If Pam lived anywhere near me, she was looking at long walk home, alone, late at night.
Kinda scary. My heart went out to her.
Maybe I should give her a ride home, I thought. I haven’t had any excitement for a while.
The familiar buzzing at the back of my neck started just before I replied, and I felt my power flow out of me, into Pam. She shivered and rubbed her arms. I could see the goosepimples popping up on her forearms.
"Tell you what, Pam," I said. "I’ll give you a ride if you strip down to your underwear and suck my dick on the way."
Her mouth popped open and she blinked at me in surprise. I opened the door to the back seat of my car and tossed my gymbag inside.
"Excuse me? What...what did you say to me?"
I looked at her like I had no idea what she was talking about. Pure innocence.
"What do you mean?"
Her mouth moved a little before she answered.
"I... I could’ve sworn you asked me to..." She shook her head again and opened the passenger door. She sat down, and I slipped inside next to her and started the car.
"Nevermind," she smiled like it was no big deal. "I appreciate the ride."
The stereo turned on and Pam clicked her seat belt in place and primly crossed her legs. I turned the volume down so we could just hear the music and pulled out of the parking lot.
Pam looked uncomfortable, like she’d just made a big mistake.
She had no idea.
"Which way am I going?" I asked.
"Oh...uh, right," she pointed to a stoplight down the street. "Sorry. Then a left at the light."
"Would it be easier to take the freeway?" I pointed at the freeway sign mounted up by the streetlights. "We could jump on the entrance down by the train tracks. The next exit lets us off right by my store." I glanced over at her. "That’s pretty close to your house, isn’t it?"
She nodded at me.
"I suppose, if you want to."
Oh boy. The cold shoulder.
This could be a long ride, if she decided not to talk.
So I asked about her daughters, and after a few friendly questions, she warmed right up again. Pam told me that her oldest daughter, Kim, was getting married in a week and she was completely stressed out. Which is why she’d come to the gym tonight; to burn off some of that pent-up anxiety.
"And besides," she admitted, sheepishly, "I want to fit in my new dress."
I gave her a quick smile, careful to look her right in the eyes.
"You don’t need to worry about that. I think you look great."
She blushed and turned away, but I could see her reflection in the window.
For my efforts, I just got a BIG grin.
With a little more prodding, Pam got so busy telling me about all the wedding arrangements and the problems they’d been having that she didn’t notice when I turned off the main road leading to the freeway ramp, and instead followed an old, bumpy road down to an old, abandoned warehouse, hidden from view by a thirty-foot concrete wall on one side of the freeway, and three hundred yards of overgrown trees and brush on the other.
She stopped talking and held on for dear life when we hit the gravel road that ran around the warehouse. The car started bouncing like a ping-pong ball. I managed to drive around to the loading dock without snapping an axle, then I stopped the car and killed the engine.
"Wh-why are we here?" Pam looked around wide-eyed, one hand braced on the car console, the other wrapped tightly around the ‘oh-shit’ handle above her window.
The warehouse belonged to one of my slaves. She inherited it from her father after he and her brother died in a car ‘accident’. A friend of mine had recently been using it to film illegal porn, but I knew nobody would be around tonight and the location was private as you could get in the middle of the city, so I figured we wouldn’t be distrurbed.
I didn’t have any solid plans for the rest of the night, but I was pretty sure at this point that Pam wasn’t going to make it home anytime soon.
So here we were.
Outside, it was nice and dark. The roar of the freeway just a few hundred feet away drowned out any sounds we - she - might make.
Time was waistin’, and my dick was screaming at me to get on with the action.
So I popped our seatbelts.
Pam flinched as hers whipped by her head and smacked into the window. I let my power juice up, just a tiny bit. I wanted her to be aware and scared of what was happening, but I didn’t want much of a fight from her tonight, either.
"I told you I’d give you a ride as long as you stripped down to your skivvies and sucked my dick. I kept my part of the deal - now it’s time to keep yours."
I scootched up against the back of my seat and slipped my sweats and my underpants down around my knees.
Pam backed as far into her seat as she could, quick, both of her hands up, waving around like she was trying to ward me off.
"Oh...God. Matt, please, put your pants... back... on..."
My dick had been at half-mast since we left the parking lot, and now it fell out of my pants and onto my leg with a meaty slap. She got one look at my cock and her hand flew to her mouth. It wasn’t even close to being erect yet, but it was still almost as long as her forearm, and easily as thick.
"Go ahead, touch it."
She shook her head frantically, holding out her hand as if to ward my penis away. I grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her closer to me, then wrapped her hand around my cock. She squeezed her eyes shut and turned her head, but her fingers clamped tight around me.
I moved her arm back and forth slowly, making her stroke me.
She tried to beg.
"Matt, please..."
So I hit her.
Her head snapped back, but she kept her grip on my dick.
"Good girl. Now take off your fucking shirt ," I hissed. "And don’t you dare let go of my cock, or I’ll hit you again. Do you understand me?"
Pam nodded, sniffling back tears. She hunched over and used one hand to pull off her t-shirt, until it hung around her other wrist.
"Now your shorts. Sandals, too."
She kept her face averted and struggled a little, but managed to unbutton her shorts and kick them off. She hooked her sandals with her toes, and then she was just how I wanted her.
"Sit up straight," I ordered. I pulled the straps of her bra down over her shoulders until the flowery cups fell down just under her round, pink nipples.
Wow. My dick shot straight out at her. She jumped a little, and looked down at it despite herself.
"Hold it up with both hands. Look at it."
She had to lean over the gearshift to do it, and I spread my legs to help.
"Grab it right at the base. Yeah. That’s a good bitch."
Pam had both her hands wrapped around my cock, pointing it straight at her face. The tip of my dick rubbed her neck, right under her chin. She tried to hold her breath and keep her head up. She looked like a drowning woman, trying to keep her head above water.
I laughed at her and smacked her face again.
"Mouth it. I want to feel it go all the way down. I want to see it bulging in your throat."
She started shaking her head, sputtering that it was too big. So I hit her again, harder.
Blood trickled down her chin from her cut lip. I grabbed a handful of her hair and forced her to look at me.
"You never, never say no to me again, you fucking bitch. Do you understand me?" I shook her hard enough to make her cry. "From now on, you do whatever I tell you, or you’re a dead bitch."
"Oh-h-h-h Go-o-o-d-dd! Please...!"
"You think I’m kidding? Think about it. How easy was it for me to get you here? How easy was it for me to make you take off your clothes? Huh, bitch?" I shook her until her tits jiggled. " Now open your mouth and suck my fucking dick! "
I rammed her face down on my cock. She screamed and gurgled, then I pulled her back up by her hair and rammed her head back down, once, twice, three times, until she was kicking and frantically grabbing at my arm. I held her there, enjoying the warm, comfortable feeling of her mouth on me, her neck constricting around my penis.
I counted to twenty, slowly, then let her up for air.
Pam coughed and spit, gagging and gasping for breath.
"Can you suck me like a big girl now?" I asked, not unreasonably.
She nodded, wiping off the thick, wet cobwebs of spit dangling from her chin.
"Oh-okay. Okay. Please don’t do that again, Matt. Please."
I pointed and gave her head a little shove back in the direction of my penis.
"Suck. It. Good."
She paled a little more and braced herself with her hands on my legs.
"I want the best fucking blowjob you’ve ever given anyone. Ever. And you better not stop unless I tell you. Understand?"
"I... I understand." Pam bent over, took a deep breath, and for the next five minutes, I was in heaven.
She cupped my balls with one hand, and while she worked me, I leaned my seat back and relaxed, letting my right arm drape over her body. I gently stroked her back, her neck, her hair. She jumped and gave a little moan when I slipped my hand down her panties and started to play with her pussy. After a minute or two she relaxed and a warm, wet little trickle seeped out of her pussy, around my fingers and into her panties.
Her head was moving slowly all the way down my knob, and I could hear her gag as she hit bottom, and I could feel her tongue licking and lapping on her way back up. Then she’d pause at the top, sucking and slurping on the head of my dick, using her free hand to jack me off while she would gently squeeze my balls or tickle my ass with her fingers, and back down she’d go.
I was ready to cum. But I didn’t want to do it while she was blowing me.
I’d already decided that I wanted to roll her over, face first, on the car seat, then spread her legs and cum in her ass. I was just about to push her over when I heard the loud ‘Whoop! Whoop!’ of the police siren, and saw the swirling red and blue lights flashing in my rearview mirror.
"Holy crap."
Then someone rapped hard on the window, and a flashlight beamed in on my face, startling me.
My heart almost stopped dead. I didn’t know what to expect, so I let a flood of power build up and flow out of me, letting it wash away in a large circle.
I took a deep breath and rolled down the window.
"Uh. Excuse me sir, but did you know this is private property? You’re not supposed to be here."
The flashlight beam moved out of my eyes, so I could see. The cop staring sternly down at me was pretty, and young. The girl couldn’t have been over twenty; really, she looked like she was sixteen and just off the high school softball field.
Then she shifted the light again and noticed Pam, staring up at her with a bloody, spit and tear-streaked face, her hands still wrapped around my cock.
I smiled, but the girl-cop backed up a step and pulled her gun.
Crap. The little bitch just pulled a fucking gun on me!
So much for talking my way out of this one. This wasn’t going to be pleasant.
"Sir, please step out of the car."
"Officer, I..." I mumbled.
"Out-of-the-car." She tried to make it sound threatening, but her voice squeaked and her hands shook. That, and the fact that she was about five feet tall kinda ruined the Dirty Harry effect. "Keep your hands up."
I carefully opened the door and eased outside. When I stood up, my sweats fell down to my ankles, and my dick practically reached out and tried to poke the cop in her belly.
Her eyes popped open, and she whispered, "Holy shit!"
Her eyes held on my dick for second, then flickered to Pam, and finally back to me.
"Is it okay if I pull up my pants?" I asked.
Her voice shook as she levelled her pistol at me.
"Just turn around and put your hands on the roof of the car!"
This was not my night. I sighed and turned around.
"Okay," I said and plopped my hands on the edge of my car roof.
"Don’t move," she warned me, and I heard the snap of a button, the creak of stiff leather, and the jangle of handcuffs. I felt the rough material of her uniform rub against my outstretched ass as she reached for my wrist. I was a good foot and a half taller than her, and I figured that I was feeling her stomach rubbing on my butt.
Awkward for me, but just as bad for her. I wanted to get out of this situation without giving her a chance to get those handcuffs on me.
Now or never, I thought, and spun on her with my elbows swinging. I had judged the level of her head just right, and my aim was right on.
She was off balance enough that when my elbow hit her hard on the temple, she dropped flat on her back onto the sharp gravel. She grunted and her gun flew out of her hand and skidded off towards her cruiser, stopping seven or eight feet away.
A bad night for her too, full of stupid mistakes.
And then she made another.
With my pants down, she had me at a disadvantage. But instead of trying to put some distance between us and mace me, she rolled over onto her stomach and went for her weapon.
Really bad move.
I took one hop and landed on her back. I heard the breath whoosh out of her, and then I had her pinned. I wrenched the handcuffs away from her, and a second later both of her arms were locked tight behind her back.
"Stupid fucking bitch!" I screamed into her ear.
She was scared stiff, but she tried to put on a good front. "Let me up, or...Ugnpgh!"
"Shut the fuck up." I ground her face into the rock and dirt. She cried out and fought, twisting and kicking, but I had all my weight resting on the small of her back, and without her hands to help, she had nowhere to go.
She had a speaker for two-way walkie-talkie hooked to her uniform. I ripped it off and threw it into the bushes, then stood and pulled up my sweats while she squirmed around.
"Oh God...don’t...you’re making a huge mistake! My...my backup’ll be here any second, and..."
Fuck.
That was something I hadn’t thought about.
Unbelievable.
My adrenaline high suddenly took a bad turn.
I was wound as tight as a drum, and had to take a couple deep breaths to calm myself down. It really didn’t matter, even if there were a hundred more cops heading this way, but I wasn’t thinking clearly at all. My power already seemed to be in overdrive, but now it kicked into another gear.
Suddenly the world spun around me, and then I popped into her head. I could feel her panic, her pain, and her realization that she’d really, really screwed up.
And I knew she was bluffing.
"You never called for any backup, you stupid twat." I spat. "You just thought you found a couple little teenagers necking in mom’s car and decided to have a little fun without telling anyone."
"What... How did you... How did you know...?"
"Not a real smart girl, are you?" I growled. "What’s your name?"
"Off-Officer Griggs."
I shook and smacked her until she squeaked.
"Your first name!"
"S-Stop! Please! Cheryl! My name’s Cheryl!"
"Cheryl. That’s a good little bitch. Now, let’s see you in the light."
She wore her blonde hair in a ponytail. I wrapped it in my hand and dragged her, kicking and screaming, over to her police cruiser.
On the way, I kicked her gun off into the bushes with her walkie-talkie, and then I threw her face-down onto her cruiser, pounding her face into the hood until her knees buckled and the fight went out of her.
"This is definitely not going to be your day, Cheryl." I said as she lay, crumpled, on the hood.
I unbuckled her gunbelt, then hucked it away too. No sense in taking any chances that she might realize she could still grab some mace.
Or anything else she could use as a weapon, for that matter.
One belt down, one more to go.
A heavy leather belt held up her trousers, and I unbuckled that, then unsnapped and unzipped her dark blue pants and let the weight of the belt drag them down to her ankles.
I stepped back to have a better look.
Lord, she was thick. I had a sneaking suspicion that I was probably right about the softball, too. Her ass was wide and round and her legs were well-muscled, and she was wearing a pair of plain, black cotton panties.
So, so not-sexy. Just more proof that real life wasn’t like Penthouse Forum.
I flipped her over and she moaned, blinded by the glare from her cruisers’ blinking lights. My dick wanted me to see her tits, but her uniform and body armor hid her womanly treasures, so I yanked open her shirt. Her body armor was a one-piece vest, pulled over her head and velcroed together under her armpits.
I ripped apart the velcro and eased the vest off over her head, pulling her upper body forward as it slipped off. Cheryl fell back onto the hood of the car and her shirt flopped open, giving me my first good look at her whole body.
After finding the dull panties, I half expected to find either a woman’s undershirt or a plain, funtional bra. Maybe a sports bra. Certainly nothing arousing. But Cheryl surprised me, treating me to a sweet, lacy black bra - with a tiny pink flower sewn onto the spot just between the flowery cups that supported a nice, full pair of tits.
I wedged myself between her knees and forced her legs open.
"Wh-what are you going to do?" She whined.
I considered.
"Do you have a boyfriend, Cheryl?"
She bit her lip and shook her head.
"Girlfriend?"
She closed her eyes and turned away from me. I slapped her lightly and asked again.
"Cheryl, look at me when I’m talking to you." SLAP! "I asked you a simple question. Do (slap) you (slap) have (slap) a (slap) girlfriend ?"
That got her attention. She opened her eyes, focused on some point over my shoulder and nodded.
"Please stop. Please..."
"Is she a cop too?"
She nodded again.
I kept my hand at her eye-level. "You ever suck dick?"
She blinked and her lip trembled. I raised my hand and she nodded again.
"You ever fuck a guy?"
She squeezed her eyes shut.
SLAP!
"Agh...Nnnnooo! No!"
"Really?" I asked. She started to cry. Quietly, but with big, wet tears rolling down her bruised, bloody cheek. "Cheryl, are you a virgin?"
A BIG SOB this time.
"Yes." She whispered.
"But you’ve given blowjobs?"
"YES! YES! YES!" She flipped out, started screaming and kicking and thrashing around. "Goddamnyoumotherfucker, LET-ME-GO!"
I grabbed her around her neck and squeezed until she stopped kicking and her eyes rolled around in her head.
"Wow," I said. "A dyke cop that sucks cock. This I’ve got to see."
I looked over my shoulder. Pam was still sitting in my car, scared to death, watching us through the back window.
"Pam!" She jumped when I shouted her name. "Get out here! Now!"
Pam walked over to us, still just wearing her undies, treading carefully on the rocks.
I shook Cheryl, just enough to get her attention.
"Where’s your nightstick?"
Her eyes were wide with panic. "In...in the car. In the front seat."
I looked back at Pam, standing there in her underwear. My dick throbbed, and I jerked my head at the cruiser.
"Get it. Quick."
While Pam rooted around in the car, I ripped off Cheryl’s ugly fucking panties.
Her pussy hair was so light, at first I thought it was shaved to the skin. A quick feel, however, reavealed a nice, soft, trimmed bush.
I gripped my dick and rubbed the head over her pubic hair, and then up and down her pussy lips. She groaned as I pushed, and her body tensed as I forced an inch or so of my dick into her cunt.
"Nice and tight," I whispered, and her hips bucked against me.
She tried to squirm away, but her feet were tangled in her pants. She was so short her legs just dangled over the edge of the car, and she couldn’t get any leverage. Her heavy shoes just bounced off the fender as she kicked and squirmed.
"I found it!" Pam eased her way back around to the front of the car, holding a gleaming black billy club, about a foot long and and inch or so thick.
Perfect. Time to fuck.
"What do you want me to do...with...it? Pam stopped and stared at my dick, the tip just wedged into the lesbo-girl-cops virgin pussy. Her hand flew to her mouth, and she murmured, "Oh, JesusGodAlmighty."
"Climb up on the hood with her and shove it in her mouth. Cheryl’s gonna show us how a lesbian sucks dick." I looked at the terrified girl squirming under me, and my vision blurred.
Pam shook her head. "Matt, please don’t do this. This is so wrong..."
Something was happening to me. My entire body suddenly felt like it was on fire.
"Get on the fucking car!" I growled. In my ears my voice sounded like metal scraping metal.
Pam cried out and jumped up onto the car, whimpering, trying not to touch me.
"Shove it in her mouth!"
She tried to do it gently, but Cheryl had her mouth squeezed shut and was shaking her head frantically from side to side.
A blood-red haze flooded through my brain, and I wrapped both of my hands around Cheryl’s neck and choked her until her body was bucking wildly under me and her eyes popped wide open.
But her mouth stayed shut.
"Matt, please! She can’t breathe!" Pam was screaming at me, wild-eyed, but held the club steady over Cheryl’s face.
"Good." I growled, and thrust my hips forward as hard as I could.
A heart-wrenching cry filled the air as I ripped into Cheryl’s tight pussy. Her eyes bulged and her back arched, pushing her stomach and chest against mine. Her mouth worked, finally opening as Cheryl desperately tried to draw air.
"There! Shove it in!"
Pam slipped the round, black tip of the club into Cheryl’s mouth, and I pulled my dick out a few inches and pounded into her again. She bit down hard with the pain, and her teeth crunched through the varnish of the wood club. She tried to scream again, but managed just a choking wheeze.
"Now fuck her face with it."
"Matt..."
"DO IT!" I screamed.
Pam shrank away from me, but began pumping the club up and down, like a plunger. Cheryl started to spasm and buck, forcing me deeper into her pussy. I stopped choking her and bit down on a soft, pink nipple instead. It hardened in my mouth as I sucked on it, flicking it with my tongue. I grabbed her other breast with my hand and squeezed, and I heard her draw a strangled breath when Pam lifted the club, and then came a gurgling groan as it was pushed back into her throat.
"Harder! HARDER!"
Pam was crying hysterically now, her huge jugs bouncing in her bra as she pumped the club up and down, in and out. Cheryl gagged and choked and her eyes bulged with fear, her body thrashing around madly underneath me.
I chewed on her nice, juicy tits, held on and enjoyed the ride. After a few minutes, Cheryl’s thrashing had died down to little, jerky twitches, and soon she went limp. Pam kept slamming the club in and out, and I started fucking the unconscious girl.
Just a few minutes later I came so hard I thought my balls exploded. I heard a loud, primal scream, an awful sound that emanated from somewhere deep in my body, and I passed out.
ÂÂ
I woke to find myself lying on the ground with my head cradled in Pam’s lap, her arms wrapped tightly around me. She was sobbing my name, rocking me, pleading with me to wake up, to be okay, not to be dead.
The anger - the bloody, violent rage that had engulfed me after the cop pulled her gun on me was receding, but it took all my willpower to just reach out and stroke her cheek.
I had another flash of her, looking radiant, dressed in a white and violet gown, bent over a wooden chapel pew. I was wearing a black suit and my pants were down, and I was busy fucking the hell out of her ass. She was gasping little, soft cries as my hands pulled the top of her dress down over those fucking huge, beautiful tits, and we were surrounded by other people, all in various stages of undress, fucking like dogs in heat.
Pam jerked back, breathing heavily. I tried to sit up, and almost went under again. I got my elbows under me and waited until my vision cleared again. When it did, I saw Cheryl, slumped on the ground by her cruiser, her eyes open and vacant, staring blankly up at the night sky.
"I...I think I killed her," Pam whispered, and buried her face in my chest.
Killed...her.
Cheryl wasn’t the first woman I’d condemned to death after the power started to take control of me, but she was the first I’d actually been fucking when it happened.
My vision blurred again. Pam’s body touching mine had started the burning sensation, back in the pit of my stomach. I couln’t take my eyes off the still, quiet body lying just a few feet away. I felt the blood pumping back through my penis, and some sick, dirty part of me wondered what it would be like to crawl over there, roll Cheryl over and shove my dick into her unresisting ass, and fuck her.
"Matt, we’ve got to get out of here!" Pam begged. "Please!"
I nodded, and she helped me to my feet. I had a brief, dazed thought about how this was a crime scene, and that I should probably try to clean my prints off of her car and the other stuff that you always see movies. But the dark voice in my head laughed happily and told me not to worry.
No one would ever know, it said confidently.
And as the air around us grew sharp with static electricity, I believed.
ÂÂ
I drove Pam home.
She sat quietly, staring out the passenger window, still wearing nothing but her underwear. I’d pulled my sweats back up, but had taken off my t-shirt, which had blood spattered across it. Pam said it had spurted out of Cheryl’s mouth while she was fucking her with the club.
Taking a last look at Cheryl’s face, I didn’t argue.
After I passed out, she’d continued to pummel Cheryl with the billy club, until she realized she was probably dead. I’d been unconscious for about ten minutes before she stopped and let Cheryl crumple to the ground. When Pam realized she was really dead, she tried to wake me up.
She didn’t say much on the way back to her house. I had to ask her for her address and find her place without her help. When I pulled up in front of her well-kept, two-story victorian, she just stared out the window until I got out of the car, opened her door and walked her to her porch, carrying her bag with her clothes inside.
There were three cars parked in the driveway, but except for the porchlight, the house was dark. Her hand shook as she stuck her key in the lock, and when the door opened, the dark, twisted part of me took over again, and I followed her inside.
She twisted around as I reached for her, and dropped her bag.
"Matt? Wha...?"
I pulled her close and kissed her, thrusting my tongue into her mouth. She tried to push me away, but I held her by the waist.
"No! No!" She whispered. "My husband’s here! I..."
Ignoring her, I wrapped my hand in the band of her underpants and pulled. It snapped and I tossed the remains into the dark room and pulled down my sweats.
I kissed her again as my dick pressed into her belly, and I pulled her down on top of me.
"Matt, my family, please don’t..."
I laid on my back and settled her over my hips. Her pussy rubbed against my dick and she moaned a little, shaking her head. I relaxed and let the control of my power disappear. The room spun, and I arched my back, slipping my cock into her. She braced herself, her hands against my chest, and let herself slowly slide down my shaft.
Her body trembled a little as she settled down on me, and she licked her lips. Her pussy was already soaking wet.
"Fuck me Pam."
"God, please, don’t..."
"Fuck me, like you imagined you where when we were at the gym."
Her hips began a slow, grinding circle. She was panting a little, and she closed her eyes and her fingers clenced my chest. I reached up and slipped my fingers into her mouth and she sucked on them, moaning a little.
"How did you...?"
I felt the first clench of her pussy muscles, and the first little flood of her juice on my legs as she warmed up, and her grinding circle became a slow, rhythmic bounce.
"Because right now, I’m God."
She closed her eyes and I squeezed her tits as she rode me, her head thrown back, her arms quivering, and then she was cumming, her butt bouncing wildly, slapping my legs and her fingernails digging into my chest.
"Matt, oh God, Matt oh God, Matt..." she chanted, quietly. She stopped suddenly, tensing, then her body jerked once, hard, and a river of warm fluid ran over my legs as she came.
She collapsed in a heap on top of me, weeping. She wrapped her arms around me and nuzzled my neck as I continued to slowly fuck her.
"Oh God, I can’t believe this..." she sobbed into my neck. "I... love... uh...uh... my husband, and my... uh...uh...uh... my girls are... uh... asleep... mmmMMnnnggh..."
I hate a crying woman.
Usually.
"Pam?"
"Uh... uh... W-What?"
I liked the way she felt against me, warm and soft. I wrapped my arms around her and squeezed her ass.
"Are all your kids here tonight?"
She shook her head, and gulped a breath of air.
"Nuh- No... no. Kim’s got her own a... a... apartment..."
Shit. I was kinda hoping to fuck them all tonight. Now I had to change my plans.
Then a thought occurred to me.
"I want an invitation to your daughters wedding."
She raised up a little, looking at me oddly.
"Why?"
I grinned and smacked her ass.
"You’ll see." I grinned. "I’ll even dress up. What are you going to wear?"
She settled back down on her elbows, her face hovering just above mine. She was having trouble concentrating; her nipples brushed my chest with each of my thrusts and her breath was coming in sharp little gasps.
"A...a white dress w-with vi-violet t-t-trim..."
"Wear a garter belt and stockings too. Okay?"
"Wh-why?"
I grinned and squeezed her ass harder.
"Because I said so." I licked her neck and she groaned. "And no panties."
When I pulled her against me again, I felt her pussy loosen around my dick and then clamp back down. It spasmed, like she was trying to push me out, and she collapsed on me, tangling her fingers in my hair and kissing me. Her little tongue flicked into my mouth and I sucked and nibbled on it as another warm, wet flood spurted from her cunt and trickled down my hips.
I let her ride out her orgasm, and when she finished I rolled on top of her and hooked my arms under her legs. She wrapped them around my neck and pulled my face down to hers.
"That goes for your girls, too." I whispered and let my weight rest on her.
"M-My girls?" she moaned.
I laughed.
"Yep. And," I added, "I want a seat right behind you."
And then I bit her neck, squeezed her tits and let my cock take over.
ÂÂ
On general principle, I really don’t like weddings.
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve hated going to church. Hard benches, nothing to do but listen to sermons so boring you can’t even fall asleep, and enough nasty old-lady perfume floating around in the air to make your nose bleed. Those same old ladies - wearing their big hats so you couldn’t see anything good anyway - turning and ‘shushing’ you every time you sneezed because of their nasty perfume.
Yuck. Forget it.
Although, come to think of it, that might be were I developed my older-woman fixation. All those matrons, dressed up in their Sunday best, passing me around from bosom to bosom, hugging me and pinching my cheek, giggling and telling my parents what a sweet boy I was while I felt them up.
The good old days.
Anyway. I should’ve known my marriage was doomed. Especially when Jennifer nixed my idea to invite a few friends and our close family and get married on the beach, and insisted instead on having a traditional Catholic wedding with a bunch of jerk-offs neither of us even knew.
Reminded me a lot of this one.
The church was crammed full with a hundred or so guests, and we were all impatiently waiting for the show to get on the road. The groom fidgeted and adjusted his bowtie for the umpteenth time, whispering something to his best man, who grinned and watched as the priest smoothed back his comb-over. I picked out Pams two younger daughters, Jenny and Katie, among the brides-maids, blushing prettily in their dresses, playing with their bouqets and smiling nervously out at the crowd. I was decked out in my new black suit, uncomfortably squeezed into one of those wooden pews right behind Pam, along with several of their closest, nasty-perfume wearing friends.
The youngest of the ladies - an attractive, fifty-something, plumper version of Pam - who was wearing a low-cut white satin dress with matching gloves and hat, reached over and patted my knee. A strange bolt of pleasure shot up my leg as the feather in her hat tickled my nose.
What the fuck, I thought to myself. No time like the present.
I’d held my power in check all morning, waiting for the bride-to-be to start her walk up the aisle.
No real reason to wait any longer, I thought, and I let the floodgates down. The tingling started at the back of my neck, and I felt the power flow from me, quickly radiating outward in a circle, like a ripple in a pond.
The room warmed up considerably, even with the air-conditioning going full blast.
The women around me started fanning themselves, their cheeks suddenly turning bright pink. A chorus of throat-clearing filled the air as men loosened their ties and unbuttoned starched collars. Teenagers wiggled in their seats and licked beads of perspiration from their lips; their already over-loaded hormones kicking into high gear. The air turned static, and parents tried to quiet giggling children who squealed happily as they playfully zapped each other with their fingers.
The woman patting my knee took a deep breath, let her hand rest on my thigh and leaned over, flashing her ample cleavage.
"How do you know the family, dear?" She smiled and her eyes twinkled. "Are you an old boyfriend of Kim’s?"
I cleared my throat.
"Oh, no. I’ve known the family for... Well, quite a while." I gave the gloved hand resting on my knee a little squeeze. "I’m Matt."
"Hi Matt. I’m Sarah, Pam’s sister." She locked her fingers in mine and shifted my hand into her lap. "Are you here all alone?"
I nodded.
"No. I don’t believe it."
"It’s true. Crazy as it seems, I came all by myself."
Sarah snuggled closer, and her hips bumped into my leg. She wrapped my hand in both of hers and sighed.
"Your wife couln’t come today?"
"I’m not married." Not anymore, anyway. "How about you?"
She smiled.
"I am...not. No, I prefer the single life. Keeps me feeling young."
Sarah leaned against me, and my arm rested against her breast. She sighed and adjuted my hand, then whispered conspiritorally in my ear. "I don’t approve of this wedding at all, you know. I was trying to talk Kim out of going through with it at the rehearsal yesterday. She’s too damn young to get married. I should know - her mother and I both got married much too young. I guess Pam doesn’t mind, she’s happy for Kim. But I think she should take some time, go to school, see the world and get laid." She grinned, then sighed. "That’s what I’d do, if I where her. But I’m afraid none of that’s going to happen."
She looked at the groom, nervously chewing on his fingernail.
"Look at him. Not even a man yet. I don’t even think he needs to shave." She harrumphed.
I laughed.
"I’m sure Kim likes him just the way he is."
"Yeah, right. What does she know? She’s still a child." Katie looked me up and down. "You’re an attractive young man. If you know her so well, why didn’t you ask Kim to..." she trailed off as the doors in the back of the church opened. All heads turned and everyone stood as the wedding march started. Sarah and I stood along with the crowd, and I heard the rustle of her dress as it settled over her underclothes. She held onto my hand and pressed against me, peeking over the shoulders of the people standing in the row behind us.
Kim’s father beamed proudly as he guided her towards the altar. Sarah dug the fingers of her free hand into my bicep.
"Oh, she looks beautiful though. Doesn’t she?"
I agreed. Kim was tall and willowy, with her fathers height, but with the full, hourglass figure she inherited from her mother. Her long, sun-bleached hair was pinned up under the gauzy veil that obscurred her pretty, California surfer-girl face, and her long, flowing wedding dress trailed out behind her. When they reached the altar, she stopped and kissed her dad, then gracefully took the steps to stand next to her fiance.
The guests oohed and aahed over her for a few moments, then the priest cleared his throat, we all sat, and the ceremony began.
After giving away the bride, Pam’s husband Jack sat down and wiped a tear from the corner of his eye. He whispered something to Pam and kissed her on the cheek.
Pam glanced back at me, a worried, haunted look in her eyes. Sarah gave her a happy little wave and raised our clenched hands. I smiled at her reassuringly, and Pam turned back to the ceremony, suddenly looking even worse.
"Poor Pam. She’s completely stressed out over this," Sarah said and rested her head against my shoulder.
"Uh, huh," I said, non-commitedly.
I relaxed as best as I could and while everyone else turned misty-eyed, I busied myself with blowing the annoying feather out of my face and staring down Sarah’s dress. Until - finally - the priest asked if anyone present objected to this marriage, blah-blah-blah, speak now or forever blah-blah-blah.
You know the drill. I figured this was the most appropriate moment for what I wanted to do, and I let my power loose again.
The tickle in my neck tickled, and next to me, Sarah wriggled. In front of me, Pam jumped. A collective moan went up from the guests, but this shot was directed towards the pew in front of us, and the group of people standing at the altar, specifically.
The priest lost his place for a moment, but recovered nicely. And Kim, who had been so relaxed through the ceremony, suddenly stiffened. I saw her glance over at her smiling groom, and as the priest intoned the ‘Do you, Kim, take this man’ speech, she did a little dance, hopping back and forth from one foot to another, like she suddenly had to use the bathroom.
Kim blinked at the priest, as if she hadn’t heard the question. He tried again.
"Kim, do you..."
This time, she turned to her fiance, who held her hands and smiled encouragingly. Sarah sat up straighter next to me, trying to get a better view. I grinned to myself, trying to remember the exact words Sarah had used a few minutes before...
Kim visibly shook herself, like she was trying to wake up out of a bad dream, and answered.
"I...I’m sorry, Tim. I can’t. I...I want to take some time, go to school." She smiled weakly as her fiance’s face melted. The crowd around us hushed as Kim continued. "I want to travel and see the world, and, and..."
"What?" Her fiance looked like he wanted to shake her. Or punch her in the mouth. "And fucking what?"
"And get laid!" She yelled.
You could’ve heard a pin drop, the room got so quiet.
I definitely heard Kim’s bouqet fall to the floor, right before she rushed down the steps and out the door, sobbing. Her sisters and the other bridesmaids followed her, and the rest of the guests stared at the closing doors in shock. The poor kid left standing at the altar looked like he’d eaten something bad and really needed to take a dump. His best man tried not to laugh and flipped the wedding ring he wouldn’t have to hand over.
I heard him say "I told you so," and I decided to put the clamps down. I remembered the fantasy I’d had of fucking Pam in the ass at the wedding, and let loose with another blast of power.
In front of me, Pam’s husband was coming back to his senses, and was getting ready to run after his daughter. Pam grabbed him by the arm and pulled him back.
"Jack."
"Pam, we’ve gotta go see what the hell’s wrong with Kim..."
She shook her head.
"Jack, I want a divorce."
Jack sat down. Pam stood up. Sarah gasped. I grinned and started rubbing the smooth material covering her thigh.
"What?" Jack looked like he’d been pimp-slapped.
Pam glanced at me and took a deep breath as my power flooded the room. Around us, I could see men, women and children staring at each other. A few people were already groping at each other on the benches.
"I’m leaving you and taking the girls. We won’t be home tonight."
And with that, she ran after her daughters.
Which caught me kind of by surprise. I think I looked about as shocked as her husband.
A teenage boy sitting behind us finally lost control and grabbed the tits of the old, grey-haired woman seated next to him. She popped him with her handbag, but then threw her arms around him and shoved her tongue down his throat. A couple already busy kissing fell off the pew next to us and rolled around on the ground, trying to undo pants and pull up skirts at the same time. The woman sitting just next to Sarah unzipped the pants of the man next to her and went down on him. He spread his arms out on the back of the bench and sank down with a sigh as her head started bobbing.
Jack stood and watched his daughters beautiful wedding suddenly degenerated into an monster orgy.
The groom and his best men surrounded a very pregnant young lady across the aisle from us, and bent her screaming over the pew. The groom ripped her dress open, all the way up her back, until it hung from a small strip of material just around her neck. He yanked down her panties, taking her from behind, and ran his hands up over her swollen belly to her milk-engorged tits. He found the clasp to her bra, just between her breasts, and unsnapped it, letting the bra hang loosely off her back. Another man shoved his dick in her mouth and fucked her face while the groom milked her, squirting jets of watery looking fluid from her titties onto the other guys trouser legs.
In a matter of seconds, she was surrounded by men, stroking their dicks, waiting their turn.
Before all hell broke loose, I tried to let anyone with children out. All the younger kids suddenly needed to use the bathroom all at the same time, and it looked like most of them made it.
One woman with a younger girl wasn’t so lucky. She and her daughter were intercepted at the doors by a group of ushers. The woman was pinned to the floor by four or five men, her blouse ripped open and her skirt pulled up to her waist. She screamed as they held her down and fucked her, until one of the men stuffed his dick in her mouth and forced him to suck her. An older man grabbed her daughter, a pretty girl of maybe ten or eleven, and sat down in a vacant seat and plopped her on his knee. He kissed her little neck and played with her golden curls as he lifted the hem of her cute pink dress. The girl wiggled and squirmed on his leg as he unbuckled his pants, and he told her how sweet she looked as he ripped her white, ruffled panties. Then he picked her up and dropped her little, virgin pussy onto his dick.
She screeched, and her pretty curls bounced as he fucked her.
On another bench, a newborn baby screamed for its mother, who was busy riding a young boy, who in turn was busy nursing the woman as she ground her pussy against his hairless crotch. Warm milk oozed from her brown little nipples as the boy noisily sucked away.
All through the chapel, people were fucking. Young men with wizened old women, bald old men with hot-bodied girls. Whoever a person was closest to, they fucked. The air filled with the smell of sex, and the gasping, moaning and panting of people in heat.
Jack stood and watched.
Then a hand reached around, cupping the bulge at his crotch, unzipping his pants. Jack turned to find the priest, smiling at him, his robes pulled up over his erect cock. Jack looked at the man, then down at his own dick poking straight out of his slacks. The priest gripped him, and then they fell behind the bench, out of my sight.
I congratulated myself. A job well done.
And then Sarah unzipped my pants, hiked up her skirt and bent over the bench.
"Come and get it," she smiled.
I tried to picture the woman I was fucking in my fantasy. I’d thought it was Pam.
Maybe not.
Sarah gasped as I pulled out my dick, hard and ready, and I shoved her slip up over her big ass. Underneath, she was wearing a white garter belt and white, silk stockings. I yanked her panties off to one side and rubbed the tip of my dick up and down her pussy lips. She hissed with pleasure, squeezed the top of the bench with a death-grip and wiggled her ass at me.
"Fuck me," she said, and pushed herself onto my cock.
So I had to adapt my plans a bit. Again. No big deal.
I reached around and grabbed Sarah’s tits, pulling the top of her dress down over them. They bounced out into my hands, and I gave them a nice squeeze and shoved my hips against her butt. Her head snapped back and she wiggled harder while I played with her tits. They were packed into her bra, and her nipples poked up through the lace into my palms. I fucked her pussy for a minute to lube up, then pulled out.
There was one thing from my fantasy that I wasn’t going to change.
"Hope you like to get butt-fucked, Sarah."
She moaned, and I reached down and grabbed my dick, shoving the tip into her asshole. The palm of my hand was slick with her juice, and I rubbed it off on her dress while I worked my way into her butt.
God. That felt good.
The kid behind had torn apart the old ladies dress, and was so anxious to fuck her he didn’t bother to pull down her nylons or her underwear. He was just shoving his dick into the material, grunting away, slowly ripping his way into her pussy. She was grabbing his ass with her clawlike fingers, trying to get him to kiss her while he humped away. The women in the chapel outnumbered the men about two to one, and one poor guy was pulled off of the sweet young thing he was boning by a gang of grandma’s and splayed out in the aisle. They took turns fucking him; one fat old lady riding his dick, another sitting on his face.
All of them giggled when his screams floated out past her flabby butt-cheeks, sounding a lot like muffled farts.
I couldn’t see the pregnant girl at all anymore, just guys waiting, yelling encouragement at whoever was fucking her.
The one black couple in the chapel during the ceremony was also getting their fair share of attention. Standing in a circle of women, his pants pooled around his ankles and his shirt torn off, the guy was busy screwing a cute teenage girl while the other ladies pawed at him. The woman was riding an older guy who was laying on the floor while another guy fucked her ass, and she gobbled a ring of five or six cocks that smacked at her face. She had gobs of cum dripping from her chin down her neck, soaking the front of her light purple sundress, turning it transparent enough to see the lacy white push-up bra underneath.
Her nut-brown ass jiggled as the guy pounding away behind her started to cum.
He pulled out and sent stream after stream of sticky white cum across her back, falling back on his ass as he climaxed.
And then another guy pushed him roughly out of the way and shoved his dick into her butt.
She screamed around a mouthful of cock and vainly tried to push him away while somebody came on her face. The new guy fucking her ass quickly found his stride, and wrapped his ams around her in a bear hug. Somebody else grabbed her wrists and yanked her arms up over her head, giving everyone a great view of her big tits when her dress was ripped open down the front. Her bra went seconds later, and then the two guys fucking her mouth pulled out and greased her exposed titties.
Her man noticed and tried to help her, but before he could reach her, he was pulled down by a huge, grotesquely fat old lady. Both he and his big cock disappeared with a grunt, and the women around him cheered.
There was a perky-bodied teenage asian girl lying on her stomach, spread-eagled on the floor, looking ready to pass out. A hairy, sweaty, fat man sat with her head buried on his lap, his cock lodged deep in her throat, and another guy was on top of her, viciously screwing her from behind, both of his hand digging into her ass-cheeks. A line of guys about ten deep stood and stroked themselves, waiting their turn.
The sound and smell of sex filled the air.
I pulled Sarah closer and her hat fell off, bouncing over the bench in front of her. Her hair was pinned up in a tight bun, and I ran my hands through it, loosening it until thick, pale blonde curls swirled through my fingers. I gently toyed with her hair and she played with her pussy, purring like a cat. She ground her ass against me in a slow semi-circle, and while she fucked me, I marvelled at how closely she resembled Pam.
She reached behind me and cupped the back of my head with her hand, then pulled me close and kissed me. I lost myself in the feel of her body, the insistent probing of her sweet little tongue in my mouth.
And then I blew my wad so hard, cum shot back out of her ass, all over my legs.
I let myself lay on top of her and relaxed, forcing her down on the top edge of the bench. All around us, guys were busy blowing their loads, then they would wipe the sweat from their faces and dive back in for more. The jolt I’d given them should keep the action rolling for a few hours. Who knew what would happen after that.
Now that I was finished, it was time to hunt down Pam and her girls. I figured that I’d take Sarah along for the ride as well, so I pulled out, wiped my dick off on her stockings, then dragged her with me as I stepped over knots of writhing bodies and picked my way out of the chapel.
We found Pam and her daughters in the upstairs dressing rooms. Pam and Kim were both sobbing, the other girls trying to console them.
"Time to go," I said.
By the time we left the church, it was almost dark.
Sarah sat next to me in the passenger seat, holding my hand, a cat-that-ate-the-canary smile plastered on her face. In the back, Jenny and Katie were crammed in next to Pam and Kim, who spent the entire ride blankly staring out the windows. Pam looked shell-shocked. She’d poked her head into the chapel door as we were leaving, and I had to physically drag her out of the building.
"Evil." She kept muttering. "Unholy."
Sarah threw her a reprimanding scowl, then smiled at me again and squeezed my hand.
"Well, I don’t think so." She turned to me and licked her lips. "I think I found God."
Over the last months as I’ve acquired more slaves, I realized that I needed more space to keep them. Susan - the same slave who owned the warehouse property were Pam and I raped the policewoman - recently signed over the titles to several new properties to me, which included a new townhouse style apartment complex that would now be the new home for Pam and her family. It was nice and comfortable, roomy enough for all five women, and tucked away in a cul-de-sac, isolated and well hidden from prying eyes.
Kim looked up as we turned into the driveway.
"Were are we?"
Pam looked at her daughter.
"Hell."
I parked the car in the garage and led the ladies into their new home. I tossed a keyring on the kitchen counter as they looked around. The house was already furnished, the kitchen stocked with food and appliances. Susan had been in charge of getting it ready for the girls.
"This is where you’ll all be living from now on." I said. The buzz at the base of my neck sent little tingles down my spine, and my dick perked back up.
"What do you mean? Kim asked. "I don’t understand what’s going on. I..."
"Who all here has had sex?" I asked.
Each of them looked at me like I was crazy.
Pam raised her hand.
Sarah smiled at me and blew me a kiss.
The girls looked at each other, and Katie blushed.
"Well, well, well." I looked at Kim, who glared back at me. "Saving yourself for that special someone?"
Pam piped up.
"She’s a good girl."
"Not for much longer."
Kim and her sisters looked at Pam.
"Mom, what the fuck’s going on? Who is this guy?" Her veil was still pinned in her hair. Kim brushed it back as she talked. "Why are we here?"
Instead of trying to explain, I started to strip. The girls watched me with wide eyes, and Sarah grinned when I stood up, naked, my dick hanging down almost to my knees. Pam tried to keep her eyes on the floor, but she was starting to fidget.
I turned to Kim, and my dick throbbed.
"This is where you’ll all be living from now on."
I walked over to her as I spoke. She tried to take her eyes off my dick and failed miserably.
"Wh-what do you mean? I’ve got my own...place..."
"Not anymore." I smiled. "Now, girls, if you would, why don’t you grab your sister and hold her down for me."
"What?"
Kim tried to back away, but tripped and fell right over the coffee table. Her sisters grabbed her arms, and her mom and aunt each took hold of a leg and spread them open. Kim pleaded with her family, her words falling on suddenly deaf ears.
"Why don’t you shut her up for me?"
Jenny clamped a hand over Kim’s mouth as I walked into the kitchen. I found a nice big butcher knife and walked back to the living room, my dick swinging out in front of me. I knelt between Kim’s legs and ran a hand over her sweet body, enjoying the look of terror on her pretty face, the feel of her full breasts under her dress. Using the knife to cut her skirt open, I ran my hand up her stockings and played with the garter wrapped around her thigh.
"You’re mine now Kim. From this moment on, you and your sisters and your mom and aunt. You all belong to me."
Kim jerked and her body heaved on the table, but her family held her down.
I cut away her panties. Her little pussy was nice and pink, her little asshole just waiting for me to ream it out. I bent over and licked her clit, running the tip of the knife along her ass, making her squirm, her screams muffled under her sisters hand. I tongued her for a few minutes, then got into it, really eating her out, until slop from her pussy ran down my chin and dripped off her ass.
Then I got up on my knees, bent over her belly and pushed my dick into her pussy. She screamed as I took her virginity, her body bucking wildly. I held on and pushed until my balls slapped her ass.
"There’s just nothing like taking that sweet, bloody cherry, you know that, bitch?"
God, she was tight. Kim cried and whimpered while I fucked her, and her titties were bounced around enticingly with all her thrashing. Grinning, I cut open the bodice of her wedding dress, and then ripped it open to her navel.
"Time to see the titties," I said, and sliced her bra open. Her breasts were nice and firm, with perky nipples so hard they could poke your eye out.
I used my hands, groping her, enjoying the feel of her cool, smooth stockings rubbing on my legs, the lace of her dress in my hands. After I came I let her family take turns, but I pulled Katie back with me. I sat on the couch and watched Pam suck her daughters pussy while I taught Katie how to give her first blow job.
This was going to be a great next few days, I thought, and pushed the girls head down farther onto my dick. I heard her jaw crack and her fingers scratched and clawed at my ass, but she didn’t bite down. I felt myself slide slowly into her warm, wet throat, and sighed.
I was going to enjoy myself here. Knock ‘em all up and breed these bitches.
And why stop here? Why not take a new girl a day. Everyday.
Hell yeah. Why not?
I pulled the straps to Katie’s dress until they snapped. I leaned over and pulled her skirt over her cute little ass. She whimpered but kept slurping my schlong, getting me nice and horny again.
It was the middle of June, and I was sweating my ass off, trying to look interested as my ex-sister in law oohed and aahed over ridiculously overpriced paintings.
A few years back, when I was still married, Laura and I had made a deal to go to this yearly, weekend long art festival. She and my brother-in-law, Ken, had suddenly turned into semi-rich yuppies and decided to start collecting ‘art’. During a period of strange sexual flirtation between the two of us and, I assumed, that because I’d once aspired to be a painter, Laura had asked me to go along wit

h her to ‘help her pick out a few pieces’ for their new house.
It seemed like an interesting way for the two of us to spend a weekend together, hidden in a hotel, away from the prying eyes of our spouses.
As the years went by, I never really thought it would happen. To be honest, I knew the whole idea of our mutual attraction was probably just my little fantasy. But, after couple kids for her and a divorce for me, here I was, wandering around in a huge tent, baking in ninety degree heat and ogling her ass, while she chatted with pretentious artists and asked me my opinion of crap that she hoped might look good over her fireplace.
"Oh wow, Matt. He’s here!"
Laura grabbed me by the arm and bulled her way through a crowd of hip young women that had gathered around a tall, middle-aged beatnik, wearing - of all things, in this heat - a black turtleneck sweater and a beret cap, with black denim jeans and Birkenstock sandals over dark grey argyle socks. The beatnik was holding court; stroking his salt-and-pepper goatee with a smug look on his chubby face and chatting with a group of rapt young ladies.
I groaned.
The old hepcat was Marvin "Marv" Caruthers.
He’d been a teacher of mine, from back in my college days. Marv became a local legend in the professional art world not long after I graduated from school. He once told me - while he was critiquing a piece of mine during class, a torturous weekly ritual/slash ‘class discussion’ that he fully enjoyed stretching out as long as possible, just to see me squirm - that, in his professional opinion, I should simply give up my aspirations to be a painter and change majors, because I would never amount to anything as an artist.
Not because I wasn’t talented. Oh, Lord knew I had talent to spare. No, not that, he said. I should quit because I didn’t have the drive to succeed.
Way to be supportive, ‘Teach.
Eventually I graduated and had a few, small shows at some local galleries, from which I got some nice reviews but never made any sales of note
After which I slowly drifted out of the art world. Just like old Marv called it.
Marvin, on the other hand, had a sister who lived in Manhattan and owned a gallery. As a favor to her brother, she showed some of his work, and Somebody Famous - I forget who exactly - purchased one of Marv’s paintings for an astronomical six figure price, and he never looked back.
Fucker.
I hated the guy. Not only because he nailed what would eventually become of my career with the assessment of a single college assignment, but also because he finally made it. Big time.
And his work just plain sucked.
Really.
But Laura and Ken loved his stuff. They’d met him a few times over the years and owned a couple of his prints. The rumor was that he was going to be the guest of honor at this year’s festival.
Lucky us. Here he was.
"Mr. Caruthers!"
I let Laura pull me along as she waved a rolled up pamphlet at Marvin, trying to get his attention. He turned as the crowd parted and burped us out.
When he saw Laura his polite smile broke into a wide, lecherous grin.
"Laura! What a surprise to see you!" Marv gave his mustache a dashing twist and held out his arms. My jaw hit the floor when he hugged Laura and kissed her on her cheek.
The women around him glared daggers at us. Laura was oblivious and Marvin ignored them. And as all this was occurring, I was wondering, just how the hell did he remember Laura’s name, much less know her well enough to give her a hug and a kiss?
Then he gave her a little pat on the butt, and Laura giggled.
Okay. So now I was pissed. And I couldn’t quite figure out if I was I concerned for Ken, or ticked off because I thought that sonofabitch might have snuck into Laura’s pants before I did.
Marvin stepped back and held Laura by her shoulders, looking her up and down. His grin turned decidedly…slimier.
"My. Laura. It’s been...quite some time, hasn’t it?"
"About a year, Marv."
"You look lovely, as always."
Laura practically quivered with excitement as Marvin carefully looked around.
"And where’s your husband?"
"Actually, Ken’s not here. He had some business this weekend." Laura turned and waved me closer. "So I came with my brother in law, Ma--"
"Matthew!" Marvin grinned. He snatched my hand and gave it a quick squeeze, clapping me on the shoulder at the same time. His palm was clammy. "Talk about old times! I barely recognized you!" He squinted at me from behind his little, round, wire-framed eyeglasses. "You’ve grown up a bit since college, haven’t you?"
I groaned to myself, but tried to make nice. "It’s good to see you again, professor Caruthers."
He pursed his lips, waved his hand in my face and made a sound like a leaking balloon at me.
"Pssst! Please! No need to be so formal, son! Please, call me Marv!"
I tried a smile that felt more like a grimace, and nodded. "Uh, okay…Marv."
He patted my shoulder again and turned back to Laura.
"I taught this young gentleman. He had unbelievable ability. I went to one of his gallery showings after he graduated. Incredible work. Absolutely incredible."
I rolled my eyes, but Laura looked at me and grinned like Picasso himself had just complimented me.
Marvin finished pumping my hand and looked straight at me.
"I haven’t seen your work lately though, Matthew. Have I?"
I retrieved my hand and wiped it off on my pants. I gritted my teeth and clapped Marv on the shoulder hard enough to make him wince.
"Not lately, no." My turn to grin as he rubbed his shoulder. "But you’ve done well."
"I was hoping to hear you speak this afternoon," Laura piped up. "But we didn’t get here soon enough for tickets."
Marvin suddenly lost all interest in me.
"Well, we can fix that, I think. I’m heading over to the small tent now, if you’d like to join me?" He held his arm out for Laura. She took it and she looked at me, pleading with her eyes.
I decided to try my luck at the beer garden instead, and shook my head.
"You kids go and have fun. I think I’ll pass. A cold pale ale is calling my name."
Marvin looked relieved.
"Wonderful. The session will just take an hour or so. Perhaps we can all meet at the beer garden for a fine meal afterwards?"
"Sure," I muttered. "Sounds great."
As I watched Laura wander off with my old professor, I wondered again if they’d already slept together. Eventually I realized I was standing there alone, still compulsively wiping my hand off on my shorts.
"Rat-bastard motherfucker."
I shoved my hands in my pockets and wandered out of the tent towards the smell of sausage and pretzels, wondering what the hell I was doing here.
Laura had picked me up that morning in her new Saab. Outside, the temperature was already hovering somewhere in the mid-eighties, and she cranked up the climate control and turned the stereo down to a low rumble.
I settled into my seat and got comfy, watching her and listening as she babbled excitedly about the trip.
Laura looked fresh and clean, and the car smelled of her perfume, like the soft scent of flowers in the breeze. She was wearing a white, v-necked t-shirt with a push-up bra that showed off her tits, hip-hugging khaki shorts, and flip-flops. Her pale blonde hair was buzzed short in back, and her bangs hung down around her eyes. They blew around her face in the breeze, and she shook them out of the way as she talked.
I suppose I’ve always had a little crush on Laura. Even back when I was married.
She’s got a pair of incredibly huge, cannonball-size breasts, and a tiny waist that tapers into wide, curvy hips and a big, round ass. She was a bit overweight and geeky when I first met her, but she’s always been pretty, and over the years she’s obsessively worked her way into pretty good shape. After she had her first child - right when Ken started his business and began making some serious money - Laura started hitting the gym hard, going a couple times every day. Now she’s a poster girl for the Gap.
It’s not like she’s beautiful; but to me, she just radiates sex.
About a year ago, I happened to be wandering around alone in her new house when Laura came home unexpectedly. I was in her bathroom taking a piss at the time, and I almost shit my pants when she walked in on me and proceeded to take a bath, completely oblivious to me. It was like I wasn’t even there. As far as I can tell, that was the first time my power manifested itself.
I made her masturbate, and I jacked off into the tub watching her. Later that evening, at her housewarming party, Laura made a drunken pass at me. I didn’t take her up on it. I had other plans by then. Instead, I made Laura fall asleep on a couch, and I spent the evening testing my new-found power by raping a friend of hers - in the very same bathroom where I’d watched Laura play with herself just a few hours earlier.
Then I went through my divorce, and we lost track of each other for a while. A couple of weeks ago, we ran into each other at a trendy new restaurant while I was on a date with a woman named Susan, who I was preparing to turn into a sex slave.
Laura asked me to join her for the weekend, here at the festival, just the two of us.
So here I was.
And there she went.
The crowd followed in their wake and I made my way outside, alone.
The art festival was really part of a bigger summer promotion for one of the small, local college towns - a month-long parade of the arts that drew thousands of tourists to our state like bears to honey.
Right now, the whole town was in the middle of ‘German-Fest’.
Just alongside the art tents was a huge park with a kid-friendly carnival and an open-air beer garden for the adults. You couldn’t walk more than ten feet without running into some sun-burnt fat guy wearing Lederhosen, singing along to polkas and swinging a mug of dark, foamy beer.
The smell of elephant ears, sausage and sauerkraut filled the air, and my mouth watered, even as I mentally grumbled about Laura.
I made my way to the beer garden and stood in line, ignoring everybody around me. I paid my five dollar admission to a perky blonde with braided pig tails. She stamped the back of my hand with a picture of a beer stein and handed me a small roll of ticket stubs in exchange for a twenty dollar bill.
"These are just like cash inside," she grinned.
"Great."
I’m not really a big drinker. In fact I usually hate beer, but it was so fucking hot out I would’ve gladly chugged a glass of cold dog piss. So I took the tickets and then waited in another line, paid another three bucks (well, three ticket stubs, anyway) for a cold bottle of beer, and went to find a seat.
Easier said. The garden was packed with people trying to beat the heat.
I wandered around the picnic tables, sipping my beer and listening in on snatches of conversation. At some point, I realized someone was calling my name.
"Matt? Matt, is that you?"
I turned to find three women sitting at a picnic table at the back of the tent, with a bunch of empty beer bottles scattered around the top of their table. They were all grinning at me, waving.
"Uh, Hi?"
One of them scooted back the wood bench she was sitting on, ripping up carefully tended grass. She stood up and I finally recognized her as she waved me over.
"God, it is you! Matt, it’s Laura. Laura Faasi. I shop at your store, remember?"
"Laura! Hi."
She surprised me by giving me a hug. I could smell the alcohol on her breath, and as I looked over her shoulder, I recognized the other two ladies from my store, too.
Laura broke her clinch and gave me a big smile.
This Laura was tall and attractive, in her early forties, and if I remembered correctly, married with three young kids. She was wearing a see-through white blouse over a white silk camisole that were tucked into a tight pair of faded Levi jeans; cut-off and torn up the sides to show off her long, tan legs.
I smiled back at Laura, and her friends took turns sizing me up as she sat back down.
"How are you ladies?"
"Hot," she said, grabbing my arm. "Here, why don’t you join us?"
She pulled me down next to her, and waved to her friends.
"You know Linda and Jill?"
"Of course." I smiled at them, and they beamed back at me.
They were all about the same age. Jill was petite and pretty, with straight brown hair that fell to her shoulders. She wore black horn-rimmed glasses and had on a tight black shirt that hugged her body, Her faded old Levi’s were still pretending to be pants, but were worn enough to give me a few tantalizing glimpses of her own tan legs through all the holes. Her dorky glasses and Birkenstock sandals fit right in with the neo-hippy theme next door at the art festival. At first glance, Linda appeared to be a little older than her friends. She was prematurely grey, with bits and pieces of black still mixed in here and there in her curly hair. But she was gorgeous, with sky-blue eyes that matched her light summer dress. She smiled at me and played with the label on her bottle of beer. I was sure that Linda and Jill both had teenage kids, but I couldn’t remember if they were married or not. I didn’t see any wedding rings.
Jill finished her appraisal of me first.
"We saw you wandering around next door in the tent, but we didn’t want to interrupt you and your wife."
I raised my eyebrows.
"My wife?"
Then I got it.
"Oh. You mean Laura. No, we’re not married, I mean, she’s married. I mean, she’s my sister-in-law. But I’m not married. So she was my sis...oh shit."
They were all smiling at me with little, encouraging smiles, completely confused. Yet another reason I don’t drink. Two sips of beer, and I can’t think straight. I shook my head and tried again.
"I was married, and Laura - who I was hanging out with today - is married to my ex-wife’s brother. We’ve kept in touch, and..." I shrugged. "Well. Here we are."
Laura looked back over her shoulder.
"Where is she now?"
I tried to hide my grimace by sipping some beer. It didn’t quite work.
"At the tents. I think she’s probably swooning over one of my old teachers from school."
"What?"
I let out a sigh and swished the beer around in the bottle.
"Long story. Right now, she’s over listening to the festivals guest of honor pontificate to his adoring masses."
Jill tossed her hair out of her face, and I admired the gentle slope of her neck.
"You mean Marvin Caruthers?"
I nodded. "Yep."
"He was one of your teachers?" She looked interested.
I shrugged. "If you could call him that, sure. Why? You like his work?"
Jill laughed. "Are you kidding? He’s the biggest pompous assfuck I’ve ever met, and his ‘paintings’ (she made little quotation marks in the air with her fingers as she spoke) are a load of shit."
I must’ve looked a little stunned, because Laura patted my hand.
"Jill owns a gallery in town. She’s an art snob."
I laughed and saluted Jill with my bottle.
"Finally. Someone who agrees with me. Here’s to a lovely lady with taste."
We all drank as Jill blushed. "You don’t like him either, I take it?"
"I think he’s a prick."
She grinned. "He’s definitely milking his success. I bet he’s already tried to sleep with half the women here." She made a face. "Disgusting, creepy man."
Linda leaned over. "So you’re an artist too?"
"I used to paint a little, and I did some commercial art to help pay for college, but I haven’t done anything for…a long time."
Jill smiled. "You should come by my gallery sometime and show me your portfolio."
Laura and Linda laughed hard enough to blow beer over the table. Linda elbowed Jill in the ribs.
"’Show me your portfolio’" she snorted. "Slick, girl."
I looked around at the ladies. The flirting had started, but I seemed to be just catching up to the party. I tried to change the subject.
"So. What are all of you doing here?"
They grinned at each other. Laura flashed me a smile.
"We were roommates here in college. Every year we come back and spend a week together, getting drunk and pretending to be twenty again."
I looked at the bottles strewn around.
"Seems like you’re off to a good start."
"Well, you know. We’re only here for a week. We’ve got a lot of catching up to do."
"Where are you staying?" Jill asked.
I shrugged. "I dunno. Laura booked the hotel. I think it’s across the street from the park. How about you?"
Laura answered.
"At the Riverview bungalows. How long are you going to be here?"
I shrugged again. "Just a couple nights, until Sunday."
Linda elbowed Jill, and they giggled like teenagers.
"What?"
I looked at each of them, and Laura blushed.
"Don’t...!" She groaned.
My turn to be confused. "’Don’t, what?"
Jill was laughing in her cup, and Linda leaned over the table and pretended to whisper, "Laura was, um, concerned, that you might have been, uh, attached."
I wasn’t quite sure what I was hearing. "Attached."
"She thinks you’re cute."
Laura groaned again. I half-turned and grinned at her.
"You think I’m cute?"
She glared at Jill. "You started this. You’re the one who said the thing about his ass."
I turned back to Jill.
"What about my ass?"
She grinned and bit the edge of her cup. Laura egged her on.
"She mentioned something about ‘covering it with whipped cream...?"
Jill stared me down, still playing with her cup. She gave me another dirty little grin, and I felt something warm and smooth and soft touch the inside of my leg. "I said I wanted to cover your ass with whipped cream and lick it clean."
Then she wiggled her eyebrows at me and tossed off her drink.
"Really?"
She nodded, and I looked over at Linda.
"And what did you say to that?"
"Oh, I agreed with her." Linda grinned and batted her eyes. "But I wanted to lick it off something else."
And so it went.
I let the ladies buy the drinks and talk. Jill told me all about her ex-husband and his demands for a good Catholic education for their two girls, who were going to a private school. Linda told us about her boy, Stevie, and his high-school graduation, and Laura showed us pictures of her three kids. By the time Marvin and Laura found us, the three ladies were well beyond happy and the flirting had amped up to a dangerous level. Jill’s foot had long since found its way up to my crotch, and Linda was leaning over the table, giving me nice view down her dress and eating french-fries out of my hand while Laura shared sips of beer with me.
Heaven could only be so nice.
"Looks like you’ve made some friends," said a voice from behind me.
Linda sat back, munching happily, and I turned to find Laura and Marvin, arm-in-arm, walking up to the table.
Jill’s foot disappeared, and I bit my tongue and made introductions.
"Uh, right. Marv, Laura, this is Linda and Jill, and, uh, Laura." The girls made a few grunts of acknowledgement.
"Lovely ladies. I’m very pleased to meet you." Marv took off his beret and bowed.
What a gentleman, that Marv.
The lights from the tent gleamed on his bald spot, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jill and Linda struggling not to laugh.
"I think we’re gonna need another round." Jill grabbed some half-full plastic cups and stood up. "Be back in a ‘sec."
I watched Marv watch her go, rubbing thoughtfully at his beard.
"Matt..." Laura - sister-in-law Laura, not the tipsy Laura next to me rubbing my thigh Laura - touched my shoulder. "Marvin was going to treat us to dinner, if you’d like to come."
Marv plopped his beret back on his head at a jaunty angle and clapped me on the back.
"Come on, my boy! There’s a lovely little Italian bistro just around the corner. We’ll reminisce about old times over pasta and drinks!"
Laura looked at me, mouthing the word ‘please?’, and grabbed my hands.
"Oh. Uh, okay. Sure. Sounds great."
I swiveled off the bench, and Marv turned back on the charm.
"If you ladies will excuse us?"
"Sure, sure. You go have fun." Linda said, and she and Laura waved and giggled as I was led off, good old Marv already talking a mile a minute.
The motor-mouth kept it running right through dinner.
I slurped my spaghetti as Marv regaled us with stories from his most recent trip, motorcycling across Europe.
"...so I spent two months knocking about in Italy, and then I went back to Paris. And I was so inspired (heavy, fork-waving emphasis, there, on inspired) by the utter beauty (more fork waving) of the French countryside that I..."
Laura looked enraptured. For my part, I tried not to slobber marinara sauce on my shirt. While they ate dessert, I drank a couple cups of espresso to try and counter all the beer that was still swilling around in my system.
By the time the espresso took hold, I was hyperactively bouncing my leg up and down and playing a ‘Zepplinish drum solo with my silverware. Finally, Laura took the hint and decided it was time to go. She put her hand on my knee, and her touch was like an electric shock running up my leg.
"It’s getting late," she said. "I think Matt’s getting tired. Maybe we should call it a night."
"All-righty."
Marv wiped his goatee with his napkin and dropped some money on the table, then he walked with us outside and asked where we were staying.
Laura pointed. "Just over at the Embarcadero."
"Splendid!" Marv beamed happily. "I’m there myself! The event staff put me up for the weekend in room eleven. I have a lovely view of the river."
Laura made a happy little sound. "You’re just around the corner from me. I’m in room twenty-four."
"Lovely!"
Oh, yeah. Lovely. ‘Lovely’, my butt. I couldn’t wait to get rid of this asshole.
"I’ll walk with you."
"Great!" Laura took my arm and we were off again, just the three of us.
Lovely.
At the hotel, we managed to say our goodbyes.
For a second I thought Marv was going to invite us to his room, but he yawned instead and shook my hand again.
"Lovely evening kids. Fantastic to see you again Matt. I’m glad to see you’re doing well."
"Uh, you too Marv. Thanks again for dinner."
He let go of my hand and turned and hugged Laura. For a little too long, I thought. Then he kissed her cheek.
"And you, dear Laura, sleep tight."
Ah Jeez.
"Goodnight Marvin."
We waited until he turned the corner, and Laura gushed about her day as I walked her upstairs. Suddenly I was really nervous. I half-listened to her until we found door number twenty-four.
So this is it, I thought. Do or die time.
I was finally going to sleep with the woman I’d been fantasizing about for years. My heart was pounding and Laura turned around and smiled at me. I grinned stupidly back at her and she hugged me. I loved the way she smelled, and the way her body pressed against me. I touched her hair, and she sighed and stepped away.
"Thanks for coming with me Matt. I hope you’re having an okay time."
She looked down and played with my hands.
"I was kind of an ass today, huh?" I asked.
"A little," she agreed. "But I can see why. Marvin’s pretty conceited."
I laughed, and thought, Laura, you don’t even know.
She unlocked her door, opened it part-way, then she turned around and handed me a plastic card.
"Here’s the key to your room. It’s number seventy-three, downstairs and around the corner."
I blinked.
"Sorry I couldn’t get you closer, but I made the reservations so late everything was already pretty filled up."
I blinked again.
Laura kissed me on the cheek and stepped into her room.
"’Night, Matt. I’ll call you in the morning? Maybe around ten?"
Waitaminute. Separate rooms?
"Matt?"
I shook myself out of my daze.
"Uh, yeah. Ten’s fine."
"’Kay. Night."
She smiled and shut her door. I stared at the credit card sized slip of plastic clenched in my hand for a minute, unfocused, and shoved it into my pocket.
"Fuck." I said, to no one in particular. "Fuck, fuck, fuck." I stared at her closed door for a second and almost knocked, but finally turned and headed back to the stairs.
I was feeling about as stupid as I have since I was a teenager and made my first, awkward pass at a girl. I was so distracted that I smacked face first into the poor guy just stepping onto the landing, almost knocking him back down the steps.
"Gad!"
"Oh, shit, sorry, I didn’t..." I grabbed the guy by his sweater and hauled him back up. An alarm bell went off in my head at the sight of the black sweater.
"Matt! My boy! Where are you going in such a hurry?"
What the fuck? "Marvin? What are you doing here?"
Marvin showed me the bundle in his arms. He was carrying a small canvas with an easel under his arm, and a picnic basket in his hand. A bottle of wine poked out of one end of the basket, and a set of paints and brushes poked out of the other.
He winked at me and grinned.
"Ah. Young Laura agreed to model for me this evening. She’s a beautiful girl. Such a lovely face, and a truly classic body shape. Since I returned from Europe, I’ve been itching to paint a series of nudes, and she seemed thrilled when I asked her to pose for me tonight..." He straightened his beret and tucked his canvas back under his arm. "Well. No harm done, my boy. I’ll be off. Sleep well!"
I glared at him in shock as he found Laura’s door. He gave me a little salute, and when he knocked, I beat it the hell out of there.
ÂÂ
"Pose nude my mother-fucking-ass!"
I found myself storming through the carnival right before closing time, fighting my way through a crowd of families as they flowed out to the streets. After my late-night meeting with Marvin, my first thought had been to go to the beer garden and get rip-roaring drunk, but apparently it was too late for that. Most of the booths had already shut down for the night, and the midway lights were beginning to wink out as well.
"Shit." I muttered.
"Yo’ Matt? That you, ‘bro?"
I turned around to find three short hispanic guys walking my way. I squinted through the dark and recognized two of them.
"Jose?"
Jose and his buddy Freddy grinned at me, and Jose slapped me on the back.
"’Sup, ‘bro! Long time, no see!"
I met Jose and Freddy when they were working as cooks and dishwashers at a redneck bar-slash-restaurant called the Black Bear. I’d taken my first sex-slave, Julie, there for dinner and a little...dessert. After dinner I tied Julie to a table and let all the guys in the restaurant fuck her, while Jose, Freddy and I attacked an old sexpot named Barb who worked there as a waitress.
I grinned at Jose and slapped him on the back.
"What are you two doing here?"
"Workin’ dude! We’re workin’ for the carnival, settin’ stuff up, runnin’ booths, takin’ tickets, y’know, whatever they need us for." He pointed at the guy I didn’t know. "This here’s Roberto. He don’t speak English so good yet."
Roberto grinned when he heard his name.
I smiled at him, and turned back to Jose.
"How long have you been doing this?" I asked. "You still got Barb with you?"
Jose considered. "We been here a while." Then he snorted. "We took off a few weeks after you and your bitch left that night. We, uh, had’ta get rid of Barb. She was gettin’ smelly, y’know?"
I wasn’t quite sure what he meant by that.
"Smelly?"
He looked sheepish.
"We kinda broke her, a little."
Freddy nodded in agreement.
"What do you mean, you ‘broke her’."
Freddy shuffled his feet and looked at the ground.
"Well, see, she didn’t wanna screw one day, so we kinda, y’know, fucked her up." He put his hands up, like he wanted to protect himself. "Don’ worry though, we got rid of her so nobody goin’ find her. Just like I said we would."
Poor Barb.
"So that’s when you guys left?"
"Yeah. This is pretty cool, though. It pays better than doin’ dishes, an’ we get’ta move around a lot." He looked at the kids swarming around us. "Lot’sa new meat everywhere we go. Y’know what I mean?"
I nodded.
"Whazzup wit’ you? Why you down this way?"
So we talked for a while, just three (or maybe four) old rapists playing catch-up, until the lights from the beer garded dimmed, and someone called my name.
"Matt!"
Jill and Laura bounced towards us, dragging Linda along with them, and they surrounded me. They were all pretty bleary-eyed, and I could smell the beer on their breath from ten feet away. The girls didn’t even notice Jose and his buddies checking them out.
Laura played with my hair, twirling it with her fingers. "We thought we lost you for the night." She looked around. "Where are your...friends?"
I smiled as Jill and Linda leaned on each other, trying to keep from tipping over. And in my head I pictured what was going on in Laura’s hotel room.
"They’re both...asleep, I guess."
"Oooh. Poor baby, all alone." Laura nuzzled my neck, and I felt my dick wake up. "Maybe you should come and spend the night with us? We could try that stuff with the whipped cream, if you want." She patted my ass and grinned drunkenly at me.
Who was I to say no?
"Sure. Lead the way."
They grabbed me, all three drunk and horny ladies, and pulled me along for a few feet, almost taking my mind off the thought of Marvin fucking Laura.
Then I had a sick, perverted idea.
"Hold on a ‘sec, girls. I’ll be right back."
I jogged back to Jose and the guys.
"You guys want some action tonight?"
They looked at the girls, swaying in the breeze.
"With them?" Freddy asked.
"Yep."
All three of them grinned. "Shit man. Hell, yeah," said Jose.
"Cool. You got any buddies you want to include? There’s more than enough to go around."
Jose and Freddy both nodded.
"After we close up, there’s prob’ly ‘bout twen’ny dudes that’ll be lookin’ for some beer and pussy. You talkin’ pussy for free, or are we gonna take it, like Barb."
I grinned. "Like Barb, probably."
Jose and Freddy shot some rapid-fire Spanish back and forth with Roberto. The look that passed between them would’ve made the three ladies run for the police if they’d been sober enough to catch it.
The guys all looked back at me and nodded.
"Cool," I said. "I don’t know where they’re staying, exactly. So why don’t you follow a little behind us until we get to their hotel, then come back around..." I checked my watch. It was just after eleven. "Maybe one o’clock with your buddies?"
Laura called out, "Matt...? What’s taking so long?"
"Be right there!" I shouted back.
Jose grinned again. "Freddy should go. ‘Berto and I need ‘ta help close up for the night. We’ll cover ‘till he can get back."
"All right. Freddy, stay close, and be sure to get the right room number." I started walking, then turned around. "One o’clock."
Jose gave me a thumbs up.
When I reached them, Laura and Jill hooked their arms around my waist. "Okay ladies. Let’s go." Laura took Linda by the hand, and off we went.
ÂÂ
The place they were staying was a couple blocks away from the park. It wasn’t a hotel, but a set of about two dozen bungalows nestled into a less developed, wooded section of town. Each bungalow was set back and hidden from the sidewalk, and each unit had its own driveway leading out to the road. During the day the place was probably nice and peaceful. It certainly was nice and secluded. Judging from the few cars I could see only a few of the bungalows had any tenants. A couple of streetlights and a porchlight on here and there struggled to light the area.
I shot a look over my shoulder while I made impressed sounds, trying to spot Freddy. I couldn’t see anybody following us, but the road was dark, with lots of places for him to hide.
The girls led me to one of two bungalows in a narrow cul-de-sac at the end of the street. One of the buildings looked deserted. The other had a couple of cars parked nearby and the house lights turned on inside.
Perfect.
Jill wobbled up to the door of the bungalow with the lights on and fumbled with a set of keys.
"Shit," she swore and pushed her glasses back on her nose. "I can’t see - Matt, help?"
She handed me a set of three identical keys on a simple silver ring. I stuck one in the keyhole, turned, and the door clicked open.
"Voila." I said, and the ladies pushed me inside, giggling.
The bungalow was basically one big room. A counter divided the living area from a small kitchen and a dining nook, and an open door at the back of the bungalow led to a bathroom and a shower. Two futon couches with heavy, natural wood frames surrounded a large oak entertainment center. Both couches were currently pulled out, and the bedding sported the ‘slept in’ look.
Jill shut the door as Linda collapsed onto one of the futons. I found myself face to face with Laura, who was breathing heavily and staring at me intently.
"Well." I smiled at her. "What now?"
"I can’t believe I’m going to do this," she whispered.
"What’s that?" I asked.
Laura was a tall woman, easily at eye level with me. She touched my face gently, her eyes fluttered closed, and she kissed me.
She was tentative at first, just a soft press of her lips on mine. I heard the sharp hiss of her breath as she pulled away from me, her eyes still closed, her face and neck flushed pink.
The other women waited quietly as Laura paused, her forehead pillowed against mine.
"Well?" Jill asked.
Laura shook her head slightly, and a small smile played along the corners of her mouth.
Linda sat up and leaned on the edge of the futon.
"Well?"
In answer, Laura gave me a big smile, wrapped her arms tightly around my neck, and pulled me close.
There was little that was soft or tender about her next kiss. I curled my arms around her waist and tasted her, felt the heat radiate from her body. My dick felt it too. A low purring sound came from deep in Laura’s throat as she wriggled against me.
Something soft and wet touched my neck, and Linda smiled up at me before she nibbled at my earlobe. Laura cupped my face in her hands and pulled me back to her, and I shivered as Linda tangled a hand in my hair. She snuck her hand up my t-shirt and tweaked my nipple, playing with it as she softly kissed my neck.
Then someone unbuckled my belt and pulled down my shorts.
"Oh-my-God."
Everybody looked down at Jill, who was on her knees in front of my crotch.
She was busy staring at my dick. Jill had my shorts pulled halfway down over my hips, and my dick was raging hard and hovering right around her open mouth, about a foot away.
It took a Herculean effort of will not to wrap my hand in her hair and shove my cock down her throat.
Turns out, I didn’t have to.
Instead, Laura and Linda shared a quick look. Then they dropped to their knees next to Jill and forgot about kissing me as they took turns fondling my penis.
As horny as I was getting, something in me - some long lost shred of decency - bubbled to the surface. I cleared my throat and stroked Jill’s hair, trying to pry their attention away from their new toy.
They all looked up, expectantly. Visions of Jose and Freddy fucking Barb to death ran through my head.
"Are you sure you want to do this? I mean, what about your families?"
They looked at each other for a second. Then Jill wrapped her hands around my dick and gave me a squeeze.
"Fuck ‘em."
Jill elbowed herself some room, then grabbed my ass and took a deep breath.
"Sorry girls, I was here first. You’ll have to wait your turn."
She closed her eyes, opened her mouth as wide as she could and swallowed four or five inches of my cock with a gurgle. I closed my eyes and let her do what she wanted, felt her head slowly bob back and forth, swallowing more and more of my dick as she worked me.
I reached for Linda and Laura and played with their hair while Jill went down on me. As jaded as I’ve become sexually, something about the three women kneeling before me, anxiously waiting to suck my dick was the biggest turn-on I’ve experienced in a long time.
‘Fuck ‘em’, Jill had said.
I agreed with her.
Wherever that last bit of pity came from, it was gone now. All I wanted to do was fuck these bitches until they bled.
So as Jill struggled to fit more of my cock down her throat, I relaxed and gave the three of them a full shot of my power.
The air around us crackled with static electricity and I felt the familiar tingling sensation - almost like pins and needles - shoot through my body. The room spun around me for a second, then snapped back into place. All of the hair on my arms stood on end and the ladies sat back on their haunches, stunned.
The three of them were still so drunk they would’ve probably done pretty much anything I wanted, but I wasn’t going to take any chances. I wanted them nice and submissive for Jose and his crew.
For a little while, anyway.
I pulled myself out of Jill’s mouth with a wet pop and made Jill and Linda stand by yanking their hair. Laura knelt in the same spot on the floor, swaying back and forth with her mouth slack and her eyelids half-shut, and the other ladies clung to each other for support as their heads cleared.
I sat down on the bed, my dick poking straight up.
"Okay, girls. Jill, I want you to strip Linda down to her underwear, and Linda, after she’s finished, I want you to do the same to her. Then I want you both to lie down on that futon - Jill, you on the bottom, with your head facing this edge of the bed. Linda, I want you to crawl on top of Jill and shove your pussy in her face. I want to watch you eat her out while I fuck old Laura here. Okay?"
Linda was flushed and struggling to breathe. Jill was doing a little dance, moving from foot to foot like a small child that needed to pee. When I finished telling them what I wanted, they didn’t waste time answering me; they just fell on each other, ripping off their clothes. Linda shoved Jill down on the futon and straddled her body, pinning her to the bed. She frantically rubbed her crotch on Jill’s face. Jill moaned, grabbing Linda’s ass, pulling her closer. She nuzzled Linda’s pussy through her panties and bit at the inside of her legs. Linda wrapped her legs tightly around Jill’s head, then yanked her white cotton panties away from her crotch. Jill moaned as Linda jabbed her pink little tongue deep into her pussy.
I watched the two women go at it for a minute, listening to the wet slurping sounds and the happy moans and groans as they lapped at each other.
Linda was a little reluctant at first, but Jill seemed to really be enjoying herself.
She was so enthusiastic about her pussy eating that I wondered if she’d spent time lapping clam before this. She was just kooky-hip enough that the thought of her having an affair with another woman didn’t surprise me much. Linda, however, was the most whole-heartedly feminine of the three, and the last one I’d imagine to have any type of affair at all. But she seemed to be warming up to the task.
Both of them had nice, tan bodies. Jill was a little curvier, a little saucier around the edges, a bit rounder in all the right places. Especially when she moved. When she moved, her whole body moved.
If you know what I mean.
But Linda - Linda was in better shape. Her body was firm and toned, with the long, muscular legs of a runner, a tight, round ass and perky, up-turned breasts that were just partially hidden by her lacy blue bra.
They’d be busy for a while. My dick throbbed, wanting some attention, so I pried my eyes away from the girls and focused on Laura, still swooning on the floor.
Time for business.
I stood and walked over to the kitchenette and rooted around a little. I found a sharp butchers knife, and after digging through a junk drawer I was rewarded with a fresh roll of duct tape.
"Laura, Laura, Laura." I chanted happily. "Look what I found."
She shook her head, trying to clear out the cobwebs. I walked around the house using the butcher knife to cut the pull cords from the window blinds. When I finished, I had about thirty or forty feet of the strong nylon cord, cut into strips.
With the knife, tape and the cord in one hand, I grabbed Laura’s hair and dragged her over to the empty futon. She cried out and grabbed at my arm, the pain finally cutting through the haze in her head, and I threw her face first down on the bed. She tried to roll over, but I sat on her legs.
She grunted when I pinned her arms behind her back.
Laura was probably strong enough that she could’ve given me some trouble if she tried to fight; but she was still groggy and I had enough leverage to keep her still enough that I could bind her wrists together with a strip of cord.
Her face was buried in the pillows, so her cry of pain was muffled when I pulled the cord as tight as I could, cutting off the circulation in her hands.
She screamed and thrashed underneath me, sending my dick into spasms, and all my frustration about Marvin came boiling up. I grabbed Laura tightly around the neck and shoved her face harder into the pillows, until the thrashing turned into ineffective twitches as she fought for breath. Keeping her pinned, I used the knife to cut her blouse up the back, laying it open but leaving the thin silk camisole intact. And then I hacked off her shorts.
I leaned back for a second and enjoyed the view, marveling at how these three women, all approaching middle age, were still so attractive and in such great shape.
Laura’s shoulders and arms, back and legs were tan and freckled. Her waist was slender and tapered into a nice pair of hips and a round, juicy ass. Along with the camisole, she was wearing a pair of pink panties that were stained wet in the crotch.
I let my control flow away from Laura, leaving her completely aware of what was going on. I let her hear her friends fucking - only feet away from us, but completely oblivious to what was happening to her. I leaned over and rubbed her pussy through the wet spot on her panties, sending Laura into another set of twitches and moans, and whispered in her ear:
"I’m sorry Laura. You just happened to run into me when I was having a really shitty day. And unfortunately, you just happen to have the same name as someone I’m really pissed off at right now. So you get to go first."
She squirmed until I hit her head with the butt of the knife. I paused for a second, feeling her body trembling underneath me, and gently kissed her neck.
"Just remember, if you somehow make it through tonight, that I gave you all a chance not to go through with this."
Then I ripped off her panties and jerked her head back, out of the pillows.
I could see her red, tear-streaked face in the mirror on the wall, and when she gasped for breath, I shoved her panties into her mouth. She choked and kicked as I tore off a strip of the thick silver tape and finished off the make-shift gag.
Then I started to slap her ass with the flat of the blade as hard as I could. She screamed into the gag and her butt rippled with each smack.
"Let’s see if you’re still as ready as you were when we started, hey?"
I jabbed the knife into the futon within easy reach, and used my knees to pry her legs open, wedging my hips between them. Then I pulled her hips up so her ass was level with my crotch and played with her pussy with my fingers, spreading the soft, moist outer lips open and rubbing her little clit. I used my free hand to guide the tip of my dick into her pussy.
She’d been soaking wet before, but she was dry as a bone now; so I rubbed some spit on my dick and tried again.
With her hands tied around her back, Laura’s head and neck were pushed into the pillows again, absorbing the weight of her body, and now mine too. Her face was turned to the side on the pillow with her eyes squeezed tightly shut. She kicked her feet and a low keening moan came from her throat when she felt the tip of my dick enter her.
Her eyes popped open and she panted softly as I eased my way into her cunt.
I went slowly - for my sake, not hers.
She was nice and tight, and without much natural lubrication I didn’t want to scrape my dick raw this early in the game - especially since I still had two other lovely ladies to fuck around with. So I wrapped my arms around her waist, closed my eyes and took my time.
Fresh tears ran down her cheeks when my balls finally smacked up against her mound. She wasn’t having fun anymore. And it was about to get worse.
Laura was still dry, but her cunt was warm and fit me like glove. I didn’t want to pull out and lube up, so I let go of her waist and found another strip of the nylon cord.
I slipped the line under her neck and tied it off with a slipknot, making a thin, strong noose. And then I wrapped the free end of the cord around my hand and pulled, until Laura’s upper body was parallel with the bed and I could see her tits jiggling in the mirror.
Her eyes went wide. She thrashed around and kicked her legs wildly, and her ass bucked against me as her air was cut off. There wasn’t much she could do with her hands tied; I had all the control. Her pussy muscles contracted around me in violent spasms, and I enjoyed the ride, watching her terrified face as she struggled for the breath that I wasn’t going to let her get.
She locked eyes with me, scared and pleading, tears running in torrents down her face, dripping from her chin. I smiled back at her and jerked her leash, making her body spasm even harder.
Laura slowly stopped kicking, and her body relaxed against me, held up by the rope strangling her.
I came just as she passed out. I let her body fall to the bed as my orgasm ebbed, felt myself slip out of her pussy. My dick glistened with my cum as I leaned over her and loosened the knot around her neck.
I didn’t want her dead, even though I knew that none of the girls might live out the night, once Jose and his boys got here.
Instead, I shook one of the pillows out of the pillowcase, then pulled the empty case over Laura’s head and tied it off by wrapping tape around it. Then I rolled off the bed and tied cords around both of her ankles and secured them to the thick wooden bed-legs.
Now it was Linda’s turn.
She was grinding her hips into Jill’s face, with her back arched and her head thrown back. Her mouth was open and her eyes were squeezed shut. I spread her legs open a little wider and Jill grinned up at me, her face smeared with spunk, sucking away at Linda’s clit. I patted Jill’s forehead with my dick, then bent over Linda’s back. Jill helped guide my dick and held Linda’s panties out of the way for me as I shoved my way into Linda’s pussy.
Linda let out a little yelp and her body jerked, but she was wet and relaxed enough that I slid in easily. She plopped back onto Jill as I crawled on top of her. I pulled her bra down under her breasts and squeezed her tits, and she reached back for me, turning her head, and pulled me closer. I kissed her, and felt the edge of her panties rub against my dick as I slowly pumped her pussy. Linda gasped at each thrust. Underneath us, Jill flicked her wet little tongue at my balls, licking and sucking while I fucked Linda. I bit Linda’s neck, and she reached back and tangled one of her hands in my hair, and squeezed my hand harder onto her tit with the other.
"Oh God, Stevie. Yesss..." she moaned.
Stevie?
Who the fuck was Stevie?
I don’t know much about my power. I’ve spent some time trying to understand the extent of it and to figure out what I can actually do. But for the most part, ever since that day in Laura’s bathroom, the discoveries that I’ve made about my power have all come spontaneously.
And each experience happened because of some intense, sex-related incident.
When Linda moaned ‘Stevie’, a memory registered, just for a second, of Linda and her son at my store. She was asking him what he wanted for his birthday party after his football game.
That’s when a lightbulb blew up in my mind.
Usually when my power manifests itself, it’s preceded by a moment of disorientation and the odd tingling, pins-and-needles feeling that I spoke of before. When the power affects other people, they usually experience the same sensation, plus a physical manifestation, sometimes mild, like static electricity, or worse, like a powerful shock, depending on the intensity of the situation.
This was different.
I felt something pop in the back of my head, in the same place the tingling sensation usually starts when I use my power. Then there was a sudden, bright flash of light.
And then I went blind.
My vision cleared as quickly as it left, but I wasn’t where I was a second before.
I was driving a minivan, and the eyes looking back at me in the rearview mirror were Linda’s baby blue’s. The van was packed to the gills with shouting, sweaty, teenage boys, all wearing muddy football uniforms. Stevie was sitting next to me, grinning happily. The kids behind him cheerfully clapped him on the shoulders and flicked his head.
When we got home, Stevie and his friends grabbed a bunch of pizza boxes and soda pop out of the back of the van, and they piled into the kitchen behind me. We dished up pizza, and I laughed and ate with them as they celebrated Stevie’s big day and their win on the football field. I decided to leave them alone and excused myself to go watch a movie.
I just got settled when Stevie popped his head into the family room and asked to borrow the keys to the van. I laughed when he said they needed ice cream and told him to hurry back.
They were only gone a few minutes. The headlights shone through the windows as Stevie pulled back into the driveway and parked. I could hear them walk in through the back door, and then they were messing around in the kitchen.
They seemed a little rowdier than before.
I sighed. Boys.
Halfway through my movie, I decided they needed to share some of the ice cream. I paused the tape and walked down the hall to the kitchen.
There were a lot more boys packed into the little room. More of Stevie’s teammates. At first, I figured that was why the noise level had gone up. And that was okay - I’d told Stevie he could have as many friends over for pizza as he wanted.
But then I saw the beer. Cases of it. And one look around the room told me most of the boys were already drunk.
"Stevie!"
He knew I was upset. He was sitting at the little round table in our window nook, playing drinking games with his friend Jay and a few other boys. He looked up at me as I stomped into the kitchen, and Jay grinned at me and lit a cigarette.
"What’s up, Mom?"
I stood there with my mouth open. I didn’t even notice the other boys gathering behind me.
"How the fu..." I waved my hands at all the beer. "How did you get this?"
Jay stood up and blew a puff of smoke into my face.
"I bought it."
I stared at him.
"How?"
He smiled at me. I was too worked up to notice how he was looking at me. Not that it mattered by that point anyway. I was already surrounded by drunk, horny boys.
"Stevie took some money from your purse, and we went to a store and I bought it."
He puffed on his cigarette and stared at my tits. I was mad enough to spit, but he just grinned at me.
"Shit, Mrs. T. Chill out."
"Yeah Mom, chill."
"What did you say to me?" I rounded on Stevie, furious now. "You...you stole money from me and used it to buy beer? You..."
Stevie stood up and poked me hard in the chest with his can of beer. Until then, Stevie had always been my little boy. Now I realized he wasn’t so little any more. He was just turning seventeen but was already taller than his father, who was a good six feet, and had his dad’s thick, muscular shoulders and arms.
He had his dad’s temper, too.
"It’s not a big deal mom." He poked me with the beer again. "Here, have some. Play some quarters with us."
The boys standing around me cheered and Jay pushed me down into a chair and stood guard behind me. A couple other boys plopped into the other chairs around the table. I was surrounded.
I stared at my son. He popped open a beer and shoved it across the table. I could feel Jay’s hands rubbing my shoulders.
"You go first Stevie," said Jay.
Stevie plinked a quarter off the table into a shot glass and everybody cheered.
"You next Dave."
None of the boys argued with Jay. No one ever did. He’d been a bully since he was little, but had the charisma of a natural leader. The two of them had been friends since kindergarten, and Stevie worshipped Jay like an older brother. Over the years, Jay had dragged Stevie with him through some bad experiences. A couple minor brushes with the police because of some vandalism and grafitti painting, a few fights at school, some pot smoking.
Not major, but bad enough.
Before we split up, Stevie’s dad and I got him into football and wrestling, hoping that sports would help discipline him. Show him a better road than the one he was heading down. Then my marriage went to shit, and I went through an awful divorce. Stevie seemed to blame me for his dad leaving, and our relationship slowly went from bad to worse.
And now this. I didn’t know how to handle this, and I was getting worried.
Dave had missed his shot and the other kids chanted "chug it, chug it" as he drank. Then the boy sitting next to me, Marcus, took his turn, and guzzled his beer when he missed.
My turn.
I tried to stand up, but Jay pushed me back down into the chair.
"Sorry, Mrs. T," he patted my shoulder. "Your shot."
I shook my head. "Jay. This isn’t funny, and I’m not going to play. Let me go."
He laughed.
"You don’t have a fucking choice, bitch."
I stared up at him. "What did you say to me?"
He ignored me.
"You’re playing whether you like it or not. So take your fucking turn, or someone else’ll shoot for you."
The boys around us laughed at me. I looked back at my son.
"Stevie...?"
He snatched the quarter off the table.
"Had your chance Ma. Looks like I get to take the turn for you."
He flipped the coin with his thumb. It hit the side of the glass and spun on the table. He gave me a little grin and shrugged.
"Sorry, Ma. Hold her guys."
The boys around me grabbed me by the wrists and pinned my hands to the tabletop. Jay grabbed me by the hair, yanked my head back and then pinched my nose shut. Another boy used both hands to hold my mouth open, laughing while Stevie stood up and walked around the table. Stevie picked up an open beer and patted my cheek, then poured it down my throat until I was choking and the beer was running down my face, soaking the front of my blouse.
He stopped when the can was empty and sat back down, grinning. The boys held me still as I coughed beer out of my lungs.
"My turn."
Stevie plinked another quarter off the table, right into the glass. And around they went, until it was my turn again. The boy, Dave, took my turn for me this time.
"Here goes," he said.
The quarter bounced off the lip of the glass.
Everybody laughed. This time Jay patted my cheek and then they held me down again while Dave took his turn pouring beer into my mouth.
As the last drops trickled out of the can, Stevie suddenly stood up.
"This is boring. I’m gonna find something else to drink."
Another boy sat in for the next round. By the time Stevie came back, Marcus was taking his turn taking my turn, and they were shaking another empty beer can over my face. Stevie slid into the booth and smacked a bottle of whiskey down on the end of the table.
I knew he’d taken it from his dad’s old stash, from our basement, hidden away before we split up. I heard a low whistle come from Jay at the sight of the bottle.
"All-Riiight!" Jay let go of my hair and he and Stevie started pouring shots. They passed the glasses around and Jay grinned at me.
"You know Mrs. T, when we were freshmen, I bet Stevie that I’d fuck you one day."
He knocked back his shot, and the rest of the kids drank theirs. Then he sat down on the table right next to me. He set his glass down and poured it full.
"The other guys think you’re hot, too." He looked around. "Huh, guys?"
There was a chorus of approval. I watched my son stand up and walk around next to me.
"You look like you need another drink Ma."
He left the shot on the table and grabbed the bottle. Jay pulled my hair, forcing my head back again, and Stevie shoved the bottle into my mouth. He stopped only when the bottle was barely half-empty.
I could feel the room beginning to spin. The boys holding my wrists let go of me, and I stood up. I had to lean against the table for support, and I felt a body press against me from behind.
"Hey man. Her shirt’s all wet."
Stevie picked up the last shot and stepped back around the table. I could see him standing in front of me, but he was getting hazy.
"Maybe we should take it off. Wouldn’t want her catching cold."
Fingers fumbled with the buttons, and I swayed drunkenly as the damp cloth was suddenly pulled off, down over my arms.
I lost it as hands started touching me. Tears rolled down my face and I whimpered as I heard Stevie talking to Jay.
"Still think she’s hot, dude? You guys all still wanna fuck her?"
"Fuck yeah, Stevie!"
Stevie took a sip of his drink.
"Well, let’s fuckin’ do it then."
Somebody unhooked my bra. I tried to cover my breasts with my hands, but somebody grabbed my arms and bent me over the little table. I heard a ripping sound and then I felt my skirt being yanked down over my hips, and then cold air on my ass as whoever was behind me pulled my panties and nylons down around my knees. Somebody wedged themself between my legs and something warm and hard shoved against my pussy. I let out a gurgling scream as Jay shoved his cock into me, and my head jerked backwards.
I could see my son standing over me. He had a smile on his face, and he threw back the rest of his drink. My face was level with his crotch, and after he finished his shot he tossed the glass onto the floor and unzipped his pants.
I could hear Jay panting behind me, and he reached underneath me and grabbed at my tits.
"Well, dude?" Stevie asked him. "How is she?"
Jay moaned in my ear.
"Fuckin’ hot," he panted.
"Cool."
Stevie pulled down his pants and patted my face. His cock popped out in front of me, big and purple, and he smacked my face with it.
"Fuck her good, JayJay!" Somebody shouted, and Jay started kissing my neck as he humped me. He was pounding into me hard enough to drive the tops of my thighs into the edge of the table.
It hurt.
Then Stevie grabbed my hair, and Jay slowed down enough to pry open my mouth.
"Time to gimme my birthday present, Ma."
And my son shoved his dick down my throat.
Then images started coming faster and faster, until it was hard to keep track of them all. Images of Linda, sound asleep, and Stevie sneaking into her bed and licking and sucking her pussy, making her cum while she was still asleep, then rolling on top of her and fucking her. Then Stevie and Jay stopping at the hospital where Linda worked as a nurse and fucking her in a supply closet. Of Stevie watching a porno and making his mom act it out with him as the movie played. And at their high school graduation, where they made her blow each guy on the football team after they got their diplomas.
Finally, the lightbulp flashed and reality snapped back into place, and I was me again.
I grinned.
As with Laura, I let my power trickle out of Linda. I grabbed her by the hair and yanked her head back, hard. I heard the breath whoosh out of her, and I grunted into her ear.
"So you like it when your son fucks you?"
She looked around, bewildered, like she was waking up out of a sound sleep, not quite knowing where she was.
"M-Matt...?"
"That’s right, you fucking bitch," I growled and pulled out of her pussy. I used my hips to guide my dick, sliding it up until I felt the tip touch her asshole. "Matt. And I’ll ask again: do you like it when your son fucks you?"
"Matt, please, you’re hurting me..."
She tried to turn her head and look at me, but I hooked my arms under hers and clamped my hands around the back of her head, forcing her back to curve against my chest and giving me better access to her ass.
Unlike Laura, she didn’t fight me. Right away, that is.
I pulled her body into me and thrust hard with my hips, and Linda let out a shriek of pain as my dick punched into her rectum. I lodged about two inches in, then pulled back and shoved into her again. She clawed at my hands, but I pushed her face into the bed and started fucking her ass with hard, quick thrusts, making her scream with pain. She tried to push away from the bed, but her arms couldn’t support both our weight and she collapsed, her face mashed into the pillows and her neck bent at an awful angle. She stopped fighting, giving me full access to her pretty little butt.
I fucked her as hard as I could. When I finally blew my wad, I shoved her away from me and sat back on my haunches. My ass landed right on Jill’s face, and she started licking my asshole. I let Linda fall away from me and she curled into a little ball, crying softly.
My dick softened a little, flopping down in-between Jill’s tits.
I’d never had a rim-job before.
No way. Fuck this shit, I thought, and tried to sit up, but Jill wrapped her hands around my thighs, made some yummy noises and pulled my butt down onto her face. She got busy tongueing my ass with all the gusto that she’d used to eat Linda out. And surprise! Just a couple minutes later, my dick was hard as a rock and I was ready to go again.
I started squeezing her tits while her tongue flicked in and out of my asshole. Jill had a nice, big handfull, and I could feel her nipples poking into my palms through her bra. She moaned underneath me, and I reached down to her pussy, wrapped my hand in her panties and yanked. The panties stretched out, then ripped away at the crotch. Jill’s pussy was shaved clean, with only a little stubble that had grown in over the last few days. She had a little red heart tattooed on her belly, just under her panty line.
Cute. I had to smile.
She groaned again and spread her legs for me. I lay on top of her and lifted my hips up, and I felt her hands stroking my cock. She kissed it, playing with it, and when she opened her mouth for me, I wrapped my arms around her and slammed my hips down hard. She grunted and twitched, but she didn’t bite. I started to eat her out. Her pussy was soft and pink and the bedding underneath her butt was already soaked with her pussy juice. She grabbed my ass with both of her hands and tried to keep me from moving, but I had her head pinned in place with my dick, so I arched my back again and shoved myself in.
I fucked her face until I was just ready to cum, then I stopped and pulled out. I stood up, grabbed Jill’s wrists and pulled her off the bed, then I rolled Linda onto her back. She kicked at me until I slapped her, and then I had to sit on her stomach and pin her arms down.
I looked at Jill. She swayed slightly on her feet and her eyes were glassy. I had to snap my fingers to get her attention.
"Jill, get some of that cord and the knife. I want you to tie Linda up for me."
Jill giggled. "Okay."
She grabbed the stuff and stood over the bed, half naked and giggling, like a serial killer in a bad slasher movie.
"Now what?" she asked.
"Cut off her panties and shove ‘em in her mouth." I jerked my head back at the other futon. "Then cut some of that tape and stick it over her mouth."
"Jill, please, don’t..." Linda squirmed under me, begging.
Jill bent over behind us and I heard the knife sawing against material, and Jill stood back up with a torn blue rag bundled up into a ball. Jill laughed at Linda’s gurgling sounds as she stuffed the panties in her mouth. Then she went to work with the rope. I pried Linda’s legs open and started fucking her while Jill tied her, spread-eagled, down to the bed.
When she finished, I pulled out and checked the ropes. Jill had tied them so tight, Linda’s hands were already turning purple, and her eyes were wide with panic. She was screaming into her gag and jerking around on bed, and suddenly Laura started thrashing around on the other futon.
Then Jill grabbed my dick and tried to kiss me. Her breath, not surprisingly, from all the ass-sucking and what-not, smelled rancid, so I shoved her away. She tripped and fell on top of Laura, and I flipped her over and used one of the last bits of cord to tie her hands behind her back. Jill’s ass was jutting up into my crotch while I tied her up. When I finished I just spread her butt cheeks open and pushed inside.
I let go of her mind right as I shoved my cock into her, and as soon as she realized what was happening to her, she started to kick and scream. So I used the last of the cord to make another leash and slipped it over her head, tightening the knot when it was around her mouth.
She screeched when the rope bit deep into her face. I held Jill like that, bent over Laura, screaming and gurgling while I fucked her asshole.
Lucky for Jill, my orgasm came quickly, and I collapsed on top of her. She lay still under me, panting, and she cried a little as I jerked against her a few times, letting my warm spunk flood her ass.
And then somebody knocked on the door.
I spanked Jill’s butt and padded to the door. Through the window I could see a crowd of guys dressed in grubby t-shirts, jeans and overalls. I opened the door and Jose grinned at me sheepishly.
"Hey dad. They followed me home. Can I keep ‘em?"
"Holy shit." I tried to count, but the line led out into the driveway. I got to about twenty-five mean, greasy-looking Mexicans before I gave up.
"Yeah," he chuckled. "A bunch of the guys were fuckin’ horny, so I thought, the more the merrier, y’know?"
I nodded. "How many?"
Jose shrugged. "’Bout thirty, forty. Somethin’ like that. Most of ‘em are like Roberto - they don’t speak no English. But they all wanna fuck an’ blow off some steam." He tried to look past me, around the door. "You got the bitches in there?"
"Yep. Ready and waiting." I opened the door all the way and held it as the crowd surged inside, led by a wild, stoned looking Roberto and Freddy.
"All wrapped up like goddamn christmas presents!" Jose was grinning at me wide enough that I could see all of his missing teeth. He gave me a friendly pop on the shoulder.
Freddy hit the beds first and pulled Jill off and onto the floor. He settled in behind her and pulled her butt up in the air. She wiggled and cried around the cord cutting into her mouth as he pulled down his shorts, and the rest of the guys didn’t waste any more time. A guy with a huge dick bent like an ‘L’ jumped on top of Linda, whose frightened screams doubled when he penentrated her. Another guy ripped her bra in half and started sucking her tits, and then she was surrounded by guys pulling out their dicks.
By that time I couldn’t see Jill or Freddy at all, and a big, sweaty mexican was busy fucking Laura in the ass. He had one of his heavily muscled arms locked around her neck and he was yelling something incoherently into her ear as he reamed her butt.
Laura’s neck and back were bent at unnaturally sharp angles, and I could hear her muffled screams through the pillowcase over her face.
Jose noticed too. "Hope you didn’t want to keep ‘em after this. They gonna be seriously fucked up."
And then something popped, loudly. It sounded like a rifle shot went off. Laura’s screams stopped cold, and the big mexican closed his eyes and smiled as her body twitched underneath him. When she stopped jerking, he pumped her ass with a few more strokes, then pulled out and shot his load on her butt cheeks. And almost immediately, another guy took his place fucking her limp body.
Laura didn’t scream this time.
Then Freddy popped up from between the futons. He was pulling Jill up by the noose that was now tied around her neck, the muscles in his arms taut. Jill’s head rolled on her neck and her tongue hung loose out of her mouth. Her eyes had rolled back into her skull, and her face was turning an awful shade of blue. Freddy was busy fucking her from behind; he groped her tits while he screwed her, and her nipples poked out from in-between his fingers.
"Yo, Jose! Come and get it while it’s still hot, man!"
Jose gave Freddy a thumbs-up, then turned back to me.
"Thanks, man."
I blinked and shrugged. It didn’t look like Jill was going to last much longer. I had a pretty good feeling Laura was already dead, and these guys had only been in the bungalow less than five minutes. I couldn’t see Linda through the wall of naked asses, but I had the distinct feeling she wasn’t going to see the sun come up either. I didn’t quite know what Jose was thanking me for, but I nodded back to him anyway and started getting dressed.
"Sure."
"Don’ worry. Like I said before, you treated us good, so we’ll take care of everything. Nobody’ll know what the fuck happened here."
I nodded again. "Okay. Have fun."
Jose smacked my shoulder again and jumped over the guy fucking Laura’s motionless body. I put on my shoes as Jose unbuckled his overalls and shoved his dick into Jill’s open mouth, then I closed the door and started the walk back to my hotel.
ÂÂ
The walk back was nice and cool. My head cleared as I walked, and I’d managed to vent most of my frustrations about the day, so by the time I reached the hotel I was actually whistling. I looked up at Laura’s room when I stepped into the parking lot, and I pictured her asleep, curled up against Marv The Asshole.
A little flash of anger made me grimace, but I let it go and tried to find my room.
"Seventy, seventy-one..." I ticked off the numbers on the white doors as I walked by. I couldn’t remember if Laura had said I was in seventy-two or seventy-three, so I pulled the card key out of my pocket.
"Let’s see what’s behind door number...seventy-three!" I said to nobody in particular. The card caught on my pocket, slipped out of my hand and fell on the sidewalk.
"Fuck," I muttered, and bent over to pick it up. I stuck it in the slot above the doorknob on door seventy-three and waited for a click.
Nothing.
I pulled it out and tried again.
Nada.
I stuffed it in again and pushed. No luck. So I stepped back and scratched my head. I checked the card, just to make sure I wasn’t a complete idiot and wasn’t using the right end.
The number on the top of the card wasn’t seventy-two or seventy-three. It was twenty-four.
Laura’s room.
"What the fuck?"
I could’ve sworn she gave me a keycard with my room number on it. I shoved my hand into my pocket and, sure enough, pulled out an identical plastic card with ‘seventy-three’ labeled along the top edge in nice, big numbers.
"She gave me the key to her room." I stared at my hotel door, completely lost. She gave me two keys. But why? Did she do it on purpose? Or did she just fuck up and give me her key along with mine by accident? I didn’t know, and I was too tired to try to figure it out.
So I shook my head and stuck the right key in the door. The lock clicked and the door swung open, and I stepped inside with visions of a big, soft bed with nice, cool sheets and ice-cold air-conditioning bouncing around in my head.
"Matt!"
Sitting in my room, on the edge of my nice, cool bed, I found a sobbing, half-naked Laura.
"Laura? What...?"
I managed to shut the door before she literally jumped into my arms, buried her head in my chest and clung to me, crying.
ÂÂ
A few hours later, Laura fell asleep with her head pillowed in my lap. The clock on the dresser across the room told me it was almost six in the morning. After Laura had fallen asleep, I watched the morning light sneak into the room, peeking around the pulled curtains.
One name kept caroming around in my head, keeping me awake.
Marvin.
I was shocked enough that I could barely speak her name after I found her in my room. When she grabbed me and wouldn’t let go, I held her gently until she cried herself out and was calm enough to tell me what had happened.
With the help of a couple of her conniving girlfriends, Laura planned this trip as a romantic weekend getaway for the two of us. Unfortunately, good old Marvin had shown up and I’d jumped into my asshole mode.
Laura had arranged for me to have my own room, in case she either chickened out or I turned her down again, like I had the night of her party. And thanks to my knee-jerk, butthead reaction to Marv, Laura wasn’t sure if I wanted to be with her tonight or not.
So she decided to give me a little test.
She slipped me the key to her room along with the key to mine, hoping that I’d figure out what was going on and come back. Then she went inside and changed into the lingerie she’d brought along. She turned on the television and waited to see if I’d come back.
Of course, being the complete and total idiot I am, that was way too subtle for me in my worked up state of mind.
As we’ve documented, I figured she’d blown me off for Marv the Asshole, so I just shoved both of the keys in my pocket and went looking for trouble. Bumping into Marvin on the stairs simply reinforced my stupid assumption; when really, Laura had never asked him up at all.
So when there came a knock on her door, she thought it was me.
Unfortunately, by that time I was already down the stairs, heading for the beer garden. And when she opened the door dressed in her sexy little nightie, excited that I’d caught on to her little game, she found Marvin, who leered at her and pushed her inside.
Knowing Marvin and his ego, finding Laura already dressed for sex probably didn’t faze him in the least. He sat his basket on the little table by the door and gave her basically the same crap about wanting to paint her that he’d given me on the stairs. She tried to get him to leave, but he shut the door and started pouring wine instead.
That was when Laura started to get worried. She tried to tell Marvin that she was a happily married woman. He laughed, and asked why, then, had he just seen me leaving her room, and then, lo and behold, here is happily married Laura dressed up in her lovely nightie?
While Laura stuttered out an unconvincing response, Marv handed her a glass of wine, insisting that she try some. Laura figured she could play along and have one glass, but she told Marvin that was all, that he would have to leave right after.
She remembered him saying cheers, and he downed his wine while she took a small sip. He asked if she liked it and she smiled, taking another sip to humor him.
A little small talk, another smile, another sip of wine. A few moments later the room started to spin, and suddenly Marvin was standing next to her, rubbing her back, asking if she was all right.
And then he grabbed Laura by the arm with one hand and wrapped his other hand in her hair, tipping her head back and forcing her to drink.
Laura choked and spit, swallowing a huge mouthful, then she dropped the glass, spilling the rest of her wine, and stumbled backwards. She fell, half landing on the bed, groping for support. Her vision blurred and she blinked, trying to clear it.
She heard Marvin laughing, telling her how beautiful she looked in her teddy, asking if she’d worn it just for him. She felt his hands run over her body as he bent over, trying to kiss her, his hands groping at her breasts and pulling at the snaps on the crotch of her teddy, touching her.
She fought him, kicking and scratching, until he slapped her, snapping her head back into the mattress. She groaned and Marv stood over her, unbuckling his pants. When they dropped down to his knees, Laura kicked him in the groin as hard as she could.
Her aim was off, but Marv still collapsed on top of her, moaning and nursing his bruised ego. Laura squirmed out from underneath him and rolled off the bed onto the floor.
Then whatever Marv had drugged the wine with kicked in with a vengeance.
Groping for support, her vision blurring, Laura used the small table next to the bed to help pull herself upright. She had enough presence of mind to grab the spare card key to my room, and managed to open her door and stagger down the steps. She could hear Marv muttering obscenities through his teeth as he shuffled painfully after her.
She jammed the card key in the lock and fell through my door just as Marv reached her. He tried to push through, reaching for her, but Laura kicked the door shut as hard as she could, smacking it off of Marv’s face and stunning him enough to make him howl in pain and stagger backwards.
The door bounced back and she kicked it again, slamming it shut. The door locked automatically. Laura could hear Marv banging at the door, swearing at her.
And then she blacked out.
Hours later she came to on my floor, feeling ill. She crawled into the bathroom and threw up. After a fit of dry-heaves, Laura wobbled back to my bed, eased under the covers and passed out again until she heard me farting around outside.
Still woozy from the drugged wine, for a second she thought Marvin was still trying to get in, and she panicked, bursting into tears. Then I opened the door.
And here we are, full circle.
As she told me her story, Laura clung to me, sobbing. She wouldn’t let me go find Marvin, and frantically pulled me back to the bed when I picked up the phone to call the police. She begged me not to tell anyone what happened.
She no longer looked frightened, or even angry, but when I found myself staring into Laura’s soft, blue eyes, something dark and ugly rose up inside me. Bloody visions of Marvin swam in a cloudy haze through my mind.
Maybe she could see it in my face.
Maybe I muttered something about killing the son of a bitch.
Something made Laura press her soft, sweet body against me, and ask me to stay and simply hold her.
I promised, and I stayed. Eventually, Laura fell asleep, curled against me with her head pillowed in my lap. I stroked her hair and tried to make soothing noises.
When she relaxed and her breathing slowed, I closed my eyes. The dark thing in me bubbled back up to the surface.
And I set it free.
While she slept, Laura cocooned herself tightly against me, her leg nestled in-between mine, her head pillowed gently on my chest. Her warm breath tickled my chin. I must’ve dozed off too, because the next thing I knew the clock on the nightstand said it was past noon and I was blinking sleep from my eyes.
I had a blistering headache. It took a few moments to register what had happened the night before. Something tickled my chest, and when I could clearly, I found Laura smiling up at me, tracing patterns on my chest with a finger.
"Hi," she said.
"Hi yourself."
"You okay?"
I blinked again. "Am I okay?"
She nodded, snuggled closer and softly touched my face.
"You scared me a little, before we fell asleep." Her corners of her eyes crinkled with concern. "And you look like you didn’t sleep."
"I’m fine. Just a…headache. It’ll go away." I toyed with a lock of her hair. It curled around my finger, soft and smooth. "I’m more worried about you right now."
"You know," she gave me a tentative smile. "Right now, I feel okay."
"You’re sure?"
She nodded and touched my lips.
"Really."
Laura shifted her body, rolled half on top of me, and gave me a steamy look that made my toes curl. Something made me think of her husband and their kids, and what had happened this weekend, and suddenly felt...uncomfortable.
For a second, I wondered again what was happening to me, where my conscience had gone. I cleared my throat.
"Laura, we don’t have to..."
"Matt. Shh. Be quiet, okay?"
Her finger touching my lips, I nodded, and she straddled me. The warmth from between her legs burned through my clothes to my skin. Laura smoothed my hair with her hands and smiled gently down at me, her hips riding me in a slow circle.
"Laura…"
Instead of answering, she tugged off my shirt, then scooted down and pulled at my pants. I wiggled out of them while she was slipping off my underwear.
"Oh," she whispered.
Then she closed her eyes and kissed me, and for a time nothing else mattered.

Marvin woke suddenly to a loud pounding, and angry, shouting voices.
He was groggy and dizzy, with ripping headache and a vile taste in his mouth, like steak gone rancid. He blinked hard and looked around himself through grit-crusted eyes, wondering where he was. The last thing he remembered was loading up his car and checking out of the hotel in a rush.
He remembered thinking that he needed to be long gone before that big-tittie bitch Laura woke up.
He knew he’d made a mistake. Maybe a bad one.
Once the bitch told Matt what happened, Marvin figured there’d be hell to pay. He’d learned long ago that if one of a romantic evening went bad, it was better to make himself scarce than to push his luck and get caught with a finger in the cookie jar.
So to speak.
Marvin groaned weakly and spit. He felt sick to his stomach, and wondered if he might have accidentally drank some of the wine he’d drugged for Laura, and passed out in his hotel room.
He coughed and shook his head; no, that couldn’t be right. He remembered getting in his car and driving, songs playing on the radio, freeway traffic. The light, jittery feeling in the pit of his gut he always got after a narrow escape.
So where was he? What the hell happened?
He remembered...a...a thing, transparent like a night fog, raising up outside his convertible and moving towards him. There had been a brief chill, and then a sharp pain at the back of his skull, like an intrusion into his mind. He remembered the roadlights dimming, the honking of other vehicles as he swerved across lanes of traffic.
He’d felt something take control of him. Something obscenely dark, and ugly, and alive; but it danced just around the edge of his memories, tickling at his thoughts and then quickly faded away.
Marv shook his head, trying to clear it. Pain like razor blades ripped through his temples and he vomited onto the floor, a stinking, bloody mass.
"Sh...shit," he mumbled.
Marv pushed himself up into a crouch, swatting at big, black flies lethargically buzzing around his face, and he spit again. He wiped a long sliver of pink saliva from his chin with the back of a blood-spattered hand.
"What the…hell...?"
He stared down at a large butcher knife; clotted to the hilt with drying gore and clutched in his nerveless fingers. Marvin shouted wordlessly and clambered quickly to his feet. He froze, gasping and staring mutely at the carnage lying around him.
He stood naked in the middle of a small room. Three mutilated female bodies, covered with gore and bloated flies, stared vacantly back at his blood-slimed body.
"Oh-my-God," he whispered.
The bungalow door crashed open, and Marvin spun in a circle as riot-gear clad police officers spilled into the small room, their weapons drawn and aiming at his chest.
"Police! Drop your weapon! Drop the knife! Drop it, Goddamit!"
The knife fell, spinning slowly to the floor.
Seconds later, the police swarmed over Marvin Caruthers like the flies feasting in the noon heat.
A deep, hoarse voice, from a huge, dark man sitting in the passenger seat of a long, plain white panel van. He pointed at a building across the street from where the van was parked, idling quietly at the curb.
"Those two."
Sunday, a little after noon. Church was letting out; all the sweet, rich white people, all dressed up in their Sunday best suits and dresses, done with service and streaming out of the old, red-brick chapel, their scrubbed pink faces flushed with the love of the Lord; scrambling down the steps, anxious to be the first to get to the parking lot to leave to be early and get a good seat for Sunday

brunch; or standing around in small groups, chatting happily with friends and acquaintances. Laughing children took the time to play, scampering to and fro, running from each other and hiding from old women wearing too much makeup trying to catch and kiss them.
The huge man nodded in the direction of two women stepping off the church steps. "Headin' ta th' Land Rover parked over'n the corner by the trees."
The other men in the van shifted in their seats to see. Nine heads swiveled: four shaved bald, one with a big, puffy 70's style afro, the others either short and nappy or dreaded-out. Ten altogther, counting the big man in the passenger seat. The vans' suspension creaked and groaned under their weight. The driver puffed on a joint and cracked his window for a better look at the women his partner was pointing out: a chunky carrot-top in her mid-to-late thirties, with huge jugs bouncing around in a tight black turtleneck, a white silk scarf tied around her shoulders. A big, round ass that was packed into a pair of shiny black slacks that looked painted on, tapering around her ankles. Feet wrapped in dark leather sandals. Wavy shoulder length hair pulled up and pinned at the back of her neck. The other woman was older by a couple of decades but looked similar in the face. The younger woman's mother, maybe. Probably. The driver grunted and nodded in appreciation. The older bitch still had it goin' on. Slim and graying, but with a nice rack filling out her white silk blouse; a tiny waist, nice hips and long, shapely legs sheathed under a tight, dark blue skirt with a slit up the back. Nylon stockings and high heels. Fuck me heels. A small, tasteful string of pearls hanging from her neck, matching earrings. Her ass swished as she walked.
, he thought. I'll give the bitch a motherfuckin' pearl necklace she'll never forget.
Yeah
"Yeah." The driver croaked, letting out the hit as the carrot-top pointed her keys and tweeped the sparkling gold Land Rover unlocked. "They'll do." He smiled, wickedly, flashing a mouthful of gold teeth. "Two for one. The man'll dig it."
"Sweet ride," grunted the brother with the 'fro, from the back. The nappy/dreadlocked brothers all nodded, whispering and giggling. Stoned. Excited with the hunt.
"Shi-i-it." Drawled the huge man. "Stupid rich bitches. This is like shoppin' for skeezers at Nordstroms."
The guy with the fro, chiming in: "Skeezers 'R Us."
More stoned giggling from the back of the van.
The big guy, bloodshot eyes wide and white against his black skin, peering out of the windshield at the gathering storm clouds on the horizon. "S'gonna rain."
"Yeah, big time." The driver took another hit, passed the joint across. "Supposed to be a thunderstorm comin'." He chuckled, sleepy-eyed. Dead stoned. "A big one. Good for us."
The men were quiet again. Went back to waiting. Toking out. Pot smoke drifted lazily out of the open window into the warm spring air. The Land Rover eased out of the parking lot and drove right by the van. The women looked like they were arguing. The driver smacked the the van into gear and pulled out into traffic, settling into the flow a couple cars behind the Rover.
"S'time, boys. Let's check the shit out."
***
Here we are again, Rachel thought. Home sweet home. Except, it's not. Not anymore.
Rachel pulled into her parents' - her mom's - long driveway, and pressed the remote for the garage door just as the first big, fat raindrops began splatting down on the 'Rovers' windshield. Rachel drove towards the house without speaking. The sky had turned a dark gray under the cloud cover. Her parents - mom's - house, the home she'd grown up in, that had always felt so bright and cheerful and alive loomed ahead like a dead thing. To Rachel's eye, it looked empty and forlorn. The garage door opened and she eased inside, parked, and turned off the ignition. Took a deep breath and sat still. Her mom unsnapped her seat-belt and glanced over at her. Outside, thunder boomed, not far off. Rachel peered at the rear-view mirror. Behind them, rain started pouring down, flooding the street, sluicing off the open garage door in torrents and streaming into the garage. Beating down on an old, white van that stopped and parked under the tall fir trees across the street. In seconds it was so dark and raining so hard she could barely see the van.
Weather matches my mood, she thought.
"Thanks for coming to church with me today," said Brenda. "You didn't have to."
Rachel turned her attention away from the rain. Bit her lip, nodded. "I know mom. I wanted to."
Brenda took a deep breath, twisted slightly towards Rachel. "Sweetie, I'm okay. Really." She sat quietly, calmly. Hands clasped in her lap, watching her daughter carefully. "You know, you don't have to stay."
"Mom..."
Brenda hurried on, the words coming in a rush. Cutting Rachel off. "I'm glad you and your brother were able to be here for your father's funeral. But its been two weeks. Kyle's already gone back to Denver. You've got your family waiting for you at home. They need you. And...I think I'm ready to be alone for a while." At Rachel's frown of concern, Brenda tried a smile. "Look, why don't you stay the night. We'll make dinner, maybe rent a movie. But tomorrow you're going home."
Rachel tried again. "Mom, I don't mind..."
Brenda shook her head. Firmly. "No. That's that. I appreciate everything, sweetheart. Really. I'm glad we were able to go through this together. But tomorrow you go back to your own life, and I'll go on with mine." She smiled to take the edge off her words. Patted her daughter's knee. Shifted in the leather seat and opened the door. "Now, I think I want to go lie down for a bit."
Rachel barely heard the splash of her mother's feet hitting the flood of water as Brenda stepped out of the car. She watched her mom disarm the alarm system, open the door to the house and disappear inside. She took another deep, defiant breath, finally let it out in a whoosh.
"Shit." She said, out-loud, to no one. "Fine."
Frowning, Rachel grabbed her keys and her bag. Opened her door. Followed her mom up the short set of steps to the house, annoyed by the soft swish-swish of her pant legs rubbing together. Been gaining a lot of weight lately, time to hit the gym again. Or stop with the late night ice cream sessions. She locked the car with the remote and whacked the button on the wall, activating the closing mechanism for the garage, then stepped inside the house, shutting out the sound of the storm. She didn't notice the doors to the van open and the swarm of men in ski-masks moving quickly across the street towards the house, or the masked man in dark coveralls, slipping under the closing door into the garage behind her; didn't hear him over the boom of the thunder and the pounding rain. She stepped into the kitchen and shut the door, concern for her mother distracting her.
So she didn't see the man creep up on the steps after her. Didn't see the big, scarred hand that pressed the button on the wall.
Didn't hear the sound of the garage door, ratcheting open again.

The driver drove with traffic, carefully, keeping far enough back to not be spotted, close enough not to lose sight of the gold SUV. Traffic cleared and he pulled up behind them, just for a second. Checked the bitches body language through the hatchback window. Looked like they'd stopped fighting, stopped talking altogether. Outside, the storm was brewing, heavy gray clouds turning darker and darker overhead. Lightning was already striking on the horizon, to the south. The Rover signaled and turned north, heading onto the freeway. Took the off-ramp cutting east, towards the lakefront.
In the back, Afro-boy noticed where they were headed, and whistled. "Shit, man. Houses out here be 'spensive like a motherfuck. Ain't no way nobody not gonna notice us, ten brothers hangin' in a mu'fuckin' van."
"Don't worry, bitch. Already thought 'bout it." The man-mountain in the passenger seat leaned over, rooted around on the floor under his seat. Came back up with two magnet signs, advertising a local cable company. Stolen off a cable truck a couple days ago. Flashed them at the guys in the back, who snorted with muffled laughter. Rolled his window down and slapped one on the door panel. Made sure it was right-side up, then handed the extra sign to the driver. Took the wheel as he did the same. "There. Nobody gonna think twice about us bein' parked on some street, or in those bitches driveway. Know what I'm sayin'?"
Afro-boy nodded, impressed.
Man-mountain and the driver glanced at each other, rolled their eyes. The driver went back to driving, thinking about the surveillance pictures the man-mountain had taken of the bitches' house, the whole bitches' neighborhood. Big, expansive, private lots. Houses set way back from the street. Amazingly, no security.
A nice, quiet place for nice, rich folks to live, in their nice, expensive, secluded homes.
He grinned, showing his rotting teeth. Glanced at them in the rearview mirror and almost laughed out loud. Just a few more runs with payoffs like this one would have, he'd get his shit taken care of, just like his partner: shit capped in gold.
***
Rachel flipped on the kitchen light, dropped her purse and keys on the counter by the espresso machine she and Steve had bought her parents last Christmas, when they'd been on their coffee kick. Before her father had gotten sick. Rachel frowned and looked around at the familiar clutter. Brenda had already disappeared. She faintly heard the soft sounds of a body getting comfortable on a bed, coming from the master bedroom, just past the family room, down at the end of the hall. A flash of lightning lit the windows, illuminating the sheet of water pouring down, obscuring the backyard. The storm was getting closer, almost on top of them. Rachel opened a cupboard, pulled out a long-stemmed glass. Found an open bottle of wine in the fridge. Poured herself half a glass of the cool, amber liquid. Drank it down, poured another. Carried the glass and the bottle into the family room. Set them both on the coffee table and collapsed onto the sofa. Took another sip. Put her feet up on the table, pressed her knuckles into her eyes and ground her head back into the cushions. Groaned and stretched, feeling the wine already numbing her system. She bend backwards into the cushions, arching her spine until it cracked.
God, that feels good.
Lightning. A big, bright flash. Out went the lights. Barely one o'clock in the afternoon, and the house was pitch dark inside.
"Shit." Rachel huffed. She rolled her eyes in irritation, let her arms plop onto the couch. Stared up into the dark, towards the ceiling. Where the ceiling should be, anyway, since it was too freakin' dark to see it now. "Shit shit shit."
She sighed, frowning, and waited for the lights to come back on, her eyes wide open. Staring up at nothing but dark space.
Another flash, immediately followed by a boom of thunder that shook the house.
Rachel screamed. A pair of big, strong hands clamped hard over her mouth, cutting off her screech. She tried to push the hands away, but more hands found her wrists, pinned them to the top of the couch. She panicked, fighting. Kicked out and knocked the coffee table over with a crash.
A deep voice, whispering, "Dammit, get her! Hold the bitch down!"
She heard the crunch of glass as something big and heavy fell on her, knocking the wind out of her. She grunted and kicked. More hands, wrapping around her ankles.
"Got her!"
"Flip her over and hold her so I can get the ring in her mouth before the cunt bites me."
Rachel fought, kicking and squirming and gnashing at the hand covering her face, but she had no chance, one against the five men holding her squirming body.
"Dammit! Hold her down! Yeah...now get her head up and open her mouth. If she bites, I'll kill one of you motherfuckers."
More lighting now. One crashing burst after another, like an awful strobe light. Rachel got insane, distorted images of her attackers with each of the flashes. She knew - knew - what was going to happen to her. Without a doubt. Knew she going to be raped. Was maybe even as good as dead. She thought of her mother, asleep in the other room. Had she heard the men? Had she called the police, or were the phones dead, like the lights?
She fought with all her strength. Screamed into the hand covering her mouth. Kicked. Felt her sandaled foot strike something soft and yielding. Heard a grunt of pain, got a small twinge of satisfaction.
"Fuck!" Someone muttered. "Bitch kicked me!"
The hand left Rachel's mouth for a second, and she was backhanded across the face. Her lip split and blood seeped into her mouth. Stunned, she was easily rolled over, forced to kneel on the couch, her butt up in the air. Arms circled her waist. Another flash of lightning lit the room. Strong hands tangled in her hair, jerking her head up. The man holding her waist twisted her scarf, knotting it tight around her throat, and yanked, cutting off her oxygen. A hand slipped down her belly, under the waistband of her pants. Probed at her crotch. Someone dry-humped her ass. The men laughed and grunted. Thick fingers jabbed deep into her nostrils and pulled up. Flesh tore. A blast of pain made her eyes water. More fingers, prying her jaw open. She gagged and moaned as something hard and rubbery was shoved into her bloody mouth. Wiggled into place, bracing her jaws wide open.
"There...just like that...there. Got it."
"God-damn, man. She's got a big fuckin' ass."
The man choking her slapped her ass, making her grunt. He twisted the scarf tighter, the edges of the material biting into her straining neck. She moaned feebly. Rachel's eyes rolled up into her head as a deeper blackness began to take hold.
"Shit man! Don't kill her - let up on that a little! I ain't fuckin' no dead bitch, an' she ain't worth anything..."
"Fuck man, I ain't gonna..."
"Shut the fuck up! You know the rules. Man won't take 'em if we hurt 'em too much. Just get her pants off so we can have some fun."
The pressure around her neck eased. A little. The fingers ripped out of her nostrils. The men didn't bother taking off her clothes. They just wanted them out of their way. Easier to just rip everything apart, and took less time then removing them piece by piece. Actually made some of the guys hornier than if she was full-blown naked anyway. Her turtleneck was yanked up over her chest, around her armpits. Fingernails scratched at her heavy, swaying breasts, tugging the cups of her bra until they stuck under her tits. Her thin leather belt was undone, the snap to her pants torn open. She heard the rip of the zipper, felt the pressure ease off her backside as the pants were pulled over her butt and down her quivering thighs. They were left bunched around her calves, good as tying her legs with a rope.
"Ahhh, shit - look at that ass..." The man behind her sighed. Her panties were pulled away from her butt; Rachel heard the material tear, felt cool air on her skin.
The huge man in front of Rachel unzipped, reached into his coveralls and pulled out a thick, meaty black cock. He smacked it against her forehead, rubbed it on her cheeks. The mask he wore hid his upper face, but the bottom was cut away. He smiled, revealing rotting, pitted teeth. He grabbed her by the hair to keep her head in place and pushed the tip of his massive, flaccid dick into her pried-open mouth.
"Time to fuck, bitch," he growled, and shoved with his hips.
Rachel's jaw popped. She gagged as his cock was forced down her throat; smelled old sweat and smoke and rancid, foul body odor. Behind her, something big and hard was rubbing the crack of her ass, probing, poking at her dry cunt. Rough hands squeezed her tits, fingers pinched her sensitive nipples. The men around her joked and laughed, kept up running comments on her body.
Helpless, Rachel began to cry.
***
It was Rachel's scream that woke Brenda. Amazingly, she'd dozed off quickly, exhausted from lack of sleep. The last months had been hard. She'd taken care of her husband while he wasted away, until she just couldn't do it anymore. Then she'd spent the last few weeks living at the hospice. Her kids had come, and tried to help. They meant well, she knew. Especially Rachel. But now...now that everything was over...
Brenda just wanted to rest.
She walked into the empty house and followed the familiar route to her bedroom without even thinking. Didn't turn a light on until she'd flopped, fully dressed, onto her bed. Then she switched on the small light that sat on her nightstand. Lightning flashed outside, and the light blinked off.
Brenda sighed. Knew the power was out. That was fine. She'd flip the circuit breaker after a nap. Or Rachel could. That's what she was here for, wasn't she? To help? Brenda sighed and rolled over, digging into her covers, and listened to the rain patter against her windows. Let the steady, quiet rhythm lull her to sleep...
And then the scream.
Brenda snapped awake, sat up in a rush, her head feeling thick and groggy. Had she been dreaming? Was that really a scream? Then her motherly instincts kicked in, recognized the voice.
Rachel.
Realized the lights were out.
.
She must've hurt herself
Brenda rolled over, stood up. Absently patted her hair as she opened the bedroom door.
"Rachel? Sweetie? You okay?"
Brenda froze, staring at the mountain of a man standing in front of her. Over the crash of thunder, she heard the vague sounds of a struggle down the hall. Realized what was happening in an instant. Her eyes popped open, took a breath, but didn't get a chance to scream. A hand the size of a small ham clamped around her throat, and she was pushed back into her room and onto her bed, carried half off the floor like she weighed no more than a child.
"Find some pantyhose and tie her down," the man-mountain rasped.
He forced himself between her flailing legs. Lay on top of her. Crushed her with his body. Spittle ran from his mouth, dripped on her face as she gasped for breath. Lightning lit the room, one continuous flash after another, followed by deafening booms of thunder. Brenda's arms were yanked at right angles over her head, pinned to the bed. Masked men in coveralls unceremoniously pulled out her dresser drawers, spilling the contents, tossing her clothes until they found her underwear, her lingerie. One of the men found a pair of silk stockings, held them up for inspection.
The man-mountain nodded. "Yeah. Perfect." The silken hose was tied to the headboard and a post at the end of the bed, then to each of Brenda's wrists.
"Get me a ring and open her mouth..."
"No-o-oooo..." She moaned around the hand clamped tight over her face.
Her high heels scuffed the floor. She lost a shoe as she kicked and bucked under the man crushing the breath from her. Fingers pinched her nose. The man-mountain let go of her neck, let go of her face, and Brenda gasped for breath, opening her mouth wide. His hand quickly pressed down and pulled at her chin. Fingers pushed past her lips and pried open her mouth even further. Someone forced something hard and rubbery in past her teeth. She bit down hard, but the rubbery thing kept her from inflicting any damage. Got a bruising punch in the kidney for her trouble. Brenda's eyes flew open and her knees came up with the burst of pain, locking around the man-mountain's waist. He wiggled the rubber ring, wedging it in tight. The thing covered her teeth, left her mouth open in a wide, vulnerable circle.
The man tying her finished. The man-mountain laughed down at her. Mocking. "Old bitch still got teeth." Brenda felt the silk stockings bite into her wrists, felt her fingers go numb.
"Not anymore." The man that tied her climbed onto the bed, kneeling right above her head. Unzipped his fly. He leered down at her, his bloodshot eyes partially hidden behind his mask. "Wanna see what I got for you, you old fuckin' cunt?"
He pulled his cock out, let it flop on her face. His meat was warm and heavy; big enough that it covered her face from the top of her head to her jaw. Brenda squeezed her eyes shut and shook her head, back and forth, moaning. His cock flopped off onto the bed, twitched like a dying fish.
The huge man on top of her grunted. "Spread her legs."
Two men behind him grabbed her ankles, yanked her legs wide.
"Let's see some titty."
The man on top of her eased off, then ripped open her blouse. Lighting flashed, pulsing like a strobelight, making everything move like a slow motion nightmare. Big, rough hands moved over her body; played with her tits, rucked her skirt up around her hips. Suddenly able to breath again, Brenda screamed. The men laughed. A hole was torn in the crotch of her stockings, from front to back. The seam of her panties was pulled out and ripped in half. Brenda heard more zippers open. Saw more big cocks point her way. Big hands circled her waist, pinning her hips in place, down on the bed. The man-mountain spit on his hand, reached down and pushed a wet finger into her snatch.
She screamed again, wiggled. Tried in vain to avoid the cock slapping her face. Tried in vain to kick, break her legs away from the men holding them. Screamed as the finger slipped into her, knuckle by thick knuckle, finger-fucking her. Screamed as someone took her by a throbbing wrist and pried her fingers open, forced her to cup and stroke another long, thick, limp dick.
Annoyed, the man-mountain looked up at the guy cock-slapping Brenda's face. "Shut th' bitch up, man. Damn! Quit playin' with it and stick that shit down her fuckin' throat."
"Heh." The cock-slapper laughed, shifted his hips so his ass was directly above Brenda's face. He bent and grabbed a handful of her hair, forcing her head back into the mattress, turning her face straight up. He levered the tip of his cock into her gaping mouth, eased it inside. Brenda gagged and her entire body quivered as the hot, sweaty meat slipped in, inch by inch. She tried to bite down but the rubber-ring only compressed enough to make her jaw hurt. He ignored her, didn't stop, pushing and thrusting deep into the back of her neck, until her eyes were bugging from the pain and her stomach was heaving. Bile and spit burped up around the sides of his shaft, lubricating him, making it easier to force himself down her constricting throat, until finally his balls rested lightly on her forehead, his curly black pubic hair poking her eyes.
"Ahh, yeah..." he sighed.
Then he started to bounce, slowly. Up and down. Never moving his cock more than a few inches, keeping it buried.
The man-mountain pulled his finger out of Brenda's twat with a wet pop. He unzipped his pants and his cock sprang out, a foot-long mass of hard, black flesh and throbbing veins. He pressed it against her pussy lips. Rubbed. His cock getting longer, harder. Getting lubed up. He groaned with pleasure, grabbed his dick in hand and jabbed the tip into her pussy. Ripped into her. Brenda screamed with the last of her breath, the sound like a feeble croak around the dick fucking her face, and her body spasmed. The man-mountain laughed and caught her around the waist with his hands, pushed with his legs and ass, letting his weight drive him forward, deeper into her, until his dick was rammed tight into her cunt. He unbuttoned the top of his coveralls and slipped them over his shoulders, letting them fall to the floor. Exposing his naked, hairy chest. He let himself fall on top of her, enjoyed the feel of her silk shirt bunched against his skin. He grabbed her breasts, snapping one satin strap off at the seam, where the strap met the white, lacy material of the cup; and engulfed a rubbery pink nipple in his thick, slobbery lips. She squealed with pain as he chomped down on her tit and wiggled under him, exciting him. He grinned at her pained face, tearing at her nipple, his gold teeth gleaming in the flashes of light.
"Awright bitch." Whispered into her ear as his partner slow-fucked her in the throat. "Time to split your shit in half."
He slowly eased his hips back, pulling gently out of her snatch.
He grinned. Squeezed her tits, holding them tight, bracing his huge, flabby arms straight, using her breasts for leverage. Crushing away what little breath she was able to draw from her blocked throat. Held her down, and slammed all twelve inches back into her cunt, as hard as he could.
Brenda felt something inside her tear. Pain shot through her abdomen. She whimpered and thrashed against her silken binds, scissoring her legs and kicking out as the man-mountain chewed her tits and fucked her, hard and fast. Pain, like she'd never known, not even when she'd delivered her babies. At least then she'd been drugged, the pain numbed. Sweat began dripping off the cock-slapper's balls, off his ass, onto her face. Her chest and belly grew slippery with the man-mountain's sweat and slobber as he licked and bit at her tits. Blood oozed from her torn pussy, smearing the inside of her legs and her crotch, staining her torn panties and nylons. One of the man holding her ankles pressed the heel of her stockinged foot against his throbbing member. Ground his crotch against the silky material. Then the man-mountain grunted like a bull and jerked hard. Started pounding her, his belly smothering her, grinding his fat ass in a hard, desperate circle.
Barely a minute, and the rapist was ready for his release.
More than. He'd been waiting for this bitch, waiting to fuck this pussy for days, until his balls were swollen and heavy and sore. He'd caught his first glimpse of her as she was leaving a funeral, along with the other bitch in the living room. Did his homework. Followed them home, tailed them for weeks. Told his partners, who already had a man set up to buy her, and her daughter, too. Half the money had already been transferred, getting everything in motion. Which is why he and the boys had been waiting that morning. Followed the bitches to breakfast, then to church.
As soon as he saw the old bitch at the funeral, he wanted her. Would'a probably come for her even if they hadn't found a buyer. And today - when he saw her walking down those church steps, with her skirt swishing around her knees, saw the shadow of her lacy bra through her blouse - man, he wanted her like F'n crazy. Had enough with the blue-balls. He needed to fuck.
Now he had her.
And he was ready to fill her with a big fucking load of hot, white cum.
The veins in his neck stood out like cords as he fucked her and he bellowed as he came, squeezing Brenda's breasts so hard she thought he was going to tear them off. The pain from his massive cock ripping and tearing in her suddenly eased. He pumped into her again and again with short, hard thrusts, shooting her full of hot cum; the thick jets of warm semen burned like salt for a moment, then soothed her torn insides. She felt the cum ooze and drip out of her twat and down the crack of her ass. His arms trembled and he collapsed onto her belly. Brenda felt his cock slowly wither and go limp inside her.
Then he shoved violently away and stepped away from the bed. The next man in line, the one who had been jacking off with her foot, stepped between her legs to take his turn. Brenda groaned as his cock slipped into her, painfully filling her again.
Tears leaked from her eyes, blending with the sweat from the man face-fucking her. He was breathing hard now, his thrusts coming faster. His cock was hot and throbbing, felt like it was on fire in her mouth. He turned, levering a leg over her chest, and kneeled over her neck. Grabbed handfuls of her hair and pulled her head forward. Sharp pain shot down her spine and the coarse denim of his coveralls scraped her bruised lips as he rammed his cock faster and faster. It swelled in her mouth, cutting off her air again. He tore at her hair, slamming her head forward to meet each thrust. He let out a low growl deep in his throat and came, just as the new man started fucking her pussy. He held her face against his hairy crotch, his orgasm shooting a long stream of hot, salty cum down Brenda's throat.
Outside, the storm kept raging. No one in the house even noticed when it passed.
***
Rachel lay face down, spread-eagled on the bed, on top of her mother. Arms and legs tied tight, her clothes now mostly gone except for her bra and her scarf, which the man fucking her ass had wrapped around her face, using it like a horse bridle. The men had been there, in the house, raping them over and over, for hours. Seemed even longer, like days. Except for the pain, Rachel found that she almost no longer cared about the rape. The men had all taken their turn, using each of them as they wanted. Ate food from the refrigerator. Drank her mothers wine. Got stoned. Slept. Fucked them some more. She'd been raped on the couch off-and-on until the old grandfather clock on the wall said it was past eight in the evening. If no one was using her, she was tied like a pig about to be slaughtered, with her hands bound tightly to her ankles, and then gagged until the next round or rapes began.
It was rare that she'd been left alone for long.
They'd dragged her into her mother's room, bruised and beaten, not long after ten that night. The men let them both use the toilet, then tied them down to the bed good and tight. Her mother was spread-eagled across the middle of the bed, flat on her back, feet almost touching the floor. Rachel on top, facing her. The men had strapped a big, black dildo around her waist, and forced her to use it to fuck her mother while they took turns raping her in the ass. Rachel watched Brenda's tears run down the side of her face, tried desperately to ignore the warm touch of Brenda's flesh against hers. The men dug around in the closets, found her mother's cameras. Laughed and took pictures, videotaped everything. Played the rapes over on the television while they taped more.
Eventually they finished. Showered, pulled back on their coveralls as the first hint of sunlight filtered through the pulled window blinds. Rachel listened as they spoke, tried to make sense of what was going to happen next.
The man with the gold teeth stepped to the edge of the bed, grinning. Held up a syringe. Squirted liquid from the wicked, gleaming needle.
Brenda silently closed her eyes. Rachel jerked frantically above her, again trying to pull her wrists free, to fight.
The rest of the men crowded around. Strong hands and the silk bonds held them still, no matter how hard they struggled.
The man grinned. "Time to go to sleep..."
Pantyhose twisted around Rachel's forearm, at the crook of her elbow. A hand smacked her arm. Veins popped out. Rachel felt the bite of the needle and began to weep uncontrollably. Felt the rush of warmth as the drug flooded her system. Faintly heard her mother gasp around her gag as she was stuck as well. The needle was yanked away, and a small trail of blood dripped from the wound.
The room began to spin. Grew hazy. Rachel felt her eyes droop, the lids too heavy to keep open.
Then she felt very little at all, for a very long time.
***
Unconscious, Rachel and Brenda were stripped completely naked, bagged and tied. The driver backed the van into an empty bay in the garage. The women were carried out and dumped unceremoniously on the cold steel flooring, covered with old blankets. The men took what they wanted from the house, scavenged the cash and cards from the purses on the counter. Loaded up as much as they could, and piled back in themselves, except for the man-mountain. He pounded the drivers' door as the van pulled out of the driveway, headed back to the abandoned warehouse where they'd unload the packages for transport and get all the stolen shit ready to fence.
He jingled the keys to the Rover, opened the door. Turned on the ignition, eased the seat back and settled in for the drive to the hack-shop, running calculations in his head. Figuring the two bitches, all the shit to hock, and the Rover... It was a nice haul. Better than he expected. He figured they should clear maybe a mil, mil-and-a-half on this job, easy.
Once paid, everything sold, he'd divvy up the cash. Then they'd all go their separate ways for a while, lay low again until the next order came in.
Or somebody caught his fancy again.
***
Brenda woke, sleepy-eyed but clear-headed, for the first time in... how long? Days? Weeks? She wasn't sure.
She tried to sit up. Made it about half-way before something stopped her. A small burst of pain in her belly. A jingle of chains. For a second, she thought she was still at home, tied to her bed. She looked around, realized she was still tied up in a bed, but not her bed. Or her room.
Wasn't in her house at all.
It was warm, even though Brenda could hear the buzz of air-conditioning, feel cool air blowing from an overhead vent. She glanced around. The mattress was comfortable, covered with a cool, white satin sheet. Thin gold chains around her wrists and ankles tied her to a solid iron bed frame. The room was small with a high ceiling, brightly lit. Video cameras mounted high in each corner, LED lights glowing red. Other than the cameras, the room contained nothing but the bed she was chained to. One doorway on her right, a few feet away, covered with a transparent silk hanging. Brenda herself felt clean, smelled a subtle, flowery perfume. Dressed - if you could call it that - head to foot in pure white silk and lace, with lots of skin still showing.
She shifted on the bed, her silk lingerie whispering against the satin sheet. Brenda was horrified to discover she felt slightly... aroused. Felt kind of... tingly. All over.
Felt wet. Down there.
Brenda pulled on her chains, yanking hard on the slim bands of gold. Heard something over the jangle of chains against the iron bed frame.
Then she froze.
Voices, from out of the room, getting closer. A hand, sweeping back the curtain in the doorway. A man and a young boy stepped into the room, both dark-skinned, the man with a thick, black goatee covering his chin. Both dressed in... robes? Arabic? They stared at her blankly, like she was just another piece of furniture, the man speaking to the boy in another language. Foreign. Pointing, jabbing his finger at Brenda's tits, at her crotch. The boy listened intently, his small, round face slightly flushed.
Brenda tried to speak, couldn't. Her mouth was still propped wide open. Only managed a series of weak grunts. The man slapped her across the face, violently knocking her head to the side. He raised his fist again, shook it at Brenda. She understood immediately, gulped spittle and blood, shook her head, wide-eyed. Kept quiet. Didn't want to get hit again. The man turned his attention to the boy, spoke something, rapid-fire. Then he turned on his heel and stomped out of the room.
The sound of his footsteps died away. Brenda turned her eyes on the boy, pleading. He stared back. She glanced quickly at the open doorway, but the man appeared to be gone. She tried to catch the boys' eye, looked from him up to her chained wrist. Again. Imploring him with her tears.
The boy broke into a wicked grin and hit her; pounded her in the stomach full-on, with a closed fist, putting all the strength of his small body into the blow. Shouted at her as she gasped for breath and tried to curl up in a protective ball. The chains held her in place while her body convulsed, flopping around on the bed. Eventually, the pain ebbed.
Fresh tears dripped down Brenda's cheeks.
A burst of scolding from the boy. Wagging his finger at her. Then he stripped. Let his robes drop to the floor. Naked, hairless except for the dark black mop on his head, he climbed on top of her, between her splayed legs, his small, brown cock sticking straight out over her belly. His little hands grabbed at her tits. Squeezed until she screamed - an animal sound, pouring out of her until she was hoarse. He laughed, his voice high like a girls, and lay on top of her. He weighed almost nothing. Brenda felt his little cock poking and probing, felt it slip inside her.
When her body responded to him almost immediately, she gasped. He pulled the cups of her lace bra down over her breasts. His little teeth found her nipple, bit hard, drawing blood. Pain shot through her, bringing shivers of pleasure; pleasure that in turn caused fresh tears of shame and humiliation. Brenda's back arched as he entered her, pushing her breast hard against his mouth; without conscious thought her legs spread wider for him, scissored against his sides, his buttocks.
This can't be happening, she thought. The boy grinned, staring at her with her brown nipple caught in his white little teeth, stretching it... Fucking her. Pumping her with his little cock.
Another flash of pleasure, blinding her senses until all she could hear was the soft sound of her low moans of passion over a child's sweet laughter; followed by a warm explosion in her crotch, and a flood of moisture that trickled out of her body...
***
At the other side of the hall, in his private rooms, the boy's father was sitting in front of a series of color video monitors, watching as his son punished his new toy, a small gift for his birthday, a tiny pittance spent to celebrate his son's first day of manhood; then watched happily as he fucked the woman. Watched as the drugs the woman had been injected with took hold. Watched her respond to his son, clamping her stocking-clad legs around his slim body.
Smiled the smile of a proud man. He himself had picked out the woman's clothes, the finest in the Western world's lingerie: the lace brassiere, the garter belt, the silk stockings. Her jewelry. He prepared her himself. Just like his father had for him. He remembered his first time, his first toy. Remembered his own father's pride as he slowly, methodically broke the woman to his will.
That seemed such a long time ago now.
Once he was certain nothing was amiss, the man turned from the rows of streaming video, camera angles flickering from room to room throughout the mansion, the entire property, and let his son have his private moment. He stood and stepped into his own room, stripping off his robes as he moved. Tossed them aside and stood naked, admiring the thick curves of the woman in front of him, gagged and tied face down on the torturers' rack. Ready to be taken. His manhood stood out from his body, hard and thick. Pulsing with need. From a shelf overflowing with his favorite tools, he selected a small, supple riding crop.
Rachel saw him in front of her. Whimpered. He yanked her head up by her hair so her face was level with his cock, grinned down at her. His eyes were alive, dancing with evil lust. Her body was already covered with bloody welts. His son's work.
Teaching. Always teaching.
He showed her the riding crop. Brought it down hard, cracking it across her shoulders.
Rachel screamed into her gag. Her body quivered with pain from the new gash as fresh blood flowed. The man moved behind her, fingered her pussy. She was wet. Hot. He knew that she would be: the new sex drug was working perfectly. He liked them better this way: begging, crying, in pain; always in pain, but unable to control the responses of their bodies to the administration of the pain.
The man ran the tip of the crop lightly down the side of her naked, sweaty flank. She flinched, trying to slip away from the probing leather. He grabbed his cock, stroking himself, rubbing her pussy. Slipped snugly inside her soft, wet folds. She was a perfect fit.
"You are mine now, woman." He raised the crop again, and smiled.
Janice Hamilton cringed in the dark supply closet, shaking and terrified, listening for more gunshots, the sounds of men shouting and screaming in pain. She held her tiny silver crucifix to her lips and prayed.
She’d clocked out at a few minutes after six. Doctor Black hadn’t yet returned to the office, but that wasn’t a surprise to her. He’d been spending most of his time with the new patient the last few weeks. Everyone else on her floor had already left for the day, even Gus the security guard. The only other person in the staff wing of the building was Doctor Murray, who ha

d just locked up his office.
"That time again," he set a patients folder in Janice’s in-box and zipped up his briefcase.
"Finally," she said. "Hope you don’t expect me to get to that tonight."
He laughed. "It can wait. I…Holy shit! What the hell is that?"
They both jumped at the sudden noise as the alarms went off. Janice felt a bolt of fear shoot down her spine. Muffled shouts drifted through the office walls.
"Oh, God," she stammered. "What’s going on? The alarms never…"
Doctor Murray took her by the shoulders and shook her. "Janice, call the guard station and find out if this is a drill. I’m going to see what’s going on. Okay?"
"O-okay."
"Good. I’ll be right back."
Janice picked up the phone and punched the line for the outer guard station as Doctor Murray stepped out of the office into the small reception area. She watched him open the outer security door and move cautiously into the hall. He stood in front of the office window peering at something out of her line of sight..
"What…" She looked down at the phone and pressed the button again.
Nothing. Completely dead.
She looked up, and was about to call for Doctor Murray when his head exploded like a ripe melon, spraying the window with blood and brains. Bullets ripped through his body and thunked into the bulletproof glass, sending thin cracks snaking through the window.
Janice screamed and dropped the phone in horror. She watched Doctor Murray’s body do a grotesque little jig as the bullets pounded into him, slamming him hard into the window. She clamped her hands to her mouth and back-peddled to the wall as his body slid slowly to the floor, leaving a bloody smear on the webbed glass.
She screamed again when she saw the black tentacles. They pulled what was left of Doctor Murray out of her sight, and she heard a wet, snapping sound, like bones being ripped apart, and another sound…as if something was feeding.
She backed completely into the wall and stood, shaking uncontrollably and unable to move.
Then the office door swung open, and Janice saw the tentacles slip into the office, as if they were searching…
"Omigod…"
Janice looked around frantically; saw her key card next to her bag on her desk. She ran to the desk and grabbed the card, then bolted to the door to the doctor’s offices. She swiped the card through the electronic lock and squeezed through the security door as the tentacles slithered up her office window. Something large and heavy pounded the outer door, hard enough to make the reinforced steel bend and squeal.
Janice ran down the hallway when the door was ripped from its hinges, desperate for a place to hide, trying each locked door as she went. Sweat blinded her eyes and she tripped in her high heels and fell hard. She gasped and swore as she picked herself up.
Behind her, the thing pounded the security door, and Janice begged and pleaded for someone to come and save her as it bent inwards.
"Oh please, oh please…"
She reached the last door, yanked it open and fell into the janitor’s closet, curling up in a sobbing heap in the back corner. She could hear something slithering down the hall towards the closet, and a rush of cold fear set her teeth chattering.
The sound stopped just outside the door. Janice whimpered as a long, thin black tentacle slipped under the doorframe and slid towards her. She squished her body into the corner of the closet and kicked at the thing, but it wrapped tightly around her ankle. She was dragged towards the door as more slipped underneath and krept towards her.
"Nonononooo…"
Janice kicked ineffectually at the tentacles as they ran up her legs. They quickly wound around her body and pinned her to the floor in a lovers embrace, slipping up her skirt and under her blouse. One of the things curled around tightly her head, cutting off her air and muffling her terrified screams, filling her nostrils with a putrid, rotting smell. They ripped at her clothes and touched her in her private spots, wrapping around her breasts, turning her flesh numb and making her squirm.
She struggled to breathe as tiny barbs tore into her clothes and cut her flesh.
Something large and ephemeral moved in the hallway. The lock clicked and the door eased open. A huge, black tentacle slid up the inside of her leg and shoved into her crotch. Janice heard her nylons and panties tear. The tentacle brushed her pussy and she screamed, and the world around her began to turn dark.
Through a red haze Janice heard shouts, and men running.
And then she fainted.
When she woke, the building was quiet as a tomb. She sat up with a start and huddled quickly into her corner, frantically patting her body. Her clothes were in shreds and she was bruised and bleeding from dozens of stinging, oozing cuts where the tentacles had touched her, but she was alive and seemed mostly whole.
She was alone. The tentacles were gone.
Janice remembered the last tentacle and where it was headed before she lost consciousness, and her hand reflexively dropped to her crotch. She felt her vagina through her ripped panties.
Her pussy lips burned and stung, but her hand came away dry, with no blood.
"Demons…" She murmured. "Demons are among us."
She thanked God for sparing her and huddled in the closet, praying fervently. How long she stayed, Janice couldn’t say, but when she finally mustered the courage to peek out into the hallway, all was dark.
On hands and knees she patted around on the floor until she found her key card, and then slowly tip-toed barefoot down the hall, pausing every few feet to listen and look, searching the gloom. She stepped over the remains of the door lying mangled in the hall, through her office and into the visitors’ reception area.
Her feet bumped into something soft and yielding; the remains of Doctor Murray were strewn throughout the hallway. Janice gasped in horror and vomited, retching until she panted for breath. And then she bolted, running blindly through the building, tripping over rubble and trying to ignore the puddles of blood and the dead bodies that were flung about like rag dolls, until she was disoriented and lost in the dark hallways.
She turned a corner into a hallway partially illuminated by moonlight shining through the floor to ceiling windows, and vaguely wondered why there were no lights, why the emergency generators hadn’t turned on. She peered out of the windows at a parking facility and was able to adjust her bearings.
Thank you Lord
Janice turned a corner at an intersection in the hallway and froze, listening. There was something ahead of her. She took an involuntary step backwards, holding out her little cross as if to ward off whatever may be coming towards her.
Then she heard the voice, wavering, as if from great pain.
The moonlight reflected off the little cross, and Janice steeled herself. If someone else was alive, she had to help them if she could.
"Is someone there?" She called. "I can’t see you."
"H-help. P-pleeeaaase…"
She started moving cautiously forward, clutching the cross to her bosom. A dozen yards down the hall, she spied the person calling for help.
"Oh, God. Doctor DuPaul!"
Janice ran towards Alex, who was slowly, painfully clawing and scratching at the floor. Alex weakly raised her head as Janice reached her.
"Here, let me help you…I…"
A smear of blood, looking black in the moonlight, disappeared back into the hall, marking the way she had come. Janice knelt beside the woman and gently rolled her over.
"Oh, no."
Janice shook her head in horror. Alex was drenched in blood, soaked in it.
"Wh-what happened?" She studied at the pain etched in Alex’s face. "Where’s Doctor Black?"
"D-dead…all dead…"
"God. Oh, God…"
Janice cradled Alex in her lap and rocked her, crying. She gently brushed the long hair away from Alex’s eyes, eyes that suddenly turned a murky black.
Static electricity crackled through the air, making the hair on Janice’s arms tingle and stand on end. She glanced up, seeing blue sparks dance along the window ledges.
"What…"
A strong hand suddenly gripped her wrist, and Alex stared blankly up at her, the whites of her eyes completely gone; they were now just bottomless, emotionless pools of ebony.
"I’m so sorry." She whispered. "But I need you."
A pure, white light seemed to envelope Janice, smothering her. She stiffened as recent memories flashed through her mind, and then she groaned and slumped over the motionless, dead body of Doctor Alexis DuPaul, exhausted.
***
What Came Before…
"Excuse Me?"
The receptionist looked up from her typing. She had a gold nameplate on the counter that read: Janice Hamilton.
"Yes? Can I help you?"
Alexis DePaul spoke into the microphone centered in the glass window.
"I’m here to see Doctor Black?" She unclipped the temporary security badge from the pocket of her navy blazer and held it for the receptionist to see. "We have an appointment."
"Oh. Excellent."
The receptionist peered over the bifocals that perched on the tip of her nose and graced Alex with a brief smile. She shuffled paperwork into a manila file folder and stood, indicating a heavy wood door to the left of the glassed window.
"You’re right on time, doctor. Just through here. Let me buzz you in. Doctor Black and Detective McGurry are expecting you."
"Thank you."
The receptionist pressed a buzzer and Alex stepped through the doorway into a dingy hallway smelling faintly of antiseptic. The door was heavy, a wood veneer over reinforced steel. Heavy enough that Alex had to tug hard to pull it open.
A subtle warning, Alex mused. Even with the office facade, behind all the niceties; you can never forget this may as well be a prison.
A bored, overweight guard scanned her badge and admitted Alex into the administrative wing of the hospital with a curt nod. The receptionist gave Alex a cursory once-over and motioned her to follow.
"This way, please."
The receptionist turned on a heel and led Alex past rows of offices, her eyeglasses now hanging from a chain around her neck, bouncing gently on her bosom.
Alex felt the guard’s eyes on her, following her all the way down the hall. She did her best to ignore the feeling, Out of habit, she carefully studied her surroundings.
Not much to see, really; the carpet was a bland industrial grey, and harsh florescent lights buzzed overhead. A few generic pictures of lush green forests and babbling brooks failed to brighten the drab walls. The office doors were basically the same heavy security door as at the front entrance, and all the windows were of frosted, unbreakable glass; heavy wire mesh zigzagged through the double layers.
Absently, she wondered how anyone could work in this atmosphere and stay sane.
"Nice place." Alex failed to keep the sarcasm out of her voice.
The receptionist paused at an open door and stepped aside. "Here we are."
Alex nodded her thanks and entered the room. The two men chatting intently in the room abruptly stood. A large, dumpy man Alex took to be Detective McGurry raked his eyes over her curves and ran a hand through his thinning hair; he gave her a cheesy grin and unconsciously straightened his cheap tie. The tall, reed thin man she recognized as Dr. Black cleared his throat and held out a hand.
"Ah, Dr. DePaul. So glad you could come. It’s a pleasure to see you again."
She gave them both her brightest smile. After a brief round of introductions they took turns shaking hands.
Black indicated a chair. "Please. Sit Down."
Alex slipped into the vacant chair, setting her thin leather briefcase in her lap and looked around the office.
The room was Spartan with few personal touches; the large mahogany desk was void of any clutter, other than an expensive fountain pen and a file folder centered on the desktop. A framed photograph hung on the wall. Alex recognized the picture: her ex-husband Steven shaking hands with Dr. Black.
The photo was snapped at a conference in Washington DC a few years previously, to accompany an article for a prominent medical journal. Both men played to the camera, stroking their egos and completely ignoring a younger, freshly married Alexis DuPaul, who looked to be trying her best to disappear into the background.
Alex sighed, trying to wipe away the memory. She wondered if Black had pulled the picture out just for this occasion.
"Well. So..." Dr. Black cleared his throat again and pried his eyes away from her chest. "Dr. DuPaul. Thank you for coming. I..."
"Please, call me Alex."
A light sheen of sweat broke out on McGurry’s forehead as Alex crossed her legs and smoothed her skirt over her the tops of her thighs. Alex casually flipped her hair back over her shoulder. The long, thick braid of curly, jet-black hair tickled the back of her neck.
"Of course. Doctor, my husband held your work in the highest regard. I came as soon as I received your message."
"How is Steven?"
"Fine, I assume." Alex cocked her head at an angle and arched her back, watching the men watch her. "Considering that we no longer speak."
"Oh." Black squirmed in his seat. His eyes snapped back up to hers. "Yes. I’m sorry, I did hear about the divorce. I..."
Still staring at her legs, McGurry blurted, "So, you Italian, or what?"
"Excuse me?" Alex turned in her chair to face the detective, who was scratching at the stubble on his thick neck.
"Well, you got a great tan, but not from one a’ those booths, an’ it’s been rainin’ like the end o’ days the last month here. Dark hair, brown eyes, dark complexion. You got a little accent. It’s soft, so I didn’t notice at first, an’ your face reminds me o’ all the broads I met in Italy when the wife an’ I went on vacation in Rome a couple years back. I figure you prob’ly took your hubbie’s name when ya got married." McGurry looked smug. "Well? How ‘bout it? Am I right?"
Black gaped open-mouthed, looking back and forth from McGurry to DePaul. Alex kept her face impassive.
"Impressive, Sherlock."
McGurry beamed.
"But not quite. I’m Greek, on my mothers’ side. I’ve been living in Europe the last few years, teaching forensic medicine and advanced psychology." She unbuttoned her suit blazer and leaned over, just-ever-so-slightly, giving McGurry a quick glimpse of her necklace, a small gold cross, dangling loosely under her blouse between some very impressive cleavage. She made a show of batting her eyes. "I moved after my divorce. DuPaul is my maiden name."
McGurry grinned, unruffled. "Hey, I was pretty close."
"Sure you were."
"Got’cha ta tell me what I wanted to know, didn’t I?"
His grin spread wider. Alex snorted with disgust and glared at Black.
"I hope you had a valid reason for requesting my assistance." All business now. "I can’t imagine that you wasted taxpayer’s money bringing me here just so the two of you could ogle my tits and douse me with this peculiar flattery."
Black blushed at the accusation, but the detective just sat back and stroked his chin, watching and grinning like the proverbial cat that ate the canary.
"My apologies." Black cleared his throat and raised an eyebrow at the file. "You received my fax? She nodded. "Good. First impressions?"
"Well," she began. "I’ve seen the news footage, of course. Terrible. I understand there’s still no suspects?"
"Toots," McGurry grunted, "there’s a whole lot more to this situation than the media knows."
Not quite the answer she hoped for. "With an investigation of this magnitude, that would be expected. But what, exactly, can I do for you?"
The two men exchanged a sharp look, and McGurry shrugged.
"Sooner or later she’s gonna have to know what she’s gettin’ into. Let’s not waste any more time; the Feds have already cleared her."
"You should look at this." Black pushed the thick file across his desk. "Reports on the investigation, by both local and federal authorities. And my own initial analysis on the situation."
Alex took it, opened the file, flipped through. She read for a moment, glanced at crime scene photos, the first a picture of what looked like a terrorist bombing. The photo grabbed her attention, and she studied it intently.
"Satellite photo." Black pushed his tiny round spectacles back to the bridge of his nose. "The information that has been released to the media came from that file."
"What happened here?"
McGurry scratched his jaw and glanced over at Black, who nodded back. "Go ahead."
"Okay," McGurry pointed at the file with his pinkie. Gold and diamond flashed on his finger. "This is the deal. The crater you’re gawkin’ at? A month ago, that was a run-down warehouse district located out by the waterfront. Scumville, USA. Lots’a drug activity, prostitution and whatnot. Not a fun neighborhood for honest folk. You get me?"
Alex nodded. McGurry shifted his weight, and the flimsy chair beneath him groaned in protest.
"At midnight on the first of the month, police dispatch took a phone call from an officer on scene. He was drivin’ his beat, and a half-naked woman covered in blood runs screamin’ outta this here theater…," he reached across to the file and flipped through the set of photos, until he found a picture of an old, recently renovated movie theater, then continued. "...an’ collapses right in front of his cruiser. He calls it in an’ stops to help her."
"All right."
"Mind you, the only reason we know all this, ‘cause the officer left his two way radio on and transmitting."
"Okay."
"The woman’s outta her mind, screamin’ some crazy horseshit about bugs. Huge fuckin’ bugs. She’s just babbling, talkin’ about nothin’ that makes any sense. We figure she was higher’n a kite. We can get you a copy a’ the tape, you want."
"If you think it’s necessary." Alex shrugged. "Were you able to identify her?"
"Nope."
"Go on."
"’Kay. Anywhoo, officer Meyer, the first on the scene? He’s got the woman sittin’ in the back of his cruiser, covered with a blanket. He’s tryin’ to calm her down, when backup arrives; a pair of patrol officers. She’s still goin’ on an’ on, talkin’ how all these folks were getting kilt inside. Ripped apart by the bugs, she said. So Meyer gives the backup officers the lowdown, an’ they head into the theater ta check it out."
McGurry leaned back into his chair, tipping it backwards onto two legs, and folded his hands behind his head. He relaxed, savoring the moment. Alex exchanged a blank look with Dr. Black.
"Well? What did they find?"
"See, now, that’s the thing. We don’t really know."
"I don’t understand."
"We’ve had to kind’a piece this scenario together with the help of the Feds."
McGurry stood abruptly and paced in a little circle while he spoke. He stopped and stared out the window, collecting his thoughts.
"See, apparently, there was some kinda big ta’doo goin’ on at the theater, a black tie sort’a shin-dig. The guests wore masks, costumes. Completely anonymous. Nobody was supposed to know who anybody else was.
He hawked and swallowed, then continued.
"The theater was owned by a big-time local scumbag named Melvin Sputka." McGurry snorted. "The name’s an alias. Total horseshit. Nobody knows what the fuck his real name is, where he comes from, nothin’. No background on him at all. One day, he’s not even a blip on the radar, and the next, he’s...." McGurry broke off and looked over at Alex. "Hell, he’s been under police and Federal surveillance for more’n a year, but we barely even have a handful of pictures of him, and those are iffy."
"Iffy?" Alex asked.
McGurry nodded absently. "Yeah. Blurry, like the exposure was fucked up on all of ‘em. We can’t explain it."
"Strange."
"Yeah. Strange." McGurry rubbed his forehead and continued. "We do know he was a heavy player in the local sex industry. He was manufacturing new designer drugs; running prostitutes, you name it. He owned a whole slew of sex shops that specialized in bondage and S&M shit. Now, about this fuckin’ party. Exclusive invitations were sent to a ton o’ the movers and shakers of our fine state. For some reason, lots of big wigs from around here showed up to cut loose an’ have a good ol’ time. Local celebrities and folks with big money, politicians, you name it. Partyin’ with the druggies and freaks."
"I suppose that’s odd," Alex closed the file. "But maybe they were just all slumming. Taking a walk on the wild side."
"They weren’t slummin’, sister; they’d all been bought and paid for."
Alex looked between the men. "What, bribes? Blackmail?"
"We don’t really know, for sure," interjected Black.
"Ol’ Melvin had somethin’ on ‘em, that’s the truth." McGurry grunted bitterly. "The Feds agree. Hell, the chief of police and his wife were there whoopin’ it up too, right alongside Lord knows who else. We didn’t learn about the party ‘till after the fact. This thing was kept real secret, and real quiet."
"Gentlemen, I’m sorry. This is very interesting, but I don’t see what I can add to the investigation that I’m sure Dr. Black hasn’t already..."
Black held up his hand, and said. "Please, Alex, let him finish."
McGurry grinned and sucked his teeth.
"Okay. We figure the next few minutes went down like this. Again, we just ain’t sure, ‘cause once the officers entered the building, communication went all to hell. You can barely hear ‘em on the tapes. The theater was dark inside the lobby. The only lights, only noise was coming from inside the theater itself, and a big ballroom off to the side." He paused and picked between his front teeth with a fingernail. "On the tapes, you can hear the officers whispering, getting into position."
"And then..."
"Then you can hear the screams."
"What?"
"Screams." McGurry closed his eyes. "Never heard anything like it." He rubbed the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger. "Then gunshots."
"And..."
"That’s it." He opened his eyes. "There was this weird clicking that drowned out everything but the screaming. Sounded like the officers got off maybe three, four rounds each before the radios went completely dead."
"The officers?"
McGurry shrugged.
Alex shook her head. "So, what did they find? What made them fire?"
McGurry glanced over at Black.
"We dunno. That’s why you’re here."
"I don’t understand."
McGurry leaned over again, close enough for Alex to get a whiff of stale cigar smoke and body odor. He unclipped one photo from the folder and held it in front of her face. He flicked at it with his finger.
"See that?"
"The bomb site?"
"Uh-huh." He grunted. "This is what’s left of that theater; ground zero. The buildings around the theater were completely wiped out in a perfect, expanding circle for more’n a three block radius. We guess it happened right when the party probably got into full swing."
McGurry scratched at his stubble.
"We dunno what those poor bastards found, ‘cause they ain’t around anymore ta tell us." He stood up and paced over to the office window and stared out into the parking lot. "Fuckin’ no one is."
Alex looked over at Black. "What caused the explosion?"
"No idea." McGurry. "Initially we thought there was a bad radiation leak from a bomb, maybe. We thought it might account for the radio interference. But no forensic evidence was found in the rubble to indicate any sort of explosive."
That took her aback. "You thought it was nuclear?" She considered the photo. "But there’s so little…I mean, wouldn’t a nuclear explosion have…have destroyed most of the city?
"Alex," Black perked up. "There was no radiation detected at or around the site."
"So…what caused this?"
The detective shrugged. "Damn good question."
Alex looked closer at the photo.
"What are these? Holes?"
"Tunnels. The area is riddled with them, all of ‘em leading to the docks or back into the hills. In the late eighteen, early nineteen-hundreds, the downtown area was used by maritime smugglers to move stolen goods, kidnapping victims, etc."
"Kidnappings?"
"Yup. White slavery ain’t just an urban myth. Back then, you could pull into town, check into a hotel, fall asleep, an’ the next thing you know, Bam!" He slapped the top of the desk, making the fountain pen bounce. "You wake up ta find yourself on a ship, drugged stupid and bound for Hong Kong."
"I still don’t see..."
Black steepled his fingers and rocked back in his chair. McGurry directed his answer towards the windows.
"So. The cops and the rescue crews arrived at the site within minutes of the blast. Federal agents were pretty quick after. The entire area was wiped almost clean, vaporized like something caught in a nuclear detonation. But how?"
He pondered his own question.
"Except for the damage you can see, we’ve got no evidence of any kind of a bomb, or even an explosion." McGurry swiveled his enormous head back towards Alex. He looked suddenly exhausted. "Basically, everything just went ‘poof’, an’ blew into dust."
"’Poof’?" Alex raised her eyebrows. Black didn’t seem to appreciate the sarcasm.
"Alex, we’re being serious."
"Right."
"Toots, this is what we have: three football fields worth of decimated real estate, dozens of bodies charred beyond recognition, millions of dollars in damage. We got all that. But we got no witnesses, no structural damage to any of the outlying buildings."
He took a long breath, letting it all sink in.
"Nothing."
"So…it was some sort of contained detonation?"
McGurry nodded. Alex studied him quietly for a moment.
"Terrorists?"
"Not that we can tell." Black again.
"There’s lot’sa cranks claiming responsibility. All bogus. Nothin’s panned out during the investigation."
"Strange. I would think some extremist group would have..." She pursed her lips. "But, now that I think about it, nothing’s been shown on the news."
"Nope."
"So you’re telling me you have no leads."
McGurry grinned. "Maybe. One."
"Alex," Black seemed uncomfortable. He cleared his throat. "There was a survivor."
"The woman? Or one of the officers? Were they out of range of..."
"No, not them. We found their remains."
"So, who?" She glanced again at the photo. "No one could have survived a detonation like this. They must have wandered in after the blast."
McGurry sat again. "That’s what the Feds want to think."
"But," Alex noted the tone in his voice. "You don’t."
Black shook his head, "No."
"Why."
"Because I’ve spoken to him. Briefly. He says he was there, for the entire thing." He turned to the detective. "McGurry?"
"Look at the very center of the bomb site picture." McGurry leaned over and jabbed his finger to the paper. "That was taken seconds after the dust settled, right before the first emergency crews arrived. There’s a small crater in the center of all the tunnels. Whaddaya see?"
Alex squinted. "I can’t tell. There’s something..."
"Here." He grabbed the folder and unclipped another photo. "I had it enlarged."
Alex inhaled sharply, and stared at the photo.
"This is real?"
"Yep."
The photo showed a tall, athletic man, completely naked and apparently unharmed, with smoke and bits of debris from the explosion still drifting around his muscular body. He was standing protectively over the naked, supine body of a woman; his body tense and his face twisted into a snarl. Alex found herself staring at the man, unable to avert her eyes. She felt her face flush.
"We found them just like that, ten, maybe fifteen minutes after the rescue teams were deployed. The crater they’re in is a good fifty feet below the street level. And," he flicked the edge of the photo for emphasis. "They’re standing dead in the epicenter."
He gave her a sideways look.
"Hung like a horse, ain’t he?"
Alex glared back, then asked, "The woman? Was she alive as well?"
"D.O.A., Black said. "She’d been torn apart internally, and hemorrhaged. She bled to death."
"Because of the explosion?"
"No." He shook his head. "She’d been sexually assaulted. The autopsy confirmed."
"By this man?"
"We don’t know. Because of the extent of the...damage, vaginally, the attacker must have used a large, blunt, spiked object. There was no semen found, no human DNA to prove one way or the other."
"Do you have an I.D.?"
"Yeah." McGurry nodded. "For both. His name is Matt Kennedy. He’s a local business owner, and a known associate of our friend Melvin the Creep. The woman was his former sister-in-law, Laura Cearley." He scratched his beard. "Her husband identified the body."
"And you interviewed him?"
"Yes. He was at work that night. His wife left their children with his mother to baby-sit, and told everybody she was going to the beach with some girlfriends for the weekend."
Alex felt a familiar, bitter emptiness deep in the pit of her stomach. She shook her head and tried to sweep away more bad memories of her marriage. It almost worked.
"They were having an affair."
"It looks that way. We talked to the two friends. Right away they both admitted they helped her cover when she had a couple other dates with her brother-in-law. Said it was getting’ pretty hot and heavy." McGurry gave Alex a wicked little grin. "Kinda sick and kinky, huh? What’s the word…incestuous?"
"My, my, Detective. Surprised? I would have thought that an officer as jaded as you would know by now." She raised her eyebrow. "Lots of people have affairs. Crazy, I know, but still, it happens all the time." She turned to Black. "So…she was his sister-in-law. What about his wife? Have you talked with her?"
"They’re divorced. She’s living back East with her new husband. She had no idea. Apparently, they don’t speak much."
Alex looked back down at the picture, and felt another warm tingle shoot up her spine. "And you’ve spoken with Kennedy?" She shifted uncomfortably in the chair, and had to pry her eyes off the photo.
"Yes." Black answered. "Twice. I interviewed him the first time just after he’d been taken into custody. We had a very strange conversation. Very fragmented."
"And then he clammed up." McGurry practically spit. "Wouldn’t say squat, until a few days ago."
Black nodded. "He was much more conversational, very forthright. He...admitted to causing the destruction."
"And he’s still here? In the hospital?"
"Yes." Black rocked in his leather chair. "He’s here."
McGurry muttered under his breath. "Sorta."
"What does that mean?"
"Alex, for all intents and purposes, he’s comatose." Black swiveled in his chair. "He’s become completely immobile and unresponsive."
"We canvassed his business. The guy owned several stores. We interviewed all of his neighbors and employees. We searched his house and found a whole bunch ‘o weird sex shit hidden away in his basement. This creep-o was livin’ with three women. Their names are in the file. According to some snoopy neighbor, one of ‘em, an older lady named Nancy, was pregnant."
McGurry paused.
"They’re all dead too."
Alex frowned. "Were they at this..."
"Nope. Their remains were found at Kennedy’s home. The coroner pins the time of death literally at the same time as the theater explosion." He puckered his lips, as if he’d bitten into something sour. "There wasn’t much left of ‘em."
"Murdered? Another explosion? Was this some sort of...mass suicide?"
Black shook his head. He cleared his throat and pushed his glasses back up his nose. "The autopsy indicates they were...eaten."
"Eaten." Alex echoed, incredulous. "What are you talking about?"
"Their bones were picked clean." McGurry grinned viciously, without any humor. "Gnawed on."
"By...what?"
"No clue." McGurry went back to scratching his neck. "But maybe you’ll be able to find out for us."
"How? I’m sorry." Alex shook her head. "But I how I can be of any help here if we cannot communicate with..."
"Alex," Black interrupted. "Listen. Just before he lapsed, Kennedy asked for you by name."
He paused to let the comment sink in, then stood and showed her the door.
"If you would follow me?"
***
Alex carried the case file and followed Black out of the office, McGurry bringing up the rear. Black led them to the high-security wing of the hospital, badging the three of them through several guard stations on the way to an observation room. Black nodded absently to the guards as they passed.
"Here we are."
Black swiped his cardkey through an electronic lock and ushered them into a plain, cramped room furnished with a small table and several chairs. A tall, nondescript man with short brown hair and dressed in a plain black suit stood silently at the door and watched them through dark sunglasses as they entered. Something about his gaze made Alex blush. His veritable twin stood motionless and just off to the side; ram-rod straight, his large hands clasped tightly behind his back, staring through a one-way mirror into a patient’s room. He didn’t bother to turn around when they entered.
"Doctor Black."
The deep voice barely carried to Alex’s ears. McGurry flopped down into one of the cheap plastic chairs.
"Agent Harris" Black nodded. "Johnson." The familiar gurgle of phlegm rattled in his throat. "This is Dr. Alex DePaul."
"Finally."
"Nice to meet you too." Alex held out her hand. "Always so cordial?"
Harris ground his teeth and ignored the handshake.
"This is not a time for levity, Ms. DuPaul. I assume Doctor Black and Detective McGurry briefed you?"
Alex took back her hand. "Yes."
"Good."
Agent Harris slowly turned away from the window towards Alex, and disdainfully sized her up. Unlike his partner, Harris’s sunglasses were folded neatly away in his jacket pocket. Still, his eyes looked black under the fluorescent light; Alex couldn’t read them.
"Doctor, you are here for one reason."
He held up his index finder, one hand still hidden behind his back. Even standing halfway across the room, Harris seemed to loom over Alex, dwarfing her. He used his low voice like a battering ram, forcing his point’s home with emphasis.
"Despite what the local police may believe," Harris wrinkled his nose, as if he smelled something that disagreed with him. McGurry grunted angrily from his seat, but quieted to a low grumble after a piercing glare from Harris. "The primary focus of this investigation is in regards to a terrorist bombing, for which we have virtually no leads, except possibly, one." He indicated the window behind him. "So. The sole purpose of your visit here is the very remote possibility that you may be able to procure even a kernel of information which may help us from the man in that room."
"Agent Harris, there’s no need to be hostile to…" Black tried to interrupt, but Harris cut him off with a look, then turned his black eyes back to Alex.
"You are the only person he has indicated that he will speak with; why, I have no idea. But while you are here, you are under my authority, and I absolutely do not have the patience for jokes, because we may soon lose this avenue as well."
He lifted a heavy arm and pointed at the one-way window. Everyone in the room turned to look.
Black touched her arm. "He’s dying Alex."
Alex took in the scene behind the mirrored window and quickly processed the information her eyes relayed to her. She nodded mutely.
Sequestered behind a clear plastic curtain to keep his environment sterile, the bed-ridden man in the other room barely resembled the man from the photo.
Instead of the virile, imposing figure in the picture of the bomb site, the man behind the mirror was gaunt and emaciated, his body painfully twisted and contorted; his face frozen in a howling grimace. Angry sores burst open on his blackened, rotting flesh and oozed greenish pus. Wispy, silver grey hair was plastered wetly to his pale face. An oxygen machine puffed air into his lungs, tubes and needles were taped into the veins in his arms, pumping him full of life-sustaining fluids. He was propped up in the hospital bed, staring vacantly back at them through bloodshot eyes.
An armed guard was stationed next to the entry. Alex imagined he had the same blank stare as the patient.
A tremor caused the man’s body to jerk uncontrollably, and for a moment, Alex seemed to lock eyes with him through the glass. The room spun around her, everything a blur except for his suddenly piercing eyes. She reached out to steady herself, groping for the back of a chair, the table; something solid. She blinked, and her surroundings settled back into their proper place. The patient’s eyes were wide and staring again, and feeling passed.
No one on her side of the wall seemed to have noticed, except McGurry, who was leaning back in his chair and stroking his whiskers, watching her intently. Perhaps he’s more perceptive than I thought.
She nodded to Harris. "Understood."
"Good." Harris scraped a plastic chair across the floor and settled down, then turned his glare towards Black. "Please show her to the patient, doctor. We don’t have time to waste."
***
Black paused outside the door to the room, and rested his hand on her shoulder.
"Alex, a word before we enter?"
"Of course."
"Obviously, this man’s dying. Like everything else about this, we don’t know why. He’s been through a battery of tests: blood work, CAT scans; everything. Results are completely normal. There’s no evidence of cancer, radiation poisoning, brain tumors, AIDS or anything else. He should be in perfect health. But he doesn’t eat, doesn’t sleep. He’s been in exactly that position since he last spoke to me, more than three days. He’s simply unresponsive, and his body is failing. He’s wasting away, and quickly."
He gurgled phlegm.
"We need information. Formost, about the disaster. What happened? Why? And secondly, McGurry is adamant about finding the person who murdered the women in this man’s home." He patted her shoulder, like she was a child. "You see?"
"And you think he’ll respond to me? Just because he knew my name?"
"He’ll no longer acknowledge me, or anyone else who tries to speak with him. Truthfully, I don’t expect much." Black looked sheepish. "But we don’t have much left to try."
Alex sighed. "Fine."
Black turned to the door. Quietly, over his shoulder, he muttered, "Be prepared. This has been as strange a case of multiple personalities as I’ve ever come across."
"What?" Alex raised her eyebrows. "You didn’t say anything about multiple..."
Black ignored her and swiped them inside. The humidity hit her first, like a wall of moist heat. Then the smell: sweet and sickly all at the same time, reminding Alex of a slaughterhouse she’d visited in grade school.
Rotting meat.
Alex gagged and almost vomited. Sour bile filled her mouth and she swallowed hard, forcing herself to maintain her composure. She sensed the guard was grinning at her; but when she looked his gaze was still blank and focused elsewhere.
Black took a seat by the door and waved her forward, towards the plastic curtain and the bed where Kennedy lay, propped up by pillows.
Alex noted the heavy restraints clamped tightly around his arms and legs. They seemed completely unnecessary at this point. She didn’t think the man could even raise his arm at this stage, but obviously the restraints and the guard were there for a good reason.
She considered the information she’d been made privy to, and the motives behind a federal investigation. She wondered again just what exactly they expected her to be able to accomplish here.
Multiple personalities. A man possibly involved in two unexplained, heinous crimes. A single suspect, dying alone in a prison psych-ward.
Alex knew she wasn’t getting the full story here. But why? They had to know more than this. Alex wondered what else she hadn’t been told. Why bring her here; to question a terrorist suspect? Or was this man something more?
She slipped into a white plastic chair set at the side of the bed and placed her briefcase on her lap.
"Mr. Kennedy? I’m Doctor DuPaul." Alex smiled tentatively. Always get to know the patient, first. Speech was therapeutic. Even if Kennedy was comatose, his faculties were still present. "My friends call me Alex."
His glassy eyes stayed trained on the mirrored window. Alex glanced over to see what he was seeing. Her reflection stared back.
The smell was overwhelming, distracting her. Alex folded her hands on top of her briefcase and waited, listening to the sound of the oxygen whooshing from the tank next to the bed, working up a list of questions in her mind, avenues to explore.
How do you get information from someone who is unable to respond?
Alex shot an annoyed look over her shoulder, but turned back to the man. Quietly, she asked, "Mr. Kennedy, you asked to see me. I was hoping you could tell me perhaps, why? Or how you knew of me..."
She waited.
Whoosh, went the oxygen tank. Whoosh.
Alex sighed.
Then the man turned and looked at her, right into her eyes. His head swiveled stiffly around on his neck, as if he was a wooden puppet being manipulated by an unseen hand.
And he smiled.
***
"Oh!" Alex jumped. "My God."
She was so startled she didn’t notice that her briefcase had dropped from her lap to the floor.
"Doctor." His voice was hoarse, rasping out from around straining vocal cords. It must have been intensely painful for the man to speak, but if so he gave no indication. "You’re looking absolutely beautiful today."
"Umn...thank you?"
"You’re welcome."
The bloodshot eyes moved slowly up and down her body. Alex felt almost naked under the probing, like cattle being appraised for sale. She tried to get herself back under control.
"I have a...few...questions?"
She turned halfway around in her chair. Black was watching her, sitting with a small, mysterious smile playing on his face, as if he’d expected this reaction. He waved for her to continue.
"I..." she began.
"You wanted to know why they brought you here, to me?"
Alex blinked, frustrated. Had this been some sort of ruse? Were they playing some sick game with her?
"Yes."
"Simple. There was a picture of you." The man gazed past her towards Black. "Hanging on his wall. I thought you were attractive, so I asked him about you."
She remembered the photo of Black and her ex-husband.
"Yes. I noticed it today myself. But..."
"I bet you were wondering why the picture was there, mmn?" The man’s face twisted, morphing into a eerie smile.
You read my mind
"The old coot thinks you’re a hot piece of tail, too. He likes to sit in his chair with his dick in his hand and masturbate over you in that hot little dress you were wearing."
The smile grew as Alex cleared her throat and shifted angrily. Behind her, Black just smiled serenely.
"You..."
He ignored her and changed the subject. "What is that you do, exactly?"
"I...I’m a psychologist. I teach...forensic theory."
"Theory."
"Yes." Alex’s attention was split, trying to understand how this waking corpse was suddenly animated, and grilling her on her background. "I’ve developed an approach to evaluating criminal psychosis that’s based on years of case work."
"And these..." The eyes drifted over to the mirrored window, then back to Black. His tone was mocking. "These…gentlemen have agreed to let you test your theories on me?"
"Well, yes. I suppose so."
"Huh." His attention snapped back to her. "Well. I guess you want to know what happened, then."
"Yes." Alex bent and retrieved her briefcase. She unzipped it and pulled out a small tape recorder. She pressed the record button and rested it on her knee. "Will you tell me?"
The smile grew.
"Only if you call me Matt."
"Matt."
The corpse giggled. "What do they know? What have they said to you?"
Alex told him, glancing at Black from time to time for confirmation.
"Show me the pictures?"
She looked at Black, who nodded. The man grinned at the pictures.
"Well, damn. Look at that. Fucked that shit up pretty good, huh?"
"The police think you’re a terrorist."
"Terrorist?" The man laughed. "Stupid assholes. That was just one hell of a party that got a little out of hand."
"A party." Alex repeated.
"Sure. You know. A fundraiser. You’ve probably been to one or two yourself. A few hundred costumed friends, over for some cocktails and a fine meal. A little dancing, maybe a speech or a short video segment, and more drinks afterwards. Like that. Well, this party was a little different."
"How?"
"Well, for one thing, all the food and drinks were drugged."
"Why?"
"For the orgy, of course."
"The orgy."
The man nodded, his head jerking up and down happily. Alex thought it might pop off his neck, roll down his chest and bounce onto the floor like a rubber ball.
"Oh, yeah." He smiled conspiratorially. "There’s really nothing like watching your friendly state congressman bend his old bitch of a wife over a the back of a theater seat, strap her in, and then let some other guy shove his dick in her mouth while he rips up her ass." He paused, thinking. "Crazy. But you know, these conservative lawmakers and such are wound up pretty tight. You have to loosen them up a bit first. So, therefore, the drugs."
"What did you drug them with?"
"New drug. Synthesized, originally developed here in town. Called Pin."
"I’ve heard of it." Alex nodded. "It’s the new big thing for..."
"Recreational sex. Yeah. You can ingest it, shoot it, or snort it. But the stuff being used out on the street is extremely diluted down from the base drug. Pure, it’ll knock even the most prissy bitch flat onto her back with her legs spread wide open. It’s addictive as hell, no way to stop using."
Alex thought of the news reports she’d seen on the drug, about the sudden, rampant use among European and American club-goers, prostitutes, and other high-risk groups. She was suddenly very frightened of what she was hearing.
"Who...who was there...?"
"Hell. Let’s see." He turned back to the mirror window. Alex could swear he directed his comment towards McGurry. "Susan Manning - she’s a state representative - she got most of our local politicians and their spouses to come." He turned back to Alex. "Susan was the first person to actually ingest Pin. We did it as a little experiment. She’s been a sex-slave for about a year now."
"A...sex slave?"
"Mm-hmm. That was part of m-m-Melvin’s big plan." Another tremor racked the man’s body. "Anyway, then there was police chief Stanton and his wife - a hot old biddy, by the way. Nice big tits. And..."
Alex listened to the man tick off names, recording them.
"And of course there was Angela, with some of her girls. Tammy and Candy. Cindy. I forget who else. Six or seven of them. Funny thing is, they were all pregnant. They looked really uncomfortable. M-m-Melvin was there, of course. And Laura."
Black leaned over and touched her arm at the mention of the name.
"Who’s Laura?"
The muscles in the man’s face rippled and his eyes clouded. He croaked, "My sister-in-law." Then he was grinning at her again. "And the usual goons."
"Goons?"
"Yeah. Ex-cons. A few convicted rapists, a murderer or two. The cops probably have a sheet on them a mile long. They were there as...security. I knew three of them, and Mm-mmmMelvin had a whole crew of his guys working."
Alex nodded. "So...what happened?"
"Well. Dinner was served after the guests arrived. After dessert, everyone was invited into the theater."

"Mm-m-Melvin had the orgy all planned out. He wanted to blackmail all these people. He needed enough dirt that they would turn a blind eye and let him do whatever he wanted, business-wise."
"So he drugged them…"
He nodded. "The drug only took a few minutes to kick in. So along with that and all the booze shloshing around, everybody got right into the swing of things. The seats in the theater were specially made with hand and ankle-cuffs. The men were ordered to bend their wives over the back of the seats, like I said, and lock them in."
"And...they all did this? Willingly?"
"Sure. Then they started fucking like bunnies."
"And you..."
The man’s face grew dark, and Alex shivered.
"I came with Laura."
"Your sister-in-law?"
"Yes."
"You were having an affair?"
"Yes." He grinned.
"Did you participate in the...orgy."
"Nooo..." He doubled over in a fit of muscle spasms. The man’s eyes closed, and stayed shut until the tremors ended.
He’s insane
"I...our food was supposed to be clean." He looked back up, spittle drooling down the side of his mouth. "But it wasn’t. It was drugged, too. Angela..."
"Who is Angela."
"She was one of Melvin’s...she..."
Twitch
"She what?"
"She was partly a he." Grin. "If you get my meaning."
Alex made a little ‘o’ with her mouth.
He coughed, spit blood. Alex tried to get Black’s attention, to get the man some medical aid, but Black ignored her, prodded her shoulder with a finger to continue.
"Pin. Do you know what it does?"
"No." Alex said. "Not really."
"It causes imprinting on your sexual partner and provokes an overpowering urge to copulate, among other things." Alex looked at him quizzically. "That means that the first person you have sex with is bound to you, physically and mentally. The drug was engineered that way. Do you understand?"
"I suppose."
He nodded. "After dinner, Angela ‘borrowed’ me for a moment. Right when the drug started to hit my system. I should have noticed, but I left Laura with Melvin and some of his thugs, and a few minutes later, I passed out. I woke up naked, bent over and handcuffed to a table in another room. Angela was behind me, and she was fu...fucking me...oh, God-uhnn-rrrhhfff!"
The man screamed and bent over in pain. Alex jumped up, wanting to help, but both Black and the guard were there, pushing her back into her chair. They stood with their hands planted hard on her shoulders until the pain leaked out of the man’s face and he sat back, his eyes clenched tight, panting.
"I couldn’t do anything to stop it. I could feel the drug taking hold. Angela fucked me, slapping my ass, raking her nails down my back, until she came. She screamed and collapsed on me."
They were all quiet for a long moment. Alex listened to his labored breathing.
"Um. Mr. Kennedy? Matt...I..."
Black, still hovering next to her, shushed her. "Alex, let him talk." Then to the man. "How did you get away? What caused the explosion?"
"There wasn’t a fucking explosion, you dipshit."
Alex looked up curiously. Black was sweating profusely, staring intently. "What happened afterwards, Matt?" He whispered. "What happened then?"
***
It wasn’t just the drugs, Matt thought to himself, remembering. Angela tricked me.
During the dinner, Melvin kept me distracted enough for Angela to snare two of my crew with her power. Roscoe and Manny. And I never even suspected.
Melvin had me drugged. He helped Angela plan the whole thing. I know that now. And, more importantly, I know why. The drug weakened me enough for Angela to try something she never would’ve been strong enough to do otherwise.
She turned her power on me. She caught me. She was ready to make me disappear, but she wanted to fuck me first. To prove to Melvin that she was still his golden child. For power. Because it turned her on.
And once that happened, with me out of the way, Melvin had all the time he needed.
He wanted Laura for his own.
But they made a mistake. Angela didn’t make sure to hook the last person there that I trusted.
Homer was a Vietnam vet. And a burn victim. Napalm. Massive trauma. The scarring was so bad, his features so gruesome, it was difficult to look him in the eye. The flesh on his face and neck had mostly melted away, leaving thick bands of melted pink and white scar tissue. The digits on his hands and feet had fused together.
He was a loner, even among our group of freaks.
That evening, he followed his usual pattern, and stayed away from the rest of us, by himself, checking to make sure security was tight.
He didn’t eat, or drink. Anything.
The orgy was just beginning when I disappeared. Melvin was on stage at the theater exhorting the crowd. Laura was locked in Melvin’s arm, pinned against his side, looking dazed and confused. Homer noticed that I’d been absent for longer than seemed right, and he figured something was wrong.
So he went looking for me.
After the drugs began to take effect, Angela had Roscoe and Manny drag me down into the tunnels, into part of Melvin’s secret little empire called The Maze. Angela had set up a room for the two of us, so she could have her fun privately.
They stripped me and tied me down. I was too far gone to fight.
Angela took her time, enjoying herself. Even drugged, the experience was painfully unpleasant. Some might say it was karma; what comes around, goes around.
When she finished, Angela fell on top of me, laughing.
That’s when Homer joined the party.
I don’t know exactly how he found us, but he stormed into the room and went straight for Angela, pulling a hunting knife he carried slung at his hip.
"Fucking tranny whore...I’m gonna gut you and make you swallow your own dick..."
Angela jumped off me and stumbled. She landed on her ass on the floor and scuttled backwards, crab-like, her flaccid penis flopping between her legs. The sight of the hideous man brandishing a wicked, foot long blade in front of her face terrorized her enough she didn’t think of using her power, or Homer wouldn’t have had a chance.
Instead, she screamed for Roscoe and Manny to help.
Roscoe was closest. He pulled a blade of his own and ran blindly at Homer with his head down, swiping the knife at Homer’s stomach. They crashed together and smashed into the table. Homer wrapped an arm around Roscoe’s neck and stabbed him hilt deep in the back. Again, and again.
Roscoe screamed.
So did Angela.
She twisted and squirmed and clawed desperately at her back, her eyes wide with pain. Roscoe dropped to the floor, twitching and spurting blood. Manny lumbered around the table and reached for Homer with his huge hands. Manny liked to strangle women for sexual gratification, and he was as big and strong as a bull. Big enough to snap Homer in two, if he was able to catch him.
Homer stepped back and swiped his blade, cutting deep into Manny’s hand.
Manny howled and clutched at bloody stumps, his severed fingers plopping into a pool of Roscoe’s blood. He fell to his knees, sobbing like a child and trying to stop the blood spurting from his ruined hand.
Homer didn’t even pause to check the results; he simply turned and lunged at Angela.
"Nooo!" She threw out her hand, trying to ward him off. "Stop!"
Homer’s body locked up instantly, but his momentum carried him right into her. Angela screamed again, shrill and piercing, and they slammed into the wall. There was a sickening, loud crack as Angela’s head angled into the ragged stone wall. Her eyes flew wide with suprise, and they fell together in a heap.
I felt her presence in my mind slip away.
Angela didn’t move; her head hung limply at an impossible angle, but her eyes swiveled, following Homer as he stood.
She begged. "Please, don’t..."
He knotted his hand in her long, red hair and yanked her head back. Bloody spittle frothed from her mouth, more blood clotted the back of her hair.
"Fuck you." Homer snarled.
Angela grinned.
"You’re a fool." She spat, her voice rasping. "And you’re all dead."
Angela’s eyes rolled back in her head and filmed over with oily black clouds. Impossibly, even with Homer’s knife at her throat, her body broken and bleeding, she began to stand.
"Jesus Christ."
She groped blindly for his wrist.
"Dead, dead, dead..." she chanted.
Homer drew back his arm, and his knife ripped through her neck.
Angela laughed, a awful sound like metal tearing, and her slender fingers closed on his wrist.
"All dead. Dead, dead..."
She squeezed, and bones cracked. Homer screamed as Angela crushed his wrist, and then she casually tossed him completely across the room. He hit the far wall and fell to the floor with a dull thud. His knife skittered across the floor.
Angela advanced on him, shuffling from one foot to another, jerking her body forward. Blood pumped from the gash across her neck, drenching her chest and spattering shiny droplets onto the floor.
"I’m daddy’s favorite, and you’re all dead..."
She stretched a hand towards Homer. I felt the familiar static tingle, and the air around her hissed as she gathered her power.
"Shit..." Homer groaned. "Matt..."
I tried to think, tried to focus. My system was racing, trying to burn out the remains of the drug pumping around in my body. I was still too groggy. I shook my head, trying to clear it, and struggled against the ropes binding me to the table.
Angela cupped Homer’s chin and forced him to look up at her grinning face. She laughed and dug her fingers into his eyes, smiling serenely with her gore-smeared lips.
And then I heard Manny, moaning on the floor. Vaguely, I realized that if he was feeling pain, expressing it, Angela was no longer controlling him.
I closed my eyes and let the dark thing inside me well up. I might not have been strong enough to fight Angela yet, but taking control of Manny’s mind was as simple as breathing. I slipped into his body like a whisper. He was in shock, but the pain from his hand was numbing.
Blotting out the pain from my own mind, I forced Manny to stand and lumber the few steps to where Angela stood, crouched over Homer’s shaking body. She was eating him alive; ripping at his flesh, gnawing away the soft skin of his face with sharp little teeth.
I made Manny lock his enormous arm around her slim neck and twist. Bones snapped. Manny let go, and Angela slumped to the floor, twitching.
"Dead, dead..."
We stared, thunderstruck. Angela’s head was snapped halfway around, bent at an awful angle. The gash in her throat had bled out, but she still gathered herself and stood, swaying.
And she began to change.
Her soft flesh blackened and peeled away from the wound in her neck. She smiled and licked at bloody lips with an impossibly long tongue, and she reached for me, her eyes pools of black, and she croaked out my name.
"Maaatt...bro-therrrr…come to me...kiss...meeee..."
She stumbled towards me, clawing for me.
I forced Manny to step behind her, forced him to grip her head tightly in his hands. Manny roared with the pain shooting up his arm.
And then he ripped Angela’s head from her shoulders. He dropped the vile thing onto the floor.
Another, angry voice whispered in my head as she died.
***
Alex closed her notebook and studied the man in front of her.
A moment ago, Matt stopped speaking and just floated off, staring into space. Except for the sound of the machines keeping him alive, the room became silent as a tomb.
"Well," Black cleared his throat and stood. "I suppose that’s the best we can hope for. I…"
Alex opened her mouth to respond, wanting more time. Something in her gut told her they weren’t finished, but Black was already walking to the door. She grabbed at his arm, to ask him to wait.
Matt screamed.
And then he flatlined, and collapsed back into the bed.
***
I forced Manny to free me, and then I returned the favor. I let my power flow out of him and back into my body.
He groaned and slumped against the table, breathing hard. I did the same. The room was spinning. My numb wrists and ankles throbbed as the circulation returned. I closed my eyes again and tried to recover my equilibrium.
"Fuck, Matt..." Manny groaned. I helped him pull off his shirt and wrap his hand. "This hurts like hell." He squinted at the thing lying on the floor. "What the hell’s goin’ on here?"
I didn’t answer. I was too busy listening to the voice in my skull, taunting me.
"Stay here. I’ll bring help."
He took one look at the bodies strewn across the floor. "Fuck that."
I turned and left the room. Weak from blood loss, Manny shuffled after me, swearing under his breath, pleading with me to slow down and wait for him.
I ignored him.
I had to find Laura.
***
Alex pushed through the curtain and shouted for help. Matt was dying. She knew they may already be too late. Black shouted for her to stop, to wait. She ignored him and began CPR. She quickly checked Matt for breathing, for a pulse. She felt sweat begin to drip down her armpits as the adrenaline rush kicked in. Then Black was next to her, trying to help.
She vaguely heard the door open and heavy footfalls as more men entered and muttered to each other in low, concerned voices that never really reached her ears. Harris, speaking to the guard, and then McGurry, who loudly wondered what was happening. Someone picked up the phone and called for more help.
"Bring the motherfucker back!" McGurry was shouting. "We don’t have shit, Goddammit! This is all shit..."
The commotion faded into the background as Alex worked on Matt. She counted chest compressions while Black breathed for him. Black was out of breath in minutes, looking pale and ready to hyperventilate. Alex pushed him out of the way.
Clear the airway. Give two slow breaths, she told herself, remembering the litany. Check for breathing and a pulse. Then begin the compressions. One-one thousand, two-one thousand…
By the time the medical staff crowded the small room, she was soaked to the skin with sweat. She felt it drip between her breasts and down her back, trickling down her ass cheeks. A medic tore open Matt’s hospital gown, and shouted:
"Clear!"
Alex moved back. The medic placed two pads carefully on the pale, skeletal chest. There was a low whine as the defribulator charged, and then a thump. Matt’s body convulsed as the medic sent a wave of electricity through him. The monitor line stayed flat.
"Again!" Black, shouting instructions.
"Clear!"
Another shock. And this time, the slow, steady beat rhythm of a heartbeat. Weak, but steady.
Alex sighed with relief.
***
"Matt?"
The woman’s voice was soft, and pleasant. Not at all like the other voice echoing in his head.
"Are you all right?"
The other, evil voice faded away. My eyes focused slowly. Shapes swam in front of me. I felt as if I was waking from a long, hard sleep. A sharp pain in my chest made it difficult to breathe. Broken ribs, probably.
"Laura?" I asked.
"No, Matt."
The face floating in front of me became solid. An attractive young woman leaned over me, looking down at me. She seemed concerned. She was beautiful; dark and exotic. Sweat plastered a few strands of long, kinky-curly black hair to her forehead. The smell of her perfume washed over me. I closed my eyes and breathed her in.
But she wasn’t Laura. I looked around, tried to get my bearings.
"We thought we lost you."
"Where’s Laura."
"She’s not here." Her voice quieted. "She died, Matt."
She touched my hand, and a pit opened deep in my stomach.
"You were telling us how it happened, a moment ago."
"Who are you?" It hurt to speak.
"Don’t you remember?"
I shook my head. The act sent a jolt of pain down my back.
"The gentleman peering over my shoulder is Dr. Black. He’s the director of this facility. My name is Dr. Alex DePaul."
"We just saved your life, Mr. Kennedy."
I looked at the old man behind her. He was weak. Dying. He coughed and cleared his throat. I could feel the cancer, eating away at him. He didn’t have long to live.
The other voice laughed in my head. And suddenly, I remembered.
***
Matt struggled to sit back up. Alex placed her hands on his shoulders, stilled him. By all rights, he should be dead. She realized that it was a miracle they were able to bring him back. More questions tumbled through her mind than she had answers for.
How is he alive? Where is he getting his strength?
"Don’t," she warned. "Rest now."
He folded back into the pillows. Under her hands, his body felt brittle and almost without substance. Like he could just drift away. And he was fading fast. The pulse on the heart monitor was already slowing.
"It’s all right, you’ll be fine," she heard herself saying.
He was staring at her. She thought she saw pity in his eyes.
Something’s different, she noticed. In his face, his bearing. Everything. This isn’t the same person I was just talking to a moment ago."You shouldn’t be here," he whispered. His voice was so soft, Alex had to bend and lay her ear next to his lips. "You need to leave. Right now."
"No. I want to stay with you. I…"
Matt shook his head weakly from side to side. Alex felt the presence of McGurry and the others behind them, standing by the door. Only Black stayed close, just by her shoulder.
"Go. Please…"
"Why?"
"Be-because…"
"Why Matt? What’s wrong?"
He gripped her arm with surprising strength. Alex barely had time to wonder how he’d come free of his restraints before he answered.
"He wants you. He brought you here."
Alex bent closer.
"Who, Matt? Who are you talking about?"
"I tried…tried to stop him. Thought I could…keep him inside, but c-can’t, no strength left. I can’t fight him anymore."
"For God’s sake, Alex." Black touched her shoulder. "What’s he saying?"
She waved him away. Matt’s grip on her arm was failing, his breath becoming shallow and weak.
"Leave," he croaked. "Now…"
His hand fell away, and Matt’s body slowly relaxed. Alex cringed when Black patted her shoulder. The heart monitor leveled off to a low whining beep.
"He’s gone."
Alex reached to close the corpse’s eyes, but pulled her hand away, startled.
"What the…" She heard Black whisper.
The whites of Matt’s eyes filmed over, turning a liquid, oily black. The muscles of his face twitched, contorting into a wicked grin.
The heart monitor still showed no sign of life.
Alex recoiled in horror as the corpse pushed out of the bed and stood. She heard herself screaming. The corpse lurched forward, pulling needles from its arms with claw-like hands. It shambled ahead and grabbed at Black’s shirt and pulled the terrified doctor close.
The corpse kissed him.
"Holy shit…!" McGurry blurted. He reached the struggling pair, tried to wedge his body between them. "Let go, motherfucker!"
The air in the room crackled with energy, like the calm before a lightning storm. McGurry finally separated the two, pushing them in opposite directions.
The walking corpse fell to the floor, mewling like a kitten.
Black took a blind step backwards towards the government agents and the guard. His eyes were squeezed shut, and he clutched his neck, gagging. He fell heavily. Alex watched the guard catch him, his hands locking around Black’s chest.
Then Black opened his eyes, and grinned. Oily black clouds swirled endlessly in round, gaping sockets.
McGurry was kneeling by the corpse, rolling it over onto its back. He didn’t notice the corpse’s pale blue eyes, pleading with him. Instead, he glanced up at Alex’s new screams, in time to see Black turn to the guard. The hair on his arms stood on end for a second, and the air in the room smelled suddenly of ozone.
"Hey…Black…"
Black didn’t answer. He fell to the floor, clutching his chest, moaning. Then the guard was grinning at him and pulling a gun. The agents just stood quietly away from the action, their faces impassive; their eyes hidden and unreadable behind their sunglasses.
As if nothing out of the ordinary was happening.
McGurry swore but his training took over; instincts making him reach for his own weapon, only to find his shoulder holster empty. Instantly, McGurry remembered that he’d had to surrender his weapon upon entry, for security reasons.
And in the blink of an eye, it was too late.
Two shots rang out; two bullets ripped the life from him. McGurry’s lifeless body fell at the guards feet. The guard pulled the trigger twice again, and Black slumped in a spreading pool of blood.
Then the agents turned to Alex.
She backed into the wall, and the guard advanced on her. She watching the oily black currents in his eyes slowly fade back to a dull, dark brown. The grin on his face stayed the same. The same grin Matt had shown her when she introduced herself. The same grin that had been on Black’s face after the walking corpse fell away from him.
"Alex, Alex," the guard grinned and touched her hair. "So beautiful."
The two agents stood on either side of her now. They grabbed her arms and pinned her up against the wall.
Alex struggled.
"Let me go."
The guard pistol-whipped her face for her trouble, rocking her head back.
"I’ve waited an entire month for you, bitch."
The guard ran the barrel of the pistol down her bleeding cheek, pushing the hot tip of the gun up under her chin as he crowded in against her.
"God-damn if it didn’t take too fucking long to wear that body down."
"No, please," She begged. "Stay away from me."
The metal burned, sizzling against the soft flesh of her neck, while he used his free hand to rip open her blouse and grope her breasts. He squeezed them until Alex sobbed with the pain.
"Yeah. Sure. Heh." The guard licked his lips, wetting them with an obscenely long tongue. "Nice titties, bitch. Nice and big and firm." Grinning, the guard nodded, apparently satisfied with his inspection of her body. "C’mon. Let’s fuck."
Instantly the agents pulled her from the wall and threw her face-first down onto the bed. The three big men fell on her.
Alex struggled, but the agents knelt on her outstretched forearms with their knees, using their weight to pin her down. She felt hands move over her ass, and then her skirt was torn away and her stockings and panties were roughly pulled down past her knees. Her legs were pried open, and she heard the sound of a belt being undone, pants being unzipped.
"Oh, God. No. Please…"
Her face was shoved into the bed’s moist, pus-covered sheets. She screamed as the guard rammed his cock into her pussy. He wound her braid in his rough hands and yanked her head back, forcing her to arch her spine and giving him better access to her breasts, her cunt. He made her fuck him, using her hair like a rider uses the bridle of a horse.
"Nuh-uh-uh-noooo…"
He took her slowly, enjoying her pain, her fear. Letting her emotions feed him. Moments later, he climaxed hard, shooting thick ropes of burning, acid-like cum deep into her snatch. Then he was leaning over her, whispering in her ear.
"Matt tried to warn you just now, bitch," he cooed. "You didn’t listen. Thought the poor boy was nuts, didn’t you? Heh. Just like a stupid bitch."
He slapped her ass. She felt her butt cheeks sting and jiggle as he played with her. The cum dripping from her pussy burned like liquid fire.
"You know, he almost had me. Almost. A real chip off the old block, if I don’t say so myself. The boy just doesn’t know his own strength. He fucked me up pretty good, came this close to finishing the job. But he bit off more than he could chew, thinking he could screw with me."
"S-stop…"
"Why? You wanted the whole story, didn’t you?"
"Please stop…I…"
"The party, the orgy, all those guests? I never told Matt the real reason they were all there. Angie and I, we were bringing him along slow, taking it easy while we worked him into the gang. Angie knew the plan, of course. I always told my sweetie everything. She’d already worked her way through a few bodies, and was finally ready to breed too."
"Stop it, just stop. Leave me alone. Please…I…"
"Will you shut up and let me finish? Jesus. Angie liked to let me fuck her girls, knock ‘em up. She brought a few with her that were all ready to pop. She left ‘em with me at the orgy for the, uh, banquet. She dragged Matt down into the tunnels to play her little game with him in private."
He sighed heavily.
"Poor Angie. Always falling for the guys with the big dicks. She had such plans for Matt. I knew one day she’d fuck up. And boy, did she fuck up good with Matt. I knew exactly when he killed her. He twisted her head right off. POP! Just like that. Over and done."
The guard grinned down at the still, crumpled body on the floor.
"Bloodthirsty little arse, isn’t he? Well, like father, like son, they say."
"Please let me go..."
"Alex. Sweet, pretty Alex. I’ve had a whole month to sit around and fantasize about this, so I want to get you all nice and juicy, let my jizz burn into your sweet fucking guts.
He stopped slapping her butt and stretched out, lying on top of her. Alex felt his cock pressing against her asshole, slowly hardening. He ground against her and she cried softly; large, wet tears soaking into the bed. Alex grunted as the guard used his fingers to probe and stretch her ass. The two men pinning her arms never moved, never uttered a sound.
"Look at him."
He turned her over and forced her to stare at the body on the floor as he ripped into her ass from behind. The corpse blinked up at her.
"Damn fool still doesn’t know what hit him."
"Owww..." Alex whimpered and bit her lip bloody as his cock rammed deeper, tearing into her rectum.
"Oh, baby, that’s tight."
He reached around and hooked an arm around Alex’s neck, laughed as she gasped for breath. He nuzzled her neck and banged her hard and fast, grunting like a pig in time with his thrusts.
"See, it’s breeding time, baby. Matt fucked all that up after he found me dorking his sister-in-law. But hell, she wasn’t supposed to be there. He was supposed to bring one of the bitches he was living with, an old cooze named Nancy. I’d already knocked her up; she was ready to drop. But he left the damn cow at home! What was I gonna do?"
He glared at the body on the floor and rammed his cock into Alex for emphasis.
"So I fucked the big-titty bitch he brought. Damn, she had some huge jugs. Hot snatch too. She would’a looked great knocked up with my little guys squirming around in her guts."
He grinned at the thought. It pissed him off at the same time, so he slapped Alex’s ass until it was nice and red, then continued.
"Anyway, so Matt walks in on us with his big old ding-dong swinging in the breeze. Everybody’s fucking like bunnies, and he sees me pounding his bitch’s pussy. So he let’s me have it. Threw a goddamn hissy-fit and hit me with everything he had. The shit head ripped the skin right off my body. Hurt like hell."
Alex stared in shock. The body on the floor groaned and weakly scratched at the tile under its fingertips. The guard laughed.
"Yeah, you fuck. Damn it, I still had big plans for Melvin, and you just went and screwed that all up."
The body on the floor twitched, the pale eyes burning hatred.
"What’sa matter, Mattie-boy? Pissed off that you couldn’t save that pretty blonde cunt of yours?"
The guard laughed, and he buried his cock inside Alex. He wrapped a hand in her hair and yanked her head back.
"You didn’t even me time to finish cumming in that nice, big ass of hers before you tried to take me out. Barely had the chance to protect myself."
Oily black cataracts swirled in the guards’ eyes.
"That was damn frustrating Matt. Maybe I should take it out on this pretty bitch. Huh? Yes? Maybe? No? Hell, sounds good to me."
Fresh tears dripped down Alex’s face. She was breathing hard, trying to relax so her sphincter could accommodate the guard’s cock when suddenly hiss penis seemed to grow huge inside her. She felt it thicken, spreading her wider and wider, and it pushed further into her, until a sharp paid shot into her belly. She gasped with the pain, and he pulled her tight against him, closed his eyes and smiled happily.
Alex screamed as her anus suddenly ruptured.
"Ahh. Just like that."
He smacked her butt with his belly, making her ass-cheeks ripple. A gush of blood oozed out of her ass, dripping out around the base of his cock, and Alex screamed again. She jerked and bucked underneath him for a moment, then collapsed and went still.
"Mmm…yeah. That was perfect."
He pulled out of her with a slurping pop. His wet, bloody cock had turned a sickly, moldy, greenish-gray color and was swollen to the size of a baseball bat; its flesh covered with sharp, scaly spines. He wiped himself off on her silk blouse, ripping the thin material on the spikes and leaving a rust-colored smear of blood and shit down her back.
The guard pushed himself off the bed and pulled up his pants. He grinned wickedly, glancing around at the prone, bloody bodies. He stepped carefully over the crimson pool spreading from between Alex’s legs and squatted next to Matt, peering curiously down at his withered face.
"Don’t feel too bad, sonny." He patted Matt’s shoulder, almost gently. "You gave it your all. You were a fucking powerful sonofabitch, boy. I can’t even guess how strong you could’ve been. But I’ve been around a long fucking time, and we don’t die easily."
He sighed and stood, brushing off his uniform.
"Hell. Too bad everything had to end up like this. But it’s time for me to move on to bigger and better things. No more of this little pissant shit."
He nodded to the Agents, who moved to the door. The oily black pools swirling in the guard’s eyes cleared, and he blinked, rubbing at them with the backs of his knuckles. He pulled the automatic pistol from the holster at his waist.
"Painful, dying. Isn’t it?" He grinned. "Now you know how your sister felt, you little fuck." He grinned. "Well. Gotta run."
Across the room, the Agents nodded and pulled their own weapons. The guard rolled his massive shoulders and kicked Alexis DePaul’s broken body on his way out the door.
The first shots echoed through the halls just moments later.
***
Epilogue
"Mr. President?"
President Joseph Howard blinked at the secret service agent and tore his thoughts away from the dinner meeting he’d left mere moments ago.
"Yes…?"
The agent pushed in front of President Howard and pulled a heavy automatic pistol from his shoulder holster. A tinny voice squawked in the agents’ earpiece.
"We have a problem, sir."
Sincere concern resonated in the agents’ voice.
"Son? What’s going on?"
"I’m not sure." The agent began backing up, quickly, keeping the President behind him. "Phillips isn’t answering, another agent is down as well. The status reports I’m receiving are garbled. We need to get you to your office, sir, right now."
"What…what about my wife…and Clyde…"
After supper, Jocelyn had gone back to their bedroom to freshen up, and the Vice President, Clyde Jackson and his wife Camille were escorting the British Prime Minister and his wife back to their hotel for the evening.
"She’s fine sir. That’s confirmed. An agent is with her now."
The burly agent practically pulled the President along with him as they made their way back through the White House to the Oval Office. They paused outside the office for a moment, and the agent pressed the earpiece with his fingertip, trying to decipher a piece of information from the shouting voices blaring in his ear.
"Vice President Jackson has been located and notified, sir. He is on his way back as we speak."
The agent bulled through the outer office, past Clara’s tidy desk. The President was thankful that his secretary was safely at home. Something eerily similar to this had happened only a few months ago. That explained the agents’ concern.
Except that time, President Howard and his family had been out of the country, on a good-will trip through Europe and Asia, not safely tucked into the most heavily guarded home in the world.
"Is someone in the building?"
"I don’t know, sir."
"Is that possible?"
"Anything’s possible, sir."
The agent opened a door, cleared the room. Another agent, Coburn, was already inside, sunglasses on, even at nine o’clock at night, his weapon drawn. He waved them in.
The President stumbled to his desk and fell into his chair as his bodyguard closed and locked the office door.
"There," the agent turned to Coburn and holstered his weapon. "Now, what’s going on?"
That was all he managed. Coburn fired his weapon twice into his chest from point-blank range. The shot agent jerked backwards and fell in a heap by the wall, blood seeping into the thick royal blue carpet.
"See-ya, sonny."
Coburn shoved the dead man with his foot, rolling the body over onto its back. The President stared wide-eyed as Coburn leveled the smoking weapon at his forehead.
"Mr. President. Nice to finally meet you. I’ve been planning this for months."
Coburn flipped off the sunglasses and ground them into the floor as he stepped around to the President, who was frozen in the chair.
"What the hell…?"
The President stared at the agent in shock and fear, bewildered, watching as the whites of his eyes clouded over and turned an oily black. The agent grinned and his hand shot out, gripping the President’s face with claw-like fingers.
"Not yet, Mr. President."
The agent leaned over, his face inches away from the Presidents’ quivering flesh. His lips peeled back over rotting teeth, and a putrid stench filled the air as angry shouts filtered through the office walls. Someone began pounding on the doors, shouting to be let in.
"Hell isn’t here quite yet. But I promise, we’ll work on that. You see, I’m almost through with this body. I need a new one."
The agent pulled the President close, kicking and struggling.
"And who better to provide for me than you?"
The President was a strong man. An ex-Marine. A Vietnam vet. He fought for his life.
For a moment.
***
The Vice President and six secret service agents pounded at the locked door as more gunfire echoed from inside the Oval Office.
Seconds later, they burst through the door to find the President standing with a smoking weapon clutched in his hand, pointed at the body of an agent lying in a growing pool of blood on the floor. Vice President Jackson took the scene in at a glance, noting the other agent lying motionless across the room.
"Mr. President? Are you all right, sir?"
President Howard tossed the weapon onto the floor next to the body and turned toward the office windows. Vice President Jackson swore he was smiling.
"Fine."
The reflection hid the black pits of his eyes as he peered out of the window.
It’s been a long time since I last stood here
"Mr. President? Are you sure…"
"I’m just fine, Clyde." The President of the United States grinned. "Please send for my wife. I’d like to…see her. And I want all of you out of here. Now."
The Vice President nodded at the agents, who filed out of the room, letting the door shut behind them. The President turned from the windows and glared as Jackson bent and retrieved the pistol from the floor.
"That means you too, Clyde. I want to…be alone with my wife. Heh."
"What was that?" The Vice President asked, holding the pistol down at his side.
"What was what?"
"You just laughed."
The President’s head jerked to the side, just a fraction of an inch, and he frowned.
"I…did?"
"Mm-hmm. You did."
"Well, I…"
The Vice President raised the pistol and fired until the cartridge was empty. Blood and bits of flesh splattered onto the windows and dripped onto the walls.
"I know that laugh. Always hated that laugh."
He tossed the weapon away and walked over to the corpse by the wall. He stooped and pulled the agents weapon from the holster and cocked it as he walked back to President Howard’s body. He stood still, impassively watching what should’ve been a dead man squirm and kick.
"Dying hurts, doesn’t it Melvin? Oh, sorry. I mean, Mr. President."
Vice President Jackson smiled and pointed the gun.
"Here. Let me help put you out of your misery. We’ll get this over and done with before your wife gets here, and I have to console the poor thing."
Jackson’s smile faded, and his tan, handsome face turned cold and impassive.
"You know, Mel, you should’ve finished me when you had the chance. I won’t make that mistake again with you."
He emptied the pistol. Black clouds swirled in his eyes, and the torn, bloody thing at his feet sputtered and twitched as an electric charge snapped through the air. A dark, primordial energy rippled between the men. The President’s gurgling, dying screams faded as his body was engulfed in black fire.
The man who was once Matt Kennedy watched the flames slowly die out as the body was consumed.
And then there was one.
He sighed and sat down, letting his power build inside him. He enjoyed the familiar itch at the back of his skull, feeling the tiny hairs on his body tingle. He let it peak, and then flow out from him in spreading waves.
The last of the black flames had long since dwindled away when an armed agent knocked on the office door, and the President’s pretty wife stepped inside.
"Jocelyn."
Vice President Jackson let his power saturate the woman in front of him, and he stood, taking her into his strong arms. She folded into him, crying silently.
"We need to talk."

Author’s note
This is it folks, the last chapter, the big finale,
I hope those of you that have been following the series from my first feeble attempts at short fiction have enjoyed the stories as they’ve evolved from what was going to be a simple rape fantasy scenario into something...more. This has been a crash course in creative writing. Hopefully I’ve improved a bit along the way.
If anyone would like to continue Matt’s adventures, or explore some of the other characters’ unwritten stories, please feel free. And please, if you do, drop me a line and let me know - I’d love to read them, and to see this become an ongoing, expanding series, with contributions from all of you out there who may be willing to accept the challenge.
By the way, I don’t know if anyone’s said it before, but thanks to the good folks at
Anyway, here’s to one last proofread, then I’m off to new stories. Thanks for reading.
:The End. I’ve come to the close of the Meter Reader saga featuring Matt and his Cronies. Sexstoriespost.com, for allowing us all to publish our twisted little ditties.

. The President smiled to himself and thought: The view hasn’t changed much over the last hundred years. …., Alex thought. And he seems...proud of this.. The muscles in Kennedy’s face began to spasm., she thought.Black cleared his throat from behind her. He whispered, "Ask him why we brought you here.", she thought, and kissed her crucifix. I just need to go north. I can find a way out.…
That was how it started, basically, the day of her job interview. She looked a little nervous, which wasn’t too surprising, so I smiled, hoping that I looked both professional and comforting at the same time, and offered my hand.

="Times New Roman">“Hi Stephanie, I’m Devin, the store manager.â€Â
Her hand was soft and warm and slightly moist, but she smiled up at me and gave me a good, firm shake back.
“Nice to meet you.â€Â
I nodded my head towards the office, tucked away at the back of the video store, and said, “Why don’t we go have a seat?â€Â
“Okay.â€Â
“Hey, Lindsay!†I gave the girl at the counter, my assistant manager, a yell. “Buzz me if you need me. We’ll be about a half-hour.â€Â
“Sure, boss.â€Â
“After you…â€ÂI unlocked the office door and held it open, letting Stephanie go in before me. I gave her a quick appraisal, looking her up and down as she walked by me.
I thought she was kind of cute: short and plump, but in a nice, buxom way. She was dressed casually for the interview, wearing a pale blue fitted blouse that was slightly unbuttoned over a white, silky camisole, light khaki pants that were tight around her hips and a pair of old leather sandals. Her hair was dark brown, thick and glossy and cut short so that the tips curled around and under her ears. She had a sweet, heart-shaped face with prominent, rosy cheeks and a pointed chin, and she wore a little too much makeup for my taste. She had a tendency to peek up with her doe-like eyes when she smiled, making her look a bit like a chubby, mischievous pixie, but the silver crucifix dangling in the deep cleft between her breasts distracted me from that little blemish.
“Welcome to my closet.†I cleared my throat, pried my eyes away from her chest and pointed to a chair. “Have a seat.â€Â
She sat down and crossed her legs, immediately comfortable. Maybe she wasn’t as nervous as I’d assumed. Either that, or my considerable boyish charm and good looks had really worked to loosen her up.
“Thanks,†she said.
Her pant legs slid up when she sat, giving me a tantalizing glimpse of her thick, tan, muscular calves. I settled down into my comfy leather chair just opposite her and pretended to search my desk for a pen. I gave her another smile.
“You’re welcome.â€Â
She made a quiet humming sound in her throat and absent-mindedly tugged her blouse down, smoothing it tight over her breasts. She glanced around the room, taking in the big cork bulletin board tacked full of comic strips, work schedules, inventory lists and what-not; piles of old sale invoices, movie magazines and late-lists spilling out of boxes on the floor around my cluttered desk. “You know, a closet might be bigger.â€Â
I actually laughed, and casually flipped through her job application. “Yeah, you might be right.â€Â
My office was tiny, with barely enough room for a desk set up along the back wall, a beat-up metal filing cabinet, and the two chairs we were sitting in. Another door opened into a small storage area with walls of shelves full of movie posters and display boxes. Beyond that was a dimly-lit back room where we kept the safe.
The store itself was shaped like a sideways L, with a large, open floor plan that the owners believed encouraged customer browsing. It was brightly lit with red neon signs, flashing lights and lots of televisions set up like tic-tac-toe boards – always turned on and blaring taped ads for the latest movies and games. In the back of the building there was another storage room, an employee break area and a small warehouse with a dingy bathroom for the staff (and the occasional customer emergency) that was always kept locked.
The adult movies – the porno’s – had a room all their own, with a closed-circuit video surveillance system to monitor the freaks. Lord knows how many idiots we’ve caught on tape jacking off in there.
“So, you want to work for a video store?†I asked.
“M-hm,†she nodded. “Trisha really likes it here. She said you needed someone to take her spot when she leaves.â€Â
Trisha was one of my better employees. She’d worked for me for a little over a year and was leaving for college soon. She’d recommended Stephanie to me. I knew they were friends from high school and swam together on the school swim team.
“I do. I remember when you dropped off your application,†I lied.
The only reason I knew I took her application is that Trisha asked me to. Without Trisha putting in a good word, Stephanie probably would’ve completely faded from my mind.
She beamed. “Really?â€Â
“Yeah. You bet.â€Â
Stephanie’s application indicated that she was a certified lifeguard and had worked the last couple years as a counselor and lifeguard at a Catholic summer camp. She also worked the counter at the camp store, selling the kids cold drinks, popcorn and candy, t-shirts and sweatshirts, that kind of thing. Not all that much different than what she’d be doing for me.
“So tell me about camp.â€Â
She took a deep breath. “Well…â€Â
I watched her while she talked, nodding, scribbling notes on her app, asking a quick question here and there. Normally – sexist as it sounds, I’d try to hire someone a little sexier than Stephanie, because the beautiful people tend to bring in the money. But basically, right now I just needed a warm body and wasn’t feeling too picky. If she could at least make change and carry on a half-way decent conversation, I was probably going to offer her a job.
For the fifty-six minutes we were in the office together, Stephanie showed me everything that a potential employer wants to see from a prospective employee.
I started working here in high-school, took over as assistant manager pretty quickly, and got promoted to running the store full-time after I started film school. It’s a relatively simple job and I make decent money doing basically nothing. I’m about ready to graduate now, and over the last few years I’ve had a lot of employees come through here. I’ve learned that most interviews are awful, some – a few – are better.
Most of my applicants are high school kids looking for an easy summer job or college kids needing some quick part time work. Rarely, someone I interview is really motivated to get a job. Frankly, Stephanie impressed me, and I warmed up to her pretty quickly. She was animated and lively, sharp and funny. She had a habit of blinking once or twice after each question, thinking before she answered.
I liked that.
She liked all kinds of movies and was already familiar with the store, which was great, telling me that Trisha made her help her close up the shop every weekend so she could get out and party earlier.
“Ah.†I said, and made a note of that to put in Trisha’s file. For safety, one of the cardinal rules was that only employees may be in the store before or after store hours. I don’t think Stephanie caught the slip.
Best of all, she was flexible. She still lived at home with her family and was starting school in the fall, part-time at a local community college, so her schedule was open, at least for now. As we wrapped the interview up, I made sure it was okay to call her references and her supervisor from camp, and asked her what size uniform shirt I should order, and what color would she prefer?
“Um, red, for sure. Small?â€Â
“Great. I’ve only got a few other people to talk to this afternoon. Hopefully I can call everyone back by tomorrow.â€Â
“Okay. Thanks for the interview!â€Â
She shook my hand again, and I grinned as she walked back through the store, absently wondering what she’d look like in a bathing suit. I heard her say goodbye to Lindsay, who was busy returning video games, and then the door chimed and she was gone. Lindsay grinned from across the room and gave me a big thumbs up.
“She’s a keeper, huh?†She shouted.
I shrugged.
“We’ll see.â€Â
“You snooze, you lose, boss-man. Hire her yesterday.â€Â
I laughed and started back to the office. “Opinion noted. Okay?â€Â
One of our regulars, an fifty-ish lady named Nancy, was herding her grandkids through the game section with a look of utter frustration plastered on her face. She was trying to get them to make a decision between renting some shoot-‘em-up and a racing game, and she was failing miserably.
Nancy was probably one of the first customers I’d made an effort to connect with when I became manager, although I’m not quite sure why.
Truthfully, I think I was a little smitten with her. She was married to an ex-cop who’d started flipping property after he retired, and now he was always gone, being (in her words) the real estate tycoon. Nancy used to be a nurse. She retired a few years ago to help her daughter take care of her grandkids (the little devils that were now screaming at each other and yanking all our game boxes off the rack. Lindsay looked at me and rolled her eyes. She hated those kids…).
Nancy kind of moped around with this sad-sack complex, that for some strange reason I found extremely sexy. So I made it a point to flirt with her whenever I could. It seemed to make her happy, at least for a minute or two, and once I got her talking, she was actually pretty interesting.
Besides, she had a pair of whopping big tits. I couldn’t resist.
I ignored the screaming demons making a mess out of my store and put on my best smile for her. “Hi, Nance.â€Â
She looked up and brightened immediately. Sometimes I wonder if she comes in now just to see me. She waved back, and then her grandkids started a nice, loud shoving match. Nancy rolled her eyes at me and I took the opportunity to slip back into my office.
Maybe I made her day a little brighter. Sometimes we all just need someone to say hi, let us know we mean something, even if it’s just a grin from some kid at the video store.
Anyway…
I shut the door and plopped back into my chair with a sigh. It was a little quieter in here with the door closed. I hoped Lindsay had a bottle of aspirin at the counter, and then waited for the other applicants to show up. Lindsay escorted the next one back a minute or two after I heard the demons leave.
By the time I kicked the last one out the door – a pale, zit-faced teenager who ignored most of my questions and couldn’t stop talking about his collection of obscure Japanese animation videos that he was busy burning to disc – one copy to watch, one to save, in case of fire or flood or some other cosmically ordained cataclysm – I was grumpy, tired and ready to grab some dinner and call it a night.
Lindsay gave me irritated looks from the counter as I walked them out. She stuck out her tongue and shook her head after each one left.
“Stephanie,†she said. “This is so you don’t forget.†She’d written the name on a sticky note paper, and stuck it to my forehead. “Hire. Her. Now.â€Â
One of our phone lines started ringing.
“Cut it out and answer the phone,†I grumbled.
It was supposed to sound threatening, but Lindsay just grinned and blew me a kiss. I stalked back into my office and peeled the note off my face, and then I just sat there for a bit, staring at my pile of applications and playing with the sticky paper with my fingertips.
Stephanie’s app was right there, at the top of the pile.
I cleaned up the junk on my desk and then called the main office, which had already closed for the day. I left a voice message for the office manager and ordered two small red polo shirts and a nametag for Stephanie.
Then it was time to go.
***
As I left work, I checked my voicemail on my cell phone on the way to my car, a red ’73 VW Superbeetle. A friend of mine named Desiree had left me a message, asking me to stop by when I got off work.
I’d met Desiree under somewhat, uh, kinky circumstances during my senior year of high-school, at a Halloween party thrown by one of my teachers, a transgender named Linda, who I had a brief affair with. Linda moved away to France later that summer, but for some strange reason Desiree and I became, um, well, friendly.
You can read into that whatever you’d like.
Anyway, I rolled back the sunroof and then drove over to her house. Desiree lived in one of the nicer areas of town, in an old Victorian-style house that she was busy fixing up herself. I think the house must’ve set her back more than I’d make in ten years at the video store. It had been confiscated in a drug bust, and when she bought it the whole thing looked ready to fall apart.
It looked pretty good now, I thought. Nicest house on the block.
I parked at the curb and locked the car, then trudged up a steep flight of steps to the front door and rang the bell. I heard a deep bong emanate from somewhere inside, and Desiree opened the door before I could put my arm down, shrieking my name in her husky voice.
“Devin!â€Â
She pinched my cheeks and crushed me to her chest, smothering me with her breasts.
“Baby! Come to momma and give me a kiss, baby. Mm…now, watch the lipstick. I just put it on.â€Â
She wiped a smear of bright red lipstick from my cheek with a fingertip. She held me at arms length and gave me a good once-over, batting her eyes and looking me up and down.
“Mm…Baby, you look good enough to eat. Come on in, honey, make yourself comfy. There’s someone here I want you to meet.â€Â
Desiree’s as beautiful as a large, black transsexual could be, and she’s about as flamboyant as they come. When I first met her at the Halloween party, she was decked out like a flapper from the roaring twenties. I’m a pretty big guy, but she’s taller than I am, around six-six, and she’s got a figure most female porn stars would die for.
She looked great today, with her long, kinky curly hair pulled back in a tight braid, and she was dressed conservatively in a black pinstriped pantsuit and a crème silk blouse buttoned up just to her breasts. She was wearing high-heeled pumps and was even taller than usual. She towered over me.
Desiree and my teacher, Linda, had met working as call girls back in college and hit it off. Desiree was still in the industry. Currently, she owned a sex club called Kings and Queens, and judging by her home, she seemed to be doing pretty well for herself.
“Hey, Swan!†She called out, pulling me down with her onto an over-stuffed, antique velvet sofa. “Company! Devin’s here!â€Â
“Coming!â€Â
She rested a big hand on my thigh and snuggled close enough for me to smell her perfume. A door that led into her kitchen swung open and shut, and Desiree smiled at me again as a tall, reed-thin guy dressed in sweats with a huge, nappy afro walked through the dining room, munching on a bunch of grapes.
Desiree gave my thigh a little squeeze, sending a warm, tingly jolt up to my crotch, and introduced us.
“Dev, this is my nephew, Swan.â€Â
Swan chewed his mouthful of grapes and acknowledged me with a sleepy nod. He sat and slouched down into the chair next to us, threw his leg over one of the chair arms.
“S’up.â€Â
“Hey,†I said, and nodded back, cool as he was. Two could play it like that.
“Swan just graduated from NYU. Didn’t you, sweetie?â€Â
“Yup.â€Â
I blinked. “Film school?â€Â
“Yup.â€Â
This time, I nodded appreciatively. “Wow.â€Â
“He’s going to be staying here for a couple months.†Desiree smiled. “I thought you two might like to get to know each other, since you’re both up and coming directors and what-not.â€Â
“Auntie says you into Zombie flicks, man.â€Â
I laughed. “Yeah. I am.â€Â
“Cool.†He grinned, showing a ton of white teeth, and nodded again. “Who and what.â€Â
It probably sounds crazy, but I knew what he was talking about. Desiree looked mystified.
“Romero. Night of the Living Dead.â€Â
“What the hell are you two talking about?â€Â
I grinned at Desiree. Swan and I both said, “Best movie ever.â€Â
He ate another mouthful of grapes. She shook her head.
“All right. Looks like you two already have a lot in common.†She patted my leg, gave me a kiss and stood up. “I’ve got to head to the club. I’ll see y’all later.â€Â
Desiree bent and kissed Swan.
“Bye, Auntie.â€Â
Desiree grabbed a small clutch and blew us both kisses, then she was gone.
“So. How you know my Auntie?â€Â
I wasn’t quite sure how to answer that.
“We, uh…â€Â
“You sleepin’ with her?â€Â
Hell.
“We…â€Â
“You know that she a he, right?â€Â
“Yeah…â€Â
“You cool with that?â€Â
“Sure.â€Â
He nodded. “Man, the rest o’ my fam’ly don’t even know. It’s the big secret, right?â€Â
“Oh?â€Â
“Yeah.†He scratched his nose. I could just feel the question coming. “So, straight up, man. You two gettin’ nasty?â€Â
“But…†I interrupted him and kept on going. “…we’ve never had sex. With each other, I mean. There was someone else who…â€Â
“Ah, yeah. I bet I know. Linda?â€Â
Surprise. A little lightbulb popped in my head.
“You know Linda?â€Â
He nodded. “Met her a couple times, when I was a kid. During holidays and shit, when I’d come out to visit Auntie. Always figured they were into some kinky shit.â€Â
“You don’t even know.â€Â
“Prob’ley right about that. Don’t know that I want to, either.†He waved his hand. “So, what is it you do?â€Â
I told him, about work and school.
“I’m just finishing my last short film. Then…I don’t really know what I’m gonna do. I thought about moving to L.A., but…†I shrugged.
“Yeah. Me too. Go be where the action is, an’ all.â€Â
“Yeah.â€Â
He finished his grapes, chewing thoughtfully.
“Thing is, you can make movies wherever these days. Just need the equipment an’ some folks to do the grunt stuff.â€Â
“Sure.â€Â
“I got my own cameras.†He pointed upstairs. “Brought ‘em with me. Some nice digital. Looks as good as film up on screen.â€Â
“I’ve been using a digital camera too.â€Â
“Cool.†He sat up. “When Auntie told me ‘bout y’all, I got this idea. I talked it over with Auntie. She thought I might be onto something, wondered if you’d be into it too.â€Â
“Oh yeah?†I leaned closer, interested. “What’s that?â€Â
“Makin’ our own movies, man. ’Could mean some good money, if we’re lucky.â€Â
I blinked. “Movies?â€Â
“Yeah. You an’ me. We start our own production company, make our own shit.â€Â
“You’re serious about this?â€Â
“Hell yeah.â€Â
I leaned back into the couch. “I don’t know. I mean…â€Â
Swan had been relaxed for our entire conversation, thumping his leg on the side of the chair. But now he spun around so he was facing me.
“Look, bro. Here’s the thing. Auntie said she’d help with our cash flow. She’s loaded, man. I don’t wanna make some crappy indie shit that nobody but some tattooed patchouli smellin’ motherfuckers are gonna see at some outta the way art house theater. We need to get profitable, quick, or we dead in the water.â€Â
That was the truth.
“So?â€Â
“Auntie tells me you’re into some kinky shit.†He raised his eyebrows. “Me too, man. See, I don’t care if you’re fuckin’ her. It’s all cool. I think that’s why she introduced us.â€Â
I didn’t see where this was going, and said so.
“I’m talkin’ about making porno’s.â€Â
I blinked again. He grinned, showing me all those teeth.
“Y’know, dudes and chicks, chicks and chicks. Chicks with dicks. Hell, chicks with fuckin’ goats! Whatever we can get away with.â€Â
“You’re serious?â€Â
“How ‘bout we go get some grub, an’ I’ll let you in on what I come up with so far.â€Â
I thought about it. “There’s a club not to far from here with a bar.â€Â
“Food okay?â€Â
“They make a sloppy gyros.â€Â
“Damn. Okay.â€Â
We both stood up. I shoved my hands in my pockets. “Porn, huh?â€Â
“Yup.†Swan nodded. His afro bobbed back and forth. “An’ the crazier shit, the better.â€Â
He stuck out his hand, and after a second, we shook.
“All right. Sounds cool to me.â€Â
He grinned.
“Right on. Damn, partner. I’m starved. Let’s eat.â€Â
***
I drove. Swan had to rack the seat back as far as it would go and bend himself almost in half, but he managed to squeeze inside the beetle. It was still pretty early, so the club was quiet when we got there. I didn’t see anybody I knew yet either, but the souvlaki joint was packed. We could hear the buzz of conversation from the curb.
Inside, I nodded to the Asian guy working the counter, Chucky. He slapped my hand, and Swan and I each ordered a large lamb souvlaki with veggies and extra feta. We got a couple drinks and found two empty stools at the skinny bar along the back wall.
Between bites of hot, meaty, drippy goodness, we slurped on cold beer and got to know each other, almost shouting to be heard over the music from the blues CD blaring out of the beatbox on the counter.
“I was born and raised in Chicago,†Swan said, licking at a blob of greasy sauce running down his wrist. “My pop left and moved to Brooklyn when I was little, so I spent summers with him, hangin’ out in the city. Auntie’s my mom’s…uh…†He tried to come up with the right word, then just grinned and shrugged. “Well. You know. Her brother. His real name is Shakim.â€Â
“Shakim?†I blinked.
Swan laughed and nodded. “Yup. I think my Gramma wanted him to go into politics, get radical, join the Panthers or somethin’, you know? Mom says she always knew he was gay, even when he was a kid. But nobody but me knows what he’s up to nowadays, what with the titties an’ all.â€Â
“So you’d come here and visit?â€Â
“Mm. Yep. On vacations and whatnot.†He tipped back his beer and washed another bite down. “Mom was okay with that. She and Auntie were close as kids, so she trusts him. My Pop thinks he’s fucked up, but I could give a shit about his opinion. The motherfucker’s been a junkie since he was a kid. I figure, what the hell kind of truth can he show me?â€Â
I noticed that Swan was slowly losing the hip-hop attitude, the longer we talked. Maybe he was getting more comfortable around me. I finished my sandwich, wiped my hands and shrugged.
“I don’t know. My dad’s drinking himself into the ground. I haven’t been able to talk to him about anything for a long time.â€Â
Swan chuckled.
“See? All my old man taught me was to be scared shitless of needles. Maybe that’s enough.†He tipped his beer bottle at me. “You still drink, though?â€Â
“Not usually.â€Â
“Special occasions?â€Â
“Only if it tastes right with whatever I’m eating.â€Â
He studied me, giving me that sleepy took. Then he took another sip and grinned. “The beer does wash the Greek down nice, all right.†He polished off the rest of his bottle and wiped his mouth. “So Auntie says y’all spend the summer together in France?â€Â
“Yeah. We’ve gone the last couple of years. Our…mutual friend lives there.’
“Cool. I’ve been all over the place, myself. Spent six months after high school, bumpin’ around Europe. Spent some time working as a chef at a bread and breakfast in France. Lived in Japan for a few months. That was crazy.†He pointed at the remains of our food. “Greece, too. Hot women, there, man. Whoo!â€Â
“So how long have you had this…idea?â€Â
“About the porn?â€Â
“Yeah.â€Â
Swan stared at the dozens of concert flyers pasted on the wall in front of us. For the first time, he really opened his eyes, and he smiled an easy, slow smile.
“Forever, man. For as long as I can remember.â€Â
We dumped our garbage, and walked out onto the street to the disjointed rumble of music from inside the club. A band doing a sound check. A deep base line rattled the store windows around us, and I heard a muffled voice I recognized, singing through the PA system.
“Hey, you want to meet some friends of mine?â€Â
“Sure.â€Â
ScaryBrotha’s was a converted movie theater that the city had been ready to tear down. Some friends of mine that I’ve known since high school, Dave and Byron, bought it for about a dollar a few years ago and were slowly renovating it into a music venue.
They’d fixed the building up bit by bit, installed a full bar along with the little restaurant, and opened it up to the public about a year ago.
We got in line, but Suzie, the girl working the entry, caught my eye and waved me up. She put everyone else in line on hold; not caring that it pissed everybody off. She flipped open the bottom door to the ticket booth and gave me a hug. The club’s bouncer, a big, scary biker dude named Victor, stood like a rock behind her. He folded his huge arms across his chest, growled like a rabid wolf and glared at us out from under his sunglasses.
I glared back, and they both broke up.
“Dev!†Victor slammed me on the back with a hand the size of a football. “Been a long time since you dropped by, you little motherfucker!â€Â
Suzie was still hugging me, going “bbbbbrrrrrrumsky!†into my chest.
“Just been busy.†I grinned and shrugged. “You know how it is.â€Â
“You here to see K.C.?â€Â
“We just ate next door...â€Â
I pointed to Swan, who was slouching against the brick wall. He looked asleep on his feet. I realized the sleepy-look thing was how he reacted when he was in an uncomfortable situation. Like meeting new people.
“…and we heard some of the sound check.â€Â
“Yah. I can smell. Here, c’mon in. They’ll be starting in a few minutes.â€Â
Suzie let me go and stamped my hand. Swan peeled himself off the wall to follow me in, but Victor stopped him, strong-arming him with a palm to his chest. There was a hollow thump, and Swan grunted.
“Hey man,†Victor tried to peer into Swans’ heavy-lidded eyes. “You high or something?†He glanced at me. “You know we don’t let in anybody who’s fucked up. It’s bad for business.â€Â
They were almost the same height, but Victor outweighed Swan by probably two hundred pounds of pure, lean, vicious-dog style muscle. Swan was so skinny; Victor’s hand covered most of his chest.
“No, he’s…â€Â
I got that far, before Swan casually grabbed one of Victor’s fingers and twisted. There was a loud pop, and then Victor bent double, shrieking like a girl.
“Oww! Hey! Leggo!â€Â
Swan let go. Just that fast. But his eyes were open now, and gleaming. Victor was holding the finger Swan had tweaked. It was bent at a bad angle.
“Sorry man. I don’t like people touching me.â€Â
“No shit.†Suzie stared at him in amazement. The crowd around us was suddenly really quiet.
“Here, let me fix that.â€Â
Victor looked like he wanted to run and hide as Swan reached for him.
“Serious, man. It’s just dislocated. We can pop it right back, no problem.â€Â
Another loud pop. I saw Victor wince, and then he sighed, held his hand in front of his face and wiggled his fingers. Swan stepped back.
“There. All fixed.â€Â
“Goddamn.†He flexed his hand again, and finally grinned at Swan. “Get your ass inside, before I call the cops.â€Â
Suzie stamped Swan, and I heard Victor muttering something about those damn kids as we disappeared through the doors.
“Sorry ‘bout that,†Swan said, following me through the growing crowd of pierced hipsters. “I didn’t mean to hurt him.â€Â
What could I say? “Okay.â€Â
“Seriously. I just reacted, you know?â€Â
I nodded again. “Okay.â€Â
“I just freaked you out, didn’t I?â€Â
“Yeah. A little.â€Â
“Shit. I was just tryin’ to keep a low profile.â€Â
“Right.â€Â
“Auntie taught me all that stuff. She used to be really into martial arts. Thought I’d need to know how to protect myself, you know? With my pop leavin’ me alone in a fuckin’ crack house all the time.†His lip turned up in a snarl. “She was right. Knowin’ the shit helped. If the homie’s knew you were like Bruce Lee, they didn’t fuck with you as much. Got respect the first time I kicked somebody’s ass.â€Â
“Well, I think you made an impression.â€Â
“Aw, fuck.â€Â
We turned and stepped into the main floor of the club. There was a bar that ran along the back wall, that served light drinks like coffee and soda, and there were tables that seated three or four people roped off along the side. The stage was down front. Dave and Byron had kept the theater’s original stage, but reinforced it for safety, so the bands could jump around all they wanted. The dressing rooms for the acts were upstairs, along with another, full bar and a balcony for the VIPS; the pretty, important people could hang out and pose while they mingled with the stars, and not rub elbows with us common folk.
I didn’t think we’d find my buddies up there. I was right.
I paused and peered over the sea of heads, bobbing to the canned house music thumping out of the speakers, some reggae. I only had to scan half the room before I saw them. Dave and KC were hanging out with some other folks I knew, all grouped together at the tables down in front, not far from the stage. For some reason, Byron wasn’t around tonight. He was probably out dorking one of his honeys.
I went to school with all of them, KC too: he was a chubby gay white boy with a monster singing voice. Some local music critic recently described his voice as sounding like Etta James soaked with warm honey.
That’s about right, I think.
KC wanted to be a soul diva since he was five, and he started a band with our buddy Porter during college. They called themselves maybe five different things before deciding on the Soul Disciples. Now they’ve been playing clubs around town for a while, attracting bunches of faithful groupies who flock to see them play. Seems like we weren’t the only crowd who missed being able to go out and groove to a real band and not have to deal with gang-bangers and bad rap acts. Like KC says, it’s all about Soul.
They’ve been rewarded by finally attracting some serious label attention.
KC waved when he saw me.
“Dev-Dev!â€Â
He was already sweating, probably from goofing around during the equipment check. He doesn’t hold back when he’s performing, even for the few minutes it probably took the club engineer to check the lights and the sound. By the end of a show, he’s usually guzzling pitchers of warm lemon water to help ease his throat.
The band hoped he could keep his voice until they cut their demo.
I just hoped he didn’t have a heart attack on stage.
I kind of half-turned to Swan, who was taking everything in, squinting in the black light and checking out the murals painted on the wall and the ceilings. Dave had them commissioned from a bunch of starving local artists, in exchange for VIP passes to the club. There were probably a few of them hanging out upstairs now.
“Damn. Some of this shit is pretty good.â€Â
“Yeah,†I agreed.
“Damn,†he said again. “I’d pay just to look at some of this stuff.â€Â
Suddenly, I wanted to warn him about my sex life, which was full of sensitive information my friends just didn’t need to know. “Hey, Swan, I just want you to make sure that…well, most of my friends know that I screwed one of our high school teachers, okay? But they don’t know anything about Desiree, or…â€Â
He grinned. “You mean you’ve never brought my Auntie here on a date?â€Â
I shook my head.
“Alright, then. I got it. Don’t bring up the chicks with dicks thing. Right?â€Â
“Right.â€Â
“What about the business? They got anything against us being entrepreneurs?â€Â
“I think they’ll be okay with that.â€Â
“Cool.â€Â
So I made another set of introductions, this time with no dislocated fingers. Swan and Dave hit it off right away. Dave was originally from back east too, and he’d gone to art school in New York for a year before transferring back here. We made small talk for awhile, then KC and Porter had to go to work.
The band started off with a nice, slow groove, the same song they used for the sound check. Dave ordered us a round of drinks on the house, and then folks around us started dancing. Swan drank and bobbed his head. His eyes were wide open. I think he was enjoying himself.
Dave knew Suzie had a crush on me, so he got some other employee to give her a break. She wandered in to check out the music. Dave waved her over and she sat next to me. I ordered her a beer, and we spent the rest of the night drinking and necking, then eventually we were groping each other on the dance floor.
I remember Swan calling it a night, late into the band’s second set. He patted my shoulder and left with some girl who Suzie knew, named T.J. He checked Suzie out as she was grinding her ass into me.
He winked and made a ‘mm-mm!’ sound, then T.J. was pulling him out the door.
The band finished up not too long after that, and the bartender shouted for last call around And that’s when Suzie pulled me out of the club and dragged me back to her place for a nightcap.
I’d like to say that the sex would start here, for those of you who are wondering when the hell I’m gonna get to it. And it probably would, if I could remember much else after we got to Suzie’s apartment. But I don’t, really. Except that she has a little tattoo of a bug chewing on a leaf on the inside of her left thigh.
Oh, yeah. And her clit’s pierced.
I only remember that because she didn’t warn me. So I cut up my tongue, and it bled like a motherfucker. I could barely eat the next day.
So, with all due apologies, hold onto those boners, or whatever, and I’ll just skip ahead a bit, several Friday nights down the road.
***
Weekends and holidays at the store are a bitch, from a staffing perspective, insofar as it’s generally our busiest time (which is good). But on the other hand, seeing that most of my employee’s tend to be high school kids who all decide they suddenly need Friday night off all at the same time, it’s also the most aggravating.
Especially when you get two of them who are supposed to be working (one of them a freakin’ half-an-hour ago), but they both mysteriously get – cough - cough – sick at exactly the same time. Funny how that works, huh? The frustration’s enough to make a guy want to bomb the movie theaters, or wherever it is teenagers hang out these days. But that wouldn’t work; I’d just have to find some real employees.
Like that’s gonna happen.
So, just as I was slamming the phone down after the second ‘I’m calling in sick (this one actually had his mom do it for him.) phone calls, Stephanie walked through the door with three or four out of control little boys at her heels.
And guess what? She was wearing a swim suit: a tight, red one-piece, with a fluffy, flowery-patterned beach towel wrapped around her hips.
They were all wearing swimming suits. Stephanie’s hair was still damp, hanging in thick wet strands down her back. The kids ran screaming over to the games (No, you say. Not the games. Anything but the games. Dev, remember what happened the last time you told us about kids in the game section? Shit…), and then a couple of things happened at once.
While I was busy grumbling about assholes fucking around with me, Steph (as I’ve come to call her) sauntered over to the counter. She grinned when she saw my face, and I got a big fucking boner when I looked over and saw her big fucking tits packed into her wet, clinging swimsuit.
Thinking quickly, I pushed my crotch into the counter to try and hide my erection, which was, for all intents and purposes, completely impossible as my dick was suddenly trying to rip its way out of my trousers. By rubbing my cock up against the Formica, I just managed to escalate the problem.
So to speak. The wave of horniness that hit me was so intense, I think I actually groaned.
“Hey.†She said.
“Hey Steph.â€Â
Then she made everything worse by running her hands through her hair, combing it back with her fingertips. It looked casual, but thinking back on the gesture, I wonder if she did it on purpose. I’m still not sure.
This time, I know I sighed. But I tried to be cool, to play it casual.
But, you know…
I was having a really, really hard time not staring at her boobs. I could see her nipples, for God’s sake. Every cold little bump. They were right there. Poing! Hard as little pebbles, poking out at me, just-like-that.
JesusChristAlmighty, this was bad.
She’s one of your employees, I thought. Get a fucking grip. I had to come up with something to say, other than telling her how nice her boobies were.
I didn’t get off to a swinging start, conversationally.
“So, uh, you guys go swimming?â€Â
See?
“Yep.†She grinned. “How’d you guess?â€Â
“I think it was the towel.â€Â
I pointed to her belly, and my eyes drifted that way too, and I realized she wasn’t as chubby as maybe I thought. She was thick, but solid. Then my dick throbbed, and I actually got so dizzy I had to cling to the edge of the counter to keep from keeling over.
I took a deep breath, and swallowed hard.
“It’s a nice touch.â€Â
“Thanks.†She shook her hair back and grinned again. “Is everything okay?†She asked. “You looked like you wanted to kill somebody when we came in.â€Â
“Yeah, well. Ben and Norm just called in.â€Â
“Really? So who’s working tonight?â€Â
I shrugged miserably. “Jenny’s due in at four, but she can’t close. That was supposed to be Ben’s shift. I already tried Lindsay, but she’s out of town until tomorrow, so…†I shrugged again. “Looks like I’m pulling a double tonight. I…â€Â
I trailed off. Steph was staring at something behind me, trying not to giggle. It looked like she was blushing. I turned around, looked through the big picture windows into the parking lot. There was a woman sitting in a minivan, grinning at me.
She waved.
I waved back. The woman made a face and pointed frantically at something behind me. I whipped around, and found Steph sticking her tongue out at her.
“Who’s that?†I asked. Steph made another face and tried to blow it off.
“That’s my mom. She just picked me and my brothers up from the pool.†It was Steph’s turn to sigh. “She’s teasing me.â€Â
“About what?â€Â
“Nothing. She’s just being an idiot.â€Â
I glanced over at the gang of kids dripping poolwater around on my floor.
“So…†I looked back at Steph, who was silently mouthing something that looked like ‘shut up’ towards her mom. “Those are all your brothers?â€Â
She stood up a little straighter, caught in the act.
“Oh, no, those are my little brothers.â€Â
I blinked. “You mean…there’s more?â€Â
“Yeah,†She nodded. “I’ve got three older brothers too.â€Â
“Wow. Eight kids?â€Â
“Yeah. It’s a Catholic thing.â€Â
“I see.†I shook my head, amazed. “Must get crazy during dinnertime.â€Â
She laughed. It made her boobs jiggle. I tried to keep my mind on the subject.
“Where do you all sleep?â€Â
She held up two fingers. “Two houses. My older brothers live in a house across the street from where we live.â€Â
“Oh.†I said, and nodded sagely, like everyone I knew had a family of eight kids that lived in multiple dwellings. “That makes sense.â€Â
It was Stephanie that brought the topic back to my staffing predicament. She took me by surprise, and said:
“So, do you need help tonight? I could come in and help close, if you want.â€Â
Wow. Maybe I’ve actually gone and hired one of those real employees I’d wondered about.
“Are you sure? I mean, we won’t be getting out till after two, especially if you want me to show you how to close.â€Â
“Yeah, it’s okay. I don’t really have anything to do.†She tilted her head down and kind of peeked out from under her eyebrows. “I mean, I’d rather make some money then listen to my little brothers fight, you know? I could work tomorrow, too, and Sunday…â€Â
“Okay. Sounds good.â€Â
“Great!†She broke into a huge grin. “Just let me get these guys some movies, and I’ll go home and change…â€Â
“Ah.†I waved a hand. “It’s okay. You could work like that.â€Â
She laughed and went to gather her brothers. “I’ll be back in a little while.â€Â
I wasn’t kidding. I would’ve loved if she’d just hung out in her swimsuit. But then, the way my dick was sucking all of the blood from my head, I’d probably just pass out.
***
Stephanie was as good as her word. Barely half an hour later, her mom pulled back up in the van and dropped her off. Jennifer, my other employee, surprised me and came in early too. I hooked them both up with their jobs for the evening, and then we had a huge rush of business between five and . The girls did a great job, even Stephanie, although she’d only been training a few weeks.
The flood eventually tapered off enough for me to run and grab some dinner at the market we shared the parking lot with. I ordered a sandwich and soup at the deli counter, then just kind of zoned out while the clerk made my food. I was so tired and hungry and spaced out I didn’t even notice Nancy sneaking up on me until she bumped my elbow with hers. She almost tipped me over.
“Hi.†She grinned at me. “Fancy seeing you here.â€Â
I almost didn’t recognize her. She looked…younger than usual, I guess. She was wearing a faded purple denim jacket over a satiny, multi-colored blouse, and a pair of old jeans and sandals. I caught a whiff of perfume, and noticed that she was wearing a nice pearl necklace with matching earrings.
“Hi yourself.â€Â
“Just getting off work?â€Â
I tried to laugh, but it came out like a snort. “Actually, I get to go back after this.â€Â
“Somebody call in sick?â€Â
Another snort. “Sounds like you know what I’m going through.â€Â
She smiled. She was wearing makeup, too. And no glasses…contacts, maybe?
“You just usually aren’t around here this late. And I thought you didn’t live close by…â€Â
“Mm-m. I don’t, really.†I said slowly. My mind was still focused on how good she looked.
Something must’ve showed on my face, because she stepped back and spread her arms, then gave me a funny look.
“Do I have something on me?â€Â
“What?†I realized I was staring, and blinked a couple times. “No. No, you just look…really nice tonight.â€Â
I think I caught her off guard. This time she blinked, then she smiled.
“Thank you.â€Â
“You’re welcome.â€Â
Then there was an awkward silence. A short one, but still…
“So…†I cleared my throat. “What are you up to tonight? Why are you so dressed up?â€Â
I guess it was maybe the wrong thing to ask. Her face kind of fell, and she started to look more like the Nancy I remembered.
“Dan and I were going out to eat.†She heaved a sigh. “But he got called away for the weekend. There was a problem with one of his new fix-ups in Bend. The plumbing burst, or something like that, so he’s driving down for the weekend to try to fix it.â€Â
“Oh.â€Â
“So here I am.†She grinned again and kind of bounced her arms up and down, slapping her hips with the palms of her hands. I think she was trying to be funny, but she just managed to look even sadder. “Alone again, like usual. I thought maybe I’d just find something quick to eat and grab a movie for tonight, instead…â€Â
I really didn’t know what to say to that. I managed a weak, “Sometimes stuff happens, I guess.â€Â
Nancy shrugged, and we had yet another uncomfortable silence. Can you read where this is going? I thought I could too, but I still surprised myself when I opened my big mouth again. We waited together while the clerk rang me up, and then:
“So, he’s going to be gone all weekend?â€Â
“Uh-huh. He thought he’d be back Tuesday or Wednesday.â€Â
Here it goes…
“Well,†I handed the clerk a twenty, took my food and felt the palms of my hands get sweaty. “What are you doing tomorrow night?â€Â
“Tomorrow…†Nancy repeated, with more surprised blinking. “Um, nothing…â€Â
“You know, I’m off tomorrow, and I don’t have anything planned either. How would you like to go to dinner and catch a movie…?â€Â
For a second I thought she was going to slap me. I really did. But then she smiled again, and the years seemed to just melt away.
“Okay…â€Â
***
I walked back to the store in a daze and was going to head straight into my office and eat, but somebody was calling my name. Swan was waiting at the counter with his sleepy look in place, chatting up Jennifer. Stephanie was busy at one of the computer terminals, checking in returns. She peeked up and gave me one of her little grins.
“What’s goin’ on, brother-man?†Swan grinned, we slapped hands. “Tried to call, but these fine young ladies said you were out eatin’.†He stuffed his hands back into his pockets. “Why you still here, man?â€Â
“Long story.â€Â
“Like that, huh? Some geek call and say they sick, can’t come in an’ shit?â€Â
“Yep.â€Â
“So you gonna be closin’ up shop tonight, huh?â€Â
“Yep.â€Â
He winked at Jen. Stephanie hid another grin. “Sorry, man. That’s bullshit.â€Â
“Yep.â€Â
“Y’all ain’t real talkative when you’re pissed off, are you?â€Â
“Nope.â€Â
“Okay. That’s cool.†He frowned like Al Pacino in Scarface, nodded. “But y’all make me wonder why I even came by, with an attitude like that.†He sniffed the air. “Somethin’ smells good. What’choo got there?â€Â
“Breakfast.†I jerked my head towards my office. “Come on back while I eat.â€Â
“Cool,†he said, and ambled along behind me, looking an awful lot like a skinny, talking tree. He tipped up on his toes and peered back at the counter while I unlocked the door. “You know breakfast was a long time ago, don’t you?†I glared at Swan, trying to melt him into the floor with my super heat ray vision. He just grinned again. “Dev, you got some hotties workin’ for you man.â€Â
I opened the door and he followed me in, walked around the little space looking at movie posters. I opened my bag and dug out my dinner. “You think?â€Â
“Hell, yeah.†He plopped down in the other chair. “Damn that smells good…it’s a lotta food, too. Man, you can’t eat all that. Here, gimme a bite…â€Â
I gave him half of my sandwich, hoping it would shut him up long enough for me to eat. I dug into my soup, and we ate in companionable silence for a minute. Then he piped up again. “You hate this place so much, why don’t you just quit?â€Â
“I can’t do that…â€Â
“Sure you can. Just call up the motherfucker who owns this place, and say ‘I quit’. Or you can send them a nice, typed letter, if you wanna be a sucker about it.â€Â
“It’s not that easy.â€Â
“Why not?â€Â
“I need the money. I’ve got bills…â€Â
“Man, that’s pussy shit. There’s so much other stuff you could do…hell, Dave was tellin’ me he offered you a job doing advertising for the club. Making commercials and whatnot. KC wants you to direct a video…and I’ve seen the design work you did for Auntie…Hell. You’re just wasting time her, man.â€Â
“Swan, all that stuff won’t pay my tuition, or my rent. It helps, but…â€Â
He took a huge bite of sandwich and washed it down with a gulp from my soda. “I’m just sayin’ that you’ve got options. Lord knows I wouldn’t wanna interrupt your cash flow. How else am I gonna bum food off’a you?â€Â
I snorted.
“Man, you don’t have to deal with the shit goin’ on here, if you don’t want to. Besides…you say you want to make movies. Right?â€Â
“Yeah, of course.†I nodded. “I wouldn’t have spent a buttload of money on school if I didn’t.â€Â
“Then why don’t you think spending twelve hour days here is a waste of your time?â€Â
I didn’t have an answer for that. He was right. I sighed and gave him the rest of my soup.
“What, you don’t want that? You full?â€Â
“It’s all yours.â€Â
“Thanks.†He took a slurp. “Mm. That’s good. Hey Dev, you know I’m just fuckin’ with you. Right? I understand about keeping commitments and all that.â€Â
“Yeah, I know. But you’re right. Dave’s been telling me the same thing for years.â€Â
“Wise man, brother Dave.†More slurping. “But you do have some fringe benefits.â€Â
“What’s that.â€Â
He waved his hand towards the door. “Like those girls out there man. They dig you. And that Stephanie girl, she really likes you, you know that?â€Â
I finally laughed. “Right.â€Â
“Seriously, man. I was out there scammin’ on…on…what’s her name?â€Â
“Jennifer?â€Â
“Yeah, yeah. Jennifer. She was tellin’ me about your flaky employees fuckin’ with you, then Stephanie gets all embarrassed and says she’s gonna help you close up tonight. You get that? ‘Help you close up.’ She digs you, man. I can tell. I bet you could fuck her right here on your desk.â€Â
“She works for me. Won’t happen.â€Â
He gave me the Scarface frown again. “H’okay, boss. Whatever.â€Â
I rolled my eyes.
“Hey,†he leaned over, “Why don’t we hook up some of those little video camera’s in here? We can hide ‘em up there in the lights, an’ in the bathrooms and whatnot. That way if you do screw her we can catch it on tape.â€Â
I stared at him with my mouth hanging open. He gave me an innocent shrug.
“What? We’re filmmakers, man. Remember? People are into that spy-cam shit. You think it won’t work?â€Â
“I think it’s a bad idea. You say stuff like that, and I hear the sound of a heavy, barred door slamming closed on a jail cell.â€Â
He laughed and sat back. “Dev, you worry too damn much.â€Â
“Maybe. But I really think I prefer not to go to jail.â€Â
“There are many prisons, Grasshopper. The worst prison is always in the mind.â€Â
“Wow. That’s deep. Get it off a fortune cookie?â€Â
“Hell, yeah. Auntie and I had some smokin’ take out from this little Chinese place by her house. Mm-m.†Swan finished off his half of the sandwich and started eyeing the rest of mine I wrapped a protective arm around the chunk of soggy bread and smacked his hand into the desk.
“Leave it alone. You already ate most of my dinner. How the hell do you eat so much?â€Â
“I thought you said this was breakfast?†I groaned. “Man, you know I’m a growin’ boy. I gotta keep up my strength.†He patted his stomach and backed off, a little. “So…you really gonna be here late?â€Â
“Yeah.â€Â
“Too bad. I was gonna meet T.J. tonight, maybe hang out over at Dave’s place, catch some music.†He slapped a tune out on the desk with his hands. “She’s down with makin’ a movie. I was gonna see if you thought maybe you could hook up with that Suzie girl tonight. Maybe she might wanna be a star too?â€Â
He grinned. “Oh, yeah. I would’a taped some that night we all met, but I didn’t have a camera with me. She called me a couple days ago and we hooked up. She’s into it man. This is the beginning.â€Â
“Wow.†I sat back in my chair, dumbfounded.
“Yeah. You should come with us, you know, hang out. This could be our first break, man.â€Â
“Wish I could. Next time, sure, but I can’t tonight.â€Â
“All right. I understand.†Swan stood up. “Duty calls, and all that. Hey, you sure about that spy-cam? We could hook one up in the bathroom too…â€Â
“No way.â€Â
He held up his hands. “Right. I won’t push it, then. But try to get hold of Suzie. T.J. says she’s freaky as shit. Getting both those girls together’ll blister my socks and make us rich.â€Â
“I’ll call her this weekend.â€Â
“Right on.â€Â
Then I thought of something. “Hey, guess what?â€Â
“What?â€Â
“I’ve got a date tomorrow.â€Â
“For real?â€Â
I leaned back in my chair, grinning. “Yeah. You wanna make some movies about old chicks?â€Â
“How old?â€Â
“Fifties. She’s a customer. I asked her out when I was over at the store.â€Â
“Really? You gonna fuck her?â€Â
I shrugged. “I’m gonna give it a shot.â€Â
“She know about us?â€Â
I shook my head.
“She married?â€Â
“Yeah.â€Â
“Oh, shit.â€Â
“Yeah.â€Â
“He know about this?â€Â
“Nooo.â€Â
“Good. You had me sweatin’ there for a sec. Man. I had you all wrong. You do like to live dangerous. So…how you gonna work it?â€Â
“I don’t know.â€Â
“Well all right. We’ll play it by ear. So now we got us a couple things on the plate. That’s cool.†Swan opened the door, letting in a rush of cool air. “Okay. I’m outta here. Check you later, baby.†He stepped out, then peeked back in. I could see Stephanie, behind him with her back to the door, bent over and putting away movies. He wiggled his eyebrows at me. “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do…â€Â
***
We close late on weekends, at one in the morning. It usually takes about an hour to clean up, close everything down and count out our receipts for the day. Right at one I locked the doors and turned off the lights and the ‘open’ signs, then Stephanie and I got to work. I went over the closing checklist with her, explaining the process and helping her along, step by step.
I emphasized that she needed to be really careful, because she’d be working alone the couple evenings. We’d had people hide in the store before, and I didn’t want anything to happen to her.
She did pretty well, yet again, and we finished with everything but the deposits by twenty to two. We ran the closeout reports and pulled all the till drawers, and went back into the office to count out and go over the nightly paperwork. I sat her down at the desk with the computer and she got busy.
By that time, I’d been at work since that morning, and up since seven. I dragged the other chair around the desk behind Stephanie in case she had any questions, sat down and promptly fell asleep.
I woke up to her nudging my knee.
“Hey, Dev? I don’t know what to do here…?â€Â
I blinked, totally discombobulated, and quickly checked my chin for drool.
All dry.
God, I hoped I hadn’t been snoring.
“Where? I mumbled.
I pushed out of the chair and leaned over her shoulder to have a look.
“Right here…†She pointed and trailed off, staring blankly at some vague space around my jawline. I started blabbing about adding up certain columns when I realized she wasn’t listening to a word I was saying.
“Steph…?â€Â
She was just inches away from me, smiling this sweet little smile. Her head was tilted a little to one side, and she was still staring at me, her eyelids fluttering and her chest heaving, far off in some other world.
We were so close I could have kissed her. I wanted to. I wanted to tangle my fingers in her hair and pull her close, press my mouth against hers. I wanted to kiss her and nibble her on her ears and lightly run my lips down to the base of her throat. I wanted to watch her eyes close and hear her gasp for breath as I reached down and gently pulled up her shirt and touched her breasts…
One of us moaned, softly. I don’t think it was me.
In that very brief moment, I knew Swan was right, that I could probably do all those nasty things that were running through my head and more. I knew that if I wanted to, I could lift her up and bend her over the table, slowly unbutton her pants and tug them down around her ankles.I knew she’d be soft and warm and wet, that her panties would stick, just a little, as I pulled them down…
But I didn’t.
“Steph…? Are you okay?â€Â
She blinked herself awake, and I saw a slow blush creep up her neck. “Oh. Yeah, I just needed to make sure I was doing this right…â€Â
***
Somehow, we got through our little moment, and finished up just after two in the morning. Stephanie used the phone at the front counter to call for her ride while I got my shit together, and she was still there with the receiver stuck to her ear when I locked the office door. I raised my eyebrow and she gave me a frustrated shrug.
“Is everything okay?†I asked.
“Nobody’s answering.†She hung up and dialed again. “Shit.â€Â
At the front door I flipped off all the lights and got her new set of store keys ready. We stood there in the dark together, waiting. She was starting to look really upset.
“I think they’re all asleep.â€Â
“Do you need a ride?â€Â
“Um…â€Â
“It’s not a problem.â€Â
“Let me try again.â€Â
She dialed. I unshouldered my pack with my computer and cameras and set my gear on the counter. She crossed her arms and tapped a fingernail on her front teeth. I waved at someone returning some DVD’s in our after-hours dropbox.
“Shit. I can’t believe it. They forgot about me.â€Â
“C’mon, Steph.†I picked up my stuff again, and headed for the door. “Let’s go.â€Â
“Really? It’s okay?†She grabbed her bag, a big leather thing that probably had enough space in it for a scooter, if not a small car, and slung it over her shoulder.
“Yeah. Of course it’s okay. It’s the least I can do for offering to help me out this weekend. Here, you need to know this.†I punched in my alarm code. “Got it? You can use that code when you leave tomorrow.â€Â
“Okay.â€Â
“You get to lock up.â€Â
I handed her the spare set of keys.
We checked to make sure the store was locked tight, then we crossed the parking lot to my VW. I unlocked the car and tossed my bag behind my seat. Steph slid into the passenger seat and dropped her bag on the floor between her feet.
She was tucking a stray curl of hair behind her ear when I sat down and started the engine. It was still warm out, so I cranked back the sunroof while she looked around at interior of the old car.
“This is…cute.â€Â
I gave her a he-man look and signaled, turning out into the street. “Cute, huh?â€Â
“Yeah.†She grinned.
“Okay, then. Mock my car if you want to. I don’t need to give you a ride, you know.â€Â
“Oo. Sorry. Didn’t mean to offend the big, macho car.â€Â
“It takes insults very personally.â€Â
“I can tell.â€Â
I turned on the stereo. KC’s voice drifted out over the speakers, a copy of an acoustic gig the band dubbed a few months ago. My stomach rumbled, loud enough for Stephanie to hear it, and I realized it had been hours since the little sandwich I’d split with Swan.
She stared at my belly and laughed.
“Hungry?†She asked.
“Oh, yeah.†I glanced over at her. “How about you?â€Â
A small shrug.
“If you want to grab a bite, I know a great place that’s open really late.†My stomach growled again, even louder. “Unless you need to get home right away…â€Â
She was still laughing, and my stomach was still rumbling. “No…I mean, I like to go…â€Â
“Good.†I said. “Because I don’t know if I’d make it home...â€Â
The ‘place’ was a trendy, Cajun style bar and grill called YoMomma’s that was open until at least on weekends. They served stuff like alligator jambalaya and spicy mac-and-cheese for the late-night club crowd, and they had killer deserts to go along with a huge selection of booze.
And because there were so few restaurants in town that were still open at this hour, they were always jumpin’. Tonight was no exception. There was a line at the door that stretched a half a block long. Fortunately for us, most of them were probably waiting for a spot in the bar, not the restaurant. I figured we’d only have to wait ten, fifteen minutes.
I parked the car at the curb across the street and killed the engine. Stephanie was looking out her window, at the crowd of hipsters.
“Ready?†I asked.
“Um. I don’t think I can go in there…â€Â
Then remembered something I’d said to Swan earlier, about Stephanie’s age.
“Oh, hey. Don’t worry, I know you’re eighteen, but that’s okay, I know the owner. You’ll be fine, as long as you’re with me.†I winked at her. “And you don’t drink.â€Â
“Oh. Yeah, I guess that’s a problem too.â€Â
“What’s wrong?"
She turned away from the sea of black leather, tattoos and body piercings, and glanced down at her red polo work shirt, her khaki Capri pants and her tennis shoes.
“I feel like a dork.â€Â
“Why?†I gave her a critical inspection. She looked good to me. “You look fine.â€Â
“You’re kidding, right?â€Â
I shrugged. “I don’t care if you don’t have a tattoo on your forehead. Nobody here will either.â€Â
Stephanie shook her head at me like I was a complete idiot. I was going to tell her to forget about it, and then she took a deep breath and stripped off her work shirt, right there in the car.
Underneath her shirt she was wearing a lacy, black satin camisole. With no bra.
Basically, instant boner for me.
“There,†she said, and tucked her shirt in her bag.
“Wow.†I think is what I said. I can’t really remember. I was too busy staring at her boobs.
“Okay. This’ll work.†She grinned and opened her door. “Let’s go.â€Â
I scrambled out of the car after her, and she followed me across the street. I started to sweat, cold drops trickling down my sides, and I was wondering why it was suddenly so warm out when I realized that Stephanie was so short, every time I looked down to talk to her, I found myself staring right down between her breasts. Stephanie eyed the crowd some more.
“They’re really crowded.â€Â
“Always.â€Â
I was going to see about a table, but I heard my name called. I half-turned and saw a flash of curly red hair, and someone pounced on me.
Suzie.
“Dev! Hey, baby!â€Â
She drunkenly pushed by Stephanie, threw her arms around my neck and shoved her tongue in my mouth. I could taste the booze. Stephanie went from bright-eyed and happy to looking like she wanted to run and cry, just that fast.
She took a step backwards.
“Suzie…â€Â
I tried to gently disengage myself and failed miserably, so I just took hold of Suzie’s arms and pushed. She stumbled and almost fell. She would have too, if I hadn’t been holding her up. Then two more people disengaged from the line.
Swan and T.J.
They were stuck together at the hip. Swan had a video camera in his free hand, recording the whole scene, and was wiggling his eyebrows at Stephanie and showing me all of his teeth.
“What’s up, baby?†They wobbled over. “We were just leaving. Y’all here for drinks?â€Â
T.J. glared at Stephanie, who had enough gumption to glare right back at her.
“No…we’re just going to grab a bite to eat, then we’re going home.â€Â
“So who’s this?†Apparently not getting the reaction she wanted from Stephanie, T.J. interrupted and turned the glare on me. “Your little sister?â€Â
“Y’all could hang with us.†Swan ignored her. “We were just heading back to T.J.’s to have a little fun…â€Â
I stepped closer to Stephanie and put my hand on her back. I felt her muscles tense underneath the thin satin camisole, but then she relaxed. I rubbed her back in a small circle, enjoying the feel of the material against her skin.
When I realized what I was doing, I dropped my hand like she was on fire and hoped this would all end soon. T.J. glared. Stephanie looked up at me with those big brown eyes, wondering why I stopped.
Swan kept up with the eyebrow wiggles.
T.J was obviously pissed and looked like she was ready to rip off my nipples, but Suzie had forgotten all about me and was already wandering away, hitting up some goof-ball with a twig stuck through his nose for a smoke.
“Oh, God. Suzie!†She shouted. “Goddamnit, knock it off!â€Â
T.J. gave me another look that told me she was willing to make me eat my nards, but took off to babysit her friend, who was now busy groping Twig-boy. We all watched T.J. wobble away in her high heels. She was probably just as drunk as Suzie.
I doubted either of them would remember much in the morning.
I took Stephanie by the hand. Her palm was warm and moist. I thought that maybe she’d pull away from me, but she scooted even closer, brushing up against my hips, and clenched my fingers tight. I sighed and finally answered Swan.
“I don’t think so. Maybe some other time.â€Â
“Cool. All right, then.†Swan noticed our hands, shook the camera. “I’m gonna get us a movie.†He smiled, having to look about four feet down just to see Stephanie’s face, and he actually bowed. His eyes were wide and bloodshot. “Y’all have a good night.â€Â
A few feet away, T.J. was trying to pull Suzie off the sidewalk, where she was flopping around, trying to unbuckle Twig-boys’ belt. T.J. started shouting for Swan to come and help.
“Lovely ladies, huh?†He said, and looked at me, glanced at my hand, knotted in Stephanie’s. “Hey, man…†he nudged me. “Told you.â€Â
Stephanie didn’t notice; she was too busy watching the spectacle going on down the street. But I flipped him off anyway. Swan laughed and went to go gather his girls. I almost felt sorry for him, but I figured he’d made his bed. Then my belly gurgled, and I led Stephanie into the restaurant.
I didn’t see how Swan made out. Or Twig-boy either, for that matter. However, I did see the movie later. And it turned out that I was right: neither of the girls remembered anything later.
Anyway…
Once we got past the crowd, I tried to apologize to Stephanie for the mess she just dealt with outside.
“Sorry,†I whispered. “I didn’t think anyone would be here.â€Â
“That’s okay.â€Â
Stephanie didn’t seem too concerned about the scene she’d just witnessed. She just shrugged, like things like that were supposed to happen when you’re downtown at three in the morning, hanging out with your crazy boss, who you’ve know all of a month.
“So, um…†She looked up at me. “Was that your…girlfriend?â€Â
“Ha.†I said. “No.â€Â
“Oh. Good.â€Â
I gave her a sideways look, wondering what exactly that meant, but she was staring at a huge painting of the last supper, with Christ and his disciples depicted as 70’s era punk rockers, that covered one of the back walls. I couldn’t read what she was thinking from the expression on her face.
“Can I help you?â€Â
A big lesbian with a white tuxedo shirt unbuttoned down to her waist and a pink fish tattooed on her neck took my name and asked if we’d like to eat at the bar. I told her no, and, just like I figured, a few minutes later she had us seated across a table from each other, looking at menus. She never even bothered to ask to see our I.D.
Someone had scribbled the names of all the dishes in overlapping circles on construction paper, so to read the menu you had to turn the page around in your hands. I glanced across at Stephanie, who was fidgeting with her menu and looking around, taking the whole experience in.
The tables were mostly arranged in a series of long benches, like picnic tables, lined up in rows. A few booths for larger groups were scattered next to the windows. A heavy dance beat was thumping out from the bar area in back. A blue cloud of cigarette smoke mixed with the haze emanating from the kitchen grill. Waiters shouted out orders over the noise of the crowd for oyster shooters and carried leftovers back to departing customers wrapped in tinfoil and sculpted into animal shapes. I saw several ducks and lobsters sitting on partially cleared tables. The cooks rang a cowbell with each order up.
It was a little noisy.
Our waiter ambled over, tucked his tie into his apron and squatted down on his haunches next to Stephanie. He was eye-level with her tits. The air-conditioning was on full-blast and her nipples were hard, poking through her camisole. I noticed him sneaking looks while he reached across and pointed out dinner recommendations from her menu.
Stephanie ordered the spicy-mac. I ordered two oyster shooters and a large Creole salad (whatever that is) with grilled rabbit and peppered ‘gator meat, and iced-tea’s for both of us.
Standing up, the waiter took our menus and shouted towards the kitchen. “Twooystershooters!â€Â
“Twooyster shooters!†The kitchen shouted back, and then he was off to fetch our drinks.
Stephanie was grinning at me, said something I didn’t quite catch.
“What?†I shouted.
We had to lean over the table to hear each other. She bent close, giving me a great view of her boobs.
“What’s wrong with oyster shooters?â€Â
“They’re all slimy and gross! That’s what’s wrong.â€Â
“Well, yeah, they are all slimy, that’s true. But what’s wrong with that?â€Â
She made a face and stuck out her tongue. It was a cute tongue; tiny and pink. For a second, I imagined sucking on it, and said, “What? You know, there’s lots of good stuff that’s slimy and gross.â€Â
“Yeah, well, I don’t think so.â€Â
“Seriously.â€Â
“Like what?†She asked, all innocence. This conversation was starting to go somewhere dangerous, and I knew it.
That’s when our waiter returned with my shooters. He plunked them down in front of me; two tiny cocktail glasses filled with slimy, gross looking things about the size of my ears, drenched in cocktail sauce, butter and lemon juice. He set down a lit candle then stepped back, waved his order book and shouted, “Two oyster shooters! Ladies and gentlemen, if you would direct your attention to my two friends here…!â€Â
Oops. I’d forgotten about this part.
“Folks as we all know, oysters have always been thought to enhance a man’s potency…â€Â
Everyone cheered.
Stephanie’s cheeks turned pink.
“And this fine gentleman is willing to enjoy not just one oyster shooter. Oh, no. He’s willing to guzzle two of nature’s own bounty of love! Let’s all give him a hand and wish this gentleman’s libido long, robust health!â€Â
He stood back a step and began to applaud.
Stephanie looked like she wanted to crawl under a rock.
The applause turned into chants. I picked up one of the glasses and saluted the crowd, then knocked it back. The crowd cheered again.
Wow, that was good.
I pushed the other shooter over to Stephanie, and shouted, “Your turn.â€Â
“Oh, no…†She held her hands out, shook them at the little glass. “No way.â€Â
Our waiter bent over and asked, “What’s her name?â€Â
She was shaking her head. I gave her a wicked look and told him.
“C’mon everybody!†The waiter was pacing, working the crowd. “It looks like our friend Stephanie needs some encouragement!â€Â
The chant started again…
“Go, go, go…â€Â
Stephanie stared at me, then at the grayish-pink chunk stuck to the side of the glass.
“Go, go, go…â€Â
She grinned weakly and picked up the cup. Then she took a deep breath, pinched her nose shut and choked the slippery contents down.
The crowd erupted with applause as she squeezed her eyes shut and swallowed. She made a few more faces and almost turned purple, but when she finally got the whole thing down, she came up for air smacking her lips, her eyes watering.
Our waiter patted her on the shoulder and moved on to torture another table.
“Okay, so it wasn’t too bad,†she said, and guzzled half a glass of water.
“See?†I grinned. “Told you.â€Â
“Yeah, well, I’m not eating another one.â€Â
The waiter was heading back our way, loaded down with a tray loaded with plates and drinks.
“That’s okay. Dinner’s here anyway.â€Â
“Why do you like those things?†she asked, while our server plunked down huge bowls of food.
I thought about that for a second, and then decided, what the hell.
Go with the flow.
“Well, see, I’m almost twenty two, you know? I’m getting a little older…†I poured a light, peppery dressing on my veggies and dug into my salad with all the gusto a starving man could muster. “My libido probably needs all the help it can get.â€Â
“Oh, really?â€Â
“Mm-hm,†I mumbled around a mouthful of salad.
She tucked that stray hair behind her ear, peeked up through her bangs and gave me that crooked little smile I was beginning to like so much.
We made small talk for a while, relaxed and enjoyed dinner.
It was during dessert, while we were halfway through two cups of strong coffee and an enormous slice of strawberry cheesecake, that she abruptly looked up and asked, “So…what other slimy, gross things do you like?â€Â
I called for the check.
***
“Do you live around here?â€Â
We were squeezed into my car again, the breeze blowing through the open sunroof, heading back uptown.
“Yeah, my place is just down that way.â€Â
“Oh,†she said, staring out the window.
“Would you…like to come over for a little while?â€Â
The invitation sounded lame, even to me, and I was already kicking myself mentally. But Stephanie rolled her head my way and gave me the smile.
“Okay…â€Â
***
“Well, here we are.â€Â
I unlocked my front door and flipped on the light switch. The lights blinked and then blew out completely. I swore while Stephanie laughed.
“Well,†I sighed. “Come on in.â€Â
I lived in the southeast area of town, not far from school, in a big old house that had been split into three separate dwellings. My apartment took up the entire middle floor of the house and ran in a complete circle, starting from the landing I shared with Sarah, the girl who lived upstairs.
I held my finger to my lips, and pointed to another door up the short flight of steps. “We have to be a little quiet…â€Â
“Okay,†Stephanie whispered back.
My door opened into a front room with lots of floor-to-ceiling windows that I used as my editing room. The rest of the apartment wrapped all the way around, through a living room with a fireplace, a big dining room, a small eating nook and a huge kitchen with a pantry, then into my bedroom and on into the bathroom. I guided Stephanie inside.
“Sit tight. I’ll go hit the breaker.â€Â
“Okay.â€Â
The ground level portion of the house had been converted into a community bike shop back in the seventies, and the aging hippies that ran the place used the stairwell that ran from the basement through the middle of the house, all the way upstairs as a storage room. They often hung out in the shop and worked on their bikes until two or three in the morning, until either I started yelling at them to shut the hell up, or Sarah started hucking shoes at the walls around the stairs. Sarah had an old, orange tabby cat named Barnaby that would stumble around with a contact high from all the pot smoke that wafted up through the air vents in the floors.
Home, sweet home.
I dealt with the lack of heat in the winter, and lots of bugs and the mice in the summer, because I lived smack-dab in the center of everywhere I needed to be. And the apartment was huge, and dirt cheap for the area. It gave me a lot of space, and as beat up as it was, I kind of liked it.
I groped my way into the pantry and flipped the breaker switch, then made a mental note to call the landlord about the problem again. The lights had been blowing out all through the building for the last week or so, and so far, no one had come out to fix it.
“There,†I called out, and followed a dull glow back into the front room.
Stephanie was wandering around looking at some framed black and white photographs on the wall in my front room. They were series of nudes of Linda that I took right after high school, when I thought I wanted to be a photographer or an illustrator, instead of a filmmaker.
“There are really good.â€Â
“Thanks.â€Â
She looked at me. “You took them?â€Â
“Yep.â€Â
She was quiet a second. I stood there next to her, watching her look.
“I like them a lot.â€Â
“Thanks.â€Â
“Do you still…take pictures?â€Â
I shook my head. “Not much, anymore. I’m too busy.â€Â
“Oh.†She sounded almost disappointed. “That’s too bad.â€Â
I gave her a look over my shoulder as she followed me into the living room. I turned on another light, a lamp this time, and held my breath.
No problem. A small miracle, but the wiring held up.
“Can I get you something to drink?â€Â
“Okay.â€Â
“Tea all right?â€Â
I think she was hoping for something stronger.
“Sure.â€Â
She sat down on the futon sofa; put her bag down on the floor. I’d dropped mine in the front room, next to the door; the same place as always. I poured us each a glass of tea from a pitcher I’d made and left in the refrigerator. I put the pitcher back and peeked down the little hallway that separated the kitchen from my living room.
“I hope you like yours sweet…?†I couldn’t remember how she took her drink at the restaurant.
“Please…â€Â
I could see her from where I stood at the kitchen counter. She was checking out my house, just like I was checking her out. I grabbed our glasses and walked back into the living room.
She smiled up at me from the couch and took her glass with both hands.
“Here you go…â€Â
“Thanks.â€Â
“So…†I took a sip and wondered how to handle this. Having this eighteen year-old girl in my house. This nice, pretty employee of mine, casually sitting on my futon in her underwear, checking out nude pictures of my freaky teacher and drinking my tea and whose parents were home asleep with absolutely no idea where she was…
I just kept thinking, over and over, like there was a little devil sitting on one shoulder: She has huge boobs…
And then, the dorky little angel on my other shoulder would say something like: You know if something happens, you’re gonna lose your job, and her dad’s gonna hunt you down...
Little Devil: Of course somethings gonna happen, you idiot. She’s here in her underwear, well, half in her underwear, anyway. So get it over with. Go ahead and make a move, Slick…
Little Angel: But she’s…chunky. You’ve never liked chunky girls…
Little Devil: She’s not chunky, she’s just…juicy, like a nice, ripe pear, or a plum, or some kind of melon, maybe…
Little Angel: Yeah, okay. Now that you mention it, I can see the pear thing…
“Sooo…†I said, trying to block out the goofy debate going on in my head. “How about a movie?â€Â
“Okay!†She bent over and dug around in her bag. “I got one right before we left work…â€Â
She handed me a DVD case. I plopped the disk in the player without even looking at it, used the remote to turn on my television. I sat down on the floor by her legs with my back propped up against the wood base of the futon. I took another sip of tea, used the glass to cover up the bulge in my crotch, and leaned my head back into the cushions.
Oh, God…
The movie started, and twenty minutes in, I still had no idea what it was about. I was too busy trying to watch Stephanie’s reflection in the TV screen. I heard her yawn, and the futon creaked as she curled up behind me.
The clock on the wall told me it was well after four in the morning. I watched people moving around in the movie, talking and doing whatever the script had them do, but I wasn’t paying any attention at all to what was going on. I could hear her breathing, slow and regular, and I could feel it on the back of my neck.
I turned to find her lying down with her head pillowed on her hands. Once again, her lips were just inches away from mine. She was wide awake, and she was staring at me again.
“Hi,†I said.
“Hi,†she smiled.
“Sleepy?†I asked.
“A little,†she nodded.
“Do you want to finish the movie?â€Â
“Not really.â€Â
I set my empty glass on the scuffed wood floor and pushed it out of the way, then I propped an arm on the edge of the futon and twisted until I could see her without having to crank my neck. We ended up even closer than before. Her breathing changed, sped up subtly, but I noticed. She licked her lips.
“So…did you sleep with whoever that was? In the pictures?â€Â
I hesitated a second before answering, then I nodded. “Yeah. I did.â€Â
“Who was she?â€Â
I felt a slow smile spread across my face.
“My high school French teacher.â€Â
She laughed.
“I’m serious.â€Â
“No way.â€Â
“Okay, don’t believe me.â€Â
“Really?†Stephanie lifted her head a bit in surprise. “You slept with your teacher?â€Â
Oh, yeah, I thought. If you only knew what I did with my teacher. I managed another smug grin. She shook her head and relaxed again, squirming to get comfy. That stray wisp of hair spread across her cheek. I reflexively reached over and tucked it behind her ear, brushed her cheek lightly with my fingertips. Her skin was warm and soft.
She caught her breath and closed her eyes.
I guess I’d made my move. In the back of my head, the Little Devil, Little Angel assholes kicked their running commentary into overdrive.
I took a deep breath myself, and started playing with her hair. It was thick and straight and soft as silk. I smoothed her hair down, away from her face, using the tips of my fingers like a comb, and toyed with a small, silver hoop earring that dangled from her earlobe.
Stephanie sighed, and her eyes fluttered open. Her chest was rising and falling quickly, and her high cheekbones had turned a rosy shade of pink.
The Little Devil was screaming at me.
Kiss her, dammit…
And then,
No no no, wait a minute, don’t do anything…
I told the annoying Little Angel to go to hell and followed directions…
Our lips touched, and Stephanie moaned softly, the sound emanating from deep in her throat. Her mouth parted slightly, and her little tongue flicked into mine. I slipped my hand around the back of her neck and scooted closer, and she turned onto her side.
I felt a hand lightly touch my chest, then another, and then she wrapped her arms tight around my neck and pulled me close. We kissed for a bit, and I let the hand that was stroking her hair drift down her neck and over her shoulder, down her back. She moaned again and kissed me harder.
I pushed her the rest of the way over and rested the flat of my hand on her hip, ran my palm slowly up along the side of her belly, again enjoying the feel of her skin under the smooth satin of her camisole. She moaned again and was panting hard when I slipped my hand over her breast and gave it a nice, gentle squeeze. .
“Oh, God…†she whispered.
Stephanie’s eyes flew open. She stopped breathing, her back arched and her whole body jerked up hard, shoving her breast into the palm of my hand. She pushed at my shoulders and her body trembled underneath me.
I froze solid, hoping I just hadn’t made a horrible mistake. Her nipple, hard as a little pebble, tickled the palm of my hand.
And then she relaxed, collapsing back onto the cushions, and almost growled.
“You okay…?†I whispered.
She nodded, and then hooked my neck with her arms again and pulled me back down. My legs were falling asleep, and I had to shift to a more comfortable position. Not as easy as it looks in the movies, to twist around and smoothly keep kissing. Our teeth clicked together.
I had to pull away a little and stretch my aching legs. Stephanie was squirming a little, her legs sawing back and forth against each other.
“Come up here with me…â€Â
I raised my eyebrows. She pulled at my shirt and licked her lips, then scooched back as far as she could, but I shook my head.
“There’s not enough room…â€Â
“Please…â€Â
I grabbed her by the wrists and pulled her down onto the floor, right on top of me. She giggled and pulled the throw pillows off the couch with her. We thrashed around on my oriental rug for a bit, until I hooked a leg over one of hers and rolled halfway on top of her. I ran my finger lightly down the side of her face, back down her neck. I hooked the thin strap of her camisole under my finger and gave her a quizzical look.
“It’s all right…I want you to…†she breathed.
I wasn’t sure if that made it okay, but I pulled the strap down over her shoulder anyway. The thin material slipped over the top of her breast and then down to her belly.
I smiled. There it was. A big, firm, real live boob.
Finally.
Stephanie was breathing hard now. I smiled reassuringly and kissed her gently on the lips and cupped her breast with the palm of my hand, squeezing, tickling the tip of her nipple with my thumb. I kissed her cheeks and her forehead, and then trailed my lips to her ear and nibbled on her earlobe.
She hissed with pleasure and her back arched again, driving her thigh into my groin. I ran my tongue down her neck, nipped at her collarbone, and I slowly inched my way down even further. She was wiggling all over now. She had her fingers tangled in my hair, and she cried out softly with every inch my lips traveled.
I squeezed her breast hard, evoking a breathy sigh, and gently, lightly nipped the pink little rosebud crowning her tit, feeling the rubbery flesh between my teeth. I took as much of her breast into my mouth as I could, making her gasp and pull me even closer.
“Oh, God…â€Â
I raised my head a bit, keeping her nipple between my teeth, stretching her breast, and then let go, letting it plop down. I kissed and sucked and pulled the other strap down until her camisole was bunched around her waist and I had both of her breasts free in my hands. She was twisting underneath me; pulling my face hard into her chest and rubbing my crotch with her leg.
Her little cries were coming louder now, and my Little Devil decided it was time to make yet another move.
I slipped my right hand under the hem of her camisole and tickled her belly. She moaned and pushed closer against me. I found the top button of her pants and yanked until the button popped. I pulled and was rewarded by the unmistakable sound of her zipper coming undone.
I casually kept sucking on her tits and gently slipped my hand down into the crotch of her pants. I was moving as slowly as I could, trying to feel my way along, not knowing how far she’d let me go.
It was a tight fit, so I used my leg to help pull her pants down a little. Then I let myself explore a bit, dividing my attention between the huge pair of nice, firm boobs up by my mouth, and the warm, moist coochie down at my fingertips.
She was wearing a lacy pair of panties. I slipped my fingers under the elastic band and tickled my way down, past the thatch of soft, curly pubic hair. She gasped again, and I froze, waiting. She didn’t try to slap my hand away like I’d half expected; instead, she pulled me back up by the hair and planted her lips back on mine.
“Mm-mmm…â€Â
Her panties were wet already, and I went back to work while we kissed. I found her pussy, nice and slick, and her little nub. I lightly tickled her clit, rubbing it with my finger, and Stephanie went crazy underneath me.
She cried out and pushed my face against her neck, squirming as I slipped a finger inside her…
“Oh, God…Yeah…â€Â
Her back arched again, and it gave me a little better access. I slid the first joint of another finger into her, and her entire body stiffened and started trembling. She clutched at me with her arms, running her hands over my hair, over and over.
“Oh…oh…â€Â
I took my time, fingering her. She was so tight…
And then she stopped breathing again. She had my head pressed tightly against her chest, and I could hear her heart racing. Suddenly, I felt a tiny gush of moisture, and my hand was soaked from the fingers up.
“Okay,†I said, and stood up. “That’s it.â€Â
She up at me, shocked. “W-what? Did I do something wrong…?â€Â
I laughed and shook my head. I was so horny I felt light-headed.
“What’s wrong?â€Â
“Nothing. I’m just not going to do this here on the floor.â€Â
Stephanie nodded and picked herself up, scooting back onto her elbows.
“Okay. I mean…â€Â
I could see the disappointment in her eyes. For a split-second, I wondered if she’d been in this situation – or one like it – before.
“…I understand if you don’t want to…â€Â
She started to pull up the straps to her cami. I shook my head again.
“Hey, quit that.â€Â
She stopped and looked up at me.
“What…?â€Â
I bent over and gently pulled her hands away. “Leave those alone. I worked all night for that view.â€Â
Her eyes flashed and she gave me that grin. I smiled and reached for her, and then I picked her up and carried her, giggling, into the bedroom.
***
I dropped her, laughing, onto my futon (yes, I have one in my bedroom too. It’s got a nice, thick mattress and rumpled sheets. The one in the living room is way too beat up to really sleep on.). She bounced around, getting comfy.
Then I pushed her flat on her back.
I grabbed her ankles, lifted her legs up, and then I ripped her pants off and tossed them on the floor. Her legs flumped back onto the bed, and I yanked off my shirt.
Now we were both breathing hard.
She braced herself up on her elbows and watched me strip. I dropped my pants, kicked them off into the corner with my shoes. I followed those with my socks, and suddenly I was standing there naked except for my underpants.
Stephanie watched me slip those off with wide eyes, eyes that got even wider when I stood back up and that Little Devil (who wasn’t quite so little anymore) sprung out at full attention. She licked her lips and then glanced up at me. I think she smiled for a second, and then her eyes traveled back down to my crotch.
She didn’t move a muscle. She just kept licking her lips, and I thought, okay then, here we go…
I grabbed her by the ankles again and pulled.
“Hey!†She squealed, and slid down to the edge of the bed.
Her panties showed off a lot of her thick, muscular thigh. The panties were cute and sexy and I wanted to tear them off in the worst way you can imagine.
I wrapped her legs around my neck and leaned over, kissing her lightly on the mouth and her breasts. I rolled her camisole up and tongued her belly-button while I hooked my fingers under the waistband of her panties.
I had her bent at an angle, with her feet pointed up at the ceiling. Her ass was already lifted off the bed, enough that I was able to back off a little and pull her panties over her butt. I slowly rolled them up the length of her thighs.
And lo and behold: I was right again – the panties were so damp they stuck to her crotch before peeling away. I slipped them up over her smooth, muscular calves, and snagged them on her foot before they were off.
“There.†I grinned at her and tossed them onto the bed. “Finally.†Then I paused and had a nice, long look of my own.
She had a thick, trimmed triangle of dark brown pubic hair. Her skin was smooth and soft, with tan lines outlining the shape of her swimsuit. I could see the soft outer lips of her pussy, and I felt my cock throbbing, poking out between her legs. She was still staring at it intently, giving me quick, shy little glances.
“Can…can I touch it?â€Â
I smiled. “Sure.â€Â
She tentatively reached out and cupped my shaft with a soft hand.
“It’s so…so big. And hard…â€Â
I blinked, and tried not to laugh. I thought it might ruin the moment if I did.
She gripped my dick with both hands and stroked me gently. I twitched, and she looked up nervously. “Did that hurt?â€Â
“Oh, no,†I said, and let out a breath. “That just feels really good.â€Â
“It does?â€Â
She looked so earnest, staring up at me with those big brown eyes and my cock clenched in her hands. I smiled again. “Yeah, it does.â€Â
Suddenly, I had to kiss her. Over and over.
I pushed her back on the bed and smothered her with my body; I felt her breasts flatten against my chest, heard her moan as base of my cock slipped up against her pussy, and felt her legs lightly wrap around my waist as she sucked on my tongue. I pushed her arms over her head, pinning her down, and kissed her mouth hard.
“I want you so bad…†She whispered. “Please…â€Â
I started rocking, gently shoving with my hips, lubricating my cock with her pussy juice. She hid her face, burying it against my chest. I rubbed my face in her hair and lifted my hips up, dragging my dick along her pussy. I let my weight push me into her, feeling her pussy lips open and swallow the head of my cock. I heard her gasp, and her legs clamped around my ass, pulling me closer. I was just barely an inch or so inside her, and I wanted more. And then there was a hitch in the works.
I shoved with my hips, driving into her, marveling how tight she was, started moving slowly, pushing harder and harder, working my way deeper inside her. And then she cried out in pain and started bucking underneath me. I felt something tear inside her, and suddenly I slid in another couple inches. Stephanie bit my shoulder hard.
Hard enough to draw blood.
“Hey!â€Â
Stephanie had her eyes squeezed shut tight, and she was crying.
“What’s wrong?†I let go of her wrists and stopped moving. “Did I hurt you?â€Â
She was biting her lip, nodding and shaking her head at the same time.
Then it hit me, the same time she managed to catch her breath enough to let me in on the secret.
“It’s okay…I’m okay…†She cupped my face with her hands and kissed me. A tear trickled out of the corner of her eye, fell down her cheek. “It’s just…you’re…this is my first time, and you’re so big…â€Â
The Little Angel popped up on the headboard of the bedframe, waggling a tiny finger at me. I could hear the lecture already…
See? I told you so, you big, dumb jerk. You should’ve known better. This is what happens when you take advantage of a sweet little teenager. She’s a flippin’ virgin, for God sakes. So you take her home and pork her? And what about a condom? Huh? You didn’t even think of that, did you, now that you’ve got half your dick buried in her pussy?
Oy.
I closed my eyes and tried to tune him out again. Stephanie was petting me, still giving me little, quick kisses all over my face while she explained.
“…it just…hurt a little. But I’m okay…â€Â
I thought maybe I could give her an easy way out. “Steph, maybe we should just stop…â€Â
“No!†She wrapped her arms around me and held me like she was afraid I’d just get up and walk out of the apartment. “I mean, just go slow, okay? Like you were?â€Â
“Steph…†I thought about my sexual history, and gritted my teeth. “I don’t have any condoms. I don’t want you to…â€Â
“I won’t get pregnant. I’m on the pill. Devin, it’s okay. Really. I don’t want to stop…please. Will you kiss me some more?â€Â
I’d slowly slipped even further into her, until I was buried inside her. Her stomach muscles were twitching under my belly, and I could feel the walls of her pussy clenching and unclenching around me. She was still crying a little.
I wiped a tear from her cheek and she smiled up at me. She stroked my chest. I grinned back, and the Little Devil popped up and shoved the Little Angel off the bed. He smirked and gave me a big thumbs up, and then he disappeared in a tiny poof of smoke.
Good riddance.
Stephanie was frantically kissing me again. I heard birds chirping outside, and the first rays of sunshine were just creeping under the bamboo blinds covering my windows.
I smoothed her hair back from her forehead and looked into her eyes.
“Please, she whispered. “Please…â€Â
Oh, well. In for a penny, in for a pound, is what someone used to say. I guess sleep would have to wait for a while longer. I rolled over and pulled with me. The breath went out of her in a whoosh as she settled on top of me. I wrapped my hands around her waist and pushed myself all the way into her. She braced her hands on my chest and leaned over a little.
“Okay,†I said. “Let’s try this again.â€Â
***
We took it slow and easy. I let Stephanie experiment, do whatever she wanted to, really, and in the end, everything seemed to work out just fine. Eventually, she cried out and collapsed on my chest. Afterwards, I managed to stay awake long enough to realize that we’d actually climaxed together.
Amazing.
I woke up a little after on Saturday, flat on my back with Stephanie asleep on top of me, with her head pillowed on my chest, and her hand tucked under her chin. We were in exactly the same position we finished in the night before. My cock was still wedged into her pussy, rock hard, ready to go.
Maybe later, I told myself.
I watched her sleep for a little while before the pressure of her hips pushing on my bladder forced me to move. I tried to disengage and shift out from under her as gently and slowly as I could, and managed to slip off the bed without waking her up. There was a nice big wet spot where I’d been sleeping, a little bit of it stained slightly pink.
Stephanie groaned and rolled over, snuggling my pillow. It was going to be a hot day. The temperature in my apartment was already heating up. She was perspiring, and I felt sticky and smelly myself.
I covered her with the sheet and caressed her shoulder. She mumbled something that sounded like ‘I love pumpkins’, and curled up into a tight ball under the covers. I turned on the air conditioner to a low rumble and padded into the bathroom. I relieved myself with a hearty sigh, sending a steady stream into the toilet for what seemed like about a half an hour, and then took a cool shower.
She was still dead asleep when I got out, so I dressed and went out for a quick run. On my way back, I stopped off at a market a few blocks from my apartment and picked up some stuff for a quick breakfast. Bagels and cream cheese, fruit and two freshly blended berry and banana smoothies.
I walked the rest of the way back, cooled off, and stretched for a few minutes, soaking in the sunshine, talking with the hippies for a while. All the late night noise and bong smoking sessions aside, they were pretty nice people. Eric, one of the younger guys, did most of the mechanical work on my car. He basically kept it running in exchange for my filming a few TV spots for the shop. I thought it was a fair exchange. They were all concerned that they’d made too much noise that morning and kept me up. I guess they’d heard me and Stephanie thumping around upstairs.
I just grinned and assured them everything was cool, that I’d just had company over for the night.
“Really, man?†Eric grinned, flicked his dreadlocks over a really tan shoulder He reeked of pot and patchouli oil and body odor. “A chick?â€Â
“Uh-huh.â€Â
“Cool, dude. You gonna share?â€Â
I think he was serious. “Nope.â€Â
“Bein’ stingy, man. Bummer.â€Â
By the time I called it quits, I was feeling pretty loose; nice and sweaty and relaxed. I picked up my groceries and went inside. Sarah had already picked up the mail and left the house by the time I got back. She’d drawn a smiley face on all my bills and left everything on the little table in the landing. Her cat zoomed past my ankles when I opened the door, and ran off to see Eric.
“Hey, little dude! Just in time for some grub…â€Â
I swept up my mail as I unlocked my door and dumped the envelopes on my desk. I’d sort through all the junk later on. I had better things to do this afternoon than shuffling money around to pay my cable bill.
In the living room, the television was still turned on, and the DVD player was whirring away, repeating the title sequence over and over for the movie we didn’t finish. Wondering what it was, I peeked at the title, and still didn’t know what the damn thing was about. It looked like a chick flick.
I shut everything off, and kept moving. I dropped the bag of food on my kitchen counter, and peeked into my bedroom to see if my houseguest had stirred yet.
Stephanie was still asleep, her thick, curvy body twisted up in the thin sheet, her hair spread out over the pillows. I could hear her soft breathing from where I stood. Lying there with the sun shining through the windows, bathing her in a bright, golden light, the scene reminded me of the subject of a painting, or a photograph.
Or maybe even the beginning shot of a movie. I grinned and snuck back into the kitchen to make breakfast.
***
Stephanie finally stirred when I was cutting the bagels. I heard her yawn, and I turned around. She sat up and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, stretched her arms out towards the ceiling. The sheet fell into a puddle in her lap. She finished her monster stretch and looked sleepily around with a disoriented look on her pretty face.
She seemed a little panicked, but she looked great; actually, she looked better naked than she did in clothes, I thought. She had an unbelievable hourglass figure, with those great big tits and wide, round hips, and a remarkably tiny waist with just a trace of baby fat. If she kept on swimming, I figured the baby fat would disappear completely in another year or so.
She just was so short, clothes made her look plump; rounder than she really was. I was glad I got to see her like this. I couldn’t help but smile. The Little Devil got a little excited again, too.
She finally saw me and jumped.
“Oh!â€Â
“’Morning, Sleepyhead.†I grinned and walked into the bedroom with the food. “Actually, afternoon, but hey, close enough. It’s only one.â€Â
I sat on the side of the mattress. She scooted over and pulled the sheet up around her chest, tucking it under her armpits, toga-style.
“Morning.†She blinked at me and ran her fingers through her tangled hair. I offered her a smoothie. She stared at the cup a minute. “What’s that?â€Â
“Well, in my language, it’s called ‘a drink’.â€Â
She glared at me.
“Here, I’ll show you…â€Â
I took a big gulp of my smoothie, swallowed and wiggled my eyebrows.
“See?â€Â
She frowned. “It’s not coffee.â€Â
I sighed and picked up a strawberry. “Not a morning person, are we?â€Â
She grunted and took a sip. “Mm. Hey. That’s good.â€Â
“I know. Remember, I’m an old man. I’m chock full of arcane knowledge.†I held out the strawberry. “And this is something I call ‘fruit’.â€Â
She laughed and took a bite. “Mmm…â€Â
Juice ran down her chin. I leaned over and licked it off. She groaned and shivered, and I kissed her once, twice, tasting the sweet berry in her mouth. When we parted, she was smiling again. And I’d unhooked the sheet.
I let it fall back into her lap.
“Remember, I worked hard to get you naked. No sheets.â€Â
“Oh. Right. Okay.†She ate the rest of the strawberry and looked at me. “So what about you? Why do you get to have clothes on?â€Â
“We’ll fix that in a minute. Let’s eat first. I’m starving.â€Â
“You know,†she said around a mouthful of bagel. “This is the second time you’ve fed me. I always thought first dates were never supposed to be food dates.â€Â
“Who said this was a date? I’m just giving you a ride home from work.â€Â
That got a sassy look. “Oh.â€Â
“Speaking of which, shouldn’t you let somebody know you’re all right?â€Â
“It’s okay.†She waved her hand, chewing. “My mom just thinks I’m staying at Trisha’s.â€Â
Oho. A lightbulb went on in the cobwebby space I called a brain. I heard echoes of the Little Devil, laughing at me. Had this all been planned? My, my…what a sneaky girl.
“Trisha’s,†I nodded, and took a bite of my bagel. “Right.â€Â
“So, what do you want to do today?â€Â
I chewed thoughtfully. “Well, I thought maybe I’d Roger you roundly some more, before you have to go to work.â€Â
“Okay.†She blushed. “Don’t you have to work tonight?â€Â
“Nope.†I shook my head. “Lindsay opened, and Jennifer’s there to help you tonight. I actually took the weekend off. Last night was just an emergency.â€Â
“Oh.†She looked dejected for a second, but brightened and said, “I could come back after work…?â€Â
“I’m sorry, Steph.†I didn’t want to let her down, but I shook my head. “But I’ve already got plans.â€Â
“Oh.â€Â
She frowned and turned away from me. Her body language killed me.
“Hey, quit that.â€Â
I tipped her chin back towards me.
“We’ve still got a couple hours. Right?â€Â
“Right.â€Â
I set the empty dishes on the floor and pushed her back into bed.
“So,†I murmured, kissing her. I let my hands drift over her belly and snuggled close. “Let’s have some fun while we can.â€Â
***
About an hour later, Stephanie asked if she could use the shower. I dozed off as soon as the water started running, and woke up to find her standing at the foot of the bed, drying her hair with a towel and staring at me with that impish little grin. I glanced down to where she was looking, and surprised to find myself sticking straight up.
“It just does that?†She asked. “Whenever?â€Â
I shrugged. I was tired enough that I really didn’t think I could get it up, but there it was. My penis in all it’s glory.
“Maybe I could call in sick.â€Â
“You…†I groaned and rolled over. “…are going into work, like you said you would. And I’m going to take a shower before I drive you there.â€Â
She frowned, limped over to the edge of the bed and eased herself down.
“Sore?â€Â
“Mm. Yeah, kind of.†She nodded at the messy sheets. “Did I do that?â€Â
“Yep. Pretty much.â€Â
“Eww.â€Â
She made a face and pulled a clean pair of panties and a bra out of her bag.
A-Ha! I thought. The sex conspiracy has been confirmed! I watched her dress for a moment, and then snuck in to take a shower before we had to leave.
Now I just hoped I could be as sneaky.
***
Nancy stared at the clothes in her closet and wondered what the hell she thought she was doing. She had no idea what to wear. What was she thinking when she said she’d go to dinner with this…this kid?
She sighed and shoved the clothes hangers back and forth on the wood rail. It would help if she’d thought to ask where they might be going. Frustrated, she stood with her arms crossed under her breasts, chewing on a fingernail, weighing her options.
Someplace casual, probably.
Maybe the pink dress? It’s pretty. And it would be cool, which would be nice; it’s so hot out…
No…bad choice. Then she’d have to change her underwear again. She glanced at the alarm clock on the nightstand. It was almost five. He was going to be here to pick her up any minute, and she couldn’t even decide on her underwear. Shit.
Why did I have him come here? I could’ve picked someplace for us to meet…God, she thought. I hope he doesn’t think a burger and fries from a drive-through is dinner.
Maybe he won’t show up, and I won’t have to worry about this…
She heard a car pull up outside. The pit of her stomach did a flip-flop.
Oh, no. Not yet. I’m not ready.
The engine died and a door opened and closed. Nancy held her breath, listening to the footfalls patter up her walkway.
The footsteps got closer. She chewed her lip, waiting, her stomach in knots. The doorbell rang, and she groaned. Nancy ran over to the bedroom window and peeked out through the curtains.
There he was. Standing right on her doorstep. In broad daylight, waving at Jillian, her next door neighbor, who was out, watering her flowers. Jillian knew what was going on. She knew pretty much everything. All about Dan’s affairs, and their marriage, which was crumbling into shreds. Maybe it already had. They’d talked about Devin, too. Jillian had urged her to go on the date, have some fun. She thought it would be harmless and do her some good to get out, meet some new people.
Nancy wondered about that, and thought about her husband, a hundred miles away. Gone. Leaving her alone on their anniversary, for God’s sake.
The doorbell rang again. Jillian saw her peeking out the window, winked and waggled her garden hose. Nancy bit her lip. Suddenly she felt dizzy and a little weak in the knees.
He’ so…she chewed her fingernail, groping for the words. He’s so cute.
Outside, Jillian made a frantic little pushing motion towards the door. Devin was still there, trying to see into the house through the front window, nervously shifting from foot to foot. She looked him over, trying to get an idea of what he might have planned. He was just wearing a black t-shirt and jeans with some old sandals.
On her way back around the bed, she poked her head out into the hallway and shouted, “Be right there!â€Â
Okay, she thought. Casual it is.
***
I was running a little late after dropping Stephanie off at the store. Our goodbye’s were rather awkward, to say the least, and she definitely wanted more of a kiss than the quick peck on the cheek that I felt comfortable with, especially with both Lindsay and Jennifer staring at us while we sat in the car.
If she wasn’t going to be late for work, I think we’d still be sitting there.
I had to check Nancy’s address a couple times. She’d scribbled it down on a napkin with a felt tip marker while we were at the supermarket. The ink had bled, and I was having a hard time reading her handwriting. I half expected her to give me a bogus address. And when I finally found the house, I was pleasantly surprised to see her Range Rover parked in the driveway.
I parked next to the curb, got out and had a quick look around. She lived in a nice residential neighborhood less than a mile from the video store. Her house was nestled in the center of a tree-lined street, set back from the sidewalk and almost hidden behind two drooping willows planted on either side of her yard. The property was nice and neat, with a green, freshly mowed lawn that had just been watered. A detached two-car garage sat at the end of a long driveway.
I took a deep breath. Off to work I go…
An attractive middle-aged woman was watering a bed of flowers at the house next door. She stared at me like I had a big green booger hanging out of my nose as I walked up the steps and rang Nancy’s doorbell. She kept on staring too, until I finally just smiled and waved at her. Then she went back to drowning her flowers and shooting little glances at me over her shoulder.
Nobody answered the bell.
I started wondering again if Nancy had come to her senses when she realized I’d asked her out on a date. Or freaked out, better yet, and decided to hide from me. Even if it wasn’t really supposed to be a date, date. If you know what I mean.
I gave it a few seconds. No Nancy. It was dead quiet inside the house. A sweet, feminine voice floated over towards me, from off to my left. The lady with the hose was wagging it at me.
“She’s in there. I think she’s in back. Go ahead, ring it again.â€Â
“Okay…Thanks.â€Â
I smiled and pressed the doorbell. I heard the chime inside, stuck my hands in the pockets of my faded old Levi’s and shuffled my feet. This time when the chime faded away someone shouted a muffled, ‘Be right there!â€Â
A few more minutes ticked by. I paced the small porch and watched some kids race their bikes down the sidewalk. The flower lady kept careful watch over me. Making sure I didn’t steal the mailbox, or something. Finally, I saw a very curvy figure inside the house, walking down the hallway. Nancy opened the door and smiled sheepishly.
“Hi.†I said. “You look great.â€Â
“Thanks.â€Â
She looked lovely, dressed comfortably in a nice pink summer dress. That was great. My surprise evening with Stephanie hadn’t given me time to come up with plans for tonight, so I was going to be winging things a little bit.
I had some ideas, and I definitely knew where I wanted to end up, but everything really depended on Nancy. I had a pretty good feeling she was going to be at least a little uncomfortable, so I decided to keep the date on the fun side. I wanted to interact with her one-on-one, so choices like movies or the theater were both out by default. You can’t talk to someone sitting in a dark, noisy Cineplex. And Stephanie had been right when she’d mentioned that first dates should never be dinner dates. Not to begin with, anyway.
So what did that leave me?
Well, for one thing, she already seemed way too quiet. We’d have to fix that, get her in the spirit of things. I wasn’t beyond lubricating the gears a little, maybe plying her with a drink or two to help get the ball rolling, but I decided to wait. If it came down to that I’d be happy to use some booze, but I didn’t want Nancy to think I was trying to get her drunk.
We were already in the middle of an awkward moment. Nancy’s body language was pretty obvious. She was still standing in her doorway, with her arms crossed under her breasts, looking at everything and anything but me. It didn’t look like I was going to get an invitation to come inside, so I decided to get the ball rolling.
“Well,†I said, and held out my hand. “Shall we go?â€Â
She hesitated for just long enough for me to think she might turn and slam the door in my face. Instead, she grabbed a little clutch purse and a set of keys from a small table. Then she stepped out onto the porch and locked the door behind her. She steeled herself and offered me a smile.
“Okay. Ready.â€Â
She swept past me, ignoring my hand, and marched to my car. I followed in her wake and opened the passenger door for her. She sat and fastened her seatbelt, dropped her purse in her lap, primly folded her hands and stared straight out the window.
I walked around to my side of the car, wondering if I might need some booze tonight myself.
***
She actually started the conversation. It took about ten minutes of driving in icy silence, but by the time I hopped on the freeway heading downtown, she asked where we were going.
“Well, I was going to try and keep it a secret.â€Â
She stayed quiet, staring at me.
“Okay, okay. I thought we’d go see the new Disney on Ice.â€Â
That got a surprised blink. “You’re kidding, right?â€Â
“What? No. Why? I love skating puppets, don’t you?â€Â
That got a sly smile. I grinned over at her and changed lanes, accelerated onto the onramp that would take us towards the waterfront. I tried to keep a straight face.
“I figured that would be the last thing you’d expect.â€Â
She nodded. “You’d be right about that.â€Â
I got stuck behind an old, beat up Toyota belching dark smoke. The guy driving the deathtrap was moving ten miles an hour slower than anyone else and refused to move out of the fast lane. Little old ladies were lapping me. Then we ran into a bottleneck just before we crossed the river.
We inched along breathing fumes until I found an opening. I swung the VW back into the middle lane and we got ahead about thirty feet. Toyota Guy sneered at me as we drove by. I congratulated myself on being mature enough not to flip him off when I passed him.
Nancy piped up. I turned around to see her giving Toyota Guy the eye of death.
“People like that irritate me so much…grr.â€Â
“Grr?â€Â
“What? They make me angry.â€Â
“So you growl at them?â€Â
“What else?â€Â
“You could shoot ‘em,†I deadpanned.
She blinked at me again. I grinned and signaled, snuck over another lane. Our exit came right up and I pulled onto the bridge and crossed into downtown.
The traffic was awful, and just got worse.
Every summer the city throws a two-week long bash along the waterfront; a big festival with carnival rides and live music; booths with peddlers hawking all kinds of arts and crafts; and every kind of food and drink imaginable. The U.S. Navy docks several ships during the festival, offering tours and allowing the sailors some shore leave.
It took a little hunting, but I found a parking spot on the street, just up from where the food tents were pitched. Streams of people passed us in both directions. Music from a blues band rattled windows in the buildings around us.
“Here we are,†I said, and grabbed my keys. “Ready?†I asked.
She nodded.
“Then let’s go have some fun.â€Â
Nancy was staring out the window at a uniformed sailor groping a trashy young girl. They were stumbling down the street, his hand under her skirt, playing with her ass. They were oblivious to everyone around them.
She turned back to me, blushing.
“Okay.â€Â
I got out and opened her door for her, helped her out onto the sidewalk. I locked up and decided to try play being the gentleman again. I held out my arm, and this time she took it.
***
We followed the crowd strolling along the grassy walkway, browsing. Grubby kids ran through the crowd, getting underfoot and snarfing down cotton candy, huge elephant ears and hotdogs. I let Nancy take the lead. She negotiated the crowd and wandered from booth to booth, holding up knickknacks, slowly starting to relax.
“Mm. That’s nice,†I mumbled, trying to keep the sarcasm out of my voice. I failed miserably.
“You don’t like it.â€Â
“Well....â€Â
“Me either.†She sighed. “Maybe I’m just delirious.â€Â
“Lack of food?â€Â
She sniffed the air. “Something does smell really good.â€Â
I shrugged an apology at the guy in the booth and began steering Nancy towards the mouthwatering smells drifting our way.
She followed along, keeping much closer now. I couldn’t quite tell if she was finally comfortable with our ‘date’, or if she was just avoiding the crush of smelly bodies that were lined up five and six deep everywhere we looked. We bulled through the crowd and stopped at a nearly vacant bento grill.
The fragrance of chicken, fish and veggies speared on foot-long bamboo skewers, sizzling over an open flame was heavenly. We each ordered two pepper teriyaki chicken skewers with grilled vegetables and brown rice. When the cute Asian girl who was taking our order asked what we’d like to drink, Nancy surprised me by asking for a beer. I gave her a quick look and asked for the same.
I paid the girl and pocketed my change. Our food was ready to go in minutes. We grabbed forks and napkins and began eating as we wandered around, searching for a place to sit down.
“Wonder what’s going on?†Nancy pointed to a fair-sized crowd gathering along the railing at the edge of the waterfront, where the ships where anchored. Everyone was leaning over the rail, peering down at the river.
“Let’s go see.â€Â
I shouldered my way through, with Nancy holding onto my shirt. We leaned over the waist-high cement guardrail and stared around with everybody else. Except for a few small, recreational boats, I didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary. Nothing to attract so many people, anyway. I turned to the shirtless, sweaty teenager standing next to me and asked what it was everybody was so worked up about.
“Just wait, man, they’ll be back.â€Â
“Who?â€Â
“The strippers, man. A couple chicks and some dudes in a speedboat. Here. They had somebody giving these away. Check it out.â€Â
He handed me a slip of paper. A flyer advertising a nightclub. I glanced at it as he started jumping up and down, shouting and waving his shirt. Nancy held onto me as most of the crowd followed his lead. It felt like being right at the front of a mosh pit, except we weren’t being smashed into the edge of a stage. We were being pushed into a half a foot of concrete, and then there was a couple hundred feet of open space and freezing river below.
Nancy muttered, “Oh Jesus†in my ear, and she squeezed my bicep hard enough to make me wince.
I looked up. Out on the river a speedboat was roaring by the Navy ships. Two naked girls sat in the back of the boat, striking lewd poses. A muscle-bound guy with a cheesy 70’s style mustache and wearing nothing but ragged, short-short denim cutoffs and a pair of big, mirrored sunglasses piloted the boat. Another, skinny guy with a big, nappy afro and a video camera was with him in the front, filming as the girls teased the sailors and coyly struck their poses.
Nancy said something else I couldn’t hear and tugged on my sleeve. I nodded and kept watching.
Even as far away as we were from the boat, I recognized Suzie’s wild mane of kinky-curly red hair and T.J.’s tattoos. I didn’t know the guy at the wheel, but there was no mistaking Swan’s stick-like body attached to his huge mound of hair.
The horny sailors on the decks of the ships went ballistic as the speedboat cornered and raced back towards the docks, bouncing across its wake. They reached over the deck rails for the girls, screaming and shouting and throwing dollar bills out into the river.
Swan filmed that too.
“This is disgusting.†I heard Nancy that time, right before she turned around and started pushing back through the crowd. I took a last look at the flyer in my hand, hoping that Desiree got all the business she could handle over the next couple weeks. Either she, or Swan, or somebody had come up with a sweet gimmick. Pull a stunt like this in front of several hundred horny sailors? Wow. She’d be taking reservations for the rest of the festival.
Muscle Guy in the sunglasses shouted something over his shoulder at Swan, who nodded and shouted something back. I could see his afro bobbing in the breeze. And then Muscle Guy banked the boat in a tight curve and roared off.
The sweaty guy next to me pointed at something coming our way, fast, with sirens blaring. “Here come the cops again.â€Â
I watched the harbor patrol cruise by, vainly trying to chase down the speedboat, which was long gone. I crumpled Desiree’s flyer and went off to try and find Nancy. I hoped Desiree had her premiums paid up with the cops.
The crowd booed the end of the entertainment and slowly broke up behind me.
***
I found Nancy primly sitting on the top steps of a granite pedestal. The pedestal was the base of a large brass statue of a sailboat that the local city powers-that-be had commissioned to celebrate our cities’ storied maritime heritage. The statue had cost the city and taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars, and had been pretty spectacular when it was erected a couple years ago. Now, you could barely see the thing behind the wall of graffiti plastered over it.
To curb the ever-continuing vandalism, the very same powers-that-be had the statue fenced in, using more taxpayer money. Unfortunately, whoever installed the posts that secured the chain-link barrier cemented them in less than a foot from the statue itself, and the chain rope that was supposed to keep those spray can wielding taggers at bay was barely waist-high. The taxpayers threw a fit and heads rolled; but the chain stayed, the graffiti got worse, and eventually the city council turned a blind eye to the problem.
So here we were. At least the transients that usually occupied this section of the waterfront and all the used syringes had been cleaned away for the festival.
A pathetic effort, sure. But hey, at least we could sit down and stretch our legs out.
Nancy had finished her bento and was watching me approach with her head cocked to one side. She smiled mischievously at me and sipped her beer.
“Nice view?â€Â
“Yeah.†I plopped down next to her and took a bite of my dinner. “Sure.â€Â
“Men. I just don’t understand the…attraction of a nudie-show.â€Â
“Hormones?†I asked.
“I bet you go to strip clubs, too.†She gave me a long look. How could I answer that? I just shrugged, and after a bit she sighed. “At least you’re honest.â€Â
“Yeah. Cute, too.â€Â
“You should quit while you’re ahead.â€Â
“Well, I am,†I said, talking around a mouthful of chicken and rice. “All the girls say so.â€Â
She finally laughed and gave me a nudge on the arm. “Knock it off.â€Â
“Okay. Don’t believe me.†I washed my food down with a swig of beer. “Don’t take this as me trying to show my morals or anything, but for your information, I don’t like strip clubs.â€Â
She gave me a measured look. “Why?â€Â
“Honestly?†She nodded. “Going to a club…it’s basically an exercise in frustration.â€Â
She raised her eyebrow. “Do tell.â€Â
“Dozens of hot, sexy girls grinding around in front of you, and you can’t touch anything? That’s like sticking a kid in a candy store and telling him he can look, but not eat. There’s no point to it, unless you just get off spending twenty bucks for watery drinks.â€Â
“So…you’d rather have the real thing.â€Â
I gave her a little smile. I’d already stuck my foot in it with this conversation and she hadn’t slapped me or hailed a cab, so I decided it might not hurt to go a little further.
“Wouldn’t you?â€Â
She took a long, slow pull on her bottle. Eventually she grinned at me. I winked and went back to my veggies.
We sat for a bit, basking in the sun. Nancy absently tapped her toes on the steps, in time with the music blaring from the loudspeakers. She was staring straight ahead, with the beer bottle pressed against her slightly parted lips. A million miles away.
I took that as my cue to finish my food. I didn’t want her to drop back into a funk, or think I wasn’t the perfect date. Especially after our conversation about strippers.
“Okay,†I wiped my mouth with a napkin and tossed my garbage in a trash bin. I stood, reached down for her hand and helped Nancy to her feet. “C’mon.â€Â
She tossed her empty bottle away. “Where to?â€Â
“Let’s go listen to some music.â€Â
The sun was drooping on the horizon, sending long shadows over the grassy concourse. With the sun setting, a good chunk of the crowd was leaving, passing us in the opposite direction. We inched our way through, emerging at the upper lip of the concert bowl. The stage was set up facing east, down towards the water, so the sun was at our backs. I didn’t know the act that was playing, just a man on guitar and a woman on vocals.
We probably could’ve edged closer, but we had a good view and we weren’t crowded, so we stayed put. The group was doing some variation of a jazz standard, I could tell that much. A quiet, melody driven piece. The woman had a beautiful voice.
Nancy bumped into me, leaning up against my side, swaying her hips.
I held out my hand and asked if she wanted to dance.
She stared at me for a second or two before taking my hand. I wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close, felt her bury her head in my chest. She mumbled something I couldn’t understand.
“Nancy?†I whispered. “What was that?â€Â
She pulled away. Just a little. “Those girls are wrong. About you being cute.â€Â
I blinked. “I’m sorry…?â€Â
She looked up at me and smiled. Her eyes glistened with tears. “You’re sweet, too.â€Â
I was about to say something stupid, but Nancy shushed me. She pressed tight against me and the next thing I knew, the music was gone and we were the last couple left in the park.
“Hey.â€Â
She looked up. “Hmm?â€Â
“It’s getting late. We should probably head back to the car.â€Â
“Okay.â€Â
We strolled the few blocks together, her arm in mine, not really talking. We found the car and I unlocked her door. She brushed by me and slipped inside. A cop drove by, and I waited at the curb until the cruiser passed, suddenly thinking about Nancy’s husband. I got into the car and stuck the key in the ignition.
“Devin?†Nancy put her hand on mine. Her touch was light and lingering, sending an electric jolt up my arm.
I managed a smile. “Mm?â€Â
“Thanks. For asking me out.â€Â
“You’re welcome.â€Â
“I mean it. I wish I didn’t have to go home.â€Â
And there it was. The opening I’d been hoping for.
***
“How do I push the seat back?â€Â
Nancy was twisting around, trying to find the lever that would release her seat. Her back arched and her breasts pushed and strained against the front of her light cotton dress.
“You just reach down and pull the…â€Â
“This thing…?â€Â
“No, down by the door.â€Â
“Here?â€Â
I leaned over to help and one of her breasts brushed my cheek. I felt myself getting aroused. “Right here…†I found the lever and pulled. I heard the quick pop, and her seat rolled in its tracks. “There. Now push back.â€Â
She braced her feet on the floorboard and pushed. When her legs were completely straight, she stopped and sighed happily. “Oh, that’s better.â€Â
“Okay.†I pushed myself off Nancy’s lap and got a nice view of her body as she stretched. I was definitely getting horny. She put her hand to her mouth and tried to stifle a yawn.
“Where are we going?†She asked.
“Let’s keep it a secret.â€Â
She raised an eyebrow and cocked her head. “So…can I take off my shoes then?â€Â
“Sure.â€Â
She kicked off her shoes and crossed her legs, settled back in the seat.
“Comfy?â€Â
She nodded sleepily. “Very.â€Â
“Good.â€Â
I opted for the scenic route. The night was clear and the moon was up and almost full, illuminating the forest along the coastal highway. I figured it would be a nice drive. Nancy dozed off as soon as I turned back onto the freeway. So much for conversation. I turned on my stereo for background noise and pointed the VW towards the beach. If nothing else, I could enjoy the scenery.
By the time we got to the beach, my second wind had pretty much worn off. I was feeling the effects of only getting a few hours sleep, and my little catnap before I took Stephanie to work seemed like ages ago. I was getting drowsy enough that I needed to pull over.
I found an all-night market and gas station combo, and pulled in to the gravel parking lot, parked the VW next to a pump. The mullet-haired station attendant peeled himself off a grimy plastic chair and moseyed over as I rolled down my window. He bent over and peered in at me, then at Nancy, still asleep. He had a dirty nametag pinned to his work-shirt that read, ‘Stevie’.
“What can I get fer ya?â€Â
I handed him my credit card. “Fill it with regular?â€Â
“Awright.â€Â
Stevie ran the card, punched some buttons and stuffed the gas nozzle into my tank. The strong smell of fresh gasoline immediately permeated the inside of my car. The smell was so strong I had to roll back the sunroof. Stevie stood quietly on the little island, on the cement curb at the side of the car, holding the nozzle in place and staring through the window at Nancy’s tits. He didn’t move the entire time it took him to fill up the tank, other than to snort like a pig, wrinkle up his face, and honk up wet, green balls of snot and spit them out in the dirt.
The smell of the gas was making me woozy. I think I might have dozed off, because I didn’t quite catch what Stevie said when he started talking. It was like hearing someone speaking underwater.
“Where y’all headed?â€Â
“Huh…†I half turned to see him staring down through the sunroof. “Excuse me?â€Â
He nodded at Nancy. “You an’ your Mom. Where y’all headed this late?â€Â
“We were just out.â€Â
“Oh.†He scratched the side of his nose. “I gotcha. Hey, you want me to level this here off for ya?â€Â
“Sure.â€Â
“Right on.†He was quiet again until the nozzle jumped in his hand and shut off. He pumped the trigger a few times, until the meter read an even twenty-two dollars. He took the nozzle out and slapped my gas cap back on, tore off the receipt and stepped back around to my window. He handed me the receipt and bent over again.
“Hey, uh, this is a little weird, maybe, but I was just wonderin’, is she single?â€Â
He nodded at Nancy. She had her head turned towards us, breathing softly, her chest rising and falling. I still wasn’t thinking clearly. I blinked and pointed at her.
“Nancy?â€Â
“That her name?†Stevie grinned, showing me a couple teeth that weren’t brown and rotting. He was right back, staring at her boobs. “Man. Your momma’s really pretty. You from ‘round here? Maybe you could get me her phone number, or somethin’?â€Â
I turned the engine back on. I wasn’t real comfortable with this conversation, and I really didn’t want to smell Stevie’s funky breath any more.“Sorry, man. I don’t think so.â€Â
He stepped back, a glum look on his greasy face. “That’s too bad, man.â€Â
“Yeah, well.†I turned and winked at him. “You know, she’s not my mom.â€Â
“She’s not?â€Â
I shook my head. “She’s my date.â€Â
I left Stevie alone with his nasty chair and his fantasies and made a sharp turn around the corner, heading for the front of the market. There were only a few other cars in the lot: a dusty old station wagon with fake wood trim, a late model sedan with a dinged fender, and a dirty white pickup with a gun rack and a guy in a filthy, white wife-beater t-shirt, hunched down behind the steering wheel with a baseball cap pulled low over his eyes.
I continued down to the far end of the parking strip and parked next to an old muscle car that had seen better days. Nancy was still asleep, curled up in a ball in her seat, and I didn’t want to wake her up quite yet. I locked the VW up tight, just in case Stevie-boy got any romantic ideas, and went inside.
Apart from the two clerks – a couple of chubby, dishwater blondes gossiping behind one of the checkout aisles, the only other person in the store (that I could see, anyway) was back by the alcoholic beverages, pulling on a black ski mask.
I froze in my tracks and almost had a heart attack.
He grabbed two cases of cheap beer and ran for the hills. I heard a car door slam. Hooting and hollering drifted back into the store over the roar of an engine and the sound of spinning tires spitting gravel.
The girls never even looked up from painting their fingernails. I wondered if the commotion woke Nancy.
Apparently the beer run was as much of a robbery as was going to happen, and since I probably wasn’t going to get shot at, I started to shop. I bought a package of large marshmallows, some graham crackers and chocolate bars, along with a newspaper and a small can of lighter fluid. I picked up a bundle of firewood and I even found a bottle of wine, a nice Merlot to go with the chocolate. I bought a bag of ice and a small mop bucket, and then found an aisle with the condoms – just in case.
On the spur of the moment, I grabbed a few packages of women’s nylon stockings. I couldn’t really tell you why. But I threw them in my cart with everything else.
The two clerks broke up their tête-à-tête when I dumped the contents of my cart out in front of the register. The older, more haggard of the pair reluctantly rang me up, talking the entire time about what a good-for-nothin’ scammer Billy Ray was.
“Could I have separate bags for that stuff?†I pointed to the lighter fluid and the stockings.
“’Kay.â€Â
I nodded at a display case full of pocket knives behind her. “And I’d like one of those, too.â€Â
“Why, sure, hon.†The woman grunted and shook out a plastic bag. She made a point of shoving the items into the bag as hard as she could. She fingered through a large key ring and unlocked the case, and handed me the knife I’d pointed out. The other girl glared at me and then went back to more important things, like smacking her gum and blowing her nails dry. I guess it was bad manners for me to interrupt while they were busy. I wondered how long it took her to trowel on her makeup.
“That’ll be forty-two seventy-five, hon.â€Â
“Wow,†I said, and pulled out my wallet.
The woman fussed with her hair. “Yawp. Sure is expensive these days.â€Â
Feeling like I’d been scammed, I paid and wheeled my wobbly cart back out to the VW. I suppose they needed to break even somehow, with all the beer they lost. The pickup was gone, but Nancy was still curled up in a ball, her hand tucked under her chin. Apparently she’d missed all the commotion.
I unlocked my trunk and loaded it up. When I slammed it shut, Nancy stirred and stretched like a cat. I got another nice view of her tits while she had her arms in the air, and smiled. I left the cart on the walkway and unlocked the car.
As I pulled back onto the highway, Nancy turned sideways in her seat and yawned. Her bangs dropped across her forehead, fell into her eyes. She absently pushed them away and smiled sleepily. “Are we there, yet?â€Â
“Pretty close.â€Â
After another twenty minutes or so we finally saw the ocean. The moon was still out, hanging like a giant saucer suspended over the water.
“We’re at the beach?â€Â
“Mm.â€Â
I quietly rolled back the sunroof to let the scent of the salt water in. We came to some sharp curves, with nothing but a flimsy guardrail separating us from a steep cliff. I grabbed the gearshift and downshifted, slowing the VW. Nancy reached over, took my hand and squeezed. A warm tingle ran through me, settling down in my crotch. She closed her eyes and took a long, deep breath.
She let it out slowly and looked back over edge of the cliff, down at the rolling waves. “I love the ocean. I love the way it sounds. And smells. Everything.â€Â
I smiled. We drove the curves, winding our way back down into the forest, and lost the moonlight. I knew we were close to where I wanted to go, but I had to squint, hunting for a landmark.
We passed an old a-frame style cabin set back off the road, and I slowed down even more around the next curve, or I knew I’d miss the turnoff.
“Here we are.†I signaled, even though there weren’t any other cars around for miles, and turned off the highway.
The drive was an old logging trail, overgrown and rutted. The car bounced along the road and low branches smacked the windshield as I did my best to not flip the car. Some friends of mine had discovered this little deserted spot my junior year of high school. We used to come here every summer, but I hadn’t been here in years.
The road opened into a small clearing, and I parked and turned off the car.
We sat, listening to the whirr of the engine as it cooled off. We could hear the ocean, the waves roaring off in the distance. I shut off the headlights, plunging us into darkness.
I patted Nancy’s knee and opened my door. “Come on. Let’s get out and stretch a bit.â€Â
“Okay.â€Â
I walked around to her door and helped her out. We were parked on a small bluff overlooking the beach. I took her hand and we slid down the small dune, bounding into the soft sand at the bottom like we were kids.
The beach was quiet, except for the rumble of the ocean and the soft crashing of the breaking waves. The moon was obscured, hidden behind the forest pines, so it was dark enough to see thousands of twinkling stars. Nancy looked up and smiled.
“Devin…â€Â
I looked at her.
“Thank you.â€Â
“You’re welcome.â€Â
She bit her lip and squeezed my hand.
“Want to go for a walk?â€Â
Nancy slipped her arm through mine and we slogged through the soft, powdery sand to the harder pack at the water’s edge. We walked together for a while, not saying much, just enjoying the moment. She shivered a little, and snuggled up next to me. I felt the breeze pick up, and she shivered again.
“Cold?â€Â
“A little.â€Â
“Do you want to go back to the car?â€Â
She sighed. “Not really. I kind of like being right here.â€Â
That warm, fuzzy feeling jumped around in my gut. We walked the length of the cove, and then I led her back the way we came. When we reached the clearing, I guided her over to a pile of driftwood scattered among the dunes.
“Wait here a minute?â€Â
She nodded and wrapped her arms around her chest. I ran back up to the car and opened my trunk. I grabbed some blankets that I’d brought along, the newspaper and the firewood. I carried everything back to Nancy and dropped most of my load into the sand.
“What’s all this stuff?â€Â
“Hang on a minute.†I snapped open one of the blankets and spread it out. “Our night isn’t quite finished yet.†I took her hand and smiled. “Here. Have a seat.â€Â
She was staring at me strangely, but sat down on the blanket. I wrapped another around her shoulders, and dug out a small depression in the sand. I filled the hole with newspaper and pieces of kindling from the wood, then covered that with the larger logs.
“Okay.†I squirted a little lighter fluid onto the wood. I rolled up another chunk of newspaper and lit it with the lighter. “Let’s see if my week in scouts taught me anything.â€Â
Nancy was still staring at me. I carefully dabbed at the crumpled newspaper with the makeshift match. The lighter fluid caught, and tendrils of bluish-orange flame spurted up my tent of wood. Nothing blew up. I still had my eyebrows and my fingers. Looking good so far. I turned to Nancy. “That’s a good start. I’ll be right back.â€Â
I jogged back up to the car and fished out the grocery bags. I sat those on the ground and pulled out the bucket and checked to make sure the bottle of wine I’d covered with ice was still intact.
Once, again, everything looked good.
I shut the trunk, snapped my fingers – forgot something – popped the latch again. I opened open a pack of condoms and shoved some into my pocket, then shoved the rest back in the bag with the nylons and dropped the bag in the trunk.
“All right.†I took a deep breath to calm myself down, counted to three and went off to woo my date.
***
Nancy was staring into the fire when I returned. I set the bucket down. She looked at it and smiled up at me as I dropped onto the blanket next to her.
“What’s this?â€Â
“You’ll see.â€Â
On my way back to the cul-de-sac I’d picked up a couple long sticks. I took my new pocket knife and whittled until each stick until it was sharp at one end. I handed one to Nancy and put my knife back in my pocket, then I opened the grocery bag and laid our dessert out in front of us. Nancy was holding her stick loosely in one hand while she clasped the blanket around her body with the other, looking confused.
I ripped open the marshmallows and skewered one on the point of her stick. She looked at me blankly.
“What?†I asked.
She waved at the white blob. “What…what do I do with this?â€Â
“You’re kidding, right?â€Â
She shrugged.
“You’ve never made s’mores?â€Â
She shook her head.
“Okay. Hold on…â€Â
I rustled around unwrapped a bar of chocolate and opened the box of graham crackers. Then I grabbed her stick.
“Here.â€Â
I held the stick at the base of the fire, down by the coals, until the marshmallow burned a golden brown, and handed it back to Nancy. I opened a package of crackers and broke one in half, then I layered the cracker with a chunk of the chocolate and carefully pulled the warm, goopy marshmallow off the stick. I plopped that on the chocolate and squeezed the other half of the graham cracker on top, making a little, gooey sandwich.
I held the melting, dripping mess in front of Nancy’s lips.
“Here.â€Â
She gave me the strangest look.
“C’mon. Take a bite.â€Â
Nancy licked her lips, opened her mouth and chomped down. She chewed quietly for a second, swallowed.
“Well…?â€Â
Her eyes flickered closed, and she growled deep in her throat. When she opened her eyes, she grabbed my hand and pulled it to her mouth.
“Give me the rest of that.â€Â
I lifted the rest of her treat up above her head, made her work for the chocolaty goodness. She snapped at it like a starving puppy, stopped just short of biting and licking my fingers.
“Good, huh?â€Â
“That’s…sinful. What are they called?â€Â
I laughed. “S’mores. I can’t believe you’ve never had them before.†I handed her the stick, another marshmallow impaled on the tip. “Here. Your turn. You can make me one.â€Â
While she toasted her marshmallow, I broke out a pair of clear plastic cups and popped open the wine. I poured us each a cup. Her marshmallow caught on fire, and she jerked it back.
“Oh! I’m sorry, I…â€Â
I grabbed the end of the stick. “It’s okay, I like mine a little burnt. Just blow it out.â€Â
She puffed and the flame disappeared, leaving behind a scorched, bubbling blob. I took two pieces of cracker and pinched it off, leaving a sticky white mass on the end of the toasting stick.
“Can I make it?â€Â
I pushed the chocolate to her side of the blanket, then reached across her lap and anchored a glass of wine in the sand so it wouldn’t spill. I leaned back on my elbows and crossed my feet, took a sip of wine, relaxing while she built my s’more. I swished the drink around in my mouth, swallowed. I don’t really like wine, but this was tasty.
“Here…â€Â
She fed me. She had chocolate melted all over her fingers, and she held the little treat until it was gone. Then she licked the chocolate off her fingers, looking me in the eye the entire time. It was the strangest most intimate thing I’d experienced in a long time.
She tried her wine. “Mm. Yummy.†She pronounced.
My crotch perked up again, and I took another sip from my cup. I tasted plums. The wine seemed to go pretty well with the chocolate, I thought. The benefit of a wine tasting trip with Desiree and Linda in France a year before. Nancy was already burning another marshmallow. She did a little better this time, only destroyed half.
I stretched out on the blanket, holding my cup on my belly, staring up at the night sky. Nancy made another s’more, then she leaned back on her elbow and pressed it to my lips.
“For you.â€Â
I ate it slowly. She giggled.
“What?â€Â
“Nothing.â€Â
“No, what? Tell me.â€Â
“It’s silly.â€Â
I waited. She took a drink.
“I just felt like…like a slave girl. You know. Feeding her master.â€Â
My dick was suddenly trying to rip out of my pants. It was bent at a really uncomfortable angle. I opened my mouth to say…something. Shut it again. She took another drink and turned her head away.
“Nancy, I…â€Â
“Shh.†Another gulp, then she turned to me. “You know I’m married?â€Â
“Uh-huh,†I replied slowly. “I do.â€Â
“Okay.â€Â
Nancy nodded. It was as if she was giving me the go-ahead on a major project, like we were going to be building a new dam or a skyscraper, and she was my foreman, making sure our plans were in order. Then she drank down the rest of her wine in a huge gulp and tossed the cup into the sand. She leaned back on her elbow and hooked a leg over mine.
“Let’s move this so it doesn’t spill.â€Â
She lifted my cup from my hands, buried in the sand next to me. Her heavy breasts grazed my chest, and then she was sliding on top of me. I felt her weight settle on me, and she took my face in her soft hands. She bent and kissed me. I twitched, grinding my crotch into hers. Her warmth burned through my pants, and she growled again, gently pushing her tongue into my mouth.
I was so shocked I didn’t know what to do. My eyes popped open and I flailed my hands around aimlessly until some instinct made me wrap my arms around her waist. She was moving slowly, rubbing her body against me, gently kissing, probing my mouth with her tongue. As I slowly relaxed, I felt her getting hotter and hotter, until she pushed away and sat up.
“Okay…†she whispered the word to herself, like she needed to have permission. Her eyes were glazed, the lids flickering, half-closed. “Okay…â€Â
She scooted down further on my legs, raking her nails down my chest. I twitched again, and she was yanking open my belt, popping the buttons to my pants.
“Nancy, I…â€Â
She didn’t stop, just hissed. She pulled my cock out of my underpants and began stroking me. “It’s…so hard…â€Â
And then she went down on me. Swallowed me down to the hilt in a gulp. She kept me in her mouth and tugged at my clothes. I lifted my hips as much as I could, and she got them down around my knees. Then she went to work. She straddled my legs and ground her pussy on my thighs while she gave me head. I was all ready to come, just that fast.
She must have known, because she stopped sucking me. Her lips came off the head of my dick with a wet slurp. She pulled the hem of her skirt up around her waist with one hand and kept stroking me with the other. She groped at her underpants, and suddenly I heard the sound of material ripping.
I was squeezing her waist with my hands, digging my fingers into her soft belly. I was so horny, I thought I was going to explode. “Nancy…â€Â
She ignored me and inched up my body, until my cock was pinned underneath her. She eased down slowly, guiding me with her hand. When her pussy closed around me I closed my eyes and laid my head back.
She pushed my t-shirt up, rolling it over my chest.
I let her peel it off. She tossed the shirt away, and then I was unbuttoning the top of her dress, pulling it down over her shoulders until it was bunched around her waist.
I pulled the straps of her bra down and took her breasts into my hands. She bent and kissed me frantically, moaning deep in her throat, touching and caressing me until I couldn’t wait anymore. I grabbed her ass in my hands and squeezed, feeling my orgasm building. It seemed to start in my toes, working its way up until my entire body was stiff and rigid. I heard Nancy cry out and felt her stiff nipples graze my chest, and then I was coming.
I couldn’t hold back, I couldn’t move. All I could do was hold on and let her ride me, until every ounce of my energy flooded away in one final shudder. She was still on top of me, riding me, grinding her pelvis into mine and digging her sharp fingernails into my shoulders, when the last few days finally caught up with me.
My eyelids were already drooping, heavy as lead. I was already drifting away to sleep. Nancy bucked a last time, then she stiffened and cried out, moaning her husbands’ name. She collapsed on me and began to sob uncontrollably. I wrapped my arms around her and stroked her, whispering that everything was fine, that she was okay.
And then I zonked out.
***
The sun was up, and I was stretched out flat on my back when Nancy woke me. I don’t think I’d moved all night. I blinked open my eyes to find her cuddled next to me on the blanket, naked, stroking my cock. She had my dick hard already. I was pointed up at the sky, and she was lightly running the tips of her fingers up and down the underside of my shaft.
“Hi,†I mumbled. I wondered how bad my breath smelled.
“Hi.†She smiled and kissed me softly on the mouth, then stopped and pillowed her chin on my chest. She never stopped playing with me. “You fell asleep.â€Â
I felt myself blush. “I was a little tired, I guess. Did you get any sleep?â€Â
“Mm. A bit.†She kissed my chest. “Thank you.â€Â
“For…what?â€Â
“Last night.â€Â
I laughed. “I don’t know that you should be thanking me for last night.â€Â
“I came to a decision about something last night after you fell asleep. Something that’s been affecting me for a long time.â€Â
“What’s that?â€Â
“It’s time for me to start fresh.†Nancy bit her lip. “I’m going to leave my husband.â€Â
I was shocked. “Oh. I…ah…â€Â
“Don’t look so worried. It’s something…I’ve been thinking about for a long time.†She smiled sadly. “Did you know today’s our anniversary?â€Â
I shook my head. Nancy took a long, deep breath, and let it back out slowly.
“I always thought that when two people met and fell and love and got married...I always thought that meant forever, you know? But then I found out Dan was having an affair. With a friend of mine. And it turns out, she’s not the only one. I should be upset, or more than I am, anyway. But I knew. I could tell. Its like I’m waiting around for him to admit it to me, even though I know he won’t. I’ve just been kind of drifting around. And now…I guess, now I feel like everything I grew up believing isn’t…real.â€Â
Nancy drifted off, staring out at the water. She was quiet for a moment, but kept gently rubbing me, keeping me hard. The whole conversation was getting a little surreal, but there was something I wanted to know.
“So, last night....†I cleared my throat. “Did you come with me to…get back at him? Or…â€Â
“Oh. No.†She smiled and gave me a light squeeze. I felt my dick throb in her hand. “Devin, I like you. You’ve been so nice to me…and…I thought that maybe you liked me too.â€Â
“I do, I mean…Nancy, I’m sorry about…â€Â
She shushed me. “I’m sorry, too. For crying last night, especially. You didn’t need that.â€Â
“No, it’s not. This isn’t either, probably. But I just don’t care anymore.â€Â
I didn’t know what to say to that. I was having a hard time concentrating anyway, so I stayed quiet. She looked me right in the eye and inched closer.
“Devin, I want you to kiss me.â€Â
Nancy pursed her lips, and her eyes flickered shut. Our kiss was gentle, almost tentative, especially after the mauling she gave me last night. When we parted for a breath, she rolled onto her back. She spread her legs and pulled me on top of her.
She was sopping wet. She pulled me closer with her legs, and then we were joined again. This time was slower, gentler. She touched me everywhere, exploring. I was rested enough to have a little more stamina, thank god, because we didn’t decide to leave our private beach until the sun was getting low on the horizon.
We didn’t see another soul the rest of the day, except for a few noisy seagulls. We spent the morning playing. Cuddling, talking, swimming. Walking on the beach. Making love. Until finally, late into the afternoon, we were spent.
And starving.
Ahem. In my zeal to get into Nancy’s pants the night before, somehow I’d neglected to bring or buy any real food. My stomach started complaining loudly during our last round of lovemaking. Nancy laughed while it gurgled.
“How would you like to go get some dinner?â€Â
She held up her rumpled dress. “I don’t think I want to go anywhere in this.â€Â
We were both naked and the breeze had turned chilly, so we were hunting for our clothes. I found my shirt in a tangle of sharp, pokey bleached-white branches. I had no idea where my underwear was. I bent over and tried to pick it out without tearing it.
“You could just wear what you’ve got on.â€Â
“Would you like that?†I snuck a look over my shoulder. Nancy was staring at my butt, smiling.
“You bet.â€Â
“I don’t think anybody else would.†She patted her soft tummy. “I’m not really sure why you seem too fancy this old body either.â€Â
“You look great.†I shrugged. “I don’t care what anyone else thinks.â€Â
“You’re sweet.â€Â
“You keep saying that. You don’t know me very well, apparently.â€Â
She gave me a look. “What does that mean?â€Â
I gave her a mysterious eyebrow wiggle. I rolled a log out of my way, and my shirt came free. It was filthy, and had a big rip up the side from Nancy yanking on it. I sighed. I liked that shirt. Nancy was slipping into her panties.
She sighed, took a long look around. “I don’t want to go home yet.â€Â
I turned my shirt inside-out and pulled it on. Except for the tear, it looked a little better. “We could stay another night. There’s a bunch of outlet stores in town. We could hit a store, get enough stuff to last a couple days, rent a hotel room, clean up, get some dinner. How about it?â€Â
“Really?†She was staring at me with her bra halfway on. “What about your work?â€Â
“I took a few days off. I don’t have to be anywhere.â€Â
She thought about it. “Well…okay.â€Â
“Good. I have a couple conditions, though.†I walked over and helped button the front of her dress.
“Conditions…?â€Â
“Mm-hm.†I nodded. “You let me pick out your clothes, for one. Everything I’d like to see you wear.â€Â
She blushed. “What?â€Â
“That’s number one.â€Â
“What’s number two?†She asked.
I finished buttoning her up. A couple of the top buttons were missing. I guess they had popped off after I tore her dress open last night. Now her collar flopped open, all the way down to her chest. I ran my finger down her cleavage and she shivered. “After we eat, I get to take you back to the hotel room and take off those clothes…â€Â
She put her hands on my shoulders. I cupped her ass in my hands and pulled her close, smashing her breasts into my chest. She looked up at me with a naughty little grin.
“And then…?â€Â
“And then I tie you to the bed, and prove to you that I’m not the nice guy you think I am…â€Â
***
It was early Tuesday morning when I dropped Nancy back at her house. She was wearing a dark, fitted suit with a pale cream blouse, and a matching skirt, stockings and high-heels. Light bruises circled her wrists and ankles from where she’d been bound for the last day or so. I was in my jeans and a new t-shirt, and I was exhausted.
I hoped she was too.
We kissed for a moment and said our goodbyes. She opened the door, stepped out and took a shopping back from my backseat.
“I’ll call you later?â€Â
She closed the door and leaned in through the open window. “That would be nice.â€Â
We kissed again. When we parted she smiled happily. I waited until she opened her front door, and then I drove off. By the time she disappeared into her house, I had other things on my mind. During the weekend, she’d made a decision that would affect her life.
So had I.
I didn’t notice the car parked in her driveway – a car that wasn’t supposed to be there.
***
Nancy unlocked her front door and waved as Devin drove off. When she couldn’t see his car any longer she stepped into her house and set her bag on the floor of the foyer.
She leaned against the wall, closed her eyes and sighed, feeling her age for the first time for the last few days. She was sore and tired, but she also felt deliciously…satiated.
She kicked off her shoes and rubbed the soles of her feet.
God, those things were uncomfortable. She definitely wasn’t used to wearing high heels anymore. She had to admit, though, she looked pretty good in the clothes Devin had bought for her. He sure thought so, anyway. That’s really what mattered.
She smiled at her reflection in the hall mirror, smoothed her skirt over her hips, made a little turn. She cupped her breasts and gave them a little bounce, grinned.
Then she saw Dan. He’d come from the living room, and was leaning against the doorframe, dressed in a white t-shirt and boxer shorts. Wiry grey chest hair poked out of the collar of his shirt. His upper lip twitched. Nancy knew he’d been watching her, ever since she stepped out of Devin’s car. Probably before.
He took a slug from a can of beer in his hand, gulping the beer down. He wiped his mouth with his forearm and grinned. “Hi honey. I’m home.â€Â
He crushed the can and dropped it into her shopping bag. Then he advanced into the foyer, wobbling slightly. He stopped bare inches away from Nancy, glaring down at her with hollow, bloodshot eyes. Dan wasn’t a particularly tall man, certainly not nearly as big or muscular as Devin. But he possessed a quality that made him seem massive; as if he towered over her. It was a trait that had served him in good stead during his tenure as a police officer, and as an army drill sergeant before that.
Her good mood evaporated in a heartbeat.
“Dan…â€Â
“So…where have you been? Huh? Since Saturday?â€Â
Nancy felt herself blush; a slow burn that spread across her face and down her neck.
“I…â€Â
“Out with the girls? That’s what your friend next door told me. I think she thinks I’m stupid. Whoever I just saw you with didn’t look like he had tits to me.â€Â
Nancy tried to back away. She could smell the alcohol on his breath, sour and disgusting, and a pit opened in her stomach. She knew how her husband could get if he’d been drinking. He forgot things sometimes. Little blackouts. And if he thought she was lying to him…
“I told you before you left. Remember?†She put her hands up, to keep some sort of boundary between them. “I told you who…â€Â
“This is nice. New?†He fingered the lapel of her suit jacket, then grabbed her breast and squeezed hard. “Looks expensive. You buy it?â€Â
Nancy moaned and batted ineffectually at his hand. “No. Dan, I…â€Â
“Yeah. I didn’t think so.â€Â
Nancy stumbled backwards. Dan stayed with her, not letting her move out of his reach. She bumped into the wall, and he grabbed her neck with a big, meaty hand, pinned her against the wall with his body. He was hurting her. She slapped at him.
“Dan! Let me go!â€Â
He sneered and easily caught her hands. He shoved them over her head and shoved his leg between her thighs. He leaned down and tried to kiss her. Nancy turned her head and cried out as he roughly bit at her neck.
Nancy writhed against her husband. Her crotch rubbed up and down his leg.
“Did you fuck him like you wanted to?†He was chewing her ear, whispering, his voice low and hoarse. “Did he come in you, baby?â€Â
“Yesss…†She hissed.
“Did you suck him…?â€Â
Dan was hard, shoving his pelvis forward, grinding himself into her. Nancy closed her eyes, and a flood of moisture dribbled down the inside of her legs. Her chest heaved.
“Yes…â€Â
Dan reached down and felt her pussy. He dug his fingers into her sopping cunt.
“You liked it too, didn’t you, you fucking whore. I bet you liked when he came in your mouth…â€Â
Nancy began to tremble, her body shivering uncontrollably. The first waves of an intense orgasm began to overwhelm her as Dan ripped her skirt up. His hot, panting mouth found hers, and Nancy wrapped her legs around his ass.
“Fuck me baby,†she begged. “C’mon, fuck your mommy…â€Â
“That’s right, you cunt, I’ll fuck you, you goddamn whore…I’ll fuck you like you wanted him to, that dickless little shit…â€Â
His hand left her pussy and he shoved his cock inside her with one, hard thrust. They fell to the floor together. Dan pinned her wrists to the polished oak and rammed his cock into her again, spitting into her face. Nancy gasped as he fell on her, crushing the breath out of her.
She panted in his ear. “Come on baby, fuck your momma, fuck momma…â€Â
Dan pounded her, grunting with each thrust. Sweat beaded his forehead, soaked the armpits of his t-shirt, and dripped onto her blouse, wetting it with dark spots.
And then she was coming, a gut-wrenching orgasm that curled her toes and shook her whole body. Her orgasm ripped through her, and she screamed, “Oh, God! Yes, baby!
Nancy clung to her husband, letting him ride her, feeling another orgasm building already. Dan was pounding her, slamming himself into her cunt. The veins in his face and neck bulged. Her bruised wrists throbbed with pain. And then he came, swift and hard, his entire body stiff and taught.
Then he collapsed on her, crying like a child, whispering sweet nothings in her ear, swearing he was going to go kill the little punk that tried to take her from him.
Nancy held him and smiled.
She loved this game.
***
After I dropped Nancy off, I drove straight to the video store.
There were only two other cars in the lot when I got there. A shiny new VW Jetta full of teenage girls was idling at the curb. Trisha (Stephanie’s friend, my ex-employee) was at the wheel. A dingy, shit-brown Toyota was crookedly parked in the handicapped spot. Not only was it taking up two spots, the Toyota didn’t have a disabled permit.
I pulled in a few spots over from the Jetta and killed the engine. Trisha waved at me. All the other girls giggled and poked each other and blew me kisses. I didn’t know any of them, but I waved and blew kisses right back. It made them giggle even more.
Lindsay was at the counter, checking out a pile of movies to Stephanie. Stephanie blushed when she saw me, but they both smiled and waved when I pushed open the door. I stepped behind the counter and picked up the phone. I glanced around; automatically checking to make sure everything was in order.
I noticed the security cameras weren’t turned on. I pointed at the monitor hidden under the counter, at the blank screen, and wagged my finger back and forth. That was a big no-no. Lindsay frowned at me, but she nodded and mouthed, okay.
“Hey, you two.â€Â
“Hey boss-man.†Lindsay glanced over at me, raised an eyebrow. “I didn’t expect to see you for a couple more days…?â€Â
She let the question drift.
“I guess so.†I nodded over my shoulder at the Toyota. I raised my eyebrow for emphasis. “By the way, I also noticed that you parked in the handicapped spot again.â€Â
She stuck out her tongue.
“We’ve talked about that.â€Â
“But…â€Â
I kept quiet and gave her my best mean, evil manager look. Stephanie giggled.
“Okay. Fine. I’ll move it.â€Â
“Thank you.†I pushed the button for the corporate office on the phone’s speed dial and crooked the phone between my neck and shoulder. I bumped my hip against the counter and waited with my arms crossed while the receiver beeped in my ear. Stephanie and Lindsay turned to each other and shrugged. Lindsay finished scanning Stephanie’s movies through the computer. The receipt was printing by the time our office manager, Mary, picked up the other line.
Lindsay made faces at me, trying to get me to laugh. I ignored her while Mary blurted out the company’s required phone answering spiel. I had to give her credit; she had the speech down verbatim. I thought she could’ve slowed it down a little, though. If I hadn’t had to memorize it myself, I wouldn’t have understood a word she’d said. Mary didn’t have the most dynamic personality anyway; the end effect was something like listening to the adults speaking in a Peanuts cartoon.
That little comment provoked complete, stunned silence. On the phone and in the store. Lindsay stopped making faces. Stephanie looked like I’d pimp-slapped her.
“I decided that I need to just off my butt and go back and finish school.†Blah-blah-blah. “Yeah. Well, I’ve got an opportunity to start making movies, too. So I’m going to be leaving...â€Â
There were a whole lot of loud blah-blahs that time. I held the receiver away from my ear until the ruckus on the other end subsided. Lindsay and Stephanie were frozen at the counter, staring at me with their mouths open.
“Yeah. Actually, I do. There’s someone standing right here that I think would do a great job.†More blah-blahs drifted from the phone. I smiled at Lindsay. “Yep, that’s her. You should talk to her about it.â€Â
Blah. Blah, blah.
“Okay. I’ll email you a written notice on Monday. Perfect. Yeah. Two weeks from then. Great. Thanks Mary. Bye.â€Â
I hung up. It took about two seconds for the girls to realize what I’d done. They looked at each other, then at me, and then they both started talking at once. Lindsay wagged her finger at me.
“You can’t quit!â€Â
“I just did.â€Â
“But…but…†She stammered.
“And I just recommended that you take over my job. Mary’s going to call you next week. You should be manager at the end of the month.â€Â
“But…â€Â
“And then you can park wherever the hell you want to.â€Â
Lindsay balled her hands into little fists and planted them on her hips. She gave me a last glare. I made a face back at her and she grinned. “Well. Okay then.â€Â
Stephanie looked lost. She also looked very cute, standing there in her tight little t-shirt and her tight little shorts, holding her bag of movies. Outside, the girl’s in the Jetta were getting impatient. Trisha honked the horn. I grinned and waved.
“I think they want to go, Steph. Hey, Lindsay, let everybody know we’ll have a staff meeting Saturday morning at eight, and I’ll let everyone know what’s up.â€Â
She started to say something else, but I was already out the door.
***
A couple weeks later, Nancy called and left a message on my cell phone, asking if we could get together. I called her back on her cell and said sure. And that Friday night we met downtown for dinner. She looked great again, dressed in a light skirt and a low cut top. She gave me a peck on the cheek and rubbed her boobs on my arm.
I spent most of dinner trying to not stare at her tits.
Afterwards, I walked her to my car. She’d snuck away from home and taken a cab downtown, and was wondering what I had planned for us this weekend.
“You’ll see,†I said, and drove us to Desiree’s club.
The club was smack-dab in the middle of downtown, and, surprisingly (knowing Desiree and her penchant for the flamboyant), the exterior of the building was a boring, drab slate, with a tiny neon sign with the club’s name mounted above the doors.
Generally, the businesses surrounding the club were closed by the time any of her clients were getting ready to party, and as much as anything, the club’s bland façade was a small concession from her to the city and the neighboring businesses. It helped keep the complaints to a bare minimum. During the festival, she’d stayed open around the clock for the sailors’ enjoyment. Tonight the club was quiet, reserved for a private party.
Swan and I were making a movie.
To ensure we didn’t get bothered, two big, burly gay guys in leather riding gear manned the outer doors, and two even larger bull-dykes policed the lobby. They all knew me, and by the time we walked up the steps, Desiree was there to meet us. She squealed and clapped her hands and jumped up and down, making her tits bounce. She was dressed subtly tonight, for her, anyway; practically naked except for a black, studded thong and a matching bra, and she seemed about seven feet tall in her leather, spike-heeled boots.
Desiree flipped her long, straight pony-tail over a muscular shoulder and kissed me lightly on the lips. She’d recently dyed her hair a shade of purple so dark it almost looked black until the light hit it just right.
I introduced Nancy, and then Desiree whisked us inside.
The interior of the club was more suited to her personality. Nancy stared open-mouthed. She didn’t seem to notice the threatening looks that the lesbian storm-troopers gave her.
Desiree took Nancy by the arm. “Would you like a quick tour?†she asked, and led her away, chattering up a storm. Nancy followed a half-step behind, a confused look on her face. I stayed put.
“See you in a bit,†I said, both to Nancy and the stormtoopers. One of the pair, the big blonde one who I think was named Helga, flipped me off.
Once they disappeared it was my turn. The men’s locker room was the opposite direction. Swan was waiting for me when I pushed open the door. He was naked except for a jockstrap. I could make out every bone in his scrawny body.
“Jesus, man. Put on some clothes.’
“S’up, Dev?†He grinned.
We high-fived. The dressing room was large enough to hold several hundred lockers, lined against the walls, like at a gym. A good chunk of them were full. Swan had saved me a locker next to his. I sat down on a wood bench and started to strip.
“Everything ready?†I asked.
“Hell, yeah.†He took two rubber Halloween masks out of the locker. “How was dinner?â€Â
“Tasty.†I folded my pants, stuffed them in the locker.
“So…she came?â€Â
I nodded and pulled off my shirt.
“How’d you get her here?â€Â
I grinned and shrugged. “I told her we were making a movie.â€Â
“Yeah? Okay.†He handed me one of the masks. “Except, I hear a ‘but’ in there, somewhere…â€Â
“Well, I didn’t tell her everything. It’d spoil the surprise.â€Â
He pulled his mask over his head. It was a clown mask, with a fringe of tangled red hair, and a garish, leering smile that was painted on the latex under a huge, long nose that stuck out like a skinny phallus. The thing barely fit over Swan’s afro, and it puffed out like a balloon when he finally got in on. Mine was the same, except the wig’s hair color was a dirty gray. And it fit.
“All right.†Swan said. “Let’s go make a movie.â€Â
***
The day after I got back to work, Nancy’s husband came to pay me a visit. Swan was at the store too. We were discussing my retirement. He was in the restroom taking a piss when Dan walked through the door and called me a cock-sucking asshole scumbag.
I think I laughed at him.
I knew who he was, so at first I assumed he was just there for some payback, a little ‘warn off the guy who seduced my wife’ sort of thing. So I grabbed the mace from under the counter – just to be safe – and tried to calm him the fuck down.
But then he pulled a big-ass hunting knife and took a swing at me.
He almost got me. The blade whizzed by about an inch from my nose. But he was short and didn’t have a long reach, even with the foot-long knife. The counter gave me enough space to keep my good looks.
He tried to come around the side of the counter. I stepped backwards and maced him right in the face.
The previous manager had bought the mace before she left, and the canister had been sitting around under the counter forever. I’d thought about throwing it away, but had never gotten around to it. Could mace spoil? I didn’t know. What I did know, or what the other manager had told me, was that the stuff was guaranteed to bring down a grizzly bear at fifty yards.
I don’t think I’d want to try it with a grizzly bear. But spoiled or not, it did the trick.
Dan screamed and dropped the knife. He fell onto his knees and started clawing at his burning eyeballs. Swan jumped out of the restroom with his fly still open to see what was going on.
Stupidly, I stepped around the counter to try and help Dan, who was scrabbling around on his hands and knees on the tile floor, screaming incoherently at me with tears running down his face and snot streaming from his nose. His groping fingers grabbed the knife again, and he swung it blindly, shouting obscenities the whole time. I kicked the knife out of his hand. Swan jumped on him from behind and pinned him to the floor.
Dan kept fighting until Swan twisted his arm around and bent it up at a bad angle behind his back. That might have been enough to hold him until I called the cops, but then Swan grabbed Dan’s hair and pounded his face into the floor.
I heard a sharp crack as Dan’s nose shattered, and then gouts of blood joined the pool of snot I was going to have to mop up. He kept fighting, so Swan pounded his face again.
That was when Dan stopped screaming and started whimpering, telling us all sorts of crazy, whacked out stories. By the time he stopped talking, I knew how he and Nancy had set me up. It was all some sort of sick, fucked up sex game to them. And he’d come to fuck me up good, all right. That was how it worked. Nancy seduced some poor sap, and afterwards Dan would go and scare the piss out of him.
It turned them on.
Swan asked me what I wanted to do. I thought about it. I thought about Nancy, and our weekend together. What she’d told me. I picked up the knife and played with it. After a bit I got an idea.
Dan didn’t seem to like it. So I yanked his head back and pricked his eyelid with the tip. He shook his head. So I peeled his eyelid back, exposing his eyeball, and showed him the knife. His bladder failed, and a puddle of warm urine joined the rest of the mess. He struggled, but Swan had all the leverage he needed to keep Dan relatively still. I made a nice, shallow cut along his bottom lid, following the curve of his eye. He cried out. Blood welled up and dripped from the cut like a crimson tear.
It didn’t take long for him to come around.
We sent Dan home a little bloody, with a broken nose and a dislocated shoulder, and a warning.
When he left, I was shaking. I was still freaked out when, later that evening, I dropped the knife down a storm drain.
You never know what you’re capable of…
***
I wasn’t at all sure Dan would follow the plan. I half expected some of his cop buddies to show up on my doorstep, and somebody would be picking me out of the river a few days later. But that didn’t happen.
Then Nancy called to tell me he’d left her…
Everything hinged on that one, little thing. I don’t know what he said to her to get her to call, but here we were. Another night out on the town, with Nancy feeding me a new sob story about her cheating husband.
In hindsight, the act seemed a little more genuine this time.
Swan thought my idea would work, but we needed somebody’s help.
***
Desiree watched the flabby sow-cow, wondering what the hell Devin had ever seen in her. That boy had some strange kinks. Old wrinkly bitch, she thought. Fuck with my baby…
She kept her thousand-watt smile plastered on her face and dragged the cunt to the dressing rooms.
“Here we are, honey.†She pointed and gave the cow a nudge. “Right through those doors.â€Â
“Is that where they’re making the movie?â€Â
“That’s it. Everybody’s waiting for you.â€Â
“Okay.â€Â
Desiree wrapped her arms under her breasts and gave the woman a last once-over.
“Honey, you sure you want to do this?â€Â
Nancy shrugged. “Sure…why not?â€Â
“Well, you know what they say.â€Â
Nancy looked back, her hand on the door handle. “What?â€Â
“Honey…†Desiree looked at Nancy’s gut and grinned, showing her perfect, white teeth. “Film adds a good ten pounds…â€Â
***
Nancy shook her head, thinking, what a fucking bitch....
“Aren’t you coming?â€Â
The he-she shook her head. “This is as far as I go, honey. Have fun.â€Â
She pushed open the locker room door and was halfway through when Desiree called back to her
“Honey? A bit of advice…?â€Â
She peeked back into the locker room. “What?â€Â
“It’ll be better if you relax in there. Go with the flow.†Then she turned and was gone in two long strides.
Nancy scowled and walked down a dimly-lit hallway. A thin crack of bright light shown through a space between a pair of metal doors at the far end. She wondered where the hell Devin was. Nancy pushed on a wide metal bar. There was a click, and the door swung open. She stepped through and froze.
The door swung shut. She didn’t hear the click as it locked behind her. She was too busy staring at the roomful of masked, naked men.
“Omigod…â€Â
Someone shouted. “Action!â€Â
Nancy screamed as the first hands grabbed her and started ripping at her clothes…
***
It was just past . Friday night at the video store, and Stephanie was on the phone with Trisha, talking about Devin and waiting to be able to close the store and go home. They’d been busy earlier in the evening, but she’d only had maybe one or two customers since the sun went down. Trisha had called to talk about ten. She hadn’t put the phone down since.
“…And then he made me breakfast!†She giggled into the phone. Trisha wanted to hear all the details – again. “And then we…â€Â
Stephanie hardly noticed the rusted-out delivery van that pulled up to the curb outside, or the two scummy guys in leather biker jackets that flicked cigarettes onto the pavement who stepped out. They walked into the store like they owned it, stopped at the side of the counter and looked around. Smoke from the moldering cigarette butts wafted in after them.
Stephanie wrinkled her little nose at the smell and kept talking “But he quit, so now I never see him, and I don’t have his phone number…â€Â
The guys split up. One of them, a bald guy with a hook nose and facial tattoos walked straight to the back of the store. The other guy, the taller of the two, stepped to the middle of the counter where Stephanie was standing. His black steel-toed boots scuffed the tile as he walked.
When he reached her, he smacked his dirty hands on the counter hard enough to make Stephanie jump. He leaned over and stared down at her boobs.
“Hey, is somebody named Devin here?†He didn’t bother raising his eyes away from her tits. The arms of his leather jacket and his t-shirt were both torn away at the shoulders, and he flexed his muscles while he talked, making them jump and wiggle. Like it was supposed to impress her or something. “I’m a friend of his.â€Â
Stephanie made a face. She couldn’t help it. The guy was filthy and he smelled awful, like cigarettes and beer and body odor. His beard was scraggly and his blonde hair was long and greasy. All of his fingernails were bitten down to the quick and black with grime. Blue ink from homemade tattoos had bled into the cracks of the skin on his upper arms and his scabby knuckles. Where they weren’t torn, his clothes were covered with motor oil and dirt.
Stephanie thought he looked creepy, like he just got out of jail. She wondered if he was lying. She shook her head curtly, hoping he’d go away.
“It’s nice to meet you...†He shifted his eyes enough to glance at her nametag. He reached out and tweaked it, brushing her breast. His hand left a greasy black smear on the counter where it had touched. She took a quick, sharp breath, fighting the urge not to step further away from this creep. “Stephanie. My name’s John.â€Â
“Hold on…†She covered the mouthpiece of the phone with the palm of her hand. “Um, Devin doesn’t work here anymore. His last day was today.â€Â
“Oh.†The guy looked so disappointed, Stephanie wondered if maybe he did know Devin. She hoped not. He was gross. “Do you have a phone number or something…? I haven’t seen him in a long time. I kinda wanted to surprise him, hook up, you know? Talk about old times and all that shit.â€Â
She shook her head. “Sorry.â€Â
“Well shitfuck.†He finally stopped looking at her chest and grinned wolfishly. “Well, what about you? You doin’ anything tonight?â€Â
Her eyes widened. “Huh?â€Â
“My friend Reg over there thinks you’re kinda cute. He thinks you’d be a nice date, you know what I mean? I think he’s right. Maybe we could rent some movies and go back to your place when you get off.†He reached across the counter again and nudged her shoulder. This time she did step back. “Have a little fun, the three of us.â€Â
The question gobsmacked her. She stuttered, feeling totally icked-out, then managed, “Uh-uh. No way.â€Â
“Huh.†He cracked his knuckles. “You sure?â€Â
“Uh-huh.â€Â
“Already got a boyfriend or something, huh?â€Â
“Uh-huh.â€Â
“Oh.†John frowned and stared blankly at something behind her. Stephanie started to turn around, but then he blinked and said, “I guess that’s okay. Hey, Stephanie, is there a bathroom I could use?â€Â
“Sure.†Stephanie grabbed the ring with the key to the public restroom off its hook and handed it to him. She cringed when he touched her. His hands were rough and callused. “It’s back down that hall, across from the adult movie room.â€Â
The door alarm beeped, making them both jump, and a teenage couple came in. They dropped a few video cases into the return box at the end of the counter and then, joined at the hip like Siamese twins, they walked over to the new release wall.
John glanced at them, then looked back the way Stephanie was pointing. Then he tossed the keys in the air and smiled at her. There was a big, gnarly gap where his front teeth should’ve been. “Thanks.â€Â
“Sure.â€Â
He walked away. Stephanie said a silent prayer of thanks and went back to her conversation with Trisha. A few seconds later she got her final rush of customers, and she was busy enough that she barely looked up when the creepy bald guy tossed the restroom keys on the counter. She heard the quick beep of the security sensors when he opened the door, but she didn’t really see the men leave. By the time the van pulled out of the lot, she’d forgotten all about them.
***
The front entries had doors that were all keyless on the inside, with built-in bolt-locks. Stephanie turned the locks and shut off the main lights at five to one. A little early, but her mom had called to tell her she was going to bed, so Stephanie had to take the bus home. That was okay; the busses ran late on weekends, but she’d have to hurry or she’d miss the last one. Then she’d have to walk the four miles home.
Better to hurry and be a little sloppy tonight, she thought. Lindsay could fuck off if she didn’t like it.
Stephanie ran her reports and closed the computers, cleaned and straightened up a little while the printouts ran, like Devin had taught her. She wondered what he was doing tonight while she hastily ran the vacuum up and down the aisles. She thought about him a lot lately. He lived closer than she did. Maybe she could stop by and visit? She could get a cab, if she missed the bus. It wouldn’t be too expensive.
The thought made her grin, and she smiled the whole time she cleaned out the popcorn machine, throwing away a bunch of sticky, smelly, burnt kernels. She shut off the video monitors and reached for the security system, but it was already off. Lindsay had forgotten to turn it on again. Then she noticed the keys. “Shit!â€Â
Who knew how long they’d been lying there. She was glad no one had snatched them. Then she remembered Devin telling her to always check the bathroom to make sure nobody was hiding. And she remembered the creepy guy.
Stephanie grabbed the mace. She worked herself into a frazzle walking down the hall. She was shaking, ready to bolt and run when she stuck the key in the lock and threw open the door, holding the mace straight out in front of her.
Then she laughed at herself. There wasn’t anybody there. Just a nasty brown turd sticking up out of the toilet bowl and pee all over the floor, as usual. Creepy guy had left her a present. “Eww.â€Â
Stephanie gutted it up enough to step in and flush the toilet, but she didn’t mop. There wasn’t enough time. Lindsay would definitely yell at her tomorrow.
She put the keys away and grabbed her till drawer. She shut the office door, booted up the computer and sat down at the desk with a sigh. It was already . She didn’t have much time left, so she turned on the adding machine and dug into the cash.
Halfway through adding everything up, Stephanie thought she heard something moving around out in the store. She froze solid, suddenly terrified, straining to hear. Her heart was hammering in her chest. She waited with a fistful of cash clenched tight in her hand, the rest of the night’s money spread out over the desktop.
Outside the office it was quiet again.
Stephanie heard a car, and she relaxed. Someone had probably just dropped off some late returns in the night slot. She wondered why she was being so jumpy. She knew the doors were locked. She’d checked them, rattled their handles to make sure they wouldn’t open. Nobody had been in the bathroom...
She started counting again. And then she clearly heard the security beep from the door alarm.
Somebody was in the store. And then it hit her.
The porno room. She hadn’t checked the porn room…
She heard them clearly now. At least two men, talking in low voices. Their heavy footsteps were muffled by the carpet, but she knew they were coming towards the office. She knew who they were, and she realized she was in trouble. The stomping feet paused outside the office. She heard someone light a cigarette, could already smell the smoke.
Stephanie thought she might throw up. Her mind seemed to be working in slow motion.
What do I do? What do I do?
Her first thought was the mace. But that was out front. She’d have to get past the intruders somehow. Then she noticed the phone, hung by a peg on the wall to her side. Relief flooded through her.
The police! I’ll call the police…
She reached for the phone. And the office door swung open…
Stephanie screamed and dropped the receiver as a big, filthy hand wrapped around her wrist and squeezed. The rancid stench of stale cigarette smoke and unwashed bodies filled her nostrils. Bile burned her throat and she choked as a strong hand clamped around her mouth. A deep, hoarse voice whispered in her ear.
“Shut the hell up, bitch.â€Â
Stephanie tried to stand, but the man was too strong. He easily wrenched her arm around her back and pushed her over. She kicked and thrashed and screamed into his callused hand. Money flew everywhere.
“I said shut up, you stupid little cunt!â€Â
The man leaned on her, crushing the breath out of her. Stephanie gasped as her ribs were driven painfully into the side of the desk. She whimpered and stopped kicking.
“Here, gimme some of those…â€Â
The hand over her mouth disappeared for a second. Stephanie tried to speak…
“Please…just take the money! D-don’t hurt me, okay? I…â€Â
“Shut-up! Jesus…â€Â
Another pair of hands grabbed her, pried her mouth open. Filthy fingers forced some tablets down her throat, and then her jaws were clamped shut. Stephanie choked on the pills and started to struggle again. One of them showed her a knife and held it to her throat.
“Swallow, bitch. Or I’ll ram this up your ass.â€Â
She shook her head, tears and snot streaming down her face. She tried to spit, but the men held her tight, bent over the desk with both of her arms bent painfully behind her back and the big, smelly hand clamped over her lips. She felt the tablets dissolve in her mouth. They held her until her mouth filled with saliva.
Stephanie gulped, swallowing reflexively, and felt the sickening taste of the pills as they oozed down her throat. One of the men smacked the back of her head.
“There. Jesus. That wasn’t so hard, huh? Now we can have some fun.â€Â
The man who had the knife stepped away from the table. She got an arm free and tried to claw at the hand on her mouth. Someone grabbed her wrist again, and her arms were twisted behind her back again.
“Bitch tried to scratch me!â€Â
A plastic zip-tie slipped around her wrists. They tugged it until the soft skin of her wrists pinched and her circulation was cut off. “Tie her up tight.â€Â
“Hold her…â€Â
They let go of her mouth and yanked her head back by her hair. She tried to scream again and they shoved a greasy rag in her mouth, pushing it in so far it made her gag. They wrapped that with a bandanna.
Then things got bad.
The man holding her took the neck of her polo shirt in both hands and ripped. The shirt tore almost in two but stayed tucked into her pants, exposing her bra and her soft white belly. The men laughed and squeezed her breasts, kneading them hard.
“Look at those…â€Â
“I told you…â€Â
One of them began biting her neck. She felt him press his body against her ass. Hands ran down her belly and unbuttoned her pants. They were tugged down to her ankles and pulled off over her shoes.
“Push her over dude.â€Â
They bent her over the desk and cut her panties off with the knife. She heard a zipper coming undone, and then hands were running over her bare ass. Her bra was cut open, and the material tickled as it slipped down her arms.
“Told you they were big. Big fuckin’ tits.†A hoarse whisper, right at her ear. “Let’s cut ‘em off. We’ll keep ‘em for trophies…â€Â
Stephanie whimpered. They laughed.
“I got so fuckin’ horny, sittin’ in that closet with all the porn boxes…â€Â
Behind her, Stephanie heard somebody spit. A second later, her ass cheeks were spread open, and something big and hard was rubbing her bottom. The guy behind her lathered his spit on his dick and forced the head an inch or so into her pussy.
“All right bitch. I’m gonna fuck you ‘till you bleed.â€Â
Strong hands wrapped around her waist and squeezed, and the man rammed forward with his hips, driving his cock into her. Her eyes flew open as pain tore through her. Stephanie screamed into the gag.
The men laughed louder.
The pain was excruciating. It hurt so bad she had to gasp for breath. With each thrust the man raping her pounded her stomach into the sharp edge of the desk, making the pain even more acute.
The other man laughingly pinched her nose shut, completely cutting off her air. Stephanie panicked and kicked her feet, losing her balance and driving her body forward, crushing away what little breath remained. Her body began to twitch and spasm.
“She tight?â€Â
“Oh, yeah…â€Â
Blackness started to close in. A strange, detached part of Stephanie’s mind idly wondered if they were going to kill her. The fingers holding her nose moved back to her tits, and she was able to draw air again, in fits and spurts.
Enough to keep her conscious, which was maybe worse.
Eventually, the man raping her established a rhythm. She could feel her ass ripple each time his belly smacked into her. She tried to time her breathing to that, and for a minute, it worked. She was almost able to tune out and let her mind drift.
She could pretend she was someplace else, someplace with Devin…
“Man, I want some too.â€Â
“Cool. Here…â€Â
The man pulled out of her and the pain eased for a moment. Then she was pulled roughly away from the desk, and Stephanie found herself face to face with the big blonde guy, John. He had his pants off, and his cock was big and purple and slick with her blood. It was sticking straight out at her, bouncing slightly. It looked almost alive, like it was stretching towards her, trying to reach her.
John grinned and sat on the floor. His cock pointed straight up from his crotch. The other man, Reg, pushed her down until she was straddling John, and they levered her around until the head of his cock angled back into her pussy. Standing behind her, Reg put his hands on her shoulders and pushed hard.
Stephanie moaned into the gag as the big dick sunk back inside her. John grabbed her around the neck and pulled her forward, holding her torso down against his chest. She heard another zipper open. Reg spit on his cock and pulled her ass-cheeks wide apart.
“When does that shit you gave her start to work?â€Â
John started to grind his hips in a circle. He smiled happily. God, this bitch is so fucking tight, he thought. He wondered if Devin had fucked her. John could picture him doing it, just like the night when they’d fucked his mom three long years ago. The night before he went to prison. There had been times since when he thought he’d never see a building without bars. He never wanted to see one again.
“Just a few minutes.â€Â
“Fuck’n-A.â€Â
Stephanie cried pitifully as the man behind her spit on her asshole and rubbed it in with a thick, scarred thumb, lubricating her. She screamed again, shaking her head when she felt the tip of his cock push into her butt.
Reg just smacked the side of her head with his hand. “We told you to shut-up, you stupid fucking cunt. Don’t you listen?â€Â
He grabbed her shoulders and dug his nails into her flesh until she bled. He jerked his hips forward with quick, hard thrusts. Reg didn’t give a shit about her. It had been a long time since he’d fucked a bitch, and all he wanted to do was bust a nut as fast as he could. If it hurt her, so what? He kind of liked to hear her scream.
He just didn’t want any cops showing up.
Actually, hearing the little cunt scream and cry was a huge turn on. He reached around and grabbed a big handful of her huge tits and squeezed her nipples as he pushed his cock in her ass, until he was in up to his balls.
When both men were securely inside her, Stephanie let out a heart-rending wail, screeching until her voice was hoarse.
They grunted like pigs while they fucked her, pounding as hard and fast as they could. Pain and shame combined into a sick feeling of dread that spread from the pit of her stomach up and down her spine. Her voice almost gone, Stephanie let out a long, hitching moan. Both the men laughed.
“Did you hear that?†The man tearing into her rectum chuckled. “Bitch likes it, man!â€Â
The room began spinning around her then, and the walls bent inwards. John’s bearded face contorted like she was staring at him through a funhouse mirror.
Whatever drugs they had given her were kicking in.
“Fuck, yeah Reg. Told you she would. She just needed a little help…â€Â
John scrunched his face when he was ready to come. His partner in crime, Reg, had stopped talking and was banging the bitch harder now too. He was grunting and the veins in his forehead stood out in bold relief. A few more thrusts and they both shot their loads into the little cow.
She moaned again.
Her eyes had glazed over and rolled back in her head. She looked so out of it; John was sure she didn’t even know what was happening to her anymore. Better for her, he figured.
Reg shoved himself away from her immediately after his orgasm subsided and pulled up his pants, the shit and blood from her anus still smeared on his dick. The girl flopped forward on John. That was okay with him. He wanted to make the sex last as long as he could.
She was sprawled out, half on his chest, half on the floor. Her body was twitching all over. He pulled her into a more comfortable position on top of him and shut his eyes. He let his cock shrivel up in her snatch. Listening to her labored breathing, feeling the heat from her body, John almost felt peaceful.
There had been plenty of sex in prison, but not anything he wanted. This on the other hand…
When he opened his eyes again, Reg was dressed and was busy scraping money off the desk into a plastic bag. “Come on. Don’t fall asleep, you shit-head. We need to get the fuck outta here.â€Â
“Yeah.†Reluctantly, John rolled the girl off onto the floor. He was almost gentle with her. She flopped over, as boneless and pliable as a rag doll. Her thick, glossy hair covered her face. John touched it, tucked a strand behind her ear with his finger.
She has a nice face, he thought. Stupid earrings though.
Reg scooped up the bills that had fallen to the floor like dead leaves. He nodded at the stoned girl. “Whaddaya want to do with her?â€Â
John thought about ripping out her earrings. They were fucking ugly. Big, stupid hoops that dangled down to her shoulders. Instead, he buttoned up his jeans. “We’ll take her with us.â€Â
“Cool.†Reg grinned, showing stained yellow teeth that had been filed down to sharp points. “My very own fuck toy. I like it.â€Â
John picked Stephanie up and easily tossed her over his shoulder. “Okay. Let’s get her into the van.â€Â

Epilogue
The police took Lindsay’s statement about the robbery first thing on Saturday morning. When she arrived to open the store and found the doors unlocked and the alarm shut off she knew something was wrong. Then, when she saw the mess in the office – all the coins and a few small bills strewn on the floor and the remains of Stephanie’s torn clothing, she panicked.
And called me.
Swan and I got back to my apartment late and had been awake for most of the night, cutting together the digital footage we’d taken of Nancy and the sailors, and we were taking a break. Swan was snoring on my couch, and I was drinking a strawberry and banana smoothie, craving bed, but thinking that if I fell asleep now, I’d never get up. Better to keep working and let adrenaline carry me through until later that night.
That’s when my cell phone started ringing.
I called the police, let an exhausted Swan know what was going on and drove over to try to help. It took me about fifteen minutes with traffic. I found Lindsay sitting on the curb sobbing. There wasn’t a police car in sight. When the police finally did show up about a half-hour later, it was just one patrol car, and things just got worse.
It seemed to me like the cop was more convinced that the robbery had been staged than he was about listening to Lindsay or finding out what had happened. He got a little more serious about it when Stephanie’s mom started calling, wondering where the hell her daughter was.
Then things started happening fast.
The cop radioed in for help. I was questioned, and so were Lindsay and the rest of the store’s employees. The police asked Lindsay if there was a security system that might have a videotape. I groaned audibly when she informed them that the system had been turned off. Stephanie’s father came to the store and threw a fit, shouting obscenities at Lindsay for letting Stephanie work alone.
The police had to restrain him. I called to inform the owners, and they spoke with the officers as well. The day went on like that, until the police let me take Lindsay home early that afternoon. When we were alone in my car, she lost it.
I held her while she cried, parked outside her apartment, and spent the rest of the afternoon with her, sitting together on her couch. Eventually she fell asleep. I tucked a blanket around her shoulders and crept out. I locked the door behind me and went home myself. Swan was still there, working on my computer.
I filled him in and crashed myself. I hadn’t slept in more than a day and a half, and things were getting blurry. When I woke up it was dark outside, Swan was gone, and there were about thirty messages on my cell phone.
One of the messages was from Lindsay, thanking me for my help and asking if I could come back over, or call her when I got the message. She left her home number. I called her back and got her answering machine and left a quick voicemail. Then I ate a turkey sandwich and went back to sleep.
Three days later, Stephanie’s disappearance was all over the local news. Her family and friends were putting a lot of effort in trying to locate her: they took out radio and television spots, placed large ads in the local newspaper, posted missing person flyers all around town, and bothered the police to no end. A whole bunch of effort that elicited no real results.
Another couple of days and the story was no longer the big news. So except for the tattered flyers streaming from telephone poles and fading in shop windows, the public slowly forgot about her.
And then, exactly two weeks after she disappeared, a jogger out for a brisk morning run found Stephanie, stoned out of her mind, wandering around in a deserted stretch of SouthTaborPark. Her hands were tied behind her back and she was naked, bruised and battered, but she was alive. The jogger called 911 on her cell phone, and suddenly Stephanie was back in the news.
Front page on my morning newspaper as a matter-of-fact, sandwiched between the day’s weather forecast and an investigative report on some high school cheerleader scandal. I read what the article had to say. There wasn’t a lot of new information, or details to anything I hadn’t already doped out.
Basically, she’d been drugged, kidnapped and raped by at least two men, but that was about it. I offered up a silent prayer, hoping she’d be okay.
And then Stephanie’s family started calling me, leaving me dozens of voice messages. They got my phone number from the police. Stephanie was asking for me. She wouldn’t talk to anyone else; not her family, not the police.
What could I do?
I called back and made plans to visit.
***
My heart flip-flopped while I stood on Stephanie’s front porch. I knocked and waited, feeling my guts churn together. Stephanie’s mom answered the door and ushered me inside. She offered me a weak smile and asked if I’d like something to drink.
“No, thanks, Mrs.…,†I started. She waved a hand in the air.
“Please, call me Kelly.â€Â
“Okay.â€Â
Kelly nodded and motioned for me to sit. I perched uncomfortably on the edge of a blue recliner. She chose the couch, and began to talk.
Stephanie had only been in the hospital long enough to have a broken wrist set, her scrapes and cuts bandaged, and to have a battery of tests run that all rape victims have to suffer through. Then she’d been released into her family’s care.
Now she was home; tucked safely away in her own room in a nice, comfortable house that was filled to overflowing with knickknacks and family pictures and everything else that made a house a home. I knew Stephanie had a bunch of siblings. Today, nobody else was around except for her mom. Not even her father. To me, the atmosphere inside the house seemed about as carefree as a morgue following a gang war.
Stephanie’s mom talked about trivial things for a time, then she pinned me to my seat with a glare. “I want to ask you something.â€Â
“Okay…?â€Â
“Why…why is my daughter asking to see you?â€Â
That sour feeling in my gut turned into a lead ball and my mouth went dry. I shrugged helplessly. It was a damn good question, and I really didn’t have much of an answer.
***
I followed Kelly down a hallway festooned with pictures; frames hung so close together the wallpaper barely showed. Stephanie’s bedroom was the last door on the left. Kelly knocked and opened the door without waiting for a answer.
“Hi honey. Devin’s here.†I heard a mumbled response. Kelly nodded at me and frowned again. I slipped inside and she looked past me. “Just call if you need anything.â€Â
She closed the door softly behind me, leaving me alone with her daughter. Stephanie was propped up in bed, her broken wrist sheathed in a pink cast resting on the bedcovers. Her face was still black and blue and scraped from the beating she’d taken, but the swelling had mostly gone down. She looked a little dazed, like she’d just woken up. A straight-backed wood chair stood next to her bed.
I didn’t know what else to do, so I tried a smile and stood by the door like an idiot. She motioned me closer. I realized that I’d been holding my breath. I let it out in a whoosh.
“Hi.†I said.
Stephanie was wearing a light, sleeveless nightgown. She tried to sit up and the sheet covering her drooped. I got a good look at the bruises and bite marks covering her neck and shoulders, the cuts and scrapes beginning to heal on her arms and wrists. I started to sit in the chair, but she shook her head. She patted the side of the bed.
“Sit…here…†she said weakly.
Her voice was raw. I sat down carefully and spent a moment trying to look at anything but her, and then she touched my hand. It took a force of will not to jerk away, to keep my hand under hers. I tried to look her in her eyes, but mine kept drifting. I ground my teeth, and my jaw popped.
“Devin…â€Â
“Why won’t you talk to the police?†The question just burst out. “They need to know what happened. They can…â€Â
She was crying. I shut up, feeling like a jerk, and reached out to touch her face.
“Stephanie…â€Â
She flinched. I snapped my hand back. She finally looked away, and suddenly I felt even worse. I put my hands in my lap and stared at them.
“Steph…I don’t know what to do.â€Â
She nodded. After a while she wiped the tears away and started talking, speaking in short, clipped bursts. I kept quiet. She told me everything she remembered. When she finished she was weeping again, big, wet tears spilling down her cheeks.
But this time she reached out for me. I held her shuddering body for a long time, letting a new anger burn inside me.
***
Kelly walked me out. From the look on her face it was clear she had a hundred questions to ask me, but I wasn’t the person to answer any of them. Stephanie would do that once she was ready, and I promised her that I wouldn’t say anything. I just thanked her mom before I left and wished her a good night.
John, she’d told me. It was John, and someone else.
I hadn’t thought of John or his mom in years. I thought he was still in prison. His mom had moved back to Germany not long after I started college. I thought about what we’d done to his mom the night before John was sentenced, and what I’d done to her after. I thought about what he did to Stephanie, and what I’d just put Nancy through.
John.
Guilt and frustration burned my gut as I left.
I was calling Swan on my cell phone before I even reached my car.
***
The police had searched the park where the jogger had found Stephanie, and the surrounding neighborhood. They decided that whoever had raped her had dumped her in the park and left the area. I had a different opinion.
Swan and I parked my car across from the old ballpark. Each of us dug a length of old pipe out the trunk. I locked the car, and then we crossed the street and jumped a rusty chain-link fence. The park was dark, even here; lit only by one buzzing streetlamp.
John and I used to play baseball here as kids, but now the dirt field was muddy and overgrown with weeds. Swan followed closely behind me. I could barely see him in the dark.
“You sure you want to do this?â€Â
I grunted a yes. We picked our way around the mud and I led Swan past the old picnic tables and day camps, into several miles of woods.
The police might not be able to find John, but I was sure I could.
***
I clicked on a small flashlight and found the trail without much trouble. The trail curved north, away towards the river and the industrial area. We followed it for about a mile, until it opened up along the railroad tracks, and followed those to the old train station.
The train station had been abandoned forever, condemned by the city for fear of asbestos poisoning. It was cheaper, if not safer, to board the building up than to tear it down, so that’s what they did. All the neighborhood kids used to sneak out here to play, until bums and junkies took it over. If our parents had known, we all would have been grounded in perpetuity.
Eventually, even the bums and junkies left the place alone.
Memories came flooding back. I closed my eyes, and my mind conjured up the memory of a girl covered with bruises. Swan whispered in my ear.
“This is where he’s hidin’?â€Â
I nodded silently. We plowed through a tangle of weeds, thorny, low-slung blackberry bushes and trash, until we were even with the cracked concrete steps leading up to the two huge doors that led inside, padlocked shut with a rusty chain. To the left of the steps were the gaping holes where the floor-to-ceiling windows had been boarded up. Most of the boards had been torn away. I caught a whiff of cigarette smoke over the smell of urine, rotting wood and dead grass.
Swan sniffed the air. “Somebody’s home, smells like.â€Â
“Yeah.â€Â
We slipped inside, into the blackness, and paused to let our eyes adjust. The smoke was wafting down a flight of rickety steps, from the level above us.
“Careful,†I said. “The floor wasn’t good when I was a kid, and there’s probably old needles and crap in all this garbage.â€Â
“Right on.â€Â
The steps groaned underfoot but held our weight. When I was about level with the top of the stairs, I could make out a soft glow coming from off to the right.
We saw each other at exactly the same moment.
John was stretched out on a dirty blanket with a can of cheap beer clutched in his hand, dressed in grubby jeans and a wife-beater t-shirt. A small battery operated lantern was on the floor, giving off the soft light. On the other side of the lantern, a skinhead was snoring in a sleeping bag. Crushed beer cans, cigarette butts mixed with the dry leaves and other trash littering the floor.
John smiled at me. “Hey Dev.†He raised his beer and took a slug. “What took you so long? I thought that fat little bitch would’ve told you where we were already.â€Â
“I thought the police already checked here,†I said, and made sure the pipe stayed close to my leg.
“Yeah, well,†John shrugged and crumpled the can in his fist. “One guy poked his head in here with a flashlight. Freaked Reg out, but he didn’t even come up here. I think the rats scared him.
He chugged the rest of his beer. “I missed you man,†he said, and stood up with a grunt.
John had grown while he was in prison. He’d always been taller than me, even when we were kids, but the last time I’d seen him, at the beginning of my senior year of high school when I was wrestling and lifting weights almost everyday, I probably had ten or fifteen pounds of muscle on him. Now he dwarfed me by a good head-and-a-half, and when he stretched, the heavy muscles in his arms and shoulders rippled. He was as tall as Swan with his afro, and twice as broad. John hucked the empty beer can at the skinhead.
It bounced off his skull and clattered off into the shadows. The skinhead shot out of the sleeping bag, smacking his face with his hands. A second later he blinked at Swan and me, then at John, bewildered. “What the fuck…?â€Â
“Wake up fuckhead.†John lisped through a set of missing front teeth. “Company’s here.â€Â
“What?†The skinhead pointed at us. He was shorter than me, but looked as hard as a brick. Bad prison tattoos covered most of his naked chest and back, ran up and down his arms. Swan was slouched a few feet from me, in full-on sleepy mode. The skinhead glared at him. “You know this fucking Nig…â€Â
I barely saw Swan move. One second he looked like he was going to melt into the floor, and his arm casually shot out and the skinhead clutched at crushed windpipe with both of his hands, wheezing, his eyes wide and bloodshot.
The skinhead toppled forward onto his knees. Swan kicked him in the face, knocking him backwards, and then viciously stomped on his neck until the skins’ legs were twitching, and the wheezing turned into weak gurgles. It took all of twenty seconds for Swan to put the guy down, and he hadn’t bothered to use the pipe. Swan stepped back until he was even with me, not even breathing hard, and glared hard at John, who was staring at him with a whole new respect.
“Why the fuck did you do that?â€Â
“Asshole racist motherfucker...†Swan’s eyelids began to droop again, and he shrugged. “…should’a learned some manners in jail. Nobody calls me that shit.â€Â
John was still staring when I swung my pipe like a club into his shoulder. He went down with a whimper, clutching his broken arm. He tried to scoot back, and I swung the pipe again, smashing his knee. It popped loudly, like the sound of a stick breaking.
“AHHH!†John rolled on the floor in pain, tears springing from his clenched eyes. “ Holy shit! What the fuck…!â€Â
“You hurt a friend of mine.†I stepped between his legs and swung the pipe as hard as I could into his groin. It hit with a meaty thud. My hands went numb and the shock rolled up my arms. “You fuck.â€Â
I hit him in the balls again, and then I stomped on the knee I hadn’t smashed with the pipe, ramming down on it with the heel of my boot until it crumpled like rotten wood.
John screamed and shrieked until his voice went hoarse. Swan and I could hear him even as we picked our way back up the trail.
***
We piled into my car and drove until we found an old telephone booth that still worked. I made a quick phone call to the police and gave them an anonymous tip. We dumped the pipes down a sewer, and then I drove Swan home to Desiree’s house.
“You okay?†He asked.
My hands were shaking. They had been ever since we left John writhing in garbage back at the abandoned station.
“No.â€Â
“You take care of what you need to, you know?†He patted my shoulder. His voice was surprisingly gentle, after what I’d just seen him do. “You’ll get over it.â€Â
I nodded and squeezed the steering wheel until my knuckles popped. Swan quietly backed out of the car. Desiree opened her front door as he meandered up the steps. She offered me a world-weary smile.
I think I ignored her.
Somehow I made it home. I don’t remember the drive at all, nothing until I found myself naked, huddled in a corner under a shower that had run cold.
I’ve done some awful things in my life. But twice now, over the last few weeks, I’d discovered that I was capable of doing horrible things, committing heinous crimes without batting an eye.
I felt hollow inside, like something had torn away huge chunks of whatever I had left of my soul, leaving just a shell of flesh and bone and blood.
Jimmy woke with a start. He was breathing hard and covered in sweat.
"Oh. Wow." He said to himself. "What a dream."
It was the beginning of summer, his last summer before high school. School was due to let out for vacation in a week, and the weather had already turned hot and humid; even with the air-conditioning going, last night it was in his room hot enough that he’d torn apart his bed while he slept.
His thin sheet lay in a crumpled ball on the floor next to his futon mattress. The clock on the dresser said it was just past

six on Saturday morning.
"Whew."
Jimmy wiped his face and looked down at his boxer underpants. They were wet and sticky. His pecker was hanging limply out of the hole. Jimmy was rapidly losing his sleep-boner, along with the last remaining threads of the dream.
"Man, not again. Yuck."
Anotherwet dream, he thought with a yawn. Third one this week.
Jimmy rolled out of bed, still yawning and knuckling sleep from his eyes. He slipped out of his baggy-boxers and kicked them over to the clothes hamper by the dresser. The dirty underpants flumped into the corner, and they left a wet smear on the wall.
Jimmy sighed with all the resigned frustration his thirteen year old body could muster and padded naked over to the hamper, picked up the underpants and tossed them in with the rest of his dirty clothes, shoving them down towards the bottom of the pile.
For a split-second he hoped that his mom would do some laundry this weekend, because he was running out of clean underwear. Just as quickly he hoped she wouldn’t, because she was sure to ask why his clothes were all damp and gross.
"Oh, uh-uh. No way. Forget that."
He squished the underpants as far down into the hamper as they’d go.
"There."
He wiped his hands off on an old pair of pajamas, and figuring that since he was already awake, he might as well stay up.
Jimmy pulled the blinds and let the early sun shine in through his open windows. The air smelled fresh and clean. A warm breeze blew over his damp skin and made him shiver. He took a deep breath and stretched, inhaling until the muscles in his chest and shoulders popped.
His eyes traveled from his second story window, over the backyard and the weedy, overgrown lawn (I gotta mow that today or mom’ll kill me…) and across the back fence to Mrs. Wilson’s house, then up to the deck and her bedroom windows.
And there she was - Mrs. Wilson - framed in the open windows. She was dancing around, swaying her hips and tossing her long, curly blonde hair around.
"Hey. Hey!" Jimmie gasped and ducked, literally falling to the floor. He carefully peeked out over the windowsill, his eyes wide and staring. "Omigod!"
Suddenly his pecker was standing back up at full attention.
"Wow," he whispered. "Oh, wow."
Mrs. Wilson was tall - taller than Jimmy’s dad, even - and she was older than either of his parents. She’d bought the house behind theirs and moved in a couple of months before, and Jimmy immediately got a serious case of the boners over her.
She reminded him of the models in his mom’s women’s magazines: just on the verge of middle age, but still pretty, with lots of soft curves in all the right places. In fact, Jimmy’s mom told him Mrs. Wilson actually published her favorite magazine, something called Living Single.
His mom started reading it after The Divorce. There was always some forty or fifty-ish woman on the cover, usually dancing alone in a field of flowers or strolling on the beach at sunset with their bare feet splashing in the waves; something silly like that.
Jimmy didn’t care. When his mom wasn’t around, he’d flip through and read the articles, look at the ads and pictures of ladies in lingerie and stuff. And there was always an article or two about sex, usually explaining how a woman could...well, better please herself.
He thought they were really informative. Jimmy wondered if his mom did all the stuff the articles suggested. A few days ago he and Andy searched his mom’s room. They found a dildo hidden in her nightstand along with some sexy underwear that got Andy really excited.
He asked Jimmy if he could keep the underwear. Jimmy said sure, even though knowing what Andy was probably gonna do with them freaked him out. Andy wanted to keep the dildo too, but Jimmy put his foot down. He told Andy she’d probably miss it. And what would he say if she figured out they’d been snooping? They’d be busted for sure.
"Yeah, okay." Andy thought about it while he was busy sniffing a pair of lacy white panties. He nodded wisely. "You’re probably right."
Lying in bed later that night, Jimmy started thinking about Mrs. Wilson, and what sort of stuff she might have hidden in her dresser drawers.
That got him all kinds of horny. He had his first wet dream right after he fell asleep. Jimmy thought about her every night for the past week. He couldn’t stop jacking off either, but it wasn’t helping, apparently. Last night’s nocturnal emission and his current boner being proof.
Right now, Mrs. Wilson was standing at the foot of her bed, folding clothes and dancing along to some song on the radio. Jimmy had a great view; he couldn’t take his eyes off of her boobs. They were nice and full with big pink nipples, and they kept jiggling and bouncing around as she shook out her clothes.
Suddenly his hormones were pumping, and it seemed like all the blood in his body zipped down to his Johnson. He felt woozy, lightheaded. His cock throbbed and bumped up against his belly, ready - no, screaming for action.
Mrs. Wilson snapped a pair of khaki pants and folded them neatly. She leaned across her bed, reaching for a blouse. She gave up and stepped around the side. Jimmy muttered to himself under his breath.
"C’mon. Let’s see it," he said, licking dry lips. "C’mon, a little more this way, just a little more…YES! There it is! We have bush!"
He pumped his hand in the air.
"Wow! If Andy could see this…"
Andy was the only person he’d told about his wet dreams. Jimmy knew he’d understand, wouldn’t goof on him once he found out. Andy thought Mrs. Wilson was hot too, and was a little jealous of Jimmy for living close enough to be able to spy through her bedroom window.
Jimmy something on Andy, too. After he spilled his guts about Mrs. Wilson, Andy let him in on his little secret: he told Jimmy how much he wanted to fuck his - Jimmy’s - mom.
Andy was always horny. He jerked off constantly, whacking his pud whenever he got the chance, and it didn’t matter where. During school he usually walked around with a big old boner sticking out of his pants. Andy stole his older brother’s porno magazines in his constant search for new jack off material, and he was always snooping around his sisters’ rooms, trying to get a peek of them and their friends in the buff. He’d even drilled a hole through the back of his closet into his mom’s room so he could snap nasty pictures of her while she got dressed, or showered, or whatever.
After he first met Jimmy’s mom, Andy got so horny he offered to give him some pictures of his mom in her nightgown in trade for some of Jimmy’s mother in hers.
Jimmy just laughed and said no thanks.
He’d never really thought about it before (it was his mom, after all. Why would he think about stuff like that?), but Jimmy supposed his mom was sort of cute - for a mom anyway. She used to be a cheerleader in high school, and still had a tiny, tight, tan little body. But Andy’s mom was short and fat and, well, kinda goofy looking. Andy looked pretty much just like her, just shorter and fatter.
So Jimmy didn’t really want the pictures, but he took the camera anyway, just in case. And when he gave Andy some of his mom’s panties, well, Andy got so excited, Jimmy thought he’d cum in his pants.
Anything for a pal.
Andy liked to come over after school and eat dinner with Jimmy and his mom. He’d stare at his mom’s ass and her boobs while they ate, and then offer to help her wash the dishes. Jimmy’s mom liked Andy a lot; she said because he was always so sweet and helpful.
Yeah, Jimmy often thought while they laughed and goofed around in the kitchen. If you knew why he was always so helpful you’d shit a brick.
After dinner he’d usually hang out and they’d all watch TV or a movie together, and lately when it got dark they’d both go up to Jimmy’s room and "do homework". Truthfully, they’d sit at Jimmy’s desk and train his telescope and binoculars on Mrs. Wilson’s windows, hoping and praying that they might catch a little glimpseof her.
But they never did.
Until now.
"Andy’ll never believe this."
Jimmy shook his head sadly.
"Hey - where’s his camera…"
He looked around and couldn’t find the camera, but noticed his new cell phone lying on his desk, charging. His dad had given it to him for his birthday, just a couple days ago. He smacked himself on the head.
"Wow. Even better."
Across the fence, Mrs. Wilson was slipping a bra strap over her arm. Jimmy groaned happily, his hard-on twitching. He unplugged his phone and snapped open the flip-top, pressed the button for the video function, pointed the camera at the glass doors and focused. He pressed the record button, and then zoomed in as close on her as he could.
A couple minutes later, Mrs. Wilson was dressed in a plain white tank-top, faded khaki walking shorts and sandals. She grabbed a small clutch purse and left her bedroom. Jimmy watched her blue Mercedes pull out of the garage and drive down the street until it disappeared around a corner. Then he booted up his computer.
It took a few moments to upload the video to his laptop. Jimmy saved the file in the cheap movie editing software his mom bought for his last birthday. He goofed around a bit until he got the picture quality the best he could.
Then he emailed Andy and sent him a little surprise.
For the rest of the morning, Jimmy sat at his desk, playing with himself and watching the video loop he’d created of Mrs. Wilson. That is, until his mom started banging on his locked door, yelling for him to wake up and mow the lawn.
***
Jimmy was almost finished with the yard work when the Mrs. Wilson came home. She parked in her driveway and walked through her yard with an armful of groceries. She smiled and waved to him, and Jimmy waved a grubby hand back.
He swallowed hard and felt himself getting another boner. He watched her ass swish as she crossed to her patio and set the bag down on a picnic table. She came back and leaned against the fence, rested her chin on her folded hands and waited patiently, watching him work.
Jimmy shot quick glances at her, wondering what was up, why she was watching him. He was suddenly feeling very self-conscious of his messy morning hair and dirty, sweaty clothes.
He wanted to run inside and take a hot shower. Or maybe a cold shower.
Instead, he stopped the mower at the edge of the lawn and cut the power. Mrs. Wilson smiled and stood up straight.
"Hey, Jimmy. Nice job."
Jimmy blushed. "Thanks."
"If you’re not too busy, how about doing mine?"
"Uh, well...really?"
"Sure. How does twenty bucks sound? I’ll even throw in a pitcher of lemonade if you edge it for me."
"Okay. Sure thing, Mrs. Wilson. I’m almost done here."
"Great. Come on inside when you’re finished and we’ll have a drink."
Shit, Jimmy thought, grinning like a fool. I would’a done it for free.
"Oh, Jimmy?"
Mrs. Wilson glanced back before she took her groceries into the house. He quickly shifted his gaze off her butt and back up to her baby brown eyes.
"Yeah?"
"Why don’t you call me Grace."
***
"Seriously?"
Andy was sitting on Jimmy’s bed, leaning over so far he was slipping off. He’d come over for dinner, and afterwards - as usual - they ran up to Jimmy’s bedroom and locked the door, leaving Jimmy’s mom to do the dishes.
They spent the next half hour watching the video over and over with the window open and the camera’s at the ready, hoping for another peek.
"You’re not shittin’ me? She told you to call her by her first name?"
Jimmie finishing his story, relating the first part of his morning to an astonished Andy, and was winding up for the big finish.
"Yep. And guess what?"
Andy scootched forward even further. The opposite side of the bed slowly rose a few inches off the floor, and hovered there.
"What?"
"She’s not really married anymore."
"Serious?"
Jimmy nodded. "She lives there all alone. She’s divorced. She told me."
"Wow."
Andy sat back to digest this new morsel of information. The bed fell back to the floor with a thunk.
"A single, super-hot older woman asked you over for a drink. Wow. She wants you, man. Seriously. Did ya fuck her?"
"No. Jeez, Andy. We just talked for a few minutes."
"Oh." He was obviously disappointed, but perked up a little and said: "You shoulda spilled some of the lemonade on her, man. I bet you could’a got her shirt off, at least."
Jimmy grinned and shook his head.
"You’re crazy, man. But listen, here’s the deal." Andy leaned forward again. "Mrs. Wil...er, Grace, she wants me to take care of her lawn for the summer."
"Aww...So?" Andy looked confused. "That just means you’re gonna have to work all summer."
"Yeah," Jimmy agreed. "That kinda sucks. But she’s gonna pay me to do it, along with free lunches, which is cool. And check it out..."
Jimmy reached into the pocket of his jeans, dug around and pulled out a small, shiny object. He held up his hand for Andy to see.
"She gave me a key to her house."
***
A week later school let out, and the temperature really began to heat up.
Andy was spending even more time at Jimmy’s house, either spending the night or getting there first thing in the morning to eat breakfast with Jimmy and his mom before she went off to work.
He usually tried to get there before Jimmy woke up.
He’d knock at the back door and wait until Jimmy’s mom would let him in. Then they’d go into the kitchen and he’d scrunch himself into the little breakfast nook and wait for Jimmy to get up, happily watching Jimmy’s mom as she bustled around the kitchen in her sexy, fitted business suits, sipping her coffee and watching the morning news on the little color television on the counter.
Eventually Jimmy would stumble down from his room and join Andy at the table. His mom would kiss the top of his head and ruffle Andy’s hair before she left for the day. They’d usually spend the rest of the day lounging out by the pool, talking trash, or inside watching movies and playing video games.
But not today.
"Hey," Jimmy grunted, slurping down a bowl of cold cereal. "I gotta cut Mrs. Wilson’s grass today."
"Cool!"
"You gonna help?"
"Aww, man, I dunno. My allergies are killin’ me…"
Jimmy dangled the key and grinned. "You sure? The quicker we finish, the sooner we can check out her house. Maybe steal some panties? Huh? C’mon. You know you want to."
"Shit." Andy shrugged. "Okay."
***
They finished just before noon. Andy edged the yard while Jimmy mowed the grass. Jimmy was dumping out the bag when Andy started shouting.
"Jimmy! Hey!"
He was at the patio doors, waving a slip of paper.
"She made you lunch!"
Jimmy hooked the bag back on the mower and ambled over, wiping sweat out of his eyes.
"Really? Lemme see."
Andy handed him the note.
"She said she made sandwiches and lemonade and they’re in the ‘fridge and to help yourself."
Jimmy was beaming. "Hungry?"
"Heck yeah!"
They let themselves in with the key and found a plate piled with ham sandwiches, a container of homemade potato salad and a huge pitcher of fresh lemonade tucked away in the refrigerator. She’d made more than enough for two. Andy nudged by Jimmy and dug into a sandwich with gusto. They made themselves at home and decimated the food. Afterwards, Andy patted his swollen gut and belched
"What a woman."
"Yeah."
"She can cook for me any day."
"Yup," Jimmy agreed.
"Why do you think she made so much?"
Jimmy shrugged around a mouthful of sandwich. "Dunno."
"Hey, y’wanna have a look around?"
Jimmy knew exactly what Andy meant. "Sure."
They grinned at each other. A minute later they were standing in the doorway to Mrs. Wilson’s bedroom, staring at her dresser.
Jimmy cleared his throat. "We’ve gotta be careful."
"Yeah," Andy nodded.
"Put everything back where we found it."
"Okay."
Andy stepped forward into the room and yanked open a drawer. Jimmy stood with his eyes closed and breathed in the smell of Mrs. Wilson’s home.
"Your mom looked really nice this morning."
"Um. Really?"
"Yeah. Ooo, look!" Andy held up a sheer pink nightgown. "Hey, you ever think about your mom dressed up like this?"
"What?" Jimmy stared. "No way."
"No really. Don’t you think she’d look really sexy?"
"Dude, please."
"What?"
"You’re talking about my mom."
"Yeah, I know. So?"
"So she’s my mom!"
Andy shrugged, unconcerned. "I’d do her, if she was my mom."
"Yeah, I bet you would, ya sicko."
"Sex is sex man. That’s what my brother always says." Andy pawed through the drawers, held up a black teddy. "What about this?" He examined the black lace, running his hands over the material. "Look, there’s no crotch! Easy access!" He stuck his fingers through a hole in the crotch and wiggled them around.
"Jee-sus, man. Will you cut it out?"
"What?" Andy looked bewildered. "Hey, look, it’s not just me. All the guys at school think your mom’s sexy. They talk about her all the time."
Jimmy was getting pissed. "No they don’t."
"Seriously, it’s true. Marcus, especially. Last Friday when she picked you up, he was talkin’ about how he wanted to bend her over and…"
"I said cut it out!"
Andy blinked at his friend.
"Man! You don’t know when to lay off."
Andy giggled and held up the teddy. He made a cooing sound, danced around the bed and mouthed the word, "sexy."
"Oh, fuck you."
Andy busted up and fell on the bed laughing. He covered his face with the teddy and gave it a loud rrrummsky. Jimmy had to laugh in spite of himself.
"You know she’s cute, man." Andy grinned through the soft material. "Don’t tell me you’ve never thought about doin’ it to her. Why else would you go through her stuff with me?"
"Will you shut up already?"
"You ever take any of her panties or anything and jack off with ‘em?"
"Shit." Jimmy closed his eyes tight. For some reason the image of his mom in the little teddy popped into his head, and his Johnson shifted in his underpants. "Yeah. But onlyonce."
"Riiight. Once." Andy laughed, then sighed and stretched out, wriggling on the bed.
"I’d do her. I dream about it sometimes, that your mom’d be my first time. Just like with you and Mrs. Wilson."
"Fuck off, man. You’re gonna have to fix those covers."
"Oh, shit." He stood up and fluffed the pillows, then smoothed out the wrinkles he’d made in the bedspread. "But really, I would. You’ve seen how your mom looks at me in the mornings. You know what?"
"What?"
"I bet ya that sometime this summer, she’ll come on to me while you’re still upstairs sleeping."
"You’ve been reading too many porno magazines. Shit like that doesn’t really happen."
"It doesn’t?"
"No way."
"Well, crap."
Andy almost managed to look hurt.
"Aw, Man. I’m just messin’ with you anyway."
"Sure."
Andy stuffed the teddy back in the drawer and flipped through more clothes; bra’s and panties, some plain cotton nightgowns. "Hey, where do you think Mrs. Wilson keeps her dildo? I can’t find it in here."
"I dunno." Jimmy thought about it for a second. "You think she really has one?"
"Sure." Andy nodded wisely. "My brother says that every chick has at least one. Your mom did, didn’t she?" Jimmy nodded. "I told you she would. There’s gotta be one around here somewhere."
"What about in the nightstand, like my mom?" Jimmy pulled open a drawer and rooted through a collection of books and knickknacks. "I bet if she has one, she’d want to keep it close so she wouldn’t have’ta get out of bed…"
Andy thought about it. "Yeah. Hey, yeah! That’s a good idea."
Jimmy found it in the bottom drawer.
"Holy shit."
Andy was peering over the other side of the bed, trying to see. "What? You get it? What is it?"
Jimmy lifted it out, his eyes wide.
"Holy shit." Andy echoed.
The dildo was massive, easily as long as either of the boys’ forearms, and just as thick, with a pair of heavy, molded plastic balls the size of a small apple at the base.
"Wow."
Andy looked up at Jimmy and the buddies grinned.
"Told ya she’d have one."
***
They were back at Jimmy’s house later that evening. Jimmy was at his desk, playing with his phone and staring at the dark windows of Mrs. Wilson’s house, waiting for her to come home from work. Andy was lying on his bed, sorting through the little pile of panties he’d stolen, smelling the crotches of each pair.
"Wouldn’t it be cool if we could get her here with your mom sometime, and…and…like, get ‘em both drunk, or something, and then hump ‘em?"
"Uh," Jimmy grunted.
"We could take turns," Andy rolled onto his stomach. "Or we could double team ‘em."
Jimmy rolled his eyes. "Man, that’ll never happen."
"Why not?"
"Look, I know what you’re thinking, but people write about that shit for those magazines so guys like you can jerk off. They’re stories, you know? They don’t really happen. Some teenager doesn’t just get lucky with the sexy neighbor after he mows her yard."
Andy rolled back over. "Well, I think it could. Even if the letters are fake."
"Whatever."
"No, really. I…"
Suddenly, Andy got really quiet. Jimmy looked over at his friend, wondering if he’d finally pissed him off.
Andy was staring at a itty-bitty g-string, smiling like a maniac. Suddenly, he rolled over. He had a crazy gleam in his eyes.
"What if it did happen. Would you fuck her?"
"Who? Mrs. Wilson? Or my mom?"
He was kidding, but Andy nodded.
"Either of ‘em. Both of them. What if?"
Jimmy thought about it. He looked long and hard at the panties spread out on his bed, the video of the naked Mrs. Wilson playing as a screensaver on his computer.
"Yeah, I guess so. But…"
Andy jumped off the bed and gathered most of the panties in his arms.
"Cool. I’ve got an idea."
"What are you talking about?"
"Just chill out. I’ve got an idea." He unlocked Jimmy’s door. "I’ll see you tomorrow.
"Okay," Jimmy said.
But Andy was already gone.
ÂÂ
Later that night he and his mom went out to dinner, at a nice Italian place they both liked. For some reason he couldn’t explain, Jimmy was uncomfortably aware of the way guys were looking at her. She seemed to be oblivious to the attention, but all during dinner, the waiter and the busboys took turns scoping her out. Even some of the other customers followed her with their eyes when they thought their wives or girlfriends weren’t looking.
He ate his lasagna in silence while his mom jabbered about her day. He studied her closely, noting how she sat, and ate and drank. How her hair looked, the way she tossed her long bangs out of her light blue eyes while she talked to their waiter.
Same thing when they stopped at their local video store. The geeky zit-faced clerks didn’t even bother to try to hide the stares as his mom sashayed up and down the aisles in her little skirt.
It made him angry, and he was surprised to admit, he felt a little jealous.
They put the movie on when the got home, something he’d picked out about a creepy mutant space alien that was kidnapping and breeding with earth women. His mom had had a couple glasses of wine during dinner, and barely a few minutes into the movie and she promptly fell asleep on the couch, with her legs tucked under a cushion and her head pillowed in Jimmy’s lap.
Jimmy didn’t think anything of it until the monster snatched its first victim, a busty teenage girl who’d been out necking with her boyfriend in a park. The monster killed the boyfriend, strangling him with a slimy black, octopus-like tentacle. Then it knocked her out and drug her back to its cave, where it tore off all of her clothes and raped her.
While he watched the movie, his Johnson got frisky and poked right up out of the band of his underpants and out of his cut-offs. He shifted a bit, trying to move to a more comfortable position. His mom murmured something in her sleep and rolled over.
One of her hands slipped under his legs, and Jimmy froze. Her face was so close to his cock, he could feel her warm breath on the tip sticking out of his shorts. He didn’t want to move because he was sure she’d wake up and be staring right at his throbbing boner.
"Oh, Jeez…" he mumbled.
He tried to get his boner to go down, to shrink right back into its usual shriveled little self, but no luck. His mom snuggled against him, and rubbed her cheek right into his crotch. Her breathing was becoming heavier and her legs moved slowly, slipping and sliding up and down. Jimmy listened to the alluring sound of her nylons whispering together.
"Ohh." She was making little, soft sounds in her sleep. "Mmm …"
Jimmy couldn’t help himself.
He looked away from the TV, where the monster was now running amok in a almost-deserted hospital, stalking a pretty blonde nurse wearing one of those sexy white nurse outfits. The thing had her cornered in an operating room. She was stabbing at the alien with a scalpel, but the monster just lashed out with one of its tentacles and tore it out of her hand. The next thing the nurse knew, she was bent over a gurney with her legs spread and her dress ripped open, a black tentacle wrapped tightly around her neck and even more pulling away her clothes, squeezing her boob and running all over her body.
"Yessss…ohh…"
His mom was moaning now, with one of her hands buried between her thighs. The top of her silk blouse had become unbuttoned, and Jimmy could see the little pink flower in the middle of her bra, where the cups came together between her breasts.
Her hips bucked and her legs scissored together, her hand moving slowly back and forth. She was moaning softly in her sleep, and her face pushed hard into his lap. Her short blonde hair had come free from the bun she’d had it pinned it up in, and was now streaming over his shorts, tickling his thighs. He could smell her perfume, the flowery stuff she liked to wear to work, and he inhaled deeply, drinking in her scent.
And then there was something else, something that smelled warm and wet; musky and…and…
And then she came.
She cried out softly and her fingernails gouged into his ass. After a moment her body relaxed, and her breathing slowed back to normal.
Jimmy sat, and stared at the television until the credits rolled and his boner took a breather, then he gently shook his mom’s shoulder.
"Mom?" He whispered. "Mom, the…movie’s over. You should go to bed."
"Mmn," she grumbled, and pushed herself straight. She was groggy, her eyelids heavy with sleep. She ran a hand through her hair, the same hand that had been pinned under Jimmy’s butt until a moment before, and smacked her lips. "Okay. How was the movie? I think I missed it."
"S’okay. You didn’t miss much."
"Good," she murmured, and kissed him wetly on his forehead. "Well, ‘night, Sweetie. I’ll see you in the morning."
"Okay."
Jimmy watched his mom pick up her high heels and shuffle down the hall to her bedroom. She flicked on the light, and then he heard water running, the sound of his mom brushing her teeth. The door to her room shut and the light went out. He waited as long as he could, until he could hear her snoring softly, before he skipped back through the DVD to the best parts of the movie.
Then he jacked off. While he watched the nurse getting strangled and raped by the freaky alien, he really tried to focus on the actress’s face. He really tried.
It almost worked.
But when the hot cum finally spurted out over his fingers, soaking the couch, he was remembering how his mom’s lips had felt when they brushed his throbbing cock as she came.
Right there, with him on the couch, just moments before.
***
He woke up on the couch with the sun pouring through the living room window and the smell of bacon and eggs in the air. His mom was singing in the kitchen. He didn’t move right away, he just laid there and listened. He always thought she had a nice voice. She’d told him once that she’d wanted to be a singer back in high school. Before she met his dad and got pregnant.
Then he remembered the entire evening, and sat bolt upright as the doorbell started ringing. He heard his mom open the door.
"Morning, Mrs. Cole."
"Well, good morning Andy. Come on in. Would you like some eggs?"
"You bet. Mm. Smells great. Hey, is Jimmy up yet?"
"No, he’s still asleep..."
"I’m awake!" Jimmy shouted, and dragged his sleepy ass into the kitchen.
"Morning Sweetie! You want some breakfast?"
His mom cheerfully kissed him on the cheek, and Jimmy felt a suddenly familiar stirring in his shorts. She was wearing a navy blue blazer and a sheer, white button up blouse over a frilly lace camisole, and a tight, dark blue skirt, slit up the side of her leg. A small string of pearls around her slim neck matched a pair of pearl earrings. She was looking beautiful, and refreshed and as spunky as if she was still eighteen years old.
Jimmy felt sick to his stomach. "No, thanks."
He pushed her away and dropped into the breakfast nook. "Okay, your loss is Andy’s gain."
She plopped a huge plate of food in front of Andy.
"Thanks, Mrs. Cole."
"Sure. Enjoy." She glanced at her watch and grabbed her purse. "Ooh. I’m running really late today. I’ll see you guys later."
The usual goodbye kiss sent Jimmy’s cock into spasms. He grimmaced and whacked his head on the table. His mom and Andy both stared at him, concerned.
"You okay, baby?"
"I’m okay. Just a headache."
She placed her cool palm on his forehead.
"Oh, Sweetie, you feel a little warm. Maybe I should stay home and..."
"No!"
Both Jimmy and his mom jumped and stared at Andy, who grinned back at them sheepishly.
"I...I mean...It’s okay. I’ll be here. You go on to work, Mrs. Cole, and I’ll watch out for him today."
Jimmy’s mom looked unconvinced.
"Are you sure?" She turned to Jimmy. "I’ve got some extra vacation I can use..."
"No. No, s’okay mom. I’m fine," Jimmy mumbled, waving her away. "Just sleepy. I’ll see you tonight."
"All right..."
Jimmy poured himself a cup of black coffee as his mom’s car pulled out of the garage. Andy was practically jumping out of his seat. Jimmy gulped a mouthful of coffee and sat down. "Ahhh. That’s a good batch."
"Hey, when did you start drinking coffee? My mom won’t even let me try it. Says I’m too young. It’ll stunt my growth."
"She’s right. Makes your dick soft, too."
"Oh, shit. That’d suck. Hey, what’s up with you this morning?" Andy wondered. "What’d you do last night that got you so grouchy? And why was your mom in such a good mood?"
Jimmy almost told him about his experience on the couch. Almost.
"I just stayed up too late. Watched a movie you’d probably like. Lotsa sex."
"Oh, cool. Maybe we can check it out later."
Even through his stupor, Jimmy could tell Andy was way more hyper than usual.
"What’s up with you? I thought you were gonna come back over last night."
"Yeah, I was. But I got busy checking something out."
"Oh, yeah? What’s that?"
Andy reached into the beat-up backpack that he’d dropped on the floor by his feet and pulled a dog-eared porno magazine. He slapped it down on the table next to Jimmy’s cup.
"Still wanna try to get Mrs. Wilson over here?"
Jimmy was mildly surprised to realize he hadn’t thought about Mrs. Wilson since…well, since last night.
"You mean, to dork her?"
Andy was grinning from ear to ear. "Yeah."
"Man, c’mon, enough’s enough. You and I both know that’s never gonna happen. And you’re never gonna hump on my mom, ‘cause we’re just kids, and...’cause she’s my mom. Jeez."
"Don’t be such a downer, man. We’re not kids anymore; just a couple more months and we’re gonna be freshman in high school. You’ve just gotta start thinking like we’re already there. Older ladies love us young studs, ‘cause we can go all night long. All the letters in here say so. Anyway, I think I figured out a way we can do it. Here, look."
Jimmy looked.
"Andy, you gotta stop thinking that those letters are from real chicks, man. Seriously. They’re all made up bullshit…"
Andy was jabbing at an ad with his fork, a big, full color advertisement smack in the middle of a page filled with grainy black and white pictures of naked people groping each other and striking super-sexy poses for the camera. His voice slowly trailed off. All of a sudden, he was remembering his mom with her head in his lap, moaning quietly, her body quivering with pleasure.
"Is this for real?
Andy nodded. "I’m pretty sure. Go get your laptop while I finish eating. I’ll show ya. Last night, I got this all worked out. I think."
"Wow."
"Yeah."
Jimmy bolted upstairs, grabbed his notebook and thundered back down to the kitchen. He plugged the computer in and booted it up while Andy scarfed down the last of his food. He pushed his dishes away and started typing, still chewing. Jimmy sat back down as Andy logged onto the internet and brought up the website in the ad.
"There it is." Andy grinned as the home page loaded, displaying a single link written in elaborate gold script and set against a royal blue background.
Welcome to Fantasy, Inc.
Andy turned the screen towards Jimmy. "Check it out."
Jimmy clicked the link and read through the site.
Andy shrugged. "What do we have to loose? Let’s just send ‘em an email and tell ‘em, y’know, what we wanna do, and see what they say?"
"Well, maybe ‘cause we could get arrested?"
"Like we couldn’t if Mrs. Wilson caught us snooping around her house?" Andy sat back with a frown. "Don’t be a pussy. We won’t get busted. C’mon."
With a sigh, Jimmy nodded. "Yeah, sure. Why not?"
Andy took control of the computer again, breezing through more questions until he found the page he wanted. At the bottom was another link:
Choose your fantasy.He grinned at Jimmy and started typing. Pretty soon, Jimmy was grinning too. After another half hour or so, figuring they got everything in the email that they could think of, Andy hit send.
"Well," Andy scratched his nose. "Guess that’s it. Wanna go watch that movie?"
ÂÂ
Halfway through the third viewing, Andy was hunched down in a leather recliner with his hands shoved deep into the pockets of his shorts, playing a game of pocket pool. The monster had crashed a house party, and was slowly picking the guys off, one by one, then raping their dates.
Andy was enthralled. Jimmy was crashed out on the couch, perusing the latest issue of Living Single, skimming through an article titled, ‘Another Lonely Evening?’ then, in smaller print: ‘Look No Further than the Lettuce Crisper’.
Amazing, the things you didn’t know a radish had uses for
"Jeez! Jimmy, will ya look at those boobs? They’re as big as my head!"
"Uh-huh. They’re not real. All plastic, my friend."
"Ahh, you’re no fun. And anyway, it’s silicone, not plastic." Andy slid off the chair. "I’m gonna check the email."
"S’only been half an hour since the last time you checked."
"Har-har-hardy-har-har. What a comedian."
Andy plinked on the keyboard, the speakers emitted a ding! and a sexy female voice intoned:
"Mailbox."
"Hey!" Andy exclaimed, excitedly jumping to his feet. He jabbed a finger at the screen "Holy crap! We did it! C’mere and read this!"
Together they scanned the email, grinning ear-to-ear.
"We can do it! They’re gonna help us set up the whole thing!" Andy grabbed a dish of fruit from the middle of the table and dumped the fruit out. He stuck the dish on his head and did a little dance. His flabby gut jiggled. "You’re gonna fuck Mrs. Wil-son. I’m gonna hump your mo-om. Oh, yeah! Uh-huh!"
Jimmy grinned at his friend and finished reading.
"Huh."
"What?"
"You didn’t read the whole thing, did you?"
"Nope." Andy peered over his shoulder. "Why?"
"’Cause they’ll help us." Jimmy frowned. "For a thousand bucks."
"Okay."
"Whattaya mean, ‘okay’?" Jimmy blinked. "Do you have a thousand dollars? I don’t have a thousand dollars. How are we gonna get…"
Andy held up his hands. "Nope, I don’t have it either." He shook his head and bounced around happily. "But you’ve got a nice lawnmower, and we’ve got a lot of rich neighbors with shaggy grass."
"You’re kidding, right?" Jimmy tried to do the math in his head. He couldn’t; the numbers kept blanking out, so he dug around for the calculator his mom kept in the junk drawer. He found it and started crunching numbers. "I mean, a thousand bucks…"
"It’s not so bad."
Lamely, Jimmy muttered, "It’s a lot of fucking work. That’s what it is."
"Jeez. And you call me lazy. You’ve gotta think big here bud."
"I’m only mowing her yard so I can…"
"Steal her underpants? Okay. We did it. It was cool. I like jacking off in the ones that I took. But now we’ve got a chance to get into her panties. While she’s still wearing them! Shit, think about it. Are you really gonna puss out on that? We won’t be the only freshmen virgins when school starts! We’re gonna be studs!"
Jimmy was shaking his head, laughing. "You’re nuts."
"Yeah, maybe." Andy stared at the ceiling. "We’ll see. Look. Mrs. Wilson’s paying you twenty bucks a week to do her yard - heh. Do her yard." Andy groped a pair of imaginary titties and humped the air for a second, then continued. "Anyway, that’s ten bucks less than the guy who mows ours charges, and you do a better job. And I’ve seen his work truck all over the neighborhood. So if we go around to those houses and tell all those people we’ll cut their yards for twenty, we just need, uh, that’s about…two yards a day a week, for…maybe a month."
"Hey, you’re right." Jimmy held up the calculator. "With money left over."
"Seriously?"
"Yeah. About a hundred bucks."
Jimmy blinked again and watched Andy boogie around the room. A flash memory of his mom’s bra under her unbuttoned shirt popped through his brain.
"Huh." He said. "I guess working outside for a few weeks doesn’t sound too bad."
***
A few weeks later, Jimmy was wiping sweat and grime from his forehead while Andy finished edging the grass along Mrs. Wilson’s flower beds. Mrs. Wilson was there as well, lying on her deck in tiny white bikini, lounging in the sun with a book and a glass of iced tea, watching the boys work over the edge of her book.
Jimmy shut off the motor to the lawnmower and she beckoned him over.
"All finished?" She smiled.
"Yep. Just about. Andy should be done in a sec."
"Great." She handed Jimmy a crisp twenty dollar bill. "Here you go."
"Thanks, Mrs. Wilson."
"Grace." She touched his hand, her fingers lingering for a moment before releasing the money. "Please."
"Right. Sorry, forgot."
"It’s all right," She purred. "Would you do me a favor?"
"Uh, okay?"
"Will you oil my back?" She handed him a small bottle of baby oil. "Please?"
Jimmy stared dumbly as Mrs. Wilson slipped her feet off the side of the lounge and turned her back to him. She pulled her long hair up in a ball at the nape of her neck and held it out of his way. She tilted her face up to the sun and closed her eyes.
"Just squirt a tiny bit on your hands, sweetie, and rub it in gently."
Jimmy squeaked something that sounded like ‘ghurrk’. He cleared his throat and tied again. "O-okay."
He squirted a dollop of the shiny warm fluid into his palm and set the bottle on the picnic table. He rubbed his hands together and took a deep breath.
Here goes
"Oh, that’s nice," she cooed.
Jimmy kept rubbing. Her skin was warm from the sun, and soft. He stared happily at the light spray of freckles sprinkled across her shoulders and chest, at her heavy breasts swinging in the bikini top, the curly wisps of hair that escaped from her fingers and blew in the breeze, tickling his hands.
Suddenly he sprouted major wood.
Oh, wow. I’m in heaven
"Down a little further, sweetheart. Be sure to get it everywhere; I don’t want to burn."
He rubbed her back in a complete daze; spreading the oil carefully down the supple curve of her spine to her slim waist and flaring hips, moistening the light dusting of blonde hair at the small of her back. She swayed and purred as he worked.
Across the yard, Andy finished with his edging and looked around. He didn’t hear the lawnmower any more, so Jimmy was probably already done. He spotted Jimmy over on the patio talking with Mrs. Wilson. Jimmy had the goofiest look on his face, like he’d been kicked in the gut. Then he noticed what Jimmy was doing to Mrs. Wilson, and the look on her face, and Andy’s eyes bugged out.
"Holy shit!" Andy grinned and loaded up his gear.
After Mrs. Wilson paid them for today, they’d have plenty of cash for The Plan. Although it looked like Jimmy didn’t really need much help. Jeez, Mrs. Wilson was practically begging him to fuck her right there on the chair. But Andy knew Jimmy wouldn’t go through with it, even if he realized how hot for him she was.
He sighed. Every freakin’ girl in school wanted to go out with Jimmy. And Jimmy had no clue. Andy figured it was gonna be the same thing in high school. Jimmy just had that kinda - what did his mom call it?
Charisma.
Jimmy had it; Andy didn’t. And he knew it.
Every day they hung out together, he knew it was never going to happen. Andy knew he was doomed to be a short, chubby dork forever, just like his dad, and his older brother, too. He knew that nobody would even talk to him if he wasn’t already friends with Jimmy. Heck, half the time he wondered if even Jimmy kept him around just for laughs. And really, deep down in his guts, Andy knew that once high school started, they’d drift apart. He could feel it happening already.
Thoughts like that pissed him off.
A lot, actually.
Enough, so that when he started hanging out at Jimmy’s house and met Jimmy’s mom, Andy decided he was gonna fuck her, maybe even in front of Jimmy, and get her knocked up. That way Jimmy would have to keep him around.
He’d be family.
Hey
"Hey, Mrs. Cole!" He waved.
She smiled and waved back. Andy loved it when she smiled at him. He loved watching her, and being together, alone with her in the mornings when Jimmy was still asleep and the house was quiet. He loved how she’d hum under her breath during those little, private times with him. It didn’t even seem to matter to her that he was always watching, and listening. He thought she secretly liked their time together too, just as much as he did.
He loved everything about her, but especially that. Jimmy had no idea how hot she really was.
He shook his head and whispered, "Damn, I wanna fuck you."
Andy watched her until she disappeared into the house, and then he sighed, feeling warm and fuzzy all over. He looked back over at Jimmy swooning over his old piece of ass.
Mrs. Wilkins had untied the straps to her little bikini and flopped over onto her stomach. Jimmy was still smearing grease on her back with that dumb, I-just-got-kicked-in-the-nuts expression plastered on his face.
Judging from the bulge in his buddy’s shorts, Andy figured it was time to get the show on the road. He’d send the money tonight.
***
Two days later, the box came, special delivery.
Andy and Jimmy were discussing the future of their gardening business. Jimmy was ready to give it up, now that they’d made enough money for this fantasy thing, but Andy was - amazingly enough - arguing to keep working. He was of the opinion that, once they had dorked the ladies, they were gonna need money to keep ‘em around.
Jimmy figured that they could play the life of leisure for the rest of the summer. Both his mom and Mrs. Wilson probably had plenty of money to spend on them, if they wanted.
Andy was ready to call him a stupid fuck when the doorbell rang. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down while Jimmy opened the door.
"Hey. I got a delivery here for either Andy Fitzsimmons or a Jimmy Cole?"
"Yeah, that’s me. What’cha got?"
"I dunno," the delivery guy handed Jimmy a pad and a pen. "No return address on the box. You wanna refuse it?"
"No!" Andy shouted. It was the Stuff! It had to be! "No! We’ll take it!"
"Uh, okay…then, uh, just sign right there. And print your name there."
Jimmy signed and took the box. It was about the size of a shoebox, cardboard wrapped in plain brown paper.
"Thanks."
"Sure. Have a nice summer guys."
Andy snatched the box out of Jimmy’s hands and plopped back down on the couch. He tore the box open with gusto.
"Jeez, Andy," Jimmy sat in the recliner and popped open a can of soda. "Calm down."
"Yeah, sure. Okay."
Andy dumped the contents of the box onto the table. Two envelopes: one plain, letter-sized note, and another, large manila envelope, stuffed full. He was so excited he felt dizzy.
"Wow." Jimmy said. "So…that’s the stuff?"
Andy nodded. "Yeah. Guess so."
"How…how do you use it?"
"They were supposed to send instructions…"
Andy ripped open the white envelope and smoothed several typed sheets of paper out on the table. He started reading. A few seconds later he looked up, grinning.
"You wanna go see if Mrs. Wilson’s home?"
ÂÂ
They caught her coming home from work.
"Hey, Mrs. Wilson!" Jimmy shouted.
She smiled as they jogged up.
"Well, well. If it isn’t my two favorite boys. What are you up to?"
"We, uh," Jimmy glanced at Andy, who nodded. "We wanted to know if you’d like to come over for dinner tomorrow night?"
"Dinner?"
"Yeah. It’s, uh, it’s my mom’s…birthday. Well, not tomorrow, but pretty soon, and we were gonna make dinner for her…"
"We were gonna buy it, actually," cut in Andy.
"Oh?"
Jimmy kind of toed at the ground, uncomfortable. "Yeah, but, uh, well, you guys seem to be friends now, so we wondered if you’d like to come too?"
"Well, I don’t know." She pursed her lips, teasing. "What are you serving?"
"Italian." Andy said. "From Speranza’s."
"Will anyone else be there?"
"No…uh, we haven’t invited anybody else." Jimmy’s voice cracked up a few notches. "Not yet, anyway."
"Oh. An intimate dinner party?"
Andy grinned. He was having fun. He’d never seen Jimmy so nervous. Suddenly, he was seeing Mrs. Wilson in a whole new light. She noticed him grinning and winked at him. Andy had to pinch himself to keep from laughing.
"I guess so."
"Will it be a formal affair?"
Jimmy looked helplessly at Andy. Andy was smiling so hard his cheeks hurt, and he knew if he tried to talk he’d bust up. But he managed to nod.
"So I should dress up?"
Jimmy blinked, clueless. "Uh, well…"
"Sure." Andy finished. "That’d be great."
"Okay. Then I’ll see you boys tomorrow night."
"Thanks, Mrs. Wilson." Andy took Jimmy by the arm before he could say anything else stupid. "See ya."
Mrs. Wilson’s eyes twinkled mischievously as the chubby boy led his cute little friend back home. Gardeners, and now little chef’s, too. She cupped her arms under her breasts and heaved a sigh. So sweet.
Then she realized they hadn’t told her when to come.
"Hey!" She called out. "What time?"
***
The phone was ringing when they walked back into the house. Jimmy answered and got an earful of Andy’s mom, shouting for Andy to come home and baby-sit his little brother.
"Aw crap," Andy muttered. "We needed to make plans."
"You’ll be here in the morning, right?"
"Yeah. I guess so."
"We’ll figure the rest out then."
Andy nodded grudgingly. "Okay, but you gotta hold onto the stuff. You know what my mom’s like. She already thinks I’m on drugs, or something. She searches my room whenever I leave. If she found this stuff…"
"S’alright." Jimmy agreed. "I’ll hide it."
"Cool. See ya tomorrow?"
"Yeah."
Jimmy gave Andy a thumbs-up and turned on the TV as the front door slammed shut. He tried to watch a movie, but his attention kept drifting back to the envelope on the table. Finally, he gave up.
He slid his finger under the flap and opened the envelope. He shook out several small, clear plastic baggies, full of a yellowish green powder. He skimmed through the instructions, until he came to the part where Andy had left off.
"Mix it with liquid…blah, blah…ingest immediately for po-potency…"
He held up a baggy to the window. The sunlight reflected and refracted through the powder.
"Hey babe."
Jimmy jumped and dropped the baggy onto the rug. In the kitchen, his mom tossed her keys on the counter and slung her purse onto the dining table.
"Mom!"
Jimmy quickly scraped all the stuff lying on the table back into the box as his mom walked into the living room. She flopped into the recliner with a huff and closed her eyes. He half kicked the packet he’d dropped under the couch.
"Whew. It’s so hot out there." She smiled at her son. "How was your day? What’cha got?"
"Oh, uh, just some…stuff Andy loaned me."
He stood up and walked down the hall, praying she couldn’t see the edge of the bag peeking out from under the couch.
"You hungry?" She called after him.
"Sure." Jimmy popped back out of his room.
"I’ve been dying for a hamburger."
"Cool."
ÂÂ
Dinner was tough.
Jimmy picked at his food and tried to ignore their waiter as he flirted with his mom (‘Hi, my name’s Trevor, and I’ll be your server tonight. What can I get for your beautiful self?’). He fidgeted and squirmed while his mom devoured a greasy bacon-guacamole cheeseburger and a truckload of fries, along with most of the chocolate milkshake that he ordered but didn’t finish.
She smacked her lips. "Oh, that’s good. I was starving."
"Yeah. No kidding? I couldn’t tell."
"Whoo-hoo, a little grumpy tonight? You feeling okay, sweetie? Aren’t you hungry?"
Jimmy shrugged.
"Can I get you folks anything else?" Trevor. "Some dessert? A drink for the lady? We’ve got a nice…"
Jimmy willed him to drop dead. Trevor took their plates instead.
"No thanks." His mom said.
Trevor cocked a jaunty eyebrow Jimmy’s way. "How about you, big guy?
Big Guy
"Just the check, please."
"Al-righty, then. You just yell if you need anything else. I’ll just be right over there." Trevor squinted, giving Jimmy’s mom his best GQ-HeMan-supermodel look. He made a gun with his hand and shot her with a click of his tongue after leaving the check.
"What a dork." She shook her head. "Hey, I know. Why don’t you start coming to the gym with me in the morning? Pump some iron. Get all buff and savage-tanned, like good old Trevor." She squinted, made a muscle and slurped more shake. "You’d impress all the babes." She leaned forward. "The girl who teaches my cardio-kickboxing class is so cute. I could hook you two up."
"Mom!"
She giggled.
"Jeez, you’re kidding. You know mom, sometimes you freak me out."
"Sorry, babe. She is cute, though. Her name’s Suzy."
"Mom…"
She giggled again and slurped.
"What’s up with you tonight? You never eat this stuff." Jimmy frowned as the last of his shake disappeared. "Didn’t you want some wine or something tonight?"
"Wine?" She cocked her head. "With a hamburger?"
"Well, you always get some at Speranza’s."
"Sure. But that’s a nice Italian place. A little wine tastes nice with pasta. But with a burger…" She slurped the last dregs of melted ice cream. "A milkshake definitely hits the spot."
She pulled the straw out of the cup and licked it clean. Jimmy watched her tiny chocolate and whipped cream covered tongue, mesmerized.
"So. What do you want to do tonight?"
Jimmy pried his eyes away from her mouth and managed a weak shrug.
"I dunno."
"How about a movie?" She dropped the straw back in the glass and patted her lips with the edge of a napkin. "I completely missed the one we got the other night. We could rent it again, if you want. I promise I’ll try not to fall asleep this time."
"We, uh, could get something else."
"Why? You said you liked it a lot."
"Yeah, but…"
"We’ll pop some popcorn and curl up on the couch. It’ll be fun."
"S-sure." Jimmy gulped. "Okay."
***
The few minutes they spent at the video store were even worse than dealing with Trevor at the restaurant. Jimmy tried to subtly mix the box for his movie in with a couple of new releases that his mom picked out, but the stupid zit-faced clerk who helped them noticed and had to tell his mom all about it while he rang them up.
"Oh wow! Teenage Alien Sex Massacre!" He gushed. "This is great!"
She gave Jimmy a funny look while the geek went on and on about the special effects and how he couldn’t even tell that the alien was just some guy in a bondage suit with a big dildo glued to his crotch.
Jimmy grimaced and wished the geek’s head would explode. By the time the clerk handed his mom the bag and a bucket of microwave popcorn, he was halfway out the door.
"Tell me how you like it! Oh, and be sure to watch it in the dark. It’s a lot creepier that way." The clerk shoved his thick glasses up higher on his nose. "Have a nice night!"
Jimmy’s mom said thanks and the clerk looked like he creamed in his pants. Outside, she tossed Jimmy the movies and tousled his hair before she unlocked the car.
"Are you sure I’m old enough to watch this?" She asked.
Jimmy blushed and grunted under his breath. His mom laughed.
He didn’t say much on the way home.
***
Jimmy dropped the bag of movies on the living room table and flopped down on the couch. As soon as he sat down, the phone started ringing
"Will you pop the popcorn?" She said, slipping out of her suit jacket. "I’ll get the phone."
"Okay."
She draped the jacket over the back of the couch and went to get the phone. Jimmy stood up, grabbed the bucket of popcorn and noticed the little baggy he’d kicked under the couch.
"Oh, shit!"
He bent over and snatched the baggie, hiding it behind the bucket.
His mom peered at him from across the room, her hand over the phone receiver.
"What is it, Sweetie?"
"Uh, nothing mom." He stuffed the baggie in his pocket and grinned nervously. "I just…dropped the popcorn."
"Oh." She nodded. "Hey, will you get me a glass of iced tea, too? I made a pitcher this morning. It’s in the ‘fridge."
"Sure."
In the kitchen, Jimmy set the microwave on high for and nuked the popcorn. He grabbed a couple clean glasses, filled them with crushed ice and poured tea for both of them. He stuck his hands in the pockets of his shorts and lounged against the counter, playing with the plastic bag while he waited for the popcorn.
He pulled the baggie out of his pocket and held it to the light, shook it. The tiny green crystals gleamed and flashed in the light. Pretty.
A few lines from the instructions ran through his head.
Mix with liquid for best results. Pin begins to affect the nervous system almost immediately, making the recipient extremely aroused sexually and highly susceptible to manipulation and suggestion. The recipient may experience blackouts or hallucinations.
"Jimmy?" His mom called from the living room. "Everything okay in there? The movie’s starting."
He shook himself awake and shouted: "Almost done!" as the microwave chimed. He popped open the door and peeled the plastic cover off the top of the bucket. "What are we watching?"
"Your movie!"
"What? Why?"
"Because I’ve got to tell the video guy how I liked it. So I guess that means I’ve got to watch it."
Jimmy shook his head and groaned. He couldn’t watch that stuff with his mom…
He stared at the baggie, lying there on the counter. His mom was still talking.
"…smells good!"
"Yeah," he shouted back.
He remembered his mothers lips, so close to him…
…extremely aroused sexually…
Jimmy tore open the packet and dumped the contents into one of the glasses of tea. He stirred the drink with a spoon out of the sink. The crystals melted into an oily green sludge which swirled around the ice before blending completely with the tea.
He held the glass up to the light.
No trace.
Jimmy closed his eyes for just a second, the glass in his hand tipped over the sink, wondering at what he was about to do.
Andy’s voice rang through his head: I’d fuck her if I was you.
He almost poured it out. Almost.
"What’s the hold-up in there?"
"Coming!" He sighed and carried everything into the living room. His mom smiled at him as he handed her the glass.
"Thanks, babe." She patted the cushion next to her and took a sip. "Sit down. You’re just in time; the alien ship just crashed."
"Oh." Jimmy set the popcorn on the table in front of them. His hands were shaking and couldn’t catch his breath.
His mom kicked off her sandals and pushed the shoes under the coffee table, then she curled up in the corner of the couch and tucked her legs underneath her body. She sat the popcorn on the cushion between them and took a sip of tea.
"Mm, good." She smiled and took another sip. "Thanks."
"Sure."
Jimmy grinned weakly. His mom munched on a big handful of popcorn.
On the screen, the alien was creeping up on a sexy young mother out for a walk. She was pushing a baby carriage that looked like a leftover from the 1950’s. She wore a hot pink sweater and a matching miniskirt that looked painted onto her curvaceous body, and she wobbled as she tried to walk in the stiletto-heeled sandals strapped on her feet. She smiled and made funny faces down into the carriage.
The sound of a baby cooing loudly was superimposed on the soundtrack.
"Wow." Jimmy’s mom laughed. "Look at those heels. Most new moms I know dress just like that."
Suddenly, the mom in the movie stopped dead in her tracks. Her eyes popped open as a twig snapped in the gloomy park, just across the street from where she stood.
Creepy organ music that sounded like the slow beating of a human heart began to amp up in volume.
"What time is it?" Jimmy’s mom wondered.
"Huh?" Jimmy looked at his watch. "It’s about eight-thirty…"
"No, no. I mean, in the movie. Look at the moon in the clouds. It’s like midnight, and she’s out walking a baby?"
Jimmy groaned. "Jeez, mom. It’s just a movie."
"But couldn’t it be just a little realistic? Is that too much to ask?"
"A realistic movie about aliens?"
"Well. Okay. You got me there."
The movie mom peered at the dark trees, frightened, listening intently.
"Is anyone there?" She asked with a high-pitched, quavering voice. "Hello?"
Quiet.
She shrugged, and began pushing the stroller again, her hips swaying and her miniskirt swishing.
The music got louder.
The alien launched itself from its hiding spot, barreling right at the carriage. The movie mom screamed.
So did Jimmy’s.
"Omigod!"
She grabbed Jimmy’s thigh and squeezed -
"Oh, gross!"
- as the alien ripped the baby out of the carriage -
It’s a silly looking doll
- and ate it. The alien gobbled it down noisily, blood and bits of clothing dripping from it’s gaping maw as the movie mom looked on in horror.
Then the alien advanced on her with its long, black tentacles waving, wrapping around her arms and legs, smacking its blubbery lips. The woman screamed again, and was flung to the ground.
Jimmy’s mom was still squeezing his leg. "Okay. I’m a big weenie. That actually scared me."
The music blared as the alien tore at the woman’s clothes.
"Oh. Oh." She said over the movie mom’s screams. She arched an eyebrow at Jimmy. "Did Andy recommend this to you?"
"Uh, yeah. How’d you know?"
The movie mom kicked and screamed and slapped at the alien. But nothing she did prevented the tentacles from tearing open her tight sweater, exposing huge, floppy breasts.
She took her hand back and watched the alien molest the woman with a look of disgust. "Just a guess."
"We can watch something else. Really."
"No," She sighed. "It’s okay. I should know what kind of stuff my son is watching. Even if it is trash."
"Yeah, but it freaked you out."
"Did not."
"Did too."
She grinned, a little, and took a sip of tea to hide it. "Fine. You’re right. But this…"
She just sighed again and shook her head at the TV. Jimmy settled back into the couch. He could still feel the grip of her hand tingling on his thigh. His mom took another sip of tea, ate more popcorn.
"Salty," She murmured, and polished off her tea. "Boy, it’s hot in here."
Jimmy shot her a look. "I guess."
Suddenly she was staring intently at the screen, squirming a little. The alien had the movie mom bent over the remains of the baby carriage, and was pounding away at her butt.
"This is a damn porno." Jimmy’s mom blinked and pulled her hair back out of her face. She tied it in a knot high up on the back of her head. "I can’t believe I’m letting you watch this shit."
Jimmy flushed with embarrassment, but kept quiet.
His mom unbuttoned the top of her blouse and rubbed her hands on her thighs. Wet marks stained the tops of her dark blue slacks. She looked at her moist palms, and said, "I’m sweating like a pig." She turned to him. "Aren’t you hot? Did we turn off the air-conditioning?"
Jimmy shook his head. "It’s fine in here. Actually, it’s kinda cold."
On the TV, the alien was starting to climax. The camera closed on a shot of the movie mom’s face, with green goop oozing out of her mouth.
His mom was rocking back and forth now, frantically rubbing her hands on her legs while she stared at the television. Suddenly, she stood up.
"I’m going to the bathroom." She padded down the hall. "Be back in a sec."
"Okay."
Jimmy heard the bathroom door slam closed. He snuck down the hall and peeked through the keyhole. His mom was leaning on the counter, staring at her reflection in the mirror, panting. Water was running into the sink, soaking a washcloth. She turned of the water and patted her face with the wet cloth, then the back of her neck.
"Oh. God." He heard her whisper.
Jimmy had a good view of her reflection. He watched as she unbuttoned her blouse down to the curve of her breasts, and could see the silky, lacy camisole she wore underneath. She rubbed the cloth down her chest. Beads of water dripped down her neck and chest, spotting her gauzy white blouse.
"Oh," She said, and dropped the towel. "Oh, shit."
She unbuttoned her slacks and let them drop. She plopped down on the toilet and closed her eyes tightly. Jimmy could now just see her face and the tops of her shoulders in the mirror.
She was moaning softly. At first Jimmy was worried she was sick. Her arm was moving quickly, up and down.
He knocked. "Mom? You alright?"
She stuttered out: "I…I’m f-fine, babe. Ohh-hh!" And then her eyes flew open and her body jerked and heaved. She licked her lips with her wet little tongue.
"You sure?" He asked.
She was quiet a moment. It looked to Jimmy like all the muscles in her body had locked up. But then she relaxed and slumped forward.
"F-fine," she shuddered. "I’ll be out in a minute."
Jimmy walked back to the couch and the movie, with a huge, hard boner stretching out his pants. He was pretty sure he knew what he’d just witnessed. He adjusted his crotch, trying to shift the dang thing in his pants to a more comfortable position, and flopped back down on the couch.
He heard the toilet flush, and water running in the sink again. Then the bathroom door opened and his mom was back on the couch with him. Her eyes were slightly glazed over and her face was damp with perspiration. She looked almost like she was glowing.
Her blouse was still unbuttoned, open to her breasts and forgotten, and Jimmy could see the outline of her nipples, hard and poking through the soft, silky material.
He wondered what they felt like, and suddenly his dick throbbed.
"Sure you’re okay?" He asked.
She nodded and sat stiffly. She stared at the TV as if he wasn’t even there.
The movie had come to the part in the hospital, and the alien was busy raping the nurse. Jimmy’s mom licked her lips and rubbed her thighs. She was panting heavily, and she slowly spread her legs. Her hands slipped straight down between her thighs, making her arms bunch her breasts together. She moaned softly and her eyes fluttered shut.
A warm, wet stain slowly spread through the crotch of her slacks.
And then she passed out.
Jimmy blinked in surprise. "Mom?" He grabbed her shoulder and shook her. "Mom? Are you okay."
Her head rolled back onto the cushion. She moaned and her eyes fluttered again as her breathing slowed and evened out, but she didn’t wake up.
"Mom?"
The sound of the alien fucking in the movie grabbed Jimmy’s attention. He looked at the ice melting in the empty glass of tea that him mom drank. He looked back at her again, at her swollen nipples and the stain soaking her pants.
His dick twitched again. Jimmy felt his pulse racing. His own breath was coming in ragged gulps. He shook her again, calling her name.
Nothing.
Jimmy licked his dry lips and scooted closer to her. He reached out and touched her cheek. Her skin was flushed and moist with sweat.
"Mom?"
No answer.
He closed his eyes, and let his hand drift down until he touched her blouse. He swallowed hard and cupped her right breast, squeezing it gently through the material. Her nipple brushed against his palm, and she groaned. Her chest arched forward, shoving her breast hard into his hand.
"Oh, wow."
He moved closer and cupped her other breast with his free hand. He squeezed them together, enjoying their soft fullness. His mother’s hands flopped aimlessly against her thighs. Nurses were screaming in pain and shame on the television behind him.
Jimmy didn’t want to think about how bad this was.
What would Andy do
His lips were dry again and he wiped them with his hand. He was feeling dizzy and lightheaded. He drew back for a second, and then ripped her blouse open, down to her navel.
Her breasts bounced and jiggled in front of him.
Jimmy pulled the blouse down over her shoulders, and followed that with her camisole’s thin spaghetti straps, until her little brown nipples peeked out at him.
He stopped and stared. Her right breast had a tiny dark freckle just above the nipple, and he ran his fingertip over it. His mom shivered and he drew his hand away until she stopped. He waited until she was still and reached out and lightly touched the hard, rubbery tips of her nipples. He squeezed them, feeling their texture.
Then he bent over and took one into his mouth.
His mom moaned loudly. He sucked at her breast, wondering at the texture of the nipple; it reminded him of chewing on a pencil eraser. Her back arched and she cupped the back of his head with her hands, pulling him hard against her chest. Her breast mashed around his face.
Jimmy’s dick popped out of the top of his shorts.
He sucked and nibbled and bit, experimenting. Everything he did made his mom moan and try to pull him closer. He moved on to her other breast and started slurping.
Without thinking, he unbuttoned his shorts, pushed them off his ass with his underpants and stepped out of them, leaving everything in a pool on the carpet. His dick swung free and he started jacking off while he sucked and bit at his mother’s breasts.
She was squirming hard against him and he remembered the other night. He remembered the feel of her warm breath on his cock.
He pushed away and stood up. His cock ticked back and forth in front of him, floating straight out towards his mother’s mouth. He stepped up onto the couch, and the tip of his dick grazed her lips.
"I want to fuck you so bad…" He groaned.
One word escaped her mouth, like a hiss. "Yesss…"
Her lips parted. Jimmy felt her hands gripping his legs, then his ass, and she was pulling him to her. His cock eased into the warm wetness of her mouth, and his legs almost gave out as she took him in.
"Oh, shit…"
Jimmy didn’t wait, and he wasn’t gentle. His thirteen-going-on-fourteen year old boy hormones took over - he just grabbed her hair and started fucking her face as hard and fast as he could, shoving his cock in until she gagged, over and over.
"OhGodohshitohGod…" He moaned.
And then he came, blowing his spunk deep into her throat. His orgasm almost blinded him, and he had to grab the back of the couch to keep from flipping over onto the floor. He kept grinding his hips against her face for a long time, until he rode out the last twitches of his orgasm.
After a moment he relaxed and looked down. His mom’s eyes were half open now, and she was slowly bobbing her head back and forth. She was sucking him hard again, making soft yummy sounds deep in her throat.
Jimmy enjoyed the feeling until he was good and ready again, then he pulled out and stepped off the couch. His mom groped blindly for him, clawing the air in front of her and making frantic wailing sounds.
He got a little worried. "Mom, it’s okay, I’m here," he said, and caught her by the wrists. "Here. Lie down."
"Mmnn…"
She grabbed him and pulled him on top of her. His penis slid along her pant leg as she scissored her legs around him, pulling his hips into hers. She tangled her fingers in his hair and nuzzled his neck. She licked and nibbled at his ear, panting and gasping.
Jimmy’s penis ground into the damp material around her crotch.
He moaned and pulled away from her. She reached for him as he grabbed at the waistband of her slacks. He popped the top button and pulled the zipper open, and then he was yanking the pants down over her ankles.
And then he was staring at a pair of tiny pink panties, stained dark with pussy juice.
"Oh, wow…"
Jimmy pushed his mom’s grasping hands out of his way and rolled her panties down her thighs. The cotton padding stuck to her pussy for a second, and then they were past her knees and over her feet. He held them in his hands, wondering at their smell, the feel of them.
He looked back down at her and shivered, he was so horny. Her hands found his cock and she stroked him while her hips ground in a slow, lazy circle. Her eyes were still fluttering, and she was growling low in her throat.
Jimmy stared, greedily smothering her body with his eyes. He slowly ran his hands up and down her tight stomach, enjoying the feel of her smooth muscles through the silk blouse and the camisole, then he swallowed hard and touched her between her spread legs. She bucked at the touch and she and squeezed his cock hard, making him gasp with pleasure as she pulled him into her.
She caught him immediately, and grabbed his ass as he bulled his way further inside her. The warm, sharp sensation as her pussy enveloped him made Jimmy dizzy, and he collapsed on her.
His mom locked her legs around his back, and her breath hissed into his ear as he slid all the way inside. Jimmy propped himself on his elbows as she started to fuck him.
The feeling of her pussy was almost too much. Jimmy buried his face in her hair and let her move underneath him. When she rolled him over and climbed on top of him, her eyes opened completely for the first time since the drug took hold.
"J-Jimmy?" She gasped, and looked at her son, naked, underneath her his hard, dripping cock clenched tightly in her hand. Her hips hovered just above him, her thighs trembling.
"Oh, my God."
He could see the realization of what was happening sharpen her dazed expression.
"Mom?"
Her hands flew to her mouth and her eyes went wide in horror. She shook her head.
"Don’t stop…please don’t stop. I just want you to fuck me…"
Her eyes closed, and her hands slowly drifted away from her mouth. Jimmy felt her wetness lower onto him.
"Oh…yeah…squeeze your titties…"
He slid deep inside her, and she gasped, still quietly shaking her head, but she began kneading her breasts, hard enough to make her groan. Jimmy’s hands wrapped around her tiny waist.
She bent over him, began kissing his belly, his chest.
"Oh, yeah…kiss me…"
Her hot lips closed over his and her tongue flicked into his mouth, gently prodding. He sucked on it like a sweet candy. And then he felt another orgasm build deep in his balls, and with another jerk of her hips, he exploded inside her.
Gritting his teeth he gasped. "Come on, come with me…"
Her pussy muscles clamped down hard on Jimmy’s withering cock and she clung to him tightly as she came. Vaguely, as if from far away, Jimmy heard her weeping, She was still shuddering, still frantically kissing him, when Jimmy passed out.
***
Jimmy woke slowly, feeling sluggish, sweaty and thick in the head. He was lying flat on his back with his mom curled up next to him, her head pillowed in the crook of his arm. She was snuggled as close as she could get to him, breathing softly, with one of her legs tossed over his thighs and an arm wrapped around his chest.
He smacked his gummy lips and scratched at his crotch. His hand came away sticky. She groaned in her sleep and rubbed her pussy into his leg. She was still wet.
Jimmy smiled and his cock perked up. He shifted onto his side, feeling pins and needles shoot through an arm that had fallen asleep long ago. He grabbed his mom’s ass and hooked her leg up around his waist. His cock slid over her soft thatch of pubic hair, down to her pussy, searching for it’s way in.
She sighed, more of a soft exhaling of breath than anything, and he rolled on top of her. He braced himself on his elbows and pushed with his hips. Her pussy took him in easily, wrapping him deep in her warm, silken folds and holding him tight.
And then the phone started to ring. And ring.
"Awwshit." Jimmy muttered, and slipped out of her. He rolled onto his feet and padded over to the phone with his slimy dick hard and swinging, and checked the caller ID. The message indicator on the answering machine read: 34.
Andy
He picked up the phone and mumbled, "Hey, man."
"Jeez! Where were you? I’ve been calling all day."
"All day?" Jimmy repeated. "Whattaya mean?"
"It’s after two o’clock! We were supposed to be getting ready at noon!"
Andy sounded frantic. But then, he usually did. Jimmy looked up and blinked at the sunlight streaming though the windows. He rubbed a sticky, smelly finger over crusty eyes and yawned.
"Oh, wow. I guess we slept kinda late."
"Yeah, kinda late. Jeez, Jimmy, I gotta tell you something…hey. We slept late? Who’s ‘we’?"
"Uh, me and mom."
"Your mom never sleeps late."
"Yeah, well, we kinda had a late night. Rented some movies…"
"Oh." Andy paused. "Hey, what’s she wearing today?"
Jimmy was staring at his mom’s crotch, marveling at the sight of her little pink pussy lips when he answered. "Nothing."
"What’s the big deal, anyway? We’ve still got plenty of time to get dinner and stuff before Mrs. Wilson comes over…"
In a muffled tone, as if from another room, Jimmy heard someone yelling at Andy to hurry up.
"Okay! I’m coming!" Then back to Jimmy, whispering, "I can’t come tonight."
"What?" Jimmy’s jaw dropped and he sputtered, "But…but…this is your plan…I mean, you - we’ve been waiting for weeks…"
"I know, I know. I’m sorry, but my dad came home this weekend and he’s got some bug up his ass. He wants to take us all camping. He’s leaving on another job again next Monday, an’ he’ll be gone the rest of the month, so my mom won’t let me stay home.
"Tell her we’ve got lawns to mow. I can’t do ‘em all without you anyway. For real."
"Tried that already. No luck. Fuck, even Billy’s going. If mom won’t let him stay, no way I can. I gotta go."
"Aww, shit. You’re kidding."
Andy sounded like he wanted to cry. "Uh-uh. Serious."
"Man."
"Yeah."
"Well, I hope you have a good time."
"Yeah, right." Andy snorted. "It’ll suck. Our vacations always suck. I’ll be horny all week, with nobody but my mom and my sisters around."
"You could fuck them."
He snorted again. "You realize we were gonna lose it tonight? Both of us? With the women of our dreams?"
Jimmy plopped into the recliner by the couch. He touched his mom’s hair, stroked it. She smiled and wiggled in her sleep.
"Uh, yeah, well…"
Then he realized what Andy was really telling him.
"Oh, shit! What am I gonna do tonight? Mrs. Wilson’s gonna be here in a couple hours!"
"I dunno, man…hey, hold on a sec…" There was more screaming on Andy’s end of the phone. This time Jimmy distinctly heard Andy’s mom yelling for him to get his fat ass in gear. "Shit, I gotta go."
"But…but…"
"Hey, you know what I’d do." The shouting continued. Andy sighed. "I’ll talk to ya later."
Jimmy frowned as his buddy hung up. He tossed the phone on the coffee table and stared at it for a long time, thinking.
"Shit." He drummed his fingers on the leather chair. "Shitshitshit…"
He looked at his watch. Just a couple hours left.
"Hey mom…"
No answer. He shook her shoulder.
"Mom, wake up."
She rolled over and buried her face in a throw pillow.
"Shit." Jimmy shook her again. "Mom, we gotta get up. We’ve got company coming over. I need to go get us dinner."
That got a weak groan.
"Mom, c’mon…"
Nothing but a soft snore.
"Ahh, man."
Jimmy stood up and took his mom by the wrists, then pulled her up into a sitting position. He head flumped forward onto her chest, like a rag dolls, then she tipped over sideways.
"Hey!"
He grabbed her under the armpits and sat her up straight again. Her head rolled back on her neck, her eyes fluttering. Jimmy knelt in front of her and smacked her cheeks gently with the palms of his hands.
"Shit, mom, c’mon. Wake up. Please."
She groaned and fell forward, right into him, knocking him off balance. Jimmy whacked the back of his head on the coffee table, and they fell to the floor together in a heap, with Jimmy’s mom right on top of him.
"Oh, man."
It’s the drugs. Gotta be
He sprouted wood.
"Mom..?"
Her eyes were heavy-lidded and unfocused, but her body was on auto-pilot. She rolled her pussy in a slow circle against his cock while she nuzzled his neck with her lips.
"Oh, wow…"
He cupped her ass and enjoyed the sensation of her wet pussy teasing him, her warm breath blowing on his damp neck. A second or two later, and Jimmy lost all track of everything else.
***
3:49 pm.
Jimmy’s mom was draped over him. Jimmy was panting for air. He felt sore all over, especially his crotch. His pelvis was bruised and sore, his balls felt like they’d been smacked with a hammer and his cock was limp and scraped raw, burning like somebody dunked it in acid.
He groaned and pushed his mom off. She flumped over onto the floor, arms and legs akimbo. She was all sweaty and breathing hard too, and Jimmy took a strange satisfaction from that fact. It made him grin.
Then he saw the clock.
"Oh, shit! We gotta get ready!"
He shook his mom. She rolled over onto her side and let out a snore.
"Mom! C’mon! We don’t have time to do this again."
She snored louder.
"Mom, get up!"
Jimmy stood, grabbed her wrists and tried to pull her to her feet. She was totally asleep, limp like a wet noodle. She just slid between his legs and stuck there with her head flopped back on her neck, still snoring.
"Oh, man. What am I gonna do…" He thought about it. "Maybe…maybe I can get you in the shower with me…"
It was worth a try, anyway. He was so tired he couldn’t think of anything else to try. So Jimmy yanked her arms, pulled her up onto her knees and grabbed her under her armpits. They were both so slick and sweaty she almost slipped right out of his hands.
"Oofff!" He grunted. "Jeez…"
He got her in a bear hug and lugged her to her feet, started dragging her down the hall. Jimmy was a big kid, but by the time he pulled his mom into her bedroom he was huffing and puffing. He made it to the bed and dropped her with a grunt.
She bounced and almost fell off.
He caught her and eased her onto the mattress, then stood back and scratched his head.
"Man. No way I can get her into the shower by myself. There’s gotta be something I can…"
On the bed, his mom curled into the fetal position and kept on snoring. Andy’s voice popped into Jimmy’s head.
You know what I’d do
ÂÂ
5:16 pm.
Mrs. Wilson - Grace, to her friends and family - was butt-naked and humming quietly to herself in front of a full-length mirror, an antique hand-me down that had been in her mother’s family for generations. The mirror was part of a set, matching her dresser as well as her bed and night table, and she’d loved it since she was a little girl playing countless hours of dress-up.
They were the only things she’d really wanted after her folks passed away, and she’d barely managed to keep the set after her divorce.
Grace had just stepped out of the shower and was toweling off with a thick, fluffy white cotton towel, wondering what to wear tonight. She finished drying off and opened her dresser, selecting some clean panties and a bra. She looked out her bedroom window at the Cole house and smiled.
She knew the two boys - Jimmy and his chubby little friend - both had crushes on her.
(What was the other boy’s name? Andy. That’s right. An-dee. AndyAndyAndy. Grace knew that if she said it enough, eventually she’d remember.)
Grace was pretty sure they’d been snooping on her too. She’d noticed the telescope up in Jimmy’s room trained to her windows months ago, and she knew they’d gone through her dresser the day she’d left them lunch.
At first their spying annoyed her, to the point that she’d almost called the police. But as far as she could tell they hadn’t taken anything, just messed up her drawers. And then she met Jimmy’s mother, and liked her, and then she met Jimmy too, and he turned out to be so sweet and cute; just a normal, horny teenage boy.
She still wasn’t sure about that Andy boy, though. He seemed to be the ring leader of their little spy-network, and sometimes he gave her a creepy feeling when he looked at her. But Jimmy…well…he had something about him, didn’t he. A charisma.
Oh, my little Peeping-Toms.
She wasn’t sure what had motivated her to give them that first little peep-show. Maybe it was all the attention they were giving her. She was still an attractive woman; before and after her divorce men had often thrown themselves at her, even more so once the magazine became popular. But none of them made her feel...excited. To them, she was simply another stepping stone, another...well, just another fuck, on their way to bigger and better things.
But this...flirtation, with the boys...
For a while, it almost felt innocent and fun, like she was playing Mrs. Robinson to Jimmy’s Ben Braddock. Grace knew she’d gone a little overboard the day out at the pool, when Jimmy oiled her back until she felt like a goopy slug. She was pretty sure he’d still be clumsily massaging her shoulders if his friend hadn’t stopped him.
And then they surprise her with this dinner invitation. Well...
It had all been fun, but now she wondered - no. She knew that she’d gone too far teasing them. Much too far.
But she could fix this problem, just like she’d fixed all the other silliness in her life. She bought this house as a rental, and moved out here just to get away from the city for a bit, just for the summer. She was going to be moving back to Los Angeles in a few weeks, and then this house would be just another rental property in her portfolio. She could forget about the boys. After tonight she’d make sure to avoid them.
But she promised to be there for dinner, and Grace never reneged on her promises. She didn’t really have anything else to do anyway, and she just knew Jimmy would be crushed if she bowed out with some lame excuse. So she’d go with a smile on and try to enjoy herself.
Grace held up her underwear.
It’s way to hot out for these
She tossed the panties and bra onto the bed and pulled out a nice light camisole instead, then padded to her closet and clicked through the hangers until she found a nice, white silk sun-dress she liked.
She dressed and slipped on a comfortable pair of sandals while she zipped up the back of the dress. She brushed out her hair and braided it back into a thick ponytail, then dabbed on a bit of makeup and found a small clutch-purse that matched the dress.
Grace took a quick turn in the mirror, letting the skirt billow around her calves, and she smiled approvingly at her reflection. She felt light and happy; almost felt like she was twenty again, and going out on a date.
Still not too bad
ÂÂ
5:53 pm.
Grace stood in the shade of the Cole porch with a covered glass dish in hand, and smoothed the folds of her dress.
I’m actually nervous
She took a deep breath, knocked, and then let it out in a slow hiss. She felt butterflies wriggling around in her stomach and giggled nervously.
I feel like I’m a kid going on a date
She heard someone moving around at the back of the house. A muffled shout drifted through the door. "Coming!"
It’s so
A bead of sweat trickled down her back and slid into her butt-cheeks.
Okay…hurry up
Grace smiled prettily as Jimmy opened the door. Dressed in a rumpled black t-shirt and cut-offs, he looked like he just rolled out of bed after a long night of no sleep.
"Oh. I thought I was supposed to dress up?"
"Um. Wow. You look great!"
She cocked her head and watched him. She did a little sashay, and his eyes followed her boobs down to her hips, and back.
"Jimmy? Would you like to invite me in? It’s uncomfortably warm out here."
His eyes snapped up from her chest.
"Oh! Yeah! Sorry! Come in…"
He opened the door for her. Grace stepped into the foyer and looked around. The layout was almost exactly like hers, but reversed. She sniffed the air; something smelled funny. It was faint, but pungent. Grace knew the smell, but she couldn’t quite place it.
"Did…are we having fish for dinner?"
"Huh-uh. Why?"
"Oh, well, I thought I smelled fish..." She shook her head. "Oh, anyway, never-mind that. Here." She held out the dish as Jimmy shut the front door. "I brought dessert. You said we were having Italian, so I made tiramisu. You probably have a birthday cake already, but…"
She shrugged as Jimmy took the dish.
"Oh. Hey, thanks," Jimmy peeked under the plastic wrap. "It smells really good."
"It should probably be chilled."
"Chilled?" He looked confused.
"You can pop it in the ‘fridge"
"Oh. Okay." He grinned and stepped to the kitchen. "Make yourself at home."
She casually strolled through the messy living room. She expected birthday decorations, banners, other guests. But the house was empty, quiet and deserted. She glanced at a half-full bucket of cold popcorn and some glasses on the coffee table.
"So…this is kind of a pre-birthday party?"
"Uh, yeah." He nodded over his shoulder.
"Where is everybody?"
"Well…" Jimmy leaned into the refrigerator, and he had a pitcher of iced tea in his hand when he came out. "Andy can’t come. Mom’s…still getting ready. She’s gonna be a little while."
"Oh. That tea looks fabulous."
Jimmy held up the pitcher.
"It’s good. Want some?"
"Please."
He grinned and pulled two tall, clear glasses out of a cupboard.
"So it’s just the two of us?"
"Yeah."
He poured the tea as she sat on the couch. Grace thought the cushions felt damp. She looked to check; the material under her dress was definitely wet, and the fishy smell was stronger here.
Eww. What the heck is that?
"Here you go." Jimmy handed her a glass.
"Thanks," she smiled, and took a long sip. "Mmm. That’s really good. It hits the spot."
"I hope so," Jimmy replied, smiling happily. He held up his own glass and took a big gulp. "There’s a lot more where that came from."
"Well, then," she held up her glass. "Cheers."
Jimmy grinned, and they drank together.
ÂÂ
To be continued
… She wondered....hot out today. .. , she twirled around again, and left for dinner..Grace grinned again. If you were just a few years older… …. Jimmy thought. He lay on the floor with his eyes closed, wondering what he was going to do, when his mom growled low and deep in her throat and squirmed on top of him. Her hands snaked under his arms and hooked onto his shoulders.. Jimmy shook his head. "Uh, well yeah. She’s in the shower.".? He wondered, listening to the screams on the TV. What would the alien do?, Jimmy thought. So obvious it’s nott a real baby…? Jimmy grimaced. Jeez. What a creep. "No thanks.", he grinned. Speak of the devil. Andy glanced at his watch. She was home early. , he grinned stupidly. I’ve died and gone to heaven., he thought, and smeared the goop over her tan, muscular shoulders until they glistened. She made a purring sound deep in her throat and wiggled her bottom on the chair. , Jimmy mused. Cucumbers and carrots were obvious choices. But broccoli and cauliflower? Crazy.

"This is stupid, man. It has to be a scam. I mean, how could they do this shit? There’s no way…"
So I’ve been a little blocked lately. Haven’t written much.
ÂÂ
All the big guys, the published novelists whose advice I’ve read say it pays to keep on working. Don’t worry about the block, don’t worry about that blank sheet of snowy white paper (or that blank computer screen and that flashing, mocking little curso

r), just keep pounding out pages – one or three or five a day until you drop or you finish that short story, or that novel, or whatever.
It’s been a little frustrating, having no inspiration. I felt like my own muse (such as it was) had suddenly dried up, got pissed off and left the building; or maybe was killed by my girlfriend, just like the poor schlep in my sort-of novel, as some sort of crazy punishment for my writing these sex stories about my life…
ÂÂ
I felt drugged, sedated – listless, barren of ideas; the thought of writing another story about dicks and tits and ass was about as exciting as anticipating the sheer joy of a big old hangover after a long, weekend bender.
ÂÂ
And then we – my girlfriend and I – went out to dinner with her brother and his wife to celebrate their daughters tenth birthday. I probably shouldn’t use anybody’s real name, since you never know who’s going to eventually read this.
ÂÂ
So let’s call my girlfriend Diana, and her brother can be Hubby, and his wife… Oh, let’s call her Julia.
ÂÂ
Ah, Julia.
ÂÂ
It was just a nice, quiet dinner at their daughter’s favorite place: a local rib joint. We’ve gone out with them lots of times before. I wasn’t expecting to be inspired, or anything. But then, sitting across the table from the beautiful woman who, after the last eleven years, may as well be my sister-in-law…
ÂÂ
Well…
ÂÂ
My muse suddenly seems to have returned.

So here’s the deal: If you’ve been following along with my stories, you may have noticed a goofy, reoccurring theme in my writing – a theme that even I hadn’t fully realized until only recently, when my girlfriend somehow got the idea that I was cheating on her and decided to snoop around a little.
ÂÂ
Amateur sleuth that she is, Diana booted up my computer and read most of my stories. Afterwards, during the ensuing argument(s) about who was it and why was I and just who the fuck was it and how could you do this (and so on), she pulled out the story ammo and fired a chunk of it straight back at me, not so nicely pointing out that I seemed to want to fuck her brother’s wife.
ÂÂ
Oh, I said. Well, I said.
ÂÂ
Ouch.
ÂÂ
There was more like that; a lot of vague sputtering and apologizing on my part. None of it did much good; I was caught, like a fish on a hook. I did what I did, and I was found out, fair and square. I can’t deny the fact that the whole confrontation was embarrassing and what I did was hurtful and I felt like a shit-heel, even though – truthfully – I really didn’t actually do anything with anyone except via email, which regretfully is close enough to cheating for a lot of bad feelings to surface.
ÂÂ
ÂÂ
* If you’ll indulge me, here’s a little side note, a tidbit regarding the psychology of a woman who suspects her significant other of having an affair. Something I noticed and I find quite interesting, regarding my girlfriend’s reaction:
ÂÂ
After she read my anonymous emails and some of my stories - several that are published here - the thing that most upset her wasn’t the fact that I’d lost my virginity to my aunt when I was five.
ÂÂ
Or that I’d been bound and anally gang-raped by my freaky transgender high school French teacher and her gay friends during a Halloween party my senior year.
ÂÂ
Or that I’d kept seeing her and one of her friends for several years after.
ÂÂ
Or that I’d tried to kill an old friend and the creep he’d fallen in with while in prison, who had kidnapped and raped a girl who was an employee of mine, who I’d slept with once.
ÂÂ
Or that my film career began as a porno director and sometime star…
ÂÂ
And so on and so forth…
ÂÂ
No – the thing that upset her, that almost ripped our relationship apart, was that I might – might – be having an affair.
ÂÂ
I don’t really know what this means, other than she was pissed that I was e-fucking somebody – and therefore in her mind I was probably sleeping with them in real life too. Which – granted – is a completely valid concern, and I openly admit that I sent and read and enjoyed the dirty emails. So basically she was right, and I was cheating. Mentally, at least.
ÂÂ
But you’d think the other stuff would have at least bothered her a little more than it seemed to.
ÂÂ
Right?
ÂÂ
Anyway. Back to the story in progress…
ÂÂ
ÂÂ
Now, my infatuation with Diana’s sister-in-law was supposed to be a completely private fantasy. I’ve had the hots for Julia for years and frankly, I don’t really know why. She’s awfully moody: one minute she’s nice and sweet and fun and a kick to be around; then turn around and she acts like she doesn’t know you – or worse, if you aren’t lucky. Her mood swings seemed to get worse after she had her kids.
ÂÂ
Julia’s quite attractive, I think, in an interesting sort of way: She’s got strong, bone-sharp facial features, an aristocratic bearing with a long, graceful neck and small, well-formed hands and feet; bluish-green eyes, and a light, Nordic complexion; jaw-length, bobbed straw-blonde hair (that’s currently tinted slightly red – which is another big turn-on for me). She’s shaped a bit like a pear, with a little tiny waist and huge, cannonball size breasts; with wide hips and a big, round, bubble ass – she reminds me of a woman in some Renaissance painting.
ÂÂ
Her weight fluctuates a lot, up and down with her moods. She’ll work out with a personal trainer, start getting into shape. Then she’ll binge eat and pack on the pounds. Right now she’s on an upswing. She’s stopped wearing her skinny clothes. Now it’s lots of baggy sweaters, and pleated slacks instead of jeans. Lots of black clothes to help hide the weight.
ÂÂ
On the plus side, her tits are suddenly f’n enormous right now; bigger than usual - like round, ripe cantaloupes, with cherries on top. All during dinner, I couldn’t stop staring. It was a crazy experience. I was horrified I was going to be noticed, get busted; that Diana would catch me peeking, or her brother, or – maybe the worst and most embarrassing scenario of all, that Julia would notice me staring.
ÂÂ
But I couldn’t stop myself.
ÂÂ
It was around a solid hour of: Stare at her tits, look away at the waitresses. Think: Oh my God they’re big! Stare at her tits, avoid hubby’s eyes. Think: Look at those f’n nipples! Stare at her tits, eat a soggy French-fry. Think: Lord, don’t let Diana see me looking…
ÂÂ
And on and on like that.
ÂÂ
So we’re all talking, gabbing about nothing specific - the usual innocuous family get-together chatter. About halfway through the meal Julia was telling me about this great recipe she had for ribs and how she should email it to me, when around us the subject of the conversation took a turn to summer vacations, and how wouldn’t it be fun for all of us to go on one together, when suddenly Julia turned to her husband and busted out with “You know, I’d like to go to the county fair this year.â€Â
ÂÂ
My girlfriend made some polite noises, along with everyone else listening in on the conversation, like: yeah, right. Hubby rolled his eyes. Nodded and chuckled, like: The fair. Okay honey. Sure. We’ll think about that.
ÂÂ
He patted her on the back, said something like: Julia used to be a farm girl. Sometimes she misses the animals. Then he turned and went back to his food.
ÂÂ
So Julia turned to me, looked me right in the eye, and asked, “What about you Dev? Want to go with me? Apparently my husband won’t.â€Â
ÂÂ
There was another round of polite chuckles from everyone at the table. Like, Oh, that Julia. What a kidder. What a comedienne. Always joking around.Ha-ha.
I’d have felt that way too. I would’ve laughed and blown off the comment just like everyone else.
ÂÂ
Except while the waitresses brought out cake and everyone else turned their attention to the birthday girl, Julia kept looking at me. Staring intently. Never took her eyes off mine. Kept my gaze locked for a heartbeat.
ÂÂ
And two.
ÂÂ
And three.
ÂÂ
Raised her eyebrows, like she was throwing down the gauntlet. A challenge, like: How about it Dev? You up for it? I am.
Frankly, I wasn’t sure if I was.
ÂÂ
In the back of my mind, the common sense part of me, the angel on my shoulder, was screaming, this isn’t what you think it is! She’s not asking you for a date, you idiot! And then another part of me, that stupid devil guy part on my other shoulder, said, But what if she is? Wouldn’t this be the perfect time – it’s so blatant, nobody here would even suspect…
And it went on like that for a while, until finally the angel boiled the whole scenario down to: Why the hell do you want to go to a fair anyway? All those animals, poop and pee stink everywhere… With your allergies, you’ll sneeze your head off. And don’t even talk to me about the Porta-Potties…
***
ÂÂ
Eventually the evening came to a close. We packed up the leftovers and headed outside to the parking lot and our respective vehicles. The kids ran around, screaming, working off their collective sugar high. Everyone else said their goodbyes.
ÂÂ
Julia gave me a quick hug; a chaste little pat on the back, while I was trying to hide my sudden boner and still enjoy the feel of her breasts pressed against my chest. I must’ve looked like a pre-teen kid at his first boy-girl dance: bent slightly forward at the waist, the crotch of my jeans stretched out like a tent, my ass backed as far away from her body as I could get it and still allow me to return the hug (Yes, yes. And to feel up the titties as well. Priority number one – always grab the opportunity to feel up the titties).
ÂÂ
In retrospect, there was no way she couldn’t have noticed my hard-on; I may have well just dry-humped her leg for all the good my contortions were doing. It would’ve still been as uncomfortable as all hell, but at least I would’ve had a little fun.
ÂÂ
Into my ear she whispered, “Don’t forget about the fair, okay?â€Â
Then she let me go, glanced down at my crotch, gave me a coy smile, and went to gather her kids.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
Now, this is not without precedent. Here’s a little history:
ÂÂ
A few years ago, we were all at another get-together, a big picnic at a local high-school soccer field on the Fourth of July. We tagged along with several of Julia/Hubby’s friends and neighbors. We ate (barbecue again!) and drank; played Frisbee with the kids; had a good time and generally made merry, passing time until the sun went down and the prerequisite firework show began.
ÂÂ
The kids got antsy, gallons of soda hitting their nervous systems all at the same time; the sugary liquid running right through them. Julia took her daughter to the bathroom, left with a couple other women and their kids.
ÂÂ
Diana and I got bored with the festivities, and, feeling antisocial, took a long walk around the field. As the sun was beginning to set, we ran into Julia, stuck about halfway through the Porta-Potty line, along with about a hundred other parents and their about-to-pee-my-pants kids.
ÂÂ
She and her friends were chatting. Diana pointed and we waved. Julia and her daughter waved back. I smiled. Julia smiled back. We kept on walking. Her friends kept on chatting. We walked on by.
ÂÂ
Julia kept on looking.
ÂÂ
I felt eyes on my back, glanced over my shoulder.
ÂÂ
Julia was still looking. At my ass.
ÂÂ
And smiling.
ÂÂ
Later, after the fireworks had ended and we were waiting for the drunken mob in the school parking lot to clear out, I was leaning on the fender of my car, standing around with Diana and Julia’s Hubby.
ÂÂ
Chatting.
ÂÂ
Julia standing just off to my left. Close enough to touch.
ÂÂ
I could hear her breathing.
ÂÂ
Diana and her brother got bored with the conversation, turned and tossed the Frisbee with the kids.
ÂÂ
Julia said something to me that I didn’t quite catch, and patted my leg. At least I think she tried to pat my leg, because she missed.
ÂÂ
She got my crotch instead. But she played it off, casual. Didn’t say a word.
ÂÂ
Just smiled.
ÂÂ
Then she got in the car and waited for her family, alone, until they all piled into their Saab and left.
ÂÂ
I spent the ride home with a happy, warm, tingling hard-on, thinking about how lucky I was that Julia had misjudged her goodbye pat and missed my thigh, and wondering if she’d done it on purpose.
ÂÂ
*
ÂÂ
Remembering that Fourth of July got me thinking. Related memories came flooding back, like they do.
ÂÂ
Every Wednesday was game night at their house. Diana and I tried to go as little as humanly possible, but we got roped in one night. Julia was already a little tipsy by the time we arrived. She had that slightly flushed look to her face when we got there, acting kind of breathless and sweaty and silly around her friends.
ÂÂ
I really hadn’t wanted to go – Diana had to bribe me into it. Soon as Julia opened the door, my attitude changed. She’d had her second child not long before, but by that time she was in one of her monster work-out modes, had lost most of the weight she’d gained during her pregnancy, and looked fantastic: slim and fit, dressed in a black silk blouse that strained to cover her milk-heavy breasts, a lacy red wrap-around skirt, silk stockings, high heels that I imagined were really uncomfortable, but made her strong, muscular legs almost irresistible.
ÂÂ
All I wanted to do was run my hands over them. Caress them softly, for hours and hours.
ÂÂ
After a spirited round of air hockey, in which I fought hard to the end but lost – gracefully, I might add – to Hubby, I spent most of the evening just following Julia around, from room to room. Doing my best to be inconspicuous and failing miserably while I kept glancing her way.
ÂÂ
I blamed my inability to appear discreet on the beer I kept sipping. Damn beer.
ÂÂ
It got late. A few couples went home. Eventually everybody left – all the die-hard, alcoholics, er, gamers – ended up in the kitchen, standing at the counter or lounging at the table, drinking and eating chips and salsa. It didn’t take long for the conversation to shift to Julia’s last pregnancy, and Hubby made some drunken, off-hand comment about how “…Julia’s doctor said that she’s so fertile, she can get knocked up at the drop of a hat...â€Â
ÂÂ
Julia blushed heavily, and got really, really quiet; she stared down at her hands and picked nervously at the paper label on her drink bottle. Hubby never even noticed how badly he’d embarrassed her. He just kept on talking, as if she wasn’t even there. A few minutes later, she stood up and wandered off. Feeling natures call after all the beer I’d swigged, I excused myself and went looking for the restroom.
ÂÂ
Hubby was making lots of money now, and their house was big and new, and I had only been there maybe once or twice. The only bathroom I knew of was upstairs, down the hall next to the master bedroom.
ÂÂ
The muffled sound of drunken laughter followed me up, while my over-full bladder was desperately trying to send me warning signs. I found the bathroom, heard a noise from beyond the partially open door at the end of the hall.
ÂÂ
Someone was crying, but trying hard to keep it under control.
ÂÂ
I already knew who it was, but I crept closer, and peeked; carefully peered into the room. I couldn’t help myself. I’m a sucker for a crying woman.
ÂÂ
Saw Julia, sitting on the edge of her bed, weeping. I must not have been as sneaky as I thought I was, because she stood abruptly and viciously wiped tears away from her swollen, red-rimmed eyes; smoothed her skirt down over her hips.
ÂÂ
We stood there for what seemed like ages. Not moving. Not speaking. We just stood, staring at each other.
ÂÂ
And then Julia did the strangest thing.
ÂÂ
She reached up and unbuttoned her blouse. Slowly and carefully undid each tiny pearl button. Slipped the blouse off and let it fall to the carpet. Kept her eyes locked on mine the entire time.
ÂÂ
Then she untied her skirt, and let it fall away. It whispered down her legs, pooled at her feet.
ÂÂ
Time froze. I held my breath. Heard the pounding of my heart in my chest; heard the low roar of the blood burning in my ears.
ÂÂ
She bent over and slipped off her shoes, her face still tilted upwards, eyes on mine. Her creamy-white breasts jiggled slightly, trapped in the cotton cups of her nursing bra. A small cross on a delicate silver necklace dangled, caught deep in the cleft between her breasts. She stood up slowly, ran her hands up her thighs to the waistband of her white, satin slip. Turned until her back was to me and pushed the clinging material down over her hips; bent again and pushed until the slip pooled on the floor with her skirt.
ÂÂ
My tongue felt swollen and thick, stuck to the roof of my mouth. I couldn’t swallow. I couldn’t breathe. My entire world had narrowed to this; my view of Julia, very slowly and surely taking off her clothes in front of me.
ÂÂ
She straightened and turned to me again, her hands loose at her sides. She brushed the last of her tears from her cheeks, shook her hair back. That image of her, with her tear-streaked face, clothed only in her bra, panties, and stockings, burned deep into my mind.
ÂÂ
Julia raised her arms, cupped her breasts, and stepped towards me. Then she reached out, and quietly shut the door.
ÂÂ
I licked my dry lips.
ÂÂ
A few moments later my head started to clear, and I managed to stagger into the bathroom.
ÂÂ
*
ÂÂ
Fast forward a few years. Julia was getting ready to throw a surprise party for her Hubby, planning the bash with Diana and her mom, who was now living with us. Actually, she was splitting time between babysitting for Julia and Hubby at their place, and annoying the hell out of me the rest of the time. It was summer, and Julia had cut her beautiful hair, shaved it close and spiky; prompting her little boy to say she was the ugliest mom in the world.
ÂÂ
Made her cry, the little shit.
ÂÂ
Honestly, it did take a little getting used to, but after a while I kind of liked the cut. It showed off the slope of Julia’s neck. She and Hubby had taken up cycling, and they’d just come back from their anniversary, a two-week long trip to Maui. She was tanned a deep, even nut-brown, and was as sexy as I’d ever seen her. She’d taken to wearing tight khaki shorts and open blouses over low-cut t-shirts.
ÂÂ
Amazing.
ÂÂ
So the day of the big surprise, I get stuck holding Hubby’s birthday present. It had been hidden at our house so he wouldn’t stumble across it, and I had to take it to work with me for Julia to pick up.
ÂÂ
I’m a partner in a small film production company. My other partners are friends of mine, Dave and Swan. It was lunch time when she showed up, and I was the only person still in the office. I met her in our tiny lobby. We said hi, made small talk. She was in her shorts and t-shirt mode, and I was once again having trouble keeping my attention from drifting down to her cleavage.
ÂÂ
I had a song running through my head the entire time she was there, something along the lines of: Julia has great big boobies; big, big boobies… I want to suck her boobies, and squeeze her bootie too…
It went on and on like that, until she left. The building was quiet, and I got to work, poking around in my office, quietly singing my new favorite song about Julia’s boobs and bootie to myself. I had my back turned to the door, obliviously dinking around on my computer, so intent on what I was doing that I never noticed her come back into the shop, or prop herself against the doorframe and listen to me singing, happily embellishing my dirty little ditty.
ÂÂ
Feeding me rope.
ÂÂ
After a bit she cleared her throat and yanked the invisible rope tight. I jumped, about had a heart attack. She made a face. Tilted her head and smirked at me. Embarrassment came fast. I felt the blood rush to my face, felt my cheeks burn.
ÂÂ
She pointed at the gaily wrapped package on the shelf above my desk.
ÂÂ
“I forgot the present,†she said.
ÂÂ
“Oh.†I nodded, playing it smooth. “Right. Can’t forget that.â€Â
ÂÂ
I grabbed the box, handed it to her. Our fingers brushed when she took it. A ragged jolt of electricity ran through me, leaving my fingertips tingling when it passed.
ÂÂ
Julia shook the box slightly, grinned. Then she turned and left. The air rushed out of me and I collapsed weakly in my leather chair.
ÂÂ
I almost wished I’d had the heart attack.
ÂÂ
Instead, I called my partner, Swan. Told him all about planting my foot firmly in my mouth.
ÂÂ
First thing out of his was, “Dude, you fuck her?â€Â
ÂÂ
“What? No!â€Â
ÂÂ
“Should’a, man. Should’a bent her over right there on your desk.â€Â
ÂÂ
Typical. My friends.
ÂÂ
I spent the rest of the afternoon wondering if I could somehow weasel out of attending the party.
ÂÂ
Turned out I couldn’t. Not without culling a shitload of bad mojo between me and Diana. So I took one for the team and sweated it out; my paranoia reading volumes into every little glance Julia tossed my way, wondering what the innuendo of each, casual comment she made held.
ÂÂ
It was a long night.
ÂÂ
At the end, I got another chaste, goodnight hug and another tiny smile from Julia, and spent a long ride back to the house with Diana. Her mom stayed the weekend at Julia’s, so she and Hubby could go up to their mountain hideaway to celebrate his birthday privately. Julia was supposed to drive Mom – Marleen - back to our place on Monday.
ÂÂ
I was so relieved to finally get out of their house that little detail completely slipped from my mind.
ÂÂ
*
ÂÂ
So Monday rolled around like a bad bout of stomach flu. Fortunately, it was my day off. Swan was at the office instead, editing raw film stock for a project we were working on. Diana was gone at work and I was home alone, sitting at the dining room table with my pants down around my ankles, nasty porn on the laptop, merrily jacking off to beat the band, so to speak.
ÂÂ
Getting to the good part, if you know what I mean. Heh.
ÂÂ
Then somebody opened the back door and walked noisily into the kitchen. I heard two voices, muffled under the loud, phony moans of cocaine induced passion emitting from my laptops’ speakers.
ÂÂ
I realized that I knew both the new voices. I froze with my hand on the goods, with lingerie covered tits and ass on the screen, scrubby, heroin-addict looking guys with big fat dicks giving what-for to tiny little women with fake tits. Then I heard footsteps, coming my way.
ÂÂ
I slammed the laptop shut and jumped to my feet – as best I could with my pants down, anyway – wondering wildly if I could just disappear, or, failing that, if maybe I could crawl under the table and hide.
ÂÂ
Totally stupid idea.
ÂÂ
Even in my crazed state, my rational mind knew our little table was way too small to make a decent hiding place for a midget, much less for my six-foot, two hundred pound, partially-clothed bod. We didn’t even have a tablecloth. My hairy ass would stick right out.
ÂÂ
Instead, I shuffled as fast as I could behind a chair, vainly trying to jerk my pants up with one hand, while using the other to try and cover my rapidly dwindling erection. My jeans, which up to that point in time had given me long years of faded, broken-in, ripped-crotch comfort decided they hated me and stuck down around my knees.
ÂÂ
I made it behind the chair and pressed my dick against the back of the thin wood frame, just as Marleen came rushing into the dining room.
ÂÂ
I froze, praying to a blindly merciful God (not the fire-and-brimstone God of the Old Testament. No. I was praying to a kinder and gentler God, the Heavenly Being who finds endless amusement in torturing mere mortals by setting up these types of practical jokes). Prayed that if I didn’t move and didn’t breathe, I could somehow blend right into the wallpaper.
ÂÂ
Maybe my prayers worked. Marleen scooted right past without even glancing my way, just waved her hand in my general direction and mumbled something about having to pee like a racehorse.
ÂÂ
I blinked in surprise; let my breath out in a whoosh. Let my guard down.
ÂÂ
Said a quiet thank you to the Almighty.
ÂÂ
He, however, is nothing if not a Mighty Jokester, as you probably already realize.
ÂÂ
Just as I slumped over in relief, Julia walked into the room, looking grumpy and distracted, mouth open, ready to continue her conversation with Marleen.
ÂÂ
Then she noticed me: my pants still nowhere up around where they should be, still clinging to my knees. She blinked and shook her head, like she was seeing things. Like crazy, drunken half-naked man had just materialized in my dining room.
ÂÂ
I grinned. Gave her a feeble wave. “Hi, Jule,†I said.
ÂÂ
She blinked again. Then a big, surprised smile spread across her face.
ÂÂ
“Well, hi, Dev.â€Â
ÂÂ
Beat.
ÂÂ
She was staring, her gaze leveled just below my navel. I couldn’t blame her. I’d probably be staring at the crazy, half-naked man too. If I wasn’t the crazy, half-naked man.
ÂÂ
I could hear the silent laughter of the Almighty, ringing in my head.
ÂÂ
Julia licked her lips, looked at the computer. Back at me. Put two and two together. Raised a pretty eyebrow.
ÂÂ
“Not expecting company?â€Â
ÂÂ
“Ah…well, no. Not really.â€Â
ÂÂ
She moved a little to her right. Got a better view. I grabbed my crotch with both hands and shuffled towards the back of the table.
ÂÂ
“I see.†Yes, she did. The whole f’n world probably could.
ÂÂ
I got a good grip on my pants and tried to wiggle them up, but just to add fuel to the fire, my cock decided to spring anew, as it were. Popped right up, poking straight out at Julia. I couldn’t pull the damn jeans over the thing.
Julia’s look of curiosity changed. She took a step closer, ran the tip of a finger along the edge of my table. I swear I could feel her fingernail on my flesh. My cock twitched, got even bigger. I shuffled backwards, an inch at a time, but she caught me. Stopped, barely an inch away from me.
ÂÂ
I froze again, trying to hold up my pants and hide my stuff at the same time.
ÂÂ
She was breathing lightly, easily. She slowly, gently put both of her hands on my chest. They felt like they were on fire, like they would burn through my t-shirt. I watched the moist, pink tip of her tongue flick out and lick her lips. It seemed like it was moving in slow motion. Her hands moved lower, towards my belly. Her perfect eyes fluttered closed. She pursed her lips, leaned in…
ÂÂ
Down the hall, the toilet flushed. The bathroom door banged open. Marleen stomped out, grumbling something about there never being enough toilet paper in the house.
ÂÂ
Julia’s eyes snapped open, and she shoved me into the living room. Turned on her heel and faced the hallway, crossed her arms under her breasts. I scrambled and hid behind the wall as Marleen stalked back into the dining room.
ÂÂ
“Finished?†Julia, acting impatient, tapping her foot, improvising. “We need to get the rest of your stuff from the car. I’ve got to go.â€Â
I heard Marleen bustle back into the kitchen. Julia popped her head into the living room as I was buttoning up my fly.
ÂÂ
She shot me a wicked grin, then disappeared.
ÂÂ
I crashed back against the wall, exhausted. I could still hear somebody laughing, the sound of it ringing in my ears.
ÂÂ
*
ÂÂ
So there’s the history. Most of it, anyway. There’s more, like the time Julia got really interested in purchasing art, and since I had an art background of sorts, she invited me along to go to some kind of an art festival with her. The festival was a yearly thing, held out of town. Far enough away that we would’ve been gone a day or two. She was going to rent a hotel room for us. A single room, to ‘save money’.
ÂÂ
Everyone seemed okay with the idea, except for me. Granted, Julia made a point to mention that the room had double beds. But – call me crazy, here – how many young, newly-wed women invite their sister-in-law’s boyfriend on a weekend long trip, and shack up with him, alone, in a hotel room?
ÂÂ
The art phase blew over pretty quickly, and we never did go to the festival. Not long after, Julia found out she was pregnant. Hubby passed out during the first ultrasound, and didn’t fare much better during the Lamaze classes.
ÂÂ
She asked if I would be her coach.
ÂÂ
After the shock wore off, I actually went to one class with her before she was finally able to convince Hubby to join her. It was probably the strangest, most surreal thing I’ve ever done, letting her lean up against me, holding her while we practiced breathing together. I needed to travel to California for business when Julia had the actual delivery, but Diana was there, encouraging Julia to breathe and trying to keep her brother from fainting dead away before his daughter was born.
ÂÂ
Later, she told me that during one of the contractions she saw Julia poop; one little, golden nugget that shot out of her butt, right before the first part of her daughters head oozed into view.
ÂÂ
You can’t imagine how glad I was that I missed that.
ÂÂ
Then there was the time about a year ago, when I found out that Prince (you know: The Artist Formerly Known As, who Now Was Again…) was coming to town to play two shows. Last time to hear the old hits live!
ÂÂ
I freaked out. I was a Prince fan from wa-ay back. How could I miss seeing him screech out Little Red Corvette one last time? I was with Diana, in her car, reading one of the free, hip local papers, and asked her to go.
ÂÂ
She laughed. Basically said forget it. But hey, she said, Julia loves Prince. Why don’t you ask her to go? (This was before the whole suspected affair confrontation, obviously – )
ÂÂ
“You’re kidding.†I said.
ÂÂ
“No, really.â€Â
ÂÂ
So I said okay, grabbed my cell phone and called. Hubby answered. I asked Hubby if it was okay if I asked his wife out on a date, and he laughed and said sure, and he handed the phone to Julia, and I told her what was up and asked her if she wanted to go with me, and then she freaked out, and then she said sure, and I said that I’d buy the tickets in the next day or so, and she started planning out the whole night…
ÂÂ
I called about seating the next day, and found out that the tickets were some God-awful, astronomical amount, even for the cheap seats. Expensive, like it would cost me about three hundred bucks for the two of us to go, even with crappy seats.
ÂÂ
Probably about typical for arena shows nowadays, but man! Three hundred bucks! And I wasn’t expecting to get anything after the show, like a real date. Not even a kiss. I figured that if I really wanted to hear Little Red Corvette, I could just pop on the CD for free.
ÂÂ
Julia seemed really bummed when I called her back a week later and let her know both of the shows had sold out.
ÂÂ
***
ÂÂ
So.
ÂÂ
Now it’s springtime. The skies are turning blue, the birds are chirping, flowers are blooming; it’s the time of year when a man’s fancy turns to thoughts of love, and all that.
ÂÂ
My allergies are making me sneeze something fierce. Business is good: Swan and I are shooting a new series of television commercials. My writers block is just – seems to be, anyway – a fading memory. I found my missing notebook stuffed in our junk drawer. Now the novel is slowly moving along. Maybe it’ll eventually see the light of day.
ÂÂ
Yesterday I got an email from Julia. I haven’t heard from her in a while. Not since the fallout between me and Diana over the anonymous sexy emails. She finally sent me her famed barbecue recipe (the barbecue connection again!). I’d forgotten all about it.
ÂÂ
Sounded good, so I tried it out and spent all day cooking. After seven hours with ribs broiling in the oven, the house smelled delicious.
ÂÂ
Now I’m sitting here, munching on some truly dy-no-mite barbecue, listening to my iPod while I write this, thinking about all the stuff I’ve mentioned (I swear my iPod can read my mind. These are the last four songs it played, in order: We Got A Date, by 24-7 Spyz; So In Love, by Curtis Mayfield; Fishbone’s Bonin’ In The Boneyard; and Just Cuz She Was Nice, by Weapon of Choice – The four stages of a relationship: the first kiss, the first bloom of love, the first sex, the eventual nasty breakup).

To the point of all this: Along with the recipe, she sent a reminder that the Fair was going to open on Friday, and she wanted to know if we were still going. She’d drive us down, and we could make a full day of it then come back late; or we could just crash at a cheap hotel for the night and drive back home the next afternoon.
ÂÂ
Let me know soon, she wrote.
ÂÂ
So. Okay. I’ve read this email several times now. Haven’t replied yet, mainly because I’ve been reading it over and over.
ÂÂ
Wondering.
ÂÂ
Here’s what I’ve been thinking: For the most part, I can separate fantasy from reality. All shit aside, I’m a normal, rational guy, intelligent enough to know that thinking with my dick makes me read things into situations like these – things that I interpret as sexual innuendo – when really nothing of the kind is going on.
ÂÂ
I casually mentioned the email to Diana, and she’s been teasing me about it ever since. But I think she’s cool with it. We’ve spent a lot of time these last months trying to repair our relationship. I think she trusts me again, at least a little. I hope so. I like her a lot, and I don’t want to screw things up again.
ÂÂ
And then there’s Julia’s marriage. They’ve got their share of problems, to be sure, but I know that Julia’s husband loves her, and I think she loves him too.
ÂÂ
But…there’s all this stuff….
ÂÂ
I’m in a quandary; on the horns of a dilemma. I can’t decide whether or not to go. I know what my motivation for going with her is, but I’m just not sure about Julia’s reasons for asking me.
ÂÂ
So, dear reader, knowing what you do of my relationship woes, I’ll leave it to a vote.
ÂÂ
Do I go? If I do, will there be more to this little drama? How will my day at the fair turn out? Will I finally get to knock boots with Julia? Am I just a testosterone driven idiot to even consider it?
ÂÂ
Let me know what you think, and I’ll let you know how everything turns out…
"You take that side of the street," said my friend, John. "And I'll take this side."
"Cool." I said. "Then we'll meet up at your house for lunch?"
John nodded, already walking across the street, pushing a big old wheelbarrow in front of him. We'd been hauling old newspapers for our Scout troop paper drive all morning, and it was getting hot out.
"I bet I'll get more than you this trip!" he hollered over his shoulder.
I laughed and dragged my rusting red trailer after me. "Yeah, whatever!"

face="Arial" size="2">The first couple of houses I hit had zip. Nothing.
Nobody home, not even on a quiet summer morning. A lot of houses we'd tried so far had been empty, the owners probably off at work. I'd made a big score on my last house, finding an old couple that had stacks of grocery bags filled with newsprint stored in their basement. Enough that I'd had to get John to come and help me haul everything back to his place, where we carefully stacked and bundled the loose papers with twine, to be picked up later that night by our Scoutmaster. Over the last couple hours, we'd worked our way through enough of the neighborhood that we were moving farther and farther out, into relatively unknown territory. We were all by ourselves, just the two of us, dressed in our Scout uniforms, with the khaki shorts and green button up shirts, the dumb scarves clasped around our necks, with our merit badges sewn to sashes that we wore with pride, slung over our shoulders for effect.
It was probably a crazy thing to do, a couple ten-year-olds going from house to house, asking strangers to give us old newspapers to recycle. But back in those days, we just didn't really think of the dangers that might be out there, the weirdos that preyed on unsuspecting kids.
At least I didn't.
Until I rang another doorbell, and the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen answered. The house was set back from the street, nice and tidy, with a new sports car parked in the driveway. I remember thinking that since a car was there, I had a good chance of at least getting someone to answer the door. Well, I was right about that. The girl who opened the door was probably fresh out of high school, long and leggy, with straight, golden blonde hair that hung down to her waist and a face and figure made for California beaches. She was wearing a pair of old Levi cutoff's that where ripped at the seams, all the way up to the waistband, and a faded denim shirt about three sizes too big for her, with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows, and the front unbuttoned down to her navel.
"Well, aren't you the cutest thing in the world," She said.
Man! I'd never seen anything like her! And she was talking to me! And she called me cute!
Boy, oh, boy, did I get flustered. How I stuttered through my big speech! All I could do was stare at her thin gold necklace, nestled gently in-between the curve of her heavy breasts. I'm sure she noticed me looking, but when I finally finished my babbling, she smiled and turned to someone inside the house. The television was on, and she shouted, "Hey Tim! This cute little guy wants to know if we have any newspapers!"
I heard some rustling, and then there was an older, tall guy with curly, salt and pepper hair standing behind the vision of beauty. He put his hands on her hips and gave me the once over. The girl kind of leaned back into him and stared up over her shoulder at him while he appraised me.
Then he smiled. "Yeah, sure. I think we can find something," he said. "C'mon in."
He reached out and swung open the screen door, waved me inside.
"Um, well..." I stuttered, not sure of myself.
I was feeling pretty uncomfortable, but the girl reached out for me and took me by my arm.
"Hey, c'mon. We won't bite." She gave me a gentle tug. "You like football?"
"Yeah, sure. I guess so." I said.
"Well, watch the game with me while Daddy looks."
"Uh, Okay."
I reluctantly followed her inside, and she closed the door. I found myself standing in a small foyer, that opened up into a living room furnished with leather couches and shag rugs. A television was on, blaring a football game. Empty beer bottles were scattered on the coffee table, a grotesque thing made out of polished driftwood, and there were even more littering the floor. There were sticks of incense burning,and a sweet, cloying smell hung in the air. I could see an ashtray and a plastic baggy filled with pot, a feathered roach clip lying to the side. A huge homemade bong sat on the floor next to the sofa.
The girl collapsed onto the couch, her long tan legs sprawling. Her titties bounced, and her shirt opened, and for a brief moment I caught a glimpse of a large brown nipple. I got a little dizzy, suddenly. She leaned over and grapped a beer bottle while I stood there uncomfortably. I couldn't take my eyes off of her.
She leaned back again, sipping beer, her shirt now rucked up around her waist, and patted the seat of the couch with the bottom of her foot. "Sit down with me," she said, and held the bottle out to me. "Here, you look hot. Have a drink."
My eyes widened. "Um." I said. "I don't..."
"Don't get all goofy on me, baby. I just offered you a drink, that's all."
I blinked. She was offering me beer? John was never going to believe this! What a story!
I sat down on the couch as far from her as I could, and she handed me the bottle. It was cold and damp with condensation. I smiled weakly at her.
"Go ahead," she said. "Daddy won't care. Try it."
I'd had sips of beer before, at family bar-b-que's. I didn't really like how it tasted, but I didn't want to disappoint this woman who'd taken an interest in me. "Okay," I said. I closed my eyes and sipped. The tip of the bottle was warm and wet where her lips had touched. I could vaguely taste lipstick before the sip I'd taken trickled down my throat.
"What a weenie. Take a big gulp."
She giggled and leaned forward, and her breasts fell out of her shirt. My eyes went wide, and then she tipped the bottle all the way up, sending a torrent of the bitter liquid into my mouth, and all over my shirt and pants. I came up for air, sputtering and coughing. She took the empty bottle out of my hand, laughing.
"Oh, shit! Sorry!" She said, her soft hands wiping down my face. "I just meant to tip it a little! Now look - I got you all wet. Man, let me get you a towel!"
She got up and ran into the hall and into a tiny bathroom, emerging with a white fluffy bath-towel. She sat close to me and started patting my shirt down. Her breasts jiggled while she worked. The feel of her hands on me made my eyes blur. Suddenly, my little chubby sprouted wood, and it felt like all the blood left my head.
"Man!" She grinned. "What a mess! And you smell like beer! We can't send you home like this! Maybe I should wash your clothes for you."
"Oh... Uh, that's okay..." I mumbled. But she was already tugging my sash over my head.
"Here, stand up for me for a second," She said.
I was still blinking beer out of my eyes, and I guess I wasn't thinking straight. I stood up, and she patted at my crotch with the towel. I almost keeled over when she rubbed my already straining cock.
"Wow, you're really soaked. Let's get these off you..."
Before I knew what was happening, she'd unbuckled my belt, unbuttoned and unzipped me, and my wet shorts had fallen down around my ankles. She looked at the little tent sprouting in my damp underpants, and grinned up at me.
"Hey," she said. "I think you like me."
"Um." I said. "Yeah?"
She giggled and stood up in one slow movement. Then she grabbed my shirt and pulled it open. I heard buttons pop, and she yanked it down over my shoulders. She stepped close and rubbed up against me. I could feel the rough denim of her shirt on my chest, against my chilled bare skin, and the warmth of her soft skin against mine. She was taller than I was by several inches, and looked into my eyes.
Then she pushed me flat onto the couch and started tugging my underwear down my legs. I was breathing hard, my legs caught in my pants, and my hands pinned behind my back by my shirt. I didn't know what she was going to do, and I'd completely forgotten about the guy named Tim who was somewhere looking for newspapers for me, and I didn't care. All that mattered was that this gorgeous, half naked woman was leaning over me, undressing me, and my cock was so hard it felt like it was going to pop.
"Oh shit, you're a horny little man aren't you," she giggled when my dick sprung free of my underpants. "That's so cute!"
She yanked off my shoes and wrestled with the damp tangle of shorts, socks and underpants until they were all lying on the living room carpet. Then I watched as she wiggled out of her short-shorts, and gasped as she crawled on top of me.
"My name's Jessie," she whispered, and kissed me. Not the dry, chaste pecks the women in my family gave me when we got together during holidays. No, Jessie didn't waste time with that. She cupped my cheeks and pressed her lips tight to mine, and slowly pushed her tongue deep into my mouth.
Jessie, I thought. I liked her name. In my delirium, I realized I never told her what my name was.
I heard Jessie moan as she kissed me. I managed to make some kind of grunting sound as her hips came wiggling down on me, and for the first time ever, that wonderful, soft, velvety warmth of a wet pussy enveloped my swollen little cock. My hips jerked up, and I heard a meaty smack as I buried my dick into her cunt.
She broke the kiss and smiled down at me. Her long hair brushed my face and she tucked some of it behind her ear. She put her hands on my skinny chest and slowly pushed herself up, until she was completely riding my cock. Then she yanked her shirt open, giving me my first real, up close look at a woman's body. She shook her hair back over her shoulders, then took off the shirt and tossed it onto a chair across the room.
Jessie cupped her huge breasts in her hands. I stared in happy wonderment at the tan lines from a string bikini that criss-crossed her chest and over her shoulders. She gently rode me, squeezing and playing with her titties. I watched in envy as she pinched her big brown nipples until they were rock hard, all the while frantically trying to worm my hands out from my shirtsleeves so I could touch her.
And then I saw the guy, Tim, standing behind her in the hallway, quietly watching us, and my eyes shot open.
"Oh, jeez!" I shouted, and tried to buck Jessie off me. "Jeez!" I said again. "I didn't mean..."
Tim and Jessie both laughed. She pushed my shoulders hard, shoving me firmly back down onto the leather couch, and glanced behind her as Tim sauntered up behind her.
"Hey, little man. It's okay." Tim stroked her hair. "I see you've made a new friend, huh, Jess?"
"Yeah, Daddy." She grinned at him, kept me pinned, all the while slowly grinding her hips in a small circle. Nothing ever felt so good. But I was scared to death. She glanced back down at me. "I like him, baby. Can I keep him?"
Tim raised an eyebrow. One huge hand clamped in her hair and yanked her head backwards. The other slipped around her waist and squeezed one of her tits hard enough that the color drained from her darkly tanned skin. "Hmm. We'll see about that."
They kissed. His bristly mustache scraped the tender skin around her lips, leaving blotchy red marks. His other hand left her hair and grabbed her loose tit. He started to chew on her neck and her shoulders, leaving red bite marks as he squeezed and played with her boobs. Jessie started to buck on top of me and gasp for breath. I could see her belly muscles twitching, and her pussy clamped so hard around my little cock I jumped and felt a tingle building somewhere deep in my body.
And then Tim roughly pushed her away, shoved her down until she was lying flat on my chest. Jessie breathed heavily in my ear and wrapped her hands under my arms, grabbing my shoulders tight. She started to lick me, running the tip of her warm tongue around the edge of my earlobe, nibbling softly. Tim stared down at her. His face looked ugly.
"You love to fuck, don't you, you little fucking cunt."
"Yeeeeaaaaahhh..." Jessie breathed, and squirmed.
Her pussy kept spasming. I groaned. My arms were falling asleep. I didn't care.
Tim unbuttoned his jeans and let them fall. He wasn't wearing any underwear, and his massive, purple cock sprung out, long and thick and hard, pulsing, hanging halfway down the side of his leg. He pulled off his t-shirt and stepped out of the jeans puddled on the floor. The leather crinkled as he climbed onto the couch behind Jessie. I felt his hair legs brush my calves, and saw him grab his cock and lever it towards Jessie's rear end.
"Oh, yeah. Fuck me, Daddy," Jessie was whispering. "Fuck my sweet ass..."
Tim thrust a couple times, and I saw his cock rubbing up and down her butt. I could feel the hair from his big, heavy balls tickle the insides of my thighs. He roughly shoved my left leg off the couch, trying to give himself better access to Jessie's ass. The shag carpet felt cool against the bottom of my foot. Jessie hissed in my ear, and she let out a hoarse grunt and her fingernails dug into my shoulders when Tim finally pushed the tip of his cock into her ass.
"That's right, baby," he grunted. I heard him slap her butt. He laughed, and I saw him hit her again. Jessie's smooth butt cheek had a bright red imprint where he'd hit her. He slapped her again. Her ass jiggled. Her pussy twitched. I groaned.
And then he grabbed her around the waist and rammed his dick into her, hard. Jessie screamed. Her head jerked back and her spine arched. Tim pulled his hips back and slammed them forward, over and over. I felt a heavy, thick pressure push down on my cock as he shoved his way into her rectum. Her bruised, beautiful tits bounced and jiggled, her nipples brushing on my chest. She tossed her head, her long hair falling on my face, getting into my mouth and nose. It smelled nice, like flowers. But I couldn't breath with all of her hair on my face. I felt like I was smothering. I tried to spit it out while Tim started to ride her.
Jessie leaned forward again, laying all the weight of her body on my chest. The two of us jerked up and down on the couch while Tim rammed her. He was grunting like an animal, swearing at her, slapping her ass as hard as he could while he pounded her. She squealed and moaned and gasped for air, her arms wrapped around me so tightly I thought she might crush me. I watched her eyes roll back in their sockets. The tingling in my body was building, moving deep into my crotch.
And then Tim leaned over, and kissed me.
His dry, thick tongue forced it's way deep into my mouth. My eyes shot open. His added weight knocked all the air out of my lungs. His mustache felt like sandpaper, and his mouth tasted of alcohol and pot. He grabbed a handful of my hair and kept me from turning away, flicking his tongue in and out, biting my lower lip. Then he stopped and grinned at me.
"You like fucking my little girl?" He said.
I was terrified. Tears dripped down my cheeks, into my hair. I couldn't say anything. He shook my head. "I said, you like fucking my little girl?"
I managed to nod.
"That's good. You just relax, boy, and we'll all get along just fine..."
Tim suddenly pushed himself off Jessie, and pulled his cock out of her butt with a wet pop.
"Get off of him, you little whore." He grunted. "I want to see him fuck your ass now."
Jessie smiled at me and climbed off. Tim took hold of my right leg, and flipped me over with out any trouble. Then he grabbed my shoulders and pulled me up against him. Jessie climbed back onto the couch, facing away from me with her ass up in the air. Tim grabbed my little cock with one hand and stroked me until I was completely hard again, and then guided my dick to her gaping asshole. He shoved me into her until the tip of my penis lodged home, and then pushed my ass with his thighs, forcing my hips forward, until I slowly eased into her butt.
The wirey hair on his chest rubbed into my back. His cock was burning hot, rubbing up and down my ass crack. My hands and arms were still all tangled in my shirt. He ran his huge, calloused hands up and down my belly, over my skinny chest, pinching my nipples. One of his big hands cupped my throat, the other slipped down between my crotch and Jessie's ass cheeks, and he tickled the light dust of hair covering my balls.
"That's a good boy," he mumbled. "Now fuck my daughter, or I'll have to spank you."
I gulped. I felt my adam's apple bob against the palm of his hand gripping my throat.
"Fuck her, boy. Can't you tell how bad she wants you to cum in her asshole?"
I gulped again, and managed to nod.
I looked down at Jessie. Her back was arched, her muscles tense. Her waist was tiny, her hips wide and flaring. Her ass was round and tan, with another light tan line running right up her butt crack and circling around her waist.
That string bikini, I thought crazily. I bet she looks great in her bikini...
Then Tim pushed me over, and his fingers dug into the skin around my butthole. He used his thumbs to spread me open. I felt something round and hard pushing, an painful pressure building, like I had to take a huge poop. I heard him say, "Oh, yeah. Look at that..." And then I heard him spit. A warm glob of wet splattered on the top of my ass crack and dripped down my butt. He hawked, and spit again, started to massage it in, trying to lubricate the shaft of his cock and my butt, all the while keeping up the pressure, pushing his huge cock slowly into my virgin young asshole. He pushed in an inch, then two, then three...
Then he gripped my waist like he had Jessie's, and gave a good solid shove with his hips. His cock sunk in a good six inches, and my whole body jerked. Underneath me, Jessie gasped with pleasure, and I felt a flood of moisture spurt onto my thighs. Her hands clutched at the leather cushions, and she jerked and collapsed. Tim pounded my ass again, knocking me on top of Jessie, and he kept right on going, lying right on top of me, crushing the wind out of me. His arm snaked around my throat, choking me while he screwed his cock even deeper into me, inch by inch. He stuck his tongue deep into my ear, started to lick and bite my ear and my neck.
Finally, I felt his hairy balls settle against my little nuts.
Tim slowly fucked me, grinding his hips, not pulling the foot long dick out of my ass for more than an inch or two before grinding it back in. It felt like someone had shoved a baseball bat into my rectum. It hurt. Sharp, searing pain as the tender skin ripped, and then an awful stinging as the salty blood began to seep over the torn flesh of my anus. A thick, heavy feeling settled deep into my bowels. My fingertips scrabbled against his stomach, leaving scratches, but there was little else I could do. The pain in my ass, his crushing weight, and the arm wrapped tight around my throat gave me barely enough air to breathe, but not enough to scream.
Under me, Jessie's whole body was twitching. Her hips were jerking up and down, almost ripping my little cock out at the roots. She was biting a pillow, stifling screams of her own as she came, and came, and came. The couch under her was dripping with her pussy juice. She was dripping with our co-mingled sweat and smeared with her cum. Her massive breasts were smashed flat, stuck to the leather.
And then through the haze of pain, I felt the tickle in my body swell, building like a gigantic balloon, until it burst. I opened my mouth in suprise and shame, but the only sounds that escaped where hoarse coughs. And then Tim came, in a sudden, gasping rush. His hips jerked against my ass cheeks, and I felt his cock swell even bigger inside me. Her pulled out and cornholed me one, two, three more times, fucking me fast and hard until he came, sending hot streams stinging, sticky cum into my ruptured and torn butt, until it mixed with the blood and shit seeping out of my anus and oozed down my balls and over his own daughter's ass.
Suddenly, my orgasm burst into jittery fits, my entire body burning with pleasure and pain and shame. Somehow, I enjoyed my first orgasm, while I was getting fucked in the ass by some crazy son of a bitch and his psycho daughter...
When it was all over, we lay there on the couch, panting. Until finally Tim gently pulled his flaccid cock out of my ass, and gave me a soft pat on the butt.
"That," he said, "was the best fuck I've had in a long fucking time."
Jessie rolled onto her back underneath me. She gave me a tired smile and kissed me, her soft tongue exploring my mouth. "Me too."
Tim was pulling on his pants. "You still want to keep him?" He asked.
Jessie broke the kiss and wiped tears from my eyes. "Yeah. I think so."
"You want me to take him up to our room for later, baby?"
She squirmed. A wicked smile played across her face.
"Oh, yeah!"
"Okay - Hold on to him for a sec."
Jessie wrapped those long legs around my back, her arms around my neck. Her pussy rubbed my cock, and despite me, it stiffened again. She kissed me. I heard Tim move around the house, then a hand grabbed my hair and jerked my head back. I groaned, and Jessie shoved a hard red rubber ball into my mouth, and Tim let go of my hair and buckled the ball gag into place.
Then he picked me up and threw my naked body over his broad shoulder, and easily carried me up the stairs. Jessie followed us. Tim carried me down a hallway and opened a door to a dark room. Tim flicked on the only light, a low-watt bulb high up in the middle of the ceiling. The only window had been covered and boarded, and thick padding covered the walls, ceiling and floor. The middle of the room contained a king size bed with a solid, rod-iron bedframe, the mattress covered in soiled white satin sheets. A dresser was open, with strange leather items spilling out.
Tim tossed me down on the bed. Thick leather cuffs were attached to the four bed posts. I tried to struggle, but he sat on me. Jessie helped, and the quickly had me spread-eagled and buckled in, safe and snug.
Jesse kissed the top of my forehead, and closed the bedroom door. She pulled a black leather riding crop from the dresser, and smacked it into the palm of her hand. She turned back to me with an ugly gleam in her eye.
"Actually," Tim said, "Don't get to cozy. I need to go move his wagon. So I'll leave you two alone for a few minutes so you can get more acquainted. Then when I come back, let's have some more fun."
