It was one of those nights when you wanted to be indoors. A real log fire crackling away in the hearth as the old black and white film played on the TV, making you snuggle closer to that man sitting next to you. The one who held promise of passion and pleasure in his dark eyes. But for some, it didn't happen that way. The night was cold, and the rain fell in sheets that soaked through your clothes, making you feel miserable and shiver as each and every step became an effort.
Maria was one of those people. Her shift ended late. Later than usual. She had been held up by three customers, wanting to mess around, to get one more drink. But she had managed to get rid of them, got them to drink up and let her close the bar up. She shouldn't have sent the two guys home, but she was the manager, the one responsible for locking up the joint. And now, as she trudged back through the cold, wet streets, she cursed herself for being nice. Infact, she cursed herself for being too damn nice.
The streets she had to walk along were dark and long. Hardly any cars were out, it was late fafter all, they weren't exactly main roads through the town. But for her it was the safest way back, and the quickest. She didn't take any notice of the van parked at the side of the road. It was a normal white van. The sort that you saw every day, like so many others that made deliveries to the various shops and businesses that filled the roads around the town centre. Digging her hands further into the deep pockets of her old coat she sighed, she would be soaked by the time she got home. A nice hot bath and a mug of chocolate would soon warm her up.
The sound of the van starting up made her glance back over her shoulder, but it drove off, disappearing down one of the many side streets that branched off the main road, leading to all parts of the town and beyond. Once the van was out of her sight, it was forgotten. She continued on, making her way through the damp, dark night. She crossed one of the side roads, looking to make sure no car was speeding through the streets, they tended to drive like idiots along these roads. She knew Darren would be waiting for her, she wished he hadn't taken the car to the garage today, she could have done with a lift home. Typical really...
Suddenly someone grabbed her, a hand around her throat. She screamed, but as she opened her mouth something was pushed in, effectively shutting her up. She struggled, but the person holding her was too strong. She felt a chill build, seeping its icy tendrils through her bones.
"Fight all you want bitch, it only makes me harder" a voice growled into her ear and she felt him push his hips forward, rubbing his erection into her back. She whimpered in fear, the cloth pressing her tongue, making her mouth dry. Her nostrils flared as she struggled to fill her panic stricken lungs with air, her eyes wide as she felt her arms forced behind her back and tied with a plastic cable tie. She struggled again, this only made him grab her hair, wrenching her head back and looking at her through twin slits in a black ski mask.
"Feisty little bitch" he said, his voice containing a note of amusement, "I like the feisty ones, always more fun to strip and use." She gulped, oh god, what was this all about? Why her? Another man walked round, he was dressed in black, his head also covered with a ski mask. Only three slits showed any hint of skin, his eyes were hidden in the darkness, "lets get her in the van, don't wanna keep him waiting" the newcomer said, and she was picked up unceremoniously as the side door slid open and she was thrown in, landing on a mattress. Not the hard floor of the van as she was expecting.
The door slammed closed again and she was left in darkness. She heard the front doors open and then shut, the van moving off as she struggled to sit up, to try and get her bearings. But she was trapped. Her hands were secured behind her, her voice silenced by the rag in her mouth. She wriggled to the side, leaning against the cold metal sides. Tears sprung to her eyes, how the hell could this happen? Who had done this? And why? The questions tumbled over themselves in her mind, she squeezed her eyes closed, feeling the tears silently slip from beneath her eyelids. How was she going to get out of this?
The journey seemed to take hours, but it was actually only ten minutes. They drove her to a house just out of town. A place that if she could see it would answer all her questions. The van stopped at the back door, and it was opened from inside. A man stepped out, a grin on his face. No words were exchanged. The driver walked round and opened the door. Maria tried to scramble back, but he cupped her ankle and pulled her to him. His accomplice was there and a pillowcase was pulled down over her head, tied around her throat, not too tightly but enough to make her stop struggling, to make her question if they would hurt her.
She was pulled from the van, "on your feet" the voice said, his breath leaving a warm trail on the skin around her ear. She shuddered, her skin was covered in Goosebumps, for some reason her nipples were hard, straining against the material of her bra, she hated the way her body was responding to the situation, but damn, it was one of her fantasies, one she had often thought about, even written about. But she had never told a sole, this was the real thing, not a set up. No one knew about it, not even Darren.
She was frog marched from the van, one of her captors on each side, their hands propelling her towards some destination. She was scared, her body trembling, her legs didn't want to move. She was half carried into a warm interior. She gulped again, trying once more to struggle. But another voice laughed, a rich, deep laugh that seemed to echo around her. But there was something about that laugh...something hauntingly familiar. But what she couldn't say...she couldn't place it....
When they stopped, she swayed. Trying to steady herself. Her arms were untied and she tried to pull them away, tried to fight, a last effort. But again there was more laughter, her arms were grabbed and cuffs tied around her wrists. She heard a strange noise, like a pulley, her arms then lifted, being raised over her head. She felt them get taunt, and she gasped. She waited, still, knowing this was only the start....
Sure enough hands began to touch her, to caress her. She tried to turn away, to pull back, but someone had her feet, first one then the other was chained to the floor, holding her in place. "Oh that's lovely boys. Now the fun part, lets see what she's hiding under the clothes shall we?"
A scared cry sounded from the rag filled mouth and she felt tears on her cheeks, making the pillow case damp as she felt panic. They were going to do it, to rape her, to hurt her, to do Lord knew what to her. She struggled, pulling, her panic, fear filling the room. Permeating from her, the atmosphere changed.
"If I were you precious, I would hold still. I have a very sharp knife here, I would hate to cut you" the voice made her freeze. She could feel the blade pressing against the pillowcase, the chill of the metal touching her cheek. The pillowcase was cut off and she blinked. A bright light was shining into her face, blinding her even more effectively than the makeshift hood had. The three figures around her were just shadows; shapes standing around the edge of her vision.
One of the shapes moved closer, she narrowed her eyes, but before she could see him, he had a blindfold tied over her eyes, secured tightly. She whimpered in distress and then felt her mouth pried open. She licked her dry lips, her tongue darting out, trying to spread moisture on her parched bow mouth. "Please please dont hurt me" she whispered.
"Hurt you, why precious, we arent going to hurt you. Well not intentionally. We're going to enjoy your body, show you how a body like yours should be treated." Hands were on her breasts then, squeezing her through her clothes. She sobbed, "Please..."
