It was a beautiful April Sunday, the first really nice day all year. Lily Morgan drove her new(well, used..new to her) 1967 Chevy Impala down the scenic highway with the windows down, enjoying the sounds and scents of nature that filled the car. She had just bought it the weekend before, and was on her way to the dojo where she trained in aikido to show it off to her sensei.
Marrok Daniel arrived at the dojo around three, after having been out riding his Harley all day. He stood six-foot eight, and was well built and good looking for 45. As he got off his bike, he watched the beautiful blue-black Impala pull into the lot, and smiled when he saw Lily's copper-red hair through the window. She was always stunning in his eyes, but seeing her in such a beautiful car, and knowing it was her her first one, made her even more so.
As she got out of her car, Lily couldn't help but smile at the sight of Marrok leaning against that Harley, dressed in his leathers, and looking for all the world like the dangerous bad-ass he really was.
"Nice ride," Marrok said, as Lily walked over to him She smiled back brightly and said, "You too."
"You ready for your first private lesson?"
Lily hesitated only a second before nodding. "Sure," she replied, trying to keep the small quiver from her voice. The thought of being alone at the dojo with her sensei both excited and frightened her. And the fact that they were going to be working rape defense just added to her nerves. After all, Marrok was the one person she was sure she couldn't get away from.
After she got dressed out in her workout pants and black camisole, he had her do some basic stretches, and then kneel down to bow in. They sat in seiza across from each other.
"So," Marrok said, "you wanted to work on some rape defense techniques. And I'd rather I be the one to teach you, so you actually know what you're doing."
Lily smiled. "Hai. Question, though. Why don't you normally teach it here? I would think that'd be something you'd want all your female students to know."
Lily didn't know what had happened. One second, she was sitting in front of Marrok. And the next, she was on her stomach on the floor, with Marrok pinning her arms behind her back, one slightly leveraged so that she was held to the floor by the pressure.
"This is why," he said, emphasizing his point by twisting her hand, forcing her chest even more into the floor. "I tend to get a little carried away, especially with someone as gorgeous as you." He twisted her hand a little more, and Lily cried out in pain. She tried to struggle, tried to get even one knee under herself for leverage, but the way he had her pinned, and with the amount of pressure he had on her, she couldn't move an inch. He twisted again, harder this time, and she bit back the scream in her throat, and went still.
