My husband and I were on our first vacation in years without kids, pets, parents, or friends. We were supposed to be getting back 'in touch' with who we were as a couple.
We had just sent off remortgage #1 (a senior at Perdue), remortgage #2 (a junior at UMass), and remortgage #3 (a freshman at Duke).
We were going to visit long lost cousins who lived in Rehoboth Beach, DE. They were loaning us their newly renovated barn, with a view of the ocean, for the week--no charge--while we babysat their home and 3 cats so that they could go to Alaska.
So there we were at a motor inn that catered to 18 wheelers, somewhere outside of Philly, and totally exhausted.
Why? Because 1) we refused to use GPS and share our location with remortgage #2--who tsks at us like we are wayward children, 2) my husband refused to admit that he forgot the maps and my route that I had carefully plotted at home, 3) because my husband refused to ask for directions, and never stopped the car long enough to listen to me, and 4) because he also refused to stay the night in Hancock, Blue Ball, or Intercourse for obvious reasons. Go figure.
By the time we checked in, it was late. Our Volkswagen Rabbit was dwarfed by the behemoths in the parking lot. I fell into bed exhausted; the room was spinning when I closed my eyes.
I was on the verge of sleep, when another truck pulled in, its bright headlights flashed shadows on our walls; its brakes hissed like a punctured tire.
Several minutes later, our next door neighbor(s?) arrived with doors slamming, water running, and toilet flushing.
Geez, I thought, I hope whoever it is, is tired, and again, I tried to woo Morpheus. My husband, who was already snoring, had never moved. For a moment, all was quiet and I was relieved.
But then, the silence was broken by a gruff male voice.
"Did you remember to bring my cock ring, bitch?"
"I'm sorry, Daddy. I forgot."
"You know what Daddy does when you forget, don't you?"
"Ohh yes, Daddy. I know what you do. Please, I have been such a bad girl. Please discipline me! I did remember to bring your paddle!"
My eyes snapped open. What the hell? Was this some kind of porn this guy or gal was watching? The voice was rather high pitched, wavering, and female. I couldn't tell whether it was a scared young girl or a woman. However, the more I listened, the more I realized that it was not the TV.
"Strip, bitch."
"Yes, Daddy."
"Face me and do it slowly."
"Yes, Daddy. Like this?"
"Yes. Now grab your tits and squeeze your nipples."
"Yes, Daddy. Like this?"
"Harder, squeeze harder."
"Yes...Daddy. Oh yes, Daddy."
"Take off your panties. You better be wet."
"Yes, Daddy. I know how you like me to be wet."
"Bend over the bed!" the male voice stated gruffly.
"Yes, Daddy. Please hit me. Hit me hard."
"Of course."
As 'Daddy' applied the paddle, there was more pleading from the woman.
"Oh please, yes! Harder. I promise I will be better next time. Oh God, yes!"
I elbowed my husband's ribs. "Wake up, George," I whispered.
