Warning: starts with an attempted rape.
"Help! Mmpphf!"
Ben heard the cries for help as he jogged through a little-used part of the park. Rounding a bend, he saw two men assaulting a young woman. She was on the ground, with one man pulling her arms behind her head to hold her still. Her jeans had been pulled down by the second man who had dropped his own pants, and was getting ready to rape her. Her struggles were ineffectual against the two men, besides she looked pretty scrawny.
Without pausing to think Ben ran up to the man holding her hands, whose back was to him, and landed a swift powerful kick between his legs. With a screech he let go of her, dropping to the ground clutching his balls. The other man turned towards him, but was hampered by his pants around his ankles. Before he could react Ben had knocked him backwards with the palm of his hand, to land heavily on the ground. Before he could recover Ben dropped on top of him and kneed him hard in the balls.
Both men were now moaning on the ground, clutching themselves.
Ignoring them for a moment, Ben asked the girl, "Were these guys trying to rape you? Or was this some sort of game?"
With a look of horror she replied, "No game! I was taking a walk when they jumped me! I've never seen them before. Bastards!"
"Right, I'll fix them." Ben reached down to the nearest man, put strong hands around his throat and started throttling him.
Her eyes widened. "Stop! What they did was horrible but they don't deserve to die. Please."
"If you insist." Ben grabbed the man by the hair, smashed his fist into his nose, hearing it break. "If I ever see you again, I'll kill you, do you understand? Do you?" The man nodded weakly, grimacing in pain as blood ran down from his nose. Ben rammed his knee into the man's balls again.
The second would-be rapist got the same treatment. "Now, fuck off," Ben ordered them. They shambled away whimpering, clutching their faces and balls at the same time.
Ben turned to the girl, who had by this time pulled her jeans back up, and was looking at him with scared eyes. Would her rescuer try to rape her now they were alone? He certainly looked strong enough to manage it single-handed. But Ben smiled at her. "Come on, I'll walk you home. It's hardly safe out here for you today."
She nodded, smiled faintly. "Thanks. This way."
As they walked, Ben glanced at her. She seemed pretty in a fairly skinny way. He guessed she was in her early twenties. She had thin arms and legs, and not much in the way of tits. Oh well, he thought, everyone comes in a different size package, as he well knew.
They reached her apartment block. "I have an apartment upstairs," she said, "want to come up for a thank-you coffee?"
Ben looked doubtful. "Are you sure? You don't even know me."
"You could have had me in the park there, if you wanted to, so I may as well trust you. Come on up."
"OK then." They went inside.
In the apartment she offered him a chair, put the coffee on, and disappeared for a couple of minutes to clean up. Her clothes had been dirty and dishevelled from being thrown to the ground. She reappeared in fresh clothes, looking lovely, Ben thought.
She poured the coffee. "I'm Phoebe, thanks for what you did back there. I'll walk with a friend next time."
"I'm Ben. No problem, Phoebe. I don't like muggers and rapists. I did some martial arts training in the past."
They sipped in silence.
"I better go, you've had a rough day." Ben said, after a few minutes. He stood up, moved towards the door.
"You're a funny guy. You stand up for a strange girl, and then don't even try to make a pass at her."
He shrugged. "I'm not gay, if that's what you are hinting. This is hardly the time. Another time, maybe."
She raised an eyebrow. "I'd like that. Maybe see you again? Thanks once more for saving me."
Ben left.

A couple of weeks had passed. Phoebe was feeling despondent. Her rescuer hadn't contacted her. She thought maybe there had been a spark there. Oh well, she thought, it had been nice for a few minutes. Maybe he liked bigger girls. Ones with larger breasts. Most men did.
That evening the intercom buzzer rang.
"Yeah?" she said into the speaker.
"Ben here," said the tinny voice. She buzzed him in, feeling suddenly hopeful.
"Come in," she invited, once he was at the door. She had just had time to throw on a smarter looking top.
"Thanks!" Ben came in and leaned down to give her a quick kiss on the cheek. "Just to prove I'm not gay," he smiled wickedly.
"
That's
hardly proof," she responded, grinning mischievously. "Take a seat. Want a beer?"
He nodded.
She got one for each of them. "I thought I wouldn't hear from you again. I don't usually invite men up here alone unless I know them well, but somehow I feel safe with you. Is that strange?"
"No, it's sensible. As for me, I'm only interested if the girl is willing." He glanced for a moment at her tits.
She frowned, looking pained.
"Oh, sorry," Ben apologised. "Can't help myself. I just like looking at them. It's a bit immature I know."
Phoebe's eyes moistened. "Perhaps you better go."
"What? I won't do it again, I promise."
"It's not that. I don't mind you looking. It's just that ..."
"What is it, then?"
She reddened. "I'll be straight with you. I owe you that much. I've had a few boyfriends. But once I take off my top they usually laugh and make rude remarks. And then leave. A couple of them fucked me, and
then
laughed and made rude remarks afterwards. That hurt, a lot."
"But why? From what I've seen your tits are OK. I've seen larger, but so what?"
"Er," she went a deeper red. "I have implants in my bra. There isn't much of the real me. I'm 21 years old, I'm not going to get any larger."
"So?"
"The first thing men do is stare at my tits, like they do to most women. That's the
one
part of me that is fake, that's what is infuriating. My face is real, my brain is real, my sense of humour is real. But my tits are fake, and I lose guys' interest before they find the real me." She started to cry quietly.
