I met the sweetest guy on a social media site, handsome, sweet. We had been talking for several months before I agreed to meet him. He sent me round trip plane tickets and since I was single and had no ties on me I agreed to fly out to his home state. The holidays were lonely for me with no family and the idea of spending a week in a cozy cabin in the mountains during the winter was very appealing. There would be lots of snow, I imagined making love in front of a warm fireplace, drinking hot chocolate and just being able to get away from the drudgery of my daily life.
I was nervous as I bordered the plane but the memory of the pictures he had sent me of his snow-bound cabin and the thought of being with him all alone in the middle of nowhere motivated me to take the chance. When the plane landed I saw him waiting for me after I had collected my luggage. The same sweet smile was on his face as he rushed up to meet me. He looked into my eyes as his lips slowly lowered to meet mine. The kiss sent an electrical shiver down my spine as he hugged me briefly and picked up my bags.
I was excited as we got into his four-wheel drive truck and headed out of the city. I love the mountains and forests covered with snow. The whole beautiful panorama would be mine to enjoy for the several weeks I planned to stay with him. It took over two hours of driving on treacherous roads before I saw a well built large cabin come into view. It was beautiful standing in a forest of pine trees covered with snow. We parked, and he unlocked the door, so I could go inside out of the cold. He carried in firewood as I looked around at the interior, checking out all the rooms except the one that was locked. I supposed it was some type of storage area and thought nothing more of it.
He soon had a fire going and we were lying on a fluffy fur rug in front of the fireplace. Wine and appetizers on a tray sat between us. As I laid on the fur throw feeling cozy and warm, drinking the wine, and enjoying the succulent appetizers he had pushed closer to me. I was surprised that I felt so sleepy, I guess I was exhausted from my trip as I laid beside him and yawned. He curled his body around me as I drifted off to sleep warm and cozy.
I needed to wake up. Something was very wrong with me. My head felt heavy and my senses dulled. The more I struggled the more something tightened around my throat. I lay still trying to figure out what way wrong. My eyes were covered, a gag in my mouth. I couldn't see where I was. I felt the hard edge of the table I was lying on beneath my upper back, my head hanging off the edge. Each ankle was tied high, my legs spread wide. Each wrist was tied to the table legs, the rope looped about my neck. I was completely naked. Oh God, what had I gotten myself into?
I heard footsteps entering the room, I tried to scream but it came out in a muffled gurgle of sound. The blindfold was gently removed. No, it couldn't be! This was crazy! One stood in a Santa suit, the others dressed as elves! What the Hell was going on? I couldn't tell if they were female or male. Santa's face was covered in a white beard, the other's faces covered with green paint. There costumes were the same as I had seen In Christmas animated shows I had watched as a child. Was this for real?
