"Kelly, I think we have a problem," Angela announced.
"Really?" asked Kelly. "Do you mean apart from being stuck in this lousy little cabin until the snow melts enough to let us drive out or the local authorities get off their collective blots and plough the roads clear?"
"Um, Yes."
"Oh," continued Kelly. "Do you mean apart from being in a dead area so we can't even telephone parents or boyfriends to let them know why we won't be home on time?"
Angela nodded unhappily.
"Do you also mean apart from our having no company apart from those two Neanderthals in army uniform in the third cabin?"
"They are part of our new problem," Angela told her.
"And our new problem is?" asked Kelly cautiously.
"They're going to rape us," stated Angela.
"They're going to what?"
"Rape us. As in gate-crash the party, take all the goodies without asking the hostess and then run away without thanking her."
"I do have a pretty fair notion of what rape is," snapped Kelly. "What makes you think they'd do something like that?"
"I heard them talking about it. They're out on a survival course. It's sheer chance they came across the cabins and decided to spend a night here. They figure they can have their fun and then head out into the wilds again. We don't know who they are, after all."
"Maybe not," said Kelly, "but do they seriously think we couldn't identify that gorilla if we saw him again? He is rather conspicuous."
"The gorilla mentioned that, but the other guy pointed out that we probably wouldn't even report it. Especially if they don't actually hurt us in any way."
"And raping us won't hurt us?" snorted Kelly.
"Well, men look at it differently. They think they're doing us a favour by giving us their attentions. Anyway, they were saying they might as well chance it. It'll be our word against theirs if we did report it."
Kelly groaned. "They're right. And if we kicked up a big stink, mud would stick to us. They'd probably say it was consensual and we kicked up a stink because they didn't pay us or something.
So what the hell can we do? We're stranded here. There's no way out for at least another couple of days unless the snowplough comes through."
Angela sighed. "I don't know. I was hoping you might think of something. Maybe if we appealed to their better side?"
"If they had a better side, they wouldn't be planning to rape a couple of sweet young ladies, now would they?" scoffed Kelly.
The two young women considered the situation, thinking desperately. Eventually Kelly shook her head, and sighed.
"There's only one thing I can think of, and I don't want to do it," she groaned.
"That's one more thing than I can think of," said Angela. "What's your solution."
"Agree to have sex with them when they come round. They'll at least try to do things in a civilised manner before blatantly jumping us. If we agree, we still get screwed, but we don't get forcibly raped and possibly injured."
"Agree?" squealed Angela. "Are you out of your mind?"
"Well, what do you suggest?" returned Kelly. "If we say yes, we get bonked, but if we say no, we get bonked anyway. At least by saying yes, we'll have some control over what's happening."
"Well, it'll probably be easier for you to say yes than me," groused Angela. "The cute one has targeted you. The gorilla said he wanted me.
It's not funny," she added, when Kelly giggled. "Have you seen the size of that monster?"
"I'd have thought that the gorilla would have gone for me," said Kelly, still giggling. "I mean, you're so tiny and he's a damn monster."
"Maybe he has this thing for pixies," Angela said with a sigh. "Probably thinks he's going to play Peter Pan to my Tinkerbell."
"So what are we going to do?" asked Kelly. "Consent or try and fight? Better decide now because the gorilla just came out of their cabin and is heading this way."
Angela swore. "We don't have much choice. We might as well consent. As you said, yes or no, we're still fucked."
It was only moments later that there was a knock on the door. Kelly answered to see the gorilla standing there. He nodded his head politely.
"Good afternoon, ma'am," she said. "I'm Pete. The Captain said that seeing we were all stuck here for the duration, we should get acquainted, so I'm here to invite you to our place for dinner tonight. The Captain, he's a trained chef, and he said that he'll be doing the cooking.
Um, he was quite taken with you, ma'am, and said that maybe you'd like to help him prepare the meal. He said maybe he can let you in on a few professional cooking secrets."
Kelly glanced around at Angela, who shrugged. Common politeness dictated that they accept the offer, however Kelly was reluctant to go to the other cabin by herself.
"Uh, sure, why not?" she said. "Coming, Angela?"
"Excuse me," put in Pete. "The Captain is kind of set in his ways when he's in the kitchen. If an extra turned up he'd get upset and that could spoil the meal. Why don't I stay here and chat with, Angela, did you say, while you wander over and see how the Captain does things."
"Check and mate," thought Kelly. "I'm stuck with the Captain while the gorilla is here with Angela. Perfect for them."
She threw another look at Angela, receiving another resigned shrug. If the men had started the ball rolling there was nothing they could do but play it out and see what happened.
Saying "OK, I'll see you shortly," Kelly stepped out of the cabin, passing Pete who stepped in, closing the door behind him.
Rather than head straight over to the other cabin, Kelly edged over to the window. The curtains were slightly apart, letting her see part of the cabin. She could see Angela standing next to the bed. She heard Pete start to talk and realised that the window was slightly open, letting sound escape.
"Ma'am", said Pete politely, "may I call you Angela?"
Kelly say Angela nod and then heard Pete continue.
"Angela, I find you mightily attractive, and please don't take this the wrong way, but as we have some spare time I'd appreciate it if you'd let me join you on that bed for some mutual entertainment."
"What happens if I say no," asked Angela, a little nervous catch in her voice.
"That would truly be a disappointment to me, Angela," replied Pete, "but that would be your privilege, of course. I think things will work out anyway."
Kelly could see Angela swallow, fully understanding the implications behind those last few words. Reluctantly she nodded.
Now Pete moved into Kelly's view, crossing to stand next to Angela.
"Why don't you take my shirt off, Angela," suggested Pete.
While Kelly watched, enthralled, Angela slowly undid and helped Pete out of his shirt. No sooner was that completed that Pete was reaching over, pulling Angela's t-shirt loose from her waistband and lifting it up and off.
"Trousers," said Pete, and blushing Angela undid his belt and pulled down his trousers, Pete toeing off his shoes to assist in their removal.
Pete's turn again, and he undid the cord of Angela's tracksuit pants and pulled them down and off. He stood and admired Angela's trim little figure, shown off nicely in the matching pink lace panties and bra.
"You wretch," thought Kelly, watching. "That's my good set. And when did you find time to raid my bag and change into them? You weren't wearing them this morning. What's worse, they seem to fit you better than me."
"Singlet" said Pete, and dutifully Angela helped him out of it.
A swirling finger had her turning around, with Pete unclipping the bra and pushing it off her shoulders. Angela let her arms drop and the bra fell away.
Kelly watched as Angela turned back to face Pete, her pale breasts on display. Pete's two big hands came up to cup them, gently squeezing.
"Underpants". The word came floating on the breeze, and Kelly saw Angela swallow and then kneel in front of Pete. He hands took his boxers and drew them down, having to stretch them slightly to disengage his erection. Then the boxers were at Pete's feet and he was stepping out of them.
