I just got back to my spot near the CVS drugstore after sucking off my first customer of the evening in the alley across the street. I'd earned $40, twelve of which was mine and twenty eight went to Deshawn 'Knife' Martin, my pimp. When I swallowed the john's cum and kissed the head of his cock and gently put it back into his pants, he tipped me an extra $2. Big fucking deal!
After doing a quick line of coke, I stood on the curb in my tiny vinyl skirt and tube top, sucking on an Altoid, a Honda Goldwing pulled to the curb. The rider dropped the kickstand, hooked his helmet on the handlebar and took a long look at me. I knew he wasn't going to be a customer -- he looked too damned good. He was about six feet tall and he had huge shoulders and his biceps stretched his tee shirt. He was so damned handsome that I wished that he would whisk me away on the back of his bike.
He had taken a few steps toward the CVS when he stopped and turned catching me starring at his perfect ass, "Wanna Pepsi or a bottle of water or something?"
I was momentarily shocked because nobody talks to a skinny black whore unless they're negotiating the price of a blow job or a fuck. "Uh, well sure," I said. "Maybe a Pepsi?" He smiled, nodded his head and continued to the store. I looked down at my tiny white tube top on my caramel-colored skin and my vinyl skirt that just barely covered my pussy. As I looked back up, I saw 'The Knife' crossing the street towards me. "Oh fuck," I thought, "what did I do now?" Then it dawned on me that the Goldwing was right in front of me which meant that a customer couldn't pull to the curb to negotiate a fuck.
I saw him checking out the bike as he approached. He said, "Hey cunt, what da fuck you doin just standin there behind that bike? Get your nigga ass back to work bitch."
He walked around the bike and grabbed my arm to shove me down the street, when I heard a voice behind me, "I got you a Pepsi because you look like you could use the sugar." The Knife stopped tugging on me and we both turned to look at the big stranger. "Here," he said as he held it out to me.
The Knife quickly smacked it from his hand and growled, "You don't give my whore nothin without checkin with me motherfucker. Now, if you wanna fuck dis bitch then you need to give me$75."
The stranger smiled at Knife and quietly said, "Pick up the drink and hand it to the girl."
"What?" Knife said.
"I said 'pick it up.'"
As Knife started to respond, I saw him pull one of his knives from his sleeve and start to turn while saying, "Who the fuck you think you...?"
It happened so fast that I don't have any idea how he did it. One of the man's hands grabbed Knife's hand and the other was behind his elbow. The elbow broke ninety degrees the other way and the blade was embedded in Knife's leg. Then, the stranger's boot hit the side of his head and Knife was out cold.
He smiled at me, bent over and picked up the Pepi and handed it to me. Then he reached into Knife's pocket and pulled out a wad of bills and a few singles and handed them to me. At that point it dawned on me that Knife would kill me when he woke up.
The stranger smiled at me and said, "Come with me." He took my hand and pulled me to his bike. As I stood there numbly looking at him and then back at Knife writhing on the sidewalk as he pulled the knife from his leg, he put a helmet on my head and then lifted me on to the back of his bike. My skirt was around my waist, but I was out of it. Between the coke and what had just happened, my brain wasn't functioning. We rode several miles and then pulled into the back of a Walmart parking lot next to a bus.
He helped me off the bike and then opened the door to the bus and motioned for me to enter. I was too numb to be scared at this point. I figured my life was over. I climbed the steps and was stunned. The inside of the bus was made in to a home. There was a small kitchen and eating area. I saw a flat screen TV on one wall and a small couch and chair. Then I saw a hallway going towards the back of the bus. He led me to the hallway and showed me the bathroom and offered me its use.
"Holy shit," I thought, "what in the hell is going on here?" I cleaned up as best I could and came back to his seating area. "M-mister, I d-don't know who you are, but Knife is gonna kill both of us now."
He handed me a glass of water and smiled calmly at me. "What's your name?"
"Raven," I said.
"How old are you?"
"I j-just t-turned 19."
He nodded his head, looked down the length of my scantily clad body and then back up again, and said, "Do you like being a prostitute?"
I looked at him without saying anything for a few seconds and then my lip began to quiver. Tears came to my eyes and I sniffed, "N-no, I don't, but I... I don't know how to do anything else. When... When I came here almost a year ago, I looked for a job, but no one would hire me because I don't have any skills. It only took The Knife one week to find me and put me to work for him. So... so to answer your question -- No, I don't like being a prostitute."
He sat nodding his head. I said, "Can I ask you a question mister?" He nodded his head. "Are you gonna hurt me?" He smiled and shook his head no. "Who are you mister? And do you live in this thing or are you just camping?"
"My name is Steve, and yes I do live in this thing. I'm 24 years old. Now it's my turn. Do you have family or friends around where I can take you?"
