(Thanks for all the comments, good and bad. I hope I've addressed many of them below. This is part two for those interested... some of suggestions have been implemented and others will be in the near future. Thanks again!!!)
I watched Kohamba get half dressed before I entered through the patio door. He looked at me, sweat glistening on his chest.
“She is quite a woman.”
He picked up his shirt as I neared.
“Yes, she is.”
“She will be ready at noon tomorrow?”
I swallowed hard.
“That was our agreement.”
“We should meet him at the building sight. If she goes to his village, I am not sure what he will do.”
I nodded my head. He went to the bar and poured himself a fresh drink.
“You will want to watch?”
I nodded.
“Then you will have to be there before Kio arrives. I suggest the second floor of building A. He will want to take her on the patio so his workers can see.”
I was surprised at this last piece of information.
“And why is that?”
“It is part of the agreement. When his men see him with the gift of a beautiful white woman, it will prove his worth as the Chief.”
I nodded.
“Now I must go and make everything ready. We would not want her used on the hard concrete deck.”
He smiled before draining his drink. Placing the gaudy cap on, he shook my hand before moving to and out the door. I waited until I heard him start his jeep and leave before I went to our bedroom. Tina’s dress lay on the bed, her sandals on the floor beneath it. I could hear the shower running and moved to the closed door. Tapping lightly and not hearing any response, I went in. Even through the heavy steam, I could make out her outline behind the glass shower doors. Watching as she scrubbed her body hard, I noticed she was tentative with her breasts. After several minutes, the water shut off.
The door slid open and she reached for a towel that hung near by. Her wet hair clung to her head and neck. Her freshly scrubbed face literally glowed. Her large breasts were still marked, but the shower seemed to have eased any lasting reminders that might have occurred. The oval bruise on the inside of her thigh would be there for weeks. She took the heavy towel and began patting her face dry. When she finished and opened her eyes, she rushed into my arms. Wrapping her still damp arms around my neck, her body shook as she sobbed into my chest.
“Oh gawd David. J-Just hold me. Hold me please.”
She clung to me.
“I… I… Tell me you love me David.”
I slipped my arms around her shaking shoulders and drew her tighter to me.
“What happened Tina?”
“I – I just wanted to help David…”
I began stroking her hair then, hoping she didn’t notice that I was shaking to.
“Help how Tina?”
She tipped her face to look up at me. The tears were very real.
“I knew we didn’t have the money he wanted. I know you’ve been holding off the banks because the project is running late. So when you left the room, I - I…”
I kissed her then, gently brushing my lips over hers.
“You what Baby?”
“I made a deal to buy us some time. Oh David… I wanted to talk to you about it… Then you left so quickly… David I didn’t have any choice.”
I could feel my erection growing as I replayed the lurid little scene through my mind. It was the first time in years I was able to regain it this quickly with out some kind of help.
“After you left, he started to put his hands on me. I tried to stop him, but he said if I didn’t do what he wanted we’d be late with the condominiums.”
My throat tightened and I couldn’t find my voice to ask.
“He made me undress…. And touch myself as he watched. Then… Then he grabbed me and forced me onto the couch… Oh David… He - he raped me…”
I squeezed her tightly.
“Are you hurt? I mean besides … Did he abuse you?”
She buried her head against my chest again.
”J-just my breasts… and he bit me…”
I was trembling now. I never wanted her this badly before.
“I’m sorry Tina.”
