Chapter 6: Free seat
*From the Ruler's blog, entry 81*
I still feel bad about how the whole Event thing went. So I will try to do good by you girls, I will hear you out. I do understand the feedback that giving away every girl's anal virginity was too much. If I could go back in time, I would have picked something else for the anniversary celebration. And yes, I did try to turn back time, it didn't work. I still have no idea what limits this thing has.
However, the newly formed Ruler Institute of Statistics is telling me that 90% of women under 50 have already been taken. So it wouldn't really be fair to them to erase the rule right?

"No. I have already told you, you won't go" Julie said to her daughter Eve as they entered the bus. They had just spent a nice afternoon shopping, doing some chores. A nice mother-daughter bonding experience. But now Julie started to suspect that her daughter had joined her just to have her in a good mood before she could ask for permission again.
"Mooom come on.... Please... I missed each of my friend's parties this year. Before it was because I was a minor. Now it is because I am over 18 and you say somebody will make me their slut" Eve had been repeating this argument, among several others, for two weeks now. "Lily is my BFF and she is the last one of the group to be 18. Just let me go for once"
"Language! You may be an adult now, but you still live under my roof. You know as well as I do why you aren't going anywhere unsupervised. You have seen what happened to your cousin. To those old classmates of yours. You were the one that told me about your history teacher" Julie felt a chill just remembering those examples. Her niece was currently pregnant, with a dozen potential fathers. Eve's classmates, a pair of twins, had been forced to participate in several threesomes together. Rumor was it that after so many times, they were now into it for real. And the history teacher, a loving wife and mother of two young kids, had disappeared for a month. She had eventually been found as the sex slave of one of her old students, who was pawning her off to his friends. When asked, she had testified that her student promised her anal sex only after six months of sexual enslavement.
"I told you there will only be girls there. We will be careful" Her daughter replied. Julie didn't believe her. She had told similar lies to her own mother at that age, and those lies had resulted in her getting pregnant with Eve at 19. They reached the back of the bus. All the seats were taken. Then, Julie made eye contact with the guy who was sitting on the last row. He looked homeless. His clothes were old, his beard and hair a mess. A big bag was taking the seat next to him. Julie could smell him from where she stood. Then, she realized her mistake. Stupid, stupid, stupid. She had been focused on her daughter that she had forgotten. She could only hope that this guy didn't...
"Laaaady, you can take this seat here!" The man said, patting his lap. Fuck, Julie thought. They didn't usually take the bus, and the rule was a couple of months old. So she didn't think to avoid looking for free seats. Still, the words came to her head: "A man's lap is as good as a free seat on the bus! Just offer it to them if they are searching for a spot". And in part of her mind, the part that made her move, there was suddenly no reason to not sit on this reeking man's lap.
"Please, sir... I am with my daughter" Julie said to the man as she approached him. It was a long shot, she knew. He just laughed and patted his lap again. So Julie sat on his lap. His stench was worse from there. 20 minutes. She couldn't leave until the bus reached her spot. 20 minutes on this guy.
"Get off her y-" Eve said. But before she could finish her sentence, Julie cut her off.
"AS I WAS SAYING, it's still dangerous. You can't go" She looked intensely at her daughter. *Don't fight this guy or you will be next*. She hoped that her daughter understood the message. There was no winning here, only losing. Sitting on this guy wasn't that big of a humiliation that she couldn't endure. She would rather her daughter not risk it. Eve threw a killer stare at the man behind Julie. Then her eyes grew wide and she quickly put her head down, staring at the floor. Julie guessed that the man must have been looking at her daughter's chest. Another one of the Ruler's most annoying rules. If her daughter caught him doing so five times, she would have to reveal her breasts to him. So eyes on the ground were the basic tactic against it.
An awkward silence followed. Julie felt the pressure of the man's penis starting to harden. His hands had moved inside her blouse, and they were softly caressing her breasts through her bra. Julie just remained there, with no way out. Across the bus, some people had noticed what was going on. Some looked angry at the man, others pitied her. None did anything.
"Oh don't worry about me, you can continue your conversation. Sounds fascinating" The creep said, as he took a deep smell on Julie's neck.
"Mom, you owe me." Eve finally resigned herself that this conversation needed to be done now. Lily's party would be in a few hours, the window to get permission was closing. Julie wished that this wouldn't be done while she was being fondled by a random guy, but 'carry on as if nothing was happening' had become the mantra followed by most people. It was the best course of action. "You and Dad already ruined my birthday. You know I wanted to spend it with Nick"
Turning 18 in the Ruler's world wasn't easy. While minors are thankfully excluded from all rules of a sexual nature, as soon as the clock strikes midnight on the girl's birthday, all the sexual rules apply at once. Julie and her husband had made the difficult choice of following the advice recommended by the school of offering her daughter's anal virginity to a trusted male. They had chosen Jonathan, the son of one of her friends. Good kid, 24 years old, in law school. They knew that he would limit himself to doing the deed.
So as soon as the 17th of July came, Jonathan, who was hiding in their room, immediately asked for Eve's anal virginity. Julie hated herself for it. The memory of the screams of pleasure her daughter made in her room still kept her up at night. Still, she didn't regret her decision. It was like a vaccine. Painful, but risking her daughter going around with her anal virginity intact was dangerous. The fact that her daughter had spent the following day receiving dozens of texts from unknown numbers trying to rope her into sleeping with them was frightening, but vindicating.
"Jonathan did what he was asked. God knows what this Nick of yours would have done with you". The man's hands had removed her bra, and now he was playing with her nipples. He was being rough. When he pinched one of them, a small moan escaped Julie's mouth.
"Nick... told me he loved me..." Eve got sad. Nick had been the boy she had been fooling around in the weeks before her birthday. After he learned that Eve had been taken, he ghosted her. Julie suspected that he had moved on to some other almost 18-year-old.
