I was about to be raped again, and I couldn't help but smile.
I don't mean that as a metaphor. I don't mean, "Although being raped is a terrible thing, I've somehow managed to find the funny side after so many times." I mean, I literally couldn't help but smile. I watched him walk in, a chubby guy with thinning brown hair and watery eyes (but a nice suit. The way it was tailored, it hid most of his weight problem and probably set him back a cool grand or so. He had money to throw away on lots of things, not just hookers.) And I smiled. The sexiest smile you could imagine, the smile of a girl who wasn't just into "pay for play", but who wanted him, wanted to see that suit hit the floor and fuck him until he passed out. I rolled my shoulders, letting my breasts jut out just a little, showing off my hard, aroused nipples through the thin purple lingerie. I said, "Hello," in a soft, breathy, kittenish voice. "I'm Sahara. It's nice to meet you."
And inside, like always, I was screaming,
Fuck off! Fuck off and leave me alone, please, I am fucking begging you, just please, they've done something to my mind, I'm not even named Sahara, because nobody's ever named fucking 'Sahara'! I'm Gladys, Gladys Torgeson, and I'm not a fucking hooker!
None of it reached my lips. My muscles didn't even move a twitch out of place from their calculated seduction, any more than they ever did. I'd lost count of how many times I tried to stop myself from having sex with another stranger, how many times I tried to scratch 'HELP' into their backs or blink out 'call the police' in Morse code or take control of my tongue just long enough to say, "save me," but it never worked. Not any of it. I was a prisoner inside my own head, and nobody would ever know.
He looked at me. "It's nice to meet you, too," he said. That's what I heard with my ears. With my mind, I heard,
So if you're not a hooker, Gladys, what are you doing in a brothel?
I shifted position, just enough that he could see the outline of my pussy in my oh-so-slightly damp panties. "Why don't you come over here and have a seat?" I asked.
...the fuck? You--you can hear me?
"Bed's big enough for two."
"Don't mind if I do." He sat down on the bed, close enough that he could probably feel the heat of my body through his clothes.
Of course I can hear you. It's like a fucking icepick in my brain.
I loosened his tie.
Then fucking help me!
I thought, giving him a long, soulful kiss.
Jesus fuck, don't just let me sit there and french you, do something about this!
Two problems with that,
he thought, responding to the kiss while running his fingers up and down my back,
One, it's not easy. They must have a skilled telepath on staff here, maybe more than one, if they did this to you.
His tongue dueled with mine, and as I ran my hands over his clothed body I could feel his cock stiffening inside his suit.
Which means that helping you involves a potential fight.
What do you mean?
I broke the kiss. "God, you're sexy."
You're really not. You could stand to hit the gym, lose about thirty pounds. And stop trying the fucking comb-over, it's not working.
"Why don't you let me help you get some of those clothes off, and we can get to know each other better?"
He shrugged off the jacket, and slid it off the bed to the side.
I know. Hazards of too much good living. I like my creature comforts too much to really sweat off the pounds.
"Sounds good to me," he said.
And let me ask you a question: Do you know how much I paid to be with you tonight?
I undid his buttons, one by one, with my right hand while my left hand massaged his ever-more-exposed chest.
No clue. It's not like they share the take with me, or anything. I never leave this fucking room. I eat a healthy diet to keep my body looking sexy, I exercise, I fuck, I sleep. When I'm not doing that, I stare at the ceiling, blinking.
"You've got a great body, baby. Do you work out?"
I think we've already answered that one. Sorry, I'm on a script.
I realized what I'd just thought.
Why the fuck am I apologizing to you? You're fucking raping me!
He sighed softly as my hands ran over his nipples.
Yes, and I paid a thousand dollars for the privilege of doing so. You're a thousand dollar-an-hour whore, Gladys. Well, you're not, but 'Sahara' is.
I finished undoing the buttons, and he slid the shirt off.
You're probably costing them about twenty dollars a day to keep, and you're making them maybe ten grand a night, maybe more. If I try to take you out of here, they'll try to stop me. And I don't know how powerful they are. That's not a situation I'm looking to get into.
