Alicia stared blankly out the window as the scenery rolled past. The lights looked so inviting through the thick haze of pot smoke in the car. The sounds were all jumbled together in an incoherent lump. The two people in the front seat, Kevin and Jeff, paid little attention to her while the one sitting next to her, Craig, groped her. The three had put her through so much in the past few weeks that his hands roaming her body didn't even seem to register a response from her. She was locked away in her own little world.
Alicia got into this situation when she ended up talking to Craig at the bar. He was such a smooth talker. He had her convinced he wasn't like the other guys she had met. It only took him a matter of minutes to have her right where he wanted her. His words ate away at her defenses like acid on fine silk. Once she walked out the door with him life was never the same for her again.
When they left he took her to the house he shared with the others. The two of them made their way to his room and it wasn't long until she was naked and tied to the bed with a heavy black blindfold over her eyes. She had no idea what was in store for her that night. Craig seemed like a nice enough guy that he could be trusted. Unfortunately, that was not the case. In her drunken daze, Alicia was used by all three of them. Her trust was broken completely by this but not his hold over her.
Craig continued to say all of the right things to keep her like a marionette, dancing for him while he pulled all the strings. It didn't take long for him to convince her that this was the way to make him happiest. She was now property of the three of them. He convinced her to stay at the house with them, just as a precurser to making her move in to serve them to serve their needs around the clock.
The car finally rolled to a stop in front of the apartment complex. Alicia didn't say a word as she climbed out of the car, following the three of them. She stared at the ground in front of her as they approached the main entry to the building. The others were talking amongst themselves but she didn't comprehend what they were saying. Her mind was elsewhere once again. They were buzzed in and walked up the winding set of stairs to the apartment. The music could be heard in the hall over the mingling of voices from inside.
Lee opened the door and smiled at them as they entered. He was a short, husky man with a receding hair line and foul breath. Alicia didn't make eye contact with anyone. She knew what was going to happen but didn't have to like it. Inside there were several men sitting around the large glass coffee table. The scent of alcohol and pot smoke filled the air. She made her way to a spot out of the way of the others. Kevin sat down next to her, offering her a drink. She quickly accepted and began to sip the concoction. Something needed to numb her more and prepare her for the festivities.
The entire group of men seemed to be watching her, especially Carlos. He was practically salivating as he stared at her body. She kept her head hung low as she downed a bit more of her drink. Alicia wanted to leave, to run away and never see any of them again. She stole a quick glance at Craig who was talking to Lee in the corner about something. Her heart dropped. He was the one she wanted to be with more than anything, but was also the one who coerced her into this. All it took were the pretty lies and she was hooked. To be his girl, she had to be his completely and give him whatever he wanted. When she agreed to it, she had no idea just what he was going to put her through.
Craig approached her and extended his hand. She took it quickly in hopes of some salvation. He led her to the kitchen without a word. There on the counter was a large mirror with several fat lines of cocaine on it. He handed her the straw and smiled. She had never been into the whole drug scene before and now it was quickly becoming a way of life. Alicia sat her drink down on the table before she did a couple of lines. She handed him the straw back before taking a big gulp of her drink. It was the only way she could get rid of the horrible tasting drainage.
