As I sit here in the middle of my bed, my satin comforter drawn up around me, my body begins to quiet its trembling. I'm not sure how long I have been here like this. My legs are cramping up, and a nice stretch feels so good. The wet spots on the bedspread cling to my skin, chilling me. I think about peeling away the sheet and bury my face in my hands, sobbing. All my fear flowing outward, away from me, freeing me at last to think about what's happened in here tonight.
As I step under the rain of warm water in my shower, allowing it to return the heat to my body, I recount in my head what went on tonight. I want to retell it the way it happened, to me......how I felt, what I did, and what my future plans are. I reach for my body sponge, unhooking it from the shower wall, and squirting a generous amount of body wash into it, soaping it up, just as I always do. I don't feel the need to scrub any harder, or longer, than I normally would.
I find this curious. Is there something wrong with me? This isn't how I have heard it told. I have always heard that rape victims cry and shower over and over, trying to wash away the experience. I do feel stunned. My life has just taken a sharp left turn without my consent. I know that no extra exfoliation is going to help me. No harsh scrubbing or douching will erase any of what's happened to me tonight. But I think perhaps relating the tale may make me feel more.....solid, whole, again.
It began as a quiet evening. It had been a wonderful, fun-filled weekend with friends. I met a man that could hold a decent conversation, has a good job, and didn't try to get into my panties on first meeting. This is unusual for me. At least in the end, most men find a way to suggest sex, but not this guy. He was intelligent, polite, well mannered, yet masculine. He wasn't ultra good looking, but that is not on my agenda anyway. I had planned on seeing him again, with the blessings of my friends, but that was not to be.
Tonight, when I kicked back on my couch to watch my favorite crime show, I was surprised to hear a knock at my door. My neighborhood is generally safe, so I took a quick peek through the small glass panes in the thick wooden door before opening it. At first I didn't recognize the man standing there. Then, as he smiled, I remembered who he was. He had moved in a few houses down not long ago. His face was honest and friendly, like a big boyscout. He was about my age, perhaps a little older, and quite an average looking man. He held up a nice little gift bag and of course, I swung the door open to greet him.
"Hi! I'm sorry to bother you ......" He smiled a bit sheepishly, though the hour wasn't too late for visitors.
"No problem. What can I do for you, Mr....?" I smiled warmly, inquiring his name and waving off his apology.
"Just call me Oliver." He grinned, disarming me at once. What a nice face and sparkling eyes. "Listen, my phone service isn't hooked up yet and my cellphone died. I can't seem to find the charger in my stuff. Do you think I could , please, use your phone? Just this once?"
I invited him in, assuring him that it would be just fine. I remember that happening to me when I moved. That charger was nowhere to be found, until it damned well wanted to be found! If it hadn't been for a kind neighbor, I wouldn't have been able to call in a personal day at work.
His phone call was short and he came in from the kitchen within sixty seconds. He was still holding the gift bag, and I was curious. I invited him to sit and have some hot tea, wanting to include him in the loop of neighbors here that rely on each other. If he seemed trustworthy enough, I'd pass a good word along to the neighborhood watch leaders. Strength in numbers, they say.
As he sat down, looking around, as people do when they come to a new home, complimenting my taste in decor, he smiled at the offered teacup. He was awkward with it, as most men are, with the small, dainty handles and delicate rims.I grinned at his effort, and he laughed. I felt instantly comfortable with him.
"I've brought you a little something, Miss Downey." He smiled and set the gift bag on the coffee table.
"Please, call me Marla." I smiled back and thanked him as I took the bag and reached inside. I pulled out a gorgeous pair of high heel shoes. I'm sure I looked shocked as my mouth hung open. It was a gift of a more intimate nature than is appropriate. I felt myself blush, and an uneasy feeling crept over my heart. I felt it pound in my chest. I was sure he could hear it. His smile became a little darker.
"Put them on, Marla." His tone was distinctly more stern. I knew this wasn't going well. I always assumed I'd know what to do in a rape situation. I always thought I'd be able to fend off an attacker. I keep in great shape, and I don't look like a target. I walk with confidence and I pay attention to my surroundings. This wasn't supposed to happen.
His tone became a bit colder as I hesitated. "Put.......on the shoes...Marla." His tone conveyed wicked intentions toward disobedience.
He kept saying my name, as if I were a child being scolded. My best survival instincts told me to play along, so I put on the shoes. These were sleek, black, shiny stilettos. I could tell he had shelled out some money on them. I wondered how he knew my size. The fit was perfect. His eyes appraised my every move, flashing fire as he breathed in deeply, looking at my shoes, slender ankles, and traveling up my shins, lingering at my knees.
"Pull your dress up over your thighs, Marla." His voice was low, whispered, but still very much in control. I did so, exposing the tight flesh of my well toned thighs, though I kept my knees pressed together."Spread your legs, Marla." And I did. I blushed as he moaned and adjusted his cock in his slacks. He sipped his tea and let his gaze linger at my pantied crotch before dragging his eyes to mine. I felt frozen, like a frightened bird under his heated glare.
"Look at you, all whorespread for me." He sipped his tea and watched me blush....watched my expressions....my eyes, my emotions. He smiled as the humiliation rolled across my face, and laughed as I felt like crawling in a hole. "Whenever I move, I make sure there's going to be a proper rapedoll for me living nearby. You are that lucky lady while I live in this neighborhood. You have been chosen for your beauty, certainly, but more. You have that slutty quality I look for in a fuckbeast."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. This sweet man speaking to me like a....a...a pervy freak! He went on to explain to me how things were going to be.
"When I knock on your door, you will let me in. But before you open the door, you will slip on the fuckme shoes. Is that clear, Marla? If you fail to have on the fuckme shoes, I will punish you before I rape you. Nod if you understand me, Marla." His voice was measured and staccato when he explained about the purpose of the gift. He sipped the last of his tea and set his cup down as I nodded yes.
"Good. You have been a good girl so far tonight, Marla. Let's keep that up, shall we?" He stood and gestured, indicating that I should lead the way, to the bedroom, I supposed. He locked the front door and followed me into my room. I turned on a lamp, and he was instantly on me, pressing me up against the wall, his hands caressing roughly, his mouth hot against mine as he kissed me.
His lips crushed mine as he pressed hard, and his hands smoothed up and down my sides, arms and back. He broke the kiss to whisper something chilling. Something that echoes in my head even now.
"I'm your new boyfriend, Marla. There will be no one else for you. I will consider it cheating on your part if I find you with another man." His voice sounded so odd. I could hear the sideways nature of him just then. The disturbed side of his shiny personality had shown itself.
He backed up a step, his eyes falling to my breasts. "Take off your dress now, Marla." I was embarrassed, and I had removed my bra earlier to relax. I shook as I took the shoulder straps down and pulled each arm through, dying inside as I pulled the soft fabric down and under my big tits. I heard his breath draw in sharply. I pulled the fabric down with trembling hands, exposing my lean ribcage and concave belly, toned with hour upon hour of ab workouts each week.
