There were three of them, Joe, Mike, and Andy. They were ex-bikers and had hauled out their bikes for a road-trip over the long weekend. They were all around the forty mark now, big solid men. After giving up the biker life they'd all taken blue-collar jobs in the construction industry. There was nothing like working hard with your hands to put some solid beef on you.
They'd just passed through a small town and decided to take a break at a diner. They strolled in and ordered some coffee and sat down in a cubicle to relax for a while, talking quietly.
Talking not so quietly were three charming young ladies in the next cubicle. The men had spotted them on the way in (naturally) but didn't bother them, preferring some peaceful coffee.
The young ladies were Patti, Mel, and Cathy. They were in their early twenties and were all married, and quite happily married. They were using the long weekend to go and see mutual friends in a nearby town. One has to understand, of course, that nearby means different things in different places. In Queensland nearby meant only a hundred miles away, which was where this town was. The girls were having a coffee before facing the long drive. In the area they were in they were facing an immediate drive of nearly fifty miles before they even reached the next small town, let alone the larger town they were heading towards.
They were talking about life generally when the subject switched to a woman they knew.
"Did you know that Susan was raped last week?" Cathy asked the others.
There were sounds of agreement.
"Knowing her she probably enjoyed it," said Mel. "I saw her yesterday and she was prancing about as happy as ever. I suspect that the man didn't have to use much force on her."
"Other way round," came Patti's sniggered comment. "She probably forced him and then whispered rape. I say whispered because she wasn't shouting about it and complaining."
"Boasting if anything," agreed Cathy.
"Have either of you been raped?" Mel.
"Nightly by my husband," giggled Patti.
"Oh, we've all been there. That doesn't count," came the protest.
"What, Bobby's raped all of you. The swine. Wait until I have a word with him."
"Not Bobby, you fool," came the giggled response. "I meant our husbands. They crawl into bed and want sex and what we want to do is sleep. It's faster to let them have a quick bonk rather than argue about it. Strictly speaking, women's libbers say that is the same as rape and our husbands should be arrested."
There was some general laughter.
"Geez, imagine going to the cop shop and telling Sergeant Gannel that you wanted your husband arrested for bonking you. He'd laugh you out of the place."
"Still, I can't help but wonder what it would be like to be raped," mused Mel. "I don't mean meeting some thug who beats you up and brutalises you but just meeting some guy who makes you remove your panties while he fucks you. Nothing nasty about it, just a case of being helpless and unable to stop him from sticking his dick in."
"I know exactly what you mean. Basically having sex with a stranger but without the guilt because he makes you do it."
"One of the biggest disappointments I had as a teenager was going on a date with Andrew McKillop," grumbled Cathy.
"What? You dated him and didn't get raped? He had a wicked reputation."
"I know. We went out, had quite a nice time, he started to make a pass, and I said no. I thought he'd force the issue and fuck me anyway. He just shrugged and said OK, and never dated me again."
"Well, it just goes to show. When you can't even rely on a known rapist to rape you you're in a bad way. Um, do you think it was Andrew who caught Susan alone and did her?"
"Not this time," said Cathy.
"What do you mean, not this time?"
"Just that. I think you'll find Susan is a much raped woman. Three times that I know of and probably more. None of them her fault, of course. Andrew was the first. I'm not sure who the second was but this latest was apparently a stranger. That's why she was complaining. She likes to know who's fucking her."
Shortly after that the women departed, hopping in a little red car and speeding off.
"Do all women wonder what it's like to be raped?" wondered Joe.
"Probably," said Mike.
"Yeah. Some with trepidation and some with anticipation," laughed Andy. "Grab one of those little darlings alone somewhere and I wonder how much resistance they'd show before dropping their panties and succumbing."
The conversation changed to football and dreadful umpiring standards. Eventually the three men finished their coffee and hit the road again.
Twenty minutes later they were speeding down the road and approaching a rest area. There was a little red car parked there with the occupants of the car looking sadly at a very flat tyre. Noting this Mike slowed and glided to a halt a little distance from the car. Joe and Andy pulled up beside him.
"The correct thing to do would be for us to change their tyre, agreed?" asked Mike.
The other two grunted agreement.
"The incorrect thing to do would be for us to grab them and rape them. Three of them, three of us. If they're likely to not resist too much when by themselves, how much resistance do you think they'll give if they know it means one of their friends might get done twice?"
"That's an interesting question," observed Andy. "I think in the spirit of scientific curiosity we should really investigate and find out."
"I hear you," said Joe. "Question is, do we do them all at the same time or do we do them sequentially, keeping the second waiting until the first is finished, and then the third?"
"Well we wouldn't want to be too dictatorial. Maybe we should let them decide. We'll see what happens," said Mike with a grin.
"No worries, girls," Mike said as they approached. "We'll change the wheel and you'll be back on the road in a few moments. Ah, I'm assuming that you do have a usable spare wheel."
"Yes, we do," smiled Cathy. "We made sure of that before we left."
"You mean Bobby made sure of it," giggled Mel. "It didn't even occur to us."
"Same difference," said Cathy, waving her hand airily. "We have a spare."
The boys made short work of the change, tidying things away quickly.
"Thank you," said Cathy earnestly. "We'd have been fighting the stupid thing for ages."
"Not a problem," said Mike. "Listen, guys, I'm taking Blondie here. You make your own choices."
"I beg your pardon?"
"Granted," said Mike, waving his hand graciously. "Come on over to the table." He indicated the table and bench set up for travellers using the rest area.
"Hold on. Just what are you getting at?"
"Hey, nothing to be concerned about. Just collecting a friendly thank you from you. You'll enjoy it."
"The hell I will. If you think you're having sex with any of us you're badly mistaken."
"Ah, Blondie, I think it's you who are mistaken. Are you saying I have to share a brunette with one of my mates? Rather selfish of you, isn't it, insisting one of them get fucked twice while you just sit back and watch?"
"That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying none of us are having sex with you. We're married. We don't do that sort of thing."
"If you're married and don't do that sort of thing then I pity your husband. I'm sure he'll want to do that sort of thing. Anyway, we're not asking. We're telling you. Now come along."
Mike caught her arm and led her over to the table, protesting every step of the way, but not actually struggling. Reaching the table he stopped and smiled at her.
