This was a unique opportunity for Susan and myself. Our neighbors, Bob and Karen, owned property in a remote mountainous area about thirty miles outside the city. The site included a cabin that was within sight of a man-made lake. They had invited us to spend a weekend there with them. Initially, we protested that we could not leave the children. But they had a ready made reply. They had obtained a babysitter to stay with their kids and ours could spend the weekend with them. The children could all have an enjoyable time together and we could spend a few days away from any responsibilities. There was not even any internet service at the cabin.
Bob and Karen were our best friends. Bob and I worked together. In some ways, I envied him. For starters, I thought of Karen as what might be called a "trophy wife." She was 37, the same age as my wife, Susan. But she could have passed for considerably younger. She had shoulder length blonde hair on her 5'4" frame. She was absolutely beautiful and featured a bubbly personality. But I would never have even considered even making a pass at her. Bob was too good of a friend. But, more importantly, I was deeply in love with Susan, even after fifteen years of marriage. We were soulmates. Although not the beauty queen that Karen was, she was very attractive. Now 37, she had given birth to two lovely children. But that had taken nothing away from her girlish figure.
When we arrived at the cabin on Friday evening, we were all looking forward to forty-eight hours of communing with nature and spending time with each other. Bob and I decided to go for a short hike while the girls got things organized in the cabin. Little did we know that we would end up doing no communing with nature. But we would spend a lot of time with each other--and not in the ways that we had planned.
In our hike, Bob and I engaged in some gossip about some people that we both knew at work. We were gone no more than an hour. But when we returned and entered the cabin, we were shocked to see our wives sitting on the couch, with their wrists bound in front of them. Three strangers were also present--two men and a woman. The two men were carrying rifles and sported pistols in holsters around their waists. The woman was holding a knife. "Come in and join the party," one of the men said cheerily.
We were both furious. "Get the hell out of my cabin," Bob exclaimed.
Both men pointed their rifles at him. "We are not going anywhere," snapped the one who had invited us to 'join the party.' Bob and I looked at each other and we knew that we were in trouble. They were all heavily armed. We had nothing. We were in a very remote location and no help would be forthcoming. Everyone knew that we were out of town and not expected back until the end of the weekend.
The one who had assumed the role of spokesman was tall, about 6'4" and had muscles that bulged out from his tattered shirt and tight jeans. The second man was shorter, maybe 5'10". He had the look of a "mountain man," with stringy blonde hair and a full beard. The woman was petite, about 5'2." But she had large breasts, and it was obvious that she was not wearing a bra. Her nipples were visible through her flimsy white t-shirt.
Our initial concern was the safety of our wives. The captors made no move to stop us as we made our way across the room to be with them. I was about to ask Susan if she was okay, when the spokesman began. "We are all going to party together this weekend," he explained. He had the ladies arise from the couch and stand in front of us. Bob and I were then pushed down onto the seats. The woman captor put down her knife long enough to bind our wrists in front of us. She then used the knife to cut the restraints from our wives.
