Ann's father George owned a successful cattle ranch, and George and his wife Linda were able to spoil Ann with everything a teenager could want. Clothes, the finest restaurants, and exotic vacations. But her most prized possession was her horse, Duke. Her parents started her with equestrian lessons when she was young, and she quickly gained skill and confidence and won many competitions.
They were very protective of her though, being part of a fundamentalist religion and afraid the outside world would corrupt her. So, they decided to home school her, which resulted in her learning a lot about academic subjects, but not much in the way of social skills. Her main interactions were with other young women on her equestrian team.
These girls were from much wealthier families and had very snobby attitudes about anyone who didn't have as much money as them or were not as smart and sophisticated enough for them. Unfortunately, Ann became like them and had a very arrogant attitude towards everyone she met, especially retail workers and wait staff in restaurants she dined in with her parents. Ann was also very nasty with her mother, snapping at her whenever she didn't get her own way.
George and Linda indulged her though, as they both came from very large families, but Ann was an only child, as they couldn't have children after Ann due to medical reasons. They wished they had a large family and hoped that Ann would bear them many grandchildren.
As part of their religion, women were treated like the property of their husbands and had to obey their husbands every command, including how many children they would have. Ann loved her parents but her equestrian friends bragged about how their mothers totally dominated their fathers, so Ann was furious that her mother would allow her father to treat her mother so harshly.
Ann's bedroom was next to her parent's bedroom, as they wanted to make sure she wasn't doing anything sinful. After she turned eighteen, one day she came home from her riding lessons and found they had removed the door to her bedroom and bathroom.
She was puzzled why but their excuse was they were afraid she might start drinking and doing drugs in her room. But she often found her father staring at her when she was changing or showering, but he never did anything but stare at her. She was tall and very thin, with flowing long blonde hair and when she wasn't riding her horse, she was on the treadmill and didn't have an ounce of body fat on her.
After the door to her bedroom was removed, her parents didn't realize that she could hear them in their bedroom. She always heard muffled noises that sounded like someone crying, but thought she was imagining it. Her father had a very high sex drive and loved the power he had over his submissive wife, who was ten years younger than her father and was forced to marry her father in an arranged marriage when she was only eighteen. Linda was very beautiful and although George gave his wife all the material things a wife could want, in the bedroom it was a different story.
After the door was removed, she started hearing her father demanding sex from her mother every night, and when she wasn't in the mood, he would roughly force her. Their religion only allowed vaginal sex when the wife was not on her period, so she could be bred, but during her period her father's sadistic streak kicked into overdrive. He would force her to have rough anal sex, as she cried into the panties he had stuffed in her mouth. Or he would force her to take his large cock down her throat, until she almost passed out from lack of air.
The worst was when her father spanked her mom. She could hear her sobbing, and she would get a longer spanking if she cried. He often used a riding crop on her, as the purple welts turned him on even more. It was a weekly punishment based upon how much her mom had displeased her father that week. Ann would see her sit down very slowly the next day and was disgusted with her father and mother. She vowed to herself to escape their sick perverted religion someday. But she made the mistake of trying to talk to her mother about it one day and her father overheard them.
"Ann and Linda, are you talking about me?" George bellowed as he charged into their large living room, surprising them.
"No George, Ann and I were talking about her schoolwork," Linda lied in a shaky voice.
"Don't lie to me Linda. I heard Ann asking you why you let me force you to have sex and discipline you like a good wife should be disciplined."
Ann and Linda lowered their faces to the floor as a wave of embarrassment and humiliation washed over them. "Linda, why don't you tell Ann what is in store for her once we choose someone for her to marry."
"Choose someone for me to marry! What are you talking about! I want to marry someone I love!"
"That is not our way, Ann. Linda, tell them what our traditions are."
"Please George, don't make me say it out loud. She is too young and innocent to hear about our sex life."
"Linda, you better tell her, or you know the penalty."
Linda stuttered in a low shaky voice, as she slowly started speaking to Ann. "Ann, you know our religion requires women to obey their husbands and fathers. The father decides who their daughter will marry. We don't wait until our wedding night to have sex for the first time. The future husband gets to 'try out' his future wife to see how obedient she will be in bed, and how hard he can fuck her or spank before she cries, and judge how many children she might be able to bear."
She slowly continued, as Ann looked at her dumbstruck, finding out their secrets that she had suspected but didn't know about for sure. "Your husband owns your cunt, ass and mouth. He can take you any time he wants and can impregnate you as many times as he wants. He is allowed to have as many wives as she wants. He can also take his daughter after she is eighteen, but your father doesn't believe in that. He has been watching you lately though to see if you have a body that will be good for breeding, so he can find a good match for you."
"Mom, Dad, this is crazy! How can you believe that is a normal marriage!" she shouted.
"It is our way Ann and has been for a long time. Us women know our place in the world and must obey men."
"Linda, show Ann what your punishment is for conspiring against me and our ways."
"George, no, you can't possibly believe I would do that in front of our daughter!"
"Linda, take your jeans down now. You know you need to be punished like a good wife needs to be sometimes." Linda meekly unzipped her jeans and pulled them down to her ankles.
"Take off your top, bra and panties too and get across my lap."
"But George!"
"Don't disobey me woman or you know it will be worse for you."
Linda obediently took off the rest of her clothes as Ann sat on the couch dumbfounded. George pulled out a kitchen chair from the table and sat down and patted his thigh for her to get over his knee. She walked over and got over his knee and awaited her fate. She was thin like Ann so didn't have any padding on her ass. You could bounce a quarter off of it.
He started slapping her butt cheeks with his open hand and she soon started sobbing softly, but also tried to reach back and grab his hand, but he was too strong and pushed her hand forward. "It's okay to cry Linda. You don't have to hide our ways from Ann anymore. She needs to learn what is expected from a wife."
Linda started crying but also felt herself getting wet between her legs, which disgusted her. Whenever George would give her a spanking, afterwards he would make love to her all night, making sure she orgasmed multiple times, so like Pavlov's dog she associated spanking with orgasms.
George suddenly stopped spanking her and she sat up on his lap. She put her arms around his neck, and he softly cooed in her ear. "That's my good girl. Your cunt must be soaking and needing some relief." She nodded her head yes as his hand snaked its way down her stomach and his fingers reached into her soaking vagina. He started fingering her as she moaned, oblivious to her daughter being shocked at Linda's pleasure of being physically abused but getting excited that she would be rewarded after it. Linda tried to not orgasm in front of her daughter, but it was useless to fight it. She came in waves and waves of delight as she whispered in her husband's ear, "thank you for reminding me of our way."
Ann was excited when she found out she got into a top local college and her parents even agreed to let her commute to classes and not have to do classes on-line. But they watched her like a hawk and made sure she didn't try to date any boys. But now besides her snobby equestrian friends, she saw other girls be treated nicely by their boyfriends, even though they were bitches to them, and realized there was another world outside the bubble of her strange religion.
But Ann didn't know that her mother had gotten cancer over the summer after she finished her high school home schooling classes and was going downhill fast. She did notice that her father was being unusually nice to her mother and that he looked sad all the time. They didn't tell her that her mother had terminal cancer until shortly before Linda died in early March. She wondered if her mother had regrets about following their misogynistic religion. In the end Linda whispered in her ear, "we have a certain way, but you need to find what way is good for you."
She didn't know that her parents didn't have health insurance and by the time her mother died had racked up enormous medical debt. Her father had also made some bad investments and had neglected the ranch business. Ann became rebellious and started to date boys, which her father didn't know about in his grief, but she was afraid to go past letting them feel up her firm young B cup breasts, which she did to gain power over them.
Ann treated her boyfriends terribly, in subconscious revenge for how the women in their religion were treated. She continued her equestrian training and her equestrian friends taught her how to be a stuck up bitch to men and a mean girl to the other girls in school.
At the end of the school year, her father somberly had her come into his office. "Ann I've been avoiding telling you this, but I'm broke. Really broke. Between the medical bills and the business failing, we've been foreclosed on and have to leave the ranch next week."
"But Dad what will happen to us?"
"Well, I got a job as a ranch hand at another ranch so I can try to make some money, but it will take a long time and I am worn down and not sure if I can handle the physical work."
"Dad, what is going to happen to me? What about my horse, Duke?"
"Ann, the ranch I am going to be working at doesn't like women there because they are a distraction, so you can't come with me. You may not be able to finish school either and will have to give up Duke.
