For the people following me from Loving Wives, this story is in NonConsent/Reluctance, and it's there for a reason. You have been warned. But it's still one of my stories. Which... again, you have been warned.
—----------------------------------------
I had her pegged the first time I saw her at the bar: a good girl out for a night among bad people. Not the really bad people, of course; that would be too much. Instead, she was in a goth club on bondage night, when a local group of performers would take to the stage for some extreme, if not very explicit, acts of sadomasochism for the titillation of the normies.
She was pretty in a girl next door sort of way, with long blonde hair tied back in a simple ponytail and hazel eyes. Her tiny frame-- maybe 5'2" at most-- was adorned with the best mall goth gear that Mommy and Daddy's credit card could buy: a Cure t-shirt, short (but not too short) skirt, fishnets, and chunky boots. None of them had any signs of wear; they might as well still have the price tags on them.
Black lipstick and artfully applied mascara enhanced her beauty, but makeup washes off easily. The only real, concrete sign that she might be anything more than a tourist badly trying to fit in was a nose ring. But with the way she occasionally toyed with the simple silver loop, it must have been new, too.
The way the girl acted at the bar was wrong, too. Everything about her screamed "I don't belong here" from the way she stood to not understanding the protocol for ordering a drink to smiling at the wrong kind of guys, the ones who saw her for what she was: helpless prey. And then she smiled at me.
Which is how Grace ended up on the couch in my living room.
She looked comfortable lounging there, with a friendly, open smile and relaxed posture, chatting away about some trivial matter. I interrupted her nattering to say, "I'm going to put some music on."
"Okay!" Even her voice oozed sweetness as she continued to talk about... whatever.
When the music started, Grace fell silent, and her smile turned brittle. I had picked the Joy Division album "Unknown Pleasures," set on repeat, but starting with the track "She's Lost Control."
As I locked the door, turned the deadbolt, and put the chain on, the tension in her body ramped up. Grace spoke up. "Josh? What are you doing? I thought you needed to check on something, then you were going to drop me off?"
I'm a big guy, with probably a full foot and a hundred pounds on her, most of it muscle. I can be very intimidating when I want to be, but I also have a face that I'm told makes me seem approachable and trustworthy, along with a reassuring smile. The smile I favored her with then was absolutely not meant to reassure her. Grace's jaw clenched when I took a step closer, the first signs of panic beginning to surface in the young woman's manner. "Josh, I--"
"Shut the fuck up." Grace stopped speaking for one moment, then the panic turned to outrage. She made the tiniest angry sound before my open palm impacted her cheek. The girl next door touched it gingerly, tears in her unbelieving eyes. "Did I fucking stutter, bitch?"
"P- please, I--" Another slap to the other cheek silenced her, other than a pained noise. The hit wasn't particularly hard. I wasn't trying to leave marks--yet, at any rate--just get her attention. I had it.
"You'll leave when I say so." Grace's eyes were level with my crotch, and she finally saw the bulge growing there. I had thought her panicked before, but now the little slut was petrified. "Get my cock out." She shook her head vigorously, mouthing 'no.' But when I raised my hand to strike again, the gestures of protestation stopped mid-motion. "Now."
She seemed like a sweet little churchgoing thing, but even those types have usually at least given their bible thumping boyfriends handjobs. Was that what Grace was thinking as her shaking hands reached for my belt? As she gulped with fear while she unbuttoned and unzipped my pants? Did she hope, "If I just get him off with my hand, maybe that'll be enough?"
If so, she was wrong.
Grace blanched as my hard dick came into view. I'm not a porn star, but I've never heard any complaints, at least not from women that were sharing a bed with me willingly. In terms of length, it's decent, but its thickness was likely the cause of her consternation; the fingers of her small hand just barely encircled its girth.
A hiss of breath escaped my lips as she stroked it experimentally. Grace's skin was so very soft against my hardness. Between that and her easy, fearful submission, I knew I was in for a good time.
"First time touching a man's cock, little girl?"
"N- no." Her voice was uncertain. "I, um, I had a boyfriend back home. He--"
