In some reader comments concerning my former submissions, probably also due to my bad English, I have been claimed to be a Middle-East Muslim with full of hate against Christianity and Western people. Maybe this short story clears out such a thoughts...

"You dogs! Don't you dare to touch her!" shouted Ben Ali Hussein when the two mercenaries were approaching his spouse. Actually, these Western soldiers were not mercenaries any more, but that had been the case for several years. They were very familiar with this country and after their contract had ended they had decided to start a business of their own. They had become bounty hunters. They had lot of experience in working in special task force and they knew their skills would be useful in this new business. Alan was British and Mark and Tom Americans and they had become very good friends during their former service. Though it was dangerous to stay there by their own, the rewards paid for catching certain terrorists was very tempting. They had no boundaries to their home countries. All of them were bachelors.
Ben Ali was one of the terrorists in top 30 most wanted list. The bounty hunters had managed to use their good network and trace him down. They had got a hint that Ben Ali was going to travel to one of the villages and they had set an ambush on a road some miles before this village. The soldiers had used powerful guns to shot the engine of Ben Ali's car. It had stopped by the ditch and before Ben Ali could do anything he found himself bound. The men had dragged him into their car. Ben Ali had not been alone, but accompanied by his wife. She didn't dare to resist when the men escorted her to the same car.
For Alan, Mark and Tom the easiest way would have been just to kill Ben Ali at once. They could earn a big money for that. On the other hand, they knew with help of this man they could get into tracks of several other terrorists. Due to that they took him to their 'base', which was a stone walled small house by the edge of the city. It was perfect for their interrogation purposes. They figured out that Ben Ali's wife could be a useful tool for digging out some information.
Ben Ali was securely bound to a metal chair in this dizzy room. Alan was standing in front of him and was responsible for the questioning.
"Mark and Tom have been a long time without a woman," he laughed and continued, "You have wrapped your wife like a Christmas present." He referred to her outfit. It was a burka covering her totally. Even her eyes were covered by a sheer dark material. You could not see her eyes, but probably she could see something through it.
"Go to hell!" Ben Ali responded and tried to spit on Alan.
"I'm sorry. I forgot you don't have a Christmas."
"Let her go. She doesn't know anything."
"I bet you do. We will spend here some quality time and during that you will reveal locations of some of your fellows."
"I won't tell you anything!"
"I'll start with easy questions. What is her name?"
"It is not your business," Ben Ali replied.
"This is not a good start in our relationship. Strip her."
"No. She is Hawra," Ben Ali said quickly.
"Good. Does she speak English?"
"Yes, a little."
"Wow. I thought you have banned all kind of education for your ladies."
"That was before I married her. Her father was liberal. Slave for Western dogs," he replied anger in his voice.
"And you feel things are now better for Hawra?"
"Yes. I'm her husband and I take care of her."
"She must be ugly or why are you covering her totally?"
"It is Allah's will. We don't want our women to go around like your Western whores."
"Bullshit. As far as I know, there aren't anything like that mentioned in Quran. I believe it is just a matter of your weak self-esteem."
"You can believe what you want," Ben Ali answered harshly.
"Don't tell me you have performed female circumcision to her."
"It is not your business, but no. She was too old for that. Her father should have taken care of it."
"So, she enjoys having sex."
"It is not her privilege."
During the whole conversation Hawra was worried where this interrogation may lead to. Her feelings were very controversial. She still remembered how her father had got killed. Ben Ali hadn't done that, but his friends had been involved. They had murdered her father in front of her eyes. Ben Ali had forced her to marry him and during the time she had got used to the 'new order'. She knew Ben Ali was deeply in love with her. However, she could never love him back. If these soldiers killed him, she wouldn't feel too sad. Hawra's concern was what would happen to her after that.
Alan burst into laugh again. "It is not her privilege...means that you are not man enough to satisfy her."
"Fuck you!" Ben Ali shouted back.
"Okay. Let's skip the crap. You know, nothing stops us for killing you. We get paid whether you are alive or not. If you give us information which leads us to your friends, I'll promise you can keep your life and you will be only prisoned."
"I'm not afraid of dying. I'm not a traitor. Our faith matters more than my life."
"How about Hawra's life? You love your wife?"
"Leave her out of this! She doesn't know anything," Ben Ali yelled.
"We'll see." Alan stuck a piece of cloth to Ben Ali's mouth gagging him. Then he turned to Hawra. "Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Yes," she replied quietly.
"You realize you mean nothing to us. I want you to answer to every of my question, if you want to stay alive."
"Please, don't kill me," she begged.
"Calm down. Just do what I say," Alan comforted her. He heard her sigh. Alan's next question was surprising and was obviously meant to humiliate Ben Ali. "So, is true your husband can't satisfy you sexually?"
Hawra was happy the burka covered her deep red face. She saw the look of her husband. It was like drilling holes to her. She hesitated. She couldn't decide whether to tell the truth or not. "It is not true," she finally lied.
Alan turned back to Ben Ali. "You heard her. She enjoys sex. That must piss you off. Remember, it is not her privilege." The next question to Hawra was even more intimate. "How does he make you feel good? Good foreplay? Does he lick your tits or pussy? Or is he a good kisser?"
"Please, don't me make say things like that," she begged. Alan looked serious. "None of those," she then stammered.
"You mean, he just fucks you and that's all."
"Yes..."
"And that makes you to cum?"
"I'm not sure do I understand," she answered.
"Orgasm."
"I don't think I have ever had one."
"So, you lied earlier?"
She started to sob, "Yes...please don't kill me."
