Hello. My name's Tracey Robinson, I've just turned 20 and I'm a media studies student in the leafy suburbs of Surrey. I'm five-foot one tall with short red hair, a fair complexion with freckles, green eyes, a pretty smile and a petite figure, although I've got a nice pair of knockers. I know boys are attracted by my looks, and I freely admit I've played up to that in the past. I lived the first 11 years of my life in Northern Ireland, and I've never lost my accent -- a soft one, not the Belfast twang even I find grating. My daddy's a businessman. He's also a Big Man in the Orange Order. I hate all that bigoted religious shit; perhaps that's why I've always been attracted to Catholic boys.
I know my daddy does some dodgy dealing too. Whether through that or the religious politics, he pissed the wrong people off and decided we'd be safer in England. Behind a big fence and gates that are controlled electronically from the house. My mother lives there too, but she's a mouse, wouldn't say boo to a goose. Well, not unless Daddy told her to, anyway.
My Daddy's a bit paranoid about security. Apart from the fence he has security guards wandering around the perimeter with big, vicious dogs at night -- I was always too terrified to go out there after dark. And he never drives anywhere unless there's secure parking. He uses the same taxi firm all the time, and they have to send the same couple of drivers. He'd have liked to wrap me up in cotton wool as well, and have me escorted to and from college every day, but I wouldn't stand for it. That's what gave me the idea.
As I'm a student, Daddy gave me an allowance, but it was only 500 sodding quid a month. Honestly, a decent pair of shoes costs 150, he has no idea. I was complaining about it to my then boyfriend, Jimmy Flynn; despite the name he's Scottish, not Irish. We were joking about how I could get more cash of out of the tight-fisted old bugger, and I said, "Just think how much I'd cost him if some bastard kidnapped me." We laughed and Jimmy moved on. I thought about that conversation later though, while he was shagging me, and a little seed was planted (not by Jimmy, thank Christ!). I saw an old TV show once, The Sweeney, in which this upper class berk arranged with one of his mates to pretend to be kidnapped, to rip his parents off. Regan and Carter saw through him of course, but the idea was sound if he'd had the balls to do it right.
Jimmy nearly shit himself when I told him what I was thinking. At first he refused to believe I was serious, then he said he wanted nothing to do with it. He always was a weak-willed little soul though, and after I'd sucked his dick and licked his balls for a few minutes he began to think maybe it wasn't such a bad idea; after all, he could use 25 thousand pounds too. We agreed 50 grand was the amount to go for. He thought I'd just disappear and we'd send a ransom note, but I told him we had to do it properly -- soon too, I had some exams coming up at college that I didn't want to miss. I decided I'd have to be bundled into a car. I picked a road which was quiet enough that no have-a-go-hero was likely to be around to interfere, but which I knew had security cameras to pick up the drama. When Jimmy asked how he was going to bundle me into a car on his own, I breezily replied, "All right, we'll increase the ransom to 75 -- you must have some pal who'd be up for helping you. It's just a prank, after all." That suggestion -- involving a friend -- was my biggest mistake.
Well, actually my biggest mistake was letting Jimmy choose the friend. I knew a couple of girls who would have gladly helped me and could have used the money. Anyway, on the evening we'd agreed, I strolled along the designated street as I do most evenings going home from college, my belly clenching with nerves as I worried it might be too dark for the cameras to pick us up clearly, and wondered what car Jimmy would use. I checked my watch and started cursing the stupid bugger for being late. Three times I wandered up and down the part of the road we'd agreed on, like some hooker peddling her wares, my hands thrust deep into my pockets -- it was bloody freezing.
Finally a car with no headlights began to drive slowly along behind me, like a kerb crawler looking for business. After my last thought I hoped it wasn't a sodding kerb crawler! The car pulled level with me and I heard a foreign accent, a female one, asking me directions. Swearing under my breath I bent down to the rear window. At that moment the door opened, a strong pair of hands grabbed my arms and I was bundled off my feet. The car accelerated with a screech of tyres with the door still flapping open and the person who's knee I was sprawled over made a grab for it and slammed it shut, hissing "Arschloch!" at the driver. Both she -- I could feel her boobs pressing against my face -- and the driver were wearing hoodies that zipped right over their faces, with plastic goggles built in for their eyes.
I struggled on to my bum on the seat beside her and, leaning forward to the driver, asked, "Jimmy?"
The guy glanced at me over his shoulder as he took a corner on two wheels and said in a flat South London accent, "Jimmy's not comin' darlin'. 'E bottled it, so we're doin' the job." I rolled my eyes. Honestly, Jimmy really was a useless wanker, I wasn't sure what I saw in him.
Even then I wasn't worried, if he didn't want his share that was his lookout. Like some upper crust deb coming out I held my hand out to the woman and said, "Well, hello, I'm Tracey, and you are...?" A goggled grey-fleeced face stared back at me, ignoring my hand. The next thing I knew, one of her hands was clamped to the back of my head, and a thick, sweet-smelling cloth was pressed over my nose and mouth.
I woke with a splitting headache and feeling as if something small and scratchy had had a dump in my mouth. An electric light was shining into my eyes from the ceiling and, squinting, I turned my head to one side. There was a glass of water on a cabinet beside the bed I was lying on. I tried to reach for it, and realise with a shock that I was manacled to the bed. A figure came into view. She was a bit fuzzy at first, but as she sat on the bed and lifted my head, pressing the glass to my lips, she swam into clearer view. She looked tall, maybe a foot taller than me, I guessed mid to late 20s, a long, plain face with prominent cheekbones, shoulder length brown hair and brown eyes. She was still dressed in the black jumper she'd worn when I was lifted.
I sipped the ice cold water and coughed a little as it went down. Then I thanked her and checked out my situation. Both my arms were stretched above my head; by craning my neck I could see they were secured by handcuffs to an iron bedstead. I looked down and realised, with a shock, that I was naked. I couldn't prevent a gasp emerging, and I felt my face blushing. There was a harsh laugh. I raised my head and saw a man sitting in a chair at the foot of the bed, staring at me. I clamped my thighs together as hard as I could. Trying to keep my rising panic out of my voice, I quavered, "Look, this is all very dramatic, but do you think you could let me get up now, so we can discuss how we're going to play this?"
The bloke leapt to his feet, went round to the side of the bed opposite the woman, and grabbed my chin, very hard, between the fingers of one hand. "How we're going to play this, darlin', is you're gonna stay chained to this bed until your fat bastard daddy pays us a quarter of a million to let you go."
He had an evil, angry look on his face. He was younger than the woman, early 20s probably, with curly black hair, flinty eyes and a big chin that hadn't been shaved for 24 hours or so. I suddenly felt more scared than at any time in my life before. The man stood, releasing my sore chin. Trying to hold back the tears I felt brimming, I squeaked, "Do you know who my dad is, dickhead? He's not a man to cross."
He gave another harsh laugh, and replied, sarcastically, "Yeah, we know who your dad is. That's how we know he could afford a million, except he probably wouldn't reckon you were worth it. But he might just shell out a quarter-mill for you, and he probably carries that as pocket change."
Desperate by then, I spat, "You're never going to get away with this. Jimmy would never go along with it. Do you think he's just going to stand by while you lock me up here?"
Another laugh. "Jimmy's a tosser. He shits himself when I so much as look at him. He tried to rope me in on this to show me he was a player, but as usual he didn't have the brains to think on the right scale. He won't dare say anything, he knows what I'd do if he did." I squeezed my eyes on my tears, and heard myself give a rasping sob. What the bloody hell had I done to myself, I was thinking. The man muttered, "Oh for fuck's sake", and I realised that I was pissing myself, literally.
I flinched as the woman stroked my forehead. With a slight accent, I assumed German, she said, "It's okay, I'll clean her up."
The man was staring at me with a look of disgust; then something seemed to change on his face. Without taking his eyes from me, he said, "Yeah, later. Why don't you nip to that takeaway now Goodie, and get us all a nice curry?"
The woman -- it took me a moment to realise that Goodie must be her name -- gave him a long, cool look then stood, shrugged and said, "Okay" and left the room. A minute or so later I heard a front door close. The man never took his eyes off me. Then he walked to the bottom of the bed and began to undo the belt of his black jeans.
It was obvious from the look on his face what he intended. I scrambled backwards, pressing myself against the cold bedstead, and hissed, "Don't you dare fucking touch me."
He grabbed my ankles and pulled me flat on the bed. I shivered as he held one of my feet, stroked the sole with the palm of his hand. Grinning, he said "Or what?"
My moment of false courage faded away and, tears streaming down my face, I begged, "Please, please don't do this." I sounded like a seven-year old begging her mummy not to smack her.
The bastard's grin widened and he climbed onto the foot of the bed. His cock was already erect, long and thick. I made a desperate attempt to kick out at it, but I was too late and my flailing legs just made it easier for him to grab them and thrust them wide apart. As he lay on top of me I tried to kick him again, but the only effect of that was to wrap my skinny legs around his hairy ones. He grabbed one of my shins, holding my leg around him, and laughed, "Ooh that's it darlin', I love it when a bird's enthusiastic." Then his fingers touched my gash and a moment later I felt his cock slam into me.
I've read that some women get sexually aroused during rape. There was no chance of that in my case. The bastard hurt me, hammering at me with as much force as he could manage, banging my head against the bedstead with each thrust. I was screaming and sobbing, begging him to stop, but if anything it had the opposite effect. He started to mutter things like "That's it, you love it don't ya, you little slag." I was tugging at the handcuffs to try and free my hands, vaguely aware of them cutting into my skin, distracting me slightly from the pain between my legs. To my utter shock the fucker bent his head to one of my tits, licked it then actually bit me. I screamed even louder. Mercifully, he came straight after that, with one final huge thrust which pushed me right up the bed. Then he pulled out of me, wiped his sticky cock in my ginger pubic hair, and pulled his jeans on.
