I had had a horribly boring Friday night. I'd gone out with some friends but the places we went just seemed so dreary and dead. I'd finished up going home early and catching a reasonably early night.
I followed this up with a boring Saturday. I don't currently have a boyfriend, dropping him when I found he was cheating. I could possibly overlook him having a casual date with another woman but I saw who he was cheating on me with. I mean, she was a dog. How he could cheat on me with someone like her; well, it was just plain insulting.
So I was on the loose and when my friends suggested that I come out with them on Saturday night I thought, why not? It had to be better than staying at home.
So we went out and hit one of the local clubs and, as chance would have it, we met some guys we knew. They'd just stopped by on the way to a party. Said we were welcome to tag along. Some friends of theirs were just throwing a bit of a bash. No real reason for it, they just wanted to have a party.
Anyway, we all rocked up at this party and everything was fine. There was loud music and dancing and a friendly crowd. They'd drawn the line at adolescents. We had to show proof of age before we allowed in. Apparently the father of one of the guys organising things had forked out for a couple of barrels, and the beer was on the house. That's why the no minors rule. A hassle with cops about underage drinking was not on the agenda.
I had fun, drinking and dancing and flirting with some of the guys. Not full on flirting, just a bit of sexy back talk with a few innuendos that I let slip by if I thought they were a bit too personal. I had no intention of jumping straight back into the dating pool. I was going to just cool it for a while.
It was the free beer that my undoing. I don't exactly have much of a head for alcohol. Not that I get blotto. I just seem to settle down and go to sleep as soon as I've had one too many, waking in the morning with no problems and no hangovers. The latter is a source of satisfaction.
I must have had that one drink too many while at the party and gone looking for a place to have a snooze. I woke up in the morning to find myself on a couch in the front room of the place where they'd help the party. I guess that when it was time to go my friends looked around and couldn't spot me and must have assumed that I'd left. The result being that I'd been left behind, unclaimed baggage.
Waking without a hangover is useful. Instead of groaning and wailing for some Panadol I just hopped up off the couch. My intension was to sneak out and find my way home. Irritating really. I'd dressed for a nightclub and I had on a slinky red dress that showed off both my breasts and my legs. (Actually, right at that moment it was also showing my panties, having ridden up while I was sleeping.) A nice dress if you're at a party but not the sort of thing you want to be wearing when strolling home on a Sunday morning.
I was just starting to straighten my dress when someone spoke to me.
"Nice legs," I was told. "I take it you're a remnant from last night's party."
I very hastily finished pushing my dress into place, even while I was turning to see who was speaking. There was a man, about forty, leaning against the door, a smile on his face as he looked at my legs.
"Ah, yes, I guess," I said. "I must have fallen asleep and my friends overlooked me when they left."
"Careless of them," he said. "I don't think I'd have overlooked you if you'd been with me. I'm William, by the way. This is my humble abode. The boys asked if they could use it for their little party. I was away for most of the night so I didn't mind, as long as they tidied up before they finished. Which they have done, it seems, except for you. And you would be?"
"Ah, I'm Paula," I told him. "Sorry to be a nuisance. I'll get out of your way."
"Oh, you're not a nuisance," William said. "In fact I'm quite pleased to see you. You fit right in with the warnings I gave the boys. I'm actually quite pleased to see someone as attractive as you."
"I don't understand," I replied cautiously. "What's with the comment on warnings?"
"Oh, that. It's just that I told the boys if they left anyone behind I was going to have them outside mowing my lawns. Unless it was someone female in which case I was taking them to bed. You, I have to admit, look very much the sort of female I was thinking about."
I was already shaking my head.
"Sorry. Not going to happen," I said, speaking quickly. "I'm not into casual sex and I don't even know who you are."
"Yes you do. I already told you. I'm William. As for casual sex, you'll find it's fun."
Maybe I would and maybe I wouldn't. I just wasn't interested in finding out.
"Sorry," I repeated, trying to sound regretful. "I'm just not interested. I'll just be getting along."
"Actually, I'm the one who's sorry. I should have been a bit clearer when I explained. I'm going to fuck you. End of story."
I'm like, "What!? He can't be serious."
He could be, I realized, seeing the way he was looking at me."
"Ah, seriously, that would be a bad idea," I told him. "I've said no and there could be trouble if you tried to force me."
He looked impressed. NOT!
He just ambled over to where I was standing and grabbed me. Just like that, one step, two step, and grab. I tried to dodge but he was fast. I started yelling and struggling and he just took hold of my wrists in one of his hands and started stripping me.
I wriggled and yelled and he peeled my panties off, flicking my shoes off at the same time. (And how come I was still wearing my shoes after being asleep all night. You'd think I'd have kicked them off.) He unzipped my dress and pulled that off me, totally ignoring the way I was struggling. I knew men were stronger than women but I just hadn't known how much stronger. Here I was struggling as hard as I could and he didn't even seem to notice.
"Last, but not least," he crooned in my ear, while he snapped open the clasp to my bra. Pushing that down and getting it off left me without a scrap to hide behind. I was stark staring naked and he was holding my hands behind my back while he checked me out.
Apparently happy with what he saw he simply picked me up, slung me over his shoulder, and carried me out of the room and further into the house, totally ignoring the fact that I was kicking my legs and hitting his back. He finished up taking me into a bedroom and standing me up. At least, he hadn't just thrown me onto the bed.
"Now, look," I yelled at him. "This is ridiculous. I said I'm not having sex with you and I mean it. Cut out this nonsense and let me go."
"Stop with the protesting," he grumbled. "It gets old, fast. I've already told you what I'm going to do. If you don't like it, too bad. Just quieten it down a little. You're likely to give a man a headache, bitching on like that. Now bend over then end of the bed, there's a good girl."
I bent over the end of the bed. Not like a good girl, though. I bent over like a girl who had a massive hand clamped on the back of her neck and forced to bend over.
"Now just stay like that until I'm ready for you," William said flatly. "I won't be long."
