Act 3 Showed
I woke Sunday morning with the sound of my shower. Tina stood beside me in the dim dawn. She lay down on me. My arms were still tied out stretched to the headboard but so I could move around and not cramp up. I was gagged but not blindfolded.
"Helen, I think he's having second thoughts. Honest, I didn't want to take him away from you. I don't. But, god, he is a man, a real man, in bed, in me, on me. I think he likes my tits, not better than yours but, you know, different! Listen, he, he has a fantasy and I insisted that you'd do whatever you could to keep him. I did. He wanted me to do it for him, leave you here but I told him, I said he should let you. Try at least. Now, here's where I might have fucked up a little. I told him if you refused, then, then I would but he had to give you the chance, first I mean."
God, she seemed so sincere. I almost believed her, you know, that she thought she was taking care of me and not, how do I say this? She thought she was being generous or virtuous by lining me up to do whatever he wanted and yet, she wanted to be there, to see whatever he had in mind happen even to the point of substituting for me if it was too extreme, as she hoped it would be. There's the thing, she wanted to watch him break me. I felt warm inside, knowing that he was raping us both and that if he hadn't broken the little glass globe inside me filled with fear by now, I wasn't going to let it happen using her collaboration. I'd endure whatever they had in mind.
So, well, I almost believed her. Well, I did believe her really. It was funny, she was trying to convince me to do whatever he said and I'd already done that. She couldn't know. I wasn't going to tell her.
I shook my head, gabbling into the gag.
She grimaced and released it from my mouth. It was sopped with drool. I gasped and sucked when she pulled it loose.
"Is it negotiable?" I asked. Tina almost appeared surprised, thinking, I supposed that I'd refuse outright and she could slither in. She wanted to snake him out from under me, or from between my legs...if she only knew. When he entered her, it was rape, taking what wasn't his...or was it? Since she clearly was giving it up, participating and willingly, even eagerly. The conundrum didn't evaporate in the heat of orgasm, hers or mine. Certainly not his, so the question remained with me and truthfully, I rather savored it, keeping it sharp on my tongue like the taste of his cum. I'd completely gone to Stockholm by that point. I knew that and I didn't care, couldn't remember caring.
"What do you mean?" Tina asked, so sincerely puzzled, I almost believed her, again. I took her at her word however and did my best to explain, without telling her the truth.
"I mean, do you think I can ask for something, you know, in return? Make a trade?" I had a perverse thought and couldn't help myself. I was bleary from sleep and she wasn't making a lot of sense, not to me, not at that time. Later, later I'd understand, perfectly.
Tina shrugged. She wore my favorite robe and damn if she didn't look good in it. It was too small for her so her tits pushed out, making it gap in front, showing her cleavage. For the first time since she first cornered me into having sex with her, I didn't resent her in every facet of her being. For the first time I could show her what I was feeling, even though I had no idea how to label it. I lifted my head and pecked at her lips.
"What if I insist that I'll do it all, if he takes your ass? Would that work do you think? I know you want it."
Her face was comical. She first looked surprised then chagrined and finally sly.
"I know you want to see that, Helen. If you want to see him fuck me in the ass, I won't scream, not as an objection anyway." She blushed, even in the dim light I could see her face darken, looking more gray around her freckles.
The shower shut off. It was my turn. Tina released me and explained to him I agreed to try at least, whatever it was he had in mind. So we were agreed. It was like we were a trio. We were all showered, dressed and out the front door with a minimum of discussion. He only gave me a dark look to which I nodded, telling him I wasn't going to upset the little vignette we were acting out, not now; if that was his meaning, the question he asked or the command he gave, we were in agreement. I wondered if anyone knew he was here, what he was doing or what it meant. Did my neighbors know I was having sex with my husband gone? Only after trooping out to Tina's BMW did I think about how silly that was. We did have neighbors after all but it was before nine on a cloudy Sunday morning so surely no one noticed the three of us leaving, so early, two MILFs and my rapists. I just hoped they all stayed in bed for their weekly fuck and didn't see us get into the car together.
We drove out of the neighborhood to the other side of the city, downtown near the Mainstreet Mall where the tourists were, where buses ran every fifteen minutes for the River Live Festival going on that weekend. During the first part of the day, to the Festival the buses were full. The last part of the day, the buses were full in the other direction back to the commercial center, where most people parked so it formed a loop but over time. People would eat and then ride the bus down to the Festival and walk it off, then ride back to finish out their Sunday, on their knees, praying or fucking or confessing they were going to fuck.
We found a place with only a half an hour wait, waited and then got breakfast. It was nearly eleven by the time we walked out of the place. Oddly, Antonio had his arm around Tina and I fluttered beside them like a third wheel. Tina kept glancing at me, guiltily I thought so I decided to take the bull by the horns and fit her expectations exactly. I didn't fully understand what that meant.
"So? What do I need to do to get her away from you?" I asked them.
"Her? Away from me?" Antonio asked.
I realized only then what I'd said. I meant to say "to get you away from her" but bungled my lines. I decided to stick with that.
"She clearly likes you in her. What do I need to do to get you in me?"
His look was priceless. That dark, haunted look that was sexy or would have been if I hadn't been fully privy to its cause and origin, had lightened. In that moment, it shifted from his guarded, brooding expression to something else akin to amazement, rather like a kid with a new toy. Me, I hoped.
At brunch we'd chattered about nothing much and laughed and generally had a good, light-hearted time, although I did feel like two people. I'd had a moment when Tina went to the toilet and left us alone when I thought about what was happening again. I didn't even mention it. I decided, for this weekend, I wasn't Helen the housewife and mother, I was Helen Wheels. I'd smiled at the thought and let my mind laze into blankness, not caring what happened next. Antonio had stared at me, I think he was waiting for some discussion of this most peculiar rape, some explanation or request or something to reference the truth that he was my rapist, not my lover. He was waiting for me to step out of character and accuse him of raping us both. At that moment, I barely cared. My "normal" life had receded, almost disappearing behind a haze of guilty pleasure selected from my choices, selecting to embrace the sex rather than to break the fragil bulb holding the fear away from me, safely stored inside me but not yet poisoning my flesh. I don't think he understood that. I wonder if anyone could. Fuck, I had decided to like being raped, to have orgasms and survive rather than fight it all and have it score and scar me, body and soul, a spiritual tattoo that everyone could see but with a symbolism no one would understand and I would never forget. I was in the process of creating a cocoon for my secret and I hoped it'd emerge a beautiful butterfly rather than a ravenous monster that would destroy my life and everyone around me. I had consciously faced the risks, ego destruction or compliance and I chose duplicitous compliance, an erotic quisling who surrendered all dignity and self-respect to the prospect of pleasure as the antidote to terror. That was my gamble.
This moment was between us and Antonio looked at me differently. He knew I could no more call the cops on him now than I could refuse him if he wanted to fuck me again. Whatever he wanted, I'd do, I'd give him for Tina's sake but also for my own, to defeat the fear waiting to destroy me but also, and I knew this in my heart because of the thrill that I'd found, having him take me and share me. Now, whatever else he wanted, I seemed ready to let him have it, to do it for him or with him or to him. I'd become his to play with and no longer resented Tina's use of me. I was beyond that and I think that reality finally appeared to him in technicolor and high definition.
That was the aura around the two of us, invisible to Tina when I addressed myself to him out in the bleary sunshine after brunch. I emerged out of my lethargic, post-orgasmic haze to ask what I had to do to get him away from Tina, expressing the implicit wish to have him for myself. The transformation of my rape into my fantasy, and his, was complete and now, now Antonio knew it for certain. He smiled. It was a smile of anticipation and amazement but also relief, like he was a scuzzy guy suddenly the center of attention of a bunch of number ten models, all with the same agenda, to use her teeth to measure the length of his cock. I asked and his face clicked through several expressions.
