-one-
"How're you doing, baby?" Doris asked.
Linda shook her head, dazedly.
"Okay, I guess," she said weakly.
Her memory of the previous evening was somewhat hazy. She dimly remembered Doris threatening to dismember anyone who tried to lay a hand on Linda after she had struggled, aching and bleeding, from her impalement on Tom's cock. And she recalled Doris putting her into a tub of hot water, where she had laid until the raw ache had subsided somewhat, and then Doris had gently anointed her battered puss and welted ass with some herb-smelling salve she claimed never to be without, and had tucked her into bed.
And, Linda thought, had stayed on guard the rest of the night.
Doris pulled the covers off her gently.
"Let me take a look," she said.
Linda parted her legs and Doris peered clinically at the area revealed.
"Looks fine," she said cheerfully. "Comfrey and a few other secret ingredients--fix anything short of a bullet in the brain! Now tell me if this hurts."
She moistened a finger at her lips, and ran it gently over the lips of Linda's vulva.
"Okay?"
Linda nodded.
"Okay--let's see what it's like inside."
Linda tensed slightly as the slim finger way through the tight lips--then relaxed.
"It's okay," she said gratefully.
"Well," Doris said, "the chopper is going to be here today--listen, dear: they aren't going to force anything on you now. Even Tom isn't crazy enough to kill you just for the sake of it; and I showed them enough of my karate to convince them they'd better not try any more rape."
"You really did?"
"Uh-huh." Doris grinned reminiscently. "I should have called their bluff before--only I didn't know if I could. Oh, that's another reason Tom isn't going to try anything--he's suffering from a slight case of broken arm and badly kicked balls ... it made quite an impression on those other two jerk-off's. I hope there's a competent doctor where they're going--Tom's going to need it!"
"Doris--"
"A pleasure, I assure you. Only there's this: I may be wrong, but I think what you should do now is have sex."
"Have--"
"Like horse-riding. You get right back on after a bad experience." She grimaced. "Well, I never managed it myself, but then I don't turn on to men anyway. But I think you ought to--well, jump right back on--and enjoy it. That Johnny seems to know what he's doing, wouldn't you say?"
Linda thought--and recalled her unexpected eagerness for the experience of being fucked before Tom's viciousness had ended all enjoyment-
She recalled the curious pleasantness of being stuffed full when they had used her rear canal-
And somewhere in the back of her mind was a tiny spark of a recollection of a fleeting kind of pleasure somewhere deep under the pain as she had levered herself up off Tom's cock--as it had slid out of her, there had been something that had not been entirely agonizing....
"Yes," she said. "I--guess maybe I should ... before I start thinking I can't... if they won't hurt me..."
"Oh, they won't hurt you," Doris said grimly.
A few minutes later Johnny came into the room.
"Hi, teach," he said jauntily--but she had a definite impression that his arrogance had been shaken.
Doris followed him in.
"Now," she said brightly, like a teacher employing positive suggestions to get good results from a troublesome pupil, Linda thought, "Johnny's going to show us just how good he is at really making a woman enjoy being fucked--aren't you, Johnny."
He gave her a sidelong glance of respect.
"That what you want, teach?" he asked.
She smiled up at him sweetly. He really was very good-looking, she thought
"Yes, I'd like that, Johnny," she said. "Why don't you--take your clothes off and come into bed with me?"
Doris smiled.
"Call if you need anything,' she said, and left the room, closing the door quietly behind her.
Johnny stood looking down at Linda.
He said: "Look-I-I'm sorry--about--you really want to make it now, huh? I--I can do it pretty good--if you really want to--"
"Yes, I do," she assured him again.
He undid his shirt, and suddenly he relaxed, and grinned down at her, no longer playing the role of hunter toying with helpless prey.
"I always wanted you," he said, "but I knew it wasn't no good asking--that's why I said they should take you when they wanted somebody to be a hostage--I figured I could make it with you that way...
He stripped off his pants and stood at the bedside, a tan-skinned, muscular stud whose cock was pulsing into hardness at the sight of her.
And he was right, of course. It wouldn't have done him any good to ask.
