Previously, Shannon was abducted by a group of six men after she shared a dark fantasy with her husband. She was forced to serve the men, then restrained to a bed, where a larger group of men had sex with her. Shannon struggles with her alter ego, the part of her that enjoys being a slut, the persona that her captors have named Ashley. Ashley has admitted that the men satisfy her more than her husband and has also shared her other fantasy of being a stripper. The men have told her that if she willingly follows their directions for one more night, they will release her and take her home.
Shannon and Ashley Part 4
'Good. You have a big night in front of you. If you are Ashley, you will have a good time and we will take you home. Do you understand?'
'Yes Dan,' I told him.
'Tonight you are going to be that person that you just pictured in your dream. We are going to take you to a strip club and offer men the opportunity to use you, to grope you, to have oral sex with you, to fuck you. I want you to actually experience that feeling you yearn for, naked, exposed, vulnerable, selling your body to men. I want you to feel the same way you felt in your dream, the feeling that caused you to orgasm.'
I was horrified.
I begged him, 'Please Dan, I can't, not with strangers, not with strange men.'
He ignored me at first, telling the men to make sure they grab everything and close up the trailer, adding that he hoped they didn't have to bring me back. Then he looked at me.
'You're worried about strangers? After last night? The only difference tonight is that instead of being handcuffed to a bed, you'll be selling your body to those strangers. And if you can't do that, then we will be back here again and you will serve them here. Put Shannon away.'
It was almost dark outside when the men had gathered several duffle bags and the leftover beer and said they were ready. The driver said he had my belongings and Dan grabbed my leash and told me it was time to go. The fully dressed men led me outside and into the back of the cold van. My naked body shivered as the driver started the van and turned up the heat. Dan climbed into the passenger seat and the two men that had brought me here were in the back with me, although this time they weren't holding me down.
I heard the doors of the sedan close and we were on our way. I continued to tremble and my teeth chattered as I sat nervously on the thin blanket, my back against the cold metal wall of the van. I watched our journey as we all sat silently and traveled out of the country and back towards the city. It was a long drive but we eventually pulled into a parking lot where the van was illuminated by bright neon lights.
Dan called me up to the front of the van and asked me if I recognized where we were. I told him I didn't.
'This is Lucy's. We are by the airport. I picked this place because it's only about 15 minutes from your house so it'll be easy for you to get here. Plus they have amateur night on Wednesdays. Hump day.'
He laughed at his own joke, and then continued, 'Look at how full the parking lot is. Maybe you'll get lucky and one of your neighbors will be here and want to use you.'
I became more and more timid, the reality of what I was going to have to do setting in on me.
'Listen closely Ashley, this is how tonight is going to work. A couple of guy are going to go talk to some of the patrons here and see if anyone wants to come out to the van. Your job is to act like the stripper slut you are in your dreams and sell yourself to them.'
I begged him, 'Please Dan, don't make me do this.'
'You're going to do this if you want to go home. Once I am convinced that you know how to play your role out here in the van, then we are going to take you inside where you can work the crowd and really fulfill the fantasy in Shannon's pretty head.'
The two men in the back of the van with me got out and I watched one of them head inside with one of the black men from the sedan. Dan tuned the radio to a station playing popular dance music and turned the sound up, creating a new silence in the van. I watched, through the windshield, every new patron that walked into Lucy's, judging each of them. Some looked normal, some looked seedy, some looked disgusting and some looked mean.
And as I watched men entering, I filled with anxiety anytime a patron exited the club, wondering if they were coming to our van, coming for me to service them. And it didn't take long before a middle aged man wearing a green baseball hat and a white hooded sweatshirt walked directly to the van. The driver rolled down the window and the man said he was sent out here by a tall black man inside. They told him to climb in from the side door. As he walked around the van, Dan threw a handful of condoms in the back, scattering them across the blanket and reminded me to play my role.
The man climbed in and looked at me kneeling in the back, then moving closer to me. I felt tiny, small, frail, weak and helpless.
I felt ashamed.
The man said hello and reached out and felt my breast for a moment before Dan interrupted.
'Ashley, you need to figure out what your customer wants and how much it's going to cost.'
I couldn't believe he expected me to negotiate the sale of my body. The man with me told him, and me, that the men inside said he could get a blow job for fifty bucks. He then handed the money to me. I took it and Dan made me count it before handing it to him.
