Hawk woke in the morning and sat up with a frown as he realised the girl wasn't on the bed with him, looking around the room he spied her in the far corner huddled up with a sheet wrapped around her.
"What do you think your doing?" he asked tightly.
She flinched and huddled into the sheet more if that was possible.
"Get over here!" Hawk ordered sharply.
Janetta began crying quietly but clutched the sheet to her and moved to the bed reluctantly, Hawk caught the sheet and pulled her down beside him roughly.
"You don't leave the bed until I stay you can. Understand?" he asked roughly.
Janetta knodded and lay where she had fallen praying he wouldn't touch her this morning. Hawk lay back and glanced at Janetta where she lay near him trying not to attract his attention, idlely he reached for his smokes only to toss them aside and pull Janetta up onto the pillow beside him by her upper arm. Her cheeks were damp from tears and her mouth softly swollen from last night, she clung to the sheet as he tried to take it from her and he slapped her on the thigh, not real hard but hard enough to sting and warn her to allow him to do what he liked. He made a sound of approval in his throat as he took his time running his hand over her body, she flinched and clamped her thighs tightly together as his hand brushed the inside of her thigh, he forced her thighs apart but instead of touching where he knew she'd be sore he ran his hand lightly up and over the curls that covered that place.
"I'm hungry, you can go to the toilet then cook me something to eat." he told her, Janetta hurried from the bed and Hawk laughed as he watched her pull on the cut dress.
In the kitchen Janetta sent a nervous glance at Jake as he sat at the table working on an engine part, he looked her way briefly but he had heard Hawks voice and after the slaps he had given her earlier for not being in the bedroom he knew she was to scared to leave the room without being told. She began to search the fridge and found sausages, eggs and tomatoes to cook for Hawk, she was putting a frypan on the stove to heat when Hawk came out from the room to eye her with irritation. Janetta looked around uneasily as he approached her and he backhanded her with enough force to send her sprawling on the floor before he stood over her.
"I told you to go to the toilet first." he said harshly. Jake looked up from what he was doing.
"She was in the bathroom when I got up." Jake said.
Hawk grabbed her by the hair and pulled her to her feet roughly before dragging her to the bathroom and pushing her towards the toilet not without considerable force.
"You don't leave a room unless I say you can. You don't do anything without my permission first, now sit on that toilet and for your sake you had better use it or I'll give you a good slap." He warned.
Janetta sat on the toilet and was relieved to hear the faint sound of tinkling water as she relieved herself, when she had finished she looked at Hawk uncertainly and he knodded.
"Wash your hands and go cook my breakfast." he ordered.
Janetta hurried to do as he said and was soon cooking sausages in the frypan, Hawk wondered into the room and looked into the pan, idly he collected two more sausages to toss into the pan.
"You can eat with me." Hawk told her, he turned from the stove and went over to help Jake with the carburettor.
Hawk turned his head to watch as Janetta finally placed his plate of food on the table well away from the work the men were doing and went to collect her own plate, Hawk sat down and surveyed his plate a moment before poking the eggs with his fork.
"I like my eggs scrambled not fried." he told her.
Janetta looked his way uncertainly but Hawk began to eat his food, clearly it was a remark so she would know better next time. Janetta ate hungrily, she had missed out on tea the previous night and lunch had been no more than a small snack to tide her over until teatime. When Hawk was finished he left his plate and returned to helping Jake, Janetta looked at him uncertainly, finally Hawk looked up at her and noted with satisfaction she was waiting for his instructions before doing anything.
"You clean up the place. Wash up, sweep the floor, and you can scrub the sheets on the bed we used last night, there's blood on them from your cherry."
Janetta looked away humiliated by his reference to what he had done to her the previous night, she hurried to clear the table of dirty dishes to be away from him.
Hawk caught her by the upper arm and looked down at her averted face.
"Pretending last night didn't happen won't change the fact that your my woman." Hawk laughed.
*****
Hawk and Jake walked into the cabin to find Janetta curled up against the corner in the lounge, she was asleep with her legs curled up beneath her and one arm beneath her cheek, Hawk looked around to check she had done the work he had told her to do, pleasantly surprised to find all he had told her to do completed he turned his attention back to were she dozed.
"Disappointed we grabbed the wrong one?" Jake asked quietly when he saw his friend intended to let the girl sleep.
"No, not really. She's spirited and smart enough to do as she's told. She'll bring a good price when I sell her later on." Hawk said.
Jake looked at her and eyed the gentle curve of buttocks visible beneath the cut edge of her dress, she was slim but shapely put together and he found her face quite appealing.
"She's kinda cute, you'll get her just how you'd like her then you'll have a hard time making yourself sell her." Jake commented.
"Hey you know me man. No ties." Hawk frowned then glanced at his watch. "Shit! it's nearly seven. Wake her up she can cook supper." he told Jake.
Jake walked over and lent down over Janetta, he traced a pattern on her bare thigh and watched her face as she frowned and shuddered in her sleep.
"Hey. Time to wake up." he said firmly, her eyes opened sleepily, they were clouded for a moment then she glanced around in alarm as she remembered the previous night.
"Time to get up and cook supper." Jake told her, she looked over at Hawk and he knodded.
Janetta got up and hurried over to the kitchen to find something to cook, remembering the decision wasn't hers to make she looked at Hawk uneasily, Hawk smiled with satisfaction.
"You learn quick, I like that. There's steak in the freezer, potatoes in the pantry and frozen vegies in the freezer too. You been good to day, you can eat with us so cook enough for yourself as well. Now let me see, what will I call you?" he mused.
"My name's Janetta." She whispered nervously.
Hawk made a sound of dismissal deep in his throat and walked around her in a circle studying her thoughtfully.
"Sky. Your eyes are the colour of the sky on a sunny day. I think I'll name you Sky." Hawk announced.
Janetta, now known as Sky looked down at the floor knowing better than to complain or protest the name. Hawk watched her carefully, seeing the way she made no protest at the name he realised either she was smart enough to realise she had no say in the matter, was biding her time or she was just plain scared of him.
"Broil the steaks, mash the potatoes."
When no further order was given Sky set to work collecting the food to cook, she was removing the steak from the freezer when she realised that Hawk had not said how much food she was to cook.
"Hawk? Uh Hawk, how much food am I to cook?" She asked hesitantly.
Both men stopped talking at the sound of her voice and Hawk turned to look at her.
"Cook enough for both Jake and me. So do you think you deserve a feed tonight?" Hawk asked her dryly.
Sky looked down at her hands miserably, she had been given no lunch on the basis that she had been trying to refuse his touch and now it seemed likely she would get no food again.
"I been trying to be good." Sky said softly barely above a whisper.
Hawk made a sound in his throat as if he didn't believe her then shrugged.
"You can have vegies but no meat." He told her and Sky knodded.
"What do you say?" he asked on a hard note.
"Thank you." Sky whispered.
"It not as if you ain't gonna give her meat later on. Just not the kind she can sink her teeth inta" Jake said with a laugh and looked at Hawk.
"She uses her teeth and there'll be trouble." Hawk said with a growl.
Sky set about cooking the meal as fast as she could, both men were talking to each other and several times crude comments were made about her but no reply from her was expected and she remained silent until the food was ready. Both men had been keeping watch and were at the stove before she could tell them that the meal was ready, she watched in dismay as they both dished themselves up large portions leaving very little for her.
"Sit over here beside me." Hawk ordered when Sky carried her plate towards the table.
Sky sat down where he told her to and Hawk put one arm across the back of her chair, he looked at her plate noting for the first time how little food there was on it, he watched her take a mouthful and eat it before he turned to his own food. She looked at him startled when he put one of his half cobs of corn on her plate, then Jake added some mashed potato to her food and she chanced a quick glance at him.
"We'll need ta go get more food before the end of the week." Jake commented.
"Work something out when the time comes." Hawk said and pushed his now empty plate away from him, he turned so he was facing Sky, reached out and pulled her chair over close to him.
"So tell me how old are you? Eighteen? Nineteen?" He asked
" I turned eighteen three weeks ago." Sky glanced at him nervously.
