Well here is the final chapter. I hope you the reader are satisfied with the ending. It is as I planned when I turned a one-off story into a series but it just took longer to get there then I had thought.

CHAPTER 14
Sky sat sideways across the rear seat of a large powerful 4WD vehicle. Ren was driving and Brad sat in the passenger seat. Behind them the two bikes belonging to the men were being towed on a large trailer made especially for the transport of motorcycles.
Sky kept watch out the window at the passing night scenery; she was desperately trying to keep a track of where she was going.
Brad looked over his shoulder into the back seat to see if Sky was still awake. She turned her head to look at him and then looked back out the window. A quick glance at the dashboard clock revealed that dawn was not far off. He knew they would soon be pulling into an off road shed to camp for a few hours so both he and Ren could get some sleep.
As the vehicle approached an all night service station Ren slowed the vehicle abruptly and paused at the curb just long enough for Brad to quickly get out of the vehicle before it started moving again. Sky sat up alertly as Ren turned into a side road and drove along slowly for several minutes. Sky soon realised that the road was an exit road from the highway that lead to a roundabout and back to a highway entrance that would bring them back onto the highway back before the service station.
Ren glanced in the rear-view mirror and saw the way Sky was looking around the parking lot as they approached the service station.
"You sit back and keep quiet. I hear one sound out of you and I will put the gag back on you," Ren warned her in a stern tone.
Sky glanced towards Ren with narrowed eyes and he realised she was trying to work out just how far she could push her luck.
"You don't want to piss me off," Ren warned.
Sky settled back into the seat. Although she knew the tone of voice he had used boded ill for her if she defied him, she intended to yell out if she saw someone about.
Brad was waiting at the curb as they approached the front of the service station and Sky was aware of Ren glancing into the rear-view mirror every couple of seconds. The pause to pick up Brad was minor and the vehicle was back underway within a second. Sky turned her head to watch the service station disappear in the distance behind them.
"You hungry and thirsty Sky?" Brad asked as he sorted through one of the bags of food and drinks he had bought at the station. He glanced back over his shoulder at her when she didn't answer him after a few minutes.
"Sulking are we?" Ren asked dryly and Sky realised that he was still in the dark mood as when he had arrived at the warehouse to pick her up from Seth.
Sky didn't answer as she looked away from him. It was dark outside the vehicle but she could tell by the position of the moon it was getting close to morning.
Ren turned off the highway and drove up a road for nearly half an hour before turning into a driveway.
Sky looked around drowsily as she struggled to stay awake. She sat up more as the vehicle slowed and she looked at the large shed ahead of them.
Ren drove the 4WD into the large shed and parked at the back. He turned the lights out and shut off the motor. He heard Sky shifting in the rear seat and knew the time to start dealing with her had come.
"I'm going to go find someplace warm to bunk down for a few hours," Ren said to Brad as he climbed from the vehicle.
Brad got out of his door and stretched before glancing back over his shoulder and across the roof of the vehicle at Ren.
"I'll go for a stroll around to see how secure it is," Brad said.
Sky sat in the car silently as the two men walked away; she was cold and exhausted. Her head ached from finitude just as much as from the bump she had taken. Exhausted she closed her eyes as tears welled in her eyes and trailed down her cheeks. Silent sobs shook her shoulders as she thought about the message she had left on her parents' answering machine. They would be there to meet the coach; she was sure of that and she hated to think how they would feel when she didn't arrive on it.
Sky was starting to think they had left her in the car while they settled themselves somewhere comfortable when the door behind her shoulders opened and a cold draft came into the vehicle.
"You ready to get some sleep?" Brad asked as he unbuckled her seatbelt.
Sky nodded silently as he slipped his hands under her arms and eased her out of the vehicle to stand stiffly on her bound legs. Without hesitation Brad scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the corner of the shed where Ren had covered a pile of hay with several old horse blankets and Hessian sacks.
"Give me a moment to grab my sleeping bag," Ren said to Brad before heading back to the vehicle.
Brad sat Sky on the ground and squatted down to untie her legs. He glanced up at her face to find her watching him closely.
"Don't even think about kicking me." Brad warned.
Sky looked away from him. She didn't turn her head when she heard Ren return or when she heard the rustle of material.
"Okay, all ready. Now Sky you behave." Ren warned as she felt him untying her wrists. He rubbed the marks left on her skin from the rope before straightening up.
"You mind if I use some of this space too?" Brad asked Ren.
"Feel free. I intend to sleep." Ren said as he watched Sky crawl into the sleeping bag.
Brad tossed his sleeping bag onto the edge of the prepared area. He left a good three feet between him and where Sky was settling into the sleeping bag.
Sky lay on her side with her back to the space where Ren would lay; she heard the straw rustle as he stretched out behind her. A strong arm slipped over her waist and she was pulled back against a hard body. Fearing he was about to help himself to her body Sky began struggling and managed to break free of his hold. She had half crawled out of the top of the sleeping bag when Ren delivered a hard slap to the seat of her pants and pulled her back down towards him.
"I am not in the mood for this!" Ren warned near her ear in a harsh voice. He wrestled her onto her back and stared down into her frightened face.
"I don't want to do this! I'm not healed properly! You'll hurt me!" Sky protested as she struggled uselessly. Already she could feel her body responding to the nearness of Ren's body; her breasts felt swollen and her nipples were puckered into hard pebbles. There was a languid heat building down low in her stomach making her ache pleasantly between her thighs. She could feel the rush of moisture that signalled her arousal.
"Have I ever taken you by force? Hurt you?" Ren demanded angrily. "No I haven't, have I? You have enjoyed it each time I touched you!"
Sky stopped struggling, since it only further aroused her. Her breasts were tingling from where they had rubbed against Ren's chest. She became aware of the hot hard length of Ren's arousal against her thigh and looked into his face startled.
"Only just noticed have you?" Ren demanded as he pressed his hips against her more firmly. He looked down into her wide startled eyes. Slowly the fear left her face and she looked away from him.
She could see Brad where he lay with his back to them and she realised he could not help but hear every word either her or Ren said and hear every movement as it made the straw rustle.
Ren moved back onto his side and pulled her against his chest; he held her there securely with his arm.
Sky held still as Ren cuddled her to him. She was aware of his arousal pressed against her buttocks but he made no move to touch her in any other way except to hold her close.
"Go to sleep," Ren murmured near her ear.
Deciding the smartest thing to do would be to obey him she closed her eyes and tried to relax. Slowly the last of the tension drained from her and Sky drifted off to sleep.
When Sky woke several hours later she lay against Ren's side, her head resting on his shoulder, her body pressed against his side. She could feel one of his hands stroking her back lazily and she knew he was awake. Eventually she raised her head. He was watching her and after meeting his gaze she looked away. Brad was still asleep several feet away behind her and Sky lowered her head back to Ren's shoulder.
"Do you need to go to the toilet?" Ren asked her quietly.
"Yes." Sky as she realised with a start that she did need to go to the toilet rather urgently.
"We'll go for a walk then," Ren said quietly and Sky sat up somewhat reluctantly.
Ren got to his feet and reached a hand down for Sky. She looked up at him for a minute then reached for his hand and allowed him to pull her to her feet.
"Come on." Ren said. He didn't release her hand and Sky tugged at it as she followed him from the shed. Ren glanced over his shoulder at her and Sky glanced down towards her hand.
"I won't try to run away," Sky said softly.
"Maybe I just like holding your hand." Ren said gruffly.
Heat rushed into her face as she felt herself blush and a warm feeling seemed to fill her body.
Outside Ren released her hand near a tree and moved several steps away before tending to his own needs. Sky hurried to relieve herself and once she finished she followed Ren back to the shed. He got a bottle of water out of the vehicle and poured it slowly so Sky could wash her hands. When she was finished she took the bottle and did the same for him.
"You hungry?" Ren asked.
"Yes." Sky answered.
"Hey Brad! We're going to eat." Ren called to his friend.
Brad woke up and sat up sleepily. He waited a few moments before climbing to his feet and heading out of the shed.
"Why did you run away?" Ren asked evenly.
"I want to go home." Sky answered softly.
