Dear Reader,
This is my first attempt at writing anything in a little while.
This is a fantasy so please indulge me the somewhat unrealistic chain of events... I am pretty sure that this could not or would not happen in real life... But that is precisely what a sex fantasy is about!
I am not sure where this story fits, so in the interest of not offending anyone, I have decide to put it in the Nonconsent/Reluctance category... There is not a violent, premeditated, or intended rape involved in the story but something does happen beyond the control or consent of the protagonist...
The story is not very polished yet, and it is long winded... so don't start unless you have the time... also please don't hesitate to voice your comments, or concerns... I won't take it too personally, I promise.
Finally, please show you care and vote... and hopefully enjoy!
1000dreams

No good deed goes unpunished... How the rescuer gets trapped in the end.
5:30am - time to wake up. Jackie's eyes opened from another dreamless sleep. The tick-tock of the old-fashioned alarm clock pierced through the silence of the room. She had not heard its ring in years and she had long ago stopped setting the alarm. She was a creature of habit and always awoke abruptly at the same time no matter what. The dog stirred when she started to move. Soon, it shuffled its nose beneath her hands seeking to be stroked. Unaware, she started caressing its soft hair.
It took a few seconds for her to re-center herself. She was covered with sweat and was gasping for air. She breathed in and out forcing herself back into the moment as she chased the violence and the bad memories away. How long had it been since her last dream? Eight years... There was no room for dreams since then, only the nightmare that she would wake to night after night.
The landscape was even more silent than usual as it rested enveloped in its snowy cocoon. She identified with the eeriness, the silence, and the isolation of the early morning hours just before the first rays of light would penetrate through the darkness. That time was the only time that she took to herself. Then, the twins would wake and her actions would be dictated by all the automatisms that she had developed as a single mom responsible for the care of two young children. But not today; her babies were gone for the entire winter break at Aunt Jeannie's.
For a minute, she wrestled with the thought of staying under the covers. The house was not designed for these temperatures and there was no real heat to speak of, the small electric heaters that she had in each room did not help much with these sorts of temperatures. Lighting the fireplace was such a hassle that she did not usually bother with it. Anyway, the heat it produced was only meant for the living room. It never reached the bedrooms.
She did not care for the politics behind climate change but she new that this part of the world had never known as much snow as she had seen in recent years. She had grown up in these parts and she could not recall these types of winters in her childhood. She knew that because of the snow she would be trapped in her house on the hills for the next few days. She was glad that the kids were away this time around. Last year, it had been a challenge to keep them occupied for the week that it took for the roads to be drivable again. There were no snowplows in any of the surrounding counties and no one owned cars equipped with the proper tires. A mere dusting would make everything a mess and the four inches that had fallen during the night meant that she would not see anyone for a long while.
She shivered in her nightdress. The kids were away and she could stay in bed if she so desired. However, she never listened to herself and never gave in to anything that would make her feel good. She had denied any form of self-satisfaction since the accident. Today, her early morning routine would be the same as it was every other day. The repetition of daily activities was what carried from one day to the next and she did not want to change that. If she ran out of things to do she could always start the spring-cleaning early this year she thought to herself.
The dog barked, calling for her attention. She arose and slipped on her thick robe over her the extra large T-shirt that she slept with every night. She absent-mindedly noticed her erect nipples through the tweed fabric of the T-shirt. It was so cold that her skin felt tighter than usual every movement of her clothing sending shivers down her spine. The garment she wore to sleep, her school's colors, was her only vestige of a life full of shattered promises.
The dog twirled around her legs. It was time to let it out and to go brew her cup of Joe. Then, she would sit quietly at the kitchen table staring through the window as the sun arose through the hillside.
As she walked through the house she came to the realization that the electricity was out. That explained it all. Even the heaters had quit working and the house had gotten colder through the night. Before panic set in, she remembered that the shed had recently been restocked with firewood. She breathed a small sigh of relief, as she knew that she would not freeze to death. The pantry was full so there was nothing to worry about with regard to food. Her cell phone could only pick up a signal when she was in town so it was basically a fancy paperweight when she was home. With anguish, she realized that she would be totally isolated from the rest of the word for the next few days when she picked up her landline to a dead tone.
She opened the kitchen's door to the backyard and the dog ran out bouncing in the snow. She turned around and turned on the stove, the blue light of the flame lit a little corner of the room. She brought her hands up to it seeking to warm up her fingers. She then filled a pot with water. She would have to make a filtered coffee the way her grandma used to make it back in the days.
As she gazed at the stove, the dog started barking in the distance. She turned to face the window seeking to see where the noise was coming from. The dog then ran back to the house and started scratching the door. She opened it expecting the dog to run back in, dreading the mess that its wet hair would drag into the house. The dog however barked at her and started to walk away then came back towards the house and repeated the process several times. Though the dog had never acted this way before, she understood this to mean that it wanted her to come out and follow it.
She grabbed her winter coat and put on her boots thinking that she needed to go get the firewood anyway or the temperature in the house would keep on dropping.
When she got close to the tool shed she jumped back startled. Was there a bear or a man lying on the dry patch of ground beneath the roof's extension? Once her eyes adjusted to the dim conditions she could see the clothes so she concluded it was a man. As he laid on his side in a fetal position, his massive frame rose to her hips. She was petite in stature and, until that day, she had never felt so small. The contrast in sizes created by this imposing figure alarmed her.
She quietly went into the shed and grabbed the shovel. She did not want to get too close. She instinctively knew that this beast of a man could easily handle her like a small child. She poked him to try to wake him. He was completely unconscious and un-reactive to her stabs. Had he been there a long time? There were no tracks in the snow that she could see. She concluded that he had probably sought refuge in the early hours of the snowfall.
She went back to the shed and took out the wheelbarrow. With some ingenuity and the use of some leverage she managed to put the man in the cart. It took her a long time to bring him back into the house and by the time she made it back the sun was fully out. She was frozen throughout and so she dumped the man on the hardwood floor of the living room before heading back to get the wood for the fireplace.
