TJ sat by himself in the kitchen deep in thought while waiting for Holly to come around. He was next. The others knew to leave him alone uncertain what was bothering him.
TJ sat back. He hadn't been sleeping well lately and it was beginning to show. He worried what would happen when it was over when him and his friends were on their way back to university.
Would Holly and Will honour the arrangement and keep quiet? What would happen if they reneged?
TJ was one year away from realizing his dream of becoming an architect. The thought of being unable to fulfill that lifelong dream because of criminal charges filed against him and potentially languishing away in an eight-by-eight prison cell for years to come caused him to sweat and his heart to race. He felt on the edge of a full-blown panic attack.
He envisioned a very public trial that would ruin everything. He pictured family and friends sitting in court judging him as the prosecution made its case. Even if he managed to win he would always live under a dark cloud. There wouldn't be an architectural firm in the country that would hire him.
He thought back to how it had all started. That fucking Hector!!!
What were they thinking? Granted Holly was a beautiful woman with a body that wouldn't quit but damm...all that risk and limited reward for a piece of ass was inexcusable.
He thought back to the violent confrontations he had had with Will and the accusations of rape that had been directed at him. While he had been behind the threats to let Will freeze to death outside the warm cottage he reminded himself that he wasn't alone -- there were six other guys who were friends of his who were equally culpable. ...but it worried him that Will seemed to blame it all on him.
If it became public because Will and Holly reached out to the police would the others throw him under the bus for a reduced sentence or a chance to stay out of the limelight?
He had to do something to protect himself. Although it had been brought up taking a life or lives was out of the question. He had to be creative and come up with a way to ensure that the married couple would be more concerned about what had transpired going public than he would. If he could create a scenario where he was the victim defending himself and that Will and Holly were the aggressors and had captured and abused him until his friends came to the rescue...
"That might just work", he thought but there were a lot of details to work out including their full cooperation.
Time to talk to the others.
--------------------------------------------------------
The seven men huddled around the kitchen table going over the details of TJ's plan while both Will and Holly were asleep. TJ wondered how Will could sleep at all tied up the way he was to an uncomfortable looking chair. The only respite he got was when they fed him and when he had to go relieve himself. At first it had taken three of them to keep him in check but TJ had seen that he had withdrawn into himself and no longer seemed a threat resigned to what the men were doing to his wife. Nevertheless TJ was wary around him.
TJ did not hold back telling the others about his concerns. It turned out that he was not the only one who had reservations worried that everything would fall apart the moment that Will and Holly were released. Nick asked them all to put themselves in Will's shoes -- would any of them have acted any differently if their girlfriend, wife or partner were abused the way they had abused Holly. The silence answered the question.
"That's all fine and dandy Nick," Tommy began, "but we can't undo what we've done to her."
"...and there is not a chance in hell that I am giving up my turn with her!" Jeremy announced in a firm voice.
Jeremy had become quite anxious when TJ had agreed to let Jeremy go ahead of him. The others were all eager to see what Jeremy had in store for her. He had promised them a show they would not soon forget.
"So what's the consensus?" TJ asked after laying out his plan.
The men looked at each other nodding their agreement.
"Then it's decided?" TJ asked.
Everyone agreed and they began to discuss the intricate details.
----------------------------------------------------------
An hour later Holly emerged from the bedroom fully dressed in a light blue blouse, shorts, bra, panties and slippers. She avoided the looks of the seven men and glanced quickly at her husband who had noticed her dishevelled appearance. He had a questioning and worried look about him, a look that was becoming commonplace. Holly averted her eyes which spoke volumes to her husband.
"Come and have something to eat Holly," ventured Nick as he placed a plate of hot food at the kitchen table pulling out the chair for her and moving back.
Holly wanted to decline the offer but she was famished. She couldn't remember being as hungry as she was then. Then she recalled Karen her promiscuous friend who sought out men with large cocks. Karen had told her that a memorable sexual marathon had plenty of orgasmic upsides to count but that it had one downside that it always left her starving. She had told Holly that she could eat an extra-large pizza by herself and then she was ready for another go around. Holly soon learned that Karen got a sexual thrill out of watching Holly's stunned reaction. Little did Holly realize that Karen was bisexual and longed to bed her beautiful friend and introduce her to a new world an opportunity that was never realized.
As she made her way to the plate of food she wondered if Karen's words about the impact of a sexual marathon like she had experienced explained her ravenous appetite.
The men left her in peace as she ate. She was on the verge of licking the plate clean when Nick offered her a refill which she readily accepted.
Jeremy was no stranger to the affect on one's appetite after a lengthy session of sex. He glanced at her, his eyes lingering on the side view or a prominent large breast, as she finished the second plate grinning knowing that she was going to be famished again once he was done with her.
When she finished Nick removed the plate and the seven men crowded around her sitting in the remaining seats. She looked nervously at each of them.
"What?" she asked fearfully.
"There's been a change of plans," volunteered Tommy.
She looked at Tommy waiting.
"You're first going to spend a bit of time with Jeremy."
She visibly shivered at the thought of Jeremy's horse sized cock and what it had done to her. She wondered if she could hold back her body's desire. She steeled herself believing that she could hold off her demons if she reached down deep into herself. She felt a rise of confidence.
"...and after that?" she asked almost nonchalantly surprising the men with a newfound sense of herself.
That's when they told her about TJs plan.
After hearing the details she broke down crying.
"No! I won't and you can't make me. I refuse!!!"
TJ asked the men to leave him alone with her for a minute or two. They all got up and left.
She had her face in her hands when TJ asked her to look at him.
"I hate you!!!" she screamed.
He didn't know how to respond but instead taking a deep breath before telling her that there had been at least two roving polar bears in the area over the last few days and that they were hungry. TJ and the others had seen their monster sized tracks within a hundred feet of the cottage. What TJ hadn't told her and the others was that he had been throwing out food scraps to attract the carnivores a fact he was not proud of.
"If we put your husband outside even for a few minutes we may not have enough time to bring him back in before they get him."
"My God!!! You wouldn't?"
"If you're asking me if I want to do that then no I don't."
"...but I can't afford to be looking over my shoulder for the rest of my life or waiting for the police to knock my door down and haul me away at any moment."
"But we agreed and signed the documents you asked of us."
"I know but let's be realistic here Holly. Would you and your husband have let this go?"
She looked away.
"Exactly what I thought," he said, "but if we put this little act together it would change everything wouldn't it?"
She nodded with tears in her eyes. If her and Will played along with the plan there would be no way that they would ever want any of what had happened to be revealed. If they did change their mind chances were strong that both of them would be arrested instead of any of the seven men.
"So do we have a deal?" he asked.
"On one condition," she began, "this is the last thing I do with any of you!"
"I can't make any promises about Jeremy but I can talk to the other three and see if they are willing to put an end to any further one on ones with you."
"Stay right here," he ordered her as he walked towards his friends.
She watched the men talking some shouting and arguing before things quieted down with what looked like an agreement.
TJ walked back into the kitchen by himself a few minutes later.
