"You may kiss the bride."
The preacher's words rang in Allen's ears. He looked down at Courtney, his young bride. She was no more than five feet tall. At 5'8, Allen towered over her. Her beautiful round face was framed in reddish-blonde hair, falling in gentle curls. Her big, gray eyes gazed up at his. Her smooth pale skin glowed in the gentle candle light. Allen's eyes gazed over her smooth, bare shoulders, and her neck, where her soft skin plunged into the gentle cleavage of her small, perfectly-shaped breasts. She looked just the same as when they met in high school. She was a sophomore. He was a Senior. They had dated all through high school and college.
Their lips met. Courtney felt a tingle. They had kissed before. They had necked and petted, but always stopped. Tonight it would be different, Tonight it would be okay. Allen felt the promise in his new wife's mouth. Standing at the altar, their tongues met briefly before their lips parted. The rest of the service and the reception were a blur. So many people, friends, parent's friends. Finally it was over. Casually dressed in jeans, the young couple slipped out the back way and headed for the family cabin where they were to spend the first night of their honeymoon.
Allen slipped the key into the lock. It was a little stiff. The family didn't use the cabin much. It was very pretty up here, but rather far away for regular use. It was a perfect place for a honeymoon.
"Carry me?" Allen heard Courtney's voice. She still sounded like a little girl, even though she was 22.
"What?"
"Over the threshold, silly!" she giggled.
"Oh yeah," said Allen, sheepishly. He bent down and picked her up easily. He nudged the door open with his foot. Courtney lay her head against his neck as he stepped inside into the darkness. They kissed before Allen put her down. He turned to find the light switch. He heard Courtney scream as someone grabbed him. Courtney screamed again. He heard her whimpering and breathing hard.
"Doan' move!" a thick, black voice threatened. "Or I'll cut yo' lil' girlfrien'"
"Al... Allen?" Courtney whimpered.
"Shut up!" the voice threatened.
Allen struggled to free his arms. The man holding him was much bigger and very strong. He felt the metal against his wrist. Handcuffs! He struggled until he heard Courtney shriek.
"Doan' move or I'll cut her!"
Allen hesitated. He felt his arms pulled behind him. The cuffs closed around his other wrist. He was helpless!
The lights came on. A big, black man had his arm around Courtney. He towered over her. Her tiny white hands clutched at his thick arm. It was wrapped around her neck. His other hand held an enormous knife to her delicate white throat!
Courtney gasped when she saw Allen handcuffed. The man holding her released her. She backed away as he turned and locked the door. Then he turned back towards her. She was trembling, her eyes wide.
"Go sit on the bed!" he ordered. The other man pushed Allen down in a chair. He looped a length of cord around Allen's waist, tying it off.
Courtney sat on the bed. She shivered and sobbed. She was hugging herself, crossing her arms over her chest.
Allen squirmed in the chair. He didn't like the hungry way these two big black men were looking at his pretty young wife.
"Yo! She's badd!" said the one that had handcuffed Allen. He had a scar on his cheek where he had be cut in a fight.
"No shit!" said the other one. He was tall and a little fat. They both looked as if they were older, maybe in their forties. The tall fat one was standing over Courtney. He was looking down her top. He could see her firm young breasts pressing up her thin white bra.
"You his girlfrien?" he asked.
"We're MARRIED!" Courtney replied. To her horror, the man sat on the bed next to her. The bed sagged under his weight. Courtney slid away from him. He was grabbing at her!
"Noooo!" she shrieked. She wriggled away, slapping at his big hands. He grabbed her arm. She tried to punch at him with her free hand. He grabbed it, and they wrestled. Then she heard Allen cry out. The man with a scar had hit him, in the stomach! He was bent over the chair, moaning and trying to catch his breath!
"NOOOO!" Courtney shrieked. "Allen! Don't hurt him! Please!"
"You gonna be nice?" the man holding her arms asked. Courtney continued to wrestle him. She had to get away. She had to help Allen.
"Hit him again, real hard. make it hurt!" the fat man urged.
"NOOO! Oh GOD!" Courtney burst into tears. She looked up at the man holding her arms.
"PLEASE don't hurt him!" she sobbed. "I'll do what you want!"
"No, don't, Courtney," Allen moaned. Then he cried out as the man with a scar slapped his head, hard.
"Shut up, muthafucka!" he said. There was a ripping noise as the man with a scar peeled off a length of duct tape. Allen twisted his head, but he was unable to keep the man from taping his mouth.
On the bed across from Allen, the fat man released Courtney's arms. She threw them over her chest again, sobbing.
"Bring me the cuffs!" she heard the fat man say. Courtney's eyes were wide as she saw the shiny chrome handcuffs dangling from his hand. He peeled her left arm away from her chest and slipped one of the bracelets around her left wrist. He noticed her wedding set. It looked new.
"Jus' married?" he said. His voice was suddenly gentle.
Courtney sniffed back a tear and nodded. "Today," she whimpered. "P... Please don't hurt me!" she sobbed as the man pushed her hands behind her and fastened the cuff to her other wrist. She struggled instinctively, trying to free her hands.
"Looks like we got us a fresh lil' bride!" the fat man said to the man with a scar.
The man with a scar bent down so his face was next to Allen's.
"We're gonna fuck yo' pretty lil' bride!" he gloated.
