Gail Locksley Running Horse lay alone in her bed. Her second husband David had the children at his parents' home on the Lakota Reservation. The family left two weeks ago. Her loins felt as empty as the house and bed.
Gail drifted off to sleep missing her first, murdered husband Fred. He knew ways that Gail wanted sex that David would not consider. A movement in the room woke Gail. The light of the full moon left few dark spots in the bedroom. She heard the sound of footsteps in the corner. She looked and saw no one there. The sound continued.
The measured tread struck a hidden memory. It was the same pace used by her dead husband. It was used when he knew Gail did not want to make love, or even have sex. It was when she wanted to be violated, abused, raped.
Gail lay under the sheet. The measured steps came closer. Now she could hear his breathing. It was the sound of lust and power over a woman. No, it was a dream. Fred was murdered four years ago. As much as she missed him in that time, she never used her witch's powers to bring him back. He was at peace.
So it was a dream. She dreamt Fred was standing over her. His labored breath was loud in her ears.
Gail learned she was not dreaming when her quilt was pulled from her bed. Fear invaded her mind. She could not see her attacker. Was it an enemy using an invisibility charm?
The force rolled her over on her back. A spirit hand covered her mouth and nose. She was on the edge of passing out. The hand moved and she gulped air into her lungs. The sound of ripping cloth made her look down.
Her nightgown ripped from top to bottom. This exposed her breasts, belly and groin. The spirit rolled her on her belly and pulled her gown down to tangle her arms, a technique used by cops for ages.
Gail was rolled back to a face up position. She tried to get up and was struck with a backhanded blow.
"If you want to suffer as little pain as possible, you better do as you are told."
Mother Goddess, it was Fred. His life essence was back. Gail almost had an orgasm just wondering if it was true are a very real dream.
Gail suddenly realized what she missed with David. David was a gentle man with a gentle touch. David took his time to bring Gail to her orgasms.
Fred was the same way. But, there were times when Gail wanted, and needed violence, abuse, even rape. Fred filled these desires, almost to the point of injury. And Gail loved him for it. This did not happen often, but they did happen.
Gail struggled again. This earned her another slap in the face. Her heart quickened with the pain. A small coppery taste told her the last blow split her lips.
