Lauren knew that her right arm wouldn't move even though she issued all the right commands. She had more luck with the other. The carpet was there, warm, silent, pushing against her knotted stomach. Her heart beat furiously and further inventory revealed a headache of mammoth proportions. She turned her head slowly, her neck screaming abuse as her nose rubbed into the carpet. Skin.
Smoke. She coughed painfully, the sound inside registering but traveling nowhere. Her heart leapt, adrenaline pumping furiously with nowhere to go. She touched the skin, warm and smooth and a distant rumble came from the darkness. She moistened her dust- encrusted lips, her tongue dry and swollen, a bland, thick taste in her mouth that reminded her of summer fields. She felt dizzy, swirling, crushed, the pain in her head throbbing mercilessly. Her temples ached and as she brought her hand close to her face to determine what may have happened she lost consciousness for the third time in the past ten minutes.
Jamie cowered behind his bed, parting the curtains less than an inch as he watched the two soldiers dragging the bodies across the driveway and hauling them into the back of the truck. Both soldiers laboured slowly, wincing in pain, stopping occasionally to re-tie tourniquets around each other's limbs. Their blood-spattered uniforms were tattered, hanging off their shoulders. Once the three bodies were loaded, he stared transfixed. Ceremoniously, almost reverently, they removed their comrades' shoes, measuring them against their own before exchanging them, grabbing ammunition and rifling through pockets. Pieces of the radio were thrown onto the truck, resting beside the bodies as though someone might need to contact them.
He knew what had happened because of the eerily silent crescendo of the two jets as they shot over the house moments before the explosion. The windows had rattled as the noise built up, the air vibrating with it's announcement of impending doom. But he could not remember the tell-tale high-pitched whine that often occurred in films as bombs are dropped from aircraft. He did remember however, the warmth that had burst into his room as the deafening roar of the explosion threw him to the ground.
The truck pulled away slowly, lumbering down the drive. The feet of the dead soldiers kicked comically up and down as the truck negotiated the new holes in the roadway. He let the curtain slip back to its usual position, silently hoping they all died a slow, painful death in the near future. His head hurt, especially around the cheek where he had been beaten with the rifle. The dried blood on the palm of his hand confirmed that he had been cut, although the flow seemed to have abated in the past hour. The dull pain in his legs and back reminded him of the kicks he had taken as he laid on the floor, naked, curled up like a baby, squirming to avoid their heavy boots.
Gripping the window sill he pulled himself up to a standing position, legs trembling with the pain of the beating and lack of food, and slumped onto the bed. More blood covered his sheets, although he had no explanation of how it had got there. He surveyed the room, noting that his clothes were where he had taken them off and hung them over his chair at riflepoint. His room was largely intact but something told him that the remainder of the house was a mess. He jerked as he thought of Emma and Lauren. He twisted on the bed in an attempt to see if they were on the truck, but it had long gone.
Several minutes later, he turned and struggled to sit upright, his belly aching from blows and his head still reeling from the beating it had taken. Disorientated, he stood and fell to the floor, crawling with deliberation across to his clothes and struggling to pull his pants up to his waist. A pair of sneakers lay by the door and, pleased with his foresight, he pulled them on, prepared to find the world collapsed outside his bedroom.
The door creaked unusually as he crawled like a dog out onto the marble corridor. Nobody was in sight. He clawed against the wall and pulled himself to a standing position, resigned to the fact that if he encountered any more soldiers there was nothing he could do. Dust and debris littered the floor. Walls bulged and cracked with plaster peeling, pictures hung at any angle except the horizontal. He wondered if the haze was smoke or dust as he cautiously rounded the corner into the lounge.
Smoke. Rising from the shrubbery around the pool and the garden furniture. The patio windows were gone, their frames twisted, one wrapped around the overturned piano. Glass crunched underfoot as he made his way into the room. The television stared blankly at the plasterboard that hung from the ceiling while a small chandelier hung dangerously from the joists and exposed electrical wiring. Remnants of ornaments littered the floor and he saw his own face staring happily out from underneath the brick and plaster that concealed the carpet. He kicked the photo, exposing Emma as well, her arm round her brother.
Both halves of the sofa were overturned, thrown against the wall, material hanging off them just like the soldiers' uniforms. He thought he would have found the two girls in the lounge. He knew the screams had come from the room. The muffled sound of Lauren crying quietly as the soldiers cheered haunted him, the lack of knowledge of her ordeal compounding his own imagination and torture at the hands of the soldiers. He turned and made his way to the kitchen, suprised to see that the utility room now existed without a wall while the kitchen itself was almost unscathed. Shaking badly, he opened the fridge and pulled out a yoghurt.
As he sat and ate he realised that the light wasn't working and determined that it had to be fixed. As the food digested, reality returned. Grabbing a carton of milk, he gulped quickly, his belly complaining at the sudden demand. The light was the least of his problems.
"Emma!" he shouted. He shook his head, wondering why he hadn't thought of shouting before, why food been more important than finding his sister. "Emma! Lauren! Hey!" Silence made him wonder if they had been put into the truck before he started to watch, taken to some other place to be further abused. With the milk in hand, he wandered into the dining room, shocked to see the window frames hanging from the walls and the glass cabinet shattered into firewood. Back in the lounge he crossed to the patio doors and peered out, dismay turning to anxiety as he felt his sphincter tighten. He sniffed, trying to hold back his tears. The pool had been filled in as though a comic book illustrator had taken his pen to it. Mounds of concrete were capped by debris from the garden. The water had disappeared somewhere, probably seeping through the wrecked patio. Plants lay tangled and smoldering. He saw the remnants of the sleeve of a uniform where the steps used to be, blood smeared on it. He looked away, frightened that he might encounter the arm that used to inhabit it.
A groan behind him brought him back to reality. He turned, fearful that it might be a soldier. Again, the noise, but no sign of its source. He walked slowly back towards the hallway, guessing that it came from outside the front door or near Lauren's bedroom. Just before the threshold he saw a finger, poking from underneath the sofa. It bled, cut from the glass that was strewn over the floor. Convinced that the owner of the finger and groan were one and the same he bent down, pain wracking his shoulders and head.
"Hey, it's me, Jamie!"
"Help! Get me out! Please!" said Emma, terror in her voice. The finger moved slightly as a wave of relief swept over him. Jamie kicked the shards of glass away from the hand and brushed the dust and filth off the sofa with a cushion before trying to lift. Luckily, it came up easily, pivoting on the edge so that he could hold it while his sister poked her head out into the daylight.
"Ow! Shit!" she screamed, cutting herself. She looked around, searching for a way out. Jamie watched his sister lying on her stomach, naked except for the dirty knickers that stretched around the tops of her thighs. "Oh God Jamie, what happened?" she cried, peering out from under the sofa.
"Wait! There's glass everywhere." he said, bending down to look into the confined space. He considered lifting her but knew that if he dropped her she would be cut to pieces. "I'm going to lower the sofa again and go and get you some shoes. Mind out!" he said, letting the sofa swing back down again. He entered her bedroom and found a pair of slippers but continued hunting until he found a stout pair of outdoor shoes. Raising the sofa again, he watched her swing round until she faced him. The darkness precluded much sight of her, and he was surprised to feel disappointed at not being able to see her naked body. She put the shoes on and gingerly crawled out of the confines of the sofa, eventually standing naked beside him, sobbing, her little breasts bloodied but still young and perfect. He felt her eyes as she looked down at his underpants. Suddenly, Emma turned to her brother and wrapped her arms around him, hugging him tight as though he would be sucked away by the wind at any moment. He felt her breathing stutter and was sure she was on the verge of tears. His own lips trembled with his love for his sister, a lump hard and unwelcome in his throat.
Releasing him from her grip, she turned back to the sofa. "I think Lori's under there as well. We'll have to roll it over her and then pick her up" said Emma, crying. Within a couple of minutes they had maneuvered the sofa so that it was back towards the middle of the room rather than hard against the wall. Lauren lay quite still on the clean carpet, ringed by debris and dust. Face down, her breathing was discernible. Jamie looked at her filthy body. Dust and small pieces of plaster covered her, sticking especially around her buttocks and the top of the backs of her legs. Blood had clearly oozed from a wound either in her forehead or above the hairline, matting her brown hair and trickling down her cheek. She looked ghastly.
"Pick her up. Come on, you get her feet!" shouted Jamie, lurching to her head. He grabbed her hands and lifted her, suprised that she wasn't as heavy as he had feared. Slowly, they carried her out of the lounge. Jamie glanced up occasionally, again concerned that in a moment of potential danger and terror he should be more concerned with looking at his sister's pussy as she struggled bow- legged along the hallway than with ensuring he didn't drop the girl. "Take her into her room and we'll leave her on the bed!" he commanded, the blood banging against his head almost blinding him with pain. He crashed through her door and just managed to lift her onto the bed before dropping to the floor.
"OK?" asked Emma.
"I feel like shit! What about you?"
"Dirty, but I think I'm OK. Jesus, Jamie, I'm scared. What if they come back?"
"Let's just get cleaned up and then we can worry about that."
"Shouldn't we do something with Lori first?" asked Emma.
"I've no idea what to do, but without getting dressed we can't do much at all. We should both have showers, get the muck off ourselves and then clean Lori up, I think." said Jamie, not waiting for a reply. They returned to Lauren's room less than ten minutes later, both with wet hair and in dressing gowns and sneakers.
"There's no electricity, you know" said Jamie.
"Yeah, my hairdryer wouldn't work" she replied, carrying the same bowl that she had used before. New cloths were laid on her bed next to her. Jamie helped to roll her over onto her back and then slipped across the bed to the opposite side. Emma dipped the cloth into the warm water and laid it against her forehead. She stirred slightly, moaning as Emma rinsed the cloth and repeated her cleansing.
Jamie looked over her body. Although her face looked dreadful, it would be fine after she had been cleaned up. But what really struck Jamie was that although she would never be a beautiful girl, she had the most wonderful body. Her breasts (presently covered in dust and blood) had the most perfect shape and delicate nipples. Her flat stomach gave way to the dark brown pubic hair that tried in vain to hide the shape of her labia. And he knew just what her long brown legs looked like from the days by the pool. He felt himself moving inside his underpants and made no attempt to take his eyes of her pussy except to watch his sister's hands move slowly from Lauren's face down across her shoulders and over her breasts.
Jamie looked up and his eyes met his sisters. "She's perfect" stated Jamie. Emma nodded and continued wiping her breasts, rinsing the cloth frequently as the grime and dust disappeared from Lauren's nipples. She paused at her navel, looked up and offered Jamie the cloth silently. With only the slightest hesitation, he took the it and moved between Lauren's legs, rinsing and cleaning lower and lower until he tenderly touched her labia with the cloth. He looked up at Lauren, wondering if it would bring her round. With no activity at all, he parted her legs slightly wider and wiped down below her vagina and out along her thighs, cutting through the dust before rinsing again. She had more pubic hair than his sister - a lot more. But nowhere near as much as the girls in the magazines he had under his bed. He liked the way he could see her lips and their wonderful smooth shape. His erection steadied, proud against his dressing gown and quite obvious to Emma. But the look of adoration and wonderment in her eyes as she looked at him gave all the licence he needed.
As he wiped more carefully his fingers strayed from the cloth and felt their way along the soft lips of her pussy. He wondered if all girls' pussy's were so red until he recalled once again the dreadful cries that had awakened him, made him race to his door. He remembered standing with the door opened less than an inch, his heart beating furiously as he listened to her cries. While he knew he should help he had decided that there was little he could do against five soldiers and simply stood there as the rhythmic strokes of the men pummeled her body. He had fled from the door half an hour later when two soldiers tumbled from the lounge, laughing, wine in hand as they made their way to his sister's room, dragging her out, fondling her lewdly as they escorted her to the lounge. The memory of his inability to act made him hang his head slightly as his cock pointed down towards the bed and his actions faltered.
"Let's put her to bed. Try putting some water on her forehead, that might bring her round" said Jamie, slipping off the bed. He helped Emma to pull the covers over her naked body, glancing briefly before her pussy disappeared from view. Emma bathed Lauren's head lightly, washing the final layers of grime from her cheeks and around her eyes.
"She moved! Look!" whispered Emma, grinning widely. Indeed Lauren was alive - as they knew - but not yet kicking. Her eyelids fluttered in recognition and then stopped once again.
"Come on, let her rest." suggested Jamie. "Why don't you stay with her for a few hours and then I'll take over. You do from now 'til ten o'clock, OK?"
"Hmm. Can you get some water for her to drink?"
Jamie left for the kitchen, grabbed some water and ice from the fridge and took another quick inventory of the house. He was surprised that nobody had come running over to see what had happened. Perhaps people were still hiding in their houses, unsure what to expect. His body ached even more now, the bruises colouring his face and arms, Lauren's blood over his dressing gown. He thought again of how she had looked. Serene, dirty yet so pure, perfectly formed, asleep and unaware that he had touched her pussy, had pushed a finger almost an inch inside her vagina. He thought of her breasts, so firm, shaped like a model's. His erection grew again. He reached inside his dressing gown and encouraged it, rubbing his thumb over the hardening purple head, pulling the skin back slightly. His imagination transported him back into the lounge and what she must have looked like as the soldiers had sex with her. The increased heart-rate bludgeoned his aching head.
During the morning, Lauren spent her time either avoiding Maria or looking at her watch, counting the minutes before four o'clock. Maria had carefully laid out some juvenile clothing for the girls - pale yellow floral print dresses with large white buttons down the front. Lauren held hers against her body and grimaced. Five years ago she could have worn it in mid-summer, but her tastes had moved on. But her dismay was tempered by the fact that Maria had delivered thin, almost see-though...
The following morning was busy for Lauren in comparison to others. She got up just before 8 o'clock, slipped naked from her bed and showered. She moved the growing pile of clothes from the doorway of the bathroom and added them to the two pairs of knickers she had discovered that previous night. Lauren ran her hand over the sofa, brining it to her nose to check whether any evidence remained of their activities. To her disappointment, there was none. A quick rummage through her clothes...
Less than forty-eight hours later, the whole country seemed to disintegrate. The government's regional commander in the north had rounded up a small number of reactionaries, and had intended, so the official line went, to bring them to trial. The suspects had been shackled and loaded into a truck for transportation south, and eventual questioning. News reports suggested that the truck had encountered problems on the journey, losing braking power as it descended into a valley. The driver and...
She looked up to see where they had been. The door towered above them, seemingly an impossible height from the ground. She was amazed how a single gunshot could bring out Olympic qualities in people. Aches penetrated her thoughts, especially in her lower back and Emma moved stiffly ahead into the dense growth. "Wait, don't go too far. Grab the case and let's make sure we're out of sight" she whispered. Turning back to Jamie, she nodded at him, pulling him roughly away from the tracks,...
The following day, Lauren got up early. There was no particular reason why she had to do so, but it seemed that the day was going to be wonderful, and she wanted to let everyone know that she was happy to be alive. The girls shopped in the morning, driving into Boquette to be ready for when the supermarket opened at ten thirty. Elizabeth had called the previous night and told her about the situation in the north. The news stories on the television had made things seem worse than they were,...
Saturday 22nd August, 11am Maurice Gisal drove very carefully round the hairpin bends that led from the valley up towards AnneMarie’s village, even though he had been up there many times in all seasons. On the back seat was a small suitcase containing every conceivable piece of clothing that Lauren might require during some emergency, plus her overnight things in case she had to stay, plus makeup, a present, camera, spare film and her Cookie Monster dressing gown which was again pressed into...
Saturday 8th August On Saturday morning, the whole family trooped round to the Renzer’s house, knocked on the side gate and went through to the back garden singing `yoo-hoo’. Claude Renzer came through the large sunroom and out onto the patio to welcome them warmly. He was a tall man, thin with greying hair, and certainly older than Maurice Gisal. Celestine Renzer, who joined him almost immediately, looked radiant, almost too well, petite to the extent of being dwarfed by her husband. Lauren...
"Very good, you two." said Maria, "that was great, well done. Have a rest and watch the next part of the show." She rose, revealing she wore knickers and the white bra. Lauren, in an attempt to be invisible, glanced back at the two youngsters, now cuddled up again together on the chair. She knew where Maria had gone, certain that she would return with the young girl who was meant to be in her protection. Lauren mentally shrugged. The girl wasn't a virgin and was more sexually active...
The heat persisted throughout that week, making Lauren irritable and short tempered. She lacked sleep and if she had not been able to snooze during the day she would have been a wreck. Felix called on Friday afternoon just after lunch to say that he would have to work late that night, but would be able to take her out on Saturday afternoon. She agreed, looking forward to his company and a break from the boredom of the household routine. After the usual salad for tea, she lolled on the sofa...
Emma grew worse by the hour. She excused herself at about five o'clock, making for the warmth of their bedroom. Lauren looked in on her every couple of hours, noting that she slept continually, hardly moving from one visit to the next. Jamie went to bed at about eleven o'clock, leaving Lauren and Maria down in the lounge, chatting. Lauren was amused at how he had changed that day. Instead of being shy and awkward around both herself and Maria, he was confident, almost cocky, and Lauren felt...
Lauren realised two things when she woke the following morning. Firstly that Emma hadn't had her medicine the night before and that she had made love to her brother while using the ointment inside her. Neither of the thoughts cheered her up, but she determined that after Elizabeth and Gustav departed she would make sure that Emma had another dose of the slimy stuff to get her back on the road to recovery. She swung out of bed and showered in her bathroom. It was before eight o'clock, which...
Lauren woke to find herself being shaken by the woman while Emma and Jamie looked down at her. "Wakey wakey, we're here. Follow me and I'll find out which rooms you three can have." She disappeared round the side of the truck, Jamie closely behind. Lauren swung off the back and landed hard on the ground, her limbs tight and aching. "Ow, shit!" she moaned. Looking up to find a target for her wrath, she discovered she was in the grounds of a wonderfully old house. Huge, grey flag stones...
"Lauren" Silence. "Lauren" echoed again, shaking. She opened her eyes, the morning light streaming through the window, dazzling her, silhouetting Maria. "Hey, wake up, here's coffee!" Lauren rolled onto her side, slowly recalling their love making the previous night. Her senses told her she was still naked, a distinctly unhealthy stickiness between her legs. "Oh, thanks. What time is it?" asked Lauren, avoiding her eyes. "About ten. Jamie's up already. Emma looks a lot better....
Four days later, Jamie returned and the girls went to the station to collect him. The train was a respectable thirty-five minutes late, and he was clearly tired from the short but arduous journey. Lauren introduced herself and was delighted that Emma beamed at Jamie all the way back to the house. He was almost the same height as Lauren, not muscular but certainly no wimp. He also had blonde hair, darker than Emma's, cut conservatively like his father's. Lauren guessed that he had yet to...
"What about your story?" prompted Lauren. "Well, she's you know, put her hand down here..." He motioned down between his legs. "And held your willy?" asked Lauren. "Well, only through my jeans." Emma sat up, one leg flat on the sofa and the other at ninety degrees, affording an unrestricted view of her little knickers. Lauren realised that she sat like that perfectly innocently, unaware that she was arousing him with a display of provocation greater than anything he had seen in...
"Is everyone allright?" asked Jamie, a look concern moving through surprise into lust. "We heard noises." "It was us. We've been playing games. Talking about the weather." said Lauren. "Oh right. Much easier with your clothes off, eh?" They ventured into the room. "Well, what about you two? Reading a novel?" "Yes!" said Julie, laughing. She too seemed to have had too much wine as well, and mixed with the sun and Jamie's wandering hands, was in a giggly mood. She sat on the...
Lauren had no recollection of leaving the lounge, of being cut from the chair and taken to her bedroom with the ropes still tight around her wrists. She vaguely knew that Emma had bathed her while she lay on her stomach on the bed, dousing the raging heat in her buttocks and thighs with so many cold flannels that the bed was decidedly wet. Fortunately, Lauren was unable to see the blood that Emma squeezed out of the flannel with every trip to the bathroom. Lauren cried relentlessly, sobbing...
The replacement of the police force in the north had been a bad move. The Nationalists had interpreted it as an undercover method of replacing the locally elected authority with soldiers who would do the government's dirty work. Students in the university towns of the north went on strike, and found some sympathy with those in the capital. Their demands escalated from the reinstatement of the police to better pay for state employees, a shorter working week and a minimum wage. The television...
Lauren let all the information sink in and floated to her room. She couldn't remember what he looked like, except that he needed a wash. She wondered what she would wear for tomorrow's lunch. Searching through her cupboards made her miserable - she had either T-shirts and her bikini, or jeans and sweaters. Nothing much in between. She thought for a moment and decided that she might drag Emma down to the clothes shop again and buy a couple of things. She glanced across the corridor into...
Lauren woke just after eight o'clock, alone and rested. She stretched lazily over to the light by her bed and flicked the switch. She looked at the mess of clothing on the floor. A few months ago she might have groaned inwardly as she recollected their activities but that morning a smile spread across her lips as she replayed the action and sensed again the sensuous and outrageous loving they had enjoyed. Her skirt and bra lay by the door, unceremoniously tossed away in the heat of the...
Emma squirmed. Lauren let go as she disappeared beneath the surface. Lauren watched her gracefully stroking under water, heading for the shallow end. They stepped out of the pool, Lauren following Emma across to the loungers by the patio door. The little girl's buttocks twitched as she tip-toed on the hot flagstones, and Lauren had a hard job restraining her hands as Emma bent forward to move the seat into the sun, her pussy hairless, perfect, clean and inviting. Lauren lay down, feeling the...
"I hear you're a disobedient girl!" bellowed the General, leaning forward to address her directly. "There's no room for disobedience in my outfit, you know." The chatter in the room died away. Lauren heard her heart pounding against the floor, the squelch of her pussy as Maria let go of her foot. She curled into a ball, exposing the tight cum-speckled slickness of her pussy to him. Trembling slightly, she coughed, catching her breath in between great gasps for air. "I think she needs...
Lauren exhaled, signaling acceptance of the invitation. Maria snuggled deeper against her chest, her cheek rubbing against Lauren's nipple. As if on cue, they both drained their glasses and placed them near the ladder. She caressed the side of Maria's head, feeling the long, straight hair between her fingers, playing with it, twirling it around and noting the smoothness of each strand. She felt fingers traversing her stomach, moving from her thigh, over her hip and up towards her breasts,...
As evening fell, the girls made their way cautiously out of the hotel lobby, turning left towards the center of town once again. Neon lights blazed in the distance as shops closed up for the night and the club life began in earnest. Music spilled from roadside bars and cafes as they threaded their way through the narrow, noisy backstreets. "Hey!" whispered Emma, "Do you think it's, you know, safe down here?" She looked around as though expecting to be mugged at any moment. Lauren...
Four days later, Lauren was fit enough to bathe and feed herself. She could walk around the house unaided, but always made sure she was within striking distance of something to hold onto if she became dizzy. She ventured out onto the remains of the patio, peering down into the rounded hole that had been the pool. The familiar heat remained, but the soothing waters had vanished. She sat in her shorts and T-Shirt on the lounger and surveyed her bruised limbs and the scene of damage. Without...
Turning the bath taps on, Lauren stripped, once again so pleased to be able to wander from her bedroom into the lounge and bathroom quite naked. At home she used to wear so many layers! The bath filled slowly as she stretched out on the sofa, her feet on the floor as her head rested on the arm so she could see the television. She rested her hands between her parted legs, pleased with the ready moisture that she found. Bringing her fingers to her nose, she reveled in the sweet scent of herself...
They sauntered up to the long dimly lit oak bar and climbed onto two stools, looking around all the time while trying to remain sophisticated. The barman glanced at Lauren and took a long look at Emma. "Two cokes, please!" said Lauren. The barman served them within seconds, bringing a little bowl of nuts and crackers with their drinks as he smiled at them both. Lauren asked for the dinner menu and they studied it, trying to determine from the French and Spanish descriptions exactly what...
Lauren kissed her lips lightly, tasting the suntan lotion on her tongue as she explored further, teasing her ears and neck and down quickly to her breasts. Nikki parted her legs and Lauren accepted the invitation to trail her tongue down her body, along her thigh and back round inside up to her vagina. Nikki grabbed her head and pushed her hard against her pussy, her actions rough and demanding as she bent her knees and Lauren knelt by her side. Lauren hadn't really thought about how she...
They scrambled across the room, Lauren locking her eyes on Stefan's red raw cock that jutted out in front of him. She felt good, happy to be naked and ready to have sex with any one of the three others, not caring who was watching. Emma's little buttocks hardly moved as she skipped to the sofa, spilling her wine over her legs. Lauren realised that they had all had a little to much to drink, vowing that maybe tomorrow they would just have coke as they wandered around Caracas. "No, no!"...
The world was quiet as Lauren woke, surveying the darkened room before slipping quietly out of bed. Naked, she sat on the toilet in her bathroom and wondered what she would do that day. Too many of her days took the same form: Breakfast, swim, shower, get dressed. Take Emma, maybe Jamie down to Boquette, buy something they don't really need. Maybe visit the supermarket. Maybe have lunch in the square. Back home for a snooze, swim, tea, watch the news. Lauren found her bikini bottoms, pulled...
Lauren had barely stuffed the plates and cutlery from the evening meal into the dishwasher when the patio door squeaked open. Lauren glanced at the clock in the kitchen, wondering if one of the staff had returned for something. Emma skipped off to answer it, and Lauren was surprised to hear her high-pitched delight and the voice of Felix. As she washed her hand she smiled, hoping that he would perhaps stay for a while. "Hey, what's cookin'?" he asked, sauntering into the kitchen,...
With the exception of regular phone calls, Elizabeth and Gustav left Lauren alone to run the house for days on end. As the days passed the troubles in the north grew and spread, the relationship souring between the government and the populace and every new day heralding further sources of discontent. The electricity supply failed for an hour on the day before the election, causing the children to abandon the house for the cooler patio. Two days before the election - and to Lauren's surprise...
Lauren side-stepped a difficult conversation with Emma with white lies and an unusually creative mind. She had been sitting cross- legged on her bed, wearing only her regulation shirt when Emma walked in, sat on the opposite bed and stared at her. "What'cha doin?" "Mending my knickers. My only pair of goddamn knickers" "What happened?" "I caught them in the door catch. Stupid, eh?" Actually, brilliant. Perhaps next time, though, she should prepare an excuse in advance. "Hmm. I...
Lauren woke with a start. The room eventually registered in her mind and she turned to look at the glowing radio alarm clock. It said 04:12. She tried to work out what that really meant in Swiss time and struggled to arrive at something close to noon. A reasonable hour to wake up. Her mouth was dry and she was pleased as she realised that she wouldn't have to debate whether to stay in bed and die of thirst or get up and die of cold. The room was warm and she pushed back the covers to leave...
"She's beautiful. They both are" said Peter. Lauren kissed his chest, signaling the end of their voyeuristic interlude. They entered her room noisily, the door swinging back against the wall. The wine made it to her bedside table, just as they both fell onto the silk bedspread. She tugged her bikini top off and flipped it dramatically onto the carpet, allowing Peter once again to drink in the pure wonder of her figure. He knelt on the bed, leaning to kiss her, pushing her down against the...
Three days later, Lauren gladly succumbed to Felix's daily phone calls and agreed to cook dinner for him at the house. She was still unsure what he did for a living although he was knowledgeable in commodities and sugar in particular. But he always seemed to have time for her, a flattering feeling that was uplifting and caused her to grin to herself during her little daydreams. His company did much in her mind as well to balance the wrong she felt when she thought of her experiences with...
Emma filled her bath, throwing two sachets of crystals in for good measure, shouting to Lauren that it was ready as she bent over the rim of the bath, whirling the water around with her hand. Lauren slipped into the room silently, taking hold of her hips and pulling her against her thighs. Emma stood and leaned back against her, swaying slightly. Lauren found the cord of the robe and undid the knot, pulling apart the sides and squeezing her small breasts in her hands. She kissed her ear as...
Back on the patio, Julie was almost suitably clothed. The thought was there, but Emma's spare bikini was meant for a girl of thirteen, not seventeen. The small patches of cloth barely covered her nipples, and the bikini bottom cut wickedly into her thighs, molding itself to her athletic build. Lauren slumped down onto the lounger, leaning back as she sipped the ice cold wine. She watched Jamie plying back and forth, turning effortlessly, length after length. Julie watched him with great...
Felix did indeed call the following morning. Lauren had forgotten and must have sounded particularly dense when she answered the phone. They exchanged pleasantries before she invited him for twelve thirty. He reminded her that he knew the place and would be on time. And, yes, he did eat everything. Emma was more excited than Lauren, fussing around the house looking for a tablecloth for the kitchen and serviettes that were hidden deep in the spare room. It was only later, just before lunch,...
Choosing what to wear proved to be the most difficult task for Lauren on Saturday morning. She wanted to wear something that would encourage Felix as they had a stroll through the local hills, but nothing that would shout 'take me now'. She knew that attack from mosquitoes was also a possibility so long sleeves were best. Jeans and her father's shirt won, with a full bra that would emphasise her shape under the loose fitting shirt. She showered and washed her hair before dressing and...
Election Day, and the country appeared to sleep late then vote often. The roads were almost empty, the cleaners deciding that they would take the day off and celebrate their thrill of a lifetime to register their vote. The television was surprisingly subdued, as though some governing body had imposed a blackout on all but the barest of facts. Although Lauren made a point of trying to catch the news at noon and again at five that day, there was nothing to be learned. Nikki's two week stay...
She felt the blunt end of the vibrator running over the material of her bikini following the lips of her pussy. She still thought it was about the size of him but there was no elasticity at all. Her fear returned as he shuffled around between her legs, pulled the bikini bottom down her legs slightly and then pulled the material to one side. He placed the great tool at the entrance to her pussy before pushing slowly. It entered her with some difficulty, its width pushing her lips apart as it...
There was relief and delight not just at finally opening the two huge front doors of the house, but with the fact that everything appeared to have been left undisturbed. In their month away, Jamie found that the lounge windows had been boarded up and the woodwork surround had been replaced and painted, probably in preparation for new glass. "Looks like the landlord has been and done a few repairs." he announced passing through the kitchen. While Julie, Juan and Peter slowly followed them...
Wednesday 5th August Lauren naturally spent the early part of the week bringing Nikki up to date with her exploits at the studio, revealing more and more of the details as Nikki subjected her to relentless questioning. In fact, by the end of Tuesday, Nikki said that the afternoon sounded like a story of fairy-tale romance; Champagne, bright lights and beautiful people. However, Lauren’s narrative was enough to provide Nikki with a graphic picture of the afternoon and a noticeable damp spot...
Two days later, Lauren swung the car into the long term parking space, the effort registering on the muscles in her arms which still ached from carrying the suitcases to the car and her swimming the day before. Their flight was at four thirty that afternoon, and they had arrived with several hours to spare. She made sure she had locked the car and (to her own surprise) wrote down the number of the space for her return. The coach whisked them (at a leisurely San Falino pace) to the...
"Euro-bitch!" hissed a soldier, tweaking her nipples. She writhed on the stool, her neck now painful and the pressure of the blood in her head frightening. Hands explored, invading private territory. Rough hands, greasy with labour, unrefined. "Leave me alone you bastards!" she moaned, eyes still closed. She opened her mouth to shout but froze. The cold, clinical edge of steel on her cheek sent shivers through her teenage body, disrupting her breathing and causing her heart to beat...
Gustav called the next morning, suprising Lauren since it was usually Elizabeth's job to deal with household matters. He stated, in a very business-like manner, that Lauren had been given control of settling all bills, household accounts, credit cards and would be contacted by their bank in the next few days for specimens of her signature. He had also written to her to outline what they thought were the best routes out of the country if trouble struck. Twice he launched into a speech of how...
They caught their one o'clock plane and arrived home as darkness fell just after six thirty on Sunday evening. Elizabeth was home, watching television with Jamie as they dragged their suitcases into the house. The evening news was grim, and as they listened Lauren realised that they were lucky to have any electricity. The gloss on her assignment in San Falino was fading fast; the uncollected sacks of rubbish she had seen in San Serra now making sense along with the darkened villages they had...
Nikki's visit brought home to Lauren not only the strength of their friendship but also the value of Nikki's advice. She had been correct about many things in their teen years - especially the character of Lauren's few boyfriends - so that she regarded her as level headed in times of crisis. As a result, two decisions were simple to make. Firstly, that she should try and convince Emma that their night of love-making was a one-time occurrence that resulted from her fear of storms, and...
Sunday 30th August, 7pm Mike sat with his parents in the lounge as darkness descended. He face had grown pale since there had been mention of the video at Nikki’s house. He and his parents looked thankful for the gathering gloom, concealing their worries, giving each of them a place to hide. His mother broke the silence. “Just because Andre found a video doesn’t mean that Lauren has been involved in one. All we think is that she may have had some pictures taken.” “What’s this about...
"Oh thanks, I owe you one!" said Emma, smiling at Cressida. "Can I call a cab from here?" "Why the secrecy?" asked Cressida. "It's a surprise for our au pair!" The girls looked up the number for the local cab company and demanded service right away. After a delay of only thirty minutes, Emma stepped into a battered green and white vehicle that, according to a small plastic sign on the roof, was a taxi. It spluttered away to her destination. "Nice taxi, yes?" asked the driver as...
Autumnal winds and rain began to intrude upon the blazing heat of the sun, providing a number of spectacular thunderstorms during Lauren's first week in San Falino. Boquette appeared to at least have its fair share as the clear morning sky gave way to huge grey clouds, followed by rain that fell so suddenly that Lauren and Emma had to scurry indoors like frightened cats. She dried herself in her room and got out of the wet jeans that she had worn, hanging them over the bath to dry. For a...
Lauren lazed in the bath for almost an hour, adding hot water whenever she felt it had cooled too much. She loved the thought of adding hot water without the tank running out, or having to turn the boiler on specially to have a bath. Moreover, the thought of having her own bathroom was marvelous. She could keep all her stuff where she could see it, maybe buy some local products and try them out if there were such things. She swished the water over her shoulders and looked down at the droplets...
Sunday 30th August, 4pm Maurice Gisal had spent the majority of the afternoon in the lounge. He had been having a quick snooze if anyone had asked, although Daniele knew that he would sleep for hours if left alone. When the children were young, a snooze on the sofa was a luxury, and in those days they had rarely needed it. But now with the children older, it still seemed a little naughty, but a quick sleep after lunch certainly had a fortifying effect. He usually read a book for a while...
Thursday 13th August Nikki and Lauren discussed the idea of Lauren returning to Marlene’s for another session of photos. Nikki said she thought it sounded like fun, especially since Lauren had clearly enjoyed herself so much. She was also happy to go along with the story of Lauren staying at her house for the night - something that was not uncommon and therefore was unlikely to be discovered. Both girls knew that sometime Lauren would have to do the same for her, and that’s what friends were...
Sunday 30th August, 8am The car really did arrive at seven fifty in the morning. Lauren had hoped that it might fail to turn up so that they could say they tried, but go back to bed and enjoy a normal Sunday. Nikki said if it was late she would be really angry as she could have stayed in bed later. They had time for a cup of coffee and some toast before leaving a short message for her parents and gently closing the back door. Rebecca was sitting in the front passenger seat, clearly so...
Thursday 23rd July Three days later, Lauren made the journey back to Kristal’s house on the bus, arriving at about two o’clock. She rang the doorbell and was interested to see that Kristal looked much smarter than she had last time, wearing tights or stockings, an ivory coloured skirt and white blouse with a small, matching ivory waistcoat buttoned down the middle. Her shoes looked like her mother’s which were made by Bally. Her long dark hair was pinned up, allowing a few strands to...
Lauren waded through her schoolbooks that were lying on her bedroom floor, kicking the algebra textbook through the open window. She gave herself top marks for accuracy and floated into bed, kissing her teddy bears goodnight as the light turned itself off and the passengers pulled away from the train. Jim waved to her from the platform and she smiled. The passengers returned a few moments later, knocking on her bedroom door. She pulled the covers to her chin and grimaced as the banging...
