Chapter 6

“Ox,” Zeke said, “we’re gonna do her here on the floor in front of the fireplace. Real romantic-like.” He put the jug in front of Tara. Feed her some of that stuff and tie up the kid here. Turn his chair so he has a real good view. I gotta piss.”

As Zeke was getting up, Tara picked up the jug. Zeke grinned at her and turned away. Tara did the same thing Ox and I had just done, not actually drinking. She then made the same choking and hacking sounds she had made before. “Good girl,” Zeke yelled as he left the room.

Ox came over to me. “I gotta tie you up Seth, but I ain’t makin’ the knots tight. You should be able to work them loose in a couple of minutes. Just don’t let Zeke see you.”

He finished with the rope and turned my chair so I was facing the floor where Zeke had indicated he was going to rape Tara.

Zeke was back in no time. “It’s stopped snowing and the wind’s died down some. If anyone needs to use the facilities, there’s a privy out back. It’s damn cold out there, though, so you can just use the bucket near the back door like I did. Don’t get any foolish notions. One of us will take you there and make sure you just do your business and come back.

“Now, Ox, you untie our little fuck-toy here. It’s time to have some fun.”

Ox untied Tara and helped her out of her chair. Zeke pulled a chair next to me and sat down. He gave me his evil, ugly smile and said, “How good do know this girl, kid? Ever fuck her?”

“No,” I said, trying not to choke on the fumes of his breath.

“Ever seen her naked?”

“No.”

“Well you ain’t gonna fuck her tonight, neither, but you’re gonna see a hell of a show. Time to strip for us baby,” he called to Tara. “Do it real nice and sexy slow. I wanna get a real good look at you before I decide whether I’m gonna fuck your pussy, your ass, or your mouth first.”

Tara just stood there in the middle of the room. She was crying again. It broke my heart. Ox was standing near her with his head down. Fat lot of help he is, I thought to myself. How can I stop this?

“You gonna stand there cryin’ like a little girl,” Zeke roared, or are you gonna give us a show?”

Tara was trembling with fear.

“Maybe I can persuade you, sweetheart,” Zeke said, pulling his gun out of his belt. He cocked it and put it against my head.

“Zeke, don’t kill him,” Ox said.

“Why the fuck not, moron?” Sooner or later I’m gonna kill both of them. Are you so damn simple that you think I’m gonna let them walk out of here and go tell the sheriff what we did to them? Hell no, I’m gonna shoot him now if she don’t get naked. If she starts actin’ like she’s in the party mood she should be in, I’ll be as good as my word and let him watch while we fuck her. When we’re done with her, I’ll shoot both of them. We’ll throw ‘em outside so they don’t stink up the place, and when the snow melts some, you’ll bury ‘em.”
