Chapter 11: Where do nice things come from?

I was the last scheduled "customer" for Beth this day. I headed off for my equipment room and she was left to tidy up the room after our tryst. I had a mound of small duties to attend to, but nothing that would keep me from watching the rest of the women after their first day.

Lucinda came back in shortly after Beth. Charlotte was in the room ahead of them. Kristin returned next, walking slowly and carefully. "Oh, fuck me!" were the first words out of her mouth as she tried to sit and had a hard time trying to find somewhere to sit comfortably. "I don't think I've ever had this much cock in my ass, while I was sober. God, I could use a drink!"

Charlotte replied: "Well, Ah think y'all deserve one. Thet first day's a bitch. Course it ain't nowhere's as bad as things used ta was, but it still ain't no fun. Ah'll fix y'all a good one. Y'all like whiskey er vodka, dear?

Kristin replied: "Vodka and lots of it, please?"

While Charlotte was busy behind the curtain, Lucinda approached Kristin with a towel in her hand. "Take off yer flimsy things and then wash them a little soon as you come back. They can dry over night thet way and they don' take more wear and tear than they gotta, hey? We's s'posed to get laundry service, but sometimes our things, they don' come back right away." She wound the towel into a circle and placed it on the seat of a chair. "Here!" she told Kristin "Sit on this for a little while, until the pain gets a little better. It'll get worse for the next few days and after a while it only hurts a little."

Kristin was just beginning to enjoy her drink when Dana and Patty returned to the room. Patty helped Dana out of her chador and gown and headed toward their lockers. Dana tried to sit at the table and burst into tears. She wound up standing, hiding her face with her hands as she sobbed: "It's horrible. God, I've never been in so much pain. Damn him... , I hurt." Her sobs rose in volume as the others looked uncomprehendingly at Patty as she joined the others at table. Charlotte announced: "Ah think y'all could use a drink." Again she disappeared behind the curtain.

Patty winced as she sat. She stared at the table and spoke to no one in particular. "I thought I was getting the raw end of the deal when he came in her mouth and I had to suck him off while she got to sit there like a queen at dinner. Then I had to eat her out, while he finished off the champagne and he started in on my asshole. Damn, he fucked me till I thought his dick had turned into a white hot poker. I never... , ever... , thought I'd be glad to have a man come in my ass, but I was sure begging for it tonight." She paused to take a deep breath.

"Then he tried to make Dana lick my shit off his cock. I don't think he really was going to make her do it, you know? He just wanted her to have to tell him no. When she refused, he got her bent over the desk and started to use that fucking swagger stick on her. He just kept on hitting her and hitting her and when she couldn't scream any more, he made me go get a towel and wash him off. Then he pushed himself into her pussy and starting fucking her. He told me to kneel beside him or I could go to Dr. Arkan. I don't know whether I should feel guilty about it or not, but I was just damn glad it wasn't me he'd been whacking with that thing. I tried to tell him to fuck her easy, but he just turned around and whacked me on my tit." A bruise turning to purple over her left breast bore witness to her story. "When he was ready to come, he stuck his cock in my mouth and blew his load down my throat. I damn near puked, but I figured blowing chunks on the General would get me in trouble, so I kept it down... barely. We both had to kneel in front of him and thank him. And then we got to come back here." She shook her head and tears came to the edges of her lashes, as she asked no one in particular: "Wasn't that fun?" Then she covered her face in her hands and shook silently for a few moments.

Charlotte placed a whiskey in front of Dana and Patty. She spoke to Beth: "Ah'm sorry honey, there ain't no more cokes. We could make some tea... or coffee?"

"Where does all that stuff behind the curtain come from?" asked Beth.

Lucinda smiled at her and said: "We're here to take care of the officers, hey? But there's a lot more enlisted men than officers and there's always a way to trade for what you wan'. The officers, they get it for free if they got a chit, but the enlisted men, they gotta give better than what they get."

Kristin shook herself and asked: "You mean somebody sold her ass for Coca Cola?"

Lucinda smiled took on a hint of meanness. "Yeah!" she said: "My ass! I hope you liked them. I had to take on all three of them to get real Coca Cola's."

Dana broke out of her stupor to ask: "What did you have to do to get this liquor in an Islamic country? I can't even imagine. This must be rarer than hen's teeth."

Lucinda answered: "Those were a three way for Su Li an me with an officer that didn' have no chits. But we got four bottles. There's not much left, but it's been good while it lasted."

Patty looked at Beth and asked: "How are you holding up, Beth? After that rape in the arena I was scared you might hurt yourself. You only had the two customers today, but I didn't think you could do even that. You look like you're taking this a whole lot better than I ever thought you would. What's your secret?"

Beth blushed and looked at the faces staring at her. "Well..." she said, "my first guy was Hakam. He's like an old sargent or something? I was scared spitless. I thought for sure he was gonna rape me like yesterday and I didn't know how I was gonna make it, but he didn't. He didn't even touch me... , not... down there I mean." She burst out giggling and then her words came in a rush: "He wanted to play Monopoly! I mean it. The board was all in Arabic or something and the money was all funny, but we used to play it all the time at home and the colors for the money were the same and I knew what the properties were worth, even if the writing on the money was funny. I had to trust him to read the Chance cards for me, but..." She paused for a breath.

"He came in with that board game under his arm and I didn't know what to think, 'cause he made me take off my gown... I was in the millionaire room, you know? And, then he made me march around the room in my underwear and I was pretty scared when he made me take off my underwear and keep my high heels on and he made me bend over and grab my ankles. And he got up and sniffed me... , you know, down there! And, I thought he was gonna rape me and then he just laughed and started laying the game out on the bed. I don't know what he was saying, but I know how to play Monopoly and that's what we did. At the very end of his time, he made me bend over in front of him, again... and he was sniffing me again and he took out his thing and jerked off on the floor. I thought that was really gross, but at least it wasn't all over me. And then he put it back in his pants and took his game and left. I wiped up his mess and straightened the bed and that was that. Oh! And I made sure to get his chit, you know... , like you said to do, Charlotte."

Kristin said: "Geez, we should all have it so rough. So, how was the second guy?"

Beth smiled. "It was Camera Guy!" she said. She went on to tell a tasteful version of our time together. I almost didn't recognize myself as the knightly character she portrayed. I did notice that she forgot to mention my "order" about asking Patty for help in shaving.

The envy on Kristin's face was obvious. "I can't wait for my turn with Camera Guy, if he's as good as you say. The guys I had didn't even speak English and I don't think they cared whether I was a woman or a sheep. They just wanted me naked and on my knees with my butt in the air. Hell, the last guy didn't even get undressed. I thought I was gonna bleed from the way his belt buckle kept punching into me. I could use a good fuck with a nice guy, especially one knows how to use his tongue."
