Chapter 16

He must have heard me pull in. I saw him come outside and hurry over to the car with a worried look on his face. I opened my door as he got there and I sobbed, "I'm sorry Dennis. They didn't give me a chance to call you and tell you where I was."

He leaned in and tried to kiss me but I stopped him. "No! Not now, not like this. Honey I need help to get inside, but I ... oh god Dennis, I can't even tell you!"

He squatted down and took my hand and said, "It's okay Amanda. Do you need to go to the hospital?"

I just shook my head. Even if I did I couldn't. I couldn't tell anyone what had happened to me.

He asked, "Do you want me to try to carry you?"

I smiled and shook my head. He was not a big man. He didn't weigh much more than I did.

I sighed and said, "No Dennis. Just let me lean on you."

I groaned in pain as I turned to get out. My whole body hurt. My breasts were on fire. My throat hurt so bad that I was surprised that I could talk. But my stomach, my pelvic region, I felt like I had been stabbed in the pussy and up through my guts with a rusty file.

I struggled to stand and Dennis supported me as I walked towards the house taking baby steps. I guess I had been numb when I was walking to the car from that table that they raped me on. It hadn't been this bad then. Sitting still on the drive home I must have tightened up. I could hardly move now.

He supported me all the way to the bathroom and started a hot bath in our Jacuzzi tub which I almost never used. I sure needed it now.

He helped me undress and I saw him blanch when he saw the bruises on my breasts and thighs from the rough handling I had received all night. He didn't say anything though. He didn't ask me anything. He helped me into the tub and then he went out and came back with a glass of water and some muscle relaxers that he had left over after he hurt his back a few months ago.

I took those and three Tylenols too. I sat in the tub and cried quietly for a while and he sat on the side and gently washed me and washed my hair. I didn't realize that so many men had dribbled their cum in my hair tonight.

When the smell of cum was gone I lay back and let the warm jets of the Jacuzzi massage me gently. Dennis stood up and said he would be right back. He returned a minute later with a glass of Nathan's cheap wine and he had turned on some soft music in the bedroom.

I saw the worried look on his face and I said, "I'm going to be alright Dennis. It may take a day or two, but I'm not hurt. I don't suppose that asshole called you and told you where I was?"

Dennis shook his head.

I said, "I'm sorry. He never gave me a chance to call. He met me as I was on the way out of the building after school and made me drive him back to that backyard café I told you about. I didn't know I was going to spend the night there. They made me undress as soon as I got there and I spent the evening tied to a table getting raped by half the black men in town. I don't even know how many it was!"

"I never even thought about you not knowing where I was until I was on the way home and my purse was in the trunk of the car. I'm sorry baby."

He said, "It's okay Amanda. Just relax now. And take it easy on the wine. You aren't supposed to drink alcohol with those pills."

Maybe not, but it was working. I suddenly realized that the pain was nearly gone! I had trouble relaxing though. Every time I lay my head back and closed my eyes I saw huge black cocks coming at me.

Between the soft music and the wine and the drugs I finally relaxed. I sat in the tub until the water was cool and Dennis dried me off and helped me to stand at the sink so that I could brush my teeth for a very long time.

Then he helped me to bed. I was trying to explain to him that I couldn't sleep but the next thing I knew it was after ten in the morning. I woke up with a start and saw how late it was and I started to throw back the covers and get up. As soon as I moved the pain hit me.

Dennis had been sitting in a chair by the window and I hadn't even seen him. He got up and helped me to my feet and I leaned on him as I made my way to the bathroom. I sat on the toilet and he told me that he had called us both in sick this morning.

I relieved myself and he helped me to the sink so that I could wash my hands and brush my teeth again. Then he helped me back into bed.

He gave me more Tylenol and some cold water and offered me breakfast but I couldn't stand the idea of swallowing anything. I had slept for ten hours but as soon as I took the pills I went back to sleep and slept until early afternoon.

When I awoke this time I managed to get up and go to the bathroom on my own. I went back out to the bedroom and decided that what I needed was a couple more Tylenol and then I needed to walk around a little to loosen up.

Dennis heard me moving around and came in to see how I was doing. He made me go out to the kitchen and he forced some soup into me. It actually helped! After I ate the soup I walked around the house a little more and after a little exercise I was feeling a lot better.

We just sat around the house together the rest of the afternoon and that evening. He forced me to take another bath and it seemed to help, as did the wine.

I didn't think I would be able to sleep that night after being in bed for so long. I did though. Dennis put me to bed and brought me a cup of soup and when I had finished the soup I went right to sleep.

The next morning he looked worse than I did. Well, except for the black and blue marks on my breasts. He had hardly slept since I got home. He wanted me to call in sick again but I felt able to go to work. It isn't like I did anything strenuous. I was going to have to put Larry off for a couple of days. He was just going to have to understand. And if Nathan came to my office he was going to have to be put off too. My body just couldn't tolerate being abused anymore for a while.

I got up and took a shower and some more Tylenol. I put on one of those slutty dresses and when I went out to the kitchen Dennis had made coffee and that was just what I needed. I drank one cup and took another with me.

I kissed him and hugged him and thanked him for being so nice. I suddenly realized that he was still home. I guess I wasn't thinking too clearly yet. He always went in before I did. I asked him if he was going to work today and he said that he had something to take care of first.

I grabbed my purse and drove to school. It wasn't until I got to school and was faced with that walk through the mob of students that I had second thoughts. I couldn't just sit here in my car though. I got out and grabbed my purse and my coffee and headed for the door.

There were more than a few hands on my ass as I threaded my way through the crowd of kids. Some of them still made way for me but I guess word was out and a lot of them left me just enough room to get by and grabbed my ass as I went past.

I was half way through the crowd when Nathan stopped me again. "I missed you yesterday Amanda. Weren't you feeling well yesterday?"

I looked up and he was almost straight in front of me. I responded, "No Nathan, I had a rough evening the day before and I needed time to recuperate. I still do."

He just smiled and said, "Well I'm glad you're feeling a little better. You sure look hot in that dress. If I can make a suggestion though, I think you would look much better if you unbuttoned one more button at the top."

I looked down. I had left enough buttons open this morning to satisfy him. I suppose that he was going to punish me for calling in sick yesterday. Or maybe he just wanted to show off in front of his friends. I was already exposing far too much cleavage. There wasn't going to be a battle of wills though. I knew I would lose. I unbuttoned another button and he reached up, for the amusement of his friends I'm sure, and spread my dress open casually. My dress opened up almost to the point that my nipples were exposed.

He looked down and faked a look of surprise and said, "Gee Amanda, I guess you did have a rough night. Those are some ugly bruises on your tits this morning."

There wasn't anything I could say to that. I heard the snickers all around me as I turned and made my way the rest of the way to the front door.

The guard was there smirking at me and staring at my breasts as he opened the door for me. I ignored him and walked to my office. Larry was standing there waiting impatiently as I put my purse and my coffee down. I looked up at him and said, "I can't today Larry. Maybe not for a couple of days. I was gang raped for almost seven hours the night before last and I am in a lot of pain. I'm sorry but you are going to have to take a rain check."

Much to my surprise he actually seemed concerned. He got me a fresh coffee and I buttoned the button that Nathan had made me unbutton outside. Then we got right to work on the reports that had backed up from yesterday and the reports from this morning.

He hadn't got much done yesterday. Larry was not what you would call a self starter. So there wasn't a lot to go over today. We got through it by the time we had to start seeing kids and once I started work and stopped concentrating so much on what hurt I started feeling better.

At noon I got a scare when Terrill came in to my office. He was just dropping off two more DVDs though. One was a short one of me and the two young boys that Nathan had brought to my office the other day. The other was the DVD from the night before last at Cobb's. I didn't think that there was a chance in hell that I would ever want to see it, but I took it.

I worked through lunch and after lunch I found that if I got up and walked around between counseling sessions I felt a little better. I didn't tighten up so much.

By the time I left at four I was feeling much more normal. Not ready for a bout of rough sex, but able to function normally otherwise.

I went home and got undressed and did some laundry. I started a casserole for supper and I noticed that the wine was all gone. I called Dennis and told him I was feeling better and had supper in the oven and asked him to stop and pick up some wine. I suggested that maybe he could ask for some help selecting it since neither of us knew wine from Kool-Aid.

He sounded relieved when we talked and he promised to bring home some wine. We talked for a few minutes and then he got a phone call and we hung up.

He was home an hour later with a half a dozen bottles of wine and a decent corkscrew. He also bought some cheap wine glasses.

I hugged him and told him how sorry I was and he told me that if I didn't stop saying that he was going put some bruises on my ass. I really couldn't believe that he was taking this so well. But I was so glad that he was. There was no question in my mind that we had both changed. And there was no question that I liked the new Dennis a lot more. I wasn't so sure about the new me.

I washed the wine glasses while Dennis told me what he had learned about wine from the man at the wine store. I put the glasses out while the wine was allowed to breathe. I didn't know it had to do that!

While the wine was breathing I put dinner on the table and we sat down to eat. We started with a toast with the wine. This was not expensive wine. None of the bottles had cost more than fifteen dollars. But the difference between this and the stuff that Nathan had made me buy was indescribable. This stuff actually tasted good!

We had a long slow supper and I told Dennis about my relatively easy day. There was just that one moment of humiliation on the way into the building and I had easily talked Larry into leaving me alone. I mentioned that I had the DVD that they had made that evening and before Dennis could say anything I said, "Honey, I'm okay. You can watch it if you want and I won't mind. Or you can wait a day or two and I'll watch it with you. I can't watch it yet though. At least not until, I don't know, I guess not until I'm back to normal."

"Why don't you wait until this weekend and maybe we can have some fun with it?"

He looked skeptical. I smiled and said, "Honey, look at me. The bruises are almost gone." It was easy to see since I was sitting there naked.

We sipped our wine and I thought, "I can tolerate a little abuse. I probably have it coming after what I did. But Jesus, I have to talk some sense into that kid. I can't do that again."

I realized I was getting tears in my eyes and I forced myself to stop thinking about Nathan and his cruelty.

After dinner Dennis suggested that we take a walk around the block since walking seemed to be helping me. I thought that was a good idea. The only exercise I seemed to get lately was sex.

After we cleaned up the kitchen I put on some shorts and a loose top and sandals and we went for a nice long walk. We were gone for an hour and a half. I didn't think we had to worry about anyone dropping by for a day or two. Nathan knew how sore I was.

When we got home it was almost bed time. We went in and got ready for bed and I felt so much better that after a brief struggle I was able to pull Dennis's pajama bottoms down and give him a nice blowjob.

I didn't use my throat. I just sucked him and used my hands and at the end I did that little thing with my finger on his asshole that I had discovered by accident the last time. I know that neither of us had realized how sensitive he was there.

After he came he offered to return the favor but I asked him to wait another day or two. We cuddled up and went to sleep and I didn't even go brush my teeth again. It seemed like the worse things got for me, and the more supportive Dennis was, the more I was falling in love with him all over again. It was a shame that it had taken something like this to make me realize how much I loved him. It was also a shame that we couldn't go back to having a normal life because of a sixteen year old kid.

The next morning everything seemed back to normal. I didn't need any Tylenol and I could hardly see any bruises on my body. There was one small one on my inner thigh. That was all I could find.
