Part 2

Again the vehicle stopped. The light was overwhelming , Sarah had to shield her eyes as she turned and sunk back into her seat.

“AAGGHHH! I just want to be getting fucked right now”!, she pouted as her sexual frustration checked in, to remind her of what her night was supposed to be like.

Thoughts of John laying on the bed slowly stroking his manhood as he anticipated her arrival crept into her mind.

Sarah’s thoughts quickly snapped back to the wall of light idling twenty meters away as the blinding rays shone down on her.

The rain was still constant, but with each passing moment its intensity eased.

Sarah could now hear herself think.

 “Are they waiting for me”? . “why are they just stopped there”?. “What the Fuck is going on!”?…….  “fuck it! I’m going out there!”.Even her thoughts sounded nervous to her.

She took the keys out of the ignition. Practising balling her fist over them, so the keys stuck out through the gaps of her fingers like metal claws.

 “I can throw down”, she told herself.

As her other hand reached for the door.

“…..Only if I have too, everything is fine I’m just being paranoid “. She reassured herself as she stepped out into the rain.

Standing on the road she suddenly felt exposed as she realised the car before her was much bigger than she had thought.

 The night sky, now lit up as if were day. Beams of fanning light shot out of the front of the vehicle, illuminating every drop of rain, which continued  to ease.

“CAN YOU STOP BLINDING ME PLEASE!.”  she called out to the wall of light. She could hear the engine idling as it hid in silhouette.  Sarah gestured for the lights to be lowered ,with the hand that wasn't baring a fist full of keys ready to strike.

Suddenly the engine roared as the truck sprung into life,  surging  on the spot like a bull at the gate ready to charge.

Sarah's heart began to pound in her chest, all of her senses seemed instantly heightened as adrenaline coursed through her veins. Once again the engine roared filling the now quite night with sound.

Sarah’s eyes darted around her surroundings desperately looking for a place to run.  Her car was stopped near the tree line of the forest, that dropped through the valley below.

She would be able to hide amongst the trees if she had to.

The cars engine roared again.

“Fuck this” she murmured.

 In an instant she had turned and darted towards to the treeline. She had just passed her car when Sarah heard a mans voice.

“Hey!” an unusually deep voice called out.

“I didn't mean to scare you”. “Are you alright”?    

Sarah stopped like a dear in the headlights,  dripping wet her active wear clung to her skin accentuating her figure. 

Her breath deepened and she could feel her sodden top cling to her breast as her chest began to rise and fall.

 She nervously peered towards the vehicle. As a figure slowly walked in front of the lights creating a silhouette of a man. He stood tall, his shoulders seemed impossibly broad. His jacket draped down to his boots and a hood covered his lowered head. The figures arms were by his side, Sarah could make out what looked like a length of rope that hung low from his hand.

“what the fuck”!, Sarah whispered to herself ..

“I’m alight,”.. “It felt like I was stuck in that storm for ever though” she chuckled nervously, her response couldn't hide her anxiety.

“Why wouldn't you lower the lights’?, Sarah’s fist gripped the keys so tightly as she spoke she felt as if they had merged with her.

“I wanted to be able to see you”. The tone of the mans voice seemed other worldly as he spoke.

“You’re not in a good spot”. “You’re lucky I came by’.

The man spoke softly and calmly despite this,  his voice carried through the rain with ease.

“What are you doing driving up here?” she asked him with urgency. As she tried to remain calm.

“Looking for you”! He responded after a long pause.

Sarah silently processed his words.

“D.. do I know you?” her voice was shaky as it left her.

A whisper left the shadowy figure, that carried over to her like the front of a storm. The word “NO” crashed over her. Bringing with it a wave of panic. Before she turned to run the figure, lifted his arm, almost as if presenting the rope to her. A steel shackle fell from its entanglement and hung in the rain, illuminated by the lights.

Sarah's  instincts kicked in she sprung into action bolting for the trees, determined to create as much distance between her and the man on the road.

It was pitch black and the ground was soft and wet as Sarah navigated the trees as best she could but every step forward came after a slip or trip.

Desperately, she pressed forward deeper into the forest.

Branches whipped her face as she tripped and fell to the ground. She stayed low for moment to catch her breath. Staring into the dark forest, she tired to gain her bearings. The trees rustled in the wind as she held her breath silently trying to hear signs of her attackers approach.

After a few moments she was convinced she was alone.

“Get up” she whispered to herself with urgency. 

Through the darkness Sarah could make out an opening in the trees. Picking herself up, she darted towards the clearing, as she broke through the trees the sky erupted in another display of light and sound. Simultaneously she tripped again stumbling over a fallen tree. She fumbled in the dark, feeling more fallen logs and branches as she tried to regain her footing. In that moment she remembered  her key chain had a small flashlight attached to it..

 Her immediate hesitation to use it, quickly faded away as she fell over yet again.

“It will make me move faster” she justified to herself self as she turned it on and lit up the forest floor and began mapping out her path with he tiny spot light.

“There you are!.

 A soft voice spoke with an almost affectionate tone that felt so familiar to her. Before she could react she felt a hood cover her face as he pounced on her like a beast on its prey.

Darkness consumed her.

The mans strength, stunned Sarah as she felt his muscles squeeze. Pinning her arms to her body, the air vanished from her lungs. In an instant she felt cold steel against the skin of her wrist, as shackles clamped down, locking her arms behind her back.

Sarah felt the rope that was attached to the shackles fall down the small of her back. The fibres of the rope felt almost warm compared to the steel that now pressing against her skin.

The man spun her around as if they were dancing, he pulled her tight against his body. As Sarah’s forehead pressed against his chest he felt as if he was carved from hickory rather than made of flesh. She felt his lips nuzzle into her neck as he began to weave the rope up and over her forearms. The shock had stunned Sarah as she stood there frozen she almost felt admiration at the deliberate precision of the mans movements as the rope weaved around her body, binding her torso.   

The hood over Sarah’s head seemed to heighten her sense of touch. The ropes burned against her skin as they pulled tight ensnaring her amongst the weaves.  With an unsettling ease the man controlled her movements as he began bind rope around her waist.   Sarah’s heart raced. She felt as if she was a fly in a web as he continued to entangle her.

He delicately picked her up as if she was weightless and pressed her against the trunk of a tree. The course bark pushing into her stung as the man lowered, positioning himself by her ass. One hand pressing her against  the tree the other forced her legs wide , before continuing to bind her legs. Pulling the rope from her waist he began to loop over he thighs. She could feel the intricate weaves gripping her flesh as he pulled the ropes tight, forming what felt like a harness around her. Slowly he stood kissing her body as he edge up behind her. He tugged at the tail of the rope fastening her binds. As he did, the loops around her thighs slid into position, sinking into the flesh around her flower. Blood rushed into her petals as a wave of warmth rushed from between her legs, consuming her body as it spread over her. A faint gasp managed to escape her lips.

Even though her heart was pounding, in that moment she felt a calm wash over her. As her mind left the reality she was in, and succumb to the physical sensations.

The rain trickled down through the canopy of the trees. Moisture seeped through the fabric of the hood that covered Sarah’s face. As she felt the rain press against her lips and pass into her mouth, she began to fight for air.

Reality came crashing in. Her blissful surrender pushed away by a primal instant to survive. With all her strength she began to thrash back against the impossible strength of the man. She kicked her legs back trying to find a weakness in the muscular armour of her attacker.

She felt the soft tissue of the mans groin as her heel dug into his body. The man let out a yelp that sounded like a wounded animal as he fell back, pulling at Sarah’s restraints as he did.

Her torso and arms where already heavily bound as she fell into the darkness. As she crashed onto the forest floor the earth felt soft and wet from the storm. Sarah was surprised by how warm the muddy surface felt as she desperately thrashed back and forth to try and loosen her binds.     

Seconds felt like hours.

Her arms battled against the ropes before her muffled voice cried out in desperation as she realised the ropes would not budge. Dread consumed her, as she felt her body go numb laying face down on the forest floor.  She could hear her attacker approaching. She felt the earth move as he stepped over her.

He knelt down , wrapping his arms around her as he did. His hands felt as hard as iron as they pressed against her body, scooping her up in their embrace as if she was a weighed nothing at all.

She felt tears dripping down her face as the man rocked back, bringing her crashing down into his lap.
