Lynn could hardly believe the change that had taken place in Earl when he and Rudy returned from Mexico. Both of them had entered the hotel wearing broad smiles, and Earl had bent down over where she sat at Virgin's kitchen table, raising her chin with his finger, then kissing her full on the mouth.
"We're home from the wars, pussycat," he said, holding her face erect, smiling, then kissing her again while Rudy performed a similar act of greeting with Virgin. "And wow, Baby, we took the enemy like wild. So get your goodies together… everything, 'cause we're moving out… and tonight we play smuggler… to the tune of two hundred fat ones!"
Lynn twisted in her chair to better see her husband. He was still smiling down at her with a wide, happy mouth, as if there had never been the slightest trace of animosity between them. His mood and portrayal of same had astonished her completely. God… could Virgin be wrong? Momentarily, a cold emptiness clutched at the pit of her belly.
"What about the rest of the family?" Virgin asked Rudy. "What do we tell them?"
"That we'll be back in a few days," the bearded man said, walking to the cupboard where the cigar box was kept. "Like, we owe them nothing, Baby, anyway. They'll still have a roof over their heads as long as the shack stands. I'm uptight with playing the father confessor to a swarm of drones… besides, Baby, it's time you and I started to enjoy a taste of the establishment's better things." He sat down at the table and began rolling reefers. "And we damned sure can with our share of this deal."
Earl seated himself, making it a foursome. Lynn couldn't help but touch his hand affectionately, then answer his smile with one of her own. Confused emotions rippled through her. Dear God, had it been only the day before that she had arrived there to meet him… and filled with such great expectations? After all, he was her husband, and she had loved him so much for so long…
"You must be hungry," Virgin said, getting to her feet. "I'll boil the kettle, then after we eat we'll pack." She glanced at Lynn's watching eyes, telegraphing encouragement to her perplexed blonde Goddess, reading the hesitancy in those beautiful green eyes and wondering if she'd done the right thing by divulging her plans. "You can help me, Lynn Baby. We don't want to waste any time."
Lynn arose as Rudy lighted Earl's then his own joint. She saw them grin confidently at one another, drag deep from the brown-papered cigarettes, and then begin to rehash the events of their trip. At the stove, Virgin hissed to her: "Don't desert me now, Baby! It's our necks we're playing with!"
"But… but… I just can't believe it, Virgin… he's more loving than ever."
"Honey, it's a con… for God's sake, trust me!"
"Oh… oh… I don't know, Virgin… my God, he's my husband."
The cave was not at all what Lynn expected. She was surprised to see that it was adequately equipped with meager furnishings that included mattresses and blankets, cooking utensils, canned foods and kerosene lanterns. It was much larger than she had mentally pictured it, was burrowed into the wall of an oceanside cliff and a hidden homemade ladder was necessary for ascent. Once up and inside with Walo tagging at the rear, the ladder was raised and secured against the cliff wall. Rudy lighted the lamps and Earl set about building a small fire at the mouth of the cave. She had even helped him.
"This is so Lopez' boys can zero in, Doll, and pinpoint their way right to us," Earl said as he found matches and lighted the newspaper he'd wadded beneath the dry driftwood. Then, he looked up and grinned at her. "So… this is where it really is, Baby." Lynn reached for his hand and he let her take it. Desperately, she searched his eyes for truth. "E-Earl… Earl… do you love me?"
He chuckled. "Hey, what kind of a crazy question is that?"
"I-I don't know… but I must find out… before it's too late… Please, do you?" Lynn pleaded, holding tight to his hand.
She saw the expression on his face change and his eyes widen. He straightened. "Wh-What the hell are you talking about… before it's too late…? Rudy…"
The bearded man was in the process of lighting up, while Walo had sat down on a small boulder to watch the proceedings and Virgin was suddenly coming to Lynn's side knowingly.
"What is it, Man?" Rudy questioned, staring at his cohort and letting a thin trickle of smoke escape from his lungs.
"Jesus, I don't know… but I don't like it…!" Earl started and never finished. He saw the gun in Virgin's slender white hand, then the deadly leveled gleam in her eyes.
"You're going to like it less, Earl Baby!" Virgin said evenly, pointing the revolver right at his belly. "Now, be nice and get over there next to Rudy and Walo. Don't try any funnies… it might interest you to know that I can pierce your ears with one of these little gems without grazing your skull. A man named Lopez taught me!"
"Sonofabitch!" Rudy gasped. "That's your fucking cannon, Carter! You stupid bastard! Why didn't you bury that Goddamned thing?"
"Never mind the inner strife, Daddy," Virgin said, "it's too late for that! Now, you move fast, Earl, before I change my mind and put one where it won't ricochet!"
"She means it, Man!" Rudy exclaimed, his hands raising above his shoulders. "And she can do it." He grinned. "Senor Lopez taught her lots of things while she was gracing his sack… that's why he wants a second chance at her. He never did like the way she ran out on him!"
"Did you tell him that it was because of you, Rudy?" Virgin snapped at her husband. "Or couldn't you find enough guts to come up with the truth?"
"Jesus Christ!" Earl blurted, following instructions and moving with lifted arms to stand beside Rudy. "What the hell is all this, anyway?"
Virgin tittered lightly, while Lynn took a step backwards, the back of her hand coming up to her mouth as if she were going to shield a scream. She couldn't believe what was happening, even though this had been their very plans. Inside, she was as tight as a drum, and tiny chills of clammy fright were racing up and down her spine. Dear God, supposing her husband and Rudy were innocent… that Virgin had analyzed it all wrong!
"You really didn't believe you were going to pull this one off, did you, Rudy? After seven years of living with you?" Virgin snapped venomously. "I'll tell you, Daddy, you shouldn't have moved the stash… that was the give away."
"I don't know what you're talking about, Chick? How would you know I moved it…?"
"Because I went looking for it, Man, how else?"
"Ooohhh… I see, planning a little trip of your own with all the bread, eh?" Rudy taunted, still holding his hands high, the weed burning away between the fingers of his right hand.
"It crossed my mind, Lover… but not until my womanly intuition told me what you were up to…"
"Oh, God!" Lynn exclaimed, gaping at the blood-drained expression of horror on Earl's face. "Are you sure you're right, Virgin? Are you…?"
"Ask 'em?" the raven-haired beauty replied, standing firm and holding the weapon levelly on them. "Go ahead, Baby… learn for yourself…"
"You're making one hell of a mistake, Virgin!" Rudy said suddenly, his smug grin of confidence seemingly deserting him. "What do you intend to do with us… kill us?"
Virgin smiled coldly. "Man, you've been dead for a long time… both of you! All I intend doing is sealing the facts in lead… then, feeding you to the sharks!"
"No! No!" Lynn cried, lurching forward to grasp this girl she loved so much, the weight of her body knocking Virgin off balance long enough for Rudy to act.
The bearded man moved with unexpected speed for one his size, half-leaping across the hardened earth floor to grasp Virgin's slender wrist and wrench the weapon from her hand; he threw her against the rock wall and she careened off of it, dropping to her knees in a daze. Lynn screamed as Rudy scooped up the gun and Walo got slowly to his feet, a troubled expression on his round, cherubic face.
Earl gaped in stupid awe at the violent action that hadn't taken ten seconds to unfold; he saw Lynn throw herself down beside Virgin, tears bathing her cheeks as she clutched the other tightly to her and sobbed.
"You lousy cunt!" Rudy snarled, any trace of a smile long gone. "So you did intend to cool us… didn't you, Bitch? Yeah… you're a smarter broad than I ever gave you credit for. But now, that little episode is going to make it a hell of a lot easier to do what we have to… right, Earl Baby?"
"Shit!" Earl gasped. "The bitch… she intended to knock us off!"
"Yeah, Man… exactly that," Rudy said, his wicked little grin returning. "And it would've worked beautiful for them, seeing we're both supposed to be dead anyway. Like she said, our carcasses would have been shark bait, and they'd walked off with the stash in the satchel… ninety grand rich… but it didn't quite come off, thanks to your luscious little wife with the squeamish stomach, Earl…"
"Oh, God!" Lynn groaned, still holding Virgin tight against her as she stared upward at Rudy, the horrible empty knot at the base of her stomach almost nauseating her as she realized her terrible mistake. Virgin had been right…
"I-It's all right… Baby…" the dark-haired girl managed stammeringly.
"Oh, Virgin… I didn't know! My God, I couldn't… couldn't help myself when I thought you… you were going to… Oh, Lord, what've I done?"
"Shhhh… there, there," Virgin whispered, putting her arms around the other reassuringly. "It's going to be okay, Baby… don't worry…"
Rudy chuckled loudly. "Yeah, Baby… it's going to be just roses for both you cunts, once Lopez gets through with you and ships you out on a freighter to some of his Islamic buddies. Why, girl, you haven't lived until you've had an Arab master, who orders a slave to whip your ass blood red while you suck him off, then he fucks you till you go right out of your blond skull!"
"Wh-What is he saying?" Lynn choked, the lewd abhorrence his terrible words sent racing through her causing her to turn to Virgin in near-panic.
"I'll tell you what he's saying you cunt bitch!" Earl spat, crossing the room to glare down at the two huddled girls. "We sold both of your asses to Lopez for twenty-five grand! And when his boys leave here after unloading the cache, you leave with them! Now do you get the picture, Bitch? You're going to wind up as a whore-slave to some fucking wealthy nomad who'll probably feed you camel shit!"
Rudy couldn't help but laugh at that one. He'd shoved the gun in his belt and stepped back to watch Carter leer down at his wife who was sobbing profusely in Virgin's arms. He watched her breasts quiver inside the mannish shirt she wore and the way her ass and thigh filled out the faded dungarees she'd donned for the occasion. Something in the pathetic manner in which she was clinging to Virgin sent a sadistic stirring through his loins and he felt his prick jerk with a surge of blood toward its knob. The bitches had something coming to them for their fucking double-cross anyway!
"Tell you what, Earl Baby, we've got a few hours to kill before the stuff arrives… let's kind of get these broads used to this new life they're going to be enjoying, eh?" Rudy said, grinning salaciously and reaching down to lewdly massage the front of his swelling pants. "Sound like a winner to you, Man? I mean, we really owe them something for the little deal they just tried to pull on us, don't we?"
Earl broke into a licentious smirk of his own, his eyes immediately beginning to bead lust fully as his own rod started to lengthen in his shorts at the bearded man's suggestion. "Yeah… why not… one or two for the road," he replied sniggering.
"You mean for the sea, don't you, Baby?" Rudy added.
Earl laughed; "Right… the sea, Man…"
Lynn raised her tear-filled eyes to gape up at them in loathing dread. Dear God, what a fool she had been! If only she'd listened to Virgin! There no longer was the slightest trace of doubt in her mind whether Earl loved her or not, or the type of animal he had become.
"Keep your cool, Darling!" Virgin whispered in her ear. "No matter what, don't cower before them…"
"Oh, Virgin… I'll try… I'm so scared…"
"Just remember… I love you Baby…"
"Yes… yes, I'll remember…"
Rudy interrupted their exchange of encouragement. "What the fuck are you two hissing about? Listen… either one of you try anything and you won't live to get out of this cave! That clear, cunts?"
Neither girl answered, and Earl said: "Let's stop pissing with them, Rudy. I like your party idea; this cock of mine needs a good soaking." He leered at Virgin as he spoke. "Tell you what, Man, you finish what you started last night with that blond bitch of mine… and I'll catch up on a bit of fucking I been wanting for a long time."
Rudy nodded. "Sounds like a winner, Earl Baby… except, we can't overlook your buddy, Walo, can we?"
"Mmmmmm," Earl mused, rubbing his chin. "Maybe we can fit him in someplace as we go along…"
Lynn felt a chill of cold apprehension ripple up her spine as both men began to laugh coarsely. Her entire body was trembling with the meaning of their intentions, and she tried desperately to think only of Virgin's unflinching intrepidness beside her…
"Okay, you bitches… strip!" Rudy snarled. "Don't make it any harder on yourselves! Move your asses or I'll have Walo rip the rags off you! We're going to have a party, Chicks… one neither of you'll forget for a hell of a long time, I'm thinking. Now, get naked, damn you…!"
"Oh… oh, God, no…!" Lynn whimpered, clutching tightly to Virgin who was squeezing her reassuringly.
"Do as they say, Baby!" Virgin breathed into her ear. "Let's show them we're not afraid… that we can take anything they've got to give and more! Come on, Baby… Courage…"
With that, Virgin pressed Lynn away and arose to her feet, while Earl began to remove his clothing. The willowy brunette cast a level gaze at him as she started to unbutton her shirt. Then, she smiled wryly and said: "I hope this will be better than your usual feeble attempts at satisfying a woman, Earl. The word around the hotel amongst the chicks was that you were more rabbit than man."
Rudy didn't try to hold back his laugh and Earl was furious. Lynn watched, shocked at Virgin's taunting, as Earl kicked off his pants and shorts to unleash his hardened, thick, angry-looking shaft, then swinishly grasped hold of it.
"You fucking cunt!" he spat, stroking his member luridly. "I'll show you what a feeble attempt is! Walo, drag that mattress over here… better bring both of 'em…"
The huge dim-witted man did as Earl ordered, while Lynn watched Virgin roll her panties down over her hips and long legs, then straighten proudly in all of her lovely nakedness, almost as if in defiance of this vicious man Lynn had thought of so long as her husband. Dear God… if only there was something I could do to help her! My darling… my poor Darling…! What's going to become of us now?
Virgin wasn't at all frightened by Earl Carter's prick. She could fuck him and suck him into a dishrag and she knew it, but her fear for Lynn Carter was almost bringing her to tears. She knew from experience how ruthless Rudy Opal could be once his sadistic desires were peaked, and it was plainly apparent to her that they were headed that way.
"Get on your knees and spread 'em wide, cunt!" Earl ordered her harshly. "Stretch 'em apart good so I can see all the pink meat in that well-used hole of yours!"
Virgin didn't hesitate, in fact, she couldn't help the little ripple of sensual excitement that tingled through her as always when a man took her in that position, but she couldn't concentrate on it with the sight of Rudy walking over to drop beside Lynn, slipping an arm around her cringing, voluptuous body and cup ping her luscious, full, bra-less breast in his big mauling hand. And then she felt Earl crawling up close behind her, brushing her inner thighs with the end of his moist prick head, until finally she sensed the lips of her dry, unwanting pussy being splayed apart by the thick tip and abruptly she realized that he had no intention of even waiting for her to moisten a little…!
"Now, Bitch, we'll give you a go at the Rabbit, eh?" Earl hissed, wedging his blood-filled rod up tight into the coral aperture between her dark-hair-lined, spread-open cunt lips, pressing the turgid head snug into the unready mouth of the little hole. "Okay, Bitch… here we go!"
Virgin cried out in unexpected pain as, suddenly his thick enraged shaft burst into her unlubricated vagina with merciless force plowing the sensitive pink flesh in tormenting wavelets before the funneling, bludgeon-head. It gouged at her cervix and plunged, beyond, causing her to sink her teeth into her lower lip rather than to admit her agony again. She felt her thighs swept wider apart and the weight of his lean loins crash hard against her buttocks, pushing her face into the mattress beneath. Oh, the bastard, she thought, more angered than hurt physically; she could still take all he had to give, and then some…
Lynn shuddered in sympathetic agony, as if the brutal penetration had been made into her own recoiling genitals rather than the soft precious passage of Virgin, hardly conscious at the moment of Rudy Opal's arm around her, holding her close to him while he squeezed and fondled her still covered breast. Instead, she was completely and compassionately caught up in the vile, outrageous sight of the animal kneeling behind her subserviently bent Virgin, refusing to acknowledge him any longer as her husband. He was a beast! His nostrils were flaring licentiously as he began lunging in and out of her with long, ramming strokes. His strong hands were holding tight to the rounded curve of her ivory white hips, pulling the defenseless sheath of her ovally stretched cuntal channel back onto the thickness of his hard driving shaft with inhuman ferocity.
Lynn could see the pained expression twisting Virgin's beautiful face grinding down into the mattress, her entire voluptuous body responding with a quaking shudder to his every resounding thrust into her, yet, she'd given out only the one surprised cry. Her brave, brave darling…
"Pretty sight, isn't it, Lynn Baby?" Rudy taunted into her ear, squeezing and kneading her breast with intended cruelty, feeling her wince and sadistically excited by it. "See the way her cunt is spread, the pink flesh clinging to his cock like a mouth? Her hole is opening up now; you can tell by the way his prick's glistening from her cunt-juice, eh?"
"Oh, God!" Lynn gasped, sensing the almost erotic shudder sweeping over her from his use of vile words. "Have you got to talk like an animal, too?"
"You snooty little cunt," he hissed, grinning salaciously at her. Suddenly he clutched a handful of her long hair and twisted her head until her mouth was raised to his, and gaping open with the pain at her scalp. He kissed her then, thrusting his tongue deep into her mouth, while his hand clenched her full, erect breast harshly, pinching and tormenting its distended nipple until she whimpered against his mouth. He raised his head and said: "You luscious bitch! You and I could make it big… live… have every fucking thing we want! That's right, Baby… you and I alone… Leave the rest of them right here… let the birds eat 'em! Wh-What do you say. Baby? Just give me the word… I got the gun, now…"
Lynn gaped at him; he still had his hand wound painfully in her hair. Suddenly, the mere sight of his beard repulsed her. She wanted to spit in his face… and then, she did!
Rudy couldn't believe it… even as her spittle dribbled down his nose between his eyes! A vicious rage surged through him! "Why you stupid little cunt!" he snarled venomously. "You'll pay for that!"
Lynn felt him suddenly catch hold of the front of her shirt and rip it wide open, the buttons flying every which way. Then, he was mauling her sensitive naked breasts almost fiendishly, tormenting their nipples and grasping the full mounds of flesh with savage brutality… until she cried out with the biting pain and looked toward Walo who just sat there watching it all with confused emotions.
"Oh, God… stop, stop!" Lynn begged. "You're hurting them terribly!"
"Really? You don't say, cunt! Well now, just wait till I get down to your proud little pussy if you think this hurts!"
He was on top of her then, ripping at her clothes while she tried to hold him off and squirm out of his grasp. "Oh… Walo… Walo, help me! Please…"
Rudy laughed a perverse sound. "You want Walo, Baby? Okay, I'll see that you get that cat! A taste of the Walo Requital might do you a world of good… before Senor Lopez gets his hands on you!"
Walo sat as if frozen to the rock he'd chosen for a resting place. He wasn't pleased with the way that Earl was smashing his cock into Virgin and the look of pain on her face… he couldn't understand. She'd always taken it that way real easy like. Nothing ever seemed to hurt Virgin… besides, he really shouldn't interfere with Earl or Rudy; they were his friends. Any way, she wasn't looking so hurtful anymore… but now, Rudy was doing things to the pretty lady to make her cry… and he didn't want that either. God, he liked the pretty lady; he wanted to fuck her! Virgin said that later they'd talk about it, but he wasn't so sure that it was going to happen now… Gosh, he did want to fuck her… she was so pretty… and Rudy was pulling all her clothes off… She was even prettier that way, all bare… with her tits and pussy out where he could look at them… it made his cock get hard… just looking at her all naked…
Earl heard Lynn scream but could care less. He hoped that Rudy was fucking her crazy! The two-timing bitch! Right now, he had all he could do to teach this insulting pig a lesson or two! And he was just about ready; her cunt had opened up like an alligator's jaws, but not before he'd gotten in a dozen good painful stabs. Now, she was beginning to revel in his plunging prick racing up her moist, pink hole, and he knew in his heart that she could outlast him. In fact, he could feel her cuntal muscles contracting the hot, velvety walls of her vagina around his cock intentionally with his every out-pull, sucking at his prick like a milking whore's mouth, and he had only to look down to see the pink, viscid flesh clinging to it as he humped his ass back to know what she was trying to do. She wanted to bring him off, shame him with the Rabbit bit… damn her!
Abruptly, he pulled out of her and Virgin whimpered subconsciously at the loss. She squirmed her buttocks back toward where the shaft should be, felt it there riding up and down the spread, smooth furrow between her ass cheeks, but couldn't capture it again.
"You want it, Bitch?" Earl spat at her.
Virgin couldn't control the little whining sound that emitted from her throat at the loss of the plunging rod of flesh that had been so rhythmically sawing into her back there. God, she wouldn't have believed that his filthy prick inside her cunt could have aroused her so, but along with the helplessness of her position, it had. Tiny fermentations of galvanic delight were racing through her belly and loins at his angry fucking into her cunt from behind, and for one brief moment she'd thought he was going to fulfill her climax… and then, the pleasure-bringing shaft of hot, hard flesh was gone… Disappointment, anger, and scorn filled her denied body.
"What's the matter, Rabbit? Can't you handle it?" she spat snidely, twisting her neck to look back at him.
He grinned at her evilly and she was surprised at the visage of his twisted face. "Oh, Bitch, are you asking for it!" he snarled, levering himself and grasping his prick while she watched his movements… then, abruptly realized what he intended to do!
Thinking only of himself, Earl plunged his finger into her pink hair-fringed cunt and watched Virgin's hips and buttocks jerk from the erotic intrusion. The bitch… he didn't intend to rip his foreskin off, although it'd give him the greatest of pleasure to just ram it in dry. Instead, he smeared the moist, viscid lubricant over the crinkled, tight little mouth of her rectum. It spasmed beneath his finger, almost as if it had a brain of its own and knew what was going to happen. He did it several times before moistening the head of his pulsing cock between her now, wet cunt-lips, then nuzzled it tightly up against her puckered, cringing anus.
"Wait! What the hell do you think you're doing?" Virgin threw back at him. "Nothing's ever been in there!"
"Well, something's going to be now, Bitch!" Earl snarled elatedly. He'd reached her… finally reached her! "My cock's going to be in there… the Rabbit, remember Baby? I'm going to ass-fuck you until Lopez' boys show up to drag you away… and you can remember this as my parting bon voyage present!"
"Oh, God!" Virgin gasped, feeling his hands clutching strongly at her writhing hips. She hadn't counted on sodomy as being his cup of tea or she'd never have taunted him! Lord almighty! She was virgin there all the way! Damn, what could she do? Rudy wouldn't help her… and he had the gun! He'd shoot Walo if she cried out to him! There was nothing she could do… only take it! Oh, God.
Virgin heard him laugh almost fiendishly; she clenched her long slender hands into fists, telling herself that she had to endure it… had to, no matter how painful, and for pride's sake if nothing else, she mustn't beg or plead!
Then, without benefit or mercy, Earl thrust forward and she felt an agonizing pop and stretching of her anus back there; her breath choked in her throat to the vicious spasm of pain… pain so unbearable that she twisted, then bit at her lip until she tasted the saltiness of her own blood, while simultaneously she strained and clenched her buttocks uncontrollably to get free of the wickedly torturous cock reaming into her anal passage!
Oh, God, God! She'd sorely misjudged the ravishing capabilities of his prick, and even the capabilities of her own ability back there… for more than once she'd wished that Rudy or one of the cats would take her there! Goddamn! He was going to split her wide open, she realized in sudden horror, her round, white full buttocks beginning to thrash like a trapped animal caught in the throes of a violent death struggle, and then, she heard him laugh sadistically and felt his powerful fingers gouging into the soft and tender flesh of her squirming hips. He was holding her viselike, and every attempted move only helped to drive his thick cock deeper and deeper inside her cringing anal passage.
"Come on, Baby… you mouthy little cunt!" he taunted, slapping her hard across the ass-cheeks. "Shove back, Bitch! Let's get it in and ream this hole for Lopez' client, eh? This is only the Rabbit back here! You don't mean his little cock is breaking your will?"
Virgin couldn't restrain the tears of pain, nor the guttural moans of agony that erupted from her constricted throat. Dear God, she'd made a drastic error in taunting him just to satisfy her own ego… and not only she, herself… but Lynn was also going to pay the price, too. Oh, Lord… Lord… her poor little helpless Baby…
