“Oh, no, you don’t. You need to be fully awake for what we have planned for you. You will learn how to obey me!”

The man behind me presses his front to my back, and I cry out because the coarse hairs on his chest brush against the open welts and cuts on my back. He wraps one arm around my front and picks me up. I feel his other hand at my bottom, and a second later, he impales my ass with his dick. I scream at the sharp pain I feel in my bowels and try in vain to pull myself up by my arms. It’s no use.

Steven is in my face again and his hand is back at my throat.

“Now, be a good girl, my pet, and enjoy the lesson my dear friend and I are going to teach you.” Again, he jams the end of the flogger in me at the same time the man behind me lifts me and drops me back down. I scream out in utter agony….

I wake up to a loud banging noise. I’m so off balance from the nightmare that my stomach is rolling, I don’t have time to look around for the noise that woke me. Frantically grabbing the handle, I yank the door open before I spew the contents of my stomach all over my car.

While I sit there half in and half out of my car, dry heaving, I feel someone pull my hair back from my face. Out the corner of my eye, I see a pair of white Ked sneakers.

“Oh my, God, Bailey, are you okay?” comes the hysterical voice of Anna.

“I’m fine,” I mumble while trying to calm my breathing.

“I heard you screaming from all the way across the street. I thought someone was hurting you. When I ran over here, I saw that you were having a nightmare. You were thrashing around and screaming, “stop.” I tried to open the door to wake you, but it was locked. You scared the daylights out of me. Are you sure you’re okay?”

I slowly sit up and grab the water bottle that’s on the passenger seat, taking a big gulp to try and rid my mouth of the vile taste of vomit. “Yes, I’m fine. Thank you. I have terrible nightmares sometimes. They’re so awful that I get sick to my stomach.”

Today she’s wearing a pair of bright yellow skinny jeans and a deep purple sweater that hangs off one shoulder. Her hair is down and it’s flowing in golden waves down her back. She really is a beautiful woman.

“Why were you sleeping in your car anyway?” Anna asks.

Ahh…. How do I explain this away? Luckily, she doesn’t try to delve further about my nightmare. Since I have no ready excuse, I give her the truth. Part of the truth, anyway.

“I’m… uh… running a little low on cash. I’ll be staying in my car until I make enough money to rent a cheap place.” It looks as though she’s going to protest, so I quickly add, “It’s fine. I don’t mind staying in my car. I’ve done it before.”

“But—”

“Really, Anna, I’m okay. Staying in my car is the least of my problems.”

Before she has a chance to ask about my last remark, I reach into the backseat of my car and grab my backpack and purse. I quickly run my brush through my hair, making sure it covers the side of my face I want to keep hidden. When I turn back around and get out of my car, Anna has her hands in her tight pants pockets and she’s watching me with an enormous smile on her face.

“I was just heading over to the diner. Want to go with me and grab some breakfast?” she asks excitedly.

As I’ve not had anything since early yesterday afternoon, I’m starving. The money I have left is precious to me, but I know I should eat. The last thing I need is to become sick because I’m not eating enough.

I give her a small smile. “Sure, breakfast sounds great right now.”

I lock my car door and we make our way toward the diner on foot. As we move along the sidewalk, I realize that Anna must know just about everyone here in this little town. Several cars honk at Anna as they pass by and give friendly waves. Some people step out of their businesses to yell a greeting at her. There are plenty of “Hi, how are ya’s?” It must be so nice to be so welcomed and loved in such a small community.

We walk into the diner a few minutes later and make our way to one of the booths. As soon as we’re seated, a short woman wearing a pair of sparkly black capris, a deep plum-colored button-up blouse, and an apron approaches us. Her strawberry-blonde hair is piled high up on top of her head. She has on a bunch of gold and silver bangle bracelets on both wrists and a pair of big hoop earrings. She’s also sporting a pair of high black strappy heels. Shoes that shouldn’t be worn by a waitress while at work. Although the outfit is ridiculous for the type of work, she looks darn good in it. Her name tag says Nitra.

“Hey, Anna girl, what are you doing here so early?” she asks, propping a hand on her hip.

“Having breakfast with my new friend here. Bailey, meet Nitra. Nitra, this is Bailey. She’s new in town, and I’ve decided to take her under my wing. She came in the diner for the first time the other night, and I knew right away that we were going to be great friends.” Anna finishes her introduction with two claps of her hands.

Ho-ly smokes. This girl really is something else. Her infectious excitement causes me to laugh, something I haven’t done in a long, long time. The sounds feels strange coming from my throat, especially in the wake of a nightmare, but it also feels really good.

Nitra turns my way and holds out her hand. “Nice to meetcha, Bailey. How do you like our little town so far?”

I place my hand in hers and we shake. “I haven’t seen much, but from what I have seen, it seems like a nice place.”

“Of course it’s a nice place. Everybody knows everybody here. We’re all family and look out for each other. What’s not to like?” Pulling out a notepad and pen, she continues talking, “So, what can I get for you two this morning? Or do you need more time to decide.”

Before I have a chance to answer with my meager choice of a muffin and water, Anna pipes up and orders what could probably feed an army.

“We’ll have some bacon, sausage, eggs, hash browns, toast, and pancakes, please. Double of everything. Oh, and have Cookie add some whipped cream and strawberries to the pancakes. Can you also bring us both some orange juice and coffee?”
