David

I leave her huddled up in the back and speed away, after my pulse settles and a few deep breaths I press my console to make a phone call. First things first, I call Jane on the hands free. "Hi Jane, I'm in a bit of a rush, are you by any chance home yet?"

"Should be soon, we are in traffic on our way."

"OK great, I'll be bringing Olivia in and she'll need your attention, she's probably injured and will need your help and maybe a doctor."

"Ohh dear what happened?"

"Let's just say she was having one of her teases with Truck drivers and it backfired when she got brutally raped in both holes. I am concerned there might be damage but I need you to look her over first, no point getting involved in nasty questions if it's not necessary."

"I understand, I'll be there as fast as I can and try to be ready when you arrive."

"Great, hopefully we won't be too far behind you."

About then I pull over and drop the driver's possessions on the verge plainly visible and take photographs for evidence. Getting back in the car, I turn towards Olivia and say, "Do you realise all of the damage you have done? It's not just about sex it's about the rest of your life." At that I turn back and drive away.

My next call finds Rachel and I waste no time, "Rachel, tell Scott to go and get a lock and fix it to the smallest bedroom door immediately."

She senses my tone and replies, "Yes David."

"And tell him to put a small table and chair in the same bedroom. Now tell me, how far on is Olivia with the Farm project? do you have enough work to be getting on with until our new Architect arrives?"

"I think I have enough to go on with." she said.

"But overall?"

"I don't want to guess David, I've barely got started."

A voice behind me says, "I will finish them." I ignore her.

"Ok I understand. I should be home soon, it looks like I might have to help out if we are to get the work done in time, move everything Olivia will need into that bedroom including the drawing board from the office; you'll find it folded up."

"Before you go David, Aleesha has been on, it sounded urgent."

Closing the call, I next call Aleesha.

"Ohh David" she says, I'm so glad you called, I've got quite a lot on that Mark scumbag but I'm very worried, I've just seen him and Monica headed into a small hotel."

I swear under my breath. "Have you got anything you can throw at him?"

"Yes but I don't think I should do it in front of Monica, we are friends."

"OK how about one of your colleagues. Have you anyone with a nasty streak?"

"Ohh yes, do we ever."

"Ok let him take the photos to their hotel. Ask him to try and deliver when Monica isn't around if that's possible; I imagine that they've done the deed by now. But let's throw pictures of him and his floozies at him.

Be prepared to give pictures of the wife to Monica, especially ones of the two of them together but only as a last resort; I won't have you do it unless I have to. Mean time take photographs to his wife and have a chat with her, don't put yourself at risk but if she needs our help just call and I'll ask someone to collect her, probably better if it's one of the ladies who will know how she feels.

"Don't worry David, I have already seen the wife and know exactly how she feels, you can leave that part to me."

He sighs with relief, "Of course I was forgetting, and thank you so much for what you are doing, keep me posted yes?"

"Of course David, I'll call as soon as I have anything," then, "Can I add that this was not the way I hoped this would end."

"I know Aleesha but I am not in the mood to be nice right now. Monica's a tough woman but we need to get this over with and then she will need friends to be there to help pick up the pieces. You never know she might have already guessed he's married and decide to continue an affair anyway but knowing Monica I doubt it, in fact I think she will be very angry."

Then I suddenly softened, "Am I doing the wrong thing? I'm angry right now and I don't want to over react."

"Maybe a little, can I suggest this, instead of creating a scene why not leave them for now, after all as you say, Monica is a strong woman and she's probably having the best time she's had for a long while, that side of it is not for us to interfere. In fact, if Monica finds out we interfered she might never forgive any of us."

"You are completely right, I am sorry."

"That's fine; I am guessing you're having a hard day"

"You could say that. Right, look, you seem to know what needs to be done, can I leave it to you for now, if it's some kind of authorisation you need get in touch but otherwise you have my full trust and authority, is that okay?

"That's what I was hoping you would say, but I needed to check with you first; thank you David, leave it with me."

"Thanks Aleesha I owe you."

"No you don't, you're a good hearted man, and I am delighted to help you in any way I can."

Next, I rang Michael. "Hi buddy," he answered.

"Hiya pal, how's things going at your end?"

"Getting there finally. It's been a bit of a cliff-hanger but Sarah's being co-operative at last, so co-operative that I am beginning to worry."

David laughed.

"Did you call for anything special?" Michael asked.

"It's just that things are piling up the closer we get to our holiday and I wanted to make sure you were still on board, I am half expecting something to go wrong but fingers crossed that nothing does.

"Anything particularly worrying you?"

"Yes the farm project, we have a new qualified trainee Rachel, who we are pretty sure is going to be good but she's only just started. She's trying to assist Olivia but the holiday is coming on us fast."

"I can't wait to see the project, sounds exciting."

"It is, I'm going to throw in my lot to help, although I wanted it to be Olivia's baby. Hopefully we'll get it to a stage where we can hand over to you. We are going to ask you to liaise with our joint funders and if they are happy submit the proposal to the authorities, that's where we are hoping that Rachel will be most helpful because she specialised in Building Control and Planning. It can't hurt to have her tagging along with you as she is a local. Anyway, we are happy to leave it in your hands; you have been in this game as long as we have. Perhaps Rachel can take you to see the farm first thing Friday."

Their call went on as they firmed up on plans.

As I stopped at lights close to home I felt movement behind me, Olivia reached over and around and unexpectedly kissed me. She said, "I'm sorry David I don't deserve you, you're such a good man, I love you" and she dropped back to her seat letting out a screech of pain as she landed. Now that I had calmed somewhat I was starting to worry about the damage to Olivia but not for long, I hadn't yet thought of a reason why I shouldn't just divorce her. How can someone do what she had and then claim to love.

I rang my father to update him on Michael and Rachel. Disconnecting I still felt tainted but relieved that at least Olivia sounded 'normal' if there was such a thing anymore. I had this weird sensation that she might have forgotten a lot of what just happened but wasn't sure how I could approach it.

I rang Angela's office as I was drawing close to home then changed my mind. I ought first to find out from Jane what happened with Angela last night.

*******************************************************************************

Aftermath - David

From then on, the time flew by and before I knew it, Friday arrived. There was not much of note beyond usual misbehaving but I made sure Olivia had no further distractions, she was locked away in the bedroom working and Jane, or Bree, took her out for walks from time to time. Angela had told me that it was possible that Olivia's brain might conceal parts of her experience that were particularly horrific. She said it was ok to ask her what she remembered but not to push for anything that was being tucked away, she would deal with the issue at her appointment on Thursday. Soon after the event, I happened to overhear a conversation where Olivia was describing my action against the truck drivers and extolling how she found it so exciting "I nearly cum on the spot."

During a break in work on Thursday, I went to talk to Olivia in her bedroom/office. I asked her what she remembered but she just gave me one of her secretive smirks and said, "You were very manly," patting her chest and a little colour coming to her face. I suspected that she might have wanted more from me but she was off my radar and in any event, there were injuries that needed time to heal.

I never did hear what happened with Angela, the ladies seemed to close ranks which made me even more determined to find out. I resolved to save the question to reopen at a suitable moment, perhaps while we are away.

So Friday came and I heaved a huge sigh of relief as Michael settled straight into taking on our Farm project and a happy working relationship with Monica, Dee, and Rachel, all of whom found he was someone to respect. Nobody knew how Monica was after her tryst with Mark, but Aleesha reported that his wife at first seemed not to believe what she was being shown. However, it soon became apparent that she had been suspicious for some time but didn't want to believe it, so figuratively 'hid her head in the sand'. Aleesha had left her their new private number for contact if she needed support in the weeks ahead but suspected that she was vulnerable to the smooth talking Mark. It seemed likely that nothing would change so they were all left with a bad feeling of an unfinished job and the fear that Monica might develop feelings for the man

The night all the guys came, I decided to make himself scarce early on, saying I had work to finish in the office. Even from there, I could hear a lot of giggling suggesting a good time was being had by all. Jane came to me after dinner and did a very good job of distraction, it was rare for us to enjoy time together so we made the best of it, both talking over the week's events and making love.

"I miss you in our bed" she said.

"I know but I need some time alone, I have some healing to do, I promise it's not personal."

"It was that bad huh?"

"Yes, what has she told you?"

"Not much."

"That's probably best for now."

"I assume that whatever it was, she brought it on herself?"

"She did, but the worst of it from my point of view is that I let her manoeuvre me into the situation. I said no emphatically several times without effect so there was no excuse, but it did reinforce my view that the demon in her hides the reality from her of what's really happening. At one point, she screamed out and I had no idea that it was truly a bad thing that was happening; she never called for me once. I was searching for our car keys and her face looked like she had got exactly what she wanted. So it was only the second time she screamed when I was actually paying proper attention that I knew I had to take action and I truly lost it. Even then, her face was enigmatic; it's as if the demon wants something so badly that she is prepared to suffer anything to get it. I've heard of women having fantasies of being taken forcibly and being hurt but this was the nasty reality, her demon is very dangerous."

I continued, "At the moment, my action seems to be Olivia's main memory of it and that might be a good thing but who knows, based on her track record she is probably be lying." I thought for a moment then asked, "How is she healing, should she still see a doc and we make up some kind of story?"

Jane replied, "I think it is going to be very painful for her to have sex for a few days and to empty her bowels. Personally, I think a doc should check her over but how you cover up the truth, I can't say. Perhaps Angela can recommend someone. I'll ask if you like, we are running out of time."

"Please do, as soon as you can, thanks my love."

Influence got us an appointment, so Jane and I brooked no argument from Olivia and almost bundled her into the car. The Doctor was recommended by Angela who also told the Doc that Olivia was her patient and there were medical reasons for keeping Olivia's experience a secret. The outcome was better than expected but Olivia had some bruising around the vulva and anus and would need time to heal, a few days or so, depending upon her own recuperative powers. Olivia was determined that it wasn't going to get in the way of her holiday and immediately made her nether regions a 'no entry zone.'. Not that anyone had suggested anything.

*******************************************************************************

Release? or Divorce?

By Saturday morning, Olivia was champing at the bit from being shut away, as well as being a no entry zone. I was almost believing the made up version of the story by Saturday and even looked forward to an evening of flirtation. I couldn't help thinking that my own little devil complemented hers; then I put that stray thought firmly away.

"Have you thought anything about your fantasy list for the holiday?" I asked her

"Hearing all the ladies playing last night, I couldn't think of anything else."

"And how are you feeling?"

She looked at him for a long moment wondering where they stood. "Where are we David, I couldn't blame you if I was shut in here for ever."

"I was really hoping you wouldn't ask that. I don't know what you remember and therefore what you think I should feel"

"Does what I think matter?"

"Yes of course but would you lie to me or not tell me something because you don't want to face the truth"

She battled with herself for a moment. "Maybe the second one."

"I thought so; you are much too clever my love. I never take anything you say for granted." I decided to see how far she wanted to hide her memories, saying, "Which reminds me, your confession was a masterpiece although I thought you could have had a little more fun along the way," he teased her.

"You don't really mean that"

"Maybe, maybe not but I did wonder."

She conceded the point with a glance.

"I thought about it but I was hoping to seduce you into relenting on not sleeping in our bed."

"You are a minx," he said "I almost did several times"

"So?"

"Shall we start with what you aren't telling me, try wiping the slate clean?"

"I remember some but not all of it."

"I thought you must, what I can't work out is when it's you or when it's the demon. Did you know how they were treating you?"

"Yes and no, maybe you don't really want to know."

He finds the answer makes him cross so he say's "I was there, what don't I know, maybe this is a waste of time." His mood has completely swung now so he decides to get on with something else.

"So how are your injuries, is it painful to sit down?"

Olivia has read his mind, it wasn't hard, she felt like she was in a no-win situation or rather a self-induced lose-lose situation.

"Its not too bad, I deserve worse."

"True, but I deserve some of it."

"You why?"

"Because I try too hard to please you and I know I shouldn't but I still keep allowing you to take risks."

"So I can blame you," she smirked.

"If you like, if it helps, whatever."

This was not going well.

"Why did you come to talk to me David?"

"Because I miss you."

She turns away, can't cope with the pain of guilt.

"Sorry, I wasn't supposed to bring up what happened if your brain was suppressing it." He doesn't know what else to say and is torn whether to stay or go?

He hovered waiting for, he knew not what.

She went and sat down.

He needed to do something with his hands, or was it his arms, maybe it was his legs.

She is looking down, waiting for the inevitable door to open and close.

Eventually she looks around, there's a man there looking just like a lost little boy.

Finally, he finds something to do with his arms, so he just opens them and reaches out. The minute he does, he regrets it.

Later they are sitting on the edge of her bed, she on his lap, their favourite position for personal moments.

"So did you really want to know about my fantasies for the holiday?"

"I did, I guess we've got three weeks of continuous sex before I have to lock you in the bedroom again." He joked irrationally.
