Little Light of Mine (Club Decadence) (3 page)

As if she would tell people that Luis, who they thought was her stepbrother, had raped her.  It would devastate her parents, especially her father.  How disgustingly incestuous this all seemed.  Although no kin, the reporters and papers would still have a field day with the story if
she pressed charges.  And they’d find out about her and Dex.  Incest, kinky sex and violence sold; it would be a media circus.  A shiver of revulsion ran through her.

She had to bury this, bury it deep and move on.  Luis was gone most of the time, working out of town and often out of state -
doing what, no one really knew.  He dressed nice, drove a good car, and seemed to be doing quite well.  She expected that would end soon as he was obviously spending his money on whatever drugs he was using.
 
Dios mí
o
!  How would she stand seeing him again at family gatherings? She would lose it.  She had to make sure it wouldn’t ever happen. 

Elena crumbled the note and shuddered uncontrollably.  Just the thought of him and what he had done made her skin crawl.  She felt so dirty.  She made her way to her bathroom for another shower.  Would she ever feel clean again?

Chapter Three

Although Elena emailed Dex and got a call from him, he didn’t find
out about the accident until a week after she came home.  Once back at base, he found out from Elena’s father about the accident and contacted her by Skype. The bruises were still visible on her face.  As predicted, he was pissed. 

“
Chiquit
a
, this happened almost three weeks ago.  Why are you just now telling me?”

“I didn’t want to worry you, Dex.  Besides, you were out of reach on a mission.”

“If I was there right now you’d be in the corner with a blistered butt.  It’s not up to you to decide what I need to know.  Full disclosure, remember?”

“Yes Dex, I remember.”  He expected honesty and he believed withholding information was a lie of omission.  He had spanked her raw a time or t
wo for that already. 

“You know you can always reach me through
Central Command in an emergency.  Tell me exactly what happened, Elena.  Are you getting therapy for your shoulder?  How long will you be in that cast?  Are you in any pain?  What are you taking?  Was your dad able to get your car repaired?  Damn!  I wish I could be there to hold you right now.”

Elena couldn’t keep up with his rapid-fire questions.  “Really, I’m OK
,
mi amo
r
!  I miss you.  You’ll never know how much I wanted you to be here, Dex.”

They chatted for over an hour,with Dex asking question after question.  He was shocked that she had been unconscious and alone for days.  He scolded her for not carrying identification.  And throughout the call he lectured about her safety and keeping things from her man.  She promised she would call his commanding officer if anything like this ever happened again. 

Elena’s reassurances that she was all right didn’t seem to penetrate.  At one point, he told her to take her shirt off so he could see how she was healing from the chest tube wounds.  When she hesitated, he ordered her in a gentle but firm voice. 
“Now
,
Chiquita.
 
If I can’t be there to hold you and take care of you, at least let me see that you are healing all right.” 
Even though he had seen her naked hundreds of times in the years they had been together, this felt different and she blushed while
doing it.  

Finally near the end of the call she broke down.  She was emotionally exhausted from their demanding conversation.  And the horrific secret that she was holding inside was wearing at her.  “Dex please, I’m exhausted and in pain.  I can’t answer any more questions right now.” 

“Forgive me, little light.  I didn’t intend for this to become an interrogation.  It’s just so frustrating to be so far away when you need me the most.  I’ve requested leave and will be with you as soon as I can.  I love you, baby.”

“
Te am
o
, Dex.  I love you so much.”

They video chatted at least twice a week over the next month, talking about their wedding plans for this coming August when he would be home for a month on leave.  She was counting the days.  She needed his big strong arms around her, holding her at night, making her feel safe.  Would she ever feel safe again?

Elena was jumpy and subdued.  Her parents constantly asked her how she was doing and looked at her with concern, especially her papa.  She never could pull anything over on him.  She had been back to the rape counselor twice since the incident, but keeping her visits secret and her shame private was exhausting.  She had even met with Lexie several times but nothing seemed to help. 

She decided to throw herself into other things to keep her mind busy.  Wedding plans took up a good deal of her time.  Fittings, meeting with florists and caterers, looking at venues -
all should have been fun but she had this black cloud lingering over her.  She was always on edge, watching for Luis to return.   Elena still lived with her parents; she and Dex had decided that when he was in town she could stay with him but there was no sense in getting her own place or being alone.  How ironic that she was violated in the place they thought was so safe.  They planned to look for a house when he came back for the wedding.  Elena didn’t know if she could wait that long.

Elena, Mama, Megan, Regan and the twin’s cousin Moon were in the kitchen working on birdseed favors to throw at the wedding when it happened.  Luis and two of his friends walked in.  They were laughing loudly and looked to have been drinking.  Elena froze when she saw him.  Images of that horrible night flooded her memory.    She started to panic.  She couldn’t let on to mama and her friends that something was terribly wrong. 

“Luis, you’re back early.”  Mama got up and moved to her stepson who bent and offered his cheek.  “We weren’t expecting you back before the wedding.”

“I just couldn’t stay away
,
mamacit
a
.  You know there is so much here at home that keeps drawing me back.”  His eyes swept over Elena possessively, “Just like a magnet.”  He laughed and his friends looked at him oddly.

Elena stood up, drawing everyone’s attention as she knocked her chair over backward.  “I need to get more material and birdseed from my car,” she muttered, then grabbing her keys from the counter she bolted out the back door, heading for the driveway.

She heard Mama call behind her, “Elena!”

Elena ignored her and made it to the driveway where she hurriedly unlocked her little Honda Civic.  She let out a sob of frustration as she saw the cars blocking her in from behind.  Shit!  Now what?  She heard the kitchen door slam behind her and whipped around to see who had followed.  She saw Luis standing behind her with a leering grin on his face.

“Elena
,
mi puta
,
where are you off to so fast?”  He laughed as he approached and saw her escape route blocked.  “Guess you’ll have to stay and talk to me, won’t you little sister?” He was on top of her then and grabbed her roughly by the upper arms. 

She started to struggle and sobbed, “Please, don’t touch me.”

“Shhhh, little sister, I’m not going to hurt you.  I need your help with something.”

“You’re already hurting me.  Let me go.  Why would I help you with anything
,

o
?”

Angered by being called an asshole, Luis gripped her tighter and pulled her up against him.  “Shut up, whore.  You’ll do what I say - when I say - or your precious Dexter will find out what a slut he has for a fiancée.”  The kitchen door slammed again and Luis’ friends exited and moved to join them by her car.  “Now, you are going to be a good little girl, and do what I say.  You are going to go back inside and tell mama and your friends that you have to run a little errand.  What, I couldn't care less, just make it believable.  Then, you are going to come with me and the boys.  We have a little job for you.”

Elena panicked.  “No.  I won’t go.  You can’t make me.”

“Ah, but I ca
n.
”  He signaled to one of the boys who moved in closer.  “You see, this is my friend Bobby.  He’s the one who saw you playing your kinky games with Dex at that party.  He took a few pictures.  Show her.”

Bobby handed over an envelope with prints in it.  Luis let her go and she flipped through the dozen or so shots of her in her leather club wear.   Some were of her tied and bent over a spanking bench with her ass bare.  Others were of her sucking a cock.  She knew it was Dex but his face and most of his body weren’t in the shot.  It was a little blurred but it was clear enough
to recognize it was her doing the sucking.  The final picture in the stack was of her being taken from behind, again by Dex but his face was cut off making it appear to be anyone. 

“Those are copies
.  We have others that will be delivered to your proud Papa if you don’t cooperate.  You won’t be his innocent princess once he sees those shots.”  Luis laughed and his friends joined in.  She looked at them, all tall and muscular.  They also looked like they had been drinking for a while and they were staring at her like she was an appetizer and they were starving. 

“What do you want?”

“Go excuse yourself, tell them your car is blocked so I am going to drive you to the store.  I’ll be right behind you, mi puta.”

Elena did as she was told and a few minutes later she was riding with Luis in the back of Bobby’s sedan. 

“What is this about, Luis?” She cringed as he reached for her and grabbed her bare knee.  The touch of his skin against hers made her shudder.  When he slid it up the inside  of her thigh, Elena fought and tried to push his hand away.  “Now sis, is that any way to act?”  Hard fingers clamped down brutally on her tender flesh and his fingertips dug in hard enough to leave bruises.

“Not again, please.  I’ll do what you say, just don’t hurt me again.”

“Good girl, isn’t that what you are, my little slave?”  Luis’ smarmy voice provoked but his targeted words made Elena flinch. 

My little slave. Dex called her that often when they played.  Oh, my God!  Bobby had really filled him in on the details of their play activities that night.

“You are going to pick up a little package for me.  That’s all there is to it.  You pick it up and bring it back to me in the car and we’ll take you back home, all safe and sound.”

“What the hell, man?”  The other man in the front seat protested loudly.  “You said we could have a taste when we were done.”

“Shut up, Eduardo.”  He turned to a shaking and struggling Elena.  “Don’t worry, Niña.  I won’t let them hurt you.”  He laughed in her ear and his tongue came up and licked the side of her neck before latching onto her flesh with his teeth.  “At least, not until I’m done with you.”

Elena gagged.   “I think I’m going to be sick.”  She took deep breaths trying to control her rebellious stomach and was relieved when Luis pushed away. 

“Bitch, puke on me and you will regret it.”

They drove to a rather sketchy part of town and turned down an alley behind a row of porn and head shops.  They parked and Eduardo got out and climbed in the back seat with her and Luis.  He immediately started kissing her, one hand holding her face still while the other pushed up her T-shirt, flicked open her front hook bra and started groping her bare breasts.  Luis grabbed her wrists, pulling her hands behind her back and holding them there firmly.  She felt one of Eduardo’s hands leave her breasts and slide down into her shorts and inside her panties.  No!  Not again.  Please God, what did I do to deserve this?  She bit and kicked and tried to get away but they were both too strong. 

Finally, they released her.  She wiped at her mouth with her now freed hands and tried to adjust her clothes.  Bobby was leaning over the front seat with a camera in his hands.  He was flipping through the digital pictures.  “Yeah, these are hot.  She looks like she is really into it and you can see both sets of hands holding her.  Oh man!”  He exclaimed as he flipped through the pictures.   “Your dick is out in this one Luis.  It looks like she is ready to give you a hand job while Ed works her tits and pussy.  She’s so damn hot!”

He flipped the camera around for all three in the back seat to see the screen shot.  Oh God.  It looked like she was an active participant in a ménage.  Her head was back and Eduardo’s hand was cupping between her legs.  With Luis holding her arms
and her back arched, she looked like she was offering her bare breasts to her lovers.  Her hair was a riot of curls falling over her face obscuring the expression of what she was sure was fear and panic.  Anyone looking at that picture would believe she was willing and eager to take the bare cock that was ready to fall into her hands.

“Ok, I’ll do it.”  Elena whispered, resigned.  “Just please don’t show those to Papa or Dex.”

Luis chuckled; he had her right where he wanted her, the little bitch. 

“Third door on the left, knock and ask for Max.  He will give you a package.  You hand him this envelope and come straight back to me.  That’s it.  Even a stupid bitch like you can do this simple task.”

Elena’s eyes scanned the alley for an escape route but it was a dead end.  “Ah ah, little sister.  If you don’t come back with the package or do anything like run or scream for help, Papa gets the prints and Dex gets a nice friendly email from Bobby with all these lovely shots.  Wonder what he’ll think about his whore fiancée getting it on with other men while he is off fighting for his country. 

The men laughed and a tear rolled down Elena’s cheek.  God, how he must hate her to treat her this way.  Shaking, Elena took the envelope and made her way through the dark alley.  It reeked of rotting garbage and urine.  There were several bums sitting next to one of the dumpsters and they leered at her.  She was wearing shorts and a tank top.  She hadn’t been expecting to go out so her shorts were kind of skimpy and she was wearing a pair of flip-flops.  Even if she had to, there was no way she would be able to run in those. 

The exchange went off without a hitch and she was back at the car in no time.  She didn’t want to think about what the package contained.  Drugs, she was sure.  Now her fingerprints were all over the package and she was an accessory.

“Good job, Elena.  Now we’ll take you back home.  I’ll need you again on Saturday so don’t make any plans.”
