The Lies You Tell the Others
(and the lies you tell yourself)
11. Rescued!
"I'm not going back," Michelle stated firmly.
Alben scoffed. "Don't lie to me, Pet. I know it's been difficult for you. You're just upset. But I'm here. I'm ready to rescue you."
"I'm not angry." She stood up on tiptoe and kissed him warmly, offering plenty of tongue. "I love you. So what day is it? July something, right?"
The tall, distinguished looking gray-haired man studied his diminutive, naked lover and saw someone very different from the one he'd left behind four months ago. "Yes. July 18th." She was tanned all over, with a healthy glow that her pale skin had never exhibited before. She looked ten pounds lighter, which was really saying something since she had been barely over 100 pounds the last time he'd weighed her. Without her oversized glasses, she looked more attractive than his recollection, even though of course he remembered how she looked both ways.
"You missed my birthday." She was playing with her matted hair now, which Alben took as a hopeful sign of flirtation.
"I'm sorry. Big number 46. I'll get you something nice when we're back on the main island."
"Don't need anything. I just thought you'd send me a card or something." She laughed at her little joke. Postal service on this obscure corner of the remote little Caribbean island wasn't a regular thing. The boat brought what supplies they needed, so there wasn't really anything anyone needed by postal mail. Mail generally meant bad news had arrived, the boys had told her.
"Your kids say hello, by the way. They sent you birthday cards, of course, that are waiting for you on your desk back home." Those grown kids had in fact begun inquiring more pointedly about their mother's whereabouts.
"It's okay."
"So where are your things? I've got a guy with a boat waiting to take us back to St. Annagato."
"Don't wanna go. I like it here just fine. I like the boys here, just fine."
"The boys. I talked to a couple of them just now. You know I had a hell of a time finding you here."
"Wasn't hiding from anyone. After the pirate took me from you, I was a couple of places, but been here now for, well, I don't know how long. July 18, you say?" The pirate, as she called him, was the odd little man back on St. Annagato who Alben had arranged to "kidnap" her and then put her into service with a pair of dominant trainers he had learned of. It was intended to be a reenactment of L'histoire d'O, a story she had found captivating when he had introduced it to her six months prior. The pirate was an unusual one who made sure to bring her packed luggage with his abductee.
Unfortunately, this group turned out to be unscrupulous and had passed her along to some fishermen on a nearby island, who in turn tired of this older woman and had given her to a group of young fishermen trying to get their own lives going.
Alben of course had long since departed the main island and gone home by then, skipping the return on the cruise ship in favor of a connecting flight back. And then he'd had the distraction of the new girl he'd met on Usenet, who traveled from Tennessee to live with him for several weeks. By the time he suspected something was amiss with Michelle, in what was supposed to be only a one-month vacation for him from his little subbie, it took quite a while to figure out how to start looking into the matter. Phone calls weren't being returned, and so forth. Meanwhile, he'd had to do things like rehire his old accountant, and bring in a maid once a week, to make up for the things he had taken for granted from Michelle. Annette from Tennessee certainly wasn't going to do his books for him, or even keep a decently clean kitchen and bathroom.
"Spent a lot of money tracking you down. Fortunately, an American in paradise kind of stands out, even in the remote corners."
"The boys take care of me," she added pleasantly. "And I take care of them."
"You know what they call you, right?"
"Vieille Folle Nue. The Crazy Naked Lady. I think it's cute."
"That's not it, exactly. They're calling you old. You know that, right? Crazy, naked, and old."
"Wonder what they call you, sweetheart." She giggled in the knowledge he was almost exactly 10 years older than herself. "Luc is 23. Jean-ChrΓ©tien is a little younger. I don't know about the others. Of course they'll call me older. I'm twice their age, aren't I? Old woman. It's like I'm their group cougar. It's fine."
"But you don't speak French, do you? It's Vieille Salope, they're calling you, and that doesn't mean old woman, Chelle."
"I know. Luc explained one night. It's just a joke. They love me. I love them. That's all I ever wanted, you know. I don't wanna go back to Maryland. Or anywhere. So if that's what you're here for, you should just go on back without me. I'm not coming." She giggled because she knew he might take that as a double-entendre, and she wondered what leering comment he might offer in reply.
"They don't respect you, Chelle. They're just using you. I'm here to rescue you."
"Maybe I'm using them. Ever think of that? I tell them what to do, and they do it. I'm sure you mean well, but I don't need rescuing."
Alben felt that same sense of panic, at hearing this, that he felt when his lawyer friend explained to him that he might be facing some troubles with law enforcement if he couldn't produce a better explanation for Michelle's whereabouts than he had given her two out-of-town sons. Criminal Negligence was a phrase that captured his imagination, in the worst way possible. Likewise the word Felony. He tried a slightly different angle. "You're just here on a tourist visa. You can't simply stay here indefinitely. With them, with anyone. They're going to find you, the immigration office I mean, and then there'll be hell to pay."
She laughed again, unconcerned. "I'll deal with it if I have to. I've got my passport."
"It's not the passport. It's the visa I'm talking about."
"I don't care. We'll handle it."
He tried his best not to betray his sense of frustration. "They're screwing you, and you're getting nothing in return. These, well, boys, that's all they are. Look around you. What's here? Nothing. These kids, they've got this crappy fishing boat, and what else?"
She smiled at the thought. "I've never eaten so fucking many fish in my life," she said with a lilt in her voice.
"Exactly." He felt he was getting somewhere now. "Dinner tonight, when we get back to St. Annagato, I'm buying you a steak. Forget the cost, nothing's too good for my pet."
"No, no, no," she protested. She did an impromptu deep knee bend and popped right back up. "I've never felt so good. Well, not since I had the babies anyway. Fish is good for you, you know. Fish oil, good for the joints."
"You can't just eat fish."
"Of course not, silly. They trade some of the fish they bring back for fruits and vegetables with the farmers across the island. It's a healthy diet. You should try it. Look at the boys. Luc and the others. Not an ounce of fat on their bellies. Did you notice the six-pack on Luc? And I'm getting there too. Look at me."
She twirled in place, confident in her absolute nudity like Alben had never seen her before. He did look her over closely. Up to then he'd ogled her flat tits with the tiny brown nipples, same way as he always had. And he'd taken note that her pubic hair was fully grown back, sloppy looking even, evidently not being shaved or even trimmed since the time of their parting. Her legs were hairier than he had ever seen -- the only other aspect of her appearance he found less attractive than before. He had already noted that she looked even thinner than before, but now he could see that her tiny buttocks had somewhat more definition to them, while the softness around her tummy was markedly less evident. She'd lost a bit of mass that he would ordinarily have told her she couldn't afford to lose -- but he had to admit that she looked great at this new lower weight.
And that's just what he told her. "You look great, Chelle." He thought for a second and added, "say, where's your glasses?"
"Inside. I can see well enough. They take care of things for me."
"Well, I can't wait to show you off to everybody."
She gave him the crooked smile that he knew meant she was looking at matters differently than he did. She gestured toward his crotch. "Want a blow job?"
"Sure. When we're back on St. Annagato."
"Nah, nah, mon. I mean now. Want me to suck your cock? The way you like it?" The way he liked it with her was deep, all the way, as far down her throat as his almost 18 centimeters would reach. He'd never had someone so willing to please and so able to do it.
"What's this 'mon' stuff? Come on. Let's get your stuff, put some clothes on you, and get you back to civilization. We can celebrate when we're at the place I rented. You'll love it. It's right by the ocean."
She gestured now to her right and then to her left. "This is right by the ocean, sweetheart. Here. This is civilization. For me. I've never been happier. Let me suck your cock, the way you like it. I know that's why you're here. I'll do that so you know I'm not angry. Something for your trouble. Something to remember me by. And then you can get back on your shuttle boat, go back to Maryland, and leave me here with Luc and the boys." She moved a step closer to him and tugged at the waistband of his shorts.
"What are you doing? Out here?" he asked.
She easily slid the garment down to mid-thigh, and since he wore nothing underneath, she thereby exposed his cock which at the moment was nothing near 18 centimeters. "Wait, you're not modest all of a sudden, are you?" She dropped gracefully to her knees. "After all the times I've blown you in front of others?"
