****
It was midnight. Flames from the family room fireplace provided heat and light on a cool October night. My wife Laura and I were lying on a roomy leather sofa not far from the fire. I had already discarded my clothing. Laura was wearing a very short dress that she often wore when we had sex. The dress buttoned up the front from hem to neckline. I had long since unfastened all the buttons. Laura wore nothing else so her entire body, or at least those parts of greatest interest to me under the circumstances, was exposed.
I was currently sucking lightly on one of her nipples and my hand was between her thighs slowly finger fucking her toward her second orgasm of the night. My intention was to lift her to the very edge and then enter her at just the right moment. If my timing was good, penetration alone would push her into orgasm and then, with careful control of my thrusts, I could hold her in a high state of arousal for several minutes. If all went well, and it often did, I could drive her into one final shattering climax that would coincide with my own.
Laura was reacting nicely to my efforts, crying out softly with every movement of my hand as I gently probed her pussy. I increased the tempo and she began rhythmically rocking her hips as her arousal started to peak. I knew she would cum soon so I began to shift my weight in preparation for rolling between her legs and pushing my cock deep inside to drive her over the edge.
Just as I decided the time was right and started to open Laura's thighs further, I heard the unmistakable oily click of a weapon's safety being released and felt the icy touch of steel on the back of my neck.
"Don't move," commanded a male voice behind me. I froze.
Laura had been lost in her arousal and it took a few moments for her to react. She looked up and saw the assailant I could not see, let out a sharp cry, and started to struggle against me.
"Cool it. Both of you stay put. Jill, move to one side so you can cover them both while I back away."
Jill? What the hell was going on? I was still lying on my side facing Laura and had not yet seen the others in the room. Laura was looking over my shoulder at them with a horrified expression on her face. I could feel her heart hammering against my chest. My own pulse was racing as well.
I felt the barrel of the weapon being removed from my neck and heard movement behind me.
"Okay, Kevin. Get up slowly and move over to the chair. Laura, don't move." I was astonished that they knew our names.
I did as directed and slowly rolled off the sofa onto my feet, my nudity making me feel extraordinarily vulnerable as I turned to face our intruders.
There were only two of them as far as I could tell. They were dressed in camouflage clothing, black sneakers, and had Lone Ranger-style masks over their faces. They would have looked silly if they had not been so well armed.
The woman, Jill presumably, was pointing an automatic weapon at a point halfway between Laura and me in order to cover us both. I recognized it as a Heckler & Koch MP5. The man stood several feet away loosely holding an M-16. I was intimately familiar with both weapons. Highly regulated, it was unlikely that they had been obtained legally.
Both intruders looked like they knew what they were doing. Completely at ease, it was apparent to me that they had done this before. Perhaps many times. Although most of their faces were concealed, neither looked like psychotic monsters. I was almost as much puzzled as afraid.
"Kevin, don't make me repeat myself. Move slowly over to the chair and sit down."
The chair in question was a large, heavily padded mate to the leather sofa. I did as directed and walked slowly over to lower myself into place. Laura had changed to a sitting position and had gathered her dress together in the front to cover her nakedness. She looked so frightened that I started to get back up and was immediately confronted with the muzzle of Jack's rifle.
"Kevin, sit down. Laura, don't move. If either of you gets up again there will be consequences. You won't like them. Do exactly as you're told and no one will get hurt." I slowly complied.
"What do you want? How do you know our names? How did you get in the house?" I asked.
"First things first. Allow me to make the introductions. You may call me Jack. The lovely lady over there is my wife Jill. Of course those are not our real names, but they will do nicely for tonight."
"We've been observing you for quite some time," Jack continued. "County records provided your names from the property deed. We've researched you carefully. We know your business activities. We have a key to your home. You'd be surprised at how many people in this country keep a key in a magnetic case on the underside of their gas grill. It was a simple matter to make a copy while you were off the property."
"We got your security code by watching through a telescope as you entered it into the keypad. You are pretty indiscriminate about closing your blinds, particularly at night. We have watched you having sex on several occasions. Quite the turn-on. We have been in your house more than once while you were absent. Tonight we decided to pay you a visit. As usual, your drapes were open and we could see that you weren't expecting company, so we decided to let ourselves in."
Some explanation is in order. Laura and I live on several isolated, heavily wooded acres outside of Milwaukee. We had never felt that our privacy was at risk until tonight. The man was right; we had grown careless over the years. We rarely closed the curtains.
"You still haven't said what you want from us," said Laura. She had regained some of her composure and was now glaring at our visitors.
"Here's the deal," said Jack. "We are all going to spend the night in this room together. Just one big happy family. In the morning, when your bank opens, Kevin and I are going there and he is going to withdraw $50,000 in cash. Jill will stay here with Laura until we return. When we get back, you will both be immobilized and Jill and I will be on our way. You will probably work yourself loose before you die of thirst."
I looked at Laura. I could see her face relax a little and I could finally feel my heart rate begin to slow. It was all about money and we had more than enough. The loss of $50,000 would be irritating, but hardly catastrophic. Once they were gone, we'd change the locks, upgrade our security system, and be more careful in the future. I was confident that we could free ourselves after they left. The police might even recover some of the money.
"And there's one more thing, Kevin," Jack continued. "While we're waiting, I'm going to fuck your wife."
Laura reacted immediately with a soft moan. I was stunned. I looked at Jack hoping to find some hint that he was joking. He held my gaze without expression. When I looked at Jill, she simply shrugged.
"There is nothing either of you can do to stop it from happening. This is how it'll be. I won't make you watch. I'll take her back to the bedroom and fuck her there. You and Jill will be able to hear everything I tell her since the room is only short distance away. I will give Laura some instructions from time to time. If she refuses to obey immediately, I will have to repeat myself. The first time Jill hears me do that, she will shoot you in the kneecap. If Laura forces me to repeat myself again, Jill will shoot your other kneecap. And then your elbows. And so on. I hope both of you get the picture."
Laura was now visibly shaken, still holding her dress closed with both hands. I was heartsick. I also knew that Jack was right; there wasn't a damned thing we could do to prevent what was about to happen.
Several years before, Laura and I had begun to play an intriguing game where we would selectively bring others into our sex lives. We have an apartment over a detached garage on the property that is especially equipped for trysts with those we invite in. We alternated picking up partners in upscale bars and bringing them back to the apartment for sex.
The apartment has an observatory where we can watch each other's activities and record them digitally to enjoy together later. Our guests never knew they were being observed. As a result of this game, we'd each had several partners over the years, all closely scrutinized by the occupant of the observatory.
The sex had always been consensual and we always took steps to protect Laura. I was in little danger from a female partner, but there was always some risk that Laura would inadvertently make a dangerous pickup. I keep a weapon in the observatory and Laura was confident that I could protect her if things got out of hand since I was always concealed just a few feet away. As a result of our activities in the apartment, Laura had been fucked by a short list of very fortunate men but she had never been forced into sex. It was now clear to both of us that her rape was inevitable.
Jack placed his rifle against the wall behind Jill, crossed the room and said to Laura, "Take my hand."
Laura hesitated and I heard Jill click the safety off her weapon.
"Take my hand. And that is the last freebie Kevin gets. Disobey me again and Jill will shoot him."
Laura looked at me and, realizing there was nothing she could do, reached up and took his hand. He pulled her to her feet and led her into the short hallway that connected our bedroom to the family room. She looked small and helpless, taking hesitant steps but being forced to keep pace. Laura was still trying to hold her dress closed with one hand as he pulled her along by the other. They were soon out of sight. I thought I would die, forced to sit naked in the chair while my wife was led off to be raped.
Our house has a strange acoustical anomaly. A short hallway connects the master bedroom to the family room. For some reason, every sound in the bedroom is amplified to the point where it can be clearly heard in the family room.
