Her breath was ragged now. She had been running flat out dodging trees, bushes and loose branches where necessary. Emma Ross could not believe her predicament, although in reality her mind was focused simply on evading the two men now chasing her into the woods.

"Thank you, sir," said the bank clerk to her customer. As she handed him his cash, he was struck by how very pretty she was.
"How long have you worked here?" he asked.
"2 years," she replied, a little confused.
"And how old are you?"
"Twenty, just. Why do you ask?" she questioned.
"Because you could do a lot better," he said sliding his card under the counter shield to her. She glanced down at it, then, back up at the man. But he was gone.
"Outdoor Model Agency," she said to herself softly, "Mmmm, maybe I could do something different."
Emma, slightly against her better judgment, called the next day.
She was delighted with the conversation. The man remembered her, told her how pretty she was and how much of a success she would be. Emma soon found herself agreeing to a photo shoot this coming weekend, and, although not nude in any way, it was to be a pretty steamy session.
It was for this reason that she had insisted that only herself, the photographer and the lighting technician were present. Surely she was safe, they were professional, reputable people, weren't they? Well, apparently not!
* * * * *
It had all started out fine. The day had begun with a light breakfast, then a short drive in the photographer's open topped jeep to the clearing where the shoot would take place. All had still seemed fine even when Emma had kicked off her shoes and slipped off her denim jacket. As she turned to face them, in her faded blue jeans which rested firmly on her hips showing at least an inch of lacy, pink underwear and a tight fitting sports bra which was to double as a top for the shoot, she looked stunning.
It was only when Emma overheard snippets of their conversation, "...take her...little bitch...have our fun..." that she realized she was in trouble. Fortunately, at that moment, they weren't watching her, and she knew her only chance was there and then. So, bare foot and all, she took to her heels and sprinted off into the woods.
It took the men just a few seconds to register her escape but those seconds were important as Emma gained a lead and headed off into the thick forest of trees ahead.
She was now just a short way into the undergrowth but already they were gaining on her and the valuable seconds she had started out with were being eaten up. Fortunately, although she was less powerful than her would be captors, they were all having to battle against low hanging branches and tortuous routes around the trees. These factors meant that Emma was able to hold them off for far longer than she would otherwise have been able to, but still they gained more and more on her.
Her bare shoulders were being scratched continuously but she was oblivious to any pain as she desperately sought to evade the men. They could see, as they closed on her, how her short top was also being torn and the excitement this generated in their groins spurred them on.
Then she was gone.
One second they could see her, and then they couldn't. Somehow she had managed to skirt around the trees and bushes and had lost them. They stopped and looked around. Which way did she go? They looked at each other confused and frustrated.
"Aaaayeeee" they heard the shout, and then they smiled. Just a few paces ahead of them Emma had stood on a sharp rock, stumbled and now she lay on the leafy ground resting on her elbows staring up at them, with terror in her eyes.
"Well, well, look what we've found here, our source of fun for the rest of the day."
Emma began to shuffle backwards as best she could, but the men simply walked up to and around her, cajoling her, making her shuffle one way then the other. Emma begged for their mercy, but they laughed at her as one man flicked out his leg and pushed her down to the leafy bed, pinning her down with the sole of his shoe.
