Tina heard the tinkle of the bell over the front door and groaned. Some people can't take a "Sorry, We're Closed" sign for a hint. Whoever it was had to be blind, starving, or rude. Without turning from wiping the counter Tina said pleasantly, "Sorry, but we're closed. We open back up for breakfast at 7. Have a good night."
When she hadn't heard the bell tinkle again or a reply to her polite dismissal Tina stopped. Okay. Blind, hungry, rude,
and
deaf. She sighed and turned. She immediately recognized who the insistent customer was. She'd seen him in before several times. He had introduced himself as Bear. He'd always been nothing but gentlemanly and always left her a very big tip. Tina estimated that Bear was somewhere in his mid 40s. She'd never seen his eyes, only his blinding white smile against his dark skin, since he always wore those dark sunglasses with the silver galloping horses on the arms. He had waist-length jet-black hair down his back strung through a giant turquoise bead with a feather attached. The man truly took after a bear; he made the furniture in the diner look like it belonged in a doll's house. Despite being older and stocky, he seemed in relatively good shape, or at least didn't have the usual 40-something's beer gut.
Bear smiled. Tina took on a polite but distant smile. "Hi, Bear. We're closed for the night, okay?"
He took a step forward and finally spoke in his friendly, smoker's voice, "I know, Tina. Just thought I'd pay you a visit. Keep you company." He took another step.
Tina was getting a tad annoyed now. Her smile edged an inch closer to distant and farther away from polite. "Actually, I'm almost done here, so I'll just see you some other time, Bear."
Bear's smile widened. "Oh, come on, Tina. Keep an old man company for a while."
Alarms started going off in Tina's head. He suddenly didn't much resemble the gregarious uncle type she'd always perceived him as. A tense dance began as Tina took a step backwards and Bear took another step forward.
She was going to make one last attempt at being polite but firm, though at this point she was prepared to dash behind the counter for Tom's shotgun. She had no intention of using it, though Tom had made sure she knew how. Tina hoped Bear wouldn't make her go for it, and if he did try something, she hoped he wouldn't force her into feeling she would have to actually use the gun.
"Bear –" Tina took another step backwards and bumped into someone. She gasped and whirled away. It was Bear's usual companion, a 30-something guy whom she'd never heard speak beyond mumbling his order to her and at a distance when he conversed with Bear. They both dressed like the usual bikers: black leather, chaps, jeans, boots, jackets with some weird, flaming skull, an intimidating name, and a threatening motto on the back. The younger guy was much slimmer than Bear but still pretty damn big. He wore a permanent five o'clock shadow along a sharp jaw and had thick, charmingly disheveled black hair. He was more traditionally attractive than Bear, coming close to something like a bad-boy underwear model. Tina admitted to thinking he was gorgeous and always wondered what he looked like when – if he ever – smiled. She often thought she felt his stare on her when she wasn't looking. Bear referred to him as Harlan.
Harlan had effectively and stealthily cut off access to the shotgun. She hadn't even heard the back door open, close, or his booted steps through the kitchen. Where Bear had put up a friendly front, she could see in Harlan's eyes they plainly meant her no good. One last try: "Guys. It's time to go. I'm tired and I want to go h –
Ah!
"
Harlan grabbed her in an iron grip. "
Let me
go
, Goddammit!!
" Tina fought like a pissed-off wildcat. Despite the large amount of energy she was expending breaking the painful bands of Harlan's hands around her arms appeared to be out of the question so she tried another tactic; she aimed her knee for the prominent bulge in his jeans. It never contacted as he abruptly released her to fall painfully back onto her tail.
Whatever they wanted – cash or ass or both – they had free reign to take it; she had no hope of taking down or even slowing down either one of them without a weapon and no way to call for help.
Tina was silent. She was frozen by Harlan's cold eyes. "Get up." he mumbled. When she didn't respond with anything but a baleful glare he took a step toward her. He growled, "Would you like me to
help
you up, Tina?"
She got on her feet, keeping contact with Harlan's eyes the entire time. She didn't bother to ask what they wanted; they'd tell her or show her soon enough. The first clue came when Harlan stepped forward and ripped open her button-down dress. Tina startled but resisted the urge to cower with her arms over herself. Clenching her jaw, she calmly stared with defiant anger into Harlan's eyes. After a warning glare his gaze slowly moved downward, taking in what he had exposed: Tina had gotten more than a few come-ons, vulgar suggestions, and slaps on the ass in her time at the diner. Tom always made the offender leave and never come back. She couldn't help how well she filled out her uniform: her large breasts strained behind and above the neckline of her dress no matter what minimizing bra she wore. Her ass insisted on being juicy, her legs insisted on being long, and her wide hips insisted on swaying seductively. All this was currently held back by comparatively flimsy bra and panties. Even if she hadn't had a luscious body, her pretty blue eyes – the same color as Harlan's only much warmer – would have gotten her attention along with her long black hair, and pouty lips.
As slowly as they had descended Harlan's eyes traveled back up her body and locked on hers again. Tina only blinked when she heard Bear directly behind her, "Well, what have we got here, Harlan? Everything you thought she'd be?" She had forgotten Bear altogether. But that was okay; she had enough hate to go around.
"Turn around, Tina; Bear would like to see you, " Harlan commanded. After a few seconds in which she hadn't moved beyond hardening her glare, Harlan stepped closer so that their noses were centimeters apart. Her breasts were pressed against his shirt and his erection brushed the front of her panties. "
Tina!
" he barked, causing her to jump. "I don't like repeating myself," he hissed.
Tina closed her eyes to shut out his compelling stare and slowly turned around. The two men were so close that she didn't have much space to maneuver in and her hand brushed across Harlan's fly. She felt him expel a quick breath onto her neck. When she was finally facing Bear she felt Harlan's hands at her shoulders. He pulled her ruined dress down her arms and let it drop to the floor. He took up the last little space left by stepping forward and pressing his body to her back, breathing on her neck, settling his large, hot hands on her hips, and pushing his erection between her ass cheeks. She stiffened and unintentionally pushed her breasts into Bear.
"Oh! Are you warming up to us, Tina?" he laughed. Tina refused to open her eyes or speak. "Oh, now, sweetheart. Don't be like that. Can't blame us for liking a sweet girl like you." Bear's giant hand rose and captured one of Tina's breasts, squeezing gently. Tina began trembling and whimpered before she could stop herself. "That's better," Bear said. "We're not going to hurt you. We're going to make you feel good, actually. Isn't that right, Harlan?"
"That's right." Harlan's whisper on Tina's neck sent a strong tremor down her back causing her to arch into his erection. He squeezed her hips with his fingers and prodded her in the ass again. This pushed her forward into Bear. She was now being squeezed between their bodies.
"Why don't you set these babies free, Harlan?" Bear said rubbing together Tina's breasts. She felt Harlan's hands lift from her hips, leaving cold spots where they had been, and a second later her bra fell from her chest. "Mmmmm.....God must have broken the mold with you, Tina." Bear bent and slipped one of her large nipples into his mouth.
Tina felt Harlan gathering up her hair in his hand. She tensed in anticipation of him yanking her head back. Instead he gently pulled so the side of her neck was exposed. She was not surprised at how soft his lips were as he dragged them along her shoulder, though Tina had always thought they looked too soft to belong to a man with such hard eyes. She was instead surprised that he chose to use them in such a gentle fashion. She was still trembling and had to be realistic with herself – it wasn't completely fear and anger anymore. She wished they would be more forceful, more rough. Rape shouldn't feel good.
Bear was still going at her breasts, having switched over to the other one. Tina balled her hands up to keep from pulling his head closer. Harlan suddenly bit into her neck. She gasped. He whispered, "Did I hurt you?" He really hadn't; he'd only applied firm pressure with his teeth, not even enough to cause a temporary indentation. He tugged lightly at her hair when she didn't immediately respond. "
