                        Nightmare Holiday



                             Foreword

     "Fran!  Aren't you about packed yet?"  Renee stood back to
survey the mountain of luggage.  Ye gads, she thought.  It's only
a two week Christmas vacation.  She hugged herself.  It was two
weeks of freedom from the high school classes she taught.  It was
two weeks away from this manless town.
     "Fran!  Hurry up!"
     "Coming."  Renee's roommate came into the room mumbling
around the hairpin in her mouth, pinning her honey blonde hair
back with both hands.
     "Just think, Fran!  Two whole weeks in sunny Mexico."  Renee
did a little pirouette and clicked her fingers.  Her long, black
pony tail swirled through the air behind her.
     "Right you are, sweet.  And with that sunshine maybe we'll
meet up with a smooth talking Casanova or two.  He WAS Mexican,
wasn't he?"
     Ruefully, Renee shook her head. "Spanish."
     "Oh, well," Fran finally got the hairpin in place, "maybe he
has some Mexican descendants.  I hear he did get around."
     Renee hugged Fran.  "Stop talking about men all the time,
silly.  There are other things in life."
     Fran adjusted her skirt, straightened her stockings, looked
at herself obliquely in the mirror.  "If you say so, Renee.  But
let me know when you find it ..."
     "It's better than teaching school!"
     Fran laughed.  "You said it that time.  If I never see
another English class, I'll end my days in peace."
     She was interrupted by the urgent honking of a horn.
     Renee peeked through the blinds.  "It's the cab, Fran."
     "Well?  Don't just stand there.  Lure the driver in.
Somebody's got to carry the bags."



                            Chapter 1

     Renee couldn't take her eyes away.  The girl's panties were
around her ankles.  She was squeezed in a human sandwich between
two men.  Behind her, the man was guiding his huge penis into her
ass with his hand.  His face was hideous, twisted.  Renee didn't
want to look.  But she couldn't take her eyes away.
     Dimly, in the background, she heard the whir of the movie
projector, smelled the sweat and cologne that permeated the room.
Inside she was sick.  She'd never dreamed it would be anything
like this.  And still she couldn't stop looking.
     On the flickering movie screen the girl's mouth was open. She
was screaming, or saying something, or crying.  Renee couldn't
tell which since there was no sound with the movie.  Slowly, the
girl's butt caught the man's rhythm and jerked with it, cramming
the huge prick in inch by inch.
     The camera swept over her jolting hips and settled on the
prick in front.  The dark, swollen head nestled in her black pubic
hair.  It was still wet, shiny from the girl's mouth.  She had
been sucking it only moments earlier as the men stripped her.
     Renee quivered.  She'd never seen a cock that big.  Her ass
ached with sympathy for the girl in the movie, but her vagina held
an unceasing itch that made her wiggle and squirm for relief.
     The man guided his penis with his hand.  The great head
flared out like a dark, blood-filled mushroom pushing relentlessly
against the girl's slit.  She tried to pull away and succeeded
only in driving the other man's large cock deeper into her
asshole.
     Behind her, the man said something, grinned, then grabbed the
girl's hips with both hands and jerked her tight against him.
     The girl's mouth snapped open.  In her mind Renee imagined
she heard the shrill cry of anguish.  The agony of the probing
prick.  And then the man in front drove forward, pushing her cunt
open like it was wet paper.
     The girl was gasping.  The two men had matched their cadence,
driving in together, lifting her off her feet on their spearing
pricks.
     Up she went, her toes straining to touch the ground as they
rammed into her.  Down, and her knees sagged while the endless
lengths of cock pulled out of her, shining in the movie lights.
     Renee was sweating. Her own breath came in harsh gasps in
empathy with the girl.  What was she doing here?  In a Mexican
whorehouse watching a dirty movie?  She tore her gaze from the
screen and peeked at Fran's patrician profile outlined against the
beam of light from the projector.  It was Fran's idea.  When that
Mexican cab driver said he could take them to see some dirty
movies, Fran jumped at the chance.  "Don't be a virgin," Fran
chided patronizingly when Renee had objected.
     But it didn't take much chiding.  Renee had to admit that.
She was curious.  She'd never seen a dirty movie.  She'd never
seen people making love and she'd wondered how it would affect
her.  So she had nodded and Fran told the taxi driver "yes!"
     Renee's glance was drawn back to the pictures on the screen.
She gasped.
     One of the whores, a big-breasted brunette with the high,
flat cheekbones of an Indian, was sitting on a man's lap.  The
woman had the front of his pants open and was pulling his penis
into view while he watched the movie.
     Hastily Renee looked away, focusing her eyes back on the
screen where the two men were pounding their pricks into the poor
girl at a furious rate.  Her panties had slipped off her feet and
her legs were splayed so that she was held up only by the vicious
ramming.
     Her mouth was working as the men made their last hard,
desperate assaults and plunged deep into her as their sperm shot
into her.
     Renee looked into her eyes.  They seemed to be staring
straight at her from the screen.  Tears ran down the girl's
cheeks.  But her hips still convulsed between the two, immobile
men as they milked the intruding cocks for the last morsel of
nourishment.
     And the screen was blank white and the lights went on.
Renee's eyes hurt from the sudden glare.  She blinked, gingerly,
afraid to really close her eyes in a place like this.
     "Fran, let's go."
     "Wait a minute."  Fran was staring at something.  Renee
followed the direction of her gaze and blushed.  A whore in a
gaudy blue and white dress had the skirt around her waist showing
the dark fur between her legs.  One of her prospective customers
was nuzzling her crotch, his tongue flicking wildly as it caressed
her slit.
     Renee shivered, imagining that hot, greedy tongue at her own
crack.  "Fran," she whispered.  "Let's go."
     "All right, Sissy."  Fran picked up her purse and led the way
across the room.
     Renee tried not to look.  But it was all around her.  The men
and prostitutes acting like animals.  Ripping and tearing each
other sexually.
     "Going, girls?"  The Mexican at the door leered as he opened
it for them.
     "What else is there to stay for?"  Fran stopped to ask her
question, half in and half out of the door.
     "Oh," the Mexican winked.  "There is mas ... more.  Maybe you
come back later we have a mucho especial show tonight."
     "When?"
     "A las dos, senorita."
     Renee could see Fran frowning mentally as she tried to
convert dos into its numerical equivalent in English.  "Two,
Fran," she whispered.  "Come on, let's go."
     "All right."  She smiled at the doorman.  "A las dos, senor."
     "Si, senorita," he leered.  "You come back then, okay?"
     "Okay!" Fran agreed.  Then Renee pushed her outside and the
door was closed behind them.
     Fran straightened her hair.  "Really, Renee, sometimes you
act like a child."
     Renee didn't pay any attention.  She was happy taking deep
breaths of fresh air untainted by the smell of stale sex and
cigarettes.  Fran would cool off after a while.  The thing that
counted was the fact that they were out of there.
     When they had crossed the border at San Ysidro, Fran hadn't
given the slightest hint she was interested in anything more than
sight-seeing.  It was thrilling enough for Renee.  It was the
first time she had ever been on foreign soil.
     The fact that Tijuana was a border town with an international
reputation as a hell hole of perversion lent spice to the
experience, but Renee didn't have any desire to learn any of the
perversions---or even see the inside of anything more licentious
than the main street bars.
     It would be enough to see the statues on the Avenida
Revoluccion, trade some of her college Spanish with a waitress or
two, and then get safely back to Eureka, Montana.
     School teaching wasn't very adventurous, Renee thought
ruefully.  But adventure wasn't everything.  Renee set her lips
tightly.  Maybe getting screwed in a snowbank by John Benter
wasn't the most exciting thing possible, but it was safe and
assured.
     They had walked up the hill and crossed the main street when
Fran suddenly grabbed her arm.  "We're being followed, Renee!"
     The fear Renee was holding in check got away from her and
flooded through her body.  Her knees felt weak.  Blood drummed in
her ears.  She glanced hack and then was hurrying forward with
Fran.
     There were two men behind them.  She couldn't swear to it, of
course, but she thought she recognized one of them from the place
they had left.  All of the terrible fears that haunted her came to
the surface: the fear of being a stranger in a strange place, fear
of being in the dark, of rape and violence.  Fear of fear itself.
Blindly, Renee followed Fran's lead.
     The streets were well lighted, but empty.  A chill wind cut
through the wool of Renee's sweater and stroked her breasts with
cold hands.  Skittering before the wind, a Mexican newspaper
fluttered down the street to wrap itself around the tire of a
parked car.
     It waved blindly for help.  A corner of the front page turned
in the breeze, flapped for attention.  Muerte, it said in huge,
black type.  Muerte.  Death.
     "We've got to get off the street, Fran."
     Both women were breathing hard. Fran nodded.  Along the
buildings a huge electric sign spelled out the words "Brooklyn
Bar."  Fran almost ran through the doorway.  Renee was only
seconds behind her.
     Inside it was black.  Slowly their eyes adjusted to the
gloom.
     They were being jostled along a rail that ran parallel to the
bar.
     "What you have, ladies?"
     A fat bartender leaned across the wood-topped bar and
breathed halitosis and onions on the two women.  "What you have,
ladies?"
     "Beer," Fran said quickly.  Renee nodded.  The bartender
flipped the caps off two skinny bottles and plunked them down on
the bar.  A white cap of foam welled out of the tops and slid down
the sides to lay in puddles on the bar.  Fran fought with her
purse and gave the bartender some money.
     "Senoritas?"  A waiter in a ragged white jacket led them to a
table on the edge of the stage.
     Renee sighed and set her beer gingerly on the table.
     "Never again, Fran.  Never!"
     "Relax, Renee.  "We're out of it, aren't we?"
     "I guess."  Renee sipped her beer and almost choked.  It was
bitter.  More bitter than any American beer she ever drank.
Squinting, she held the bottle up to catch the dim light in the
room.  The label was green, or at least, it looked green.  On the
front it said "Mexicali".
     Renee examined their refuge for the first time since they'd
come in.  It was a huge room almost completely without lights, one
side lined with a bar.  Opposite the door, where she sat with
Fran, a galvanized iron pipe railing outlined a tiny, floor-level
stage.  The room was noisy with voices.  Prostitutes, perhaps
thirty or forty of them, moved from table to table.  The men sat,
talked, laughed, using their hands in a ritual of sex that seemed
to be without pleasure.
     While Renee watched, one of the women pulled a sailor away
from his beer by the hand and led him toward the door.
     They were attracting their own share of attention Renee
realized.  The men, most of whom appeared to be Americans, were
constantly glancing their way.  Sizing them up, Renee supposed.
     Harsh, strident music suddenly flooded the room from behind a
dingy, red curtain at one end of tile stage.  It was paced by a
throbbing drum, the blood-tingling blare of a trumpet.
     The curtain flicked back for a second to reveal the musicians
pounding their music into the microphone, and then the
entertainers undulated onto the stage.
     There were two of them.  Young girls who bumped and ground
their way in a two-step the length of the stage, then turned and
filed back around just out of reach of the customers' grasping
hands.
     One of the girls unsnapped her bra, exposing her pendulous
breasts.  She began swaying along the pipe, batting groping hands
away as they pawed at her out of the darkness.  In the center of
the stage the other girl was doing a bump and grind, flipping her
panties down over her hips in cadence to the music while the
Mexican doorman blinked his flashlight on and off, trying to catch
her hairy vagina in the circle of light while her panties were
down.
     The girl moving along the rail was coming closer to their
table, Renee realized.  She also finally understood what the rail
was for.
     Holding the man's hands away, the girl had stopped in front
of a table and thrust her breasts out while one of the spectators
leaned over the rail and sucked her tit.
     She continued bumping and grinding while he clung tenaciously
to her breast.  His friends were laughing and yelling "Ole, ole!"
     Finally, the girl pulled away with a provocative twitch of
her hip, leaving her---Renee searched for a word and finally
pounced on one in desperation---admirer---sucking wind.  His
friends laughed and, when he tried to scramble into the little
fenced-off stage, pulled him back.
     She bobbed and swayed her way down the rail, her suckled tit
higher, tauter than the other, the nipple glistening in the dim
light.  For a long moment the girl stood in front of their table--
-staring into Renee's eyes with an expression she wasn't sure she
could read.  Hate?  Envy?  Pity?  It seemed all of these.  Yet,
the girl said nothing.  Wordlessly, she turned away, gliding down
the rail to the next tablefull of gaping men.
     After seeing the look in the dancer's eyes, Renee wasn't sure
of anything anymore.  Just that she wanted out, now!
     "Let's go, Fran," she insisted.
     "Wait!"  The older women reached across the table and gripped
Renee tightly by the wrist.  "Look!"
     Across the stage, the other girl had started to travel down
the rail.  She still wore her bra.
     "My God!" Renee gasped.
     The girl had pushed her panties down around her thighs and
was moving slowly, sensuously along the rail talking to the men.
     A sailor, dressed in his winter blues, reached out with one
hand.  The girl caught his wrist and gently guided his fingers
between her legs where they tickled the black mat of hair.  She
said something and laughed and then rocked her hips against the
hand.
     Pushing the sailor's hand away, she reached out and took the
cigarette from his mouth.  Throwing her hips out, she lodged the
glowing ember in her pubic hair then, shuffling her feet like a
dancer, turned completely around holding her arms over her head,
the tiny white stick in her twat glowing an angry red.
     When she faced the sailor again she handed the cigarette back
to him and he put it in his mouth, sucking greedily.
     The sight revolted Renee.  And still her body reacted to it.
She felt her panties getting wet between her thighs.
     For a moment the girl and the sailor talked, gesturing.  Then
the sailor gave her something and the girl nodded her head.  She
stepped closer to the railing.  Putting his hands on her hips, the
sailor lowered his face until it was buried in the black mat of
hair.
     Renee quivered.  It was too far to see his mouth, his probing
tongue, the girl's hot crack.  But all the same, Renee felt the
sailor's lips and mouth working at her, transmitted to her through
the girl.
     It seemed to go on forever.  The man's head against the
girl's body.  Finally, she moved on---only to do it again and
again and again.
     Renee was exhausted by the time the girl reached their table.
It was all she could do to keep from screaming out as she
witnessed the girl coldly performing an act that set Renee's
nerves on fire just to watch.
     The girl paused in front of their table too, and Renee
wondered inanely if she was expected ... to do that thing to her
too.  The girl just shrugged, opening her closed fist so the glint
of silver showed.  Suddenly, Renee realized why she was doing it.
For money.  For quarters.  Every man that stopped her at the rail
gave her a quarter.
     Then she was gone.  The waiter, a swarthy, short man, his
white jacket dirty at the cuffs, the hem worn and frayed, came up
to the table.
     "More beer, ladies?  Maybe something stronger this time, no?"
     "Let's get out of here, Fran," Renee pleaded across the
table.  Fran nodded and Renee told the waiter, "No, gracias."
     "Don' go, ladies," the waiter said, "there be more later.
Bigger show.  Better."
     "How?" Fran asked acidly.  "How can they do anymore on that
stage than they've already done?"
     "Don' worry, ladies," the waiter said again.  "You wait.  You
see!"
     They pushed past him to the door.  Renee felt hemmed in,
trapped in the filthy room.  From the darkness in the back there
were scattered wolf whistles as they left.
     Outside, the night had grown no brighter, but the street
lights and bar signs seemed to give off more light than the house
lights inside.
     "What time is it?" Fran asked.
     Renee glanced at her watch.  "One-thirty.  Why?"
     "We've got to hurry if we're going to be back at that other
place by two."
     She couldn't believe what she had heard.  Renee's mouth
dropped open and she felt stunned.  "You can't mean it, Fran?"
     "Why not?"
     "It's just too ... too ugly.  You don't really want to go
back there, do you?"
     "Of course I do.  And so do you."  Fran turned to look at
Renee.  "There'll never be another chance like this, Renee.  We'll
go back to Eureka and read dime novels and hope a worthwhile man
will come to town once before we dry up and wither away.  And
we'll never know what it was that was going to happen at two
o'clock in that crummy whorehouse in Tijuana."
     "So what?" Renee's eyes flashed.  "Maybe it'll be better not
knowing."
     "You don't have to come!"
     "You'd go alone?"
     "If you won't."  Fran opened her purse and calmly used her
mirror to adjust her makeup by the light of the street lights.
She put her compact back and snapped the brown leather bag shut
with a click.  "After all," she said, "just because you're chicken
..."



                            Chapter 2

     Renee struggled against the scorn in Fran's voice.  She
didn't want to admit it, but her friend was right.
     She hadn't come to Tijuana to buy bamboo purses or look at
moldy old statues of a revolution that was reincarnated in history
books and countless Hollywood movies.  She was here to FEEL sin,
to see it, to touch it and smell it the way she never would in
Eureka where it was buried in cellars and blacked-out rooms.  She
wanted to move through it without being touched.
     So far, that's what they'd done.  There was no reason why
they couldn't go on.  Mexico was a civilized country.
     It was just her inbred prejudices: distrust of a language she
stumbled through with the grace of a wounded elephant, suspicion
of men who were different from those she was used to, loneliness
for the sight of a symbol of authority and law and order---like a
solidly real cop in a blue uniform walking down the street
twirling his nightstick.
     Could she forgive herself for letting Fran go by herself?  Of
course not?  She laughed uneasily.  "All right, Fran.  We'll go.
But not alone!"
     "Who do you suggest we go with?  John Wayne?"
     "Well," Renee said.  "He'd be a comfort."
     "Look, we haven't much time."
     "Okay, let's get looking then.  We haven't much time."
Grabbing Fran's arm Renee tugged her down the sidewalk.  She had
to hurry.  Fran was getting impatient and Renee had roomed with
the older woman long enough to know that she was going to be
pushing to go and nothing would stop her.
     When she'd made the statement about not going alone,
something had popped into her head.  What she wanted was a solid
American male.  The sort that showed up at barn dances and then
scraped his feet because he was too shy to dance.  It would also
help her morale, she thought grimly, if he was a professional
football player on the sidecar a golden gloves champion.  But at
two o'clock in the morning, they weren't what they turned up.
     "Well," Fran said impatiently.  "We don't have all night."
     Renee looked about helplessly.  There wasn't anybody on the
streets.  The only thing they could do was try the bars.
     The closest nightclub didn't seem too likely a place.  It had
the outrageous name "Boom Boom Club" flashing across its whole
front with photographs of half-naked women decorating the
entrance.  They pushed past the doorman before he could get the
curtain pulled back for them and plunged into the club.  It was
much lighter than the Brooklyn Bar.  A huge room, half empty, with
a large dance floor in the center occupied, temporarily anyway, by
a comedian with a microphone.  He was telling dirty jokes in less
than perfect English.
     Renee looked around. Her heart plummeted.  It was hopeless.
There wasn't a man in the place she'd trust to hold her purse,
much less protect her.  She turned to go, then realized Fran had
started off on her own.
     Fran slid onto a stool at the bar next to a burly sailor
wearing a string of hash marks down his sleeve.
     Renee grabbed Fran's arm and tugged her off the stool before
she could get set.  The sailor had turned and was looking them
both over appreciatively.  Renee kept her head turned away, just
so he wouldn't get the wrong idea and make something out of a
stray glance.
     "Well, it's what you want, isn't it? Fran complained.  She
flashed the sailor a smile and followed Renee outside.
     "I did not want a sailor!"
     "Why not?" Fran pouted.  "I thought he was cute.  And I'll
bet he's tough as leather."
     "Because he's a sailor.  That's why.  We need protection---
not a boards party."
     "Maybe that's what you need," Fran shot back.
     Renee ignored the jibe and walked away, leaving Fran to make
up her mind whether to follow or not as she wanted to do.  What
Fran said had hit a nerve, even if she didn't show it.  It could
well be that what was bothering her was more than just a desire to
be safe.
     Angry, Renee pushed the thought away.  It didn't change her
mind.  No sailors.  And that was that!
     Renee pushed the first door she came to and sighed with
relief.  The sign said "Capri Bar," but it was really a music bar.
At one end, water splashed down a cement waterfall.  The bar had a
few solitary figures sitting at the bar.  There were no whores.
     Making a snap decision, Renee sat down next to a man near the
end of the bar.  He was wearing a suit and looked around thirty.
Pleasant, but heavily built.  He didn't look up when she sat down.
     "Excuse me," she said timidly.  "But I don't know any
Spanish.  How do you order a drink here?"
     "Try English."  The man's voice wasn't exactly encouraging.
But Fran was standing gesturing at her wrist, trying to indicate
urgency.
     Fran's display of impatience made Renee's mind up for her and
she decided to drop the facade and phony buildup she planned.
     "Look," she said.  "You're an American, aren't you?"
     "Unfortunately!"  The answer was dryly ironic.
     Renee wished she had time to try again.  But time was running
out.  "We're Americans too ..."
     "That's the trouble.  Most people are."
     Renee ignored him.  The more he talked the surer she was that
he was more than just a little drunk.
     "We were hoping you'd do us a favor."
     "Anything your little hearts desire."  The drunk hoisted his
glass and toasted Renee in silent salute.
     "My friend wants to go to a ... to a dirty show tonight,"
Renee blurted out and then blushed.  "I can't let her go alone.
And I won't go with her by myself.  Could you ... could you come
along as sort of an escort?"  Renee's voice trailed off and she
realized how ridiculous she sounded.  But she couldn't help that
now.
     "Of course."  Swaying slightly, the man slid off the stool
and stood, a little wobbly-legged to be sure, but at least he
stood.  Renee was thankful for that.
     She took one of his arms and Fran took the other.  Between
them, they steered him to the street where they waved down a cab.
     Fran helped cram their "escort" into the back of the cab.
"We would have been better off with the sailor," she said in an I-
told-you-so voice.
     Renee got in the cab and instantly cranked the window down.
Their companion reeked of liquor.  Anyway, she shivered as the
chill breeze swept the vehicle, the air might do some good to his
circulatory system.
     The driver seemed happy to get rid of them.  He was muttering
something like "gringa loco" through the heavy scarf he had worn
around his face.  When he got back in the blue and white cab, the
first thing he did was roll up all the windows and turn the heater
on full blast.
     Whipping through the enclosed yard, the wind had the force of
a hurricane.  Fortunately, it was behind them.  It made moving
their happy friend in the right direction a little less of a
chore.
     At the door Fran asked the doorman, "Are we on time?"
     "Por cierto, senorita.  Always."  He bowed, but Renee noticed
his leer changed to a frown as he looked their companion over.
     "Quien es?"
     "A friend," Renee said quickly, before Fran could pour it all
out.  She felt silly enough, dragging him along without having
Fran blab it all over the place.
     "Bien," the doorman said.  His voice didn't mean it, though.
     He collected their money.  Renee winced when she realized
Fran expected her to foot the bill for their escort, who was
pawing ineffectually at his pockets.
     Once inside, they were guided back to the room they had been
in earlier.  Only the movie projector and screen were gone.  A
circle had been cleared in the center of the room, the chairs and
couches ringing it.  Overhead, two floodlights blazed down on the
small section of flooring.
     Renee led the way to a small couch and sat down, putting what
she was beginning to think of as "her burden" between herself and
Fran.
     Slowly, the room started to fill.  Renee realized mostly with
men.  But here and there a man and a woman edged in and took seats
near the back.
     "Where are we?"  The voice was thick, uncertain.
     "Do you remember our conversation?"
     There was a pause and Renee could almost see the wheels
grinding slowly in her companion's head.  Finally he nodded.
"Yes.  I remember."
     "Well?"
     "Oh!"  The man lifted his head and looked around carefully.
Renee noticed he was avoiding sudden movements.  He had broadly
chiseled features.  High cheekbones, heavily slabbed cheeks, a
broad forehead with his eyes dug in, deeply separated by a thick
nose already dented, as if it had been broken and improperly. In a
way, his appearance gave Renee a feeling of confidence.
     "My name is Alex," he rumbled suddenly.
     I'm Renee."
     "Sorry about being drunk.  Thought you could tell."
     Renee blushed and shook her head.  "Not until you stood up."
     "That bad?"
     Renee nodded.
     The man started staring around the room.  His eyes lingered.
It was almost as if he took the room piece by piece and memorized
each section carefully.
     "Alex," Renee stumbled, then hurried on.  "If you want to go,
you're not obligated to stay."
     "I paid my money, didn't I?"
     Renee started to say something.  Then thought better of it
and shut her mouth.  If he knew she paid he ought make a scene
giving her the money back---or just walk out.
     The whorehouse didn't give her enough confidence to want to
be left alone.  And, strangely, even though Alex was less than
fully alert, he exuded a sort of physical strength that reassured
her.
     Finally, Alex scratched at his head awkwardly.  "Look," he
said.  "I don't know how to say this, but you were probably right
about not wanting to come here alone.  The best thing, I think, is
for you to pretend I'm your husband.  It satisfies a lot of
conventions down here."
     Renee blushed.  Not because he said it, but because of what
she was feeling at the thought of actually being married to Alex.
She nodded.  And then she realized the two of them had been
overlooking Fran.
     She leaned across Alex toward Fran and quivered at the feel
of his heat seeping into her.
     "Really," Fran was saying.  "I don't know where he came from.
My friend was afraid to come here alone so she picked him up."
Fran's voice took on a pained tone as she shifted gears.  "We
don't even know what his name is."
     Renee groaned to herself.  Fran was prattling on to some
good-looking Mexican a little younger than herself, who had
somehow managed to convince the couch to hold four instead of
three.
     He was nodding his head and answering quietly like a star-
struck swain basking in Fran's beauty and the dumb cluck was
eating it up.
     The less he said, the more she had to say.  Fran was running
on and on about Eureka and what a regular little Peyton Place it
was.  Renee groaned and sat back.  It was too late to talk her
into being coy now.
     "Too late?"
     Renee nodded.
     "It's all right."  Alex rested his hand gently on her knee.
"Nothing can happen here."
     "I know."  Just as gently, but much more firmly, Renee moved
his hand off her knee.
     "All right!" he chuckled.
     Renee giggled and patted his hand.
     Suddenly the lights went off and they sat in pitch blackness.
There was the sound of bare feet padding by them.  Then the other
sounds she couldn't identify in the center of the room.
     It was eerie.  Scary.
     Instinctively, Renee moved against Alex.  Just as
instinctively, his arm went around her and she didn't squirm away.
     She sat rigid, staring into the darkness, then the music
started.  A slow, throbbing beat that matched the tempo of Alex's
heart against her body.
     Renee quivered, willing the lights to stay down.  Afraid to
want to see what they would reveal when they came on.
     Her body was threatening to betray her.
     Fear and excitement.  She couldn't separate them, one from
the other.  She knew she was one or the other.  One or the other
...



                            Chapter 3

     For a brief instant, the light blinded Renee, and then she
lost interest in Fran and her Latin Romeo.
     Standing in the center of the stage area was a swarthy
skinned Mexican wearing a sombrero and hip-high riding boots, and
nothing else.  Dangling between his legs was the longest penis
Renee had ever seen.  She couldn't help gasping as she realized it
almost reached the man's knee.
     When he was sure he had everyone's attention, the Mexican
raised his hands and said, "Amigas y amigos, we are about to begin
the show for your edification.  I wan' to tell you what it is the
ladies like."  His hand had crept down to his thigh and he was
slowly massaging his massive cock.
     Starting in the back of the room and spreading toward the
front, a low snicker welled from the audience.
     A pained expression showed on the Mexican's face and he
waggled his hands negatively.  "No, no, no.  It is not what you
are thinking.  No!  It is that the ladies they like the well-
dressed man.  Like me!"  With his free hand he indicated his
sombrero and boots.
     The audience laughed, Renee hardly noticed.  She wasn't able
to take her eyes off that huge prick and his slowly moving hand.
It was still limp.  But even while she watched, she could see the
blood surging into it, swelling the purplish head and giving his
long prick a slight bow.
     "No!" the Mexican continued.  "I am just joking you.  No.  It
is really the music the ladies like.  Look, I show you.  I play my
flute and like a snake they come."
     Through his half-closed tipsy the Mexican hummed a strange,
nerve-tingling tune.  His hands began to strain and tear at his
dangling cock.  Slowly, it filled, swelled, rose up. The foreskin
pulled back from the enlarged glans, exposing it to the hot
lights.  It was a dark, shiny purple.
     The humming became more and more intense and the audience
leaned forward.  Renee felt a tightening between her thighs.  An
aching hunger.  She didn't want to feel it.  But she couldn't stop
herself.  She couldn't take her eyes off those moving hands.
     She almost sobbed out loud.  She didn't want to look.  It was
the same as it had been earlier when she watched the movies.  Her
hips started sliding back and forth on the couch.
     The humming stopped.  Looking around the room, seeming to
look directly into Renee's eyes, the Mexican said, "Aha!  You
thought something was going to happen, didn't you?"
     A sailor gave a wolf whistle.
     The Mexican wagged his finger at him.  "No sweetie.  Later!"
He frowned and began rubbing his prick again.  "This time, I play
a different tune."  Only he began humming the same tune as before.
     Within seconds three women were on the stage, rubbing against
him.  They were completely naked and they straddled his thighs,
rubbing their vaginas against his leg, pressing their hard nipples
against his arms and his chest.
     He let go of his cock, now fully erect, and began to stroke a
different woman with each hand.  On his right was a tall, bleached
blonde.  He grabbed her tit in his fist and crushed it.  She
squealed and jerked against him.  And then she was moaning and
crying as he rhythmically milked the soft globe.
     His other hand stroked the slender back and buttocks of a
shorter, younger girl.  He jiggled the firm cheeks of her butt.
His fingers probed at the juncture of her thighs.
     He whispered something and she put her hands on his shoulder,
leaning against him and spreading her legs wide.
     While Renee watched, shocked, the Mexican's fingers burrowed
into the heavy hair of the girl's crotch and forced the pink lips
apart.  Then his thick fingers were slowly working their way into
her, disappearing from sight.
     The girl groaned and gasped.  She twitched her hips, but the
fingers kept moving inwards.  Even when she cried out, they didn't
stop.
     Renee wanted to stop watching.  Weren't they ever going to
stop?  Would they go on until the whole hand followed?  Her own
vagina was on fire and wet with her own juices.
     The third woman had been standing a little apart from the
trio.  Now she moved forward.  Slowly, she sank to her knees in
front of the man and grasped his pulsing rod in her fist.  Licking
the head, she worked her way back to his hairy balls where she
clung for long minutes sucking them until they gleamed.  She
transferred her lips to the bulging head of his cock.  At the same
time, her fingers began to beat up and down his rigid penis.
     Groaning, the Mexican began to flail his own hips back and
forth, driving his cock into her sucking mouth.  His own hands dug
into one girl's cunt while the other strained against his
squeezing hand that was leaving red marks on her breast.
     His eyes crossed as he stared glazedly across the room, and
then the girl was sucking noisily on his penis and Renee saw
dribbles of white cream spurting from between her lips as she
tried to swallow faster.
     Letting go of the other two, he grabbed her head and shoved
her away so she fell over backwards and lay sprawled on the cold
floor, her legs spread and her knees up in the air.
     Looking down at her, he rested the pointed tip of his boot
against her exposed crack and began to dig in it, working it
around against her vagina.
     Renee gasped.  She couldn't believe what she was seeing.  The
girl just lay on her back while it was happening.
     Watching was doing something to Renee.  Something she wanted
to stop.  A warm glow was spreading through her body from her own
slit.  And she wanted it to stop.  It was dirty.  It shouldn't
affect her that way.  But it did and she practically held her
breath as she watched.
     The girl groaned and spread her legs wider, beckoning the man
to dig deeper into her.  The pale white of the insides of her
thighs stood out in sharp contrast to the blackness of her
assailant's boot.
     The pointed tip of the boot was actually going in.  Renee
could see the point disappearing between the blood-filled lips of
the girl's crack, spreading them painfully.
     Throughout the room there was a deathly stillness as every
ear strained to hear the girl's moans which had grown louder and
louder.  She was humping her hips now.  Throwing them clear off
the ground against the grinding boot toe.
     Then the toe wasn't grinding.  It was swinging an inch to ram
the delicate swat.  Then two inches.  The girl groaned, cried out.
She drove her hips to meet the lashing foot.
     She was screaming as the Mexican took his foot back and
slammed it again and again into her open crotch.
     Saliva ran from the girl's mouth.  She was crying and wailing
endlessly and heaving her ass off the ground to drive it against
the battering foot.  Each time she quivered and writhed as it
connected.  Then she was twisting and screaming and writhing with
her legs wrapped around the Mexican's legs as her hips and butt
pounded a last, desperate tempo on the floor.
     When her orgasm passed, she sprawled back on the floor
moaning softly and holding her crotch with her hands while she
took deep, shuddering breaths.
     Renee looked toward Fran.  She wanted to say, let's get out
of here.  Let's go back to Eureka.  But Fran sat hunched forward,
her eyes glazed, staring at the spectacle in the center of the
room.
     The Mexican had caught his breath and he snapped his fingers,
bringing his audience out of its unconscious trance.
"Intermission," he said.
     Moving through the thick tangle of chairs were the whores
that regularly worked in the place.  They were without a stitch of
clothes and were serving drinks and collecting money and goosing
in about equal quantities.
     One of the women edged past Renee carrying a tray loaded with
glasses and bottles of beer.  Renee couldn't help seeing that the
whore's pendulous breasts rested on the glasses, that her swaying,
bouncing nipples actually dipped into the chilled drinks.
     Suddenly her own breasts felt chilled.  Her tits hurt from
being squeezed by her bra.  The nipples were raw.  Every breath
was an agony as it moved the material against her.
     Alex turned toward her.  His arm accidentally brushed against
her tit and she had to grit her teeth to keep from screaming out
loud.
     "Do you want a drink?"
     "No!"
     "Are you sure?  You look like you need one."  Alex's voice
was concerned, solicitous.  Renee felt foolish.  She felt like
crawling into his arms and sobbing like a baby.  But she couldn't
do it.  What for?  Nobody had even touched her.  If she had any
problems, they were all in her imagination.
     "You're sure?" Alex sounded more concerned.
     "Yes ... no."  Renee shook her head.  "I don't know.  Yes.
Get me a beer, will you."
     "Of course."  Alex waved to a waitress.  "Dos cervezas," he
said.
     "In the bottle, please, Alex."  Renee shuddered at the
thought of the waitress bringing her a glass with her nipple
dangling in it.
     Alex nodded, added a phrase and turned back to Renee. "It
would be better if you went home, you know.  This is no place for
you."
     "I know.  But ..."  Renee looked across Alex at Fran.  Her
Mexican Casanova was gone for the moment.  But her schoolteacher
friend's ecstasy was reflected in her face as she watched the men
probing at the whores' inviting crotches and breasts.  "I can't
leave Fran here.  You understand, don't you, Alex?"
     "Yes!"  He nodded.  "I still think you should get out of
here."
     "Don't be silly."  Renee tried to laugh and at least didn't
gag.  "I'd never feel right about leaving you to suffer through
all this by yourself.  Particularly after I dragged you out of
that nice, cozy bar."
     "All right."  He touched her knee gently and Renee didn't
mind.  It wasn't sexual.  It was just comforting.  "I'll look out
for you until you're ready to go."



                            Chapter 4

     Fran's friend was back and sitting on the end of the couch
when the beers showed up.  They were a brand Renee had never seen
before---Double X---and in the long slender bottles the Mexicans
seemed to favor.  Alex paid for them and handed her one.
     Renee realized that she hadn't gotten one for Fran.  Looking
over, she saw she already had a beer in her hand and was getting
cozy with her friend.  His hand was resting on the firm skin of
Fran's thigh partly under her skirt.
     Hastily, Renee looked away.  There would be enough
recriminations for this night without seeing something she didn't
have to see.
     She sipped on the white froth.  Unconsciously, she compared
the foam to the white juice that had escaped from the prostitute's
mouth to dribble down her chin.  The bitterness of the beer and
the shock of the thought almost choked her.  Hastily Renee gulped,
clearing her mouth and throat of the fluid.
     In the center of the room, the Mexican had taken his position
again and held his hands up for quiet.  "The show, she will begin
again," he leered.
     The bleached blonde and the smaller girl walked out again.
Renee thought of her own twitching slit and sympathized with the
missing girl.  She probably wouldn't be in any shape to do
anything for quite a while.
     Then she was being drawn back into the role of spectator,
despite her efforts to lift herself from the show, to become
dispassionate about it.
     It seemed that the Mexican was almost subdued as the second
pert of the show started.  His hands were gentle as they played
with the two women who, after a while, pushed and shoved each
other to receive his attention.  Finally, the blonde shoved
against him, throwing her arms around his neck, grinding her hips
against his.
     His hands slid down her rear.  Renee watched breathlessly as
he forced her with his hands to open her legs
     The prostitute's rear was pointing directly at Renee and she
could see everything.  Enough to make her blush.
     Dipping between the blonde's legs, the Mexican's hands were
gently spreading her own juices over her.  Despite the white
shimmer of the girl's hair on top of her head, her pubic hair was
midnight black.
     His fingers in her cunt were exciting the girl.  She started
swaying her hips, trying to dig his hands into her but he ignored
her urgency, continuing to lubricate her with almost soft strokes
of his hands.
     It wasn't enough.  Throwing her legs up and around his hips,
the girl squeezed against him.
     For a moment, the Mexican played with the cheeks of her butt,
squeezing them and twisting, making her mew with pain and
pleasure.  And then he hiked her up his body and his huge, long
rod was exposed, pointing at her unprotected bottom.
     With his hands he pulled her cunt wide open until Renee saw
the tender pink walls inside the girl's lips and then he was
lowering her on his spike.
     She screamed when it first plunged into her.  Seconds later
she was wriggling and bucking, trying to slide down the pole
faster.
     Renee's hand unconsciously went between her own legs.  She
could almost feel that huge prick forcing itself inside her,
rubbing and tearing at her passage.  It was so dark brown, jabbing
into the girl's white meat.
     Working his hips, the Mexican was sawing it in and out as he
lowered the blonde on the pulsing cock.  Renee quivered.  It
looked so warm, so alive as it shoved into the girl.  She didn't
want to, but she wished it was going into herself.  She felt so
funny.  The room was hot and stuffy.  And the action of the girl's
cunt devouring the huge prick hypnotized her.
     The girl shrieked each time the man dropped her lower on it,
until, finally, her black hairs mingled with his.  Until his hair
prickled the tender skin of her crotch.
     He spread his legs and leaned back, balancing her on the
roll, holding her as her body began beating against his.
     The whole audience leaned forward to watch the brown length
of his cock sliding in and out of her, dripping wet.
     She pounded against him and he heaved, bucking her in a
twisting side motion that made her sway from side to side, driving
his rod maddeningly against the sides of her passage.
     She was trembling and her squeals subsided.  Her breath was
pounding in and out of her lungs and Renee could taste the greed
she was feeling for that long cock twisting wildly around inside
her.
     And then the Mexican thrust deep inside her and the girl
seemed on the verge of fainting.  His ass puckered rhythmically as
he pumped her full of hot sperm.
     She was crying, "Fuck me, fuck me!"
     The white semen seeped out from around his huge cock and ran
down into his black hair and down the underside of her legs.
     Slowly she put her feet on the ground and flinched as he
pulled the long, half-hard meat out of her.
     Everything seemed to be going away.  It was, to Renee, as if
the room was receding.  Going out.
     There was another flurry of movement.  She felt tired, free
of the scurrying around her.  Free of feeling.
     She saw, or thought she saw since she wasn't sure which, the
prostitutes lying on the stage, their legs spread, the men from
the audience descending on them like hungry animals.  It was more
than she could stand.
     For one long moment she thought Fran was up there.  On her
hands and knees between a pair of outstretched white legs, her
{ace dipped in the black patch of hair.  But it couldn't be.  Not
Fran.  It wasn't for Fran that the crowd was shouting and cheering
as the Mexican worked her tight skirt up around her hips.
     "Alex," Renee mumbled.
     Alex didn't answer.  He was slumped forward in his chair, his
snores deep, sonorous.  She shook him shifting his weight so he
slid off the chair onto the floor.
     "Dumb drunk," Renee cried.
     Fran, was it Fran?  The Mexican was behind her holding her
thighs apart.  His spear was poised for the thrust at her tender
rear.
     The huge brown spear!
     He was on his knees behind Fran, his eyes were gleaming.  He
didn't seem to realize he was there.
     Renee tried to scream, to warn her friend.  But the words
caught in her throat.  Then the Mexican was driving between her
legs, his prick sliding, sliding between her sweet pink lips.
Something was tearing in the room.  Renee heard it, distinctly.
And then she was sliding, like that long cock, into blackness.



                            Chapter 5

     Dimly Alex remembered a man, a Mexican Don Juan type, and
some money, and a woman.  They argued.  The man gave the woman a
slap.  "Lo hace, Gloria!" he commanded.
     There had been white sheets.  A soft bed.  Alex groaned.
     There were white sheets now, but the bed wasn't soft.  It was
one of half a dozen steel-hard cots in the police hospital.
     Through his sleep-strained eyes Alex idly watched the doctor
ministering to his patients.  Clucking to himself.
     What had happened to that girl?  Renee!  Alex winced.  He
must have seemed the perfect pig.  Leaving her for that whore.  Or
did she leave him?  It was so unclear and he remembered only
fragments.
     Some protector.  He laughed bitterly.
     The doctor noticed he was awake and came over.  "You feel
well, senor?"
     "A little bit."
     "You are very lucky."  The medico wiped his hands against his
white gown and took a pad out of his pocket.  "It would have taken
only a little more, and you would have been dead."
     Alex sat up.  Suddenly alert.  "A little more what?"
     "Why," the doctor looked at him in amazement, "narcotics,
senor!"
     "Narcotics?"
     "Si.  This time you were lucky.  Very lucky.  When will you
Norte Americanos find out that la droga is no game?"
     "I didn't take any narcotics!"
     "Si, sector."  The doctor spread his hands.  His tone was
soothing, but his eyes were unbelieving.  "It is as you say,
senor."
     "You've got to believe me.  I was drinking.  That's all.
Drinking!"
     "Of course, senor.  It was the drink which almost killed
you."  The doctor nodded knowingly and laid a finger alongside his
nose.
     "My money?"
     "Nothing.  I am very sorry.  When la policia found you, you
were plucked very clean."
     Suddenly, Alex was very frightened.  Not for himself.  For
that girl, the soft, young girl he had been with.
     His fingers clenched into fists, the knuckles showing white
against the sheets.  "I've got to get out of here," he said.
"Where are my clothes?"
     "I do not advise it, senor.  In fact," the doctor smiled, "I
do not think you can do it yet.  But we cannot keep you here."
     Alex strained against the bed.  Sweat beaded his body as he
grunted and strained to get to the floor.  The doctor watched,
open-mouthed, as he swayed and stumbled across the clinic's floor.
     The windows reeled in a wheel of bright sunlight in front of
him.  His mouth was dry as velvet.  And then he was sinking down,
thinking about that girl.  Renee.
     "Ayuda, ayuda."  Running up to him, the doctor and an aide
caught Alex and half carried, half dragged him back to his bed.
     "Impossible!" the doctor kept mumbling to himself.
"Impossible!"



                            Chapter 6

     Renee woke with a feeling of panic gripping her.  She wanted
to throw up.  Sunlight streamed through dirty windows into the
little room, splotching the gray army blankets with a patchwork of
shadows and sunspots.
     She had no idea where she was.  In her memory there was only
a confused roiling of sound, sights, odors, color-all running
together like buckets of paint poured on the street.
     She whimpered as she rolled over, to stop suddenly.  Fran was
sprawled on her back on the next cot.  Her blond hair was a limp,
twisted snake lying flaccid on her white body.
     Renee automaticlly jerked her hand to her mouth to stifle her
scream.  The was so ... so still.  And naked.  She was wearing
nothing.  Not even her stockings.
     "Fran?"  Uncertainly, Renee put out a hand to touch her
friend, expecting, dreading the feel of cold flesh.
     She breathed out in relief to discover Fran's body was warm.
That the blood pounded strongly under the surface of her smooth,
white skin.
     Sitting up, Renee took stock of her situation.  It was
reassuring to realize she was fully dressed.  She slipped her hand
under the waistband of her skirt and heaved another sigh of
relief.  She still had her panties.
     The room was tiny and Renee was certain she had never seen it
before.  Aside from the two beds, it had a washbasin and nothing
else.  It was stripped as bare as Fran's butt.  Renee started to
giggle at the thought, and then stopped, shocked.
     What was funny about that?  She wondered.  She felt curiously
lightheaded.  When she stood the room swayed around her, her
stomach protested, and then she sat down again ... hard.
     At least the jolt stopped the swaying.  Closing her eyes
tight, she tried to count to ten.  Instead her mind filled with
questions.
     Where was Alex?  He was a stranger.  But with her eyes closed
a half-blurred picture of his face pulsed in front of her.  She
had a warm memory of strength and reassurance.  Dimly, she
remembered him sprawled on the couch and sliding down, down into
the darkness where she couldn't see.
     That was foolish, thinking of Alex.  Angry, she shook herself
and opened her eyes.
     The door was open and the Mexican with the fancy clothes,
Fran's Casanova, was standing inside looking at her.
     "Ah!  You have woken up, Chica!"
     His voice was soft but barbed with a hint of cruelty.  Renee
shivered, suddenly very much afraid.  No longer was she able to
keep that fear pushed out of sight.  "Where are we?"  Her voice
quavered uncontrollably and broke.
     "With me, of course."
     "I want to get out of here!"
     "Si, senorita.  Nobody is keeping you.  After last night,"
the Mexican chucked with his tongue and rolled his eyes, "I had to
do something.  I could not leave your friend out like that, no?"
He gestured toward Fran and smiled.
     Renee smiled back.  She couldn't help herself.  There was
something so attractive about this man ...  Now she knew why Fran
had fallen all over him so fast and she didn't blame her a bit.
He radiated such a feeling of confidence just by being in the same
room that it seemed already as if everything was all right.
     "Could you find her something to wear?" she asked, almost
shyly.
     "Of course.  Porque no?"  He stepped closer to her, and Renee
could smell a fresh masculine scent from his body.  "If you are
still tired, why don't you go back to sleep, little one?  When you
wake up I will have everything you need."
     "No.  We should leave now."
     "Of course. If you insist."  He put his hand on her shoulder.
She could feel the heat of his palm caressing her as he gently
pushed her back on the bed.  She tried to resist, but it was so
much easier staring up into his soft, brown eyes.
     He leaned and kissed her mouth.  His hot lips seared into
her.  His mouth felt on fire.  She tried to swallow the heat in
her own mouth and she moaned.
     His hand was on her breast.  It was burning her alive.  She
squirmed against him, and then he was easing her sweater up over
her body and she was arching and mewing, helping him to get it
off.  Her bra followed.
     The cold air striking her tits felt good.  It was wonderful
on her bare flesh and when she rubbed against him it was like
scratching an itch that she hadn't been able to get to before.
The ruffled front of his silk shirt felt wonderful.  She pulled
him down on her and arched against it, letting her tits slide
against the cool, bunched material.  A button pressed into her
nipple hard and round and cold.  It sent a shiver through her body
as she imagined it to be his teeth instead.
     His hands had traveled down to her waist.  They were undoing
the zipper at her back.  Then she was wiggling out of the skirt,
kicking it into a heap on the floor.
     Renee cried out softly as his fingers slid down her lower
belly, stripping the taut, nylon panties from her belly, drawing
them down over her legs where they pulled her thighs together,
past her knees and finally, soundlessly over her ankles.
     He ran his hand back up her leg, along the inside, up her
thigh to where her body stopped his fingers.
     It was agonizing, waiting.  He didn't move.  He touched her
so gently she couldn't feel him and she wanted to feel him.
     Tightening her arms around his neck, Renee pulled him against
her.  "Please," she moaned.  "Please!"
     She felt something tickling.  It was so faint she almost
wasn't sure.  And then it was running coolly over the lips of her
vagina, around and around, tantalizing but not entering.  Renee's
breath was hot in her throat and nostrils.  She was breathing like
a bitch in heat and she didn't care or at least, part of her
didn't care and the other part couldn't control her.
     Her hips were jerking and she was crying.
     Around the moving fingers she could feel the moisture from
her slit spreading out on her thighs, wetting everything, herself,
the bed, his hand.
     "Don't, she sobbed, "don't!"
     But she didn't try to stop him when his fingers found her
little stem and began to stroke it.  The friction made her want to
cry out in ecstasy and she spread her legs wider.
     And then he was undressing.  He knelt next to her head and
his penis dangled down his leg.  It wasn't long, but it was fat
and purplish. It almost touched her cheek.
     Hesitantly she stuck her tongue out and licked its tip,
touching the hole in the head.  Instantly, it stiffened and arched
out a little.
     She lapped at it and then he was pushing it into her mouth.
I don't want this, she thought to herself in dismay.  But her body 
called her a liar.  Her mouth sucked greedily at his mushrooming
prick.  She felt it swelling and growing in her mouth and still it
wasn't enough.  She wanted it to get bigger and bigger.  To fill
her mouth.  To fill her whole body.
     She sucked noisily on the round rod.  Her red lips ran over
it like fingers stripping a cow's teat.  Traces of lipstick began
to streak his cock and he was pushing it in and out of her mouth,
holding her hair.
     And then the hot milk flooded her mouth, ran into her throat
and she could feel it warming her all the way to her belly.
     Renee wanted to lay there and savor the lassitude she felt.
But Casanova had moved between her legs and caught them with his
arms under her knees pulling them up.
     Something hard poked her crack, off center.  Jabbed again.
Renee groaned.  Automatically, her hips were swaying, trying to
help.
     The rod hit her again and then was shoving deep inside her in
one complete motion that seemed as if it would never stop.
     Her knees were crammed alongside her body squeezing into her
as the Mexican bent her double and drove into her crotch with all
his weight.  She cried as he slammed into her, as she lifted her
butt and slammed back at him.
     She cried as she pressed herself tight to him faster and
faster and faster until he stopped her and leaned heavily on her.
She felt his cock swelling inside her, his lips were on her
breasts, his teeth were digging into her nipple.
     And then she was being filled from the inside with burning
hot foam that cooked her whole body.
     Casanova got off her and she sighed, stretching her arms to
him.  He slid away from them, gently catching her wrist and
holding it over her head. Renee sighed contentedly.  As long as he
held even her wrist she felt full, well.
     He moved down the bed. To her feet.  His hand was warm on the
flesh of her calf.  She stretched, luxuriously.
     Suddenly she was wide awake, the fear button flooding her
body again.  Her wrist was still being held.  But Casanova was at
the foot of the bed.
     Opening her eyes and twisting her head she stared up and
screamed.
     A leather strap held her left wrist to the head of the bed!
     Casanova stood up and Renee heaved her body like a hooked
fish on the end of a line.  Another leather strap clasped her
right ankle.  She was stretched helpless between the two of them.
     "What are you doing?" she cried.  "What have you done?"
     "Nothing, senorita," the Mexican said gently.  "Nothing,
anyway, as yet."



                            Chapter 7

     Not even casting a glance at her to make sure she was
securely fastened, Casanova stretched Fran out the same way.
     Renee felt even more frightened as she realized that the
straps were already attached to the bed, just shoved under the
thin mattress.  All he had to do was pull them out and fasten them
around her wrists.  As if he did this sort of thing all the time.
     "What is it you're doing to us?" Renee asked shakily, scared,
sick, ashamed of what she'd just done with this man who had
assumed the proportions of a beast.
     The man turned back to her.  He was still naked.  Without his
fancy shirt and expensive black charro jacket he had lost some of
his attractiveness.  His ribs stuck through and he was pigeon-
chested.  His face had taken on a foxy, mean cast.
     "Do?  Me?  I will do nothing.  It is you who will do
everything.  Everything I say."
     "You can't get away with it.  Our families know we're down
here.  They'll send the police looking for us," Renee lied
desperately.
     "Tch, tch, senorita!  Your friend, she told me everything.
That you two are here alone.  And you told no one you would come
to a filthy place like Tijuana."
     He nodded wisely and smiled.  "Si, maybe when you don't go to
school in two weeks, maybe they look for you.  Maybe in Los
Angeles, no?  That is where your friend say you are supposed to
be.  In Los Angeles with her relatives.  Los Angeles, she is a big
town, not"
     Renee's heart sank.  Hopelessly she nodded her head.
     "You see!  Besides," he was pulling on his clothes and
talking, "in two weeks you won't be here no more.  You be
somewhere else."
     Panic clamped down on Renee.  Her chest was being squeezed in
a giant vise that tightened and tightened until she could scream.
"What do you mean?" she whispered.
     The Mexican grinned wickedly.  He took a hypodermic from his
jacket and sat down beside Renee.  Slowly he squeezed the plunger.
A needle jet of clear fluid shot into the air.
     Pushing her buttocks with his hand he half turned Renee.
     "What are you doing?" she asked, really scared now.  She felt
the sharp bite of the needle in her rear, saw the syringe come
away empty.
     "What have you done?" she screamed at him.  "What have you
done?"
     "I am, what you say, trainer?  No?  Yes, that is what I am."
     The Mexican seemed to be fading away in the distance as he
talked, twirling further and further away.  The lights were so
bright.  So much color.  And his voice echoed so in the corridor.
     "I train putas, little one, and then I sell them."  He smiled
and held the needle toward her and she shrank away from it because
it was huge, at least as big as his head.
     "Do not be afraid, Chica.  He is your friend."  The Mexicans
voice faded in and out and Renee had to strain to hear what he was
saying.  He and I, we will tame you.  Then I will train you
myself.  Do not be afraid.  We will not hurt you ... you ... me
... worth ... mucho ... dinero ... to ..." and the words faded
into nothing.
     The Mexican saw Renee was no longer listening. Turning, he
refilled the needle and plunged it into Fran's buttock.
     He emptied it, then gently patted the smooth flank before
standing and going to the door.
     Renee struggled to swim out of the depths.  She was plunging
down.  It was all she could do to bring herself up, to poise on
the edge of surfacing.
     All her will went into the effort.  She knew she was
sweating.  She knew her body was knotted with the effort that was
a leaden deadness inside of her.  But she couldn't stop
struggling.  For a moment she conquered her weakness.  "What kind
of man are you?" she gasped.  "Who are you?"
     He paused at the door and looked back, his face and body
grotesquely out of perspective.  "Me?  I am Manuel.  If you need
me, you call for me.  My friend?" he patted his pocket.  "He is
Mr. Heroin.  You will call for him, too, I think."
     Manuel winked and in slow floated out of the room while Renee
sank into a nightmare of light and color

                           *    *    *

     Renee didn't know how much later it was when she finally came
back to reality.  The light was grayer, dimmer.  It felt like
weeks had passed.  Her mouth tasted of cotton and ether.
     "Headache?"
     She gasped and looked up.  Fran was twisted over staring at
her, her eyes huge over sharp cheekbones like the face of a
starving child.
     "I've been waiting for you to wake up."
     "How long?"
     Fran grimaced.  "Who can tell in this hole? I'm not sure I
even know what time is anymore."
     "So you know about everybody!"
     Fran nodded and her face crumpled.  "I can really pick them,
can't I!"  She twisted her face uncontrollably.  As much from pain
at her weakness as the horror of their situation.  Renee was close
to hysteria herself, she didn't need a diagram to tell her what
Fran was going through.
     "Snap out of it, Fran!"  The way she hissed the words, they
were a slap to the older woman's face.  A jolt from the real
world.
     Fran stifled her sobs.
     "We've got to get out of here, Fran.  Do you hear me, Fran?
We've got to get out of here!"
     Wordlessly, Fran nodded her head.
     "You've got to help."
     "I'll do what I can, but I'm terrified, Renee.  Honey, I'm
really scared clear through.  I don't think ... I can't help much.
I'm too afraid."
     "It's all right, Fran," Renee soothed.  "Relax and you'll
feel better after a while.  After a while everything will be
better."
     "Will it, Renee?  Really?"
     Renee nodded and felt sick again.  She knew she was lying to
both of them.  It would never get any better now.  But could she
say it?



                            Chapter 8

     It was morning before Manuel came again.  Renee had lain wire
tense all night, waiting.  She couldn't sleep---or turn off her
thinking.  Fran was awake, too.  But it had helped neither woman
to do any talking during the long night.
     Manuel entered as silently as he had previously to stand,
staring down at them.  Renee squirmed.  She was overly conscious
of her nakedness.
     He unfastened her hand and foot.  "Come!"  Silently, he led
her out the door into a dingy corridor that was, if possible, even
more grimy than the room they occupied.
     All the while Renee looked for an escape route.  She summoned
all her will, as she had done fighting the heroin, watching for a
chance to escape.  But the corridor was a dull, featureless gray
without windows or open doorways.  At the end, Manual pushed open
a door and waved her in the cubicle beyond.
     It was a bathroom.
     The feeling that filled Renee was almost that of pleasure.
Until that moment, she hadn't realized how desperately she was
holding herself in.  The sight of the toilet was blessed relief
and she hurried to squat on it.
     Manual came and stood in front of her.  She gasped.  Renee
hadn't even considered the possibility that he would follow her
into this tiny room.  She thought he was still outside waiting for
her.
     He moved so close she was forced to spread her knees open
around his legs.  But she couldn't stop her bladder from relieving
itself and at the same time she felt the thick jet of pee steaming
from her body.  The relief was overwhelming.
     "You like, huh?"
     Renee looked up and shrank from Manuel's gaze.  He was
fumbling with his pants and finally he got his cock out, holding
it fat and limp in his hand only inches from her face.
     The girl licked her dark, red lips.  She didn't want to be
tempted.  But the sight of that fat slug only a tongue's length
away started the alarm bells of her passion ringing.
     He held it out to her.
     Desperately she clamped her mouth shut, closed her eyes, and
shook her head no.
     "It's all right," Manuel said soothingly.  "You no want, I
not angry."
     Renee opened her eyes wonderingly.  Manuel was smiling as he
aimed his hose and the thick, yellow stream of hot urine shot out
to strike her breasts.
     The hot spray stung acidly on her skin and Renee tried to get
up, to get away.  Her own bladder was still dumping its load and
she heard it as a distant tinkle in the toilet bowl.
     Manuel held her shoulder with his free hand, his fingers
biting into her flesh until the pain immobilized her.  Slowly he
tilted his cock down, playing the hard stream of liquid over her
belly.  Then down until it was splattering against the pelt
between her legs.
     Renee tried to close her legs, to keep his filthy piss from
contaminating her.  But his spraddled legs kept her wide open.
     Suddenly the stream was hitting her own slit with a burning
force that made her lose all control.
     It splattered off target against the inside of her thighs,
for a moment, and then it was tingling against the grasping lips
of her vagina, the stream striking her sensitive tissue and
mingling with her own waste.
     Renee almost fainted, the feeling was so intense that her own
spray had been reversed and was battering its way back into her
body.  The heavy smell of urine was overpowering.  Her head swam
and she felt as if she were stepping out over the edge of a cliff.
     It seemed to go on and on.  Even long after she was drained,
Manuel continued to spray her.
     Finally he stopped.  He still held his throbbing organ in his
hand.  "Take it," he said.
     Renee shook her head in a desperate no.  Desperate because,
after what had happened, she wanted to take it, to suckle it.
Incredibly he had wakened her desire with his hot urine and
Renee's body was one vast, hungry ache.
     Manuel pressed the soft tip against her lips.  "Take it," he
said softly, "or I will piss in your mouth.  Entiende?"
     Sick, Renee nodded.  Gingerly, she took his prick.
     The instant it was in her mouth, it started to swell, to
grow.  And Renee couldn't help herself.  This penis that had just
defiled her suddenly was sweeter to her lips than candy.  She
sucked on it greedily and only wondered for a second at the bitter
taste of urine.
     Automatically, she caught his legs with her arms, holding
Manuel to her as she sucked him.  His cock was growing harder.  It
no longer dangled loosely in her mouth.
     Renee was breathing in gasps as she slurped at his rod.  His
hand had started to manipulate his cock, whipping the foreskin
back and forth, helping to slide the slippery meat between her
lips.
     Her teeth caught gently behind his crest, and then she was
pulling and jerking and teasing it, her tongue lashing frantically
over the head.
     The first spurts of hot, creamy liquid landed on her tongue.
And then Manuel caught her head in his hands and plunged his prick
all the way into her mouth, driving it back until it filled the
walls of her throat.  And he was pumping her full of his liquid.
     As she gulped and swallowed, Renee tried to hate it, and
couldn't.  Her parched body begged for the liquid and she knew
that if he tried to move away now she would hold him tight until
she milked him dry.
     She slipped from the toilet to the cold tile floor and spread
her legs, waiting as he came down on top of her, his rod probing
through the soaked hair to jab against her vagina.  Renee wanted
to squeal as it shoved the lips apart, the blood swollen, tender
lips that throbbed from his piss.
     Manuel's hips heaved against her and drove searchingly to her
depths, shoving and tearing into her like an animal.
     Renee heaved back, grinding their black pubic hair together
until his and which was the two of them joined.
     Under her butt, the floor was icy tile searing into her.  She
moaned and smashed her hips against his, winding her legs around
his body and locking her ankles to hold him tight.
     She hated him.  But the smooth head of his prick was bigger
and bigger, sliding inside her at an increasing tempo until her
whole body throbbed to the rhythm, until there wasn't anything
left in the universe but that pounding, exploding cock shooting
hot sperm against her tender passage and filling her womb.
     Renee did cry out.  Then she flopped back, exhausted.  Her
legs, still tightly locked, slid over his hips and he stood up---a
disgusted look coming over his face.
     "Pig," he said, slapping her face.  "Slut.  Puta.  Look!
Look what you have done!"
     He held out the front of his shirt, stained with his urine,
his pants, blotched with urine and semen.
     "Clean yourself up, pig.  Andale!"
     Renee stood in the shower and shivered as the first needle
spray of icy water hit her body.  Her lust vanished in the first
touch of the water.  She tried to change the temperature, but it
didn't matter what she turned, the water continued coming out only
a few degrees above freezing.
     Hurriedly she wet herself down and hopped out of the shower.
There were no towels, so she was forced to walk back through the
empty corridor naked and shivering and dripping water at every
step.
     As Manuel strapped her back down on the bed, she used the
dirty blanket to dry herself.  She half-dreaded, half-welcomed the
needle he stuck in her arm, knowing that it would bring relief
from consciousness---at least, for a little while.
     She watched drowsily as Manuel took the frightened Fran out
of the room.  The last thing she remembered was Fran's frantic
blue eyes staring at her, begging for reassurance.  But, Renee
smiled bitterly, she had none to give.



                            Chapter 9

     Alex made a beeline for the police station where the officer
yawned as he filled in the complaint form.  He was fat, with a
roll of lard hanging over his belt and his jowls were covered with
a day's growth of beard.
     "You know, senor," he said, scratching his crotch.  "You
Americanos come down here and go to places like that one, what can
you expect?"  He shrugged and looked questioningly at Alex.
     "It is not my money!" Alex said desperately.  "There are the
two women."
     The Mexican cop picked his nose, then wiped his hand down the
seam of his gray slacks.  "Madre de dios!"  The detective threw up
his hands.  "How can you take two mujeres, school teachers, to a
place like that?"
     "I didn't take them, they took me!"
     The detective gave Alex a quizzical eye, but said nothing.
There had been a recent shakeup in Tijuana and the new mayor was
busy saying he would clean up the police force.  He had already
fired many of the old timers and detective Castella wasn't sure
whether or not he was on the mayor's list.  He shrugged.  Probably
everybody was on that list.  Still, it would do him no good to
have one crazy gringo in el jefe's office saying he, agente de
policia Castella, did not do his duty.
     "Probablemente," he said, "these women have already gone
home."
     "But ..." Alex stumbled over his words.  "But I was drugged.
With narcotics.  Your own doctor will tell you that.  And they
must have been drugged too."
     "Si, si!" Castella was getting impatient.  He was thinking of
a hot, little chica waiting for him.  One who needed some police
protection.  He grinned at the thought of the kind of protection
he was going to give her.  "What is it you have lost, senor?"
     Alex, despite his dismay, filled Castella in with a detailed
description of his wallet, lighter, ring and jeweled cuff links
and tie clasp that had disappeared.
     "Bolero!"  The detective stood up, opened the drawer of his
desk and took out a small, pearl handled automatic pistol.  He
stuck that in his coat pocket and then led Alex out of the dingy
green room into the musty hallway where he signaled to a younger,
cleaner cut detective.  Obviously a rookie from the eager way he
responded.

                           *    *    *

     They drove to the whorehouse in relative silence, each
immersed in his own thoughts.  Alex had the sinking feeling that
he was the only one in any way concerned with finding the two
women.  The fat detective was acting as if he had a date somewhere
else and kept looking at his watch.  The youngster would look too
and nod his head every time the older cop did.
     The doorman tried to slam the door in their faces, but it was
too late.  The fat cop looked slow, but he had his shoulder
through the door while the kid was still trying to decide where to
put his hands.
     Inside, they pushed their way to the main room where the
whores were already hard at work.  Hurriedly, the projectionist
snapped off the projector and covered it up with a sheet.
     The cop studiously pretended it wasn't there, as if he didn't
have to walk around it to talk to the man he wanted to see.
     They talked in high-speed Spanish for a few minutes while the
young cop furtively peeked under the sheet trying to get a good
look at what was on the film.
     Finally, the old cop stopped talking, sighed in disgust, and
said, "Which one?"
     Alex pointed to a tall brunette, pretty but starting to flesh
out.  "Her.  Gloria!"
     "Come!"  The cop tilted his head and the girl followed along
with one of the men.  They went to her room where the fat
detective rummaged in her dresser, turning up in a few minutes a
roll of bills, Alex's wallet, empty, and jewelry.
     As Alex made the identification, the fat cop said, "Bueno!"
and handed it to him in a distracted manner.
     He counted out the money Alex said he lost and pocketed the
rest of the bills.  He and the manager and the girl really started
talking.  For a few moments the conversation was really confused.
Even the young cop looked as if he only caught part of it, and it
was his language.
     "Look," the cop said.  "They say, okay.  Was all a big
mistake.  You get everything back.  All okay now, no?"
     Alex shook his head.
     The cop sighed.  "Look mister.  We put them in jail, they
gonna be out again pretty quick.  Then everybody, she is mad.
They mad at me.  Mad at you."  He shrugged, saying silently but
eloquently that he, Castella, would also be mad at this crazy
American.
     "They say, okay.  You stay here with the girl.  You guest of
the house.  She do everything you want, get everything you didn't
get last night.  All free.  Okay?"
     "Well ..."
     At this sign of hesitation the manager burst in with another
torrent of Spanish.
     Castella nodded.  "You don't like her, you take your pick of
the girls, no?"
     "How do I know they'll let me out okay?"
     Castella smiled.  He knew when he had a deal.  "Pedro," he
gestured toward the young cop, "he stay downstairs and wait for
you, okay?"
     "About the two women, Renee and Fran?"
     Castella shrugged.  "Hombre!  This man say they left with the
other man when you go upstairs with Gloria.  It is big insult,
no!"
     Castella exited, leaving Alex to figure out who he meant
insulted whom.
     When they were all gone, Alex turned toward the girl.  She
was already undressing.



                            Chapter 10

     "Now," Alex said, "I want to hear the truth."
     "Que?"  The girl paused.  She was sliding her bra down her
arms.  Her breasts were soft and round under it, the nipples large
brown caps with nubbins that stuck straight out.
     "What happened to the two women I was with?"
     She shrugged and dropped the black foundation garment on the
dresser.  Squirming her hips slightly, she began to run her
panties over her legs.
     "Stop that!"  Alex grabbed her arm and pulled her toward him.
"You know what I mean.  What happened to them, to me?"
     "Let go.  You hurt me."  Gloria tried to twist out of Alex's
grasp but he clamped his fingers tighter.
     "I'm not playing!"
     The girl finally pulled her arm free and hurried to the door.
"Go away," she said, turning the knob.  "I don't want you here no
more."
     Alex gave her a pained expression as he stepped to the door.
"I guess I'll have to tell that cop to arrest you after all."
     Gloria's eyes flicked wider at the thought of jail.  It
didn't require clairvoyance to see she wasn't liking the idea
worth a damn.
     Stepping past her, Alex caught the doorknob and started to go
out in the hall.
     She put her hand over his and said, "Wait!"
     "For what?"
     "Wait.  I tell you."  She walked back across the room and sat
down hard on the bed.  The springs protested, rocking her slightly
and making her breasts jiggle enticingly.  Taking cigarettes from
the table, she lit one and then flopped back on the bed, blowing
smoke at the ceiling.
     Alex followed her and sat down on the bed.  "What will you
tell me?"
     "What you desire to know."  Gloria breathed out and twin jets
of bluish smoke squirted out of her nose to join the already stale
air in the room.  "But you must not tell anyone it is me who says
this thing, Entiende?"
     "I understand."
     "It is that pig Manuel.  He tell me, keep you in my bed all
night.  When you wake up, tell you your friends themselves are
tired of waiting for you.  That they leave.  Maybe ... how you
say, enojado?"
     "Angry?"
     Si, that is it.  Angry.  That is the thing Manual tell me to
do.
     But you didn't?"
     The girl tried to shrug lying down. The movement rippled
through her breasts, quivering them like jello.  "No."
     "Why not?"
     She looked at Alex disdainfully.  "What good you to me?  You
sleep all time.  So I put you in street."
     "After taking my money and my wallet and jewelry."
     She shrugged again, with the same phenomenal results as
previously.
     "Who is this Manuel?"
     "Manuel Ramos.  He is, how you say, pimp.  He gets girls,
makes them work for him."  She shivered.  "He is very mean, hard
man."
     "How do I find him?"
     "Ask the taxista to take you to La Casa de Los Angeles---
house of the angels.  Maybe Manuel there."
     "Thanks."  Alex stood to go.
     Grabbing him, the girl tried to pull him down on the bed.
"Don't go yet.  Not enough time.  Maybe Manuel find out you here
and he come here to kill me, he think maybe I tell you something."
     "All right.  I'll wait a bit."
     The girl squirmed over on the bed to let him sit more
comfortable.  What you do when you find Manuel?"
     "What I can!"
     "Bad?"
     "Maybe."
     "Good."  The girl blew a smoke ring into the air.  "This
Manuel, he is no good!"
     "How do you know?"
     The girl rolled over on her stomach and pulled her panties
down over the soft globes of her buttocks.  Each cheek was dappled
with round, white spots that stood out against the darker olive of
her skin.
     "My God!  What caused that?"
     "Manuel," the girl said simply.  "He take cigarillo, you
know, and "ssst!"
     Wonderingly Alex reached down to touch the smooth, brown
flank and run his fingertips over the white spots.  The girl
shivered under the cool touch of his fingertips but Alex couldn't
feel any scar tissue.
     "They aren't new," he said.
     "No," Gloria agreed.  "This is from a long time ago, when
Manuel owned me.  He was very cruel."
     Alex continued to run his hand over the girl's marred butt,
thinking of Renee in the Mexican's hands.  "Owned?"
     "Si!  Manuel, he is a dealer in putas.  He buys them, sells
them.  Breaks them not to run away.  He is very clever."
     Alex stopped moving his hand and leaned over the girl.  "What
will he do with my friends?"
     "Don't stop.  That feels so good."  The girl lay with her
cheek on her hands and wiggled her butt.  "Quien sabe what he will
do?  Maybe he sell them in some other country."
     Leaning his weight onto his hands as his fingers dug deep
into her flesh, massaging her, Alex decided the girl was
exaggerating.  This was the twentieth century, after all.  And
there was no way in the world to keep a slave from running away
when freedom was just around the corner.
     Something wetted Alex's finger and the girl sighed.
Unconsciously his hand had slid between the girl's thighs and
manipulated the gently contracting cunt that lay open and waiting.
It was her juice that flowed onto him.
     The feel of her soft twat awakened the sex urge in Alex.
Awkwardly he continued massaging her ass, working his fingers in
her slot as he struggled out of his own clothes.  The girl just
lay flopped on her face, sighing blissfully as his hands did their
work.
     Gently he lay on top of her, his cock nestling in the crack
of her ass.  His hands crept under her to cup her tits, to squeeze
and stroke them until he felt the nipples projecting out like
nails.
     The girl was stifling moans, now.  She twisted her head and
began kissing the hand squeezing her breast in time to a slow,
silent rhythm.  She added her hips to the beat and Alex's cock
started sinking between the cheeks of her ass
     He thrilled to the feel of his cock poking against the tight
opening.  Gloria mewed and bucked.
     Slowly her butt was forced open.  Slowly his prick pushed the
circular walls wide and sank into her.
     She moaned and sucked on his knuckles, sometimes catching her
own tit in her mouth as she attacked his hands.  Her hips were
pounding in and out, driving the fleshy spike all the way into her
ass until it wouldn't go any further.
     "More," she cried.  "More!"
     Alex braced his knees on the bed and drove into her, pounding
her butt against his body as he lurched into her.  She cried out
and drove back.  Her hands reached back and dug into her ass
trying to pull it wider to help Alex drive in.  They were both
panting.  Alex was pulling his cock almost all the way out and
plunging back in with a resounding "slap!"  Her huge, soft breasts
filled his hands and he gripped them so tightly she moaned with
passion.
     He slammed into her, panting for breath.  The bed springs
creaked as he drove his shaft in to the hilt.
     "Uh!" she cried as he pounded into her.  "Uh, uh, uh,
aaaaah."
     The ring of flesh convulsed around his penis, grabbing it
like a fist jerking it in hot agony.  And then he was flooding her
depths with his cream and she moaned in ecstasy as the hot liquid
warmed and filled her.
     For a long time they were silent as she held him to her, his
prick plunged into her aching bottom.
     Softly she humped away from him, dragging his half-hard meat
out of her ass.  But her hands held him between her legs when he
tried to get up.
     "The other hole!" she said.  "Please.  The other hole now."
     "I've got to go!"
     Gloria rose up on her knees and felt between her legs for his
prick.  Tenderly she began to stroke its limp length with her
hands.  When it was hard and straight, she held it between her
thighs and heaved her hips back and forth in short, controlled
grins.  Her cunt split over it, soaking it in her juice.  Her hair
tickled against it.
     Alex wrapped his arms around her again.  Catching her
distended nipples in his fingers, he pinched down hard and clamped
his fingers into the flesh of her tits.  She mewed and swayed
faster until the liquid was soaking Alex's cock.
     He lay against her, pushing her down onto the bed. Gloria
writhed under his weight.  Frantically, she split her legs as far
as she could, her cunt begging him to attack.
     Alex couldn't resist any longer.  The soft, pink flesh was
too much temptation.  He rammed all the way in to Gloria's
insides, impaling her on one stroke.  She shrieked and then was
pounding and fighting him even harder than when his prick was in
her ass.
     With trembling fingers she took the cigarette off the table
and dragged on it even while he was jazzing her on the end of his
stick.  She handed it to him.
     "Use it," she sobbed.  "Use it on my butt!"
     Alex held the cigarette, horrified.  "No!"
     "Use it," she cried again.  "I need it.  No comprende?  You
must!"
     She slammed back against him driving his cock deeper into the
sloppy hole.  With her own hand she guided his to her ass, forcing
him to press the glowing red tip against her flesh.  There was a
long "sssst" and the pungent odor of burning flesh.  The girl
cried out and her twat enfolded Alex's cock like a glove,
increasing the friction a dozen times.
     "Again," she demanded.  "Again!"  She was using her hands to
drive her ass back to impale herself on his rod.
     Mechanically, he pushed the cigarette into the rounded
softness of her butt.  She screamed with joy, redoubling the
ferocity of her attack.  Once more and her cunt lips tightened in
a strangle hold on his cock, holding his burning semen in him
until he thought he would burst, then sucking the surging stream
of white with greedy intensity as it purged her passage.
     She lay there, shivering, as Alex dressed.  "Thank you," she
mumbled.
     Alex didn't say anything.  He was drained and shocked.  He
had enjoyed it.  It terrified him that the cruelty left him
filled, not with shame, but with relief and pleasure.  Almost as
if he looked forward to doing it again.
     Something, he vowed to himself, that would never happen
again.
     "He made me like this," the girl said.  "Manuel.  He did this
to me."
     Hesitantly, Alex touched one of the fresh burns on her ass.
She flinched, but didn't try to move away.  His fingers riffled
the hair between her legs and gently stroked the swollen lips of
her vagina.
     The girl shivered, stretched her legs rigid.  "Can't you stay
just a little longer?" she pleaded.  "Por favor!"
     "No," Alex said.  "No."  And he whirled and fled the room
before he gave in to his weakness and said yes.



                            Chapter 11

     Time had ceased to have meaning for Renee and Fran.  Only
Manuel's comings and goings marked changes in their routine that
they could recognize as time.
     Each time it was the same.  Before the shot, the Mexican
would fuck them brutally.
     Renee swallowed, feeling her saliva gulped down her throat
moving like a large, fuzzy tennis ball.  Now, she didn't know how
she could live without heroin, without the needle.
     Hopefully she watched the door, craning her head.  She was so
accustomed to the straps that she didn't try to move her bound
hand and foot anymore.  It was automatic to work around them.
     God!  It had been a long time since Manuel had come.  Her
lips were dry, but Renee felt the perspiration dotting her face
and body.  Once, earlier, Manuel had been late.  Renee thought
then she was going to die.  But now it was worse, much worse.
     "Manuel!  Manuel!"  Fran was writhing on her own bed, sobbing
the Mexican's name as her anguish rose.  At first the two women
talked.  They seldom spoke to each other anymore.
     What was there to say, Renee wondered bitterly.  Either they
were in pink clouds at the beginning of a trip, or they were in
agony.  Friendship had become unimportant to her, to both of them.
     Renee almost cried with joy when the door opened and Manuel
came into the room.
     Moving without fuss, he unfastened Fran and then came over
and took the straps off Renee.  "You both can go now," he said
grandly.
     Fran and Renee both stood, naked and trembling, afraid to
believe their ears.
     "Go on," Manuel smiled at them.  "Little ones, run home to
mother."
     Staring at each other, Fran and Renee both started sobbing at
once.  Tears of joy, sorrow, and of frustration.  At last the
nightmare had come to an end.
     Grabbing Fran's hand blindly with hers, Renee started backing
toward the door, afraid to thrust the pimp long enough to turn her
back.  It was a trick, she thought, and steeled herself for the
shock of finding the door locked.
     But the latch clicked firmly when she turned the handle.
Peering outside in the corridor, Renee saw no one.
     "Come on, Fran," she cried happily, "we're going home!"
     "Haven't you forgotten something?"
     Manuel took the hypodermic needle out of his pocket and held
it up to the light.  "A good-bye kiss, maybe."
     Renee felt her resolve slipping away.  "Come on, Fran," she
urged.  But the older woman just stood and shivered, her eyes
frozen to that clear cylinder of liquid the Mexican was holding.
     "Fran?"
     The blonde woman shook Renee's hand free and began to edge
back toward Manuel.  Her eyes were glued on the jolt that he held
in his hand.
     Renee tried to resist.  To break the spell.  She knew that
she had to leave Fran.  She had to leave that room and run down
the hall to the street and freedom.
     "You know," Manuel was saying casually, "the people outside,
they will not be so good about providing for you.  I mean," a
pained expression crossed his face, "take my friend, Mr. Heroin.
You think anyone out there will give him to you?  No!"  Manuel
emphatically shook his head.
     "No," he whispered.  "Out there they put you in a leetle room
with bars.  And they make you go, how you say, cold turkey."
     When Renee shivered this time, it was with fear.  Not to have
a shot?  She'd die.  She couldn't do it!  Longingly she stared at
the door.  But she knew that already it was too late.
     Manuel's voice droned on and on and she fidgeted, first on
one foot and then the other.  She was starting to hurt.  Her
stomach was cramped and the muscles were being drawn out of her
flesh like cold wires.
     "Please!"  Fran ran forward a few short steps and wrapped her
arms around Manuel's legs.  "Please!" the blonde girl cried.
Tears flowed from her eyes, wetting her cheeks, dripping down on
her breasts.
     "Un momento, senorita."  Manuel chastised her for
interrupting him.
     Ploddingly he droned on, watching Renee furtively.  She
wanted to plead, to beg.  She would have done almost anything for
that needle.  She couldn't go out the door, anymore.  If only he
wasn't waiting for her to beg, expecting it.
     She stood and stared at the bright square of light at the
window while she died ten times over---waiting, just lasting to
the moment she could endure no longer.
     "Please, Renee," Fran sobbed.  "Ask him."
     Wordlessly, Renee held out her arm.
     "I tell you, leetle one, today I have only enough for one of
you.  That one who pleases me the most, she shall have it."
     "Please you ...  How?" Renee measured the words out.
     Manuel snickered.  "You know how you must please me, don't
you, chica?"  And he patted Fran's head.  "Don't you, leetle one?"
     Fran whimpered and started undressing Manuel.  Renee watched
for a moment, and then the last vestige of her resolve was gone
and she hurried forward to help the blonde girl strip their
keeper.



                            Chapter 12

     Manuel took them across the hallway to another small room,
much like the one they left, except this room was without beds.
Its only furniture was a low table.  Ropes dangled from the
ceiling and the floor was littered with odds and ends, most of it
unidentifiable to Renee.
     "You," Manuel took Renee's arm, "get on the table."
     Renee wanted to say no.  She was trembling and she was
afraid.  But something stronger than her own will was moving her.
She sat on the edge of the table which was barely higher than her
hips.
     "Lie down!"
     Obediently she stretched out on the table and, under the
urging of his hands, rolled over onto her belly.
     His hands, the touch of them was enough to send shivers of
passion through her body.  It seemed like forever that they kind
been touching her, feeling her, making her do things.
     Manuel was rummaging around the floor.  Finally he found what
he wanted and walked over to stand in front of her.  It was a
belt.  A piece of broad leather that tapered down to a narrow
tongue.  He held the brass buckle in his hand as he stepped close
to Renee.
     His cock dangled at a level with her face.  It was so close
she smelled the odor of stale semen and urine.  Blue veins as
thick as pencils wandered around it, clasped it, throbbed to a
heavy, pulsating beat.
     Already the saliva poured unbidden into her mouth.  She
caught the dangling prick between her lips and sucked it into her
mouth.  She closed her eyes and some of the tension left her body
as she manipulated the big, soft rod with her tongue---as her lips
played the smooth object like a flute, sliding up and down its
length.
     It was a blessed relief.  Renee wanted to sob as the terrible
hunger of her body for the drug receded into the background.
     Her whole body became involved in the sucking of Manuel's
thick, brown rod.  Every muscle loosened and contracted in time to
the hot movements of her mouth and lips and tongue.  A sort of
pleasant, comfortable fog settled over her mind and Renee was able
to stop thinking, stop feeling anything but that rubbery muscle
swelling and pulsing in her mouth.
     Suddenly she screamed, as much in shock as agony!
     A searing pain cut across her buttocks and nipped her thigh.
She tried to pull her head away from Manuel cock, but he held it
there with his free hand.  In his other hand he dangled the belt,
like a long, flaccid, thin penis waiting to be revived.
     "Don't bite, leetle one," he hissed.  "Be very careful.  Very
careful or I will lock you in a leetle room with the snakes and
the crawling creatures.  And no one will visit you there.  You
understand, no?"
     Renee tried to mumble around his fat penis.  Finally nodded
her head.
     "Bueno!"
     Wide-eyed, staring into the thin black hair on Manuel's
belly, she began sucking anxiously at his cock which seemed to
have blown up twice its usual size at the first blow of the belt.
Maybe, if she did well, he wouldn't hit her again.  Maybe.
     The second blow was lighter.  Just a soft leather slap that
warmed her rear.  She jerked against Manuel, ramming his cock all
the way into her throat, feeling the soft head filling her and
making her gag for an instant.
     And then Manuel found his swing.  Faster and faster, harder
the blows rained down on her ass.  Each time the belt hit it found
a more tender place, until Renee was whimpering continually around
Manuel's throbbing meat.
     "Spread your legs!" he ordered.
     Inside, Renee cringed.  It was too much.  She couldn't.  Her
body wouldn't obey her.  Manual spoke to Fran.  Renee listened to
him order the blonde girl to do it for her.
     Then she felt Fran's warm, slender hands on her ankles,
moving her legs further and further apart until they were pulled
wide open and her sweaty crack was quivering, exposed to the cold
air of the room.
     It was almost as if her legs, her body didn't belong to her
anymore.  She couldn't control them---tell them to close
themselves.  But she could feel there stretched out and out and
out.
     Manuel ran his hand over the soft globes of Renee's ass.  She
quivered as his hand caressed the glowing redness where the belt
had struck.  The movement lighted his cock on fire.
     Taking up the belt, he slammed it down on the soft, red
flesh.  Only this time, the narrow tip curled along the curve of
her ass and lashed against the tender inside of her white thigh.
     Renee cried outs but Manuel's hand was twined in her long,
black hair and she couldn't move.  The belt snapped across her
butt again, and this time it didn't miss.  The uncurling leather
rippled in a hot flame that smashed against the tender lips of her
cunt.
     Close to unconsciousness, Renee held back the tears
stubbornly.  Her whole ass was on fire and now this.  Why was he
doing it?  Wasn't it enough that he could do what he wanted with
her?  Wasn't fucking her enough? she cried to herself.
     The belt flailed down again and again and she could tell the
way he drove his cock into her mouth, the way it flared, when his
probing belt slapped her tender slit, that Manuel was enjoying her
pain.
     She sobbed out loud as the pain engulfed her.  And then she
was sliding into darkness.

                           *    *    *

     When she woke, Renee was on her back staring at the ceiling.
Manuel was panting in her ear and a delicious agony was radiating
through her body from her tender cunt.
     Manuel lurched against her and she cried out in agony.  His
rod plunged into her burning depths, her smarting vagina tried to
retreat, and then her burning, blistered ass hit the table and she
plunged her hips into the air carrying Manuel up on his imbedded
prick.
     "Bueno!" he cried. "muy bueno."  And he drove his prick in
deeper and harder.
     Tears poured from Renee's eyes.  She couldn't stand it---and
she couldn't stop.  Her body tingled with pleasure as that pulsing
prick bored into her.  Even when her burning ass quivered in
agony, the rest of her thrilled to darts of pleasure.
     Harder she lunged against Manuel.  Harder and harder.
     And then she was a raven tressed butterfly pinned to the
collector's board by Manuel's needle of love, pumping his cream
into her.  Filling her with something better than heroin as she
cried out for one last time before slipping into unconsciousness
again.

                           *    *    *

     She woke later to the sharp prick of a needle.  She was back
on her cot, lashed to it again.  Manuel was bending over her,
pushing the plunger home.
     "No!" she cried.
     "Don't worry, leetle one.  You try to please Manuel.  I see
that.  So I give you both your rewards.  Manuel is very nice.
You'll see."  He smiled and took the needle out and patted her.
     "Now you will feel no pain, leetle one.  No pain at all."
     Renee rose on a pink cloud that carried her outside her body.
While she felt each twinge and ache, Manuel was right.  There was
no pain.  For a long time she floated in space, staring at the
ravished body that had once been hers, tenderly caressing the red
welts that streaked the once satiny white skin.
     But it wasn't her body anymore, was it?  It was Manuel's.
That didn't seem quite right.  But, and she giggled, somehow
Manuel had two bodies now and she had none.  And she laughed to
think that he was in the poor, suffering little girl body with the
black hair curling in a long pony tail almost to the angry red
butt.  It served him right.
     It served him damn good and right!



                            Chapter 13

     The taxista insisted that he knew where he was going when
they started.  And after stopping at three dirty little buildings
where the main source of income was the selling of women flesh, he
was still muttering, "Calma, senor!  Calma, por favor!  I find
pretty quick."
     Alex settled back in the cab and let him try.  That was all
he could do.
     The next building was a squat, dirty green two-story with
grimy windows and a smell half-way between second-hand semen and a
spilled bottle of cheap perfume, the sort someone might use to
disguise a cesspool.
     Two or three Mexican women with furtive eyes were stringing
fresh-washed sheets on a line.
     The taxista went up to one of them and asked if this was La
Casa de Los Angeles.
     "Si."  The woman, swarthy with the high cheekbones that
revealed much Indian blood, walked away and began to hang laundry
on the next line.
     The taxista followed her, spewing a voluble stream of Spanish
apparently designed to get her talking again.  She spat on the
ground and turned her back.
     Saying something clearly obscene, the cab driver grabbed the
woman and turned her, raising his hand to strike her across the
face.
     "Hit me," she said, "pig!  Then I tell Manuel Ramos and he
will fix one pig of a taxista!"
     The cab driver's olive complexion paled visibly.
"Perdoname," he said, backing off.
     The Indian woman laughed at him.  "Come back tonight, pig!
When we are open.  We do not work day and night like some
animals!"
     "No!" the taxista snapped back.  "Just at night, like all
animals!"  Hastily he dodged a clod of dirt one of the women threw
at him, and then he was pushing Alex back into the cab as the
women screeched insults after him to the effect that he was the
result of a coupling between his mother and a scabby dog.
     The prostitutes were still in the dusty dirt road making
obscene gestures when they were more than a block away.
     "Whores!" the driver said in disgust, hawked and spat out his
window.
     Alex dodged back in time to escape the backlash.  "Yes," he
said.
     "It's no good talking to them.  What can a man say to a woman
who makes a living on her back.  They are only good for one
thing."  The driver took both hands off the wheel to punctuate his
words with a short, vicious gesture.  "Putas!  They say they are
too busy to take you now.  That they are too good to wipe their
shoes with you.  Come back tonight, they say."  The driver
unleashed another stream of disgusted spittle out the open car
window.
     "It's all right."
     "Bueno.  We go someplace else.  I know a nice girl in the
hills.  No casa de putas.  Clean.  Better for you than those
whores.  Si?"
     "No," Alex said.  "Take me to the border for now."
     The driver shrugged.  "You are loco!"
     "Yes.  I am that!"

                           *    *    *

     Alex went to his apartment where he changed his clothes.
Then, making a face at himself in the mirror, he went to the San
Diego Police Station, a rambling Spanish style building that
sprawled on the edge of the waterfront across from the Coronado
Ferry.
     At least the Mexican police had listened to him.  But the
American version was so much more precise, logical.
     Did he know the women's names?  No!  Just Fran and Renee.
     Did he know where they were staying?  No!  He thought it was
a hotel in San Diego, but he wasn't sure.  That brought a chuckle
and the question, "You know how many hotels there are in San
Diego, buddy?"
     Where were they from?  That was easier.  They were
schoolteachers from Eureka, Montana.  ("Jesus Christ, where's
Eureka, Montana?"  And they all had to search a McNally Atlas to
prove there was such a place.)
     Then the cops gave him a funny look after he described the
way the two women hall picked him up and taken him to the
whorehouse.  In fact, the way they were trading looks gave Alex
the impression he was going to see the inside of a psychiatrist's
office if he hung around too long.
     He broke off the conversation and said, awkwardly, he had to
go.
     "Sure, buddy."  The detective leaned across the desk to look
at him more carefully, as if memorizing his face.  He was a clean-
cut young kid.  The sort they put on police recruiting posters.
"We'll check," he said.  "We'll let you know what we find."
     The look he gave Alex promised that wasn't all he was going
to check.  "Besides," he added, "there's not much we can do in
Mexico anyway."
     Alex tucked his tail between his legs and retreated as
gracefully as he could.
     There was something to be said about unshaven Mexican cops
with fat guts, he had to admit.  Maybe they didn't get all the job
done---but at least they did part of it.
     Anyway, Alex knew where he stood, now.
     Alone.  Completely and irrevocably alone.  If anything was
going to be done he was going to do it.
     Alex Benson, he thought, boy detective.  He wished that he
had passed out in that bar before the two women found him.
Traveling salesmen, he thought bitterly, should stick to traveling
and not Galahading around in foreign countries Not even in this
country.
     Rubbing his eyes wearily, he decided there was time for a nap
before he headed back to Tijuana.



                            Chapter 14

     It seemed so long.  Renee sighed and stretched.  It seemed
forever that she and Fran had shared this dirty, foul room.  She
stared blankly at the cold, white light illuminating the grimy
window pane and it didn't mean escape or freedom anymore.  It
meant nothing because she couldn't escape.
     There was no place to go.  There was no one to go to.  She
shivered as she remembered the lust that was becoming a part of
her life.  She wanted it to stop.  But her own fiber was
interwoven in it.  Sometimes she forgot whether it was Manuel who
suggested the games they play---or if they were her idea, or
Fran's.
     Everything was so confused!  Renee shook her head, as if that
had something to do with the massive confusion around her.
     "Fran?"
     "Uh?" the blonde girl rolled groggily over on her gray
blanket and stared blankly at Renee.
     "We've got to get out of here, Fran.  We've got to make plans
for escaping!"  Renee felt hysteria gripping her as she realized
the blonde girl wasn't responding, just staring blankly at her as
if she had a screw loose.
     Fran's body was a beautiful flash of ivory twisted on the
cot.  She looked almost languorous, sprawled out with her honey-
colored hair spread carelessly under her head.
     Fran looked, Renee realized with a feeling of dismay stabbing
at her heart, as if she had adapted.  As if she belonged here in
this place and this time!
     What did she look like herself, though?  She stared at the
soft, dark skin she got from her French mother and wondered.  Did
she look like she belonged, too?
     Could anybody really belong to this?
     She searched her soul and the answer frightened her.  There
was no doubt in her mind.  It was "Yes!"
     An unequivocal, definite yes!
     Renee stared at Fran with new fear in her eyes.  Fran
belonged now and the blonde girl couldn't help any longer.  It was
up to her.  For both their sakes.  Only ...
     She was scared.  Desperately, mortally scared.  She asked
herself the same question she was going to ask Fran: if she wanted
to escape?
     Only she didn't know.  She couldn't make the decision now.
And, when the time came, what decision would she make?
     Renee collapsed on the bed and the sweat beaded on her body
despite the chill in the room.  It's the heroin, she told herself.
It's the desire for heroin that's making me sweat.
     But she lied to herself, and she knew it.  It was fear---fear
that she wouldn't be strong enough when the time came to make a
choice.  Fear that maybe, just maybe, she would choose to live in
her body as an animal, as a manifestation of lust, as nothing.
     Quietly she cried herself to sleep.

                           *    *    *

     When Manuel came again, was it days or hours, Renee wondered
dully?  He unleashed them and let them sit up and eat bowls of
foul smelling soup and bean tacos.
     Renee wasn't really hungry.  She ate mechanically, chewing
and gulping her food in a methodical fashion that made it
disappear speedily without coaxing.  The dull lust that was always
in her body now was coming to life.  It twisted her intestines and
chilled her skin.  She ate faster.  The sooner she was done, the
sooner Manuel would give her her reward.
     He led them across the hall, the grim, dirty hall with the
two naked light bulbs in the ceiling, burning day and night.
     Manuel undressed and hung his clothes from a nail in the
light green, plastered wall.
     "Fran," he said.  He pronounced it "Frahn," and he gestured
the blonde girl up to the low table.
     Holding her shoulders, he lay her back on the table, with her
butt hanging over the end and her feet straining for purchase on
the floor.  Fran whimpered as he tied her wrists to the table so
she couldn't change her position.
     Fran's breasts were beautiful, twin ice peaks capped with
dark red flowers.  Manuel ran his hand down her taut belly and
dawdled near her spread thighs before he brought them up to her
breasts and began to squeeze.  Fran moaned and arched her back.
     Manuel was sucking her tits.  Drawing them out.  Making the
nipples blossom into round rods that slipped between his lips.
     Renee quivered, almost enviously.  The blonde girl was
writhing back and forth breathing harshly as Manuel mouthed her
breasts.
     He moved between her legs, spreading them wider, making the
girl arch higher to keep her straining toes on the ground taking
part of her weight.  Tenderly, Manuel stroked her belly, bringing
moans to her lips.  His hands glided over her hairy crotch,
squeezing the white skin inside her thighs.
     "Please!" Fran cried.  "Hurry!  Fuck me, Manuel!  Fuck me!"
     Instead he placed one finger in her slit and slowly began
rubbing it in and out.
     Renee drew closer, fascinated.  Fran's twat was twitching
excitedly.  Her liquid was dripping down her leg in a thick
stream.  And still Manuel continued his excruciatingly slow
manipulation.
     Faster, Renee thought.  Faster!  She could almost feel that
finger stroking the inside of her own passage.  Her hips convulsed
in sympathetic rhythm to his probing digit.
     Fran's cunt lips were swollen with blood, pink through the
blonde pelt between her legs.  She was writhing and screaming and
shouting, but Manuel refused to bring her to a climax.
     "Give me a cigarillo!" he ordered.
     Renee hurried to his clothes, groped around in the pockets
for a minute before she found his cigarettes.  She still needed
matches.  Her fingers went back through the pockets until she felt
the smooth, slick cover of a matchbook---and something else.
     Trembling, she pulled her hand out of Manuel's pocket holding
a book of matches and the hypodermic needle.  For a long moment
she held the needle, ready to stab it into her own flesh.
     With a shudder, she finally jammed it back in the pocket and
turned, carrying the cigarettes back to the Mexican.
     "Light it," he said, disgusted.  "Can't you see, my hands are
busy?"
     Renee's hands as she put a cigarette in her mouth, struck a
match to light it.  She couldn't take her eyes off Fran's
stretched out body.
     She put the lighted cigarette between Manuel's lips and he
puffed on it for a moment before taking it in his hand.
     Casually he pushed closer to Fran until his prick was resting
against her hole.  He removed his finger and it was as if somebody
turned off the electricity.  Fran moaned and sagged dragging
Manuel's cock downward by the bite her lips had on it.
     Manuel took a heavy drag on the cigarette, and then very
slowly, very deliberately, reached down and held the red glowing
tip to Fran's ass!
     Fran screamed!  Her hips heaved up and out in reflex, driving
Manuel's rod into her to the hilt.  She moaned at the sudden
swelling inside her and then she was slipping down as her
quivering toes relaxed.
     Her butt hit the glowing cigarette a second time.  A second
time she screamed and she ground Manuel's plow into her furrow.
     Again and again she repeated it.  Renee lost count seeing and
feeling that cigarette burning into Fran's butt.
     Fran arched up, yelping and finally Manuel's hand followed
her and ground the cigarette out on the soft flesh of her ass as
she forced as much of him in her as would go.
     She screamed, long after it was out, as orgasm after orgasm
racked her body setting her breasts jiggling and her cunt pressing
so hard against Manuel that his cock was completely engulfed.
     He pumped into her, his buttocks working, and then he let her
slowly slide off until she was sagging from the end of the table.
     The Mexican turned toward Renee.  "Clean it," he said,
pointing to his cock, still coated with milky white fluid.
     "With what?" Renee looked around helplessly for a cloth.
     "With your mouth!" Manuel grabbed her and forced her to kneel
in front of him.  He held her head steady while he forced his cock
through her tight lips.
     Renee struggled, horrified.  She smelled Fran's musk on the
Mexican's rod.  But he pushed in anyway, and the soothing feeling
that always overcame Renee when she had him in her mouth was
working almost instantly.
     She tasted the alienness of Fran's juice on Manuel, and she
was surprised that it seemed pleasant.  Greedily, she sucked his
rod, humming, and licking the moisture off his balls.
     As she started to work his cock, start it swelling again,
Manuel pulled it out of her mouth.
     He turned her.  "Now clean that," he commanded.
     Renee gasped.  She was staring into Fran's tangled mat of
blonde hair, at her pink pussy just starting to lose its swell, at
the white liquid that seeped from it.  She tried to shake her
head, but Manuel grabbed her by the hair and forced her to walk on
her knees until she was kneeling between Fran's spread thighs.
     Staring straight up, Renee could see the tip of Fran's jaw
lolling open between the valley of her two smooth breasts.
     Slowly her gaze traveled down the blonde girl's body, over
the soft mound of stomach, to the fringe of hair that started at
the top of her thighs and thickened Finally to the pale lips
staring at her.
     Something caught the back of her head, pushed her face
forward.  Suddenly she was trapped against the incredibly soft
meat of Fran's cunt.
     Instinctively, Renee's tongue went out and caressed the
sloppy lips.  She tasted Manuel's cum, smelled the strong odor of
Fran.
     Gingerly, she put her hands on Francs thighs, forcing them
further apart, opening the blonde girl to her invading tongue.
     Her tongue caressed and probed and rubbed and after a while
Fran was flexing her hips against Renee's questing mouth.  Renee
sighed and rammed her tongue into the hot passage, feeling the
heated walls stirring.
     It was like a dream.  Like she was doing it to herself.  She
found Fran's tiny stem and with her tongue unfolded it.
Carefully, she caught it in her lips and began suckling it.
     Fran cried and whimpered and wrapped her legs around Renee's
head.
     Renee didn't care anymore.  She was insatiable, gobbling
noisily at the sweet cunt in front of her.  Like a snake probing
in a dark corner, she began flicking her tongue in and out, in and
out of Fran's slippery swat.
     Fran went wild.  She bucked and rode against Renee's mouth
and then cried out without warning, shooting her legs straight
into the air behind Renee, her whole body in the rigid throes of
orgasm.
     Sighing, Renee tasteful the sweet juices pouring out of the
blonde girl's throbbing cunt, smelled the sweet scent of her body.
She cried out and collapsed.  Exhausted.  As if she, too, had been
through the rigors of orgasm.



                            Chapter 15

     Alex got out of the cab in front of La Casa de Los Angeles
and paid the driver a dollar for the six-block ride.  It was a
time-honored Tijuana price for a ride to any casa de putas in the
city.
     Outside it looked dark.  Boards blocked the windows and only
an occasional chink let light creep out into the darkness.
     He walked up to the door, and, only when he was inches away
and it swung open apparently of its own volition, did he realize
that there was a man's dark shadow behind the screen and that he
was looking into a room of almost total darkness.
     Along one wall were couches.  Backless beds, really, covered
with nondescript flowered material that he couldn't see clearly.
     On the other wall were a couple of chairs.  "Pase, senor,"
the doorman said.  He slammed the screen behind Alex.
     He followed the room to its end where he pushed-aside a
blanket that served as a door.  The heat in the room rushed out at
him and poured over his body.  There was something about the heat,
it came from the packed, sweaty bodies.  It carried with it the
hot musky odor of women and the sour, rancid smell of meets sweat
and semen.
     A red light bulb hung naked from the ceiling, casting a dimly
weird glow over the entire room.  It was early yet and a weekday
night, besides.  Mostly the room held women.  Alex counted eight
lounging around talking and laughing.
     There were two sailors, nervously negotiating with a couple
of old pros who had recognized their youth and inexperience when
they walked in the door.
     Alex knew that as soon as the prostitutes had the bell-
bottoms behind closed doors they'd somehow wheedle more than the
agreed price out of them.
     He shrugged.  It was none of his business.  The kids would
just have to learn the facts of life the hard way.
     He turned his attention to the women scattered around the
room.  It took only a glance to confirm the fact that neither Fran
nor Renee were here.  He had that much immediate reassurance.
     One of the prostitutes, a lush blonde with heavy breasts that
jiggled through the thin fabric of her blouse, got up and walked
over to him.  "You have a cigarettes"
     Awkwardly, Alex dug out a pack and a match.  The whore was
standing so close to him, her tits were burning hot holes in his
chest.  He gave her the cigarette and lighted it.
     "Gracias."  She jerked her head, flopping her hair over her
shoulder.  Alex, looking closer, could see the black roots under
her bleach job.  "You want to go in back?" she asked.
     "Sure."
     "Bueno."  She patted his crotch and said something in fast
Spanish before turning and leading him down the hall.
     She had a nice ass.  Big, but artfully designed, Alex
thought, walking along behind her.  Her tight, red skirt that
ended above the knees made it apparent she probably wasn't wearing
anything underneath it.
     She stopped at a grubby, windowless door with the paint
starting to crack and peel, and rapped softly.
     There was no answer and she said, "Okay," and pushed the door
open to let Alex walk in first.  She reached to one wall and
flipped a switch, turning the light on.
     Winking at Alex, she shut the door behind them and latched it
with a five-and-dime bolt before walking across the room into a
tiny bathroom and pulling the string that turned the light on.
Then she turned the overhead light off.
     "Bueno?" she asked.
     "Good!" Alex said.
     She began undressing and when she was down to her skirt, slid
it down over gently swelling hips to prove Alex was right about
the panties.
     He gaped, though, when he saw her crotch.  She was as naked
as a baby girl.  She knelt on the edge of the bed and put her arms
around his neck.  "Now you get undressed, si?"
     "Yes!"  Alex let his hand wander down her belly, quivering at
the vast expanse of smooth skin just slightly prickly, like a
beard that had a couple of hours growth.
     Suddenly his fingers touched something slippery, rubbery.
Different in texture from the skin.  Hastily he drew his arm back,
his fingers starting to feel the fire running through them.
     "Why you stop?"
     "Uh, I'd better get undressed, first."  Alex started to
unbutton his shirt.  "Would you like another cigarette?"
     "Ahora?"
     "Why not?"
     The girl looked puzzled and then laughed.  "Si.  There is not
macho business.  Porque, no?"
     Alex lighted it for her and finished undressing before
sitting down on the bed.
     Wrapping her arms around him, the bleached blonde slid on top
of him, pressing her tits against his stomach and rubbing his cock
with her stomach.  She put her lips against his chest and tattooed
him with lipstick marks.
     Alex reached down and filled his hands with her breasts.
They were even bigger and more resilient than he had imagined.  He
began squeezing them and the girl wiggled her body against his
prick.  It was up straight and hard and it dug into her.  She knew
it was there, knew what she was doing.
     Deftly she slid down and began kissing it, slobbering on it
noisily.  She had turned and her butt was a gleaming pair of
crescents near his face.
     He put his hand out and caught her thigh and gently began to
draw her to him until her legs straddled his head and he was
looking straight up into that beautiful pink, naked cunt.
     With his tongue, Alex began to stroke her thighs, even the
swell of her buttocks, dodging tantalizingly around the object of
his attention.  His actions caused the girl to become more
demanding as she gnawed on his erect cock, stroked it with her
lips, licked it with her tongue.  Her cool fingers fondled his
balls, stirring Alex to a frenzy.
     Pressing his face into her soft crotch he seized the naked
clitoris in his teeth and yanked and then sucked in, until he was
collapsing her insides, taking the hot air from her passage to
fill his body.
     She squealed and quivered and when Alex tried to let go, her
ass followed him down to the bed.
     She was going wild on his cock.  Alex's hips were pounding it
into her mouth and she was riding his prick with her lips as if
her life depended on it.
     But her crotch and thighs engulfed his face and Alex felt
like he was smothering.  He tried to shove her off.  But she
wouldn't go.  She kept forcing herself down on him.
     In desperation, he opened his mouth and sank his teeth into
her juicy cunt.
     She squealed and lifted slightly.  Alex thought he was
getting free, and then she wiggled her cunt frantically over his
mouth, kissing his lips with her wet nether lips.
     Again Alex bit into her.  This time he ground his teeth into
her flesh and she groaned around his meat.  He shoved her over and
she rolled on her back, taking him with her, still holding tightly
to his cock with her mouth.
     "Again, nifio!" she cried.  "Do it again!" she held her legs
straight up in the air so his mouth would be guided down to his
target, the split of her V.
     Alex was fascinated by the bald, tender swat.  Before, it had
been dry.  But now it was a veritable well spring of love juice
pouring out of her pink fountain.
     He began to lap it.
     "No, no!" she moaned.  "Bite it, baby!  Otro vez?  Eat me,
baby!"
     Drawn by her words, yet repelled at the same time, Alex
lowered his head and caught her clitoris in his teeth, pinching
the tiny sprout.  The girl sobbed, "Si, si!" and heaved against
him.  He shifted his hold, nipping the tender lips of her love
nest until they were so bruised and tender his tongue just
touching her brought shrieks of ecstasy.
     Using his hands to spread her legs, Alex caught his fingers
deep in her cunt and spread her wide open until her deepest
passage was open to the air.
     He nipped and chewed at her like a raging animal until the
blood flowed in a dozen tiny trickles.  And all the time she was
screaming at him.  "Si, do it, baby!  Do it!"
     Finally, he could barely rouse her.  She lay limp, urging him
on in a hoarse whisper.
     He turned and spread her legs out as widely as he could
manage while she responded limply.
     Then he placed the tip of his cock on her bruised and
bleeding box and lunged into her with all his might.
     She cried and begged him to stop.  He could feel her passage
convulsing around his cock so tightly at times that he had to tear
through it.  Slowly her body responded until she was pounding
against him, crying with the ecstasy of his ram smashing into her
tender walls.
     He lunged and she caught his legs with hers and locked him
against her while his heat flowed into her cup and filled her.

                           *    *    *

     Alex lighted cigarettes for both of them and they lay
together quietly.
     "You liked that?" Alex asked quietly.
     "Si!  It was wonderful, no?"  The prostitute wiped a tear
from her eye and looked into the cigarette smoke.  "You do not
understand.  You think I am an animal, no?  But you are wrong."
She snuggled back against him and let him place his penis between
the cheeks of her ass but slapped his hands away from her cunt.
     "It hurts," she said simply.
     "But you enjoyed it?"
     "Si!  Since Manuel ... since I came here it is all the
pleasure I have left.  Thank you!"  And she wiggled her ass
against him, working his cock into the tight, wrinkled hole there.
     "I know you did not like it," she said.  "I am sorry.  I do
not want to be this way.  It is because of ... well ... because,
that is all."
     "Because of Manuel Ramos?"
     The girl stiffened, the muscles of her butt strangling the
head of Alex's prick.  "How you know about Manuel?"
     "Oh, someone said something about him.  Maybe a cab driver.
I don't remember."  Reassuringly, Alex put his arms around the
whore and felt her luscious breasts.  That was something the girl
understood.  She took his hands and placed them on her nipples.
They were rigidly distended, like spikes.
     "Long time that no happen," she said simply.  "I have special
feeling for you."
     Alex began to rock against her, slowly working his prick into
her asshole and feeling her shudder against its probing attack.
His hand clamped tightly around her tits and pinched the nipples
unmercifully until she was moaning again.
     "Are all these girls Manuel's?" Alex asked softly.
     The girl shook her head and moaned again.  "No," she grunted
and rammed her butt at his cock, almost crying when it missed the
aching hole.  "Just three.  But he has two more chicas.  I know.
We are not enough to keep him."
     And then Alex heaved and his heavy cock split the delicate
tissue and ran like a spike into the girl's body.
     He held her in his arms and rolled on his back and all the
tune she was whimpering and wiggling on his probing tool.  She sat
up on him and he drove in deeper, spreading her cheeks with his
fingers.  Then he turned her on his spindle until she was facing
him and her legs splayed out on each side of his body.
     She was burning with desire.  Her cunt was dripping onto his
bare body like a leaky faucet.  He reached out towards her and put
both hands on her thighs and paused.
     Grunting with pleasure, the girl was almost oblivious to him.
Her ass gripped his prick like a glove and milked it with every
movement.  He poised his thumbs and looked her face.
     Then he plunged them both in, simultaneously, into that
battered and abused cunt.  Letting out a stifled shriek, the girl
clasped both hands to her mouth and closed her eyes.
     Her ass grabbed Alex's rod and threatened to tear it apart.
He groaned with agony it was so tight, and then her hips were
flailing and she was bouncing up and down and crying out and his
prick dug deeper and deeper and deeper into her until he was sure
he had gone all the way through her body.
     Semen seared and rose in him on a spire of fire.  But her ass
gripped him so tightly it couldn't burst free.  He was in agony.
     He heaved his body, driving harder into her hole and his
fingers were pliers on her sloppy, dripping swat.
     Her climax raced through her in waves.  Hard and soft.
     Alex soared with her.  Her muscles constricting and loosening
his cock so he spurted into her like a machine gun and the head of
his prick burned from the friction.
     The girl moaned and collapsed limply forward, her bleached
hair making a white veil across Alex's face.  Slowly, he felt his
prick pulling out of her warm depths, her ass shrinking after
taking the huge intruder.
     For a long time, the two of them lay that way, not moving in
their mutual exhaustion.
     Stirring finally, the girl brushed his face with her lips.
"You take me with you, no?"
     "How can I?"
     "Si."  She was silent and she rubbed her tired cunt against
his body, dragging a cool track up it.  "How you know," she said,
"about Manual Ramos?"
     "Because he took my ..."  Alex looked into the bleached
blonde's eyes.  Brown, murderously sharp eyes.
     "Take me," she had said.  And he had said, "No!"  Her eyes
told him that.  Enough.
     "Because a cab driver told me," Alex mumbled again.
     When he left he overpaid her.  He hoped it was enough.  He
hoped to God it was.



                            Chapter 16

     Manuel had Renee and Fran change positions.  Renee's heart
thudded wildly as the two tied her down, her back slithering in
the pool of sweat left by Fran's body.  Her butt hung over the end
of the table and her legs quivered with the effort of reaching the
ground and taking some of the weight off her back muscles, already
aching from the strain.
     Combined with the anticipation of what was to come, the
feeling was delicious.  Renee hated herself for it, but how could
she deny it?  Watching Fran get fucked, eating her sloppy cunt had
roused her to such a high pitch of excitement she would have
fought the blonde girl for the privilege of being next.
     The strain across her lower belly was excruciating.  Every
muscle in her crotch was pulled taut.  Just breathing disturbed
them enough to titillate her.
     God!  What was Manuel waiting for?  She couldn't wait to feel
his prick digging into that tight hole, tearing her apart.
     She knew she was going to scream with pleasure.  Now that he
was half drained, he'd take longer.  He'd pound her until she was
whimpering with exhaustion, and she wanted it!  Lying on that
table, feeling the rough ropes that held her wrists, she knew that
she wanted it that way!
     For a long moment she stared at a crack that ran the length
of the ceiling and realized what was happening to her.  She hated
Manual.  And yet her body cried for him, literally.  Already her
pussy was weeping its stream of liquid.
     Manuel stepped up to the end of the table and stroked her
trembling thighs.  Each touch of his hand was an electric shock
that made her twitch
     Eagerly she spread her legs, inviting him.
     Hurry, she thought.  Hurry.
     Manuel was moving toward her spread crotch.  She could see
him between the warm, dark mounds of her breasts.  Hesitantly she
licked her suddenly dry lips with her tongue.  Already, her hips
were slithering her ass around, working her cunt lips in soundless
words.
     He was placing his prick against her.  She felt the steady
pressure on her twat and her hips started jerking faster, rubbing
against it with more and more friction until she thought if it
wouldn't go in she would go crazy.
     There was a knock at the door.  A firm knock.
     Manuel stepped away from Renee and looked at the door in
irritation.  He opened it a crack and said, "Como?"
     Through the narrow crack, Renee saw the outline of a woman's
hair, a bleached blonde, and heard her whispered conversation, but
couldn't make out the words.
     Manuel shut the door and hastily put on his clothes.  Not
saying a word, he stepped outside and slammed the door behind him,
leaving Renee and Fran alone in the room.
     Renee stared at the ceiling again.  She wanted to scream.
She was going to scream.

                           *    *    *

     Manuel Ramos followed Esperanza to the top of the stairs
where they could stand behind a blanket hung there to keep the
upstairs light out.
     His eyes followed where her finger was pointing and he
stiffened.  The American, wearing a sport coat and slacks this
time instead of a suit, was the same one who had been with Fran
and Renee the night he "acquired" them.  "Send Jose up," he
hissed.
     Hurriedly the girl scurried down the stairs and out the front
where the doorman kept watch.
     The American worried Manuel.  He walked around and seemed to
be talking with everyone.  He was behaving all right.  And yet,
Esperanza said he had been looking specifically for him for a
reason he wouldn't tell to her.  Manuel frowned.  This was no time
for complications like a nosy Americano prying around.  A week
more and he would be rid of the two women, anyway.  They would be
too hot to keep this close to the border.  Besides, the market in
Uruguay already agreed to take them.
     Sometimes, Manuel thought, his contacts in South America were
in good with the Communists because they always paid him with
heroin.  Not that he was complaining.  It was always good H.  He
never had any trouble selling heroin.  It was just that heroin did
not come from South America in the quantity and quality that he
knew was passing through there.  More likely it came from China.
     Jose burst through the blanket and stood waiting for Manuel
to tell him what to do.  He was built square, like a chimney.
Even his broad, Mexican peon face was angular with flat slabs of
bone for his cheeks and a heavy ridge over his eyes.
     Pointing the American out, Manuel whispered to Jose and
explained what he was to do, along with Antonio.  Jose nodded
slowly, memorizing every word of Manuel's instructions.  Then he
slipped quietly down the stairs, for such a big man.
     Flitting around the room, Jose gave every girl her orders.
They began getting demanding with the American who was slowly
working his way toward the stairs.  He had his foot on the bottom
step when Jose materialized in front of him and slowly shook his
head.
     The American tried to argue with Jose.  But before he got
anywhere, the big Mexican had him by the collar and was hustling
him out of the building.
     Manuel sighed and turned back to the corridor.  Jose had his
orders.  He wouldn't be bothered by the Americano any more.



                            Chapter 17

     Alex reeled across the curb, slamming into the side of an old
abandoned car.
     He caught himself and crouched to defend himself against the
huge doorman, but there was no need.  He had re-entered the
building with a backward look.
     Tugging at his jacket to straighten it, Alex sighed.  There
wasn't a cab in sight.  He'd have to walk into town.
     The suspicion that he was being followed began with vague
noises in the darkness behind him.  He would see no one, yet the
feeling persisted.
     Climbing a steep street, he was suddenly boxed in by two men.
One was heavy, squat, powerful.  He reminded Alex of the doorman
at the Casa de Los Angeles.  His companion was short and skinny,
dressed in a loud check suit.  He was the dangerous one.
     It was almost over so fast, Alex nearly missed the whole
scene.  The heavy-set man moved forward, grabbed him by one arm
and flipped him to the ground.  At the same time the skinny man
lunged in and his knife seared along Alex's ribs like a red-hot
razor blade.
     Quickly the squat man knocked the little man's knife arm up
and yelled, "No muerte, Antonio!"
     The little man's ferrety eyes glared and he wavered, half-
determined to charge again, this time with his big companion as
his target.
     It wasn't much, but it was a chance.  Alex rolled free and
then kept rolling and sliding down the steep street as fast as he
could in a shower of stones and loose dirt.
     The little man was first after him.  His pointed Italian
shoes plowed paths in the loose trash as he literally skiied down
the slope on his heels.  He held the knife ready and when he was
close enough, set his feet and lunged.
     Alex rolled away.  This was no game.  The little man was
playing for keeps
     He followed Alex relentlessly, holding his knife ready for
the taste of blood.
     Alex scuttled along on his back trying to get away, but the
killer had him cornered and was closing in for the finish.  He
held his knife low, blade up.  When he lunged, he came in low
trying to make a horizontal stab into Alex's body.
     Rolling again, Alex evaded the knife for the second time.
But just barely.
     He was breathing hard and the stones on the street bit into
him as he slid along on his back.
     Suddenly, one hand encountered a round object that turned
under pressure.  A rock!  Perhaps half as big as his head.  He
caught it in his hand, mothered it and scuttled away from the
little man, again.
     Behind Antonio, the big man was coming to his aid, huffing
and pulling on the raw slope.
     It was now or never, Alex told himself grimly.  And if he
waited too much longer it was going to be never.
     His body was taut in preparation.  His will was concentrating
on preparing for Antonio's next charge.
     The little man was eager, now.  He was hurrying.  He could
hear his larger companion rapidly shortening the distance between
them threatening to end the game before he tasted the blood he
sought, needed.
     He dove forward, his knife-blade eager for the salty taste of
gringo blood dripping from it.
     Time seemed to stand still for Alex.  The little Mexican
paused, then plunged forward in what seemed like slow motion to
Alex.
     He was sure he was going to get away.  So sure!  And the
knife tore into his side leaving a trail of pain.
     It was only reflexes, reflexes and determination that drove
his hand up and out, ramming that rock into the side of Antonio's
head with all the force left in him.
     Blood splattered in thin drops.  The knifeman shuddered and
then collapsed as if the strings holding him up were cut.  As he
fell he dragged the knife out of Alex.
     Alex noticed with a passing surprise that there was almost no
pain.  Not enough to stop or hinder him, anyway.
     Alex stood, shakily.  And the squat man seized him around the
chest and hugged him to him, squeezing the air and life out of his
lungs.
     Wiggling desperately, Alex wrenched free of the squeezing
arms and dropped to the ground next to the still figure of
Antonio.  His squat attacker paused for a moment, sensing the
kill.  Then he dove for Alex, spreading his body out in a cloak to
catch and trap his body.
     His look of anticipation changed to horror at the last
moment, as he descended on Alex, whose hands held the silvery
blade erect to catch the massive weight.
     He screamed long and horribly as the cold steel rammed into
his belly.  In his throes of agony, he reared up off of Alex and
plunged backward atop Antonio.  He clawed at his soft belly until
the knife pulled out.
     And then he knelt, staring stupidly as a bright red fountain
of blood poured from his belly over Antonio's body.  He wailed,
like a hurt child, tears streaming from his eyes.
     Alex wanted to shut the sound out the sound but he couldn't.
He watched as the big man swayed and keened his death song before
slowly folding up and falling across Antonio.
     Alex crept close.  The big man's eyes stared in abject
terror, unseeingly.
     There was no movement from Antonio either.  Gingerly, Alex
felt for a pulse beat, but there was none.
     As distasteful as it seemed, Alex had to take the knife and
press it into the little man's hands and bend the still-warm
fingers around the blood-smeared handle.
     He did the same with the rock, pressing it into the big man's
hand, then letting it drop free and roll a few inches away,
leaving its track in the blood-soaked ground.
     Alex groaned and stood.  He had been stabbed.  But how bad he
couldn't tell.  At least he was still able to walk.
     Dragging his feet, he turned away from the two bodies and
headed for his hotel room and the chance to pull himself together.
     The few blocks seemed like miles.  He was gasping with pain
as he reached the door to the lobby.  Taking a deep breath, he
shoved his way inside and stumbled across the lobby, doing his
best to look like an ordinary drunk coming home.     Leaning on
the counter to get his key, he almost fainted.  It was fortunate
that the desk clerk didn't give him more than a casual glance and
mumbled "Mr. Benson," before handing him his key.  The clerk went
back to perusing his copy of "Playboy."
     Alex stepped away from the counter and froze in horror.  A
thin drip of blood speckled the top where he had leaned.
     "Buenos noches," he said and wiped his sleeve across the edge
of the counter.
     "Buenos noches."  The clerk didn't even raise his head.  He
had better things to do than look at drunken gringos.  Just then
he was busily spelling the English words to "Miss December" in the
gatefold.  His mouth watered over the photograph.
     Alex, in the meanwhile limped to his room where he used his
sliced open shirt as a bandage to hold in the blood.  Not thinking
clearly, he collapsed on the bathroom floor, falling into a shock
induced sleep.



                            Chapter 18

     Fran paced the length of the tiny room half a dozen times
after Manuel left.  Clenching her fists tightly had left her
knuckles a flat white color.  She was chewing on her lip fiercely.
     "Fran," Renee whispered.  "Untie me."
     The blonde girl paused in her pacing.  "When's he coming
back, Renee?" she asked tearfully.
     "I don't know.  Hurry and untie me and maybe we can get out
of here."
     Instead of complying, Fran sat down next to Renee and laid
her head on the younger girl's soft breast.  "Honey," she
whispered, "I've got to have my shot or I'll go crazy."
     "Fran!  Let me loose and we'll get out of here and find
some."
     For a second Fran debated what Renee said.  Her hand
stretched out toward the cord that tied Renee's wrists, and then
she pulled it back and said, "No!"
     "You've got to!"
     "No!  And you can't make me, Renee."  Gently, she fondled
Renee's pert tit, watching the nipple sprout into full bloom only
inches from her face.  "You just want to get us back over there,"
she gestured in a manner that indicated "there" was over the
border somewhere and a dirty word at the same time.
     "Please, Fran!"
     "You don't understand, Renee.  I can't live without it
anymore.  How will I live over there?  They won't let me have it."
     "But I need it too, baby," Renee soothed.  "I wouldn't do
anything that would stop me from getting it too, would I now?"
     "No.  I guess not."  Fran's cool fingers caught at the
carmine nubbin of Renee's nipple and teased it into reaching for
new heights.  Renee giggled.
     "Stop that," she said.  "It tickles."
     "Good!"  Fran did it again.  And then while Renee was still
squirming, bent over a little farther and kissed her eloquent
nipple.
     Renee gasped, and all of a sudden her firm resolve was
melting away.  The anxiety she felt, the joy in the opportunity to
escape were gone.  All she felt was pure lust to have her body
handled and hurt and satiated.
     She arched against Fran's mouth.
     "Do you still want me to stop, honey?"
     "God, no!" Renee gasped out.  "Keep doing it.  Please keep
doing it!"
     Fran's hot lips descended on Renee's breasts again and the
younger girl couldn't believe the intensity of feeling she was
having.  She'd never even looked at a woman with this in mind.
     Fran's lips started to trace a path down Renee's belly.  They
stirred hotly through her hair.  Then they were wet and slobbery
on her burning pee hole.
     "Oh!" she screamed.  "Do it, Fran!  Do it!"
     But Fran wasn't about to be rushed.  She was savoring the
moment as much as Renee.  Slowly, with painstaking care, she ran
her tongue around the inside of the dark-haired girl's cunt lips.
     The sensation sent Renee wild.  It was so light and delicate,
yet so rough and exciting.  Renee squealed and heaved her ass in
the air.
     "Do it, Fran," she screamed.  "Do it.  Tongue fuck me, baby.
I can't stand for you not to."  She strained her legs further
apart so the lips pouted out further than ever.
     Then Fran glued her mouth to the sopping, sloppy cunt and
buried her tongue in the hot meat.
     It drove Renee crazy.  Her body tried to get away from the
probing, seeking tongue.  But it couldn't, and Renee was so glad
she could have died.
     "Oh, baby!  That's it!" she screamed as she felt her cream
flowing and Fran's tongue lapping it up out of her tight hole.
She forgot about the ache in her back, the strain on her trembling
legs.  She forgot how much she needed the heroin that Manuel held
out to them as a bribe.  In that one second she was free of
everything except her own lust.
     She was a kite blowing higher and higher in the wind. Her
body was a flame.
     Fran's tongue was a snake delving deeper and deeper into her
until she couldn't stand any more of it.
     She was arched against the ropes, Fran nuzzling her sloppy
swat, when Manuel came back into the room.  There were two men
with him dressed in somber suits speaking Spanish in a strange
accent Renee had never heard before.
     They poked and prodded Renee's body and one of them stuck his
finger in her slit and twisted it around starting her hips
heaving, her mouth lolling open.
     "Go on," Manuel said generously.  "Try her out."
     The taller of the two looked her smooth body over and licked
his lips.  Finally, he nodded.  He unzipped his pants and stood
between Renee's arched legs, holding his stump in his hand.  It
was thick and short, but making up more in width than it lost in
length.
     Renee watched, horrified, as he lined the huge thing up with
her slit.  "No," she protested weakly.  "No!"
     But none of the three men paid any attention to her.
     The one with his prick standing stiffly in his hand rubbed it
against her gapping vagina, spreading her cream over it before
stepping back and literally running forward right into her,
driving his peg home with one tremendous hammer blow.
     For a moment, Renee wavered on the edge of unconsciousness,
the pain was so intense.  Then he was thumping into her and she
was groaning as his misshapen prick spread her apart, tearing her
open.
     When he slammed into her, the fury of his attack jolted
through Renee's whole body and battered her delicate lips.  It
hurt so much she wasn't sure whether she was happy or unhappy when
he plunged into her for the last time with a rush that tore the
muscles in her passage and bruised her flesh.  She groaned and
fainted as his hot flood filled her cup to the brim.
     The sensation had been so overpowering that she was numb for
long seconds afterward.
     The other strange man stepped forward and he examined her
torn and bleeding cunt with his fingers while she writhed and
cried out as he did it.
     Then he moved against her.
     Renee was ready for a new assault.  Nothing could be as bad
as the one she had just gone through.  She was more than ready, in
fact.  The violence of the attack had left her body hungry for
more.
     So she only groaned contentedly when the second man lifted
her butt with his hands to bring her hole into line with his rod.
     And then she was sinking down, down, down as if deep into a
feather bed.  And she started screaming and thrashing as she felt
his rod begin to demand admission.
     He wasn't driving into her sore and tender cunt.  He was
slowly lowering her to impale her from her ass hole.  She sobbed
bitterly as his swollen rod pushed into the tight back entrance.
She had never had it done to her before.
     His prick pounding into virgin flesh ripped and tore her
open.  She pulled her legs up, trying to get away.  But that only
opened her ass more and put more weight on it to drive his prick
inexorably deeper.
     Then he was humping her, flinging his weight into her while
she struggled to catch his rhythm as her body was caught up in the
sensation of pleasure that was coming out of the hot pain in her
ass.  He held her legs up, presenting her ass in perfect form to
drive his rod in with furious hammer blows.
     "Give it to me!" she was begging with realizing she was
saying anything.  And then his hot cum was smashing brutally
through her bowels making her whole body convulse in response.
     "More," she said weakly, as he backed off.  In her delirium
all she really wanted was for one of the men to get back on and
ride her to control her.  All she was aware of was the hot fire of
her body demanding that she be satiated.
     As his prick pulled out of her tender ass, he patted her
thigh gently and said, "We'll take them," in his oddly accented
Spanish.
     Dimly, Renee heard Fran screaming in the distance with a high
note of ecstasy quivering in her voice.  The thick prick was
slugging his penis into her slit and the blonde girl was insane
with it, writhing on the floor and tearing at him.
     Talking together, as if nothing were happening, Manuel and
the other man stood by the door smoking.  "They are all ready to
go?" the man said, softly.
     Manuel shrugged.  "I haven't put them downstairs yet, to test
my control."
     "Bueno!  When will you be doing that?"
     "Maniana, in the evening.  Is that soon enough for you?"
     "Perfect!  I will have the merchandise then, if all goes
well.  Say, we will come and watch.  About eight.?"
     "Eight is fine."
     "There will be no trouble?"
     "Trouble, hombre!"  Manuel's tone was injured.  "Have I ever
failed you in the past?"
     The stranger shrugged.  "We will have a lot of heroin with
us.  Enough for a long jail sentence if we are caught."
     "Why worry?  What can happen?"
     "Nothing, I suppose."
     "Of course not."  Manuel slapped him on the back.  "Look,
your friend is almost done with Fran.  Why don' you ...?"
     "Porque, no?" the stranger said.  "Porque, no?"



                            Chapter 19

     Life was one big throb.  Alex awoke on the cold floor of the
bathroom with his head beating a tattoo all its own.
     He stood up stiffly, feeling twinges of pain ranging through
his body.
     Delicately, he unwound the blood-clotted shirt from his body,
wincing as the scabs tore away from his body.  He finished
stripping and stepped into the shower.
     For long moments he stood under the warm water as it washed
the dried blood off his flesh.  After a while he looked down where
the stinging of the water let him know he had been cut.
     It wasn't as bad as he had thought.  There was a long, red
streak of puckered flesh on his belly, but not deep enough to do
more than be uncomfortable.  And there was a second short, raw
wound that set him on fire when he touched it.
     His side ached dully as his fingers traced the outline of
puffed flesh.  The knife had cut just under the skin.  If it
didn't get infected there would be no need to see a doctor, which
was a damned good thing.
     Somehow, he didn't think there was any profit to be had in
bringing up the matter of the two lead Mexicans he'd left behind
him in the street.
     He walked into the bedroom and lay down, still naked.  Over
and over what he had gone through passed through his mind.  He
felt each step of the unfurling drama---the fear, the surge of
strength.  All of it.  Killers were supposed to feel remorse, he
thought, amazed, but he felt nothing but strength and power.

                           *    *    *

     It was dark when he awakened again.  The swelling was down on
his side and he felt more clear-headed than he had the last time
he was conscious.
     Dressing awkwardly, trying to avoid bumping the painful
wounds, Alex tried to think of what he was going to---how he was
going to do it.
     The police were out.  He shuddered to think of the grilling
they would give him over two bodies found lying in a dusty Tijuana
street.
     No!  Whatever was going to have to be done, it would have to
be done by him.
     On the way out, the clerk looked at him and, for a moment,
Alex's heart stopped beating.  Was he going to say something about
how he stumbled in drunk and bleeding, covered with the blood of
two men later found dead?
     "Your key, senor?" the clerk asked.
     "Oh, si, si!"  Alex dug the room key out of his pocket and
handed it to the clerk who gravely hung it on a nail in the wall
aligned with the rest of the hotel's keys.
     "Buenos noches, senor."
     "Buenos noches."
     Alex stepped into the street and hailed a cab.  "Case de Los
Angeles," he told the driver.



                            Chapter 20

     The deaths of Jose and Antonio had driven Manuel into a
frenzy.  They were the arms and legs that made his name feared
throughout Tijuana, not to be easily replaced.
     According to the periodicos, the two had killed each other in
a senseless fight.  True, they hadn't any fondness for each other,
but there was no reason for them to fight.
     Of course, and that was one of the reasons Manuel was chewing
his fingernails to the quick in his upstairs room, if the police
knew about that Americano they would think of another possibility.
     But Jose and Antonio were not paragons of virtue.  And the
police would be quick to close the books on the matter, happy to
stamp the word muerte across their files.
     If it were not for other things to be considered, he, Manuel
Ramos, would finish this thing personally.  Only ... and that only
was what glued Manuel to his chair ... only right now was not the
time for a flea to move wrong.  With two kidnapped American women
upstairs and the two Uruguayans with their suitcase full of
merchandise in the other room, police interference was not
desirable.
     Manuel shrugged into his charro jacket and looked at himself
critically in the mirror, admiring his clean profile and classical
Roman nose.  It had done very well for him in the past---
captivating the ladies.
     He smiled and the image in the glass smiled back, showing
lustrous white teeth.  It was his fortune, really.  It was
something nobody could take away from him.
     Stepping into the other room he told the two men to come with
him and they could watch the demonstration.  Manuel's skin
prickled slightly over that.  The women were not quite ready, but
he couldn't take any more time, because of the low state of his
finances.  So he must take a chance on them.  But not without
precautions!  Those he had taken.  Si!

                           *    *    *

     Alex spent twenty minutes pacing around the building, keeping
well to the shadows and out of sight.  The second time around he
returned to the back window which was open a fraction to let in
the cool, night air.
     At first it wouldn't budge.  He heaved futilely, straining
his arm muscles trying to slide the warped wood up.  In the
darkness around him he heard the sound of approaching footsteps.
There was no place to hide, so he simply froze, hoping against
fate that it was a casual stroller.
     The sound stopped and the walker was still out of sight.
Alex's hands were sweating as he waited, counting the seconds off.
Then there was the patter of a steady stream of water striking the
dusty ground, a grunt half way between an "ah" of relief and a
belch, then the sound of a zipper closing.
     Moments later the footsteps went away.
     Alex attacked the window again.  This time the frame gave way
and slid part way up, but once again it stopped and wouldn't
budge, no matter how much he cursed its ancestry.  He measured the
gap ruefully with his eye, deciding that maybe he could make it
through.
     Swinging his legs through first he sat on the sill, muttered
a silent prayer that he wouldn't land on an occupied bed, and made
the plunge.
     The room was pitch black, but empty.  Alex tried to close the
window, but once again it resisted his most strenuous efforts and
he decided to leave things as they were, rather than risk any
further delay.
     The door was unlocked and he stepped into the corridor and
within seconds had found his way to the central room.
     It was crowded tonight.  The normal dirty movies were going
full swing and the place seemed to be packed with American
sailors.
     Alex eyed the stairs.  He was sure what he was after was up
there.  Last time, no one had gone up the stairway.  And again,
tonight, the steps remained barren of traffic.  Furtively, he
started edging his way toward the stairs.  He'd wait until
something caught everyone's attention on the screen and it should
give him the few seconds he needed.
     He had almost reached his goal when he looked up, and his
heart almost stopped.  Two women and a man were on the stairs
blocking his way up.  If he didn't move away immediately, they
were going to bump into him.  It would mean giving up that
precious time he had used up already.
     As he moved he suddenly realized he was giving up nothing.
     The dark haired girl turned her head and Alex stopped
breathing for a moment.  His gamble had paid off.  There was no
question, it was Renee!
     As they came down the stairs he guessed that the other girl
was Fran.  She was blonde, but Alex didn't remember her well
enough to be positive of her identity.
     At the foot of the stairs the man, a stranger to Alex, gave
the two women a brief talking to.  They nodded their heads slowly.
And then he left them to merge into the crowd in the room.
     The two women walked almost hesitantly into the hot, packed
mass of men, breathing in their masculine odor and trembling
before the massed virility they represented.
     Almost immediately, a man had pulled Fran down to his lap and
was fondling her.  She submitted to it in an almost neutral
fashion, quivering slightly as his hand roved under her skirt.
     And then Alex stuck his hand out and caught Renee's arm and
turned her toward him.

                           *    *    *

     Renee and Fran had both been coached by Manuel about what
they were going to do.  No matter what it looked like down there,
they should know that he controlled the situation, that there was
no escape.
     They walked down the stairs with the doorman and he hissed at
them to do as they were ordered, before melting into the crowd.
     When the man took Fran, Renee shuddered, realizing it was her
turn next and that in seconds she would be selling her body to
prove her docility so that Manuel could sell her body forever.
And there was no escape.
     The hand that grabbed her arm stopped her heart for a nervous
second.  And then it was beating just a little faster than normal
as she turned to face Manuel's counterfeit customer.
     Renee gasped and her heart almost did stop.  It was Alex.
The man she had trusted.  The one she worried about because
somehow she had gotten him in this mess.  Then she bite her lip,
concealing her rage and horror.
     Alex pulled her to him and kissed her.  "Look," he said, "is
there someplace we can talk?"
     She turned and led him back to the room that was waiting.
The room that she knew Manuel and his friends were sitting over,
looking into with strategically drilled peep holes.  And all she
knew was that she wanted to die in the face of this last betrayal!
Salt tears ran down her cheeks, and she didn't see the bewildered
Mexican stand up behind them, wondering what he was going to do
now that this gringo had taken the girl he was supposed to have.



                            Chapter 21

     When the door swung open, Manuel had to stifle a scream of
rage.  The man who followed Renee in was not Chico, who looked so
much like a gringo they did not even glance at him twice at the
border, it was that Americano.  The one Jose and Antonio were to
have taken care of last night.
     Manuel kept his eye glued to the peephole, no longer
concerned about Fran, who was with Pepito, a reliable man.  Inside
he was fuming.  Where was that cabron Chico?

                           *    *    *

     Renee followed Alex into the room and closed and bolted the
door after them.
     Wordlessly, she started peeling her clothes off, running her
hands over her body in a constant gesture of enticement.
     I will not help him, she thought bitterly.  I would have
trusted him and he betrayed me.  She might have cried a few days
ago, but now her face was molded into a mask that refused to give
way.  Thanks to Manuel, she thought.
     She tossed her bra on the table, and then she was swept up
into Alex's arms.  "Wait!"  She tried to writhe away.  "I'm not
undressed yet."  She didn't want to, but she  trembled in the warm
shelter of his arms, at the comforting scent of his body.
     "Renee!  It is you, isn't it?"
     She jerked free and turned her back to him.  "Get undressed,"
she said.  Quickly, she worked her skirt over her hips. Her
panties followed with the gentle sign of silk wisping over nylon.
Sitting down, she rolled her stockings down her legs.  Then she
was ready.
     Alex stood watching her.  A stupid, perplexed expression on
his face.
     "Get undressed," she hissed.  "That's what you're here for,
isn't it?"
     Standing, Renee began to undo his shirt.  Her hands crept to
his belt, unfastened the top button of his trousers, gently ran
the zipper down.
     She pressed her body against his and wiggled until she felt
his cock rising, jabbing against her thigh.  It was distant.
Although she was conscious of it happening, it roused no feeling
in her.  She knew why she was doing this.
     Not for Alex.  Or Manuel.  But because of what Manuel
promised to do to her and Fran if she failed.  Renee shivered.  He
had the girl brought up so they could see---the girl with the nose
split with a knife so that it spread across her face, the crushed
cheekbones that made her look dead and old and used.  The scars on
her deflated breasts!
     That, Manuel said, was what would happen to them.  He
promised.  On his mother's name he promised.
     Of course, he said, they would be worth very little to him
then, and he would sell them to a less gentle taskmaster who
didn't worry about looks because the things he wanted done were so
ugly nobody wanted to look anyway.
     Manuel had leered at them, and Renee believed.  There was
never any doubt in her mind that he meant what he said.
     Pressing against Alex, she tried to stir his passion with her
hand, afraid again, after she promised herself she wouldn't be.
     Flopping back on the bed, she pulled Alex after her so he lay
between her sprawled legs.  That should be enough, she thought,
staring up at the green ceiling where she knew Manuel would be
watching.
     Alex's body was fevered on hers.  His heat warmed her and she
felt his fingers tentatively groping for her slit.  Then he had
her and she signed in relief that the uncertainty was gone.
     His fingers forced themselves inside her roughly, straining
the lips of her cunt until she had to move to try to get away from
them.  Her hand darted down and caught his prick and started to
stroke it and cup his hairy balls.
     What was she doing?  It was so automatic that Renee felt
sick.  Worse, the desire was rising in her against her will to be
used by him.  As Manuel and those two strangers had used her.
     She guided his prick into her, writhing in ecstasy as it
pushed her cunt open, the long thickness of it sliding sensuously
into her cunt.  She wanted to faint when she finally felt the head
nestled deep inside of her.  Deep inside her soft, white belly.
     She looked down at their two bodies joined together.  It
always amazed her that there was never any sign of that great hunk
of meat stirring up a volcano in her body.
     Both her hands gripped his body convulsively.  "Fuck me!" she
whispered.  "Please, Alex!  Fuck me to death!"
     Tenderly his lips found hers.  Then his prick pulled out and
slammed back in one tremendous jolt.  Renee moaned.
Automatically, her legs curled around his hips driving her cunt
against him even harder.
     Keep looking, you bastards! she thought as she stared at the
ceiling while Alex rammed into her with a rhythm that made her
breath come in explosive "Ohs" that got louder and louder.  Her
hole was a fire.  Like fire, it spread to engulf her entire body,
to set the veins on fire.
     Every inch of her was catching Alex's pulsating prick as it
hammered into her tender lips.  She urged him to renewed fury with
her hands and legs, delighting in the feel of his body between her
soft thighs.  Faster and faster he plunged his spike into her.
     She was being nailed to the bed.  It was cutting through her
and she could never get off and didn't care.  They were both
frantic with lust.  Renee felt her bottom turning into a mass of
bruises as Alex's hard body banged her with stinging blows.  But
she loved it!  She wanted it to go on forever.
     Her mind was a beautiful ball of shimmering flame that
reached to her cunt and his cock was a huge rod of ice driving
into the heart and steaming and sizzling.
     She arched her hack, crying out as he pounded into her,
holding as much of him inside her as she could while her runt
closed down in a rigid clamp around his pole.  Inside her she
shuddered as he jolted to a sudden stop inside her body.  The
seconds lengthened.  His mushroom headed prick swelled until she
was crying out with the fullness.  Then she grew faint as it
smashed at the tender walls of her hole with a burning, searing
liquid that jolted her again and again and again in quick
succession.  She didn't know it, but she was screaming her
wordless pleasure.
     Alex held her tight and she kissed him tenderly.  Lovingly.
She loved him.  She knew it as surely as she knew that their fates
were already sealed.  Whatever had to be done now, she had to do
for him.
     His cock pulled out of her, still half-hard.  She shuddered
as it passed her aching cunt lips.
     "Baby!" he groaned in her ear.  "Why did you do that?  We've
got to get out of here!"
     For a moment Renee didn't understand what he was saying.
"What do you mean?" she asked stupidly.  "Aren't you working for
Manuel?"
     Sitting back, he stared at her in disbelief.  Cautiously he
touched his side and belly and for the first time she noticed the
fresh scabs on his body, broken now in a few places and bleeding
slightly.  "Manuel?  Hell.  He had me cut up last night when I was
here searching for you."
     Renee looked up, at the peepholes, suddenly sick to her
stomach.  "Alex!  They're watching everything.  We've got to get
out of here!"
     Following her gaze, Alex noticed the peepholes for the first
time.  And the movement behind them.  Whipping his legs over the
edge of the bed he yanked his pants and shoes on, pulled on a
shirt without buttoning it.
     Renee was struggling with her clothes, but Alex growled,
"Come on!"  He snatched the blanket from the bed and threw it
around her shoulders and she clutched some fragments of her
clothes to her body.  Then he had the door open, and she was
following him into chaos---bewildered but willing to follow him
anywhere.



                            Chapter 22

     The tall Uruguayan looked up from the peephole, a puzzled
expression on his face.  "Que pasa, Ramos?" he asked.
     Manuel was mute with rage.  He had to stop Renee and that
Americano from getting away.  Fortunately Manolito spoke almost no
English.  If he could stall him ...
     "Pepe," the Uruguayan said suddenly, making up his mind.
"Vamanos!  We go!"
     Without a word, his partner sprang up and grabbed the ever-
present suitcase.  "Adios," Manolito said tight-lipped to Manuel.
     They were almost to the door before Manuel could make up his
mind.  They couldn't leave him like this.  He was spread too thin.
He needed money, and now.  If the police became involved there
would be payments.  Maybe he would even have to leave the country.
     "No!" he snapped.  "Leave it," he nodded at the suitcase,
"and take the two women."
     Curtly, Manolito said, "No!"
     They were going out and there was nothing else Manuel could
do.  His hand came out of his pocket holding a long piece of
ebony.  His thumb moved slightly, there was a sharp snick of sound
and six inches of tempered steel suddenly shone wickedly from
Manuel's hand.
     In two steps he was behind the tall Uraguayan.  The knife
flashed briefly in the dim light and Manolito stiffened, clawing
at his back with his mouth gaping open in a voiceless scream.
     Pepe turned, his face slowly registering shock at the sudden
attack.  "NO!" he cried.  He threw his hands up in front of his
face and Manuel lunged savagely, burying the knife to the hilt in
his soft belly.  Pepe put his hands to his stomach, dropping the
suitcase.  Then he lifted them before his face, awed at the
crimson stain that bathed them.
     Manuel jerked the knife out.  A gout of blood hissed after
it, splattering Manuel's clothes and face.
     For a moment it seemed Pepe was going to say something as he
stared into Manuel's eyes.  Before he could get it out, however,
his legs crumpled and he pitched face forward on the floor.
     Manuel was trembling.  He hadn't wanted to do it.  The fools.
Didn't they realize ...?  He shook his head and picked up the
suitcase.  Moving briskly he headed for the stairs, not quite
running.

                           *    *    *

     In the hallway, Alex was dragging Renee along behind him with
one hand and using the other to pound on doors and scream, "Raid!
Raid!"  He hoped these sailors didn't know prostitution was legal
in Mexico.  It was the only hope they had.
     Doors were popping open and half-dressed Americans began
streaming out with screaming prostitutes dragging at them,
confused, but determined to get their money before all else.
     Through the milting crowd Alex could see the burly doorman
working his way toward them.  The confusion helped, but it wasn't
enough.  He dragged Renee deeper into the crowd and hauled her
down on the sofa, temporarily out of sight.
     Somewhere across the room a deep voice with a heavy Mexican
accent was bellowing for calm.  Subtly the mood of the crowd
changed from panic to curiosity.  Alex felt it, knew what it
meant.
     His fingers shook as he groped in his pocket until he found
his cigarette lighter.  Nobody was paying any attention to him.
They were all looking in the direction the voice apparently was
coming from.
     Alex coaxed the flame and held it to the fringes of the
material that covered the couch.  At first it refused to burn.
Then a brown spot appeared on one pink flower.  Another.  A tiny
tongue of flame licked up.  Alex started another spot and another.
Then, grabbing Renee's hand, he dragged her after him to an
overstuffed chair and repeated the maneuver.
     Within seconds the smell of burning cotton dominated the
room.  Someone screamed, "Fire!"  This time there was no
hesitation.  The mob was an animal with one motivation.  Running
over everything in its way, it plunged for the door.
     The doorman was between them and the exit and, as Alex and
Renee moved with the crowd, he eased along blocking their escape
route.
     Suddenly the heat of the couch reached a critical temperature
and the whole thing burst into a crackling ball of flame. Those in
back of the mob felt the heat.  It was enough.  With a wild scream
they surged forward.
     Alex and Renee started to follow and at that monument Manuel
lurched down the stairs, suitcase in one hand, bloody knife in the
other.
     Manuel stopped, suddenly, realizing his luck.  The
opportunity was his to silence these witnesses against him.
Silence the witness.  The woman was still worth something.
     Licking his lips, he advanced on the American keeping the
knife in a constant motion to the left.  Making a deadly little
circle of steel in the air that was impossible to parry at the
last moment when he finally lunged.
     Manuel was an experienced knife fighter.  The steel felt good
in his hand.  Of course, the suitcase hampered him but he wasn't
going to put it down.
     Carefully he advanced on Alex while Renee stood back,
paralyzed by fright.
     Alex searched his memory for remnants of his army training in
unarmed combat.  But that was a long time ago.
     Manuel lunged and he leaped back, well clear of the knife,
but Alex realized he was being backed into a corner.  Desperately
he looked for a way around the menacing knife, a way to stay
clear.  But Manuel was to wily, too smooth for that.
     He lunged again and Alex felt something slice sharply across
his arm.  It stung when he pulled away a second too late.
     "Manuel!"
     Fran burst into the room screaming for the Mexican.  She ran
up to him oblivious of Alex and Renee.  Her face was contorted
with agony.
     "Manuel," she cried.  "Give me a shot, please, Manuel!"
     The Mexican tried to shove her away with the suitcase as he
advanced on Alex.  But Fran slipped past it to grab at him.
     He tried to shake free and started to turn, his knife poised
to stab the frantic blonde, only Alex jumped out at him Manuel
swiveled to meet the new challenge.
     Fran was tearing at his pockets.  Cigarettes and coins
scattered on the floor around his feet.  He tried to shake her
loose again.
     She cried out in triumph, holding the needle and the bottle.
Trembling, the girl shoved the sharp tip into the membrane-covered
bottle opening, drawing hack on the plunger until the hypodermic
was full of a clear, colorless fluid.
     Renee had moved up beside her.
     Snatching the needle out of Fran's hands, she buried the
point in Manuel's back and shoved the plunger an the way home in
one smooth movement.
     Manuel felt the sharp prick of the needle, not really aware
of what it was that jolted him.  The tip missed a vein, but slowly
a numbness started spreading through his back.  Euphoria overtook
his muscles and left them slack and nerveless.
     His knife began to weigh a ton, and gradually his hand sank
lower and lower.
     The gringo was moving away from him, in slow-motion, stepping
around him.  Desperately Manuel lunged.  Rut the silver blade,
alive now with the reflection of the roaring flames, went around
the Americano.  Manuel tried to saw at him, unsteadily, but his
lunge carried him against the burning mush and wall.
     He stared, fascinated, as the bright yellow flame crawled up
the arm of his coat and leaped playfully at his face.  He turned
his head.  The Americano was getting away.
     Ignoring the lively little tonguelets that seemed to multiply
by the dozens on his clothes, Manuel staggered after the Americano
and the two women.  He still dragged the suitcase, an inferno of
red and yellow flame now.
     His hand, plunged inside the flame to hold the handle, was
wonderfully cool.  Dully, Manuel wondered about that.  It was one
of those miracles his mother told him about.  Si!  That was it.  A
miracle in the house of angles.

                           *    *    *

     Alex, dragging the two women out, hardly making a stir in the
crowd that had gathered to watch the fire.
     They were too busy watching something else.  A man stumbled
out after them, engulfed in flame.  His hair was a torch, flames
waved from his clothes.  One hand held a suitcase that was nothing
more than a ball of flame and the other held the silver glitter of
a knife.  Someone moaned, "My God!"
     He stumbled and fell.  Two sailors ran toward him in the
sudden hush.  One kicked the suitcase away from the blackened,
shriveled claw that had once been a hand.  The other threw dirt
over the purple blistered flesh and ash-black cloth.
     Another sailor, wearing the insignia of a hospital corpsman,
knelt by the fallen Mexican's side.
     "Is he alive?" someone asked.
     The corpsman nodded.  "I don't see how.  But he's alive.  The
shock alone ..."
     In the distance the wail of ambulances and the clang of the
fire-bell could be heard approaching.
     Renee looked at Manuel's seared face, the hand that was
burned meat, and turned away in horror, burying her face against
Alex's shoulder.
     Even Fran, suffering withdrawal, seemed sobered by the sight.
     Alex knew the moment wouldn't last.  Hurriedly, he bundled
the girls away, before the police showed up and started asking
questions.

                           *    *    *

     After he got them dressed in his hotel room, there was only
one detour before they reached the border.
     They stopped the cab driver at a sleazy drug store and Alex
went in and negotiated with the clerk for what seemed hours.  When
he came out he carefully divided the small box of capsules into
two portions and gave each of the women one pile.
     He helped them swallow the pills, despite their trembling
hands, and prayed that he wasn't giving them a fatal dosage.  It
wasn't heroin by a long shot.  But he hoped the substitute would
hold them together until they got through customs.



                            Chapter 23

     The following days were the most difficult.  Alex wanted to
put the women in the hospital, but Renee wouldn't allow it.
     Deathly pale, she had him take the two of them high into the
mountains where they rented a lonely mountain cabin.  And then she
had him take the distributor rotor out of the car and hide it.
     The first day was bad.  Fran and Renee both turned gray.
Their skin was damp, clammy.  Alex worried they were going to die,
but Renee begged him to hang on.
     "I've got to do something, Renee!"  He ground his knuckles
into the wood frame of the bed.  "I can't stand to see you like
this."
     Renee stared up at the open rafters of the cabin.  A few feet
away she heard Fran's voice whimpering in agony.  Renee had told
Alex to tie Fran to the bed because she seemed crazed by her
longing for the heroin that she couldn't get anymore.
     We're all going crazy, Renee thought.  We've got to do
something or none of us will last.
     In her mind, Renee recreated the events of the last few day--
-days that seemed like years.  And the idea came to her.
     "Get a rope," she whispered hoarsely to Alex.
     He stared at her as if she were crazy.
     "Get it!"
     Blindly he followed her directions.
     Under her urging he tied one of her ankles tightly to the
heavy bed leg.  Then he threw one end of a long rope over an open
beam and tied it to her other ankle.
     "Pull it up!" she ordered.
     Alex hesitated.
     "Pull it up," she pleaded.  "For me, Alex.  For us.  You've
got to do it!"
     Straining he pulled, hauling one of her legs in the air.
When it was straight out from her body he stopped.
     "Keep pulling," she begged.
     Sweat was pouring down his face, but not from the exercise.
     She wouldn't let him stop until he was straining to pull her
legs from her sockets.  One was held to the floor and the other
pointing straight up in the air.  Perspiration beaded Renee's
forehead, but she ordered him to tie the rope.
     "Tear my clothes from me!"
     Dumbly Alex ripped her shortie pajamas off her body, leaving
her beautiful breasts to jiggle free in the early morning
sunlight.  He caught her panties in his fist and yanked, burying
the hems in her straining flesh, but they didn't tear.
     Renee groaned.  "Tear them off," she whispered when he
started to relieve the pressure.  Using both hands he yanked even
harder until a thread gave, and then another, and the blue silk
cloth disintegrated into ragged shreds of material.
     Renee's body vibrated like the string on a bow.
     "Now take your belt and beat me," she said.
     "Like this?"
     "Everything.  You've gut to do everything if you love me,
Alex!"
     He didn't argue after that.  Taking his belt he began softly
lashing her crotch.  Slowly the snap of leather against her soft
flesh took effect.  The sickness began to leave her.  "Harder,
Alex.  Harder!"
     The belt sang as it smashed against her exposed pussy.  Sweat
was pouring off Alex.  He began to pop it like a whip, cracking
the tip against Renee's exposed flesh.
     She whimpered when it caught the soft flesh of her thighs,
screamed in ecstasy when it seared against her cunt lips with a
wet, smacking sound.
     Her hips, restrained as they were by the ropes that pulled
her legs wide open, bobbed and twitched under the flailing belt.
     Renee stood it as long as she could, and then she sagged and
her torso slumped to the bed, her legs pulled as taut as ever.
     She came around with Alex holding her in his arms kissing
her, trying to revive her.  He hadn't let her down yet and she was
pleased.  There was so much more to do.
     "Aren't my tits beautiful, Alex?"  Gently she lifted her
breasts with her hands for his inspection.
     "I'll let you down," he said.
     "No!  Not yet, Alex.  Kiss my breasts."
     His soft lips encircled her nipples, tugged gently at them.
     "Bite me," she whispered.
     He began to nip them, causing them to grow longer, to project
out hard and pointed and savory until he was chewing and mauling
them unmercifully with his teeth and tongue.
     "Now my cunt, Alex!"
     He hurried to obey, kneeling with his face pressed against
her stretched open crotch.  His tongue was a poker searching her
insides out.  His teeth nipping and tearing at her tender flesh
were better than the biggest prick in creation.
     He was tearing at her, pulling her apart.
     "Now fuck me, Alex," she screamed.
     He stood and rammed his ready penis into her depths and
lurched against her, his body against hers threatening to tear her
apart again and again and again.
     He was pouring into her.  She felt his cum pouring down
inside her body to fill her to the top and she luxuriated in the
glorious, sloppy feel of his semen in her cunt.
     "Turn Fran loose."
     As Alex leaned over the bed to loosen the blonde girl she
sucked and licked his protruding prick free of his white cum.
     Then she was on her knees at Renee's feet lapping the cream
out of her special cup.  Renee shivered as Fran's savoring lips
engulfed her burning cunt.
     When she was clean, she had Alex loosen her feet and the two
of them climbed into bed with her.

                           *    *    *

     Renee was up before the others and she hummed happily to
herself as she worked cleaning the cabin up.  For days no one had
paid any attention to the state of the living accommodations: she
and Fran had been too sick, and Alex too worried.
     But now she felt a curious vigor surging through her and she
actually wanted to do it, to exercise her body doing the mundane
chores around the house.
     It was different when Fran woke.  The blonde girl was
shivering again.  Her skin was gray and goosebumps were lacing her
body.
     "You'll have to do it," she said to Alex.
     He looked pale, but he nodded.  Renee threw her arms around
him and kissed his mouth, feeling his lips warm under hers.
     "It won't be forever, darling.  Just for a little while!
Until we're better and the addiction wears off.  It isn't all that
bad, is it?"
     Alex looked at the floor.  "No, he said.  "I guess not."
     She helped him tie Fran up the way she'd been tied.  She
screamed and yelled under the belt, but the signs of withdrawal
left her and her skin returned to a rosy pink as the blood flowed
through it again.  Fran whimpered with satisfaction as Alex
plunged into her, filling her with nectar.  After she dozed off,
Renee was gentle with Alex, helping him to burn her ass with
cigarettes as she lay on top of him, impaling herself on his erect
cock.
     She wasn't completely satisfied but she got to sleep by
having him stroke her tender ass with his fingertips and rub her
sensitive crack until the pleasure feeling overcame the terrible
agony of drug withdrawal.



                            Chapter 24

     Renee stood looking down at Alex, listening to the wind howl
in cold fury outside the house.  It was a bitter, frightening
sound.  One that she had heard a lot of since returning to Eureka.
     It had been no joke getting Alex here.  All the way he had
been gray, ill.  His skin clammy with a cold sweat breaking out at
the hint of a harsh word.
     They would have helped him.  She and Fran were willing.  But
it was impossible on the crowded railroad car.  When they dragged
him off the train Renee had been scared for a moment that his
first real taste of Montana weather would kill him in his weakened
condition.
     As it was, she had to take time off from school to nurse him.
But they had been very understanding when she told the principal
she had to stay home to nurse her brother, who was apparently
suffering from physical exhaustion and the bitter cold weather.
     The principal, a transplanted Southern Californian himself,
sympathized with her and gave her a fatherly pat on the shoulder
sending her home.
     She sat beside Alex and carefully began to spoon the warm
soup into his mouth.  He swallowed gratefully and hastily lowered
his eyelids to hood his thoughts when he saw she was looking.
     Renee sat beside him and held his head, rocking quietly and
singing to him.  As soon as he slipped off into sleep, she roused
herself and began to get things ready for Fran's return.
     She didn't really understand how things had gone so wrong.
It had seemed so simple at first.  Alex was slowly but
successfully weaning them of their drug addiction and both of them
had come to love him with overpowering intensity.
     Until ... she looked at herself in the mirror as she stripped
her clothes off, noting the tiny wrinkles around her eyes, the
almost unnoticeable scars on her body.  Everything had been all
right until the two of them no longer needed the belt or the
lighted cigarettes to live from day to day.
     She remembered the terrible shock on that first day when she
told Alex they were ... cured!
     She'd celebrated by taking Alex to bed to make love to him.
And he couldn't.
     They'd noticed, she and Fran, that his virility had been
tapering off.  But they'd decided it was normal.  The two of them
had been making too great demands on his libido.
     And then he started getting sick.  And there was no mistaking
the symptoms.  He looked like she had when he first got her out of
Mexico.  Tenderly Renee stroked her breast, touching an almost
healed bruise gingerly and only wincing slightly.
     It was a psychosomatic transference.  Their ills to his body.
     They were scared, all right.  Because Alex really looked like
he was going to die.  And then Fran had the idea.  She'd gotten it
from some half-forgotten psychology class in abnormal behavior.
     She had stood in front of Alex's bed and spread her legs.
"Hit me!" she ordered him.
     He looked up at her weakly and she ordered him again to do
it.
     Alex had snapped his palm in a ringing blow against her
exposed cunt and Fran bounced in pain.  But she held her position,
letting Alex pound of her with his hands until she couldn't stand
anymore.
     After that, the two women switched off taking care of Alex's
needs.
     But the long train ride!  Renee leaned her head against the
mirror and remembered the way he seemed to shrivel up in bitter
silence.  He'd been so well.  They'd thought just for three days
he would have been all right.
     The entrance bell on the door chimed as it was opened and
hastily Renee jerked away from the mirror and dabbed at her eyes.
She walked into the anteway, where Fran was shaking snow from her
coat and putting it in the closet.
     "Have you got something prepared?" Fran's voice was casual.
     Renee nodded.  "The backyard!"
     "It's like ice out there."
     "I know!  But ..." Renee shrugged, "it won't leave any marks
and I think it will do it for him today.  Alex needs something
special."
     Fran nodded and continued to strip her clothes off, finally
shaking her long, blonde hair down over her nakedness.
     Together they woke Alex and took him out in the yard, already
two feet deep with glistening white snow.
     Renee shivered.  But it was her idea.  She plunged hack into
the snow, feeling it embrace her nakedness.
     Her skin felt like marble as she raised her legs in a V.
"Fill me up," she told Alex.  "Pack me full of snow!"  Her voice
was full of warmth and love as she urged Alex on.  It was so
terrible, seeing him like this.  He had to be told, step-by-step.
She knew he was fighting with himself, caught by the cruel choice
of doing right or doing what was best.  He had done for them what
was best.
     He was on his knees leaning over her.  Delicately his tongue
licked her naked swat.  Renee cried out as the wind immediately
formed a little scab of ice where his tongue had touched.
     And then he was pushing and cramming handfuls of snow into
her resisting passage.  She squirmed and cried out, and then as
the terrible coldness burned into her, it turned into icy fire.
     "Pack it in, Alex!"
     Clumsily he crawled between her legs, his hot prick melting a
little of the snow before he plunged it in her.  She felt like she
was going to explode as the packed snow carried the force of his
lunges into her deepest passages.
     Fran sat next to Renee's head and opened her legs.  And then
she caught Alex's head and guided his hungry mouth to her hot
cunt.
     He surged against both of them, licking and sucking Fran dry
and pounding her full of liquid.
     Renee felt her climax coming.  She screamed as it felt like a
thousand needles being driven into her cunt.  She screamed and
thrashed and held Alex tight as his semen exploded in her and hit
her walls burning hot and then froze solid in tendrils of liquid
suspended in ice water.
     Next to her head she heard his mouth sucking and pulling at
Fran's rosy cunt.
     She thought of the big fire she had going in the house, the
tingle as her half-frozen cunt thawed out.  She knew she'd want
more then.  But, there'd be the belt and the hot lines of fire on
her tender pussy before she got it.
     And then there would be the wonderful feel of Alex's prick
digging into her.
     But always there was the belt first, or the cigarettes, or
something else to perk Alex's dragging interest.
     It was going to be a long ... a very long winter!
     She felt the ice water draining out of her and she knew it
was time to go inside.  "Come on, Alex," she said.
     And the two women helped him inside, silently drawing lots
for the next round.



                             The End
