CHAPTER 2

The search seemed to last forever and still there was no sign of her. They were camping at a sandy place along a shallow stretch of river downstream from the base camp, when Joel remembered Emily walking back into camp with wet socks and boots. She crossed the river to get back to us, he thought. So she’s probably on the other side of the river now. We’re looking in the wrong place.

It was too late to start a fresh search so he waited until his search companions had disappeared into their tents and then he took his flashlight and carefully crossed the river. It only took hours before he stumbled across the cabin. There was a light on in the window so Joel crept along the dark yard and peered inside.

A wild man stood there in the middle of the cabin, completely naked and unashamed. He was lean and long and muscular. His cock stood at attention. On the bed Emily leaned back giving the wild man a full view of her mocha body. As Joel peered over the window ledge at his girlfriend, naked on someone else’s bed, his cock began to stiffen.

This was like watching the videos, but better. He pulled out his cellphone and called up the video app and then he watched, waiting for the perfect opportunity.

The wild man crossed the cabin slowly and crawled into the bed, trapping Emily between him and the bed. He bent low over her and kissed her hard.

“I want you, Emily.” His voice was muffled by the glass and Joel almost didn’t catch what was said.

Her voice was just as soft. “I’m all yours.”

They twisted and stretched out on the bed and his hands moved over her, touching her without hesitation. He touched and caressed and groped and she tipped her head back, her eyes closed, which was good, because she might have seen the face at the window otherwise.

The wild man spread her legs, his hand pressing up her thick thighs. Yes, Joel thought. Yes, touch her. This is perfect. He held the phone up and hit record. The image would be dark and blurry but he’d know what he was watching every time he watched it, which would likely be every time he needed to get himself off for a long time to come.

The wild man muttered, “You’re so wet.”

Emily said, “I want you.”

“I’m all yours.” The wild man moved his hand from between her legs and pushed his substantial cock inside her. Joel was so hard his cock was throbbing. The angle wasn’t very good but next to the door was another window. If I could get over there the video would be so much hotter.

A branch snapped under his foot and he dropped to the ground, his heart pounding. He could hear movement inside the cabin and the dull square of light that shone from the window moved. He scrambled towards deeper shadows.

The wild man came out with the lantern and looked around then walked away from the cabin. Moments later he came back, the light from the lantern bouncing with each step. Joel held his breath and waited until the light disappeared inside the cabin. He scrambled forward to the front of the cabin and pressed his back against the wall under the window.

By the time he worked up the courage to look in the window the wild man was naked and in bed with Emily again. Emily was kneeling over him brushing her fingers through his thick chest hair and down to his stomach where she paused. The wild man had gone soft.

He said something but from this window Joel couldn’t make out the words. Instead he got his phone ready and started recording as Emily reached for the wild man’s cock.

She wrapped her hand around him. It didn’t take much massaging and tugging for him to grow hard in her hand. He stretched out on the bed while she played with him. His whole body relaxed, except his cock.

She straddled him and lowered her body onto his and he groaned again. Joel’s cock hardened again, aching now. He adjusted himself as best he could with one hand, the other holding the phone steady and hopefully out of sight. She rode him with long slow movements and his hands wandered over her body appreciating the hardness of her abs and the darkness of her perky breasted nipples.

The lantern cast deep shadows over them and the image on the screen was blurred, especially when he tried to zoom in, but the image in his mind was clear and crisp and rich with detail. The glow of skin where the light hit, the way they stared into each other’s eyes. Adrenaline from the scare was still pumping through him, adding to the erotic pleasure of watching his girlfriend ride another man’s cock. He’d imagined this, watching while she rode another man, and it was everything he’d hoped for.

She rode him harder and faster and their eyes remained locked on each other’s faces. Suddenly she started to scream out wordless sounds of pleasure as she neared her climax.

Joel reached down the front of his shorts and touched himself.

Her voice pierced the night. “Ryker! Ryker! Oh god yes!” and then the words were gone again and all she did was scream as the wild man thrust his hips up hard to meet hers.

She collapsed against his chest and Joel ducked down away from the window. He gripped his cock hard in his hand and let his shorts drop around his ankles. With the image of Emily still fresh in his mind it only took seconds to send a stream of cum across the ground. He pulled his pants up, grabbed his phone, and took off towards the search camp. He’d be back.

CHAPTER 3

EMILY

We were getting ready to head back to my car the next morning, which was why Ryker was rushing me through breakfast.

“How early were you up?” I said, taking a bite of the breakfast he’d had time to cook for me before I was even out of bed.

“Early.”

“Didn’t I tire you out last night?”

He chuckled. “Yes.”

“Oh good, I thought I was going to have to try harder. How are we going to work this?”

“What do you mean?”

“We’re going to drive home, to my home, in my car, and tell everyone what’s going on, and then pick up some extra clothes and things, and then what? It’s several hours by car from the city to where I parked my car. Are we walking back?”

“No. We’re driving to one of the ranches so I can borrow a truck. I’ll follow you to your home, we’ll load everything into the truck and then drive back. Then we only have a day, maybe two with the added luggage, to walk back to the cabin.”

“Oh. Well, I’m glad you’re thinking this through.”

“Drink some more coffee, you need to jump start that brain.”

“Gee thanks. What about King?”

“I’ll give him some extra feed. He can reach the long grass through the fence. He’ll just stay here and wait for us. There will be spoiled eggs when we get back but that’s the only thing we’ll really have to worry about.”

“This place is fairly self-sufficient, even without you.”

“I like it that way.”

“So do I.”

“Are you done that breakfast yet?” Ryker said, loading smoked meat into two backpacks.

I pushed the plate away and said, “I’m stuffed.”

“Your appetite will grow the longer you’re out here.” He offered me a hand and pulled me to my feet. “Grab a pack then and we’ll be off.”

“Don’t move! Don’t you take another fucking step!”

We both spun around at the sound of this new and very angry voice. Standing at the corner of the cabin, half hidden by the wood pile, was Joel and in his hands was a gun.

“Joel! What are you doing here?” My hands went up defensively and out of the corner of my eye I could just see Ryker doing the same.

“Step away from him, Emily. He can’t hurt you now.”

“Hurt me? Joel what are you talking about?”

“He kidnapped you from the campsite, he kept you tied up here …”

“I’m not tied up, Joel. He didn’t kidnap me. Put the gun down, please, before someone gets hurt.”

“I’m not putting this gun down! Get away from her, now. Step back. I’m serious, you get the fuck away from her.”

“Hey, just calm down,” Ryker said, taking a step back. “I’m not going to hurt her. We were just getting ready to hike back to Emily’s car.”

“She’s not going anywhere with you. Come here Emily, now. We’re getting out of here.”

“I think that’s her choice to make, not yours,” Ryker said.

“Here!” someone shouted. “Over here!”

“Joel? Are you here?” a voice called from the treeline.

“I’m here,” Joel shouted back, not taking his eyes off of Ryker.

A group of people came out of the bushes behind him, I could just see them behind the wood pile. “Joel, what were you thinking, wandering off like that? We stick together, as a group, like the state troopers said. We don’t want to be looking for two lost people.”

“We’re done looking,” Joel said.

“What’s with the gun, Joel?”

“Get her away from him, now.”

They looked over the wood pile and saw us. Julia rushed forward. “Emily?”

“Hey Julia. Look, would you tell him to put the gun down before he shoots someone?”

“I’m not putting the gun down until Emily is safely away from her attacker.”

“Attacker? Emily, are you okay?”

“I’m fine, Julia. This is Ryker, he’s the one who saved me when I fell in the river. I came back here to find him, I wanted to thank him, and I needed some space and some time to think about a few things. He didn’t kidnap me or attack me or hurt me in any way.”

“She’s lying,” Joel said. “He raped her.”

My mind snapped back to the night before, to the snap that had alerted Ryker and interrupted our sex. There had been nothing outside, no coyotes after the chickens, no bears, no wolves, and we’d curled up, riding the last of the adrenaline high to a place of intense passion.

My eyes narrowed. “When did you find me Joel?”

“What do you mean, when? Right now, this morning. Now get away from him or I’ll shoot him.”

“You care too much about your own hide to shoot a man in cold blood,” I said. “Especially in front of witnesses you might not be able to buy off. Why do you think he raped me? When did you find me? What did you see?”

He lowered the gun, finally, and shouted, “I’ve been looking for you for days, do you understand? I’ve been terrified that you jumped in that river and committed suicide. And instead I find you naked in the arms of another man! He raped you, it had to be rape.”

“Joel were you spying on us last night?

His face shifted from agony to anger. “Did I see you cheating on me with the creep who kidnapped you? Yes, I did, but don’t make it sound like I was …”

“Like you were watching her and getting off?” Julia said. There was a crowd gathering behind her now as other search parties were drawn to us by the shouting.

“What the fuck are you talking about?” Joel said. “I’m not a freak! I saw her and I walked away. It was dark, I couldn’t rescue her alone in the dark.”

“I’m talking about the videos, Joel. You’re sick, you know that?” She spat on the ground at his feet. “Did you really think we wouldn’t find out about it? There was no ‘old bet’, Emily. Joel was asking Buddy to record the two of you having sex together. They recorded me and Buddy too, more than once. They have a sick little site where they post the videos so all their rich perverted friends can watch. I downloaded the videos as proof in case they deleted them.”

“But it was the middle of the night, in the dark, in the middle of nowhere how …”

Julia handed me her phone. The screenshot was dark with strange glowy-green lines. Night vision, they recorded the fucking thing with a night vision camera. I pressed play and could hear the rustle of leaves and then Joel’s familiar voice.

“Emily, relax, okay? No one is going to see us. You’re beautiful.” The camera panned, blurring the image, and came to rest on two figures.

My laughter. “You can barely see me.” Now the image zoomed until I could clearly see myself and Joel on a blanket, naked. On the screen a familiar scene unfolded. Everyone could hear Joel but only I could see the screen. I should have stopped it, should have turned it off, but I had to see just how much the video showed. I was too intent on the screen to even be embarrassed by the number of people standing around listening to our sex tape. Our already very public sex tape.

“I don’t have to see you; I know you’re beautiful. … I want you to kiss me,” he said, “Kiss me here and finish getting me hard … Yes, like that … That’s it, eat it, good girl.”

The camera zoomed in more, right on the side of my face. Even with the night vision setting I was clearly recognizable. “You like that cock, don’t you? Oh fuck yes. Fuck you’re good at this. Oh, take it deeper, deep throat my cock you little black tease … Fuck my cock with your mouth. Keep taking it in your throat. Fuck yes. Fuck, like that … Don’t stop what you’re doing don’t fucking stop … You like that, don’t you. You want to be fucked ..”

Now the camera panned down my body for a moment, catching Joel in the act of fingering me, and then back to my face. “You don’t know what you want more, that cock in your mouth or shoved up your cunt. Maybe you’d like two of us? Maybe You want to be fucked in the mouth and the cunt? … Don’t fucking stop. I want to feel the back of your throat every time. I want you to fuck my cock with your hot wet mouth … Wow, Emily you’re fucking amazing. Come here …” He swung my body around.

“Fuck you’re so tight and wet tonight, just the way I like you … Fuck, I would love to take your ass tonight, babe. Your cunt is so fucking tight, I bet your ass is even better.”

“Joel, it hurts.”

“Take it, oh, take my cock.”

I didn’t see or hear the rest because Ryker took two long strides and punched Joel hard enough in the jaw to send him reeling. I handed the phone back to Julia, who hit stop, and rushed to Ryker’s side, putting my hand on his arm. “Yeah, I want to do that too, but I don’t need you getting arrested for assault.”

“Then he’d better get the fuck out of here, now.”

“You waited until the end of the video to punch him?” I said.

“You said it hurt and he didn’t stop. Everything else he did was wrong too, but that’s too much. He disrespected you, Emily. That last part was rape, from the sound of it.”

“I never raped her,” Joel whined. “She wanted it!” He stayed down, which was probably smart, and he was holding his face.

“Except when she changed her mind and didn’t want it anymore,” Ryker said.

At that moment the forest rangers and police joined the crowd of searchers who had come with Julia and Joel to rescue me from my kidnapper.

“Are you Emily?” asked a man in a state trooper uniform.

“Yes sir.”

“Are you hurt?”

“No sir.”

“Is this man holding you against your will?”

“No sir.”

“Do you know how scared your family was?”

“I can guess. I’m sorry. I wasn’t really thinking straight, I just came out here to sort a few things out and I was scared that if I told anyone where I was going that someone would either talk me out of it or come after me and try to drag me home. I guess I should have found some way to tell my parents I was safe and not to worry. I’m really sorry. If it means anything, we were just on our way to tell everyone what was going on.”

“You need to make a full statement so we can officially end this search. And your parents are with the officers back at the search’s start point, they’ll want to talk to you.”

“I need to press charges as well,” I said. “Someone has been circulating a pornographic video of me and I didn’t give anyone permission to film me, or to post any videos of me anywhere.”

The officer’s eyes went wide. “Well, uh, yeah, we can take your statement for that too.”

“Emily, don’t do this! You don’t want to press charges.” Joel scrambled to his feet and then scrambled back away from Ryker. “What about me? He punched me? Isn’t that assault?”

The officer looked at each of us in turn, put two and two together, and looked at Joel. “Son, you can try to press charges but it looks like you got no more than you deserved.” He waved over another officer and pointed at Joel. “Hold on to him, I’ll need to question him when we get back to the city.”

“Yes sir.”

“Officer, if you could have everyone disperse, the crowd is making me nervous and they aren’t really needed anymore, are they?”

The officer nodded and turned away from us. “Everybody please make your way back to the search camps to collect your things and then make your way to the base camp. Flag down the boats to move everyone back up river more quickly.”

“Boat?” I squeaked.

“You had people very worried, Emily,” the officer said. “Come on, I’ll get you two to the base camp and your parents.”

Ryker and I grabbed the packs and followed the officer to the river bank. Sure enough there was a boat waiting for us. When we arrived upriver, my mom was rushing over before I was even on dry land again.

“Emily, we were so worried about you,” she said, wrapping her arms around me.

“I’m sorry Mom, I should have left a note or something. I’m fine, I promise.”

“I’m not fine!” She started sobbing.

My father joined us and put a hand on his wife’s shoulder. “We’ll drive you home,” he said. “They took your car back to the city already.”

“Actually, could you drive us to a ranch nearby?”

“Us?”

For the first time they seemed to actually see Riker hovering behind me. I suppose they originally dismissed him as one of the searchers, but he hadn’t dispersed like the others had. Now they stared at him.

“Who are you?” my father said.

“My name’s Ryker, I rescued Emily from the river.”

“Well then we thank you for that.” My dad turned to me. “Emily, what’s going on here? Why did you come out here?”

“I’m sorry, I just needed some time to sort out what I wanted from my life and I’ve finally decided.”

“So you’ll go back to school in the fall?”

“No Dad, I’m sorry. I’m not going to school.”

“You’re not moving in with Joel, are you?” my mom said.

“No, never, not a chance in hell.”

“Oh good, he’s a nice young man but I’m not ready for you to leave home just yet. Silly, isn’t it. You’re a grown woman an all …”

“Mom, I’m moving in with Ryker.”

“What?! You’ve known him all of a week, maybe less, and you think you’re moving in with him? This isn’t a fairy tale, Emily, you don’t meet a prince and fall in love at first sight and live happily ever after.”
