To Die For By Nicholas Klinsman, http://www.mindsync.com/rapty/moscow.html A woman overwhelms her ex husband when he tries to rape her. Inside a trendy microbrewery restaurant, most of the tables had already been taken by the time Steve had arrived. Since he was there before Vera, he decided to take a stool at the other end of the bar and have a beer until she came. While he waited for the bartender to deliver his pint- sized mug, he petted the granite counter top with his hands appreciating its smooth texture and the way it glistened. In between chugs, he passed the time watching a basketball game on the T.V. monitor and observing the restaurant's patrons. Many were mall shoppers topping off their afternoon of spending, while others were nearby employees wanting to relieve the stress of a day's work. By the minute these customers were being replaced by a more attractive, well-dressed crowd of people ranging in age from twenty to thirty. Looking around the room, Steve could see several of them talking away on their cell phones. In front of many of them were mouth-watering plates of gourmet style food. However, Steve was not sure, which was more delicious, the food or the lovely waitresses who delivered them. The white blouses and black stretch pants they wore showed off their well proportioned figures nicely. Whenever one passed by Steve took the opportunity to admire their backside. Seeing them though, only reminded Steve of how much he wanted Vera. It had been over a year since their divorce was finalized. In that time the fortunes of their lives had gone in opposite directions. He was alone and on the verge of bankruptcy after squandering his money away on worthless investments and get rich fast deals that never paid off. She on the other hand had become a very successful real estate agent with many friends and admirers. It wasn't until he almost reached the bottom of his second pint before Vera arrived just like she did every Friday night. Immediately, her flowing reddish brown hair and radiant features caught his attention. Even in a bar filled with attractive young women, Vera always stood out in a crowd. Captivated by the sight of her, his eyes lustfully began to follow her every move. The brown suede fabric of her dress gripped her body perfectly and showed off Vera's wasp like curves and rock solid stomach line. Because the dress was sleeveless, everyone could see the well-toned muscles in her biceps and triceps elegantly contracting as she glanced around the room. As soon as she saw where her girlfriends were seated, Vera made her way through the crowd. Without her asking, the patrons all stepped aside to let her pass. Fixing his eyes between her knee-high brown leather boots and the low cut hem of her dress, Steve held his breath as he stared at the incredible power that flexed in her thighs with every step she took. It had been too long since he had rubbed his hand on those legs. Even though she was no longer his, he could still feel his fingers burning to caress her flesh. Waiting for her at a small round shaped table were two attractive blondes. Before sitting down with them, Vera leaned over to each of them and exchanged a friendly kiss on the cheek. As soon as Vera sat down a waitress placed a cocktail in front of her and the three girls lifted their glasses and clanked them together. After a few sips, Vera finally noticed Steve. When their eyes met, she quickly turned away and mumbled something to the other girls. The two blondes had an astonished look on their faces as they took a quick glance over to where Steve was sitting. At first Vera was uncomfortable with the sight of her ex husband staring at her, but eventually her frustration turned to exultation. She knew about the troubles he was having since they had divorced, and she remembered how he had treated her before. The last words he had said to her were, "You're nothing without me bitch." However, he was the one who was nothing now. Quickly, the look of concern on her face turned into a gratifying smile. Sensing that he was still staring at her, Vera seemingly ignored him by not looking his direction. Treating him as if he weren't even in the room, Vera and her girlfriends carried on their conversations. Unable to get her attention, Steve ordered the girls a round of drinks. To his surprise Vera accepted the offer. Suddenly, Vera turned toward Steve. When their eyes met, she picked up the cherry out of her cocktail by its stem and brought it over her mouth. Taking her time she enveloped the cherry with her teeth and puckered her lips. Vera winked at Steve as she pulled the stem away with her fingers. Then one of the blonds giggled and motioned him over with her finger. Without hesitation, Steve picked up his beer mug and walked over. At six foot one and 200 pounds, Steve still possessed the impressive physique that Vera had once adored about him. Standing in front of the table the two blonde girls scooted their chairs away from Vera so that Steve could sit next to her. "Long time no see Vera. You like you're doing well." "You're right Steve it is a long time no see, but you still look like shit." The other two girls smirked as they attempted to hold their laughter in check. "You know from what I hear about you Steve, I'm surprised to see you here in a place like this. Are you sure you can afford it?" "It's just temporary. I'll land back on my feet really soon." Steve replied. "So what is it you want with me then?" asked Vera with a hint of blunt coldness. "I came to see if maybe you and I could start fresh?" said Steve as he uninvitingly reached his right hand over and placed it on top of her knee. Although Vera despised his touch she remained calm. "It's too late for a new start Steve. You put me through hell and I'll never take that from any man as long as I live." "I'm not like that any more Vera. I've changed," replied Steve with a pleading tone in his voice. Vera comfortably chuckled and re crossed her legs so that his hand was now in between her thighs. "Come to think of it I've missed some of the things you used to do for me." Vera said as she looked over to her girlfriends with a wicked smile on her face. "I especially remember how you used to rub my legs with your hands. Do you think you could do that for me?" asked Vera as she relaxed back in her seat. Enraptured by the thought, Steve leaned forward and began massaging her legs just as he was told. "What are you waiting for? Go further! "You haven't forgotten how to do this have you?" joked Vera. Just then as Steve extended himself she tightened her thighs trapping his hand between her legs. Her grip was so tight that his hand couldn't go forward nor backward. "On second thought I haven't missed you one bit," hissed Vera while her girlfriends roared with laughter at the embarrassing sight of Steve. "Let go of my fucking hand you stupid bitch!" yelled Steve. "That sounds an awfully lot like the old Steve. It's funny how the more things change the more they stay the same," added Vera as she released her hold. Gripping his wrist with the other hand Steve rose from the table, his face red with anger. This was not the first time Vera had seen him like this, but unlike the others times she was no longer afraid of him. 'You're going to pay for this bitch." yelled Steve as he looked poised to slap her. "Don't even think about it Steve. One wrong move and I'll put your head between my thighs instead of your hand. If you think you're in pain now, just think how it would feel if your head was about to explode." Looking around the room he could see the staring faces of many of the patrons watching to see what would happen. Clenching his teeth he turned back toward Vera. "Not now, but sometime soon you're going to get yours you filthy hoar." "You're pathetic Steve. Get out of my site." Turning around Steve stomped out of the restaurant. Hardly able to control his emotions he cursed to himself as he walked through the mall on his way to the parking garage. By the time he went down the escalator his face was still red with anger. Heading toward his car he noticed a black Lincoln Navigator. It looked like the one Vera had bought just before their divorce. Upon closer inspection he could see that it indeed was Vera's. Still boiling over with anger he prepared to kick in the lights, but just a he was about to he halted in his tracks. Reaching into his pockets he pulled out his car keys. He still had his copy on the key ring. Moving to the driver's side he tried to unlock the door. With a turn of his wrist the lock clicked open. Ok Vera you're going to learn there's no messing with me, he thought to himself. Later that evening after parting way with her friends Vera walked to where her car was parked. Getting in just like she had done a thousand times she sat in her seat, put the key into the ignition, and turned the switch. Driving out the garage she headed home. Tonight had been a memorable night as she thought of the embarrassed look on the face of Steve. Shortly, thereafter, she drove up her driveway and pushed the button on her remote control so that the garage door could open. As she turned off the ignition a hand came out of nowhere and closed over her mouth. "I guess payback time is already here," spoke a frightening but familiar voice. Looking in the rear view mirror Vera could make out that the intruder was Steve. "Now I got your full attention. Don't I Vera?" yelled Steve. When she didn't answer he pulled back on her hair with his right hand until he was sure it caused Vera pain. "You looked too good tonight not to let a man touch you. So things will go a lot smoother if you just consider this a date," warned Steve as he tightened his grip on her hair. Taking the keys out of the ignition Vera jabbed them full force into the forearm of the hand gripping her hair, while simultaneously taking her left hand and violently yanking back on his thumb over her mouth. The pain caused Steve to release his grip immediately. But instead of fleeing Vera turned around to face him. Looking into the back seat she could see Steve holding onto his broken thumb, while blood trickled out of the puncture wound on his forearm. "I've been waiting to do this to you for a long time," she hissed as she reached over with her right hand and locked the door from the inside. "Bring it on Bitch!" screamed Steve in return. "I told you what I was going to do to you if you messed with me again Steve." Putting her hands on top of the front seats she used the leverage to catapult herself feet first into the back seat so that both her heels connected with his sternum. From there she pounced on him with the quickness and agility of a cat. He screamed in pain as she raked his eyes with her fingernails. Pressing her advantage she interlocked her fingers behind his head and jerked him forward while she drove her right knee upward into his nose. Upon impact her knee could feel his nose being smashed and broken while blood poured out from his face. Then from every angle imaginable Vera unleashed a barrage of punches. Steve tried to cover himself up, but he couldn't protect himself. She was just too fast. Although stunned, Steve managed to sum up his strength and throw his shoulder into her chest knocking her backward. But before he could regain himself she lifted up her left knee and snapped the leg forward into his face so that the toe of her boot indented into his jawbone. Unable to fight with her, Steve grabbed a hold of Vera and tried to wrestle her, but each time a whirlwind of kicks and punches sent him into a retreat. Finally, Steve managed to bench press Vera off of him and throw her against the back seat door. All of a sudden he now had the advantage. Unwilling to relinquish it, he charged forward like a bull hoping to gore his matador. To protect herself, Vera curled her legs up so that her heels were flush against his torso. With all his strength Steve tried to pin her down. Gradually the pressure and weight appeared to take effect as he pushed Vera's knees all the way back to where they touched her face. Unknown to him was the fact that Vera could easily leg press more mass than Steve could exert. When he had leaned forward enough, she extended her legs outward with all her strength, sending Steve flying hard against the opposite door. Before he could rise, Vera sat up and drove her heel forward in between his legs. As he screamed out in pain, she again grabbed the back of his hair with her hands and again she jerked his head forward until the bottom of his chin made solid contact with the top of her knee. So devastating was the blow that his head whipped back full force against the door almost knocking him out. Feeling himself losing consciousness, Steve knew he was beaten. The only thing to do now was to escape this woman and fight another day. Jumping over the back of the seats, Steve landed cleanly on the driver's seat. As quickly as he could possibly move, he tried to unlock the door. But as he struggled to pull up the lock, the bottom of Vera's right boot crashed against the back of his head driving him face first into the door window. Resting the sole of the boot squarely against the back of his neck she pinned his face against the glass. "So tell me Steve is this what you expected?" asked Vera mockingly. Before Steve could answer she exerted more force so that the glass was pressed so tightly against his lips that it muffled the sound of his voice. "You should have listened when I told you weren't man enough. Now you'll have to pay the ultimate price for your male stupidity," said Vera as her hands grasped the sides of her dress and hiked them above her hips. Reaching back with her left hand she then grabbed a handful of suede and held up her dress so that it couldn't lower itself back over her thighs. Keeping her boot pressed against him, Vera's flexibility allowed her to reach over until her right hand could grip a handful of his hair. In one motion she removed her boot from his neck and yanked her hand backward. Seating herself atop the elbow rest of the front seat she widened her legs and continued to pull Steve backward until the back of his head was flush against her lingerie covered pelvis. Her legs then closed in around the side of his face trapping his arms down against the seat, while her calves locked together so that there could be no escape. Leaning over, she stared down at Steve until their eyes met. Reveling at the way his cheeks began to puff up and turn red she pressed inwardly with her thighs. Looking up at her Steve hoped to find mercy in her eyes, but instead he found Vera gnarling her teeth like a wolf. "Well Steven I guess you actually did find a way to get in between my legs again. Too bad for you, it's not the way you imagined." she roared down at him. For added leverage she reached over with both hands and gripped the steering wheel. His face was now turning blue from the lack of oxygen. Like trash being compressed by a compactor, Vera's steel legs began to smash his skull. Steve's eyes bulged wildly as Vera felt his jawbones shatter. But before he passed out, Vera let up on the pressure so that their eyes could meet one last time. Barely conscious, Steve could plainly see the smug smile on her face as she leaned forward far enough to gently kiss his lips. "Bye baby." she whispered only inches from his face waiting for his last plea for mercy. When it came he saw her smile one last time. Slamming her legs shut, Vera retightened her vice like grip and began to squeeze with everything she had. Then with a sudden twist of her hip she heard his neck break.
