The Interpreter By Janet Ford Part One - The Beginning Ray's Story The train pulled out of the station and in a few minutes I was the only person left on the deserted platform. It was late, after ten, and it didn't take many minutes for the cold to start biting into my bones, winter in Central China wasn't a place to spend too much time outside. The wind blew down the platform, and pushed around the litter in the station and a light snow blew in the air it was a desolate place, a couple of sixty watt light bulbs illuminated very little, but I could see no one was waiting for me so I picked up my bags and headed for the exit. I went down a flight of worn slippery steps and came out into the street. It was deserted and even colder than the station. I didn't know which way to go and just as I was about to cross the street to what looked like a hotel a car came gliding up to the curb. The window slid down and the face of a young Chinese girl appeared. "Ray Blackmore?" She asked "Yes. Am I glad to see you?" She looked at me without smiling. "I am Jan Li your interpreter, put your bags in the boot and get in." It was an order, but in China I had learned that they are very direct. I did as I was told and was glad to be out of the cold. Jan drove and beside her was another woman who I wasn't introduced to and we drove away from the station. In a few minutes we were out in the country and starting to climb. There was no conversation I tried on a couple of occasions to start one but my attempts were met with silence. So I sat back and tried to enjoy the ride. It took a little under an hour to get to where we were going, a small construction site in Shanxi Province in the foothills of Qing Ling Mountains a million miles from anywhere. The last ten minutes of the journey were quite harrowing, the road was very slick, and Jan drove like Fangio; I was about to say something when she slowed and turned into what was obviously our destination. "Thank Christ for that!" I said under my breath. The place was a farm building that had been converted for our purpose. "Come with me." Again it was an order, not a request. I followed Jan and the other woman across the court yard and into the main house. The building was dimly lit and the ceiling was low I was walking in a crouch following the two women. At the end of the passage she stopped and knocked on the door. "Come in.' An English speaking female told us and we entered Robyn Sanders office. Robyn's Story. The moment I saw him I knew he was what we wanted. He stood in front of me flanked on either side by Jan and Soukey. He was easily a foot taller than both of them. I caught Jan's eye and the slightest smile brushed her lips. "You're late." I said to him not offering him a chair." "I'm sorry, he started, "but it isn't exactly a trip up the M1." "No it's not, but because we are in an isolated location I don't want it to be an excuse for second hand standards." "No, no of course not." He replied "I'm Robyn Sanders, you can call me Ms Sanders," I said offering him my hand. "Ray Blackmore," he replied. "You can call me Ray." "It's late Ray, so I'll be as brief as I can and then I'll let you get settled in" He remained standing I liked that. In the dimly lit room he looked tired and I knew he was; the trip from London to site was a long haul. One left Heathrow at lunchtime and arrived in Hong Kong in time for breakfast the next day, sleep would have been difficult especially someone Ray's size, we purposely booked him economy, to make things difficult. Then he would have got to the nine something to Xian and the midday train from there got him to Hanzong, and here he was possibly 48hours without sleep. "We have done a very good job as I'm sure you will agree when we take you around tomorrow morning; all the standards and specs have been met, which in China I'm sure you will agree is an achievement on its own and the schedule is on target for a February 21st start up. We need you for about a month to run the process and hand over to the client. Jan Li here speaks both Mandarin and Cantonese as well as English; Soukey is our Culture Mistress she will educate you in some of the local customs and traditions its very important that we don't upset our neighbours. Don't you agree Ray?" "Yes Ms Sanders." He correctly replied. "She also speaks perfect English. Do you have any questions Ray" "No Ms Sanders. Tomorrow when I'm a bit fresher and after a walk around I'm sure I'll have something to say." "I'm sure you will." I looked at my two lieutenants' and nodded. "Soukey will show you to your quarters and I'll see you for breakfast." He nodded and smiled and left the room escorted by Soukey. Jan came and sat at my desk. "What do you think? I asked "It's going to be an interesting month." Jan replied. Yes, very, we need to start right away." Soukey will have already started." Jan said with a smile "Good, ready for bed?" "I'm always ready." My lover replied Ray's Story. Well if first impressions are anything to go by I think I've made a mistake in coming here. I had my doubts when I first saw my traveling itinerary. My wages were ok but I'm used to flying Business Class when I fly international and I'm living in a converted out house. Robyn, or Ms Sanders as she likes to be called, looks like an attractive woman, but I don't know how well we are going work together, any way all will be clearer in the morning. I hope. I followed Soukey back to the car and picked up my bags it was snowing and it was settling and I followed her down to the other side of the complex from where I had previously been we walked down another dimly lit passage and stopped outside a room; it was padlocked . The key was in the lock and Soukey opened it and opened the door. The room was basic at best, a single bed, a table and a wardrobe circa 1930. "What more could a man ask for?" I said sarcastically. "I think we should understand each other from the beginning. I did not ask for you to come to this site. My preference was for a woman, but I was not listened to. Men are lazy, men are inadequate and men, think they are better than woman, but they are not. Here in Shanxi we are changing things women lead here. That is why we brought in Ms Sanders, and Ms Sheehan, women have run this project from the beginning and I'm disappointed they never brought in a woman to finish it." "I'm sorry you feel that way, but I promise I'll do everything to make my time here as uneventful as possible. I'll do my best to change your opinion of us men." I tried to sound encouraging but she didn't seem convinced. She resembled most Chinese women I had seen slightly built, only five feet two or three, long straight jet black hair that hung to her shoulders, she was wrapped up in a cocoon of a coat, her face was typical flat nose an almond eyes, she wasn't what I would call attractive, but some would probably find her beautiful. "What do you mean 'things are changing women lead here.' What was that about?" "You'll see. Don't be late, breakfast is at 6. We start work at six thirty." And she left. Well they say travel broadens the mind, and as I got undressed this thought was running through my head. After a month here I'll need a truck to get my mind home! Just then the door burst open, it was Soukey, I was in my underpants, she had planned her reentry perfectly. "I forgot to tell you; the toilets and showers are down there on the left. She looked at me; I was frozen standing there under her gaze. "OK, thanks." She smiled and left. I closed the door but found it wouldn't lock, hence the padlock. I'll fix that I thought. It was after midnight I was knackered but had trouble sleeping, over tired. This was going to be an interesting little number. The noise in the passage awoke me long before my alarm; shuffling bodies. I checked outside my door and a dozen men queued for three toilets and three showers, and that was how my day started. I made it to breakfast just as it was closing. "We start at six thirty Ray, didn't Soukey tell you?" Robyn asked. "Yes but.." "No buts Ray we expect our Expat staff to set an example. Please don't let it happen again." "No Ms Sanders." I replied. As we walked towards the car I was introduced to Kim Sheahan, the company financial manager. Both Robyn and Kim were big women, Robyn was about six foot in her boots she wore a navy blue anorak that was very unflattering but the previous evening, she gave me the impression that she was fit, and Kim was only a fraction shorter, but the brown anorak that she wore gave no indication as to what was underneath. I followed the two women. Soukey caught up with me. "You walk four paces behind them and two behind me and Jan. 'Ok Soukey.' "Ms Soukey." She corrected. And I fell into my correct position behind the four women. When we got to the Land Cruiser Robyn drove Kim sat in the front and I sat in the back with the two Chinese women, and we drove to work. Robyn's Story So far the plans we had made for Ray were working perfectly. Ray was a placid man and seemed to believe everything that he had been told by me and the rest of the girls, he might be too easy, and that wouldn't be good either! He was late for breakfast, I couldn't have planned it better, and we walked to the car he fell in behind Soukey it was all I could do to keep a straight face. We drove over to the office and started work. "Ray, Jan and you should go upstairs and have a look at where you'll start commissioning." I removed my coat and I had purposely left an extra button undone giving him a glimpse of my cleavage and I worn my black bra just a bit more bait for him to chew on, and he noticed it in a second; he wasn't gay, not that there's anything wrong with that! Ray's Story. The office was heated and for the first time in a day I felt warm albeit for just a few minutes. Robyn removed her jacket and gave me an eyeful; if she played her cards right she could have me I thought, but I was soon out in the main building, it was cold out there and the type of work I was doing didn't allow me to warm up. I asked a couple of my assistants to do a few things through Jan. "Jan I think we should establish a good working relationship and to do that you must say exactly what I say, not what you think they should do. Do you understand?" I asked. She looked at me for a second and nodded. "I'll tell them exactly" she said, but during the course of the morning things were not happening. Nothing was happening. "Why aren't these men working on that pump as I asked?" I enquired of her. Jan was dressed all in black, and looked quite imposing. She asked a question and a quick reply was fired back. "It's done." She replied. "How can it be done I haven't checked the direction of rotation?". "Your instructions were not very clear, they didn't understand." "Then you tell me when they don't understand," I snapped. This was common during the morning half a dozen things didn't get done." At about ten thirty I returned to the office in a very unhappy mood. I walked straight into Robyn's office; she was busy on her computer. "This isn't going to work." I barked. "What isn't?" "Me and Jan." "I'm afraid it going to have to." Robyn replied but keeping her eyes glued to her computer monitor. "Then you'll have to find someone else." "No, I don't think you understand, we haven't an option, you're here and you will cooperate with Jan. That is the end of the discussion. "No I'm afraid it isn't." "Really? Maybe we should get Jan in here and discuss your problem." "Maybe we should." "I should warn you that Jan is quite volatile and does have a short fuse." "Wow I'm shaking in my boots." Robyn phoned Jan and in a few minutes the interpreter and Soukey came into the office. Close the door Jan; we have a problem." "Yes we do." Jan endorsed. "Ray can't work with you, so we are going to have at adjust his attitude". Robyn's Story. After Ray and Jan left Kim came into my office, "He seems kind of cute," she said. "Be nice to see him spread-eagled somewhere." She said only half joking. "Yes, but let them handle him, we can play with him after Jan and the girls have broken him." Almost on cue Ray came back to the office complaining about Jan, I told her to be ready and when I called her she was just finishing her warm up. I was going to enjoy watching this. "Attitude adjustment? Me?" "Yes." Jan stormed into the office closely followed by Soukey. I watched her close and lock the door. She had removed her coat and wore a navy shirt and black jeans. "Ray says he can't work with you Jan, and as we have a deadline to meet I think he needs an attitude adjustment, because leaving just isn't an option." "Wait a minute," he began but Jan attacked him before he could finish. She was so quick, she elbowed him in the solar plexus and he folded over like a Swiss army knife, she spun and kicked him in the head, I hadn't noticed but she had removed her working boots she would have killed him if she hadn't, he fell to one knee obviously stunned by the sudden assault Soukey grabbed him around the neck. Ray tried to say something but they weren't interested in anything he had to say. Jan squatted down in front of him and said something in Chinese to Soukey and then spat in Rays face. Soukey pushed him to the floor. "Get up." Jan ordered as she grabbed him by the hair. "You fucking crazy bitch ... " He tried to finish his oath but Jan chopped him across the throat, "You never talk to me like that; you will pay for your disrespect." She shouted, and hit him with a combination that sent him crashing into the wall blood ran from his nose. Jan pursued him mercilessly. "Stop, what the fuck are you doing?" "Whatever I like," she snapped back. She got on top of him and ripped open his shirt. "STOP," he shouted he tried to push her off but she was fast Jan grabbed his wrist with her right hand and forced his arm up behind him, then grabbed him by the hair. "Stand up, stand up." She demanded forcing him to his feet; she dragged him to a crouch and spun him around and Soukey drove her foot into his groin, he hit him so hard I believe she lifted him off the floor. He omitted a cry and Jan allowed him to crash to the carpet. He rolled around at their feet groaning in agony They descended upon him like a school of piranha's Soukey ripped of his shirt, while Jan tore at his belt , he thrashed around under them unable to prevent the inevitable, Jan undid his belt and then unclipped the top of his jeans, it was extremely exciting to watch as they ripped his clothes off, Jan pulled down his zipper as Soukey pulled his undershirt over his head, as soon as she had discarded with the singlet she pinned him coming down hard on his chest and straddling him holding his arms against the floor, Jan pulled his jeans over his hips; he thrashed gallantly but there was never any doubt as to the outcome, she pulled his jeans down around his knees then grabbed the legs and pulled them off throwing them in a corner. "Now let's see what sort of man you are shall we?" Ray's Story. In all happened in a blur; one minute I was about to vent my spleen about Jan's performance as an interpreter the next I was laying on my back being assaulted by Cheech and Chong, except is wasn't funny I thought she had slipped or something but Jan is a mini cyclone. I'm not what you would say versed in the Martial Arts or Marquises of Queensbury, but I've always thought I was capable of handling myself. I was wrong, when I realized that I was seriously being attacked it was too late. The kick in the nuts ended my involvement Soukey really hurt me and then when they started to strip me I knew I was in trouble. Soukey straddled my chest and pinned me under her, as Jan pulled off my jeans. At first I was livid, but that emotion was quickly replaced by fear. They had a plan for me and it wasn't to commission this plant of that I was certain. I looked up at Soukey as I struggle to prevent Jan from removing my jeans but it seemed that my efforts to stop her had the reverse effect, and she pulled them off one leg at a time. Soukey laughed at my feeble attempts to remove her then she spat in my face. Then I felt Jan tug my underpants down she then grabbed me by the balls and squeezed. Soukey looked down at me as I screamed. "That's my cue." And she got off of me. "Get on your knees." Jan ordered. "PLLEEEEEEEEAAAAAAASSEEEEEEEEE." I squealed as Jan pulled me up by my balls. I got to my knees; Soukey stood behind me and as Jan released my balls Soukey grabbed them and pulled them up between my arse cheeks. "STOPPPPLLLLEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAGGGHHHH." I begged Jan hit me across the face. "Shut up." I knelt before Robyn and Soukey. "Just a little attitude adjustment is all you will need Ray and as you can see my girls are quite efficient don't you think?" "Yes Ms Sanders." "I'm not very impressed with what you've got there Ray she said flicking my limp penis with her boot, "why don't I give you a chance and let you show me what you've got. Get it up for me Ray, show me what you have! You can release his balls Soukey I don't think he's going any where. Are you Ray?" "No Ms Sanders." I took my flaccid dick in my hand and started to manipulate it and I slowly got myself erect. I have about seven inches I'm circumcised and have never had any complaints from the various women I have pleasured over the years but this was ridiculous. I have never been forced to jerk of before an audience before either. I was ashamed and humiliated as I got my self hard I couldn't look up. It took about a minute before I was rock hard. "Kim, it's me; you might want to come and watch this." Robyn said into her phone. I stopped and my penis bounced in front of me Robyn pushed it down with the sole of her boot the gravel rasped against my knob and it bounced back up as she released it. "I didn't tell you stop, I want you to get ready to cum when Ms Sheahan gets here she'll be a few minutes so keep doing what you do best." I continued stroking my cock as the three women watched me in silence. Finally after a couple of minutes there was a knock at the door Soukey let Kim in and locked the door again. 'Well, well what have I missed?" Kim wanted to know. "Not much. We're just giving Ray his first attitude adjustment; isn't that right Ray?" "Yes Ma'am" "OK Ray when you're ready I want you to come over my boot." It took me just a few seconds and I blew my wad over Robyn's toe cap and over the front of her boot, it took me a few seconds to milk all of my cum onto her boot. "Now lick it off." I looked up at Robyn. "Oh please." Soukey slapped her hand up between my legs and familiarized herself with my balls again. I screamed, my balls had become very tender. "OH PLEEEAAASSSEEE." I begged. Robyn got off of the desk she had been sitting on and stood in front of me. "You will obey my every command to the letter do you understand me, and she hit me with a right cross which rattled my teeth, Soukey ground my nuts together and nearly in tears I licked my mess from her boot. "You will obey me without question Ray I promise." To be continued. I am always interested in comments particularly from other Female writer. I can be contacted on janet_ford3094@hotmail.com
