The Adventures of Larra Court

Episode 6

Larra’s Arctic Adventure

 

Chapter 10  Canadian Beaver

 

Larra thought over Melissa’s story.  Somehow the two thugs on the train had managed to follow her to the North.  And they had brought their master with them.  “Featherstone,” Larra mused.  She remembered the tall suave Englishman from the British embassy.  It seemed obvious that he was some sort of spy, intent on sabotaging her expedition.  Fortunately, his choice of henchmen had proved disastrous for his cause.  Melissa had easily outsmarted them and then arranged for the rescue of Larra and her two guides. 

“Plucky girl,” Larra thought.  “It was my lucky day when she showed up on my doorstep.”

Still, it would not do to become overconfident.  The RCMP had found no trace of the elusive Englishman.  That seemed strange.  In an outpost as small as
Yellowknife a man like Featherstone should have attracted considerable attention, but he had completely disappeared.  She would have to be on her guard.  A man like that was bound to keep on trying.

She glanced out the window of the small cabin where she and Melissa were staying.  Sawatis and Lemaire were down at the airport picking up the supplies she had ordered.  She had been holed up in the small town for about two weeks now, waiting for her order to arrive.  Unfortunately, the remoteness of the northern town made it difficult to communicate with the outside world and it had taken several days for her messages to reach her suppliers and replace the equipment that she had lost on the downed plane. 

She turned away from the window.  It was already dark outside even though it was only early afternoon by the standards of southern climes.  During the winter, night came early to the northern town.  It would be many months before the return of summer, when the sun set for only an hour or two on the longest days.

Melissa was over by the stove brewing some tea.  During the wait for the supplies she and the girl had become quite chummy.  They were the only occupants of the cabin.  Larra liked it that way.  She found Lemaire rather “distracting.”  And after what had happened to Melissa, Larra thought it best to keep her mind on the job.  Still, that had been a pleasant few days in the snow shelter.  Her backside was still a little sore. 

“Tea’s ready,” chimed Melissa.  She carried the steaming pot toward the table.  At that moment, Larra had a strange feeling.  She turned slowly toward the door just as a heavy boot almost knocked it off its hinges. 

Featherstone stood in the doorway, a Smith and Wesson revolver leveled at the two women.  Larra was just about to react when the shutters covering the windows on either side of the cabin burst open.  Standing at each window was a man aiming the business end of a rifle toward her and Melissa. 

Both women slowly raised their hands.  Larra waited for an opportunity, but none came.  The men at the windows never relaxed their vigilance and Larra was very conscious of the fact that if she made any sudden moves it would be the inexperienced Melissa that would probably get injured. 

Featherstone watched warily from the open door.  The cold air of the early Arctic winter blew in, carrying with it some light snow.  “On your knees Miss Court,” he ordered, “and you too, Miss Gallant.  Be damned quick about it.  I don’t want to shoot you just yet, but if you give me any excuse I will not hesitate.”

Larra and Melissa dropped to their knees, their arms still raised in the air.  “Featherstone.” said Larra, “What are you doing here?”

“That should be obvious
Miss Court, I followed you here.  I must thank you for leaving such an obvious trail.”

“To what end?  I had no idea you were interested Inuit archeology.”

“Oh come now,
Miss Court.  You must know that I have seen through that feeble ruse.  We both know why you are here.  And I intend to find out the details of your mission.”

While Featherstone and Larra talked a fourth man entered the cabin.  He looped a rope around the neck of each of the women and threw the loose end over a roof beam.  Featherstone took one of the ropes and the henchman the other.  Pulling them tight, he forced both women to stand on tiptoes to keep from being strangled.  Each woman kept her hands over her head, holding on to the rope to take up a bit of the strain.

“What are you trying to do?” Larra gasped. “Strangle us to death?  You’ll get no information that way.”

Melissa’s protest was more vehement.  “You scumbag,” she spat, “let me down or you’ll regret this.”

Featherstone laughed dryly.  “Quiet, little girl, your rich daddy can’t help you now.”

“I don’t need help to deal with a rat like you.  Just get your thugs to put away their guns and I’ll show you who’s the little girl.”

Featherstone pulled on the rope, sending a warning to Melissa.  “Any more yak, my little spitfire, and I’ll see how long you can swing before your strength fails.”

Melissa, readying another retort, thought better of it as the rope tightened, cutting into her slender neck. 

Featherstone surrendered his end of the rope to his henchman, and moved behind Larra.  Pulling her hands behind her back, he quickly lashed her wrists together.  Then he moved to Melissa and tied her in the same way.  Fortunately, the ropes about their necks were slacked off; otherwise both women would probably have strangled.

Moving around in front of Larra, he pushed his face close to hers.  “There, that should hold you both temporarily.  Now let’s get down to business.  I want information, and you have it.  Tell me what I want to know and I may go easy on you.  Play hard to get and I will have to get nasty, starting with little Miss Gallant here.”

“Don’t tell this moose dropping anything, Larra.  I’m not afraid of him.”

Featherstone quietly turned his gaze to the young girl.  What Melissa saw in his eyes chilled her.  She suddenly realized that she faced a man completely lacking in moral sentiment.  She shivered. 

“Not afraid, my dear?” asked Featherstone with icy deliberation.  He moved his face a few inches from hers.  “Perhaps you are not, but you will be.”  His hand moved toward the top button of her blouse.

“What are you doing?” Melissa demanded.  “Don’t touch me!”

“I’ve already touched you, I just seeking a more intimate place.”  He ran his forefinger lightly between Melissa’s breasts.  “Has any man ever touched you there before?”

Melissa’s chest heaved.  It was a most inviting sight.

“Leave her alone, Featherstone.”  Despite her desperate situation, Larra’s voice was level and determined. 

“Oh?” replied Featherstone, almost lazily.  “Are you going to tell me what you know?”

“It doesn’t look as if I have a choice,” said Larra resignedly.  “Will you promise to leave the girl alone?”

“Whatever you like.  I want information.  I can get a woman, and a willing one, any time.”

“Wait!” interrupted Melissa.  “Promise that you will leave Larra alone too!”

Featherstone looked at her.  He appeared irritated.  “I’m getting a bit tired of you Miss Gallant, but if it will speed up the process I agree.  I won’t touch either one of you.”

“Alright,” said Larra, “I agree.  Untie me.” 

“Untie you?  Not bloody likely,
Miss Court.  I have far too much respect for your athletic abilities.”

“I don’t break my word,” replied Larra.  “Untie me and untie the girl.  I’ll tell you what you want to know.”

Featherstone nodded to the man who had helped tie the two women up.  He slackened the ropes around their necks and removed the ropes from their wrists.

“Thank you,” said Larra without emotion.  She sat down at the table.  “You have a map?” she inquired. 

Featherstone gestured to his henchman.  A map was spread out on the table.  “We are here,” said Larra pointing to the map, “and this is where we were going.”  For the next half-hour she explained her objective to Featherstone, stopping only to answer his questions.  Finally, she stopped speaking.

Featherstone seemed satisfied.  “You are as good as your word,
Miss Court.  It is too bad for you that I am not.”  He placed a gun to Melissa’s head and drew back the hammer.  “Please place your hands behind your back once more.”

Larra sighed.  She had expected exactly this action from Featherstone, but she had not had much choice.  She could not endanger Melissa’s life.  “You know,” she said as the henchman bound her wrists again, “Miss Gallant was right.  You are scum.”

“Thank you for the compliment,” Featherstone smiled.  He holstered the gun as Larra’s wrists were tied tight.  “It will make what I am going to do so much more pleasurable.”

Both Larra and Melissa shuddered.  There was no mistaking the threat.

“Let the girl go, Featherstone,” said Larra.  “Do what you want with me, but leave her alone.  She’s just an innocent young girl.”

“No!” protested Melissa.  “I will not be saved at your expense.”

“You see,
Miss Court.  She does not want to be saved.  And in any case, I have no intention of letting such beauty go to waste.  She will be a major part of tonight’s entertainment.”

Melissa swallowed.  She knew exactly what Featherstone’s threat implied.  “Don’t you touch me,” she warned.  “I’ll kill the man who dares!”

Featherstone suddenly seemed to grow impatient.  “Enough of this,” he shouted.  “Gag both of them and haul
Miss Court up on the table.”

All of Featherstone’s men were in the cabin by now.  There were eight of them including Featherstone; more than enough to handle the two women.   A rough gag was thrust into Melissa’s mouth and tied in place with a length of cord.  She recognized it as her own handkerchief, taken from her backpack.  She saw that Larra was similarly gagged.

Then Melissa was forced into a straight-backed chair.  Her arms were pulled over the top of the chair back and down behind her.  A rope was tied from her wrists to one of the chair rungs.  The effect left her sitting straight up in the chair, with her prominent breasts thrust forward.  She couldn’t help noticing the way the eyes of every man in the cabin looked at her and felt a spasm of real fear.  Just to make sure that she could not escape, each of her ankles was bound to one of the chair legs.  She was forced to look on helplessly, while Featherstone attended to Larra.

Larra kicked violently as she was bound to the tabletop, but she was being held by four men and they overpowered her by sheer force of numbers.  She was laid flat on the tabletop, her arms pinned beneath her.  Her legs were bent over the edge of the table and were tied so that they could not move.  Then her clothes were removed. 

Featherstone took charge personally of the disrobing of the adventuress.   “I have been looking forward to this ever since we first met,
Miss Court,” he said, as he unbuttoned the top button of Larra’s shirt.  Slowly, he slipped his hand into the opening, and ran his fingers along her collarbone.  He had never felt such skin, it was smoother than the finest silk.  Licking his lips, he undid the second button, revealing the upper curve of her bosom. 

“Exquisite,” he muttered.  If the rest of her body lived up to what he could see so far, he and his men were in for a rare treat.  The third button was undone.  Then the fourth.  Larra’s shirt was now open to her navel.  Her prominent breasts were covered only by her lace bra.  Featherstone placed his hand on her flat belly, marveling at the smooth muscles beneath the velvet skin.  There was a power there that excited him.  This woman was a lean, beautiful animal, and she was entirely in his power.  The thought of what he was going to do to her excited him beyond imagination. 

He pulled her shirt from her waistband, and unfastened the last button.  Opening her shirt he exposed all of her torso not covered by her black bra.  The rise and fall of Larra’s chest attested to a certain amount of anxiety.  Slowly, he ran his hand up her belly to the edge of her brassiere.  Larra’s breathing became a little more agitated. 

“Incredible,” Featherstone thought.  He had pushed his fingers under her bra and cupped the soft, firm flesh of her right breast.  What an amazing pair of breasts!  He had never felt anything like them.  He withdrew his hand and ripped the thin material apart.  Larra’s breasts hardly settled.  They were like two large ripe melons on top of her chest.  Melons topped by the sweetest little pink cherries.  Unable to stop himself, he took one of the alluring hemispheres in each hand and squeezed the soft flesh.  Larra arched her back, but gave no other indication of the humiliation she was experiencing. 

Featherstone’s men crowded around, anxious for a share of the treasure.  Featherstone waved them away.  “Not yet, gentlemen.  You will have a turn, but I get to have my fun first.”  Releasing Larra’s breasts, he turned his attention to the lower part of her body.  With almost detached deliberation, he unbuckled her belt.  He pulled the heavy leather belt from its loops and set it aside.  It might come in handy for other purposes.  He smirked as he thought of the pain he was going to inflict.

“Now,” he said, “let’s have a little look at some English crumpet.  He undid the snap above the zipper of Larra’s pants and then slowly pulled them open.  All the time he kept his eyes on Larra’s face, watching her for the sign of fear that he knew must come.  All he got in return, however, was a steady glare from those intense violet eyes.  He shrugged and allowed his men to untie her ankles so that they could pull Larra’s trousers from her legs.

Now his prey was almost naked from head to toe, except for her black lace panties and the shirt that still covered her arms.  Featherstone slid his fingers up the outside of Larra’s smooth rounded thighs, sensing the powerful leg muscles under the satin skin.  It was almost like skinning a tiger.  Now his fingers were at the edge of Larra’s panties.  She heaved her body unexpectedly as he slid his hands underneath the elastic of the legs, but the men holding her maintained their grip.  Again, he looked at her eyes, searching for the first signs of panic.  He saw none, but noted with satisfaction that despite the cool air of the cabin, Larra’s body was covered with a fine sheen of sweat. 

Featherstone’s fingers were now moving over the downy pelt at the apex of Larra’s thighs.  It was a soft as fleece.  He pulled down her panties, baring her pelvic region.  His eyes roved over the tiny slit between her legs, barely concealed by the fine down of her pubic hair. 

“We’ve got a fine English ewe here boys, I think it is time to do some sheep shearing.”  Featherstone rummaged in his pack and brought out his shaving kit.  Opening the leather case, he took out a wicked-looking straight razor and the mug containing his shaving cream. 

“Well,
Miss Court,” he gloated, “I think it is time to have a better look at what you have been concealing.  I’m a bit of a sportsman you know and I like to skin what I catch.”  Using cold water, he worked up a lather in the mug and applied the shaving cream to Larra’s nether region. 

Larra grimaced in distaste.  In all of the many times she had been taken, no one had ever shaved her.  Featherstone caught the look and grinned sadistically.  Without bothering to strop the razor, he began to remove Larra’s fine pubic hair. 

Larra stopped struggling.  She dared not risk Featherstone cutting her in so sensitive a region.  Hair by hair, he removed the soft felt that concealed her vaginal lips until finally she was as naked there as the day he had been born. 

Featherstone stepped back to admire his handiwork.  “Well, boys, the cat, or rather the pussy has been skinned.”  He was joined in the laughter at his joke by the men around him.  He stared at Melissa.  “One down, one to go.”

He moved over to Melissa.  “Heat up some water, boys.  I want to make sure that I get every hair on this one.”

Melissa cried out in rage as Featherstone’s finger went to the button at her throat, her voice muffled by her gag.  Never, had she imagined when she had gone to see Larra that she would be bound in a chair, fighting to preserve her virtue.  She was mortified when the English villain unsnapped the first button and moved his hand inside her shirt the same way he had done to Larra. 

“Easy now, my dear,” said Featherstone.  “I just want to see if your assets are as impressive as they appear to be.”

Featherstone ran his fingers over the girl’s soft skin, tracing the outline of her collarbone.  Melissa’s breathing quickened.  She reacted quite differently from Larra.  Where the English archeologist had managed to maintain some air of detachment, Melissa was clearly agitated by his touch.  Her breathing increased markedly, her impressive bosom rising and falling rapidly.  He face was white with fear, and her eyes wide and staring.  Slowly, he inched his hand deeper inside her shirt.

“Smooth as satin,” commented the Englishman, sliding his hand down to the upper swell of her bosom.  It took all of Melissa’s self-control to keep from screaming beneath the gag.  No man had ever touched her there before.  As a matter of fact, no man had ever touched her anywhere.  Sexually, she was as pure as the snow outside the cabin.  She knew that she was on the verge of panic and that her heavy breathing was a clear giveaway as to her state of mind, but she could not control herself.  Already, her shirt and undergarments were soaked through with sweat, and beads of perspiration rolled down her stricken face and dripped onto her chest.

Featherstone’s hands moved lower.  Without unbuttoning her shirt, he pushed his fingers under the top of her bra.  “Splendid,” commented Featherstone, licking his lips. 

Melissa gasped audibly as his long fingers made contact with the nipple of her left breast.  “Like ripe raspberries,” he said. 

Gently, the English villain closed his hand over the pillowy softness, delighting in the feel of the ripe, firm young flesh beneath his fingers.  The entire chair rocked, as Melissa suddenly jerked her body frenziedly in an effort to escape his unwelcome touch.  The action merely served to excite him more, however, and removing his hand, he proceeded to rapidly open up the front of her shirt. 

“Splendid indeed.  I think you may be as well endowed as Miss Court.  Melissa trembled.  The eye of every man in the room focused on her chest.  Her heart was pounding so furiously that she was certain that it was clearly audible. 

A drop of sweat formed on her forehead, and ran down between her eyes, finally dripping form the end of her nose and falling between her breasts.

“Hot are we, darling?” asked Featherstone.  “Perhaps we need to remove a few more garments.

Only Melissa’s delicate white cotton bra afforded her any protection from the prying eyes of the men in the room.  Featherstone wasted little time in removing it, snapping the thin elastic the same way he had done with Larra’s. 

Melissa’s magnificent hemispheres positively burst forth from their concealment.  They hung there, trembling slightly like two large white pearls. 

“Magnificent,” commented Featherstone taking one in each hand and squeezing them as if he was trying to milk her. 

“Ooommmmppphhh!”  Melissa protested.  But her muffled cry of outrage merely stimulated Featherstone to continue with the disrobing.  By now, he had gone as far as he could without removing her from the chair.  Since Larra still occupied the tabletop, he ordered his men to untie Melissa from the chair and reposition her. 

The colour drained from Melissa’s face.  She felt positively sick.  She was being treated like a slab of meat and placed on display for all to see.  When Featherstone had placed his hands on her breasts she had though that she was going to die.  How could any man treat her like that?  She was absolutely mortified.

Featherstone’s men untied her wrists and ankles.  Then four of them picked her up bodily from the chair and bent her back across the seat.  Then, her wrists were bound to each of the chair legs on one side and her ankles to the legs on the other side.  Her body was forced backward in a tight arch that Melissa found very painful.  But now Featherstone had free access to the lower part of her body. 

“You bastard,” Melissa grunted, using an expression that she had rarely used before.  She was more helpless and frightened than she had ever been in her life.  Featherstone’s comments about and treatment of her body were terribly humiliating.  But she tried to put on a brave front, while feeling acutely vulnerable.

“I don’t think you know me well enough to comment on my ancestry,” Featherstone jeered.  “But soon we will know one another very well indeed."”

“No, stop!” Melissa pleaded as the Englishman began to unbutton her trousers, revealing her thin white undergarments.  She twisted on the chair, but there was little that she could do to prevent what followed.  Two men held her in position, while Featherstone finished unbuttoning her trousers and then unbuckled her belt.  Each ankle was temporarily untied so that her pants, boots, and socks could be removed.  Not content to leave a stitch of clothing on her, he took out his knife and slit the sleeves of her shirt and pulled the tattered garment from her body.

As she was slowly stripped, Melissa’s feeling of degradation increased.  The horror of watching Larra’s humiliation was replaced by the terror of her own.  But it was about to get worse. 

Featherstone placed his hands on Melissa’s flat belly and then moved them over her gently rounded abdomen, sliding his fingers down toward her white cotton panties.  “Now,” he said with a grin, “let’s have a look at a little Canadian beaver.  Gripping the thin fabric in both hands, he tore it from her loins.  Melissa’s entire body turned beet red as her most private parts were revealed to the assembled men.  “Absolutely lovely,” crowed Featherstone.  “I think it’s time to remove the beaver pelt.”

He picked up his razor and shaving mug.  He lathered the area around Melissa’s vulva, taking as much time as he could to draw out the experience.  Then he picked up the razor and began to shave her.

Melissa’s colour deepened, almost overcome with feelings of shame and rage.  She was positively mortified.  How could such a thing be happening to her?  Where were Sawatis and Lemaire?  Would they not return in time to save her from further humiliation?  Her eyes wide, she watched in horror as her pubic area was returned to the state it had been in her infancy. 

“Oommpphh!”  Tears of anger and frustration welled up as Featherstone placed his hand over her naked pubic region. 

“Smooth as a baby,” he said, giving her vulva a gentle massage. 

“Mmmmppphh!” Melissa was really frightened now.  She was being touched in her most private places and with a crowd of leering thugs looking on. 

She almost jumped out of her skin, when Featherstone inserted his middle finger into her tight crevice and began to rub it back and forth.  Melissa had to stop her back from arching, as her body reacted spontaneously to the English villain’s touch.  Instinctively, she longed to thrust her pelvis upward as her body did unconsciously what she dared not think about

“My god, she’s getting wet,” exclaimed Featherstone.  “We’ve got a randy little bitch here.”  He rotated his finger within her tight love tunnel. 

Melissa’s vaginal muscles contracted in an attempt to protect her from Featherstone’s probing. 

“Ah, would you believe she’s trying to bite me?” said Featherstone, deliberately misinterpreting Melissa’s reaction.  “I ought to take her right here.  She’s as randy as a ferret.”

Melissa clenched her jaw.  She was close to weeping in frustration and fear.  She was far from ‘wet,’ as Featherstone had put it.  It was just one more of Featherstone’s attempts to further humiliate her, and he was doing a pretty good job of it. Melissa had never felt so dirty and degraded.   

“Exquisite,” said Featherstone, removing his hand from Melissa’s genitals.  “Don’t worry, dear, I’ll get back to you, but there is something I want to do first.”    

He picked up Larra’s heavy leather belt.  He saw Melissa’s eyes widen in fear as he slapped it into his palm, but he was not intending to use it on her, at least not right away.  “Turn
Miss Court over and tie her so she can’t move,” he ordered.

Larra kept her face absolutely blank.  She knew what Featherstone had planned, and she intended to give him as little satisfaction out of it as possible. 

Under Featherstone’s supervision, she was bent over the table face first, her beautifully rounded bottom attracting the attention of every man in the room.  Each of her ankles was tied to one of the table legs, and then her wrists were untied and her shirt was slid off over her arms.  Her wrists were then tied together again, but this time over her head.  They were secured to the top of the table leaving her stretched tight across its surface.  Her taut derriere beckoned to Featherstone. 

“Remove her gag,” he ordered.  I want to hear
Miss Court scream.  And you will scream won’t you, my upper class beauty?”

Stoddard did as Featherstone had ordered.  Larra gasped as she drew in a lungful of air.  “Why are you doing this?” asked Larra.  “What possible gain is there for you in humiliating me and the girl?”

“Enjoyment, Miss Court, enjoyment.  I’ve wanted to take you down ever since I first laid eyes on you in Ottawa.  Now I’ve got my chance.  As for the girl,” he said as he leered suggestively in Melissa’s direction, “she’s just a bonus.  I get hot crumpet, and a little Canadian beaver.”

“Now,” he said, swinging the belt.  “It’s time to see if the great adventuress
Larra Court is as tough as she is rumored to be.  It is my guess that your bravery and fortitude has been exaggerated.  A little taste of the leather should settle the issue beyond doubt.  Feel free to scream as loud as you like.  I’m looking forward to it.”

Larra was stretched so tightly across the tabletop that her arms had almost been pulled from their sockets.  There was, as the saying went “no wiggle room left.”  She heard the swish of the belt arcing through the air, and then a loud crack as it struck her backside.  Simultaneously an incredible jolt of pain coursed through her body.  It felt as if the single blow had ripped off her skin.  Tears of pain and rage filled her eyes, but she kept her emotions under control.  Clenching her jaw, she called on her training and the meditative techniques she had learned to blot what was happening from her mind.

Featherstone’s mouth dropped.  He had expected the refined archeologist to shriek in agony, but there was not a sound out of her.  There was not even the faintest indication that he had even struck her. 

Melissa too was amazed.  Her admiration for her mentor grew even greater.  How anyone could have survived such punishment without even a sign of discomfort was beyond her understanding.  But as she saw, Featherstone was far from finished.  The suave spy swung the belt again, overlapping the site of the first blow.  Again, there was not the faintest indication of pain from Larra.  He struck again and again.  Sweat now beaded his brow from the exertion, but it seemed that he might as well have been flogging a corpse for all the reaction he was getting.  Finally in frustration, he tossed the belt to one of his henchmen.

“You take over, Stoddard,” he ordered.  Then he picked up Melissa’s trousers and pulled her belt from the loops.  He tossed it to Engles.  “Give Stoddard a hand.”

Melissa cringed as two men now laid into Larra.  Already her exquisite derriere was crisscrossed with two dozen welts.  How much longer could the proud adventuress hold up under such brutality?

Larra was wondering the same thing.  She was finding it more and more difficult to maintain her concentration.  She had managed to separate her mind from what was happening to her.  It was almost as if she was two persons, one undergoing agonizing punishment but insensible to the pain of the ordeal, and another calmly watching herself be tortured.  But each blow threatened to break down the separation of mind and body.  How long she could hold on she did not know, and if her captors discovered what she had done and disrupted her concentration, then she would be completely at their mercy.

Featherstone was growing more and more frustrated.  He had intended Larra’s flogging as an object lesson in punishment, but no matter how badly she was beaten he could not get a reaction out of her.  “Stop,” he cried.  He was determined to find out what was going on.

He stepped around to Larra’s head, seized her long braid, and jerked her head up.  “My god,” he exclaimed, “she’s not in there.”  Larra’s eyes were completely blank and unfocussing.  Drawing back his hand, he slapped her face hard, snapping her head sharply to the side.  Following through, he brought his hand back, cracking his knuckles across her cheekbone.  Then he repeated the process several times. 

“She’s out cold,” Featherstone said in stunned disbelief.

“What do you expect, you bastard,” thought Melissa, “after what you’ve been doing to her?”  She was still gagged or else she would have directed her comments to Featherstone with even more emphasis. 

Larra’s vacant eyes suddenly cleared.  Melissa saw her wince, as her senses returned, but other than that there was no recognition of the painful beating she had received. 

“The bitch is back,” said Featherstone.  “I think we better get on with things before she takes another leave of absence.”  He groped Larra’s lacerated backside as he spoke; noting with satisfaction the slight jerk as the pain registered on Larra’s restored senses.

“Now,” Featherstone continued, “finish her.  I want to see her jump.”

The two thugs laid into Larra with enthusiasm.  This time, Larra felt every stroke.  Within seconds her body trembled with the effort required to keep from screaming.  By now it was impossible to beat her without striking a part of her quivering backside that had not already been bruised or lacerated.  Her tormented flesh was swollen from the savage treatment.  Every additional blow increased the pain exponentially.  With a gasping sob, Larra broke.

“Aaaaggghh! Aaaaggghh! Aaaaggghh!”  Her screams seemed deafening in the tiny confines of the cabin.  Horrified, and almost sick with terror, Melissa could only watch helplessly, as the woman she had hoped to emulate was beaten and humiliated. 

Finally satisfied, Featherstone held up his hand to stop the beating.  “Enough.  Now the girl.” 

Melissa felt cold all over, and it was not due to the cool air blowing into the room.  She trembled visibly as Featherstone approached.  “Take the English bitch off the table,” the Englishmen ordered.  and make sure she is tied tight.  Don’t do anything to her.  I may need her later.  Bring the girl over to the table.”

Melissa’s legs almost buckled as she was untied from the chair and dragged toward the table.  Already, the whimpering figure of her mentor had been untied and hauled over to the bunk near the far wall.  Then Melissa lost sight of her as she was spread-eagled on the tabletop.  Featherstone himself supervised her binding. 

“Not too tight.  I want her to be able to thrash a bit,” he said. 

Melissa’s arms and legs were spread so that her body formed an X-shape on the tabletop.  She was lying face up and as Featherstone had instructed, a little slack was left in the ropes holding her in place, so that her arms and legs had some play. 

“Now, my little virgin,” Featherstone leered, as he removed her gag, “it’s time to see what a little Canadian beaver tastes like.”

From somewhere within her, Melissa found the courage to reply.  “You scum.  I’ll see you pay for what you’ve done.”

“Well, if I am to pay, then I better get my money’s worth.” 

Featherstone knelt in front of the table, positioning his head bent just in front of  Melissa’s jewel case.  He placed a hand on the inside of each of her knees, steadying her.  “I’ve never eaten beaver tail before, but I’ve heard that it is quite succulent.”  A chorus of laughs greeted his crude joke.

Melissa jumped as she felt Featherstone’s tongue touch her naked genitals.  “You pig,” she screamed. 

Like a dog, Featherstone gave Melissa’s vulva a long slow lick.  She shuddered.   He licked her again.  This time, the tip of his tongue parted her labia. 

“Stop,” Melissa protested, trying to maintain her nerve, “what you are doing is disgusting.”  She was very frightened.  Frightened of what Featherstone was about to do to her, but also alarmed at her own hidden reaction to what the Englishman was doing to her.  As his tongue turned aside the outer folds of her pleasure centre, she experienced a twinge of pleasure.   

Her breathing quickened.  This could not be happening to her.  How could she be aroused by the terrifying prospect of being violated?

Featherstone seemed to sense her weakness.  Slowly he circled the rim of her love tunnel.  His tongue seemed impossibly long and Melissa had to suppress a moan of excitement. 

“You like that don’t you my little beaver?  You’re pretty easily aroused for someone who pretends to be so pure and innocent.”

“No,” protested Melissa, “that’s not true.  Please stop what you’re doing.  Let us go.  We’ve told you everything we know.”

“I want to hear one more thing, honey.  Before I’m through I want you to beg me to make love to you.”

“That will never happen.  Never,
nevaaahhh!”

Melissa’s last response came unbidden as Featherstone’s tongue made contact with her tiny clitoris.  Ashamed, she bit her lip.  What was happening to her?  She was acting like a cat in heat.

Featherstone was really working her over now.  His skilled tongue seemed to find every crevice of pleasure that lay between the hot walls of her love canal.  Soon, to her absolute mortification, and acute shame, he had her panting like a dog, but she felt no passion, only carnal desire.  Her tiny love bud, with its 8,000 nerve endings stood up begging for attention.  And every time Featherstone’s tongue made contact she almost screamed.  

“What a randy little she goat,” Featherstone said aloud.  “She’s positively dripping she’s so wet.”

Melissa almost wept.  She was disgracing herself in front of a roomful of leering hoodlums.  She was filled with self-loathing.  After the bravery Larra had shown, her performance was disgraceful.

“Aaahhhaahh!” Featherstone was sucking gently on her engorged clit.  Desperately, she tried to hold on, but something overwhelming was happening to her body.  Something beyond her control. 

“Nnnnnn!”  Her vaginal muscles contracted in an unexpected orgasm.    A sob burst from her lips as she realized how completely she had been degraded.  Featherstone had sexually manipulated her, and she had been unable to prevent her body from responding in the most primal manner.  

“Well, you liked my tongue well enough,” said Featherstone in triumph.  “Let’s see how you like something a little bigger.”

Slowly and deliberately, the Englishman unbuttoned his pants in front of the still virgin girl.  Through her tears, Melissa gasped.  She had never seen a male organ before, and Featherstone was particularly well endowed.  

“No, she begged.  Please no!  You’ll hurt me!”  Featherstone’s formidable weapon seemed incredibly large and ugly.  It absolutely terrified her.

Featherstone moved toward her.  As he had hoped, Melissa thrashed on the tabletop, doing everything in her power to try and prevent him from taking her.  Although by now the temperature in the cabin was close to freezing, Melissa’s body glistened with sweat.  Her full breasts bounced as she tried desperately to escape.  Swollen with passion, her upper chest and quivering globes were flushed with blood.  Featherstone took one of her trembling hemispheres in each hand and squeezed hard. 

“Oh God!” The cry jerked out of her involuntarily.  But this time Melissa felt no pleasure, only pain and fear.  Even when Featherstone rolled her engorged nipples between his fingers, she felt only naked terror.  This was real fear.  And then she felt the hard touch of Featherstone’s rigid shaft at the gates of her pleasure garden. 

Melissa’s body spasmed in fear.  She had never felt such complete horror and disgust.  Featherstone’s huge, loathsome organ was about to penetrate her.  What a fool she had been to join Larra Court.  She had wanted adventure, not brutal violation and degradation. 

“You ready girl?”  Featherstone released her breasts, and repositioned his hands on her tiny backside.  Without waiting for an answer from his helpless victim he thrust forward.

“Eeeeaaahhhh!”  Melissa’s shriek of pain signaled the end of her virginity.  Her soft, wet, vagina had offered little resistance to Featherstone’s initial attack and he had penetrated her deeply.  Filled with a deep sense of shame, Melissa sobbed as her ruthless assailant continued his brutal attack.  But the loss of her virginity was just the beginning.  Taken for the first time, Featherstone’s organ seemed enormous.  It seemed impossible that all of it would fit inside her, but the brutal Englishman forced her to take all of it.  The pain was so great that Melissa felt as if her insides were being torn apart.  Again and again he thrust into her, eventually settling down to a steady rhythm as he plundered her treasure tunnel.  Melissa writhed beneath him, tears streaming down her agonized face.  How long was he going to keep up his assault?  What she was being forced to endure was unimaginable. 

Featherstone raped the weeping girl for a good hour before finally exploding within her.  When he was finished, the once tender virgin was exhausted.  But he was not yet finished with her. 

“Untie, her,” ordered Featherstone.  “And bring the English bitch over here.”

Still bound hand and foot, Larra’s beaten form was carried over to the table as Melissa was released.  As she was pulled off the table, Melissa fell to her knees.

“Very appropriate,” sneered Featherstone, standing in front of the weeping girl.  He reached out and grabbed Melissa’s chestnut hair.  “I am going to have
Miss Court beaten again.  This time it will not stop at a few dozen blows.  This time she will be beaten to death.”

“No!” wailed Melissa, horrified at the threat.  “Please don’t do that.  Please no.”

“No?” said Featherstone.  “Then only you can save her.”

 Melissa raised her tear-streaked face.  Featherstone’s flaccid penis dangled only a few inches from her face.  Sudden realization flashed through her mind. 

“Yes, Miss Gallant.  I want you to stimulate my staff to it former glory.  If you refuse, you will watch your mentor die.”

Melissa bowed her head.  Naked, violated, and completely helpless, she knew that she had no choice but to try and save the woman she admired most in the world.  She knew that Featherstone would not keep his word.   But she had to do what she could to keep Larra and herself alive.

“Now Miss, Gallant,” Featherstone said impatiently.  “Now.”

With a sob, Melissa raised her head.  Slowly and with great trepidation, she took Featherstone’s shrunken phallus in her hand.  She gave it a gentle squeeze, and then began to run her hand along it as if she was trying to milk a cow.  The Englishman gave a small sigh and then placed both hands behind her head, drawing her face toward his crotch.  Melissa knew what he wanted.  She parted her pouting lips and closed them over the end of the still dripping tip of his depleted organ.

“That’s it my dear, suck it, suck it.  Now swirl your tongue around it.  Now swallow the whole thing.  See it you can touch your tonsils.”

Featherstone’s phallus tasted of semen, Melissa’s own vaginal juices, and worst of all, her own virginal blood.  Almost gagging she forced herself to take all of it inside her mouth.  In its flaccid state, her mouth easily engulfed his entire organ. 

Under Featherstone’s expert and continual instruction, Melissa slowly revived the Englishman’s weapon.  It took awhile, a good half-hour in fact, but all the whole time, Melissa could feel it hardening and lengthening.  At the end of the half-hour, his erection was fully restored.  The massive member completely filled her mouth, almost dislocating her jaw each time he thrust into her. 

“Ah, Miss Gallant,” Featherstone crowed, as he finally withdrew his throbbing organ from her mouth, “you almost renew my faith in womanhood.  You seem born to such duty.  Are you sure that this is your first time?”

Melissa could make no reply to Featherstone’s sarcasm.  She had never thought that she could be brought so low.  What she had been forced to do was degrading beyond imagination.  But Featherstone was not quite finished humiliating her.  “Take the English bitch and do what you want with her,” he ordered.  I’m going to put this erection to use.”

Larra moaned in pain and terror, as several men laid hold of her and dragged her over to the cot.  A few feet away, Melissa gave a great sob, as Featherstone lifted her onto the tabletop again and spread her legs.  Her ordeal was about to begin all over again.

Melissa’s second rape lasted only a half-hour.  Featherstone did not have the stamina to keep it up longer than that, but it left her beaten physically and psychologically.  Her vaginal region burned from the brutal treatment it had received, and her breasts, especially the area near her delicate nipples were badly bruised.  When Featherstone pulled her off the table and bound her wrists behind her again, she could hardly stand. 

For Larra the ordeal was much longer.  Held down by four men on the tiny cot, she was forced to endure a brutal gang rape that went on for over three hours.  At the end of it, she was barely conscious.  Her brutalized body stank of sweat and semen and blood flowed from her ravaged vagina.

Melissa was forced to watch almost the entire humiliating ordeal.  She closed her eyes during the worst of it, when Larra writhed in agony as one more swollen phallus was thrust into her and her breasts were pinched and mauled by half a dozen hands.  At one time Melissa almost vomited, as Larra screamed as she was raped orally, vaginally, and anally simultaneously. 

The rape might have lasted longer, but Featherstone finally called as halt after every man had taken a turn.  When they were finished, they took no chances.  As the last man climbed off her, they lashed her arms and legs to the cot.

“Alright,” said Featherstone, as the last knot was tied off.  “It’s time to leave.”  He untied Melissa’s wrists.  “Get dressed.  You’re coming with me.”

“What about Larra?” Melissa gasped. 

“She’s staying here,” smiled Featherstone. 

Melissa shuddered.  There was something about Featherstone’s expression that sent chills down her spine. 

Closely watched, Melissa dressed.  To make sure that she did not get any silly ideas her hands were retied behind her back and a rope was looped about her neck and then she was led out of the hut.  The rest of the men followed, Featherstone being the last to leave after a delay of a minute or so.  Melissa wondered what the Englishman had been up to during that time.

“Let’s go,” Featherstone ordered, giving Melissa a shove.   Despairing, but with no choice, she allowed herself to be led away.

Larra groaned.  Only her tremendous physical condition allowed her to remain conscious.  She was badly beaten and hurt everywhere, especially in her nether region.  She tried to get up but found that she was tightly bound.  Attempting to see with eyes that were almost swollen shut, she suddenly tensed.  She was alone in the cabin, but she was far from safe.  Five feet away, sitting on a chair, was a burning candle.  A rope had been tied to the chair so that it was just below the flame.  The rope ran from the back of the chair to a beam in the ceiling, and tied to the other end of the rope was a bucket.  A strong odour of kerosene filled the room.  It was a simple but deadly mechanism.  In a few moments the candle flame would reach the rope.  A minute or so after that the rope would burn through, releasing the bucket of kerosene.  Flammable liquid would splatter everywhere.  The entire cabin would become a raging inferno and
Larra Court, the great adventuress, would die a horrible death by fire. 

Larra’s mind raced.   There must be something she could do, but she had so little time.  She strained every muscle, but the ropes that bound her wrists and ankles did not give a millimetre; nor could she loosen the ropes that tied her to the bed.  Featherstone must have known this, of course.  That was why he had remained behind to check on her before he left.  She could imagine him laughing at her as her made his escape.  It would no doubt appeal to his sadistic nature to think of her struggling in vain as the last few minutes of her life ran out.

She did not quit, but several minutes of straining at her bonds convinced her that she would be on fire before she could loosen the ropes enough to escape.  Featherstone and his men had simply tied her too well. 

Think Larra, think!  There must be a way out.  Had she survived all of the deadly predicaments she had found herself in during her adventurous life only to end up being barbecued in a wilderness cabin while tied to a bed?

She glanced at the candle.  The flame was now a minute away from burning the rope.  For a second Larra almost panicked.  If she had, she would have thrashed on the cot in wild desperation.  But it would have gained her nothing.  The knots would not be any looser and she would have wasted her last chance to escape.  Instead, she calmed herself.  There must be something she could do.  And then she had it.  There was one thing she had not tried.

The ropes, she knew, could not be loosened.  At least not without a lot more time.  But the cot might be another matter.  The crude bed had creaked each time she had strained at the ropes.  It was her only chance. 

She began to shift her weight back and forth.  At first, the bed only creaked slightly.  It was wedged so tightly against the corner of the room that its joints only moved a little.  But within a few seconds Larra had managed to bounce it far enough away from the wall, that the bed frame was moving back and forth a good three inches. 

She kept up her efforts.  The cot was now twisting back and forth four inches, then five, then six.  But the candle was now burning the rope.  She had only seconds left.  She gave a final convulsive lunge.  There was a sharp crack as the bed frame broke.  She felt the ropes holding her slacken.  Hurriedly, she slipped her hands and feet from her bonds.  At that moment the rope holding the bucket burned through.  There was no time to make it to the door.  But the window was only two feet away.  With the last of her strength, Larra launched herself against the shutters, and in a shower of splintering wood flew into the snow outside.

Sawatis and Lemaire were not in a good mood.  They had spent most of the day at the terminal in
Yellowknife inspecting the supplies they had ordered.  Due to some complication, another man was there, claiming the supplies were his.  It had taken hours to clear up the mistake.  The damned officials at the terminal had been most reluctant to take their word over that of the other man even when they had the papers to prove it.  Trudging back to the cabin on the outskirts of town, they were looking forward to seeing the two beautiful women who employed them. 

Sawatis nudged Lemaire, who was walking with his head down against the cold wind.  He looked up.  Just ahead, behind a screen of trees, but exactly where the cabin should have been was a thick column of smoke.  Both men broke into a dead run.  As they rounded the trees, the two men saw to their horror that the entire cabin was engulfed in flames. 

“God!” thought Sawatis, “Melissa, Larra!”  Then they saw a solitary figure sitting near the burning cabin.  She was completely naked.  As they neared her, she turned her head.

“What kept you two?” Larra asked calmly.  She looked at Lemaire.  “Jean, may I borrow your coat?”


A few miles away, on the other side of
Yellowknife, Featherstone heard the ringing of the fire bell.  He smiled in satisfaction.  “Looks like Miss Court is cooked,” he said, turning to Melissa.  “Good thing I brought you with me.”

The girl turned pale.  Then she gave him a look of hatred and contempt that made him glad her hands were bound behind her back.  Featherstone congratulated himself on taking her with him.  It was going to be most enjoyable breaking her spirit.
