Lost In The Snow Ch. 02

In Part 1, Eric and Katie had become lost in the snow during a hike. They had found shelter in a cabin with an older man, but he had exacted a hard price from them in exchange for help.

*

I'm not sure how long I had been kneeling on the ground but I suddenly looked up wondering what was happing to my lovely wife in the bedroom with Sam next door. I didn't really want to think about, but at the same time I had to know. I crept over to the door and listened. It was thick timber and I couldn't hear much just an occasional sound of people talking but I couldn't hear what was being said.

After a period of silence I heard a sharp cry which was quickly cut off. I knew exactly what it was. It was the same cry of pain she gave when I took her virginity. I couldn't stand the flood of lurid images this sound produced in my head and rushed into the spare room and lay on the bed feeing utterly miserable. I had got us into this predicament by my stupidity. It was all my fault. But he was a bastard and I would get even.

I lay there for a while listening to the sound of my own breathing when I noticed a faint slow rhythmic knocking sound coming from behind the bed head. I looked around perplexed and discovered it coming from a timber beam which ran the length of the room. I lay on the bed and listened and it stayed the same for about 10 minutes then the knocking got faster and louder. It suddenly dawned on me, to my horror, what the sound was. The beam ran the full length of the cabin into Sam's bedroom. It was the sound of his bed hitting the wall as he fucked my wife.

I held the pillow over my head but I couldn't block out the sound. It just went on and on, faster and faster, my mind tortured with the thoughts of what was happening to her. Finally after what seemed hours, but was probably only 15 or 20 minutes, after a very loud series of rapid bangs it slowly subsided to silence.

I had a fitful sleep that night being woken a few times by more banging sounds coming through the wall. It seemed like he was pounding her all night.

I must have finally fallen asleep sometime because I woke with a start to find it was about 9 am and I could hear sounds coming from the kitchen. I peered out through the door and saw Sam in the kitchen humming to himself with a smile on his face while cooking breakfast .

I walked out and he looked up said, "good morning Eric, breakfast will be ready soon, Katie is having a shower, she'll be out in a bit."

I wordlessly sat at the table and he dished up a big plate of ham and eggs and poured a coffee.

Katie walked out of the bedroom ten minutes later and sat down at the table while he served her breakfast, then he joined us. She was avoiding my gaze and just stared down at her plate while she ate in silence. Sam talked away about the cabin, the area and weather. He was positively chatty compared to last night and far too cheerful for my liking.

After we had finished eating he cleared up the table and took the plates away to the kitchen and started to wash up. Katie looked up at me from the table with a sad expression and said, "I love you, just remember that Eric." I asked her if she was ok and she just nodded her head. Looking at her left hand I noticed she had a new wedding ring on her finger, not the one I gave her 18 months ago. He had really taken her as his wife and consummated the marriage last night.

Sam came back to the table and said, "looks like the weather has really set in, it must be below zero outside and there has been 2 feet of snow already. It's piling into drifts in this wind. This is real stay put weather, better get used to being here for a while. We have plenty of supplies but there is not much to do here. There are some books to read, there's music and some movies. Just get comfortable and relax and don't go getting cabin fever."

I said "but people will start to worry about us going missing"

"Nah, last night before the roof antenna got covered in the snow I used my sat phone and told the local sheriff you were all ok. He is going to contact your next of kin. I told him you would be safe here until the weather eases."

"Can I use the phone please Sam. Maybe someone can come up and rescue us."

"Sorry Eric, the phone doesn't work when the antenna is covered in snow. But anyway, they wouldn't risk it because they know you are safe up here."

Depends on what you mean by safe I thought to myself grimly. I resigned myself to being marooned for days without the warmth of my dear wife next to me in bed, and worse to come.

We spent the day mostly reading. Katie buried herself in a book and didn't say much to me. By mid- afternoon Sam announced that we needed to stock up on firewood for the night so he got rugged up and headed out the door. The blast of icy wind that hit us as he left made me realise leaving was not an option.

This was the first privacy we had since yesterday and I went and knelt next to Katie and held her hand. I gingerly asked her what happened last night. She said, "I don't want to talk about it much Eric if that's ok."

"Did he hurt you?"

"Only a little at first, he was actually very gentle and went slow to begin with until I got used to him."

"What do you mean get used to him?"

"Well Eric, Sam is, you know, a bit bigger, and I'm not used to that."

"How much bigger?"

"Eric a lot, just forget about it ok."

"What did he do to you?"

"You can guess what happened Eric, don't ask me for all the details."

"How many times, just tell me that."

"She looked at me defiantly and said four if you must know," and marched off the bathroom.

Sam came back in after a while with a pile of firewood, he split them and piled them up next to the fire. Then he said, "think I might have a short nap." He went over to Katie and whispered in her ear then went into his bedroom. Katie continued to read for five minutes then stood up, glanced directly at me, then walked into his bedroom and closed to door. Not satisfied with fucking her all night he was having afternoon fucks as well!

I just sat there in shock. You read some stories where guys get off having their wives fucked by other men. Well I was definitely not one of them. I tried to keep reading my book but just got stuck staring at one page.

After about an hour the door opened and Katie walked out, went back to her chair without a word or a glance at me, picked up her book and started reading again.

The next two evenings were a repeat of the previous, they retired about 9 pm and I was kept awake by the sound of their bed knocking on the wall half the night. Once when they were obviously hard at it I couldn't help myself and crept up to their door and listened. I could hear the bed rocking then a low moaning sound obviously from Katie. I listened transfixed as I heard her start calling out "don't stop, don't stop, please don't stop." I just slunk away back to my room and lay there trying to think of a way to get even.

The next day it was still well below freezing outside and the wind was still blowing hard. I hatched a plan, I couldn't beat him by strength but I would out think him.

Sam went outside in the late afternoons to stock up on wood. I took my chance, when he went out I locked and barred the door from the inside with a log. It was a strong heavy door and be would never be able to break inside. The windows were shuttered too, there was no way back inside. The bastard could freeze to death outside.

Katie's reaction totally surprised me. "What on earth are you doing he will freeze Eric, unlock the door."

"No way, he can die out there for all I care, good riddance to the arsehole"

Sam started to bang on the door and yelling to be let in. I went and called out through the door, "go fuck yourself in hell you bastard."

Katie said, "Eric stop this right now and she went over and started unbarring the door."

I dragged her away saying, "what are you doing, he's been raping you every night, let him die."

"No, no, you can't , please Eric let him in I beg you."

I dragged her away from the door and she struggled with me but I was stronger. I pushed her onto the ground away from the door. She just sat on the ground pleading with me to open the door. I just ignored her.

After a while the banging and yelling stopped outside and there was silence outside. Katie just kept whimpering on the floor.

I sat down relieved it would be over soon. He wasn't very warmly dressed, I figured he wouldn't last more than an hour out there when the sun set. I was thinking about making a nice dinner to celebrate when a trapdoor opened in the floor and out jumped Sam. He was covered in snow and looked cold and really angry.

He leapt onto me in a flash and held me by the throat and lifted me into the air with one arm. "Eric I told you before if you did anything stupid you would be punished so bad you would prefer to be tossed out into the snow and freeze to death. You just tried to kill me, and you're going to pay.

Katie jumped to her feet and pushed between us. She put both her hands gently on Sam's chest and spoke soothingly, "Sam don't hurt him, please I beg you for my sake. Put him down, just put him down, please for me. You know he's a man, he had to try, you would if you were him. You know that."

Sam put me down and loosened his grip and said, "killing me is a bit drastic don't you think. Lucky for me there is an outside door into the basement, not that it was easy to dig out the snow to get to it.

Ok Katie, for you I won't physically hurt him but I will still punish him real bad for that." Looking at me he said, "from now you stay locked in your room," then he frogmarched me over to the room and tossed me in saying "your punishment for that is going to cause you exquisite pain." Then he locked the door.

An hour or two later the door opened and Katie brought in some dinner. She sat with me while I ate and said, "I've calmed him down Eric but please don't do anything like that again."

Scornfully I said, "just how did you calm him down Katie." She just looked away and said nothing, while absentmindedly fingering her 'wedding ring'.

"He is really a good man underneath you know Eric. His wife and children were killed by a drunk driver in a car crash about 2 years ago. He is really still just grieving for his family, lonely and angry with the world.

Anyway, Sam said there may be a break in the weather in the morning so we might be able to leave. Hang in Eric and remember I love you, with him it's just sex." With that she picked up my empty tray and walked out the door."

I just lay on my bed for a few hours waiting for the nightly knocking on the wall to signal another fuck session with my wife. Suddenly a flat TV screen on the wall I had not noticed before sprang to life. It was set into the wall and covered by a thick layer of Perspex. Sam's face appeared on the screen and he said, "I told you your punishment would be exquisite, just watch, listen and enjoy, and don't worry she can't hear you."

I realised the picture and sound was coming from a camera in his bedroom.

Katie walked into the room and sat next to Sam on the bed, then I realised the full horror of what I was about to happen as I watched.

She climbed onto his lap and put her arms around him and rested her head on his shoulder and hugged him. "I'm never going to forget you Sam, I finally feel like a real woman at last. I never believed sex could be so good. I don't know how I will be able to give you up. Eric is a good husband, but he just doesn't move me like you do. If it's going to be our last night together, I don't want to sleep, I just want to lay naked with you, hold you, and feel you inside me all night. Will you do that for me Sam?"

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I thought he'd been practically raping her every night. She had told me it was just sex, but in reality she was a very willing participant.

Sam looked into her eyes and said, "before I make love with you tonight I have a strange tale to tell and at its end you must make a choice. When I was a young man I travelled the world looking for the meaning of life. I wound up in a Buddhist temple high in the Himalayan Mountains. There I met a blind monk who they said could divine the future. He talked with me for many days and studied the stars. Then he proceeded to tell me about all the significant events which would happen in my future life. I was very sceptical about it all but I wrote down what he said later.

Katie, all of the things he told me, including the death of my family, have come to pass. But, there are a few prophecies left to unfold."

He handed Katie an old piece of paper which she proceeded to read.

After 5 minutes Katie looked up at him startled. "Yes that is right, he said that one day I would give shelter from the cold to a raven haired girl, and on my 40th birthday I would conceive a son with her. As soon as I saw you I knew that it was you he had foretold."

"Katie, today is my 40th Birthday!"

Katie sat silently for a few minutes until Sam spoke again. "There is one other thing, as I left the monastery the Monk gripped my arm and said this to me, "your future has many possible paths my son. For some it will be up to you to choose which path to follow. You can avoid some of these futures if you choose, but there is one I beg you to follow. You must conceive that boy. In his lifetime he will be bring peace and harmony to a troubled world. The other path will bring great suffering to the world."

"Katie, I could not make you part of this without your knowledge. So the choice of which road we will follow now is yours."

Katie sat thinking for a few minutes and then said, "what is the final part of the prophecy then."

Sam said, "I do not want to tell you that one just yet."

Katie looked into his eyes the kissed him tenderly on the lips then smiled and whispered in his ear. He smiled back and kissed her passionately and held her tight. I feared the decision she had made.
