Gillian kept her eyes firmly on the wall, a display board showing conjunction words, and tried to let her mind leave her body. ‘I can get through this’ she kept telling herself over and over again. ‘I can get through this.’ She blocked out his words of gloating from behind her. She was brought back into herself by the SLAM of a desk drawer being shut. It made her start and jump and left her heart racing and suddenly she was more aware of the room, and her state of undress, and her undignified position.
The slow beat of his footsteps on the floorboards set her on edge. It was like a slow drum-roll of a prisoner being led to the execution block. She forced herself to keep looking ahead, but her shoulders tensed and she couldn’t help her head drifting millimetres to the side to try and catch a glimpse of her approaching doom.
The sudden touch of something hard and rough on her leg made her gasp and tense all over again. Her eyes closed and her head dropped as the object, something wooden and flat, was moved slowly up her thighs. Her breathing was ragged and irregular, and she could feel his body heat and hear his breathing just outside of her field of vision behind her. She gulped and quivered as the object came to rest on her buttocks.
The words were slow and deliberate, like knives digging into her. She knew exactly what he wanted her to say, but she couldn’t, not just like that.
“What? No! No I am not!” she replied indignantly. This time, however, there was no hope in her defiance.

“Are you a slut, Mrs Cheswick”
