Victoria's Black Knight

Victoria stared at Shawn from beside the pool table, unwavering and unblinking, the older, young man matching her gaze from across the room, blocking the entrance hall, and the only exit. Her eyes scanned his face as her mind trying to comprehend his presence and the things he was saying. Dustin lied to her again, those were his words, but Shawn wasn’t exactly one to be trusted. He’d always been a jerk to Dustin and a creep towards her. The whole time she dated Dustin, anytime they were near Shawn, he would be checking out her tits and ass, licking his lips like some hungry, wild animal.

Not that Dustin was to be trusted lately either. He’d already lied once about knowing that she was coming to the cabin. So, had he lied again? She couldn’t believe that he would, not after seeing how angry and hurt it made her the first time. Not now that she had given him this second chance. And what was the lie? Had he not come into town to buy her a present? Was his life in the new town better than he’d made it out to be? Did he know that film was practically porn before buying the ticket? Had it all been a scam to get her to agree to come back here with him? Had he finally succumbed and followed Shawn’s advice, to take what he wanted from her if she wouldn’t give it willingly, knowingly? Victoria had so many questions. She wanted to look to Dustin, to gauge his expression but she knew better than to take her eyes from Shawn. Even if he was telling the truth, she knew he wasn’t doing it out of the goodness of his heart.

“Since you seem to be in a state of shock, and can’t speak, I’ll tell you what you want to know,” Shawn said, smirking and smarmy as he leaned sideways against the wall. “Dustin orchestrated this whole date. Kendra followed you this morning, so he could ‘accidentally’ bump into you and he had us kidnap your boyfriend, to keep him out of the picture while he woo’d you.”

“What?” Dustin said, shaking. “That’s not true. This was your plan, Shawn, and you said you were just going to distract him, not kidnap him.”

Victoria’s forehead creased as she thought. “Boyfriend?” she repeated, slowly. “You must mean Gavin.”

“Right. As per Dustin’s orders, he’s tied up in a warehouse,” Shawn nodded, almost laughing. “All so my little bro here could fuck you without any interruptions.”

“That’s…that’s not true. I’ll admit, I did lie again, but it was only another little white lie because I was afraid of how you’d react after last night. I didn’t want you to know that Shawn was still feeding me information from Kendra. Not willingly, I might add. I never asked for it,” Dustin explained desperately from Victoria’s side. She didn’t look at him, keeping her eyes trained on the older brother, but when Dustin reached out to take her hand, she snatched it out of his grasp. “Please, V, you have to believe me. Shawn’s twisting this. He rang me up today and said you were in town and that if he distracted the boyfriend, I could ask you out on a date, and I could apologise in person, which he said would be better. But there was no ****, no expectations, just a date and an apology.”

“Oh sure, you brought her to dad’s apartment to apologise.” Shawn sneered. “Looked like she was really forgiving your apology when I came in.”

“You gave me the key! You said ‘just in case things go well’, but I might have known you’d made a spare,” Dustin snapped, clenching his hands into fists, though Shawn remained relaxed and unthreatened. “All you ever do in life is screw me over.”

“Oh, it’s not you I’m trying to screw over,” Shawn replied lewdly, his eyes looking over Victoria’s body, his main focus being her mostly exposed tits, the nipples hidden behind her hands.

“The rangers were preparing for a scientist coming this morning,” Victoria remembered, speaking to Dustin at her side, but still watching Shawn with two serious, green eyes. “How did all this happen if you were supposed to be there?”

Dustin looked away as he confessed to another lie, “I…there wasn’t time, so I had to skip out on it. Shawn asked me what mattered more, some internship with a bunch of park rangers or a second chance with you.” He turned back to Victoria, falling to his knees by her side. “It’s you, V. It’s always been you. I’ve done some questionable things, and I’ve listened to Shawn too much, because I had no one else, but it was all to get back to you. You’re the only thing that matters to me anymore.”

“What is it with boys and thinking that they have to do all this stupid shit to live up to some ideal in my head. Just this morning, Gavin tried to play me the same tune, acting like he could sleep around and make it out like he was trying to be some experienced and confident new man for me,” Victoria growled, her arms tightening around her body as she grew more impassioned and frustrated. “All I want is someone who can be honest and love me. But even that seems like too much to ask for.”

“I’ll be honest at least,” Shawn offered, smirking again as he made an obvious display of reaching down and fixing his cock within his jeans. “That’s gotta count for something.”

“In your dreams,” Victoria shot back, but remembering Dustin’s words from the cabin the night before. That if Dustin wouldn’t have sex with her, Shawn would. Her body trembled.

“Well, the night is young. There’ll be plenty of time to make dreams come true,” Shawn shrugged. “But I did warn him that this wouldn’t work.”

“Liar!” Dustin barked, from the floor. “You said no such thing.”

“I told you to be direct, to persevere even if she said ‘no’, I told you to stop treating her like a princess and start treating her like the whore she is, and there wouldn’t be a problem,” Shawn said casually, as if the ‘princess’ wasn’t standing right there, being degraded by his words right in front of him. “I told you that if you wanted to fuck her to just fuck her and stop pussying around with this manipulative shit.”

“Manipulative shit? This was your plan, and it’s still your plan, because I know you. You always planned to swan in here and make out like you were some noble knight rescuing her from me,” Dustin accused, standing now and point a finger at his brother. “I keep telling you, I didn’t want to fuck her. This wasn’t a scam to get her into the sack. I just wanted to say sorry.”

“You wanted to say sorry by lying to her again?” Shawn chuckled, a grating, boastful laugh that just made Victoria want to rip out his tongue. He looked at her and hooked his thumb at his younger brother asking, “Can you believe him? If he didn’t expect or want this to happen, tell me this: why did he take the key?” But he didn’t wait for an answer, spinning it his own way immediately. “He always wanted to fuck you. Either he’s still lying to you or he’s lying to himself and either way, he’s too much of a pussy to admit it.”

Victoria chewed her bottom lip, considering all that had been said, all the facts, all the fiction, and the truth somewhere in the middle. Shawn was right, Dustin had lied, though he likely wasn’t as complicit as Shawn was making out. It was much more likely that this was Shawn’s plan, just as Dustin had argued, it had all the hallmarks of the older Lewis brother. And yet, Shawn had hit on some undeniable home truths. Deep inside Dustin, he had known that this was a possibility, he’d known that lying to her could get her here, with her top off and his cock in her hand as it had been only minutes earlier. Honesty, even if he’d told her what had happened at dinner or after the movie, he might have won her heart but he knew he’d lose the chance to have sex with her tonight. And he made his decision.

The only question left in Victoria’s mind was, “where is Gavin?”

“With Kendra,” Shawn stated matter-of-factly. “But he won’t be harmed. His only part to play was to be kept out of your way, and now that’s done, he can be let go. Though, I wouldn’t expect to go running into his arms, looking for comfort and respect. He heard everything.”

“Everything?” Victoria recoiled, scrunching her nose at how or what Gavin might have heard.

“I bugged Dustin’s phone,” Shawn revealed, “and we…”

“That’s how you did it,” Dustin snarled. “I wondered how you knew to be here right on time.”

“…heard all your greatest hits,” Shawn continued undeterred. “Such as…” He put on a high pitched, girly voice, “‘I will always make time for you, Dustin.’, or ‘fuck him’,” he added a mocking, feminine giggle to the latter before continuing. “And my personal favourite, Victoria the saint getting fingerfucked at a porno.”

“You…you heard that,” Victoria’s eyes went wide. “He heard that?”

“Yup,” Shawn replied cheerily, smirking and nodding. “But really, I did you a favour. The sooner all these men realise you’re just another little slut, the sooner you can drop the innocent façade and be the pretty little cum-rag you were born to be.”

Victoria was disgusted and offended and without a second thought, she stormed towards the door, grabbing her tank top and bra on the way. Shawn didn’t move, until she was right beside him, almost passed, the door out of the room in sight. He gripped her forearm, turning her towards him.

“Let go,” she struggled against his hand, feeling his fingers digging tighter into her skin. “I’ve heard enough. I’m leaving.”

“Without saying thanks? I just kept you from making a big mistake with my brother,” Shawn leaned in close, his smirk taking on a twisted, ugly sneer as she felt his hot, heavy breath against her face. “Don’t you think you ought to show me a little appreciation before you go?”
