Tears stung her eyes and dimmed her vision.

"Where are you going this time?" Gary asked angrily.

He was such a vulgar man. His eyes were vulgar, his speech was vulgar, even the expensive-looking suits he wore had a vulgar air. She wouldn't stay and be insulted by this man. She wouldn't allow him to do anything to her.

She reached for the door, handle but it turned by itself. Maggie opened the door and gave her a shove back into the room. Tracy watched unbelieving as Maggie closed and locked the door and then stood with her back against it.

"I thought you might try running out," Maggie said. "Well it's no good. You have to stay and face the music."

"I can't," Tracy said.

"You will," Maggie said. "Because you're not leaving this room until he's finished with you."

"You can't mean that," Tracy said.

"I do mean it, though," Maggie said. "You're not leaving until he's done with you."

Tracy thought about rushing her sister and jerking her out of the way but she gave up that idea quickly. Maggie had always been the strong one and Tracy didn't like the look in Maggie's eyes. There was a hard glint there and that meant Maggie might actually enjoy fighting with Tracy.

Tracy backed up until she was in the center of the room again.

"Please don't do this," Tracy begged her sister. "Take your clothes off," Maggie said. "Take your clothes off and show him your body."

There was no mercy in Maggie's face. Tracy shrugged her shoulders and slipped out of the blouse once more. She reached behind her back and unsnapped the bra. It was hard to raise her shoulders and slip the bra off. She could feel her heart beating faster than it ever bad before. She dropped the bra to the floor.

"Goddamn," Gary said softly. "A beautiful pair. Simply beautiful."

"They are nice," Maggie admitted. "Now the rest of your clothes."
