When Mick had told Sophie he had brought her something shiny for her birthday, a pre-owned off roader hadn't been what she had had in mind. She couldn't believe that he had brought it for her, a red shiny 4x4 jeep with a touch of rust but still it was hers! But no matter how much she loved it, she couldn't help but wish it was some other kind of shiny object he had brought her. Sophie knew though that she would never get that from Mick, it just wasn't him.

Standing outside their house on the dusty, sandy ground of the outback, Mick stood there grinning widely as she stood there in shock looking at her new vehicle, waiting with anticipation for the shower of love that he was expecting to follow.
"Oh wow...Mick...I...its lovely" She gasped both in amazement that he'd buy such an expensive gift for her and maybe also as horrible as it might sound...disappointment.

Mick shrugged his shoulders as if the gift was nothing, what he was really waiting for was the voluntary affection that no amount of victims could ever replace or fake. He knew what it was like now and when victims tried to fake voluntary sex to try and save their own skins, it just made him even more angry and they died all the more violently.
"Thought then you can go where you like, don't have to rely on me to take you" He explained.
"What a...an amazing thoughtful gift" She said smiling, now she would be able to see her friends and family whenever she liked instead of only being able to go when Mick was either not at work or not too drunk.
"Just make sure you carry enough gas!" Mick said seriously "Don't wanna end up rescuing your ass from being eating by dingoes" Sophie nodded and smiled at Mick's way of saying that he cared about her and didn't want her being hurt. "And another thing, rule number one of the outback always make sure you leave a note or tell someone where you're going, that way if you run into trouble I'll be able to find you easier" Mick said his tone deadly serious, the outback was dangerous and not something you took lightly.
"I'll be fine I'm not a child" She chuckled, walking up to him and wrapping her arms wound his stomach.
"Hmm you didn't grow up round here, the outback's tough girlie" He grumbled, he hated how Sophie as a city girl didn't really fully understand how dangerous the outback was. He was unsure whether he had done the right thing in buying her the jeep or whether he had just added some extra danger to her life.
"Awww is Mick the deadly pig shooter worried about me?" She teased "My sweet, silly man" Sophie smiled, tiptoeing to kiss him. "Thank you so much I love it" She said kissing him again.
"You owe me girlie" He laughed giving her a wide mischievous grin. Last year she would have been terrified by both that remark and by that smile, but now she knew exactly what he meant by it and it sent shivers of anticipation and excitement run through her body.

Mick took her hand and pulled her inside the house and then into their bedroom; he closed the door behind them and gave her a wicked smile.
"Show me how much you love the jeep girlie" He grinned, Sophie bit her bottom lip. She loved how Mick made her feel, like she could be as bad and as dirty as she liked without a care in the world. Slowly she walked up to him and cupped him in between his legs with her hand, Mick's breath caught in his throat.
"What do you want Mick?" She whispered in his ear, she heard him give a deep throaty groan as she rubbed his cock through his jeans.
"Show me girlie" He groaned "Show me how much you like it" Slowly Sophie undid the zip of his trousers as she bit her bottom lip, not taking her eyes off his face, his eyes were closed and his mouth slightly open. She loved to see the enjoyment in his face and then she sunk down to the floor on her knees. Mick gasped and threw his head back at the amazing feeling as she took him inside her mouth. God he loved how she made him feel, no victim ever made him feel the way he did with her.

Sophie was always worried whenever Mick went to work pig hunting. He had been doing it since he was a young lad and she knew he was well experienced but she couldn't help but dwell on what would happen if something went wrong. She always had visions of him having an accident or being attacked by an animal, stranded and helpless in the outback with little water. The fact that she now had the jeep just in case of such an event brought her some comfort, that if he was hurt she could find him.

That night she had woke up in the middle of the night with a start; she bolted upright in bed and was covered in a light sweat. She had had a dream about a dead koala and in Australia that meant bad luck. In the morning as Mick got dressed in his jeans, blue vest and red checked shirt, she pleaded to Mick to delay his work just for a few days. She had a horrible feeling something bad was going to happen to him. But he just laughed at her superstitious mind.
"Mick seriously, you're not as young as you used to be. I'm worried one day you're going to get hurt" She said sounding full of concern.
"Sophie, when I get back and I'm fuckin' your brains out we'll see who's getting old" Mick growled, he gave her a kiss on the forehead and told her he would be back soon before driving off in his blue Ford F100 truck. She was glad that he'd left her a note of the area he would be, but she still prayed to God her dream was wrong!
