Chapter 16

Belivanis held his hand out to me, as if asking permission to dance. I had rudely turned my back on him the last time, he was trying a more polite approach this time. I turned back to look for Sasha but she had returned to our table and was talking to Bobby. Lester was pretending not to look, but I could tell my every move was being watched now. I sneaked a peak up to the heavens but Ranger was no longer at his station. I turned back to Belivanis with a smile and took his hand.

He pulled me to him and placed his hands lightly on my hips then started to grind me to the music. I put my hands on his shoulders but didn't wrap myself around him as I had with Lester. Belivanis was just over 6ft but in my heels I was his equal, if not an inch taller. He had broad shoulders but felt quite soft, in fact he had a bit of a paunch, but then he was just a typical Greek male. He wasn't a great dancer, preferring the method of just swaying to the music and banging his hips at me. I was glad when the song was over.

"Would you like a drink?" he asked me slipping his arm around my waist and leading me from the floor towards the bar.

"Thank you, I'd like that" I said smiling sweetly. I was going to ask for a coke but he ordered two Jack Daniels passing one to me.

"I noticed this was your drink of choice last night" he said. "You seem much more demure tonight" he said rubbing his hand up my arm.

"Give me time" I said moving my leg against his and trying to fight a wave of nausea. This job would have been much easier if he was hot like Lester or Ranger, but he wasn't. He wasn't completely pug ugly but the fact that I knew what he was capable of, and the faint smell of body odour emanating from him, was making it difficult to use my charms on him.

I knocked my JD back in one and gave him, what I hoped was a stunning smile. But to me if felt like a grimace. It obviously worked as he moved his hand from my arm down to rest on my backside. He ordered me another JD.

"Can I have some diet coke with it this time" I asked Zero who was serving us. The straight JD was burning the back of my throat and I was hoping that Zero would take the hint and not give me any alcohol this time. I needed a straight head now. I took a sip of my drink and smiled at Zero. It was just plain coke.

"You are not from around here are you?" Belivanis asked with a thick Greek accent.

"No I'm just visiting from Scotland" I said. This was something I hadn't really thought about, coming up with a cover story. I was surprised Ranger hadn't either. I decided the best course of action was to rub myself against him and excuse myself to the ladies room. He gave my backside a squeeze.

"I'm just going over to get my bag" I told him indicating the table I was sitting at. "I'll be right back". I headed around the dancfloor and down to our table. I found my bag which was under the seat Lester was sitting on. I bent down to grab the bag and Lester bent down at the same time, pretending to help.

"You're doing great Gorgeous" he whispered and quickly gave my hand a squeeze. I stood up without making eye contact. If I looked at him I wouldn't want to leave him. I turned away and gave Sasha a brief hug and waved at the other girls. They had no idea what was happening, they just thought I had pulled and was off to sit with my new date. Bobby gave me a wink but held a serious expression on his face.

I walked back round in the direction of the bar but took a left over to the bathrooms. Tank was standing just outside the gents bathroom and gave me the tiniest of nods. I went to the ladies and did what I had to do, and gave myself another layer of mascara and lip gloss for courage. How make up can make you feel brave I'll never know.

Sasha came in just as I was about to leave. "Ranger wants you to suggest going back to his place as quickly as possible, to get this over and done with. He's says you're doing great and to hang on in there" she gave me another hug then headed to a cubicle.

I swallowed back my nerves and headed back out to the bar. I wasn't feeling scared, but I was feeling a but apprehensive about the journey to his 'place'. He was far too touchy feely as it was, I was just hoping he was going to be too busy driving to let his hands wander. Unless of course we were going to get a cab. I would soon find out though.

I had just exited the bathroom door when an arm grabbed me and pulled me to the side. I was expecting Tank or Ranger so was shocked when I looked into the chocolate brown eyes of Joe Morelli.

"A word of warning honey" he said voice low. "Don't go anywhere with that guy, it won't be good for you".

"Mind your own business" I said turning my back on him.

He grabbed me back towards him. Where the bathrooms were situated I couldn't see the dancefloor and Tank was no longer outside the gents. I knew Sasha wouldn't be long and if Morelli didn't let me go Sasha would go back and tell Bobby and they would be all over us.

"Listen, you're obviously not from around here. I don't know how you know Santos and Brown, but believe me you're better sticking with them rather that the asshole you just picked up" he let go of my arm but moved to stand in front of me so I couldn't get back to the bar. I took a step to the side but he sidestepped as well.

"I don't know a Santos and Brown" I said "But if you are talking about the guys who have made themselves at home at my table, they're not my type" I said glaring at him.

"You sure looked comfortable dancing with Santos earlier. Or maybe you should go back upstairs and try it on with his friend again". This guy hadn't missed much. I hadn't realised he had noticed me at all now it seemed he knew my every move. I didn't think he knew exactly what I was up to, but it probably wouldn't take him long.

"He wasn't my type either" I said trying to step past him again.

"Maybe I'm more you're type then". Suddenly Morelli wrapped his arms around me and pulled me to him, while pushing me over towards the fire exit doors.

"What the fuck do you think you are doing" I shouted at him. I could see Zero at the bar talking on a cell phone. The shit was going to hit the fan any second now.

"It's for your own good, just trust me" he whispered in my ear.

I could see Lester and Bobby heading towards us, thunderous looks on their faces, but they held back when Belivanis appeared. Sasha came out the ladies room just as Tank rounded the corner and ushered her away from the scene.

"Let me go Morelli" I said quietly. "You are going to screw everything up". He let me go and looked at me in shock. He was just about to speak when Belivanis caught up with us and grabbed Morelli's shoulder roughly spinning him round to face him.

"You wanna tell me what the fuck you are doing with my womanl" he said, then recognition hit him as he looked at Morelli.

"You're a cop!" he shouted looking back and forward at Morelli and me. I was going to have to do something in case he thought I was in with Morelli on something.

"A cop" I shouted "You should know fucking better then, grabbing a lady like that" I grabbed Morelli and pushed him away from Belivanis so I was standing in between the two. I looked at Morelli and mouthed 'I'm sorry Joe' before I kneed him in the balls. He wore a look of complete shock, before his face went bright red and he doubled over. I quickly grabbed Belivanis and swept him away back towards the bar.

"How about we head back to yours?" I purred in his ear. "It's getting a bit claustrophobic in here tonight!"

"Sure thing darling" he said sticking his hand up the back of my corset.

I glanced back over my shoulder as we left. Bobby, Tank and Lester weren't far behind me, and they were all grinning. What the fuck! How was this situation funny?

We exited out onto the street where a stretch limo was waiting. Great, I would be sitting in the back with him. He must have called ahead to his driver as he was parked in a no parking zone so couldn't have been sitting there all night. I looked across the street and could see Ram sitting behind the wheel of the SUV. I couldn't see where the others were. Belivanis stepped in front to open the door for me, then climbed in behind me. I had hardly sat down before he was on me, trying to stick his tongue down my throat.

"Hey tiger" I said pulling away. "We've got plenty of time, what's the rush?"

"You're right" he said pulling a bottle of champagne from an ice bucket and pouring me a glass. He handed me the glass and rubbed my leg up and down.

"So is your friend okay with you leaving with me tonight?" he asked.

"Oh I only just met her here last night" I said. "I'm staying with another friend but she couldn't make it tonight".

"So what time is she expecting you home?" he said trying to work his hand up under my skirt.

"When I get home" I said.

Belivanis sat up suddenly and moved over to speak to his driver through the window. I quickly poured my champagne into the ice bucket. I wasn't a big fan of champagne but it always got me really drunk. He came back and tried to nuzzle my neck. I tried to act if I was enjoying myself. If I tried to fight him off he would either throw me out the car and ruin everything, or he was going to get rough. I think it was more likely to be the second option.

His hand was well up my skirt now and he was sucking on my neck. I tried to moved round so I was facing him and get his hand back down but he pinned me back in my seat. His hand was now moving round to the front, trying to get a finger in my panties. This was too much. This I hadn't be warned about and I'm sure Ranger couldn't have expected me to go along with this. But what else could I do now?

I tried to push his hand away but he grabbed my arm and put my hand to his crotch, where he was rock hard. If he thought I was going to rub his dick he had another think coming! I moved my hand up to his chest instead. His hands were now both working on the fastening of my corset while his mouth was working its way down my shoulder. I felt a stab of pain and realised he had bitten the top of my arm.

"Hey" I shouted. "Take it easy". I tried to push him off again but he just laughed.

"Playing hard to get darling" he said as he practically straddled me. He was getting frustrated with the hook and eyes fastenings and was beginning to rip them off instead.

"Look can we just wait till we get to your place" I said trying to reason with him. "I just bought this I don't want it ruined already". I swallowed down the bile that was rising in my throat and gave his crotch a quick rub. He let out a small groan and sat back in his seat.

"We are almost there" he said with a hint of anger now. He shouted in Greek to his driver as we sped around a corner. I knew a little Greek from holidays on the Greek Islands but the only word I recognised for sure was 'bitch'. Okay so most of the words I had learned was the sweary ones!

We suddenly drew to a stop and I expected the car to be bombarded with Merry Men. But there was nothing. Belivanis opened the door and climbed out. I tried to open my door but it was locked, so I had no choice but to follow him out. He grabbed me round the waist and gripped me tightly, as if sensing that I would try to escape. I looked around but there was no sign of any SUV's following. Where the hell were they? Looking around I could see we were in some kind of industrial estate. Belivanis pulled me towards a small decrepit looking warehouse, while his driver sped off.

"I thought we were going to your place" I asked nervously.

"This is where I take all my whores" he replied tersely.

"I'm not a fucking whore" I shouted back angrily.

"Oh come on you haven't even asked me my name, and I don't know yours. Please don't tell me you were planning on starting a meaningful relationship. This is such sex and you know it bitch". he spat back at me.

I tried to get free from him but suddenly all my energy seemed to have gone and my legs were feeling heavy. I was struggling to keep my eyes open too. Belivanis just laughed at my plight.

"That champagne is working then?". Had he drugged me? At least I had only had a few sips. God only knows how out of it I would be if I had drank the whole glass. I realised he hadn't taken a glass. The whole bottle must have been drugged. I shuddered thinking what happened to the girls he took here. They wouldn't have known anything about it.

He walked me quickly over to the entrance to the warehouse shoved me inside. It was dark and I couldn't make out anything. We went up a flight of stairs and through a door into a long corridor. He pushed me into a room and he down onto a shabby couch. The room was like a living room, with a couch diagonally along one wall and armchair opposite. There was a television and a small side table to the side of the couch with a lamp and an empty ash tray. The room was long and the other end narrowed. A table and four chairs sat at the other end of the room. If you didn't know you were in a warehouse you would think this was someone's home.

I tried to gather my strength and moved to the corner of the couch. Surely Ranger and his men would be here now. It was obvious this was his final destination. My hand went to crystal pendant and I felt the first tendrils of fear clench my insides when I realised it wasn't there. It must have fallen off somewhere when I was struggling with Belivanis. I hoped to God it was in the warehouse.

Belivanis came over and sat beside me. He started to rub his hand up and down my thigh again. He must have realised the drug hadn't worked to its full effect yet, he was maybe biding his time. He gradually worked his hand up higher to my breasts and tried to slip his hand under the tight fitting corset. Again he tried to work the fastenings and managed to undo a few so his hand could in. He tweaked a nipple and I thought I was going to throw up. I tried to lift my arm to fend him off but just didn't have the strength.

"Just go with it, enjoy it" he breathed as he started kissing my neck again. He left my breast and roughly pulled my skirt up, ripping the split even higher. His calloused hand caught my thigh highs and I could feel the sheer material start to rip. He got his fingers in under the thin material of my panties and I screamed out. This was all going so wrong. How could this be happening? I looked around for a way out of this and my eyes rested on the heavy crystal ashtray. If I just had the strength to pick it up. It was within easy hand reach. Belivanis removed his fingers but started to roughly rip at the thigh highs with one hand, and pull at my corset with the other. He bit down again on my shoulder and I finally found some ounce of strength from within. I picked up the ashtray and brought it down as hard as I could on the back of his head. He yelled in pain and fell to his knees on the floor, where he lay without moving.

I managed to get myself on to my feet but didn't think I would be able to stand for long. I had to get out of the room away from him and hopefully find the Rangemen, or anyone who could help me.

Suddenly Belivanis stood up, holding the back of his head. He pulled he hand away and looked at the blood on his fingers.

"You bitch" he screamed and he lunged for me. He slapped me hard across the face and I could feel my lip burst against my teeth. I managed to get a kick to his crotch before he punched me to the side of the face, my right cheek felt on fire and I felt myself falling. He started kicking me in the stomach so I tried to get into a ball but I was seeing stars now and I was fighting to stay conscious. He yanked my head back by my hair and slapped me again.

He had lost control, and I had lost all hope.

What has happened to Ranger and his Merry Men. Will they get there in time to save Carla. Will get back to you as quick as I can. Reviews make me work faster!!
