Chapter 1

Raquel Bells looked at her boyfriend and shook her head. "Seriously Fred, a week away? I mean you know I'm no outback girl." She dreaded his bright idea about them going to spend a week in seclusion.

"Raquel, you are always saying that I don't make an effort, I'm making an effort. Come on." She really did not want to go. But he did have a point. She was always going on and on about him not doing much to improve on their relationship.

She meant sex... Raquel hated to admit it, but the sex was mediocre. She wanted more, she needed more substance. More force, more man. He was a gentle lover, he was a sweet, loving and caring man. He was not the most adventurous of men. Still she was nice. But nice did not get her and orgasm.

So she agreed, they packed and headed off to his little hideaway house in the middle of nowhere. Like literally in the middle of nowhere.

Raquel had to admit the place was beautiful. He had gone to so much effort to make it look nice. Still at this point, after hours and hours on the road, the last things she cared about was how nice the place was. Tomorrow she would look around and take it all in.

Two days... It took her two days to get sort of adjusted to the wilderness air. It was so creepy here, there was a lake on his friggin land. Ducks, and everything. Raquel had no idea how this week was going to pass. She prayed for some excitement. Anything was better than being locked away with her sort of really boring boyfriend that she loved. He was a gem, but well sometimes a little on the boring side.

Seriously Raquel, your twenty four, you should be adult enough to tell Fred that it was just not working out for her sexually, she needed more. After this trip she was going to sit him down and tell him that they should try other things,ways to make sex more exciting. She could not do it anymore. She needed something more. Like maybe a fucking orgasm or two.

"This weather is bad..." Fred said making her cringe. It had been a week and they were due to go home. The weather was horrific. Storms, lightening and the thunder lit and shook the earth. It was really freaky to watch.

Being out here in the middle of nowhere with no form of civilized life did not do much to make Raquel feel better. It was scary as hell. Every sound was heard, every creak, every water drop. It was like this big old empty house was full of ghosts.

So it would seem that they could not head back. The fire place burning as they sat down and looked at each other. "This was not the way I wanted it to go." He said sounding so forlorn.

"Fred... I think... I appreciate the effort, really I do, but I don't think..." He nodded his head.

"Yeah, figured you were gonna say you want to end us." She drew in a breath.

"It's not that hun, it's just maybe we can be a little more adventurous.In the sex department." That done now it was really awkward. It was like he really had no idea she was not finding any pleasure. Was it really not that obvious?

Luckily somebody was at the door, that sort of broke the silence, they both looked at each other in alarm. Fred hurried to the door and opened it. And oh my god, a man and a woman holding a limp man.

"We need help... We had a car accident." The lady said. Fred nodded and moved out of the way allowing them in.

Raquel ran and grabbed them a towel. They were soaking wet. She watched as they placed the man onto floor. Fred went to assess him. "It's okay, I can help. I've done a first aid course. Raquel go get me the first aid kit." She hurried to do what he asked.

It turned out the man on the floor was shot. In the shoulder, very close to his heart. Raquel got a sickening feeling. Something was not right. The other guy was pacing the room. He had light brown hair, eyes the colour of the sky, so blue.
