Crystal tried to push the man away, but he was like a brick house. "You can't escape," he said. "But if you show these dogs a little enthusiasm, we'll let you go."
Behind the lights, Crystal could hear Richard laughing. He sounded like a madman or a villain from a comic book, like The Joker or Madcap.
"If you are good to the dogs, they will be good to you," the man continued. "They don't want to bite you. They only want to fuck you." Crystal wrapped her arms around her knees.
Even fully dressed, she felt completely exposed..
She looked at the two Tibetan mastiffs with their big mouths, sweaty tongues, and swollen members, and her whole body began to shake.
"Take off her clothes," Richard said.
The man grabbed Crystal's shirt to pull it over her head, but in her fear, she turned into some kind of spastic beast. Her body flopped all over like an epileptic having a fit. Her face contorted into a rictus of pain, and from between her gritted teeth, there came a shrill, high-pitched screech: "screeeeeeecchhhhhhh!
Richard nodded to the other men, and four of them stepped forward. Each one took an arm or a leg, and they pinned her to the cot.
Once she was incapacitated, Richard sighed, and he mockingly asked her, "Why are you fighting? My dear, if you hadn't wanted this, you wouldn't have behaved the way that you did." He turned to the man that had put her on the bed and said, "Anyway, I hate to see a woman cry. Why don't you knock her out? The dogs don't care if their lover is conscious, and they are getting impatient."
Crystal didn't need to be knocked out, though. After hearing what Richard had said, she promptly passed out. The men quickly stripped her clothes off, and then the dogs were let off their leashes.
The two Tibetan mastiffs pounced on Crystal's naked body, and they immediately began to sniff at her pubic mound.

Crystal dreamt that she had been dropped out of the sky into a deep and dark valley, and the fall seemed like it would never end. Eventually, though, her body hit the ground, and she woke up.
Every part of her body ached. She slowly opened her eyes, and when she realized where she was, she began to cry. She was the only person in an empty and cold warehouse. The iron door was still closed and likely locked. She was naked except for her socks, her body was bruised and bloody, and her head ached.
Suddenly, she heard a noise coming from the chair where Richard had been sitting. She turned her head and saw that there was a laptop sitting on it. A video was playing on the screen. She saw herself on it, naked and lying on the cot she was currently on. There were two dogs, one on either side of the bed, and they were sniffing at her wet core.
Crystal squeezed her eyes shut and began to scream, and she didn't stop screaming until she'd screamed herself horse and passed out from exhaustion.
When Crystal woke up again, the first thing she did was slam the laptop shut, and she refused to reflect on any of the pain she was feeling or on the ordeal she'd gone through. If I am going to get out of this alive - she realized - I am going to have to pretend that none of that happened. I need to quit freaking out and start using my head!
Crystal struggled to sit up and then stand. She saw her shoes sitting neatly under the chair, and not wanting to bend down, she forced them on without undoing the laces. The rest of her clothing was nowhere to be seen.
Suddenly, she heard a key click into place in the metal door, and she turned in that direction, horrified. The door opened slowly, and the light filled the warehouse as Nathan stepped into it. Crystal's heart leaped with joy. Free at last! - she thought.
Crystal began to walk towards Nathan, but she began to feel dizzy by her second step, and her vision began to go fuzzy. "I'm g-g-gonna fall," she stammered.
"Oh, no, you're not!" Nathan exclaimed. He rushed forward and, just before she hit the ground, he got his arms under her, and he caught her. He picked her up and kissed her forehead. He saw cuts and bruises all over her body, and he said, "My baby girl, what have they done to you?"
Crystal tried to reply, but no words came out, and when she thought about what had happened, she was so ashamed that she didn't want him to know anyway. She wrapped her arms around his neck and silently wept.
Nathan: "Let's get you home."
***
At the Beverly villa - Crystal sat on her bed and allowed her to be subjected to Dr. Phillips' examination. He checked to make sure nothing was broken and that there was no internal bleeding. He took blood and urine samples and did a complete rape kit on her. Dr. Philips was their family doctor, but he had brought a female physician with him to make her feel more comfortable.
When the doctor was done with the examinations, he turned to Nathan and said, "There are 23 wounds on Mrs. Davis' body. Some of them are more severe than others. The worst of them are dog bites, and she will need to have a rabies shot."
When Nathan heard this, he was so angry that he kicked the coffee table, and when it hit the wall, the glass shattered into a million pieces.
Crystal was still in shock, and when she saw how upset Nathan was, she thought she must have done something wrong. "I'm s-so-sorry," she stuttered.
Nathan frowned and said, "No, I am the one that should be sorry, and I am. I should have been there sooner. This is entirely my fault." Crystal was trembling, and he asked her if she was okay. When she didn't reply, he turned to the doctor and asked him what was wrong with her.
"This has been very tough on her," the doctor replied. "Be gentle with her. It will take time for her psyche to heal. We can't imagine how traumatic getting assaulted by dogs must have been for her..."
Nathan clenched and unclenched his fists in rage as he thought about what had happened to Crystal. "Whoever did this to her," he said, "is going to pay. Big time!"
