Don shook his head slowly and regretfully. "I'm afraid not." The first rays of the sun caught at something metallic in his hand. Maria looked at it. He was holding a gun as inconspicuously as possible at his side. So it was all over, she thought. Eva's life was out of her hands now. She could do nothing.
Chapter 9
Maria caught her breath and thought again. There was something she could do. She could defect to the Communists and go back to Hungary with Eva. The idea stunned her and overwhelmed her at the same time, but she dare not let Don see the sudden change.
"Wait here. Maria." Don told her. "I'll make it as quick as possible. She's still asleep, isn't she?" Maria nodded. He stepped past her moving swiftly towards the tent. There was no time to analyze her feelings. It was now or never!
She tensed her fingers straightening them in the karate position. Then she leaped forward, chopping the man viciously across the back of his neck as he stooped to move into the tent. He fell forward against the canvas sliding off it to the ground unconscious before his body slumped into the sand.
Quickly, Maria stepped over him. Eva and Sandra were awake staring at her as she entered and began to dress. Ignoring Sandra. Maria said: "Get your clothes on, Eva. I'm taking you back to Hungary. They're going to kill you and we haven't much time!"
The urgency was communicated to Eva and the girl hurriedly dressed, shooting frightened glances at Maria. When they were both ready, Maria snatched up their bags and grabbed Eva's hand.
"When Don comes to tell him I'm sorry!" she said to Sandra. "He won't understand, but tell him they can't treat people as if they were puppets… not all the time, not the way they've treated me."
Against her better judgment and all common sense, Maria had landed in Nice to pick up Magda, Eva's maid. True, it was the last place Don would think of looking for them, but it was running a tremendous risk of discovery. Still, Eva said she couldn't leave the girl alone. Magda was probably being questioned (or even tortured) by the other Communist bodyguards who would suspect that the girl had something to do with the plot to kidnap her mistress.
And so they had taken a cab to Eva's hotel managing to get to the room Eva shared with Magda without incident. Eva went in first and Maria heard her give a loud sigh of relief. She put her head cautiously around the door. Eva and Magda were embracing and the room seemed to be empty apart from the two girls.
Maria sidled in, being careful to lock the door behind her. From her smattering of Hungarian, she could make out that Magda had been questioned by the security agents, but they had accepted her story that she knew nothing about Eva's disappearance.
Eva introduced them and Maria took Magda's hand and clasped it warmly. The girl was very attractive, she thought, appraising Magda's full, young figure. And she felt a moment's jealousy as she realized that Eva had, of course, known the girl very intimately.
"We must go," she said brusquely. "We can't waste tune. The plane will be re-fueled and ready to go by the time we get back to the airport."
Eva was listening to Magda who had begun to whisper quickly in her ear. She met Maria's eyes, looking rather mysterious. "Darling Maria," she said. I'm sure another hour won't make any difference. You see, Magda tells me that she has finished making a costume for me. I want so much to try it on!"
Maria stared at her in disbelief. "You can't be serious!" she exclaimed. "Every minute counts, yet you want to try on a damned dress!" She almost stamped her foot with impatience. "And you want to take a whole hour over it! You must be crazy! Come on, we've got to leave right now!"
"Oh, please, Maria!" Eva was like a child, pleading to be allowed to stay up late. A husky, little-girl tone crept into her voice. "It's something very special, something I've been looking forward to for so long! And it isn't exactly a dress, you know? It's much more exciting than that."
Maria could see that Eva was extremely anxious to show her the "something very special," and despite herself her own curiosity was aroused. "All right, then," she relented. "But please hurry up. Just try it on and then take it off again, We can't afford to waste time."
Excitedly, Eva hurried into the bedroom with Magda. Two minutes passed. Maria fidgeted nervously, glancing at her watch every few moments. At last the girls emerged again-and the garment Eva had been so eager to try on took her breath away.
It was a completely transparent piece of stretch nylon which fitted the beautiful girl's body so tightly that every part of her was visible. Yet the material fastened snugly around her neck and covered her entire body, coming like a body-stocking over her legs to end in stockings so sheer that her toe-nails and even the faint beauty spot just below her knee could be seen plainly.
Eva looked ravishing! Maria's eyes traveled slowly up and down the girl, taking in the sexy outlines of her crotch and breasts. Everywhere, from her toes to her neck, the material hugged her otherwise naked body with possessive, tingling tightness. Eva posed provocatively for her, turning so that Maria could admire her rear view; where the rounded cheeks of her buttocks were set off to perfection by the clinging tan hued material.
Magda stood proudly in the background, her eyes going from her mistress to Maria. She had worked hard to complete the bizarre costume for Eva and this was her reward-to see how adorable the girl looked in it.
"Come and feel it," Eva invited. "Come close to me, darling. Put your arms around me and touch me… touch me all over!"
Maria felt herself moving as if entranced towards the nylon-encased girl. Her hands went out and she passed them around Eva, feeling a shock of sudden, electric excitement as her fingers stroked the sheer material. She ran her hands slowly up and down Eva's body, realizing that her buttocks were even more alluring and sexy with their coating of sleeky nylon.
Eva stood quite passively, hands at her side, while Maria caressed her. Her eyes felt heavy and she let them close. Everywhere, the garment encompassed her. It pressed into her crotch, drawn up tightly into the lips of her cunt. It swathed her breasts like a second skin, making her baby-nipples perk as stiff as they were able. It hugged her buttocks, constricting the cheeks with a lifting, constraining pressure that made them feel very precious and prominent.
Only one thing was missing; the feel of a really naked girl to press up against her, her flesh merging and rubbing against Eva's erotic "dress".
"Maria," she whispered. "Take your clothes off, darling! I want so much for you to be nude and rub your body into mine!"
Magda came quickly up behind her. The girl, probably sensing, what was required rather than understanding Eva s words, began to unzip Maria's dress. Maria let it fall to the ground. Magda unhooked her bra, slipped it over her shoulders, then turned her attention to Maria's panties.
Something inside her was preventing Maria from protesting that they should hurry. She felt (the image rushing unbidden to her mind), like a fly caught in a spider's web, transfixed, unable to see, knowing that to struggle would only make her prison more secure… "
As Magda peeled her panties off, Maria felt the maid run her fingers lightly over her buttocks and down the backs of her thighs. Mouth dry, Maria said "Don't you think Magda should undress too?"
Eva nodded gravely. It was as if the girls were taking part in some ancient, ordained ritual. She whispered something to Magda and the girl quickly removed her own clothes and stood at Eva's side facing toward Maria. The latter girl put her body against Eva's again, this time feeling the full significance of the silk on her now-naked flesh.
She urged herself forward into Eva, making the girl move slowly backwards. Together, locked m a tight embrace, they glided into the bedroom, Magda following closely, Marla kissed her silken lover and put her tongue between Eva's lips, working it sweetly into the girl's mouth and licking intimately around Eva's teeth, Easily, unhurriedly, the girls sank onto the bed and started to rub and caress each other's bodies.
