As Beth closed the door all the kids looked up at her. They were all wondering what that was all about, and what was with the letter that she was holding. Sadie noticed that her dress looked strange. It was like it was not on straight now, and looked like one of the buttons was buttoned wrong while another was not buttoned at all.
Sadie thought back to when she had first come home from the visit with her dad and entered the room. She didn't remember her mom looking like that. Sadie thought that if she had seen her looking that way, she would have said something to her about it. It did not make sense to her at all. It looked like she had taken off her dress, but they had seen that she never moved away from the door. Sadie had noticed that the dress was stuck in the door when she shut it, and she almost opened the door a little to get it unstuck. But she knew that her mom had to have a reason for not getting it unstuck and would have done it herself if she wanted it loose. Sadie knew that she had been hiding all of us kids, and thought that it was because of Stan, and the fact that he was trying to get them.
Sadie looked closer at her dress and noticed that it was a lot more wrinkled than it had been before, and now it was hanging crooked on her. It was not like her mom would ever take her dress off out there in the hall in front of a stranger. Sadie wondered if the guy who had been calling for her had tried something or messed with her dress. She looked up at her mom and she could see that her face was flush. From the way that the guy had been calling so insistently, and now she came in with something. It didn't take Sadie long to figure out that he did something to her and forced her to let him.
Sadie had thought that her mom was just being overdramatic before, but now she was thinking that maybe she wasn't. Sadie moved over to her mom and whispered into her ear that her dress needed checked and needed to be straightened.
Beth blushed and was not sure what to say to her. Sadie called the others to gather around the bed so that Beth could explain the letter. That gave Beth a chance to look in the mirror and straighten and rebutton her dress. As Beth looked in the mirror, she couldn't believe that she had made the mistake of buttoning her dress wrong, but she had been in a hurry to get it back on. At least none of the other kids noticed anything.
Beth knew that she was going to have to talk to Sadie about this, but it was going to have to be more than just what happened. She was going to have to tell her about all the men in this place. It was like they were all acting like wild animals fighting over the women because there were so few of them there.
Now more than ever Beth found herself wishing that she had left Tommy and Sadie behind. But then again, if she only had Tina, Lina, and Allen along with her she didn't know if she could protect them. Now she was wishing that she hadn't brought any of the kids with her or not even come at all.
Beth felt an even more powerful feeling of helplessness set in. If she had not come here and brought them then the two could have kept working. She could have started doing something to bring in some money, but she knew that no matter what, she could never have made enough to keep the house and the children fed. Their only hope was still to get Rodger out and back working.
Beth wiped away the tears and put a fake smile on her face. She didn't want to distress the kids any more than they already were.
Allen called out, "Come on Mom we are waiting. What did you get?"
Beth said, "Daddy had someone bring us a letter."
With a concerned look on her face, Sadie thought I wonder just what it cost you to get it.
With Beth saying Daddy all the kids perked up and got excited they had not heard from him since he left looking for Gina and Katie.
Allen asked, "Did it say he found Katie?"
Beth said, "Just hold on I have not even read it myself. I will read it to you all."
Beth reads, "Beth, things have changed since you came here. Forget what I said about you coming back in here to see me. I need to see you more than ever and make sure that you dress sexy for me. I am missing you so very badly and didn't realize just how much I need you until you left. I have a plan to help get me out of here and back to your loving arms. I can't tell you now just what it is. Who knows who will see this note so I will tell you in person. So, hurry and come back tomorrow."
Beth noticed that he didn't mention the children or anything as the kids looked up at her she pretended to read, "Make sure to tell the kids that I love them and miss them all badly I hope they are all well and I am working hard to get back to them as fast as I can. All my love hugs and kisses to you all. Roger "
Sadie looked at her and could tell that she was no longer reading things that he had written. Even though all the kids had given Rodger their love it seemed like he never bothered to love or even care about them. The children were just a bother and an expense that he really didn't want or need. As she grew and got older, she found that he was on the creepy side as well. He would not give the girls all the privacy that they should have had. Sadie was glad once she hit 18 and then after Gina's parents died and Gina was there, he seemed to mostly lose interest in the other girls. By that time, she knew that it was better to be ignored than to have his attention.
Sadie looked at her mom and couldn't for the life of her ever figure out what her mom saw in him. But as a small child, she thought that she remembered that he was nice and did nice things for Beth. He even took the two kids with him when there were just the two of them shopping for a Mother's Day gift. By the time Tina was born he no longer gave Beth anything as a gift. In fact, he wouldn't do anything for her or the kids at all. He just didn't want any part of it. He would sit there while the gifts that mom had gotten the kids were opened. Sadie would sometimes get to help pick out the gifts for the smaller kids so that he didn't have to do it.
Sadie heard him at times taking credit for the gifts the neighbors had gotten them. She knew that the money that they had was tight and the others didn't care who had gotten them the gifts. But she had seen the neighbors give them the gift for her that she had been asking for and then never received it. Sadie found out that her best friend had gotten it instead and they had gotten it from her dad.
It had made her cry for a long time knowing that he had taken something that she really wanted and sold it off for a little bit of nothing. But then made sure that he had gotten extra things for himself with the money. She had not told the others when she had noticed that they only had about half of the gifts that the neighbors had dropped off. Sadie had always wondered if she should have but she didn't want to hurt them and knew how much it was hurting her knowing.
Without a word, Sadie went to her mom and gave her a loving hug. The sadness that she was feeling was overwhelming her with the thoughts she had been thinking and the hug just seemed to make it better. Beth got the hug, and it touched her heart and was amazed since Sadie had not been close to her for years. It seemed like she had grown cold and distant becoming moody around Christmas. Beth knew that it was slowly getting worse, but she had so many others to care for. Sadie was older so she would have to find her own way. But Beth was hoping that she understood that she was always there for her.
At first, Beth thought that it was just that she had been missing Rodger or that it was just that she was becoming a woman. Beth remembered her youth and the mood swings that she had and the way that she had pulled away from her own mom. As Beth hugged Sadie she could tell there was more to this than a simple hug there were more emotions coming out of her. Before she could ask Sadie anything here came all the rest of them. They all gathered around her with the smallest hugging her legs and about knocking her down.
Allen looked up at her and asked, "Can I go with you?"
Beth thought about what she had seen at the prison and knew there was no way that any of the kids were going in there. The fact was that when Rodger told her to stay away it was a relief to her that he didn't want her there. But then her mind shifted back to that big guard and the desire to see him again. Beth closed her eyes and remembered walking past the guard and felt his long cock up against her arm. A shutter swept through her body and the fact that Rodger had asked her to come back, and not only come back but to wear something sexy for him. She couldn't help but blush as she thought about wearing something sexy in front of the guard.
Beth said, "The prison is no place for children. It is just way too dangerous for any of you."
Beth looked through the dresses that she had brought with her, and they were almost as bad as the one that she had worn in there already. When she had packed, she made sure that she didn't bring anything along that was sexy or revealing at all. She didn't want to give anyone the wrong ideas. But now she needed one. She didn't know if she could get one, not knowing if they had any dress shops on the island or the fact that she didn't have a way to pay for it if she could find one. Beth looked at Sadie, the girl was a little smaller than she was, and her chest was a lot smaller. If she could get one of Sadie's dresses on it would be very tight and look short, and her cleavage would be sticking out a lot more than normal. It would be just what she needed. If she could find one that she could squeeze into.
Beth turned to Sadie and said, "I hate to ask this of you, but could I borrow one of your dresses?"
Sadie looked at her a little confused at first and then asked, "Are you seriously going back in there?"
Beth tried hard to stop thinking of the guard so she wouldn't blush, and said, "Your father said that he has a plan to get out of there, and you know that we need him."
Beth said, "You and Tommy stay here, the others go play."
The three went over and started playing so the others could talk. Beth said, "You know that we are struggling, and the fact of the matter is that we have used up everything that we had left. Without your father, we wouldn't have a home or even enough to eat. It will not take long before they take the home. I have sold off everything that we had that we could part with, there is just nothing left to sell. I am grateful to you too for working and bringing in the money that you have, but it is not enough. I have no choice but to go in and see just what your father has in mind."
Tommy said, "We can try to get more hours or something."
Beth gave him a hug and said, "When we get back, we will do what we can. Even if I have to work and leave the young ones alone until I get back.
Sadie would not say anything. She had heard some of the schemes that her dad had planned in the past and wondered how he had stayed out of prison this long. Sadie took a close look at her mom while thinking about the clothes that she had brought with her. Most of the things that she had brought would be so tight on her that either they would cut off the blood flow, or as soon as she moved, they would rip out. There were two that she had that her mom might be able to squeeze into, but they were not going to be hiding much of her, and they were going to make her breasts look even bigger.
Beth said, "Well Sadie, do you have something that I can borrow just for tomorrow?"
Sadie said, "I have a couple that I think you can fit into, but you are not going to like them. I normally don't even wear them because they are kind of revealing."
Beth knew that they had to be bad, and then thought about one of them that she had seen Sadie in before. It was something that she would wear just to piss the two of them off when she was mad. It was not a dress it was a blouse and a short skirt a very short skirt. Beth knew that the top would not work even though she wanted it to look tight it was going to show it was too tight and that she had more of a belly than her daughter had making her look fat instead of sexy.
The second was better. Because at least it was a dress and was just slightly bigger. It still was going to be skintight. In fact, it was going to be pushing her belly in and lifting her chest even more. She couldn't help but think that she was going to be looking like a call girl in it. But it was either that or one of the plain ones that she had brought with her that he had asked her to wear something else.
Beth found herself wondering if he really wanted to see her in something this sexy. It was not like the big guard had even wanted to let him touch her before. But as soon as she thought about the big guard, she felt herself start getting wet, and wondering if he would just pass her off to another guard this time having someone else take her away.
Beth thought that she better at least try it on. At first, Beth really had a hard time keeping her breasts in the dress. Her breasts were just too big and were just too much for it. She wound up leaving off her bra so that she could fit in it without popping out. Beth knew that it was going to show everything as the temperature was on the chilly side and her nipples would be hard just from that not counting the way that the guys were making her feel.
Once she was able to get the dress on, she looked over at Sadie and asked, "How bad does this look?"
Sadie made a face.
Beth said, "For a moment I need you to forget I am your mother and pretend that I am your friend, and it is important that I look as sexy as I can. Please help me."
Sadie took another look at her and pretended that she was her best friend and said, "Well the dress is very tight and shows that you have old ladies panties on. That makes it look bad if you don't have any smaller ones, you would be better not putting any on. I don't think that you will fit in mine, they would be too tight. Next is your hair and makeup. If you really want to pull off being really sexy then we will have to fix you up."
Beth blushed as soon as Sadie said that she was going to have to put on smaller sexier panties. She had not worn such a thing since she was dating and had none with her. So, the fact was she was going to have to go wearing just the tight dress. The fact was that the dress was going to be telling everyone that she didn't have any on. She loved the fact that her daughter was going to be helping with her hair and makeup. But Beth felt herself trembling again, she was unsure if she had the courage to go to the prison looking like this.
The only thing that she was happy about was the fact that she had the night to sleep on it and hoped that she would get the courage to be able to walk down the streets and into the prison looking that way.
Beth looked over at the other kids and saw their smiling faces. Tommy said, "You look hot Mom."
Beth looked over at the door then back at the kids and said, "I am going to try and go out to try and pick up some supper for you all. Stay inside and stay as quiet as you can. On the way back from the prison there was a little butcher shop. I will pick up something for us to eat, and then I will be right back."
Beth knew that she had to at least try and get used to wearing something so revealing without looking too uncomfortable, but there was no way that she was taking off her panties on this test run. It would just have to show that she had large comfortable ones on.
Beth reached out and took ahold of the door handle and froze in place she was starting to get overwhelmed. When Tommy saw that she was having a hard time opening the door he said, "Don't worry Mom, you look great. Did you want me to come along with you?"
Beth thought that any other time she would not be going out like this, and she knew that tomorrow was going to be worse. She was nervous but she knew that she could overcome it she just had to for the kids. Beth said, "It's okay. I will be fine. I just needed to brace myself. You kids behave and when I get back, we will have something to eat."
With that, she opened the door and stepped out. Beth thought well that was the first step. A cold gust of wind swept through the hall making her feel like she had nothing on, it was even worse than before when she only had her panties on.
Beth thought that she was just being silly and all she was doing was going out for food, everything was just fine. She was dressed and fully covered, no one could see anything. Beth looked down just to make sure that there was nothing showing and that nothing had slipped out of place. Thinking about the dress she was glad that for the last few days, she had not really eaten anything. Thinking that anything that she had eaten would be showing on her now.
As Beth walked down the hall, she was glad to see that the guard had finally found his way out and was still not there, dazed and confused like when she had last seen him.
Beth remembered how much attention she had gotten before even in a dress that was not all that sexy. She remembered how she had been thinking that she wanted to wear something more revealing, but this was way too far. With every step she took she was just waiting for something to pop out or the dress to rip out.
Before Beth knew it, she was downstairs in front of the manager, she had more or less ignored him from the moment that she had rented the room knowing that he was going to be no help at all. But as soon as she came into his view he said, "Wow." then quickly cleared his throat to try and cover it up.
Beth looked at him and for the first time, she saw him standing and looking her over. He asked, "Are you going out? Is there anything I can help you with? Is there anything that I can do to make your stay more pleasant?"
Beth remembered he was mostly not caring and kind of rude when he dealt with her before. He was mostly put out because she needed the cots for some of the children to sleep on.
Beth said, "Yes I am going out to get some food for the children."
He got a big smile, because she was talking to him, and even walked a little closer. He said, "Well, if you are getting food just let me know if you need any pots or pans to cook with. I know that the stove is small in the rooms, but they all work. If you need something bigger you can come to my room, and I will let you cook it there."
Beth instantly thought I wonder just what it would cost me to do that. Knowing that he was no longer just trying to get money out of her. Beth couldn't help but notice that he was hard, and he was no longer looking at her face.
Beth said, "I will let you know."
Knowing that there was no way that she would go into his room ever. But the fact that he was now offering some cooking stuff would make it easier for her to get more food cheaper so they could eat better.
Beth couldn't help but feel that she had nothing on as his eyes followed her as if she was the first girl that he had ever seen.
At first, Beth was glad when she left the inn just so that he was no longer looking at her, but she only had made it a few steps before she noticed them. She had noticed the way that all the guys looked at her before now it was like she was wearing a big sign saying free food. Whatever the guys had been doing before she had come into view they stopped as soon as they saw her and just stared at her. They made sure that they watched her until she was out of sight. The worst part was the fact of them just standing there looking at her drew other men's attention and made them look as well.
Beth started thinking that if this keeps up, she is going to need guards just to get to the prison. She finally made it back to the little butcher shop and the butcher was all smiles to see her come back but it was even more now.
Beth had not noticed as she walked in 4 guys who had started following her just to get a better look now filled the butcher shop.
The butcher had never been this busy in his life. He knew the guys they were always around someplace, but they never came in together. He said, "I will help you all." He then turned to Beth and said, "And what can I get you my lovely?"
One of the guys just rolled his eyes knowing that he was trying to hit on her and being lame at it.
Beth said, "Well I kind of need to know what you have on sale." She smiled at him shyly.
One of the guys from the back said, "Get whatever you want. Just put it on my tab."
It startled Beth because until then she had been so much in her own mind that she had not noticed everyone in there. Beth blushed as she about tripped over the guy who had been looking down the top of her dress from behind her. Beth saw that the guy who had been offering to buy her food was a well-built man who was dressed in very expensive clothes. She knew just from the sound of him that he was used to getting whatever he wanted.
Beth knew that she really didn't have enough money to pay for much, but she had enough that she could feed her kids. Beth said, "I am sorry, but I don't know you I wouldn't feel right taking things from you."
Nick said, "Now there is an idea. Why don't you just come home with me, and we can get to know each other, I am sure you will get more than your fill of things."
Beth didn't have a clue just who this guy was, but she knew exactly what he was referring to. Beth said, "I am sorry. I don't know just who you are used to dealing with, but I am married and you don't know me well enough to be talking to me that way."
The butcher touched her arm to get her attention and said, "Come on and just tell me what you want, and I will get it ready for you. You don't need to worry about him if you just come into my shop wearing something like that. You will bring in enough customers that it will be worth me giving you whatever you want."
The butcher spoke up and said, "The food is covered, and you don't want to upset her, do you?"
Nick gave him a wink to signify that he was still just to put it on his tab. Then said, "As the lady wants. But I still expect you to come and see me. So, what is your name my lady."
Beth thought well how proper he is pulling out all the stops. Beth knew right then this man would take care of all my needs at least for the short term at least till he found out about the kids. She said, "My name good sir is Beth, and I am happily married."
Beth mentally struggled with the thought of being happily married. At one time, maybe that was true, but she knew those days were gone, she was not about to start looking for someone to fill that position now. Especially if she had to go around looking like this all the time.
Not that she thought that she looked bad, in fact, she liked the way that she looked. But she felt like she would never be able to eat again if she wanted to be able to keep wearing things like the dress that she was in.
Then it hit her just what the butcher just told her: if she keeps coming back, he will make sure that she will have whatever she wants to eat. As long as she keeps wearing things like this. Beth started to think that if she kept wearing things like this when she was out on the streets there would be no shortage of things given to her.
The meat was going to go a long way in feeding the kids, and that would make it so that she would only have to pay for the stuff that she needed to go with it.
Beth remembered the size of the refrigerator that was in the room. So, there was no point in getting too much. But tonight was an exception. She wanted something bigger to feed them since it had been so long since they had enough to eat.
Beth pointed at a roast and then asked for some bacon thinking that they would love it for breakfast. The butcher gave her a smile as the guys were already starting to place their orders.
After seeing what she ordered and knowing how much he was going to make off the sales. The butcher said, "If you promise to come back you can tell Carl the vegetable cart owner that I will cover what you need from him."
The butcher knew that anytime that she would walk in there looking like that she would drag in the helpless guys that saw her trying to get a better look. If he could get her to stay for a while. He knew that they would place big orders trying to impress her. He would make even a bigger killing off of them as they would be buying the most expensive cuts of meat.
Beth had to think about it. It was a great deal and would make sure that her kids would never go hungry, but she would have to keep dressing this way. She thought that she looked like a tramp, but she thought that she did look good that way. Beth was not sure how Rodger would feel about her walking around town looking like that.
Beth asked, "What would I have to do?"
With a huge smile, the butcher said, "All you have to do is get dressed looking sexy walk around a little then just come in here, and then stand around for ten to fifteen minutes so that the big strong men can show you how great they are by buying things."
Beth thought about it and knew that he was going to be making a killing if she did that so she said, "Give me 25% of the profit that you will be making in addition to the food."
The butcher knew that it was still a great deal for him. After all, he would be giving her some of the additional profit that she would be bringing in.
The butcher said, "It's a deal. I expect you to make it in at least once a day."
He handed her the things that she had asked for and told her where Carl was so that she could get the rest of the things that she was going to be wanting.
With a huge smile, he waved as she left as he tended to the other customers.
Nick stopped her as she was walking out and said, "If you need anything just let me know." Then he handed her a card with his name and address on it. "You can reach me day or night there." He gave her a wink as he said night.
Beth rolled her eyes and thought fat chance, but she did take the card you never know when you need someone with money after all she knows her money is almost gone. But the deal with the butcher should help with her money issues.
Beth went down the street found the vegetable stand and asked the man if he was Carl. With a huge smile, Carl turned and looked at her as his mouth dropped open and all he could do was nod. Beth said, "Joe the butcher down the street told me to come here and he was going to cover what I want."
Carl looked her over and had no doubt that was something Joe would do. Carl said, "Well what do you want?"
Beth rattled off a short list of things as she noticed that there was a bunch of guys gathering around her. As soon as Carl had her things together three men offered to carry her bags for her.
Bet thanked them politely for their offer and said that she had it. It was not like she wanted any of them to know just where she was staying.
As Beth walked back to the inn. She thought that she must look okay even though she was wearing those granny panties. Beth started thinking maybe she needed to practice walking more like someone who normally wears things like this.
With a huge smile on her face, Beth started wiggling her hips making her ass sway as she walked. Now she was truly feeling sexy as she walked. She was not minding the guys watching her at all, it was boosting her self-confidence.
Beth was glad when she opened the door and saw that her kids were just waiting for her. When she brought the bags through the door, she couldn't believe just how great it felt to provide enough for them. They were going to be able to eat as much as they wanted without worrying if there was going to be enough for the others.
