The Ruthless Rustler (F/F) - Parts 15 to 18
Posted: Thu Feb 27, 2025 6:39 pm
Folks, please keep in mind this is fiction despite the darkness of the story. Thinking of it like a thrilling TV series!
Ruthless Ruster Roxanne Rutledge (F/F)
Roxanne Rutledge was a cattle rustler and often a common thief. She stole cattle, robbed banks, and stirred up all sorts of trouble in town. Roxanne was no ordinary crook, though. She stood out from other criminals. Despite being just 5’2â€, this slippery girl always came out on top. She was cruel, binding and gagging her victims. Once she had the girl captive, she taunted them and tortured them. She accomplished these goals using a variety of methods designed to destroy the captive’s will. Finally, she executed her victims in a dramatic scene.
In these stories, she encountered various characters: deputies, sheriffs, bounty hunters, and even ordinary citizens. In total, there were 14 victims of Roxanne’s reign of terror, and then there was Roxanne’s archnemesis and eventual executioner, Annie Oakes. I had more than one run-in with Roxanne before claiming a pyrrhic victory over the serial killer. Too often, I arrived at the scene too late to save the day.
Roxanne had a recurring outfit that never changed across the tales. She always had black combat boots, black crew socks, black cargo pants with many pockets, a black curve neck t-shirt, a pink cowboy bandana neckerchief, and a black cowboy hat, with silvery highlights on both the boots and the hat and gleaming chains hanging out of the pockets of her pants.

Introduction
Roxanne swings from the cell, dead by hanging. How did we get here? How did I get here? It’s a long story in which 14 girls saw their lives end at the hands of the killer, cattle rustler, and bank robber known as Roxanne Rutledge. So many tried to stop her, but I was the lucky one who got away before she could kill me. Some were cocky; others were foolish; a few were innocent and did nothing wrong to anyone ever. How did I win? Read on. If you dare. It’s a dark, dark story.

Part 01: Cattle Rustler Eliminates a Sheriff
Maddy Vee stepped into the barn with a look of quiet, calm concern on her face. The bright star on the lapel of her dark brown leather vest made it apparent that she represented the law in this part of the country. Underneath the vest she had a form-fitting cream button-up shirt. Matching that vest were her cowboy hat with its shiny gold band and the cute denim skirt that came down to her calves. With the skirt, she had a dark brown leather belt with a big gold buckle and a gun belt. Around her neck she wore a red bandana in the classic cowboy style.
Sheriff Vee had extremely curly brown hair and big beautiful brown eyes. She was tall, standing at 5’7½†with a strong frame. The natural 34DD breasts were obvious, especially since she wore a tight-fitting top and vest. The light brown cowboy boots and matching pantyhose were quite a nice way to round off the outfit. She surveyed the barn, seeking the criminal.
Roxanne Rutledge was the most infamous cattle thief in the west. She had a reputation for never getting caught in the act, but she’d once been caught with another person’s cattle when she tried to sell it. Supposedly, none lived to tell the story of catching her during a raid. Bodies lay in her wake, their lives ended by her hand. Don't mess with her, or she will make sure you never mess with anyone again.
The Sheriff didn’t know what was about to happen to her. She was clueless. In the dark stood a figure with a lasso in her hand. The trusty brown rope was ready to go to work, and she enjoyed the feeling in her hands while she stood in the shadows. It’s a big barn, perfect for a showdown such as this. The Sheriff was unaware that she was being watched.
It’s quite a scene: a typical more modern barn with that distinct red and white paint, treated wood to prevent rot, support brackets that only began to exist in the 20th century, and so on. There are a variety of stalls, for horses, hay bales, alfalfa, and so on. It is full of hiding places for a short, conniving girl like Roxanne. She used her agility and intellect to make up for her disadvantages.
“Where is that sneaky cattle thief?†the Sheriff asked herself, but that was the fatal question.
“Right here, Sheriff Vee!†Roxanne let her lasso fly, and perfectly encircled the sheriff.
“HEY!†Maddy’s arms clamped to her side with a perfect jerk of the rope, imperiling her.
“There’s plenty of hay in this barn,†Roxanne’s sinister smirk sent a chill down Maddy’s spine.
“You! Roxanne Rutledge, let me go!†the captive demanded, but her own cuffs left her belt.
“I’ll let you go when I’m ready,†the little girl cuffed the Sheriff’s wrists behind her back.
Roxanne’s rope went to work, starting by binding the Sheriff’s elbows together behind her back just like her wrists. It was cold and calculated. The Sheriff could do nothing but plead for any sort of mercy, but she didn’t know that she was to become the first of many who crossed paths with Roxanne and failed to survive to tell the tale. She whined and begged, but her efforts had no effect. It’s one thing to try to soften a heart, but Roxanne’s heart was pure stone.
“Please untie me!†Maddy continued pleading, shaking her head and making her curls fly.
“You can plead all you want, but my mind doesn’t change,†Roxanne coldly responded.
“I won’t pursue you if you let me leave!†the Sheriff was desperate, “Don’t do this!â€
“My dear Sheriff, you daily to understand that your free will has died,†the desperado sneers.
“Gmmm!†a red 2 inch ball gag was pushed into Maddy’s mouth to take her permission to talk.
“Perhaps you now understand I make all decisions for me and for you,†Rox secured the strap.
Roxanne forced the unwilling captive to take a seat on the floor of the barn and grabbed more of the brown rope that she kept in her black backpack. While Maddy drooled on the barn floor and all over herself, Roxanne tied her ankles together with the rope, making sure the rope was secure in the heels of Maddy’s boots and wrapping around her feet as well for complete immobility. An exquisite harness followed, wrapping the Sheriff’s bosom in many ways to assert Roxanne’s total control over all aspects of the game. Maddy wailed and looked for help, but help wasn’t found.
Instead of help, Maddy found herself with a tight waist and crotch rope, the crotch rope tied right against her underwear beneath her skirt. Yes, this was no ordinary game, indeed; it was Roxanne playing with a captive. The captive wasn’t human to Roxanne though, or at least had no intrinsic value to her. The ropes were secure and irritating, showing Roxanne’s control over all Maddy’s autonomy. There was nothing warm or fuzzy; it was all cruel domination.
As a reward for not physically resisting since Maddy knew she was helpless, Roxanne only tied Maddy’s legs together on either side of her knees, one rope above the knees and one rope below the knees. Roxanne’s generosity could not be understated in such circumstances, could it? The ropes were tight and right against Maddy’s skin, digging deep and sure to leave lasting marks if she should live so long. In a tour de force, she unbuttoned Maddy’s shirt and pulled it open.
“Look,†Roxanne showed a key, “If you can get the key and unlock the cuffs with, I’ll free you.â€
Roxanne put the key down in clear sight but far away on the other side of the barn. It seemed as if she was showing a little bit of mercy to her captive after all. The gleam of light of the bright, shiny metal attracted Maddy’s eye, and she believed her captor’s promise. With hope filling her heart, she began to scrunch the distance to the key, slowly but surely. Terror still seized her heart as it well should have, but she thought this was her chance to at least live.
When she reached the key after an agonizing eternity, really 3 minutes, she began fiddling with the little bit of metal, putting it into the key slot on the handcuffs. She tried a second time, but it was clear that nothing was working. She’d practiced on herself in case of such a situation, but it didn’t help her at this moment. She tried again until her blood went cold and the color drained from her face. She froze, and the only motion came from the stream of drool pouring off the big red ball gag in her mouth. Struggling to maintain her poise and breathing heavily, she looked at her kidnapper with a distraught gaze of mixed fear and horror in understanding of her reality.
“You really didn’t think I’d let you go, did you?†Roxanne sneered, “Why you’d go back to get a posse and come back here and hang me. Say,†she looked up, “that gives me an idea.â€
Maddy looked up above their heads at the rafters that supported the roof of the barn. Roxanne hinted at something terrible. Would she really execute Maddy in such a diabolical fashion; did she have something else, likely also dehumanizing, in mind? Maddy could only watch as rope went over the rafter above and Rox passed the rope through the loop to secure it. The captive was now forced to stand up by her captor, and the rope was tied to the harness, limiting how far the captive could now hop and taking away her ability to sit or kneel.
Roxanne reached into her backpack and pulled out a wooden paddle. A total empath, she shared her love of paddles with her new friend, demonstrating that the most satisfying use of a paddle is to apply the flat of the paddle to the rear of the captive. The resulting pain triggered a shriek out of most girls, bringing delight to the user even if not to the playmate. Rox was inimical.
“EEEEEEE!†Maddy shrieked, but the cracking of the paddle sounded in the air.
“I just want you to know I like the way you hop when I do that,†Rox repeated the cruel trick.
“NMMMMMM!†but Maddy’s only responses were helpless bunny hopping and drooling.
The aim wasn’t to hurt the body but to hurt the soul. By totally dominating Maddy, Roxanne had the goal of breaking Maddy’s will to resist while still maintaining a level of terror. This ensured an unhealthy fear that maximized the response to each of Rox’s deplorable deeds.
“Ah ha ha! I think we’re having fun, now. Aren’t we?†the sadistic question frightened Maddy.
“Nmmmmm!†Maddy nodded her head in the hope that this would placate her assailant.
“You’re not supposed to like it!†Roxanne snapped, “I’ll make you pay for toying with me!â€
“OWWWWWWW!†Maddy called out loudly, forcing more drool off the ball gag.
“That does it!†Roxanne repeats the cracking sound at least a dozen more times.
“GMMMM!†the Sheriff watches her bandana come off her neck at Rox’s will.
Roxanne takes the red bandana and begins to carefully fold it. She folds it up into a perfect band for a variety of purposes, and she tests the limits of Maddy’s fears by blindfolding Sheriff Maddy with the red paisley square that had once been around the Sheriff’s neck. Maddy lets out a quiet but audibly sad whimper. Her feelings mean nothing to Roxanne, who delights in the response.
Maddy stood in darkness with Roxanne calmly brushing her hair aside, pulling loose hairs out of the gag for the mere amusement of the task. Then Roxanne pulled back, as if she planned to let Maddy be alone, but then Maddy felt a light tap on the left shoulder. She jerked to the left but, of course, found no one. Then a tap came near the base of her spine. She squealed and hopped out of the way, but the rope restricted her to a narrow circle that tired her with time.
“What’s the matter? Is something bothering you?†Roxanne called from yet another direction.
“Huh?†Maddy turned around, but of course she saw nothing, “Hon’h hoo hih hoo he!â€
Maddy didn’t call the shots anymore. In fact, she was marked for destruction before she’d even set a foot in the barn; she never called the shots. She was helpless, doomed to die in Roxanne’s eyes the moment the rustler had seen Maddy at a distance. The wheels were set in motion, and Maddy never knew that the point of no return was reached the moment she decided to confront the Ruthless Rustler, although Roxanne wasn’t yet known as such because she’d not killed a soul in her life. Today was the day that all of that changed forever, her self-inflicted “Mark of Cain.â€
The blindfold came off to reveal tears pouring down Maddy’s cheeks. She didn’t realize, but this was exactly what Roxanne wanted to see, pain and suffering. The ropes felt tighter than ever, but relief wasn’t coming. In fact, Roxanne jerked on the crotch rope with great vigor, determined to evoke that particular reaction of Maddy. There was no arousal on Maddy’s part, but she was just as incapable as any other woman of preventing that particular reaction. A squeal gave Roxanne the delight she desired, the delight of forcing her captive to achieve her peak femininity.
“I knew it! You are having fun with me!†Roxanne smiled brightly, “I’m so happy!â€
“MMMMMMM!†Maddy breathed deeply in the wake of her unwilling climax and shook her head in disbelief at what had to be the most insane, and last, criminal she’d ever encountered.
“Mmmmwah!†Roxanne gave Maddy a passionate kiss on the cheek, “I had fun today.â€
Roxanne created a noose using a rope to complete her domination of Maddy and permanently to remove the Maddy problem from her life. As long as Sheriff Vee was around, Roxanne would be chased by the law; but, if she eliminated Maddy without any witnesses around, there would be no proof that she was a killer. She made sure that her knots would hold firm before tossing the rope over a rafters. She took the other end of the rope and pulled it taut, slowly raising her prey from the floor. Maddy’s shriek slowly was replaced with a gasping, gurgling sound. With a sick grin on her face, Roxanne laughed and dusted off her hands for a job well done.
“Thanks for playing, Sheriff, but I really need to be getting along,†Roxanne taunted Maddy.
“Guh!†Maddy struggled to breathe; her legs kicked in a desperate bid to snap the rope.
“See you in hell!†the criminal mounted her stolen steed and began riding away, “Ha ha haaaa!â€
“Gnnnnnnn,†the victim helplessly watched as her only chance of survival departed without her.
Maddy desperately struggled and choked on the rope that throttled her, but about 2 minutes after Roxanne’s departure all became still and quiet. The body swung back and forth as a remnant of the impassioned effort. Sheriff Maddy was, after 53 minutes of torment, finally at peace. Now, the die had been cast: Roxanne Rutledge wasn’t not just a cattle but also was a murderer, and an exceptionally ruthless one at that.
