She later dumps the body in the basement and burns his clothes in the fireplace. When Johnny says that Matthew has been reported missing, Jennifer states that she killed Matthew, and as he nears orgasm, Jennifer takes the knife Matthew brought with him from its hiding place under the bathmat and severs Johnny's genitals, letting him bleed to death. She pretends to believe this, lowers her gun, and invites him back to her cottage for a hot bath, where she manually stimulates him. Johnny insists the rapes were her fault because she enticed the men by parading around in revealing clothing.
She stops halfway to her house and turns a gun on him and orders him to remove all his clothing. Jennifer seductively collects Johnny from the gas station in her car. As he becomes oblivious to his surroundings, she strings a noose around his neck and hangs him, then cuts the rope and drops the body in the river. At the cabin Jennifer entices him to have sex with her under a tree. Jennifer calls in a grocery order, knowing Matthew will deliver it. The men learn Jennifer has survived and beat Matthew up for deceiving them. She goes to church and asks for forgiveness for what she plans to do. In the following days, a traumatized Jennifer pieces both herself and her manuscript back together. Matthew cannot bring himself to do this, so he dabs the knife in her blood and returns to the other men claiming he has killed her. She passes out, but after the men leave, Johnny realizes she is a witness to their crimes and orders Matthew to stab her to death. The other men ridicule her book and rip up the manuscript, and Stanley sexually assaults her. Matthew finally rapes her after drinking alcohol, but he says that he can not reach orgasm with the other men watching. Andy brutally rapes her and after she crawls back to her house, they attack her again.
They allow her to escape but track her down shortly afterward. Matthew refuses to have sex with her, so Johnny rapes her. Jennifer fights but is chased by the men through the forest. She realizes they planned her abduction so Matthew can lose his virginity. As she tries to escape, she is met by Johnny, while Matthew hides in bushes nearby. One day, while Jennifer is relaxing in her canoe, they surprise her in their speedboat and tow her to shore. Stanley and Andy start cruising by the cottage in their speedboat and prowl around the house at night. Matthew is friends with the other three men and reports back to them about the beautiful woman he met, claiming he saw her breasts. Jennifer receives a grocery delivery from Matthew, who is mildly mentally challenged, and befriends him. The arrival in town of the attractive and independent young woman attracts the attention of Johnny, the gas station manager, and Stanley and Andy, two unemployed youths who hang around the gas station.
