Ethan felt his senses returning to him slowly, his mind incredibly muddled. He eventually managed to open his eyes but his vision was blurry and it made him dizzy. Moving, even slightly, felt like an insurmountable task. He closed his eyes again, waiting for the world to stop spinning.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCPBhZtU9g
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz4GdhPue0
He knew he was sitting down. He could feel bindings around his ankles and wrists and concluded that he was tied to a chair. His right elbow was tied securely as well, probably to the arm of said chair. The restraints were uncomfortably tight but he couldn't feel any significant pain in his body. He could feel the air on his chest, so they'd taken his shirt too, and the rough concrete floor under his bare feet.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzByboPs4h
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyEDs7Vlw8
Ethan felt a stab of pain rush up his right arm and he cracked opened his eyes, immediately noticing a man fiddling with something on his right arm. His view was blocked but he could guess what the man was up to. They're black market dealers, he thought as a weight dropped in his stomach.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B9WILG40s
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8lw6yAOxP
Ethan looked at the dealer, who hadn't noticed he was awake, and tried to force his eyes to focus properly. The man looked to be in his forties and was wearing large rim glasses. He had a large build and was dressed all in black. Despite the man's age, Ethan didn't fancy his odds in a fair fight against his captor.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMUWNmpdVo
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuOXtiRbCk
Ethan's gaze wandered, his vision still adjusting. He noticed the number eighteen was written on the back of his left hand. The black numbers stood out against his paler than usual skin. So they've caught seventeen Charax before me, he thought grimly, and I get to be lucky number eighteen.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH3eVnBqJQ
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGXFY0tLmG
Ethan saw the man disconnect the full bag of blood then continue working on his arm. Now that he'd moved, Ethan could see the needle embedded in his forearm. He'd already been feeling terrible but now he had to fight down bile as his body reacted to the foreign object. Needles usually made him feel a bit nauseous but this was worst than usual, the reaction combining with the drugs still in his system. He shut his eyes suddenly, taking a deep breaths to calm himself.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFXPDmj9yg
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhZvnfqTFT
Ethan opened his eyes again to take in his surroundings, trying really hard not to look at the needle. Not to think about it. Just the idea of it was making him nauseous. Trying to distract himself, his gaze fell to the floor and onto the dark splotches on the dirty concrete. Probably blood from a previous occupant. A lot of blood. His stomach churned. He looked away.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewZ3cUitUo
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT3JSFwaWt
He only now noticed there was a woman with olive skin and very unnatural looking platinum blond hair standing a few feet away. She was sitting on the edge of a table that was scattered with medical supplies.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiHdIMKZuz
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO1ptzoccE
The red plastic bags on the table caught his eye. Blood. His blood. He guessed these were black market dealers. Probably going to claim his blood had some sort of miraculous healing properties as they sold it off to the highest bidder.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzl7uEOZce
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoetoAwi9FO
He tried to stay positive, if they wanted a blood bank then his chances of staying alive went up. The longer I'm alive, the longer I have to escape, he thought hopefully. He saw the man had attached an IV to his arm and hung a bag of clear fluid above his head.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47IffcH3RG
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGFIHpCrsL
"What are you doing?" Ethan mumbled, still dazed and more than a little confused.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAURGnEuTFG
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KfdIpScUa
"Look who's awake." The blonde woman smiled at him in a way that sent shivers down his spine.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn50IqmIIyT
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsGQW3WYUZ
Ethan felt a little more aware now, as if whatever they'd given him was wearing off. He found he could move, even if it felt like his muscles were made of spaghetti. He shifted in his restraints slightly to discover they were as tight as they felt. His male captor ignored the his motion and moved behind him, out of his field of view.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6al2gvflc
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAMldy5uIv
"Where am I?" Ethan mumbled to no one in particular, looking around the room for an exit. No windows, but there was a wooden door in the corner behind him. It looked old and fragile, the paint was peeling off it just like on the walls.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZbujsSs9w
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcgteWLDWA
"Josephine, get over here." Ethan heard from the man behind him. "Hold him still."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J72sf38mt
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFZAQZVePu
Ethan made note of the name, the woman must be Josephine. He watched nervously as she approached, preparing to fight off the urges of the heat that would surely come. She wasted no time grabbing hold of his jaw and pushing his head back against the metal back of the chair so he couldn't move it. He could feel her fingers digging in.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki5tThXp7K
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KpyApPsT2
To his relief, he didn't immediately break down and beg her to fuck him. The sensation of her skin on his sent tingles across his face and down his neck but... that seemed to be all. He didn't get hard. His mind didn't go blank. He was still there, mostly. He noticed his mind was... foggy but that may have been the drug.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYCdaBDysK
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJopf2omeaW
Ethan was utterly surprised by how his body was reacting. He had thought any woman touching him in this state would have been unbearable, sending the heat symptoms into overdrive, but that wasn't exactly what was happening. He felt arousal growing at the back of his mind, but it was still containable, still controllable. He fought the urges his body was producing, urges excited by the touch of her skin.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C9q2A3E1A
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y4geyg7JV
He wasn't sure why this was happening. Perhaps the drugs they had used to knock him out were working in his favour, acting like water on the raging fire that had been his heat so far. Or maybe the Trazinol hadn't worn off yet. It didn't matter, all he knew was that he desperately wanted her to stop touching him.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIwiePiraY
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzPY1Chi8J
Ethan struggled as hard as he could to get her off but she had no trouble holding him in place. He was still weak and the bindings had no give either. He only felt her fingers digging in deeper, hard enough to hurt. He focused on the pain and used it to ground himself, trying to ignore everything else he was feeling.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15mRmxoh0j
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9TXhYcmtV
Ethan heard the snip snip sound of scissors behind his head. He wasn't sure why they'd be interested in a DNA test if they already knew he was Charax. It would be obvious soon enough, once the heat symptoms came back in full force.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqFLgJUOCU
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9II9wzOWC3
Her eyes darted upwards to the man cutting his hair. "Done?"155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeel0ndViqZ
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYRVK7ZRCP
"I got enough," the other one replied as he walked over the to table.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgodNMNLOk
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7Bk111O9J
Josephine forced Ethan's face from side to side as she studied him intently. "Shame he's Charax, he's got such a pretty face."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukS0Jvf6ZX
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YJcoAdWGm
Ethan started to struggle more, feeling slightly stronger now, but still getting nowhere. He felt her fingers digging into his jaw, hard enough to bruise. She laughed, letting go of him. He glared daggers at her in response, unwilling to show any fear.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XkwLwD96Z
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxZpmhWkLs
She walked around him, examining him with a critical eye. "A male in great condition. Purebred. Young. Healthy. Minimal scaring. It's a shame."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEdJgxl46D
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz0S7a0SkU
The way she said it made him feel incredibly uncomfortable. Like she was treating him as less than human. His discomfort didn't escape her notice.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvZr4SvaBQ
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW1yqQSVMi
"Don't be upset, those are all compliments." She spoke with a false sweetness in her voice that came across as patronizing.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFMeWoVq43
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iQqF81Be1
The man was preoccupied doing something with the equipment on the table. "He's not going to be in this condition for long."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFXbwCUEVC
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm8TPyycPL
"I know, it's such a waste." Josephine pouted dramatically.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVih3NX4Wbe
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTKiKRgG4h
"What are you talking about?" Ethan asked, worried by how the conversation was turning.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMwVsmXsxG
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVYA8YMSQG
They both ignored him.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡculdsZAVXm
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PtPblHxhK
"Hey! What's going on?" Ethan raised his voice in frustration.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f4kxdAafn
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBYFl3OTtK
The man turned around to glare at Ethan. "Get the message and shut up already or we'll gag you."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr3PAehU5q
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZxJZa31iZ
"We might as well just give him another dose. I don't feel like listening to any screaming right now," Josephine said from behind him.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyhykNQxzY
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDOJ4MPzVe
"We'll see," her partner answered flatly.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPDwEmU03D
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzKs9IKYJh
Ethan gulped, comprehending his situation. He knew the drugs were a greater threat the gag. If he wanted to get out of there, he'd need to be aware and awake. He reluctantly bit back his remaining questions. It didn't seem like they'd answer any of them anyways.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKWg9RsoWi
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMegZBbsNbY
The man turned around with a swab in his hands. "Open your mouth."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn6eB3zIi9
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9xAnRUcYC
Ethan really didn't want to but he didn't see any other options. The man would just take it by force if he refused. He could only hope they didn't realize what they were taking. He reluctantly opened his mouth, letting the man taking a swab of his cheek.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe71jS6dIOm
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnQbzd6L6d
The man pulled out the swab and examined it. "That's enough for a sample."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qMsV6svsC
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALDog1jkg5
"Maybe we should take some other samples while we have him out here, all set up," the blonde suggested.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsQlH0LzLj
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMyAYZ982x
Ethan didn't like the sound of that and the way she put her hand on his thigh as she said it further unnerved him. He pressed himself back into the chair as he glared at her defiantly. Instead of getting angry, she smirked back at him and squeezed his thigh.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsB9X68Ynu
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivNfYQhoVz
"Knock it off. We've got other work to do right now," the man told her sternly.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvMlZLz9Ma
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zEdaCsqay
"Terrence, you are never any fun. James would at least consider it," Josephine complained.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlIjpS2olA
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPhcSadEoI
Ethan added that information to the list of things he knew so far. There's at least three of them, he concluded.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJenqEGoTN3
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzea9xPGSPf
"I'm not James," Terrence retorted, handing her a thermometer.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiTtQUbKTF
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hghiExSTy
"I know that," Josephine said to him patronizingly before turning her attention to Ethan. "Open up," she said as she went to stick the thermometer in his mouth.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7K6UyyJeh
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzSnU6zbTz
Ethan opened his mouth slightly and held himself still despite wanting nothing more than to bash her head in.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnLvbGKYjl
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoxV86sW1l
Josephine slipped the device in. "No biting now."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjBpeovAHO
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAbWfCG6Ga
Ethan glared back at her, fuming, as he felt the hard metal object on his tongue. A few seconds later, Josephine pulled the thermometer out and placed it back on the table.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJljh497MNz
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf6tA3R6Kj
Terrence picked up what looked like a whitish liquid in a bag off the table. He torn off an end and held it in front of Ethan's face. "Drink it," he ordered.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR5XQbJ3xK
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBAtnk1adZ
Ethan's eyes flickered between his captor and the liquid. "I'm good."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkxIMdlSFO
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhER9jhBTj
Terrence sighed. "I know you aren't hungry, but you're going to be in heat for a while. No point in wearing yourself out early."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXm5L8OtfN
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkGe0aLQMe
"No, I don't want it," Ethan refused, eyeing the strange meal skeptically.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESv5DV2RrR
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYBD7JyX9O
"Not an option," Terrence insisted but Ethan pressed his lips together defiantly anyways. The large man sighed again, clearly losing patience with his uncooperative prisoner.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4vnML6rqX
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtLMC3ekf8
Josephine took a syringe off the table and offered it to her partner. "This should make him more compliant." Terrence quickly took the syringe and turned back to Ethan.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV15v3MMz9z
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoqSeuUIaW
"What's that?" Ethan asked worriedly as he saw the man approach. "Wait, don't—" Ethan cut himself off as the man ignored him and injected the mystery drug into the IV line. He fought a new wave of nausea off, closing his eyes again and tried his best to forget he had a needle in his arm.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl25Zt38hVA
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzLL9fCEnz
Ethan heard a masculine voice near him. "Let's take a break."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRoZqya3pi
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMFDRutktT
"Sure," a more feminine voice replied.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5umIo8dxD
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ425Uww9hDN
He opened his eyes to see the two captors leaving the room and heard the door close behind them, leaving him completely alone. Immediately, he took the chance to try and break out of his restraints. He fought hard to break his bonds but the leather cuffs binding his arms and legs to the metal chair were sturdy. He strained and thrashed but couldn't move more than a millimetre. After a few minutes, he settled back down into the chair, panting, tired, and unsuccessful. There was nothing left to do except wait and hope they would move him to a less secure area soon.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy9upxDHtV
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnhxKm083U
As he sat there, he felt a trickle of sweat run down his bare back. He took note of the moisture gathering on his skin and dampening his remaining clothing. He wasn't sure if it was due to the heat or his ineffective attempt to get out of the bindings. The level of arousal coming from the heat hadn't gotten any stronger, that was good news at least. Then a few minutes later, Ethan felt the drug kick in like a tsunami. He felt a familiar fog swelling up at the edges of his mind and he tried his best to stay lucid. Shortly after that, the two dealers reentered the room.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ403mNVPWt1
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xvU9el81X
Josephine came around and studied him closely, examining his pupils. "It's working all right."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14H5Nkh8Oz
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUSCUU3Q9x
"Let's try this again," Terrence said as he held the liquid up to his lips again.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ito3urs78
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlg80XgpQK
Ethan shook his head, mouth kept tightly closed. He knew they could inject him with whatever they wanted. There was no point in poisoning his food. He knew he was being stubborn but he had no interest in making anything easy for them now.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZwPPFqQHC
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS1zokk6ln
"Still?" The man let out a sigh brief of frustration then quickly punched him in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him. "Don't think we won't damage you if you cause us trouble. You're still worth a fortune broken."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7WW16JZ5c
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj139B0Tvg
Ethan, hunched over in the chair, tried to catch his breath. It proved a more difficult task than he expected.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0671sTOwmk
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhuN8J7RVC
"Do fight, I do so enjoy breaking the ones that fight back," the blonde woman purred, watching from her seat on the table, clearly entertained.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7L6RFIzaw
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR4x6SPFNb
"He's a bit too old for training. And in heat," Terrence retorted, still in a bad mood.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRJhsVfAd6
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXBbW4qlS7
Josephine smiled again, making Ethan's skin crawl. "We never know until we try. And the heat makes it easier, not harder. It's such a great reward system."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Lhtk81v9e
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9uN5iFGgr
Ethan shuddered at the thought of what she was proposing.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt6t3kkTWs
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkm2yu5t4Y
"Aw, he's blushing." The woman's tone sounded more suited to talking to a puppy than a person. "A virgin? We can fix that quickly."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aNu6GQ6K0
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7dBZ77Lrn
"I'm not an animal," Ethan protested angrily. It was getting harder for him to keep focused, to stay angry at her. He figured it was an effect of whatever they'd injected him with, making it difficult to focus.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP27Ft9VuPe
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc1tqZ6M3e
The blond laughed with a biting cruel edge. She jumped down off the table and approached him leisurely. "Oh, but you are. That's what the Charax are. And right now you'll fuck anyone we put in front of you." She ran her fingers along his muscles, across his chest, down his arm. He flinched at her touch. "I think you'd do a good job too. I have high expectations for you."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsShild6H9
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9tvkaHQgc
Terrence appeared to have little patience for Ethan or his partner. He passed the bag over to her. With a huff, the man gripped Ethan's hair and yanked his head back before forcing his mouth open.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgkkx1pnb3
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN0a9GyThN
Ethan lacked the ability to put up any significant resistance now, the drug coursing through his veins. The blond quickly emptied the bag into his mouth and then the man forced his jaw shut. He gagged at the taste but his mouth was held tightly shut. The white liquid was disgusting. It somehow combined the texture of yogurt with the taste of chalk in the worst way possible.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWiYPU9Kpv
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXupyIGJAx
"Swallow," Terrence ordered.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcTDYlMmia
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElksV7b1Mz
Ethan refused to obey out of pure stubbornness.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq8Jlmwh9t
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI1dRRACeo
Josephine suddenly pinched his nose shut. Unable to breath, Ethan ended up swallowing the fluid and his captors let go of him. He was left there to catch his breath, unable to get the taste of the stuff out of his mouth.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOj0MWqfkz
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s0TpU7dSm
"See, he just needs the proper motivation," Josephine said happily.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ1Ovwg5Vw
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgLbCdtOiY
Terrence ignored her, heading back over to the table.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pUtwAV2vi
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJweDyv9o8
Ethan glared at her. "It doesn't matter what you give me. I won't do it."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyzhlldfrv
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc5mY3RQuj
Josephine smirked dangerously as she stroked his shoulder. "You will. Don't be scared, you'd enjoy every minute of it."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRtWeJmFGy
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmTkU5VeJQ
Ethan glared at her angrily. He tried to shake her hand off but she dug her nails into his shoulder.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7Bp6RrNoH
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyHt9BfN6d
"Of course, you'd have lots of clients but I'm sure we could find you a suitable mate. That's what you call them, isn't it? Everyone has their favourites. Their weak spots." She dug her nails further, enough to draw start drawing blood.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEG1sngRF5
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8TREQTdul
Ethan gritted his teeth. "Go to hell." He kept staring daggers at her, as if he could drill a hole through her head with his eyes.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdn456pHN4
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xqYXG6h4M
Josephine raised an eyebrow at him as she pulled her hand away, studying him intently as if he were some kind of interesting specimen.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyUXjRaXKl
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbrbtsm5zT
Terrence shrugged, as if Ethan had proven his point for him. "See, too much trouble, might as well just process 'em and be done with it."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuQa5CGKk8
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5i5sTM0T3
Ethan wasn't eager to find out what either the training or the processing were. He wasn't planning on stick around long enough to find out.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW97fO7xLey
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoVruBL18L
"Where's the fun in that?" Josephine responded, still staring at Ethan.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfHPUahnYV
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqX7cYRbt6
"In spending your cut," Terrence stated dryly. He kept working away with something over on the table, blocked from Ethan's view.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8Pd7lfb9H
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1IqnVupOX
Josephine frowned. "Seems like a waste, we could get more. Given the excellent condition the body's in. Or go for auction."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKe2biLNRT
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VyZ3so1cO
"The boss gave his orders," Terrence told her seriously.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oiBhSbVdv
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTDnAr489C
Josephine joined him over at the table. "Orders can be changed."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoopWnKQTl
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtzLmPEGna
"You know he's probably already secured buyers," Terrence said dismissively.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDJJqZJsDl
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2DKVbCbAC
"I know," Josephine said disappointingly. "I'm not saying we shouldn't offload him eventually."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4MyVluFTU
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYMEPs7OLY
Ethan was having trouble following the conversation. He was trying to piece together what they were talking about but it was difficult, even just focusing on what they were saying took a lot of effort.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N4IvxG1H7
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGu8ynUPwi
"We need to deal with him before he goes crazy on us at least." Terrence was fiddling with the medical equipment. Ethan had stopped trying to figure out what the man was doing.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWc4jaJrVj
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RlcXQ1t5G
"Yes, yes, I know how the heat ones get. I'm aware of the time limit," Josephine replied nonchalantly.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69DQ54KCCI
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGpzDaHMzf
Ethan's muddled mind raced as he watched his two jailers standing by the table, their backs to him. What time limit? What are they talking about? I need to get out of here, he thought frantically. He subtly tested the bindings around his wrists and ankles pointlessly. He glanced around the room again, hoping for some idea of how to escape, but no ideas came to him.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnu5gtpD45
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuPH9yl3TL
"You don't have any openings at the moment," Terrence reminded her. "I don't know know what you're expecting out of him."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD9kJ5BH4r
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtIHpCVOM9
"Someone could always turn up. Or we could make a trade," Josephine suggested. "It's a shame to waste this state, all I'm saying." She gestured vaguely towards Ethan.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAUKOkmgvE
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouDh9LJAbF
"Good luck with that, I'm going to do my job. No use going the extra mile," Terrence responded, slightly annoyed.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC655Xm2iWo

The conversation kept going but Ethan only picked up bits and pieces now. His mind felt incredibly foggy and he ended up tuned out of the conversation entirely. Somewhere in his mind, he hoped they'd forgotten about him.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzUk9bd1CC
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1ryaYF4X7
"I'm talking to you," Terrence snapped his fingers in front of Ethan's face. Ethan blinked and found they'd both turned their attention back to him. "Can you hear me?"155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm7duSaFly
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeFspFSyFN
"Yeah?" Ethan answered uncertainly, confused about what was happening now.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNcqIAc1mA
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTBbtC0rvg
Terrence looked at the new sheet of paper in his hands. "How long have you been on Earth?"155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0r2RPLEJJ
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XqQro7d84
"I was born here." Ethan blurted out before he could stop himself. He hadn't intended to answer that at all. He had to be careful, the drug in his system was messing with his head.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF51MksbnlL
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7opua0c182
"How old are you?" Terrence asked.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9sy7niaDK
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtL2A3gMia
Ethan didn't see any point in trying to lie about that, he didn't even try to stop the answer from coming out. "Twenty nine."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2yjOZbYat
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9loZWmVJo
"Late bloomer," Josephine interjected from her seat on top of the table.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVlA4N7Q55
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIUrSmFgEF
"How long have you been in heat?" Terrence asked the next question.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WxrReaIOP
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXczXx3n2C
"A week," Ethan blurted out again.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5O2LzXRz3
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudzXOTSucd
Terrence's eyes lit up with new found interest. "Who's your heat partner?"155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl2KB2bIoo
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3iu3TbF9w
"Mate," Josephine corrected.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMyY75Omn4
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvuoYfCwyH
"Whatever," he replied in annoyance. He focused in on Ethan again. "Who have you been having sex with this week?"155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneUAcuGRSz
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyGz81Hapa
Ethan knew they were looking for other Charax to catch but it didn't matter, he could answer the question honestly without endangering anyone. "No one." Josephine looked at him with a different curiosity now, he tried to ignore her behaviour and focus on the man in front of him.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLdcNEu2uu
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb4xYtcVR0
Terrence shook his head in disbelief. "There's no way that's true."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO1oy7umtq
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgNt6meQ8T
"It's the truth," Ethan insisted.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5o5PtDz5k
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKHxZsJrvO
Terrence eyed him suspiciously. "I don't believe you. I bet you didn't go two days without finding someone or attacking some random Terran."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7hDSP7ZSy
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6kTaZlyAV
"I didn't!" Ethan replied angrily, leaning forwards in his chair as far as the bindings would allow. He glared fiercely at the man in front of him. "And I don't care if you don't believe me."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXCGCLypWZ
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d4sQfWiop
"That's not even possible, is it?" His interrogator glanced at Josephine, who simply shrugged in response. "We'll come back to that," he muttered, looking back at the piece of paper.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xBPZZSDfu
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsp8RbaQBG
Ethan settled back down into the chair, feeling somewhat satisfied.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc0RkNYb2S
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeKrnuxd8U
Terrence flipped the paper over. "Charax technology. What do you know?"155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBgTDQD6Ws
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr282z8v3T
Ethan realized they were truly interrogating him now. He almost blurted out something he shouldn't have. There's no way they could know who he was, who his family was. His best option would be to play dumb, if he even could in this condition.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JZg5AaUrn
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5xTjk7wPf
"I– What– That's what this is about?" Ethan struggled, trying to avoid having to lie.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUxnHRyqXR
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoEiuX4u1j
"He's too young to know anything about the tech," Josephine commented from her perch.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUNE3048z5
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesDPBHpmmU
"We've always got to check," Terrence muttered irritably, glancing back at the page. "Where are there more Charax?"155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8Boajp4in
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGznaB46JF
"I don't know," Ethan answered honestly. He was rather relieved he didn't know any other Charax's identity at the moment. They could do whatever they wanted to him, but he could never put another one of his people in harms way.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetUbtJLmIM
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uISUax8GS
"I don't believe you," Terrence said dryly.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspnjngrbkO
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNCxDp7l2X
"It's the truth," Ethan stated flatly.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn3dGQzCTu
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39uN1Bc0Rj
"You've been here your whole life. You've got to know someone. Give me a name," Terrence insisted.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBcHiAPrDP
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETzBRR75Wq
Terrence kept pressing him, convinced Ethan was lying. As the man interrogated him, Ethan felt like his whole body was spinning. He felt like he'd fall over at any moment, despite being strapped into a chair that he couldn't escape from if he tried. He became more and more frustrated with his captor, who refused to accept his answer, until he couldn't bottle in the frustration any longer.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2bYjCmGAV
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmtPddGQqB
"I can't!" Ethan shouted at them, at his wit's end. Terrence didn't seem at all convinced by his little outburst. Ethan felt overly exhausted by the single act and he slumped in the chair.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jdTNx9U6z
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuJMiU40vN
Josephine had lost interest in him a while ago, appearing content to let her partner run the interrogation so far, but now she spoke up. "I don't think you're going to get an answer out of him right now."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8AeLhJt1o
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhQhWTPmNu
"He must know at least one," Terrence insisted still.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEkp0ZYzV7
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRyDhCDuqN
"It's not a truth serum," Josephine argued.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf9zWMMRLE
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36OFzHaRSe
It feels like it is, Ethan thought.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF3u8yOeEv
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJaprjO2dc
"You'll have to try again later. He's almost gone." Josephine sounded disinterested now.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D075x3tPj
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhftqO3z5xk
Terrence nodded in agreement. "We're done here." He put the paper down on the table then came over to Ethan, starting to loosen the bindings on his ankles. Ethan resisted the urge to kick the man in the face, opting to wait until he was completely free to make his move. Ethan tried to watch attentively as Terrence undid the restraints binding him to the chair.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslKSm3XdLW
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6jqXtFVzX
As soon as Ethan was free, he tried to throw a punch at the big man. His captor didn't even try to stop him, simply watching as he landed awkwardly on the hard concrete floor. He went to get up and fell back to the ground quickly before even managing to attempt a second swing.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiSrhOZkQE
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbAG6EgAB6
Ethan tried to stand up again. He quickly found out that he couldn't even stand on his own, let alone fight back. Whatever they'd given him had made his limbs weak. Josephine came over and grabbed one of his arms.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaBXKT8p1p
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5m5T9JI8S
"Don't touch me," Ethan grunted, all the protest he could manage in this state.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokLNEM86AZ
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtapARq8jk
The blond looked at him curiously. She put her fingers on his neck to take his pulse. He tried to push her away weakly, unsuccessfully. "Hmmm... maybe you are right about going straight into processing."155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroKiNgXrH7
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD4fLwFK01
"Told you. I've done this enough times that I know which ones are worth the trouble and which aren't," Terrence said as he grabbed Ethan's other arm.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XqEOw9atM
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXeyAYYPy6
The two of them dragged Ethan to his feet, he was very aware of how his captors were almost entirely supporting his weight. They dragged him through the door into another room with three doors and some furniture. His struggles were so weak that his captors didn't even appear to notice them.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQIBDesf2M
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZxqDyxB2p
His vision was blurry but he tried his best to remember the layout of the room as they dragged him through the door to their left, which opened up to a staircase leading downwards.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBncOGzzPs
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAhFnkxqMn
He could barely keep his eyes open as they brought him down into the cold basement, he could see the edges of his vision going dark. He suddenly felt himself be dropped lazily on to something unexpectedly soft. Then heard a click as he felt something cold and hard around his ankle.155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFmQA4h3Wl
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00T9uMZcGb
He couldn't open his eyes to see where he was. He couldn't make out what the voices where saying, only vaguely aware they were becoming fainter. The darkness was all that remained.8964 copyright protection151ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlbUk7sjID 維尼
