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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4TZcGXTR2
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bz9y9pan9
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqFtevUSxv
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcrmrYWSjy
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT9MtObZIg
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vTOhUrr3M
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTqvuFaWGt
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBujONP26b
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmp28zs8aU
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgp4Xlw1W7
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo50P4dCIT
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxho4xB5667
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6NrCjul6E
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJBhyGBHaH
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsLc4hizE9
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3GNLHgNwr
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0r0El78IT
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv7Sa1rA0h
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS24YQmFuB
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZIm1eRbjA
"What are you doing?" Ethan mumbled, still dazed and more than a little confused.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSSfv0SZEC
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ587uVSSo2w
"Look who's awake." The blonde woman smiled at him in a way that sent shivers down his spine.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72HO9UOtgH
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lGugGhp8v
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzoV46LGs1
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8gFDeS27t
"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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGyxC2ewbN
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSPHypL8f3
"Josephine, get over here." Ethan heard from the man behind him. "Hold him still."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZnpHhkGPs
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx75Uk6TJl
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8SqXohvli
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh1QT8XXPI
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jRcNAfk9G
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdJKUOLbd8
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KYixALeha
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodOqEddYYG
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9BV1quk7e
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT49w1OvwWV
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA4ap4pvJa
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lIZMFo0mb
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgJx10Jh6T
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth5HrK1KiF
Her eyes darted upwards to the man cutting his hair. "Done?"121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDjGGjxa5c
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFeRoSGNjI
"I got enough," the other one replied as he walked over the to table.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5YmtV9MZ8
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN8fQPdWJC
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."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFAMXQMhxY
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vfQ2XNthr
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNngotd7uPV
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoNsfBOWyU
She walked around him, examining him with a critical eye. "A male in great condition. Purebred. Young. Healthy. Minimal scaring. It's a shame."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzjRb8TCuB
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tftzfyIWJ
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrqkprLoLP
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSdPYRbyn8
"Don't be upset, those are all compliments." She spoke with a false sweetness in her voice that came across as patronizing.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP1uqoBVsH
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjkNSRmYbk
The man was preoccupied doing something with the equipment on the table. "He's not going to be in this condition for long."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ17lmJfaP
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2X2k1KaxK
"I know, it's such a waste." Josephine pouted dramatically.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDTHtCXiqF
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoim7fK6oi
"What are you talking about?" Ethan asked, worried by how the conversation was turning.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04PLZiJ8BN
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOwyTA7m5L
They both ignored him.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAchxoEr0R
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qzeyW9EE2
"Hey! What's going on?" Ethan raised his voice in frustration.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0EVtNFfZQ
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDyxygoTn2
The man turned around to glare at Ethan. "Get the message and shut up already or we'll gag you."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxORG2linVe
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtc2IruTkF
"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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3iBbsShST
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuBegeNLon
"We'll see," her partner answered flatly.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfYG1oIgYO
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpOLl6VufB
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw2r5L2x6o
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyklMYUaqHe
The man turned around with a swab in his hands. "Open your mouth."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB80JSyQ25
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLjM2QuYQW
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQfcJ5zHt5
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7N0dm1P25
The man pulled out the swab and examined it. "That's enough for a sample."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP3T4oTB9L
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdrxCflrSS
"Maybe we should take some other samples while we have him out here, all set up," the blonde suggested.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN41dV2TIqk
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMqSFEFz9j
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqfJqsngKc
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZHGoS0Hxw
"Knock it off. We've got other work to do right now," the man told her sternly.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AjoY0G1zr
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmmKkz9vu9
"Terrence, you are never any fun. James would at least consider it," Josephine complained.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKB9Ang7w5
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBbcSznr6E
Ethan added that information to the list of things he knew so far. There's at least three of them, he concluded.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp8xQGNQR5
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fDdopwjnZ
"I'm not James," Terrence retorted, handing her a thermometer.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwhjQ7x1dD
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM9nKw51iy
"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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlUgg10KO8
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlpwmMMGCZ
Ethan opened his mouth slightly and held himself still despite wanting nothing more than to bash her head in.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIYGp9N5bw
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO8HMPWPSj
Josephine slipped the device in. "No biting now."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBs2NmDpkI
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdUXL5MRbC
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlrfK78eZg
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMvUknbKuo
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLQBLBBh14
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw9zAtKzmC
Ethan's eyes flickered between his captor and the liquid. "I'm good."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsD2sMnmgh
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaBsn1toxN
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."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9Z03c7e6Q
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O51Z9CvoB
"No, I don't want it," Ethan refused, eyeing the strange meal skeptically.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtAzNxvbDf
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5zmDdK8iN
"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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjzg6kN32S
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL00Tqn83rM
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSHDwSGiie
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX68ZSGxY9d
"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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNo9Wq80K9
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5gF7OVD3T
Ethan heard a masculine voice near him. "Let's take a break."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvyBGaDHFt
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cgA2pOr14
"Sure," a more feminine voice replied.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PzqlnRDEV
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNicBHkfEr
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdDQ66CR6G
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZydkwOL3f
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk47pNL2iw
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIRPOhV80c
Josephine came around and studied him closely, examining his pupils. "It's working all right."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumoIQeJ4eq
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLFxIBspTH
"Let's try this again," Terrence said as he held the liquid up to his lips again.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjqhWwXpdX
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBLQrPx2RL
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftTOR1rAva
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2aqPjI8K1
"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."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4gtblfClN
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5K20JbCJJ
Ethan, hunched over in the chair, tried to catch his breath. It proved a more difficult task than he expected.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsa3VYkRkn
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ5C65N2Df
"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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWviS5JrtZ7
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoqOr7Aaf9
"He's a bit too old for training. And in heat," Terrence retorted, still in a bad mood.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuVwh2KWzR
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBWunMhKPQ
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."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSYEaTy8Tv
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufr0waE9Q9
Ethan shuddered at the thought of what she was proposing.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYDruRHgNo
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODGGa8MVlO
"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."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEmAMRNRgA
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoRjRovifz
"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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAX1b13o1B
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcsyQmCHJA
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."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERemxFD2eV
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijiZcDIKM2
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkXYm9z34a
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeADcicogk
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtNM6zDnYG
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpnrY0QQnJ
"Swallow," Terrence ordered.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83SV6cZQno
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC3yPmIO9g
Ethan refused to obey out of pure stubbornness.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYJWbImuJb
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wMudKA8Wp
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xc2fPK80Y
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKn5olurRp
"See, he just needs the proper motivation," Josephine said happily.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV0dOZyAg2
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wu29jyg7X
Terrence ignored her, heading back over to the table.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WB0jORDps
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1zULKXPtn
Ethan glared at her. "It doesn't matter what you give me. I won't do it."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntUOibIG3q
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEb9kHqn95
Josephine smirked dangerously as she stroked his shoulder. "You will. Don't be scared, you'd enjoy every minute of it."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyGs9o8iRE
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PUpLQPvLc
Ethan glared at her angrily. He tried to shake her hand off but she dug her nails into his shoulder.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCojwLIzLb
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OmDPEuAys
"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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kyk0ASfdg
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3AQc9cujh
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d5zjA28LE
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACT7YyDWPt
Josephine raised an eyebrow at him as she pulled her hand away, studying him intently as if he were some kind of interesting specimen.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfzbvXjZro
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM1g1cPljT
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."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS5DLV2XyJ
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDs88smTEB
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDq0W0Xy3J
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ4Z9x0hLa
"Where's the fun in that?" Josephine responded, still staring at Ethan.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrbPldr65n
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYWO7TEmdD
"In spending your cut," Terrence stated dryly. He kept working away with something over on the table, blocked from Ethan's view.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZGQxmxdfb
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwybAhERGDh
Josephine frowned. "Seems like a waste, we could get more. Given the excellent condition the body's in. Or go for auction."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBjAgtj5o0
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8EDTUTmWG
"The boss gave his orders," Terrence told her seriously.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fkTJWamky
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRvEC73VEH
Josephine joined him over at the table. "Orders can be changed."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtJvMzDURg
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzSt8qNK0L
"You know he's probably already secured buyers," Terrence said dismissively.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJvwnXxTiT
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNTUfrnHo1
"I know," Josephine said disappointingly. "I'm not saying we shouldn't offload him eventually."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0cLdk9ATM
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4usGjNUkab
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAQWzoWk6r
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblzZUkDOeS
"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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpE3nA0xhy
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVjyjxA8U6
"Yes, yes, I know how the heat ones get. I'm aware of the time limit," Josephine replied nonchalantly.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdlDTx8tXM
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3KX4ZSdXk
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX59gS235c
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiL90GiuV9
"You don't have any openings at the moment," Terrence reminded her. "I don't know know what you're expecting out of him."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSG3ywoDyw
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFCeCbZ8fP
"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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUZTGRUxf5
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybGhJDdjKd
"Good luck with that, I'm going to do my job. No use going the extra mile," Terrence responded, slightly annoyed.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkkjuWwD5K

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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvXO6OZC17
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcnBqkknCX
"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?"121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlNcClcHQP
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5XIUMfK7q
"Yeah?" Ethan answered uncertainly, confused about what was happening now.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjX7HSlpCV
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRNGeTKrQe
Terrence looked at the new sheet of paper in his hands. "How long have you been on Earth?"121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmiJktKAn2
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q6VsnKdqf
"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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaIz9UyRwD
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzTJkNmf5b
"How old are you?" Terrence asked.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFanV32eRn
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm88prhbaQ9
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."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWrYWRB7hs
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oQyF5Fad6
"Late bloomer," Josephine interjected from her seat on top of the table.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3av2FB3k3
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtfM3Jjb6g
"How long have you been in heat?" Terrence asked the next question.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M7OdM04zc
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgkOpAarSy
"A week," Ethan blurted out again.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1Dr00SzJ8
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD4cpNu3YD
Terrence's eyes lit up with new found interest. "Who's your heat partner?"121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAPsxZ2c57
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmekxqedzn9
"Mate," Josephine corrected.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oCkghH4MB
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ6NwaWlFc
"Whatever," he replied in annoyance. He focused in on Ethan again. "Who have you been having sex with this week?"121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3jGZoZmZn
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGogPG8cC8
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRakKKvUvK
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2Jk0kt2JH
Terrence shook his head in disbelief. "There's no way that's true."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlx1ciOE2B
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhJ797dDX5
"It's the truth," Ethan insisted.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFoQmaafYB
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCXkRUANgn
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."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHr2r7bPCj
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8SSU852dI
"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."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyQ1w6cw0X
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nyJOqlljN
"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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ErAUIpXD0
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTnVyzXrkC
Ethan settled back down into the chair, feeling somewhat satisfied.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWbMjrV6KV
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMvyRM2qOX
Terrence flipped the paper over. "Charax technology. What do you know?"121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA05MgKXes
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtjEwBwSyO
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJFORa8ZdL
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3crRbxblL
"I– What– That's what this is about?" Ethan struggled, trying to avoid having to lie.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1Gn6M7UU6
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFQvuuhyHe
"He's too young to know anything about the tech," Josephine commented from her perch.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHiyJJpC9l
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jiIjEgtXS
"We've always got to check," Terrence muttered irritably, glancing back at the page. "Where are there more Charax?"121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNnJypwAdq
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApLyIwD8FP
"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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EuNQVU3TQ
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiWF5Lb5oX
"I don't believe you," Terrence said dryly.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH5r8JibQQ
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbQYDU4ReH
"It's the truth," Ethan stated flatly.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPdlB5ghGU
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kKh3gOMTV
"You've been here your whole life. You've got to know someone. Give me a name," Terrence insisted.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7Qb9mEcjB
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjZr4HytJP
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAgWEBQtSh
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4eSJoyS2m
"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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqXgd77olk
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnI4twZB2m
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."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1P77PTXtN
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IIi1YXlb5
"He must know at least one," Terrence insisted still.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFWKf5mCbg
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaab3FrbU3w
"It's not a truth serum," Josephine argued.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIaVY8Ft6R
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73k2d6NkGE
It feels like it is, Ethan thought.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqRifdABCs
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3qoxfLYid
"You'll have to try again later. He's almost gone." Josephine sounded disinterested now.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcD0ewGnY8
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgWG5FYEMI
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo3EaBYPd8
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEetsfh7BxN
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFKv3SQh9g
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR5GKaRXLZ
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQXBja2oT0
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A9pabAN98
"Don't touch me," Ethan grunted, all the protest he could manage in this state.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2urySJAo8
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInJHvAPkpt
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."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztBTSZeRTk
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu06KkX3vXO
"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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtXjIV3jyS
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1uTiYOV2z
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqHWydPxhP
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxtZVYcNOR
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cir7JAAR8
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKgdgKI4PX
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.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgQkuEJhtf
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdap0bUHN4
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 protection117ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT8q8UjGYM 維尼
