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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3fgUCtsVN
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDqX6y4bUV
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NAn79o9hi
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz216zBLIsH
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPxOcnWAcA
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTblGyVfMz2
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIcoq5FnBC
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhN5wyMYgJ
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCiVC384Wt
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblnrg9HEqc
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh8f1BdYpb
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtGZfLdruM
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRveXFWswG
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK4FcyAINP
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGAnFHwpnm
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwCCP4Xolr
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAHUNSP9qf
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NM9AoXcL0
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLEF0d1oks
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeehceqL4Xp
"What are you doing?" Ethan mumbled, still dazed and more than a little confused.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQQpAGOvsA
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkKTFADt4E
"Look who's awake." The blonde woman smiled at him in a way that sent shivers down his spine.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJw9qtgJSI
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYirL73yHu
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCVaWLgTnS
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScLHZpDoAJ
"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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4vKHAuf6C
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSnK6oWCcf
"Josephine, get over here." Ethan heard from the man behind him. "Hold him still."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9CRF1jiS4
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NsIDQrIJ4
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfIEAr3tae
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3qWGmvs1l
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG0T82njxi
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXeNNFdj6i
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwrWonLfVT
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTUBlGv4Sd
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVuOQOKNM6
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KenDRJCvx
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuYZLXWnjL
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdTHqiA0dQ
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIxhScmdNV
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04BfzlULtb
Her eyes darted upwards to the man cutting his hair. "Done?"89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5I0nMRRlm
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCV4QSsbtP
"I got enough," the other one replied as he walked over the to table.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mrYVGy4S0
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWUkOTAbOo
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."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Aml0582xH
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI1BAALAsI
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTZMT7SWIc
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWlSxjWvtJ
She walked around him, examining him with a critical eye. "A male in great condition. Purebred. Young. Healthy. Minimal scaring. It's a shame."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnQWRczbuk
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5piFns0ekT
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46KHxaUDcZ
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRqfOmR07Z
"Don't be upset, those are all compliments." She spoke with a false sweetness in her voice that came across as patronizing.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzdKGGVuj4
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrQLhWvFMU
The man was preoccupied doing something with the equipment on the table. "He's not going to be in this condition for long."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1Qpq45X7T
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbEAn3C70w
"I know, it's such a waste." Josephine pouted dramatically.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wO4TOZRb0
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbvuf6JVuv
"What are you talking about?" Ethan asked, worried by how the conversation was turning.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdcDIfPrzv
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqnw597f0h
They both ignored him.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SLl7CjQKW
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SDFE3JDyL
"Hey! What's going on?" Ethan raised his voice in frustration.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0Ek4PAaDD
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2npVrJvej
The man turned around to glare at Ethan. "Get the message and shut up already or we'll gag you."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcPgIYktof
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQbc3pZ7D3
"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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFqktxcxnQ
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7hsQQA2YS
"We'll see," her partner answered flatly.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZww2pRvbur
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CDGQ4p2vr
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJNS5t2bqn
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsBMYmnlpw
The man turned around with a swab in his hands. "Open your mouth."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRMRHv1nkz
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHqksSlr5C
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RUeaVCuaV
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBWjvWgB07
The man pulled out the swab and examined it. "That's enough for a sample."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zLrlQWuQH
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpIHlAev6v
"Maybe we should take some other samples while we have him out here, all set up," the blonde suggested.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo95Uud9Gc
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjMqVnd4M0
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZr31Tu0pF
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKnbCAxuKv
"Knock it off. We've got other work to do right now," the man told her sternly.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7mxl0WkUS
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7hiICMOkk
"Terrence, you are never any fun. James would at least consider it," Josephine complained.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6tCyF3s04
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KdSiEwruW
Ethan added that information to the list of things he knew so far. There's at least three of them, he concluded.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDUawP2Td4
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFS5Um8nnB
"I'm not James," Terrence retorted, handing her a thermometer.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllkMh3SKZc
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGkhEiwyxj
"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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsPMYZdFza
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgcHMLNUVC
Ethan opened his mouth slightly and held himself still despite wanting nothing more than to bash her head in.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gbLmYK4hY
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ280W2OSxTk
Josephine slipped the device in. "No biting now."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhrLYtgotv
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1XHFnNGFe
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk7UwCJKdB
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNk6hcKJNT
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnB3tb7GyY
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHuyeWtK6a
Ethan's eyes flickered between his captor and the liquid. "I'm good."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlXbAH5i1Q
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7AMiVUKcc
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."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdR32Lfbdx
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1CPHujGiL
"No, I don't want it," Ethan refused, eyeing the strange meal skeptically.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2DesKcIzw
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBewlVA0VZX
"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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8H7u0ryEF
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGueCf8YD0
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiGJipIB6M
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZXwjh7DwE
"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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5fBdcxJKf
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEPmdNwZ1X
Ethan heard a masculine voice near him. "Let's take a break."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxNeE3xaSW
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbMbE8s6is
"Sure," a more feminine voice replied.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiGnJNZPiH
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMS2umLw8t
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWfWH5rErm
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoRjZGaPjK
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCOddmvSqw
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIEphsbLQD
Josephine came around and studied him closely, examining his pupils. "It's working all right."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIz92iLC44
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSXR2tNXZG
"Let's try this again," Terrence said as he held the liquid up to his lips again.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKr7MSBEbO
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wGTielsSP
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBuopIMT8p
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqqiVoaZV1
"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."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlTNHgI9mK
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YVFYVp0kf
Ethan, hunched over in the chair, tried to catch his breath. It proved a more difficult task than he expected.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg5VEjwFPW
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHX0WYZkP6
"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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pqMZ2y6X4
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfUMRl3bmm
"He's a bit too old for training. And in heat," Terrence retorted, still in a bad mood.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0nLTNIvud
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2HOoF2g4l
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."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zicgI72Wz
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXvhHOCuyJ
Ethan shuddered at the thought of what she was proposing.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XGCvjQqZh
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVzFQXtHPL
"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."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUzeYSpz1N
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblPejrRjm2
"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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tUJJ4q8fJ
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9l1p5MJ0B
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."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFLX8dnPgh
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOPOgMZLDe
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ693iMPZu7l
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxqSX4W6tc
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQsxZqoaP0
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJF8IPorWU
"Swallow," Terrence ordered.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtdiE6Qry2
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8IaIEmzXr
Ethan refused to obey out of pure stubbornness.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihqMjGEQEF
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVllNP6gaa
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdR4Me9sjF
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4ECmEqObR
"See, he just needs the proper motivation," Josephine said happily.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdUq9KBBaf
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsoV4mCq6s
Terrence ignored her, heading back over to the table.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbZPTFnV8q
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRRoJD94gk
Ethan glared at her. "It doesn't matter what you give me. I won't do it."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39kXXyhfO0
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5iVZqsChZ
Josephine smirked dangerously as she stroked his shoulder. "You will. Don't be scared, you'd enjoy every minute of it."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yhKcheKLt
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HA656GpsF
Ethan glared at her angrily. He tried to shake her hand off but she dug her nails into his shoulder.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLlgmO4Zmp
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DiOTEsiD0
"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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLd9Vtb1N0
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ltZddVc27
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6TjHFgI8n
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfisNgCGcDw
Josephine raised an eyebrow at him as she pulled her hand away, studying him intently as if he were some kind of interesting specimen.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuhC3ksH9r
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtFnxjH27j
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."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGwUtdnYBQ
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT9JqMQFsl
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWngF18BYhT
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgdzTXIUKH
"Where's the fun in that?" Josephine responded, still staring at Ethan.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuYKi4yPdT
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0pxUi0490
"In spending your cut," Terrence stated dryly. He kept working away with something over on the table, blocked from Ethan's view.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIhhRaBqvt
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG930sjocX
Josephine frowned. "Seems like a waste, we could get more. Given the excellent condition the body's in. Or go for auction."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkApYniXPz9
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8motxvwjXi
"The boss gave his orders," Terrence told her seriously.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHsng5Hclf
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoshRhNHnQq
Josephine joined him over at the table. "Orders can be changed."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpyCrsM17F
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuDrK1BCTr
"You know he's probably already secured buyers," Terrence said dismissively.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5Px2UOoB6
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ1qMTa0Bk
"I know," Josephine said disappointingly. "I'm not saying we shouldn't offload him eventually."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8UuL2JVxz
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g0roGk645
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGKNoeshkf
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sEw1GWkXh
"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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgyi7Qs9Wm
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpPB3VhNn2
"Yes, yes, I know how the heat ones get. I'm aware of the time limit," Josephine replied nonchalantly.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryZ5Zbc3hA
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqX8wgTqMU
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vDbkLhP3n
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PTEdEBcDf
"You don't have any openings at the moment," Terrence reminded her. "I don't know know what you're expecting out of him."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeH5O1D6Vi
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBThLn1NW8l
"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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukhEiv3OYu
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1Z2UI9eV4
"Good luck with that, I'm going to do my job. No use going the extra mile," Terrence responded, slightly annoyed.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtVlADHdt0
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATTaAWrx7F
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnst0Q7cx2
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpwuQ26ksC
"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?"89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSraR7ACRYx
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV06LCDriSi
"Yeah?" Ethan answered uncertainly, confused about what was happening now.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHwZIMQdyb
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFlFM7WUSV
Terrence looked at the new sheet of paper in his hands. "How long have you been on Earth?"89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCeZGYEMON
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgIg50S9mt
"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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLZD8la4IA
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29Ma9Cl56S
"How old are you?" Terrence asked.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNkacjHS0W
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZKYkxhqkz
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."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR0OGSNDDa
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvPxbAIraI
"Late bloomer," Josephine interjected from her seat on top of the table.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaywQYaZywS
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDwoLM6Emn
"How long have you been in heat?" Terrence asked the next question.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMF3Zi8VRx
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMuIeKCaLQ
"A week," Ethan blurted out again.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR0bCsvm8L
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsNR93nGbQ
Terrence's eyes lit up with new found interest. "Who's your heat partner?"89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF3j5ArkmQ
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79hgZzrPZ8
"Mate," Josephine corrected.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiVyCxzTcr
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIzgldecxu
"Whatever," he replied in annoyance. He focused in on Ethan again. "Who have you been having sex with this week?"89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxMppMbaVO
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcbNXQDC5N
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ12Zfh0ZOh
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINBU6pRGFZ
Terrence shook his head in disbelief. "There's no way that's true."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH62IJVWtwT
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHHuqkaGAu
"It's the truth," Ethan insisted.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJVsq8MJHL
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRyuqYzOjF
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."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsdhFP5yJs
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5UMJoLFv1
"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."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXV8KBl3jR
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6smMCDEsH6
"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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy7mhNplmc
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Eec8UhHWR
Ethan settled back down into the chair, feeling somewhat satisfied.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3frdTmWYo
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1Z0koujVN
Terrence flipped the paper over. "Charax technology. What do you know?"89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcD4t14336
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9EcWGnhqZ
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN17KhB50FX
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFzxOoPlzq
"I– What– That's what this is about?" Ethan struggled, trying to avoid having to lie.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iIZLd9SzK
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBQCweC4f7
"He's too young to know anything about the tech," Josephine commented from her perch.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4qOtthfFQ
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjnwSjpNFt
"We've always got to check," Terrence muttered irritably, glancing back at the page. "Where are there more Charax?"89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmnw3Yk1Vn
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5nRjF5FKw
"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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ941WTLMSM
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGfeVXZ99y
"I don't believe you," Terrence said dryly.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYFUV4pNun
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacaQHN3Dux
"It's the truth," Ethan stated flatly.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcroHJIkKFG
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrngxJ6Mfy6
"You've been here your whole life. You've got to know someone. Give me a name," Terrence insisted.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViObq6PK6E
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjUKzkgi9t
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXSC1FLRse
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLf0CpTkcu
"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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUuyGISv9x
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZkedvmE65
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."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM2skhVwLR
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6HXtpEk0g
"He must know at least one," Terrence insisted still.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XHYOhTVVq
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh185GaLAC
"It's not a truth serum," Josephine argued.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStQGEso0ab
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lUEx0R51z
It feels like it is, Ethan thought.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTCDihuZOt
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxNdq5NpHI
"You'll have to try again later. He's almost gone." Josephine sounded disinterested now.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVROxhGu2nj
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxnoGXZhGY
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxnHUvo9sK
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJywJeW9Ld
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWOhjC676M
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3R0hZx7Yo
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8yxVv042W
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqyIIjaiT0
"Don't touch me," Ethan grunted, all the protest he could manage in this state.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC6lmXM3ZH
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMSjRcCU3r
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."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8PxeHByxM
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPPDxCMiQF
"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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFXA9tIZVh
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlezdtcp68K
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdYN7OdVE4
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvuXHH8RX2
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBk8BXrPfC
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoCLYCGbRI
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.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFlJEvIRhI
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC26LEJr3H
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 protection85ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPokYUhAgz 維尼
