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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefYZo1PlqN
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52kORynoGw
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUrZG5i8wz
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORnviD8gi7
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR5wMQPV5G
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp7wvFKnDd
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Vo9iVns4l
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFdWuGAhgh
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezhCF7lW6i
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEkPS4jzkC
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGlDPg2xoS
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGufIFm8DFe
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwCHqnh6GX
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO7LbyTsGS
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokg86knDw6
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWdyolIy0g
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07l81ejvGE
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB64D2fj2k
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EKkypDBy9
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlTr4h6iJq
"What are you doing?" Ethan mumbled, still dazed and more than a little confused.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLrDTO4c2t
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3Hm3fZvH9
"Look who's awake." The blonde woman smiled at him in a way that sent shivers down his spine.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KyWLoqOql
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VvjzGHmVv
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus6enfuFuH
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIIylF4Gi7
"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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYM8yJZDxi
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pxMEoQFNQ
"Josephine, get over here." Ethan heard from the man behind him. "Hold him still."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr8UGtIDlp
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFdbOYvMhg
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKfZ8blPt4
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiQGU4ONF3
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAlLWOH0aV
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL5cr7jH1f
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe8xUwuqxC
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOefuHq5FZ
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO8bmQse1D
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS8AZZqILw
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq2uCfQM8q
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52rs9s6VAO
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKoz72pzmM
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRSbh7LwQp
Her eyes darted upwards to the man cutting his hair. "Done?"48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLF09WcJbt
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmduTEF0UK
"I got enough," the other one replied as he walked over the to table.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUhUNewEXR
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCAMOlDrHw
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."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXw3N8COao
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVMYgphG2H
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlgc3pWgwl
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusk2ysDA0A
She walked around him, examining him with a critical eye. "A male in great condition. Purebred. Young. Healthy. Minimal scaring. It's a shame."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubJpK1qJSo
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja6L5f18tw
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDpO2GsJUf
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcD6QN3prC
"Don't be upset, those are all compliments." She spoke with a false sweetness in her voice that came across as patronizing.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssG33yWvbJ
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0GpLqcUcN
The man was preoccupied doing something with the equipment on the table. "He's not going to be in this condition for long."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyu4QOxPKi
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4quYmjvgv
"I know, it's such a waste." Josephine pouted dramatically.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGcK2ixtsK
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9NlNbskib
"What are you talking about?" Ethan asked, worried by how the conversation was turning.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlN7o480H2
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KgdB3zHTC
They both ignored him.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AMmYMPq3e
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5vEkygIoC
"Hey! What's going on?" Ethan raised his voice in frustration.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIqmUCNQpv
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAR1CdKvdQ
The man turned around to glare at Ethan. "Get the message and shut up already or we'll gag you."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjC6PeYw0N
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9jEJOBBE3
"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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4daY8gMwI
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUv1sbgA93
"We'll see," her partner answered flatly.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSSSy6bNz8
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb46T0dBcT
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQTPfUiSIB
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QUadX8LHq
The man turned around with a swab in his hands. "Open your mouth."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmd0QFXrhJ
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QMWuotxgw
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTwQH0PkgK
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eHNUkmBrV
The man pulled out the swab and examined it. "That's enough for a sample."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcQm3dO6sf
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq4xeo8tvG
"Maybe we should take some other samples while we have him out here, all set up," the blonde suggested.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ9r1LtZg4
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkkgNrsft7
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAbZ1hmUzX
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7xG3iDtrk
"Knock it off. We've got other work to do right now," the man told her sternly.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M88oP6eGY
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGQRP58OJr
"Terrence, you are never any fun. James would at least consider it," Josephine complained.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19WjxYCLVJ
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMfhuPNOyA
Ethan added that information to the list of things he knew so far. There's at least three of them, he concluded.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezSRJ57eq7
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7G2S9LzHP
"I'm not James," Terrence retorted, handing her a thermometer.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XgCH5irPC
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAvpUFKhgI
"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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsivONtXjMI
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdD1nPVWUz
Ethan opened his mouth slightly and held himself still despite wanting nothing more than to bash her head in.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YZjqGlxT8
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOtChxfVEr
Josephine slipped the device in. "No biting now."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC6J8slSq5
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mEMIHIOWc
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ7Su4cAuA
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsOVwxLjFi
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNAGS66Ggk
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvQb3ocaTC
Ethan's eyes flickered between his captor and the liquid. "I'm good."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmvSeM6N3k
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJPQa5yXwG
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."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7hv6Cz1Be
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaN14Xlo4f
"No, I don't want it," Ethan refused, eyeing the strange meal skeptically.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc70Oq14ZK
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxelqxBbs2p
"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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTHqtgKpMa
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfC34dQuiS
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBpJ5xVBpx
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6UqZWT0gN
"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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM4WjYAte9
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1itCGH5P95
Ethan heard a masculine voice near him. "Let's take a break."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6ysYVALa8
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0Ky5uqkdH
"Sure," a more feminine voice replied.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57ODa6TyBS
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8udzozL3a
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2VO1eDl9w
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LF9yUi37t
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51navhGFHi
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ9mIjs6h6
Josephine came around and studied him closely, examining his pupils. "It's working all right."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFtnM0G2zD
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIA6n4USoH
"Let's try this again," Terrence said as he held the liquid up to his lips again.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIqEr0sx3n
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOTIMc1NRS
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lvwrpxSOh
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBQroluvkK
"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."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGZmeDpYBJ
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZQbQRBAu6
Ethan, hunched over in the chair, tried to catch his breath. It proved a more difficult task than he expected.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yuMNaD7D8
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6ltsOtLxM
"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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtahHixo53t
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Di7YeAOpL
"He's a bit too old for training. And in heat," Terrence retorted, still in a bad mood.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERCxsZ99EP
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOrfsmO98B
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."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaONAqxAoaS
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwxfk3RjRw
Ethan shuddered at the thought of what she was proposing.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDe9Sb7Ogk
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm0rOxGynh
"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."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIfgQ0PHtN
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtH5HYUjg5
"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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMprRMGJMIx
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSEUm2MJEc
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."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0PH2Oae0U
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHBlUCLqPm
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvuQiWTJxZ
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyXPDCKcQd
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSsZQ1rp23
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSNGzmZ6wz
"Swallow," Terrence ordered.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXVYImdm5O
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1FLafrRyM
Ethan refused to obey out of pure stubbornness.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl1Oe36Un3
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jQBIFpuqQ
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr40u3nU8H
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzlIpC39n5
"See, he just needs the proper motivation," Josephine said happily.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DozYZqUuZ
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvFxUTyCRO
Terrence ignored her, heading back over to the table.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJV7kvb47a
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcux6Y5Vw1E
Ethan glared at her. "It doesn't matter what you give me. I won't do it."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMs3Nxsk0p
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWJLOgpPvF
Josephine smirked dangerously as she stroked his shoulder. "You will. Don't be scared, you'd enjoy every minute of it."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wTXB5H8RQ
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX5zY4XUHw
Ethan glared at her angrily. He tried to shake her hand off but she dug her nails into his shoulder.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WMLtou1dz
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMojvICAz0u
"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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYefxWS5dD
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV3BWdAjQ8
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jqVy4pzCx
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJHMeFWGCo
Josephine raised an eyebrow at him as she pulled her hand away, studying him intently as if he were some kind of interesting specimen.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYuX7ZslMz
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXt37Tzgck
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."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhn2FrJJrU
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum8n6Y6XYR
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMg3h6bHEo
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYRB8g6GuH
"Where's the fun in that?" Josephine responded, still staring at Ethan.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiqSb3VDTE
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57i1x6V3NA
"In spending your cut," Terrence stated dryly. He kept working away with something over on the table, blocked from Ethan's view.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTc0Lrsj9W
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOcykT3XzX
Josephine frowned. "Seems like a waste, we could get more. Given the excellent condition the body's in. Or go for auction."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUnmy4kDEx
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NayUulEo1
"The boss gave his orders," Terrence told her seriously.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFphvz2TvdX
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q5IBi6fqj
Josephine joined him over at the table. "Orders can be changed."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SNqiWLRd7
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTa99ZRdqs
"You know he's probably already secured buyers," Terrence said dismissively.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoNSIhbAA0
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftS1ihztJV
"I know," Josephine said disappointingly. "I'm not saying we shouldn't offload him eventually."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwT1kYVG2Q
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWXTgQzRtI
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLxgxNMvTt
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfYZgmkfJ7
"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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGY2ZC0TCT
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2ZBSoh1UF
"Yes, yes, I know how the heat ones get. I'm aware of the time limit," Josephine replied nonchalantly.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq1H4ZRmbu
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPEgpB23H4
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn9MpZoBaC
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4bYa6za4i
"You don't have any openings at the moment," Terrence reminded her. "I don't know know what you're expecting out of him."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsZHAK3Z1B
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfO4dG83Lo
"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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyErcXay0d
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMG3225L59
"Good luck with that, I'm going to do my job. No use going the extra mile," Terrence responded, slightly annoyed.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4Gd7fnE1C
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GytMPgje6
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulcmVGOyLs
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp8cYNc9bQ
"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?"48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoENlWztBE5
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jSxQ3hmuB
"Yeah?" Ethan answered uncertainly, confused about what was happening now.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn1Pv7wgol
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdpIZOJaJs
Terrence looked at the new sheet of paper in his hands. "How long have you been on Earth?"48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKjNvNpQpt
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YZXBnve30
"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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYL8L96w85
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh221s0jjD5
"How old are you?" Terrence asked.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPjFfBoIkq
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU5UkXrwM2
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."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYdqXOxwQ8
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftVR27rJoI
"Late bloomer," Josephine interjected from her seat on top of the table.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfkBMa9w1J
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdi7DMjjJn
"How long have you been in heat?" Terrence asked the next question.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5UzY5MSPK
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2JrAWYyGv
"A week," Ethan blurted out again.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1tz6z5p1D
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM3DCQcfpm
Terrence's eyes lit up with new found interest. "Who's your heat partner?"48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ390hliPxsJ
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OZS9CdG5E
"Mate," Josephine corrected.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMiOpSBxAk
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTlHMIvpwZ
"Whatever," he replied in annoyance. He focused in on Ethan again. "Who have you been having sex with this week?"48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOkZPDSmKQ
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3ANNmrRsR
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6ydthVo5x
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRVqGvEZ7L
Terrence shook his head in disbelief. "There's no way that's true."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfclyCFoeeZ
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11SGnyPhpu
"It's the truth," Ethan insisted.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nDU7kxsSg
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWl3fVPHz5
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."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDlDJ4MwKa
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRetzrDQNfm
"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."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk57pzjb35T
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt8niSZUns
"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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0StXvleYG
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzCALtxUwT
Ethan settled back down into the chair, feeling somewhat satisfied.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDs5NmZcKX
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dYhwGmX2z
Terrence flipped the paper over. "Charax technology. What do you know?"48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w4Z47ZYy0
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXQeAsCBPk
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp9qnbtosE
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCA1JEGfuU
"I– What– That's what this is about?" Ethan struggled, trying to avoid having to lie.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNdTElrcZE
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0BT4djKf9
"He's too young to know anything about the tech," Josephine commented from her perch.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJHMG9G8Lq
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQxHMx4nb1
"We've always got to check," Terrence muttered irritably, glancing back at the page. "Where are there more Charax?"48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFUkhoh4Jh
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo4Q214jwx
"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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3dAnUiZoG
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnk0CNtTA9
"I don't believe you," Terrence said dryly.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu75m83Sn4Z
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTR7V0cCPi
"It's the truth," Ethan stated flatly.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCnGjmXK6z
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo9Wm11ZHR
"You've been here your whole life. You've got to know someone. Give me a name," Terrence insisted.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sAvGs2t21
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2QYnIsBLn
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGuxvdyYYo
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3HyzENCqN
"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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIVF9SsyUM
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG6B1zk3IR
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."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmGlVPIUoe
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0oxWI5nQE
"He must know at least one," Terrence insisted still.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Eh2w8npYa
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd8GqLotdw
"It's not a truth serum," Josephine argued.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMKMyuXZFn
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw3SLJbuDB
It feels like it is, Ethan thought.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPr8DDJEKw
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW9KvTaL4G
"You'll have to try again later. He's almost gone." Josephine sounded disinterested now.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrlPV2kQPJ
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwAhq9SKjA
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwt4X53sw5
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvbBYk7pxd
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XAYMGbjkG
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oIGg0RgJX
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYuycLyrSx
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvppKfmGs1d
"Don't touch me," Ethan grunted, all the protest he could manage in this state.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB00byX0k3Q
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpveRNCp6hk
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."48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPofL1OEL9
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFtlHZmzhf
"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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrs2oZMRka
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQbTwxMUic
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SCOlmziC9
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmuv2r3MXV
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgP2YZ0VK3
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr0xR0iOxr
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IpBfN1tcu
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJCTO3d5Rf
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 protection44ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJJHQbs92k 維尼
