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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjN46tFLI6
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9mZFAoVhg
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtwYKLpKqy
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnIBPiYt3R
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VRWOu0N4n
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KSRFQtSMN
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnhqomD6rS
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUrEn5MqjX
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRXRXRyTN4
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xiEyZQrMU
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHlOXeOlHv
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU96VmOSvJK
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbjTlmUo2g
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO12Gifn71K
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7cbz3fzYO
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aoyrtKMTt
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw0EDkRchA
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5P0DZN1W5
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqU9RSVkHQ
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN0tHj7oL3
"What are you doing?" Ethan mumbled, still dazed and more than a little confused.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFHzSUfQ2a
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr95hOWwk2
"Look who's awake." The blonde woman smiled at him in a way that sent shivers down his spine.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktpMypuptS
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIuydfgC4d
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6Y85Sdefl
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyyCtUOnbC
"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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagPjVXUHoK
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxVfQowTQS
"Josephine, get over here." Ethan heard from the man behind him. "Hold him still."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9O2P7GdDO
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5C80cRVH7
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHufSYpy7oe
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGpTTXOGul
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeJar6TUWK
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB4jLNuYVd
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy0Sa6XsNH
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGnQYp8q0C
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQKKXHwSYP
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQey3sNtjL9
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudnVz9aVZr
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33OfPepVZ1
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqUPYfLj7y
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohKj2g3irm
Her eyes darted upwards to the man cutting his hair. "Done?"85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLQibdBgxS
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDpEdFb2w6
"I got enough," the other one replied as he walked over the to table.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41Z67cEE4u
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ahGRCbkhm
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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7ibIgh2mI
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf9KBG4vJG
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZZFnzDPZo
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGgW9hJvrg
She walked around him, examining him with a critical eye. "A male in great condition. Purebred. Young. Healthy. Minimal scaring. It's a shame."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrqPivu80L
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZTAV7kg4D
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4juDcbyHc0
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK8KpjXcBM
"Don't be upset, those are all compliments." She spoke with a false sweetness in her voice that came across as patronizing.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7B1ib0msA
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUdhGMnQgf
The man was preoccupied doing something with the equipment on the table. "He's not going to be in this condition for long."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eEEBIkK17
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZLLyVoOiw
"I know, it's such a waste." Josephine pouted dramatically.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJweJ7Kdiy
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep2S5mhxpS
"What are you talking about?" Ethan asked, worried by how the conversation was turning.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEffZ7TI8u
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNNBlf743I
They both ignored him.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq0MDhhjvJ
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfjDM2ehR4
"Hey! What's going on?" Ethan raised his voice in frustration.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4IGwlVXlk
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87pjz7ygzP
The man turned around to glare at Ethan. "Get the message and shut up already or we'll gag you."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa9dtWt9OM
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2rPeUnVjr
"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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Mz1sx7e4e
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGTm56bNmc
"We'll see," her partner answered flatly.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9I2Ccn2tT
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII8vef5Dal
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY7UamUXPj
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3jZYtNd3s
The man turned around with a swab in his hands. "Open your mouth."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRZiygsbRr
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlmOeHas3u
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTMByFC40C
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvjyuFtful
The man pulled out the swab and examined it. "That's enough for a sample."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwA24S6r4E
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMrhOYkOwo
"Maybe we should take some other samples while we have him out here, all set up," the blonde suggested.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhowuDXcMFI
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbnFS5vNTJ
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlMwHe2S6z
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8ekFmtOHb
"Knock it off. We've got other work to do right now," the man told her sternly.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZnvXcjHPt
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX5kxJ2FpH
"Terrence, you are never any fun. James would at least consider it," Josephine complained.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ9LetPijG
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzn2Bxmi8M
Ethan added that information to the list of things he knew so far. There's at least three of them, he concluded.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSiFWF8jsQ
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGRNVqq8e8
"I'm not James," Terrence retorted, handing her a thermometer.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlxgXIhG9t
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk7GOu2bIw
"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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TmKths4Fx
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TppMyFM8V
Ethan opened his mouth slightly and held himself still despite wanting nothing more than to bash her head in.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtayi6nDN90
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv8kvn4hmT
Josephine slipped the device in. "No biting now."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLdDfRj4zP
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabchWHI1J3
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY6fHVuRVW
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN6llQIrrH
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXitr9XIszP
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM5tQ9TWXu
Ethan's eyes flickered between his captor and the liquid. "I'm good."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h4yfdrpNG
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WXFyiNJkv
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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wRvsPpTnp
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloVAIDLk6k
"No, I don't want it," Ethan refused, eyeing the strange meal skeptically.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU96aKv1vRy
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXfED8Lft8
"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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO35BoyKePo
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVXlvUtIo5
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFcgtExoGB
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vxTPTIqtZ
"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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXjtynpc9K
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdASOHyLqQ
Ethan heard a masculine voice near him. "Let's take a break."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75mlxBibLs
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl17sQrkKY
"Sure," a more feminine voice replied.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOff159EDe
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLliOkeSU2
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr71BeC4HK
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWYEN5y2ug
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuUzhxHQDM
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwCUCe909j
Josephine came around and studied him closely, examining his pupils. "It's working all right."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSrjd7OYaI
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU8XKRt7bS
"Let's try this again," Terrence said as he held the liquid up to his lips again.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs80ncwaAU5
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGxpl3t7YU
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0iSoBc7z3
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyA4Gmc55G
"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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoBwRSc1bm
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaVWe4cvlv
Ethan, hunched over in the chair, tried to catch his breath. It proved a more difficult task than he expected.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhg19ZU8ze
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQNSwUMJym
"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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3qtHwC7jm
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKxSr8tZkS
"He's a bit too old for training. And in heat," Terrence retorted, still in a bad mood.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov8hP9M26a
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSufNDRk3ZI
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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf8uEo1oit
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFIkpDCDHx
Ethan shuddered at the thought of what she was proposing.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBDz80cObd
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvBgkGYs2T
"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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaNNu8Mt77
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAuVmo0UWV
"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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKzWi3XSc3
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrE67vJb0m
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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5KgHJ7OuF
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4DAIg3BiT
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGZqwWlmA0
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsVnAtnFRC
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI5X3MzIMY
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmReF03UAlf
"Swallow," Terrence ordered.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoQ9XC52p1
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPB7Xp7VUuP
Ethan refused to obey out of pure stubbornness.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PT9SnRK6t
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe9mkf4EO6
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfWVeQ6i5Y
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkKRmkohkU
"See, he just needs the proper motivation," Josephine said happily.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNGQQo72gH
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSti43oA8o9
Terrence ignored her, heading back over to the table.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzkDKYWdip
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuDWtAzD61
Ethan glared at her. "It doesn't matter what you give me. I won't do it."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdKQD4WMaL
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNbLkb7mqe
Josephine smirked dangerously as she stroked his shoulder. "You will. Don't be scared, you'd enjoy every minute of it."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk8KWXJlcc
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObXnjq7RRn
Ethan glared at her angrily. He tried to shake her hand off but she dug her nails into his shoulder.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDeB4Wpxn1
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ3FK36On8
"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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4TQzbDBvx
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAjiGJ2pER
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfh2a72Mk3
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrwKOGtZea
Josephine raised an eyebrow at him as she pulled her hand away, studying him intently as if he were some kind of interesting specimen.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbDhCtXnZN
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkHTwJXv23
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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthCnOAOgxu
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEP6SJ5u36
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQHXOcKvYm
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNY40QtouO
"Where's the fun in that?" Josephine responded, still staring at Ethan.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLre2IzU8Kr
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JoiuWgxRK
"In spending your cut," Terrence stated dryly. He kept working away with something over on the table, blocked from Ethan's view.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWdlLsfISM
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M0v2PwAk1
Josephine frowned. "Seems like a waste, we could get more. Given the excellent condition the body's in. Or go for auction."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrMMKgNJ4N
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv9OiOywXz
"The boss gave his orders," Terrence told her seriously.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3KCAXXyan
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zbe7urGB4
Josephine joined him over at the table. "Orders can be changed."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrWhEGwp9k
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuQOnGbLBZ
"You know he's probably already secured buyers," Terrence said dismissively.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInh8Gf8ZBE
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCPfze0lyz
"I know," Josephine said disappointingly. "I'm not saying we shouldn't offload him eventually."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWx5eS5AOs
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiWRqRdAS4
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn1DvebbOg
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fcZfIN3zO
"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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UKAbaluYg
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdOxh2bzBi
"Yes, yes, I know how the heat ones get. I'm aware of the time limit," Josephine replied nonchalantly.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q0cAZMGqZ
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjZEMaZoVN
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGYx0NWKww
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUReGM5IhB5
"You don't have any openings at the moment," Terrence reminded her. "I don't know know what you're expecting out of him."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WEDx02BYz
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ424Rc0Rf1m
"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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVZpXdW7Np
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7HYKdlPwK
"Good luck with that, I'm going to do my job. No use going the extra mile," Terrence responded, slightly annoyed.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpHf0TDUyc
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAaCYtZM4t
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dgqb9m103
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG6bu8OTod
"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?"85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvA6ACtaIp

"Yeah?" Ethan answered uncertainly, confused about what was happening now.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLe6bxVbVe
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9D7Zkcc58
Terrence looked at the new sheet of paper in his hands. "How long have you been on Earth?"85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOgQQve9Qz
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxRZvRkqn8
"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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLwgEnYLLg
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfDWIRu26n
"How old are you?" Terrence asked.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wHH567xBA
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupveYz3hA3
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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hCnsKgEdV
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7Ml39DCOP
"Late bloomer," Josephine interjected from her seat on top of the table.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvhNrb2FHb
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wlIk9O6MN
"How long have you been in heat?" Terrence asked the next question.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI10htkpZH
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIMgjBmtYL
"A week," Ethan blurted out again.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dmQcPEEzZ
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQjFXn6nV4
Terrence's eyes lit up with new found interest. "Who's your heat partner?"85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWDhgarOLR
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZLD4vyTwy
"Mate," Josephine corrected.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFyuiMzEWX
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce6T6Q6Jlw
"Whatever," he replied in annoyance. He focused in on Ethan again. "Who have you been having sex with this week?"85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtquqrquG60
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyH5Jh0Z2Z
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPRO4VH1Aa
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nWkg0waTb
Terrence shook his head in disbelief. "There's no way that's true."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoM5xQ5wKq
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDeSXiyPs6
"It's the truth," Ethan insisted.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3QxQnOQwH
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47EM9qNzZ3
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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtzUX3dabZ
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGn3xQBUbp
"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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiAFJL3E8g
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO88SOmXpJ
"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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xuvuh1law
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbZfr79Jjh
Ethan settled back down into the chair, feeling somewhat satisfied.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOGFafRRxY
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMDH5TNy94
Terrence flipped the paper over. "Charax technology. What do you know?"85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ifx29ADxA
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmWnfho6ae
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00x2ECQsM9
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jUctNrKQU
"I– What– That's what this is about?" Ethan struggled, trying to avoid having to lie.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo7oFqpf4X
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjlfQQpp0Z
"He's too young to know anything about the tech," Josephine commented from her perch.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfUkCKzhMc
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1pKw9xhpU
"We've always got to check," Terrence muttered irritably, glancing back at the page. "Where are there more Charax?"85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayL1YyOK5h
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxH9kGd6WO
"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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2OknNereL
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzfWTAiuKb
"I don't believe you," Terrence said dryly.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5t5HSQOy4
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigAzM2t5cu
"It's the truth," Ethan stated flatly.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaybo34zkdm
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PFRMWKrGz
"You've been here your whole life. You've got to know someone. Give me a name," Terrence insisted.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemz0R0TQsr
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4CTf21vBg
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQpQL7p7uh
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOiIIElvIu
"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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfNjBL3BtK
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbKDKqiOW3
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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4unibUscD5
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN9heApP5j
"He must know at least one," Terrence insisted still.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy3grgzvSO
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwmw7YXJ2T
"It's not a truth serum," Josephine argued.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55BOTd8Zup
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT4nUQjhPs
It feels like it is, Ethan thought.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb11VzciM3
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUunAcJOaNj
"You'll have to try again later. He's almost gone." Josephine sounded disinterested now.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtthO4RtL32
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu8XROq1yf
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNyqOhPkb9
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca1LWHTJEu
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYRRCIN4Ts
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7tnsjcWTM
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdSc3Yh2F8
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIweGg3MTHA
"Don't touch me," Ethan grunted, all the protest he could manage in this state.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9eLoTYPJt
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNPxbE3toO
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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi0qorchEl
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvBYI3AGMm
"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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuX3SaSo9T
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEWGAK4Xsd
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra88QVDQdz
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2LXOipUHb
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4xV4uOe3t
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUAIr7O5lT
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.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1LnJzOVwr
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt59te4Gssi
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 protection81ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0XW4W3gf5 維尼
