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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHnv7O0HrF
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lt4YFeFrg
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EktnZQIMY
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAtrMP8QaO
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6a2AYYheg
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMINqye2Mu
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAmiv4CinH
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6mm6BhC7G
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfCpWpCSNd
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiePMTNVTAZ
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn7r1HQQI7
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO8b7vfd1O
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIoEhdhlIO
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr87qyeamWo
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlURSVWPx1u
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAPF4W1W98
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYkQj9dz1F
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaOkyn0Y0v
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hxSIvpJrR
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQWnl48Jk5
"What are you doing?" Ethan mumbled, still dazed and more than a little confused.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJYfBwMSgv
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklf81mxChS
"Look who's awake." The blonde woman smiled at him in a way that sent shivers down his spine.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg4Y8Vz4Ox
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQqLK0Av6f
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFQ04kQdXk
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k7FDdr5Qk
"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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutLrjaECSO
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMUW0zYCyu
"Josephine, get over here." Ethan heard from the man behind him. "Hold him still."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sfH1SME9q
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MoWHBNPMR
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvodcNmqZ5B
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNQllS7Lhr
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiY1WgsRY5
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv60kt08J3
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYJ2jxrreL
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ7Q6L5DWo
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNrWm1Gvma
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHmCNeGfpD
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfsX29yJ7G
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvrgVT3JOf
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWr6qpBTbU
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdIjmsY80j
Her eyes darted upwards to the man cutting his hair. "Done?"60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOAEh0iDUM
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xTYCBJLqy
"I got enough," the other one replied as he walked over the to table.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LdqtNdQEo
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pl1VIP802
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."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zS8naBlSa
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUNjTrpoh8
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLi6yLDm0Y
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjHvPYe4eM
She walked around him, examining him with a critical eye. "A male in great condition. Purebred. Young. Healthy. Minimal scaring. It's a shame."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59WHa5GoDO
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKBzKP2XYT
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0x6oahr4J
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WdfvgL5WA
"Don't be upset, those are all compliments." She spoke with a false sweetness in her voice that came across as patronizing.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreiVAXpqz1
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPrYQbqP3M
The man was preoccupied doing something with the equipment on the table. "He's not going to be in this condition for long."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ939Mlf3yse
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1YGWzinWK
"I know, it's such a waste." Josephine pouted dramatically.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPtn7PpLmK
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GDpobzFOs
"What are you talking about?" Ethan asked, worried by how the conversation was turning.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2QDbVubL5
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkns7DdS1m
They both ignored him.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lS8ubW95g
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MkeToiMeN
"Hey! What's going on?" Ethan raised his voice in frustration.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5U7kpxtK0
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8pjyzGcIT
The man turned around to glare at Ethan. "Get the message and shut up already or we'll gag you."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJLe4lN3Th
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ993vD9PlJa
"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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUQmH0WxiZ
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5JGKMy9sn
"We'll see," her partner answered flatly.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeH3dD6U2Q
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIVjrjRCRx
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJua1jJs7P
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibsyQCdhN6
The man turned around with a swab in his hands. "Open your mouth."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fo9HR1ZQb
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7j2g2yg6y
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdn3km0IXJ
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMj3LX3fUW
The man pulled out the swab and examined it. "That's enough for a sample."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRka9csOlZ
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbY8dorfO4
"Maybe we should take some other samples while we have him out here, all set up," the blonde suggested.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrq7uuuTgI
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7oIVzvz24
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3hxt9Jh6c
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfKdyaQLjk
"Knock it off. We've got other work to do right now," the man told her sternly.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1h66c5J77
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETeMoa9kyf
"Terrence, you are never any fun. James would at least consider it," Josephine complained.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEDf7e7ABi
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflWhGddoXz
Ethan added that information to the list of things he knew so far. There's at least three of them, he concluded.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OaWFu2s2i
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj35f7pebBn
"I'm not James," Terrence retorted, handing her a thermometer.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPni21ZOhVV
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gVOc4gUon
"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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmLm7k6ZPq
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigeCodjJq2
Ethan opened his mouth slightly and held himself still despite wanting nothing more than to bash her head in.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5Bhucd8gv
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNpQtamqXh
Josephine slipped the device in. "No biting now."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG5kJMibWd
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1EVnoUdqF
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ468V8P8iFe
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHQM99yzcF
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4xqF680ot
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczazBfhVU7
Ethan's eyes flickered between his captor and the liquid. "I'm good."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNi83BRhj5
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkW68lKYCG
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."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSojQuUkRT
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61EYE64ilE
"No, I don't want it," Ethan refused, eyeing the strange meal skeptically.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lbZ99gELq
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfOHx4YgQI
"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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAh0NJqBS5
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfaJMP8qdi
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5UWDs8AOA
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNLE4bn6Fe
"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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6HdVAUNr2
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkPOoD3rSt
Ethan heard a masculine voice near him. "Let's take a break."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dFAsOrZ4u
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtocpOBTjc
"Sure," a more feminine voice replied.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xyY1Z1OGi
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH77gr0oVSA
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwE0ZyZFXD
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWmvymVmAV
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcJ8Zy57gQ
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCG7mRaj3U
Josephine came around and studied him closely, examining his pupils. "It's working all right."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeATxzLQvI
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39t9FChdBF
"Let's try this again," Terrence said as he held the liquid up to his lips again.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx97zOJEWrY
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtT0gO7eW2
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWKJIYU4Ma
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wOTp1a4Qj
"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."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIze12ABzx
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SSpWu4Elj
Ethan, hunched over in the chair, tried to catch his breath. It proved a more difficult task than he expected.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlDQM5aOnt
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ939pvU8Cl0
"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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtVAnqKMAW
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuTvZIjLBk
"He's a bit too old for training. And in heat," Terrence retorted, still in a bad mood.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96Ws58d05g
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9LLNLJ3o2
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."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjD5xakSkP
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHm3TRfu9V
Ethan shuddered at the thought of what she was proposing.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wR76GRmpD
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7vfMZDV4M
"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."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDz2lXvIOb
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFe7QI6OMP
"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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9W1CDXIuz
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOmI3IWIgo
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."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtEeFhUjtr
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaFNciLF4g
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGtM8hLZjv
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEnAfDpc6t
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscHucekwqS
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbYEsp5Vho
"Swallow," Terrence ordered.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zxEDSNt30
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VnNd9tKP3
Ethan refused to obey out of pure stubbornness.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEilamdkkwf
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq10YE7qykp
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1G81wLoqr
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOESqyBFlR
"See, he just needs the proper motivation," Josephine said happily.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6KSlFKbfe
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGpL5GHwHl
Terrence ignored her, heading back over to the table.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurLkaM0AJi
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87gTtzeYOb
Ethan glared at her. "It doesn't matter what you give me. I won't do it."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwrERx86HH
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNZY0wL5JT
Josephine smirked dangerously as she stroked his shoulder. "You will. Don't be scared, you'd enjoy every minute of it."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VZuL8kPE8
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqE3f1twBY
Ethan glared at her angrily. He tried to shake her hand off but she dug her nails into his shoulder.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4aZhzhDkK
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKeqbKsztm
"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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJQ5DbY252
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGnBqreiJD
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vYR0z3xBg
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovn4xu92vq
Josephine raised an eyebrow at him as she pulled her hand away, studying him intently as if he were some kind of interesting specimen.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWlomrDlRj
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHJF7rYlme
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."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7twFVQX5f
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtujuJreL6b
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYwwAfxVYQ
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e5zsFrfEg
"Where's the fun in that?" Josephine responded, still staring at Ethan.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclVspBAJeW
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz2LimcsHZ
"In spending your cut," Terrence stated dryly. He kept working away with something over on the table, blocked from Ethan's view.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3f3j3T5xn
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzS8MQI2LZ
Josephine frowned. "Seems like a waste, we could get more. Given the excellent condition the body's in. Or go for auction."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvXJkl4O9W
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkmakVNXXD
"The boss gave his orders," Terrence told her seriously.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq46jXdf69
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj30vwfB6Tq
Josephine joined him over at the table. "Orders can be changed."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsCJnSQjDN
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOrmEvIgHY
"You know he's probably already secured buyers," Terrence said dismissively.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwaJ7e49EN
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P2StVkUGG
"I know," Josephine said disappointingly. "I'm not saying we shouldn't offload him eventually."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD0cvbcWxP
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAqD2JuM44
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6RxH8ES3o
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZTs82mkg2
"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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztjLQvyFQJ
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZVmODdiYg
"Yes, yes, I know how the heat ones get. I'm aware of the time limit," Josephine replied nonchalantly.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AkUD2UUkk
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAay8VWPMj
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MncjhJ9b2
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzluF0xX0DZ
"You don't have any openings at the moment," Terrence reminded her. "I don't know know what you're expecting out of him."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUop4MIh6O
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITtGVSUvtp
"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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflRpbwsN44
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwOQJqGqYP
"Good luck with that, I'm going to do my job. No use going the extra mile," Terrence responded, slightly annoyed.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gsy1E38DF
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqWOE4Xw65
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN5KHHbyVT
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22f2P0s2ZO
"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?"60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjtY4lRDyk
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4m1yEjqPp
"Yeah?" Ethan answered uncertainly, confused about what was happening now.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDuUGIUuSa
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXTK69vOU5
Terrence looked at the new sheet of paper in his hands. "How long have you been on Earth?"60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zcEQQ9toV
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFiN7MzLMx
"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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVuDURvyeY
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RNNAq2mEJ
"How old are you?" Terrence asked.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPYwvAWuxK
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YSwZ8peeG
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."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u511cclNX
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHXEp6faWE
"Late bloomer," Josephine interjected from her seat on top of the table.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GG1kg5cYj
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYQJSiF5jS
"How long have you been in heat?" Terrence asked the next question.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje7b50qtHs
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOD5DmKCVk
"A week," Ethan blurted out again.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1YsROFbMr
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqElURttNdU
Terrence's eyes lit up with new found interest. "Who's your heat partner?"60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4rXoKZuzV
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZs7F1uO7l
"Mate," Josephine corrected.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyaGa8xErY
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j1Lj3yexK
"Whatever," he replied in annoyance. He focused in on Ethan again. "Who have you been having sex with this week?"60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hTfIr9KuH
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4lOJz30BZ
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjejdbqxu9W
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQhOpkUhhd
Terrence shook his head in disbelief. "There's no way that's true."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjfNaKWIJ2
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJj9AWt2z1
"It's the truth," Ethan insisted.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR8PvEjHVz
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rM17j8LYB
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."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj0kuGgHHp
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjGGcoo3H3
"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."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPrjUaL0Nd
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VRe33uZvC
"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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHXMzobeLC
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJc9kzz9nL
Ethan settled back down into the chair, feeling somewhat satisfied.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkYYb74i3w
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVrN1LN6ij
Terrence flipped the paper over. "Charax technology. What do you know?"60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsIRSIc2q2
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbHEATMFF7
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFYGIECeeo
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BWX0HEjKF
"I– What– That's what this is about?" Ethan struggled, trying to avoid having to lie.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSuRJgu7hl
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwGuAQWlRq
"He's too young to know anything about the tech," Josephine commented from her perch.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVY7leazRH
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDSeAxOq1q
"We've always got to check," Terrence muttered irritably, glancing back at the page. "Where are there more Charax?"60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3y03fJ7Q8
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNyA9r6mnP
"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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLnrlBskap
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQp7qxRBW2
"I don't believe you," Terrence said dryly.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQlMv4OO4o
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcFBXYeNu0
"It's the truth," Ethan stated flatly.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY88tmh2qFA
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvB8fQF7B0
"You've been here your whole life. You've got to know someone. Give me a name," Terrence insisted.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCUPWppbql
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYRuYisZP0
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NDz19c3uB
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpSIJl3HX8
"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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMo4Qr2gRX
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwRJKraVSH
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."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwQj1wnwgU
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg7IHCLiA0
"He must know at least one," Terrence insisted still.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJA678NiHC
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSAD3YfIlE
"It's not a truth serum," Josephine argued.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFId88QacG
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepLqMQyJgh
It feels like it is, Ethan thought.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnczHK4UU0
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCpPH9ll2N
"You'll have to try again later. He's almost gone." Josephine sounded disinterested now.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn1pGUBd2y
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PyVxd0UyX
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZJWT0sGPq
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmfBHXQvZH
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdJo41CSwb
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZekq5HNbwE
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKTNitMh9i
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LpyYh9fiA
"Don't touch me," Ethan grunted, all the protest he could manage in this state.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFN4cqLYeT
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZDGCJb2Jh
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."60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf972OOwCmb
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04foHiPcl0
"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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkG9O70004
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmIkvylHB6
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo97LmMXAZY
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFQiNaHRfp
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaItABeKQf
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzN1Jmt5Jj
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3aNUOoW5V
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2EaKvXJI5
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 protection56ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1etIfncFP 維尼
