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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSybH9bTEAr
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEDrBneGmu
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog9yy0MG7X
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRkZMT4SjK
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK19nVGX5k
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsyGLdTq2h
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcVU5g1BaL
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB63tkhdTuY
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbRDBLmTqx
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt4syhjjwC
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFrp8AsOdg
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMeXnZ3i69
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pNwprKzls
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp9pCSSAOg
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIcRZ9c3pb
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtYlVNcRm1
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKn97yuZFw
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzipfhYw6Sw
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1IUEidY9E
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIo19wM9nD
"What are you doing?" Ethan mumbled, still dazed and more than a little confused.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfPr0jpDcB
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTyQ0wr8JS
"Look who's awake." The blonde woman smiled at him in a way that sent shivers down his spine.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50GLY7Bzvs
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i9idet1yu
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl662pUxLdd
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU4AE9UdKd
"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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKEBwwEKfN
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE8sS6boom
"Josephine, get over here." Ethan heard from the man behind him. "Hold him still."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8hR0MmJ8u
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5mtiRHLb1
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAua1K8Wg8V
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQZfpyvdBv
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrfX6s9aiH
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uQh5J8M9N
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY9F8a7FaY
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYgRHgAWgM
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OwGAteI32
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYHZNnwWv8
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8YZ1FgupO
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqIrlEXM3D
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY5CdmnMkv
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHksbIvDOOY
Her eyes darted upwards to the man cutting his hair. "Done?"107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSncownnBw
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN420T5pxH3
"I got enough," the other one replied as he walked over the to table.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd32dWVzwuO
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ8vVNSCQ3
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."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YujoFLjww
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXQ5POpaRe
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cTKSu0kSi
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMCNMR09Sy
She walked around him, examining him with a critical eye. "A male in great condition. Purebred. Young. Healthy. Minimal scaring. It's a shame."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjOQb3myJk
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNrymBefAK
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P7hx7POSL
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJZbr1oays
"Don't be upset, those are all compliments." She spoke with a false sweetness in her voice that came across as patronizing.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde4idbqxOL
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgPYRUzzgS
The man was preoccupied doing something with the equipment on the table. "He's not going to be in this condition for long."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ3r70Xv6B
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrXjzpcbLK
"I know, it's such a waste." Josephine pouted dramatically.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIzb7Bhk9J
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRPipaV7xR
"What are you talking about?" Ethan asked, worried by how the conversation was turning.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB47UWanuKp
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zvPbtwu7W
They both ignored him.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl1q8EhpY8
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gEKaefHiD
"Hey! What's going on?" Ethan raised his voice in frustration.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYI4FRdkvt
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2xBmYrLpx
The man turned around to glare at Ethan. "Get the message and shut up already or we'll gag you."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHHqcCsNhO
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwrOcW1Ywp
"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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMqnVetFy8
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3zDxkBok1
"We'll see," her partner answered flatly.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ420W1aEhrv
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW8h93XPle
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfpN3AG5pa
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9COpe9YdEP
The man turned around with a swab in his hands. "Open your mouth."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mlcLQDgCo
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dCo42UvmN
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9nCgjr7JU
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp14p6EGoF3
The man pulled out the swab and examined it. "That's enough for a sample."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR7yBqfa6w
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWylepTLTdT
"Maybe we should take some other samples while we have him out here, all set up," the blonde suggested.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVbxQU7pD2
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNSXHmU5hR
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDimz0TWUW
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQQ4T787kg
"Knock it off. We've got other work to do right now," the man told her sternly.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzIRdNKC6Y
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR02aAJobE
"Terrence, you are never any fun. James would at least consider it," Josephine complained.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKfmpj3XOB
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FWGqLZpwa
Ethan added that information to the list of things he knew so far. There's at least three of them, he concluded.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZBfLopiBI
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdsYKzSCAG
"I'm not James," Terrence retorted, handing her a thermometer.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6ZiRPxAgI
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBxnh5eUch
"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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO0PsQo1yv
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIfPevGlyq
Ethan opened his mouth slightly and held himself still despite wanting nothing more than to bash her head in.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcznsS4yhM
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnrNh6J4yd
Josephine slipped the device in. "No biting now."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGumbG09Nu5
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrksitotO7
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SaH8kqtYL
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi8RpYfnMM
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet0t4Wn6Cn
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaXk7z470R
Ethan's eyes flickered between his captor and the liquid. "I'm good."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCSy4NdAfC
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HVIxXBUNm
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."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgA6Mp0ECI
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusAUHKvUPE
"No, I don't want it," Ethan refused, eyeing the strange meal skeptically.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLptkUktTIh
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEFTWyDRdZ
"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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8iYljO1dh
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaw5LkAymE
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8546KoctV
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFis2GUa3K3
"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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBj0GfzZf9
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScpHT6nHLb
Ethan heard a masculine voice near him. "Let's take a break."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UtrGEOcmT
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUthvaddO6u
"Sure," a more feminine voice replied.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LfYRqnc5n
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6hBvuiLQe
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS63FhirmLM
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ7aB7QqEu
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiIZzLc6ID
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NAT3ZiVz7
Josephine came around and studied him closely, examining his pupils. "It's working all right."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPVVvNy9Ky
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UFseHXGXO
"Let's try this again," Terrence said as he held the liquid up to his lips again.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATwP2LZJpN
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxzRID8lx3
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFbkI9IcjW
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf2qP6ia0O
"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."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpYrliGsDP
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX3sncMOa1
Ethan, hunched over in the chair, tried to catch his breath. It proved a more difficult task than he expected.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAaXB9SGjG
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB1Ax31RX0
"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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfP4mIBJaP
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DW7dAf3Pe
"He's a bit too old for training. And in heat," Terrence retorted, still in a bad mood.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxhWz1G8ho
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn6HiPz51H
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."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2eqLT9p3U
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dsJADdzhd
Ethan shuddered at the thought of what she was proposing.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfYv8Ze9ER
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7pvX1pTRD
"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."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaj29fZGii
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0PnKbD19c
"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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRLa4j0dnK
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3rr2qilAZ
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."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIb1RSqZ1W
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqUrgfDFcu
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZyv6pIV5i
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlRo7lkd6G
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pkaeoNgEa
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gjeC7TcSP
"Swallow," Terrence ordered.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4lyBDSxvX
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgQaARVvXr
Ethan refused to obey out of pure stubbornness.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4KemXMiaC
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq48h8BIUGP
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIEaQvL2dA
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81rTxKboCn
"See, he just needs the proper motivation," Josephine said happily.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUEemg04lf
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN4W5Z4MLM
Terrence ignored her, heading back over to the table.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR86Aw41rTk
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUNABh1t5s
Ethan glared at her. "It doesn't matter what you give me. I won't do it."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MAHpOhV2z
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXAmRSeDEp
Josephine smirked dangerously as she stroked his shoulder. "You will. Don't be scared, you'd enjoy every minute of it."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UnpBvs7Re
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVghyQNzzVK
Ethan glared at her angrily. He tried to shake her hand off but she dug her nails into his shoulder.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESPJELKGLW
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzW5fcq1AA
"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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJszfJM6hVx
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2yR5PltNV
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMjjOwIXap
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU3CSkAiJ2
Josephine raised an eyebrow at him as she pulled her hand away, studying him intently as if he were some kind of interesting specimen.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4tX1YxLYQ
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNPLEeqTWa
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."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdzNdWdpr6
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjWKpyzcfc
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9Q0n61Op2
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2SVk3rHZf
"Where's the fun in that?" Josephine responded, still staring at Ethan.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XV4SFzzUG
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ0VLb3U5F
"In spending your cut," Terrence stated dryly. He kept working away with something over on the table, blocked from Ethan's view.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqDQZXvpND
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5jH0IdS2Q
Josephine frowned. "Seems like a waste, we could get more. Given the excellent condition the body's in. Or go for auction."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ5NXQYgWW
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUqW23YHee
"The boss gave his orders," Terrence told her seriously.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dU1E5nwAW
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOK48WRS2A
Josephine joined him over at the table. "Orders can be changed."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgvB93XxTF
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjqkoEuKFJ
"You know he's probably already secured buyers," Terrence said dismissively.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD9UvgjfaV
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JzgJDckMB
"I know," Josephine said disappointingly. "I'm not saying we shouldn't offload him eventually."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8QxJMzNRW
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwhJjSjD42
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1He42IjwYY
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw09yS6ndp
"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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01BMWCtVyv
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKFTWzRL8K
"Yes, yes, I know how the heat ones get. I'm aware of the time limit," Josephine replied nonchalantly.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3wR9HtmA2
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsWSnFQo5y
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ABqIBQ3Dk
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxonapSkam
"You don't have any openings at the moment," Terrence reminded her. "I don't know know what you're expecting out of him."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRIV9bsvka
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3q5KiZNH4
"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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqlo1PRJWS
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu9IN9P8gQ
"Good luck with that, I'm going to do my job. No use going the extra mile," Terrence responded, slightly annoyed.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eDrpHPz8r

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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpcsi9TtgX
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx4urycmmF
"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?"107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUInnGW2kdX
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz3MIHp879
"Yeah?" Ethan answered uncertainly, confused about what was happening now.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzUrmknJbc
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHkSaiLuvb
Terrence looked at the new sheet of paper in his hands. "How long have you been on Earth?"107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jowj9KmyC
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVabHpy5Mb
"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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7lRBexC48
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SukUxlAYX
"How old are you?" Terrence asked.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2ixF7LuEd
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7IluOW5Nd
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."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEZqOwE5MV
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCuZHTBnaY
"Late bloomer," Josephine interjected from her seat on top of the table.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSGz9IFhNY
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XHIGYMrMY
"How long have you been in heat?" Terrence asked the next question.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ctBKzM7Nz
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINcfoLnYEa
"A week," Ethan blurted out again.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DTNSIcWDv
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8ZiZ8HRql
Terrence's eyes lit up with new found interest. "Who's your heat partner?"107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnCUN3osz7
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BAO7BPAGx
"Mate," Josephine corrected.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qGnefnHP2
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtfCHcKfqW
"Whatever," he replied in annoyance. He focused in on Ethan again. "Who have you been having sex with this week?"107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HoWM8UCwB
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPtorz2TtS
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXQ2n5Itkm
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ05tBmLgrY
Terrence shook his head in disbelief. "There's no way that's true."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCGiNUZvNo
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73v53zKcsM
"It's the truth," Ethan insisted.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5iV6AHGdW
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAZEqfpCdk
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."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbeshj1pqz
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsGAwtVAdV
"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."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8xUk2GX9T
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y64gaKwDD
"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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnrAbId4YW
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuyCZVZl5k
Ethan settled back down into the chair, feeling somewhat satisfied.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEzCX1Vjwf
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvcKE9AvIT
Terrence flipped the paper over. "Charax technology. What do you know?"107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYKQEMh1aK
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDoEnGEqzd
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqTzaS4qgF
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcexadYI3D
"I– What– That's what this is about?" Ethan struggled, trying to avoid having to lie.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QzfLhdwO8
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCXOvKxu1J
"He's too young to know anything about the tech," Josephine commented from her perch.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VHg5lBvzK
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJt2VNC2Km
"We've always got to check," Terrence muttered irritably, glancing back at the page. "Where are there more Charax?"107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFw14k7lso
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ885m8Ac0pP
"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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qrFALCSdP
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuFj4yW3D0
"I don't believe you," Terrence said dryly.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLYVh2mhA1
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP95vXtIJ5W
"It's the truth," Ethan stated flatly.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I10WBUFdM
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPrQWlWmFG
"You've been here your whole life. You've got to know someone. Give me a name," Terrence insisted.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GznbOPX2G
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRMG3FUmrL
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUjUwruNwn
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJMQIEUqd8
"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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudYNz43yRa
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNwxHMWOSj
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."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZsZDETt6W
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsZGIPEhhm
"He must know at least one," Terrence insisted still.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaGUb5C2zX
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7q3p6zRN3
"It's not a truth serum," Josephine argued.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2Zc70Cn9C
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS5se5xIac
It feels like it is, Ethan thought.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJTro73BRl
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOie2dz0bWC
"You'll have to try again later. He's almost gone." Josephine sounded disinterested now.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KPtIMGJ2g
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YpHQ7VuQf
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR62g9KUULH
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmgVzbmj2c
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKufDemCucd
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfY0xEhsgi
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy6EmLwoKo
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gvBEmtKCr
"Don't touch me," Ethan grunted, all the protest he could manage in this state.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8d0wSmsei
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4UK9WL8xA
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."107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n0jiNbS87
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi3paME3Ju
"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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU3KxlFaLr
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGs0o0Fomu
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKKX84tMzl
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAAXSW8OcW
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC4LJCYeH2
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FHznsknrB
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.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVPAf8N5WW
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSm0dUpWwJ
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 protection103ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmWpk9XPc4 維尼
