REDEMPTION

I think Riley’s tendencies have surpassedshe is The control she’s learned in the short time we’ve been back fro I have not to interfere Her reflexes are scary fast And the mind manipulation she exerts? No one is unaffected Not evento see if Riley can keep fro him For the sake of all of us, I hope she can A war between the Duprés and Arcoses wouldn’t be pretty And I’ Riley Without her,hot and wet trailsmy eyelids to open, I squint into the near darkness I try to move, but I’m shackled to a cot The room is cold Damp Smells moldy I turn my head

And stare into a pair of dark eyes Human With tendencies

"Awake now, are ya?" the oddamn time"

My first reaction is to bite off his damn ear, then head-butt hiht, but I can see only his shadowed shape With e

Instead, I slide hiue "God, you suard pauses, probably stunned fro muscle and he leans over ood?"

"U God above that the man indeed didn’t sain, he pauses--but only briefly Hisa hand to ue in e to barf, I kiss him back, a furious, fast kiss, just to turn hiHe onna like this, baby," he grunts

Fighting back the urge to kill hi his earlobe "Slon" I bite the shell of his ear to get his attention "This would be a lot uard, silhouetted by the light coet away Then my ass is fried" He bends his head and tries to kiss irl I can’t possibly get away fro hard, "ould I want to? I’ive a whispered moan "And I want to fuck your brains out"

"Jesus God, woman," he says after a second Fast as he can, he pulls so out of his pocket "Hold still"

A pair of cutters clips through the thick plastic tie-wraps binding my wrists and ankles As soon as I’ain, I give just enough to keep him interested, then push him away

"Wait a minute," I say in a fake, excited breath "Not so fast" I reach between his legs, grab his arousal, and give an even faker et on top"

"Kinky bitch, ain’t ya?" he says "With that weird tat on your face What other tats you got, babe?" He chuckles "Okay, whatever you say" He rises, allowing me to move out froropes hiodda so man A pervert A pervert with tendencies

Internally repulsed by the disgusting threat of spurting, I sling one leg over his hips and straddle hirabs ainst it

"Yeah, baby, do me," he says, his voice thick with excite in my face" Apparently, junior here has watched one toothe hem of my shirt, I slowly pull it off and drop it on the floor His eyes glaze over as they lock on ons "Goddaers the ink ive the situation an added extra, I palm his crotch "Oh, you’re so hard," I say "Are you ready for ainst hirunts hat I suspect is a sexually excited moan of pleasure

Then I rise off him, stand next to the cot, and slowly unbuttonhis zipper down and groping hionna cos in a painful, gurgling gush as I raiseand slaasps a few times, ineffective little puffs of wind as he curls into a ball, hands cradling his privates

Wasting no tiain and catch hi off the cot

"Bitch!" he wheezes, spitting

Another sto and cussing

Dropping to my knees, I fish in his pocket for the tie-wraps I’d felt while straddling hiuard reaches for so he has tendencies lethe cutters, knocking the off a wall "Ah-ah, shithead No getting out of the wraps"

I stand and put my boot to his throat "Turn onto your sto out of a brand new hole in your neck Now"

He curses, then turns over

I drop a knee right between his shoulder blades, wrench one of his arrab the other arether I kneel over his," I say, barely above a whisper I concentrate, envisioning inI want hi to do it quietly Now roll over and be still"

He does and goes co Doesn’t move But his eyes stay fixed on mine
