My crazy captor chuckled to himself for a while, caressing me gently as he did.
"I killed two before I arrived this morning. A lady murderer called Indira who killed other women and children because she was jealous and she couldn't have children herself. I got her in the carpark of her local shopping centre. And Grices, a conman who stole people's identities to sell or commit crimes. He always visits his brother in prison at this time of the month. They'll find his body on the bus once it reaches the end of the line. They were easy targets. I left the other three bombs for the ones who know how to defend themselves."
I was horrified that there was more than one target involved this time.
"Who?"
"I've already told you about the Waterpark owner. His is the biggest bomb. One's a car bomb for a hacker with disgusting habits who calls himself Qwertz. The man's as fat as a pig and can barely walk, but he's a gambler. Hopefully I'll have timed things right and he takes out the whole of the Chequers Gambling Den under the Chequers Pub with him. I put some secondary devices in the building so the whole place can go up together. That place is filthy. They make all sorts of bets and trades there on other people's properties and lives. In fact, I recently heard them talk about you in there. Someone has a deal to try and make you and your family's lives as miserable as possible until you either kill yourself or go to to find them. They really have something in for you personally though. What did you do? Kill somebody? Castrate someone's grandson? Nah, you're too squeamish. I'll bet you just taught someone a lesson or turned down someone's offer without knowing their background. Last I heard, they were betting on how soon you'd quit the Agency so that they could catch you and give you a slow but 'exciting' death."
"What?"
*"Where's the last victim, Uki-chan? How much time do we have?"*
I wanted to know more. My family and I were being messed with. Someone was targeting us. The castrating of someone's grandson spiked at a memory. Not now. I couldn't think of that now. I couldn't allow my family to be hurt either, but an order had been given. Finding bombs and reducing the risk of getting a large number of innocent people involved was of a higher priority.
Why did Shigure have to interrupt now? How was I meant to collect the clues to find my enemy? When would I have this opportunity again? Why did I have to be selfless as a City Agent?
"One more?" I seethed through my gritted teeth, suppressing my selfish thoughts. I didn't matter. My family wasn't as important as these current impending deaths of a greater number of innocent targets. My family would still live for a while longer. I still had time.
"I thought you'd want to ask more about your enemy, but I suppose you're a girl after my own heart after all," Chad said and I heard the rustling of cloth. Much like the sound of someone taking their clothes off. A heavy weight sat on my pelvis, pushing some air out of me. "You're more interested in the same things as me. The last one is an old friend of mine. We were mates during the last invasion and found these smuggling tunnels that ran through the cliffs. There were three of us. Red Eye, Snake Eye and me."
I jolted at the name Red Eye. More so at the recognition that it was Shigure and Chad was or used to be a City Agent. Not so much because his hands had found one of my sensitive spots on the side of my ribcage not far below my breasts. Or so I hoped.
Chad enjoyed watching me shiver while he caressed this patch of my skin. I swallowed hard.
"Snake Eye?"
*"Tiger Eye!*" I heard Shigure's shock of surprise and intense lament. *"It's Tiger Eye."*
"Oh, he's not called Snake Eye anymore. He betrayed us during the invasion, you know. He probably doesn't know that I knew it was him who signalled the enemy and guided them into the Gulf. Red Eye almost lost his vision and his life when he forced all the navigators and pilots of those ships and planes to turn around and crash into each other. I'll never be able to forgive Snake Eye for doing that to Red Eye. When Red Eye was down, Snake Eye signalled the land troops in and stabbed him in the back during the confusion afterwards. I should have killed him there and then but he'd taken my sister hostage. If he'd taken care of my sister like he should have, and she hadn't died a few weeks ago, I probably would have remained silent. But he didn't keep his promise. He tortured my sister to death. I saw her body. He tried to cover it up by cremating her but I stole her body."
Shigure exclaimed and I could feel his thoughts racing.
"HQ?"
"You're a smart little cookie. Those people trying to suppress you have been doing a good job. You have so much potential but your blind teacher hasn't been able to see what was going on. Have your matters been settled to your satisfaction? You said you'd deal with that problem. Did you?"
"Yes," I said. "Done."
*"Find out where the bomb in Headquarters is and how much time we have,*" Shigure said in a hurry.
"Good. Since you've been able to deal with them, then you should be happy to spend the rest of your life with me. Before the net tightens around me, I'd best take you and make my escape. Today's the day I break free. From what I've found out about you, you'll make a good little wife. No wonder Tirion Wolf thought you were the perfect daughter. You're so obedient and bendable. I'll take very good care of you and in a moment, you'll understand why I decided on the name, Thundercock. I'm sure you'll fall in love with me eventually. I awoke a second ability, you see. Besides being able to move around in stealth, I unexpectedly woke this second ability while Snake Eye had me prisoner. Anyone who I take will be so satisfied that they will beg for my cock."
"Yuck. No."
"You'll see soon. Just my hands on your body should have you beginning to melt."
"Time bomb?" I ignored his hands as best as I could, but I knew I was shaking. There was something wrong with what he was doing.
"Ah. We have," Chad paused for a moment, "another ten minutes and twenty-three seconds. Headquarters won't suspect a thing. In another ten minutes, the top of The Edge is going to go kaboom. Even if they do suspect there's a bomb, I'll bet you that they'd never guess where I left it."
"Where?"
"Inside the bastard's chair. I don't know how he did it. His acting has been so convincing. Everyone thinks he's a hero when in fact, he's an enemy agent who has been getting his people to infiltrate our city bit by bit. If I don't kill him now, I might never get the chance again."
*"Good job, Uki-chan. Get him to say where you are. I'm coming to get you. I just need to find out where you are. Hang in there."*
I took in a sharp breath when Chad found another sensitive spot on my neck.
"We have just enough time to warm you up, so that you can ride the waves of euphoria with me when the bombs go off. With this, this and this," Chad touched all the spots on my body that made me squirm beneath him, "Little Bluebird, I've got you. Now you are mine."
Being unable to see, my sense of touch was heightened. I couldn't help gasping and moaning as he played with my body in a way nobody else had ever had. Others had only wanted to satisfy their desires and fetishes, while making me feel ashamed and humiliated. Chad, on the other hand, seemed to delight in heightening my senses and arousing me.
"Ah, you are getting turned on now," he chuckled. "Look, your nipples have perked up and you can't seem to stop wriggling. Why don't we get you even more excited? Come, let me hear you beg for me."
"No!"
"So I haven't stimulated you enough? Come on, Little Bluebird. Come for me. Let me show you what pleasure is."
"Bastard!"
"You say one thing but your body says another. Look how much you want me."
I squealed at the intrusion of a finger and was surprised to find it wasn't as dry down there as I had expected. I squealed again at what the finger was doing to me, starting to sob with both angry protest and fear, feeling myself arching and hating myself for finding this somewhat enjoyable. He was slowly and carefully stretching my entrance down there with his fingers, while trying to make sure I was enjoying it too. He kept distracting me from trying to listen and try to work out where we were.
Sounds bounced and echoed off the walls. The air tasted slightly salty.
"Oh, don't lick those lips like that," Chad said and his thick, hot lips crashed onto mine. His tongue sought to enter my mouth but I bit down.
A heavy slap stunned me and sent my head ringing.
He kissed me again. As often as I bit down, so he also slapped me. Each slap was harder than the last, until I was too dazed to do anything more. I tasted blood.
His lips and tongue also explored all my sensitive places and he kneaded my breasts as if there was no tomorrow. It was disgusting. I wanted to escape. To get away but I had been well secured. I could barely move because my restraints were so tight. I might not have any choice. He might really make me his. Shigure couldn't even come to find me because I didn't know where I was. Where Chad had brought me.
My blindfold grew wet and I felt some tears managing to avoid getting absorbed by the cloth and trickling down my cheeks. Chad licked them up with a throaty laugh.
He definitely knew what he was doing. Now that he had found my sensitive spots, he made good use of them to stimulate me. After some long minutes, his ministrations bore fruit, making him cheer with delight.
"Come, Little Bluebird, let me hear you beg me."
I could feel him asserting control over me. I could feel myself slipping into a heady mood. One filled only with lust and pleasure. Only a small part of me was able to hold back. The part of me that if what he said about his ability was true, knew that once he had taken my first time, I'd possibly follow him like a druggie for the rest of my life. I'd have no choice. One, it felt too good to ignore. Two, Tribal law dictated that I had to follow and marry the man who touched me in an intimate manner or die.
I didn't want to follow him and I didn't want to die, but that choice was slowly being taken away from me. Just when I was going to give up and surrender in despair, cold air swirled around me and I felt the stark absence of his body heat.
"Good girl. Little Bluebird, let's take things slowly. You deserve to be treated well. You're so delicious. I can't wait until you actually consent and ask me to fill in your lonely little hole. I was going to ride you through the explosions, but something seems to have gone wrong. Wait here. I don't believe your team can be that efficient or clever enough to have figured everything out so quickly. Be good and wait for me."
My tears were wiped from my face and he had me blow my nose into a tissue.
"Good girl," he petted me, making me arch and flinch. "Wait for me. I'll be back."
Exhausted from remaining on such high alert wand with such high running emotions for a while, I fell asleep while waiting. There was not much else I could do in this fatigued state.
A straw placed in my mouth, woke me and I spat it out.
"Now, now," he said. "You've lost a lot of fluids today. Your tears could fill a fish pond. Don't get dehydrated. Have a drink."
Now that he mentioned it, I was thirsty, but I didn't dare to drink in case he'd drugged it. Seeing I was refusing, he only chuckled and I heard him move away, leaving me alone.
If he came back before my team found me, I was doomed.
A voice knocked at the mind link in my mind, calling me. I opened the link door, desperate for help. I felt the person behind the door recoil in surprise at the intensity of my emotions and slam the door shut. Belatedly, I realised who it was and what having the link meant.
Opening the link, I begged for help, taking care to try and reduce the intensity of my desperation. I tried not to think of what was going to happen to me when Chad returned.
A wave of reassurance was sent through, but I felt Shigure squirm uncomfortably at my emotions on the other side. I hoped he hadn't been able to see or feel what Chad had been doing to me earlier. I thought I had left the chat room open earlier, but it was closed now. I didn't know when I might have closed it. If Shigure, a man I had only just met, saw as a mentor and wanted to leave a good impression on, had seen, heard and felt everything through me, perhaps I would kill myself.
*"We're still trying to pinpoint your location,"* Shigure told me, staying professional. *"Our mental link isn't strong enough for me to track your location. I've only got a general direction."*
*"How can we make it stronger then?"* I asked, remembering how he had been sick just by looking at my memories. *"Will it hurt you if we do?"*
I felt his hesitation and took it as an affirmative. Since he might be hurt, I discarded that hope. Instead, I hoped they would find me quickly.
*"We're doing our best, Uki-chan,"* he said and I felt his mental hand stroking my head. *"I have to go, but you hang in there."*
Even though he wasn't here, I felt somewhat comforted. So I gritted my teeth and continued to try and free my wrists or ankles.
After a while, I fell asleep.
A straw was put in the corner of my mouth again, waking me up and I was told to drink. I did as I was told, finding to my surprise that I'd been roughly dressed and my hands been cuffed in front of me. I was feeling both hungry and thirsty, not knowing how much time had passed. My legs were free and restraints either loosened or gone.
"Good girl," Chad Thundercock stroked my neck when I had finished drinking, holding down my kicking legs when I tried to take him by surprise. He easily wrestled me back into submission. "Once I've finished all my work, we'll find a safe place and I'll give you more freedom."
He released me from the bed and sat me on his lap, to feed me what tasted like fish and chips. While he fed me, he told me how my team was far better than he had anticipated. He didn't sound angry or put out at all. In fact, he commended Mr Holt for finding real experienced professionals to help. I supposed that would be Shigure's input. Did he realise it was his former friend hunting him down now?
I was fed a cup of juice while he crooned my praises to my disbelieving ears. Sweet lying words that made me cringe. I wasn't pretty. My body was not beautiful. I was not cute and I knew it.
The main downside of the feeding in this way was him rubbing himself up against me the whole time. He pulled both our pants down, so it was skin on skin. It made me feel disgusted and dirty. It was also like sitting atop an iron pole that kept poking me.
I only realised after the meal that he had also fed me some aphrodisiac or medicine that was messing with me. My body softened into his arms and lap and occasionally responded to his stimulation. He teased me and my body, while I bit my tongue to try and stay sane.
"I'm really good, but I wanted to increase your receptiveness toward me, so we can play sooner. I want you to say you want me. Do you want me?" he teased, putting himself in just a little and then pulling back out, making me shudder. Each time, he went a little deeper. I had to use all my strength not to succumb, but it was getting harder and harder. My hips were starting to do their own thing. "I want you. Come and beg me. Once we've started, I promise you'll become addicted. You'll definitely want more."
There was a bang and then a grating sound. Chad froze and swore. He tossed me aside and I heard him running around. It sounded like he was packing. Wet lips marked my cheek with a wet and sloppy kiss.
The loud noise had broken through the growing fog in my mind and gave me a sweet breath of fresh air. A moment of clarity.
"That was fast," he giggled. It was strange to hear that kind of laugh from a grown man, but there it was. "How exciting. Wait for me. I'll come and get you another time. A pity we can't get to know each other better at the moment. Ciao for now."
A breeze. A click. A door banged shut, cutting off the sound of his running footsteps on what sounded like wet ground.
