Chapter 4
Free
She’s listening well which is a shock to me. Most of them fight, but she seems smarter than the others. She sits when she’s told and allows me to put the chains on her. She doesn’t try to kick at me like a few of them did.
“If you get bored, fill out this paperwork. You can watch TV and shit. Have access to the bathroom. There’s nothin’ in here you can hurt yourself or me with, so don’t bother lookin’.”
“Why are you keeping me?”
“We have plans. You’re gonna be my guinea pig of sorts. I make drugs. Different kinds of drugs than what you’re thinkin’.”
“What if I die?”
“You won’t. They aren’t the kind of drugs you’re thinkin’ about. You’ll see soon enough,” I tell her. I see the look in her eyes.
“Why me?”
“Why not you? Would you have rather been sold to a real asshole? One who would rape and abuse you?”
“You’re not going to rape me?” she asks, looking confused.
“No. I’m not. That doesn’t mean you won’t be beggin’ for someone’s cock later on.”
“What does that mean?”
“It means if you get bored, fill out this form for me. The more I know, the better off you are. I’ll leave you alone to adjust, but this is my room. I’ll be back later. You can open the door, but that’s as far as you can go,” I explain. I give them some space and freedom. There was one girl who hated having the door closed so she could open it whenever she wanted to. I don’t know much about this girl, so I’m giving her the choice right now.
She nods her head as I stand and walk toward the door. I step into the hall and take one last look at her before walking down the hall. I’m back in the main room when Pike finds me.
“How’s the new girl?”
“She’s gonna give me hell.”
“Why do you say that?”
“She doesn’t like to talk much, and she wouldn’t give them any information. Most girls just need a little boost, and they’ll spill their guts, but not this one.” He chuckles and offers me a beer, which I gladly take and bring to my lips.
“She’s gonna be fun then, yeah?”
“I think she’ll fight it.”
“You do?”
“Yeah, I think she’s gonna be a little fighter. She isn’t gonna like what the drugs do to her. I can feel it,” I tell him. It’s true. I have some kind of feeling about this girl, and it makes me think she’s going to be harder to deal with than the others. Not that I’m not up for the challenge. I am. I like a good challenge and I haven’t had one in a long time around here.
“Better keep her on the leash then. Mask will shit if she gets off,” Pike points out.
“She’ll be just like any of the other girls. Once she’s settled, I’ll let her off the chain. She’ll be free to roam around and do what she wants.”
“You think she’s gonna be that easy?” I shrug now.
“I don’t know, brother. She’s the silent type. Doesn’t like to answer questions or anything.”
“Has she even spoken yet?”
“Yeah, to ask if I was gonna rape her.”
“Are you fuckin’ kiddin’ me?” I shake my head.
“Nope. That’s what she asked me.”
“No one here would rape her.”
“I know that. I can’t say the same for Jamie’s place, which was her next option. He tried to outbid me, the motherfucker,” I tell Pike.
“You got to be fuckin’ kiddin’ me?”
“No. Put in a last-minute bid, but they told him she was already sold. I don’t know what he wants with her, but he isn’t havin’ her.”
“Not even when you’re done with her?”
“I don’t know about that. She’ll be free to make her own choices when I’m done with her,” I remind him. He nods his head, knowing I don’t force any of the girls to go to Jamie if they don’t want to. But I do make money off them if they do. Jamie knows the deal. I can make them disappear if I want to and no one would ever find them. He goes along with it because we both benefit.
“Sounds like a plan. When do you plan on startin’ with this one?”
“A few days. You horny already?”
“You know I like to help out where I can but my girl would have my fuckin’ balls,” he smirks. Yeah, she knows he does.
“I don’t know if this one is gonna be so willin’.”
“Nothin’ wrong with watchin’ them fight their needs,” he says. I nod my head. He’s right but she would be the first one who would fight it. None of the other girls have ever fought the drugs.
I slap Pike on the shoulder, walk through the room toward Van, and grab a stool next to him at the bar.
“What’s up, VP?”
“Not much. You good?”
“Yeah, I’m good. Got the new girl settlin’ in. She should be good to go in a few days,” I tell him.
“She gonna be a fun one?”
“Doubt it. She’s a little stubborn.”
“Aren’t they all at some point?” he asks. I shrug.
“Not usually once they calm down. This one doesn’t seem like the others.”
“That a bad thing?”
“I don’t think so. I like the challenge.”
“Then it sounds perfect,” he laughs. I nod my head, agreeing with him. It does sound pretty damn good.
“How’s other shit? We still good with the club and everything?”
“Yeah, it’s all good. Runnin’ smoothly. Your brother keeps poppin’ in, though,” he tells me. I grab the beer placed in front of me and take a long pull.
“He’s becomin’ a problem, yeah?”
“Not yet. He’s poachin’ the girls, though. That’s not what the club’s about, and he has to know that.”
“I’ll talk to him. I know he’s been a little off lately, but we can’t have him fuckin’ up those girls’ lives.” The girls who work for us at the strip club actually want to be there. They were down on their luck and needed a stable place to work. That’s what we give them, as well as the added protection a few of them need. I don’t see letting my brother ruin that either by taking them to his place. He runs his own club of sorts that caters to the darker side of the BDSM lifestyle. Some of the girls he has there aren’t willingly there, although a majority of them are.
“Appreciate that,” Van says as he watches his old lady walk through the room. I can’t help but chuckle at the look on his face.
“I’d think she was on the drugs the way you’re lookin’ at her.”
“She wouldn’t need them, I can tell you that much,” he adds.
“That right? Everything still good with you two?”
“Yeah, brother. Everything’s great with us.” I nod my head and smile. It’s nice to see a few of the guys getting a girl and settling down.
