“Because we have not figured it out!” Damon ground out. “The three of you were all over her when we came in, gods damn it! What the fuck made you think that it would be alright to fuck her all the at same time?”
“She agreed to it!” Sebastian said stiffly. “And what is more, she enjoyed it! She came three times … and then she passed out.”
“How would you know if she fainted from passion or because you suffocated her?” Damon snarled.
Sebastian, Lucien, and Thor glanced at one another uneasily. “She had my cock in her mouth, so she was either groaning in ecstasy or humming, gods damn it! I felt the vibration. That is why I came! If she had wanted to scream, she would have taken it out of her mouth!”
Jared, Kane, and Damon glared at them with a mixture of uncertainty, resentment, and envy. “I still do not know what put you in mind of it, and what is more, I am not sure that I believe Chloe agreed!” Jared said finally.
“It is in the handbook, gods damn it!” Sebastian said. “Under decadence and kink.”
“Thatis not in my gods damned programming!” Jared snarled.
Sebastian shrugged uncomfortably. “We modified it … but only a little. I will not say that Chloe was particularly enthusiastic … when I asked her, but she said that she was willing to try it.”
“Well! You should not have asked her, gods damn it! You know that she can be talked into almost anything—whether it is good for her or not!”
Sebastian looked uncomfortable. “You cannot say it was not far more efficient, at least! Even I could see that she was tired from having someone different each night!”
“So you very thoughtfully came up with this brilliant plan to fuck her all at once on her free night … when she should have been resting, because, gods damn it, tomorrow was supposed to be my gods damned night!”
“Yes, and now no one will get to fuck her at all because of your stupid idea!” Kane said angrily.
Sebastian, Lucien, and Thor exchanged a look and moved to settle on the single bunk their cell boasted. “It would not have come to this,” Sebastian said after a while, “if the three of you had not decided to kick our asses when it was not your business to begin with!”
Jared surged toward the bars that separated them from the other cell. “If it concerns Chloe, itisour business, gods damn it! And I am going to choke the life out of all three of you when they let me out of here!”
“Thatwill get her back,” Kane said irritably, heading to the bunk and sprawling on it.
Jared turned to stare at Kane angrily for several moments as it slowly settled inside him that Kane was right. They had lost her. The concept was incomprehensible, but he felt his belly twist nauseatingly. “We have not lost her,” he muttered.
“Are you deaf as well as blind?” Damon demanded angrily. “You did not see the way she looked when she left? You did not hear her say that she would have nothing else to do with it—us?”
Jared swallowed convulsively several times. “She did not mean it,” he said a little doubtfully. “She said that we were her crewmen and she would entertain us and that she would not allow any of the other females to. She said that.”
“We are her crewmen, too!” Lucien said angrily.
Jared, Kane, and Damon all whipped a look at him. “Shut the fuck up!” they snarled almost in unison.
“You are only … strays that she picked up only because you were there!” Kane added angrily.
“And you are notstraysthat she also collected?” Sebastian shot back at him.
Kane and Jared exchanged an uncomfortable look. Jared made an obscene gesture at the party in the other cage and joined Kane on the bunk.
“If you ask me, you are all right and you are all a bunch of fucking idiots,” the guard outside said grimly. “She is a human! Granted, she is a pretty one and she is very sweet even if she is also weak, emotional, and clumsy as bedamned, besides not being able to take care of herself! She has gathered you all up like pets and that is the only way that she thinks of any of you … as pets! Because you are cyborgs and you are not the same as she is. You will be better off to take a good cyborg woman!”
“Prick!” Kane snarled.
“No one asked for your fucking opinion!” Jared snapped. “If I wanted it, I would choke it out of you!”
“I am more in favor of just beating the shit out of the son-of-a-bitch myself,” Damon said. “Did you hear what that bastard said about our Chloe?”
“I heard. I think I will give him some good cyborg foot up his fucking ass when I get out!” Sebastian said angrily. “She is not clumsy, gods damn it!”
“He is just jealous because she has no interest in anyone but us!” Lucien said coldly.
“Well, it did not sound to me as if she had any interest in any of you when she left!” the guard said tightly.
