“Inkpop, what does exacerbate mean?” Angel said as she sat on my back, reading a book while I did my pushups. I often used Angel as a weight when I did my daily exercises. When I first started, I could barely do five pushups with her on my back; I was so small and weak. Now I was pumping out a hundred and barely breaking a sweat. I was getting bigger. With nothing but time on my hands, it only made sense to make sure my body stayed as fit as possible.
“Uh,” I grunted, moving up and down for another pushup, “It means to make something worse,” I grunted again as I moved up and down for another pushup.
“Oh, like how your scruffy beard exacerbates your ugly face?” She bent down, so her head was upside down in my peripheral vision.
I grabbed her securely from off my back as I stood up and used one arm to hold her way above my head. “Ugly face, huh?” I tickled her with the other hand, and she squealed in laughter, the book falling loudly to the floor as she kicked and twisted to get down. “I’ll show you an ugly face!” I tickled her more, enjoying just the sound of her laughing for a change.
The door from the hall opened, and I heard a loud cough. It was Roth’s unspoken warning that trouble was on the way. I dropped Angel back to the floor, and she hurried to put any books out of sight. Two sets of heavy footsteps made their way down the corridor before they stopped at our door, and it was flung open. Angel came up behind me and hugged me tightly around my waist. Lou and Roth stood there decked out in fancy suits. Strange.
“Let’s go.” Lou grabbed me by the arm and pulled me toward him. He reached for my pants, but I pulled away from him. The only time the chastity trap came off was when Ruby was having her fun. It was a painful process.
“We have to take it off,” Roth said from over Lou’s shoulder before he moved to the side and blocked Angel’s line of vision.
I bit down on the inside of my cheek and let the two men unlock the contraption and slowly peel it away from my dick. It was raw and scared from the constant use of the trap.
“Damn, I would have just ripped it off by now,” Lou said as he put the trap into his pocket and pulled me out of the room.
“Angel, be good,” I said, just as they closed the door. They quickly secured my arms behind my back and pulled me toward the back of the house. Strange.
“Where are we going?” I asked, my adrenaline already pumping hard through my body. Ruby was usually upstairs, but we were walking out of the house.
“Don’t worry about it.”
“The fuck you mean, don’t worry about it? Where are you taking me if I am not going to Ruby?” I tried to pull out of their grasps, but it did nothing.
“Still fucking fighting, I see.”
My head whipped to the sound, and I narrowed my eyes to make sure I heard what I thought I had. I kicked out my leg, trying to make some contact with the fucking traitor in front of me, “Vale, you no good piece of shit!” I jumped, I kicked, I lunged, but he just moved back, and I didn’t make contact even one time.
“You guys need to keep a better leash on your dog.” Vale pulled at his sleeve, wiping a phantom piece of lint off the obviously expensive fabric. “I wouldn’t want to have to put it down.”
“Fuck you! You fucking rat! If anyone is the damn dog here, it’s you.” I spat in his direction, the ball of phlegm landing just centimeters away from his shoe. That was all it took to provoke him. The uppercut he delivered straight to my gut forced me to bend over as the air was forced out of my body.
“You watch how you talk to me! I can end your life with the snap of my fucking fingers. We may have ridden in the same circles at one point, but now you’re nothing more than a maggot for me to step on. You’re lucky I need you alive and well for this fight, or you’d find yourself at the fucked up end of a very bad accident.” He walked by me as I still was dry heaving and gasping for breath. “I’d win if I were you. You have no idea what they will do to a fresh little girl like Angel if she has no protection.”
The guards simply stood me up and continued walking me wherever they were taking me. Lou took me to a bathroom, one I’d never been inside of. It was lush and had a pair of new shorts for me. I had no idea what was going on or what I needed to win in order to stay with Angel.
“Take that shit off,” Lou said, indicating the dirty clothes I had been wearing for months at a time. He undid my hands, and I took everything off, just as instructed. I put the shorts on that he gave me. The
