3 SUM
everyone likes to put on a show.”
    â€œHow?”
    Lartley sighed.
    â€œYour token,” he said, “what’s the number?”
    â€œTwenty-nine.”
    â€œOK, when one of the Madame’s shouts it out, just follow her.”
    â€œThat’s it?”
    â€œOh don’t worry, Valery, she’ll make all your dreams and nightmares, come true.”
    A guy walked by in nipple clamps; it was Coussan 6. He looked whipped, literally.
    A female came close, whispered in my ear.
    â€œI hope I get you. I just love the newbies,” and she bit my ear.
    There was something strange about her hands, or perhaps not, considering where we were.
    â€œWalrus teeth,” she said, noticing my stare.
    She wore finger claws attached to silver rings.
    â€œI’d love to put you through your paces,” she said.
    Her face was pretty, an angel with a demon’s heart. I’d dreamed of her many times before, but the screams coming from upstairs no longer stiffened my intent. She was right though; I was pacing, to the exit. I did a double take on my way out, was that Gillian and Claire?
    I was outside again, but not completely in the cold; I had Anais. I looked over my shoulder, no one was behind me.
    Chapter Fourteen
    No one came for me, nor woke me up. So I made my own way for breakfast. Anais was waiting, and waved me over to her table.
    â€œSo, where did you get to last night?” she asked, stirring her coffee.
    I still had a sore head from the ice cold vodka and night, and now it was spinning. Of course, they’d checked my room.
    â€œOh don’t look so worried,” she continued. “I half expected it now that your tanks are full.”
    â€œReally?”
    I was relieved.
    â€œOf course you need to explore, invade new territory. So tell me, who was the lucky woman?”
    â€œNo one.”
    â€œMan?”
    â€œI’m not gay.”
    â€œSolo?”
    â€œI’m not into solitaire.”
    â€œI’d better put the lab rats on alert. Today is the last injection, a stabiliser. Then it’s your turn to hold the syringe. I thought that would put a smile on your face.”
    I grinned further.
    â€œYou sure you’ll know where to stick it, given the chance?”
    â€œI get confused easily, Colonel, perhaps you could show me.”
    She wiped her mouth with the serviette and stood up.
    â€œI don’t think you want to miss your last appointment.”
    â€œNo,” I replied, and was left to make my own way to the lab.
    One final injection and my hormones would be permanently restored as, I hoped, nature intended. Maybe that would be even higher; hell, didn’t we have a war to win? And I was their prototype, protégé. There could be more to follow, but would I want them following Anais?
    The lab rats had turned into sex kittens, the white gowns replaced with short skirts, hosiery, and heels. If this was an attempt to measure the greatest circumference it worked, and they all looked suitably impressed. I guessed it was no coincidence they discussed their dorms.
    I hardly felt the injection in my posterior, and there was one last test to be recorded for posterity: the shopping trip. No Guards, just me and Anais. I was salivating as I heard her footsteps move ever closer, the taps in tune with the beat of my heart.
    Anais was a sex bomb, and she’d just hit my target, boots replaced with booty. Flat shoes, we were on a shopping expedition, but sheer electric blue nylons, a pink knee length skirt, and a tight black shirt. I should have been quarantined; I was foaming at the mouth.
    â€œGlad you like my outfit,” she said. “Let’s go shopping. And, Valiant, this time you can take the lead. I want to see some initiative.”
    I wanted her so badly, but now my libido had finally hooked up with my brain, I decided to play it smart. The fact she liked what she saw boosted my hand. How could I tell? The way her eyes lingered, the
