out into an incredibly agonizing bliss as I waited, felt, shivered from the heat.
And then he responded! His lips moved under mine, pressing back ever so slightly and I was almost lost!
“ Uumm ...”
The sound, rough with pleasure instead of fury, broke the moment and saved him. I’d never heard that from myself.
I let go and spun away. There was only so much I could take, but as I opened the door, I turned back to lock gazes with the blue-haired Den Mother.
He was mine. He was not to be brought out to the other contestants. She knew all of it without being told, and returned my stare. I saw the edge of the familiar tattoo on her arm, and made the connection.
“That’s the sound of a rookie getting inked.”
That beautifully detailed green swirl was indeed a rebel symbol, and there were more of us here than the Network suspected.
As I left, passing near enough to some of the shocked males to smell them, I felt no overwhelming need to touch or grab. I'd made my choice. Now I had to win his papers… and find out who Rankin was.
Jason
I’d manipulated her by using courage.
It was rumored that the Pruetts were drawn to it and I’d remembered. I now had a potential owner and it wasn’t Rankin. My happiness wanted me to brag, but I moved by the other stunned bachelors with my head down to hide the joy.
Angelica was fierce. I had hopes she could handle Rankin, but even if she couldn’t kill the Head Defender, she would take me out of the complex and give me a chance to be free. Rankin couldn’t challenge her until then because of the scandal, but once we were out of the city, another game for survival would start. I would have to warn my new owner about the coming danger.
I pushed off the too-tight new clothes and settled into my threadbare robe, content that Rankin wasn’t here to hurt me tonight. The rebel elements living in New Network City had set off another explosive. When the new Head Defender returned, she would be out there, investigating, interrogating… brutalizing. It was what Rankin excelled at.
Angelica did too, I knew that, but I believed in the rumors about her family - when she heard my story, she would be honor-bound to take me to Baker. I felt bad for tricking her, it was easy to see she needed me for the pain-relief, but I wanted the life back that had been stolen from me.
Angelica might be strong enough to fight the fire - I was amazed at her control - but there was a list of things I needed to be happy as a slave. Few women would be able to match them all. Until I found the one who could, I wanted to be free to help the rebels take down the Network… and Rankin. That was one of the things I needed most. My loving owner had to be able to kill Rankin when she came for me.

“It’s day two of the second round and we’re down to eight contestants to start the morning’s matches.”
Not scheduled for a battle, I had spent day four of the games in my larger room on the next floor up, watching the wall-screen and trying not to think about my bachelor. I’d never had a day stretch so long, but I had learned a great deal about Rankin.
The new Head Defender was known to the world as a protector of the complex males, but according to inside rumors, Rankin liked to take advantage of that position by abusing them herself. When I offered a generous amount of UDs, I was informed that she had a small stable she visited regularly. My guards whispered small details that burned in my brain.
“She’s got one now, in your lot.”
“She gets them young, grooms them. Sometimes she spends hours with them in their cells or her den.”
“She hurts them.”
“Yes, and more than most Changelings do during a rental session.”
“They’re given favors to make the other males hate them and isolate them, so she has complete control.”
“She’ll kill to keep her favorite - Jason.”
I’d also found the file for my choice, and confirmed that’s who he was. I
