Chapter 364: True Motive
Laz didn’t listen, nor did he care. He was being dragged into something he had no desire to get involved in.
While the old woman looked on eagerly with Gia, Joan and Celes standing by, Laz turned and walked away.
"Where are you going?" The old woman asked.
"I’m tired."
That was all he said as he walked away. While he was thinking about just straight up leaving, he didn’t know if he was still being hunted in the outside world and didn’t even know if he could find a bed anywhere close. So instead of thinking about it too much, Laz just went back to the cupboard of a room he had been assigned, stripped his clothes and went to sleep without a care in the world.
After having slept for what felt like days, Laz noticed that there was some sealed dishes of food by the inside of his door, a sign that someone had come in and left it without disturbing him. While this would have made Laz nervous previously, he figured he would have woken up if who ever snuck in had ill intent towards him. He felt like his training had granted him that much.
After setting the dishes on the one chair stand of a table, Laz began to eat like a pig, consuming nearly every bite of food that had been left there for him. After washing it down with the entire pitcher of water, Laz then got up and stretched and wondered just what would happen today. After all, the way he had left things was kind of vague. But then again, being told people are waiting for you, at least complete strangers, was kind of an unsettling thought.
A knock at his door disturbed his thoughts, but he could already feel who it was.
"Come in."
Celes walked in, closely followed by Joan and Gia.
Just as he was going to asked what they were there for, Joan and Gia hit the ground with their knees before leaning forward and also placing their heads on the ground.
"PLEASE FORGIVE US!" They both said in unison, as though sharing one really loud voice.
"Excuse me?" Laz asked, not understanding.
"WE DIS RESPECTED YOU AND HAVE COME TO OFFER OURSELVES TO YOU FOR PUNISHMENT!" Came the reply, so loud that Laz almost felt like covering his ears. The funny part about the whole thing was that Celes’ face was very cold with a look of annoyance in her eyes as she watched these two put on their apology. Even more amusing, despite the sound making the building rumble, Laz knew it was just them shouting and not actually them making use of their energy to increase the sound.
"Oh. For the shower thing? Don’t worry about that," Laz finally understood, waving them off.
"NO. WE SHALL NOT LEAVE UNTIL WE MAKE THIS RIGHT WITH YOU!" Their voices once again shaking the room.
Laz looked over at Celes with a questioning look on his face, only to see her look back with one of apology and concern. Apology for the way they had tried to take advantage of him and concern about offending him.
"What?"
Celes, seeing his attention turn to her, dropped to the floor herself in a similar manner.
"PLEASE LORD. FORGIVE US!"
While her voice wasn’t nearly as loud as the two other women, it had the same innate feeling of admitting wrongdoing while begging for forgiveness.
"I seriously can’t even..."
Laz didn’t know what they were actually apologizing for. After all, the other day wasn’t really something to apologize about. The Amazonian like women jumping him in the shower wasn’t anything he minded, he just wasn’t in the mood at the time, something he never thought he would feel like. Sure, while they were the small, thin and meek types a lot of men lusted over, they certainly had their own charms. As for Celes, she never once even poised a threat to him so he just treated her actions like that of an angry child. All in all, considering what he had been through in the past, that was nothing.
While Laz was lost in his thoughts for a moment and still trying to clear the tiredness from his mind, the three women in front of him started stripping as though it was the next stage in this strange act. Then, out of nowhere, Gia pulled out a bundle and laid it out. All manner of strange tools and objects were gathered and placed within; whips, chains, paddles, knives, various sized dildos, some even of a monstrous size. There was even ones that had handles like a baseball bat and others that looked they were half the size of a person.
"PUNISH US AS YOU SEE FIT," all three of them said, turning around to expose their backs and plump asses to him.
’Some of these I get... but some of them... WHAT THE FUCK KINDA PLAY ARE THEY INTO...’ Laz said, looking at some of the tools that seemed like they could only inflict pure pain.
Laz brought his hands up to his head and rubbed the sides of his temples several times while he tried to deal with a headache he didn’t think was possible getting anymore considering the health and strength of his body. He then let out a sigh.
"Alright. Enough of this. Get up and get dressed. This isn’t going to help either you or I come to any sort of understanding. And seriously, where the fuck did you get these things."
Even though he said this, none of them moved or answered.
"Joan. Answer."
"SIR.."
"In a normal voice please."
"Sir. Some of the witches living here have many various tastes. In an effort to regain your trust and cooperation, we have collected and cleaned the most extreme of them and offer them as a present to sate your desire to punish us for our actions. If anyone else is in need of punishment, we shall retrieve them as well."
"Why would I have a desire to punish you for your actions?"
Again nothing.
"Aggh... Gia this time, Answer please. Normal voice."
"Sir. There is nothing more important to a man than his ego and after the way we disrespected you three days ago, we knew that the only way to win back your trust was to ..."
"Ok. Stop. So I slept three days? Well, that felt divine for sure. Ok Celes. Turn and face me please."
Celes turned and faced Laz, her head just barely high enough for her eyes to make contact with his.
"Please get up, get dressed along with Joan and Gia and give me some time. I’ll meet with you and your grandmother and whoever else wants to around noon. Looks like its around nine at the moment so that should give me enough time. Thank you. Now go."
Laz then turned around and crawled on his bed. Sitting in a lotus position, he closed his eyes and before anyone could object, his mind seemed to drift away. Laz had decided he would meet them and learn more, but for the moment he needed to double check everything to make sure he was ok since this was the first moment he had the chance too since that terrifying chase ended.
Although he had said this, non of them moved right away. It was only after about ten minutes that Celes finally raised her head high enough to see him on the bed in mediation that she understood he meant what he said. She then looked over to Gia and Joan and seeing them look back at her, nodded her head. The three women then dressed and gather up the laid out tools before making their way outside his room.
"Mistress?" Joana and Gia asked at the same time.
"I don’t know. My grandmother said this was the best idea and obviously I didn’t want to do it. But since it was her order, what choice did we have? And yet despite that, here we are, untouched and perfectly fine... I mean... you know what these guys are like... especially the ones who have been infected like us. Their desires and lust are amplified to such a level that’s scary. If you were to put any one of the other male prisoners into that position, well... we might not have been able to walk out of that room when they were done. And I know grandma knows this. So why..."
"Mistress... Maybe... he’s different? Maybe this whole thing..."
"Was nothing more than a test for him?" Celes finished her sentence as though sharing the same thought as Gia.
"No. I don’t think this was a test for him. After all, even grandma was unable to beat him so what was to stop him from doing whatever he wanted anyway..."
"So this was a test for us?" Joan then asked, connecting the dots.
"I think so... But I guess even if I asked that old hag, she wouldn’t tell me anything. Sigh... I have never, not once in my life, flaunted my ass like a piece of meat to a man and told him to do what he wishes to me," Celes said with mixed emotions.
"Neither have we mam. Although I think let a guy stick it in her ass once..." Joan said, trying to lighten to mood.
"Shut up bitch... he made me wear a strap on and do him in the ass, ok? How many times do i have to tell you that it was about pegging..." Gia shot back, also trying to get a smile from Celes.
"No. Girls. It’s ok. If anything... I think I feel even worse because... he rejected me..." Celes then answered honestly, much to the surprise of Joan and Gia.
"Ha. Did you think he would?" A voice came from around the corner as Celes’ grandma came into view.
"Grandma?"
"Mistress!"
"Alright. Enough. What did he say?" Gretchen asked, he eyes ablaze.
"Did you know that he wasn’t going to do anything to us?" Celes asked, not bothering to answer her first.
"Of course. What kind of man do you take him for...?" Gretchen responded with a questioning look in her eye.
"Just like all the others. Lust driven. Violent. Perverse freaks who would love nothing more that to fuck a woman to death just to prove how big his cock is?" Celes responded back, not bothering to hide her thoughts.
"Sigh. Little girl. You’re not some young and innocent virgin so don’t go acting like this. Yes. Those like us have elevated hormone levels that can cause our desires and instincts to go out of control. And yes, pretty much all of the guys who have come here for something or another are in the category of scum. If they weren’t they wouldn’t have accepted the bounty. But this guy? No. He’s something else. I’ve been following him for a while on social media while these two muscle heads look at gym routines and you seem infatuated with some soft skin, weak willed e-boys."
"GRANDMA!!!"
"What? It’s not like you hide it well. You know that being on my phone plan means I can monitor your data and what not right? Not to mention you never delete the search or browser history on your laptop.."
"Oh my fucking god..." Celes was so surprised she couldn’t even raise her voice.
"Anyway. While he’s doing his thing, I want all of you to go back and do some research on him and learn a thing or two. Considering he’s the most wanted man in country right now, what you can find is astounding. And since none of you are idiots, I’m sure you’ll be able to read between the lines. I’m actually ordering the entire council to do the same thing before the meeting..."
"You’re bringing the council in on this?" Celes asked, slightly surprised. While Gretchen own the buildings and the lands and was the strongest witch present, Celes had taken over as the Mistress since she had decided to retire from the day to day issues and relax a bit more. Although she wasn’t as strong as her grandmother, she was stronger than around ninety-nine percent of the other witches in the Order, making her the best candidate for the role. Despite that, there was far too much and they had grown way too big for one person to do it all, hence they had a council to help run the place and more importantly, allow all of the witches to feel like they had a say in things as well.
"Of course. This is what they are here for. I’m going to suggest something and they can decide on it. That it, of course, if our guest wishes to help us...."
"And why would he do that? I mean... what the hell would we have that he would want anyway?" Celes asked, not understanding.
"Watch the videos. Learn a bit about his story. I sent you a link to a private, off shore site as well. This particular one seems like it was made to show his true story and combat all of the negative things that have been said about him by the government and his ’victims.’ After that... you’ll understand what I mean."
And with that, the old woman turned around and took off, leaving the other three with heads full of questions and obviously no answers.
"Also... maybe if you tanned a little bit, you wouldn’t look like such a kid despite your hairless pussy. Maybe he would be a little interested in you then, eh? HE he he he he!"
"FUCK YOU GRANDMA, YOU DRIED UP OLD HAG!!!!"
