” The man approached me. He was huge and towered over my 5’8’’ frame. Reaching out a large hand, he said, “Nice to meet you Caitlin.”“Ni...e to meet you.” The man’s big black paw took my delicate white hand in an overly firm grip. I was immediately self-conscious of how I looked, what I was wearing, and what I was doing in this hotel room with five black men. I felt much less sexy and much more vulnerable. Turning to Fiona, he asked, “Have you explained to your friend what is going on here. His hairdarkened from gray to black, and his blue eyes turned hazel. His hair felldown to his shins, and was conveniently tied into an extra-long ponytail.Still, he'd have to take care to avoid stepping on it. His facial featuresbecame dainty and cute: high cheekbones, no stubble, dainty nose, and large,almond-shaped eyes. His eyes expanded until they dominated his whole face.So that he'd never get any bright ideas again (regarding raping or anythingelse), I dumbed down his IQ until he couldn't. Will we find another?”“Sure. Too stupid to be spooked.”Sure enough, within five minutes there was a large male foraging in the same place. I still had my pistol in hand, took aim as he raised his head, and fired. I think I hit him in the neck, just below the jaw line. He just fell to one side.“Only one shot this time,” Cook said. He walked over, slit the throat so that it would bleed out and sat back. “Shoulda brought Meena.”“If you weren’t noisier than a flock of galahs, you’d have heard me. How pathetic! Not to see you, you fuck. To warn her. She pointed at Tanya. This was becoming amusing. Warn her about what? About what youre capable of. Im sure she doesnt know what a monster you really are, not yet. I grinned when Tanya said softly, May I show her, Sir? Sure, if you want to. Show me what? Terri said, frowning. Instead of answering, Tanya stepped away from me and unbuttoned the front of her shirt enough to show the welts and bruises and scabs on her breasts. Terris mouth.
