{Emily}

The next time I opened my eyes I found myself lying on a table on my back. When I tried to move I couldn't move much because I was tied down. Then I remembered that nightmare that I had been having before I got caught by A-Circle. I looked up when I heard someone laughing. I frowned when I saw Dominic towering over me. "Don't worry this is a test but I'm not going to have fun with you this way. Although that does sound like a good idea."

I bawled my hands into fists because I really wanted to take a swing at him. But seeing that I was tied down I couldn't and that pissed me off even more. "Fuck! I hate you so much!"

He snickered, "Yeah I know and that's exactly what I want you to do. Anyway, this table is designed to test how strong you are. I know we've pitted you against regular lab rats and you've killed a couple of them but believe it or not that didn't really give us much to go by. So you can either stay still while we run the test or struggle against the restraints. It doesn't matter either way we'll get some data just from you doing that."

"Fuck you!" I snarled.

I heard a couple beeps coming from somewhere. Dominic laughed, "Nice. The machine seems to register your anger towards me and it's already giving me some good data. You know anger can feed into how much strength you have."

Okay, he's provoking me. I really hate him and how well he can do that. Just from that alone I really want to wipe that smirk off his ugly face! I thought. I tugged at the restraints because all I wanted to do was get off this table and beat the crap out of him so much that it would take him weeks to recover! So I started fighting but Dominic stood as far away from me as possible. That fucking bastard!

When I realized I was giving him what he wanted from the test I stopped fighting against the restraints. I looked over to see that Dominic had an evil smirk on his face as he sat down at a nearby chair at the far right corner of the room. Instead of working on trying to kill him I worked on keeping my breathing even and steady. I resisted the urge to look over at Dominic when he started moaning for some reason. I had a feeling about what he was doing. He was masturbating just so he could provoke me again. It almost worked… Almost.

He let out a small gasp and I'm going to assume that he climaxed. I swallowed the bile that built up in my throat to keep myself from throwing up. After a moment or two I heard Dominic say, "Well that was interesting. Judging by the data you've gotten three times as strong as you were before you left A-Circle! Although I do have a feeling that some of your strength comes from the baby. We won't be able to tell how much until the baby's born."

I felt the restraints be undone on the table so I sat up.

"In case you're wondering what I just did-" Dominic said.

I cut him off, "No, don't even say it because I already know!"

"Alright then fine," Dominic said.

He held out a hand to help me get down from the table. I shook my head. "No thanks, I'm good."

He shrugged and walked past me but when he got to the door he paused and turned to face me. I raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"You're lucky that I have Sergeant 22 as good fuck buddy right now or I would be jumping at every chance I get to fuck you senseless," Dominic said. "You weren't an easy lay the last couple of times, so I'll back off for now."

I rolled my eyes. "For now?"

He nodded. "Yup, for now. Have a nice night."

He opened the door and left the room leaving me feeling pissed off and confused.

I sighed as I sat on bed in Emily's room which is now my room too. I was trying my best to console Emily because she wouldn't stop crying. Something happened to her that had her in this distressed state. "It's okay Emily, please calm down."

"No it's not okay!" She sobbed. "I hate it here, I don't want to be here. I hate Dominic and him taking advantage of me. The guy is sick in the head! I want to kill him so bad but every time I try… I can't!"

I narrowed my eyes. "What did he do this time?"

"It's not about what he did, it's what he said and he said the truth and that's what pisses me off the most," Emily said.

"What did he say?" I asked. Emily told me what he said to her and that pissed me off. Actually to say I was pissed off was understatement. I was livid! I sighed, "He's right though. He can do whatever he wants to us and the fact he's 'backing off' is just another tactic to bully us!"

Emily finally stopped crying after a moment or two and wiped the tears off her face. Before she could say anything we heard someone say, "I think I can help you with Dominic."

I looked in surprise to see Sergeant 22 who used to be known as Susan to me standing in the doorway. "What do you want?"

"I told you," Sergeant 22 said, "I can help you out with Dominic."

"Seriously?" Emily snarled, "If I recall correctly you took advantage of me too!"

"That was then, this is now. I haven't tried to take you to bed yet since you've been back home now have I?" Sergeant 22 said.

Emily shook her head. "No. But I still don't trust you! You're just waiting for me to let my guard down aren't you?"

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

"Nope, right now all I want is Dominic-" Sergeant 22 started.

"Yeah well you can have him! As you can see he obviously doesn't want you-" Emily snapped.

Sergeant 22 rolled her eyes. "Well duh of course I know he doesn't want me he finally made it that I'm just his little fuck buddy."

"So what's your plan?" I asked.

"What if you stop fighting him so much?" Sergeant 22 suggested.

Emily blinked. "Say what now?"

"Dominic told me you're his favorite because you have a lot more fight in you than I do," Sergeant said. "So if you stop fighting him then…"

"He'll get bored and leave Emily alone," I said.

"That's just a thought," Sergeant 22 said.

"And if that doesn't work?" I asked.

She shrugged. "I don't know…"

Emily groaned, "I can already tell you it's not going to work. Every time I see Dominic, I see red and I want to fight him. I can try to at least keep myself from punching him the next time I see him but I already know it's not going to work."

Sergeant 22 sighed, "Well then I don't know what else to tell you. I can try and corner him every chance I get but that's just about all I can do."

Then I thought of something. "Are there any female lab rats who look like Emily?"

Sergeant 22 paused. "Now that I think about it, Dominic's been very specific about what looks he'll accept from a female lab rat to live in the home lately. They all look a lot like Lieutenant 32. Why?"

"If you keep sending him-" I said.

Sergeant 22 shook her head. "Nope. That's not going to work either. They might look similar but they're not fighters like Lieutenant 32 is. He likes to dominate people in bed but now that I think about it his favorite person to pick on has always been Lieutenant 32." She scoffed, "Ever since he laid eyes on her and I'm rather jealous. Honestly…." She looked up at Emily. "It makes me want to kill you."

She bawled her hands into fists. "But as much as I want to kill Lieutenant 32, I value my life a lot more than hers at the moment. So killing Dominic's love interest is out of the question at the moment."

Emily gagged, "Gross! Love interest my ass! More like a pervert who has a dangerous obsession with someone who will never want him that way."

Sergeant 22 chuckled, "Yeah I know. What I want is for Dominic to have eyes for me and no one else." She paused. "Wait a minute… That's it!"

Emily tilted her head. "What's it?"

"I'll just have to do a little role playing with a disguise and that should do the trick…" Sergeant 22 started muttering to herself.

Emily turned and looked at me and I shrugged and gave her a look to say 'don't look at me.'

Sergeant 22 stopped muttering and looked at us giving us a creepy smile. "I have an idea and no I'm not telling you what it is. Don't worry, one of these days Dominic will be mine! Mark my words on that!"

Emily snorted. "Good luck with that. Because I don't claim him and I never will so have fun!"

"Oh don't worry," Sergeant 22 said. "I will!"

Without another word, Sergeant 22 rushed out the door rather excited about whatever her plan to seduce Dominic was.

Emily blinked. "Okay what the fuck was that all about?"

I shrugged. "I have no idea."

{Dominic}

I've noticed that Sergeant 22 has been acting rather strange lately. She started acting strange ever since I made it clear to her that I didn't love her and I didn't want her as my girlfriend.

She's been wanting to do role play during sex a lot with BDSM and I already told her that's not exactly what I go for during sex. True, I like to dominate people during sex but not BDSM style.

Today was no different. Sergeant 22 showed up at my room after I had just finished testing Sergeant 54 butt naked and with a dog collar on.

"Isn't this what you like to do in bed? Or close to it?" Sergeant 22 asked. "You like dominating people during sex right?"

I shook my head. "No. Truth of the matter is, I want Lieutenant 32. That's it."

Sergeant 22 grit her teeth. "Why?" She paused. "What if I get rid of everything?"

I tilted my head. "Huh?"

"What if I get rid of everything that makes me strong? What if I become weak again just like Lieutenant 32 is?" Sergeant 22 asked.

I laughed, "You know that wouldn't change anything right? Besides, you can't get rid of your abilities once you have them."

"But what if Lieutenant 32 were to stop fighting you?" Sergeant 22 asked, "Would you still have feelings for her then?"

That made me think back to the very day I laid eyes on Lieutenant 32. It wasn't the day she was brought to A-Circle.

She had gotten into a fight with two second graders who decided to pick on her on her first day of school. She was in kindergarten at that time and she defeated the bullies but when she did she sank to her knees crying. But those tears weren't happy tears, they were tears of agony for some reason. But she had no idea I was watching her and I smiled as I watched her. It was that day that I swore I would do everything in my power to get her to come to A-Circle.

Fortunately, I found out that Lieutenant 32's mother didn't want her at her home for whatever the reason and her father was a deadbeat. So it wasn't hard to get her mother to sell her to A-Circle.

Back then instead of her trying to fight me, she tried everything she could to run from me. Of course I had no romantic feelings for then, but I started to see that she was the perfect person to become the next leader of A-Circle even before she got her abilities.

When I snapped out of my memories I shook my head. "No, I would still have feelings for her. She might not be as strong as you are in a psychical sense and doesn't have that many abilities. I mean you have how many abilities?"

"Fourteen," Sergeant 22 answered.

"You want to know how many abilities Lieutenant 32 has?" I said.

"How many?" She asked.

"Five," I answered. "She has speed, which is why she can evade bullets so quickly. She has her strength which is how she's been able to kill half of her enemies that come her way. She can turn into an adorable little gecko of course. And she's recently gained two more abilities while she was away from A-Circle, one of them is telepathy and the other is she can slow down time. I don't know if she'll develop any more abilities but her strategy when it comes down to fighting is something else."

Sergeant 22 blinked. "Seriously?"

I nodded. "Oh yeah, did you know she somehow managed to kill half of the Elite Soldiers I sent after her the day she was brought back?"

Sergeant 22's jaw dropped and I laughed, "Yup. Somehow Lieutenant 32 can manage to kill more people than an Elite Soldier who has twice as many abilities that she does. Somehow she's evenly matched with me in combat and I have over thirty different abilities!" I shook my head and sighed, "Now can you please get your clothes and get out of my room? I'm pretty sure you don't want to walk back to your room butt naked and before you say anything else, I'm not in the mood today."

Sergeant 22 grabbed her clothes and got dressed. She left the room sulking as she went. I shook my head in dismay at her childish behavior.

I sighed when I crashed on the bed. As I laid on my back staring up at the ceiling I said to myself, "Don't worry Lieutenant 32. You're mine, I claimed you before Sergeant 54 did on your eighteenth birthday and I'll keep reminding you of that every chance I get even if you decide to stop fighting me and act like a perfect little angel. You belong to me, Sergeant 54 and A-Circle, forever…"
