The morning has been perfect. Waking up to Zoe, our fucking, the way I made it so she literally couldnât walk after⦠I had to support her back to the centuricmobile.
But as perfect as the morning had been, the night before hadnât been. Not at all. Not one ovian little bit.
I had a dream, a terrible one, a nightmare I wish I could forget, but now that weâve finished breaking our fast and Zoe is resting beneath the shade of a tree, I no longer have any distractions, and the dream keeps playing over and over again in my mind.
In the nightmare, Zoe comes up to me in front of all of the other builders. She slaps me hard enough across the face that it stings. The other builders laugh and gather around as Zoe begins to shout.
âYou bartered for me? You treated me like I was some kind of prize! Like I was an object, like I wasnât even a person! A house for a woman, for someone to fuck! I was nothing more to you than a living sex toy!â
âZoe, thatâs not true at all,â I protested, but she wouldnât hear any of it.
âYou deny it?â she shrilled. âOne house for one girl, isnât that the way it went down, Ell?â
Out of nowhere, the engineer appeared, and he marched over to us and wrapped his arm around Zoeâs waist. âYes, darling, thatâs how it went down. Precisely how.â
She giggled and fawned over him before shouting more things at me, such terribly cruel, hurtful things. And then, worst of all, she and Ell stripped down and fucked right in front of all of us, the other builders egging them on, throwing out suggestions. Just thinking about it churns my stomach.
And then, afterward, Zoe and Ell got dressed and rode off in the centuricmobile. I can only assume that they went to his house, that it was now their house.
I woke in a cold sweat. Zoe, though, smiled at me, and she gave me hope then as she does now that maybe, just maybe, everything can work out for us.
The builders havenât arrived yet, and Iâm too anxious from the nightmare to get started on the work early. No, while Zoe is sleeping and the others take their time arriving, Iâm going to up and leave and go and see what Ell is up to.
Itâs not a far drive, and when I pull up, my heart is hammering in my chest. As soon as I turn off the centuricmobile, I can hear laughter. Feminine laughter.
A sickening feeling settles in my stomach, and I climb out of the centuricmobile as two other vehicles pull up. Fear nearly overwhelms me at the thought that the overlord might be here, but no. The newcomers arenât guards, and the overlord isnât anywhere in sight.
âWho are you?â I ask the two newcomers.
They glance at each other and eye me suspiciously.
âWe could ask you the same question,â the taller one says, lifting his chin into the air.
