THRAX

“Thrax? Thrax? Wake up! Wake up, now!”

Thrax blinked his eyes. Someone was snapping their fingers in front of his face. Was it the Mistress? He vaguely remembered seeing her—she had looked the same as ever—as though twenty years hadn’t passed since their last encounter.

But now, it was Andi’s face that swam into view when he was finally able to focus.

“Andi?” his voice came out in a hoarse croak and he coughed and cleared his throat which was dry as sandpaper. Great—all he needed was for this Thirst to start bothering him when he was nowhere near a blood donor. “Where am I?” he rasped out. “What’s going on?”

“We’re at Queen Pantyitch’s milking farm and you’ve been acting weird ever since you met her business partner, Mistress Stoneheart,” Andi told him. She had a worried look on her face. “In fact, I got the idea that you’d met her before.”

“Really?” Thrax shifted uncomfortably on the bed, where he was sitting. The tail inside him was a pressing presence he wished he could get rid of. “What makes you say that?” he asked.

“Oh, I don’t know—maybe the way you nearly attacked her and then she hypnotized you and turned you into a mindless drone for the past fifteen minutes?” Andi straightened up and put her hands on her hips. “Don’t lie to me, Thrax—you’ve been acting strangely this whole mission. I have a right to know what’s going on with you!”

Thrax wanted to lie again—he wanted to hide his shameful past. But looking at his partner’s worried face, he knew he couldn’t do it. Andi was right—he owed her an explanation—even if he had to dredge up his ugly past to give it to her.

“Fine.” He sighed heavily and ran a hand over his horns. “I’ll tell you. When I was a younger male—about a year before I came of age—my friend Braze and I were out for our first interstellar run and we were captured by slavers.”

“You were?” Andi’s eyes went wide. “That’s awful!”

“That’s not even the worst part,” Thrax told her. “They took us to the Flesh Bazaar—the auction house that specializes in slaves of all kinds. It’s where a lot of Yonnie Six Mistresses get their new bodyslaves. My friend, Braze was taken by Mistress Sweetwater, who eventually let him go. But I was bought by Mistress Stoneheart and she took me to her home on Yonnie Six. You see, she trains male bodyslaves for other Mistresses and sells them. So that was what she did to me—she ‘trained’ me.”

Andi’s eyes narrowed.

“Trained you how?” she asked quietly. “What did she do to you, Thrax?”

Thrax felt like he’d swallowed a lump of ice and it was sitting there, unwilling to melt in the pit of his belly. His throat was dry as dust but he ignored the Thirst that was now raging inside him.

“She trained me to please her, of course,” he said harshly. “And to serve her sexually. She made me submit to her in every fucking way you can imagine.
