Sex, Lies And John Carter

Part I

 

When Weaver woke up her throat was dry and her head was pounding, she knew that it had to be the result of getting drugged. All she remembered was sitting down to have coffee with Carter and now she was in some really nice bed in what she guessed was his house. She groaned and rolled over looking for anything that would tell her the time but the room was basically empty except for the bed she was on and a table in the corner. She was still in her clothes from work that day so she wasn’t very worried about being raped. She sat up slowly and looked around, there was one light on the ceiling and it seemed way to bright for her at that moment. She instinctively reached for her crutch on the side of the bed only to find that it wasn’t there. She groaned and laid back down resting her face on the cool pillow, she was laying on top of the covers but she wasn’t cold, in fact she was sweating a little. Idea’s started to flutter into her head about why she was there and even though she didn’t think Carter was behind this she knew that it wasn’t normal to all of a sudden wake up in a bed with out an explanation. She thought about how for the past few months Amber and Abby had gone missing, completely missing, almost as if they had vanished with out a trace. Of course there were people looking for them at first but as they passed the six month mark they were assumed dead, that was if they hadn’t started a new life somewhere else. She suddenly heard someone at the door to the bedroom and the door unlocking. She turned her head feeling very anxious to see who was about to come in to greet her. The door opened a crack at first to let in some more light which only cause Kerry’s head to pound more and she groaned a little and put her arm up to shield her eyes. The person came through the door and closed it behind them.

“Kerry,” That voice was so familiar but her brain couldn’t put a face to it and she finally lowered her arm to see who it was. To her surprise it was Amber standing there in a tight leather dress and knee high black boots and even though the position Kerry was in was rather unusual and probably dangerous she couldn’t help thinking about how hot Amber looked, “Welcome to John Carter’s estate.” Her voice was hallow she seemed like she was in a little daze her voice was soft and kind but at the same time it seemed like she was in a trance.

“Amber?” Weaver whispered and then she sat up and swung her legs over the bed, her head was still pounding but she was more worried about talking to Amber then how she was feeling physically, “You’re alive.”

“Yes.” Amber walked over to her and pulled out a pair of handcuffs, “Please turn around and try not to struggle.”

“What?”

“Please do as I say or I will have to hurt you.” Her voice remained the same tone as it had when she first came in but in that way it seemed all the more creepy. Weaver took a deep breath and turned so she was kneeling on the bed with her hands behind her back. Amber moved in an latched the cuffs tightly over each of her wrists and then took a step back. “You can walk with out the crutch right? John said you could but you would be slow.”

“What the hell is going on here?” She pulled at the cuffs wishing that she wouldn’t have given into Amber so easily, “Is John the one behind this?”

“Stand up please.”

“NO! I WANT ANSWERS!” She turned to look at Amber who blinked a few times before backhanding Kerry, not as hard as she could, but hard enough to get her point across. Weaver’s head turned with the force of the blow and her head lowered slightly as she felt tears spring to her eyes. Amber grabbed her by her forearm and in an amazing show of strength she pulled Weaver to her feet and turned her towards the door. Weaver had no idea that Amber was that strong, but now she had that to consider and she guessed that she wouldn’t be fighting her off any time soon. She helped support Weaver with a firm grip on her arm as she walked her towards the door.

“Master Carter and Mistress Lockhart would like to see you.” Amber said as she pulled open the door and forced Kerry out into the hall with her. Kerry couldn’t believe what she was hearing, and she figured that this just had to be some sort of crazy dream, how could this possibly be happening to her? She was forcing herself not to cry she wasn’t going to cry it would only make her seem weak. She remembered how attracted she had been to Amber when they were working together, and she also remembered how she was about three seconds away from asking Amber out before she disappeared and now she was here and alive but Kerry couldn’t think of anything to say. Amber walked with her slowly down the hall, it was really tiring her our to limp down the long hallway with out any other support then the grip Amber had on her arm.

“Carter and Abby? They are doing this?”

“Yes they are.” Amber’s voice still didn’t change from the soft trance like state it was in and this was beginning to frustrate Weaver. “They spared my life and if you are good they will spare yours.” Weaver shook her head slightly as if to clear it, now she knew that she had to be dreaming. She then stumbled forward because her knee wouldn’t lock and she fell, she was surprised that Amber had let go of her instead of holding her up. “Get Up.”

“I don’t think I can…”

“GET UP!” Amber grabbed her by her hair and slowly lifted her to her feet, “They are in the room at the end of this hall you can make it, lets GO!” She then replaced her grip on Kerry’s arm and started to pull her forward but this time she wasn’t gentle. They finally reached the room at the end of the hall where Carter was sitting at a table with Abby having what looked like breakfast leaving Kerry to wonder how long she had been out.

“Glad you could join us Kerry.” John said in a voice that was laced with mock excitement, “Did you enjoy your coffee last night?”

“Why are you doing this? What the hell is wrong with Amber? And…” Weaver started to scream when Amber shoved her to the floor rather hard, Weaver turned so she wouldn’t fall completely flat on her face, so instead she landed on her shoulder with a pained whimper. “Damn you Carter.”

“She’s cute when she’s mad.” Abby said and then laughed slightly before picking up one of the delicious looking grapes that were on the table in front of them. Amber stood with her back perfectly straight and her hands locked together behind her back in a standard at ease military position. “What are we going to do with her?”

“I don’t know yet…but it’ll be fun.” Carter responded and then he looked at Amber, “Are you hungry my pet?” She nodded slightly and he motioned for her to come over to the table as Weaver forced herself up so she was now kneeling instead of laying on the floor. She watched as Amber got down and knelt by Carter’s chair and he handed her an apple.

“Thank you sir.” Amber said softly and she looked at the apple, “May I eat it now?”

“Yeah sure why not…I’m in a good mood this morning.” Carter replied and then smiled at Abby who returned his expression with a smile of her own. Weaver arched her eye brows and she was unable to comprehend what was going on. The Amber she remembered had a major attitude problem especially when it came to men, even nice guys like Carter but now it was apparent to her that Carter wasn’t the angel she thought he was. She had to admit that this secret life he was leading intrigued her slightly but at the same time she most definitely didn’t want to be a part of it. “How are you feeling Kerry?”

“Screw you!” She spat at him and out of the corner of her eye she could see Abby move almost like she was about to come over to her and slap her and so she winced slightly in anticipation but the hit never came.

“Hmm, the drug is still wearing off I don’t want to deal with her while she’s irritable like this.” Carter said and then he stood up from his chair, “I’m going into work when I get back I’m going to have to explain all of the rules to you…today is the first day of the rest of your life Kerry.” He nodded in Abby’s direction and then walked out of the room. Abby continued to eat and so did Amber and it continued this was until there was silence for about fifteen minutes. That’s when Abby looked up from her food and over to Weaver.

“Amber dear could you go get Kerry a glass of water?” Abby said to Amber in a rather nice tone of voice, Amber nodded and then got up and left the room. Abby waited for just a moment before coming over to Weaver and getting down to release her handcuffs. “Oh god you are the first normal person I’ve had contact with in months.”

“What the hell is going on here?”

“I don’t know, there’s something wrong with him it’s like he just…snapped.” Abby explained and she helped Weaver up and walked her over to the table and sat her in one of the chairs, “Amber is totally messed up he has her on some kind of drug but he won’t tell me what it is…but I can tell you if she knows I’m talking to you like this she’ll tell him.”

“Well no shit there is something wrong with him!” Weaver said in a hushed but harsh whisper, and Abby took a deep breath and let it out slowly, “Why aren’t you like Amber? Why isn’t he drugging you?”

“Because I decided to play along with it to avoid getting beat up.” Abby replied and she reached for her glass of orange juice and took a long drink, “Amber was very stubborn and after watching what she went through with him I just knew I wouldn’t be able to survive that.”

“Well what are we supposed to do? Do you think I should just go along with this too?” Weaver replied and she picked up an apple and took a bite out of it, “I mean is there anything we can do?”

“The phones are all locked with a security code and so are all the doors, not to mention the fence which is six feet tall and electrified.” Abby muttered before she ran a hand through her hair and then pulled a cigarette from her pocket and lit it, “The only thing I can think of is taking him down…physically.”

“Well gee Abby…do you think any one of us is strong enough to do that? Even with the both of us together I highly doubt…”

“I know, that’s why we need to get Amber back she’s a fifth degree black belt but,” Abby took a long drag from her cigarette and then exhaled it slowly, “She sleeps in the room with us and…well it’s less like a sleep and more of a meditative state, she keeps her eyes open. At first I thought it was just something to scare me but if I move even just to turn over her eyes follow me.”

“If she’s a fifth degree black belt she could take both of us down with out even breaking a sweat. How are we going to get her to snap out of it?”

“Well that’s where you come in…you need to distract Carter so I can switch the drugs so he is only injecting her with a saline solution but there are two problems that come along with that.” Abby took another hit from her cigarette, “One is he keeps the drugs locked up, I know the combination but they are still a pain to get too, secondly you are going to have to keep him busy for quite a while for me to do this.”

“Wait a minute…” Weaver swallowed what she had in her mouth, “Why do I have to distract him.”

“Do you think he’s going to let you walk around this house with out supervision? Besides you don’t know where anything is and you can’t run.” Abby explained and Weaver knew she was right but she was beginning to wonder what distracting Carter might actually entail. She put her hands to her face and rubbed her eyes slightly and then looked up at Abby.

“Why don’t you just do it when he’s not home?”

“He has security monitors in every room he will receive an automated phone call if I enter that room, on his cell phone. When he is here he turns the message system off and if you are distracting him he most certainly won’t be worried about what I’m doing.” She replied before snubbing her cigarette out in a near by crystal ashtray.

“What kind of distraction do you have in mind?” Weaver asked but then there was a noise of a door opening and footsteps in the hallway/

“She put a sedative in your water get back on the floor now.” Abby commanded in a urgent but soft tone of voice, Weaver didn’t question it she knew that Amber could take them both down in an instant and if they wanted any chance of escape then she was going to have to do what Abby wanted. She got down on the floor and Abby put the handcuffs on her but not as tight as they were before, “You are going to fall asleep again and you probably won’t wake up until Carter gets back but remember do what ever it takes to distract him.” She whispered into Weaver’s ear before she went back and sat in her chair, at the last moment she reached over the table to the apple Kerry was eating and took a bite out of it herself, she certainly didn’t want Amber to know that she had been letting Kerry eat. Amber stepped into the room and looked around, after deciding that there was nothing suspicious about the current scenery she walked over to Weaver who was kneeling on the carpet in the same spot she was before. She got down and brought the glass of water she was holding to Weaver’s lips.

“Drink.” Amber said, finally Kerry was able to look into her eyes only to see they were glazed over and her pupils were a little more dilated then they should be. She didn’t know if she wanted to pass out again but at the same time she didn’t want to take her chances with Amber so she opened her mouth. Amber gently tilted the glass forward and Weaver started to drink, she was amazed at how thirsty she actually was she didn’t even feel thirsty till the water hit her tongue. Finally Amber pulled the glass back it was still half filled with water but the sedative was already kicking in…and Weaver’s eyes began to droop. She opened her mouth in a yawn and then gently lowered herself to the floor letting sleep overtake her body once again.

Sex, Lies. And John Carter

Part II

When Weaver woke for the second time she was on the same bed but this time Carter was in the room with her along with Amber. It took her a moment to remember how she got there but Abby’s voice resounded in her head telling her to do what ever it takes to distract him.

“John, what…”

“Shhh…” He put his finger to his lips and walked over to the bed and sat down next to her before he reached out and started to stroke her hair. “Now…you don’t want me to have to hurt you…right?” He sort of nodded trying to get her to nod yes along with him. She looked at him for a moment and once again Abby’s voice reminded her to do whatever it took, and she thought that maybe a few minutes of humiliation would be worth her freedom. She nodded with him and he ran his fingers through her hair one last time before standing up, he walked over to a chair that was across from the bed and picked up a glass of brandy that was sitting on the table next to it and took a sip.

“What do you want from me?” Weaver whispered looking at Amber who was already starting to get undressed in a rather sensual strip tease. She stood in front of Carter and unbuttoned her shirt one button at a time, she slid off her shirt and let it drop to the floor to reveal she was in a black lace bra. She ran her hands over her perfectly formed breasts massaging them gently and moaning just slightly before turning to look at Weaver. She moved her ass in some unheard rhythm that was completely enticing and Kerry wasn’t able to tear her gaze from the dancing beauty in front of her. As Amber continued to massage her breasts she reached to the center of the bra and unclasped it from the front and then let it fall giving Kerry a perfect view of her chest. Carter seemed completely content with watching Amber’s ass move and even though he was in the room Kerry couldn’t help but get aroused by this sensual display. Amber then turned back so she was facing Carter and she unzipped her black leather skirt and slid out of it slowly, letting it run across her perfectly toned and silky smooth legs, every inch touching her perfect skin until she was only in black lace panties and black stiletto heels that arched her foot in an impossible but sexy way.

“Amber has been so lonely you know,” Carter spoke finally his voice was completely composed considering that he was watching this woman undress in front of him, “And well Abby has no idea what she is doing with another woman, although I can’t deny the wonderful skills she has with the male body…anyway I brought you here to pleasure Amber and keep me entertained.”

“Excuse me…”

“You don’t want to be hurt do you? You know I won’t hit another woman but Amber certainly will.” He smiled at her and Amber turned to look at Weaver, he then slapped his hand across her firm ass and bit his lip, “God I can’t wait to see this.”

“Listen Carter I’m not even…”

“Amber…do what you have to in order to get her to comply.” Carter said before picking up his snifter of brandy and taking another sip from it. Amber smiled at Kerry, and Kerry swallowed hard wondering what doing what she had to would entail. Amber walked towards the bed and stopped at the foot off it where she slid off her panties and tossed them behind her where they landed on Carter’s lap, it was almost as if the move had been rehearsed. The only thing remaining on this woman’s perfectly formed body was her black heels and it didn’t look like she was planning on taking them off, which made Kerry feel like she was trapped in some sort of high class porno. Amber climbed onto the bed and crawled towards her with a hungry look in her eyes and it was clear to Kerry that she wasn’t going to give in.

“Listen to me you little bitch…I’ve had to pleasure him for six months with out so much as a glance from another woman so you are going to eat me and you are going to like it…understand?” Amber growled loud enough for Carter to hear and he smiled, a rather big amused smile he was hoping to see Amber finally assert her dominance over Weaver she had been so submissive with Kerry at work and now she had her chance to take over. Kerry didn’t know how she was supposed to respond to that but before she could even think of what to do next Amber shoved her down onto her back and straddled her face, her hot folds were nearly dripping with arousal and it was clear that she wanted this. Weaver swallowed but hesitated, she didn’t know if she actually wanted to do this, especially not in front of Carter but when Amber grabbed her by the hair and shoved her face up it was clear she didn’t have much of a choice. She closed her eyes and tried to clear her mind, but soon her tongue went to work curious as to how Amber tasted. She was amazed at how much this was starting to turn her on, she could barely keep her hands from roaming over her own body to provide pleasure. Her tongue traced the wet folds of the younger woman’s sex hungrily and she pushed her mouth up more trying to take in as much as she possibly could. She barely noticed that Amber’s nails were digging into her skull, mostly she didn’t care, and she kept at it licking eagerly. A few moments later Amber cried out, up until that point she had been completely silent except for a few little sexy grunts that escaped her lips, Weaver guessed that it had something to do with what Carter liked her to do during sex. Amber started to grind down slightly when suddenly Weaver took her tongue and flicked it over Amber’s hard exposed clit. Amber screamed loud enough for the neighbors to hear and they were more then a mile away. She held Kerry’s head into her until she had finished with her climax and Kerry had finished licking her completely clean. Amber let out a long breath and climbed off of Kerry and fell down onto the bed next to her. Kerry was breathing hard and for just a moment she forgot that Carter was there so she leaned over and kissed Amber, who did not hesitate to kiss her back just as passionately it was almost as if just for a second she actually was aware of what was going on.

“Kerry come over here darling.” Carter’s voice interrupted their brief but oh so wonderful romantic interlude. Weaver’s mind was completely engulfed in arousal almost to the point where all she could think about was getting herself off. She stood up from the bed and turned to face him, he smiled at her and motioned for her to come over. “Crawl for me.” She didn’t know why, but she found herself getting down onto all fours and crawling to him like a cat in heat. She hadn’t had any kind of sexual contact in a very long time and now it seemed like that’s all her body wanted and she suddenly began to ache for his touch. She made it over to him and climbed up into his lap before kissing him just as passionately as she had kissed Amber just moments before.

“Oh god John…”

“Shhh…” He put a finger to her lips gently and smiled, “You want me to fuck you right?” She nodded in agreement with him, “Then ask for it.”

“I…uh…” At first she couldn’t get the words to come but then she took a deep breath and swallowed hard, “John, would you please fuck me?” Even she could hardly believe that she had formed that sentence but it didn’t matter any more because he was already undressing her. When he got her shirt open he stood up and carried her over to the bed and laid her down by Amber who was sitting up slightly recovering from her powerful orgasm just a few moments before. After laying Kerry down he straddled her and too off her bra before working on her black slacks. He unzipped her pants slowly and teasingly, making her arousal burn hotter with every second that he took. Finally he had her completely naked, and he ran his hands gently over her magnificent chest and down her beautiful stomach and then her thighs. She groaned and arched her back her body begging for his touch. He smiled at her reaction and quickly undressed himself before sliding his very hard cock into her tight little body, she was so much smaller then him and he liked that…it gave him a feeling of power. She moaned loudly and wrapped her arms around his neck, then surprisingly enough Amber leaned over and started to kiss her, she hesitated for just a second and closed her eyes kissing back. She didn’t think she had ever felt this much pleasure, Amber’s hands roamed Weaver’s body as her tongue explored her mouth and as Carter thrust in and out of her in a steady rhythm. She continued to moan even as the kisses became deeper and stronger and she knew that she was very close to going over the edge. Then almost as if Amber knew she slide her hand down to Weaver’s exposed clit and stroked it softly, in an explosion of sheer ecstasy Weaver screamed out turning her head away from Amber’s mouth to draw in air, the tightening of her body was enough to send Carter of the edge too and he groaned her name as he came hard, she could feel his hot seed spill inside of her and she actually liked it. He waited a moment before pulling away from her and getting his pants back on.

“Amber would you like to stay here for the night?” Carter said in a sweet voice as he started to put his shirt back on. She nodded happily and he smiled back at her, Weaver laid there in a state of being completely content and at the same time ready to drift off to sleep. “Have a good night you two…I’ll see you in the morning.” And with that he left the room closing the door behind him, locking it only just to be sure, but Weaver wouldn’t have left if he had kept the door wide open. She finally had found a place where she wanted to stay even if it meant being controlled by two of her co workers.

The next morning Weaver awoke to an amazing breakfast which was laid out on a table not far from the bed, it was close enough that she could walk to it with out her crutch. Amber was asleep next to her leaving her to wonder who brought them breakfast in the first place. It smelled so wonderful, there was everything there and she couldn’t believe how hungry she was. She carefully got out of the bed so she wouldn’t disturb Amber and pulled on the elegant silk robe that was draped over the chair at the table before sitting down to eat. Amber groaned softly and then rolled over, her eyes fluttered open and they quickly focused on Weaver. She was, amazingly, still wearing those incredibly sexy black heels.

“Good morning Kerry.” She said with a smile on her face, she climbed out of the bed making no attempt to cover her naked form and all at once Kerry felt herself becoming aroused again. She looked back to her food even though she could feel her face getting hot, and the space between her legs getting even hotter. Amber walked over to the chair and pulled on the robe that was provided for her and then sat down and started to eat. At first Weaver didn’t really pay attention to what her roommate was doing but when she looked up she saw Amber’s beautiful lips wrapped around a strawberry and she bit into it slowly.

“Uh…did you sleep okay?” Weaver finally stuttered before forcing herself to look away from what Amber was doing with her mouth. Amber finished chewing her strawberry and then she reached forward and dipped her index finger in the bowl of fresh whipped cream that was in the center. She brought the finger to her lips slowly and licked it off, keeping direct eye contact with Kerry the whole time.

“I slept well, I miss my real master though…Carter was just borrowing me. You know the truth is I don’t really hate men, well not Carter or…” She smiled and trailed off almost as if she was purposefully hiding the name of the other man so she wouldn’t shock Kerry.

“Or who?” Weaver could only imagine who this other person was, and she was thinking that he must be one hell of a man, not only in bed, but all around. Amber seemed to like playing the little slave girl, the little victim, but on the other hand when given the chance she really knew how to take control of things.

“Carter wasn’t my original master, I don’t think I’ll be here for much longer.” She picked up her glass of orange juice and took a sip, “He brought me here to help train you but I don’t think you are going to need much training…you like the domination don’t you.”

“Well I wouldn’t say that I…”

“Don’t bullshit me Kerry.” Amber replied as she set the crystal glass down on the table and reached for another strawberry, “You were so horny last night and I can guarantee you it had nothing to do with the sedative I put in your water.”

“Wait a minute, you were acting so weird yesterday…like…”

“Like a zombie? Kerry there comes a time in life where you realize that fighting back is going to get you no where…besides if I tried anything don’t you think Abby would have helped. Not to mention the fact that he matches me in martial arts training.” She popped the piece of fruit into her mouth and started to chew it carefully.

“But if you weren’t originally with him, who were you with? Are they partners of some sort?” Weaver replied, she opened a packet of sugar and poured it into her coffee and then started to stir the hot liquid absent mindedly.

“Originally I entered into this slave training thing thinking that I would belong to only one man.” She picked up another glob of whipped cream on her finger and licked it off, Kerry was starting to wish that she wouldn’t do that because it was turning her on to no end. “But then he leant me to Carter to help with you. At first I didn’t want to do it but then when they told me that I would get to taste your sweet skin, and feel your lips pressed against mine I couldn’t resist.”

“Amber stop avoiding…tell me who this other man is.” Weaver demanded before taking a sip of the coffee and setting her cup back down onto the white china plate in front of her. Amber took another bit of whipped cream and slowly raised her finger to her mouth to lick it off when Weaver’s hand darted out and grabbed her wrist.

“What are you doing?” Amber replied, her voice soft and sexy almost as if she was more turned on then threatened by this action. Weaver took in a deep breath and licked her lips before leaning in and taking Amber’s finger in her mouth, sucking the sweet cream off of the other woman’s finger gently. She then sat back down and smiled almost wickedly. Amber’s body shuddered slightly with arousal and she crossed her legs elegantly before speaking.

“You’ll find out, soon enough, I promise.” And with that she winked at Weaver and stood up pulling her robe tighter, “I’m going to take a nice, hot, bubble bath now. You can join me when you are finished if you wish.” She then turned and walked towards another door that was in the room and stepped inside of it, but not before dropping her robe and giving Weaver a very nice view of her perfectly toned ass. Weaver swallowed hard, her eyes focusing on the tattoo on Amber’s lower back, it seemed to be some kind of intricate script, maybe a name but with out her glasses she couldn’t read it. The door shut slowly behind Amber, and a few moments after the water started to run, Weaver made her way into the bathroom, there was no way she was going to pass a chance like this up.

After the bath time fun Weaver was sitting on the bed and in front of her sat Amber, she was brushing her hair gently wondering who this other man could be. She thought that it was most likely Luka, it was hard for her to picture anyone else talking her into doing something like this. Amber sighed softly and then yawned, she turned her head to look at Weaver and smiled. Almost as soon as she did that the door to the room opened and Abby was standing there looking pale.

“He’s here Amber…” She muttered not looking at either of them, she then turned and left the room and headed down the hallway slowly. Amber squealed with delight and got off of the bed before adjusting her skin tight black dress and making sure her boots were laced up nicely.

“Come on Kerry he’s here.” She grabbed Weaver’s arm, Weaver was dressed in jeans and a white shirt with a black sweater over it, she had found a whole bunch of her own clothes in the dresser that sat by the window in the room. Feeling a little nervous about the way things were going she stood up and Amber helped her out into the hall. Abby was ahead of them, she was walking very slow and shaking her head slightly. Weaver could hear her talking, but she was obviously talking to herself, and no words could be made out.

After about five minutes of careful walking they entered the lounge that was at the bottom of the first set of steps. Weaver instantly froze when she finally saw who the other man was, it was none other then Robert Romano and for a moment she thought she was going to be sick. Abby entered from behind them and Amber smiled and ran over to him and literally leapt into his lap.

“Nice to see you too.” He said to her before lifting his good arm to stroke her soft hair, Weaver couldn’t find any words to say so she just leaned up against the frame of the door and closed her eyes. She started to pray that this wasn’t happening, that none of this was real, she didn’t want to even think about what Romano might have in store for her. “Get over yourself Kerry I wouldn’t touch you with a six foot pole.”

“He’s not here for you he’s here for Amber.” Carter said, he stood up from his chair and walked over to Kerry and pulled her into the room, “Don’t worry I wouldn’t let him touch you…ever.” Weaver was a bit relieved about that but she was still nervous, there was no way she wanted Romano to see her like this. Carter sat her down on the black leather couch that was in the room and then sat next to her putting his arm around her trembling form.

“I don’t know what you see in her.” Romano muttered and then pulled Amber into a passionate kiss. Amber kissed him back with equal passion and Kerry shuddered, wondering how such a wonderful woman could fall for such a devious man. “She can’t even walk.” He muttered when he pulled away from Amber, his voice was soft but that didn’t mean Weaver couldn’t hear what he was saying.

“Well I’m going to need help with her training you know.” Carter smiled and started to stroke Weaver’s hair, “And since I really can’t see my self being firm with her I think you might be of some help.”

“Excuse me? Training? What training?” Weaver’s head snapped around to look at Carter but he just continued to play with her hair and ignore what she was saying. “CARTER!”

“You only speak when spoken to…” Romano said in a firm voice and then he made a hand motion at Carter and Carter surprisingly backhanded Weaver. Weaver cried out and put a hand to her face, she looked over to Abby who was just sitting in her chair looking out of the door like she was thinking about making a run for it. Amber giggled and ran her hand over Romano’s cheek and then down his chest before leaning in and kissing him again.

“Do you know how sexy you are?” She whispered to him, Weaver’s face burned from the blow and now her stomach was knotting as she watched Amber turned into a giggling school girl for Romano. She started to contemplate this whole training thing and she wondered if Abby had to go through it or not. Abby seemed to be in her own little world for the time being and Weaver made a mental note to ask her about it a little later.

“What? So you want me to stay here for a few days and whip her into shape?” Romano asked Carter with a rather sly smile on his face. Weaver’s jaw dropped slightly for a moment, then she closed her mouth and her lower lip started to tremble slightly. There was no way she was going to let Romano whip her into shape, or touch her, or even treat her like she was less then human.

“Yeah if you have nothing better to do.” Carter replied nonchalantly, he removed his arm from being around Weaver and leaned forward putting his elbows on his legs and then his chin in his hands. Amber smiled and continued running her hand over his chest gently, like she was completely oblivious to what was going on. It was hard for Weaver to believe that Amber wasn’t drugged, or brainwashed, but something was going on. Whatever it was it didn’t seem to really effect Abby, unless she was just pretending to be brainwashed to avoid getting hurt. In any case Weaver didn’t know if she could take being “Trained” by Romano, but on the other hand she didn’t think she could pretend to be trained by him either. She felt a tear escape her eye and she brushed it away angrily, her cheek still stinging from the slap.

“Are we still going with the plan to bring in Dr. Lewis and Corday?” Romano asked as he let his hand trace over Amber’s neck and then her chest gently. Amber groaned softly much like she did when Weaver had touched her. When Kerry heard him say that she blinked a few times and looked at Carter wondering if all of this was true. If it was, what the hell did they plan to do with two more women? What the hell did they hope to accomplish? Kerry’s mind started to spin with all sorts of questions which she didn’t dare ask because she was afraid Carter might hit her again if she spoke out of turn.

“Yeah I know I can get Susan here but…”

“Don’t worry I’ll take care of Lizzie…we are having dinner tonight I assured her it was strictly on a friendly basis.” Romano said with a serious look in his eye and Carter looked back for a moment before they both broke into an almost sinister laugh. Weaver put her head in her hands for a moment and tried to keep herself from breaking down into sobs. After she took a few deep breaths she looked up to Abby who was now staring at the floor also trying to fight back her tears, causing Weaver to wonder if she knew more then she was letting on. There was definitely something wrong with Carter, this wasn’t like him at all, and that’s exactly when she started to suspect Romano.

She had never trusted Romano, ever, and she wondered if he wasn’t above some how brainwashing Carter and Amber into doing these crazy things. What better target then a man who has tons of money and a reputation that no one is going to question? It was clear to her that John wasn’t the same person she knew six months ago, neither was Amber. The only one who seemed to retain some sort of normality was Abby, but she was doing a pretty good job at hiding it from the rest of the world. She told herself that next time she was with Carter she would have to talk to him about all of this, but they would have to be alone in order for her to bring this up. Little did she know that being alone with Carter was going to be almost impossible over the next few weeks, because Amber was brought in to keep Romano’s sick plan in motion.

The next morning when Weaver woke up her hands were tired behind her back and her ankles were tied too, to top it all off there was a gag in her mouth. She was still on the same bed she had slept in the night before but when her eyes focused she saw Amber and Romano standing at the foot of the bed.

“Watch this…” Romano said to Amber and then he moved slightly like he was going to hit Weaver, Kerry winced and closed her eyes but he didn’t even touch her, “She’s scared of me…how about that?” He looked at Amber and laughed, she laughed along with him and Weaver felt her stomach turn once again. “Alright Kerry Amber is going to remove the gag only if you promise not to scream or bite.” Weaver glanced over at Amber for a moment and then back to Romano before nodding her head yes. Romano smiled at Amber who quickly got on the bed and pulled the gag from Weaver’s mouth gently.

“Why are you doing this?” Weaver whispered as she slowly inched herself as far away from Romano as she possibly could. He took a seat on the edge of the bed and looked at her for a moment, his eyes reflected only pure evil.

“I’m doing this to YOU because I hate you. I’m doing this to everyone else because well…what man doesn’t want three sex slaves?” Romano replied and then he laughed slightly, “You will be here with Carter for a long time, and trust me it’s not going to be fun. Maybe all of you should have taken this into consideration when I lost my arm…poor Romano can’t do anything any more…well who feels stupid now?”

“Romano I never said anything like that about…”

“SHUT UP!” He swiftly backhanded her, “Don’t talk unless I ask you too…and no you may not have said that out loud but your eyes…it was always in your eyes.” He growled and then stood up, Amber looked at him with concern and empathy Weaver just felt plain anger at this point. She struggled against her restraints but they were tight and she soon realized that she wasn’t going to get them off unless someone helped her, so there was no use in struggling because she would just hurt herself.

“Romano you are mistaken,” Weaver growled risking the possibility that he might hit her again, “I never felt sorry for you…I felt that you deserved it!” She sneered at him and that’s when she was hit in the jaw with his fist as hard as he could bring himself to hit a woman. Weaver cried out and fell back onto the bed she tried to keep her eyes open but the pain was too much and soon she was dead to the world.

When she woke up the first person she saw was Abby who was sitting next to her putting ice on her face, as far as she could tell there was no one else in the room with them. At first she couldn’t even remember what had happened but it slowly started to dawn on her that there might not be a way out of this. She groaned and turned her head so she was looking at Abby and then forced herself to sit up slowly.

“Something’s wrong with John.” She said softly trying not to move her mouth more then she needed too, she took the ice pack from Abby and held it on her face herself. It hurt to breathe and she couldn’t figure out why considering she was hit in the face. She winced and put a hand to her side wondering what was wrong, she slowly lifted her shirt to reveal two large bruises on her side extending to her back and over her stomach.

“I know there is something wrong with John, he’s addicted to pain killers again. As for you, you are lucky I came in when I did I had to pull Romano away from you.” Abby said to her and then she saw back on the bed and looked in Weaver’s direction, “He wants to kill you and I don’t think there is much stopping him. So are you willing to do things my way to get out or are you going to continue to be stubborn?” Weaver took in another shallow breath and swallowed hard, she had only been there for a few days but Abby had been there for months and so she decided it was high time she started to listen to Abby’s plan.

“Okay…fine…what’s the plan?”

* * *

“Lizzie it’s so nice to see you again.” Romano said as he entered the bedroom where Elizabeth was placed. It was considerably nicer then the room Susan had been placed in but that was only because he liked her more. Corday groaned, the sedative still hadn’t worn off and her head was throbbing the last thing she wanted to do was talk to Romano. He walked over to the bed and sat down next to her and right behind him was Amber ready to pounce on Corday if she decided to try anything.

“What do you want from me Romano?” Corday whispered, she brought her hands up to rub her eyes trying to force her body out of it’s tired state even though she knew that it had been drug induced. Romano leaned forward and started to stroke her hair gently, through the course of the night some one had taken it out of the messy bun she had it in for surgery.

“For you to end up exactly like her.” He motioned in Amber’s direction and Amber smiled at Corday like everything was as normal as it should be.

“Amber? You’re alive?” Corday whispered she was just as surprised as Weaver was when she had found out the few days before.

“Yes…and I feel better then I have in years.” She stepped up towards the bed and then set herself down in Romano’s lap before planting a kiss on his cheek. Romano turned his head to smile at Corday and then he wrapped his good arm around Amber. “This is going to be fun I’m going to have a new toy to play with.”

“Toy? What the hell are you talking about?” Corday spat as her brain started to register what was going on. She felt her stomach turn and she was almost positive she was going to be sick, it was probably just a side effect from the drug they had given her. She closed her eyes and pulled her knees up to her chest and took a few deep breaths to calm her body and stomach.

“Don’t worry Elizabeth after training you won’t get so sick at the idea.” Romano said and then he pulled out a syringe which had a clear liquid in it. Corday felt her body begin to shake and she tried to inch herself away from Romano but she couldn’t move fast because her head was pounding so terribly. Abby had been in there long before Romano had gotten to her, and Abby had explained her plan to Corday and then Susan, telling the both of them to distract Romano and John for as long as they possibly could so she could take care of switching the drugs with saline. Once John started to inject himself with the saline solution he would come down from his constant high, which Romano had started again by drugging Carter’s coffee day after day. After a while Romano became the provider of the drugs and since Carter had such a dependency on them he was willing to do almost anything for his next fix. Amber on the other hand was on a drug that shut down a lot of her higher brain function and made her very open to suggestion. Once she was injected with the saline solution she would be able to use logic once more and hopefully realize what she had been doing. Remembering what Abby said about keeping Romano busy Corday sucked up her pride and lowered her knees. She then repositioned herself so she was crawling towards Romano and then she pulled him into a kiss. Romano kissed her back with equal passion and for the moment Amber slipped off of his lap and sat on the edge of the bed where she lit up a cigarette. Romano planned to keep Amber in there for the time being because she was practically his bodyguard. Corday told herself to continue no matter what she had to do because she knew that it might be her only chance of getting out of there, and she most certainly didn’t want to end up like Amber.

While Corday was busy distracting Romano and Susan was having her time with Carter, Abby snuck into Carter’s room and started to refill every syringe she found with saline solution. She knew that this wouldn’t fix their problems right away but she did know that once Carter couldn’t get a fix and Amber was sobered up things would start to change. She realized that the saline might have a placebo effect on Carter which she could deal with but there was no way it would have that kind of effect on Amber. She found every needle, everyone Carter thought he had hidden from her. They were in drawers, behind mirrors, taped under the table just about every place that was small enough to hide one. She barely made it out of there in time and she returned to her spot in the lounge and lit a cigarette forcing herself into another zone like state. She smiled just for a few moments it was all over, now she was just going to have to wait.

The next morning Amber woke up next to Romano, her head was spinning and she was in a cold sweat. She didn’t quite understand why she was feeling this way although she knew that there couldn’t be a good reason for it. Her mind and vision were clear for the first time in months, she was actually able to hear herself think and it scared her a little. She looked over to see Romano laying asleep next to her and everything came flooding back but this time she was in a rational state of mind there was no more drug in her system. She sat there for a moment rocking herself back and fourth before she knew she was going to be sick and she ran into the bathroom and emptied her stomach in the toilet.

On the other end of the house Carter was also in a cold sweat, thinking that Abby was asleep next to him he opened the drawer to the bedside table and pulled out one of the needles that had been tampered with and injected the liquid into his wrist. He almost instantly started to calm down, thinking that the solution in the needle was in fact a small dosage of morphine but he was wrong. Abby’s back was too him but her eyes were opened slightly, she knew what he was doing and she smiled before shutting her eyes again.

Meanwhile Susan, Elizabeth, and Kerry were all asleep in the same room, Susan had opted to take the couch that was across from the bed. Abby had already been up early and had delivered them breakfast, which was now sitting on the table only a few feet away from the couch. Susan was the first to wake up seeing as how the couch wasn’t very comfortable to sleep on. She yawned and stretched a little before her eyes focused on the food that was in front of her, and she couldn’t believe how hungry she was. She was fast asleep when Abby had delivered the food so she didn’t know where it came from but that didn’t stop her from pouring a cup of coffee and biting into one of the muffins that sat in the center of the table. As she ate she picked up the news paper that had been set down there and started to read, trying to keep her mind off of what was really happening, when she noticed Corday bolt upright in bed. She stopped chewing and looked in Elizabeth’s direction before watching her get out of bed and making a mad dash for the bathroom, where sounds of retching followed. Susan continued to eat and a few moments later there was running water and the sound of a toilet flushing.

“What’s for breakfast?” Corday’s voice sounded from behind her, Lewis turned her head to look at her before going back to reading the paper.

“Did you just puke?” Lewis asked her after taking another bite of the muffin she was holding in her hand. She blindly reached for her cup of coffee and took a long drink, the temperature of the coffee was just right and she knew that the food couldn’t have been sitting there for very long.

“Yes…Yes I did.”

“Are you okay?” Susan took a long sip of her coffee before setting it back down on the glass topped table and turning the page to the newspaper she was holding.

“I’m fine, realty just hit me…you know…what I did for Romano yesterday to distract him.” She shuddered slightly and then sat down across from Susan and poured herself a cup of coffee. “Who brought us the food?”

“I don’t know it was here when I woke up.” She replied and then flipped over another page to the news paper as if she was looking for something. Finally her eyes rested on a headline that read “5 County Doctors missing” that was what she was looking for. She started to read it, wondering if anyone had any leads as to where they were but since there was absolutely no foul play involved in getting them there it just looked like they had all picked up and left for better things. She finished the article and sighed wishing that for just once the police would actually do something useful.

“What is it?”

“Just an article on us vanishing…and they used the most out of date picture of me they could find.” She folded the newspaper and handed it over to Corday who skimmed the headline briefly before setting the paper back down on the table. “This plan of Abby’s better work or we are all screwed.”

“Oh, so she talked to you too?” Corday said as she stirred some sugar into her coffee, she brought the cup to her lips slowly and took a sip, smiling slightly at the fact that it was flavored coffee. She looked over the huge arrangement of foods that were set out on the table and decided to have some strawberries and whipped cream, she wanted to take it easy on her stomach.

“Yeah, she’s the only reason why Carter got a blow job from me last night.” Lewis responded and then shuddered before looking over to Corday, “Do you think it’s going to work?”

“Well if it doesn’t I know that Abby is going to get her ass kicked.” Corday muttered and then popped a strawberry into her mouth, “There is no way I’m doing any of that stuff to Romano again willingly.”

“I hear that.” Lewis replied and then she finished off her coffee when she noticed that Weaver was awake and sitting on the edge of the bed just staring out of the window. She had been there longer then Corday and Lewis and she was starting to feel like nothing was going to get them out of there. Around her right eye there was a bruise, and the injuries on her side, back, and stomach made it even harder to breathe this morning. She groaned slightly and made her way to the third chair that was at the table and sat down slowly, the other two women looked at her.

“What happened to you?” Susan asked her sounding only slightly concerned not realizing the seriousness of the situation yet. Weaver poured herself a cup of coffee and took a long drink, she didn’t know if she wanted to tell Dr. Lewis and Corday exactly what had happened to her, she was completely humiliated by the whole thing.

“Romano kicked the crap out of me when I told him that he deserved to get his arm chopped off by a helicopter.” She replied, her bottom lip was still swollen so it was a little hard to understand her but her point was made and the other two women looked at each other wondering how long it was going to be before Romano beat the living hell out of them.

Romano woke up to the sound of Amber puking in the bathroom that was located just a few feet from the bed. He groaned and cursed softly because she was being so loud before rolling over and looking at the clock. It was 8:30 in the morning, he sighed and forced himself to sit up and then get out of bed to see what was wrong with Amber. He walked into the bathroom and got down next her where he pulled her hair back gently while she vomited. She was shaking terribly and crying just a little bit which made him think that she had just some how contracted a virus. She finally finished and pushed back from the toilet and rested her head against the cold tile wall. Even though she was shaking her body was burning up, she was scared, no not just scared, she was terrified and she didn’t know why. She finally opened her eyes and turned her head to see who was in the bathroom with her and when she saw Romano she nearly screamed.

“Hey, Hey, Amber it’s just me sweetie you’re sick.” Romano whispered to her as he very gently pushed some hair out of her face. Neither of them knew that the drug he thought he had given her the night before was no more then saline. To him she seemed completely disorientated but he chalked that all up to the fever that she had, or seemed to have. She couldn’t remember how she got there, where she was, or why Romano was calling her sweetie but whatever the reason was she knew it couldn’t be good so she decided to play along with him.

“I’m sick.” She muttered and he helped her to her feet slowly, she walked over to the sink and grabbed her tooth brush and started to brush her teeth. He stood behind her with a look of genuine concern on his face, now she was sure that it was better not to question what was going on.

“I know…I know…” He pushed some of the hair that was in her face behind her ear, “You need some fluids or you’ll get dehydrated I’ll be right back and I’ll tell Carter that you aren’t up for training today.” He nodded at her and then left the bathroom, she rinsed out her mouth wondering what the hell he meant by that but her body ached and when she saw the bed wasn’t far from the bathroom she walked over to it and laid down. She grabbed the remote control from the bedside table and turned the TV on, she did this when she was sick because it usually took her mind off of how bad she was actually feeling.

“We are going on day three of the missing doctors, Susan Lewis and Elizabeth Corday went missing three days ago, another Doctor, Kerry Weaver, went missing four days ago. On top of that there seems to be a pattern with missing county general doctors, for six months Abigail Lockhart and Amber McKay have been missing.” The reporter stated, she was standing in front of the doors to the hospital and Amber could see Carter behind her yelling at people but still nothing was making much sense to her. The report went on to flash pictures of her and her co workers and just as it begun it was over. Amber started to think, she knew she wasn’t really sick with a virus because it felt more like a drug withdrawal then anything. She remembered a few years back when she had shattered her leg in a car accident and how she felt when they finally took her off of the morphine. She changed the channel so she was watching cartoons, she needed something totally stupid to take her mind off of things, she thought it would help her head to stop spinning.

“Here I brought you some orange juice it’s fresh squeezed compliments of Abby.” He set the tray down on her lap in front of her and she looked at the food for a moment.

“Abby’s here?” She whispered before putting her hand to her forehead to rub it softly, he looked at her strange and then nodded, “Where am I again?”

“Carter’s place…” He put his hand to her forehead himself, she was warm but not nearly warm enough to cause her to be delusional. He shrugged it off knowing that viruses caused different people to act different ways and then he sat down next to her. He was being so nice, it was hard for her to believe that this was the man she used to work with.

“Carter’s place…right.” She muttered before taking a sip of her juice, she didn’t want to drink or eat but as a doctor she knew that it was important to get liquids into her system after she had been sick like that. If Abby was there it made her wonder if there was any connection to Susan, Kerry, and Elizabeth, maybe they were there with her too. She didn’t want to sound too suspicious so she phrased her next question carefully, “How are Lewis, Corday, and Weaver doing?”

“Fine, Kerry’s recovering from the injuries I gave her…got that woman has a mouth on her.” Romano replied and then laid back down next to her. Amber almost choked on her drink when she heard that but she knew she had to pretend like everything was normal, even though she didn’t know how normal was supposed to be. She was going to have to play off having a virus for a little bit before she knew exactly what was going on there. “I have to get into work…” He leaned in and kissed her forehead just as gently as he had held her hair back in the bathroom, “Feel better okay?”

“Yeah…I’ll get some more sleep.” She replied hoping that sleep would help her remember what had happened and most importantly why she had been drugged to the point of having withdrawal. She watched him get up and grab some clothes and go into the bathroom, when he came out he was dressed for work and she forced a weak smile at him.

“If you need anything you can call Abby on the house line.” He motioned to the phone that was by the bed then he smiled at her and left. She forced herself to wait twenty minutes before calling Abby, she was watching the clock waiting for each minute to tick by, she knew she was going to have to wait until she was sure that Romano had left. She knew Carter was at the hospital because she saw him in the background of the live news report.

“Abby?” She whispered after picking up the phone and dialing the in house line, luckily Abby was the only other person in the house who had access to the phones.

“Amber? Is that you?”

“Yeah…it’s me alright…do me a favor and get your sweet ass up here and tell me what the HELL is going on!” Amber growled into the phone before slamming it back down onto the receiver. Her head started to pound again, almost unbearably and she curled up into a fetal position and put the cold pillow over her head for a moment trying to make it subside. Soon Abby entered the room holding two aspirin in her hand for Amber to take. It wouldn’t make her feel completely better but it would stop the terrible headache she was experiencing.

“Amber?” Abby asked after she stepped into the room and shut the door behind her, “Are you awake?” Amber groaned and moved the pillow from her head and looked over to Abby, squinting her eyes because they weren’t yet adjusted to the light. Abby held out the pain killers to Amber, who hesitated but then grabbed them and downed them with a swig of OJ.

“What the hell is going on here? Where are the other? And why the FUCK was I sleeping with Romano?” Amber snapped at Abby. The poor woman was so happy to see Amber acting like her normal self that she felt tears prick at her eyes and she sat down on the bed by Amber and pulled her into a hug, Amber recognized that she was upset and hugged her back tightly.

“Okay, for six months Romano has had you on some mind altering drug and he has some how convinced Carter to use us all as sex slaves but getting him addicted to painkillers again and becoming his provider.” Abby said after she pulled away from the hug, Amber’s jaw dropped slightly and then she started to laugh a little bit thinking that this all just had to be a very bad dream.

“Let’s try this again and this time…tell me the truth.”

“That is the truth AMBER…” Abby growled she had gone through all of this trouble to sober Amber up and now she didn’t even believed her, “The drug he gave you probably caused you to forget most of what has happened but if you don’t believe me I have surveillance film of everything they did to you.” Amber shook her head and started to laugh again when she saw the completely serious look on Abby’s face, that’s when she shut her mouth. Abby put her head in her hands for a moment and then took in a deep breath before pushing her hair back into a pony tail.

“I want to see those videos.” Amber whispered, her mouth was now dry and it was getting harder for her to breathe but she didn’t think she could believe what Abby had just told her with out seeing these videos and what was even worse was she didn’t want to know what happened. She told herself it would be better to know, so she could start to cope, and some how con her way out of this situation and help the others out too. “Abby why did it take so long for you to…well…do whatever you did to get me sober?”

“For the longest time it was only you and me, and since Romano had you under some kind of spell you would have kicked my ass if I would have tried anything. I decided that I was going to need another person here to distract the both of them while I switched the meds. Romano wouldn’t go anywhere with out you and Carter is so doped up on drugs most of the time he wouldn’t notice if I snuck into his room and replaced all of the needles. I’m sorry it took so long but I couldn’t risk being beat to death by a fifth degree black belt who obeyed every command given to her.” Abby explained and then she started to cry, she put her hands to her face and her body just trembled with sobs. Amber felt so bad about this whole situation, even though she knew that it was basically all out of her control up until now but she wished that she could have been stronger, that she could have fought them instead scaring Abby half to death.

“Well it’s me now…I’m here…and the next ass I’m kicking ain’t going to be yours.” Amber said to her, she put an arm around Abby’s shaking form and pulled her into another hug, “I’ll get them for this I promise you.”

“No…” She pulled away just slightly to look in Amber’s eyes, “Not Carter none of this is his fault…promise me you won’t hurt Carter.”

“Look…you said you replaced the needles with Saline right?” Amber asked and Abby nodded slightly as she wiped the tears away from her face, “Well Carter is at county getting more drugs…so your plan may have worked on me but it certainly isn’t going to stop him. Before anything else…and I mean anything…we are going to have to get Carter sobered up otherwise we are screwed because he’s obviously willing to do almost anything to get a fix.”

“Okay but how are we going to do that?” Abby sighed as she started to give up any possible hope of getting out of there alive. Amber looked at her for a moment, and as her head started to clear she came up with a plan. She leaned in and started to whisper into Abby’s ear, and for the first time in months Abby began to smile.

After Abby had informed Amber of how she was supposed to act when she was on the drug, she left Amber to get some rest and headed into the room where the other three women were waiting. She was glad that she was going to tell them that there wouldn’t be training today and hopefully not ever if they could form a plan to take Romano down.

A few hours later Romano and Carter returned from the day of work, like it was perfectly normal that all of the missing doctors were in his house. Amber was feeling a lot better and she was in her room working out, getting prepared to fight some one that she almost didn’t stand a chance against. Romano was a master black belt, and she was only a fifth degree which meant that he could take her down rather easily. She thought at first that he was at a disadvantage because he only had one arm but then she remembered that Karate had everything to do with using your enemies energy against them. When she heard some one approaching she quickly dove back into bed and tried to look as sick as possible. Romano came in and sat down next to her carrying a bag of food that smelled like Chinese take out. She was starving from working out all day and she couldn’t wait to eat but she had to play it off like she was still just a little sick.

“Mm that smells good.” She said in a weak voice, he came over and felt her head and found that the fever he thought she had, had broken. He smiled and took out two containers of food and chopsticks because he knew how much she liked to eat with those. She slowly sat up and opened the first container which was lo mien and smelled it gently. “I’m hungry now…my stomach doest hurt any more.” She smiled at him and started to eat as slow as she could force herself to, she didn’t need him to think she was one hundred percent better. He sat down next to her and turned the TV on to some sitcom but he had no intention of watching it, and he began to eat his food too. It was weird because she wasn’t getting any bad vibes from him, it was also as if he really did care for her which was a little confusing.

“I’m glad you are feeling better.” He said and he looked over to her, “We don’t have to do anything tonight if you aren’t up for it.” He got up and walked over to the table that was in the corner of the room and started to eat once again in silence. She watched him for a moment, she felt sort of strange, this wasn’t the Romano that she knew from county general he was a completely different person. She took a deep breath and got out of the bed and joined him at the table.

“Are you okay…sir?” She quickly added onto the end of it thinking that’s what he expected her to say. He looked at her for a moment and then went back to his food, she frowned slightly and picked up her chopsticks once again and started to eat.

In the other room Weaver was laying on the bed trying to control her breathing even though it caused her immense pain. Susan was sitting at the table eating the dinner that Abby had provided for them and Corday was sitting across from her just staring at the food but she had absolutely no motivation to eat.

“Come on Elizabeth you have to eat something.” Susan said as she took a sip of her wine, she was amazed that they had even provided wine in the first place, “You don’t want to end up like…well…” She sort of nodded in the direction of Weaver who wasn’t paying any attention to them anyway. Corday looked over at Weaver and took in a deep breath before grabbing one of the rolls that was on the table and biting into it.

“Shut up Susan.” Weaver muttered and she carefully rolled onto the side of her that wasn’t bruised and pulled the blanket up over her head. She didn’t want to eat, she didn’t want to sleep, she just wanted to curl up somewhere and die from all the pain and humiliation she was feeling at that moment. A few minutes later Abby walked into the room with a rather large smile on her face and she went and sat down at the third chair that was at the dinner table.

“Amber spent the day doing some physical training now until she can get her strength back up we are going to have to go along with Romano…” Abby paused and waited for Corday or Lewis to complain, Elizabeth opened her mouth to say something and then shut it, she decided to wait till Abby was finished talking first, “But, Amber has promised to make this as easy on you guys as she possibly can. She’s going to try to keep him occupied which means I have the task of distracting Carter.”

“So what you just want us to sit in this room until Amber finally decides to attack him?” Corday blurted out, she didn’t want to be there, and she didn’t even want to think about being forced into sex with Romano again. Abby sighed and ignored Corday’s comment before looking over to Susan to see what her reaction was.

“Hey as long as you keep the food and wine coming I’ll be fine…but I think you should check on Kerry.” She said and then finished what was left in her glass before reaching for the bottle and pouring herself some more. Abby looked at the both of them wondering why they just didn’t check her out but then she remembered how much those two didn’t like Weaver. She thought they might have pulled together to get through this time of crisis but it was now clear that Susan and Elizabeth had formed their own little group excluding her. Abby walked over to the bed and sat down next to Weaver and then leaned over to see how she was doing. Kerry wasn’t asleep yet so she turned her head to look Abby in the eye, she didn’t want help she just wanted everyone to leave her the hell alone.

“I’ll be fine, if you really want to help me get me a vicodin.” Weaver muttered and then she turned her head away so it was resting on the pillow again. She didn’t realize that Abby actually had access to vicodin, and she also didn’t realize that Abby was going to get her just that. Abby nodded slightly thinking that Weaver’s injuries and humiliation deserved some sort of pain killer and the left the room to go get it. As she walked down the hall she began to wonder how she might have been able to prevent things from getting as far as they had. She whished she would have done something earlier but now it was too late and she was going to have to do everything she could to be the strong one of the group.

The next morning Amber was down in one of the lounges with Romano feeding him breakfast, Abby was sitting there watching them as she and Carter ate at a table from across the room. Amber looked rather happy and Abby couldn’t believe how this woman could pull herself together enough to act like she was still some air head under Romano’s control. Amber giggled and then started to kiss Romano passionately and Abby began to worry that something was very wrong, it didn’t seem to her that Amber was the least bit disgusted. There was no look in her eyes that confirmed it, or even subtle body language she was acting just as she had in the days before. She wondered if Romano had decided to give her some other drug, or something happened…what she didn’t think about was the possibility that Amber was actually falling in love with Romano.

“Abby I’m going to go into work for a few hours…have lunch ready when I get home.” Carter announced before getting up and leaving the room. His head had been pounding on and off for the past few days but luckily he wasn’t able to draw the connection with the replaced needles, her just thought that he needed more pain killers for it to work.

“Amber…” Romano pulled away from the kiss for just a moment, “I need to go pick up your birthday present but I’ll be home within the hour.” He smiled at her and she smiled back a little excited to find out what he had gotten her, or was going to get her. She got off of his lap and heard Abby mutter something to herself before she cleared her and Carter’s plate and headed into the kitchen. Amber waited till Romano had left before walking into the kitchen to help her clean up.

“Amber, did he drug you again?” Abby asked her after she carelessly dropped the dishes into the sink, she thought that she was going to lose her mind if the whole drugging thing started up again. Amber smiled at her and picked up and apple and bit into it.

“No, you told me to act like an idiot so that’s what I’m doing.” She replied and then took another bite of the apple and started to chew it loudly.

“You looked like you were actually enjoying your time with him…” Abby picked up a towel and dried off her hands and then set it down on the counter, “You don’t actually like him do you?” Amber took another bite of the apple and though about it, she didn’t know if she should answer the question truthfully or if she should lie.

“No…yes…maybe just a little…” She offered a weak smile in Abby’s direction, which caused the poor nurse to finally go over the edge.

“WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? HUH?” She stepped up getting into Amber’s face even though she was considerably shorter then her, “YOU KNOW WHAT HE DID TO YOU! And you KNOW what he made you do to KERRY…how the HELL can you stand there and…” She clenched her fists and growled slightly before actually throwing a punch at Amber’s face. Amber’s hand darted up and caught the fist before it made contact and she held onto it tightly.

“You need to get laid…I think you’re the only one in this place who hasn’t had sex with Carter or Romano in…god…who knows how long.” Amber continued to hold her fist and she took another bite of her apple.

“What the hell are you getting at?” Abby whispered harshly…Amber stood there for a moment chewing on her apple, finally she swallowed and set it down and pulled Abby into one hell of a hungry kiss. At first she tried to pull away, but a few moments later she felt herself kissing back, she didn’t know why or even how it was turning her on but it was. She finally pulled away from Amber, her face completely red and she stepped over to the sink and started to do the dishes in silence.

“You liked that didn’t you?” Amber purred into her ear as she stepped up behind her, Abby clenched her teeth but she remained silent, she didn’t want to admit to Amber or even herself that she enjoyed that. Amber leaned in and started to kiss at Abby’s neck gently before sliding her hand into the front of Abby’s jeans and into her panties. Abby gasped slightly but she didn’t make any attempt to pull away from the other woman’s touch. Amber smiled and then went back to kissing her neck, she slipped a finger into Abby’s hot little body and started to move it in and out expertly, it was clear that she knew what she was doing. Abby groaned slightly and sine Amber was behind her it wasn’t hard for her to pretend that it was some one else doing this to her, she decided to pretend like it was Carter, back in the days before he had become a complete asshole. Amber added another one of her skilled fingers and moved them in and out a little faster causing Abby to moan even louder. She started to grind her hips down to drive Amber’s fingers deeper into her, she was loving every second of it. Amber continued for a while moving her hand at various speeds keeping Abby on the brink of an orgasm for almost forty five minutes before Abby couldn’t take it any more.

“Amber stop it…let me cum…”

“Beg for it Abby…” Amber whispered into her ear before she started to nibble at Abby’s ear lobe, Abby moaned loudly and started to grind her hips down but no matter what she did she wasn’t able to bring herself to an orgasm.

“Fine…Amber please let me cum…” She begged and Amber smiled from behind her. She then added yet another finger and let her palm press firmly against Abby’s clit, which almost instantly brought the woman to a screaming orgasm, she was thrusting her hips and her knees started to buckle but Amber supported her to keep her standing. Abby’s hands clutched at the kitchen counter as she screamed and orgasmed not once but four different times. She never thought that she would ever be brought to orgasm by another woman, but on the other hand that was probably the best orgasm or series of orgasms she had ever had. Finally Amber moved away from her and started to suck on her fingers, Abby took in a deep breath and turned to look at her, she felt like a whole bunch of tension had just been lifted from her. Amber brought the fingers out of her mouth once more and pulled Abby into a gently kiss running her fingers through the smaller woman’s soft hair. Abby kissed back and then pulled Amber into a hug and started to cry, she didn’t know why she was crying but it had been the first time since she had got there that she had cried…but this time she was actually in the arms of some one she felt safe with.
