Losing Control

Chapter 26

Thump thump...Thump thump...Thump thump...

That was the only sound Takuya could hear as the minutes ticked by painstakingly slow. The sound of his own heartbeat, which had grown gradually steadier and paced. His veins felt warm with the chemicals flowing through them, rapidly taking over his system. He craned his neck a bit, glancing over at the others in the confined room with him. Everyone else looked similar to him, their eyes darkened ominously.

Genji's hands clenched and unclenched, his knuckles turning white each time his grip tightened on his metal spike. He let out a deep breath, adreneline pumping through his body. The white-haired man was itching to use the cold, bloodstained item in his hand. He felt his body heat up with rage as he made eye contact with Takuya. The brunette was glowering at him with sheer hatred, and from what he could could see, Takuya was shaking slightly.

Genji smirked and flashed Zoe a glance, then licked his lips teasingly at Takuya, indicating that he wanted to do something to her. The taunt caused Takuya to lunge at him, only to be restrained by his chain. However, unlike the last time he went to attack Genji, Zoe did not attempt to stop him. Instead, the blond was huddled up, her hands on her head as she stared at the floor.

Her heartbeat was faster than Takuya's, and she felt her nerves getting the better of her. She looked up for a moment, catching Genji's obscene facial expressions as he eyed her relentlessly. Zoe's green orbs narrowed, and she moved away from him even further. Her chain loosened enough to give her an additional six inches of slack, but nothing more.

Hiroki let out a pent-up sigh, his body cool and clammy. His vision was somewhat dizzy and distorted, as if he had consumed several alcoholic beverages. He blinked a few times to clear it up, aware that is eyes were bloodshot. His gaze traveled down to the floor, where he saw the two pictures beside him. One with his wife and son and the other with Naomi, which he had torn in half earlier. Hiroki hissed inwardly as the woman's dreaded name rang through his mind yet again. He hated it. Despised it. Loathed it with every fiber of his being. He wished he could just erase her name and image from his increasingly disillusioned mind. With a snort of contempt, he spit directly onto half of the photograph of Naomi, wishing she would disappear from his memory.

Kouji looked the most serene out of the group, though he wasn't faring much better than the rest. A peaceful smile was plastered on his face, and his finger was moving around in circles over Kouich's pool of blood. He then smoothed the coagulating puddle, only to write his deceased brother's name in it.

"How are you doing, Kouichi?" he asked numbly, his grin growing a bit wider. "Any better than me?"

For once, Takuya and Zoe didn't say anything to his disturbing behavior, as they were too wrapped up in their own nightmares. Unlike the other three prisoners, they had been given three serums instead of just two. Dealing with all of the effects at once was mind-blowing, and made them feel disoriented in a strangely pleasant way.

The brunette's eyes locked with the blond's and for several seconds, their gazes remained glued to each other. Zoe's bloodstained halter top clung to her body more than ever, the curves of her breasts prominent under the thin silk.

Thump thump..thump thump..thump thump..

Takuya's heartbeat quickened once again, and he looked her up and down lustfully, aware of the chemical he had been familiar with earlier. The arousal pumped through his body, at a higher potency than it had been hours ago. He wet his lips a bit, feeling his desire grow with each passing moment.

It's starting up again, he thought to himself as he tightened his hands into fists. Fuck... Last time I managed to stop. But this time...I don't know if I'll be able to control myself.

Takuya tore his gaze away from her, his face growing increasingly hot. He took a deep breath and averted his attention to Genji, immediately switching out of his lustful daze. Instead, his expression filled with unadulterated loathing as he glowered at the white-haired man. For once, Genji wasn't glaring back at him. He was toying with the spike once again, his concentration elsewhere.

I wonder... Genji glanced carelessly at Kouji, noticing how the raven-haired man was entranced by the puddle of blood. How fast can I drive him into madness if I hit him right where it hurts? I know how to do it...I just wonder how long it'll take for him to crack and beg me to kill him. Ten minutes? Twenty minutes? An hour? Then again...

He flashed his eyes over to Hiroki, noticing how the man was trembling. Hiroki was clutching the photograph of his family to his chest, having it in a deathlock. His blue orbs were wild, and he seemed to be murmuring to himself.

I could easily make Hiroki be the next one who goes completely berserk, Genji speculated with keen interest. It wouldn't be hard at all. In fact, it would be just as easy, if not easier, to send him over the edge than it would be to make Minamoto.

He decided to ignore Takuya and Zoe for the time being, deciding to save the best for last. However, he took a moment to study the couple carefully, watching their movements. Takuya was scowling hatefully at him, causing Genji to chuckle lightly. Zoe was still staring at the floor, her blood-covered hands leaving a few crimson streaks in her hair as she clutched onto her head.

It's happening again, she panicked. It's happening to me all over again and it feels ten times worse now than it did the first time.

Her nipples were hard, much to her dismay and she soon found herself gazing longingly at the brunette beside her. Zoe noticed several beads of persperation on his body, dampening his red t-shirt. Unaware of her stares, Takuya stripped off his black button-up, casting it aside on an area on the floor that was free of blood. His brow was glistening and he wiped the back of his hand against it with a sigh.

Finally tearing his gaze away from Genji, Takuya averted his eyes back to Zoe, surprised to find her staring at him. He swallowed, feeling his heart quicken even further.

Thump thump. Thump thump. Thump thump.

"Are you okay?" he asked her, trying to cover up his own nervousness.

"Um..." Zoe's voice trailed off and she moved closer to him, not even realizing what she was doing.

Takuya felt his face heat up further and noticed the tiny peaks through the blond's halter top. He immediately went hard, mentally cursing himself as he did.

Get a fucking grip on yourself! It's Zoe, for fuck's sake, he inwardly scolded.

But that was the problem. He had never admitted it to anyone, but he had always felt himself attracted to Zoe. However, instead of pursuing her and risk being shot down, he had decided to date Miharu.

Right now, Miharu has nothing on Zoe. Takuya looked her body up and down, his eyes scanning over her bloodstained clothing. Why is this happening again? Why the fuck did Junichi have to inject me with this lust shit? I don't want to end up raping her like I tried to last time.

"Takuya..." Zoe's voice brought him back to reality.

"Oh, um...yeah?" He swallowed again.

Yet the woman seemed at a loss for words, and she looked unsure of herself. Takuya stared at her soft, pink lips, wishing that he could brush them up against his. His erection throbbed, making a visible bulge in his pants. Zoe blushed upon seeing his hard-on, and before she realized it, her hand had found itself over to it.

Takuya froze in his spot, his chocolate eyes wide with surprise. He shuddered as Zoe rubbed her finger against the khaki-covered member, and he felt a surge of adreneline rush through his body. Zoe quickly yanked her hand away, looking away from him shamefully.

"I...I'm sorry," she murmured. "I don't know what came over me and-"

Zoe's words were cut off as Takuya suddenly crushed his lips against hers. She moaned quietly and closed her eyes, returning his kiss with her own. Her arms encircled his neck and Takuya's wrapped around her waist, holding her close. Their kiss deepened, and the brunette began to snake his tongue into Zoe's mouth. The blond welcomed the gesture, her body pressed up against his. She nibbled on his lower lip, then ran her own tongue over his.

Takuya leaned forward, pushing Zoe onto her back as he reached around to the back of her neck, below her metal collar. His fingers skillfully unclasped her halter top, allowing him to pull the silky article of clothing down to expose her bra. The white lace was stained with blood from earlier, and some of the scarlett streaks were painted on her twin mounds. Takuya gave Zoe another kiss on her lips, savoring the sweet taste of them. He was now on top of her, his pulsating manhood poking into her.

Genji watched as Takuya moved his lips down to Zoe's neck, nipping at the skin around where her collar was. His whitish-blue eyes narrowed and his grip on the spike tightened even further. The metal turned warmer in his hand, and the dried bits of blood on it began to soften from the heat. Genji could easily see Zoe's bra-clad chest, the bottom of her top rumpled up to show off her flat stomach. He smirked at the thought of running the tip of the spike over the creamy skin, leaving a bright red line of blood. He imagined the sharp point being dragged over the area over and over again, envisioning her screams of pain as he held her down.

The white-haired man stifled a sadistic laugh, picturing himself torturing her. His own member began to throb with excitement at the thought. I'll have to rape her either beforehand or during the act itself. And I'll make sure Kanbara is forced to watch as it I do it.

His veins were rather visible beneath his skin, pumping him with the chemicals in his body. As the seconds passed, his urge for bloodlust increased even more, getting to the point where his irises changed slightly in color, leaving an amber ring around the edges. Genji's grin grew wider and his expression seemed more crazed as he observed the couple.

"Mmm..." Zoe wrapped her legs around Takuya's waist as he began to fondle her breasts.

She kissed his cheek, her lips traveling down to his jawline affectionately. Takuya smirked and pressed his lips against hers once again, slipping two fingers beneath one of the bra cups. He caressed the well-endowed mound, his fingers lightly brushing up against it. Zoe shuddered and writhed, letting out another aroused moan. Her nipples grew even harder as she felt Takuya's index finger trace over one of them.

Zoe found herself reaching in between the two of them, her fingers finding their way to the button on Takuya's pants. She undid them, gently pulling the zipper down a moment later. The blond then slipped her hand inside, greedily taking hold of his hard cock. Her thumb ran over the boxer-clad organ, causing friction right at the very tip.

Takuya groaned quietly, relishing the sensation. He roughly yanked her halter top up, removing it from her body. It was caught on the chain, but Takuya pushed it aside to keep it out of the way. He then slid his hands under her, unclipping Zoe's bra and casting that aside as well.

Now naked from the waist up, Zoe sighed softly as Takuya took one of her breasts in his hands, groping it gently. She felt him unbuttoning her jeans, his finger tracing the edge of her white lace panties. With a half-smile, she stopped rubbing his cock and instead shifted herself.

"What's wrong?" Takuya inquired, confused and upset that she had stopped.

"Nothing," she replied nonchalantly, then went to pull off his t-shirt.

Zoe ran her hands down his muscled torso, feeling his smooth, tanned skin. She leaned up and nipped at his neck, pushing his collar up a bit as she did so. Takuya slipped his hand beneath her head, his fingers entwining with her silky hair. He felt his cock twitch, just waiting to be touched. Impatient, he grabbed hold of Zoe's wrist and led her back to the excited area. Zoe had other plans, though, as she tugged his khaki pants down, along with his boxers to expose him completely. Takuya began to pull her jeans down as well, and before they knew it, they were both completely naked.

Kouji glanced over, dumbfounded to see two of his best friends nude and clinging onto each other. However, his startled expression turned into a sly grin.

"Told you they were gonna hook up, Kouichi," he quietly said aloud.

I believe that I was the one who told you that they were gonna hook up.

The bandana-wearing twin jolted, his good sapphire eye opening wide as he looked around. Wait a minute, he thought with confusion. Was that just…? Did I hear….? No, it couldn't have been…could it?

He shook his head, rubbing his temples as he did. "It's just in my head…"

Is it just in your head, Kouji?

"What the fuck?" Kouji stayed frozen in his spot, hearing his own heart pounding steadily.

To his puzzlement, the voice he was hearing belonged to none other than Kouichi. But it couldn't have been Kouichi. Sure, Kouji had acted like his brother was still somewhat alive by whispering a few comments, but he hadn't heard any replies back. Until now, at least.

But it can't be him, Kouji thought. He's dead…I watched him die right in front of me.

Yeah, but you drank some of my blood, didn't you? Kouichi's voice rang in his head. Since you did, part of me now lives within you.

Kouji gaped in bewilderment, unsure if anything he was hearing was true. However, he knew that he had tasted his brother's blood in a delusioned state, trying to convince himself that part of Kouichi would live within him if he did so. And now he was beginning to hear Kouichi's voice. He couldn't deny that what he had done made sense as to why he was hearing it.

The raven-haired man chuckled softly, a bemused half-smile plastered on his face. I'm getting crazier by the minute. But I don't think that's such a bad thing anymore…

From across the room, Takuya and Zoe were lost in their own world of ecstasy, blocking out everything else that was going on around them. They were panting heavily as their bodies heated up, and Takuya moved his face down to Zoe's chest, right where her breasts were. He lapped at one of her stiff nipples lustfully, enjoying how she squirmed under him.

"Mmm…" The blond closed her eyes, grabbing onto Takuya's broad shoulders as he continued to assault the small peak.

She whimpered softly as his teeth dug in slightly, but he raised his head and silenced her with a kiss. Takuya slipped a hand between her legs, feeling her warm moisture immediately. Zoe tensed upon feeling his touch, yet it was more from excitement rather than anxiety. The brunette inserted a single finger inside her, slowly bringing it in and out. Zoe, in turn, reached down and took his cock into her grasp once again, this time sqeezing it hard. A few beads of pre-cum leaked out onto his tip, dripping down towards his shaft.

Takuya snaked his tongue into Zoe's mouth again, bucking slightly in her grip as she began to coat his entire member with the clear fluid. He slid his finger back and forth a few more times, before finally extracting it to lick away the sweet juices it had been stained with. Wanting more, he gently moved down Zoe's body, causing her to release his manhood. The blond lifted her head just in time to see Takuya bury his face between her legs. She moaned softly upon feeling his tongue at her core, lapping away more of her sweetness.

The brunette licked her soaked mound, savoring the taste of her. He made sure to get every last drop of her juices, feeling as though it was a drug that was entrancing him. Zoe writhed, her breathing speeding up as his tongue and lips continued to assault her. She whimpered, opening her eyes wide as she felt a sudden rush of the chemical coursing through her. Her irises darkening, she suddenly sat up and pushed him away, causing Takuya to fall away from her and into a pool of blood.

Takuya lifted his head, his expression angry as he looked at her. "Zoe, what the hell-"

Yet before he could complete the sentence, Zoe was already upon him, her mouth completely covering his throbbing cock. Takuya's anger immediately dissipated as he felt her warm tongue pleasuring him. Zoe glanced at him, looking him in the eye as she took his balls into her hand, massaging them gently but firmly. She moved her head up and down, taking his entire length and sucking it to her liking.

"Fuck..." Takuya squirmed as he felt himself go down her throat.

Zoe kept it there for a moment, then resumed back to her up and down movements. She felt Takuya put his hands on her head, guiding it up and down to a quicker pace.

"Faster," he said gruffly, his tanned body covered in a layer of persperation.

The brunette seemed oblivious of the fact that his back and ass were coated with blood, not noticing how it stuck to him unpleasantly. Even if he had noticed, he was too wrapped up in his lust to care. Takuya twitched as Zoe ran her fingers lightly over his balls, teasing them- and him -even further. He growled softly, his expression darkening as he submitted to the effects of the serum even more. His grip on the woman tightened and he moved her head up and down even faster. Zoe willingly went along with it, wishing to taste his seed again.

However, Takuya had another idea in mind as he drew closer to climaxing. He forcefully pulled her head away from his cock, making her tilt her face up. A moment later, he brutally crushed his lips against hers, then shoved her away. Zoe fell onto the floor, landing in a puddle of blood with an audible thud. Like Takuya, she was now covered with a layer of the crimson fluid, yet she seemed unaware of it as well.

Breathing heavily, Takuya crawled over her and slipped himself in between her legs. He took a minute to ease himself in without hurting her, but as soon as he had entered her, he began to pound into her forcefully. Zoe cried out from the intensity, grabbing hold of Takuya's blood-coated shoulders. The brunette grinned and lowered his lips to hers to plant forceful kiss upon them. He supported himself with one arm, using his free hand to grope at one of Zoe's breasts. He left scarlett smudges on them, strangely enjoying the way they looked in contrast to her creamy skin.

Hiroki looked back down at Naomi's photograph, not satisfied by what he had just done to it. She's staring at me, he thought hatefully. The bitch won't stop fucking staring at me even with the picture ripped and a glob of spit on one half.

With a grunt, he reached over and grabbed hold of the despised, torn picture, scowling at the image before him. With his eyes narrowed, he tore the entire photograph up. He ripped it up over and over again, shredding it into tiny bits.

How do you like that, you slut? Hiroki tossed the pieces into a nearby puddle of blood, letting the crimson liquid distort and soak them. Now I'll never have to look at you again.

"Ripping up the old picture of your fuckmate?" Genji quipped.

"Don't call her that," Hiroki snarled. "She's not my fuckmate. She's nothing to me."

The white-haired man chuckled. "Well, not anymore at least. But keep in mind that you can't change the past, no matter how many times you wish you could."

"I know that," he shot back. "I know that I can't take back what I did. But ripping that up was something that I had to do. And I feel a little better now."

Genji sat back against the wall, his arms crossed over his chest. "You know, wouldn't it be something if your ex-fuckmate showed up to your house and told your wife what the two of you did? How you went behind her back and cheated on her?"

Hiroki turned a shade paler, the words sinking in like a blade. "That won't happen. There's no fucking way that she'll come to the house and tell Amaya what we did. No fucking way!"

"How do you know?" Genji challenged. "You don't know what she will or will not do."

"Shut up," he hissed. "I know that she won't go there and say anything."

"Really." The man before him raised an eyebrow incredulously. "Were you still banging her by the time you ended up as a lab rat for our favorite psychopath? Or did you break it off with her?"

Hiroki looked away shamefully, his defense dropping as guilt kicked in. "Well...I haven't screwed her in about two weeks...but I never officially called it off with her."

"Then don't be surprised if she comes to your house looking for you," Genji replied.

"She knows that I'm married, so she wouldn't just show up," he told him.

"True, but if she really likes you and wants to ruin your already fucked-up marriage, she might just tell your wife so that she'll leave you. And then maybe she'll take your son with her so that you'll never see either one of them again," the white-haired man remarked cruelly.

Hiroki felt tears in his eyes but he blinked them back. "Shut up! That's not going to happen! Naomi isn't going to show up to my house looking for me, and she definitely won't be telling Amaya about what we did. I don't think she'd stoop that low."

Genji shrugged carelessly. "If you say so..."

"I know what I'm talking about," Hiroki snapped, though it came out rather weak.

As much as he wanted to deny it, he couldn't ignore the fact that what Genji was saying made sense. Yet there was no way in hell that he would let the bastard know it. Nevertheless, he felt himself die a bit more on the inside as he gazed at the photograph of his family.

I'm sorry. A single tear dripped onto the picture. I'm so sorry for failing you... Both of you...

Hiroki glanced over at Takuya and Zoe, only for his eyes to widen with shock. Not only had they somehow made it closer to the middle of the room, but both of their bodies were covered in blood. The blood of the deceased. It stained their skin and hair, sticking to them sickeningly as they clung to each other. He was rather disturbed to see them rolling around in the crimson puddles.

Takuya rammed into Zoe, holding her down as he pounded his member into her. The blond stifled her soft cries by biting down onto Takuya's shoulder. She ran her hands up and down his blood-slicked back, then reached down to grab hold of his firm ass. The brunette quickened his pace, feeling his body pumped with adreneline. He grunted, then wrapped his hands around Zoe's throat, just above the collar. With his irises tinged with an ominous dark ring, his grip on her tightened as he rammed into her as hard as he could.

Thump thump thump thump thump thump...

Takuya could only hear the sound of his heartbeat, along with a few other noises in his otherwise preoccupied mind. He could hear the sound of his cock penetrating the blond over and over again. He could hear the barely audible sound of blood dripping off his naked, sweaty body. He could hear the sound of Zoe's struggled pants, her air supply drastically cut off as he kept his grasp on her throat. He couldn't help but feel invigorated by choked gasps and crushed his lips down onto hers. Zoe's nails ran up and down his biceps, leaving ribbons of blood as they gouged into his skin. Her emerald eyes were closed in ecstasy, and although she could barely breathe, she showed no signs of stopping Takuya as her heart pounded in her chest, almost in sync with the brunette's.

Kouji couldn't help but gaze at the pair, his mind temporarily steered away from the thoughts of his brother. He swallowed a lump in his throat as Takuya continued to squeeze Zoe's throat. Takuya's going to kill her if he's not careful, he thought to himself. The raven-haired man opened his mouth to say something, but found that he couldn't utter a single word.

However, Hiroki seemed to notice the same thing, for he spoke up. "Takuya, be careful with her. You wouldn't want anything bad to happen."

Yet those words fell deaf upon Takuya's ears and he kept up his pelvic thrusts, pounding into her forcefully. He sounded animalistic as he grunted, drawing closer to climaxing. The pain he felt in his clawed arms excited him, and he slipped his tongue into Zoe's mouth, choking her further as he completley lost control. His balls smacked into her, and Zoe arched her back slightly beneath him, gradually succumbing to her air loss.

Genji observed them with a smirk, his eyes scanning the couple. At this rate, I won't need to kill Zoe. Takuya might take care of that on his own accord without even realizing it. And if he does, it won't take any effort whatsoever to drive him over the edge. Let's just see what happens...

Takuya grimaced, feeling his manhood twitching as he reached his peak. He released his grip on her throat and instead took her into his arms, holding her tightly against his chest. Zoe cried out, wrapping her arms around his neck as she buried her face in his shoulder. Closing his eyes, Takuya exploded inside her just as Zoe climaxed as well. His white, creamy fluid mixed in with her hot juices, combining deep within her core. He spurted several times, feeling as though he would never stop. Their entwined bodies stuck together from the blood, and for several moments, they felt as though they were one.

Genji rolled his eyes and scoffed. Looks like he didn't kill her. Oh, well. That just means I have one more person to mentally fuck with. It wouldn't be as much fun if I only had those three idiots to work with.

Panting loudly, Takuya collapsed on top of Zoe as he finally finished ejaculating. Zoe went limp as well, gasping for air as she clung onto him tightly. She felt hot, exhausted, and completely out of breath. Yet at the same time, she had never felt better.

Takuya slowly lifted his head and planted a soft kiss on her cheek, a dazed smile on his face. Like Zoe, he had never felt such an amazing sensation in his entire life. At that moment, nothing else mattered. He didn't care about the unpleasant stickiness of the blood. He didn't care that three people had just witnessed them having sex. He didn't even care that he had a girlfriend. All he cared about was Zoe. With a sigh, he buried his face in her silky hair, inhaling the sweet scent of it.

Zoe moaned, her eyes still closed as she gradually caught her breath. She felt so warm and protected in Takuya's arms, feeling as though nothing could hurt her. Not even Genji or Junichi.

Without realizing it, she murmured three words she had told herself that she would never aloud to Takuya.

"I love you..."

At that moment, both her and Takuya's eyes bolted open, and she felt her heart sinking. What have I done? She inwardly cursed. What the fuck have I done?

Well, how did you like THAT chapter? Hmmm? :3 Tell me, I'm dying to know! But anyway, that was the end of the chapter, and I hope you enjoyed it. Here are some questions to think about:

1. How will Takuya react to what Zoe said?

2. Who will be the next person to go nuts?

3. Will Genji ever stop being an asshole?

And the answers to those are:

1. You'll find out in the next chapter.

2. It's up in the air right now. Everyone has a 1/5 shot.

3. No, never.

The next chapter will be out soon, so keep a lookout for it.
