Chapter 56 – What Is Your Life Worth?
The bedroom was filled with light when Octavio opened his eyes. He looked down to find Ajay's face and hands buried in his chest. He gently ran his fingers through her hair. Ajay stirred a bit and rubbed her cheek into his skin. She opened her eyes although it was somewhat painful from all the crying. She kissed his chest, "Sorry Silva." She pulled her face back to look into his eyes. "No need for apologies Che. You're going through some shit right now. You should probably eat though. You didn't have anything to eat yesterday." She shook her head as she ran her fingers along his arm. He leaned down and kissed the top of head. "We need to talk about everything and what we are going to." She swallowed hard and nodded.
Ajay kissed his chest and sat up pushing the covers away from herself. He reached over and ran his fingers over her left breast before stopping to play with her nipple, "Che you might need to wear some clothes." She laughed as she lifted the rest of the covers to see his hard cock. She went to reach for his hard flesh but he grabbed her wrist and he sat up. He found her lips and kissed as he pushed her back down onto bed. He held her wrist against the bed right above her head. Ajay moaned as Octavio sucked on her left breast and then her right. "Silva..." He smiled as his free hand moved down to pussy, parting her slit with his finger. He slid his fingers inside her, "Mrs. Silva you are very wet." She pushed her hips against him, "Ya always act surprised Silva." He leaned down and spoke just above her lips, "Not surprised Che. Just happy."
Octavio rubbed his thumb along her clit as she moaned against his lips. Her free hand found his shoulder, digging her nails into his skin. Ajay wrapped a leg around his waist trying to pull him closer, "Silva, please..." His lips were still above hers, teasing her, "Please what?" She groaned, "I need you inside of me." He pulled his fingers from her pussy and rubbed them along her lips. Ajay opened her mouth and licked his fingers as his cock entered her. She sucked on his fingers and put her right leg over his shoulder. His fingers found the back of her throat before he pulled them out of her mouth to give her ass a hard smack. Octavio leaned down and kissed her hard as he moved his cock in and out of her. She dug her nails into his chest and moaned into his mouth. "Silva, fuck me from behind." Octavio smiled and used his tongue to play with hers.
Ajay moaned and arched her back a bit as he withdrew himself from her. Ajay stood up on her knees with her back to him. Octavio kissed her right shoulder as he pushed his cock back into her. She moaned as her fingers played with the underside with his cock as it went in and out of her. Octavio's right hand squeezed her right breast. He used his left hand to pull her head back by her hair. She leaned her head into his hand and kissed his neck. She moaned against his neck as she forced her pussy down on him, "Harder Silva." He shuddered at her words and pulled her hair hard pushing his cock into her pussy harder and faster, "Do you like touching my cock as it goes in and out of your pussy?" His voice was low against her ear.
She nearly screamed to him as her fingertips ran along his cock, "Yah Silva. Ya feel so good." She reached behind her and grabbed his thigh with her free hand, "Silva. Ya feel so good." She said breathlessly trying to put together sentences. Octavio kissed her neck and whispered into her ear, "Are you close Che?" He tilted her head as he bit along her neck. "Yah..." It was all she could manage to get out. He smiled and licked her neck before he whispered into her ear again, "You should cum Mrs. Silva." He paused and forced himself into her as hard as he could, "Cum all over my cock." His words were enough. She screamed as she began to orgasm. Octavio could feel her pussy grow tight around his cock. He forced himself into her a few more times before exploding deep inside of her.
Octavio squeezed her breast hard and released her hair. His hand dropped down to her clit, rubbing her gently. Ajay leaned back into him and she began to breath hard again, "Silva." He removed his hand from her breast and wrapped it around her waist to steady her, "What's wrong Che?" He rubbed her hard. He smiled as he could feel her pussy getting tight around his cock again. "I am going to cum again..." He gently pushed her semi hard cock in and out of her, "That's the plan." She bit her lower lip and moaned his name loudly. He held her tight until she came down and collapsed into him. He shifted her body, cradling her in his arms as he sat down. He held her cheek as he kissed her. She was almost in a daze as she kissed him. Her fingertips traced his face as he held her for a moment. "I love you Silva." Octavio played with her hair, "I love you Che."
He placed her gently against the bed and kissed her forehead. She sighed happily and closed her eyes as he walked into the bathroom. She sat up as she heard water of the shower. She stretched as she stood up from the bed. Ajay opened her dresser drawer to pull out a bra and panties. Her white mask was sitting on top of all of her bras and panties. Her hand shook as she picked up the mask and held it. She set it on top of the dresser as she slid on her panties and bra, clasping it in place. She closed the drawer and stared at the mask again.
She picked up the mask and stepped over to a mirror in the corner of the room. She raised the mask up and held it in front of her face. She watched herself in the mirror. She simply just looked like herself. "What da fuck Ajay. Get ya shit together." She whispered to herself. She took a deep breath and put the mask on. The mask engulfed her face but it felt good. She felt strong and powerful like she did when she wore it in the arena. Thoughts vividly flashed across mind and they felt like reality as she looked in the mirror. Her breathing became more shallow and rapid as reality changed around her.
She stood in her Judge Jury Executioner outfit. Her right arm was burnt with smoke and ash rising from it. There was a red glow from the eyes of her mask. The same eerie voice echoed through her body. "Join me in the shadows." She shook her head. "Ya just in my head." She whispered. "Am I little girl?" Her mouth was dry as she nodded, "Yah." She stood there stiff, tense, and almost paralyze again. "Go on. It's okay to be afraid." She clenched her fists. "I ain't afraid of ya." She felt chills along her spine. "That little voice saying there's still hope? It's lying." The voice was mocking her. Ajay's skin began to crawl as she ripped the mask off and threw it on the floor. She put on some black leggings, black shorts, a black tank top, a black and green hoodie, and her favorite boots.
Ajay was surprised to find breakfast waiting for her in the kitchen. Mila smiled when she saw Ajay. "Come sit." Mila was at the table with a plate waiting for Ajay. "It's still warm." Ajay sat down next to Mila and took a few bites of the eggs that were on her plate. Mila watched her for a moment. "Are you okay?" Ajay stopped eating and gave her a confused looked, "Yah, why wouldn't I be?" Mila thought carefully before she answered, "You have just been through a lot." Ajay shrugged and sat there for a moment. "Thanks for breakfast Mila." Octavio joined them at the table. Mila nodded, "Ajay I think we need to talk about everything." Ajay looked at her, "Like what?" Mila offered Ajay her hand and Ajay took it, "Like everything."
Ajay felt Mila's warmth and concern wash over her. It was like an instant connection when they touched. Ajay thought it may have had something to do with the neurolink and jump they took but she didn't know if Mila felt it too. "Okay Mila." Octavio looked a little surprised because he knew that Ajay could be a bit stubborn and guarded about her thoughts. Mila looked at Octavio, nodding to him to start the conversation. "Go ahead Octavio."
He moved his plate over, "Che. We think The Syndicate is trying to recruit you. Right now they are grooming you to start killing for them." He took her other hand into his. "I really don't know how else to put it other than that." Ajay sat silent for a long time. "I don really know what ta do." Octavio rubbed her hand, "Well if you keep competing in the games there is a good chance that they are watching you or even communicating with you." Ajay pulled her hands away from both of them, "I can't stop competing." Octavio sighed, "Che, I will stand by you not matter what but I don't... I can't lose you." Ajay looked at Mila, "Is there more?" Mila set her hands into her lap, "More what?" Ajay stared at her, "More people that The Syndicate have stolen and locked up?"
Mila hesitated for a moment, "I... I... I don't know. I mean if they did it to me I am sure that there are more." Ajay nodded and looked at Octavio, "Silva, what if The Syndicate has Elliot's brothers? Or Anita's brother?" Octavio really didn't know much about Elliot's life or family or Anita's brother, "What do you mean Che?" She sighed, "Elliot's brother mysteriously went missin when Elliot was trialin Holo-Pilot technology and then suddenly his he has an invite ta the games. I just find it hard ta believe. What if Anita's brother was killed or taken because of The Syndicate. All the testin on Renee..." She felt sad when she thought about Renee and the video of her past that she had witnessed."
Mila looked pale as Ajay spoke. "You have a very valid point Ajay. I just don't know who would validate what you are saying." Ajay looked down at the table. "Through me. It has to be me. I'll have ta play their game and not get caught. If I don do this I'll put all of ya at risk, especially ya Mila. I can't live with myself if any of ya get hurt or if Mila and her brother get caught. I just can't." Ajay sighed. She already felt emotionally drained again.
Mila was almost in tears, "Ajay, they will kill you and resurrect you to kill for them again and again. My life is not worth that." Hyeon Kim walked in as Ajay hugged Mila, "Nah Mila. Ya forever family. Ya worth it. So is everyone here and anyone that was taken or killed by them. I want to save and protect anyone I can. I just gotta figure this out." Mila leaned into Ajay embracing her tightly, "You're like a guardian angel Ajay."
