2 YEARS LATER
MAX
She hummed under her breath as she combed out her white blonde hair after coming out of the ocean. Knowing she looked perfect in a purple and pink striped string bikini, her yoga toned body lithe and strong and her blonde hair falling down her back. Those college boys, she thought, I really need someone to make me come like I used to…I could catch and train one. Freezing at that thought, she gritted her teeth. I'm not like that. I just have weird sex things now. Normal can't satisfy me. It doesn't matter, I'm safe here. Nestled away in Culebra, a place where people like me can vanish, where no one questions a sweet looking woman like me. Where money makes things vanish. Just let it be, Max.
"Lexi."
She slicked her hair back in a ponytail. "You're out early."
"I worry about you swimming alone," Grant said. "Being all alone."
She slipped her sunglasses on. "I like it."
"Come get breakfast with me."
A drug dealer, Max thought, vanished on this island, a new start, anonymous and alone, like me. "I ate before my swim."
"Then come smoke weed with me."
Better than the pills, Max thought, takes the edge off…he's never touched me. Never even tried to. "Okay."
KENNY
"So naughty. So very naughty, Kenny."
I should have run, he thought, when those videos came out and I was released from jail. Max set up that account, I know she did, with the identification and instead…Sarah. I trusted her when she came for me. For our daughter…
"No one satisfied me like Peter," she admitted. "You're not taking your training seriously."
"I'm not like you."
"You're my whore now, Kenny," Sarah continued. "Don't think your precious Max is ever coming for you. She's exactly like me now."
MAX
"You do?" Max smiled, fiddling with her hair and sipping her drink.
He nodded. "Can I buy you another drink?"
A child, Max thought, all of 19, on Spring Break drooling over me in these cut-offs and halter top. I'd give him the ride of life…and I will. "Well, I haven't finished this one yet."
"You're fucking hot."
She cocked her head to the side, moving closer to him and grabbed his crotch gently and ran her thumb over it. "You like that?"
"Oh, God."
"That's a yes?"
"God, yes…"
She finished her drink. "You think you can handle me?"
He nodded as she slipped both hands in his waistband. "Uh."
"I'm not some silly coed," Max continued. "I want you to fuck me and fuck me hard. Oh, you're big…"
"Jesus Christ."
"Come along," Max smiled, squeezing his balls. "You won't regret it."
He nodded. "I have a room…"
Max kissed him deeply, her instincts kicking in. I want to come…Feel. "Show me."
KENNY
"Good boy," Sarah smiled, after riding him strapped to the bed after forcing the cocaine in him. "Very good boy."
Max, he thought, she…she did this. She liked this.
"You're going to be a Daddy again," Sarah continued. "Rest up, Sweetie, we have more training to do."
MAX
"You're a fucking goddess."
Max smiled through her hair at him. He is sweet, gorgeous…so cut and hard…and barely could handle missionary. "You should play with girls your own age."
"I think I love you."
Max straddled him, intertwining her fingers with his and pressing them back into the pillows. "I need to get home."
"Do I…uh, pay you?"
"You think I'm a hooker?" Max asked. "Do I look like a whore to you?"
"I thought…I mean…you're not? You wanted me?"
Max smiled at him. "I'm only with men I want. And I wanted you tonight…only you tonight."
"Can I see you again?"
She kissed him deeply again. "Don't you have to go back to school?"
"Not for a few days…I really want to do this again. Please?"
"With all the girls here you want me?"
"I don't want a girl. I want you."
It could be fun…he wasn't bad at sex, just not…he's very trainable…eager to learn. No, I won't…I'm not like Adam. He isn't my prisoner. If he wants to… "All right. I'll meet you back here tomorrow."
KENNY
Hands and feet bound the floor, the shock collar around his neck as his pregnant wife walked around him slowly. Unable to talk with the ball gag in his mouth, she giggled at him.
"Someone will like you," Sarah said. "Max may think she got them all, but there are a few of us left…wouldn't you like to perform with us, Kenny?"
He screamed against the ball gag, hating her.
"But not like this," Sarah sighed. "Much too clean cut for this life. So just relax and let them work."
MAX
"You know those college boys are going to compare everyone to you."
"Maybe I can teach them to satisfy a woman," Max deadpanned.
"They don't do it for you?" Grant asked, passing her the joint. "You look…satisfied."
"They're too gentle. I like it…rough," Max trailed off, taking a long drag. "They've seen too many movies. I'm not as sweet as I look."
"I know who you are, Lexi."
Max held his gaze. "You really don't. Like I don't know you. We show people what we want them to know."
"You know what you did with those videos was inspiring."
"What videos?" Max asked, passing it back to him forcing herself to stay calm.
"You got rid of some nasty people…Lexi," Grant said. "I supplied the clubs with pills, ones I'm guessing you enjoyed before…well you're a naughty girl, just not the way they thought."
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"You were one of the whores."
"Excuse me?"
"I left the game long ago, Lexi," he said, stressing her name. "I was a fall guy when some other whore tried to get out and here I am…and so are you. You were a cop, who became a whore…and somehow got away. Funny how your master was found, barely identifiable in that pool of chemicals."
"You've smoked too much," Max said. "You should get some rest."
"I'm not ratting you out. You're smart," Grant said. "Very sexy. Sexy Lexi?"
"You want to fuck me then?"
"You think like a whore," he said. "You're not one anymore and you proved it with what you did. No, I want you, Lexi. I won't ever force you like they did, but I want us to team up."
Max stared at him. "I just…I want to be alone. I want to be free. I like it here."
"Bedding college boys and swimming alone?"
"I don't…I don't want to be a criminal. I want to forget it all."
"Once you're like us, you can't forget."
"I don't want to use again. The pot is…the pot. I can't."
"Good, I want you clear headed," he said. "You think I'm a criminal?"
"Aren't you?"
He smiled at her. "Does it matter who we were before coming here? I don't care about your past, Lex, I won't touch you unless it's what you want."
"Then what do you want?"
"Well, Lexi," he said. "We have a common enemy."
"I don't have any enemies."
"They're are probably many people who would want you killed," he smiled. "But the information is out there, you did stop them. Most of them…but…"
"But?"
"Sarah Wilson. Her family gave me to the authorities," he said. "Like she gave you to them to save herself again. Interested…Lexi?"
Max held his gaze. I did it to save them…she set me up. She knew I would…I could have..breathe. "Isn't she missing?"
"As is her husband now," he said. "Your friend. He got out of jail due to th reasonable doubt…well, not just women can be whores."
Max gulped at that. No… "What?"
"What do you say we," he smiled. "Make her pay?"
KENNY
"So much better," Sarah said, running her hands over his heavily tattooed body and shaved head in the leather chaps and shirtless. "Don't you agree?"
"I hate you."
She smiled and patted his cheek. "Well, Honey, that is just too bad. I will train you to be who I want you to be. On your knees."
