Don't Steal From Demigods Chapter 6: New Friend

Lex groaned. The previous night had gotten a bit fuzzy after a while. He had gotten he boar talking about where less-than legally acquired slaves would probably be taken. A somewhat well known and seedy breeding house that he said wasn’t too picky about where it got its breeders from. Lex was instantly awake remembering what could be happening to his wife right at this very moment. He tried to sit up but felt a weight on his chest. Looking down he let out another groan.

The naked snow leopard lay loosely across him, sleeping on his chest. He tried to focus, to remember all of last night but things were still blurry. He remembered the blowjob. He remembered getting really drunk while questioning the boar, partially to stay in character and partially out of guilt from the blowjob itself. He didn’t quite remember the sex, but the scent of him and this girl on each other was plenty clear.

“I’m sorry” he said out loud as a new wave of self-hate started to rise. He was both apologizing to his wife for cheating and to this girl for contributing to her abuse. He wasn’t sure how young she was, not a child per se, but still young, and being used by her owner to please strangers on a whim after becoming a slave via kidnapping sounded like a special hell.

Lex slowly rolled the girl off him and got up trying to find his clothes to make a hasty exit before he would have to talk to anyone, especially that boar, again.

“Morning, sir.” He heard from behind him, making him freeze. ‘ahh crap’ He thought to himself. The girl had woken up. He was not looking forward to this conversation.

“Uh morning” he replied, looking back at the snow leopard, “ look.. I… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to take advantage of you. I... I got drunk, and I was playing a part to get info.” he stammered a bit, “Anyways I’m sorry”

“It’s ok. You were gentler than…. “She shivered a bit, “gentler than my master is, even if you called me a slut at the bar.”

“no no no” Lex fell to his knees next to the bed to be closer to eye level with her, “You’re not a slut. That was just, uh, that was me playing the part I needed to play. Please believe me I wasn’t serious in calling you that.”

The girl stared at him for a long moment looking like she was trying to stare through him before responding, “Holy crap you’re serious? why then? Why the act, what are you doing, really?”

Lex let out a sigh and sat back against his feet, “My wife was kidnapped by slavers, I’ve been looking for her, I needed info” He pulls out a notepad he’d been writing on last night, “Best lead that boar gave me was this ‘AA Stables’ but he didn’t give directions and I don’t really want to…”

“I know where that is” She chimed in before he finished voicing his distain for the boar, “I saw it when. When I was brought here. They took lots of girls into that place”

Lex’s ears perked up, first good news he’d heard in a while, “Can you tell me where it is.”

“I can show you. If you take me with you. Master is a heavy sleeper, he won’t notice for a while”

Lex grinned, “I’d be glad to take you with me. let me get dressed, maybe we an find you come clothes too and we can get going”

“Ya that…” She paused, “No. no. A nude slave will attract less attention than a clothed one, just what’s common here. I’ll just stay like this for now. At least till we find your wife and get out of here.” She climbed out of the bed and stood up. Lex had to admit that she was quite beautiful and caught him self staring a bit longer than he intended to.

After catching himself, blushing, and turning away to finish dressing himself he finally thought to ask, “w-well if that’s what you think is best ok then. So what’s your name?”

“Mary. How about you?”

“Lex”

The pair hurried down the street, Mary following by his side and slightly behind him while quietly whispering directions. She seemed to know the city pretty well, a fact that make Lex wonder how long she’d been a slave. With her guiding him it didn’t take to long to find the place, this breeding house called SS stables.

From the outside it just looked like a large stone building. Big heavy door with a chain lock and otherwise fairly nondescript. Out side the building there was a stage set up with manacles attached to the back wall. Lex recognized it instantly as a slave auction stage. The children born in the breeding house would be brought out here once they were old enough and sold off to the highest bidder.

Lex barely contained his anger, and he might not have if an auction was going on right now, but luckily the stage was empty.

“ok this is probably the place. Breeders that don’t ask to many questions about where their girls come from.” Mary said, “Ok I have to go. If master wakes up and I’m gone he’ll punish me”

“No” Lex said simply.

“What? Of course, he will” Mary protested, “He’s done. things. before when I misbehaved. he’ll do more if I …”

“No he wont because you aren’t going back. I’m going to take you with me” Lex said looking at the surprised snow leopard.

“S-seriously?” Mary stammered, “I mean I’d prefer to have you as a master than him but stealing me could get you in trouble and I don’t think master would sell”

“I won’t be your master” Lex replied, “Once we get home I’ll remove that collar and you’ll be free.”

Mary looked up at him for a long moment just trying to process what he was saying on not quite believing it, “You’re nuts. but…. but ok. here’s hoping this works. If it doesn’t we’ll both be whipped for hours then sold to the dirtiest brothel master can find, but here’s hoping at least”
