I am Baaack! Part 1

The driver helped Joan in first, then Rose, who remembered she should adjust her skirt so as not to show too much thigh, but then deliberately didn't do it to give Adain a good show. Salielah and, finally, Adain followed. The door was closed and Rose found herself between Joan and Adain. Her mind was floating, and Ross was totally lost at sea; SHE felt safe and secure, sandwiched between them. She snuggled in close to Adain, and was drifting off to sleep as the driver's door slammed. But just before the limo started forward, she felt a prick in her left shoulder.

She looked over at Joan, who was putting away a hypodermic needle. Joan then changed places with Salielah so that she was in the jump seat facing Rose. Rose felt the effects of the alcohol leaving her mind. Within a few moments, she - no, he, because Ross had come back - knew he was stone cold sober, a boy in a dress snuggled against another man. He tried to move away, but found that he could only barely blink or move his fingertips. "Whatthehell!" Slurred, but in Ross's voice.

"Ah, ROSS." Joan emphasized his male name. Her whole demeanor had changed. No longer the friendly doctor, she now seemed to be sneering at him. "I see you are fully with us. Having some difficulty moving? We thought it best that you be chemically restrained while I informed you of the surprise that Lou and Ed and I have for you. Physical restraints are so nasty, and might leave marks. Your surprise wouldn't like that. Confused, dear?" At a gesture from her, Salielah reached out and slightly moved his head so he was looking at Adain, who was smiling a very predatory smile; the gentleman, apparently, was gone. "Haven't figured it out yet, sweets? Adain is your surprise. You, or rather Rose, belong to him now. Yes. Belong. I'm going to explain the reality facing you, Ross - and this is the last time you will hear anyone use that name in regard to you - and then you will have a nice rest. When Rose regains her senses, she will have to decide whether to do what must be done the easy or the hard way. But first, let me tell you a bit about me."
