Chapter 14

Two men stood in the middle of the room. Jamie heard their voices but the lighting was dim. One of them was Dante. He realized that he had walked right into the trap Jim tried to warn him against. He wondered if he’d ever see his friends again.

His hair was undone. Jamie didn’t remember taking out the band he used that kept it back. The man he knew as Dante came over and knelt beside him, running his fingers through Jamie’s straight black strands. “I know you’re awake, boy.” He turned to the other and said, “Sergei, when we go back to Thailand, I might keep this one for myself. He’s beautiful and can take a beating. I wonder how well he fucks? How tight are you, baby? I’m a big man but I bet you can take me.”

Dante grabbed his crotch. Jamie looked at him in alarm. He was huge under the jeans and hard. He wondered if Dante was going to rape him. I’ll cooperate. Resistance will only get me killed.
