Kyle could feel that something wasn't right. Why? He didn't know. Instead, his flaming red hair got tossed and scrambled like noodles. Why would you stir noodles that way? Kyle didn't know.

Kyle couldn't breathe. It was as if a fifty thousand-pound elephant was sitting on his chest as he scrunched his eyes closed. It was dark, it stunk, he was in so much pain.

Where was she?

She promised they would go together. Yet here he was alone. Crawling through manure and pee to make it out. The look on her face blurred and distorted with time and trama. But Kyle could still make out the sorrow through the haze. The regret and longing to go with him. Yet, perhaps deep down Kyle knew that she couldn't. That her leaving him was for the best just like everyone else in his life.

Gasping out of the black fog of his nightmares Kyle shot off his red sweat-stained pillows. Leaving behind a wet blob in the place of his head. Kyle turned to a frowning Ren who's brows were also just as scrunched as his were. But where Kyle's was still soaked in anxiety and fear. Ren's was more of confusion and wonder. She was like a cat. And not just any old cat like a black cat. She wandered around alone hunting for a mouse to catch. To rip into with her claws.

Quickly to hide his disheveled mix of emotions Kyle smirked his classic playboy smile. "Well, looks like someone sure has fallen for me."

Ren rolled her eyes as she scoffed turning her head away. Kyle could tell she was going to leave. He didn't know why maybe it was because of some after-effect of his dreams. But he didn't want her to go. Gripping her wrists Kyle dragged her closer to him. "Where's my morning kiss sugar?" Kyle drawled in an attempt to distract her from his racing heart and the panicked horror hidden behind his amber eyes.

Ren rolled her eyes again. Kyle smirked for some reason he liked those dark brown eyes. So dark it nearly looked like two black holes. He'd seen many like hers before dark, brown, round. It shouldn't have pulled him in but it did. And he didn't know why.

"Aww come on. It's the least you could do after what happened last night." Kyle said wiggling his brows as if to indicate something did go down. As if he didn't just place her down in his room because he couldn't access her room. As if they instead had sex. Kyle wouldn't do that though, he couldn't not after what he experienced. But he could however make a sex tape about consensual sex, or a gang bang. Lork or whatever his name was sure did like it when he was being fucked by three guys at once. And at the time it was a turn-on. Hell, it still was. Kyle would be hard right now if not for the lingering sensations of sewage water that still clung to his skin like a second layer. Hard to get in the mood when all you feel is sticky and dirty. Not in the good way of course. Kyle would have shivered in hopes of shaking off the grips his nightmare still had on him.

On the other hand, Kyle's statement only seemed to enrage Ren more as she glared her cat eyes back at him. They were cute little cat eyes Kyle noted. They were almost almond but not quite, and as close as they were, 5 inches away. Kyle could see the different layers of her pupils and iris. It was fascinating like a vortex that just keeps going. Infinite, memorizing. One layer a darker shade than the other.

But Ren was done with whatever games Kyle wanted to play. She moved to leave but Kyle still had her hands in his arms. Now intertwining their fingers together. Pulling her back down. "Hey, hey. I'm just joking. We didn't do anything. I just placed you back in here. The floor was cold so I wasn't going to sleep on the ground. Plus the bed was big enough so I figured why not. Or maybe this is the first time you've slept with the man?" Kyle said suggestively again wiggling his eyebrows in a wave. A skill, not many could do.

Ren was still not pleased as she kept glaring back at him. " Ok. Ok, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to trigger an attack. I didn't even know it would trigger one. Do you want to tell me what happened?" Kyle said suddenly getting serious.

As Ren kept glaring.

"Great, did she do anything besides narrow her eyes at him?" Kyle wondered as he attempted to make her loosen those squinting eyes. Which he was shocked she could still do. Considering she had the classic small eyes all Asians did. Where you couldn't tell if they were glaring at you or simply looking at you. Kyle was pretty sure Ren was glaring at him though. Plus her eyes were a bit larger than the normal Asians. Which reminded him that there was this one Asian he hooked up with who did this one trick when he was inside her and god, that was an experience. A good one this time. A very good one.

"No." She stated ready to leave again as Kyle sighed pulling her down once more. Their hands still intertwined.

"Come on please?" Kyle begged as Ren's glare remained the same.

"Pretty please with a cream pie on top." Kyle said wiggling his brows once more.

Ren didn't change her stance.

Kyle sighed and as he was about to plead once more before a knock came to his door.

"Ky, I know you're in there! Open the goddamn door. You've got some never using my system for what you did yesterday. Do you have any idea how much trouble I could get in? Kyle open this fucking door now you pathetic damn man whore!!!" Kyle recognized that voice anywhere. It was Larissa. Talk about annoying much?

Sighing Kyle stood. Still, if he didn't reason with the damn Queen he would no doubt have to answer about yesterday. He did hack into the system using Lara's tech after all. And knowing Lara and her relationship with that boss of hers. If she helps smooth talk Kyle out of this with Avan, the head of the Researchers, Kyle might just get off with a slap on the wrist. Metaphorically of course. His hands were far too delicate for any injuries. Was it worth it? Hell yes.

"Hold up, I'm coming," Kyle said, rolling his eyes before turning back to an already ready to slip through his arms, Ren. Kyle frowned before smirking. Only opening a small crack to let Larissa see him. Kyle smiled his charming smile.

"Lara! Morning, I was just in the middle of a lay. What bring you-" Kyle began only to have Lara's glare cut him off.

Damn what was with people today glaring at him?

True it was only two people but still. Kyle was too hot to be glared at like that. It was like the devil was in her eyes. Kyle had to look away from her burning emeralds fearing that her look just might actually make his hair turn into flames. Kyle swore he just saw a spark of fire flick from his head.

"What the hell were you thinking showing a sex tape in one of the food courts for Christ's sake?! Do you have any idea how much collateral damage I had to fix? I had to hack each and every recorder out there on the globe to delete the damn video. To make sure it doesn't leak into the real world. And what made you think it was a good idea to film it using a regular camera?! The least you could've done was use the fuck card tablet. At least then I wouldn't have had to hack into every single phone in the world, card tablet, and basically the damn world wide internet!" Kyle could practically see the steam rolling out of her head as he tried his best to look ashamed. He failed. As evident by her still boiling rage as Larissa fumed.

"You could at least try and seem sorry. You owe me big time for this time Kyky." Good, she was using his nickname now. Which meant she must be less mad at him. Kyle smirked, now he could finally lay the cement down and-

"On second thought I actually have this project that I need you to test." Larissa said as she gripped onto Kyle's wrist pulling him down the hall with her.

Kyle bit down on his lower lip as Ren rolled her eyes. Seeing an opportunity to escape Ren quickly scampered out Kyle's room. Kyle frowned looking back at the retreating Ren. Her quick pace was so evident by her small short legs.

Again it was like this invisible tug that was pulling on him to stay with her. Kyle knew he was going to regret this but he just had to know what happened to Ren. He knew of the terrible things her past organization used to do. But he needed to know if she was raped. Because if she was- if she was. So what? It's not like he could do anything about it. No, he can. He could help her get past it. He could tell her that she wasn't alone because he had first-hand experience.

Tugging free of his wrists Kyle jogged back to Ren just as she reached her door. Huh? They were five doors down from one another. Well, that's interesting. Kyle made a note of this in the back of his head for later.

Much to Larissa's displeasure Kyle reached out to Ren slipping in just as she closed the door.

"I was rapped, or well they tried to." Kyle blurted. He didn't know why. Or maybe he did. Maybe it was that same string that was tugging him, tying him to Ren that made him say the things he was now.

Kyle knew that if he didn't spill his secrets fast, she would never reveal hers.

"When I first got here, people weren't very accepting of me. They saw me as a new kid the one to push around. You know how guys are. And when it came out that I was bi, it might as well meant that I was gay. Which I guess to the masculine brains here it was a fopa. They did the typical things. Name calling, lewd gestures, same old same old. But I guess deflowering the "gay" newbie was a fascinating accomplishment for them. Because they tried. They didn't succeed because I held a fucking knife to their balls before they could. Guess they forgot to scan my body for weapons before they decided to rape me." Kyle said omitting the fact that they ambushed him in his own room. They filled it with aphrodisiacs to get him in the "mood". Said it would be a courtesy to make sure he was "wet" before they raped him. Idiots, the asshole can't get wet on its own. Hence why there was lubrication out there in the world.

Man, how in the world did idiots like those get into the organization?

Ren froze her shoulders hunching before a small sigh left her lips. "Secret for secret. That's what we're doing now?" Ren asked her eyes already regretting her actions before the words even slipped from her mouth. Perhaps it was because of the past she shared with the boy. The nostalgia she felt being around him that she spilled her other half to the game.

"My mother sent guards or random people to my bed every night since I was 12. Said it would help make me less hesitant to kill. And it did. I slaughtered each and every single one of them that tried to touch me." She said. Still remembering their pawing hands. The wet hungry looks as they crawled up her bed before of course she took out her dagger from under her pillows and gutted them.

"At first I tried not to kill them. Give them a chance. But turns out my mother also had their leashes in her hands. It was rape her daughter or die trying." Ren shrugged as if those memories didn't haunt her but her reaction the other day told Kyle that wasn't true. Perhaps saying it in such a matter-of-fact way helped lessen her pain. Make it sound inconsequential. Either way, Kyle knew if he pushed further he wasn't going to make her trust him any more than she already did. He wanted to gain her trust. But why? He still needed to figure that out but for now, he'll play his games.

Kyle blinked then shrugged," I cut off one of the guy's balls who tried to get it in me."

Frowning Ren turned cocking a brow over at Kyle.

"I think his name was Dylan? You can confirm it if you want. He's got a prosthetic one now."  Kyle said smirking. Against her will, Ren choked out a laugh. Coving her mouth with a fist Ren tried not to laugh. Kyle beamed finally a smile. He had hoped that line would bring her out of the sober mood their talk was headed in.

"Welp guess I should head over to Lara's station. I kind of do need her to help smooth things over with the heads." Kyle said as he backed out of Ren's room. 

"But I'll see you later for our mission today?" Waving goodbye to an unsure Ren. Leaving Ren wondering about exactly what to do. Should she really try and be partners with him?

Kyle knew he was swaying her over. He had her eating out of the palm of his hands. His good mood was still riding high until he spotted the knowing look in Larissa's eyes as she waited by the elevators. Her brows cocked. "You kept me waiting." She said as they both entered, taking the lift to the research section of the organization. To Larissa's main lab on the 567th floor. She had the whole floor to herself and her assistants to build, create, and form new mixtures, technology, or weapons.

When the door opened though what they both didn't expect was for Avan to already be there waiting. "Lara- I was waiting for you." Although he was the youngest and most good-looking of the siblings in Kyle's eyes Larissa never made a move on him. Kyle on the other hand tried multiple times. But the man was like a virgin with eyes only for Lara. Now the reason Kyle went after Avan was because it would make things a lot easier to do if he had the head of the organization's Research team in his pants.

Kyle watched as no one made a move. The lab was empty, no doubt cleared by Avan himself. The man was charming in all aspects from his jet black hair and cool ocean blue eyes, he might give off the look of a cool icey man like his elder brother Alexander. But everyone knew that wasn't true he was the easiest to push around. He was a big old softy which is probably why Larissa never dated him. She wasn't into that whole submissive vibe. Fumbling with his hands nervously Kyle noted the almost rigid stance Avan was taking.

"Round number 51," Kyle thought. Avan always tried to ask Larissia out and every time she rejected him. It was like a game of cat and mouse. A

Wait, did that mean was he the Avan in his attempt with Ren?

As if knowing where the conversion was leading Larissa sighed. "Avan, what brings you here?" She said but everyone knew what brought the head of the Research department down here instead of being topside and helping to run the world's largest Tech Company.

"Umm- well, my sister called you in." Confused Larissa frowned as did Kyle. Well, this wasn't the direction Kyle was expecting. And neither did Larissa it seemed

"What?" She asked as Avan cleared his throat.

"I tried to clear things up with her but, it seems that showing a sex video from the surveillance app was a bit of an issue. My big brother also agrees. You and Mr. Kyle here need to go to the 5th floor immediately. I am here to make sure you both follow the rules. Guards." Avan said as guards suddenly popped out from nowhere. They were probably just hiding behind the door of the elevator Kyle predicted as both his and Lara's arms were roughly gripped by the guards. Yanked behind their back as if that would stop them if Kyle and Lara did try anything. Kyle's bright mood just dropped by minus 100 degrees.

Author's Note:

Is Larissa and Kyle going to be given a major punishment or is something more at play here?
