He is speechless

Axel didn’t know what to say. His mouth opened and closed. He looked toward Matt for any kind of guidance, but his senior had gone completely still. Matt stood off to the side, hands clenched at his sides, clearly hoping Vince would simply ignore him. The usual confidence Matt carried around the house was gone. In its place was pure, quiet fear.

Vince raised an eyebrow when no answer came. He took another drag, exhaled slowly, then walked past Axel without another word. His boots clicked softly on the floor as he approached the empty-eyed Serena. He stopped in front of her, studied her naked body for a long moment, then reached out and touched her chin with two fingers. He tilted her face up gently.

“You did have something of mine after all…” Vince said quietly. His thumb brushed along her jaw. “Wake up, my dear.”

The moment the words left his mouth, something shifted in Serena’s eyes. The blankness drained away slowly. Color and life flooded back into her expression. Pure joy spread across her face so fast it almost looked painful. She stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Vince, pulling him in hard. Her massive breasts pressed against his chest and face, burying him between the soft, heavy flesh.

“Master Vince! Thank you so much for allowing me the privilege of your presence!”

Vince laughed into her cleavage, the sound muffled. He let the hug last a few seconds longer than necessary before he planted both hands on her sides and pushed her back just enough to free his face. He kept one hand on her waist. The other came up, cupped her cheek and pulled her into a deep, slow kiss. Serena melted into it immediately, mouth open, tongue meeting his without hesitation. The kiss lasted long enough that Axel looked away for a second. When he looked back, Vince was already breaking it off. From his pocket he pulled a folded black cloth and pressed it into Serena’s open palm.

“It’s time to show me that you deserve my presence, Serena. You know what to do, don’t you?”

Serena looked down at the black cloth. Her eyes lit up with something close to pride. She nodded quickly, almost bouncing on her toes.

“Go on then. Follow my bodyguards. They’ll get you where you need to be…” Vince said, voice soft but absolute.

“As you say, Master Vince!” Serena answered without a second of delay. She turned, still completely naked and nodded once to the two women in the tiny bikinis. The fighters turned in perfect unison and led her out of the room. Serena followed close behind them, the black cloth held carefully in both hands like it was something sacred. The door closed behind the three of them with a heavy click.

Vince turned back toward Axel and Matt. He walked over to the open capsule, sat on the edge of the open glass door, and rested his elbows on his knees. The cigarette dangled between two fingers. He looked at the two younger men for a long, quiet moment.

“You two, on the other hand… I need to have a word with.” His voice stayed calm, almost friendly. That somehow made it worse. “Care to explain to me how you not only used my personal asset, but also misplaced her for a while?”

Axel’s blood ran cold. He forced himself to meet Vince’s eyes. They were dark, almost black in the lab light, and completely steady.

“No Vince, I am so sorry. I didn’t know she was yours. There were no signs in the roster.”

Vince stood up slowly. He walked closer until he was only a couple of feet from Axel. The smell of cigarette smoke and expensive cologne filled the space between them.

“Yeah, I guess I can give you that. I did want her identity a secret. After all, she’s such a prized asset of mine. I bet you understand now, don’t you?”

Axel tried to answer, but the words stuck. Matt finally found his voice and stepped forward half a step, hands raised in a placating gesture.

“WE DO! We sure do, Vince. Please forgive us…” Matt spoke fast, the words tumbling out. “We promise we’ll get out of your hair now!”

Matt grabbed Axel’s arm and started pulling him backward toward the door, offering Vince a tight, nervous smile the whole time. They made it almost to the threshold before Vince’s voice stopped them cold.

“Wait.”
