Wait...

“Hey, lil’ mama, let me whisper in your ear,” Barry said to Tes, beckoning her to come closer to him so that he could do just that. It seemed that the bastard had hit upon an idea, and was telling Tessa something she might like to hear.

As Barry surreptitiously told Tessa his terms (Millie supposed), the blonde bombshell continued to stare straight ahead, took a while to consider after Barry had stopped talking, and finally nodded her head, assenting to his conditions.

“Good girl!” Barry grinned. “Wise choice you just made there. Well then, off you go!”

He punctuated his statement with a slap to Tessa’s behind, causing her to yelp and jump up slightly. She promptly left the room, and Millie followed, leaving Barry to smirk after them, admiring how their hips shook as they walked.

“So, what did he want this time?” Millie asked.

“Ahhh... not much,” Tessa started, before deciding to revise her statement. “Well, he wants to ramp up what he wants to do to me, but at this point, it’s already over if he gets me, right, so there’s basically no difference, you know?”

Millie had the impression that Tes was blustering a little bit, betraying a nervousness her words wouldn’t lead you to expect. She thought nothing of it though, chalking it up to nervousness from facing the prospect of submitting to that asshole.

“I’m off to get drinks for us,” Tes said. “Keep an eye on the other girls, okay? I have more enemies than I thought...”

“Yeah, sure.”

After a while, Tes returned with said drinks. Perhaps it wasn’t wise to continue drinking ****, but oh well. Millie raised her cup to her lips and drank, staring at the dim lights on the ceiling and hoping that the night would finally start looking up.
