(Posted for Forgotten Wolf)<br/><br/>Adam shot back at Meredith a look of â€˜you would have done the sameâ€™ in response to her hard look at him. She was the one after who taught him about not letting a good purchase slip through your hands. Confident in his decision for the purchase, he gave Aliska a small pat on the head to let her know she did a good job. It wasnâ€™t like he had actually missed anything he would have enjoyed or was important at all.<br/><br/>After Maxâ€™s distracted response (the man never seemed to tear himself away from the matches), Adam and Meredith took their seats in the box with their new purchase by their feet. Adam originally was going to have something brought for Aliska as an added reward for her behavior, but with Meredithâ€™s order not to move he decided not to give the pet conflicting impressions/orders.<br/><br/>He took his seat next to Meredith, clasping her hand in his and bringing it up for him to kiss the back of it sensually though that was it. He let her enjoy the fight, paying only mild attention to it internally while giving the false impression of interest on the outside himself. Meredith enjoyed this kind of thing though and Adam let her have that. To him it just seemed to be a waste to acquire and train up something so expensive only to quite possibly lose it in one day.<br/><br/>When it came to an end, joined in the applause but noted Maxâ€™s actions as well as remembering this was originally supposed to be about business. With Maxâ€™s comment about his gladiator being a slave worth keeping the pieces snapped together and Adam spoke up when the celebration began its decline. â€œSo that is what this is really about, Max? You require our services regarding your prized fighter?â€ Adam said in a polite businesslike manner with a hint of respecting awe though he fabricated the whole thing for the manâ€™s benefit perfectly.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF4000"><span style="font-weight: bold">Max grinned, knowing that he had peaked Adamâ€™s interest, which pretty much guaranteed their assistance. â€œYes. She is a fine specimen as you can clearly attest too, but despite me wanting her to maintain and continue as she is I know that eventually she will lose and then I will lose her. So I want and have been trying to breed her for sometime but she remainsâ€¦uncooperative and I was hoping that the two of you with your skills and resources could help me in that departmentâ€¦â€ he began as he nodded them toward a curtained off doorway. Resisting the urge to take Meredithâ€™s arm he leads them into what could be described as a lush garden, green plants and trees everywhere with a pool of clear fresh water directly before them. It was all so serene and relaxing that one could almost overlook the scantily clad and nervous looking fae slaves. Some were actually lounging in the pool, their lightly scaled blue faces hinting at their possible gifts and abilities. With a smile of pride at his only little slice of paradise away from home he led his guest to a sitting area, piled high with overstuffed pillows and yet more fae slaves those these were naked and kneeling holding large bowls overflowing with fresh fruits and sweets. <br/><br/>â€œPlease make yourselves at home; I want you all comfortable as we discuss our future business togetherâ€ Max smiles as he sits down between the two slaves, waving one of them away to tend to his guests while he takes a cherry from the bowl of the other. Looking her over for a moment before he leans forward to take her nipple into his mouth, where he plays with it till he gets a moan from her lips; pulling off the piece of flesh he smirks, smacks her ass then puts the cherry in his mouth and once again focusing on his guests. <br/><br/>Meredith held onto Adamâ€™s arm as they followed after Max, her mind already thinking of the possible things they could do to get what Max wanted out of his prized slave. If she was so uncooperative, even with her Heat then she and Adam were going to have to work extra hard to get some results. Even do a bit of breaking and rebuilding to get the barbaric beauty in the proper mood. Excited by a new project and pleased with the new gift she leans over and plants a loving kiss on Adamâ€™s cheek then whispers softly, â€œTonight we will break in our new pet togetherâ€ the excitement and lust in her tone was not hidden at all as they entered the garden. It was impressive, especially given how more and more resources were becoming harder to find each and every day. So such a show was a true demonstration of just the kind of pull and resources Max had at his disposal, which of course meant they could charge more for their services. <br/><br/>Sitting down on the offered pillows Meredith took a grape from the bowl of the other slave, giving her a once over as well and finding her to be utterly perfect in every way, Maxâ€™s collection of slaves possibly rivaled their own. Perhaps he would be interested in doing a bit of interbreeding? Perhaps something more they could work into the deal? Eating her grape she turned her attention back to Max, then back to her husband giving him a slight nod that he was to have the reins for this negotiation.</span> </span><br/><br/>Adam bit back remarks he wanted to make to Max about the rumors and such that he knew were true now just from his initial reaction but it simply wouldnâ€™t help negotiations. Meredithâ€™s whisper made him smile and he could help but respond, â€œAnd perhaps a little<span style="font-style: italic">personal</span>time together afterwards?â€ He smiled before kissing her and following after Max. â€œAliska,â€ He called back slightly, â€œCome along dear.â€ He wasnâ€™t planning to letting his new purchase out of his sight until at least they got back home.<br/><br/>Seeing the garden in the coliseum filled with pretty fae women made Adam smirk a little, Max obviously had power and he liked to flaunt it and subtle brag without saying a word. He followed the manâ€™s advice though and took a seat on the comfortable pillows while letting an appreciating expression cross his face. He patted a small pillow to Aliska, a small comfort compared to what they had but she had behaved well so far.<br/><br/>â€œYou have been quietly digging into our other services we provide I see,â€ Adam said with a smile as he sat more upright in the cushion pile. â€œYou are going to have to be a bit more specific though on what you mean by â€˜uncooperativeâ€™ for us to properly assess your gladiatorâ€™s â€˜problemâ€™ and how they might be â€˜rectifiedâ€™,â€ He made sure to emphasize those particular points as they would be important in not only dealing with the pet but also in determining the cost. â€œAlso you must realize we offer a wide range ofâ€¦ â€˜reeducationâ€™ packagesâ€¦ What is it you exactly want us to do?â€ Adam finally started to recline back into the cushions as he finished his last bit of initial questioning to listen to Maxâ€™s responses.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF4000"><span style="font-weight: bold">Max smiled, his ice blue eyes seeming to become hard for a moment before he spoke â€œEven in the peak of her Heat my Sheyera will not fuck. She refuses it completely, even though I know it pains her as she has been observed and recorded trying in vain to satisfy herselfâ€¦â€ he snapped his fingers and a screen was revealed expertly hidden behind some overgrown ferns and now clearly displayed with the leaves out of the way. On the screen came the very clear picture of a lust filled Shey furiously fingering herself as she sought in vain to quench her need to mate.</span> <br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">â€œNow I know that you two are wondering why I did not just force a male upon herâ€¦wellâ€¦â€ the screen flashed to him putting a male into her cell. Watching for a moment as she went to him and there was some fierce kissing and the pulling and ripping of clothing, then just as the male went to put her into a position for penetration she snapped and attacked him. The male was only barely able to be removed as they used her collar to calm her for a bit but not completely immobilize her. â€œFor the past two years I have tried to breed her and each time she lashes out at the males, though her cries and moans for relief are so bad that I have had to put a female in there with her to see if she would allow at least thatâ€¦â€ again attention was directed to the screen as a fae was thrown into the cell with Shey. The look of utter lust that was in her eyes as she hungrily approached the terrified fae was captivating, like watching a wolf stalks a trembling doe. The following scene was hot and racy as Shey used the fae over and over, the female quickly learning what Shey liked and did not so that in no time she was giving Shey the pleasure she needed and Shey was reciprocating in turn. â€œThose these make for Hot videos to watch and well there are plans to sell them to some die hard and rich fans, it does not give me what I want which is a viable offspring from herâ€ Max finished as he ended the video and returned his gaze to the two before him, his hand absentmindedly fingering the fae holding the bowl of fruit; delighting in how she struggled to not drop the dish. â€œSo I need you to help to get her to stop fighting and to let a male fuck her so that I can get the child I wantâ€ he stated simply as he adjusted a finger, smirking in delight as the fae cried out in pleasure and nearly doubled over in pleasure.</span> </span><br/><br/>Adam watched the video closely when the problem point popped up and shot a sideways glance to Meredith when the werewolf lashed out violently. Something had happened to damage that creature and now she had a defense mechanism in place it appeared to get rid of males. Max just made it worse really by â€˜rewardingâ€™ her with females to semi-sate her for the Heat. It was not going to be an easy job but Adam was sourly disappointed when their friend Max was just asking for a simple result.<br/><br/>He brings his gaze back to their host. â€œMax, you definitely are asking the right people but I think you are looking at this too narrowlyâ€¦ too short sighted, no offense,â€ Adam said as kindly and politely as he could. â€œYou are looking at this as if she is simply going to die one day in the ringâ€¦ I would have to disagree based on what has been seen of her performance so far your pet is so strong her downfall will probably be from the audience growing tired of her winning all the time,â€ his words were serious though he wove in a subtle but perceivable tone of awe for the manâ€™s fighter. â€œGetting her to give in to the advances of males we can doâ€¦ maybe work a subliminal failsafe trigger so she canâ€™t resist if she starts to againâ€¦ however perhaps you might want to think beyond simple breeding,â€ Adamâ€™s words took on a thoughtful advising tone, â€œJust like the failsafe trigger, we might be able to implant in her triggers to change her from a warrior toâ€¦ something more suitable for outside the ring. I tell you this know my friend because if we roll it all together it will take less time rather than do a little now and a little later.â€ He pauses to collect his thoughts to explain, â€œYou see each time you want to aid some new â€˜educationâ€™ through our methods, we need to spend time working our way into the petâ€™s mind. Do it all together and we can meld lessons togetherâ€¦ you separate them then it will take more time and thus more money not counter inflation or any special needs the pet might have acquired by that point.â€<br/><br/>Adam lets Max stew on the information for a little before adding to the pitch, â€œListen Max. We are friends so we can potential work out a discountâ€¦ not much of one as this girl looks like she will be a hand full but if you deal with your future plans now I can assure you it will be less of a hit on your wallet than if do it all now then wait.â€ Adam smiles, â€œYou wonâ€™t have to worry about a thingâ€¦ We live up to our reputation.â€ Adam shoots a quick glance silently telling/asking if she might want to demonstrate to Max perhaps on one of the slave girls around them while he negotiated. â€œPlus if it means so much to you we could add in a trigger to turn her backâ€¦ perhaps allow you to flip her back and forth depending on what you WANT and NEED.â€<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF4000"><span style="font-weight: bold">Max pondered this a bit as he held his hand out and the fae he was currently fingering bent down to lick his fingers clean of her juices. â€œMoney is not really a problem nor an issue, especially when it comes to Sheyera nothing is too expensive or costlyâ€¦â€ he admitted rather honestly as he looked away from them for a moment and down to his hands, which from there he continued to speak. â€œI just want to get a child from her, I donâ€™t want to change that fire, that spark, that essence that makes Sheyera who she isâ€¦â€ he looked up at his friends once more now his eyes softening for a moment with some unknown emotion before they hardened again. â€œPerhaps a partial training can be doneâ€¦â€ he stated in uncertainty before he sighed. â€œWould meeting her now help in your evaluation?â€ he asked.</span></span><br/><br/>Adam held back so much that wanted to come out in that moment. He had seen it before and now it seemed like his â€˜friendâ€™ was growing soft in his position as a master, growing too close to his pets. Adam smiled assuredly to Max, â€œYou will have nothing to worry aboutâ€¦ with that â€˜resetâ€™ trigger if something changes her to a way you donâ€™t like you can always return her back to this self of hers.â€ After a moment Adam stood up and offered a hand to his wife to help her up. â€œI do believe meeting her would allow my wife to more accurate determine what might be best manner to approach this and what might turn out actually necessary.â€ Adam smiled to Meredith knowing how she loved her job. â€œI would prefer to review her medical files to see what more can be done to aid in her training.â€ All ready Adam was considering possible routes to goâ€¦ of course though once he left for those files negotiations would most likely fall on Meredith since Adam doubted that Max would allow either of them to see his gladiator without his supervision. Adam was pretty certain though that his wifeâ€™s wiles and skills might make the man more open to a raised price and additional packages.<br/><span style="color: #FF4000"><span style="font-weight: bold"><br/>Max grinned, â€œI had a feeling that you would want to examine her so I took a few libertiesâ€¦â€ he motions for them to sit back down then claps his hands and from another curtained off doorway Sheyera is lead into the room, appearing to have been bathed and her wounds tended to while they were discussing business. She bore no shackles or chains wearing only her collar as she was escorted in by two male slaves, one appearing to be a dragonkin of some kind though he appeared to only be distantly so as his dragon features were reduced to just his serpent like eyes and scaly green flesh. The other appeared to be human though he bore a collar as well and there was a hidden sensation coming from him, like he was more than meets the eye. <br/><br/>Sheyera stopped before them with her back to the pool so that they could look upon her as she stood in a relaxed stance staring at the wall behind them. â€œHer medical records will be here shortly but in the mean time by all means please look and examine to your pleasure, Sheyera is very obedient and will not try anything. Isnâ€™t that right Sheyera?â€ Max asked her as he smiled in pride. <br/><br/>â€œOf course Masterâ€ Shey replied without so much as blinking.</span> </span><br/><br/>Adam paused and let Meredith take her seat again if she so chose. Adam took his time carefully examining her visually, moving around to get a good view of her. Physically speaking she was a very fine specimen but mentallyâ€¦ based on the deadened look in her eyes and the video there were serious obstacles to overcome. â€œShe is a fine specimen, Maxâ€¦ So you mention partial trainingâ€¦ What exactly were you thinking of?â€ Adam with genuine curiosity as he pretended to continue to admire Maxâ€™s most prized possession.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF4000"><span style="font-weight: bold">Meredith returned to her seat and sat back watching her husband at work, trying to see if he had what it took to seal the deal.<br/><br/>Max could not keep his eyes off of Shey, drinking in every detail, every curve, and the new mark on her shoulder from todayâ€™s fight. He just could not get enough of her, she was perfect in his eyes and truly did not want to change her, but he wanted the ability to get closer to her and that was what he needed Adam and Meredith for. â€œI just want her to be more receptive to males when she is in Heat and then more complacent during her pregnancy afterwardsâ€¦donâ€™t want her trying to terminateâ€ he said as he watched Adam carefully not wanting him to touch what he felt was his and his alone. <br/><br/>Sheyâ€™s upper lip twitched at the corner as she listened to them talk about her like she was not there, though still she remained where she was not moving as her Master wanted. </span></span><br/><br/>Adam easily noticed Maxâ€™s behavior around his gladiator and just with the manâ€™s emotions they could bank big on this endeavor. â€œI think we can do thatâ€¦ increasing her need and reducing her willpower in regards to males.â€ Adam stated simply as he moved around Shey to examine her more thoroughly without touching her. â€œMaking her more complacent for her pregnancy thoughâ€¦ hmmmâ€¦ that might be difficult. Such training will be extra difficultâ€¦ perhaps as a precautionary measure it would be best if we make her more submissive as well during her pregnancy. Complacency isnâ€™t an easy thing to place in a creature.â€ Somewhat of a lie, they could probably make her feel like sheâ€™s feeling the afterglow of great sex through her pregnancyâ€¦ but given what he had seen Adam wasnâ€™t sure that would be enough to keep this wolf calm/in control. â€œIn all honesty my friendâ€¦ You really should consider some additional packages for herâ€¦ not just for you but her. Think the long run, when the time comes to retire her what will happen? Are you going to keep her? If so does she have any other purposes other than to fight and kill? Any other usable skills?â€ Adam was almost positive that this gladiator was one of those who didnâ€™t have any other purposes in their life and hoped this realization would hit Max.<br/><br/>The realization that retiring her would traumatize her without any other purpose or skills, leaving him with a even more broken shell of a pet than he has now. Sure he could keep her fighting privately in his facilities but heâ€™d go bankrupt trying to keep her in stock with opponentsâ€¦ either that or people would stop selling to him as the number of slaves dropped due to his petâ€™s bloodthirsty nature. How long could he afford to sustain such a creature? How long could he endure her pain if he didnâ€™t keep letting her fight? Perhaps another set of skills and purposes put in her wouldnâ€™t be a bad thingâ€¦ and with a trigger like Adam was suggesting it wouldnâ€™t come into the equation or effect her till he decided it was time.<br/><br/>â€œâ€¦Perhaps there is one option we can offer you might be interested in beyond your simple requests,â€ Adam added when he stopped right next to Max, both of them looking in an appreciating manner at the gladiator. â€œWe could make her desire youâ€¦ love you. She would still have that spark and everything but you might see a whole new level to her as she fights not only just to fight but also fighting for your approval and happiness.â€ Given the manâ€™s actions and responses so far, Adam was almost certain this might catch the manâ€™s attention. He was still hoping though Max went for other packages for training and implanting triggers into his pet. Not only would it jack up the price but the longer she got to spend in their care the more they could implant their own triggers and desires in the manâ€™s fighter.<br/><span style="color: #FF4000"><span style="font-weight: bold"><br/>Max stood staring at Shey, listening to Adamâ€™s words and trying to decide if these were things that he wanted done to her? Then of course there was the fact that Adam was correct that as it were Shey was only good to him for fighting, winning and well other personal things. Yet when she was done in the arena how was he going to keep her happy? He knew damn well that she only fought because she wanted to, because she wanted to forget her past life and so was gradually washing away her past in a bath of blood. He was teetering on the edge of a decision till they mentioned the last bit, having her to love and desire him, even if it was something forced upon her would be just perfect. <br/><br/>Meredith decided to help seal the deal as she suddenly appeared behind Max, her arms draping causally over his shoulders as she hugged herself to him. She stood on her tip toes as she leaned forward so that her lips barely brushed against his left ear, â€œThink about it Maxâ€¦hearing her howl out your name in love and pleasureâ€¦aching to be at your side. Yearning for your touch, willing to do anything to please you and brighten your dayâ€¦â€ she paused a bit as she slowly let a small trickle of her power seep into him and felt his response as his breath quickened and his pupils dilated. â€œThink of her carrying your child happily and eagerly. Barely able to contain her joy at the thought of bringing your son into the worldâ€¦â€ she pulled away from him with those words as she went to her husband, then for Maxâ€™s benefit she pulled him into a kiss that was tender and yet passionate at the same time; a kiss exchanged by those who loved one another (or at least that would be how he perceived it).<br/><br/>Watching that kiss after her words Max was sold on the idea, â€œMake a trigger for her to be more complacent and receptive to males in her heat, to follow with her being submissive and even eager for the pregnancy that followedâ€¦â€ stepping toward Shey now Max allowed his hand to gently caress the side of her face, â€œMake her love meâ€¦â€ he finished as he continued to look upon Shey who only stared off at the wall, not even acknowledging his touch.</span></span><br/><br/>Adam played along with his loving wife, putting himself into the show of the kiss for Max and they had the man hook, line, and sinker. It was almost sad to see such a man desperate for love but only seemed to see it in one he held prisoner and controlled completely. Still when money and power were involved, the Serasinâ€™s were generally there to exploit such weaknesses.<br/><br/>Adam smiled as he held his wife tenderly against him as he looked at Max. â€œI assure you Max that weâ€™ll do a thorough job to insure she is what you want,â€<span style="font-style: italic">plus what we want,</span>Adam thought to himself. â€œThere is just a few things more to discuss. Firstly we are going to have to take her to one of our facilities and keep her there for several weeksâ€¦ Iâ€™m afraid you wonâ€™t be able to see her during that time as we need to isolate her from outside stimuli and we donâ€™t share our methods,â€ Adamâ€™s business tone returned even as his arm ran lovingly up and down his wifeâ€™s back/side slowly.<br/><br/>â€œSecondly we have the price issueâ€¦ Now because you are our friend Iâ€™ll cut the price substantially but weâ€™ll be taking a hitâ€¦ Would you be will to negotiate breeding rights perhaps? I know you normally do your own breeding but since we are doing this for you my friend perhaps you would be willing to give us exclusive breeding rights to your stock including your fighter? With this partnership we would be closer and be willing to make any further mods you might like or fixes to be free.â€<br/><br/>Adam moves slightly away from his wife so he can pull out his sophisticated PDA and pulling up the necessary documents before holding it out to Max. â€œHereâ€¦ you know how it goes, simply press your fingers to the lines on the screen to sign with your fingerprints. All the contract and standard waiver forms are there that we can at least start the process of handling your pet. We can have our people handle the money and rights write ups.â€ Adam smiled friendly at Max as he held out the electronic device, assuring him everything would be ok and he would have his dreams come true.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF4000"><span style="font-weight: bold">Max nodded as he placed his fingers in the appropriate place and with a small electronic beep the deal was sealed, â€œI will be wanting constant updates and a 24 hour video feed on her when she is not going through trainingâ€¦â€ his tone hard and all business once again as he looked to Adam, glaring him straight in the eyes. â€œShould anythingâ€¦and I mean anything happen to her while in your care, know that there will not be a place on this planet where you could hide from me where I would not find you. We clear?â€ his tone hard and full of complete seriousness, with Max being a man who was known for keeping his word; even if it took years. </span></span><br/><br/>â€œThe updates we can doâ€¦ The video feed you might find yourself staring at a blank screen for days. Weâ€™ll open a feed up when she makes enough breakthroughs and earned herself a rest though,â€ Adam responded in a matter-of-fact manner to Maxâ€™s demands as he put the device away. â€œWe might be friends Max but I am not going to risk our business secrets so you can watch your pet. I said you wouldnâ€™t be able to see herâ€¦ that meant by any means my friend. I am sorry but that is the way it will need to be,â€ Adamâ€™s sincere voice showing he felt for his friend but he wasnâ€™t going to budge on the matter. â€œYou care about her and I can see that but that is doubly why you canâ€™t see her till we are done with her. We are going to push her to the limit in ways she has never experienced before and it would be detrimental to her development if you got worried and had second thoughts in the middle of it. Once sheâ€™s in she wonâ€™t be leaving till the time is up Max. You will have to trust us on this one my friend.â€<br/><br/>Maxâ€™s obsession made Adam a little uneasy and could be a point of concern in the future regarding his pet. Hopefully the man would be able to restrain himself long enough for them to do their job. Legally though Max could not do anything about it now. He agreed to the contract that made Shey theirs for the specified time period and to deny her to them now or try and take her back would be a breach of that contract. Ultimately though the Serasinâ€™s could more than likely use this obsession to their advantage especially since they were going to have access to that petâ€™s mind. â€œIs there anything else you would like to discuss Max because the sooner we get to work the sooner your Barbaric Beauty will be all yours. Also weâ€™ve got our newest addition to properly integrate into our home,â€ Adam takes a brief moment to give Aliska a warm smile before focusing back on their current host.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF4000"><span style="font-weight: bold">Max glared for a long moment at Adam then snapped his fingers, the slaves in the area beginning to clean up and lock the place down; the fae who had been the receiver of his earlier affections came forward with his silver cane bowing as she held it out for him. â€œNo we are done. I expect a report asap on her progress, within the week that should be enough time for resultsâ€ he focused on Shey then, snapping his fingers in front of her face to get her complete attention as she turned to look at him. â€œYou are to go with them and do as they say. Understand?â€ <br/><br/>â€œOf course Master. Will I be fighting for them then?â€ Shey asked.<br/><br/>Max shook his head, â€œNo but they will ensure that you get the proper exercise and everything else you need to coop. We will be together again soon and then things will go back as they wereâ€ <br/><br/>Shey nodded â€œAs you wish Masterâ€ she said turning her face to look at Adam. â€œI do not require an armored escort but if it would make you feel better the two slaves who are with me now usually escort me so they would be suited for that purposeâ€ her tone lifeless and to the point. </span></span><br/><br/>The gladiator was a bit unnerving with her emotionless manner to herâ€¦ like the very life had been sucked out of her. Other than when in Heat or fighting she just didnâ€™t seem to live or feel or express such sensations. It was obvious that this one was probably going to be a tough nut to crack so they will probably need to bring out the big guns on this one. Once they broke through though they would have so much fun.<br/><br/>Adam leaned down to whisper in his wifeâ€™s ear, â€œYou show our new project to her cell and I will make sure there is something â€˜tastyâ€™ ready for you when you get home, ok?â€ Adam took the moment to nibble on her ear briefly, enough for her to notice but not enough to draw attention from others. â€œMy wife here will show you to where you will be staying,â€ Adam stated simply when he brought his attention back to lifeless corpse before them. He glanced at Meredith and gave her teasing evil wink with the fact that he actually gave her no choice in the matter.<br/><br/>â€œAliska, we are going home so come along now,â€ he called to his new purchase. He clips the leash to her collar and looks to Max one last time. â€œTill we meet again my friend.â€ With these finally words, Adam starts to head out leading his naked beauty behind him on her leash. He did not tell her to change this time to test her and see how she would handle the trip from the coliseum to their mansion in the Greens. Will be interesting to see how deserving she is of rewardsâ€¦
