Chapter 7: Road Rage
*From the Ruler's blog, entry 112*
Apparently, most non-natural causes of death have dramatically decreased. Cheers me! I should get a Nobel Prize for that. The one big exception is car accidents. There ain't much I can do about that, but I just got a very good idea regarding road rage. Let's make him road love. It will be better if everyone drives without so much anger, am I right?

Nicole felt like her day couldn't get any worse. She needed to clear her head, so she turned the car radio on. She still had a couple of hours of driving to reach her sister's house. What an absolute shitshow of a day it had been at work. What once had been a skyrocketing career for Nicole, achieving being put in charge of a team of seven brilliant women at the age of 30, outperforming sales projections every quarter, had completely fallen apart. Sure, before she knew that her all-women team was used as eye candy to help win over clients, to a degree. But she still had a respectable job, they were professionals. She still had to negotiate, learn to read people, and lead her team.
Now she had to deal with daily complaints about clients forcing her team to do pitches topless. Today one of the biggest clients had managed to pull the two youngest members of the team into a forced threesome. Nicole had been working in the next room and could hear everything. Afterward, she had to console the girls, both in tears, with cum still on their faces. HR had been pointless. 'It is company policy to not intervene in Ruler-related incidents and leave it to higher authorities'. Nicole's boss had directly told to her: "Hey, those two managed to extend the contract for three more years. Give them props". Her team hated her for doing nothing. But what could she do, quit? No woman was brave enough to quit her job after the whole flight attendants fiasco. There was nothing to be done. This was how the world worked now.
*Fuck that*, Nicole thought. Frustration had been building for months. *Fuck the Ruler, fuck that monster*. The news headlines on the radio weren't helping her mood.
"Japan's upcoming baby boom has forced the Japanese government to issue a state of emergency, asking the international community for extra doctors to deal with what experts estimate as 25 million concurrent pregnancies"
"North Korea and South Korea have officially been reunited by the Ruler. The Ruler has commemorated the occasion by allowing Korean men to pick a woman from the other side to engage in sexual activities"
"The former country of Nepal to be officially renamed to Nipple. The nipplese president has sent a statement thanking the Ruler for his brilliant idea regarding the country "
"Emma Bennett has had her Best Actress Academy Award revoked after the Ruler deemed her blowjobs 'underwhelming'"
"Mysterious secret Rule in western Europe is generating an uptick in lesbic incidents in front of men. Victims claim to feel the need to impress men by engaging in sexual intercourse with a female friend in front of them, but the specific trigger has still not been identified"
"The Pope announces that the Ruler will be incorporated into Catholic dogma"
That last one made Nicole turn off the radio. She wasn't even religious, but the thought of treating the Ruler like divinity made her want to puke. The Ruler was a curse. Nicole was near her boiling point. Which wasn't helped by the car behind her getting way too close and honking for her to go faster.
"AM GOING AT THE SPEED LIMIT!", Nicole shouted, even though nobody could hear letting her rage flow. She pulled a middle finger to the driver behind her. The driver honked again, and again. "GET FUCKED!".
And suddenly, the words *get fucked, get fucked, get fucked* started spinning in her head. The driver behind her... needed to get fucked. She immediately recognized what was going on. Her dumb ass had triggered some stupid rule, and now she... she... yeah, there was no way out of this. She had to fuck that man. *God fucking damn it*. Nicole identified a place on the side of the road where she could pull over. In the mirror, she could see the driver doing the same.
Nicole was fuming when she got out of the car, closing the door with force enough to nearly break it. The driver behind her was a man, early 50s. A bit of a beer belly. Hairy. Wearing a football jersey. Most definitely not Nicole's type, not that it mattered. He also got out of his car, looking confused and in a hurry.
"Uh... you know why I pulled over?" He asked.
"You idiot made me trigger a stupid Rule. You... you need to get fucked. By... by me. " Nicole took a deep breath. Whatever the rule consisted of, it didn't come with a script. "You and I have to fuck. Come on, take your pants out, let's make it quick"
"Wait, now? I can't! The game is starting in 15 minutes, you bitch was going too slow and making me late"
"Are you kidding me? I am telling you I am going to have sex with you and you are thinking about dumb sports?" Nicole couldn't believe it.
"Look, you are a pretty lady, but sex with pretty ladies isn't that hard to get these days. Can't we do it at my house?"
