Hello Everyone, welcome back! You may hate me for this newest chapter. I'm bringing in a different girl for this one. I'll get back to Tessa for the next chapter so no worries. In the meanwhile, we're going back to a character that I've been meaning to bring into the works for a while. Meet Marissa! She's from chapter 1 so it's okay if you've forgotten her. This chapter is mostly story with a little fun. If you're here for plot then good for you, if you're here for sex then feel free to skim and wait for the next chapter. Now, back to the fun!
Disclaimer: Everyone is well above 18. All characters and story elements are purely fictional and have no bearing on real life. The Business is a place to sell women, it's a huge part of what makes this series. I do not in any way condone the selling/buying of human beings. Also, a lot of this is iffy on consent (they are being sold) so keep in mind to always honor consent and play safe.
Enjoy!

Marissa observed the three men and her handler from across the red room. She made sure to keep her face hidden by her hair while she peeked at them from out of the corner of her eyes. All three men were sexier than watching a hot chick suck on a popsicle; each one something special in their own way. Marissa knew that if she wanted to survive not just one man but three that she'd have to catalogue everything about them. The tallest was an African-American man with a swimmers build and a sexy bald head. He held himself slightly behind the next tallest man as though he was muscle or back up rather than the ringleader. The smallest man was blond and looked like what Marissa would classify as a twink. He had a slight effeminate vibe that was strongly overplayed by manic rage. She could tell because she felt that way often herself. That restless pacing feeling of wanting a release from it all even if you have to chew off a limb or scratch your way out. Marissa knew that feeling made her "the bitch" at the Business but she couldn't seem to shut the fuck up and be a kiss ass like the others. She knew the blond was dangerous inherently but she also felt an echo of understanding that both put her on her guard and strangely relaxed her.
The mid-height man, or the ring-leader, was the one she really needed to watch out for. He had strong Italian coloring like you'd expect of an Italian-American mafia movie of the past. Swarthy and sexy in a suit; her favorite brand of man.
Altogether they looked like men that didn't need to go out buying women at places like the Business. She was sure they could pick up a girl just about anywhere and she'd do what they wanted. Maybe they were here for the convenience: like stopping by for fast food.
'What would you like to order today? Oh, I'll have the tiny, flexible red head to go. Your order will be ready at the next window, please pull ahead.'
If their reasoning wasn't convenience then Marissa was going to be in a bad spot because that meant they had special circumstances that could go sideways for her. She wished the men weren't talking in a lower tone across the room. Her hearing had been iffy ever since she hit her head falling off a balance beam as a kid. It meant that she couldn't hear them at all just a low male drone. Now that she'd catalogued as much as she could from their body language, expressions, and clothing Marissa was stumped on what to do now. Her body was coyly posed on autopilot but froze when the swarthy ringleader punched the Business employee to the ground. It was sudden and almost horrifically violent. Marissa had seen a lot in her years both before and during the Business took her. She'd seen coercion, drugging, and sexual assault that had made her bold in protecting her body but she'd surprisingly never seen violence. The man didn't stop with one punch either he kept punching until the largest man held him back by locking his arms to his sides with his own. The little blond maniac kicked the employee for good measure before opening the door to the hall and hollering for someone to come.
I can't go with them. The thought broke Marissa from her stun and had her staggering back a step mistakenly. All three of them looked her way now; the blond with hatred, the largest man with a raised eyebrow, and the leader with a sneer. Better yet, I don't want to go with them.
"Where do you think you're going?" the small blond man quickly stalk her, she hadn't known she'd move even further back until her shoulders hit the wall.
Suck it the fuck up, Marissa, and stop showing weakness like a little bitch, she scolded herself. Marissa squared her shoulders and looked up the scant inch into the man's eyes.
"Nothing to say?"
"Do you think they'll give you a discount if you deck the help?" Marissa knew she'd fucked up by saying anything at all. Strangely, though, the blond looked taken aback for a second before scoffing and walking back to his friends. Her body released the breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding. She watched the three men chat for a few seconds. It was a study in body language to watch them question the blond and have him dismiss her while repeating her words. The largest man looked intrigued and the leader just furrowed his brows further before shaking off his friends hold. They all turned to the new employee who entered. The employee didn't seem surprised to see one of his coworkers bleeding on the floor so this must happen more than Marissa thought. The new Business worker said something softly to the men, nodded, thought a bit and then ask them something.
They're haggling, Marissa thought, over me? I'm not even good enough for drive-thru food, I'm a street vendor's questionable meat kibab. Marissa sighed.
The men all nodded and the leader smiled wide, it was a rather dazzling sight, all those bright teeth shining in the dark room. The employee stepped over his coworker and tried to take her arm. Marissa haughtily stepped away from him all while giving a look as though touching him would be akin to touching a dead vermin.
"Come this way, we've been requested to escort you to your transportation." He took her bitchiness in stride and gestured for her to leave the room.
They don't even want to test the merchandise? Isn't that the whole point of this damn fugly room? Marissa kept her questions to herself, whatever these men wanted was now detrimental to her health and well-being. She minced her way past all three of her new owners without a single glance. She knew what she'd see if she had looked; smug satisfaction, lust, and the desire to take her apart piece by piece.
She ignored that as best she could and focused on keeping up the image of strength in her tiny form still teetering in fear on high heels. The employee led her down the hall to a room she'd never been inside before. It was lined with clothes, harnesses, and sexual toys she vaguely knew the usage of. The man handed her a black leather cat-burglar suit, all it was missing were the ears and tail and being told to meow.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" she eyed the material with disgust.
