Their Human

Chapter two: first shift

"Alright, this is the tablet you'll use to record everything you find on him. Even the smallest of details must be written down. Then at the end of each week, we'll come check on you and see his behavior. Make sure that you send us all of your findings as soon as possible." Damien said, handing me one of the tablets he was holding.

He kept the second one, which I'm assuming was meant for Sharlene, and tucked it under his arm.

The rules were all explained to me. It was not much and most of them were something I've already heard. I wasn't allowed to say anything to anyone, now that included Sharlene. Each week, Damien would take one day and help me around with the research and at any random moment, the government would burst through those doors to see if there's been any new information.

"You must always be ready with information because they will kick you off the case if there's no new development." Damien explained, his light blue eyes staring me from head to toe.

Another thing was that I should always be careful when around him. During my time with him, there will be nobody allowed in the lab with me so whenever I do observations that require me touching him, I have to make sure that I'm careful.

"Never release him unless the glass wall is down. The glass is thick and should be able to protect you if he tried to break it. If you need to touch him, make sure he's chained up."

I was given a second remote, this one had only one grey button. It controlled his chains. If I pressed it, he gets released and if I press it again, the chains tie him up.

"What if he doesn't step inside the chains? How will I lock him in?" I asked, looking at the remote. Damien placed his rough textured hand on my cheek and I looked up at him, waiting for his answer.

He looked at me lustfully, making me feel some familiar feeling in my lower abdomen. "The chains are connected to a motion sensor. As long as he's behind that wall, the chains can get to him and tie him up. I don't know the science behind that, it's some government secret." He explained, his voice softening.

He looked at my lips, making me lick them. I could feel the lust he had towards me. It didn't help that we were alone in the lab.

Sharlene had been asked to hand over her key card and had to be escorted out. Mr Hughes followed her along with his guards, leaving Damien to explain everything to me. But it seemed to me that he wanted to do more than just explain.

"Just ten minutes, baby. That's all I need to make you feel good." He whispered, reaching for the buttons of my lab coat. I quickly stepped away, shaking my head.

"Not here, not now." I breathed out, shaking my head. There could be camera here for all I knew, and I'm not losing my job over a quicky.

"You never have time for us anymore." He said. He was frustrated, and I honestly was too.

"That's because there is no 'us'. You are getting married in a month." I reminded him. He rolled his eyes when I mentioned it, just like how he always did. I regret the day I lost myself and slept with him. I regret doing it over and over again, knowing well that he was in a relationship.

It was a mistake, a big one. We were both upset. He had gotten into an argument with his fiancé and I had just been catfished by someone who promised to give me the whole world. Damien and I vented out to each other, got comfort from each other but we made a mistake that night. We slept together.

It didn't stop there. Every single chance we got, it happened. His office, my lab, the bathroom, the elevator, the hallway, everywhere.

But it was wrong, and I couldn't do it anymore.
