1.2.2 Laboratory
When Richard awoke the next morning after eight hours of sleep he found himself in Selene's bed. The woman next to him looked simply breathtaking in her latex catsuit. Her stunning beauty didn't even make him wonder how he got here or where he actually was. He wanted nothing more than to possess this woman. Selene sat beside him in bed and stroked him gently.
"Did we?"
he started to ask before she interrupted him.
"You would remember that, Richard. But we will. Because from now on, you are my slave. You will work for me and if you do your work well, I will reward you,"
Selene said gently but firmly and continued to stroke his body tenderly.
Richard wasn't used to being treated like that, but if she wanted to play the dominant role this time, it was OK for him. He had a thing for dominant women and liked to submit himself. But he had learned that it was better to submit his partner so that she would be faithful to him. He could tie her up next time.
"I really was a bad boy and must be punished,"
he replied, hoping she would punish him with caresses.
"I won't punish you just because you are a Mafia boss and are responsible for several murders last night alone. You're gonna help me with a medical problem. Put some clothes on, we'll need your laboratories,"
Selene said, still softly but firmly. Then she stood up and grabbed him by the shoulder with one hand and stood him upright. She wanted him to understand that she was stronger than she looked, but she didn't want to show him right away that she could kill him with one finger. She loved him too much for that.
"How did you do that?"
he asked, confused but more curious than afraid. To make a strong dominant woman his slave appealed to him much more than a submissive weak woman. He loved challenges.
"I told you to solve a medical problem for me. Examine me and you'll understand,"
Selene said mysteriously. She gave him a quick kiss on the lips and dragged him behind her to the elevator.

Selene let Richard drive his car himself and sat down next to him. She let him choose the appropriate laboratory of his company. If he could drive the car, he might feel like he had everything under control, although from now on he would do whatever Selene asked him to do. Selene had hinted that he would need his genetic engineering equipment. On the way to his lab, she gently explained to him that she was a vampire but could not reproduce. He accepted that she was the first and only one of her kind and was curious like a child that he could be the first to be allowed to examine her genes.
They also had breakfast on the way. Selene fed him a breakfast that her servants had prepared and she herself drank a few bags of blood. Feeding a man was always a way into his heart. And Richard put up with her spoiling him with his favorite foods. He stood on it like Selene's rubber-covered fingers stroked his mouth and tried again and again to catch one of her fingers to kiss it.
Selene let him have his fun and kept feeding him scrambled eggs and bacon. When she noticed how much he liked to eat out of her hand, she picked up the scrambled eggs and pushed them into his mouth. He obviously loved to lick her rubber fingers, so she let him taste her gloves.
Richard took her to one of his brothels and led her into the cellar. His biggest brothel, called Rubber Pussy. Selene could see cells here where women were locked up and mostly slept. It was the middle of the day and accordingly no customers here. All of Richard's slave girls were wearing rubber. Some were completely wrapped in latex, others only had a latex dress, but most of them were somewhere in between. Selene was happy that he shared her fetishes.
Many of the hookers also wore a choker connected to a sturdy chain that was anchored in the wall. They were not women who played at being a slave for just a few hours. They were permanently. But the women didn't really look unhappy. Not like women held by force, but like women who had voluntarily submitted. Almost like Selene's own maids.
"Do you keep all your women in cages so that they won't escape you."
Selene never felt comfortable in brothels. Every man hoped she was at her beck and call, and it was tiresome to keep sorting out the rankings. Almost as if her natural authority was challenged by the building itself. Selene suspected that the building was a trap, but she trusted her strength and her ability to force Richard to cooperate.
"Of course. It costs a lot to bring them into the country. But each of them signed a contract binding them to the brothel for five years. During that time she'll have shelter, food and medical care. And at the end, they get the ten percent of their wages that don't go to me."
"You're just gonna let them go? And you pay them?"
asked Selene. Selene had never let any of her slaves go. And she found money far too scarce to give them freely. Much more than they needed to live, she would not let her slaves go.
"Of course. But not only because it's in the contract and then they're free, but because they're less profitable then. Younger women go better. Only some I keep after five years in my companies or in the management of brothels."
"The girl who usually accompanies you, is she locked up here too?"
Selene asked.
"Alicia? She'd like that! But no. She is my adopted daughter. And I would never share her. Since she's grown up, I train her to be my companion. She is in love with me and fulfills all my wishes. She also lets me run the brothels she inherited. Technically, they're hers, but as her guardian I'm in charge,"
Richard said. He tried not to let it show that Alicia owned his heart. He only wanted Selene for sex.
"Well, that's why you have me now. I will grant you all your sexual desires if you can help me. Why do the brothel need a gene lab anyway? Or do you think you can keep me locked up in one of those cells."
"A cell for you is not a bad idea. I'm sure you'd make a lot of money, but I want you for me. These cells are not the reason we're here. I have my own private laboratory here and when I need inspiration, I go visit the cages. It's not a brothel with an attached genetic lab, it's my genetic lab with an attached brothel,"
Richard led Selene down another floor until they entered a well-equipped lab on the third basement floor with all the medical equipment one could need.

"Best we start with a genetic analysis, then the computer has time to understand your genes. May I take a few drops of blood, or do you have a bloodlust then?"
Richard asked cautiously. He only knew vampire legends and did not want to risk her becoming aggressive.
Wordlessly Selene grabbed a test tube, bit her wrist and let a few drops of her blood drip into it. She showed him clearly how her canines worked and that her skin healed almost instantly. She gave him the test tube, and then asked,
