246. Olivia - Azael III

Azael slides me a cup of coffee across the desk. I was never a huge fan of caffeine, but the past two days have been an absolute nightmare. Well, not really, but being locked in the cell with **919** was enough to drive me insane. All he does is work out and plan how to kill Azael. And he is not subtle about it, either. He almost got us into trouble a few times.

I hate to admit it, but I do agree with Azael. **919** does need to blow off some steam, and I'm not referring to him flexing his muscles while he does push-ups but about emptying his balls. I suggested to him a few times to jerk off in the bathroom, but he gave me funny looks, making me wonder if he ever had sex. Or if he even knows how to touch himself. If not for him going absolutely batshit crazy if I were to touch him, I might have volunteered to show him how to do it. Hell, I would have jerked him off myself. Then, he could focus on our task and not lose more time.

Wrapping my fingers around the warm cup, I say, "Thank you," in a gentle voice.

From behind his strange mask, Azael observes me. Why does he bother hiding his face when very few survive an encounter with him? "You still haven't fucked 919."

Is he keeping tabs on what I'm doing? "**919** wants me to seduce him first. But I'm getting there. Meanwhile, you can let me see Mose."

"He is well."

the other hand, don't fear anything." I wouldn't say that. There are many things I'm scared of. But strangely, Azael is not one of them.
