8 A slave or baby making machine?

"Ooooo, I am a billionaire. I am a dragon. I am immortal. I am so great and handsome and sexy and the best in the world," Zi Mei mimicked his tone mockingly and rolled her eyes after the door closed behind Thorin.

She stuck her tongue out at the door childishly and showed her middle finger for good measure. Not like he was there to see it. But still, it gave her a small measure of satisfaction.

She hoped she is not making a mistake by agreeing to this. She is literally trapped in this room and he hasn't really given her a choice. She either had to agree now or she stay trapped and agree later. And staying trapped here until she gets pregnant?

That is beyond ridiculous. She would go mad stuck in this room. He can't expect to keep her locked up like some animal in a zoo. She stood up and paced the room anxiously. How will she convince him to let her go. Or at least to give her some freedom? And what about her job?

She looked around the room. It was large and luxurious with plush luxurious furniture and an ensuite. But it is still a prison. And there was no TV. No computer. No gadgets. Not even a book. Nothing. She will just die of boredom at this rate. How will she pass her time? Stare out the windows and enjoy the view?

"Stupid old dragon. Is that how you treat your mistress? Aren't mistresses supposed to be pampered with everything they ever need? Damn, he wants me to have his babies, the least he could do was to treat me like a queen isn't it? Aren't mistresses supposed to go for spas and manicures and endless shopping trips?" she muttered to herself as she paced.

"What's the point of becoming a mistress when I am locked in here? The term shouldn't even be mistress, it should be SLAVE! A sex slave! No no…a paid baby making slave," she huffed angrily.

"And what does he mean "till I get tired of you"…was that supposed to be an insult? Tired of me?? Really! It should be till I get tired of him. He is the old man here. I am young and fertile and full of energy!" she is now talking out loud. Why bother to keep her tone down when she's all alone in a freaking room-prison.

She continued to pace the room, muttering and talking loudly to herself. It was not like she could vent and rant to anyone else. She has no way of contacting the outside world.

She doesn't even know where they are. She can't even climb out the window. And if she tried to shred and connect all of the curtains and the sheets, like in the movies, it wouldn't be long enough to reach the ground floor. They were too far up.

"Stupid old dragon!" she said and kicked the chair. Then she kicked it harder for good measure, imagining kicking Thorin.

Then the door opened. Of course, just when she is acting out, he must come back, she thought and turned to the door. It was only Jessica and a couple burly men, probably more bodyguards. She wondered why they needed bodyguards when Thorin is all powerful and magical and all that jazz. He could easily snap a finger or something and everything will be in control.

She wondered if Jessica is human or a dragon shapeshifter too. Maybe she is a dragon shapeshifter, that was why she couldn't bear him offsprings. She studied the other woman curiously. Jessica ignored her blatant stare but entered the room bringing a file. The two men stood at the entrance of the door which was left open. She tried to look outside but they blocked her view.

Jessica snapped her finger and the plates and cutleries on her table disappeared. Guess her curiosity was answered. The other woman is obviously a dragon shapeshifter with her own magic too. Then she wondered if Jessica needed to mate with a human man to get offsprings. It would only make sense if this works both ways.

"Here, Thorin wants you to sign this agreement. It is quite simple and straightforward," Jessica had sat down on one of the chairs and placed the file on the table. She waited for Zi Mei to make her way there. Zi Mei sat across from her and stared at the file.

"I won't be signing away my soul or something like that right?" she asked suspiciously. She made no move to touch the file.

Jessica gave her a cold smile. She pushed the file towards Zi Mei.

"I trust you can read. It is not like you are illiterate. Please read the terms and conditions and sign it if you agree to it," she said icily.

Zi Mei let out a heavy breath. She might as well read through it. Not like she has anything else to do anyway and the way Jessica was staring at her was kinda scary and spooky. She still didn't know if dragons can eat humans and Jessica might eat her if she offended her.

She opened the file. Inside it was a document titled simply "Contract Between Thorin Loong and Tan Zi Mei". She started to read. The contract was worded simply and had a list of terms and conditions.

1. She must live together with Thorin Loong at all times.

2. She must only sleep in the same room as Thorin Loong.

3. They must mate regularly until she conceive.

4. She must not turn down Thorin Loong when he desired to mate no matter where or what time it is.

5. She must not let another man, human or shapeshifters, touch her intimately or mate with her.

6. She must produce an heir or as many heirs as Thorin Loong wants.

7. When pregnant, she must protect the baby at all costs and not indulge in any activities that could harm the baby.

8. If she accidentally lose a pregnancy at no fault of hers, she will not be penalised.

9. All of the heirs that she produced will belong to the Heaven's Descent Clan and the Loong family. She must never engage in a custody battle for any of them.

10. She will have to leave, without taking any of the heirs, if Thorin Loong no longer needs her services.

11. She can still visit the heirs any time that Thorin Loong agreed to but she will have no control or any say in their upbringing whatsoever, forever.

12. All of her living expenses will be cared for throughout her service for Thorin Loong.

13. She will be rewarded with $10 million for every heir she produce.

14. She will receive $5 million the moment she mate with Thorin Loong for the first time, thus making this contract official.

15. She will be penalised by a punishment deemed suitable by Thorin Loong if she break any of the conditions in this contract.

16. The signing of this contract does not make it official, she can still change her mind at any point of time, right till the moment she mates with Thorin Loong.

17. She will not receive any compensation if she or Thorin Loong cancels of the contract for any reason, before they mated.

18. She cannot cancel or back out of the contract once they have mated and must continue to adhere to the contract.

19. She must not disclose the contract, the terms of the contract and anything about dragon shapeshifters to other humans.

20. Failure to comply to any conditions on the contract will mean the harshest punishments to be decided by Thorin Loong. Thorin Loong can also add other terms and conditions as and when it suits the situation.

She looked up at Jessica. This effectively meant that she will be that old dragon's baby making machine until he throws her out. But then, $5 million for her virginity….that's quite a high price they placed on her. She find that quite a confidence booster. Not that she planned to sell her virginity. She isn't some high class prostitute offering up a bid for her virginity. And $10 million for each child. That is the highest priced child trafficking rate she has ever seen.

This is almost like child trafficking since she is practically having babies and selling them to him. At $10 million each. And the children will not technically be hers too. She is just the sow to produce the piglets for him. That was quite insulting, actually. A highly priced insult. An insult with a $10 million price tag, that was so tempting, it will be hard to say no. She read number 13 and 14 again. Yup. She will be a multimillionaire just sleeping with that old dragon and having his babies. No hard labour required…well, maybe except for the actual labour to delivery the babies.

"Okay, fine. Since I can rescind my agreement to this contract at any time, I will sign it for now," she said. She picked up a pen that Jessica had placed on the table. She wrote an additional condition to number one.

1. She must live together with Thorin Loong at all times and be allowed to come and go as she likes instead of being locked up like a prisoner.

Then she signed it with a brandish.

"So, now, can I go out and be like a normal person instead of a prisoner?" she asked.
