“How did they make you take the pill?”

“They said I either took it or they’d give it to Joe and this time he wouldn’t get a woman as quickly.” He explained who Joe was and what the kid had gone through. “The kid was so damn down, I was afraid of what it would do to him. So, I took it.”

“Let me see if I got this right. They told you that as long as you have sex within an hour of taking the drug, which is supposed to be in pill form, you’ll be okay and have no side effects? But if you take it and you don’t have sex, it turns painful and no amount of trying to take care of it yourself helps?” Bacon ran a hand over his scruffy jaw.

“That about sums it up.”

“What the fuck is this shit?” Bacon shook his head, completely baffled. “The possibility of potential rapes,” he couldn’t finish his thought. “And they gave you four doses before they gave you a woman?”

“Yeah. They threw Sadie in with me after they’d drugged her. It wasn’t until she started to feel some of the pain from holding out that I finally caved.” He shook his head. “No. That’s not right. As soon as they shoved her into my cell, it was only a matter of time before I begged her to let me fuck her.”

“How did you manage to hold out with four doses in your system?” Bacon’s voice was smooth and calming, no hint of judgment.

“I don’t know. Don’t get me wrong, after a certain point, I was trying to jack off just like those other poor fools. It didn’t work. Nothing but fucking someone helped. Swear to God, I thought and still feel like my dick is going to explode. I almost don’t care if it does just so it stops hurting.” And wouldn’t that be tragic? Unable to fuck Kylie ever again? Unable to give her a baby?

“How many times did you have sex with Sadie?”

“Goddamn it,” Darren’s fist pounded into the mattress. “I can’t believe I cheated on Kylie.”

“Under the circumstances, I think she’d understand. It’ll probably hurt her and make her sad, but at the end of the day, she’s still going to love you and be happy that your back.”

Darren grunted. He wasn’t sure he believed what Bacon was saying. He wanted to, but he just couldn’t get there.

“So, how many times?”

“Six,” he sighed heavily. “We did it six times and each time I came so fucking hard I thought I might black out. I thought after I came, the drug would leave my system, that I’d get some relief like everyone else, but here we are,” he pointed at his erection.

“Damn. I have a feeling we’re going to see a whole lot of Euphoria cases coming into the ER. I wish I knew what the chemical make up of this drug was so I could better figure out a way to treat you.”

“I think Race might be able to get it from Dillon. He had him look into it with some of his friends.”

“I’ll reach out to Dillon and see what he can tell me. For now, I can try and draw some of the blood out of your penis.” He got to his feet and reached for some gloves.

Darren started to laugh but saw that Bacon was serious. “Well shit. Might as well try it. Got nothing to lose at this point I guess.”

Bacon got out all the supplies he was going to need and went about draining blood from his dick. Darren clenched his teeth and fisted the sheets to keep from punching Bacon in the face.

“Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever thought I’d let another man handle my junk.”

“Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I’d be touching your junk, either.” He set the full syringe aside and reached for anther. “Honestly, though, being a doctor, I’ve had to do far worse than touch a man’s dick. You’ve seen one dick, you’ve seen them all. Besides, none of them compare to mine. So, there’s that.”

Darren chuckled and flinched. “Damn it. Don’t make me laugh while you’ve got a needle in my dick.”

“All done. I’ve taken as much as I can. You’re still semi-hard.” Bacon frowned at his penis.

“Gee, I’m not sure I like the way you’re frowning at my dick.” He paused and then asked, half joking, “It’s not going to fall off or anything?”

“No. No. It’s not going to fall off, idiot.” He stood up and disposed of his gloves. His phone vibrated in his pocket. He checked it, then frowned. “It’s Tuck. He and Kylie are in thewaiting room. Want me to bring them back so we can discuss all of this together?”

“You can bring them back and discuss whatever you want with them, but I won’t be here when you do.” Darren swung his legs over the side of the bed and pulled his sweats back up. Damn, he couldn’t wait to take a shower and change into some clean clothes. “Can you text Tulsa and tell him to come get me?”

“Where are you going to be?”

“I can’t go home like this. I can’t face Kylie and Tuck. I’m gonna go to the clubhouse for a while. At least until I can control my dick again.”

“I understand. If you have any issues, any at all, call me.” He texted Tulsa. “I’ll tell him to wait in front of the hospital and not to come to the ER.” He paused, then said, “He says he’s on his way.” He dropped his phone into his pocket. “I’ll give you fifteen minutes before I bring them back here.” He gave Darren instructions on how to get through the building so he could be waiting on Tulsa when he got here.

“Thanks. I appreciate it.” Darren slipped out and followed the route Bacon gave him. As it turned out, he only had to wait ten minutes before Tulsa pulled up out front. He rolled down the window of his car, “You need a lift?”
