I dabble in a lot of things, but the auctions are one of my favorites. While Dawson specializes in virginity auctions and we take our cut, it doesn’t mean we don’t sell other types of sex. In fact, it’s what were known for.
We have men, we have women, we have men who are now women, women who are men, anyone and everyone. We respect them all and give them what they want. But we also protect them by giving them the means to live out their fetishes and fantasies. In return, we make a lot of money.
I watch as the auctioneer calls our first offering to the stage. It’s a woman with long legs and raven-black hair. I know her story. She’s a sex addict but refuses to work at a brothel. I didn’t find her; she found us. She’s a regular here and very respected. She has on a black wrap dress, and she walks in circles around the auctioneer as she describes what she’s after—a man who is willing to fuck her every day for two weeks straight. Looking around the room, I see a few men smile and nod approvingly.
Before I drag my gaze back to her, I spot River sitting at his table. He pays no attention to the beautiful woman on stage because he’s watching me. A slow and steady smirk touches his lips as we lock eyes. I’m unable to look away. Those eyes of his are mesmerizing even from a distance. I wonder, if I plucked them out and put them in a glass jar, would they still have the same effect?
Probably not.
Could I sell them for a fortune?
Most likely.
We stay in this heated staredown, neither of us moving first. The bidding continues around us, and when a winner is announced for the raven-haired woman, the next person comes on stage. I’m about to break contact when he suddenly stands, his eyes never leaving mine as he makes his way over to where I am. My chin angles slightly higher as he comes to a stop in front of me. I can sense Vance’s and Clay’s restlessness behind me. However, they remain stoic and have their hands clasped in front of them.
Even with my heels on, River towers over me, but I’m not one bit intimidated. I’m just pissed off by the way he looks at me. As if it’s some honor to have drawn his attention.
I hate him.
“Pleasure to see you again, Tanya.” He smirks, and I grind my teeth at his use of a name that is not mine. I say nothing, just stand there with our eyes locked. “You don’t greet people?” he asks with a hint of sarcasm. “You’ve been avoiding me even after I paid my dues,” he says, and again, I say nothing. “What does a man have to do to get your business?”
“You have a business, if I’m not mistaken,” I finally say. He steps up a little closer, and smelling his musky cologne sparks my senses. Fuck, he smells good. Pity the man wearing it is an asshole.
“I do; a very successful business, which seems to be impacted by a certain redhead with an ill temper.”
“She sounds like a hoot,” I bite back.
“More problematic than most,” he’s quick to shoot back. “But one thing that can be agreed on is money. This is now impacting my money, so I wonder what other avenues I might have to take.”
“Is that a threat?” I ask.
He smiles, then leans in and whispers near my ear, “No, dear. It’s a promise.” He pulls back and looks over his shoulder at the stage.
I sneer and turn my back to him as Clay pulls out my chair.
River cocks up a smile, as if expecting my rude dismissal. I watch the stage for a minute, trying my hardest to ignore him before shooting a foul glare in his direction.
“You plan to bid?” I ask him.
“Isn’t that what we’re all here for? But my tastes are a little more fine-tuned,” he says, looking down at my breasts. It unfurls a certain amount of satisfaction through me, and I hate it immediately. “How much for you?” he asks.
I throw my head back and laugh. His gaze is on me as I wipe away genuine tears. This fucker is more deranged than I gave him credit for. I calm myself and stand so we’re only inches apart, our bodies almost touching. Those cold autumn eyes seem amused.
“You couldn’t afford me, Lake. Now, go and sit down, or I’ll have you escorted out for not bidding.” I take a seat again and cross one leg over the other as I stare at him pointedly.
Unfazed by my guards who stand close by, he rests his hand on the table and leans into me. I don’t move.
“It’s such a shame, Tanya. The only thing I can imagine right now is those flushed cheeks of yours as I bend you over this table and stuff you full with my cock.”
My jaw clenches, and my nails dig into my arms as heat floods my stomach, the visual more stimulating than it should be.
He then casually leans back with his hands in his pockets, that arrogant smile cocked as he takes a few steps back and turns for his table.
Fucking asshole.
