I sat down on the bench beside her and rubbed my hand over my face.

‘We just can’t be a thing. You need someone your own age who can explore everything with you. I’m not the right guy for that. I’m at a different point in my life and I need different things.’

She took a slow, steady breath before speaking pointedly to me.

‘I was asking for you to fuck me, Logan. Not to marry me and fill me with your little mafia babies. I want you to chase me through the woods, catch me, and fill me with your cock so hard I cry. I’m not asking for roses and chocolates. I’m asking to get to experience dirty, harsh, primal fucking with someone who is safe. Who isn’t going to hurt me outside of the limits of the game. Someone who wants me to leave sated, knowing that he gave me what I wanted, and took what he wanted in return. I know what I want, so stop putting these notions of more into my mouth. There’s only one thing I want you to slip between my lips and it’s not your stupid ideas about me.’

Silence stretched between us as she held my gaze, fire burning in those hazel eyes. Still, I didn’t want to be leading her down a path she could not follow.

‘I can give you the money for the auction. You can take it and go home and no-one will ever know. Most girls go for thirty to fifty thousand, and get half. I could have the fifty in your account by the time you packed your bags. You don’t need to do this.’

‘I don’t want your money, Logan. I told you I have my own. I’m offering myself up to you and you keep rejecting me, yet last night you were burning for me. Is it me? Don’t you want me?’

‘Fuck, no, Valentina. I’ve wanted to get my hands on you since the minute you popped up on my laptop. You’ve been on my mind, you’ve invaded my dreams, I’ve thought about pinning you down and claiming you more times than I can fucking count. I want you crying and begging and squirming beneath me while I show everyone that you’re my toy to break. I want to fucking possess you, baby girl, and that is why it’s such a terrible idea. If I didn’t want you, it would be all the easier to play.’

She licked her lower lip before getting to her knees on the bench and reaching out to caress my lower jaw. Inching closer, her breath was warm against my cold cheeks.

‘Then buy me, Daddy, because if you don’t, I’ll be screaming someone else’s name tomorrow morning.’

I tilted my face, my lips grazing her neck as she let out a whimper before standing up.

‘See you later, Logan,’ she said, as she turned and left me, picking her way through the wet grass and stony paths barefoot.

My erection and I sat a while longer, deciding what to do about the pile of trouble that I’d let into my life.

He was all for finding any way possible to get back between her thighs, but every part of my brain told me no.

A tale as old as time.

Cock vs brain.

CHAPTER TWENTY THREE

VALENTINA

‘I’ll toy with you for a little while to garner some reactions. It’ll drive up the excitement and thus the bidding. Remember, you can still use your safe word if you are uncomfortable at any point.’ Alfie walked back and forth amongst the ten of us going through with the auction for the chance to hunt us. He smiled at me, looking far more devilish than reassuring.

The noise from the great hall was making my stomach churn. It was one thing to have played here and there during the few days I’d been in the castle, and a whole other to be put, naked, on the podium and be made to perform for everyone.

My plan was to find Logan in the crowd and focus solely on him. To let the rest of the crowd fall by the wayside and beg him with my eyes to buy me. To chase me. To take me.

It had to be him.

The fire behind me crackled, making me jump. The heat caressed at my calves and behind as I waited for my turn to be displayed.

Alfie disappeared repeatedly, one plaything at a time. Cheers and laughter and yells arose behind the doors, muffled by the time they reached me.

What if no-one bid on me?

The thought made me want to heave. I’d die of embarrassment.

Finally, at the very end, after waiting in the side room for more than an hour, it was my turn.

Alfie took me gently by the fingers and ran his other hand down the side of my face.

‘Don’t worry, little demon, I’ll make them fight for a chance at you.’

‘Is Logan there?’ I asked, ashamed at the desperation in my voice.
