Raul was a bad guy. I mean, yeah, we all were to some extent. But he took that shit to a whole other level. The stories I'd heard over the years about that guy turned my stomach.

Apparently, he had a penchant for virgins. And he liked to play with his prey.

Not my thing.

At all.

Even if I ordered a girl from Ilona’s, I still made sure she had a good time. Yes, she was there to please me. But no, I didn't have any desire for her to have a shitty time just because I was paying her.

Obvious that this evening was a bust—I ended up folding and setting my cards down. “Well, gentlemen.” I stood and looked around at the men surrounding the table. “I’m done for the evening. Thank you for the invitation.”

Raul’s slimy hand grabbed onto my arm and yanked me back down. “Are you fuckin’ crazy, man? The main event is about to begin. And trust me. You don't want to miss it.”

The men all laughed and agreed.

“Sovrano. Sit your ass down. You ain’t goin’ nowhere.”

The lights on the stage started to flicker.

Christ.

Had they gotten strippers?

I was not in the mood for this.

Yes, I appreciated looking at a naked woman. But not in the company of a bunch of idiots.

“Gentleman, quiet down. The auction is about to start!” a man on the stage hollered into a microphone. Once again, the men all laughed.

An auction?

What kind of fuckin’ auction were they having in this dump?

Somehow, I didn’t think it was art.

“Help me welcome our first lady of the evening,” the man waved his arm out to the side. “Francesca. She’s a nice, tight, stacked virgin, my friends. One hundred percent verified by our very own Dr. McKay.”

Jesus.

Were these guys serious right now? They were auctioning off—women?

“Fuck, me. I’m outta here.” Right as I stood again—I saw—

Her.

Fuck.

No.

Our eyes met.

And so many unsaid things transpired between us in that moment—that it almost leveled me.

Christ.

What the fuck was she doing up on that stage?

My eyes traveled down her body—her barely covered body.
