“Um, yes?” At the sight of the “base,” her knees almost buckled.
“You’ll be fine. Just remember that it’s all for charity. Mr. Callum’s favorite charity benefits from this.”
Charity? People were having sex in cages for charity? Holy crap!
“What charity?”
“Children born with physical and mental disabilities.”
Oh, lord. Drex was…nice? She snapped out of her trance and glanced at one of the men. What the hell were they going to do to her? Screw this! She’d take Drex’s anger over whatever that metal thing was.
“No, really. I got lost on my way to the ladies room. I’m not really here for the, um, base thingy there.” Either they didn’t believe her or just didn’t care. Were all the women here going on the base too?
The base was a metal recliner thing with a round cushion that looked like the arm of a sofa one would lean over. There was no way out of getting on that thing short of admitting to being a party crasher.
“What exactly is this base thing for?” Shiny bars and thick cushions created an awkward-looking chair, and she wondered what kind of hell she’d walked into.
“It’s to display you for the auction.”
“Display how?” She gulped.
“Show you off.”
“No public sex, right?” Please, they just had to say no.
“Is that what’s worrying you? No, there won’t be any public sex.”
Oh, in that case, display didn’t sound too bad. Thank goodness. For a sick moment, she’d thought they were going to ask her to have sex in public like the people in the cages.
Draped over the cushion face down and on her knees, her arms were chained to a bar above her head while her legs were locked into place with leather belts. The position left her ass high in the air and open for view. Warm air caressed her ass and pussy. Oh, good lord. This was probably why they’d ask the women not to wear underwear. Her mask fell off her face just as they pushed her out onto a stage. She was so fucked.

Anger rolled over him in waves. Drex had seen Chris not a moment before and then lost her within the blink of an eye. Rage and concern warred inside him. It served her right if she got into some kind of trouble, but the thought of another man touching her made him furious. He should’ve known she wouldn’t keep her nosy face out of the party. Now he had to go find her before she did something stupid.
Ready to step into one of the side doors, he stopped when the lights flickered. The auction was about to begin. He ground his teeth in frustration. He needed to get his hands on Chris, but the auction was what brought in the real money for the night. Female celebrities put themselves up for auction and on display. Whoever bid the most money would spend the rest of the evening with the lady. Anything went after that, if she was agreeable.
In every auction there were those women who only wanted to be bought just to see how much money they could raise, but soon found themselves at the mercy of their owners. Usually, the situations were resolved by simply replacing the woman with a willing one. It wasn’t his norm, but he was tempted to ignore the auction in favor of finding Chris. He clenched his jaw in irritation. She’d been the bane of his existence for as long as he remembered.
Ten years her senior, he’d been disgusted with himself for allowing Chris to play havoc with his body. All he had to do was look at her and he’d end up getting turned on.
Infuriated, he grasped at the metal door handle. The base was brought out to the stage. And on it was the only woman ever to make him want to strangle and kiss her at the same time. He recognized the butterfly and Kiss This tattoo on her sexy ass from a mile away. Instantly hard, his cock jerked in his pants. The abrupt roar of bids made him turn his head to the side. All around him, numbers went up in the air as her price rose through the roof.
A signal to the auctioneer and the man knew she was his. No matter what the highest bid ended up being, she was off limits. One of his assistants gave the base a twirl, and he was looking right into her face. She hadn’t seen him, and he took a moment to watch her. He should’ve listened to her. That sexy body was not the one of a little girl. Delectable in every way, her curves were that of a luscious woman. At twenty-six, she truly was all grown up. Emotions he’d fought the past ten years to suppress came to light. He wanted her. Now. Tonight.
Not a hint of nerves were visible on her face, but he knew she was scared. Her fingers were curled around the handles in a white-knuckle grip. It was clear she had no idea what the auction entailed. He split his lips into a smile as he stalked off to give instructions for taking Chris to his bedroom. He gave detailed orders to his assistant to take her to his room, feed her, and tie her to his bed. She’d wanted to be part of the party, now she was the star attraction. For tonight, he owned her.
A while later he was able to make his way toward the bedroom wing. In the hallway, he encountered a miserable-looking Cole. Anger was clear on his face. Drex wondered if he knew about Chris.
“What’s going on, Cole?” Hands in his pockets, he fingered the key to his bedroom. Arousal surged at the thought of what waited for him. He’d been notified Chris had tried to talk them into letting her go, but in the end she’d been tied to his bed.
“I just met an incredible woman, had an amazing time with her, and left her in my bedroom.” His tux was a mess, and his hair was wet. He must have just been in the shower.
“That doesn’t sound like such a bad deal, bro.” In fact, if he had his way he’d have Chris at his mercy in a few moments. She’d asked to be treated like a woman, and he had no qualms with that any longer. Fuck, right now he was all for treating her like an adult.
“It wouldn’t be, if she were still there. I asked her to wait while I took a shower, but now I can’t find her anywhere. It’s as if she vanished into thin air.” He growled and fisted his hands.
“So, just go call her out.” It was one of the ways they had to get in touch with a guest whose party had lost them.
“I can’t.” Cole groaned and leaned into the wall.
“Why not?” As much as he wanted to comfort his best friend, he really wanted to get Chris naked. Naked, sweaty, and fucked.
“She said no names, and she wouldn’t take her mask off.”
Fuck, that sucked. “Well, you know that’s one of the things we promise when we have the guests sign a waiver.”
Cole kicked his heel lightly against the wall. “Where are you off to? I thought you were supposed to spend the night with Kelly?”
The mention of his latest bed partner made Drex curl his lip in distaste. Kelly Windsor was a mean-spirited bitch. Her good-girl routine had been an act. After they’d dated for a few weeks, he’d decided not to waste any more time with her.
“No. I’m done with her. Been done for a while. Now she just needs to get it through her head that things aren’t going to go the way she wants just because her daddy is rich and powerful. I am rich and powerful too.” Unfortunately, he’d already invited her to the event for the evening.
Cole smirked. “She’s pushy, that one.”
“I know.” Drex’s anger started to rise. He’d managed to dodge her, but he knew she was looking for him.
“Good luck getting rid of her.”
“She’s already been forgotten.” He grinned. Still, Kelly made it hard as hell for him to get his hands on Chris when she kept popping up everywhere. Thankfully, she had no idea where his private quarters were.
Cole raked his fingers through his hair. “I need to find my woman.”
His friend had the look of a cat high on sweet cream. “Why?”
“She was unbelievable.” He sighed.
Drex laughed. Whatever she’d done, the woman had screwed with his friend’s head. Had he not been so preoccupied with Chris from the moment he spotted her red hair, he might have been more helpful to Cole. The burgundy mass had been like a beacon to him. “You’ll probably have better luck finding someone new.”
Cole gr
oaned. “No, I want her. I know it sounds stupid, but there was something about her that made her different.”
He knew all about that. Chris had been driving him crazy since she’d turned seventeen and started wearing miniskirts and bikinis. Back then, he’d always thought he’d end up arrested for fantasizing about a minor. Damn annoyed at the jailbait, he ended up pissed off and took out his frustrations on the sexy teen. If she was around, he’d been an ogre to her.
If he hadn’t seen the way she’d looked at him in his office, he’d never have believed it. All signs that she’d been aroused by him were evident. It’d been hell not to take her then and there, but he needed to know for sure. Tonight, the waters would be tested.
“Well, if you’re that desperate, go through the security videos and see if she’s still here.”
Cole’s gaze jerked up to his. A smile lit his face. “You’re a genius!” He slapped him on the arm and took off, headed for the security level.
Now it was time to have some fun. A low chuckle left his lips as he walked toward his bedroom.
Chapter Three
Chris was ready to kill somebody, preferably one Drex Callum. He’d made it a point to ignore all her calls for help. She’d twice sent a man to find him and all he’d said was, “Mr. Callum apologizes, but he is busy at this time.” What the hell was his problem with her? He knew she was there and now some guy had bought her for the night. But he had looked so sexy in the tux. The tight points of her nipples ached and swelled. Disgust over her body’s reaction to him made her growl.
She was tied to a bed for fuck’s sake. On the positive side, at least they hadn’t stripped her of the tiny dress and her legs were still free.
The sound of the door opening had her jerking her gaze to the entrance. There, looking so good it should be illegal, was Drex, and he was smiling at her.
“Oh, thank God it’s you. Hurry up and get me loose before whoever bought me gets here.” Alarm filled her. She hadn’t finished speaking, and he was already shaking his head in a negative.
“You know I can’t do that. We have rules here. I told you not to come tonight. Told you not to do anything you’d regret.” He smiled, locked the door, and then removed his tux jacket.
As usual, temper got the best of her. “I don’t regret coming, you dick. What I regret is thinking you were here to offer some kind of help. So…what? Are you just going to leave me tied here for some jerk to try and fuck me? At the mercy of the sick bastard who bought me?”
Was it wrong to wish he hadn’t noticed how hard her nipples had gotten as soon as he’d walked in the door? Fire shot through her veins at his proprietary look. He raked his gaze up and down her body before fastening on to hers.
“Hmm, yes. I think I will.” While watching her, he took off his cuff links and dropped them on the dresser.
Lust shot straight to her cunt. “What…what are you doing?”
He formed his lips into a feral grin. “Undressing.” He popped open buttons and slid the white shirt off to reveal his wide, powerful chest. He shifted, his muscles flexing under his smooth bronzed skin. Her fingers itched to touch. He threw his shirt to the side, which left his top half fully revealed.
Moisture pooled in her pussy. “What…why?”
Heat pricked under her skin. Her gaze drifted to his waist, where he was unbuckling his belt. She gulped and looked up at him. He twisted his lips into a devilish grin. “I’m the sick bastard who bought you and the jerk who is going to fuck you.”
Well, damn. Never in her wildest dreams had she ever come up with this scenario. Sure, back when she’d been a teenager she’d had a stupid crush on Drex, but then he’d turned into a jerk and she’d quickly gotten over it. Now though, he was not acting the jerk. In fact, every deliberate move he made only enticed her to want to know what else he planned to do.
Excitement hurled through her body. “Don’t be stupid. You don’t even like me. Quit messing around and let me loose.” The words ended in a small whimper as he continued to strip. Her body hummed in need the moment his pants came off. Arousal slapped her in the gut when she saw his long, thick erection pointing straight up.
He strolled to the bed. His muscular, powerful legs flexed with each stride. There didn’t seem to be a single ounce of fat anywhere on him. Unbidden thoughts of checking out his ass made her crane her neck to the side.
“I never said I didn’t like you.” He trailed his long fingers up her foot, calf, and higher to her thigh with every step he took, “In fact, I want you. Have wanted you for a long time. More than want you.”
Shivers crawled up her spine. She whimpered softly. “Don’t tease.”
He hovered above her, only inches from her face. Rugged masculinity oozed from him. “I plan to do a lot more than just tease you.”
A quick flutter of their lips was her first taste of him. Looking for a deeper touch, she lifted her head off the bed, but he moved his lips to nuzzle her neck. Her lids dropped as his warm mouth trailed up her ear.
“I’m going to fuck you for all the times I’ve wanted to but didn’t. Fuck you until I am the only man your body recognizes.”
She moaned as his words turned into images of their twined bodies in her head.
He licked the shell of her ear, twirling his wicked tongue in circles. “Do you want me to? Want me to fill you until you can’t see straight?”
For the first time since she’d been an infatuated teenager, she wanted to be his. Past her lips before her brain had enough time to stop it, she groaned the answer. “Yes, please…I want you.”
In a blur of movement, he drove his fingers through her hair and held her in place while he consumed her with his lips. He held her entranced. The kiss was firm, overpowering her mouth, much to her delight. He slid his tongue expertly into the recesses of her mouth, exploring, teasing, and taunting her. Whimpers tore from the back of her throat with each nibble he bestowed on her lower lip. In leisurely torture, he stroked his hands down to lower the deep V of her slinky mini dress. Cool air kissed her already taut nipples. He squeezed her tender flesh and rolled one nipple between his thumb and forefinger. The calloused skin of his fingers added to the rough quality of his touch.
“Oh, yes.” She was purring.
Wet heat dripped from her slit, down her thighs. The sensual assault on her mouth paused, moved down her collarbone, and renewed at her breast with more intensity. A few quick flicks with his tongue and she was on fire. Each stroke on the sensitive skin brought a new wave of ecstasy on the swollen bud. He groaned, molded her other breast with his hand, and sucked the turgid nipple deep into his hot mouth.
He caressed between her thighs, lifted the short material of her dress up to her waist, exposing her to his touch. Breaths turned to pants when he parted her pussy lips and traced a finger over her wet entrance.
“You’re so wet. I have to taste you.” The rough gravel of his voice triggered more than urgency. It triggered desperation. A hunger she’d never had for anyone before.
“Yes, please. Fuck me, eat me. Do whatever you want; just make me come.”
He took his mouth and hands off her body. She cracked her lids to stare as he kneeled between her thighs. Once there, he lowered down to his belly. Inches from her fully waxed mound, his eyes turned a sapphire blue as he gazed at her dripping sex.
He licked and nipped at the quivering flesh inside her thigh. “I intend to make you come. Over and over again.”
He hovered over her needy clit, and she could feel his breath. Her patience snapped. “Then hurry the fuck up already and stop talking.”
Instead of action, all she got was a low chuckle against her thigh. She growled and then whimpered when his tongue did a straight run from ass to cunt and lapped at her cream.
“Oh, my God.”
Loud moans rushed past her lips. He rubbed two thick digits over her wet clit, slowly slid around her entrance, and pierced her with his fingers. She panted. The feel of his lips surrounding her clit, licking and su
cking her swollen flesh, turned into one of the most arousing experiences of her life. He flicked his tongue mercilessly over her bud and pumped his fingers in and out of her in short fast thrusts. Any inhibition she might have had was lost as her body unraveled with each flick of his tongue.
“Yes, yes.” A surge of pleasure rolled through and over her. Her pussy muscles contracted around his fingers as ripples of aftershocks slammed into her in succession. He licked at her cunt, slowing his fingering of her pussy to drag out her climax.
Air fought its way into her lungs when he moved up her body. She opened her eyes to peer into stormy dark blue. He clenched his jaw tight as he lowered his body over hers. The feel of his hot hard muscles made her skin sizzle. Their lips met in a blazing kiss. She tasted herself on his lips, and the heat inside her turned into a molten inferno.
“Please…”
The wide head of his shaft pierced her pussy lips and entered her slowly. She whimpered.
“Fuck, you’re so tight. Wrap your legs around me.” In a slow slide that stretched her muscles, he worked his cock into her.
She wiggled her hips. He groaned and stopped. He greedily latched on to and devoured her lips. He slid his hand between her legs and then stroked his finger over her clit. She moaned and whimpered as more of him filled her until he was fully embedded in her. When he rocked his hips and she groaned, he smiled.
“Oh, God. Move, please.” Urgency filled her voice as she rolled her hips.
He gritted his teeth. “Fuck, baby. I won’t be able to hold back.”
“Who’s asking you to. Move, dammit!” She lifted her head to suck on his bottom lip.
After the quick kiss he pulled back and then crashed back in. He groaned with each slam into her pussy. Again, he thrust and withdrew until she was left panting.
She moaned as he increased the tempo and pounded into her faster. “More. Harder…faster.”
She screamed in pleasure as he drilled into her in short, fast glides. In and out, he fucked her in rapid, harsh thrusts. Every slap of skin brought her closer to ecstasy. Tension gathered until it broke, and she screamed his name as she came. Her vaginal muscles contracted around his shaft. She was still riding the pleasure wave when he slowed, cursed, and grunted into her shoulder as he came inside her. His dick jerked in her pussy while they both tried to catch their breath.
