I frown. "What does that mean?"
Kate leans against the wall and crosses her arms. "You're smart, and you're not afraid to be assertive when you need to be, but you are a virgin and you’re sheltered. This could be really dangerous."
“It can’t be any more dangerous than marrying Romeo." As I watch myself in my mirror, my courage grows. This is my way out. I'm sure of it.

ELENA
My resolve wanes as I sign up for the auction and am led to a room where there are other women, some who are chatting together and others who are primping themselves at makeup tables along one wall of the room. They're all beautiful and have an air of seduction around them, which makes me wonder if they’re really virgins. Perhaps all this is just about role-play.
My stomach rolls, and I’m seriously thinking about abandoning this idea. Kate is right. It’s stupid and possibly dangerous. I bypass the primping and stand in the wings of a stage where I see women, one at a time, saunter on stage to the whooping and hollering of men.
"She'll be lucky if she gets $3000."
I turn my head to the tall, redheaded woman standing next to me. "What makes you say that?"
"Her tits are too small, and her ass is too big." The woman adjusts the bodice of her dress so that the pink of her nipples is nearly showing. One wrong move and her breasts will pop out of her dress.
"You sound like you've been to something like this before." I can’t believe she’s a virgin.
She casts a glance at me as if she’s suspicious. "I'm a virgin. Just like you." Her hazel eyes take me in, and she smirks. "Well, maybe not like you."
I look down at my dress and then back at her. I came here needing money, but what if I'm not appealing enough?
"Don't sweat it, honey. I bet you'll get five or ten thousand. Maybe even fifteen if you keep up that wide-eyed innocence.”
“The woman who made twenty thousand?—”
The woman laughs. “Don’t get your hopes up.”
I bite my lip. Will this be worth it if I don’t make enough to leave home?
“God, you’re not just a virgin, you’re completely innocent. Did you grow up in one of those strict families?”
I nod.
“Well, don’t you worry. You’ll do okay. Better than most people here. And when it comes time to do the deed, think of your favorite crush. Do you have a crush? Maybe some movie star you would love to whisk you away and fuck you? Think of them in a sexual way. You know, fantasize, so at least you get a little bit wet down there. That way, it won't hurt so much."
I swallow the lump in my throat and look at the other women in the room and then back to the redhead next to me. "Is there anyone else here who is a virgin?"
She looks over my shoulder toward the room and then back at me. "Most of us are born-again virgins.”
Is that a thing?
“But yeah, there's always a few. But most of them have made out or watched porn. Have you watched porn?"
I shake my head. “The men don’t mind if you’re not a virgin?”
She rolls her eyes. " All they want is to fuck someone who isn’t their wife. You just need to act subservient and innocent. Let them do whatever they want to get their rocks off.”
“Why do you do it?”
Her eyes narrow. “Why are you here, honey? For the money, right?”
I nod.
"Nadine," a voice calls from the curtain.
