“Come with me,” Camila said, yanking on my arm again. “I need to introduce you to some of the other guys. I think they’re going to beveryinterested in getting ataste.”

Panic instantly surged through me at the thought of another man’s hands or lecherous eyes on me, and my knees turnedrubbery.

“I… I can’t….” I tried to choke out an excuse, but the words kept drying up on mylips.

“Come on!” Camila giggled and started dragging me across the room. “They’re going to loveyou."

“Stop.” A deep, familiar voice pierced the air behindus.

We turned to see Hunter standing there, glaring down at us. He’d affected a hoarse tone, and he sounded almost exactly like his father. He’d even managed to capture his mannerisms; the slight curl of disdain on his upper lip, the narrowed eyes behind the mask, and his stiffstance.

“I’m keeping the new girl for the evening,” he said, turning his withering stare toCamila.

Her shoulders hunched over, and her head bowed. “Yes, sir. Of course,” she murmured, releasing myarm.

Hunter reached out and roughly yanked me over to him, like I was a mere plaything and not a sentient human being. Camila and the other Medusa girls scattered across the room, lookingnervous.

“Sorry,” Hunter muttered against my ear. “I didn’t hurt you when I grabbed you, didI?”

I shook my head. “No, it’s okay. You had to doit.”

He kept a firm grip on my arm and slowly walked me around the room to observe other couples, pretending to be showing me all of the various sexual favors that would be expected of me while I accompanied him. In truth, he was aiming his chest at all of the men who’d already taken off their masks so that he could get a good, clean shot of their faces with the button cam as they played with the drugged youngwomen.

“See the guy with Hazel?” he whispered to me, nodding toward a slim gray-haired man with brown eyes and a smattering of stubble on his jaw. He was beneath Hazel on a red velvet lounge, hands tightly gripping her ass as she rodehim.

I nodded. “You recognizehim?”

“Yeah. That’s Theo DuPont,” he replied. “He owns AirAmerica.”

My eyes widened. “That’s one of the biggest airlines in thecountry!”

“Yup. Imagine what’ll happen to the share price when everyone finds out he likes to fuck high school girls,” hemuttered.

Theo suddenly caught my eye, and I shrank back behind Hunter, pulse pounding. Hunter feigned amusement and chuckled loudly before lifting a hand in a brief wave. The other man grinned and returned his attention toHazel.

“Don’t worry,” Hunter said softly, pulling me around to face him. “I’ve got you. No one else is gonna touch youtonight.”

We kept making the rounds at the party, getting the best and closest shots we could of every unmasked man. Hunter picked up a couple of pills from a silver tray at one point and handed one to me. “Pretend to swallow these,” he whispered. “It’ll make us look extra-convincing.”

I pretended to pop the pill into my mouth at the same time as him. In reality, I kept it clenched between my thumb and index finger, and then I tucked it into my bra as I swallowed hard and affected a slight grimace, as if the pill tastedbad.

“Good girl,” Hunter muttered. He directed me over to a black leather lounge in a dark corner of the room and pulled me onto hislap.

“What are we doing over here?” Iasked.

“We have to keep pretending to be part of all of this shit,” he said, peppering my neck with kisses. “If we leave early, people will getsuspicious.”

“Does that mean we have all the footage weneed?”

He nodded, one hand squeezing my breasts. “We’ve got at least fifteen unmasked guys, and I recognize almost all ofthem.”

“What about the ones we didn’t get?” I said, glancing around the room. There were still at least thirty who hadn’t removed theirmasks.

“Doesn’t matter. At least one of those fifteen men is bound to crack when the cops or FBI drag them in and threaten them with life in prison,” he replied. “And that’s all we need—one guy to crack, make a deal with the cops, and reveal the identity of every other guy in theorganization.”

I nodded, and then I shuddered and gasped loudly as Hunter’s hand came down on my ass in a hard slap. We kept playing in our dark corner, pretending to be getting up to all sorts of nasty stuff as the other partygoers screwed like bunnies, writhing and bouncing to the beat of the music. Everyone was so drunk or high that no one noticed we weren’t actually doing anythingreal.

An hour drifted by, maybe more. Finally, Hunter stood up and pulled me to my feet. “Looks like some people are starting to leave, so it should be okay if we slip out now,” he said. “Let’sgo.”
