My cheeks heat at the bluntness of his question and going by the satisfied grin on his face, he already knows the answer. His closeness has me thinking of Dash’s accusation followed by the threat he issued. However, when I accused him of being jealous, he denied it and taunted me instead.
Out of nowhere, an idea forms in my brain, which just might backfire on me if gone wrong. I also know my instincts have never steered me wrong.Except once. Besides, when your back is against the wall, you have nothing to lose.
Keeping my eyes pinned on a smug Justin, I slowly take a sip from my glass. Inching closer, I softly say, “Actually, I was hoping to see you.”
Justin looks stunned for the first time and I have to hide my smile. It doesn’t take him long to recover and the flirty expression brightens his blue eyes.
“Is that right?” he lowers his voice, running his tongue between his teeth. His tone indicates he knows I’m lying but he decides to play along.
I don’t care as long as it ends up in my favor. “Yes, and you wanna know why?”
His head tilts and he shrugs. “I won’t lie, I'm curious.”
“Because Dash threatened me to stay away from you,” I reveal while flipping my hair back. Finishing my drink, I boldly declare, “And no man tells me who I can and can’t date.”
“So you want to make him jealous?”
“No. I want to teach him a lesson that his threats don’t scare me.” Rising from my chair, I ask him, “So the question is, are you in or not, Justin?”
“It’s not even a question, beautiful.” He winks and stands up, grabbing my hand as he leads me inside to the main area. “In fact, I’m more than happy to.”
Chapter Fourteen
BIANCA
The club is still as beautiful and sexy as I remember. My eyes take in the large crowd gathered in the sitting area as men have their drinks while women sit on their arms. Their greedy fingers grip the women’s thighs, some bold enough with hands underneath their skirts. Unlike last time, the debauchery is not contained to the private rooms.
It takes me only a few seconds to realize there’s a party happening tonight.
Thick desire and anticipation pulses in the room. The hungry gazes, the low hum of people talking. It causes heat to rise in my belly while curiosity burns in my veins.
When I notice a makeshift stage in the center, I look at Justin questioningly, “Will there be a performance?”
His arm circling my waist pulls me closer to answer over the music and chatter. Laughter dances in his eyes like I asked something funny. “Yes, but not the kind you’re thinking, and first there’s going to be a bidding.”
My gaze widens and I nervously ask, “Bidding for what?”
“Women.”
I shudder racks through my body, unable to believe I heard him correctly. It explains why all the men are so eager and lascivious. “Isn’t that illegal? Do the women know?”
“It’s all consensual and the women are aware they’ll be sold for the night. Women love the fantasy while the men love the chase and the competition,” he explains with a seductive grin. “The illegality of it only adds to the thrill, beautiful.”
When I look around, I notice the same excitement in the women’s gazes too, and I realize Justin isn’t lying. They want to be up on that stage and bought by men. “So the bidding will be happening on the stage?”
“No. That’s for later when the man with the highest bid fucks the girl he bought in front of everyone.”
“Oh my god!” the words spill past my lips before I can stop it. Just when I think these men can’t get any more depraved, they do. The shock slowly evaporates when another emotion takes root inside me and I go completely still as I blurt out, “Is Dash participating too?”
“He’s done it before,” replies Justin, his sharp gaze focused on my reaction. “Though I doubt he’ll be doing it tonight.”
My brow furrows at the insinuation and I laugh, “Why? Because of me?”
An unknown emotion flickers on Justin’s face before it’s gone. He pockets his hands casually and speaks in his carefree tone, “He will deny it but he wants you, Bianca.”
“I-I don’t believe you.” I shake my head and he remains quiet.
Justin has to be wrong because if he isn’t, then shouldn’t Dash have said yes to my proposal? I was handing myself on a platter to him, not that I would’ve let him have me. Then there’s also the jealousy I felt behind his threat. The madness in his eyes before he ruthlessly denied it. Could it mean that he actually wants me if I want to believe Justin?
