“Fifty.”

The glare was ferocious, animalistic.

The guy with the long hair shook his head.

“Fuck you, Braxton. If you want her so bad, you take her. I’m not wasting my money when I can get a piece of ass for free.”

“I always get what I want, Cal,” Braxton said. “You should know that by now.”

“Dickhead,” Cal said and turned his back, sauntering away.

My ears rang louder when the gavel dropped, and the deal was sealed—I belonged to the man with the amber eyes.

A murmur rippled through the crowd. I was escorted off the stage and taken to a VIP section where Braxton—my new owner—and a few others waited for me.

Up close, Braxton was even more delicious to look at. His shirt clung to him like he was doing it a favor, his jeans hung off his hips just right, and under his beard, he had a square jawline. Deep-set eyes, a nose straight as an arrow—he was built like agod.

My rabbit was drawn to him, but in the back of my mind, my human voice screamed at me.

This man bought me. This man owns me. What does he want with me?

I could stop it if I wanted to, I decided. I’d killed before to save myself. I hated myself for it, but if it came down to me or them, I would choose myself.

I would kill again.

He took a step toward me, and his power pushed against me. My rabbit responded and pushed back.

Fear coiled tightly inside me, but my rabbit’s power was bigger than my human fear.

He raised his eyebrows, but he didn’t say anything to me. Instead, he turned to a young blonde woman who flanked him.

“Get her something to wear so we can get out of here.”

She nodded and smiled warmly at me.

“I’m Uma,” she said. “We’ll get you covered up and home in no time.”

Home.

Could it be home if I belonged to someone else now?

Hellwas the word that came to mind instead.

BRAXTON

Fuck. Me.

Everything about her was hot.

Perfect curves, a sweet face, dark brown hair, and eyes the color the sky was named after. Her fear was palpable, but something underneath it was strong, defiant.

I liked that. It made me want to pin her down and take control. It made me want to get her to submit.

“Are you happy?” Cal asked after Uma took the rabbit away.

Kinley, they’d said her name was.
