Axel answers quickly. “Me either.”
“That’s not right. Dad will be pissed.”
We’re almost to the door. “Yep, but I’m claiming my destiny tonight.”
“Well…fuck.” Nova shakes his head. “Destiny it is.”
Are they seriously in this with me?

Myvirginityisnota commodity to be traded between men. My pulse pounds in my ears as I storm into the sex club, ask that I be added to the program, and join the other three ladies.
Bianca, Aurora, and Cindy are more than welcoming, even giving me a Christmas dress that will allow me to look as festive as they do—much better than my white sweats with ‘BRIDE’ written in silver down one leg. Aurora dusts me with body glitter. I love her for that, and I love that they don’t ask too many questions.
I don’t even have answers for myself. Like how did my father know I was still a virgin? And did he really think that it was appropriate to pledge my virginity as part of a business deal? If I hadn’t overheard their conversation an hour before the wedding, I would have played the part of a fool—blindly believing a gazillionaire would be interested in me.
Ick.
A shiver runs up my spine…and back down…a couple of times. So creepy to hear that I was part of a contract negotiation. Scratch that.Iwasn’t the important item—the tightness of my vagina was up for sale. That’s not okay. And that’s way understating things.
The auction proceeds chaotically, but I barely register any of it.
I have one mission tonight—prove that virginity isn’t a big deal. Sex isn’t a big deal. The only reason I haven’t had sex is that the moment, or rather the guy, never seemed right. I didn’t want to have a crappy get-it-over-with first time.
Based on last year’s auction, this is the perfect place to get my cherry popped while not worrying that I’ll end up with a crappy memory instead of orgasms.
I don’t want to admit that this plan has niggled in my brain for days, and I definitely don’t want to admit that the glimmer of it started weeks ago.
In retrospect it all makes sense—the little comments and awkward moments that started as soon as I accepted his marriage proposal three months ago. A switch flipped. Hints that he thought he owned me morphed from fun to troublesome.
When the bridesmaids lined up, and the music shifted to one of the only choices I got to make in my own wedding, fear of my future finally screamed loud enough for me to trust myself.
Ironically, the only thing scarier than the life my father had set out for me, is not having his support and his certainty. I’ve lived a precious life because of the legacy he’s creating.
But I didn’t understand I had to pay for it. I can’t imagine how furious he is.
A ruckus disrupts the auction and a faint rumble of motorcycles filters backstage. Cindy and I sort out that Aurora’s brothers are demanding she go with them. But my brothers enter, and I might have a bigger problem.
Are they going to drag me back to my wedding before I have a chance to complete my mission? They don’t like my father but they respect him. They would follow his orders to save the day.
The world is a blur as I step onto the stage. I’m aware that all of the other women were bought by their stepbrothers. If they get to live in a fantasy world, is it too much to ask that I live there too?
All of the hope that’s ever existed wells in my heart when the bidding starts. My brothers bid on me as a group. Knight is the one raising the paddle. The look of sheer determination on his face and the glare he gives anyone else who bids on me, leave me uncertain as to his motivation.
Nova’s expression is softer as always. It’s through the ease on his face that I sense they’re not going to take me back to the wedding.
And Axel? He would have come backstage and told me we had to leave. He doesn’t tolerate nonsense.
But if they’re not here to take me back, why are they here?
The auctioneer seems to be calling for a million dollars and other paddles continue lifting into the air. Knight’s lifting motion grows firmer each time. His scowl deeper.
Are they bidding to protect me, or… I almost hate to let Fantasy Wendy run wild…bidding towinme.
Is it foolish to ask my stepbrothers to claim my virginity?
