Ash figures out what I’m doing, and next, he’s scanning the code and swiping through the other women just like me, his eyes peering above the rim of his phone.
What gets me is how utterly innocent she looks in the photos, which are often photoshoots the owner arranges.
In one, Bernadette is playing with a black Labrador in the park, grass clippings in her hair, her smile as radiant as I’ve ever seen on a woman.
That mouth of hers gets me so hot picturing it around my dick.
“How old is she, Ford?” I can’t find her stats because I’m busy looking at the photos.
Her age doesn’t necessarily matter. She wouldn’t be here if she was under twenty-one. But...if she’stooclose to my daughter’s age that will give me the creeps.
“Twenty-six,” Ford says, bracing himself.
I swipe back and stick my phone under Ash’s nose. “Here, this blonde is a virgin since you asked for one.”
“I’m not spending one million dollars on a woman.” He shakes his head. “Virgin or not.”
“Gentlemen, we had a deal,” Ford sneers.
“Right, we can’t fuck her.”
“Unless she wants it,” Ash says, smiling at Ford.
“I’m in.” Women don’t say no to me.
“So am I.” Ash finishes the Grey Goose and turns that wicked smile on me. “Just try to outbid me. I dare you.”

BERNADETTE
Ford escorted me through a series of doors, the final one, a richly carved mahogany threshold that read:Club Dare.
After depositing me into a lounge with a dozen other women, he bent down to press a kiss to my forehead.
“Good luck, sugar.” With gasps and heavy sighs fogging up the room like smoke, he left me just in time for the auction to begin.
We gather and make our way to the stage set up in front of a large room that smells of money and whiskey.
Heart pounding and nerves shot, I step toward the stage where the bidders can see us.
See me.
I’ve felt invisible my whole adult life, but I’ve never felt so exposed as I do now.
Numbers were randomly picked, and I’m third up to be auctioned.
As much as I don’t want to be first, I want to get it over with.
Over the excited buzz of the well-dressed men out there, ready to buy a woman he’ll fuck all month, a metallic male voice comes through the speakers announcing that the bidding will soon begin.
The room quiets and all eyes fasten to the stage. Several on me.
Fear strangles me, and I grip the red velvet curtain behind us to steady myself.
“Are you okay?” a voice calls out to me from behind.
Glancing that way, I’m face to face with a stunning blonde, and I worry if people will hold out for her.
