My eyes zero in on a woman when the spotlight comes to rest over the top of her.
My heart feels like it’s going to burst inside my chest. Heat doesn’t just flash through my veins, it consumes me until everything else in my life is burned away and there is only her left.
Amethyst is wrapped in a deep purple cloak. Like the others, a hood covers her head but I know she hides under there.
Purple pools around her feet and the woman in nothing but a ribbon leaves everyone gasping.
Beside me, Samuel emits a low rumble of appreciation. I can’t blame him. She is the very essence of serene beauty. I’ll kiss her first and then…yes. I’ll make my beautiful wife pay for putting herself and our child in danger.
Pain pierce the armor I’ve erected around my heart. Amethyst always knew how to get around my shields. The glory of her beauty holds the ability to leave me in awe. The roundness of her belly, the way that ribbon ties around her ample breasts heavy with milk for our child. Another ribbon is tied to the one around her breasts and dips between her legs to hide her most intimate of areas.
She slowly turns, revealing how the ribbon is tucked between her cheeks. I’m going to enjoy pulling that off her with my teeth.
Hushed whispers carry from one table to the next as the auctioneer continues feeding information into the darkness.
“Unlike all the other jewels, this one is special.”
“Oliver.”
Samuel taps my thigh and juts his chin toward a man rising to his feet.
I ease a hand toward the weapon tucked inside my jacket.
“Five hundred million!”
When the man only belts out his offer before the bid officially starts, I pop the safety back on my gun and settle my hand over my drink again.
A pulse of erotic energy twines through the crowd. The Ritual turns animalistic and the basement club vibrates with a voracious hunger and it is all aimed at my pregnant wife.
“Settle down, ladies and gentlemen. Let me tell you Miss Amethyst’s qualities.”
“She breeds well!” someone else calls out and other men call out what they would offer to pay to own my wife.
My fingers tighten around the glass in my hand, and I feel glass crack.
“Easy,” Samuel warns.
“Miss Amethyst is, as you can see, heavy with child. She’s looking for a daddy who will pamper her, love her and care for her needs. In return she will carry your heirs. As you can see, yes, she is indeed very fertile. But the best yet, is the man she currently belongs to. Oliver Stone.”
“He should have kept a tighter leash on her. Seven hundred million and I will even send his kid back. But for that price I keep and breed the woman.”
With how dark it is here, no one realizes I can hear their retorts. The words roll off me. No one is walking out of here with my wife or child. I either buy her or kill them. Easy.
“Given her owner, her ability to breed well and the pristine honor it would be to own the very jewel of the most powerful kingpin of Chicago, the starting bid is five-hundred million.”
And the bidding war begins. Numbers climb and people push toward the front of the stage. It’s a fucking mad house and everyone is trying to put down multi-hundred-million-dollar bids on my wife. I almost hate to ruin their fun. I let it go on for another minute and then I turn to Samuel.
I nod, and he stands wearing a cocky grin. “I always wanted to spend your money for you. Too bad I don’t get to taste what I buy, too.”
The roar of the crowd is deafening. I can feel the thrum of lust and chaos to my bones. Samuel’s hand goes up and his voice beats out everyone else’s. “One billion. We can go all night but every single one of you fuckers will lose. No? No takers? Didn’t think so. Your dicks will never touch her.”
I keep my face hidden behind my glass of bourbon. I half expected him to play with the underlings a little, but he went straight for the throat. I can’t say I’m disappointed. The sooner we get Amethyst out of here, the better.
“Yeah, I didn't think so.”
The auctioneer takes care of wrapping the bid and when the gavel comes down, I feel like I can finally breathe again.
“Sold to table seven-one-three for one billion dollars.”
