Winning Her Heart - Page 94

He gave me a short, one-page release form and a pen. It asked simple things like my name and date of birth, just to cover his ass and make sure I was legal. It was still more than I would have imagined at such an event. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad after all. At least Sebastian seemed like a professional.

“There you go,” I said, sipping the folded form into the inside pocket of his suit jacket, taking special care to caress my hand across his chest.

“Thank you,” he said, lust burning in his eyes. “You will get eighty percent of any bids you get. The other twenty goes to me as a finder’s fee.”

“Sounds great,” I said, flirting shamelessly.

It seemed crazy, but I was actually starting to look forward to the auction. Play-flirting with Sebastian seemed to awaken my inner sex kitten despite my lack of practical experience. Something that would soon be addressed.

“Are you able to bid?” I asked, batting my eyes as my voice went husky.

“Oh, no, not me, I’m the auctioneer, though there are lots of handsome, rich guys here who would love a night with you.”

“Flatterer,” I teased.

I could feel the rage coming off of Jayden in waves.

Most of the guests had left before the remainders started to gather around the fireplace for the auction. There were no women around except for those to be auctioned. We all lined up to one side of Sebastian’s podium and went up to stand beside him as we were called over to be auctioned. Some other waitresses were there with me, but I’d never seen most of the women. I was relieved not to see any of the younger servers there. I wasn’t exactly an expert, but from what I could tell, I was the youngest one there, and the only virgin from what Sebastian had said.

The three girls ahead of me went up one by one. The first sold a kiss for fifty dollars. The second had put up a date and got five hundred. The third sold an evening with her where the bidder could ‘do as he liked.’ She fetched nearly ten grand in bids.

Through it all, I could feel Jayden’s eyes on me as I moved ever closer to the podium, waiting for my turn to be sold to the highest bidder. He looked strangled with desire and even love. I really hoped he would buy me despite all my silly tactics to make him jealous. I wanted to punish him for thinking that he owned me or that he could just use and dump me, but I also really wanted him.

“Next up, the enchanting Krystal, who is twenty-one and offering the chance for one very lucky, and generous, gentleman to pop her sweet little cherry.”

I approached the podium and stood in the spot, my heart jumping up into my throat. There were still several people there for the auction, many of whom gasped at the sight of me, but I only had eyes for Jayden.

“Let’s open the building at - ”

“Ten thousand dollars,” Jayden hollered before Sebastian could finish.

“Right, ten thousand dollars,” Sebastian said, looking flummoxed. “Do I hear eleven thousand?”

I was shocked at the amount but also pleased. That would definitely help with my business. There would be a professional website for sure, and it would keep me in the top quality supplies for a couple of years with lots left over for a marketing budget.

“Eleven thousand dollars,” said another man.

Encouraged by the attention as well as the money, I decided to do a little strip tease to get the bids even higher. I was skilled with both dressing and undressing. It came along with running a costume business, and I’d also volunteered as a costumer for the local amateur dramatics society. Even so, the elaborate costume made it a bit of a challenge to strip down single-handed.

Doing my best to make it look easy, I dropped unbuttoned the top two buttons on the main dress and shimmied out of it. The action left me wearing my under layer, like a short slip, over the more risqué garments. The outfits were sexy, but I also took the other waitresses into account, making them as comfortable as possible to wear, which included not flashing their panties every time they bent a certain way.

“Thirteen thousand,” shouted a man in the back when the main dress hit the floor.

I coyly pulled down one of the straps on the slip, showing my bare shoulder. I thought Jayden might actually start drooling.

Chapter Fourteen - Jayden

She might as well have stabbed me in the heart. It hurt so much to see her going up to that podium. I wanted to slug Sebastian for what he had said about her ‘sweet little cherry.’ She was mine, and I should be the one to take her virginity.
