Chapter 2 " The Biggest Lance

Murilo 

I knew myself well enough to know that I was an extremely competitive man, and the truth was that I never entered into something to lose. 

And that night was no different.   

When my cousin invited me to accompany him to a club for drinks, I quickly accepted. I had no idea that the club I had been invited to offered very "unusual" services.   

Aquiles invited me to participate in an auction and I just accepted out of curiosity, since he did not tell me what the auction was about. 

When there were only a few minutes before the main attraction that was going to take place in that hall was about to begin, since the Season Hot club had other rooms, I saw my main competitor, Ethan Constantino, approaching the table next to ours.   

We had been business rivals and had become declared enemies when my fiancée left me to be with him, just a few months ago.  I still hadn't swallowed that story and it was choking in my throat, that was the truth.   So when they announced the beginning of the auction and I saw four beautiful young women enter the stage, I couldn't believe what was about to happen right before my eyes.   

"I can't believe you dragged me to an auction of women, Aquiles!" I said, feeling very upset.   

I would never have agreed to take part in something as clumsy as what was about to happen at that moment.  

"You wouldn't have come if I had told you" Aquiles answered, scornfully.   

"Exactly! I can't collaborate with this in any way.”  

"Silence." The man sitting next to us said and I noticed that a woman who was acting as the auction host was introducing the beautiful young women. 

The auction began and was in a very simple mold, with each person who intended to bid holding up a sign with a number, which I understood was to identify each one, probably so as not to use people's names, and shouting values as a bid.  

Despite the anger, I decided to see how far it would go and one of the young women caught my attention immediately.  

She had been referred to as Summer and I could well understand why. She looked stunning in a strapless red dress that left much of her beautiful breasts showing.  When she moved, the slit in the dress also exposed her wonderful legs and I couldn't take my eyes off the red and well designed mouth she had, although I couldn't see her face properly, because they all wore masks.  

"Beautiful and a virgin to boot!" Aquiles spoke next to me and I realized that he meant the brunette in the red dress.   

"How do you know she's a virgin?" I was intrigued.   

My cousin let out a laugh that caught the attention of those at the neighboring tables and several men motioned for silence.   

"Because it's a virgin auction, that's why!”   

I was so intent on admiring the stunning beauty of the young woman that I paid no attention to the words of the woman who introduced the girls. How could such a lovely girl be selling her virginity in an auction? I asked myself, feeling anger take over my emotions.   

"The bidding is open for "Summer"!" The woman spoke into the microphone and soon some men were holding up a sign with her ID number and shouting values.  

"Two hundred thousand!" I immediately recognized Ethan Constantino's voice and the anger increased even more.   

I thought about where Bruna was at that moment, that cheater I once called love, and if she knew that her future husband was attending virgin auctions, even offering high bids.  

Before I could control myself, I was picking up one of the plates with a number on it from the table and I threw myself into the fray as well.   

"Three hundred thousand.” 

I didn't want to go along with it, but I could never let Ethan take over the beautiful brunette who had managed to stir my senses just by looking at her. 

"Four hundred thousand" He countered my bid.  

A dispute had begun at that instant, where the stakes were not only who would bid the highest, and I was willing to pay whatever it took, but Ethan Constantino would not leave that club with another victory over me.  

After a few more bids from both parties, I offered one million Reais, and then Ethan seemed to finally give up, not increasing his bid, and a feeling of triumph spread through my entire body, because this time I was the winner.  

"For one million Reais, number thirty has just bought the beautiful Summer!  

The woman confirmed on the microphone the asset I had just acquired, I thought cynically.  

"For someone who was lecturing me, I'd say you got in on the joke pretty quickly" Aquiles spoke in a debauched tone. " But I know your motivation very well, and the girl is not among them.”  

"Your insight is admirable" I spoke with irony.  

In fact, my cousin was wrong on one point. The beautiful brunette in the red dress was not only among my motivations for entering into a confrontation with my only enemy, but I would say that she was the main reason.  

The fact is that I became interested in her as soon as I saw her and would not accept in any way that he ended up with one more of the things I wanted. While that was not the best way to win a woman over, the situation she put herself in was solely responsible.  

"Today's auction is now closed. Thank you all for your participation and enjoy your evening.”  

After saying this, the presenter left the stage, followed by the four "seasons" and only then did I look in the direction of my rival, who returned the look with obvious hatred.   

I didn't know how it came about, but it was clear that he hated me and wanted everything that belonged to me. I flashed him a pleased smile that made him look like a loser, and I looked at the stage again, not knowing what the next step should be.  

"What should I do now?" I asked my cousin, since he seemed to know how the place works very well.  

"The highest bidders should look for Pamela, the hostess. She is in management. Just go through that door.”  

I did as my cousin told me and after talking to Pamela and paying the amount I had bid, one of the waitresses was called to take me to the girl I had just won at auction.  

Although bizarre, I felt a tingle of excitement at the thought of the beautiful brunette, but tried to contain myself. This was not right, and I should not go down that path.  

All my good intentions fell away as I passed through the door indicated by the waitress.  

I had been led into a bedroom, which had a large canopy bed in the center of the room and the beautiful brunette in breathtaking lingerie was standing next to it.   

This was too much for me. She was naturally tempting and was wearing only a black bra with embroidery and gold ribbons that showed a good portion of her full and perky breasts, as well as tiny transparent panties, which allowed me to see extremely clearly the triangle in the middle of her legs, which showed a list of pubic hair that would make anyone fall at her feet.  

"Hi" That was all I could say.   

Even behind the mask, I could see that she had big eyes, which stared at me with a certain fear that eventually unsettled me.  

I couldn't go through with it. 

"You really don't have to do this, Summer.”
