Sold!

Molly

I freeze, my heart beating erratically! Can I do this? Oh, my god what was I thinking! “That’s you, sugar,” Barbie says, gently grabbing my arm. I smile seeing a familiar face, but I am panicking inside.

“Just go out there. All you have to do is sit in the chair and read the book, okay?”

I nod, slowly standing, “Britney? Are you having a moment?” The bidder asks. “It’s not another breakdown, isn’t it?” The Billionaires laugh and Barbie smiles, pushing me forward.

“Go, it’s easy.” She reassures me.

I nod, slowly walking on stage. The lights are so bright I can barely see, but the auctioneer greets me, placing is hand on the small of my back as he guides me to a sofa that sits on stage, “Here, sweetheart, have a seat.”

I sit down, trying to pull my skirt down enough to cover myself, but I soon realize I can’t. My hands are sweaty, and I look beside me at the book, picking it up.

“Are you okay, Britney?” The auctioneer asks, putting the microphone to my mouth.

I smile nervously, “Yes,” I say. “Just nervous.”

“So, your happy to be here? You want to continue?” He asks, looking at me with narrow eyes.

I realize he is giving me an out, but as scared as I am, this money literally means everything to my family right now. Olvia needs her treatment, and my parents can’t lose their house.

“Yes, I want to continue,” I say, slapping I smile on my face. “I have just never done anything like this before.”

The auctioneer smiles, “Good, let’s read your bio and see if they agree.”

I knew they would have a bio, but I also didn’t know this would be like a game show. Honestly, it makes it a little more fun, but terrifying at the time same time.

“So, Briney, it says here you are a student,” I nod, as he grabs another microphone and hands it to me.

“I am majoring in pre-med,” I say, making sure I don’t see anything to personal like the school name, ect.

“I see, smart and a beauty,” He grins at me and the billionaire’s chuckle. “I think its fair to say we all know anatomy here and what you are offering so, let’s skip the rest of it and start the bidding at eighty-thousand-dollars.”

My heart jumps into my throat-- what if no one bids.

“80k, a see a hand raise, another one raises 85, 90, 95, 100, 130….” It stops. My heart is racing.

$130,000! that’s an insane amount of money.

“Going once, going twice…”

“One hundred and fifty thousand dollars!” someone yells, and I squint trying to see them, but it’s so bright, I can’t see a thing.

“SOLD!” The auctioneer yells and I smile nervously as he takes back the microphone.

“You can exit this way,” he whispers. “Barbie will meet you on the other side and you will go to a room so you can see who has bought your virginity,” I nod, slowly getting up and walking to the door.

Barbie greets me and I exhale, loudly, “Oh, My God,” I whisper and she smiles, looping her arm in mine, warmly.

“Okay, Mr. Mosey has bought your virginity,” she tells me. “I think he is rather handsome, and I have never seen him act anything more than a gentleman,” she smiles. “You got lucky,” she whispers. “There are some older gentlemen who bid that like to live out their twenties,” she chuckles

I giggle nervously as she walks us towards a door. I watch as it opens and Eddy steps out. I stare at him floored and he smiles at me,” I told you, “He says, a grin on his face.

I watch as he walks past us and Barbie smiles, “That’s Eddy, Mr. Mosey’s best friend.”

My mouth gapes as we reach the door and she pauses, fixing my hair, “Remember, if you decide not to, you can say no, but that also means you don’t get the money.”

I nod, taking a deep breath, “Okay.” But I feel like a fool. Did this Billionaire do this out of pity? I shouldn’t have spilled my guts to Eddy… but I did.

I mean, should it matter? It shouldn’t but it makes me feel ugly. I have never been wanted or popular.

Barbie stands to the side, and I walk in the door, seeing a man standing at the wall, his back facing me, “Here she is, Mr. Mosey,” Barbie says, her voice cheerful.

I watch as he turns around slowly, my heart racing. What if this is someone I know?

I let out a breath as he turns, and I don’t recognize him, but shit—he’s fucking hot.

“Have a seat,” he says and I nod, sitting at the table that’s been provided in the room.

There is an awkward silence for a moment, and I sigh, opening my mouth to talk when he interrupts me, “My name is Tanner Mosey,” he says, smiling at me. “And you are Molly Hale.”

“That’s me,” I say nervously and he nods.

“I know you saw Eddy, and he told you about this place and you, but I need you to know I don’t care about your sister or your financial status.”

My eyes widen, “What?” I say, feeling not just offended but angry.

“You heard me,” he says casually. “I bought your virginity. Those things don’t matter to me. This is transactional, nothing more.”

I stare at him, anger starting to fill me, “So, why do you need to buy someone’s virginity, then?” I ask coldly. “You aren’t ugly, and you are rich, you must get laid a lot.” I say, crossing my arms over my chest.

He smirks, playing with a pen on the table, “Oh, I do,” he pauses, “But most aren’t innocent virgins like you. Most are trying to trick me into getting them pregnant, so they have my wealth and power.”

My mouth gapes and he nods, “Exactly. I wanted someone I could mold for a night. Someone who isn’t going to trick me….and I promise, you won’t be let down.”

I swallow the lump in my throat, my heart racing—why did that just turn me on?

“So, when do we do this?” I ask and he smiles, grabbing the contract from his briefcase.

“Tomorrow night, I need you to have dinner with my family,” he says casually. “We will be going out to Tico Grande.”  

My eyes widen, “That place is very expen-,” I begin but and he smiles, cutting me off.

 “I will send a stylist to your house, don’t worry. My image is very important. Afterward, we will get a room upstairs,” he pauses, “But you must do what I say, you must allow me to have you any way I want...”

I inhale sharply, nodding, “I agree.” I say, my eyes staring right into his.

“Good,” he smiles, passing me the pen and contract.

I sign it quickly and pass it back, “What time tomorrow?”

“She’ll be to your house at 4:30.”

My parents are usually at the hospital anyway… no one needs to know anything.

“Perfect,” I say and he nods, leaning closer to me.

“Trust me, it will be…. I won’t waste your virginity like some science nerd,” he whispers in my ear, making me clench my thighs.

I watch as he gets up and leaves the room…. My heart racing and my body aching with desire.

What the hell just happened? How did that cocky asshole just turn me on like that?

I sigh, as Barbie comes back in the room, handing me my things, “Here, you can get dressed but check your phone. It has been blowing up.”

I pull it from my bag, thinking it must be Eden being silly, but I gasp as I see 20 missed calls.

All from my mom.

“CALL ME ASAP. Its Olvia and it’s an emergency!”
