Chapter 21

 Sleep was impossible for Dao-Ming as she lay next to Shen. She knew all too well the reason for the wild screams coming from the new shipment. She wondered how many Wadim kept and how many were to be sold. It was rumored that the buyers weren’t vampires. She’d heard Wadim ran a large slave and prostitute trafficking business and his buyers were prominent men and women from around the globe. The black man they called Stevenson was in charge of these transactions. She saw him only once. That was when she was taken. She knew immediately by the way the others jumped when he spoke that he was in a position of power.

The door silently opened and a guard stepped in. He sneered down at Shen before reaching over him to grab Dao-Ming’s wrist and pull her off the bed. Shen stirred and tried to grab for her, but the drugs sapped his strength for everything but making love.

The guard laughed and held her close to him while fondling her defiantly.
