Getting more nervous, I watched as other players grew close to their goal. While I was studying Trey and his playing style, Keaton suddenly called fifty. I almost jumped, but wasn’t surprised when he turned to me. I gladly opened my bag to him and let him rummage, watching him give me a smug grin. Not even looking, he held out the cube to me, his grin getting even wider.Looking down, I saw a small symbol on it of what appeared to be a pussy. I raised my eyebrows as he placed it on the table.Before I could process that Keaton had won me and seemed to know that’s what he’d do, he had taken my hand and led me away from the game table.I gave him a shy smile as he moved us both towards a slightly more enclosed seating area. As I thought about what was about to follow, I felt an eager, tight heat forming in the depths of my body, spreading out as he ran a hand down my back.“You’ve been delightful today, Auralia. Daniel knew what he was doing when he chose you,” Keaton whispered as he pul

As I walked out of Keaton’s area of the club I tried not to let my emotions show. I’d just been asked to open my legs to who knows how many men at a party for Keaton, and already that morning I’d been screwed by him and one of his friends. I had a feeling that there would be more of the same the following day.It was almost too much to cope with, and I felt my heart rate increase and my body wobble, my feet not responding to my need to walk. Edward reached out surreptitiously and steadied me for half a second before continuing to walk by my side.The subtle sign of care helped calm me. I had an ally even if he would want to screw me soon as well.He was also my protector as much as he could be, and I’d never forget how he’d stopped other guards taking advantage of me and forcing me to pleasure them by claiming me as his particular courtesan among the court. We’d already spoken of it and he’d turned me down, but instead of letting the others hurt me, he’d changed his mind and stepped in

By the time Stuart was near his peak he was thrusting much faster, his hands on my hips to hold me tight against his cock and drive himself deeper. The sensation was beginning to beg for all my focus, heating me up and driving me towards my own peak.Before I could orgasm, however, Stuart pushed deeper still and held himself there, letting out a deep guttural groan as his cock throbbed and spurted cum into me.I was too surprised by the suddenness of it all to even contemplate faking anything of my own, but if Stuart minded, he didn’t show it. Within seconds he’d pulled himself out of me, already softening.“That was definitely better than I was expecting, Courtesan. I can see why you’ve been the talk of the city. I’d love to enjoy your company again sometime. Come chat to me if you see me around in the future and I’m not already engaged,” he said.I nodded, still not sure what to do next. How much attention was I meant to give him when he was done? Was I meant to be encouraging him to

By the time I’d finished eating I felt a million times better. The soreness inside me had faded, as had my fear of being alone. Tomichii was back and Katrina was nowhere to be seen, another companion having escorted her off somewhere.As soon as Tomichii had appeared he had sat down in front of me and ordered himself some food as well. We’d eaten together and he’d told me how much progress Kioshi was already making with their research and adaptation of the system that had healed me since I’d given them samples of my blood.I gave him one of the only genuine smiles of the day as we both sat back, one appetite sated at least.“It’s good to see you well, my sweet,” Tomichii said as soon as I put my knife and fork down. “I was concerned. You put so much effort into your unveiling.”“I rested well after, and you were all such darlings at my unveiling. I’m sure it wasn’t as much of a.. well... You were all wonderful and everyone has been so nice to me today…” I trailed off, not sure what to

Back in the car, I could finally think straight.“What now?” Edward asked. “Have you earned enough to return to the court without Daniel going nuts?”I shook my head. I needed another eighty-five unless I used my tips. And that would only be enough to break even. It wouldn’t help repay any of the massive amount of debt I had.“Go to the restaurant. I’ll see if I can find James, or some of those other men that sometimes hang around.” Although I said the last part, I didn’t entirely mean it. I didn’t want to find anyone else. Just James. He understood so much more. And maybe he’d have a few credits to spend and get me over the amount I needed. I didn’t need a lot more.I knew I couldn’t go back to Daniel making a loss, though. I just couldn’t. But the thought of having to keep going made my stomach turn. I wanted to go home, such as it was. I didn’t want to be out late desperately looking for someone else to have sex with so I didn’t have to face the wrath of my creditor. And it felt awf
