Before I sell myself to the devil, I have to see my mom just in case anything happens. Scarlett is so sure that all will be okay, but honestly, I don’t even know who Scarlett really is, either. I am beginning to have all these doubts about my decision, but I keep tossing them aside. This really is the only choice that I have left. I cannot go on the way I have been. The elevator dings, and the door opens. I greet the desk nurse, as always, and head straight to my mother’s room. The first thing I notice are the flowers. I smile and make my way over to mom’s bed, grabbing the chair as I pass it. Even the room smells nice from the floral arrangement. “Hello mom. I have some news to tell you, and you are not going to be happy about it, but it needs to be done.” I glance toward the door to make sure it had shut behind me and then I take her hand, “I made the decision to sell my virginity. I will be going to the auction house tonight and a buyer will offer me no less than o

(4 Hours Earlier) Unknown I’m sitting in my office when there is a knock at the door. Without waiting for my command, one of my colleagues and best friends, Merrick, enters and takes a seat in front of my desk. He doesn’t say anything, so I wait until I am done typing up the last paragraph for the project that I am working on, before turning my attention to him. “What is it?” I ask, annoyed. “It’s really happening this time.” Merrick informs me. “What do you mean, it’s really happening?” I sigh heavily. Merrick likes to annoy the fuck out of me when he has information that may be important to me. “Your girl, Aria. Her Bio just went up on the Scarlett’s Treasures website. She will be at the auction tonight.” He furrows his brows, knowing how this is going to affect me. My heart feels as though it stops for a moment, “You’re sure about this?” I can’t believe that she would actually go through with it. My guys have been keeping tabs on her for the last few years,

Being here with these two men, and listening to them tell me what they are expecting, has me more nervous than I have ever been in my life. It is also making me tingle in places that shouldn’t be tingling. I sold my virginity because I felt I had no other choice, but now I am not sure that I can go through with it. I don’t know which one plans on doing the actual deed, but I feel as though neither of the two men in front of me will be gentle if they were to take it. Which only leaves the third friend, the one that I have yet to meet. Movement catches my eye as Jory moves to stand behind me. His body is so close that I can feel his heat on my back. He leans down and brings his lips to my ear, “One more thing, Aria. We like our woman naked at all times.” My head whips to the side so I can see his face to see if he is joking, but all I see is him raise an eyebrow. I try to speak, but no words form. I close my mouth and then open it to try again, but still, nothing. I feel the

It turns out that it will only be the three of us eating breakfast at the table this morning. Merrick received a text saying not to expect their friend to join them, but that he would like for one of them to escort me to his office once I have finished eating. Merrick gave me permission to stand and take the seat beside him, but he wouldn’t let me feed myself. Frowning the whole time, I open my mouth every time he brings the fork towards my mouth. I felt like such a baby. I really hope he doesn’t have some kind of daddy fetish, because I will have to walk if that’s the case. There is no way I’m going to act like a baby and call him daddy. Well, calling him daddy could possibly be hot, but not in that setting. When he’s finished eating, Merrick pushes his chair out and stands up, “Jory will take you to the office when he is done, Baby Doll. I have a pressing matter to attend to, but I will be back in a few hours.” I look up at him and admire him in the light blue button-down dres

Knox (cont.) There was no intimacy between us up until this point, and that was okay, because we were both fine just being around each other. We had discussed it, though. I was moving away, and she wanted to give herself to me as a going away present, but I couldn’t do it. She was only sixteen. I didn’t want her making that decision only because I was leaving. It’s not that I didn’t want her, God knows how many times I went home and jacked off in the shower after spending an evening in her presence. I go back to my earlier thoughts of our last day together, and the promise that she made to me... (Flashback cont.) I check out Aria as I hold the car door to my Monte Carlo open for her. Spring is still a few weeks away, so there is a chill to the evening air, but that didn’t stop her from wearing a sleeveless dress that hugs her perfect figure. It reaches to right above the knees. It’s deep blue in color that matches the blue in her eyes. She paired the dress with a croppe
