He shook his head. “No. But sometimes people have that effect from drinking the Dinvorian wine.”
 
 Wonderful. I have no idea where I am. I don’t know who I am being taken to, and now I’m drunk.
 
 “Eyes shrink, eye seep.” My words slurred and my tongue felt thick inside my mouth as my eyes drifted closed.
 
 I felt something moving me, and the caress of soft hands, then I was left alone to dream.
 
 My eyes fluttered open, and I saw myself wrapped like a mummy with my breasts left uncovered in the mirror above me. Beside me, another person was wrapped the same.
 
 Their eyes were open, and they were looking at me.
 
 “I’m Ian.” His deep voice sounded scratchy.
 
 “Kayla. Why are you here?”
 
 “I’m a gift.” He smiled. “Just like you, from the auction.”
 
 “Were you kidnapped?”
 
 He laughed. “Hell no!” His laugh turned into a snort. “I volunteered.”
 
 “They kidnapped me.” I frowned. “I was on my way to apply to go to Xa’Karth.”
 
 “Um, Kayla?” He wrinkled his nose. “We’re on Xa’Karth.”
 
 “I know. My captors told me that.” I sighed.
 
 “If you wanted to be here, what’s the problem?”
 
 “I wanted to see what the planet was like for myself. Not be forced here.” My voice sounded petulant, even to me.
 
 Ian made a sound of disgust. “Look, where I lived sucked. Food was scarce. People were hateful and I could barely make ends meet. This is the best thing to happen to me.”
 
 “That sounds terrible.” Sadness flowed through me. “I had a good job. A nice place. But I was a ghost.”
 
 “A ghost?”
 
 “Yeah.” My body shook on the bed. “I had no family or friends and no one cared if I was there or not.”
 
 “Well. Kayla.” He smiled at me in the mirror. “This is the pleasure planet, and you and I are gifts for a couple.”
 
 “Is that why we’re tied up?”
 
 “Now you’re getting it.”
 
 Ian’s blue eyes sparkled with excitement. His tan skin looked perfect, and his pink lips framed bright white teeth, and his dick was hard and ready to go.
 
 “At least the people who kidnapped me didn’t mute me again.” I couldn’t move my eyes from looking at his thick cock, that he was making jump and bounce.
 
 “They gave me the switch for yours. So don’t think about ruining this.” His eyes narrowed. “I’ve been waiting to be chosen, and now that I am, nothing is going to ruin that for me.”
 
 A strange beep sounded, and then I heard two voices interlaced with laughter.
