Page 11 of Bought by her Boss

“Depends on the bidding, but it would be a lot of zeroes.” Amusement laced her voice.

That statement made hope flare inside me. Could I really find a way to get ahead? To stop worrying about money? To breathe a little easier.

I decided to stop over-thinking and just do it. “Okay.”

“We’ll go shopping tomorrow to get you ready.”

Ready? What did I need to do to sell my body? “Ready how?”

“You’re going to need the right outfit.”

I frowned. “What kind of outfit?”

“Leave that to me.”

I huffed out a breath, a little relieved I had her here to give me the information I needed, and to guide me along the way. The last thing I wanted was to make a fool of myself. “Is there anything else I need to do to get ready?”

“Maybe,” she murmured as she contemplated what I’d need to do. “Maybe I should just come over. I’m guessing you’ve never had a Brazilian?”

I winced at her statement. “I’m a virgin. I’ve never had anyone.”

“Oh, my sweet summer child,” she said with a light bit of laughter. “You have no idea how much you need me right now.”

“I’m home if you want to come over.” I really did need her. I had no idea what I was doing.

“I’ll be there soon.” There was a pause, then. “Jessica?”

“Yeah?”

“I don’t know what is going on with you or why you need so much money, but I’m here if you want to talk about it.”

I did, but I was scared to open up, to show my sister in a bad light. I sighed. “Thank you. You’re already doing everything I need by getting me into this auction.”

“Love you, girl.”

“Right back at you.”

I hung up and tapped my phone against my chin, unable to believe I was really going to go through with this.
