Was I an asshole?

Absolutely. Mentioning her brother was a dick move, but it got me what I wanted. She wasn’t going to refuse.

Cadence was even more innocent than I suspected. When she said she was a virgin, so much blood rushed to my cock that the world swayed beneath me. I barely stopped myself from grinding my erection into her and claiming her cherry right there. Those big brown eyes staring up at me were so vulnerable, and the urge to taste her pouty lips drove the breath from my lungs.

Only the knowledge that if I did what I was thinking she’d never come back, made me step away. I’d told her the truth, as a virgin she was more valuable. Plenty of the sick fucks I worked with would pay top dollar to steal her innocence, and wouldn’t give a shit about her feelings in the matter.

And this was a business deal. I needed a finale for the auction, and she needed money.

I could tell she was surprised when I stepped back, and I almost reached out to grab her again when she swayed, but I forced myself to hold still. I couldn’t think with my cock right now. She owed us money, and I was giving her a way to make that money, plus make me more while she was at it. It was a win-win situation.

Except for my aching cock.

I called one of the girls from the back of the stage to show Cadence out. She was still standing where I’d left her, staring at me with a torn expression. Good girls wouldn’t agree to selling themselves, but she didn’t have a choice, and I was taking advantage of that.

If she hadn’t been a virgin, I could have sampled the goods. Could have pressed my advantage while she was torn and confused. Assured her everything would be okay.

I’d had an interest in her before, but that information was like waving a red flag in front of a bull. The thought of having to wait until someone else deflowered her made my fists clench and my erection soften, but an idea began to form. It wasn’t the best idea, but the more I thought about it, the more perfect it seemed.

The men that would be at the auction were cruel, they’d leave her broken no matter how strong she seemed, but I needed a grand finale, and having a virgin as the last girl up for bid was perfect. She also needed the money, because my dad was serious about not letting her brother get away unpunished. I may not have any siblings myself, but I could understand her drive to protect her family. I doubt she would accept charity, no matter how badly she may need it, and this way it didn’t feel like a hand-out.

Taking a deep breath as I watched her walk backstage, I knew there was no way I was letting anyone else get their hands on her. I’d decided Cadence was mine, and I was going to own her in every sense of the word, if only for one night.

I pulled out my phone, making the first call to set things in place. I couldn’t bid on her myself, that would be bad form, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t have someone bid on her for me. I obviously wouldn’t be making money off her auction, but I didn’t care. It’s not like we needed it. Owning her would be worth whatever it cost.

It took a bit of work to convince my cousin to attend the auction since he didn’t usually associate himself with the less legal parts of the family, but I pulled a few strings and got him to agree. He was one of the few I could trust to do this for me that the others coming wouldn’t recognize. I didn’t explain why I needed him to come, but I was sure he knew I invited him for a reason.

That handled, I went back to making sure everything else was ready. It took a lot to make this type of thing run without a hitch, and since our reputation was on the line, I had to be sure there wouldn’t be any issues come Saturday night.
