    this,” Blaine Cedric groaned, lit his thin cigar, and slumped in one
    of Devon’s leather chairs.
    “Samara, meet Blaine Cedric,” Dane said.
    Blaine Cedric is a dark man. That was the first impression
    Samara got of the man who took up a whole leather chair. He had
    dark eyes, dark hair, and a body that spoke of power. But even
    though he gave the impression that he didn’t like to be bothered
    with shit, his eyes told another story. She saw loneliness in the
    cocoa depths.
    “A pleasure,” Blaine stated those eyes of his giving her the
    chills. He looked her up and down before turning his attention to
    Dane. “Aundre Esopo. He’s Greek. He’s nasty. And he’s one
    fucked up perv.”
    “How the hell do you get this shit?” Devon asked with a shake
    of his head.
    Blaine crossed one leg over the other, shaking his hanging
    ankle. “Money talks, bullshit walks. And I have a lot of money to
    get people talking.”
    “You need a hobby,” Dane remarked.
    “Here you go.” Kera handed Blaine a cup of coffee and a
    friendly smile to Samara.
    Blaine took a sip and cringed. “I don’t want to sound
    ungrateful, but honey, this sucks.”
    Samara snickered and took the cup from him, “Let me. I feel
    like a damn third wheel anyway.” She went into the kitchen and
    began to get to work at brewing up a fresh pot.
    “You okay?” Kera asked.
    “Yeah, I guess. No!” She stopped and turned towards Kera. “I
    don’t know what the hell is going on anymore. Not that I ever did.”
    “I can’t say that I understand what you’re going through, but I
    can say I understand the helpless feeling.”
    “I just wish I knew what it was my father had planned for me
    and Makayla.”
    Kera smiled. “Oh, you will. I have discovered quickly that
    when it comes to finding shit out, those dipshits in there are damn
    good at discovering secrets. Come on.”
    Samara picked up the cup and took it back to Blaine. He took
    it, sipped, and a sparkle lit up in his eyes. “Wow. She’s good.” He
    took another drink, then a drag on his cigar. “Okay boys and girls,
    here’s the deal. Aundre Esopo likes them young, fresh, and he

    doesn’t really give a shit if it’s male or female. He pays high dollar
    for what he wants, and he paid a one Ryland Tabor over ninety
    thousand dollars cash for special treats.” Again his eyes landed
    on Samara, and Samara moved over to Dane.
    Devon whistled, Dane swore.
    “Oh, and it gets better,” Blaine added. “Darius is also looking
    into shit. He found out that Esopo has taken Cameron under his
    wing.”
    “Yep, it just keeps getting better and better,” Devon grumbled.
    “Darius also told me that a rumor was going around. Esopo
    was going to give something special away, but that something
    slipped through his fingers.” Once more he looked at Samara.
    “Guess we all can guess what happened to that something.”
    “What’d you mean give something away?” Dane asked.
    Blaine took a deep breath, moved the cigar around in his
    mouth, and linked fingers together over his chest. “What it means
    is a very high end auction has been set up. Cash has been
    flowing in and out of the bank like water in a waterfall. But there is
    a snag in the deal that Esopo has set up. From what Darius has
    heard and what I’ve learned, Esopo is only a middle man. He
    answers to someone else and that someone wants five virgins for
    his little party. Right now, he only has four.”
    “And I was supposed to be the fifth,” Samara said softly. She
    pulled out of Dane’s arms, turned, and left the group. She couldn’t
    stomach it anymore and needed some air.
    “Samara,” Dane’s voice was soothing, but not enough to get
    rid of the dirty feeling she had. He followed her out back, which
    she knew he would.
    “I bet he’s going to put Makayla
