The Brothers' Virgin Captive by Jenika Snow Page B

experienced the acts. Whoever bought her today would do with her as they pleased. She would be at their mercy, and Anna would be lying if she didn’t admit that she was frightened beyond belief. This was the day she had dreaded, a life of servitude if she was purchased by a cruel husband. Of course that wasn’t always the case, and she could only pray to whomever would listen that she was graced with a kind and caring husband who would treat her as his partner and not just a sexual object.
    “Anna Milovich of the Milovich estate.” The announcer sounded robotic and automatic, as he did with every virgin placed on the block. She kept her gaze lowered and her hands clasped behind her back. The thin silk robe that covered her shouldn’t have made her feel so incredibly warm, or maybe it was the fact she was nude beneath it and in mere minutes every man in the building would see the most intimate parts of her body? The robe was untied and a second later pooled at her feet. Despite the intense heat that surrounded her, her flesh tightened, and goose-bumps lined her arms and legs. The knowledge she was on full display had embarrassment coursing through her. Of course it would only get more humiliating and degrading when she was asked to present the area between her thighs.
    “This virgin comes from a pure blood-line and is certified a virgin. Breasts are a full D cup, and frame is a sixteen.” The attendant then proceeded to cup her breasts, displaying them as if they were melons being inspected for ripeness. She was instructed to assume the display position, and Anna’s heart jackknifed in her chest. She went onto her back and brought her knees to her chest. A wave of heat flooded her entire body at the knowledge these strange men were looking at a spot on her body no one but her and a female physician had ever seen. She really shouldn’t have been so embarrassed by this, for she had been conditioned since her eighteenth birthday on the sexuality she was to exude, but that didn’t stop her from closing her eyes and wishing the proceedings would end. With her eyes closed her senses came alive. The wood beneath her was smooth and cold, and the air brushed along her exposed folds. For several long moments nothing was said by the attendant, but she could hear the hushed murmurs of the men in the audience. Since she turned eighteen there had been more bids placed on her. It was a kind of reservation for the chance to be the first to bid. Anna never understood the way the auctions worked, and found them disgusting and barbaric, but this was the only world she had ever known.
    Even lying here on the cold ground where so many others before her had stood, all she could think about was maybe things would work out in her favor. Maybe the life that she was about to embark in would be filled with love and compassion? Her life thus far had been a cold, cavern-filled world with strict rules, hard regimens, and a mother and father who had counted down the time until she stood on the block ..
    “Do you realize that you were put on this planet for only one reason, Anna?”
    Her mother’s words played in her mind like a broken record.
    “You were born for one reason, and one reason only, and that has nothing to do with love. Do you understand, Anna?”
    Her mother never spoke to her as if she were her daughter, never even uttered that word. Despite her father calling her that on occasion, it was more of a title and less of an endearment.
    “You will do nothing other than what you are told. Anna, if you truly wish to please Alexander and me, you will keep your mouth shut, perfect your training, and make your future husband never regret purchasing you.”
    Anna pushed those vile thoughts from her mind. That had been the extent of her mother’s words for as long as she could remember. Her father was the same, and Anna had grown used to the cold, detached conversations they occasionally had with her. No, she realized, any life other than
