“Fly.”
Laughter erupted. Adria’s jaw tightened. She raised her hand to quiet the room.
“It has to be something that is possible,” she said.
The man’s stare drilled into her. His tone changed. “Suck that one’s dick.”
This one Adria couldn’t intervene with, when she had just allowed Beth to request a kiss. Kaydon’s grin increased as he licked his lips seductively. Not one of them took anything seriously.
Tallest of the boys, he took a step back. “Might wanna make room, brother.” And with a swift motion, he leaped from his pedestal to Bryson’s.
The two collided with each other. Bryson teetered on the edge, but Kaydon steadied him. Kaydon knelt down, his face never leaving Bryson’s as he took Bryson’s cock into his mouth. His tongue started on the tip with gentle licks before Kaydon sucked in Bryson’s full length. Earning Kaydon a moan from Bryson.
Adria pressed her legs together, a flush creeping up her neck.
She turned, desperate for distraction—and met Kate’s eyes.
The redhead wasn’t watching the men. She was watching her.
That simple, pointed gaze hit Adria hard.
The cheering swelled as Kaydon returned to his pedestal, triumphant.
“Next,” Adria called out.
It was Kate. Stepping in front of Bryson, the two looked at each other for an extended time. Adria’s heart squeezed.
They knew each other.
“Touch your forehead.” The room erupted again in laughter, but Adria’s stomach sank as Bryson refused to move. He was purposely throwing the game. Dianne was meant to be his partner, not Kate.
There was a whooshing in her ears as she handed the leash and collar to the redhead. Adria tried not to sound petulant as she said to the crowd, “We have another winner.”
Kaydon was supposed to be with Callie, but not wanting to risk another mix up, Adria nodded at Dianne, who was next.
Dianne requested that Kaydon do a handstand. And Adria held her breath, praying that Kaydon would understand the change. Kaydon awkwardly attempted a handstand and fell off the pedestal, earning Dianne a leash.
Only a few hours to go.
She repeated it like a prayer.
This evening was going to kill her.
CHAPTER 60
NORTH CAROLINA
Bryson was furious, kneeling at Elena’s feet. With prying eyes everywhere, he followed her dutifully until finally she brought him to a secluded corner.
“What the hell, El, Sota was supposed to come, not you,” he said through gritted teeth. “What if someone recognizes you?”
Horror crashed into him. “What if Dad came?”
She sipped her drink casually, and when she spoke, her lips barely moved.
“I’m Kate today, and I was fourteen when I left. No one is going to recognize me. Especially with my new haircut.”
She fanned her hair, punctuating the point. Bryson watched her. Her eyes surveying the crowd like a hunter. He also noticed the garter above her knee, where he was sure she kept a knife or a small gun.
