He nodded. “How else am I going to find you a proper man-thong?We can’t risk going too small and having a tip slip on the runway. Or going toobig and making it look…empty. So how big is it? Seven inches? Eight inches?”

“I’m over a foot.”Why the hell did I just tell him that?

His eyes lit up and went straight to my crotch. “I’m sorry, didI forget to introduce myself? Justin Belle, professional stylish at OdegaardMiami, and this evening’s stand-in for Ernie. He called out sick at the lastminute.”

Ah.That explains a lot. “Magnus King,” I said and shookhis hand. “The owner of this resort.”

“Oh my God.” He put his hand over his mouth. “I’m so sorry Ididn’t recognize you. And the pant comment. That was totally out of line. Iknow it must be difficult to find a stylish pant to contain your massive member.If you want to slip out of those I can probably make a few adjustments… No! There’sno time!” He took a huge gulp of coffee from the biggest, most heavilybedazzled tumbler I’d ever seen. “I promise I’ll sew you a sexy little pantlater, but first I need to finish these veils.”

“Veils?” I asked.

“Yes.” He pulled back the curtain and pointed to the whitebag on Ash’s head. It was roughly the same shape as the one she’d been baggedwith earlier. But this one was made of expensive white fabric. And there were diamond-studdedbuttons up the side of it holding it together. “When I showed up and found thegirls wearing nothing but heels and bags over their heads, I thought Ernie hadlost the plot. But then I got to thinking…”

“Oh, those aren’t supposed to be part of it. You can justtake those off.” I stepped towards Ash and grabbed for the bag, but Justinswatted my arm away from her. “Stop that,” I said.

“You stop it. You can’t take her veil off before the show. You’llruin the reveal, you fat head.”

“The reveal?”

“Yes. The most important part of any fashion show. Or sexauction.”

“The buyers need to see what they’re bidding on.”

“I disagree. Think about it. If you ended up on a surprisedate with a hot stud, would you be more intrigued if he showed up nude? Orwould you rather spend all night wondering how thick that foot-long sausage isgonna be when you unwrap it after the show?” He stared at my crotch the wholetime he was speaking.

“I’m not gay, so I would be intrigued by neither of those scenarios.”

He sighed. “It’s all about anticipation.”

“I think I see what you’re saying. One of my favorite partsof sex is whipping out my massive cock and seeing the look on the girl’s face. Sometimesthey just stare at it in shock. Or sometimes they cover their mouth and giggle.”Like Maeve did earlier.“Or sometimes they just start sucking meimmediately.”

“Exactly,” said Justin. “If you already knew how they’dreact, it wouldn’t be as fun. The same goes for a proper reveal. You never knowwhat saucy little number you’ll see when he pulls off his cape. Or in this case…yourbidders won’t know what kind of exotic beauty they’re buying. Mystery is sexy.”

Shit, he was right. Mystery was definitely sexy. That was basicallywhat we were selling with our banana party videos. The free previews we releasedwould always show a room full of hot girls cheering for well-endowed strippers.But if you wanted to see which girls would get on their knees, you’d have tosubscribe.

And then it hit me.

The perfect fucking plan!

“You’re a genius,” I said. “Get those veils finished. And ampup the body contouring. These girls need to look flawless on camera.”

“You got it,” replied Justin, but I was already sprinting outof the dressing room back to my office.

If I was going to pull this off, I had work to do.

“Get my tuxedo ironed,” I said to my assistant. “And get someonefrom IT into my office ASAP.”

While I waited for the tech guy, I scrolled through mycontacts and called the anchor ofEntertainment Miami,Adriana Gomez.

“Hola, Magnus,” she said in her sexy Latina accent. “I can’treally talk right now. We’re going live in twenty.”

“Cancel your broadcast for tonight,” I said.

“I can’t just cancel the entire broadcast.”

“I meant cancel what you were planning to talk about. BecauseI’m giving you a sneak peek at the new Odegaard swim collection.”

“Hmmm…tempting. But Beyoncé literally just walked into ourstudio. She’s giving us an exclusive live interview tonight.”
