“What if tiny penis oligarch buy her?” asked Slavanka.
I stared at her. “I thought you killed him with ricin?”
“I meanothertiny penis oligarch.”
“Oooh. Yeah, you’re right. That would be devastating. Okay, back to the original plan. Let’s find Ash!” I grabbed Slavanka’s arm and pulled her towards a side exit.
But what I saw on the other side of the door didn’t make any sense.
Auction Me - Chapter 14 – The Banana King’s Secrets
Sunday – September 22, 2013
What the hell?
I had to do a double take to convince myself that I hadn’t just walked through a magical portal and ended up back at the Miami Odegaard boutique. Because this place lookedexactlylike it. Well, almost. The selection here was different. It was exclusively super-sexy swimwear and heels. With diamond-studded gloves. And leashes. Which made sense. Nothing would increase a girl’s value more than strutting down that runway in one of these bikinis.
I could have easily spent the rest of the day looking through all the designs. But I couldn’t risk letting Ash lose her virginity to a small-dicked oligarch.
I had to find my girl.
So we pressed onward.
The only other exit from the dressing room led to a spa. Four girls were lounging in mud baths.
Ash?!
Maybe…
I honestly couldn’t tell. The mud went up to their necks. And their faces were covered with cucumbers and some sort of papery mask. And they all had their hair wrapped up in towels.
I walked over to the pastiest one and tapped her on the shoulder. “Pssst… Ash?”
She turned towards me and reached up to remove the cucumbers from her eyes, but the cuffs on her wrists stopped her before she could reach.
I pulled the cucumbers off for her.
Damn. Not Ash.
“Who are you?” asked the girl at full volume.
“Shhh,” I hissed.
She raised an eyebrow.
“I’m here to save you. Actually, I’m here to save my friend. But I guess I’ll save you while I’m at it.”Anything to mess with the banana king.
“From what?”
“The sex auction. That’s why you’re cuffed, right?”
She nodded.
“Do you think there’s a key around here?” I looked over near the door to see if there was a key ring or something. “Actually, don’t answer that yet. I’m only going to let you free if you agree tohelp me find my friend. She’s like…the hottest redhead ever. And super neurotic. You might have seen her hiding behind stuff. Or if she’s had too much banana juice, you probably saw her on her knees…”
“You actually just missed her. She was getting a massage like two minutes ago. At first she was scared to take her towel off and kept calling the masseur a pervert, but then she just got full nude and started telling him that she was literally in love with him.”
“Aw, I love that for her. Did you see where she went?”
