Party Crasher Read Free

her nosy face out of the party. Now he had to go find her before she did something stupid.
    Ready to step into one of the side doors, he stopped when the lights flickered. The auction was about to begin. He ground his teeth in frustration. He needed to get his hands on Chris, but the auction was what brought in the real money for the night. Female celebrities put themselves up for auction and on display. Whoever bid the most money would spend the rest of the evening with the lady. Anything went after that, if she was agreeable.
    In every auction there were those women who only wanted to be bought just to see how much money they could raise, but soon found themselves at the mercy of their owners. Usually, the situations were resolved by simply replacing the woman with a willing one. It wasn’t his norm, but he was tempted to ignore the auction in favor of finding Chris. He clenched his jaw in irritation. She’d been the bane of his existence for as long as he remembered.
    Ten years her senior, he’d been disgusted with himself for allowing Chris to play havoc with his body. All he had to do was look at her and he’d end up getting turned on.
    Infuriated, he grasped at the metal door handle. The base was brought out to the stage. And on it was the only woman ever to make him want to strangle and kiss her at the same time. He recognized the butterfly and Kiss This tattoo on her sexy ass from a mile away. Instantly hard, his cock jerked in his pants. The abrupt roar of bids made him turn his head to the side. All around him, numbers went up in the air as her price rose through the roof.
    A signal to the auctioneer and the man knew she was his. No matter what the highest bid ended up being, she was off limits. One of his assistants gave the base a twirl, and he was looking right into her face. She hadn’t seen him, and he took a moment to watch her. He should’ve listened to her. That sexy body was not the one of a little girl. Delectable in every way, her curves were that of a luscious woman. At twenty-six, she truly was all grown up. Emotions he’d fought the past ten years to suppress came to light. He wanted her. Now. Tonight.
    Not a hint of nerves were visible on her face, but he knew she was scared. Her fingers were curled around the handles in a white-knuckle grip. It was clear she had no idea what the auction entailed. He split his lips into a smile as he stalked off to give instructions for taking Chris to his bedroom. He gave detailed orders to his assistant to take her to his room, feed her, and tie her to his bed. She’d wanted to be part of the party, now she was the star attraction. For tonight, he owned her.
    A while later he was able to make his way toward the bedroom wing. In the hallway, he encountered a miserable-looking Cole. Anger was clear on his face. Drex wondered if he knew about Chris.
    “What’s going on, Cole?” Hands in his pockets, he fingered the key to his bedroom. Arousal surged at the thought of what waited for him. He’d been notified Chris had tried to talk them into letting her go, but in the end she’d been tied to his bed.
    “I just met an incredible woman, had an amazing time with her, and left her in my bedroom.” His tux was a mess, and his hair was wet. He must have just been in the shower.
    “That doesn’t sound like such a bad deal, bro.” In fact, if he had his way he’d have Chris at his mercy in a few moments. She’d asked to be treated like a woman, and he had no qualms with that any longer. Fuck, right now he was all for treating her like an adult.
    “It wouldn’t be, if she were still there. I asked her to wait while I took a shower, but now I can’t find her anywhere. It’s as if she vanished into thin air.” He growled and fisted his hands.
    “So, just go call her out.” It was one of the ways they had to get in touch with a guest whose party had lost them.
    “I can’t.” Cole groaned and leaned into the wall.
    “Why not?” As much as he wanted to
