nearly as ruthless as they’d have most folks believe. More than likely they’d let her out of this if she begged —and she hadn’t done that. They knew her most secret desire and were allowing her to play it through, with the promise they’d come to her rescue if things went south.
    She must be crazy to actually want to go through with this.
    Val whispered a warning in her ear. “Don’t speak unless you’re asked a direct question. There’s a fine line between showing spirit and displaying insubordination that could get you punished, and it’s best not to test unknown waters.”
    Heart fluttering in her throat, she nodded.
    The club staff was waiting for them, and a slim young man with long purple hair ushered them into a small dressing room. Or, in her case, an un dressing room. The boy, who couldn’t have been a day over twenty-one, directed her to stand in the center of the room.
    He gave her an impish smile. “My name is Kai. My, aren’t you a looker? The bouncers will have to beat the bidders off you.” Waving a hand at the wrap, he said, “Drop it so we can polish the goods, honey. And don’t look so worried—you don’t have anything I haven’t seen a zillion times before, and I prefer guys anyway.”
    Following Val’s advice, she remained quiet, though she suspected this young staff member wouldn’t mind if she spoke. Maybe asked a few questions. However, she had no idea whether he’d get in trouble for being too friendly to the slaves, so she buttoned her lip.
    She let the wrap fall to the floor in a puddle at her feet and gave a shiver. Soon her audience would consist of a whole room full of horny men.
    “Cold?” Kai inquired, grabbing a jar of something off a nearby shelf.
    “Yes, a little.”
    “You won’t be for long. My job is to warm you up.” He punctuated the statement with a cheeky wink.
    She wanted to ask how, but figured that would be pointless when he’d show her soon enough. Opening the jar, Kai scooped out a generous amount of a pale, shiny substance. Not lotion, but what, she wasn’t sure. A sweet scent, a hint of almond and honey that was quite pleasant, teased her nose. Smearing some on her arm, he began to spread and work in the stuff as he talked.
    “This is slave oil. It’s a natural compound designed to make the skin take on a healthy-looking glow without the heavy presentation of regular body oil. It’s totally edible, which means your master can lick your sweet body to his heart’s content. Or you can lick him. It contains an aphrodisiac that absorbs into the skin, though, so treat it like alcohol and never ingest too much of it in one session. It’s expensive, but no master worth his salt will be without a supply.”
    He looked up as he rubbed the cream onto her other arm, as if awaiting a response. She nodded in understanding, and he happily kept up his task. She noted that, indeed, her skin began to tingle, and soon became comfortably warm. True to Kai’s word, the properties of the paste chased away the chill, and strange things began to happen.
    As she inhaled the yummy scent of the almond-honey paste, the buzzing warmth started to fan out, creeping with clever little fingers, making her hyperaware of her nakedness. Suddenly she felt so very wicked and wanted to wallow in it. She longed to be seen and touched, her body spread for delight.
    “That’s it, sweetie,” Kai crooned softly, his voice hypnotic. His capable hands smoothed the cream over the length of each of her legs, then moved to her back and down, lightly over the curve of her ass. “Just let go and enjoy.”
    Vaguely, she heard Kai tell the demons to move her to the stage for the final preparations. She guessed other slaves had been sold tonight in similar fashion, and now it was her turn.
    They helped her to stand between two poles, and then Kai directed the demons to cuff each of her wrists to the top of them while he did her ankles. She was spread in a human X, completely at the mercy
