As Nicole sipped her drink, her eyes roamed around the fashionable setting, curious to see what kind of people attended a bachelor auction. To her, this auction seemed like a silly waste of money, and the people who spent the exorbitant amounts of money bordered on desperate. This was her perception of the event before she saw him.
Kane leaned against the bar, bored on the inside, and seemingly interested on the outside. He excelled at this façade, drawing experience from the countless board meetings that he had to attend that bored him to death. Nursing a brandy, Kane tuned out the ramblings of his mother (who was responsible for him being here, he would get her back later) and swept his eyes across the room, scanning the faces, not really looking for anything, but just looking. What Kane saw did not bode well for his auction, the people who attended the auction and planned to bid were all bored wives of rich men, looking for a momentary distraction and women who were vicious man-eaters. Then, just when Kane thought all hope was lost, he caught sight of a slender blonde across the room. Standing with a group of her friends, she was the sweetest thing he had seen in a long time. Tall, with the slim physique of an athlete, she caught his eye with her dress -- or rather, lack of it. Well, Kane mused, this night might go better than expected.
Surrounded by her laughing friends, Nicole studied the man's body from across the room. She was a sucker for a man in a suit, and he filled out his perfectly. Tall, with black hair and piercing eyes, she couldn't tell the color from here, he looked like a man that designers fought to clothe, which was a shame, because he would probably impress everyone a whole lot more if he wasn't clothed. Nicole turned back to her friends, one of them had asked her something but she had been too busy ogling the man to hear. One of Nicole's best friends, Liana, had just asked her if she saw anyone that she was planning to bid on. Maybe, said Nicole, her eyes again searching out the unknown man. This time, when she looked over, their eyes met, and heat coursed through her body as the man faintly lifted an eyebrow in interest. Man, Nicole thought, if he can make me feel this hot with just his eyes, God knows what he can do with his whole body.
What Nicole felt wasn't one sided. As Kane made eye contact with the blonde, his cock stirred in his pants, the first below the belt action all night. He decided to take the initiative and approach her. He set his empty tumbler on the bar, and excusing himself to his mother, turned to make his way towards the stunning beauty. When he turned, he found himself face to face with Bianca Jerlini, a woman who he had slept with a few months before, much to his regret, for when they were still having morning coffee, her phone had rang with people asking her how he was in the sack, to which she answered -- in great detail -- what he was great at and what he could improve on, but overall she had said, the best she'd ever had. Kane didn't care of a repeat performance that she could rate and review, but she had been busy rating and reviewing men all over the city. When Kane turned and found her standing there, she threw her arms around his neck and suctioned her lips to his neck before tip-toeing and whispering in his ear that she planned to take him home tonight. Kane, searching for a way to discourage her, laughed and asked if she wouldn't rather have new goods, not used. Bianca laughed, said Kane was the funniest man she'd ever slept with, and than said that if all went according to plan, her winnings tonight would keep her occupied for the next month.
Nicole felt inexplicably jealous as she watched the anorexic version of Jennifer Lopez basically crawl on the man. As she watched, his eyes went from the woman in front of him to her, and then didn't stray. It was almost as if, Nicole thought, that he needs help getting away from that woman. Well, it had never been said that Nicole Tempment had been shy, so she walked her way on over to the man, drawing lascivious glances from rich husbands here with their bored wives and bachelors here to be auctioned off.
Kane saw her approaching, her hips swaying from side to side and the thigh-high slits in her floor length dress gaping when she walked to show miles of long, slim, tanned legs. The next thing he knew, the blonde was plastered to his side and purring in his ear 'Darling, where have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere.' Never one to look a gift horse in the mouth, Kane snuck his arm around her slender waist and said 'I was just trying to come over to you to tell you that I'm up for bid next and that you better bid on me, or else I'll be snapped up by some rich wife, looking for the time of her life.' Okay, so not the most subtle of hints, but he was pretty sure the blonde got the message that he wanted her to bid on him. Bianca, sick of being ignored, had gone on to glue herself to the front of another bachelor up for bid. Kane, finally seeing his chance of striking up a conversation with the knockout blonde, was rudely dragged away by his mother, who was complaining that the announced had called him up to the stage three times already, and what was he doing but flirting with everything in a skirt. Embarrassed, Kane could only send a silent prayer to the Gods that the blonde would bid on him so that he wouldn't have to go home with Bianca the nympho.
Laughing, Nicole promised herself that the man, she still didn't know his name damnit, would be her present to herself. She sized up her competition, a bag of bones that was literally trying to get into some other poor man's pants. She might not be that rich Nicole thought, but she was ready to mortgage her condo if need be.
Kane climbed the steps to the stage and stood in the middle of a spotlight, calmly standing and waiting for the meat market to begin. The announcer then read a card, most likely submitted by his mother, which pretty much was the fantasy date of every female over the age of 13. Wining and dining, beach, fancy car, new spa resort, and a hot man. The bidding began at $1,000. A flurry of hands went up, two of which were Nicole's and Bianca's. As the bidding grew steadily higher, less and less hands went up, until it was just Nicole and Bianca. The entire time the announcer had been talking and the bidding had been going on, Kane's gaze had never once strayed from Nicole's it seemed as if he was waiting for her to win. The bids flew upwards, until it was at $14,500. Nicole started to hesitate, this was a huge amount of money. But her friends urged her on, and Nicole again stuck up her fan, only to bring it back down when Bianca shouted that she would pay $20,000. Going once, going twice, and gone, Nicole's dream man was sold to Nicole's new mortal enemy.
On stage, Kane was severely disappointed but tried not to show it, covering his emotions with a million dollar smile and with a little bow, went down the stairs to the waiting arms of Bianca. Bianca, wanting her prize now, dragged him from the ballroom filled with whistles and catcalls to her waiting limousine in valet. In the car, she said that she was glad she won him, and that that blonde bitch had no chance against her. Kane, depressed that he was with Bianca and not the blonde, he didn't even know her name damnit, leaned against the seat and closed his eyes. He opened them again when he felt his belt being unbuckled and he saw Bianca on her knees on the car's floor in between his legs. Bianca, with a predatory smile, pressed a button that slid the privacy partition up between them and the driver, leaving Kane and Bianca in total seclusion. Bianca then said that she didn't need all the fancy things Kane had been offering as a date, she just wanted to get to the happy ending. Unbuckling his belt and unbuttoning his pants, Bianca wet her lips with her tongue as Kane, being a guy, felt his cock swell and harden. Kane resigned himself to his date, and thought that he might as well enjoy his time because it would be rude for him to not cooperate, she had bought him.
