Penny for Your Thoughts
Her eyes betrayed the surprise that her face didn't show. "What are you doing here? Did you change your mind?" Quinn moved closer, as we stood among the other women waiting to go back onto the auction stage.
"We couldn't get out. They locked the doors. And then the sheriff guy saw us and brought me back."
"Mark Hoobler?" Her expression changed when I nodded my head. "Shit. I told you to find me if you wanted to leave. I know the way out."
I tried to look apologetic. "I thought we could find our own way out."
Quinn looked at me harshly and chided in a stern whisper, "Do not fuck with these people. They can make your life and mine very difficult. They don't like the women here screwing them over. They can come after the both of us."
"Don't worry. I'm going to go through with the auction. Whatever the consequences may be. Dave's out of money. I'll do what I have to."
She was calmer, but still continued the fake pleasant smile for the benefit of the crowd. "I'm sorry I got you into this, but you should have followed my instructions."
The assembly had thinned out by about half, and the lights were lower. I could see the men that remained. They were the ones that hadn't won in the first round; the ones that hadn't gotten laid yet. Some were looking for bargains; other disappointed losers looking to get back in the game. All were horny.
I resigned myself to selling my ass that night. Part of me was even excited by the prospect. Maybe, I'd been looking for an excuse. I just hoped the one that won me wasn't too objectionable.
I scanned the room. The football player was still checking out the merchandise. He wouldn't be a bad first trick. Tall, handsome and well built, I could see doing him. Hell, if I wasn't married, I could go for him anyway.
Most of the other males, weren't so bad either. Most were older, but they looked distinguished, and were high achievers in their own fields of endeavor. Quinn has said, the majority of her clients were ten to thirty years older. "When you're expensive, the men who can afford you have to have achieved something in life." That's the way she put it.
The only one I didn't really want was the drunk who nearly won me in the first round. I guessed he was the chubby man staggering around across room being loud and obnoxious. "Hey, what's a fellow got to do to get laid here? Oh, right, pay money. Hee hee." No one was laughing at him anymore. I recognized him now and understood why no one dared escort him from the room. He owned the largest tech company in town. He was in the news a lot. Political leaders lined up to kiss his ass.
I watched as Quinn took the stage once again. She still looked fresh and ready for what came her way. It paid off. She got another $1,500 when the bidding finished out. Her trick, a man I put somewhere in his sixties, slipped an arm around her waist and lead her away to collect his prize. She looked back toward me and tried to give me a reassessing smile.
I looked around the room. I spotted the fat drunk. He was standing next to Dave, patting him on the back and laughing. I overhead him loudly exclaim, "Nothing but sloppy seconds." Dave handed him a drink that he hoisted into the air.
The announcer proclaimed, "This is once again, Penny. She's our new record holder, gentlemen. So, we will start the bid at one thousand dollars." I noticed some of the other women looking at me jealously. I'd outclassed them before. I was eager to see if I could do it again.
The quarterback called out, "Fifteen hundred." He was letting everyone know he was more than just a field player. My heart began to beat faster and my pussy got excited. I gave him an approving sexy glance and licked the corner of my mouth. By now, I wanted to fuck him.
An older man from the back, called out, "Sixteen." I had no idea who we was, but he was nicely put together. I could see being banged by him.
I looked to see Dave hand the fat man another drink and speak into his ear. He now held two drinks, one in each hand and began to slurp from both. He was starting to stagger and spill his booze onto the floor. He laughed out loud.
Another man standing at the back that I couldn't see bid eighteen hundred. Then the footballer tossed out, "Nineteen."
"We are approaching the previous record, set by this same lovely lady," came the announcer's voice. I could tell without looking, the other bitches were scornfully staring daggers at me. Eat my dust you sluts.
I hoped the quarterback's bid would hold, but if one of these other men happened to think my favors were worth more and set a new record, it wouldn't be all that bad. The guy in the back shouted out two thousand. Yes!
The fat man waddled toward the front and the crowd parted for him. He held up a fan of hundred dollar bills in both hands as he stood unevenly on his feet. "It time to put a stop to this nonsense by you penny pinchers. Three thousand dollars."
A hush went over the crowd. The fat guy danced to and through. "I am prepared to go higher. Just watch. I can go all night."
"Going once, twice, sold for three thousand. Penny has set the second record for the night."
A loud wave of applause and laughter erupted throughout the room. I stepped down toward my winner and hoped he wouldn't throw up on me.
I had to place his right arm over my shoulder to keep him moving towards the door. I looked to see if I could spot Dave. I was angry with him. Of all the men here, why had he set me up with this guy? My husband was nowhere to be seen.
I set chubby down on the sofa. He mumbled something along the line of, "Worth every fuckin' Penny. Are we done yet?" and then promptly passed out cold.
Dave entered the room and looked at the snoring beached whale on the couch. "I thought that last round would polish him off. We're lucky he managed to get this far."
