Here we are. Winding down to the end of this story. It has been an interesting adventure, prepping this story for Literotica. It has been fun and enlightening. I have a few more stories that belong in this world.
-------------------------------
David woke up in his room unwrapping himself from the arms and legs of two female bodies. Too groggy to remember who accompanied him the night before and too tired to open his eyes all the way, he made his way to the bathroom to splash water over his face. The cold water helped him come back to himself. Yesterday and the night before were kind of blurry in his memory.
**Donald, something is here, something we need.**
"Good god almighty, so early in the morning, keep your tone down in my head." He groaned out loud, "What is it?"
**A book, an old book. I sense it's down in the auction hall. I suggest you go and get it. By any means necessary.**
"What the hell is this book?" Donald asked.
"Who are you talking to babe?" a tall blonde asked as she walked into the bathroom. Naked as the day she was born, she stood almost as tall as Donald, probably 5' 11", with a very nice set of 40Cs and a narrow 26 in waist. He also noticed she was shaved, he reached out to her and caressed the lips between her legs, freshly shaven and damp.
"Not right now, I need a shower and have to get to a seminar in 30 minutes, but I can catch you later." she smiled at him and leaned up to kiss him on the nose and giggled as he patted her ass and left the bathroom to her.
He noticed the other woman in the bed was a brunette but could not see her clearly. Not wanting to disturb her he grabbed some clothes and got dressed in the other room. He grabbed the schedule for the day and saw the Auctions started in an hour, plenty of time to get some breakfast and clear his head.
He dressed in blue jeans, black t-shirt with the 2015 pathfinder snake logo and black Nikes. He picked up a black nylon military backpack and slung it over one shoulder and hung his lanyard and badge around his neck. Running his fingers through his hair ruffling it up and glancing in the mirror he smiled, checked his wallet and headed out the door. Taking the elevator to the lobby he pulled out the map of the convention center and found a food place offering breakfast.
Donald spent fifteen minutes eating and watching the early morning folks go by. Lots of people dedicated to cosplay in costume posing for pictures and flirting with passersby. He loved the creativity, even those who obviously didn't have a lot of money had done amazing jobs with their Cosplay. Donald wished he wasn't so vain, he never did cosplay before this year because he could never get the costume right never having the money before and not having the skill to craft one.
He envied these people, their ability to lose themselves in their role and not show their vulnerability that he knew they were feeling. He felt a twinge of guilt that passed quickly as two very hot young female Cosplayers walked by. He didn't recognize the Anime characters they were dressed as, but one was a fox and the other was a rabbit and his were not the only eyes following them. He shook himself back to focus and gathered his things and headed to the ballroom where the auction was being held.
He entered the auction hall, there were very few people at this time, and he handed his backpack over to the security staff and took a number card (27) and sat down. He saw some interesting items go by in the general auction, lots of estate stuff. He almost purchased a 36" statue of Galactus, but waited.
**Here it comes, and it seems someone else here wants it.**
"Who?" he asked.
**I can't see who, they are veiled.** the voice sounded concerned.
Donald considered this and watched as a large leather bound book was placed on the stand at the auction table.
"Here we have Norwegian book on Norse mythology, inscribed with runes bound in leather with gold filigree." The auctioneer stated "Starting bid is $10.00."
A man up front with grey hair and a red flannel shirt holding number 12 raised his card. "$10 to number 12."
Donald raised his card "$12 to 27" the grey haired man looked around and found.
Donald and glowered at him, raising his card. "$14 to 12."
Donald raised his card and five fingers "$19 to 27!"
"I offer $50" said the grey haired man as he raised his card, and then he turned to stare at Donald.
Donald chuckled and stood up. "It's a nice book, it would go well with the theme of my current campaign and would look great in my collection. $50 is a bit steep..." the grey haired man chuckled. "How about we go $500" Donald offered as he raised his card.
The grey haired man looked him, anger smoldering in his eyes. The rest of the room was murmuring among themselves. They had never seen anything like this before.
"$1000" grey hair said. The auctioneers just sat there watching the two of them confused as much as those on the floor.
"Fine, fine $10,000" Donald smirked at the grey haired man daring him to higher.
The grey haired man stood up and left the room, stalking out and glaring at Donald the whole way.
The room cheered and a young woman sitting apart from the others was crying and laughing. A man from the auction stage approached Donald.
