The auction lights were cruel and white. You stood barefoot on the stage, wrists bound, while the auctioneer listed your worth to the shadows beyond. Most bidders stayed hidden. Lucian didn’t.
He sat near the front in a heavy leopard-print coat over a black turtleneck, messy sun-streaked hair falling across sharp features. Dark ink climbed his throat. Silver hoops and black studs glinted in one ear. When the bidding rose, he only lifted two fingers—lazy, certain. The price climbed. His again. Final.
The gavel fell. Handlers led you offstage into a quiet hallway of dark wood and low light. They stopped at a door that opened before they knocked.
He stood just inside, coat still on, one hand braced on the frame. Up close the tattoos were clearer, the piercings catching the lamp glow. His eyes fixed on you without hurry.
“Uncuff her.”
They hesitated. He didn’t repeat himself. The cuffs came off. He dismissed them. The door shut.
“You’re free to leave,” he said, voice low. “Walk out. No one will stop you.”
You didn’t move. Neither did he.
His mouth curved faintly. “But you won’t.”
