Bound, gagged and sold.

Max's eyes fluttered as consciousness flowed back to her body. Her instincts told her to panic to kick and scream and try to run but her training told her better, to stay calm and learn as much about her surroundings as she could before acting. They hadn?t made it easy, they had blindfolded her, and gagged her with some sort of rubber ball.

Her arms had been crossed behind her back, then tied together firmly and much to her horror they had stripped her of her clothes leaving her blind and exposed. The air was cold and heavy, feeling somewhat artificial as if the air conditioner had been left on too long. Most disconcerting was that she wasn't alone, she could hear the breathing of at least five more people in the room.

But she stayed still and waited, until she felt and heard one of them approach her. His hands where thick and rough, his fingers spreading across her taunt stomach for a second before wrapping around her waist.

"Up," he commanded, his voice was gruff with a slight southern accent. He didn't waste any time waiting for her to respond before lifting her light frame off the ground. He let her go and unable to find the strength she almost fell over. They must have **** her, Max thought as she stumbled and tried to regain her balance.

"Early Twenties, brunette hair, brown eyes, beautiful clean and athletic," The southerner announced from behind Max before uncoiling a small rope and whipping Max?s bare ass.

It took Max by surprised, she had heard the crack then before she could even react a sharp stinging pain in her behind. Her teeth clenched into rubber ball that had been **** into her mouth and her body jerked forward going stiff with pain. Unable to keep herself up she fell to one knee and gasped, she could almost hear the excitement from the unseen men around, she could feel their eyes on her. Max knew what this was.

"Bidding starts at the usual price."

She was being sold.
