Waiting for Svetlana's turn

It's been over an hour and you're starting to wonder when they'll get to Svetlana. You hadn't expected there to be so many women up for auction and you estimate there have been around 50-60 that have already gone. Every single one of them had been auctioned off, a lot for high prices, although some of the less attractive women were offered as package deals. There were quite a few stunners of course, including a former penthouse model and a lesser known porn star, and you had been tempted to get into the action, but resisted the urge because you wanted to focus on your main priority, offloading Svetlana to some other rich fellow who has the patience to deal with her attitude. In the meantime, the room is still packed with most of the guests, even those who have won bids, sticking around. Some have their prizes standing naked next to them, while others must have relayed instructions to the host on how their women were to be handled.

You're about to go get another drink when Kiara announces the next bid.

"Up next, is a special one," Kiara says while the previous woman up to bid is ushered away. "With love from Russia is Svetlana. Up for bid, is her contract with her previous owner, which grants her free room and board with allowance up until the age of 35. If she bears a child for the holder of the contract by before she turns 36, she can keep staying with them, otherwise, it's $10 million and a good bye!" The crowd murmurs as Svetlana is led out by security, naked like all the other women. She looks horrified although she's wearing make up now that she wasn't when she left the estate. They must have put it on her. Maybe she had cried when she found out what was going on.

Svetlana stands there on the stage with her hands by her side while Kiara goes on to tell the crowd about her social media presence, measurements, and other information. Svetlana's eyes dart around the room until she finds you near the stage and she looks at you pleadingly, but all you do in return is smile widely. She looks like she's about to cry.

"I used to have a friend who had the same exact deal with multiple women," someone says to you from behind. You glance back and see an older gentleman finding his way to your side. He's accompanied by 2 naked women, a blonde and a black woman, that he had obviously won at auction earlier. He's well dressed in a dark blue suit and an ascot and he's quite handsome for an old man. In fact, he kind of reminds you of Nigel, except in much better health and shape.

"Is that so?" you say, not sure what to make of this man.

"Percy Van Bolt. Nigel was a friend," the man introduces himself, shaking your hand firmly.

"Ah. I'm John Colins. Nice to meet you."

"I heard about the news of Nigel's passing. Sad. He was a character. Smart and charming. I was wondering what happened to his estate and the contracts he held. I guess now I know," Percy remarks, looking at the stage at Svetlana from time to time as people bid on her. The starting bid had been half a million, and it's already up to $2.5 million.

"Well... yes. I don't want to get into the details, but he left it all to me," you say.

"2 and 3 quarters!" Percy shouts at Kiara, raising his hand. He then turns to you, "Interesting. I guess that's a story for another time. You know, Nigel used to come here from time to time. That's how we met. But he never bid or put someone up for auction. I see things have changed. Pretty, that one. He always picked the best. I've always marveled at how he got these gorgeous women to sign contracts with him. Doubt this lady thought it would end up this way."

You smile politely, not knowing how to respond. The bid for Svetlana is up to $4 million now.

"$5 million!" Percy shouts.

"How many..." you start to ask, before you don't and are unsure of how to finish the question.

However, Percy knows what you're thinking. "Including these 2 and that gal on the stage I'm about to win from you? 32. You should come visit. How about tomorrow? Here, call my secretary and she'll make the arrangements. And yes, she's 1 of the 32," he says, pressing a card into your palm. It's a plain card that just has a phone number on it.

"$10 million!" Percy shouts this time, outbidding the last bid by $2 million. The room falls silent as Kiara repeats the bid 3 times before she announces Percy as the winner. There are cheers and applause as Percy acknowledges his win, that largest amount of the event so far.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I can't wait to fuck number 32. See you tomorrow?" Percy says, patting you on the back as he moves towards the stage claim his prize. You look on as Percy and his 3 new acquisitions are escorted to an exit by security.
