Eventually, he glances my way and our eyes lock. I feel a shiver run through my entire body. This might sound crazy, but I really hope this is the guy who buys me. I don’t want anyone else but him. I can’t picture anyone else with me except for him.
Eventually, we break eye contact and look away. I take a deep breath, but I feel like I need cold air after his stare. Nobody has ever had an effect on me like that.
I look anxiously at Scarlett and at the couple on stage. Now I’m actually a little excited for my turn.
Though Scarlett told me everything beforehand, I’m still waiting for her explanation of how this is going to happen. It’s a lot to wrap my head around. I just want to get it over with, although part of me really wants to take things slow and enjoy things with this handsome man who can’t stop staring at me.
Chapter 6
Finnegan
“I will not pout,” I keep reminding myself, but I can’t help it.
I’m in a bad mood and I’m angry about everything. I keep glancing at the door every few seconds to see if Melissa shows up, but so far, I haven’t seen her. I’m mad at Scarlett for getting my hopes up about meeting her tonight. I was anxious the whole day while I was getting ready and driving over here.
There was no way I was missing my chance at being with her. I hope Scarlett and her source are right and this girl actually shows up; otherwise, tonight is a complete waste of my time.
I still haven’t been too successful at shaking off that depression I have been feeling. That’s another reason I’m in a bad mood tonight. Looking at Melissa’s picture helped a little, but in some ways it added to the stress of wondering whether she would show up or not and the kinds of things we would be able to do.
It’s just too much to think about. I try to breathe and look at the door again, willing her to show up. Yeah, no such luck yet.
Scarlett has already assured me multiple times tonight that her contact confirmed that Melissa would be here, but as each second passes, I’m finding it more difficult to believe her. I shift around in my seat, feeling so agitated.
I’m tempted to leave if she doesn’t show up. She was the only reason for me being here tonight. I have no interest in any of the other women who are here. I look around at the other people here and see that not even the other men bidding are decent looking. I’m not trying to sound conceited; I’m just being honest.
I arrived with my friend James. Right now, he calls out my name and keeps trying to get my attention.
He is the one who is up on stage right now. He keeps bidding and playing with this girl. He’s inviting me up there to do the same, but I’m just not interested. That girl is definitely not my type, now that I have seen Melissa.
I keep ignoring him, and waving him away, but he still keeps asking me to come up there with him. I know he’s just enjoying himself, but it’s still frustrating me. He can’t understand what I’m going through right now. I don’t think that anyone can.
My mind is too preoccupied. It’s full of thoughts of one girl, and she is the only one I want to see right now. I give an impatient sigh and turn to glare at Scarlett. She is busy talking to some of the other girls, so she’s not paying attention to me.
That frustrates me as well. I don’t like being kept waiting. I feel like she teased me with the promise of Melissa, just to let me down about it all.
I’m seriously thinking about getting up and leaving when I see her walk through the door. I can tell it’s her by her gorgeous eyes and stunning curves. My cock gets instantly hard.
She doesn’t notice me right away, so I watch her talk to Scarlett for a few minutes. My throat goes dry as my eyes rake over her curvaceous body. It’s so different, seeing her in person. Much better than in the picture, even.
As she looks around the room and locks eyes with me, I see her brown eyes fill with surprise. I can feel myself growing rock hard the longer I look at her. I suddenly want to touch myself so bad.
I can tell from her expression that she’s shocked by the things that are happening on stage. But if I’m not mistaken, she looks as happy to see me as I am to see her. After our intense gaze, she keeps giving me little looks. I can tell that she doesn’t find the other guys here at the auction tonight attractive because she isn’t even looking at them. It’s all I can do not to run over there and do what I want to her.
