Passion Play (Abducted 3)

Crystal glanced around, then pointed at Aria. “And you?”

Aria nodded.

“Same here.” Crystal sipped her drink.

“Omigod.” Kate giggled. “What a coincidence.”

“Not a coincidence, sweetie. They probably want to get a photo of all of us. You know, for marketing, yada yada yada.” Crystal rested her chin on her hands. “And we’ll probably have to sit through some long, boring pitch to buy a timeshare.”

“I don’t think so,” Aria chimed in. “We’re not exactly the demographic they’re looking for and—”

A prickle started at the back of Crystal’s neck, then skated down her spine as heat washed through her. She turned to see a devastatingly handsome man walking toward the table, his dark, glittering eyes fixed on her and so intense she thought they’d burn through her.

Now that was definitely what she was looking for.

At over six feet tall, with broad shoulders and a slender waist, he was a magnificent specimen of manhood. He had full sexy lips she could imagine moving across her skin, a square jaw she’d love to stroke, and thick, wavy, sable brown hair that she longed to glide her fingers through.

But as soon as he stood beside the table, his attention flickered to the group of women as a whole.

“Ladies, my name is Terrien. It’s time for the orientation.” He smiled at them with dazzling white teeth. “Would you all come with me, please?” He drew Kate’s chair back.

Kate sent him a glowing smile and stood. “Lead on.”

Crystal leaned toward Aria and murmured, “I would absolutely come with him. Anywhere. Anytime.”

In fact, the way her libido was spinning out of control, if she were merely to brush against him, anywhere anytime might just be right here right now.

Oh, this man was definitely what she’d been looking for.

Aria giggled. Eva seemed to have trouble keeping her gaze from locking on the man’s rock-hard butt as he walked away from the table. And Crystal couldn’t blame her. Crystal, on the other hand, didn’t resist the urge. If there were any way on Earth to make it happen—and she was sure she’d find one—she’d be stroking that muscular butt within the next couple of hours, as she devoured what she prayed was his spectacularly huge cock.

As her gaze remained glued to his gluteus maximus, she followed him, along with the others. He led them out of the ballroom, then turned left.

“Aren’t the elevators the other way?” Jenna asked.

“The normal ones, yes,” Terrien answered, “but we’re taking the VIP elevator.”

“Mmm, VIP. That’s my kind of action,” Crystal murmured to Aria and Jenna.

Kate walked beside Terrien, Eva walked a couple feet behind them, and Crystal followed with Jenna and Aria. Terrien led them down a narrow corridor, then pushed open a door labeled “Authorized Personnel Only”. At the end of another narrow corridor, they came to an elevator. Terrien pushed a key into a lock on the control panel, and the doors opened. They crowded into the small space, and the doors closed.

“This doesn’t look very VIP to me,” Crystal grumbled, gazing around at the small, ordinary-looking elevator.

Her attention immediately switched back to Terrien. Standing in such close proximity to the man sent her temperature rising, even though he had chosen to stand on the other side of the elevator with four women between them. Still, his gaze kept flickering in her direction. Her whole body tensed, and the deep yearning that had been building for weeks.

God, she wanted this man. And she didn’t know why. Well, she knew why. She was horny and he was extremely sexy. But she’d never wanted a man so desperately. The intensity of it unnerved her.

If the other women hadn’t been in the confined space with them, she would have stopped the elevator and torn off his clothes immediately. Her heartbeat accelerated, and the world seemed to be spinning out of control. Then she realized the elevator seemed to have sped up. It jostled a little from side to side. Aria swayed sideways and grabbed on to Crystal’s arm. Crystal placed her hand over Aria’s and glanced at the other woman. Aria had gone as white as a sheet, and she looked as though she might throw up.

“You okay, honey?” Crystal asked. “You look a little green.”

Eva clasped Aria’s other hand. “You don’t look well, Aria.”

“I’m sure she’ll be fine in a minute,” Terrien said.

The doors opened, and Kate, Terrien and Jenna stepped out. Aria took a step or two; then her knees started to buckle. Crystal grabbed one of Aria’s arms, and Eva took the other. They steadied her as they helped her from the elevator.

They entered a moderate-size room with upholstered armchairs facing one wall. The décor had changed dramatically from the coral and green they’d seen everyw
