Chapter 5
“This one is ours now, saleswoman. Respect it as such,” he said rubbing a hand over the mark hers had made. My nipple responded to his touch despite my sense of dread.
“They are protective, slave, you are Lucky. Now do you understand me?” she asked again.
I answered her in a slurred voice with words I barely recognized and the men came to stand around me. I realized I was laying down across the platform and the jelly creatures were still at work. The slimy burning was running up my legs.
Dark hair gazed down at me. He trailed his fingers along my arm as he addressed the saleswoman. “We wish to know how it works. When the cleaners are done, I want you to show us all the parts,” he said turning his gaze back on my face.
I still felt drunk and the room started to slowly blacken around the corners. I wondered how many parts she would show him. Would she open up my belly to show him those parts, too? On that lovely note, I blacked out.
“Bad dream,’ I thought to myself as I woke up. ‘Hope I didn’t miss my alarm.” I opened my eyes and then shut them tight again. Inside my head I repeated to myself, ‘bad dream, bad dream, bad dream.’

“I already saw you Ciara, you opened your eyes. You aren’t asleep anymore. I wish to look at you with them open,” the long haired man said.
He had been leaning over me watching me sleep. I had seen his piercing blue eyes the minute I opened mine.
“I could open them for you, Ciara. Should I do that?” he asked.
I threw my eyes open and tried to move away from him, but only ended up backing into dark hair who had been Laying on the other side of me. I scooted away from both of them and fell off the surface we had been laying on. Crawling across the floor I stopped when I hit the wall and stood up.
Glancing out an opening in the wall I noted the sun that was peeking over the purple blue horizon. Several large moons could also be seen stretched out in the sky. I’d never seen a sky that color or with that many satellites.
I turned in stunned silence and gazed sightlessly ahead. This wasn’t earth, unless my planet suddenly sprouted new moons. I was somewhere different, somewhere very far away. My eyes started to work again and I took in the details of where I was.
It appeared to be a bedroom. In the center of the room sat a huge circular bed covered in an assortment of deep blue covers. A Large pole ran up the middle of the bed and attached the ceiling. Four powerfully built men were Lounging on it. From the look of their hair, they had just woken up.
The lanky man was laying on the other side of the mattress. He stretched languidly and watched me.
“I told you we should have tied it up,” the Lanky man said to the group in general.
I whimpered and hugged my arms around myself. My butt naked self, I realized. Looking down quickly I saw ornate metal cuffs wrapped around my wrists and ankles, but was otherwise I was completely unclothed. I shifted my arms to cover my private parts.
“To the first contest then,” the broad, bearded man said rising from the bed and coming toward me.
The bearded man was taller than me by at least a foot. His chest was bare except for the copious amounts of thick bronze hair. A fine piece of white linen was wrapped around his waist. From the number of scars that cut across his torso he had obviously been in a lot of fights. He terrified me.
“Master Evan wishes to inspect you on the bed with your eyes open, Ciara. Go back and Lay down,” he commanded.
The man was a giant. I was too scared to move and shook my head ‘no’ watching him. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
“What do you mean when you move your head like that? Speak to me, Ciara,” he said coming closer.
“No,” came out of my mouth.
“No what, Ciara,” he said folding his arms across his chest. He watched me tremble for a moment and then continued. “You are not educated, so I will help you. When you answer myself or my brothers, the word Master should follow whatever you say.”
