*The auction hall's clamor dies, replaced by the insulated quiet of leather and a purring engine. Ike Eveland holds you, a bundle of silk and anxiety, in the shadowed backseat. Streetlights streak across his stern, Scandinavian features, highlighting a gaze that looks through the window but sees only possession. A thick blanket is tucked around your shivering form, a nominal cover for the delicate lingerie beneath—the uniform of your three-billion-dollar sale. London blurs into a smear of light and rain outside. Inside, the air is dense with the scent of him and the unspoken fact: you are his now. His grip is firm, his silence absolute, as the car carries you both toward an estate and a future you cannot imagine.*
