Chapter Four

Patrick’s email program dinged to let him know he had a new message. He ignored it for a few minutes as he finished up the paperwork he was on focused on, allowing a rueful smile to touch his lips. Even though they didn’t pay taxes, his business still required inventory and calculating expenses. It was amazing, and more than a little amusing, to realize just how much he had in common with a legitimate entrepreneur.

Finally, he turned his attention to his email, sorting through the five new messages. Four of them were easily dealt with, but the fifth was a puzzle. The subject read: “You’ll find this interesting.” He didn’t recognize the name of the sender, and when he clicked on it, it took a moment for his eyes to comprehend what the body of the email was telling him.

A cursory look led him to believe it was simply junk mail that had escaped the spam filter, but as he scrolled back to the top, more of the email caught his eye. It was from some site called BeHerFirst.com, and he scowled when he realized it was an online auction place for virgins to sell their virginity to the highest bidder.

With a snort of disgust, he started to click the delete icon, but his fingers froze as a particular face among the seven pictures jumped out at him. “No way.” His hand shook slightly as he moved the mouse to click on the familiar face. His browser opened a second later directly on the girl’s profile. His girl’s profile.

Lauren stared back at him with a sweet expression, but with a sultry look in her eyes. According to her profile, she was twenty-two and tired of being a virgin. She wanted to use her assets to start a new life, and then she listed her favorite traits about a man. Underneath the box listing her preferred traits, the site had a disclaimer that bidders did not have to meet any of those requirements.

Anger fizzed in his stomach like a freshly opened soda, and he clenched his hand tightly around the mouse, only forcing himself to stop when the plastic started to yield. “Sonofabitch.”

With another curse, he pushed away from his desk and out of the leather chair, striding across the hardwood floor as he made his way to her room. She would likely be there, since it was almost eleven p.m. She’d better be there alone. And that email had better be a colossal fucking joke.

He pounded on her door before stepping inside, not waiting for permission to enter. She was just coming out of the bathroom, and he stumbled to a halt when he saw the thin robe clinging to her damp curves. He took a deep breath and exhaled through his nose, trying to rein in his raging heart rate and ragged exhalations. He felt like a stampeding bull as he stared at the innocent woman before him.

Innocent? He snorted softly. Physically, she might be, but emotionally, she was a forty-year-old seductress with years of experience behind her.
