Chapter Six

“Don’t thank her too quickly,” Whetlock advised. “There are seven more rounds to go. I feel sure some of it will come up.”

“I’ll worry about today’s problem today. I hate to ask, but…have they assigned me something to wear?”

The two men looked at each other. “I fear so.”

She sighed. “Just hand it over. I’ll do what I have to.”

He handed her a pile of fluffy, gauzy stuff that would obviously cover nothing. “You put this over it,” he added, passing something of a heavier material.

Devonne shook out the lighter fabric to find harem pants, tied together with ribbons at hips and ankles, and a tunic top also fastened with ribbons at shoulders and sides. It was all in shades of pale pink and green. “Yech. Somebody’s got really terrible taste. And pink is not my color at all. I hope it doesn’t put Raje off.”

The lawyers looked at each with a shade of relief lightening each face. They really had been worried about her reaction. Then his attorney grinned. “I don’t think you need to worry about that.”

“Well I hope not. He’s got the tougher job today. I can hardly wait to see how they’ve outfitted him.”

“It’s…interesting,” Whetlock said. “I think he may be more embarrassed about it than you.”

She shrugged. “I haven’t gotten into this mess yet. I haven’t exactly got a holovid model figure.”

Both men looked her up and down. Whetlock said, “You’ll look fine in those things.”

The buzzer sounded, warning her to prepare. The men left.

Devonne had to draw in a deep breath to steady herself. She wasn’t nearly as complacent about putting on that gauzy stuff and performing sexually in public as she tried to act.

Her irritation grew as she struggled to get into the mess of transparent fluff and tied the prissy ribbons holding it together. There were no shoes and the material covered nothing. The heavier cloak did provide cover, but she figured that was just to make her unveiling all the more dramatic.

They escorted her out to the field to a swelling roar of approval from the crowd. Instead of the maze from yesterday, the center circle contained a raised circular dais. In the center of it sat a padded platform with posts at all four corners but no curtains hanging from them. A sheet of white material lay on top of it. Halfway there, one of her guards stopped her.

“Give me the cloak,” he ordered.

The crowd went wild when she removed it. Her figure wasn’t even slightly obscured by the gauzy garments.

“Go,” the guard said, nodding toward the platform bed.

Devonne squared her shoulders and marched toward the platform. She froze when she saw Raje approaching from the other side of the field. Damn, but the man looked good no matter what he wore. Even this. The skintight, red leather leggings accented his long, strong legs and narrow hips. The slit in the front allowed his erect penis to poke through, showing off its proud length and graceful shape.

Before he reached her side, he stopped and gave a cheeky wave to the crowd.
