Scarlett POVOliver turned and smiled when he saw me, and I smiled back."It's good to see you on your feet, Miss Helen." Oliver greeted me, I guess Will must have already said something to him."I'm fine, a bit of a headache, but manageable," I answered an invisible question, and Oliver smiled a little more."I saw that there's a boat with various items containing salmon... It's good to see that they're looking after you." Oliver said as if he was ignoring Will and Nick on purpose."Yes, they are..." I started to speak."Good." Oliver interrupted me, then went over to the table and opened a folder that was there. "I've brought the new version of the contract, as you informed me earlier."I was surprised to hear this, they had spoken to Oliver about the changes, but it made sense because the contract was very important to the Auction staff. People's safety was something they valued. No one wanted the Council or anyone investigating and snooping around. After all, given the amount of b

Scarlett POVThe temperature in the room is lower, enough to make my skin immediately shiver. Nick and Will are standing side by side, both without their suits, without ties, and with the first two buttons of their shirts open.The light in the room is only half-lit and yellowish, a calming tone that is also good for the imagination. They're both looking at me as if I'm their prey.I think it's the first time I've seen Will with a posture very similar to Nick's and I shudder, swallow dry, and walk back to the middle of the room. I'm not too close to them as they're standing at the foot of the bed.Nick is the first to move, he walks slowly, and his footsteps are strong and resonate through the room. I have to force myself to breathe normally because I instinctively want to hold my breath or ask him to come soon, but I keep my mouth shut, and my gaze doesn't stray from his.Nick then stops in front of me, one step away, reaches out with his left hand, and runs the tip of his finger alo

Scarlett POV"That's why we're playing today like this," Will said, and I turned my face to him. "It's the beginning of the apprenticeship, you're not going to leave today knowing everything, but you're going to get the first kick.""Got it." I took another deep breath."Now I'm going to do the same on this arm, and we'll take it from there," Will commented and began to pass the ropes."I hardly feel your touch." I began to describe. "I feel the pressure of the strings when you pull, but when I feel your fingers it's like feeling a brush, or a feather. Soft... It's like watching a painter while she's brushing a canvas."Will finishes in the same way as Nick, leaving a loop on my shoulder."It's a good comparison." Will smiles and then they both change positions. Nick at my back and Will in front of me. "Now we're going to use the ropes to pass through your body, you won't be able to see very well, just the front, but you need to keep describing the sensations."I took a deep breath, n

Scarlett POV "Got it," I said and stood up, concentrating. Nick tapped the clips lightly, and I let out a low moan of pleasure.Then I felt Will grab the left curve of my ribs, pull the skin a little and a clip was placed there. It was not at all like the sensation on my nipples, it was just sore and even a little uncomfortable."It hurts and it's uncomfortable," I said, wriggling around, pulling my shoulder up. Nick watched me carefully."I'll put another one on," Nick said and showed me another clip. He stroked the left side, perhaps near where the kidney would be, and gave it a light caress.  He bent down, gave it a light bite, and then attached the clip. This time, the pleasure was mixed with the pain that came only at the end.

Scarlett POV I can feel myself taking something, as well as the warm water on my body. I manage to open my eyes for a few seconds and understand that they're bathing me, then I close my eyes and open them when I'm placed on the bed, Will is finishing covering me, I let out a low sigh and turn around, grabbing a pillow and hugging it. I take a deep breath, feeling my muscles complain as I move. I know it's morning, I just hope I didn't sleep too late, I yawn and stretch, and then I manage to force myself out of bed. My hair is loose and I can see several marks on my skin, some small red knots and others more purple. Maybe if someone saw me now they'd think I'd blacked out. Well, technically that's true, but I don't feel bad. I'm hungry and my body aches, but nothing annoying, I got u
