Page 65 of Auctioned to the Billionaire Stalker

“Fine.”

Carmen looked surprised that I’d caved. “Yeah? You want to move forward?”

I ran a hand through my hair, not caringhow it looked. “Definitely.” I locked eyes with her and cocked my head to the side. “Wait—did you say ‘for the most part’ I have to follow the rules? What does that mean, exactly?”

“You will give her space, and that means her own condo, bought and paid for by you for the duration of the agreement. You will buy her a car. You will give her an allowance for nice things—clothing, jewelry, lingerie—those sorts of things. You will pay for her spa and beauty appointments. And, of course, whatever else she asks for.” She glanced at me. “And that’s kind of a lot. She wants her student loans paid off…”

“I mean, I figured that,” I interrupted, ready to get on with it. Carmen didn’t know it, apparently, but I’d give Daisy whatever she wanted. I caught Nico’s eye, and he shook his head. He seemed to know how I was feeling. Even if he did think I was being ridiculous.

“Just listen,” Carmen snapped at me. “Daisy has five younger sisters, and she’s asking for

college for all of them. She also wants her mom’s flower shop, which is on the brink of bankruptcy, taken care of. And she wants her mom to be checked into some sort of intensive therapy center she found in Arizona. For like a month. That’s in addition to the fees to join the auction.”

My heart melted even more for this woman. “You mean, most of the things she’s asking for are not for herself?” That tracked with what I knew about her.

“Yes,” Carmen nodded. “I had to force her to ask for a condo here in West Bay for after her time with you is up.”

If I had my way, her ‘time with me’ would never be up. But I sure as hell wasn’t going to say that.

“Oh, and a nice vacation somewhere,” Carmen added, looking over the papers in front of her.

I shrugged. “No big deal. I have a house in the Bahamas. We’ll go there.”

“Sounds amazing,” Carmen said wistfully, and I briefly wondered how long it had been since she’d had a vacation herself.

“So, all of that is fine with me. What rules do Inothave tofollow?”

Carmen’s lips twitched. “You’re only the second person I’ve done this for. But if you really want Daisy, I think the two of you would be a great match. I want to see her happy and well cared for. So, I’m willing to give you some inside information to make sure your form matches really well with hers.”

“Form?”

“Sexual preferences form.”

“Oh.” I lowered myself in the chair, unsure I was ready for this conversation. “Show me.”

Carmen pushed Daisy’s sheet of sexual likes and dislikes in front of me.

I read over it, trying to ignore how my cock was feeling. When I got to the part where she enjoys a man taking control, I swear I almost came in my pants.

There was nothing I liked more than controlling the situation. Not in a smack the woman around total Dom sort of way, necessarily. I’d never put a name on it. But I was very comfortable with taking the lead, tying women up, and doling out some light punishment if they didn’t do what I asked.

Life with Daisy was sounding better and better.

“You need to notice this,” Carmen said sliding a perfectly manicured nail along a sentence on Daisy’s form that had a checkmark by it.

I read it quickly. It indicated that Daisy didn’t want anyone who was married, had a girlfriend, or planned to date other women while we were together. “That won’t be a problem.”

Her eyebrows almost touched her hairline. “Seriously? That’s considered the checkmark of death with most of our auction participants. Though I have spoken to a few besides you who are willing to go that route for Daisy.”

Oh my God. I wanted their names so I could have them taken care of… I was surprised at the rage that flowed through my veins at the thought of her with someone else.

“Are the rumors true, then?” Carmen asked. “You’ve given upyour fuckpad?”

I nodded. “I sold it a couple of weeks ago.”

Nico laughed in disbelief. “You’re going to be happy fucking one woman for a while, Lancaster? That’s not what all the rumors and social media posts say.”

I barely glanced at him. “It won’t be a problem.” He had no clue. Once I’d seen and interacted with Daisy, she was it for me. I knew Nico lead a playboy lifestyle. His was way worse than mine had been. But I knew one day, when he least expected it, some woman would knock him on his ass. I hoped I’d be around to see it.
