The Auction
chapter 32

Draco POV

I pull into my drive. There is no van and no minions. Either they havebeen and gone or Glenn got them. I have not received a text fromanyone. Not even Jayne.

I get out of the car and go around to help Tatina. I open the door andscoop her up. She is still so weak. I take her into my home. I take herdirectly to the guest room. I lay her on the bed still wrapped in theblanket. I enter the guest bathroom and begin running a hot bath forher. I have got to clean her up.

I leave the water running and go to retrieve her. I undress her veryeasily. She is covered in bruises. I remove the diapers. What has hedone to her? There is not a part of her body that is not covered inbruises or blood. There are marks from a belt all over her.

I carry her to the tub. I place her in the water. She jerks as I lay her inthe water. I keep my arm behind her head. She is still out of it. I washher body carefully. The dried blood and feces that coats her body isvanishing into the water.

I unplug the tub to release it and refill it with clean water. I wash heragain and again trying to make her clean. She opens her eyes.“Where am 1?" she asks.

"You are my guest. I could not have you smelling up the place. I amsorry if I scared you,” I say.

She nods and closes her eyes. She drifts back off into slumber. I pickher up out of the tub. I grab a towel and wrap it around her. I carry herback to the guest bed. I lay her on the bed wrapped in the towel. I amsure I have something here to fit you.

I reach into a drawer and replace a shirt and a pair of shorts. I slip the shirtover her head. She doesn't move. I touch her leg to put the shorts onher.

“Please don't. I can't take anymore. I am sorry,” she cries.

I sip them up quickly and cover her with a sheet. I take her old clothesand the blanket out of the room. I take the disgusting things to thetrash. As I am about to return to her. I hear moving in the basement. Igo down to check on the woman.

Lila left her in the box. I unfasten the belts and chains. I release her.“Are you okay?” I ask.

“No, I am not,” she says.

“I will have some food brought down for you,” I say.

“Are you going to rape me now?" she asks.

“No. I have no intentions of harming you,” I say.

“Thank you,” she says.

I leave her in the basement and return to the upstairs. I go into thekitchen to let the cook know we have guests.

“Henry please prepare a meal for the guest downstairs and one in theguest room, please,” I say.

He acknowledges my request and continues with what he is doing. Ileave the kitchen to check on Tatina.

My phone is buzzing in my pocket. I take it out to look to see who it is.It is Jayne.

*is she okay?*

I reply *she will be*

I go back up the stairs to the guest room to check on my guest. She isstill sleeping. I know when she wakes all of this will be very confusingfor her. I have to handle my little prize in the basement at some point.Right now I need to focus on Tatina.

I sit down on the end of the bed. I watch her sleep. Why in the hell washe punishing her so hard? What could she have done to make him loseit like this? I have heard stories about things he has done. I am no saintbut I have never left someone in this condition.

The door opens slightly. It is Henry.

“I took the little lady in the basement food and a coke. She was mostgrateful. Here is something for her if she is awake,” he says.

“Thank you, Henry," I say.

I gently shake Tatina. “Tatina, you need to wake and eat,” I say.

She gently rubs her eyes. She looks at me. “Where am 1?” she asks.“Jayne asked me to take you from Craig so I did. Do you rememberanything?” I ask her.

“No, I am so fuzzy,” she says.

“You need to eat. We need to get those drugs out of your system,” Isay.

“Can you help me up?” she asks.

I lean over and pick her up. She is so light. I walk over to her food andsit her down. She groans. She begins to eat slowly.

“You are okay. I am going to let Jayne know where you are,” I say.

She tries to smile but her face is swollen.

“Thank you. I thought I was going to die,” she says.

“What did he do to you?” I ask.

"He was mad. He found a message from Glenn on my phone. He knew Iwas helping them,” she says.

“Glenn is no saint. Do not be fooled. The authority is very corrupt,” Isay.

“He was treating me like a baby. Glenn told me to start calling himdaddy and that it would trigger something in him to make him trustme,” She says.

“Well, Glenn set you up. I am sorry to say. It set in motion a very volatilegame. Craig is a son of a bitch,” I say.

“ just wanted to help. Glenn said there were women in the basementbeing mistreated and he needed my help,” she says.

“Tatina the woman is here. She is in my basement but she is not hurt. Iam going to help her. I promise you no harm will come to her,” I say.“Why are you buying women to breed?” she asks.

“It is not what you think. I will explain everything to you when you feelbetter. Please eat. I am going to call Jayne for you,” I say.

She continues eating. I pull out my phone to call Jayne. There is a text.“Trust no one. I am on the run. Give Tatina my love. Please keep hersafe*

Oh shit. What have I gotten myself into now?

“Tatina, you are going to be my guest for a while. Jayne is in trouble,” Isay.

I show her my phone. She begins to sob.
