Tristan struggled against the handcuffs binding his hands behind his back to the pole embedded into the floor. He had been looking into what had happened to Jose's niece. Jose had been a good friend of his that had dragged him out of Kandahar over his back. He was a good man that had to smuggle his niece, Maria, into the country. The only thing was that she hadn't shown up.
Since Jose was stuck in a VA hospital, Tristan had put it on himself to find out what had happened to Maria. He had spent three weeks tracing her through the smuggling ring to the human trafficking cartel to a mansion in the middle of absolute nowhere.
The last thing he remembered was hiking through the woods behind the mansion trying to sneak past the ominous number of tuxedoed sentries packing submachine guns to look inside for her. Then a dart from dart gun had embedded into his neck and he fell over. The next thing he knew he was here his fatigues gone and wearing a tuxedo and a ball gag.
He glanced around the room he was kept within. It was a room in some sort of large and opulent mansion. The walls were decorated with red and gold French baroque design, the floors were elaborate Marble. Across from him was a great window looking over the forest he had approached from at night, which was disconcerting since when he was shot nightfall was several hours away.
Before him was velvet rope that barred off the area of the room taken up with the dais he stood upon. The rest was a solid wooden pole that felt carved elaborately underneath his hands. He strained again to break free of the handcuffs bound to the pole. His ankles were chained to the bottom as well.
The drug from the dart must've knocked him out for a long time. His struggles increased. Just a little more and he could squeeze his hand through the cuff. He was not going to let these bastards sell him off.
Men wearing uniforms that looked like servants and footmen from the revolutionary war era complete with wigs and frilly sleeves, but these wore solid, featureless, black masks under their white wigs. Tristan glared at them. By the way they moved he could tell these weren't costumed clowns, these were seriously bad dudes. One had a tattoo on the back of his hand he recognized from a Russian prison.
One released the velvet rope as the other bowed as two women entered wearing formal ball gowns and carnival masks.
"...This one is a brand new acquisition," One said to the other. The guard holding the velvet rope bowed holding out a hand to help both ladies step up on Tristan's dais. "He has received absolutely no preparation what so ever..."
He glared daggers at both of them as the approached him.
"...As you can see he still has a tremendous amount of fighting spirit within him..." The saleswoman said to the other, "...Why we'd recommend only the most skilled master or mistress to take on the challenge this slave would represent."
"Master! Mistress! Slave!!!!" To hell with that. He pulled growling around the gag staring down at the woman that the saleswoman was trying to sell him to. She had some pretty eyes...too bad he couldn't see the rest of her face underneath that mask...and too bad she was a sick twisted bitch considering buying people in a human trafficking operation.
"...Would you appreciate a closer inspection..."
The woman nodded, the barest of gestures, and the sales woman reached up and undid his bowtie. Then with practiced swiftness she began unbuttoning his shirt down to his cummerbund. She finally spread his shirt wide baring his shirt to the woman's gaze.
"...As you'll note, despite the base crudity of the tattoo on his chest and down his arm this slave is exquisitely in shape...strong and quite appealing to the eye. Young and virile too..."
He shook and growled a low rumble as the saleswoman ran her hands over his chest down to his abs and lower.
"...Would you care to touch it yourself?"
He pulled on the cuffs one more time. Finally his hand slipped loose of the cuff. He grabbed the saleswoman and shoved her off the dais and into the Russian footman. He pulled out the ball gag. The woman that was going to buy him just stood there.
Seeing the gaurds coming onto the dais now his hand shot out, fingers clamping around the woman's throat.
"Let me go or I'll crush the bitch's windpipe right here."
He looked into the woman's eyes. They were the only thing he could see of her. She had deep eyes...like the ocean...a man could get lost in those eyes.
She spoke, a simple sentence of a few words, but a command of unyielding steel. Maybe he was still wary from the tranquilizer but at that command his hand lifted.
The gaurds were on him in the next heartbeat. The Saleswoman was back up and reaching back in her bag pulling out a hyperdermic needle. "Apologies, my lady, but to prevent any more such outbursts this one will have to be sedated through the auction."
The gaurds pulled out his arm pushing up his sleeve for the needle. Tristan wrestled and struggled mightily but was unable to break free of their hold as the saleswoman calmly walked up and sunk the needle's tip into a vein of his arm.
"No," He cried out glaring up at the woman who looked down upon him like a bug under her boot.
A few minutes later the world became blurring and fading into black. Yet his never left her even as the light went out behind them.
