ASS/Let them keep bidding4

From Create Your Own Story

You shake you head one final time. Now that you have rejected all of the bidders, the auction continues without another pause, the two remaining men bidding back and forth, up to ten coins, then twelve, then fifteen, then eighteen, until the man with pink hair pulls the stocky man aside and says something quietly into his ear. The stocky man nods, allowing the pink-haired man to place a bid of one platinum ilae, worth twenty gold coins. When the auctioneer looks to the stocky man, he silently shakes his head and walks away.

You jump as the auctioneer bangs his gavel, signaling an end to the auction. The pink-haired man hands over the money, gets a receipt, and you are handed over to him. He clips a lead, like a dog's leash, onto the ropes that bind your hands, and leads you out of the auction house. You pass the other three men as they stand in the parking lot outside, and the stocky one says something to the others, and then all three of them look at you in sympathy and slowly shake their heads.

You turn to your new master, trying to decide which of the four he could be. "Are you taking me to your whorehouse?" you ask finally. He shakes his head. "Are- are you a werewolf?" you ask. He shakes his head again. Your mouth is dry as you try to lick your lips, your body starting to tremble as you quickly run out of options. "Are you a mage?"

"Keep guessing," the slender man says, his voice soft, not at all what you expected an incubus demon to sound like.
