And I knew what this scandal would do to her mother—and to Jasmine. Plus… Sully would kick my ass for touching his sister and not saving her from this place. I wouldn’t blame him one bit for it. We all rebel in our own way, but I knew enough about Jasmine that she did care what her mother and others thought. She would be devastated if this hurt the VanDoren name, and I wasn’t going to allow her to make that mistake.
“You don’t belong in this place,” I hissed, my lips nearly touching her earlobe. “You have no idea what’s about to happen here tonight.”
“It’s too late,” she said as she stiffened her spine and pulled back her shoulders. “I’m here, so I might as well make the best of it and join—”
“The hell you will,” I interrupted through clenched teeth to try to control the level of my voice. “We’re getting you out of here, now.”
I tightened my grip on her arm and began to lead her out of the room, but just as I started, the bang of a cane from one of the Elders stopped me mid stride.
The symphony stopped. The room grew silent. And then the rest of the Elders banged their canes in unison, and I knew exactly what that meant.
The evening had begun.
“Members of the Order,” the Elder called out, “choose your girl in pearls for the evening.”
Every member reached for the nearest female and took hold of them as I had already done with Jasmine. I noticed a member had pulled my belle to a shadowed corner, and I couldn’t make out who exactly it was who claimed her. But regardless, she was claimed already so I didn’t have to worry about her being alone and waiting for me.
“Girl in pearls,” the Elder commanded, “kneel.”
I watched all the women obediently fall to their knees in front of the member who claimed them for the night. Jasmine hesitated for a moment as she turned her head and watched what the other women were doing. To not stand out or make a scene, she had no choice but to mimic what each woman had done.
Jasmine lowered to her knees before me, and I knew at that moment that quietly leaving the room unnoticed was no longer an option. The evening had begun, and unless I wanted to reveal who my girl in pearls was… we needed to continue on as everyone else was.
My cock twitched, because I knew exactly what would come next. Jasmine’s face was inches from my groin, and there was no turning back now.
The Elder banged his cane against the floor again as he took a hold of the hair of the girl kneeled before him. “Girl in pearls,” he called out. “Prepare to pleasure.”
The symphony began playing again as if they knew their exact cue. Members were lowering their pants, or at the very least yanking their dicks from their flies. Veils were being lifted, and I panicked. I would have to lift Jasmine’s veil, and the only way to hide her face from the others who might recognize her was to…
Well, the only way to conceal her face was to have it pressed up against my cock.
I took this opportunity when everyone was distracted with what was about to occur and leaned down so only she could hear my voice. “You can run out of here and keep running. I won’t stop you, and everyone else will be too busy until it’s too late. Run.”
She shook her head. “I’m staying. There’s no way to leave without anyone noticing. If you recognized me…”
“Jasmine—”
“I’m staying.”
With that, she took hold of my pants and lowered the zipper with grace and ease. Her delicate fingers reached inside and grasped my stiff cock, freeing it from all restraints. She then lifted her veil, and for the first time tonight, I got to truly see her entire face.
I always knew Jasmine VanDoren was a pretty girl. She had always been the charming Southern belle who my mama would have been proud for me to marry. She would “give me beautiful babies,” my mother would say.
But right now, as she looked up at me with her big blue eyes, and as she licked her pouty pink lips, I couldn’t help but grow rock-hard in anticipation of what would come next.
The Elder banged his cane on the floor again, the symphony stopped playing, and everyone froze. “Restrain your girl of pearls,” he commanded.
Every member, including myself, reached for the silver scarf that had been given to us as we entered the white ballroom and walked behind our kneeling girl. I took hold of Jasmine’s wrists and pressed them together against her lower back. Leaning down to her ear, I whispered, “We are at the point of no return.”
Her only response was a small nod, and I watched as a small shiver rocked her body.
