RODNEY has fifty-three thousand reasons to stand on the auction platform. Gambling debt to shark shifters. A week to pay.
And exactly one option that doesn’t involve three years of scrubbing floors: walk into Las Vegas’s most exclusive shifter kink club, put on a blindfold, and let a stranger buy his night.
He’s never submitted to anyone. He’s not sure he can.
But the alternative is the Playground, a no-rules warehouse in the desert, and the sharks have made it clear that’s where he’s headed if he can’t pay.
MORDECHAI hasn’t set foot in Kinky Kritters in over a year. The panther shifter and high-powered attorney came back for one night, not a relationship.
But the panda on the platform, blindfolded, shaking, and stubbornly refusing to break, gets past every wall he’s built. The way Rodney’s skin holds a bruise. The way he whimpers right before he cums.
The way he asks questions no sub has ever thought to ask. One night becomes a week.
Mordechai starts rewriting his entire life around a man who makes terrible financial decisions and the best sounds he’s ever heard. But the polar bear who lost the auction isn’t finished.
He’s found the sharks. He’s bought a private session at the Playground. And Rodney doesn’t get a safe word. What Mordechai does to the men who touch what’s his will change both of them.
What they build after will change everything.
