Dane:
When I first started working for Holt Atwood, I respected him. That respect turned to like, and eventually into love.
But Holt is married to his job, and I am not about playing second fiddle to mergers and acquisitions. So it’s time to move on.
I can do this one last thing for him though. I can go on this singles cruise with him and help him see that work isn’t all there is to life. If I can do that, I will feel better about leaving him with such short notice.
Holt:
Work has been my focus for so long I’ve forgotten what it’s like to just let go and have fun.
At first, when my parents insisted I go on this cruise because I was on the fast track to burn out, I thought I could take my assistant along and make it a work trip.
But Dane has other ideas, and the longer I am around him outside of work, the more I realize maybe everyone is right. Maybe I have been so focused on work I’ve missed what’s really important.
I just hope it’s not too late to convince Dane I want him for more than work. I want him forever.

So yeah, they probably think I’m a loudmouth and a rebel rouser… and they might be right. But I’ve got bills to pay. Debts to clear. They’re costing me some cold, hard cash.
What I want is for them to pack up their little tents and tools and leave.
What I’ve got is a gentle, apple pie, rescue-cats-from-trees archaeologist who’s decided to blackmail me.

Welcome to Meat Market
Where pain and pleasure are taken to a whole new level.
Steve:
Most people know me as the sausage stuffer.
I’ve worked at the meatpacking plant for years, and I’ve perfected my technique.
No one else can pack the sausages as tight, or shape them as perfectly as I do.
No one can even come close.
But that’s not my only job.
At night, I work the stage at Meat Market, and I specialize there too.
I take all the hardcore stuff, things most guys won’t even touch.
If it’s pain and torture you’re after? I’m your man.
But don’t come crying to me if it’s too much for you to handle.
It’s not my job to care.
Nikki:
I just want my life to go back to normal…
but I’m trapped.
This place isn’t as bad as where I was being held… where I was being tortured.
I’m under protective custody now, but I don’t want to be here.
I want to be hooking up with a stranger, and I want to let him take his anger out on my body.
I can’t stop myself from sneaking out every night, risking my life just to get off, and that scares me.
But the thing that scares me the most is how much I miss it … the torture, and the degradation, and the pain.
The way I felt when I was kidnapped and my life was taken away from me.
And there’s only person who can give me that feeling again … they guy on stage at Meat Market.
The one who never takes no for an answer.
