I tagged along, went with the flow, tried to blend in. Let the guys pick their dates for the evening and go into the room first, that way, I could just leave without them knowing I’d skipped out. I’d already said all the women who’d hit on me weren’t attractive enough, and at some point, they were going to think I was either gay or I was in a relationship.
I’d rather they think I was gay.
My plan almost worked, but then Leo blew it to smithereens. “I’m paying for your woman for the night.”
“Why? I don’t need a man to pay for my women, alright?”
“I know I was kind of a dick to you before.”
“We’re good, alright?” I said quickly. “Pick your girl, and we’ll meet up later.”
“Come on,” he said, completely trashed. “Be cool, man.”
“Are you even going to be able to stick it in when you’re this drunk?”
“Pick.”
Cristo. “Fine, I’ll take the blonde.” I preferred brunettes, so I took the one who was the least attractive, not that it would matter anyway.
“Nice choice,” Leo said. “I want that one…with the cat eyes.” He kinda pointed but almost stumbled over.
He was gonna collapse on the bed, and she was going to rob him blind.
I headed to the back with the blond girl, and we went into a private room. It had a king-size bed, lamps on the nightstands, and a couple couches on a rug. It was a room without windows that reeked of sex.
I had my regulars come to my place.
“I’m Cynthia.” She untied the sash around her robe and started to take it off. “What are you into—”
“Put that back on.”
She stilled, the robe hanging in the crooks of her elbows, her tits out, and all she wore was a little thong.
I only looked at her eyes.
“I said, put that back on. Now.”
She put the robe back on and covered herself.
I set my phone on a table across the room and started to record before I moved to the couch. “You play cards?”
“Excuse me?”
I pulled out a deck of cards that I kept on me sometimes, what I played with the guys while we waited for a deal to finish. Sometimes it could be hours. “Poker? Blackjack? If you don’t know how to play, I can teach you.”
She looked at me like I was crazy. “You’re going to pay me to teach me cards?”
“Yep. Sit.” There was a little cushioned purple stool for her.
She took a seat across the table and crossed her legs.
“Long story short, the guys forced me here, and I’ve got a girl at home that I can’t tell them about. So, we’re going to play cards. Easiest money you’ll ever make.” I nodded to the camera. “Just some proof in case I ever need it.”
“Why don’t you just leave?”
“Because he drove,” I said with a sigh. “I’ve gotta roll with it.”
“Why don’t you just tell them you’re seeing someone?”
I shuffled the deck then started to deal the cards. “Because one of the guys I’m with…it’s his sister. Kinda under wraps right now.”
“And when he realizes you’ve been seeing her, don’t you think he’ll be pissed off, knowing you came here?” She grabbed the five cards I’d put in front of her.
I nodded to the camera. “Hence, the camera. So how about poker?”
She looked at the cards in her hand before she looked at me. “How about Go Fish?”
I smirked. “Not my style, but hey, whatever you want.”

WOLFE
Leo was too fucked up to leave after the fun, so we crashed at a hotel and left in the morning. He drank a full glass of water and popped a couple of pills then leaned against the window with heavily lidded eyes. His phone vibrated in his pocket a couple of times, but he ignored it.
“Maybe you should get that,” I said as I kept one hand on the wheel.
“It’s my dad.”
“Then you should definitely get that.”
“I’ve still got a headache.”
My phone started to ring next, so I retrieved it from my pocket, saw the don’s name, and answered it.
“Have you heard from my son?” he immediately barked.
Leo gave a quiet sigh in annoyance.
“Yeah, he’s with me in the vehicle. We’ll be there in an hour.”
He didn’t ask any questions. Didn’t verbalize his annoyance. “We’ve got a lot of shit to do today.” Then he hung up.
“What do we have to do today?”
Leo gave a loud groan. “I forgot about the shipment from customs.”
“That’s today? Why didn’t anyone tell me?”
“Because we were all balls deep in pussy.”
Not me. I had to sit there and play cards with a sex worker, when I could have been home with the woman of my fucking dreams. What a goddamn waste of a night. I’d taken a shower at the hotel, but I still reeked of sex.
An hour later, we pulled past the gate and onto the vineyard. I left the car outside the house instead of pulling around to the parking lot because I wasn’t sure if Leo could walk that far with his killer migraine.
