High Stakes Nikki by Jennifer Roberts
Nikki is tired of the same old Dick. They've been in Las Vegas for two days and the only thing her husband seems to want to do is lose money in the poker room. While she sits in the hotel bar, she is joined by a sexy married couple who can't seem to keep their hands off one another. After several drinks and many laughs, the couple invites her to join them for a little trip off the strip. Nikki isn't used to meeting new people or trying new things, but something tells her tonight is the night to shed old inhibitions.

This story is dedicated to the city of Las Vegas. I love you, even when I say otherwise ;) The time I have spent in your company has inspired some of the best moments of my life.

Las Vegas is where…

I learned what makes breakups so damn fun!

I shared a room with Shandee who I didn’t particularly like at the time because she is the BOSSIEST person under five feet you will ever know. But by the time we left, we already had plans to move in together and the next three years were awesome! Miss you too, Jessica.

I turned 21 and won $2000 playing Let it Ride! And then I had way too much to drink, lost my purse, and threw up in the car…memories (I have none).

I watched Corinne feed a piece of cake to a suave 80-year-old gentlemen who thought he had, not only a chance at getting an erection, but a chance at sharing it with her. Well, he’ll never know, cause that SOB ate half your cake and then didn’t pay the bill. I thought his generation had all the manners. 

Laura and I spent a beautiful afternoon inside of a Walgreen’s bathroom, exploring the depths of our friendship and then not looking each other in the eye for the rest of the day. YES! THIS IS NOT TALKING ABOUT IT!

Nicole and I run the damn poker table while I make loud obnoxious jokes and she giggles while grabbing up all the money. Where we drank all day by sitting at the bar and putting the same $10 in the machine every time someone was looking. Where me and my entire family tried to explain that though you’re are white as Snow White after she’s spent winter in Alaska…you’re still our family.

I spent one glorious weekend with a very sexy man. I sent you a text on Friday and right after work you took a seven hour drive and a plane ride with my crazy ass. We had the most amazing time and three years later we went back to Vegas and got married. I’d do it all again. In fact, let’s do it again – call me. lol

Las Vegas…with your plentiful food options and unending supply of alcohol – how could we resist.

CHAPTER ONE

"Another?" asks the sexy, young bartender.

Yes, I mutter under my breath and then add, Please. This will be my third glass of wine and the evening is still very, very young, but this is Vegas, and I’m sure no one would mind if I were drunk sun-up to sunset. And I need the damn drink. The bartender nods and turns away to get the bottle and refills my glass. Thank you.

I’ve been sitting in the hotel bar for the last two hours, waiting for my husband, Dick, to finish up in the poker room and take me out dancing. We were supposed to have dinner too, but when I came to visit him in the poker room to pry him away, he simply handed me a hundred dollars in chips and told me to order
