Auctioned to her Brother's Best Friends

CHAPTER 1

Adele

The couple sitting at my blackjack table is wasted beyond hell, and yet for some reason, they won’t leave.  I keep my fake smile plastered on my face and deal the cards, and when he sees the ace on top of his nine, he grins.

Aw hell, looks like I’m gonna take the casino’s money again, he says with a chuckle.  His girlfriend snickers and puts her head on his shoulder.

If you win, you can do anything you want when we get back to our hotel room, she coos.

The idea of these two fooling around makes my skin crawl, and I can see from the other players at the table that I’m not the only one that’s uncomfortable.

You heard the lady, he says to me, waggling his bushy black brow.  Help me then, dealer.

I finish handing out the rest of the cards and flip mine.  It’s also an ace.

Shit, he mutters.

Would anyone like insurance? I ask the others.  A few nod enthusiastically, but the couple directly across from me glare at me.

Do it, baby, she whispers.

He shakes her off and stares at me intently.  I don’t think she has blackjack, he says simply.  He’s the kind of guy I immediately hate upon meeting them.  He speaks with unearned confidence.  I know that if it weren’t for all the booze he’s been downing, he wouldn’t be anywhere near as cocky.  He’d probably snag insurance first.

But now that he has an audience and he wants to impress everyone, he’s acting irrationally.  He’s acting like a prick to make everyone think he’s cooler than he actually is.  I say a quick prayer, praying that I have a ten underneath the second card.

When I look at the card underneath, it’s a king.

I bite back a smile and flip my second card over.  Immediately, there are two reactions.  Relief from those who agreed to have insurance, and explosive anger from the man across from me.  He stands up quickly, his chair falling backward, and stares at the cards.

This is bullshit, he shouts.  This bitch is cheating.

I can see he’s getting more and more aggravated, so I press a small button under the table to call for security.  Within seconds they descend on him, pulling him away while his girlfriend screams how they’re being unfair and treating him poorly.

This is why I hate my job.

It wouldn’t be that bad if I did this somewhere without alcohol, but instead, I’m working at this casino in Vegas dealing with alcoholics every other day.  I’m not that tall, standing at around five-three, so when big guys like that get pissed off, I can’t help but feel worried about my safety.  And does the Red Royale management even act like they care about that?

Hell no.

If I could get out of doing this, I’d quit this job in an instant.  I’d find somewhere else.  Hell, I might even go back to being a waitress if I could find somewhere that got me plenty of tips.  But I can’t.  I don’t have a choice right now.  Not after what happened to dad.

The thought makes my stomach twist like it always does.  I don’t know if I’m madder at him for being so easily fooled or at the man that scammed him into taking
