JASMINE
I swallowed down a lump in my throat, suddenly a bundle of nerves, as I began trudging up the stairs, ready to make my way to the private lounge that the Golden Ace had restricted to VIPs only.
I dusted my hair off, and smoothed my hands over my ass, hoping that I looked the part.
Hoping that I looked my best.
And then I walked into the booth, and saw four men sitting down at a table together.
There were two older men, who looked about sixty-five years old.
And there were two younger men...
One who looked around thirty-seven, and one who looked around forty.
My heart pounded against my chest, as I drunk in the view of the thirty-seven year-old.
He was gorgeous.
Possibly the most gorgeous man I'd ever laid eyes on in my entire life.
He had dark, rugged black hair, a rugged black beard, pale green eyes, tanned skin, thick eyebrows.
Everything about him exuded power, wealth, dominance.
It radiated from him.
He was wearing tight black clothes – black trousers, paired with a tight pressed long-sleeve black shirt, and black boots.
His clothes were so tight, that you could visibly see his well-built physique. He had huge muscles, and his buttons looked like they were about to burst open.
There was a tribal-style tattoo on his neck, with serpents laced in between thick black lines.
Not only was he built like a Greek God...
He looked like one too.
And I could feel my cheeks burn bright red...
As his eyes darted upwards to lock with mine.
