Lady Luck (Chapter 2)

Cain Salvador

I watched from across as she raises her opponents to the brim, they are regulars here but are already shaken from someone like her "all in" I bite my lip but fail to stop the grin forming as I hear her words, she's daring all right.

My eyes managed to follow her every move and when the dealer announces after flipping the cards, I know she won. That smug grin drawn all over her face said so as she collected her winnings.

I stood up from my seat and walked towards her, the crowed clearing a path as they noticed me. "Congratulations love," I say with my eyes fixed on her "You certainly know how to have some fun."
She answers with a chuckle "of course, you could say I'm quite lucky" God, that adorable face..

"Lucky huh? I suppose I'll have to believe you on that." I say with a playful tone, while my eyes refuse to leave hers.

As the casino aids become busy bringing her winnings to the counter, I decide to use this opportunity to step closer to her until our bodies are only inches away. I could smell her perfume from here, not because it's strong but because it's sweet and more different than whatever's lingering in the air.

"May I buy you a drink, love? Celebrate your victory with you?" And to ease this damn tension I've been holding in since the conference meeting I had before going straight here.

I caught her glancing at my table and she must have noticed the trays of chips I just won cause she suddenly let out a chuckle "I guess we're celebrating your victory as well."

My chest vibrates from a chuckle as well while my hand somehow found its way gently resting on her lower back. "Oh I'm always celebrating my victories. But tonight, I think I'd much rather celebrate with you." my voice low and sultry.

I lead her to a bar, ordering a round of drinks for the both of us. The same lips that's stained with red pigment brushed against her glass, I can't help but wonder if they'll still taste like strawberries or be stained with alcohol.

fuck! I'm losing myself here, get it together Cain. What the fuck is wrong with you?!

I found myself leaning towards her ear to whisper while my hand traced light circles on her back "You know, I had a feeling that Lady luck is on your side tonight for more than just gambling."

She turns around with a slight smirk tugging on her lips "what if I told you that I'm Lady luck?"

then I'm the luckiest bastard in the universe right now!
