Hellbound

Let's Gamble

I slid out of the leather seat and handed the lanky valet the keys to the car. I held the boys hand and lowly, said, " keep it." The boy's adam's apple was bouncing quickly as he tried to spit out words. " Shh, pretty boy."

I then walked towards the doors of The Lotus Casino. Ignoring the twinge of guilt for the boy when the police find the car, I push the doors open with both hands. The men staring around me and the envious looks of women let me know that my striking looks are noticed. 5,9', full rack and curvy body attract the attention.

Ignoring the looks of these idiots, I head off towards the poker tables. Putting down the chips Stanley gave me, I entered the game.

"The slots are that way, girly." I willed my head to turn around and look at the idiot, who so kindly called me out. He hadn't looked up yet. His trench coat and fedora, obviously make him suspicious. Not that my own black leather trench coat doesn't help my case, I snort at his attire.

"You have a problem with me missy?" He still wasn't looking at me. I followed his eyes to his hands, he obviously is hiding something.

" I have no problem at all." Slowly leaning forward I continued. " But cheating can get you kicked out of a place like this. I'd watch where you're looking."

He snapped his brown eyes up to mine and quietly growled. Werewolf boy, huh? Let the fun begin.

I smirked as he took in my appearance and snorted. Probably thinking I'm bark and no bite. I growled lowly back showing him I meant harm. Realizing me as part of the supernatural, he scrutinized me. Trying to figure what I am. Sadly he'll only get the stench of my new perfume. I can't have anyone know that a hellhound is back on Earth.

After a couple minutes he huffed and gave up.

Soon the game started, and both me, werewolf boy, and a nicely dressed business man had excelled in the game, and continued on to the next table. This kept on going until we had reached the one million table when the business man dropped a folded piece of paper my way.

He then silently got up from his chair and gathered his chips. With one flick of his eyes two burly men came up behind him. His bodyguards. I knew this man meant business.

His velvet voice spoke." It was lovely playing with the two of you. especially you, my dear."He held out his hand to shake mine. Knowing he has a way for me to get money. I gingerly raised my hand to shake it.

In one swift movement he grabbed my hand and kissed it. Before he let go, he inhaled deeply. Letting my hand drop to my side, I politely smiled. Covering the agitation of him getting a whiff of my scent when he kissed my hand. I knew he now had the knowledge of what I am and I will unfortunately will have to kill him. He smiled as if he knew something I didn't and walked away with the two burly bodyguards quickly following behind him.

The idiot who was still next to me was eyeing our conversation. I turned towards him and he frowned. He slightly leaned towards me and said " I wouldn't get involved with a man like him. He's a rogue. And a pretty girl like you could get hurt." I smirked. He didn't know how dangerous I could be. Moving closer so my mouth touched his ear, I whispered " I wouldn't be so sure pup. I have a lot more than you think." As I was talking, my canines were elongating, and after i finished talking I gingerly scrapped his ear, causing him to bleed.

I pulled back, with him breathing like a bull about to charge. I chuckled and stood. Putting my chips in my pockets. I quickly took the piece of paper from the table and started to walk randomly. I opened the note.

Follow my scent. I'll be waiting.

I stood still and pondered over the possible events. Most likely he'll want me in bed but obviously he now knows what I am and could use that as leverage. The only possible thing I can do is kill him. Great.
