After years of bouncing around from casino to casino as a poker host, you finally found one that you believed you could spend the rest of your career at, thanks to them, your guys.
Six of the best men you could imagine, each one of them with their o...

After the fight died down and security removed the man from the premises, I took a seat at the poker table to gather myself for a moment. Not from the fight, that stuff happens all the time. But from the closeness with Jimin. This guy is a stranger to me and yet just looking at him has my skin tingling.
If he decides to become a regular around here I don't think my body could handle it, I'm already feeling the heat down in my nether region thanks to his non hug a few minutes ago. But as he casually rests his arm on the back of my chair, I try to focus on anything but him, looking around the table as the guys straighten out their clothes.
"That son of a bitch bit me!" Jungkook whines, rubbing the mark on his neck.
"I told you guys to stop doing things like that. You don't need to fight every drunk asshole that thinks he knows better than me."
"This happens a lot then?" Jimin asks beside me.
"Y/N, you're like a sister to us. Do you really think we can just sit by and let a man threaten you like that?" Jin defends, the rest of the guys nodding in agreement.
"It was an empty threat." I wave him off. "And besides, nothing actually happened, he was only trying to intimidate me."
"Honestly Y/N, I'd like to tell you that if you feel that way then we will back off, but we can't. If something happened to you we would never forgive ourselves."
"Yeah I get it." I sigh. "Thank you for looking out for me."
Standing to my feet, I give Jimin a small smile as he pulls my chair out for me, the ambiance of the room returning back to normal as the sounds of chips cracking together fills the room.
"Ello, ello, ello gents! The winners have arrived!" Turning towards the door, a large grin falls on my lips as I see Hobi coming bounding through the door, a slow paced Yoongi following close behind, his usual cloud of smoke surrounding him as he enters the room.
"Hey guys." I smile at them, each of them pulling me in for a hug before they begin to greet the rest of the table.
"Who's the fresh meat?!" Hobi smirks, making a beeline for an unsuspecting Jimin.
"I-I'm Jimin..." He responds, his eyes full of worry and confusion as Hobi grips his chin, tilting it up to get a better look at our new guest.
"Fuck you're hot!" Hobi hisses, biting his lip as he checks him out. "What's your preference, baby boy?"
"Women." Jimin gulps as Hobi drops his chin, walking round to take a seat opposite him.
"Shame." Hobi sighs, reaching over the bum a smoke from Yonngi's pack of cigarettes sat on the table. "Suppose it's only your money I'll get to take home tonight."
"Down Hobi!" I interrupt, feeling sorry for Jimin as he shifts uncomfortably in his seat.
"Oop, sorry doll, is he yours?"
"No!" Jungkook answers for us, his eyes boring into Jimin as he sits innocently.
And honestly, I feel sorry for him. He seems like a sweet quiet guy that tends to keep to himself and after everything he has been subjected to in the last 45 minutes, I won't be surprised if we never see him again after tonight.
Which is a shame. He would be a welcome addition to this crazy bunch.
"It's not like that, he's new in town." I tell them, Hobi nodding in understanding.
"That's cool, sorry man, I can come on a little strong sometimes."
"Sometimes?" Yoongi scoffs, saying his first words of the night, causing the rest of the table to laugh, including Jimin.
"Okay well if you guys are good here, I'm going to rescue Alex from his fan club of cougars. You guys picked up your chips already?" I ask, looking between Yoongi and Hobi. Giving me a thumbs up they put their stacks on the table.
"Y/N, before I forget, are you coming with us on Sunday night for the tournament at Royal Aces poker club?" Taehyung asks me with a hopeful smile.
"Maybe." I shrug. "I'll see how I feel after I kick your asses at the home game on Saturday night."
"Oh really?" Namjoon laughs before nudging Jimin by his side. "I know you just met us, but since you're new in town do you want to come to our home game? It's dealers choice."
Feeling my heart soften at Namjoon's kindness, it reminds me why I'm so fond of this group of men. They have just met him but the thought of him possibly being alone prompted Namjoon to invite him into his home. Jimin could be absolutely anyone and they still extended an olive branch to him. These men are truly unbelievable.
"Sounds like fun." Jimin nods, his smile reaching his eyes, probably thinking the same thing I am.
"Does someone need more chips already?" I frown, noticing the stack of cash sat next to Marjory, All of them following my line of sight before looking up to her.
"Oh" She chuckles. "No sweety, that's just my tips." She waves her hands before starting to shuffle the cards, the guys keeping quiet with their eyes on the table, making me become suspicious.
"Well in that case, let me drop it in your tip box at the cash desk, ya know, to keep it safe." I grin at her, walking round to her side of the table, my movement causing the guys heads to snap up and look at me.
Picking up the cash I fight to hide my frown, counting out exactly $2500 in $100 bills.
"You guys really are the sweetest. You barely managed to play a hand and it looks like you all tipped her $500 each already. I love how generous you guys are. The world needs more people like you." I smile at them all before walking away with the cash.
How stupid do they think I am? I know this is bounty money, I wasn't born yesterday.
As the door closes slowly behind me, I finally let myself laugh, hearing muffled curses spill out of the room until the door is fully shut.
I gotta give it to Marjory, this was a genius plan.
