Its Y/N's job to accompany Sevika to a game of poker. Tensions rise, and not just with the other competitors. A Sevika x Y/N short story. I'm honestly not sure how I feel about this one so any tips or suggestions for improvement would be greatly appreciated! Warnings ⚠️: Slight swearing, smoking, fluff, no smut, gxnb

Sevika is a big-name out there, and while her relationship to your tax-collector is still yet to be determined, it's quite obvious that she's found her feet and will only continue to rise taller. You wish you would have seen her challenge Vander. Not because you had anything against him, but because it would be so very curious, so very exciting to watch a woman like her bare her teeth at him. You continue: "What's it got to do with you?" Your tone's a little sharper, a little more daring. Bite, woman. Bite. Sevika's lip twitches and then she smirks openly. She wears confidence like it is arrogance, with ease and languor. The only thing that makes the distinction between the two is that she is not foolish. Her eyes are watchful. She's not stupid enough to get caught up in her own image. Your heart thuds off-beat.
