~ Dane ~
Between poker hands, Dane Porter watched the raven-haired woman as she played the slot machines across from him. He’d been winning until she showed up, however, now he was losing virtually every hand. Disgusted with himself for allowing the vixen to distract him, he decided to give the cards a rest – for now.
His dick was taking over his mind and there wasn’t much he could do about it – except find a way to satisfy the urge she was provoking within him. And what better way than introducing himself?
Walking over to her, he leaned over her shoulder. “Anyone sitting here?” he motioned toward the seat next to her.
She paused with her hand on the lever, about to pull down and spin the wheels. She looked from the vacant chair to him. Releasing the lever she spun her swivel chair around to face him, nibbling on her lower lip as her eyes did a more thorough inspection of him.
Not quite expecting her to be so brazen, Dane found himself slightly uncomfortable. “…But if it’s taken…”
A smile formed on her lips, amusement in her stunning green eyes. “Is that what constitutes a pick-up line around here?”
He clucked his tongue off of the roof of his mouth and shrugged. “Not sure, I’m vacationing here from New York.” He extended his hand to her. “Dane Porter.”
Her face brightened at the mention of New York. “That so? I’m also from New York. What are the chances?”
He winked as he sat down next to her. “I think it’s destiny.”
She rolled her eyes at him. “Okay, that was just cheesy. I expect more from a New Yorker, you’re disappointing me.”
“Oh, come on! Give a guy a break here. I’m trying to get to know you.” He shot another smile her way. Usually women swooned when he turned on the charm. It was evident she was going to be a little harder, but there was nothing he liked more than a little challenge.
Her expression softened. “I apologize.” She extended her hand to him. “I’m Genevieve Fennel.”
“Genevieve? What a beautiful name.”
“You can call me Ginny.”
“Staying here at the hotel?” He popped his member card into the machine, slipped in a fifty-dollar bill and waited for the credits displayed on the reader.
“I am. You?”
“I am. A suite on the top floor.” He pulled the lever and the wheels began to spin. “So what brings you to Vegas?”
She shrugged. “I’m on my honeymoon.”
He froze for a moment. Well, shit. His smile fell. He was really hoping she’d be available. He cleared his throat and pulled the lever again. “Well, congratulations.”
“No need. It’s a solo honeymoon.”
His brow furrowed, confused. Solo honeymoon? He turned his attention back to her. “I don’t follow.” His eyes lowered to her left hand where a wedding ring should be, but her finger was barren of said ring and he noticed a faint white mark where a ring used to be.
“I was stood up at the altar and the reservations were non-refundable. Being that you’re also staying in the suites you can imagine the amount of money that would go to waste if I didn’t come.” She shrugged, her smile turning rueful. “So here I am.”
Dane was struck speechless for a moment. What do you say to a newly jilted bride-to-be? “I’m sorry to hear that.” Yup, that was the best he could come up with.
She laughed softly. “Don’t be. You had nothing to do with it. It was for the best.”
“Were you with him long?”
“Eight years. High school sweethearts.”
“Oh, ouch.” He turned back to the slot machine, focusing on that a moment as he tried to decide on the best course of action. Stay and try to score, or let her go. It was a tough one.
He watched her out of the corner of his eye as they played, listing the pros and cons in his head. Pro, she was fucking hot. Stunning. And the ache in his groin was becoming a nuisance. Con, she’s fresh out of a relationship. She could be vulnerable and maybe a little too needy for a one-nighter at this point. She was young, he guessed early twenties. If she was with her former fiancé for eight years she may have only ever been with one man so she was virtually a virgin.
Dane clucked his tongue off the roof of his mouth. Was her being inexperienced a con? Nope, nope it wasn’t. He switched that over to the pros list.
“What, is there something in my teeth or something?”
“Huh?” He was so engrossed in his mental list-making that he’d stopped playing completely and discovered he was staring at her.
“You’re staring. I won’t lie. It’s kinda creepy.” Despite her words, there was a twinkle in her eyes and a smile on her perfectly painted lips.
He could feel himself flushing. He wasn’t one to get embarrassed easily, but being caught ogling her did it. Maybe because she didn’t appear like the average girl he would go for. Looking at her, he could tell she had class. Everything from her poise, to her clothing and how perfectly made up she was screamed it. Nope, she wasn’t the typical club hooch he had a tendency to gravitate to.
“Your ex must have been an idiot.” He didn’t mean to say the words, but seeing her smile widen and her cheeks turn an alluring shade of pink made him glad he did.
“Wanna hear something crazy?”
“Sure, I love crazy.”
“He’s a lawyer and it was with one of his co-workers. Cliché, huh?”
“Very. And the fact he’s a lawyer just confirms my opinion that he’s a douche.”
“Not a fan of lawyers, huh?” She’d lost all interest in the machine in front of her and her complete attention was on him – just how he liked it.
“I’m a cop; it’s in our nature to hate lawyers.”
“He was a defense lawyer.”
Dane groaned loudly, making a show out of his mock displeasure, pleased to see her giggling at his antics. “Those are the worst kinds. He did ya a solid.”
The dark-haired beauty laughed. “You think?”
“I know.”
