Part I
The room was almost full of cigar smoke. It was so thick you could barely see the surroundings. The flickering light was playing with shadows on the walls. The silence was so dead you could hear the tip of the cigar slowly burning out.
“Mr. James, you have got no money left to get back into the game. What are you gonna do?”
The skinny guy couldn’t see the man in front of him but he saw the tip of his cigar slowly burning in and out.
“I’m gonna bet my sister. If you win, you get to spend a week with her. I know rich people have very weird wishes, sometimes. So, you might be interested in it.”
Two rows of perfectly white teeth sparkled in the darkness of the room, and the man replied,
“How do I know your sister is worth it?”
“Here’s a picture of her. Model agencies are busting their asses to sign a contract with her, but she is not interested. She dreams of becoming a detective.”
The skinny guy handed the picture to the man, which he immediately took with his strong, well-manicured hand. The dark silhouette rose up from the chair and brought the picture closer to the lamp, studying the image carefully.
“Alright, Mr. James, we have a deal.”
The girl.
A warm spring wind was blowing in her hair. She loved the beginning of spring. A perfect time of the year when nature was just waking up from a long winter's sleep. Animals and birds were getting ready to start a new cycle of life and were making themselves comfortable in their new homes.
A girl was walking down the street breathing in a sweet smell from a bakery nearby.
Suddenly, she noticed a huge SUV. The same SUV followed her a few blocks away and it looked suspicious. She tried to walk faster, but the SUV kept behind. She switched the speed almost to running, the damn SUV was still there. She was desperately looking for a side street to make her escape, but there was none around.
As soon as she started to run, the SUV stopped. Two big guys came out of it and started chasing her. Curiosity got her. Why in the hell would two big guys chase her? She stopped and started to wait for what was going to happen next.
The man.
How come everything is so easy in life when you are handsome? Life is simpler when you are hot. A light flirt with girls in a bar or restaurant, and they’ll give you everything. As far as he had no worries about his appearance, he worked on his business skills. He became a business shark. If he wanted something or someone, he would take it. No hesitation. He wouldn’t spend more than one night with any woman. Too boring. Blondes, brunettes, blacks, Asians, redheads, they all seemed like one big blur. He didn’t even bother to remember their names and faces anymore. s*x has become more of a physical exercise than a pleasure for him.
His other passion was poker. Players knew him as “Poker God”, and the title has been fairly earned.
Sitting in the car and watching his security guards chase the “trophy”, he brought back all the events of that evening.
… The puny guy handed him the picture of his sister. He took it closer to the lamp, trying to catch some light in the photo. When he saw her he got hard. “What the hell is wrong with you? I haven’t seen it all yet, and you’re already excited,” he said to his p***s.
When the lights hit the picture, he saw an image of a really sexy girl. Light brown with ash-highlighted hair, beautiful green eyes, and full lips. The shot was taken on the beach. A girl was wearing shorts and a T-tank. His brain was trying to figure out if she had her bra on.
The girl was too good to resist, so he agreed to accept her as a bet. In less than five minutes, the puny guy lost the game AND his sister.
“So where can I find her?”
“Every morning, she buys coffee in this place and eats her breakfast at this bakery,” said the guy, writing down the addresses of the places he mentioned.
“Oh, and one more thing. Tell her that her life will change drastically after this.”
The guy nodded his head and quickly left the room…
Sitting in the car, he was watching his security chase the girl down the street. First, they asked her politely to sit in the car, and when she refused to do so, one of the guards simply grabbed her and started to carry her over to the car. Then he opened the door and threw her down on the seat.
He had to adjust his pants. The girl was hot.
“Well, good afternoon,” he said in a calm voice. He couldn’t figure out why she would freak out like that. Her brother didn’t tell her about the deal they’d made? Interesting…
“Hello. So you’re the one who is responsible for all of this? Who are you, and why are you kidnapping me like that?” She looked furious. Her deep green eyes looked amazing.
“Perhaps I should introduce myself first. My name is Hades,” he said while studying the girl. Damn, she was f*****g hot.
“Hades? Your parents must’ve been fans of Greek mythology. Isn’t your father’s name Zeus?” she laughed hysterically at her own joke.
“No, his name isn’t Zeus. You act like you have no idea why my guards grabbed you and brought you here, don’t you?”
“Well, maybe you would enlighten me then?” her eyes rapidly switched from looking at his lips to looking him straight in the eyes.
“Your brother lost you in a poker game. You are my trophy.” Hades was waiting for the girl’s reaction.
“Are you high? I don’t have a brother!”
“Then this situation becomes more intriguing,” Hades kept staring at the girl, trying to figure out who was the real victim now. “A few days ago I was playing poker with Mr. James. He told me he was your brother. He had lost all of his money and was trying to win some back. He bet you. In the case of a loss (which WAS the case), I am entitled to have you, as my trophy, for a week.”
“What do you mean ‘entitled to have me’?” the girl started to get nervous.
“‘Entitled to have you’ means,” the man leaned his torso towards the girl, “if I want to eat you out here, I’ll do it.”
“First of all, I have no idea who Mr. James is. Second, I owe you nothing, and you do not owe me. And, finally, I need to use a restroom.”
“Ralph, stop at the nearest café. The lady needs to use a restroom,” said Hades to the driver.
The girl.
Two men came up to her and said, “You need to come with us.”
“No, I don’t! I haven’t committed any crime and I know my rights.”
“We have our orders, miss. Please come with us.”
“I’m not going with you. Leave me alone! Touch me and I’ll scream.”
The next second, they grabbed her and shoved her into a Range Rover which was slowly driving nearby. After she appeared inside the car, she tried to get out by pressing the buttons on the door, but it didn’t work. After she realized that the struggle was futile, she sat back and started to look around.
Normally, she wouldn’t stare at men, but this one had something special about him. The girl was amazed by his athletic figure, broad shoulders, and strong arms. Her friends had always said that men have to have strong arms. Then she looked at his face and froze. If ancient gods did exist, she had one right next to her. Ideally shaped lips and nose, big grey eyes staring back at her – the man’s face was perfect, complete with dark, curly hair. “I must’ve died and gone to heaven,” she said to herself. “The first person to meet me there is this godlike creature.” Meanwhile, the “godlike creature” started to talk:
“Well, hello.”
Dear God, just the sound of his voice made her wet. She was sure he was used to all kinds of attention from women, so she started to attack him:
“Hello. So you’re the one who is responsible for all of this. Who are you and why are you kidnapping me in the broad daylight?” she screamed while looking him straight in the eyes, trying to hide the excitement and interest.
After he told her his name, she became slightly nervous. What does he want? Why did he kidnap her? Is it some kind of weird reality show? After he mentioned her “brother”, she was totally lost.
“Are you insane? I don’t even have a brother!” If she had a brother, he would have big, big problems. The handsome man continued to talk and amazed her once again.
“What do you mean ‘entitled to have me’?”
“‘Entitled to have you’,” he leaned himself closer to her so that she could smell the expensive perfume, “means that if I want to eat you out right now, barely anything would stop me.” She got too horny. It was too much.
She desperately needed a break from him and his seductive eyes. Stepping outside for a gasp of fresh air seemed like a plan.
“First of all, I have no idea who this Mr. James is. Second, I owe you nothing and you don't own me. And, finally, I need to use a restroom.”
The car stopped at her favorite cafe where she used to buy coffee and the godlike creature told her:
“You have ten minutes. One minute more and I will carry you out by myself.”
“Alright, I got it. I’ll be right back.”
As soon as she entered the building, she started to come up with possible escape options. Call the police? Yeah, but what would she tell them – a man is trying to seduce me in his car after winning her in a poker game? She had a few guys she knew at the police station, but no one would do anything unless she offered s*x in return. Plus, the situation itself was a bit too weird to believe in the first place. “Maybe the restroom would have a window I could escape through?” a thought popped up in her head.
When she finally opened the restroom cabin, she was pleasantly surprised to find out the cabin did have a window wide enough for her to squeeze in. She quickly took a pee, opened the window, and got through it, finding herself out in the back of the cafe.
