Eight

Nate was tired of the tournament already and they still had three days to go. Hosting it was good business, but now that he had Annie in his bed, the tournament and the chaos that surrounded it could disappear for all he cared.

He eyed his watch impatiently. There were two hours left of play today. Annie was doing well. She’d already single-handedly eliminated three people at her table. Before long, she would move on to another.

He’d tried not to hover. There were dozens of tables to watch and VIPs to entertain, but he kept wandering back in her direction. She had a gravitational force that seemed to impact only him. No matter how hard he tried to pull away, she’d draw him back to her. If he’d been smart, he would’ve left a few hundred miles between them. Now he had no way to fight it.

And he no longer wanted to.

Nate needed to focus. His short list of potential cheaters required his attention. Annie was watching another player at her table today, but she’d muttered under her breath into the wire that it was another dead end. He wasn’t about to give up, though. An entire team of security staff was watching the tables from overhead security cameras in addition to the people on the floor. A couple were plainclothes, but most were in the standard navy blazers with earpieces that gave them away. Gabe had been assigned to watch Eddie. A few of his best guys were assigned various other people, which now included Tessa.

As much as Annie insisted she would turn over her sister if necessary, he knew she wouldn’t go out of her way to collect evidence against her, either. If she was more than just Eddie’s girlfriend, his team would have to be the ones to uncover it.

Annie’s laughter called to him over the chaos of the room. He turned, drawn back to her. She looked so lovely today. Her shiny dark hair hung loose around her face. Her vivid purple blouse was clingy and unbuttoned low enough to give all the players an ample view. She knew it, too, leaning forward innocently onto the table. If she wasn’t careful, someone might see the tiny black microphone nestled between her breasts.

Nate’s jaw tightened. He knew it was simply a part of her game strategy, but that didn’t mean he had to like it. They might not have much of a marriage, but they were telling people they had reconciled. Seducing her opponents at the table didn’t do much for their cover. If it was even a cover anymore. His pangs of jealousy felt real. The lines had become terribly blurred lately.

He took a deep breath and tried to focus on her game. The other player went all in. Nate watched, knowing Annie wouldn’t give away a single thing. Her face was serenely calm, her lips parted in a smile that would confuse any man. She sat for a second, mentally calculating her hand and how best to play it.
