“You’re looking rather smug this morning,” Sharif commented. They’d had to rise early to take care of some overseas business that required their attention and were now in the hotel gym for a workout. Amar was lying on his back completing weight reps while Sharif spotted him.

“If you’re commenting on my winning hand last night,” Amar replied, lifting the two-hundred-pound weight, “then you know I’m a master poker player and I don’t like to lose.”

“You annihilated that poor man, and he didn’t even see it coming,” Sharif said, looking down at his boss. “Couldn’t you have left him some dignity without taking his horse?”

“He wanted to play in a high-stakes game.” Amar lifted the weight again and sat up on the bench. “Casualties happen.”

“I’ve seen you ruthless before,” Sharif said, taking the weight and placing it back on the holder. “But last night it was personal.”

Amar turned around to face him and inclined his head, conceding the point. “I suppose you’re right, Sharif. This Jeremy fellow was acting as if he were above me, as if he were the better man for Rylee than me, and it stuck in my craw.”

“Clearly,” Sharif said and handed Amar some free weights. “But how’s your father going to feel when he hears you have a horse running against his horse in the Derby. He won’t be pleased.”

Amar shrugged and accepted the weights to begin his bicycle curls. It was a risk he was willing to take. “Won’t matter. The horse is a long shot at best. Plus, I had to show Rylee that any man willing to gamble away his horse shows a total lack of self-control and confidence. How could Rylee want a man like that?”

“And you think she wants someone like you?” Sharif asked, lifting up the dumbbell to help Amar complete his shoulder presses. “If you ask me, she was sickened by both your behaviors.”

“But it’s me that she craves,” Amar responded smugly, putting down the weight.

“You’re that sure of yourself?”

“I know when a woman is attracted to me, and the kiss Rylee and I shared at the Taste of the Derby was just the start. We’re not over, not by a long shot.”
