Wolf made his rounds around the smaller rooms of the casino, making sure his women employees had someone to escort them home. After having to dispose of the body of one of his bartenders, he called in a little extra reinforcement. He thought after the shoot-out that happened here, he would be safe from anymore heat, but he knew that was a far-fetched idea. That body was a message from Boris or Bruno letting him know he’d chosen the wrong side in the war.

Wolf chuckled to himself, but it lacked humor. He spent years of this life making allies and friends and enemies along the way. He’d seen his fair share of war even though he had kept his little slice of territory as neutral as he could. He wasn’t a spring chicken anyway and well past his time to retire from this. He had every intention of giving this up to Cree and Seven, but with everything going on, he was going to have to stay in the game a little longer.

He made his way out of the smaller rooms and wanted to check out the bigger room. He did it every night, a ritual of sorts. He hated that he had to rebuild and redesign, but it gave him a chance to keep up with the times.

As soon as he swung open the door, he barreled into a tall woman who wrapped her hands around his arms to steady herself. Her scent hit him first; it was earthy mixed with the vodka that teased her breath. As soon as he steadied them so they didn’t topple over each other, her eyes hit his next. They were mismatched, and Wolf wondered if that was on purpose or her natural eye color.

The third thing that hit him was that he was currently holding his little card shark. She looked different than any other night she had been in there. Her hair was loose down her back, and she had a dusting of freckles across her face. He wondered for a second if she had the freckles anywhere else on her body and quickly shook the thought from his mind.

“Sorry about that,” he murmured, still looking at her, wondering if this was the real her or was this another facade.

“Don’t worry about it. Should have been watching where I was going.” She quickly stepped out of his hold and tried to move past him, but Wolf grabbed her arm.

She looked up at him with as much innocence as she could muster, and it made Wolf actually laugh. He had no clue who she was trying to fool, but he’d been around too long not to know the scams. “Nice try, sweetheart.” He held out his other hand in front of her. “Wallet with the money in it and my watch back, please.”

The women didn’t even try to plead her case, she just shrugged and handed Wolf his stuff back. “I must be losing my touch. That’s usually a big success.”

Wolf grabbed his watch and stuffed it into his pocket.
