“The game starts at eight o’clock. You need to be on site at seven. While there is a bar in the room, you need to stick tonon-alcoholic beverages only,” Rhodee’s voice becomes slightly robotic as she rattles off the list of rules.

“Several breaks are scheduled, during which time security will secure the table to make sure nothing is tampered with,” she pauses to take a breath. “This game can easily run into the wee hours of the morning. You will be off Sunday, assuming this happens.” Rhodee stops speaking and I wait her out in case she has forgotten anything. “Oh,” she exclaims. “The game is Texas Hold ’em.”

That part was assumed, so I suppress a chuckle at her excitement.

“Do you have any questions?”

“Just one that I can think of at the moment,” I pause in case Rhodee wants to speak. From what she told me about her job, Aymond told Mr. Sereno that he needed a Shawna. Knowing how much Shawna does for Aymond, Rhodee has a lot to learn.

“What is your question?” she asks. I guess I took too long.

“Sorry,” I say. “What and where is the poker room?”

Rhodee giggles slightly before launching into details of the poker room, including its location.

“Shit!” I exclaim, causing Rhodee to panic slightly. “Not to cut you off, but if I don’t get out of here, I am going to be late.”

We end the call and I rush to get to the casino on time.

It was so busy tonight. Making it to work just in time, eight hours passed by in the blink of an eye.

Reaching the bottom of the stairs leading to my apartment, I find Rod waiting for me. A soft smile crosses my face as soon as I spot him.

Rod rises to his feet as I start up the stairs. Once I get close enough, I wrap my arms around his neck, pulling our bodies flush.

His arms wrap around me, one hand fisting in my hair so he can control the toe-curling kiss.

Pulling back to break the kiss, both of us struggle to catch our breath as Rod rests his forehead against mine.

“Hi,” he murmurs, relinquishing his hold on me so I can open the door.

“Hi,” I repeat, planting one quick kiss before letting us inside.

Rod closes the door as I turn on the table lamp. My eyes roam over his frame. The man is sex on a stick.

Even though I told him I wanted to slow things down, I want him. Remembering our first night together, my body heats.

“I’m not sure what you are thinking about, but I think I like it,” he states, eyebrows raised and a smirk on his lips.

Adding a little extra sway to my hips, I approach him, making sure he sees my gaze soaking in his taut body. Taking his hand in mine, I drag him back to my bedroom. Rod doesn’t put up a fight.

Clicking on the bedside lamp, the room gets bathed in soft light.

Stepping in front of Rod, my hands drift over his chest as my lips move to his neck. Taking the time to actually unbutton his shirt this time, a soft chuckle escapes Rod’s lips.

Peeling the shirt off Rod’s body, my eyes roam over the sharp definition of his muscles. While the chocolate syrup is missing, I can’t help myself. Trailing kisses down his neck, I continue down his torso, dragging my tongue down his chest to his nipples. Rod jumps when I bite one of them.

“You startled me,” he states in explanation as I suck his nipple into my mouth, his words ending with a hiss as I flick it with my tongue.

Moving down to trace the ridges of his abdomen with my tongue, I fall to my knees.

Unbuckling his belt, ignoring Rod’s protests, I focus on my task. Dragging the zipper of his pants down, I glance up at him through my lashes. The heated expression on his face has moisture pooling between my legs.

Gripping the waistband of Rod’s pants, I work them down his legs, taking his boxers with me. His hard cock bounces as it is released from the confinement of his pants. A bead of moisture threatens to fall off the end of his dick. Without thought, I lean forward and lick him from the base of his cock to the tip, like a lollipop.

Helping, Rod steps out of his clothes as I look up his fit form from my place on the floor.

Scraping my nails up the outside of his legs, I bite, lick, and suck my way up his legs. Reaching the vee between them, my tongue travels over his testicles. Gently taking one into my mouth and then the other. Rod lets out a loud groan of approval.
