Page 66 of Unstoppable Billionaire

A group of five more walks over and all throw $ 20's down, too, while a solid line forms.Some say to me, "Good for you."Others tell Aurei, "I hope she makes you happy.You deserve to be."Some only say, "Congrats, and good luck."

Resa and her group file by too, and she says."I hope I get to see Ruth's face when she hears that you won.She bet everyone double that it would be her, so she owes you $40."She knuckle bumps me.

The jackpot continues to grow.Steve takes it on himself to be the banker.He stacks it neatly and keeps count as they file by.He tells each of them his name and that he is available.Some of the girls give him their digits.

The stack of money is getting high."Damn, Aurei.It looks like everyone here has asked you."

He swoops me off the chair, sits down, then sits me in his lap."I don't remember telling this many girls no, but I guess I did."

When it appears the last one has come and gone, Steve tells us over 100 girls ponied up."That calls for a toast!"He pours us all a stiff drink from the Crown Royal bottle.When we are ready, he stands."Here's to Happy, Happy, Happy!"That cracks us all up, and we clink glasses laughing.

Gaby comes back to tell us that the whole place is buzzing about me."A mysterious woman has captured Mr.Untouchable's heart."

Aurei smirks at me and rubs my back, playing absentmindedly with my halter strap."A wild, mysterious woman."

She checks her text."My boss is here."

"Good."I kiss Aurei."We can thank him for the VIP table and the bottle of Crown, then get that booty call."

Gaby says, "He didn't believe us when we told him you were here."

I frown at her."Why did you tell your boss I was here?Isn't he just thanking me for the idea I had tonight?"

"No.We told him because we recognized you from the picture on his desk."

I am stunned.My mouth drops open.

Aurei asks, "Who's your boss?"

She points behind me."He is."

Everyone turns to look at who has walked up.

"G'Day, Mates."He says to the table in his Australian accent, then he looks right at me and says with affection."Ga day Cobber."

"Clay!"I jump up."Oh my gosh!"I kiss my palm, and he kisses his."What on earth are you doing here?"We slap them together and drag them apart."No, wait.Don't tell me.You won this club at a high-stakes poker table?"

"Aaa, I did."He laughs."But what on earth, as you say, are you doing here?"

"This is my home."

"No, Baby, Vegas is your home."He tells me, and the endearment makes Aurei stand up behind me.Paul and Steve exchange confused looks.Clay looks past me to Aurei but says to me."I see you have made an exception to Rule #1."

"I've forgotten my manners.Let me introduce you."I turn to Aurei and take his hand.He doesn't look at me.He is sizing Clay up.

Clay is a handsome specimen in his early 30's with long brown hair and soft sexy big curls.He is always tan, and his smile is always sincere.He is one of those people that you instantly like.

Clay nods at Aurei and asks me."So who's the luckiest bloke in the world?"

I grin at Aurei."Clay, this is Aurei Moore.Aurei, I want you to meet Clay Quigley."I squeeze his hand, and he looks down at me."Clay was my first."I look over at Steve and Paul, who have been taking everything in."Clay was my first appointment, and he has been booking appointments with Lei and me ever since."

Aurei's eyes register my words.He turns his attention to Clay, who offers his hand to shake.

"I'm her number one fan, Mate."

Aurei grasps it and says in full on alpha-male mode."Not anymore.I'm #1."

"So she's given you the naughty, has she?"He chuckles.
