A while later, we walked through the casino that was supposed to be one of the headquarters to Tezcatlipoca’s right hand men. We were both dressed in expensive suits and grabbed a decent-sized chip rack each. Enough to make the cashier do a double take and pay attention. My new task was to get the invitation for tonight instead of tomorrow so I could spend more time between the legs of my fiery little Pokémon. Even this early, you could see the multiple armed security at the entrance to the stairs and the elevator, as well as a few regular clothes security on the VLT machines with some serious heat on their person.
“Where do you want to start?” Elias asked.
“We need to end up at the poker tables, so let’s start with the roulette. It gives a pretty central view.” I motioned to where there was a small crowd gathered around it.
We started playing. I never gambled much before, but I did some research over the last few days to remind myself of some of the rules. Growing up, Mom hosted casino nights for the teens at the pack house, but Mom always tweaked the rules to make sure there weren’t a lot of fights between hormonal wolves who didn’t know how to lose. I played pretty conservatively to start. The end goal was to make it to the poker tables, and then we could go nuts with the bets, so I started with simple bets on red or black. Elias played the same way until we got to the craps table, but then got a little too enthusiastic with his betting, and holy shit, was he good at it!
A while later, he was close to doubling his chips, and I was dumbstruck at how good he was at this game. Standing off to the side, I watched and bet as the crowd gathered around the table, and then I began to worry about attracting too much attention. Casinos don’t like losing, and the point of this was to have a lot of cash we could be seen losing.
“Maybe we should move on and let another person have a go, Arthur,” I said, bringing attention to the crowd around us and how the security guards were closer than they were when we arrived. Elias looked around before throwing the dice one last time, and then we headed to the poker tables. “You’ll have to tell me how you’re so fucking good at that game,” I whispered low enough that only his werewolf ears would hear it. Elias chuckled.
“I’ve been alive for a long time, young alpha. I was bound to pick up a trick or two.” I shook my head and chuckled.
We got to the entrance of the poker room and requested a high buy-in. We were taken to a table with other stuffy suits and began to play. I fared much better than I thought I would, and then I sunk a few games with high pots to make sure I was losing. This was all a business expense for me, anyway. We played for a few hours, but I was starting to get bored and made a point of showing it by making comments about the low pots. After a while, I stood up.
“Arthur, I’m bored. Let’s go find a casino with a higher buy-in.” A couple of the players scoffed at my words, and I didn’t blame them. This was a lot of fucking money, and I hated to waste it, especially knowing who this money was going to and what it was helping fund, but I had to remind myself of the bigger picture here.
“Yeah, alright, I’m fucking hungry, anyway.” We got up and cashed out, but before we left, we were each given a dark envelope with a gold seal on it. We thanked the cashier and headed out, eager to find my mate again and let her know we might have a whole night off.
When we arrived back to our suite, I was disappointed to see that Adrien and Evie weren’t back yet.
“I don’t know how he’s able to shop so fucking much,” Elias mumbled under his breath and removed his suit jacket. He sat on the couch and pouted, and I joined him on the loveseat a few minutes later, pulling out my phone and texting Evie to make sure she was okay.
Me: I miss my little Pokémon. Are you guys okay?
Evie: Goddess, save me, please. I’m hungry and grumpy, and Adrien is not done shopping yet. How many dresses in the same style but different colors do I need?
I laughed out loud and showed her text to Elias, who laughed and rolled his eyes.
“I have the same shirt in every color of the rainbow. Once that man finds something he likes on you, he will get one in every available color in case ‘the occasion calls for it.’ I still don’t know what occasion would call for me to wear a blue shirt instead of black, but I love that man, so I just let him do whatever he wants to my closet. I’ll bring them back. I know the only thing that he loves more than shopping. Leave it to me,” he grinned mischievously and pulled out his phone.
Me: Elias is on it, be ready to run.
I grabbed a couple of granola bars from the side and tossed one to Elias. About twenty minutes later, there was a knock on the door. I opened it to find my very disheveled mate with about four bags in her hands, with Adrien behind her with about five more. I took the bags from Evie as she passed by me quickly and collapsed on the couch.
“Oh, it wasn’t that bad, Evie. You know you liked it.” Evie gave a small smile and grunt of affirmation, but then groaned when Adrien continued, “We’ll have to take some time to really shop for you. I can’t believe you don’t have a lot of dresses. You have a killer figure, and I won’t allow you to hide it under those slacks and loose silk blouses anymore! And Cory, get that woman a decent credit card, will you? Hers got declined for possible ‘fraudulent’ charges, and we had to call to have it unblocked.” I snorted but made a mental note to call the bank when we got back.
“We’ve literally been mated for a week, Adrien. I’ll make sure she is properly prepared for the next time you decide to kidnap my mate.”
“Excellent. Now, we need to get ready for dinner, and so do you. Here. This one is for you,” he said, handing over one of the giant bags. Elias smirked, made his way to Adrien, whispered something in his ear, took the rest of the bags and walked away.
“But I have suits,” I protested.
“And now you have another one. Put it on tonight. Don’t argue with your elders. See you in an hour.” He rushed through his words, before he practically ran out using his vampire speed. I turned around and smirked at Evie.
“They are definitely going to fuck before dinner,” she giggled, then groaned and let herself fall back the length of the couch. “That was worse than shopping with Meli. At least we were shopping for her that time. I’ve never tried on so many clothes in my life!” she complained.
I walked over to the couch with a smile and picked up her feet. I removed her shoes and started massaging the soles of her feet. An involuntary smile made it to her face, forcing her eyes to close. I continued to massage her feet, doing my best to ignore the little moans that were making my dick pay attention.
“My poor little Pokémon. What have they done to you?” I teased, and she jutted out her lip like she was pouting, but I could still see her smile. “Was it terrible? Having someone dote on you all afternoon?” I continued, and she nodded her head, not opening her eyes. “Did he tease you by taking you out of the store only to pull you right back into another?” She nodded, jutting her bottom lip further out enticingly. “Did you buy any sexy lingerie?” I asked, making her snap open her eyes before her face turned into a big seductive smirk, and she nodded. I put her foot down, pushed the bags toward her, then grabbed the other foot. “Show me,” I ordered.
“Nuh-uh, nope.” She shook her head, blushing. I let out a displeased growl that had her eyes widening and the scent of her arousal surrounding me quickly, thanks in part to the way she was laying.
“Show me, mate,” I growled the order again.
“If we get done early, I might show you before we leave; otherwise, you will wait until we get home,” she said firmly, but I could see how her eyes darkened as she waited for my response. Bratty mate. She was trying to rile me up, but she didn’t know we were already a day ahead of schedule.
When I gave her a smug look, and she gulped, but I saw the way her eyes sparkled with mischief. I let go of her foot and crawled on top of her, rubbing the hard bulge in my pants against her core, smirking when I heard the moan she was trying so hard to keep to herself.
