It was downto the two of us. Starla took over dealing once Jenny followed Trey down the hall. The sounds of Jenny’s screams reached the common room, amping up the sexual tension that was already filling the space.
I could smell Raven’s arousal. I knew she wanted me. But I needed her to make the first move. There was no way I would be able to stop if we started so I had to make sure she wanted it as much as I wanted her.
She was my mate, I was certain of it so it was a matter of time until we made it official. I would feel my cock inside her. I would mark her as mine. And with every second that passed, I could feel us inching closer to that moment.
Starla turned the cards, and I maintained my stoic expression. I wasn’t going to win this hand.
Drawing a few more cards would only delay the inevitable. Besides, maybe removing some of my clothing would help speed this process up. I wanted Raven. I needed her.
“Strip,” she said.
“You sure you’re ready for that?” I asked.
“I think I can handle it,” she said.
I shrugged. “You asked for it.” Slowly, I pulled my shirt over my head. I knew I looked good naked.
Tossing the shirt to the side, I watched Raven’s face. She was terrible at hiding her emotions, which is why it was surprising she was doing so well at this game. She had zero poker face.
I smirked as she involuntarily licked her lower lip, her eyes traveling down my chest to my abs. Probably lower. “You like what you see?”
Her green eyes shot back up to mine. “I see another cocky asshole who spends more time in the gym than he does with a book.”
“Ouch, burn.” I laughed. “Are you calling me dumb?”
Her cheeks flushed. It was adorable.
“Just deal, okay. Unless you fold?” she asked.
“Never,” I said.
Starla silently dealt the cards. I turned mine over and couldn’t help but smile. No poker face this time. When you hold two aces, you’re in good shape.
Starla turned over the cards on the table. Another ace.
I grinned. “Ready to take off that shirt?”
“Not so fast,” she said.
But I could see it on her face.
A minute later, Raven scowled at me as she pulled her shirt over her head. Her perky tits were sitting in a lacy black bra on full display for me. My cock hardened at the sight. Her body was even more beautiful than I’d imagined. And trust me, I’d imagined it a lot over the last few weeks.
“What no comment?” She said.
“Stunned silence from the alpha?” Starla said. “That’s a mighty powerful rack you’ve got there. We’re going to have to keep that in mind for when we want him to shut the fuck up.”
I glared at Starla. “Deal.”
She laughed as she dealt the next hand. This time, my shoes came off. Then, my socks.
Finally, I won a hand. Raven took off her shoes.
Then I won again. Raven’s socks came off. All that was left was her pants to see what she was wearing over that pussy I’d fantasied about.
