“Beats me.”He takes my empty glass away.
I turn back around.
And sit.
For a half hour, I sit there, checking the time every five minutes on my phone.
In this time, the crowd hardly dissipates.
“Enough of this,” I say under my breath.
Even my intuition makes mistakes sometimes.
I stand and push my way through the crowds back through the lobby and to the elevators.The good thing about the crowds in the casino is no one is waiting for the elevator.I press the up button and wait.
When the bell dings, I head to the elevator in question.
The doors part, and—
My heart nearly stops in my chest.
Dark hair piled in a manbun.Searing emerald eyes.Tan skin and full lips.
Victor Rogan.
Never doubt your intuition again, Hannah. Never.

His gaze sears into mine.Should I say something?
Since when amIat a loss for words?
Since the most handsome man in the free world— a man I came here to seduce—is staring at me.No hardship there.
Of course, to seduce him, I’m going to have to actually speak to him.
My whole body is on alert—lusty alert.My nipples harden and become visible protrusions behind the soft fabric of my T-shirt.
He lowers his eyelids, parts his lips—
“Vic, there you are!”A burly man dressed in black cuts in front of me and grabs Victor.“We’ve been waiting for you.”
He rips his gaze away from me.“I got here as quickly as I could.”
“Yeah, yeah, whatever.You need to congratulate the winner.”
He wrinkles his forehead.“I need to congratulate someone when I just lost four mil?”
“You net more than that in a week.Who the fuck cares?”
Victor walks away with the burly guy, not giving me a second look.
So much for him jumping through any hoops.
This is going to take more work than my father anticipated.The vampire king may be a master of seduction, but I’m not.I’ve had my share of men, but usually they pursue me.I don’t know the first thing about luring a man into my bed.
I sigh.Guess I better brush up on the art of seduction.I step into the elevator and head back to my suite.
