“How about we make a deal,” I suggested. My mind was working overtime to figure out a way to get out of all this. But the only deal I could think about was the one I’d just made with Angel and Diablo. And if I didn’t find a way to escape from Cole…Oh God.
“I’m listening.”
I was about to offer him a blowjob, but then I remember that you always wanted to start negotiations with a lowball offer. “If you let me go, I’ll consider forgiving you for tricking me into being the princess.”
“Hmm…if I recall correctly, I saved you from having to room with all those sloppy girls.”
I glared at him. “I trusted you, Cole. And you tricked me into gambling my body. For the second time!” And now Angel and Diablo got me to gamble my body away for a third time! What the hell was wrong with me?! I was pretty sure I had a gambling addiction. Did I need to go to my doctor for that.Good God, no.I could never see Dr. Lyons again. I was doctorless now. And I was going to die of a gambling addiction.
“I thought you were excited for the spit roast?” he asked, trying to distract me with food.
“Of course I’m excited for the spit roast. What girl wouldn’t be? But I didn’t need to be the princess in order to stuff my face full of delicious meat.”
Cole blinked a few times and stared at me like I’d said something weird.
“Don’t look so surprised. All the other girls in the society might be able to survive on lettuce and raw carrots, but not me.”
“Fair enough,” replied Cole.
“So do you accept my offer?”
Cole laughed. “What was it exactly?”
“You let me go, and I forgive you for being a jerk.”
“Let me think about it… NO. I can’t just let you go. My team has worked hard for this victory. And more importantly, I want that date with you.”
Oh right, our other bet.“Fine. If you let me go, I’ll still go on a date with you.”
“And you’ll also release me from my debt of nudity?”
Damn it!I had really been looking forward to being able to force him to get naked at the most embarrassing time. But I had no choice but to agree to his terms. I was at his mercy. “Yup. It’ll be as if you won the bet.”
“Tempting offer,” said Cole. “But I still can’t accept.”
“What?! Why not?”
“Because…” He looked me up and down. “All I have to do is carry you a few miles to the feast grounds, and then you’ll finally be mine. And thanks to our bet, I’ll even get to take you out to dinner afterwards.”
“Well aren’t you the perfect gentleman.”
“Only when I want to be.” Cole’s eyes bore into mine. His meaning was perfectly clear. What he was going to do to me was most ungentlemanly.
I shifted to try to cover myself, but it was impossible in this ridiculous dress. I’d dreamt of what it would have been like if I’d lost to Cole in poker. It was part nightmare, part fantasy. And now it was going to be my reality.
“Youreallywant to bang me in front of the whole camp?” I asked.
His Adam’s apple rose and fell. “There’s nothing I want more.”
“Why can’t you just take me intimately in the woods?”
“That doesn’t sound nearly as fun.”
Damn it!I pushed my breasts together and conjured the sauciest of winks. “Then how about you tear this dress of off me and raw dog me against a tree?”Oh my God, what did I just say?!The words felt so dirty coming out of my mouth.
“As much as I would love to do that, it just wouldn’t be fair to make my teammates miss out on the spit roast. Speaking of which…” Cole put his fingers into his mouth and whistled. Three blue scouts popped out from behind the trees.
“What do those losers have to do with the spit roast?” I asked. “If they’re not bringing me delicious meat, then I’m not interested.”
