CHLOE'S POV
"What game?" I repeated.
"Our game," he simply replied as he pulled out a deck of cards inside his pocket. "Do you believe in Fortuna, Chloe?"
"I believe she holds some kind of bitterness against me right now if l'm still standing here." I rolled my eyes as I leaned against the wall watching him shuffle the cards.
Rapheal laughed again, shaking his head
as he gave me a keen look as if we've known each other for a very long time.
"Chloe...you are so clever:" the way he pronounced my name exhilarated me. "You're being funny now, my Chloe."
"l am not yours!"
"Oh, really?" he smirked. "But the way you have surrendered your body to me
twice...."
"Shut up!" l cut him off. "l think this conversation is over:" I stood straight to walk out but he walked past me and stood in my way, blocking my exit.
"Don't, little kitten. The game is just beginning."
"What game are you talking about?"I frowned, taking a step back when his intoxicating scent hit me. "What do you want from me?"
"Chloe, you and I both know that we want to fuck each other's brain out because my best friend couldn't give what you want and what you love," he declared shamelessly. "And we both know that if I touch you now, you're not
going to be able to resist me. But that would bore me eventually."
He showed that signature smirk again before he continued.
"I'm not a man that likes predictability. I like a little bit of thrill, baby.." he then whispered into my ear. "Let's spice things up and let Fortuna decide our fate tonight."
"No," I disagreed. "l want to leave now because my boyfriend is waiting for me."
I tried to push him aside but he didn't budge.
"Move," I ordered.
"Don't pretend that you're not excited about this game, Chloe." He declared. "But don't think too much because we're not going to use any sexual way here.."
He walked past me and took a seat on the edge of the bed as if he was confident that I wasn't leaving anymore.
"We're gonna use these cards to decide
our fate. Are you in?"
I crossed my arms in front of my chest, tilting my chin upwards defiantly.
"Tell me..."
"So, l'm offering you a deal. If you pulled out the highest card, you will stay. If you don't, you're free to go."
My eyes squinted, zeroing on his arrogant smirk.
"What is the highest card?" I asked, not having any idea at all. I only knew them but the l don't know about ranks.
"Ace of spades.." he answered patiently.
"So, where's the catch?"
"Okay, I will explain it clearer:" He cleared his throat. "If I pulled out the ace of spades, you'll not only stay but also fulfill my every request."
I kept on eyeing him suspiciously.
"What kind of request?"
"Oh, Chloe.." Raphael smiled brightly, his smile so compassionate it was almost divine.
"I won't tell you of course, where's the fun if you'll first know it? Rest assured, it's nothing
horrifying. No funny business, I promise you" he reassured me truthfully.
I stared back at him with a serious expression on my face, my mind dwelling on his proposition.
Raphael Moore was a smug, arrogant
narcissist. He was so overconfident, lofty, so full of himself, and the fact that he had it all. His ego could barely fit in the room, while I was aroused by all that confidence, I was also subtly annoyed by it.
I took a breath in, finally settling on a decision. Now, I wasn't a magician, but after all, the chance of him pulling the ace of spades out of fifty-two cards was a lot slimmer than getting any other card.
Am I right?
I have to do it immediately so that I can get out of his room because Max is waiting for me.
"Deal" I declared finally, causing him to
raise his brows. He was pleasantly surprised.
"Be my guest, he gave an over-exaggerated bow, gesturing me to sit on the table next to us. He settled himself on the chair across from me,his cocky smirk never fading.
What an asshole!
"You only have one try" I grumbled, staring at him intently, making sure he didn't have any tricks up his sleeve.
"Fine" he raised his hands next to his face. "You're so sexy when you're bossy, baby. I'm going to enjoy this so much afterward."
My heart thumped eccentrically in my chest. What exactly did he have in mind?
"Okay, let's start." Raphael readied himself, breathing deeply as if he were about to deliver the toughest performance of his entire career.
He puffed his cheeks, brushed his fingers on his hair, taking the cards on the table, shuffling them multiple times.
Then he brought them up to his full lips and gave the top of the card a small peck.
He placed them back down on the table and in one swift motion, he pulled out a card in the middle and slammed it down in a loud thud.
Both of us almost knocked our chairs down as we shot forward to see the card.
Ace of spades!.
"What the fuck?" l almost screeched, glaring at the card as if it was my mortal enemy.
