“Welcome to the bachelor pad. Make yourself at home. Help yourself to anything you want from the fridge, but don’t lick my cheese. Jack. P.S. Always wear slippers.”

“I don’t want to play anymore either.” His voice is strangely soothing, and my breathing settles into a more regular rhythm. “Because I like you. I like you a lot. Way more than the game. Way more than wanting to win. I can’t stop thinking about you, and I don’t want to find sex elsewhere. I only want you. So let’s start over. Have dinner with me. Now. Tonight.”

“You and Lansen, eh?” He chuckles. “Thought so.” My chest tightens. Jack and I barely spoke to one another all night. How did Seb know? “There’s nothing going on.” The smile that curls his lips is all scepticism. “Not yet, maybe. But Jack never loses at poker.” He leans in to kiss my cheek. “Thanks for helping me distract him. Don’t stay up too late.”

“Don’t worry. Everyone was well compensated for their tickets. And Andrei is fine; he’s giving Kate and Nico a private performance instead, and I’d far rather watch you than a classical pianist. So, tonight, the stage is yours.”

“To be honest, if it kills you, then I’m dying too. I feel like I can’t fucking breathe without you, and I’ve loathed every second of being separated from you. It’s been agony. Not a day has gone by when I haven’t thought of you. Wondering what you’re doing, what you’re wearing. If your feet are bare, or you’re wearing those stupid pink slippers. I have ached with missing you. I don’t want any more of those seemingly insignificant moments of your life to pass without me being there by your side, because, to me, nothing is insignificant. It’s all precious. I want to be there when you wake up, and when you fall asleep, and every fucking second in between. So, yes. Please stay. I’m asking you… begging you, not to leave.”

“How much did you lose?” I ask in a hushed voice. “Enough.” He stands and starts putting all the chips away. Shuffling the cards, he spares me a glance. “You’re a fucking nightmare, you know that?”

“Good. Because I’m not done. If I’m exclusive, you’re exclusive. If you so much as look at another guy, I’ll kill him.”

“Nico probably has a hitman he can call.” Nico straightens, shooting an alarmed look at us. “I’m not knocking off my best friend because he sent flowers.” Kate laughs. “I meant for User5498.”

“She didn’t steal me. You never had me. We were never even together. You’re deluded. I love Elly. I’m in love with her. There’s no one else in the world I want to be with. Especially not you. I feel nothing for you. Worse than nothing. I will never forgive you for what you’ve done. Never.”

“I’d still like to take her out.” I respond without thinking. “Don’t fucking touch her. Don’t even try, and if you do, I’ll—”

“I, Jack Lansen, do solemnly swear to pay Elly Carter One Hundred Thousand Pounds if she can get me to beg for sex.”
