POV: Brigail

"Brigail! Brigail! It's Uncle Mac! Sweetheart, you know me. You know I can't hurt your dad! Believe me, I didn't know what happened to him!" he pleaded.

Brigail took one more step closer to him so he could have a good look at her. His acrid smell was almost overwhelming. But Brigail didn't mind. Her rage was stronger than her repulsion.

"I believe you," she said with a cold hard stare. "I believe that you left him when he didn't turn out to be the winner you were hoping for. What w

    POV: EliEli didn't know how he got back to the Obsidian Ace after he left her place, fuming like a ball of fire. He went straight to the bar at the casino area and asked for an ice pack to put on his sore knuckles.The barmaid rushed to his side with a blue ice gel pack, along with his usual drink.Fuck this! Fuck her!The floor manager saw Eli walk in and alerted Pam, who was busy checking the turnout for the night.Pam wasn't expecting Eli to make an appearance at the casino. When he called her up after the pyro show at Fiordillatte to stall the staff, she knew she wouldn't see him for the rest of the night.She'd already come up with a bunch of materials to tease him with, but judging by the look on his face, she knew it would not bode well for her to pester The Ghost.Eli stayed at his private lounge and Pam immediately figured out what he was trying to do. The only reason Eli would get his drink from the bar was to pick up his fuck for the night.From her calculations, it had be

    POV: BrigailEli wasn't expecting her reaction. He touched the place where her palm landed and felt the skin tingle and throb under his hand.He didn't mean it that way. He'd never regarded her so low, no matter how badly she'd treated him. But somehow that was how his words sounded to her."I'm not one of your conquests. Some slut you can just jot down in your little black book," she said, her voice trembled with so much animosity."I never said you were," he muttered under his breath. "But if that's what you think I meant, then maybe there's some truth to it."Way to make it worse, asshole! Eli thought grimly. But he wasn't about to take his words back. Mea culpa was a rare thing for The Ghost and he wasn't about to spring one now.Brigail shook her head in derision. "So this is how you lure your women? By calling them sluts? It's no wonder they never stayed with you for a long time."She was not kidding when she told him that she'd read about him in national magazines. From the bor

  • Deuces Wild: The Billionaire's Dangerous Obsession   Second Kiss

    POV: BrigailBrigail fumbled for the keys inside her gym bag. It would have been easier if her heart would just calm down a bit.What the hell just happened? Did I just make out with Eli Michealson?Finally she got her keys out and managed to unlock her door. She heaved a sigh of relief when she discovered Jerry was not yet home. She was sure she looked like a mess and she didn't want to have to explain to her brother why.She slammed the door shut behind her. She took a few deep calming breaths. They didn't work. She went to the fridge and poured herself a cold glass of water and downed it in one gulp.It wasn't like she hadn't been kissed before. She'd had her first kiss when she was eighteen during Arlene's wedding. Arlene was one of her fellow barmaids at Latoya's.At the reception, Breandan, the best man, grabbed Brigail from behind and pressed his mouth that reeked of cheap rum. However, Breandan clearly underestimated the wrath of a virgin. Before he could stick his tongue down

  • Deuces Wild: The Billionaire's Dangerous Obsession   The Kiss

    POV: BrigailThey rode in silence as she stared out the window. Eli would glance at her every few seconds, weighing her mood.He wasn't sure what she really thought of his peace offering. And aside from their brief moment of unreserved affability, she'd retreated back to her shell.He swore under his breath as they drew near her street. The car slowed to a stop at the curb in front of her building.She unbuckled her seatbelt and Eli mimicked her movement. But as he was unlatching his belt, she put her rough, shaky hand over his."Thank you. That was the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me," she murmured. Her voice was hoarse and trembling, as though she was trying to keep it steady.Eli locked his gaze with hers. "Stay."She drew her eyebrows together quizzically."Stay at the restaurant. Stay in Vegas. Stay here."Brigail bit her lip, unsure what to say. She was terribly conflicted. All arrows were pointing at her to stay. She'd finally caught a break with her father's case. She

"I believe that you left him when he didn't turn out to be the winner you were hoping for. What was that term you used? Ah, yes! Money pit! Did he ask you for the fare back to Louisiana? Did he ask you to help him come home?"A vein in her forehead throbbed as she tried to keep her voice low and venomous.Mac Rattray had the decency to drop his gaze to the floor. She was spot on with her assumptions.When Bert got kicked out of the second tournament they joined, he asked Mac for his share of the winnings so he could come home. But Mac got greedy. So he prodded Bert to give it another go in

  • Deuces Wild: The Billionaire's Dangerous Obsession   Face to Face

    POV: BrigailMac Rattray's head drooped as he sat motionless in a stainless steel chair. He was strapped to his seat with his hands and feet bound with thick rope.When the door burst open, Mac Rattray lifted his head up to see who his new tormentors would be. He'd hardly slept a wink since he was brought to Big Tony.Anthony Murello's men were all eager to welcome Mac Rattray as they took turns beating him up. Jake Purifoy, Big Tony's right-hand man, called dibs on the Rat's manhood. But Big Tony was under strict orders from The Ghost that the Rat would not be castrated until he met Eli's associate.Eli didn't take his eyes off her as she stared at the Rat with a blank expression. He stole a glance at Mac Rattray, whose eyes were so swollen that he needed to shift his head forward to recognize his visitors.Mac jerked back in his chair, his frail body shrinking as he tried to hunch his back to evade The Ghost's glare.Eli's nose wrinkled in disgust before he returned his gaze to her.
