Isabella grinned at him, “Unless you want this modern woman to throw you over her shoulder and carry you out, I suggest we do just that.”

He laughed again, a rich sound of approval, and the urge to kiss him right there, to feel that resonance against her own mouth, was almost more than she could bear. Soon, Isabella, she promised herself. She forced her legs to move, and together, they turned away from the bar, heading out and into the dark promise of the night.

    Isabella sat on her bed, her door closed, the blinds drawn and the lights off. She plucked a multigrain cracker from its sleeve and nibbled on a corner, trying to keep her stomach from revolting. She hadn’t had a hangover this bad in her life, and not only was she hungover, but her drunken exploits had affected her sober life. She’d done quite a few questionable things under the influence, but when she’d awakened that morning, Lex's arms wrapped around her and a weird, wire made ring on her finger, she’d panicked, slipped out of bed and, as quietly as she could, gathered her things and bolted.She had somehow lost a night, and most of Sunday, with him. Her head throbbed just thinking about it. It was a wild, incredible night. If only she could remember all of it. She remembered meeting him and going to The Zenith with him, but it seemed like the more alcohol she'd consumed, the more the rest of the memories got hazy. She'd remember all of it soon enough, she was sure of that. Just as

    Shit. Shit. Shit. The words had been echoing through Alexander's brain for the past few minutes, ever since he’d woken to find Isabella gone. The second he'd opened his eyes, he regretted it. The sun coming in through the open blinds was far too bright, and the room sat tilted on an axis. He pushed himself to a sitting position and tried to fight off the nausea caused by moving, while he attempted to make sense of what the hell had happened the previous night.Piece by piece, through the fog of his hangover, it came back to him. The reception. Meeting her, drinking at the bar, making out in the car, sex, going to the casino, more drinks, gambling, dancing, more champagne. More Isabella. More drinking. Getting married.“Fuck.”It all came back to him. Somewhere between the dancing, and all the fun and drinking, they’d decided it would be a really crazy idea to go to the twenty-four-hour wedding chapel to be married by that man in a polyester, sequined or was it rhinestone-studded suit

    "Izzy," he said, dropping to one knee with the grace of a man who had definitely had several drinks. He held up the wire ring. "Will you take this slightly sharp, definitely non-karat gold wire and be my wife?"Isabella was laughing so hard she had to wipe a stray tear from her cheek. "I do! Oh my god, that's so silly." She said as she held out her hand, and he slid the wire ring onto her finger. It was too big and the wire poked her skin, but in the light it sparkled and she was way too buzzed to care."Repeat after me," the officiant sighed, probably having seen this three times already that night.They stumbled through the vows, interrupting each other with jokes and muffled giggles. When the officiant told Alexander he could kiss the bride, he didn't just kiss her—he picked her up and spun her around, her laughter echoing off the satin walls."Congratulations," the officiant said, handing them a piece of paper with a gold-embossed seal that was still wet from the printer. "You’re

    She arched her back, her chest heaving against his, the shirt falling off one shoulder to expose the raw, reddened skin where his stubble had burned her. He didn't hold back. The make-out session was feral—a desperate collision of teeth and tongues and grasping hands. The scent of spilled martini and expensive perfume filled the small space. Every time the bass from the club thudded through the wall, it felt like a jolt of electricity passing between them.Alexander lifted his head and pulled back just an inch. His eyes, usually sharp and calculating, were clouded with a soft, hazy vulnerability. He looked at her as if he were trying to memorize her soul through a fog."You’re… you’re actually special, you know that?" he murmured, his voice dropping into a rough, low register that sent a shiver straight through her. "I’ve never met anyone like you. I feel like I’m dreaming. Like if I blink too hard, I’ll wake up to my usual boring life."Isabella let out a light, bubbly laugh, the sou

    They played some more, and wanting something more intimate, he transitioned her to the Baccarat alcove. It was the game of James Bond—quiet, intense, and draped in ritual.“You’re betting on the Banker or the Player,” Alexander explained as the dealer in white silk gloves dealt the cards. “It’s pure chance, draped in elegance.”Isabella played with a focused intensity that fascinated him. She sat on the edge of her high-backed chair, the oversized sleeves of his shirt pushed up to her elbows. He played with her, and they won three hands in a row, the pile of gold chips growing until it was a small glittering mountain.“I think the Zenith is scared of you,” Alexander joked, leaning down to kiss the curve of her shoulder.“I think I’m just enjoying the experience,” she replied, turning in her seat to face him. The bright, artificial lights of the casino reflected in her dark eyes. “I’ve never had a night like this, Lex. Not ever.”Alexander’s heart did a strange, uncomfortable somersaul

    She nodded slowly, and Alexander watched her closely, knowing she suspected nothing, and was once again reminded of the drama he was getting himself into. He almost wished he'd told her the truth immediately he found out who she was, but he doubted their evening together would have progressed this far if he had. “Well, Lex, now that that's out of the way," she continued, “While you were in the shower, I was thinking, and like I said, I had an epiphany. I remembered that we're at The Zenith, and The Zenith doesn’t sleep. So I was thinking, why should we? I want to go down there. To the casino. I want to go to the high-limit tables, hear the slots, and probably have a few more drinks.” She paused when she saw the way she was looking at her and smiled, “Look, I know that I'm being a little crazy, but believe it or not, I don't often make decisions like the ones I've made since I met you, and it's not everyday you find yourself at the Zenith. I just want to make the most of it,” “The ca
