The next player after her called. The dealer laid down the final card, the river. It was an ace of diamonds. Adrea could have said she had two pair but that was not all she had. With the ace of hearts in her pocket and the three heart cards on the board, she had four of a kind. A hand much better than a full house. Surely there was no way Bones had a better hand than her… With her ace of hearts, there was no way he had a bigger four of a kind than her. The possible straight on the table was the lowest possible and even if it was stronger, it would not beat her.

She moved our previous cards out of the way and dealt another two cards apiece. This time, my hidden card was a king of spades and the showing card was an ace. I carefully schooled my face. "I stand." "Do you?" Juliet lifted her card to take a look. "Okay. So do I." She revealed hers-an eight of diamonds and a ten of clubs. "Eighteen." "Great." I turned over my cards. "But not as great as Blackjack."

He unlaced his heavy combat boots and kicked them aside, sitting back down in his socks and t-shirt. He looked smaller now. Less like a king and more like a thug. I was winning. I could feel the adrenaline singing in my veins, replacing the fear. I was actually going to do this. Then, the third card slid across the wood. Brick didn't even look at me. He slammed his card down. Ace of Diamonds. The highest card in the deck. The air left my lungs. There was no beating an Ace unless I drew the Ace of Spades, and the odds were astronomical.

It was a four of hearts. Colt raised another cigarette. Not wanting to be out done, I mated him. Alec nodded and flipped another one. I got another nine. Colt put another one in and I added two instead of one. “Lady raised you, do you match or fold?” Alec said in his dealer voice. Colt studied me before adding another one. Alec flipped the last card over and it was a ten. Colt put two more cigarettes in and I matched him. “Alright, flip them over.” Alec said.

I threw the question back to him. "You will find out soon." Ever so unpredictable. I was scared, nothing could shake me. My cards were perfect. I already had the game in the bag from the moment I saw those queens. Ivan was watching my every mood, he was trying to read me from the slightest give out, curious what I’d do. I placed my bracelet into the pot and nodded once. “Let’s see it then,” he said. "Of course, it was a fun game," I replied before laying down my hand to reveal my perfect cards. A full house containing 3 queens and two aces. Karis gasped genuinely impressed.

Hadrian placed the three aces on the table and announced, "Three aces." Raeleigh looked at Santiago. Santiago glanced at the cards in Raeleigh's hand. There were still many cards in Raeleigh's hand, and three kings had just appeared. He shook his head, passing his turn. Raeleigh fell silent. "Place your cards." Santiago stared at his cards, and didn't bother to look at Raeleigh while he spoke. He had four two's in his hands! Raeleigh pondered for a moment and counted the cards in her hands. Then, she placed all her cards down.

“Stick the kettle on then Chelsea because I really want to know what the fuck you are playing at?” “Biscuit?” I pushed the plate of cracked cookies over the table towards him. It was a lame thing to do but the longer I could postpone this conversation the better. I needed to think of a plausible excuse as to why Wicked had just been seen leaving my house. And so far I was coming up blank. “Sit your ass down, Chelsea.” Young Blood had flung his legs out just like Wicked had done. They were, all the same, the men of the Black Aces. They all thought they could boss me around.

Sage stated. “Five dollar ins,” Aaden stated. Everyone playing put their cash in the middle, and Sage began to deal. Jarren was sitting on my right, and Mason was on my left. I picked up my cards and looked at them. I had two Aces. This game was starting out pretty well. The bid went around, and it was my turn. “I see your ten bucks, and I raised you ten,” I said, throwing twenty bucks into the middle. Jarren smirked at me.

"Linux just played a pair of Kings. commander passed, and I played a pair of Aces. Now, the ball is passed to Linux, who passed his turn. Then, I played a full house and a flush.
