Double Down (Take a Gamble)

by Stella Price

  “I dare say so, I do plan on paying for the date.” He winked and then called over the floor concierge, who made them a reservation for fifteen minutes later at Route, the hotel’s four star restaurant.

  They spent the time before talking and drinking, and then made their way to the intimate seating towards the back of the place, where they were all but alone. Caleb normally would order a bottle of wine, but Shade was not that kinda girl. They ordered more of the same of what they were drinking at the bar and Caleb ordered their appetizers so they would have a chance to look at the menu proper.

  "Well isn't this cozy?" she purred sinking back in her seat, kicking her shoes off. "I think sometimes it makes a difference having good company. Trying for decent conversation with Jace was like wrenching teeth. Humans are good for fucking but not known for their conversational prowess."

  “I think you may be right there. So what was up with that? You bargained him, he was your companion? I just stay away from most humans unless I’m planning on sex. They have their uses.”

  "I agree and that's exactly how it started. But honestly? He had passion, actual driven passion. Granted it was an addiction but he could make a table come alive. I'd never seen that before and you know how Immortals get with novelties."

  “Indeed. They are rare in this world. I’m sorry you lost him, if for nothing else then your own lost amusement.”

  She shrugged. "I'm not. Not really, I tired of him. That's why I left, nostalgia and circumstances made me go back. I loathe being told what I can and can't do, and being refused is even worse."

  “Well that solves that mystery. So what are you looking for now? Cuz I know it’s not a hot romp in a penthouse suite with a well hung Djinn…”

  "You have a very high opinion of yourself." she laughed. "And when you put it like that you make me sound more insane than normal. It's not that I wouldn't love a hot dirty hard romp. I specialize in those. I just don't want a target on my back for the next lot of immortal males who think I'm going to be an easy lay. I like to keep seduction firmly in my own books." she sighed. "I’m just looking for a good time away from demons and ley lines. Something fun, secluded and private."

  “So then lets up the ante.” he said, and took a sip of his drink. “I could give you all that you know, and be discreet. But we can talk about that after I win. I’m thinking if I win, I not only get to rock that stunning body, but I get to keep you cloistered on my Yacht for a week. What do you say?”

  "Sweetie you might as well make it two because you’re not going to win, but if you want to play it that way then when I win I want that fabulous yacht of yours."

  Caleb laughed. “Oh that would be interesting as I come with the yacht… but very well. I have no doubt I will win.”

  "You wanted to raise the stakes. And I'll only need it for a month or so. Shake on it?" she offered him her hand.

  Caleb took it. Either way she would end up on his boat, and he would be there… win win.

  "Excellent." finishing her drink. "You know I don't think I've ever sailed a boat before, does it come with a young naked boson? I'm going to enjoy my winning more than the prize pot."

  Caleb shook his head. “I’m sure something can be arranged.”

  Appetizers and then dinner set them at another hour in each other’s company. Normally Caleb would be trying to figure out ways to get the woman into bed, and barely listen to a word coming out of her mouth. This was not the case. He found himself actually enjoying the Demon before him. She was funny, coarse, brash and extremely intelligent. The only drawback was she refused to talk about her family or her life back in the Demon realm. He found himself curious, but she was staying quite tight lipped.

  When they were asked about desserts they both declined, citing the food being so rich. Knowing this was the end of their night, he didn’t relish leaving her to her lonely bed, or going to his.

  "So what's for you now?" she asked as they left the restaurant her arm hooked around his. "Back to your boat of willing babes? Hotel room for some zen masturbation? Strippers? Whores? How does a Djinn prepare for a morning tournament?"

  “Sleep.” He said and turned to her. “In my room, alone. After a very cold shower.” He grinned. “Must get my beauty sleep if I’m going to whip the knickers off you…” he laughed. “That’s a damn good idea, I think I’ll do that for real once I do.”

  "That’s certainly a new one. Of course I'll have to find a pair first. Pity though a cold shower is such a waste of this." she stepped against him brushing the back of her hand lightly against his shaft, trouble in her eyes. "You should find something to indulge in,

  I like that one over there." she pointed out a raven haired girl similar to her in look. "I could watch as you destroyed her for others... Ooh or I could have her."

  Caleb growled. My gods she was a treat wasn’t she. He had no idea she would be into the kinks he normally indulged in, not without a firm introduction from him. He looked over to her and then down at Shade’s hand.

  “Are you suggesting we have a little play date?”

  "Not us," she stroked him feather light with her knuckles. "But her, her we could have fun with. If your game of course. If not, I may just have her anyway. It's a narcissistic tendency, I can't help myself and I bet she'd taste so sweet."

  Caleb was not passing up a chance to see Shade in some sort of compromising position. “Oh I’m game, but it is going to be hard to keep my hands off your perfect ass.”

  "I'm sure you'll manage and if a hand or a tongue slips now and then." she shrugged. "Accidents happen in the heat of the moment."

  Yeah. She wanted it. She was just going to try to honor their arrangement. Try would be the operative word. He nodded. “Deal. You want to grab her, or should I?”

  "After you, I think I'm going to enjoy watching you work. I'll join you if you need the help though."

  Caleb poured three glasses of Champagne and brought them over to where Shade and their guest, a twenty four year old coed named Tasha sat on the couch, kissing. Getting the little chit to come with them was easy, he wasn’t one of the most notorious Djinn for nothing. He knew his father, Prince Elias, would have been proud at how quick he got the girl to agree to return back to his penthouse suite.

  "You know Tasha," Shade crooned her arm draped around the girl playing with the clasp to her top. "You have such beautiful soft milky skin."

  The girl blushed and giggled. “But my breasts aren’t as perfect as yours…”

  Caleb had to agree. He placed the glassed in front of them on the table and then sat back. “I think you are both lovely, but would look a lot better without all the clothing.” He took a sip of his drink and watched them both intently.

  "Agreed all around. Let's make this a real party." Shade kissed her shoulder unclasping the girls dress, trailing her hands down perfect skin as she pushed it down to pool at her hips. "Nothing wrong with yours darling, they're a perfect mouthful." She bent, sucking a nipple into her mouth, nipping ever so delicately on it.

  The girl gasped and then giggled. It was obvious she hadn’t ever taken her apparent interest in women past a little kissy face, but she was way in now and it seemed she was quite interested in Shade.

  Who wasn’t?

  She looked over at Caleb with shy eyes and then giggled again and started to slip Shade’s cowl neck down her shoulders. Caleb watched with rapt attention. The woman was exquisite. He watched as her entire torso was revealed to his eyes, her Shadow brand, proof that she was of the midnight courts, emblazoned on her side like a living tattoo.

  Shade gasped then kissed the girl straddling her, the red silk of her dress pooling around them both. The dress spilled low on Shade’s back, revealing the top round globes of her pert ass and another moving tattoo at the small of her back. As she went both their chests pressed tightly together.

  Sexy tramp stamp. Caleb’s erection protested being confined in his slacks; it very much wanted to be in on the action he was witnes
sing. The girl kissed Shade back, rubbed against her like a cat in heat. Caleb sat up and readjusted his imprisoned cock and started unbuttoning his shirt.

  Tasha moaned and rolled them to the side giggled. “You are so pretty Shade.”

  "So are you Tasha." she kissed over her chin down her neckline. "Umm so youthful and perfect."

  The girl kissed her again, her hands growing bolder as she slipped under the pooled material of her dress. They rolled and divested each other of their clothing and Caleb was quite happy to find out that neither of them were wearing under things. Less to take off.

  His eyes went back to the two Shadow Scars on Shade and growled. The one on the small of her back pulsed with energy, the one on her ribs shone with a light purple glow around it. He stood and went to them. His shirt unbuttoned and hanging open. He took another deep drink of his champagne and then touched their shoulders.

  Shade chuckled breaking away from the Tasha long enough to grab his glass and tip the bubbles over the other girls chest. "I'm thirsty." flicking her tongue out over her chest lapping at the bubbles pooling in her belly button.

  Caleb growled and grabbed another of the glasses and poured it over Shades shoulder and licked a bit off her and then bent and sucked some from Tasha’s breast.

  The difference in taste of the two was like night and day, literally.

  Tasha has the taste of warm days, of hope. Shade tasted like darkness, sin and evenings in the bayou. He liked them both, but Shade…

  She settled between Tasha's thighs lapping daintily at her like a cat with her favorite bowl of cream. "Mmmmm baby you should taste how good you are." she nuzzled at her. "Perfect with the bubbles. Caleb you have to try her after I’m finished."

  He grinned. “And what am I supposed to do till then?”

  "Oh you’re a big boy I'm sure you'll think of something." her hands on Tasha’s thighs pushed them further apart. "Might have to get those pants off first though."

  She didn’t have to tell him twice. He slipped outta his slacks and watched as Shade delved into the girl under her who was already moaning and panting. Apparently, Shade knew just what she was doing.

  Shade moaned, working her deeper, the Shadows darkening around her. Tasha never noticed when they spiraled down her legs, caressing both her and over Shade. She met his eye the pupils of hers totally expanding over the iris's..

  Caleb went to his knees and kissed Tasha, one hand tweaking her nipple. They kissed and then she moaned and Caleb went to Shade and began kissing a line down her shoulder.

  "Not the deal." she moaned running her hands up to Tasha's breasts kneading them forcefully.

  “Tongue and hands… things slip love,” he growled and ran his hands down her back. Her Shadow Scar wrapped itself around his fingers for a second and then he withdrew, and went to her ear as his hand slapped her rump.

  “I can’t wait to win tomorrow…”

  "You're not going to win darling," she purred lazily. "And I meant mine not yours."

  “Your Shadows are so fucking sexy.” He said and moved to the girl who was sobbing as she wrapped her legs around Shade.

  “Ummm now darling… how about we switch off…” he motioned to the human girl. “She needs a bit more than that mouth of yours can give her, so do you but I can wait.” He winked.

  "Be waiting a long time pretty boy." she winked at him moving off Tasha coming up to kiss her. "I'm going to rather enjoy my boat." she sipped the remaining glass whilst stroking the girl’s hair.

  Caleb laughed and then looked at Tasha. The girl reached for him, seemingly interested in the massive erection he had pointing at her. He sat back on the vacated spot Shade had been in and crooked his finger. The girl went to him crawling around Shade’s legs.

  He caught her around the waist and settled her on his lap, slipping into her heat easily. She gasped, half expecting what he did and then closed her eyes, enjoying the sensation.

  “Now Tasha. I think Shade there needs some attention, don’t you darling? Shade, love, lie back, Tasha is going to return the favor while I give her the fucking she has been wanting since the bar.”

  The girl giggled and leaned down. They repositioned so she was there kissing Shade, and then crawled down her body. Caleb might have been inside the human, and giving her one hell of a run for her time, what with all the moaning she was doing from between Shades thighs, but his attention was elsewhere.

  His eyes were on Shades the entire time, locked with hers. He could see the Shadows gathering around them, pulsing with desire to play as well. Gods, he couldn’t wait to get her on his boat.

  Shade fisted Tasha’s hair guiding her along, her dark eyes burning. "Far more amusing than a cold shower I'd wager."

  “Amusing yes, but about as satisfying…especially when you want something better.”

  "There’s always after the tourney." she cried out grinding onto Tasha’s face. "Ummm that's it darling, right there sweet."

  Caleb gave her a dark look over the rump of the girl. “Oh I plan on having exactly what I want the second I win that tourney.”

  She cried out a she came, her body a writhing quivering mass, the Shadows dancing over her. "You’re not beating me Caleb." she panted breathlessly. "I'm a far better player than you and I always win. Pity though, we'd be very good together."

  “We are going to be spectacular together…” he growled as the girl on his lap moaned as her orgasm hit. He grunted, and called on all his vast experience to hold out through the girl’s tight little sheath trying to milk him to release. “Make no mistake Shade, that tight little body is going to be mine, come hell or high water.”

  Tasha’s orgasm subsided and she panted, and nibbled on Shade, seemingly intent on bringing her once more. Caleb pulled out and slapped her on the ass. He took himself in hand and watched Shade with hooded eyes.

  Her breath caught, eyes dipping down to watch his glistening shaft. "Spectacular." Her moist pink tongue threaded out running across her parted lips. She swallowed hard. He could see she was dying for a taste as Tasha worked her magic on her clit. "We'll just have to see."

  “We will, believe me.” He worked his shaft slowly, a cruel smile on his face.

  She gasped, her eyes glued to him in total rapture. Shadows danced over her, playing a sensual tattoo around everywhere Tasha missed.

  He watched her, watched the Shadows caress her like he wanted to, and groaned. She was going to send him over the edge, and quickly.

  Her eyes still on his cock like it was the most mouth watering delight she’d ever seen she moaned, "Please, I could..." she squeezed her eyes shut shaking her head once again licking her lips. When they opened again her eyes held more control. "You better not point that thing at me."

  Caleb laughed and stood and walked to her, “Oh I think you have no say in that respect.”

  He hissed and then grunted as he came, splashing it on her perfect breasts. He panted, the orgasm stronger then he had ever had on his own. He looked down at Shade, who watched him intently and grinned. Yes, she was more than interested.

  “Tasha, baby clean Shade up, and don’t forget to share.”

  Tasha lifted her head and giggled and lapped up his offering, much like a cat with crème. She moved up Shade’s body and cleaned her up, the last swipe she shared with Shade in one hell of a deep kiss.

  He groaned and sat back on the couch, tucking himself away.

  Shade came, and she came hard, as the Shadows took over Tasha’s job as soon as she moved. She grabbed the girl rolling on top of her as they kissed sharing his taste.

  Caleb sighed and closed his eyes as he listened to them play. Shade was insatiable, and he was going to enjoy every minute of having her soon enough. The fact that she was even into this little seduction proved to him he had made the right choice in obsessions. Shade Loganazzi was one hell of a wild girl.

  Tasha moaned and then giggled and cuddled to Shade. “So much fun. Ummm…”

  "Mmmmm yes, such fun." Shade smiled conte
ntedly. "But now its late." she looked at a watch she didn’t have. "You should go now, we're done with you."

  The girl pouted and looked to Caleb who regarded her a second, and then closed his eyes and paid neither of them any attention. She shrugged and got up and shimmied into her dress.

  “I’ll be in town a couple more days. Call me if you wanna play again, Ok?”

  "Count on it." Shade smiled,though she had no intention of doing so. She rolled onto her feet taking her own dress and slipping it up over her breasts and walked to the bar pouring two scotch’s.

  "You know." she said to Caleb once the girl had left. "It's rude to leave me to take out the trash on my own. I hate being the bad guy."

  “You’re the one that picked her, and I had to get her here. It’s only fair you send her on her way.” He said then sighed. “You’re fucking perfect.”

  "And you're one amazingly fuckable male." She swirled their drinks, bringing them over to sit beside him. "Annoyingly so, another time another place and boy we could have some..." tucking her long legs under her she looked down at his glass then offered it to him. "To friendship."

  Caleb took the drink and clinked it with hers. “And long acquaintances.”

  "Among other things." she downed the glass in one smooth gulp then wiped her mouth settling against him. "This was fun."

  Caleb downed his own and then sighed. “Not a bad prelude. Your Shadow Scars…” he said as he blinked rapidly. “Why do you have two?”

  "My family brand is rather dull so I convinced my father to allow me a second. It wasn't hard. I have Shadows enough to compensate, and back then I could get him to do anything for me. You might not have noticed but I have a gift for manipulation. Why do you live on a boat? The real reason."

  Caleb yawned. Since when was he this tired after coming just once? “Truth? I don’t like being tied down. Living landlocked doesn’t appeal to me. On my boat, I can go anywhere, and I do.” He yawned again.

  “And your family brand, the one up your side, is rather sexy. I fought the urge to trace it with my tongue.”
