So, he does wear glasses! Blue light glasses.

When he began typing on his keyboard, the sound of it was so satisfying she wanted to run her fingertips across him—er, the keyboard.

“Mmhmm,” he mumbled, already drifting into a different world as he looked at the screens.

“Oh.” Biting her lip, Valerie suddenly stopped slumping and sat up in the computer chair straighter. She couldn’t believe he never struck her as a computer guy before, as he fit in so well behind it. At least she felt a little better now after getting her ass beat in Mario Kart. “I see. And what exactly is your job title?” Her voice had turned sweet as butter, but she was in for yet another surprise.

“Head of security.”

Feeling a bit warm inside, all she could manage to fluster out was, “T-That’s nice.” God, he was just so hot behind a computer screen.

“So …” She managed to pull herself together. “Is that for just the Casino Hotel or the family …?”

“It’s kind of a package deal,” he said, distracted by his work as he continued to type away. Only when she had become silent for too long, as it was unlike her, did he finally look at her to notice she was dying to ask him another question. “You need something?”

In that moment, Valerie knew exactly what she wanted. “Wanna fuck?”

SEVENTEEN

CODE PINK

The knock on the door had Valerie sitting up naked in bed. Oh, shit.

After the two had gone from fucking on the desk in his office to fucking on the bed in his penthouse, she had completely forgotten something.

This time, the words actually left her mouth. “Oh, shit!”

“Don’t worry about it. It’s fine. Whoever it is can come back late—”

“No!” she cried, jumping out of bed to put her clothes on. “I forgot I invited your sister over for a game night.”

Sal jumped out of bed within a second to start getting dressed himself. “Now, why the hell did you do that?”

“Because she has a PlayStation, duh!” She added the last flourishing word like it was obvious.

Sal rolled his eyes heavenward. “Of course.”

While running down the steps, she smoothed down her tousled hair before opening the door, hoping the sins she had just committed with her brother wouldn’t be obvious to Kat.

“Hey, Valerie …” Kat’s smile slightly fell upon taking in her appearance. “You still wanted to have a game night, right?”

“Oh yeah, of course. Why wouldn’t I?” Her cheeks went ablaze.

“Oh, good. I just wanted to be sure because you don’t have a phone, and I tried texting Sal to confirm, but I didn’t get a respons—”

“Hey, sis!” Sal came down with awkwardness, making it all the more obvious that they had just done it. “Come on in. Sorry I missed your texts.”

“It’s not a problem,” Kat said, coming inside, but as she passed, she whispered something for only Valerie’s ears to hear. “Your shirt is inside out.”

“Thanks,” she whispered back before desperately trying to laugh it off. “I’ll be right back.”

She stepped away for a moment to go in the downstairs bathroom to freshen herself up a bit in the mirror and turn her shirt right-side out, thinking at this point, Just how more embarrassing can my life get?

When she came out of the bathroom, however, to her surprise, Sal’s living room was filled with more girls.

Valerie waved at them a bit nervously, thinking how pretty they all were. She couldn’t help but wonder how many of them Sal had slept with. They all smiled warmly at her, and she instinctively knew not a one had, except for her.

“Everyone, this is Valerie,” Katarina began the introductions. “Valerie, this is Elle …”

A girl with strawberry-blonde hair waved.

“Lake.”

The tall model-like brunette waved next.

“Adalyn.”

A short and cute-as-a-button brunette girl waved after her name was announced.

“Gianna.”

An obvious Italian woman nodded. She appeared to be the least girly one out of the bunch.

“And Chloe.”

This one had given her a tender but somewhat shy smile. The black-haired, porcelain-skinned beauty took her breath away, along with the scars marking the left side of her face. There had been a couple characters in her video game she had kept changing the appearance of. One in particular gave her the most trouble, because she didn’t know what was missing from the female character’s look, so she had finally given up and settled on a look she wasn’t fond of before she’d sent her game off to Game Hookup. If it wasn’t for losing her job and needing to eat, she would have never sent it off before some of the characters’ looks were fully fleshed out. Now she knew, standing there, looking at the woman named Chloe, that her female character was missing badass scars.

“Hello, everyone.” Valerie smiled at them all, somehow feeling welcomed instantly.

Kat then explained the extra faces. “I thought game night would be more fun if I invited all the girls to join. I hope that’s okay?”
