All In

Gary offers me the deck and I cut it and push it back his way.

As the cards are dealt I don't even look at them. My entire focus was on Billy's face and body. None of us told ever him but he was a fucking lousy poker player. He had tells you could read from across a crowded room. We took it easy on him though, these nights were more about the company than the poker.

This time however I would use his lousy poker face to help me lose the biggest hand of my life.

The only concern was Gary, his presence might screw this up. But as I said before, fate was with me.

After the ante and a raise Gary was out. Perfect. My heart skips a beat as I see Billy's eyes light up from what was surely a solid hand. My hand wasn't bad but I made sure I torpedoed it. He trades in a couple of cards and so do I. I am happy to watch him take a deep breath and lean back confidently. Try as I might I just couldn't stop smiling.

He looks over at me. “Must be a hell of a hand.” He says, referencing my smile.

I look at my cards. A pair of nines. Judging by his expression and body language I was pretty damned sure he had better than that.

I lick my bottom lip and stare him down. “This is my last hand.” I tell him. Motioning to his cash, a fair bit more than what I had left in front of me, I say. “Gimme a chance at it. Go all in.”

He cocks his head with confusion. “The hell? You don't have enough...”

Taking my phone from my pocket I bring up the nude photo of Jane. I reach forward and place it on the table between us.

His eyes widen. “Holy shit! Is that Jane!?” He stares at it, taking in every inch of her naked body. “It is! Oh my god she's so fucking hot! Why the hell...?”

“You can get her, tonight, with a few conditions attached.” I lean back and cross my arms. “So... All in...boy?”

He looks up at me. “Boy? What the fuck? You're kidding me right now. This is a joke.”

“No joke.”

“She wouldn't let me!” He protests.

I laugh confidently. “Gary...why don't you show him.”

Gary nods quickly. Pulling out his phone he calls up the exact same photo and shows it to Billy. He titters and says. “I've had her.”

“Gary!? You did!?” Billy looks back to me stunned as he realized I was serious. “Ho-ly shit!”

“Like I said though, a few conditions. Secrecy being one of them. You in boy?”

There is a tense silence for about ten seconds before he yelps. “Fuck yeah!” He pushes his pile forward.

“Well then, let's see it.” I motion to his hand. “Let's see what you got?” I was pretty sure I'd be seeing what he had in more ways than one tonight.

He slaps the cards down. A three of a kind, queens. “Three ladies.” He says, then waits excitedly.

I fake disappointment and grumble as I throw my cards in face down. “Shit!”

Another moment of silence. “Whooeee!” Billy finally hoots triumphantly. “No fuckin way! No fuckin way!” He points across at me. “No backing out now John! I won fair and square.”

I nod. “I know, I know. You win. Now keep it down, huh? Secret, remember?”

He nods, the kid practically vibrated with anticipation. “Yeah, yeah. You said tonight, right? Tonight!?”

I nod again. “Yep. And like I said, this was my last hand.” I push away from the table. “I'm heading home. You can come with me now or if you want to stick around and...”

“I'll come now!” He interjects. He looks back and forth between me and Gary. “This is fuckin for real? This isn't a prank or something?”

I stand up and collect my cash and my phone. Walking toward the stairs I say. “You'll just have to come to my place to find out.”

With that I leave the basement. I shout a goodbye to Dennis then hurry along to my car. As I leave the house I can hear Billy scrambling behind me to leave himself. I walk swiftly to my car and pull away. I drive as fast as I reasonably could to get home, it still felt like an eternity. My heart was in my throat and my cock hard as steel.

I pull up to my house to see the lights on. Jane stood at the front window in her pink silk robe. As I walk in long hurried steps across my lawn she grins ear to ear and waves at me. I wave back then give her the thumbs up to let her know everything was going to plan.
