Blackjack Again

"Same game, same stakes," Lois said. "I win, I get one of their souls back. You win, you get to fuck me...again."

Blaze shuffled. She met Lois Lane's gaze, both of their faces carefully neutral.

"You know, we could make this more interesting," the demon said.

"How's that?" Lois said.

"You currently owe me one fuck. How about if you win, you get the soul—and that debt is erased."

Lois let herself raise an eyebrow. "And if you win?"

"I get to fuck you...and you ovulate."

The reporter stiffened.

"I thought I was already..."

"Maybe I like to double the odds."

Lois set her mouth in a line. It made sense.

"If we tie again—"

"Split pot," the demon said. "You get a soul, and you ovulate."

"Fine. It's a bet."

Blaze dealt. Lois took a gander at her cards.

Lois: J♠ (6♥)

Blaze: 7♥ (?)

Soft sixteen. Lois thought. Common logic would have it to always hit...
