The houseboat rocked gently on the lazy current of the river, its wooden deck creaking under the weight of three overconfident poker players and enough cheap beer to float a smaller vessel. Mia leaned back in her chair, her sassy brunette waves tumbling over one shoulder as she shuffled the cards with the practiced flair of a woman who’d once lost her rent money on a single bad beat and somehow called it character-building. At twenty-two, she wore her gambling addiction like a favorite leather jacket—scuffed, unapologetic, and damn near irresistible. Jake, her boyfriend of two years, sat across from her in board shorts and a half-unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt, his easy grin flashing every time she raised. Beside him lounged Tyler, Jake’s best friend since college, all charm and broad shoulders, the kind of guy who could talk a nun into a strip poker game and make her thank him for it. The sunset painted everything gold, the air thick with the scent of sunscreen, spilled IPA, and the faint diesel hum of the boat’s engine idling at anchor.
“All right, high rollers,” Mia drawled, dealing the next hand with a flourish that sent a card skittering toward Tyler’s beer. “Five-card stud, nothing wild except my mouth. Ante up or admit you’re scared of a girl who once bluffed her way out of a speeding ticket with a smile and a promise she never kept.”
Jake chuckled, tossing chips into the pot. “Babe, last time you promised anything involving that mouth, I ended up with rug burn and a hickey shaped like Texas.”
Tyler laughed, deep and warm, sliding his own chips forward. His eyes lingered on Mia just a beat too long, the way they always did when the booze loosened everyone’s filters. “I’ve heard the stories. All talk, right? Jake swears you’re a demon at the table, but I bet you fold the second the stakes get interesting.”
Mia’s pulse kicked up, a familiar thrill coiling low in her belly. She’d been nursing this fantasy for months—ever since Jake drunkenly confessed that Tyler’s cock was the stuff of locker-room legend, thick and long enough to make a girl walk funny for days. The two men had always been close, sharing everything from apartments to bad decisions, and Mia had imagined herself right in the middle more times than she’d ever admit out loud. Until now. The pot was already fat with IOUs, spare cash, and Jake’s ridiculous promise to do all the dishes for a month. Mia looked at her cards: a pair of eights and pure garbage. Perfect. She could win this clean if she wanted. Instead, she let her tongue dart out to wet her lower lip, catching Tyler’s gaze.
“All talk, huh?” she purred, pushing her remaining chips into the center with deliberate slowness. “Fine. Let’s make it interesting. Winner takes… whatever the winner wants. No limits. And if I lose—” She locked eyes with both of them, heat flooding her cheeks even as she grinned. “You two claim your winnings together. Right here. Tonight.”
Jake’s eyebrows shot up, but the spark in his eyes said he wasn’t objecting. Tyler’s charming smile turned downright filthy. “You’re bluffing.”
“Am I?” Mia held her cards loosely, heart hammering. She wanted this. Had engineered the whole weekend around it—the rented houseboat, the endless beer, the slow build of glances and teasing. When Tyler finally called and Jake matched, she flipped her hand with a theatrical sigh. “Pair of eights. Looks like I just deliberately threw the best hand of the night. Oops.”
