“What’s the matter, you chicken?” she crosses her arms against her chest and challenges me and fuck, do I love a challenge.

“Not at all baby, I’ll see you at the altar,” my lips brush over hers as I tease her with a whisper of a kiss before I step back.

“You’re on,” she warns me, before calling in on the game.

“Hard ten,” I shout out, placing my chips and rolling the dice.

And I shit you not.

I roll a hard ten.

Dex cheers, giving me a slap on the back as the croupier clears the table and hands out my chips.

I steady my gaze on her for just a moment, “You’re on.”

And my heart jackhammers in my chest.

CHAPTER NINETEEN

ARIZONA

Walking the casino floor, Keaton’s fingers lace through mine in total obliviousness of our surroundings. In this moment, it’s just me and him. Dex and Sage are at one of the card tables, and after Keaton’s small win on craps, we took that victory to the bar.

I lean against him as he steps towards the bar, resting his arm on the high gloss countertop.

I am happy. Blissfully.

“What can I get you?” the smartly dressed barman asks, leaning across.

“An old fashioned and a…” he pauses for a moment and turns to face me.

“Vodka soda,” I nod and I see the barman eye me.

“You got ID?”

I nod, fumbling in my bag and handing it to him. His eyes flick up then back down again before he passes me my card back.

“Coming right up,” he says as Keaton slips him our room card.

I turn, looking out at all the different kinds of people that walk through the casino, but two people I definitely didn’t expect to see here are Killian and Reese.

“Keaton,” I whisper, tapping him on the top of his arm.

“Yeah baby?” he slurs; he is tipsy. Cute AF, but not when we’re about to get caught.

“Killian and Reese,” I hiss but it’s too late.

They’ve clocked us.

“Oh shit,” Keaton growls, but then explodes into laughter as he willingly walks over to Killian and shakes his hand.

“Arizona,” Reese beams, wrapping her arms around me.

“Reese,” I smile back at her as we pull away from each other.

“What brings you and Keaton to Vegas?”

I look over at Keaton, searching his face for an answer.
