My partner lost me to another alpha in a twisted card game. He made the bet while drunk, but the winner took it seriously. And the next morning, he came to collect.
The man my partner bet to an inside straight on was a career criminal who always got what he wanted.
Except me. When I heard the hushed conversation, I took off, threw my phone out the window, and never looked back. I’ve received threatening online messages from my partner and anonymous numbers, but I’m hoping here, in the desert, at my new job, I won’t be noticed–or found.
Our resort is for making alphas’ fantasies come true but one night when a guest asks me for a drink, I realize, he’s about to grant mine.
