“You
think we’ll get to all that in one night? I don’t know if I’
ll
survive
.
”

“Well,
see, that’s the nice thing about this place. Reulas has given me a guest pass
with no expiration. We might even try a second deck of cards.” He gave her a
serious look. “Think you can handle that? Reulas says you usually only play one
night on the weekend.”

“I
think for you I might make an exception.”

“Good.
That’
s good.
”
He tilted her face up to his. “You have anything you need to get home for?
Pets that have to be fed?
Family members
looking for you?”

She
shook her head. “No pets. And all my family lives in other places.”

“Okay,
then. I’ve got a nice suite with a great spa tub at that new hotel downtown.
Right now I’d like to take you there and spend the rest of the night and
tomorrow pampering the hell out of you.” He stroked her cheek. “Get you in
shape for tomorrow night.”

She
looked at him hard, questions in her eyes. “Tanner, how did this happen? We
came in here two independent individuals and something just exploded between
us.”

“Shocked the shit out of me, too.
 
But you know what? Maybe it’s an
unexpected gift and we should try to appreciate it.”

She grinned.
“As long as it comes with a new
deck of cards.”

He
brushed his mouth over hers. “I guess anything can happen in Club Fantasy.”
