Lust Contracts novel Chapter 24

“What do you have in mind?” George asked, clearly interested.

“One card. Whoever has the highest card wins. Simple, right?” Brandon said with a playful smile.

“How much do you want to bet?” George asked.

“I have too much money already so it’s a little boring,” Brandon said as he laughed softly.

“What do you want?” George asked, sensing that Brandon already had something in mind.

“Let’s see. What about a night with your beautiful wife?” Brandon suggested as he rested his chin on his hands and smiled innocently.

George didn’t quite understand Brandon’s obsession with Elena, but he was more than ready to use that to his advantage. Since they had gotten in touch to discuss Brandon’s interest to invest in some of his funds, George had realized that Brandon had asked or spoken about his wife quite frequently. He knew that his wife was very attractive, so it probably wasn’t unusual if Brandon had developed a liking to her. Although he had no idea if Brandon had ever met Elena in person before or not. They’ve probably never met but he must have seen her featured in the various magazines and tabloids when she attended public events like she often did.

“You want Elena? I don’t quite understand why you’re so obsessed with her,” George said, without bothering to hide his apparent surprise.

“I don’t either,” Brandon replied with a careless shrug.

“You’re quite funny,” George said softly.

“Do we have a deal?” Brandon asked.

“Depends on what you’re offering to bet in return,” George replied, knowing well how to negotiate.

“What about…this casino, this hotel, this entire business, and all assets to my name?” Brandon said, all smiles.

“Are you crazy?” George asked although he was excited about the proposal.

“Isn’t that what they always say about me?” Brandon said with an amused laugh.

George knew well what everyone said about Brandon. This guy was crazy and reckless to the core.

“You’ll keep your word?” George asked to make sure.

Brandon could sense the greed from George, and he knew that he had already won this bet. His mind was already thinking about how he would spend the time later tonight with Elena. After all, they haven’t met for around two years now. He wondered if she had changed. She probably has, and that excited him more than anything. Without a care in the world, he started smiling to himself as he thought of the pleasurable night that was waiting for him.

“Of course. I always do. There are plenty of witnesses here too so we’ll both have to keep our words” Brandon said as he gestured with his hands to the onlookers that had flocked to surround their table.
