Tonight, Adam had been losing nonstop, luck wasn’t on his side, and the cold lines on his handsome face made it clear he wasn’t pleased.

Carly, who was seated beside him, was studying her cards. Beside her lay a fruit platter filled with fresh seasonal fruits. She reached out with her delicate hand, picked a plump purple grape, and peeled off its skin. Then, she held the glistening, juicy flesh to Adam’s lips.
