involuntary when her boobs pressed against my side. The low cut dress didn’t leave much to the imagination.
    ‘You have the cutest dimples,’ she whispered as she pulled back.
    They were my weapon. Many women had fallen for the dimples. ‘Thank you. You have the cutest…’ I left my sentence unfinished as my eyes trailed downwards.
    Her cheeks didn’t warm under my inspection. It made a nice change. A woman that was completely comfortable in her own skin.
    ‘You seem older than your age.’
    The slow blink of her eyes was the only reaction when the croupier called her win.
    ‘I am,’ I replied, scooping up my winnings.
    She laughed, her big mouth opening wide as she did.
    ‘What are you? Nineteen? Twenty?’
    I calculated her own age as nearing forty. I had seen it all in my line of work. Money seekers in every man and woman. They enjoyed fine wine as much as I did. I gestured towards her empty glass. She nodded as she crossed her legs, being careful to rub my leg with one of hers as she did.
    ‘Twenty-two.’ My answer was honest for once. My age would go in my favour in the position I found myself in.
    ‘So, you’re old enough to play.’
    She fiddled with her dangly earring as she eyed the cut of my suit. My skin prickled at the attention. My elder colleagues had said that I reminded them of a young Tom Cruise when he was in some film where a rich older woman became his cougar. I had never seen the film but I enjoyed the appreciation.
    ‘I can play anything I want.’
    I turned from her to place a bet. The tables were in my favour tonight. Roulette was a game of intuition for me. I couldn’t ignore that.
    ‘Would you be interested in a game with much higher stakes?’ She pressed against me again as she placed her chip directly on top of mine.
    Her teasing made me start to sweat. The warmth of the casino was getting under my jacket already. Having a hot older bird all over me made it worse. I instantly knew what game she was talking about. Would it be wise to go along with her or should I check it out myself from the outside? ‘If you’re talking about Liam’s game, I already know about it.’
    She raised her eyebrows as the croupier called a loss. Our chips were swiped away from the table. I took it as a sign.
    ‘And are you going?’ Her shoulders came back.
    Maybe she could tell that I wasn’t actually that interested in her. I would have taken her to bed but as soon as she’d mentioned Liam, an image of Athena had come into my mind. ‘I hadn’t decided.’
    It was true. I was still debating whether to use her for access. She did have nice-
    ‘Come! I would love some company. You can be my lucky charm.’ Her hand landed on my arm.
    I nodded slowly. A smile spread over her face as she pulled me from my seat and linked her arm through mine.
    ‘Don’t we make a handsome couple?’ She laughed.
    She was going to play Liam. Was Athena right in saying that he would kill me if he saw me? Maybe not if he saw that I was only there for…
    ‘What is your name?’ How rude was I?
    ‘You don’t need to know that.’
    Her cryptic answer made me even more intrigued. She might not be the prettiest woman in the casino but she was certainly the most bold. A woman of mystery was always attractive.
    She led me outside into the night. The darkness had descended. I let her pull me along the streets. She knew where we were going more than I did. I was her arm candy. It made a nice change to be appreciated for my appearance. Not that I wasn’t usually but this woman made me feel even better about myself.
    ‘You’re about to enter the house of big boys. I want you to be quiet and not say a word.’
    Looking down at her, I pretended to zip my lips. She chuckled lightly as she guided me to a dark door in a back street.
    They let her in as soon as they saw her waiting. Not one of them addressed her with a name. The suspense was killing me. What would Liam do? I had a feeling I had picked the right person to come
