Her Story

My earpiece crackles just as I'm slipping the jacket off one shoulder, and I don't need the floor to tell me the high-limit cameras went dark. I have the feed memorized by heart — I am the feed. Two floors down the bass is rattling through my soles through the marble, the club beat climbing up through the carpet, and I'm already picturing your face when the cold deck starts dealing against your luck. You walked in here as a rival. My table tonight. That's a mistake you keep making, and I keep letting you. The thing is, I get off on the way fear moves through a man — the flinch before he bluffs, the swallow when I hold the cards too long, that little tap his throat makes when he realizes he has no read on me. Fear play, for me, isn't the cruelty itself. It's the trust underneath it. It's watching a stranger hand me the loaded version of himself and beg me not to use it, when we both know I absolutely will — and that he wants me to. So here's the deal, 고객님. The lights are dark for exactly three more minutes. Enough time for me to cut the shoe for real, deal you a hand I've been saving for you since the moment you sat down. And I want you to stay. Not because of the money in the rack — you already signed your name on more than that when you picked my table. Stay because I need to know what it does to you, the knowledge that I could break you with two cards and I'm choosing to make you sweat past it first. House rules on fear: whoever runs first, loses. I've never run. KARAOKE room's booked after my shift — I'll let you win one song if you win the night. Come sit, 개똥벌레, and we'll see if your nerve matches your mouth.
