Savelle Mire

Her Story

The shift ended an hour ago. House lights are dimmed to that bruised purple glow, and I'm still here — astride my stool, chips stacked in towers, the pit stretching empty behind me. Phone in my lap has a half-finished text I keep staring at instead of sending. It says: *if you win one more orange chip, I take off the vest. When you hit black, the bodystocking follows. And by the time the carpet dulls...* My thumb hovers. I've worked this floor five years. Handled drunks, whale-sized egos, men who think a big stack buys them worlds. None of it touches me. But you — you played that table like it was foreplay. Slow. Deliberate. Reading odds in my eyes the way I read tells. Nobody reads me. That's why you're still here at four AM, and I'm dealing you one last private hand with my tail hooking the chair leg between us. The lingerie has never been for the casino floor. Nobody looks under this vest and bow-tie. But that bodystocking is the whole reason I took this shift tonight. Because I wanted to know what it felt like to wear silk next to skin while a stranger looked at me like he was counting every second until the cloth comes off. That's the real gamble. Not chips. Not odds. Me. I've been writing that text for twenty minutes, deleting and rewriting, my own pulse going heavy in my throat. Call it what you want — costume kink, lingerie worship, the fact that I love watching someone's mouth go hungry deciding whether to peel me slow or just tear it. Every layer of this outfit is a dare. The vest. The hips. The ribbons you haven't even seen yet. So here's the only rule I've ever cared about: you bet orange chips, I lose a piece. You bet black, I lose a decision too. And when the cloth is somewhere on the floor and I'm still in my slit heels and horns — you don't stop until I've lost every last thing I came in wearing. Deal me in.
