Good luck, Kitt. She set two cards down, looking over at him as she took two more.

[knight_2000]

He wanted three cards, but he was afraid that if he asked for that many she'd realize just how bad this hand was. Again. Never taking his eyes off her face, he discarded and spoke. "Two."

[sawyourwolfjunk]

She'd know either way, and he should have gone with three, but she slid his two cards over, looking at him over hers and waiting.

Just. Waiting.

[knight_2000]

No help there. The best he could hope for was high card. He sighed to himself, catching her eyes for a moment in an admission of blind defeat before laying down his cards.

[sawyourwolfjunk]

Lucky for her, because she only had two pair. She'd been going for a full house, but... no such luck.

Fortunately, that still trumped him, and she leaped across the couch to tackle him, laughing as she pinned him down. "I win. Your ass is mine, Kitt."

[knight_2000]

He was so sorry for her luck.

He closed his eyes for the briefest of moments before she was tackling him. "I'm never betting against you again." How many days? He would never live this down.

[sawyourwolfjunk]

Nine more days on twelve was twenty-one. Hah. Hah. "Don't be a poor loser. Consider it a life lesson." She booped him on the nose, still beaming. "Now, I wonder if I should make you do the speedo thing now or later...?"

[knight_2000]

Three weeks. Good grief. "Oh, don't worry. I'm not likely to forget this." Gracious. Could he feign a headache?

Hang on. His eyes went from closed to open wide, complete with gawping mouth. "Now? No. You wouldn't."

[sawyourwolfjunk]

Her grin turned absolutely wicked, and she kept him pinned down. "Oh, but I totally would. I'm just wondering if I should."

[knight_2000]

She was serious. Despite that smile, she was absolutely serious. For a moment he was almost afraid of her. Afraid and. Something else that he couldn't quite put a name to.

Offering to bargain would only get him in even more trouble. "But I wish you wouldn't?" Hopeful.

[sawyourwolfjunk]

"Mmm, maybe I'll make you drink instead." She moved in and pressed a quick kiss to the corner of his lips, then bounced off him and reached for the wine bottle, topping up her mug and tipping back half of it in a swallow.

[knight_2000]

He might even consider that a fair compromise. He breathed a sigh of relief, pushing himself up with his elbows to sit.

"How much do you drink, Kenzi?"

[sawyourwolfjunk]

"As often as I can," she answered, smiling cheerfully. "It dims the angry edges of the world. Wanna join me?"

[knight_2000]

Uh huh. "Do I have to?"

[sawyourwolfjunk]

"Do you want to?" She wagged her mug at him.

[knight_2000]

"Not really." But it was part of the deal.

[sawyourwolfjunk]

"C'mon, Kittypoo, don't be such a stick-shift in the mud."

[knight_2000]

He threw a dubious look in her general direction before acquiescing. "Let me have the mug." May as well get the two drinks over with. That way he wouldn't have to worry about it later.

[sawyourwolfjunk]

Beaming, she filled it back up before she handed it over. No way was he getting off light. She started drinking from the bottle. "Way to go. You might actually have fun..."

[knight_2000]

Full to the brim. "This is your idea of one drink?" He took a hesitant sip, making a face at the burn and the bitterness. "I have plenty of fun."

[sawyourwolfjunk]

"Mmhmm." She watched the wince, grinning and preparing for an amused evening. "You do not. You brood. Brooding's not fun, K-man."

[knight_2000]

"I think brooding's fun?" No point in denying the truth. He wrapped both hands around the mug and took another drink, slightly larger this time, a whole mouthful. Somehow he didn't think it was the kind of wine served at the tastings with palate cleansers in between. He'd drink it, prove to her that he could, and be done with it.

[sawyourwolfjunk]

He'd drink two, and she'd be watching him. "It's not. You need to get your priorities straight, Kitto." He had this look on his face like most upper class types did when they looked at her, and it made her want to make him wallow a bit.

[knight_2000]

"And I suppose you're the person to do that for me?" He had half a smile when he said it, gently teasing her, holding up the mug for emphasis. He may have had that look on his face, and he may have been thinking it about the wine, but it didn't extend to her.

[sawyourwolfjunk]

"Maybe. Maybe not. We'll see, won't we?" She said this primly, taking another drink from the bottle - totally destroying the image.
