Zach's POV

My eyes widen in horror as I hear Olivia's resolute voice. I can't believe she just bet all her won money against Caleb. I know this guy and how he's playing.

"Well, you're a very brave girl!" Caleb scoffs with a smug grin on his face. I give him a warning look, but he just laughs triumphantly.

I can't bear to watch as the dealer places the last card on the table, and Olivia, Caleb, and William, the third player, lay down their hands.

Caleb grunts angrily and also from William's side a little snort can be heard.

I look at Olivia, who disbelievingly eyes the cards on the table, so I risk a glimpse and instantly smile widely.

"Zach, I won," she stutters and turns to face me.

"You did, baby," I retort and squeeze her little hand.

Caleb stands up and walks to our side of the table.

"I may have underestimated your woman, shorty," he states and then turns towards Olivia. "Four of a kind in aces. I hate to admit, but well played, young lady! I was sure I would win with the full house I got. Maybe you give me a chance to get even next time!"

Olivia eyes him skeptically.

"We'll see," she simply replies, and Caleb leaves the room with a smirk on his face.

What happened to him? He acts like a different person.

The Caleb I know would be fuming after losing nine thousand dollars.

"Wow, Olivia! That was some brilliant game!" That's Jake's impressed voice. He leans back in his chair, shakes his head, and takes a sip of his whiskey.

"I can only agree with that!" I say while eying all the chips lying in front of my beautiful girlfriend. She managed to go from the three thousand dollars she started with to over twenty thousand dollars. Just the happiness on her face makes up for my losing, and the way she played out all these experienced poker players fills me up with pride. That's my girlfriend!

"I'm leaving with a plus of twenty thousand dollars, guys!" Olivia breathes with wide eyes as all the money is handed to her, and Jake and I give her a broad grin. We're leaving the casino hand in hand and get into Jake's car.

"Did you have fun?" I ask Olivia and place my hand on her thigh as Jake starts the engine.

"Mmh, I enjoyed the game, but you lost all your money," she retorts and rests her head on my shoulder.

"That's poker, Olivia. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Today you won and that's worth celebrating!" I tenderly kiss her temple and soak in her smell.

Olivia raises her head and faces me with a sweet smile.

"Celebrating?" she asks, and I nod smirking.

"I will show you how great poker winners are treated," I whisper into her ear.

A grunt is heard from the front of the car.

"Guys, you know I'm still here, right?" Jake shoots us an annoyed glance through the rear-view mirror, but I spot a light smirk on his lips.

"Sorry, Jake!" Olivia shyly smiles at me with rosy cheeks. I move my hand a little higher up her thigh, causing Liv to squeeze her legs together and she looks at me with dark eyes. I can sense a light anticipation in her glare.

"Wanna join us for a drink, Jake?" Olivia asks as we stop in front of her house.

"I'd love to, Olivia, but I have to get up early and it's nearly midnight already. Next time!" Jake answers.

"All right. Thanks for the ride buddy," I say and hop out of the car.

"He's a nice guy!" Olivia states as we wave Jake one last time before he disappears around the corner.

"He is indeed," I retort and grab her by her waist to pull her closer. "You were amazing today, Liv!"

She smiles at me and softly pecks my lips.

"Let's head inside!" She grabs my hand and pulls me towards the door.

I walk to the kitchen unit and pour us two glasses of wine. Olivia, who followed me, thankfully grabs the glass.

"To the amazing woman right next to me!" I say and we clink our glasses.

Olivia sighs deeply and closes her eyes for a second.

"I still can't believe that I won so much money, Zach!" she states leaning against the counter.

I chuckle lightly and step closer while loosening my tie.

"You played out all those stupid loudmouths!" I take the glass from her, and place both our drinks on the counter. Olivia intently watches my motions with her big, grey-blue eyes.

"I was just lucky," she retorts lowly and shrugs her shoulders.

"Oh, come on! You knew exactly what you did. You may have had a bit of luck as well, but you kept a straight face all through the evening and didn't give them one chance to read your expression!" I place my hands on her hips and rest my forehead against hers.

Liv smiles fondly at me and fiddles with my loose tie.

"This dress of yours is tempting, you know that?" I whisper with a husky voice.

"Is it?" she replies quietly and raises her eyebrow.

My eyes wander to her plump lips. "Uh-huh," I mutter before softly pressing my mouth on hers. We instantly melt into a passionate kiss and Olivia's hand wanders up into my hair, softly tugging at it. Her touches leave me craving for more. I crave for her skin on mine, her little moans into my ear. Since I experienced her body that way, I don't think I can ever get enough of it.

*Sexual content ahead*

"I want you, baby!" I murmur between our kisses and gently bite her bottom lip.

Our eyes meet and Olivia tenderly strokes over my cheek. That's all I need to lift her up and carry her bridal style to the bedroom where I carefully set her down and kiss her again.

My hands explore her body as our tongues start to move in sync. Feeling her sexy curves under my fingers elicits a soft moan from my throat.

Olivia breaks the kiss and turns around.

"Can you open the zipper for me, please?" she asks and beams at me over her shoulder.

"Nothing I'd rather do!" I retort, slowly pulling down the zipper and brush the gown off Olivia's shoulder, causing it to fall to the floor and scatter around her feet. A white lace lingerie comes to light and I take a moment to adore the stunning back view of my girlfriend.

"You are so beautiful," I mutter hoarsely, step forward, and kiss her neck. The touch of my mouth on her bare skin makes her shudder, and she tilts her head aside while grabbing my hands which softly caress her stomach. She turns around and places her delicate hands on my neck, shyly smiling at me.

"I'm so happy I've met you!" she whispers.

I cup her face and tenderly stroke her rosy cheeks with my thumbs.

"I might not be here today if you hadn't saved me that night," I whisper back and fondly smile down at the beauty in front of me.

"Don't say so!" Olivia blinks with a slightly hurt face and then uses her hands on my neck to pull me down into a kiss full of passion and need. I shove my tongue into her hot mouth, earning a soft sigh from her. My hands wander to her booty and squeeze it gently. My excitement in my pants grows every second I feel the light touches from this woman. I quickly remove my tie and slip out of my jacket, both lands somewhere on the floor.

Without separating our lips, Olivia starts unbuttoning my white shirt. Her little hands working on my chest make my heart thumping wildly.

"Liv," I breathe huskily and break the kiss. "You're driving me crazy!" I smile tenderly and tuck a loose strand of her caramel-brown hair behind her ear.

A suggestive smirk appears on Olivia's full lips as she brushes my opened shirt off my shoulders. I help her and carelessly throw it to the floor. My now exposed chest rises and falls quickly, as my breath is getting faster.

Liv's eyes wander over my body and linger on my lower stomach.

"I don't think you need them anymore," she whispers and unbuttons my dress slacks.

I chuckle nervously and watch her pulling down my trousers. She lets her hand trail over the outline of my erection, and I close my eyes and hiss through gritted teeth. The touches of this woman could finish me off in less than a minute. I grab her wrist and face her. Her beautiful eyes look at me quizzically.

"Olivia, tonight is about you!" I state lowly and grab her thighs to lift her up. A surprised moan escapes Liv's throat as my hands wander to her back and open her strapless bra in one swift motion, causing it to fall to the floor beside all the other stripped off clothes. Holding her tight, I walk us to the bed and carefully lay her down on the soft bedding.

I hover over her body and my hand moves to her breasts, softly squeezing her nipples between my fingers while I start kissing her neck.

"Zach," Olivia breathes and weaves her fingers in my hair.

Teasingly slow, I start placing soft kisses down her chest. I'm eager to touch every inch of her precious body, but I also want this intimate moment with her last as long as possible. When I reach her breast and swirl my tongue over her nipple, she gasps and tilts her head back. Encouraged by how much power my mouth has over her, I wander further downwards. As I reach the waistband of her lace panties, I look up and notice Olivia's gaze on me.

She licks her full lips, and, without breaking eye contact, I pull down the little piece of lace, leaving her bare naked beneath me. I slowly spread her legs apart and start placing light kisses from her ankle upwards. Olivia watches every move I make with dark eyes filled with lust and anticipation. I lie down on my stomach between her parted legs and press them down to get a better access. As I start kissing her on her most sensitive area, little noises start coming from Olivia's mouth.

"Fuck!" she moans as I slowly shove one finger into her slick opening and start thrusting it in and out while sucking on her little nub.

"You taste so good, baby," I mutter into her wetness, causing her to wince under the little vibration of my words. I quicken the pace and add another finger. Olivia's breath becomes heavier the longer I kiss her, and she tightly grabs the bed sheet next to her.

"Zach, I...," she breathes between her moans, earning a soft smirk from me. I know she's close.

"Come for me, baby!" I groan and swirl my tongue over her little bundle of nerves again. That's enough for her to come undone. She throws her head back into the cushion and moans loudly while her fingers grab my hair tightly.

I watch her riding out her high, squirming and writhing under my loving mouth. The sight of Olivia experiencing her heavenly peak is so hot. I can't wait to be in her. To become one with her and feel her as close as possible.

With relish, I lick my lips and hover over her body again to kiss her eagerly. Olivia pushes me on my back and breathlessly smirks down at me. I return the smile and watch her as she pulls down my boxers, revealing the excitement I have for this woman.

"Olivia! I want you so bad!" I breathe as she strokes my hardness.

With slightly parted lips she gives me a lustful smile before straddling me. She starts grinding her wet center against my erection and inhales shakily. A deep moan leaves my throat at the intense friction.

"Shit...," I mutter and lift my hands to caress her breasts. "That's so hot!"

"Sit up!" Olivia orders in a whisper and I willingly obey, leaning against the headboard of the bed.

She places her hands on my shoulders and slightly raises her body, allowing me to position myself. I grab her hip and keep her from lowering her body again.

"Look at me!" I breathe hoarsely.

Olivia's eyes meet mine and with my hand on her hip, I guide her to slowly slide down on me. The feeling of filling her up makes my mind dizzy and I pull her into a heated kiss.

"You feel so good!" I groan into her mouth. Olivia's eyes flutter as she starts moving her hips up and down at a slow pace.

"I won't last long, baby," I pant. Olivia's feminine body pressed against mine and her tight walls enclosing my shaft feel so amazing. I know I'll finish within no time.

Olivia's breathing becomes heavier as she quickens the pace, and she grabs my shoulders for support. I start moving my hips to meet her thrusts.

"Oh.God.Zach!" Olivia moans as I start circling my thumb on her swollen nub. Her body tenses under my touches and I start pounding into her from beneath.

"Baby...," I breathe laboriously and place both my hands on Liv's hips. Her nails dig into my shoulders and she cries out in pleasure as I feel her walls tightening around me.

"I come!" Her voice filled with pure lust and release finishes me off. I firmly push her body down on mine and feel the tingling contraction at my center.

"Olivia," I groan as I pump my load into her. Liv sinks down on my shoulder and I wrap my arms around her shaking body. Our loud moans fill the room and the world around us fades away as we savor our intimate passion.

We hold each other close for a few minutes before Liv slides off me.

"Shit," she breathes and snuggles into my heated chest. "That was intense."

I chuckle deeply, caressing her ruffled hair.

"Fuck, yea," I agree with her, and trail random circles on her arm which rests on my stomach.

*smut end*

"Zach?" Olivia starts hesitantly.

"Yeah?"

"How much money did you lose tonight?" she asks me quietly.

I inhale deeply and groan.

"Don't worry about it," I reply. Olivia should not feel bad for my loss. It was my own stupidity paired with bad luck which has cost me all my money in the end.

Olivia sits up and faces me.

"But I do! I won so much money whereas you lost all," she counters and raises her eyebrows.

With a deep chuckle I sit up and peck her swollen lips.

"I had bad luck, that's all." I shrug and smile fondly. "You know what they say. Unlucky at cards, lucky in love!"

Liv tilts her head and gives me a crooked smile.

"No, for real, Zach!" she insists, and her face becomes serious. "You need the money for your debts!"

"Olivia!" I say with a firm voice. "My debts are none of your business! I don't want you to worry about my problems!"

"We're in a relationship now which means we face our problems together!" Olivia retorts with a frown.

I smile broadly at the sound of her stern voice. It's cute how much she cares about my issues.

"Trust me, I have this covered," I reassure her and swing my legs out of bed to get myself cleaned up. "I'll be right back. I have to clean the mess we made!"

I wink at my beautiful girlfriend who shoots me a sheepish smile, and vanish into the bathroom.

When I return, I find Liv leaning against the headboard of her bed, staring against the wall opposite of her. She's pulled the blanket only over one of her legs, which reveals she's still naked. I stop and put my arms on the door frame.

Olivia notices me and her eyes wander down my body. A smirk appears on my face as her gaze remains on my center, knowing well I'm still naked as well.

"Damn, when did I get such a sexy boyfriend?" Liv mutters without taking her eyes from me.

I slowly step closer to the bed and stop right in front of it.

"I love to hear the word boyfriend out of your sexy mouth," I state and crawl into bed beside her. Olivia rolls onto her stomach and rests her chest on mine so she's lying half on top of me.

"The evening was nice! Maybe I'll come with you again soon," she says cheerfully and adds quickly, "Only if you don't mind, of course."

I tilt my head and frown.

"I'd love to take you with me more often, Livie!" I reply and shoot her a loving glance.

Olivia smiles happily and lays down her head. I tenderly stroke over her back and yawn.

"Let's get some sleep, baby!" I say, but Olivia doesn't answer anymore. She's already fallen asleep. With a smile on my face, I plant a soft kiss on her hair and carefully pull the blanket over our naked bodies.

"Sleep well, beauty!" I whisper and switch off the bedside light.

Olivia's POV

I open my eyes as something warm touches my face. A ray of sunshine shafts through my window and lightly tickles my nose. I'm glad I took the day off. I had a very nice lie-in.

With relish I stretch myself and notice the empty place beside me. Zach must has got up already, so I get out of bed and slip into Zach's shirt he had worn yesterday. It's big enough to cover my naked body and goes down to my thighs.

As I step into the living room, I spot Zach sitting on the couch, only wearing his boxers, and holding a steamy cup in his hands. He looks up at the sound of my footsteps.

"Morning sleepyhead!" He puts his mug on the coffee table and pulls me onto his lap. "Did you sleep well?"

I wrap my arms around his neck and snuggle into his bare chest.

"Like a baby," I reply and breathe in his masculine scent.

Zach places a gentle kiss on my hair.

"Last night was amazing. You were amazing! I'm proud of you!" he states.

I chuckle lightly and pull away to face him.

"It was great, yeah," I reply and kiss his stubbly cheek. "I think you need to shave. Your cheek tickles," I add giggling.

"I didn't shower yet. Wanna join me?" Zach asks me with a playful smirk.

"I wouldn't mind...," I say with raised eyebrows, and gasp as Zach stands up, still holding me into his arms, and walks towards the bathroom.

Zach sets me down again and starts unbuttoning his white shirt I'm wearing.

"I like it when you wear my clothes. They look way hotter on you than they do on me," he mutters hoarsely.

My cheeks blush at his husky voice and I stand up on my tiptoes to kiss him.

Just as we melt into a passionate kiss, the doorbell rings, making Zach and me both wince.

"Are you expecting someone?" Zach whispers with a frown.

I shake my head and quickly button up his shirt again before rushing to the door.

"Officer Clarks?" I ask surprised and tug at the hem of Zach's shirt in embarrassment.

"Miss Brooks," the Officer nods at me, simply ignoring my attire. "I'm sorry for the bother, but I was hoping to meet Mr. Wood here."

Zach steps beside me and confidently holds out his hand to Officer Clarks.

"Good morning, Officer," he greets him and smiles friendly.

Clarks shakes Zach's hand.

"I see I was right. Good morning Mr. Wood. Good to see you fit and well. Do you mind if I come in for a minute?" he asks with a polite smile in my direction.

I step aside and let him pass.

"Sure." I lead him to the living room and excuse myself to change into some proper clothes.

I wonder why he wants to see Zach again.
