"I never discuss money with my clothes on. But I don't think he'll miss $3,000 and I'm worth every penny." She says defensively. "What's the matter, you don't like professional girls?"

"On the contrary," The Player replies. "I've always admired someone who can charge so much when so many are giving it away for free."

"All of it?" The dealer asks with apprehension. The Player nods.

A crowd gathers. The wheel spins. The dealer fidgets. The pit boss yanks at his shirt collar and moves in for a closer look. An entire mountain range of chips lay on a single number that will pay off 35-to-1 if it hits.

*****

The Player takes a stack of chips and lays it down on the pass line.

"If you win, you keep the money. If I win, you and your friend are mine for the night." He says referring to the Dirty Blonde.

"You can't handle two girls." Redhead teases.

"I'll bet I can."

*****

The Player is a professional gambler who lives life at full throttle and always on his own terms. However it comes out, the Player has no regrets. Another day, another game, another chance.
