But after Craig brings a new deck of cards and they use them fresh from the pack, will Courtney impressively win hand after hand, some of the best winning hands ever seen in the game of poker?<\/p>\n<p>And will each win subtly have Courtney more and more aroused, a bit bustier looking to her confused husband, and a lot flirtier with his friends?<\/p>\n<p>She may be winning the game, but in the end will more than her lucky streak get broken as they all realize The CHAOS in the Cards?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/2093265\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Smashwords!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0H19989K5\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The heat isn&#8217;t over, and the CHAOS never ends as poker night takes on a whole new meaning after one man&#8217;s wife sits in only to unpredictably win hand after hand.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of things for Andrew to love about his life, good job, great home, nice car, and a beautiful wife in his gorgeous blonde Courtney. But poker night is definitely a lifelong love, a night he and his three buddies get together to sit around the table in his man cave and play cards, making silly wagers, talking women and sports, generally just having a good time.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately poker night always is the four of them, four players, and on this particular night, as Andrew and Nolan watch, their buddy Craig is on a phone call with their fourth that doesn&#8217;t seem to be going well. When that call ends, Craig shares the news, Clay can&#8217;t make it, the doctor of their group having an urgent situation elsewhere at the last moment.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a bummer for all of them, but when Andrew shares how it&#8217;s been a stressful week at home, his wife&#8217;s girlfriends all flaking on her and going on some girl trip without her, it inspires the idea that may forever change everything about anything Andrew loves in his life.<\/p>\n<p>Craig looks to Nolan with an idea, and as a car salesman who never really wins at poker, it&#8217;s easy to see the wheels turning. And Nolan is happy to let the suggestion be made, anything to avoid going home to the frigid bitch of a wife he has waiting there for him. And so they suggest letting Courtney sit in on the game as their fourth, an idea Andrew isn&#8217;t so wild about, given poker night is usually an escape from the wives and stresses of everyday life.<\/p>\n<p>Of course as Craig and Nolan put it, why would anyone want to escape from a beautiful blonde like Courtney? So Andrew relents and soon Courtney is descending into the man cave to play poker with the boys. But after Craig unwraps a brand new deck of cards he bought off a guy at the car lot, will their luck be broken as Courtney seems to get the lucky winning hand each and every time, or will Courtney end up being broken in the end?<\/p>\n<p>The cards have a pungent scent, that plastic odor of freshly unwrapped cards, but Courtney doesn&#8217;t mind and soon even seems to enjoy it, along with her winning hands and teasing smiles. But Andrew is noticing her figure more and more as well; are the wins somehow enhancing her chest or is he just imagining it? And is Courtney almost acting a little drunk after a few wins, whispering aroused thoughts and desires to her husband&#8230; even accidentally whispering to the other guys as she seems a little more out of it?<\/p>\n<p>A friendly game of poker gets more than just friendly, and the stakes are definitely getting HOT this August, but the real CHAOS is in the Cards!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/2093265\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Smashwords!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0H19989K5\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Coming next&#8230; The heat grows on you&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After their fourth calls and can&#8217;t show for poker night, Andrew is talked into letting his beautiful wife Courtney sit in and play.
