  ACE PUT HIS KEY in the door, he still couldn’t believe a messed up kid like him was actually about to start college and on a full scholarship. Maybe all those times he ran to get away from his abusive father and the police were what steered him to the Track Team. Hell, he didn’t know how to do anything but run. Thank goodness for Coach Nichols.

  “You going to stand there all day or are you going to open the door?”

  Ace turned around and there was a big muscular guy standing there holding three bags and a box.

  “Yeah, sorry.”

  Ace opened the door allowing the big guy to go in first. Once they were inside the big guy placed down his belongings and turned towards Ace.

  “I’m Chace McQueen.”

  Ace reached out his hand to shake Chace’s.

  “Ace Dean.”

  “Shane, it looks like our roomies have arrived.”

  Ace walked over and extended his hand.

  “Ace Dean.”

  “Declan King.”

  “Let’s get this party started. I’m Shane Hart.”

  After all the introductions were made Shane tossed each of the guys a beer.

  “So since we’re going to be spending this year together, why don’t we try to get to know each other.”

  “Shane, since it was your idea you go first.”

  “Declan, do you always have to be a prick?”

  Chace looked between Declan and Shane before he asked, "So, I guess you two already know each other?”

  Shane replied, “Yeah, Dec and I met a few years ago. We were both on our school’s wrestling teams. Dec will never accept the fact that I always beat him.”

  “Fuck you, Shane.”

  “You wish, Dec, you wish.”

  Ace looked over at Chace and smirked.

  Ace decided he should start talking before Declan and Shane ended up wrestling one another on their living room floor.

  “So uhh, I’m only here because I got a scholarship for Track. I haven’t a clue what I’m going to major in. I’m from California. It’s your turn, Chace.”

  “I'm a Criminal Justice major. I want to be a detective. I’m from Alabama. I'm here on a football scholarship. You're up Shane."

  Chace looked at Shane.

  “Hell, I wasn’t going to go to college but I got a full scholarship for wrestling and I figured it was my ticket out of Tennessee so I took it. I don’t know what kind of a degree I’m going to get but as long as I keep a 2.0, I get free room and board.”

  Ace looked up. “Your turn, Declan.”

  “This school was my first choice. I plan to graduate at the top of my class with a business degree and a six figure income before I graduate from Grad School.”

  Shane walked over to Declan and patted him on his back.

  “So Dec, since you plan to be the wealthy one, how about you go out and get us some more beer and a couple of pizzas?”

  “Shut up, Shane.”

  Shane smiled at Declan.

  “It’s ok, I know you love me, Dec.”

  Declan grabbed his keys and walked out the door.

  Shane, Ace and Chace laughed.

  Shane knocked on Ace’s door.

  “Come in.”

  “Hey, we are all heading out to a club to play Poker. Want to come?”

  “I never played before and I don’t have any money.”

  “I don’t have any money to play either, I’m going to watch Declan and Chace play.”

  “Ok, then I’ll come and hang with you.”

  Chace finally decided that he had lost enough money and it was time to fold.

  “I’m out.”

  Declan was holding his own, so he continued to play. After playing and drinking for most of the night, Declan started to win and win big. The other guys were getting kind of pissed that the newbie was beating them.

  “I think we should raise the stakes and play double or nothing.”

  Declan looked up at Charlie. He didn’t think he had enough money on him for double. He didn’t want to quit now that he was on a winning streak.

  “You in or out, newbie?”

  “I don’t think I have enough cash on me for double, will you take an IOU?”

  The guys laughed. Shane took off his Rolex watch and laid it down on the table.

  “This should cover it and then some.”

  Declan looked up at Shane.

  “Shane, no.”

  “What’s the big deal, you’re going to win.”

  Sure enough Declan did win. He grabbed Shane’s watch and handed it to him and then grabbed the cash from the table and started to stuff it into his pockets.

  “One more game.”

  “Charlie, are you crazy? You’ve already borrowed from all of us. You have nothing left. Give it up and accept the fact that this new kid beat your ass.”

  Declan began to walk away from the table.

  “I’ll bet you my club.”

  “What? I don’t have that kind of cash, not even with what I’ve won.”

  “Kid, this club is in the cellar of a building that is almost at the point of being condemne
d, I hate to lose and I’ve had too much to drink. Did you drive here?”

  “Yeah.”

  “Throw down your keys.”

  “My car for your club?”

  “I’m feeling lucky right now.”

  Declan looked at Shane and shrugged his shoulders.

  “So if I lose my car I have enough money here to buy a used one but if I win I’ll have a club.”

  Fifteen Years Later…

  ACE STOOD THERE STARING at himself in the mirror. It was exciting and fun back in college but now he was getting too old for this. Ace never would have imagined that three of his drunk college buddies and himself winning a card game would change their lives like this.

  "Ace, you're up in five."

  Jeff banging on the door and yelling, pulled Ace from his thoughts. He finished getting dressed, grabbed his helmet and headed out the door.

  Lucy sat there with her friends sipping down cocktails while they all talked about how happy they were. Lucy however, was not happy; her boyfriend had just told her he thought they should start seeing other people. If it wasn't her cousin's bachelorette party she would be home in bed eating copious amounts of ice cream.

  "Cheer up, Lucy. Look at it this way, you get to keep the guy and you're free to sleep with someone else if you want. It's like the best of both worlds."

  "I thought Tom was…the one."

  "Well maybe you will find a hottie tonight who will make you forget all about that dickhead."

  "Janey, we are sitting here watching men strip! Do you think any of those men are looking for a serious relationship?"

  "Hmm, ok, well, after the show we will go into the club or better yet into the casino. Maybe you will meet someone there?"

  "I don't think I want to meet anyone. I just want to drink until I forget, at least for tonight."

  Janey got up and hugged Lucy.

  The music started playing and Ace knew it was time to strut his stuff. He walked out on the stage and began wiggling his ass. He walked over to the guest of honor and escorted her up onto the stage and sat her down in a chair.

  The other women were whistling and yelling out to Ace how they wanted to handle his hose. Mary sat there watching Ace and blushed as he stripped down to his micro briefs.

  Lucy watched Ace as he gave her cousin a lap dance while she consumed her fifth drink. Her mind started to race about what Janey had said earlier about having the best of both worlds. She stood and proceeded to climb up onto the stage and grabbed Ace's ass.

  Ace felt a hand grab his ass. At first he didn't think much about it until that same hand reached around and grabbed his cock. That was a no in his rule book while he was performing. He grabbed her wrist and turned around and when he did, she kissed him. Ace pulled away.

  "I think you should return to your seat, Miss."

  Lucy stared into his eyes for a moment before she turned and walked back to her seat.

  Ace finished his show and then headed back into his dressing room. He couldn't get his mind off that one woman. Why did he have to meet her while he was performing and not at a bar. He headed to the shower. He had an early shift at work and needed to get home to bed.

  Lucy's family and friends headed off to the bar. She needed a few minutes to herself so she just stayed in their party room. Tom was such a jerk. She wanted to spend the rest of her life with him and he wanted to sleep around first before he decided if he could make a commitment. Originally she was heartbroken but now she was becoming more and more angry. She finished her drink and got up and headed towards the bar.

  Ace turned the corner and came to a screeching halt when he saw Lucy.

  "Hi, again."

  "Hey."

  "Can I buy you a drink, handsome?"

  "I uhh, I need to get home to bed."

  "Is that an invitation?"

  Ace stood there speechless for a minute. He wanted to say yes but decided he had better say no.

  "I find you very attractive b…"

  Lucy heard the word attractive and grabbed Ace's face and kissed him. Ace didn't stop her this time. He couldn't help himself. He kissed her back. Finally, Lucy released her hold on him and stepped back.

  "Come on, let's get out of here."

  Ace grabbed Lucy's hand and walked out the door; to hell with his better judgement.

  ACE PULLED IN THE driveway and was about to get out of the car when Lucy climbed onto his lap and started kissing him. Ace and Lucy kissed for a few minutes while she grinded against him. Finally, Ace opened the car door and got out with Lucy's arm around his neck. Once he straightened himself out she wrapped her legs around his waist as he walked towards the house.

  Lucy's phone started to ring in her pocket. Ace placed her down so that she could answer the phone.

  "I'm going to grab us some drinks."

  Ace walked into the kitchen to grab some beers. Lucy answered the phone.

  "Hello."

  "Lucy, where the hell are you?"

  "I left."

  "Left? Like went home?"

  "Left yes, but not to my home." Lucy chuckled.

  "You hooked up?"

  "Yes."

  "Bitch, then why are you talking to me? Call me tomorrow and I want details."

  "Good night."

  Lucy hung up the phone and before she had a minute to think, Ace walked out of the kitchen and smiled.

  "Everything alright?"

  "Yes. My cousin was worried because I left and didn't tell her."

  "Understandable."

  "My name is Lucy, by the way."

  Ace stood so his lips were almost touching Lucy's and he whispered, "I'm Ace, nice to meet you, Lucy."

  Lucy smiled and then they kissed. Ace picked her up in his arms and carried her to his bedroom. Lucy started to unbutton Ace's shirt while he held her. After he placed her down he unzipped her dress and then watched as it fell to the floor exposing Lucy’s beautiful body.

  Lucy thought about running once her dress dropped to the floor. She suddenly felt very insecure about her body. Before she had time to run, Ace dropped to his knees and pulled down her panties, then nuzzled his face between her legs. He picked her up and laid her down on the bed and then continued to kiss her body while he plunged his fingers deep inside her.

  Lucy reached down and grabbed Ace's cock and started to stroke it. It was so hard and bigger than Tom's. She started to get really excited.

  "I want you, I want you now."

  Ace looked up at Lucy and gave her a devilish grin. He stood up, stripped and grabbed a condom. Then he crawled back onto the bed and thrust himself inside her.

  Ace tried to hold off as long as possible before he finally gave in and came. When he was finished he got up and went into the bathroom to clean himself up.

  Lucy laid there in the bed waiting for Ace to come back so she could say goodbye and leave.

  Ace came out of the bathroom to find Lucy asleep. He climbed back into bed and covered them up and went to sleep.

  LUCY FELT ACE’S HAND move from around her waist, causing her to wake up. She felt hungover and really didn’t want to move but she was so ashamed of herself. She couldn’t believe she actually went home with a stranger and a stripper no less. She pulled on her dress, then grabbed her bra and panties and shoved them into her purse. Just as she was about to walk out of the bedroom she realized that she needed to pay him for the night. Lucy had no idea what a stripper charged. She grabbed her phone and Googled nightly stripper fees. The fees ranged between twenty dollars and two thousand dollars. Lucy reached into her purse and she had two hundred and three dollars. She quickly tossed it down on the nightstand and left.

  Ace woke up and reached out his hand but the bed was empty. He dreamt about having Lucy again before she left. Now she was gone and he never even got the chance to get her last name. Lucy was the first woman he had ever brought home from a strip show. It was almost like an unspoken rule to never bring a girl home from the strip club. Lucy, well Lucy rendered his mind useles
s once his dick took over. Ace finally decided to get his lazy ass up and get ready for work. He headed towards the bathroom but stopped when he saw a pile of crumpled up dollar bills on his nightstand. He grabbed the money and just looked at it, then he threw it at the floor and walked into the bathroom. He never felt as ashamed of himself or hurt than he did right now. He should have known someone like Lucy would never fall for a guy like him. All she saw was a stripper and a quick fuck. Hell she was probably married and cheating on her husband. Ace just shook his head and proceeded to shave and shower.

  Lucy pulled her phone from her purse and called Mary.

  “So did you do it? Did you spend the night? What’s his name? Is he hot?”

  “Yes. Yes. Ace. Yes. Now will you…”

  “Ace? Like as in the same Ace that gave me a lap dance?”

  Lucy was so embarrassed. She wanted to lie and say no but seriously how many men were named Ace?

  “Yes, one in the same.”

  “Oh dear Lord, girl! Was he as hot in bed as he was on stage?”

  “Mary, I’m really upset, can you just come and pick me up?”

  “Oh Honey, where are you?”

  “I’m up the street from his house at the corner of Vine Road and Clare Court.”

  “I’m on my way.”

  “Thanks.”

  Ace was dressed and ready to leave for work. He went back into his bedroom for his phone and was reminded of Lucy when he stepped on the crumpled up dollar bills he had thrown all over the floor. He knelt down to pick them up. He didn’t want her money. After he grabbed them all up from the floor he grabbed an envelope from his desk and stuffed them inside. He would donate the money or something. There was no way he was keeping it.

  LUCY FELT BETTER AFTER she talked to Mary on the ride home. Now she wasn’t sure how she would feel when she saw Tom. She decided not to tell him unless he asked. She opened the front door and Tom was standing at the top of the stairs looking down at her.

  “Look who finally decided to come home.”
