Read Online Stronger With Us (The Strength Series Book 3) by JA Hensley - Free Book Online Page B

It’s not as big as the casinos you usually see on CSI or other Vegas shows, but it’s comfortable. We change our money into chips and follow Colin to where he wants to play.
    “Hi, I’m Jennie, and I’ll be your dealer this evening,” we’re greeted as we sit down. She’s gorgeous. Long strawberry blonde hair, big green eyes, large tits, and legs that go on for days.
    “Nice to meet you, Jennie,” I say with a wink.
    “Are you boys having a good time in Sin City?” she asks as she deals the cards.
    “Much better now,” I answer and am rewarded with a blush.
    “Well, hopefully you’ll all score big tonight,” she says to us all while looking at me. My cock jumps to attention.
    “I hope you’re right.”
    We play a few hands, and Kevin wins some money. Runt excuses himself to find a drink, and Colin points at the slot machines. I thank Jennie for her time and she slips me her number, which I make a point to put in my pocket.
    “Jude Schafer, you better not be hitting on my staff,” I hear from behind me. Turning around I’m greeted with a big smile before being pulled into an even bigger hug.
    “Anne, I’m so happy to see you,” I say sincerely. She’s about the only thing I have left of my mom.
    “Where’s that little brother of yours? I haven’t seen him since we were up north the last time, dontcha know.”
    “He’s playing the slots, and I know he’s dying to see you.” We make our way down an aisle where Colin’s concentrating hard on his machine.
    “My word, he looks just like your father, doesn’t he?” Anne whispers. It’s true that I take more after my mother’s side than Colin does, but I’ve never thought he was my dad’s twin.
    “I’m not sure how to respond to that one, Anne.”
    “You and your old man still on the outs? Uff-da, you gotta let that go, Jude.”
    I silently shake my head at her Minnesota colloquialism and the implication. Nobody knows how my father actually treated me as a kid, so they wouldn’t understand now. I’m not sure my mother even really knew the extent of his violence.
    Colin looks up and breaks out in a smile that lights up the room. “Anne, I’m so happy to see you,” he says as he picks her up and twirls her around in a hug.
    “Oh, dear, I forget that you boys are so strong,” she laughs before Colin puts her down. “I hear congratulations are in order. Do I get to meet your lovely bride?”
    “I hope to bring her out tomorrow night, unless you have time to come to the wedding. It’s going to be just our friends, but you’re more than welcome.”
    “How about you bring her here. I don’t want to sneak up on the woman at her wedding. We’ll have a champagne celebration in the VIP lounge for you.”
    “That sounds like heaven. Clarence is going to be there too, right? I’d love to visit with him as well.”
    “Oh, yes, he wouldn’t miss it. Even though he’s getting old and forgetful, he still likes to party,” she laughs as she shakes her head.
    “Then count on the seven of us being here tomorrow night,” I say trying to avoid the Minnesota goodbye. There’ll be more time for that after the party.
    “All right, boys, I better get back to work, and Jude looks like he needs to relax. Behave yourselves,” Anne says as she pats us both on the arm before walking away.
    “It’s good to see that the nice doesn’t always wear off when you leave the state,” Colin says under his breath. I smile and nod, it’s comforting to have a little piece of home here.
    An hour later we’re all in the limo again headed for our next destination.
    “So, Colin, you have two choices now; we can go to a Gentleman’s club called Sapphire or we can find a cigar bar and hang out. It’s up to you, but you know what I would choose.”
    Colin looks at James. “What do you want to do?” Why is he asking him?
    “It’s your night, man; I’m just along for the ride. Don’t worry about me,” James answers.
    “I’m really not interested in
