After ten minutes, the men finally made it to their destination and purchased their cards, which were loaded onto a nifty tablet. Pierce plunked down $5,000.00 for cards, and he wasn’t even playing all the rounds. Elite SA would easily clear over $3,000,000.00 that night, no doubt.
Pierce and Patrick found their seats and waited for the show to begin.
“Good evening, cherished members and guests of Elite San Antonio. Thank you for joining us tonight for Friday Night Bingo. We have some amazing prizes tonight, and we are eager to give them away. Your caller for tonight will be the lovely Miss Carter. Please give her a hand.”
A
thunderous round of applause, along with some crude catcalling, erupted once Arianna accepted the microphone.
“Thank you, Mr. Bruce, for the warm introduction. Good evening, everyone. As Mr. Bruce mentioned, my name is Arianna Carter, and most of you know me as Elite SA’s receptionist. I wish you all the best of luck. Let’s get started.”
Arianna received another round of applause as she took her seat at the bingo machine.
“For those unfamiliar with how we do things, we will start with the lowest retail prize and work our way to the grand prize, which is a Diamond Membership for a year. Our first prize for the evening is a $2,000.00 gift card to Williams–Sonoma.”
“See, this is where Elite SA will make the most profit. These little gift cards are $20.00 a card, and it’s nothing to piss away $100.00. Imagine if at least 300 people paid $100.00 for their cards. That’s $30,000.00. That’s a $28,000.00 profit. Pure genius,” Pierce excitedly exclaimed.
“Calm down. I think your nerd is showing,” Patrick chuckled.
Pierce snapped his mouth closed and focused on his cards and Arianna, who graciously called out the numbers.
“I still can’t believe you won the Tesla!” Patrick exclaimed.
“I’m just as shocked as you.” Pierce couldn’t believe he won the sleek Tesla Roadster. He could even customize it and pick what color he wanted for the interior and exterior before it was delivered to him in two weeks.
What Pierce enjoyed more than winning the prize was the sweet congratulation he received from Arianna. Of course, she congratulated every winner, but his was genuine.
“It’s still kind of early. Did you want to go grab a steak?” Patrick asked.
“Normally, I would say yes, but I have other arrangements. Take the Towncar.”
“Alright, congrats again, man. See you later,” Patrick said, sliding into the backseat of the car.
Pierce stood outside, waiting for Arianna to finish so they could leave together.
“Good evening, Pierce,” Stella purred from behind him.
“What are you doing here, Stella?”
“I was invited as a guest, and I managed to speak with the manager personally. I have a tour tomorrow, and from what I’ve witnessed s like it here,” she replied with a smirk.
“Good for you, just stay the hell away from me,” Pierce spat.
“I’m assuming your lady friend was here tonight since you put so much effort into your attire.”
think I will
“All you need to assume is that it’s not you. Seriously, stay away from me. This wasn’t some amicable divorce where we share kids and have to put on a friendly front. You wanted out, and you got it. You didn’t want me when we were together, so don’t want me now. You may become a member, but when

you see me, pretend you don’t know me and keep walking”
Stella kissed her teeth and stormed away once the valet brought her car to the front.
Pierce was grateful when Stella peeled out of the driveway. He already knew that Stella would become a huge problem, especially when she found out about Arianna. The two women had already butted heads over something as petty as scheduling a tour, and Stella definitely had it out for Arianna
“Pierce, what are you doing out here?” Arianna asked, coming up from behind him.
“I’was waiting for you. We’re going to your place tonight.”
“That’s pretty presumptuous of you. What if I already had plans?”
“I was your plan for the evening. I can confidently say that because you didn’t tell me that you weren’t wearing panties for no reason.”
“Smart and handsome. I love it,” Arianna purred, leading him to her car.
“You’re driving,” Arianna declared, tossing Pierce the keys. “Is your ex going to be a problem? You two appeared to be in a heated discussion, and I had to talk to Mr. Bruce regarding the tour situation.”
“I’m not going to lie to you, Ari. I think she’ll definitely be an issue. It’s like she’s weirdly fixated on me, even though she was the one who ended everything.”
“I think that’s pretty normal. One partner breaks up with the other, thinking the grass will be greener on the other side, and when they realize what a grave mistake they’ve made, they come crawling back, claiming they made a mistake and they want another chance.”
“I’m not interested,” Pierce said, putting his seatbelt on.
“I can tell,” Arianna whispered, playing with the silky strands of hair at the nape of his hair.
“Stop. That’s distracting,” Pierce remarked, pulling out of the parking lot.
“Oops. Is this better?” Arianna asked, placing her hand on his thigh, dangerously close to his hardened member.
“Let’s just keep our hands to ourselves while I’m driving unless you want to end up dead in a ditch somewhere,” Pierce warned, causing Arianna to giggle but place her hand in her own lap.
Arianna and Pierce arrived at her unit and could barely keep their hands off each other. Her legs were wrapped around his waist, and Pierce became quite aware that she wasn’t lying about not wearing panties. He sunk a finger into her warm pussy, causing her to cry out from her pleasure.
“Put me down. Let’s get inside,” Arianna breathlessly moaned. Pierce immediately dropped Arianna to her feet and handed her the keys. Arianna’s hands shook so badly that she dropped the keys on the floor. She bent over to pick up the keys and felt Pierce’s hard–on pressed into her backside.
“Fuck,” she gasped, snatching the keys off the floor. She shoved the key into the doorknob just as Pierce leaned down and slid one of her thin spaghetti straps down her shoulder. She moaned lowly once his hungry mouth made contact with her shoulder.
“Arianna?”
Arianna whirled around and gasped at the sight of her parents standing in the hallway. How did they know where she lived?
“What are you two doing here?” she asked, pulling herself together.
“We came to see you, but most importantly, who the hell is this?!” her dad yelled.
“Who he is, is none of your concern. You weren’t worried about me when you gambled away my future!”
“So, what, you’re an escort now?!”

“That’s wild that you would think so low of me!” Arianna snapped at her dad. She had expected her mother to chime in, but she just stood there like a bump on a log.
“Who is he then? He is older than we are!”
“Again, not your concern!”
Pierce awkwardly cleared his throat and decided
to introduce himself and de–escalate the situation.
“Good evening. My name is Pierce White, and I’m-”
Maybe he should’ve kept his mouth closed because he had no idea what to say. Arianna’s parents obviously thought she was fucking older dudes for money, so saying he was just a friend would look suspect. He didn’t want to cross the line and say that he was her boyfriend or they were dating because that wasn’t true either.
s eyes to bulge out. “He’s my husband, and you don’t have to worry about my well–being “He’s my husband!” Arianna shouted, causing everyone’s eye because I’m well taken care of, and I’m no longer your responsibility!” she screamed, flinging herself into her apartment and slamming the door after her. Pierce awkwardly stood in the hallway with Arianna’s parents, not knowing what to do. The door suddenly flew open. “Get yo ass in here!” Arianna growled, tugging Pierce into her apartment. She slammed the door shut and locked it, praying they would get the hint and leave.
Pierce watched Arianna snatch her gold hoop earrings out of her ear and angrily toss them onto her dresser. She opened her closet, threw her heels in, and shimmied out of her dress, leaving herself completely nude.
“I’m sorry about that, Pierce,” Arianna apologized, placing her hands on her hips. “I panicked, and I wanted them gone. They already thought I was turning tricks, and saying you were just a friend would’ve been a little suspicious. I apologize for putting you in that position.”
“You do know that your little stunt might have gotten rid of them for now, but they will definitely be back.”
“Most likely. I fucked up. My bad. Make yourself comfortable. I’m going to take a shower.”
“Would you like some company, Mrs. White?”
“Hell, might as well.“
