Fluffy Zane remained silent. To be honest, she had no idea what game she could play. It seemed... she couldn't play anything.
William Guillen pulled her arm, leading her to a gambling table. "Sit down, and I'll teach you how to play."
"No need," Fluffy Zane refused, her tone blunt and indifferent.
"No need? So you already know how to play?"
Fluffy Zane stubbornly pressed her lips together, saying nothing.
"Don't be difficult. I'll teach you."
William Guillen signaled the croupier to deal the cards. Fluffy Zane sat quietly as William leaned in and whispered the rules into her ear.
He leaned extremely close. Fluffy Zane couldn't focus on what he was saying at all; all her senses were heightened. His voice, his breath... and the faint, crisp masculine scent he exuded.
William Guillen repeated the rules twice, but Fluffy Zane showed no reaction. He turned his head, looking at her profile. "Did you hear me, Fluffy?"
Fluffy Zane remained silent, giving no response.
