"Well you look a little less terrible," Cosani said as she stepped
through the curtains.

Now more alert, J'ackt's eyes popped open immediately when the curtain
was twitched back. A smile spread his mouth at the sight of Cosani.
"Well, that's something." Propped up, his gaze was far less hazy. "You
look as good as ever."

She put a hand on her hip. "Trying to butter me up?"

His brows rose and the attempted innocent look completely failed. "Why
would I try buttering you up? But if I was, what could I get?"

"Right now? Nothing." She held up a deck of cards. "But I did bring
these, and maybe we can figure out something interesting to bet with."

"Oh, come on. Not even under the blanket?" J'ackt sighed and looked
down woefully at himself. "Never mind, the amount of fellis they're
giving me, I wouldn't be much fun anyway." He looked at the cards, his
brows twitching upwards. "Betting, huh? What did you have in mind
exactly?"

"Maybe the cards can give us some ideas." She pulled one out and
showed it to him. While the backs had a simple design, the faces of
the cards were particularly naughty, showing people engaged in various
sex acts.

J'ackt's mouth parted at the sight, his eyes widening slightly before
closing, feeling himself eagerly twitching, but doing little more than
that. "Sweet Faranth, Cosani, you're an evil, evil woman." He couldn't
help but laugh as he reopened his eyes. "Didn't we do that one
already?"

She looked at the card and laughed. "Well, there are plenty of others.
And we could always do this again. . ." Once the healers said it was
okay. She didn't want to break him, not like that anyway. Cosani's
stomach tightened as she thought about him almost dying.

"Wouldn't mind that at all." His eyes were warm as he looked at her.
Every moment he spent with her was just...fun. Not always relaxing,
thank Faranth, but always enjoyable. "So, what game, Cosani? And what
exactly are you wanting to bet?"

"Game is your choice. We bet things we want to do to each other."
Cosani nodded toward the cot he was on. "Once you're not laid up."
She'd had a few days to think about how she could entertain him, and
this seemed like a good idea.

"Won't be laid up forever. Don't really know too many card games," He
admitted. "What's a simple one we can bet with?" He studied her, his
eyes gleaming with the beginnings of ideas. He could think of several
things he wanted to do to her.

"Five-card dragonpoker is a classic. You must know that one." Cosani
started shuffling.

"T'nom tried to teach me that one just a day or so ago, but I fell
asleep during the game, " he admitted. "But we can try it." He paused,
then chuckled. "Why do I get the feeling that I'm going to end up tied
to your bed for candlemarks?"

A very slow, very wicked smile spread across her face. "I have a whole
box of special toys I can't wait to use on you." Now that he was
_finally_ done playing proper holder boy for Alina.

His brows immediately shot up before his eyes narrowed. Cosani was
nothing if not very inventive, which should probably worry him,
especially when she smiled like that. But, in all honesty, he loved
it; when that smile emerged, both of them usually ended up very, very
satisfied. "I'm right and truly fecking screwed then, ain't I? You
know how to play these shaffing games, I don't."

"Such a pessimist. I thought you liked it when I screwed you."

"Oh, I love it when you do." His lips quirked upwards. "Let's play. "

Cosani moved the small bedside table so it was between them and sat in
the visitor's chair. She laid out the first hand and picked up her
cards. "We can start slow if you're nervous." Her wicked smile
returned. "I bet you use your mouth on me."

He picked up his cards and studied them, trying to remember T'nom's
instructions. "I thought it was supposed to be something I wouldn't
normally do." He glanced up at her and smirked. "Fine. Then I bet that
you have to give up all control for one night." He studied his hand
and laid down two cards. "I'll take two."

Her jaw tightened at that idea. But unless J'ackt was hustling her, he
wasn't likely to win. "Fine. Then since you gave me such a great idea,
I bet I get to tie you up for a night." She dealt J'ackt his two cards
and took two for herself.
