Part One: The Challenge
Chris watched Ezra deal the cards so quick his eyes could barely follow. He narrowed his gaze as the last card fell and Ezra grinned at him mischievously.
"I ain't playing strip poker with you, Ezra." Chris leaned away from the table, leaving his cards where they lay. "Forget it."
Part Two: The Lure
When Chris opened Ezra's room door to the soft flutter of playing cards, he had an idea of what to expect. Ezra sitting cross-legged on his bed, shuffling cards, naked save for a skimpy towel, wasn't one of them.
"Well, Mr Larabee," Ezra said brightly, "I trust these odds appeal?"
