Ch. 13 - Scratch-Off-Slut
Matthew's heart was hammering in his chest as he went into the store and told her to buy four of the $5 Tropical Treasure tickets from the blue roll behind the plexiglass. When she did, he took the first three and put them in his pocket, leaving her just the last one, and then she guided him to her apartment.
The whole way there, she kept looking at him like he was crazy, but he acted unconcerned. He wasn't, though. He was very nearly panicking. This hadn't been the book's idea, so there was no guarantee that everything was going to work out.
There was a very real possibility that he'd managed to screw something up, and he was going to stop being a millionaire before he'd even had a chance to cash the check. He didn't want to worry about that right now, though. Instead, he just studied Jill's cleavage in the rearview mirror and tried to tell himself it was worth the risk.
After all, if TomΓ© could win the lottery for him last night, she could just as easily do it again next week, right?
"Pardon the mess," she said defensively as he walked in, "I wasn't expecting to bring anyone over."
"It's cool," he said as he took the place in.
As far as pads went, hers was a little rough, but in between the clutter, there were enough feminine touches to remind him that this was a girl's place and not a guy's. He didn't just mean the bra hanging off the back of the couch, or the purple sheets and the band posters. Despite the fact that the sink was overflowing with dishes, all the plants that were scattered around the place seemed to be thriving.
Of course, the selection of gogo boots and outfits that she quickly moved to hide seemed to indicate that she was a stripper or at least a cam girl as her other job, but he didn't care; he was just enjoying the moment.
"Are you ready for the moment of truth?" she asked, coming back with a quarter to start scratching. To him, it didn't really seem like she was just eager to claim her million. She was too excited for that. It really seemed like she wanted to know if he had some sort of magic power.
Judging by the random pieces of hot topic occultism scattered around the place, he was sure that it would blow her mind if he showed her an actual magic book, but he quickly decided against it. That was one secret he dared not reveal to anyone.
"Not just yet," he said, leaning back on her couch, "I want to get my money's worth, so why don't we hit that bong first?"
That suggestion made her smile, and she set the tickets down on the coffee table while she packed her bong. They spent the next half hour getting high and talking about luck and fate. At first, Matthew was just trying to be mysterious and get Jill thinking, but as he felt the buzz start to settle into his skull, he found himself pondering the deeper questions in spite of himself. Why him? Why did he find that book? Why now?
That was when she started to scratch off the numbers on the card. It was one of the ones where the more numbers you matched, the more it paid out, and he held his breath as the first of ten numbers was a loser. The second one was too, but when she looked at him with a slowly spreading smile of triumph, he quickly shot back, "I wouldn't get your hopes up just yet, Jill, you'll be taking those clothes off any minute now."
She should have laughed that off, but something about that certainty made her go back to the ticket, rushing to find out if it could be true or not. Luck started to turn in his favor, though, and as the numbers were revealed one at a time, the jackpot started to add up.
After three numbers, the prize was only five dollars, but each prize after that raised it further. At fifty dollars they sat there silently, but when another victory increased that to one hundred dollars he whispered "I'm going to really enjoy seeing those tits of yours."
"A hundred bucks isn't anywhere near enough to fuck me," she shot back.
"This isn't about money," Matthew answered. "I'm not trying to buy you. This is about fate." Those words must have sounded pretty deep while she was stoned, because when he kissed her next, her lips parted easily enough. He was surprised, as anyone, that she didn't try to fight back. She actually believed this bullshit about destiny, but right now he would have a hard time arguing against it. This certainly felt like destiny.
"I haven't said a word about fucking you yet," he answered, breaking the kiss. You've got three more numbers to scratch off.
Jill looked at the card as if it were a venomous snake. She was almost afraid to keep going, but Matthew leaned in close, caressing her body through her top as he whispered in her ear. "Come on, beautiful - only one more number until we peel this top off, and I see how pretty you really are."
She didn't pull his hand away from groping her near breast. Instead, she leaned forward and scratched off the next number, increasing the winnings to five hundred dollars. He took the opportunity to slide his hand inside her bra and tweak her nipple, but she didn't look away. Instead, she just moaned slightly as she started to scratch off the second-to-last number.
"A $1,000, and one more to go," he growled, "I wonder what that gets me?"
"If you can make the last number a winner too, I guess I'll have to do whatever you want," she breathed.
Matthew groped her breasts while he watched. In truth, he had no idea if the last number was a winner or not. All he'd asked the book to do was to identify a lottery ticket worth at least a thousand dollars for tonight's game, and right now it was worth exactly that. One more would make it a $5,000 winner, though, and though he'd heard that was what a high-class escort would have charged, he was sure that Jill's number was a lot lower than that.
This wasn't about the money anymore. This was about what the universe decided for her. Was it her destiny to fuck him or not? That's what hung in the balance between them for the next few seconds, and he had his finger on the scale. As soon as her shoulders slumped in defeat, those fingers started to slide lower, though, and she spread her jean-clad thighs easily enough.
"So, what are you going to do with your winnings?" Matthew asked automatically. He started kicking himself almost as soon as they were out of his mouth, though. This wasn't supposed to be about money. It was supposed to be more mysterious than that.
"I don't know," she purred seductively. "What are you going to do with yours?"
He moved to kiss her then, but only because he had nothing to say to a line that hot. It was sexy as hell, but he lacked the experience to really say how this should go next. He racked his brain as his tongue danced with hers, but the best he could think of when he came up for air was, "Why don't you show me what I've won?"
Jill smiled and reached for the bottom of her top to pull it over her head, but Matthew stopped her. "Not like that," he said. "I want you to do it slowly. Seductively."
"Oh? You want your own private show?" she sighed, biting her lower lip. "You really are a mystery, Matt. I didn't tell you that I put on little shows sometimes to make ends meet. Can you really see right through me so easily?"
Matthew didn't answer. That seemed to be best. He just watched as she stood up slowly and sinuously, using her phone to scroll through a playlist of bassy R&B before she found the right song. Then she looked through his eyes and straight into his soul as she started to gyrate her hips.
"I'm going to take you on the ride of your life," she purred, before the music picked up, and she started to dance in earnest. At first, the show was just a tease. The tight black jeans that had shown off her ass came off quickly, and the top wasn't too far behind it.
Her mismatched bra and panties, though - they stayed on for far too long. There was a quick peek here and there, and several times she squeezed her breasts together and leaned forward enough that he could stare down her magnificent cleavage, but she didn't really show him anything for the length of the first song.
When the second one came on a few minutes later, she finally ditched the bra, but did it facing away from him, and proceeded to spend the next minute grinding her ass inches from his face while she kept that glorious view out of sight. It was only when she was down to panties and there was a lull in the song that she sat down in his lap and began to grind against his bulge instead.
"You know, if this was a normal dance at a club you'd have to keep your hands to yourself," she admonished as his fingers started to trace the sides of her rib cage on their way to her beautiful tits.
"Nothing about tonight is normal," he breathed as he grabbed her breasts and squeezed hard enough to yelp. That little push was all she needed.
Jill turned her head and kissed him hard as he pinched her nipples. "No, it's not, she agreed. Tonight you can do anything you want."
