Once a month, a few buddies and I have a poker evening. We've done it for years, and it's a good way to keep in contact with the guys when life, jobs and families get too hectic. We meet up, have a few beverages, and shoot the breeze. Louise has never minded me going, and the wins and losses are never more than a few dollars. About a year ago I had a bad night and lost probably about fifty dollars – not a great amount, but when I got home, I joked that when I lost everything, I thought about throwing her in the pot to keep going and win some back. She laughed it off, but it became something of a running joke that whenever I come back from a poker game she'd ask if I'd had to bet her this month, or if I'd managed to keep hold of some money.
I don't know how it happened, but one night in bed Louise admitted that although it was corny, she found the idea of being the prize in a poker game quite a turn on, even though she wasn't sure she actually wanted to go through with it. We roleplayed it a few times, with me pretending to be a gambler who'd beaten her loser husband and now could do whatever I wanted, and Louise got really into it. I started to think of ways we could push the envelope a bit, and take it to the next level.
I asked Louise if she'd be willing for me to set up a scenario where I'd agree with one of the guys beforehand that towards the end of the night, if I was low on cash and it was just the two of us still in, I'd jokingly wager Louise's services – to cook him dinner or something, so as not to arouse suspicion – and he'd fold straight away so nothing would come of it. Louise would be 'in the pot' for a while with little risk, and everyone could laugh it off as a joke apart from me and Louise. I explained this to Louise and she seemed to think it was a good idea, and I said I'd set it up for the next time the guys were at ours.
We both agreed Dan could be our 'third' in the scenario. We've both known Dan for years and felt he'd be OK with it. I didn't tell him Louise was in on it, I said I wanted to play a trick on her when the game was at mine. I laid out the scenario, about how if and when I offer Louise into the pot, he should laugh, Louise would pretend to be shocked, then he folds. Everyone goes home happy, me and Louise fuck like rabbits.
The night of the game arrived, and the game started as it normally did. Louise was a slightly more attentive host than she had been in the past, getting snacks and ******, and just generally being within earshot. I was being a bit more reckless than usual, playing to lose, or at least put myself in a head-to-head situation with Dan. I don't think anyone else suspected anything, and a couple of hours in I found myself with few chips left, and three three nines in my hand – not a stellar hand, but good enough that if the plan didn't work and the other guys didn't fold I could still try and bluff my way out. I caught Dan's eye and he realised the plan was on. It took nearly all my chips, but between us we managed to scare the other guys into folding, and it was just the two of us.
Dan raised the pot thirty bucks. I looked at my chips and I only had ten left. This was it, now or never. I put my best pained expression on and explained I couldn't cover the bet. Dan told me I'd have to fold and made to scoop up the pot, when I stopped him and said I had another idea.
"How about I throw in Lou?" I said. Dan tried to look surprised. Chris and Scott laughed nervously, while Louise was fake-outraged. I played my part well, showing her how much money I stood to win, and showed her the cards to fake-placate her. She fake-begrudgingly accepted my premise and said she was OK with it. Everyone looked at Dan.
"Show me what you've got, then." He smirked.

This wasn't the plan. Dan should have folded. He'd played me, and there was no way out but to hope I'd actually won.
I laid my cards down. "Three nines" I said, with as much confidence I could muster. Everyone around the table looked at Dan. Louise hovered nervously.
Dan put down three sevens, and I let out a genuine sigh of relief. Louise backed away and Chris and Scott laughed with relief. I went to scoop the pot, but Dan stopped me.
"Hang on" he said, as he laid down his last two cards. Two fours.
"Full house" he said with a smile.
I was speechless. Scott and Chris glanced at each other nervously. I didn't dare look at Louise.
Dan scooped his winnings into a pile, which was now significantly bigger than everyone else's, and looked at Louise. "So, looks like you're my girlfriend now," he grinned. Louise did not look happy. "You don't seriously think..." she started before Dan cut her off. "Mike put your hand in the pot, with your agreement, and lost you. It's just a bit of fun for the rest of the night. Now, be a good girlfriend and go get my friends and me another round". Louise seemed to brighten slightly, but still retreated angrily to the kitchen.
While she was gone Chris started dealing the next round. It was then I realised I was completely out of money – I had no way of winning Louise back, even if I wanted to. I offered up another fifty to try and buy my way back into the pot, but Dan refused, saying that wasn't how we played. If you're out, you're out, and there was nothing I could do about it. I just had to sit and watch now. Dan assured me he wasn't going to do anything dumb, just have a little fun with Louise. The other three played the hand and Louise returned from the kitchen with a tray of beers. She placed them down on the table and, noticing I was not playing came to stand behind me. She went to drape her arms around me shoulders. Dan stopped her.
"What are you doing? You're my girlfriend tonight. Come over here and stand with me." With a sigh, Louise stood up and walked behind Dan. She stood there with her arms folded. Dan turned around to look at her. "That's not what you were doing to him" he said, and with an eye roll Louise draped her arms loosely over his shoulders.
The games continued as I sat there, nursing a beer. I wasn't really paying attention anymore, the cards and money were moving around the table, but I was just looking at Louise. Her expression was softening somewhat, but she was still far from happy. Eventually, Dan spoke again.
"I can't believe you actually bet your girlfriend, Mike. It's like something you see in terrible films. 'I'm out, but take my girl'. It's ridiculous". He was goading me, and he knew it. He continued, this time to Louise. "I can't believe you went along with it. Why on earth did you agree to it?"
I let out an involuntary snort of laughter
"Problem, Mike?" asked Scott.
Having not been playing for a while, I was maybe a few too many beers in, and blurted out "It was her idea!"
"It was not!" Louise fired back out of embarrassment and anger
"Yes it was!" I countered. "You ask me every time I come back from a boys night about this exact thing. Now I've gone through with it, you can't be pissed at me." I sat back defiantly; arms crossed.
Chris shifted in his chair. Scott coughed nervously.
Dan turned to Louise and asked theatrically, "You mean, you wanted him to lose you in a poker game...?"
Louise stood upright, now crimson with shame. "No!"
"Yes she did!" I spat grumpily
All eyes fell on Louise. All thoughts of cards were forgotten. There was a long pause.
"Louise...?" Dan asked with raised eyebrows
"No!" she started, before pausing. "Well... I.... Look, I don't know. Not like this! No!"
She was convincing no-one. Another long pause.
"I... I don't know" she continued sheepishly "We've... spoken about it, but not to actually do it..."
"You mean...?" Dan started
"She gets off on the idea of being a prize in a poker game!" I said, defiantly
An awkward hush descended on the room. Louise looked at the floor and uneasily shifted from foot to foot. No-one knew quite what to do next. Chris broke the tension.
"Who's in for the next hand?" He asked as he picked the cards up
