Every loser wins

Lord Carington Worthly-Smythe had been born to a life of wealth and privilege, his every need met. Every need except one, excitement. As the heir to a great estate he was not allowed to risk his life seeking adventure or risk his reputation seeking romance. Instead he had to find other ways to fill his day. He soon found what he was looking for at the gaming tables. He became a legend in the exclusive gambling houses of Mayfair wining and losing fortunes on the turn of a card. He seemed to live a charmed life but eventually even his luck and money ran out. When the croupier announced that the house would no longer be extending his credit he pleaded to be allowed just one more chance. He didn’t even care about the money he just needed the thrill to go on. Anything to escape the tedium of his life for just a little longer, anything for the adventure to continue.
They took him to a private room and sat him at a card table across the green base a young woman sat, her slim fingers shuffling the cards with practised skill.
“Here’s the deal” she explained as she dealt the cards “One game, winner takes all. You win we erase your debt and extend your credit, you continue as you have been. I win and we take everything you have left down to the shirt on your back. You walk out of here and never come back, agreed?”
Carington nods swallowing hard, the highest stakes but the way his heart pounded and adrenaline surged made him feel more alive than ever, he had to take the risk. He turned his cards and slumped in defeat he had lost everything even worse it seemed he could never try to win it back. 
He stumbled out into the grey dawn light blinking and unsteady. True to their word the house had taken the shirt of his back and more besides even his body wasn’t his own the woman he had played against had taken his leaving him in her body. He looked down at the full breasts swinging from his chest as the cool air made his nipples hard and couldn’t help smiling.
“Now this is an adventure” He said and set off the see where it would take him.
