from the skirt and not a cocktail dress. He waved for her to come to the bar.
    “Morning Shay, Beth is just finishing a call and will be with you in a minute.” He pointed to the woman who sat at the end of the bar. Would you like a coffee or espresso? I make a mean one.”
    “I believe my nerves are wired enough. Can I take a rain check?”
    Dante smiled. “Anytime, you know where to find me.” He raised his arms to his sides to suggest he was usually at the bar.
    “You know who I am?”
    “Mr. Newark mentioned your name yesterday. He said you were the niece to a potential member and to treat you well. I would have asked for your name when you bumped into me yesterday, but you rushed off.” Dante raised an eyebrow. He definitely planned to treat her well and not just for Mr. Newark’s sake. He’d never met anyone who captivated him the way she did. Dante was certain their attraction was mutual by the way she flirted with him. He knew he had to remain focused for Mr. Newark’s sake; but figured there could be no harm in flirting. In the year he’d been the club’s bartender Dante gained Rick’s respect and trust. He’d worked too hard to destroy that.
    “I had to get ready for the big interview. You never mentioned your name either.” Shay hesitated and then continued, “About that bump yesterday...I am sorry. My mind was elsewhere.”
    He laughed. “On that bedside backup” He noticed her blush a little. “That wasn’t meant to be a wisecrack.”
    “No worries. If I remember correctly, I made the first pun about it yesterday. I’m new to the city and just a little weary.”
    He reached across the bar and placed his hand on top of hers. “A wise buy, but have you ever used a gun?” She seemed naïve and nervous. He wondered if she came from a small town.
    “I have. My dad and brother like to hunt. I don’t, but I’ve been to the range with them.”
    “Then I will have to introduce you to the best range in Seattle. I’m Dante, by the way.” He held out his hand as he introduced himself.

    Before she could answer him, Shay noticed the woman Dante pointed out as Beth, had finished her call. Shay stood up from the barstool. Beth’s straight blonde hair barely touched her shoulders. She walked elegantly in her black business suit. Shay wondered if Beth worked out or just naturally blessed with great legs. As she approached, Shay noticed her emerald eyes sparkled. She knew the young woman was Beth Mills from the picture Renee gave her.
    Shay stood up from the barstool.
    “Shay Dunbar” Beth queried.
    Shay nodded. “Yes.”
    “I’m Mr. Newark’s personal assistant. My name is Beth Mills. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Dunbar. If you will follow me please, there are a few forms to fill out and then I will give you the grand tour.”
    Shay fixed her eyes on Dante for a quick moment before she followed Beth. He gave her a thumbs-up but it wasn’t his approval that fascinated her. His magnetic gaze pulled her into his dreamy eyes. She fought the urge to stay with him but she knew she had a job to do.
    Beth pressed the fifth floor button once inside the elevator and turned to Shay. “Mr. Newark prefers to have his offices at the top. The view is spectacular, I can’t argue that.” Beth pushed the glass doors open and held them for Shay. An exquisite mahogany desk sat in the center of the room with an attractive blonde manning the switchboard. Shay made a mental note that Rick seemed to only hire highly attractive, young employees. The girl had to be no more than twenty-one-years old, if that.
    “Welcome to the Business Associates Reserved Establishment, Shay. I’m Rachel. If there is anything you need, have Dante page me and I will come downstairs. The forms you requested, Beth, are on the conference table.” She may have been young but Shay gathered she’d been well-educated and her appearance cried out wealth.
    “Thank you Rachel,” Shay said politely.
