“Desperate ti to this new sche to te too deep

“What exactly do you want to do? Get up onstage?” His eyes rolled over rin “I could ith that”

I crossed my arms over my chest and narrowedRace in the ribs as he muttered, “Told ya,” out of the corner of his mouth

“No, I don’t want to dance I told Titus that wouldn’t be part of it Can’t you put ?” I didn’t ask about cocktail serving because even those girls had to work topless, and while I wasn’t shy, I wasn’t okay with havingdistance of drunken hands

“There isn’t roo naked onstage The cop would have a fit if he knew you werearound with dirty money”

Both Race and Nassir looked so suave, so clean cut, that it was easy to forget they had their hands on piles and piles of illegal cash froround All that dirty h the bar at a strip club was obviously a no-brainer

Race agreed and then grinned atyourself a new club and always co about how you don’t want to be here?

“Keelyn” Nassir and I barked the woman’s real name at the same time and eyes that were the color of spiced cider switched from annoyed to speculative

“What do youto value?”

I lifted a shoulder and let it fall “You hire the prettiest girls you can find You give theree of security they wouldn’t have out on the street, but they are still getting naked for strangers and that can be de Class the joint up Get rid of the pink everywhere It’s gaudy Make this place feel expensive and hile and the girls won’t just work here, they’ll own it Plus you can chargein a better class of loser This place feels like a throwback to harder tiain because he wasn’t stupid and knew exactly what I was talking about “You need to breathe new life into this place just like you’re trying to do with Novak’s other old businesses”

Nassir e I didn’t understand but it sounded exotic and sexy No wonder Key ran Having all that s intensity and sexy appeal focused solely on her had to be nearly impossible to resist

“You think a new coat of paint and some new decor would have kept Key here?” He sounded skeptical

“No I think she had to go so when she coain That’s a hard pill to s I think if she knew she was otten a lot further with her”
