“His assistant, Eden, spoke to Luci. She extended an invitation to a party he’s throwing in his villa. Luci didn’t like the feel of her. But you know Luci; she doesn’t like a lot of people and errs on the side of caution when it comes to me.”

That was Luci in a nutshell.

“You should listen to Luci.”

“That bad?” She scrunched her nose.

Way, way worse than ‘that bad.’

But I wasn’t at liberty to say how bad it was.

“Just, promise me you’ll listen to Luci.”

Diana was a tall, leggy model with blue eyes. When she wasn’t putting on the Ditzy Diana act she was a sweet, girl-next-door type. Just the type Martin would love to get his nasty hands on.

“Okay, Atlee, I promise,” she gently returned.

“How about a massage and private yoga class before tonight’s game?” I changed the subject.

“Yes. Please. That sounds amazing.”

“Good. I’ll set it up and schedule Luci a facial during your class.”

“She would love that.” Diane stepped forward then launched herself at me, wrapping her arms around me in a hug. “You always take such good care of us. I think you’re the only thing I’m gonna miss about Vegas.”

I hugged her back and murmured, “You know just because I’m not sending the PJ to pick you up and being an all-around great casino host doesn’t mean you can’t call me. I can leave Vegas to come visit you.”

Diana pulled away just enough to look me in the eye.

“You’d come to the ranch and visit me?”

“Hell yeah. Though don’t think you’re gonna get me in that torture chamber you call a gym. It takes work keeping this body out of shape and soft, I can’t go ruining it with exercise.”

“Promise you’ll visit.”

“If you promise me you and Luci will stay as far away from Mr. Jackson and his associates as you can. And if they give you any trouble you’ll call security and keep Brad and Tony close.”

Diana’s eyes widened.

“He’s shady,” she whispered.

Shady didn’t begin to describe Martin but still I nodded.

“Why are people such dicks?” she asked as she broke our embrace.

“That’s a question for the ages. I’ll text you when your appointments are scheduled. You’re at the table at ten, right?”

“Yeah,” she sighed. “I need two hours to get into my Ditzy Diana getup.”

“Tonight, it’s your Dolly getup. Go big, sister, and run the table.”

I got another big, bright smile before she winked.

“I think I will. One last show for the assholes who think they’re better than me.”

I knew better than to wish Diana good luck. She, like most players, was superstitious.

After another hug I left Di’s villa, then contacted my other clients before I set up Di and Luci’s en suite massages.
