I looked at Dorian, who smiled and waved a hand toward the door. “Ladies first.”
I nodded at his chivalrous gesture and slipped into the limo, taking the long seat on the side while they settled into the row between the doors. As I settled into my seat, I told myself that I could do this. After all, I'd gotten them here. I could close the deal.
I grabbed a bottle of Cristal champagne from the cooler as I answered Enzo's question. “My boss runs one of the most prestigious casinos in all of Las Vegas. The Rock Bay.”
I offered each man a glass and then poured one for myself. I didn't like drinking on the job but being good at this particular brand of hosting meant that I had to make the two men feel at ease. People felt naturally more at ease when their host partook in activities alongside them. So, unless it was something illegal, I had carte blanche to participate.
As long as I didn't let things get out of hand.
I continued, “He heard two VIPs were being treated poorly at the competition and sent me to sort it out.”
Dorian looked at me over the top of his champagne glass. I swallowed hard. No person's gaze should be that powerful. It twisted things inside me that I thought had disappeared years ago.
“What does sorting it out entail?” Dorian asked.
I gestured around the limo as I gave myself a mental shake. “Well, first of all, we're getting you out of that awful place and over to somewhere a bit more deserving of your time. Once we're at Rock Bay, whenever you need something you can ask me, and I'll get it for you directly. Shows, reservations, you name it. All complimentary, of course. And no house limits.”
I winked at Enzo with that last statement. He finally grinned. With the smile, he and Dorian looked more alike than before. I made a mental note that both men seemed to respond to light teasing, but Enzo appeared to be more inclined toward flattery and attention.
“Seems like an awful lot of trouble to go through for two people you don't know,” Dorian commented.
I hadn't been mistaken when I pegged him as the intelligent one. He wasn't going to be easily swayed by perks and flattery. He was the sort of man who wanted to know the bottom line.
I told him the truth but gave it to him with the most charming smile I had in my arsenal. “Well, in return, my employer hopes you enjoy your time in Las Vegas at our casino and will think of us the next time you come to stay.”
I might as well have been flirting with a brick wall. He cocked an eyebrow, drank half of his glass down in one gulp, and let out a deep sigh. Enzo looked positively delighted, and I swore I could hear him already making a mental list of everything he intended to do. It wouldn't take us long to get to the casino, so I needed to make sure Dorian was on board and didn't convince his brother to walk away.
“I already have a suite set up for you,” I said, forcing myself to keep my voice easy and light. “I'll arrange to have your things brought over from the Aladdin as you settle in. Are your wives with you? I'd love to set up spa treatments for them while you two get acquainted with our other amenities.”
I watched Dorian's face closely, perhaps closer than necessary. I had to admit that I was a bit curious to see if they'd ask me to replace the young ladies I chased away. I didn't for one moment believe that they hadn't known that the women were pros. What I didn't know was if the men had been responsible for finding their dates for the night, or if it'd been something the hotel had set up.
He glanced at Enzo and then answered, “I'm not married.”
His words sounded like he'd chosen them carefully.
“Yeah, it's just the two of us,” Enzo added smoothly.
The limo pulled up in front of Rock Bay. The driver walked around and opened the door, letting the three of us out. I nodded at him, letting him know I'd keep my promise to call him first for anything to do with the brothers.
“Follow me, please.”
I led the two men through the lobby of the hotel, making sure to keep a steady pace that was slow enough they could appreciate the décor, but not so slow they'd get bored. My palms were sweating by the time we reached the elevators. When the doors closed, I felt like I was truly alone with the two brothers for the first time.
“Is it your first time in Las Vegas?” I asked.
Dorian gave me a sideways look. “Don't you know the answer? You seem to have a lot of them.”
I brushed off his comment with a smile. “I don't actually know that much, but I hope to get to know you both a lot better over the course of your stay.”
I hadn't meant it to come out sounding so sexual, and I immediately blushed when the words registered. Shit. Sometimes, I hated having such a fair complexion. Fortunately, the two of them looked infinitely amused rather than like they thought I was unprofessional.
“Oh, I hope so,” joked Enzo. The leer he gave me had genuine admiration in it, but the edge that would've made me uncomfortable was missing.
Dorian's expression, however, was guarded. “I would count on it, Briana.”
I didn't bother to try to work out what he meant by that. It wasn't my business. My business was to keep the Gianelli brothers happy at Rock Bay. Flirting was one thing, but I wasn't part of the perks. Enzo seemed to get that, but something about what I said had made Dorian react in an odd way.
I shoved the thought aside. If I really wanted to take it out and examine it, I'd do it later. Right now, I needed to get the men settled. My contacts at the Aladdin had told me about Enzo and Dorian's suite there, so I knew this room was much better than the one they'd had before. It was a good thing the Aladdin didn't have rooms quite as ostentatious as ours because the guys were getting the top of the line here.
