couldn’t
help smiling back in capitulation at her oldest friend. Pamela
could talk her into almost anything and tonight was no different.
One moment Lily had been feeling down on the dumps but then Pamela
called and told her she was coming over to take Lily out on a night
on the town.
    “One of my
biggest clients is interested in hiring me and a friend for an
evening of fun. I thought of you and how you’ve been too busy to
really relax since you got that new job in the law firm,” was how
Pamela had brought up the idea. “I know you don’t normally do this
but you’ve been complaining all week about how dull your life is
getting. So I’m thinking this would be the perfect chance for you
to enjoy some excitement with no strings attached.”
    Lily had been
dubious at first. She knew the kind of work Pamela did in her spare
time and though Lily would never judge, she couldn’t help thinking
that such an exciting lifestyle had to have its drawbacks. There
was always that sense of danger. A sense of the unknown and it
frightened her a little. What of the men weren’t who they claimed
to be?
    Pamela took
time in assuring her that every client was screened thoroughly
before being provided services from the agency Pamela worked with.
So Lily had nothing to worry about. Right?
    It took only
minutes for both ladies to be let through the long line waiting in
front of the exclusive club’s entrance.
    Lily found her
heart pounding in anticipation when she entered the state of the
art interior. The lights, music and décor were a perfect setting to
raise her excitement as Lily clutched harder on her purse, staring
around the place.
    “This way,”
Pamela, who’d been to the club before, guided Lily through the
crowd of snazzily dressed clubbers to the VIP section of the
ultra-modern club. Lily had never been to a place like this before
and she felt the atmosphere cut through her like a high-grade drug.
She loved the pumping music, the press of the crowd, and the looks
of admiration she got from the men whom she passed by on her way to
the table Pamela was leading her to.
    “Ah, there they
are,” Pamela said in Lily’s ear as they neared the table where two
men were seated. Pamela had met the client before as they’d had a
past appointment. His friend and business associate would be with
him and that was why a second escort, Lily was needed.
    Lily hadn’t let
herself wonder about who she’d be meeting tonight. She had absolute
trust in Pamela not to get her involved in anything she’d be
uncomfortable with. So Lily had a ready smile on her face as she
walked up to the table, lifting a hand to tuck a wayward curl
behind her ear.
    The two men
stood once they caught sight of Pamela and Lily. Lily’s curiosity
had her fixing her gaze squarely on the two well-dressed gents. Her
eyes caught with a familiar, dark-haired face and her steps
faltered.
    She saw the
same look of recognition dawn on his face to mix in with his manly
appraisal. He seemed to blink as if in stark disbelief, and Lily
couldn’t say she blamed him. She was in total shock herself.
    Maxwell Craig.
Here.
    Those thoughts
registered and Lily almost wanted to turn and dash from the
vicinity. Maxwell’s eyes narrowed and then he schooled his features
into a detached expression. Before Lily could even think of
escaping, Pamela was introducing them.
    “Hello,
Vincent. I’d like you to meet Liliana. She’ll be joining us
tonight.”
    “Perfect.
Hello, Liliana. My name’s Vincent Price and this is Maxwell Craig
my good friend,” said the handsome, young and slightly balding man
who’d arranged for the two women to join him and his friend that
evening.
    “Hello,
Liliana. Nice to meet you,” Maxwell Craig said coolly, showing no
signs of recognition as he took his hand in hers. Working on
autopilot, Lily could do nothing but stand there still as a statue
as she felt Maxwell’s gaze run over her from head to foot. “I must
say this is a pleasant
