“Oh, may I get you anything?”
“Pineapple juice?”
“I will be back in a moment.”
“Thank you.”
Cabree opened the wrap dress and set it to one side, settling back on the comfortable cushion and smiling as the sun caressed her skin.She groaned and heard a chuckle.She opened her eyes and took the pineapple juice.“Thank you.Sorry.I have been working for years without a break.This is my first vacation, and I just want to get warm.”
He smiled.“Enjoy it, miss.”
He left her, and she sipped at her juice until the glass was empty, and then she surrendered to the light and nodded off.She would turn over around noon, and that was her only plan for today.
She walked toward the vehicles, and instead of the sweaty men in bright shirts, a man in a dark grey shirt stepped toward her.“Madam Cabree?”
“Yes?”
“I have a private vehicle to take you to the casino.”
“Oh, is there a reason?”
“You do not look like the kind of woman who uses sweaty public transit.”
She grinned.“I do not.Your name?”
“Cavel.”
“Thank you, Cavel.”
He offered her his arm, and she took it.He jolted and inhaled sharply.“You are an active.”
“Oh, can you see me glowing?It isn’t normally visible until after sunset.”
“No, ma’am.I am an analyzer.”
“Oh, that must have been confusing for you.”
“It isn’t one I have met before.You are unique.”
“That’s a word for it.I am really enjoying the warmth of the islands and the cruise.”
He walked her to a silver classic car and opened the door for her.She slid in, and he got behind the wheel.“We will be at the private entrance in ten minutes.”
“Oh, good.I have never been in a casino before.”
“You don’t chase luck?”
“No.I work for it.”
He glanced at her and grinned.“Interesting idea.”
She shrugged.“It’s all I know.”
When they arrived, Cabree waited, and Cavel opened her door and offered her his arm.She slid her hand to the crook of his elbow, and they entered the heavily guarded private entrance, where soft classical music played, and the shadows looked soft and comfortable.
“The owner would like to meet you.”
“Of course he would.”She snorted and walked with him to an alcove where two women were visible, writhing against the central figure.
