details.”
    “I have to a confession to make,” Antonio said with a serious look on his face.
    “Yes.” She bit the inside of her cheek in confusion. After the crazy day, she had she braced herself for anything.
    “I own the company. You don’t need to contact them.” He handed her a blue business card with white lettering. Antonio’s name was listed name as the CEO. “After I left the Corps, this was something I decided to invest in.”
    Her mouth dropped. “Then what was all of this about?”
    “I conduct all of my interviews to make sure I’m dealing with a legit company. My employees are not some club bouncers. They are more on the line of body guards. Even though I have it in black and white on my website, people still try to hire us for their clubs anyway. With a name like The Playhouse, I had to be sure.” A sly grin spread across his face. “Besides, what man in his right mind would pass up an opportunity to meet with the owner of a business like this? I do fill in for my workers from time to time as well.”
    Emily opened her mouth to speak, but she heard movement on the stairs.
    A strawberry blond poked her head in the room. Her eyes were glued to Antonio. “Mercedes, I’m gone. Don’t forget I won’t be back for a few weeks. I’m going to visit my mom in Canada.”
    Emily looked at her watch. An hour had past while she had been interviewing Antonio. “I have you marked down. Enjoy your vacation, Sapphire.”
    Sapphire nodded and continued on her way.
    Emily turned her attention back to Antonio. “So, Mr. Owner, do you have any questions for me?”
    “How often are the girls here?”
    “Around the clock. Up until now my sister Keisha and I have pulled watch. There are certain girls I’m okay allowing in my home alone. I started out with just doing eight to midnight during the week day and closing my door at three on the weekend, but with this being an online business, everyone’s in different time zones. There is no such thing as not having someone online.” She took a drink of water. “And my club will be open soon.”
    Antonio nodded. “And what are your expectations for my company?”
    “I’ll need twenty-four hour security here, and once the club is open, I’ll need two or three guys for normal club hours.” She tapped her hands on her notepad. “I used to work in a small building as a lingerie model a few years ago. They didn’t have security. One night, they were robbed and held at gunpoint. Thankfully, I was off that evening. The area wasn’t the best, but things can happen anywhere. I want my girls safe. I thought living in a residential area would be safer, but as business started growing I’m no longer sure.”
    His hazel eyes looked deep within her, making Emily wonder what was going through his head. “Can I get a tour?” he asked.
    How could she have forgotten? “Of course. Let’s start upstairs.”
    She led him up to her office to view the cameras.
    He eyed the monitors. “This is a nice setup.”
    “It covers three rooms on this level and three more in the basement. Monitors two, three, and five are all the online models.” Her pride came through in her smile.
    “Now I’m impressed. Mrs. Washington, my company will have no problem providing security for you.”
    She blushed at his formality. “Good.”
    “I’ll email you my standard contract and any more questions if I have them. If you’ll excuse me, I have to get to another appointment. Time seems to have gotten away from me.”
    Emily led him back downstairs to the door. “I’ll give you a call once I’ve reviewed the contract.”
    “I look forward to hearing from you. Enjoy the rest of your day.”
    She closed the door behind him and leaned up against it, this time not in frustration. To her surprise, her heart rate increased. The slight contact her arm made against his as she held the door had given her goose bumps. Though she was in the adult industry, it had been over a year since anything
