up into a bright
blue fauxhawk.
    Raoul might have dressed like he
was about to run away and join Circ du Soleil, but he was damn good at what he
did and she knew she was lucky to have his personal attentions. On top of his
skill and flair, he also happened to be a really nice guy. Cash smiled as he
wrapped his long tan limbs around her and pressed his full lips to her cheek in
an exuberant greeting. “Who is that hunk of burning love over there?” He
murmured the question in her ear, a conspiratorial whisper from one lover of
men to another.
    “That's Miles, he's the new
security guy.”
    “Oh he's cute,” Raoul said, his
exotic dark eyes gleaming with approval as he straightened and gave Miles a coy
finger wave over Cash's shoulder. “In a stick up his butt sort of way,” he added.
“Let me guess, ex-military?”
    Cash's eyes widened in surprise.
“How did you know?”
    “I have an eye for these things,
baby girl,” Raoul said. “It's in the way he moves, they all move the same. And
they all... mmmm... never mind.” He let the lascivious sound trail off. “All I
can say is, you better watch yourself around him. Those types have a way of
getting under your skin – and I guarantee you he's into some kinky shit,” Raoul
added, twirling long fingers in the air, “those ex-military types all are.”
    Cash grinned. “He has mentioned
spanking...”
    “Mm hmm,” Raoul nodded, his head
bobbing up and down with exaggerated flair. “Girl, you better be careful. Now,
we have some work to do.”
    “Yes we do,” Cash agreed quickly.
Raoul could switch between girlfriend and drill sergeant in a second. His
flamboyant personality didn't stop him from being a grueling taskmaster when he
wanted to be, and she knew better than to raise any objection as he put his
large hands on her shoulders and steered her toward the studio.
    An hour later, the suite was
filling up with people, music was pounding and Raoul was coaching her through
one of their newer routines. Cash was aware of Miles' presence in the room,
which was strange because she was used to being surrounded by people and ignoring
them all when she was trying to concentrate. Most of the entourage faded to a
blur with the music, but for one tall, strong form standing far across the
suite.
    “Girl, you need to pay attention,
that's the third time you've missed that switch,” Raoul said, snapping his
fingers in her face.
    Cash tried again and again, but
when she flubbed the step for the fifth time, Raoul had clearly had enough. He
minced out of the studio and made his way over to Miles, who seemed surprised
to see him coming. Cash followed out of a sense of curiosity and to help Raoul
if he got himself into trouble. She soon wished she hadn't.
    “Excuse me, Mr. Security Man? Mm
hmm, yes, you honey,” Raoul drawled as Miles looked at him with clear surprise.
“I'm going to need you to step outside, or into another room or anywhere you
won't be such a powerful distraction to miss thing here.”
    Miles looked at Cash and Cash could
have happily disappeared through the floor. “I'm sorry?”
    “Can you do your security thing
somewhere else? Anywhere not in her sight line, she can't keep her eyes off
you, honey,” Raoul trilled.
    Cash's face burned with
embarrassment. She didn't know where to look. Miles cleared his throat. “I'll
be nearby if you need me.”
    “Thank you, darling,” Raoul
trilled, waving fingers in the air as Miles departed. “Well he's a gentleman,
isn't he?”
    “I'm going to kill you,” Cash
muttered.
    “If you don't get this routine
right, you sure will,” Raoul agreed, clutching a palm to his chest. “Imma die
of a broken heart if you don't get this. Now let's do it already.”

    Miles wasn't quite sure how to take
what was happening in front of his face. Cash Raine was adorable. Overworked,
but still adorable - and she obviously had a crush on him. Miles wasn't one of
those clueless men who didn't know when a woman
