“Your woman is working the room, this Coke deal has her walking on the moon.  Good for Dane.”  Sam said raising her glass and Lara smiled nodding her head loving how Dana was finally comfortable with herself.  She, on the other hand,was not as comfortable with herself at the moment, she was on edge.  She was waiting for the other shoe to drop.

            “It’s great.  I am sort of worn out from talking up a storm, so I thought I’d give it a rest….”  Lara said with an air of aloofness Sam laughed softly.

            “Well, if it isn’t the Islands hottest couple.”  Richard said from Lara‘s elbow and Sam‘s face dropped, she took a quick swig of her drink and stood at her full height.  There was the other shoe or rather boot, a size 13 from the looks of it.

            “Richard, I didn’t know you were a *****.”  Sam said seriously Lara almost spit out her drink she coughed and recovered.  She wiped her mouth and Richard raised an eyebrow, Shane making her way closer to get the low down on the sudden chemistry between Sam and Lara.  Then there was the man that had obviously made Lara almost choke things were getting interesting.

            “I do love women.  Interesting that you know each other outside of the Island.”  Richard said his eyes filled with evil as he spoke.

            “Richard mention that word again and I shall have your balls on the whipping mount I spoke of before, are we clear?”  Sam threatened her grey eyes darted around, not seeing Dana, thank the goddess she thought.  She had to get Richard out of here, and she had to do it quick.

            “Of course m’Lady I just didn’t know you and Lara were a couple outside of… Our community I’m sure it was a thrill to have bought her for two weeks of her service….”  Sam cut him off she grabbed his arm and led him out onto the balcony, shoving him roughly enough to make him stumbled.  Lara hot on her heels having abandoned her drink.  This guy was ***** with them, right?  

            “Richard you are going over the side and onto the street shut the ***** up!  What happens on the Island stays on the Island.”  Sam threatened again and he chuckled wickedly.  “What do you want?”  Sam asked knowing that this was going somewhere.  If he wanted money, he was going to get it, anything to keep him quiet.
