When I returned to the floor, I looked around the club for the man in the black, but I didn’t see him. I was startled when a deep and sexy voice said, “Miss Kitty, right?”

I spun around; it was the guy and he looked even better up close. He had the most piercing eyes. “That’s me.”

“I enjoyed watching you dance,” he said.

“Thanks. You a friend of Bruce Bruce?” I asked.

“I guess you could say that.”

“I haven’t seen you here before,” I said and stepped closer. “So I guess you’re part of The One’s entourage.”

He flashed a smile and I got wet. “Not exactly. I own the company that manages The One.”

“Oh really,” I said, knowing that this was somebody I needed to know.

“You ready to go, Black?” the other guy he was with said.

“Yeah, in a minute, Freeze,” he said and turned to me.

“Miss Kitty, it was a pleasure meeting you. Maybe I’ll see you again.”

“Jada.”

“Excuse me.”

“Jada. My name is Jada.”

“Okay, Jada it is then. Maybe I’ll come back to see you. Bruce Bruce speaks very highly of you. I’d be interested to see why,” he said and started to walk away.

Since he’d already seen me dance I assumed that he meant something else. The way he looked; the way that sexy voice rang in my ear, I was ready to forget about this money and go anywhere he wanted. I grabbed his arm. “What’s your name?” I had to know.

“Mike Black.”

And just like that he was gone.

I kept looking toward the VIP room where the real money was. I knew it was time for Miss Kitty to take the stage. I looked around at the tired ass dancers who didn’t make it into the VIP room and knew I’d have the room chanting my name again, soon enough.

When I got onstage, I went into my act. I was gyrating my hips and did a split. When I eased out of it was when I noticed him.
