area of protection for major corporations as well as small businesses. It was nice to know that this man was still protective over hotel guests. Hackers grew savvier each day and, once they compromised guest information, they exposed the economic structure to frequent attacks within a wireless world. Everyone was at risk but most people didn’t understand how large the problem was; the corruption of international securities and investments could collapse governments. Within the last fifteen years several countries had been victim. In order to be an effective opponent against the deep Internet, knowledge was the power to be gained and exchanged. This was Falcon’s area of expertise and was the purpose for this trip. Paige was an added bonus.
    Since the Securities Trade shows was what brought him to Vegas, his plan was to gain exposure and represent MarSin Falcon to potential clients. If there were anything groundbreaking to be presented at the show, he would educate himself on the new technology. It was supposed to be a business trip, pure and simple, but when he made his reservations the clerk also mentioned that a real estate convention was being held there at the same time. Somewhere in the back of his mind he remembered that Paige was in the field. He didn’t seriously consider that their paths would cross but last night, when he spotted her, his mood lifted considerably. He could blame it on that little yellow dress because the last time he saw her she was wrapped in layers against the mountain’s winter cold. He thought she might be pissed at him, and with good reason. He hadn’t kept in touch with her like he promised. Business had kept him so damn busy that time slipped away. It wasn’t an excuse but a reason. If his plan worked out, hopefully he’d get to spend some time with her
    “Here you go, sir.” The security officer handed him a piece of paper with Paige’s room number and telephone extension.
    “Thanks, man. I appreciate it.” Falcon extended his arm to shake the man’s hand and gave him a few business cards. “Give me a call if you guys need a consult. I know you have the latest and greatest, but it never hurts to hear about what’s out there from another point of view.” He tucked the paper inside the pocket of his jacket and had nearly reached the door when the blonde cleared her throat to get his attention. She had waited until the other man disappeared into his office before approaching Falcon. Rolling her chair from behind the desk, she crossed her long legs in a seductive manner, giving him a glimpse of what hid beneath her skirt. She ran her finger down her throat and gave him a hungry look.
    “If you need anything while you’re here, sir, give me a call.”
    When she stood, the skirt she wore barely covered her ass. She walked up to him, and slipped a business card in his hand.
    “My numbers on the back. Call me if you need some company. I’ll make sure you have a good time.”
    Amused, he placed the card in his pocket and smiled back at her. “I’ll keep that in mind.”
     

     
    H e positioned himself on the casino floor, right across from the elevators. If Paige left the hotel she’d have to pass him by. Until that time, he’d throw a little money in the slots. He’d been having a run of good luck since he saw Paige last night.
    Maybe it was another sign.
    He was about to play his last hand when he thought he saw a dash of yellow. Could that be her? He swiveled in his chair but was blocked by a cocktail waitress.
    “What can I get for you, sir?” She ignored his sudden agitation and smiled sweetly If he had tried to get up he would have knocked the poor woman to the floor. She expertly balanced her tray while standing on stilettos, and his eyes were nearly level with her chest. Her breasts were definitely attention grabbers but if he moved too quickly she could knock him over with them.
    “I was just about to leave.” He looked around the waitress to see Paige, but she
