Clive immediately took notice when Jazzy moved closer to him and his felt his pulse quicken when she reached out and gently ran her finger along his jaw line. He kept his eyes with hers the whole time, smiling confidently at her. He knew the kind of men that a girl like Jazzy was interested in. Bums and ordinary Joe Schmoes off the street didn’t stand a chance. Hell, even artists and smooth-talkers weren’t in her league. No… Jazzy liked a man with power. A guy who knew what he wanted and was able to get it in a heartbeat. It wasn’t arrogance when he knew that he met those qualifications. His name was frequently brought up around town, he owned the hottest club in Chicago, and he had ties to the mob. Everyone in the city knew who Clive Baxter was by now, and perhaps Jazzy saw an opportunity there to get something she wanted and needed. At this point, Clive knew one thing… before Miss Malone was done singing at the Blood Red Moon Saloon he was going to find a way to go to bed with her.
She expressed one major concern with the room: She wanted a lock on the door. People knew her name too, and men would go to great lengths to get near a woman as beautiful as Jazzelle Malone. But the way she asked him…wanting him to “keep her safe”…it brought about an age old instinct in him. He wanted to protect his woman. Of course, she wasn’t technically his woman, but she was going to be the star of his club and he needed to protect his investment. Never had an investment looked so sexy. “Of course, doll. I’ll have that taken care of first thing tomorrow morning. I want you to feel safe here.” Jazzy took her fur back from him and smiled. He watched as she put it back around her shoulders. She was staying at the Hotel Sherman downtown. He knew this now because she told him. Jazzy Malone wanted him to know where she was staying. Clive’s heart pounded in his chest as he divulged this information, knowing he was certainly going to put it to good use very soon.
She mentioned his eyes and how blue complimented them. He grinned at her and nodded. “Thank you, Jazzy. That’s a hell of a thing to hear from a lady who looks as exquisite as you do.” Clive knew some girls that might be interested in the job that Jazzy required. He would do his best to find the perfect girl. But out of nowhere a man burst into the room and interrupted their conversation to further illustrate the need for a lock. It was Michael Bronx, one of his bouncers, warning him of some trouble downstairs. Clive knew that Michael was just trying to do his job, but he didn’t appreciate him refusing to knock on the door first. “We’ve apparently got trouble up here too, ya jackass. Why can’t you knock? Can’t you see I’m busy here having a completely professional business discussion with Miss Malone?”
Clive stepped forward and knocked off Michael’s hat with the back of his hand, getting in his face. Bronx backed down immediately and apologized. “Get your ass back downstairs and diffuse the situation. I’ll be there in a minute.” Bronx agreed and ran back downstairs to take care of it. Clive shook his head and turned back towards Miss Malone. “I’m sorry about that, Jazzy. Not too many guys in this town have class. How about I walk you back downstairs? I’ve got a situation I apparently need to tend to.” He smiled at her and gently placed his hand on her lower back, leading her out of the dressing room and towards the staircase. He offered her his arm once more and carefully guided her back downstairs and into the noisy bar area.
“Friday night is tomorrow, Jazzy. Does that work for you or would you like another week to prepare?” He didn’t wasn’t to rush her, but Clive was anxious to see her singing in his club. He was excited at the very idea of being around her on a semi-regular basis. They stepped outside into the cool Chicago night air and Clive called a taxi over for her, telling the driver to take her back to the Sherman Hotel safely. Clive turned back towards Jazzy and smiled. “I want you to know how much I appreciate doing business with you, darling. It’s truly an honor to know people will be able to hear your beautiful voice in my club.” Casually Clive slipped $600 in bills into her purse, not allowing anyone else to see. “Consider it a signing bonus, Miss Malone. I’ll be sure to take good care of you as long as you’re here.” He looked into her eyes and took her hand once more, gently kissing the top of it.
