few words with her ex about the whores. She thinks he may know something."
"I doubt that! There’s no way he wants to piss her off. The last time nearly cost him his kingdom," Kali laughed. "And to think she gave up Adam for him."
"Did you ever meet that guy?"
When Kali shook her head no, Agra put her arm around her friend's shoulders and started for the door.
"Well, let me tell you about him. He may have been good looking but when it came to charisma..."
CHAPTER 9
W HEN DAKOTA and Yemaya walked into the bar, several women turned to stare at them. Tall and dark, Yemaya looked every bit the seductress in her leather jeans and burgundy silk blouse. Like a panther, comfortable in her skin, she seemed to flow across the floor. Dakota was the perfect balance to Yemaya's darkness with her own golden aura. Blonde hair and standing several inches shorter than the Illusionist, she was dressed in designer jeans, a coral colored tank top and a black nylon windbreaker trimmed in a bright floral pattern. Her quick, bouncy steps foretold of the hidden energies burning vibrantly inside.
"What do you think?" Dakota asked.
Laughing, Yemaya shook her head.
"We just arrived. Give me time to look around."
"Aw come on. You have great instincts. At least admit it's coo-el looking inside."
"Okay. It is coo-el looking. Now, why not let me get our drinks and you pick out a table. Then we can discuss the ambiance of the place."
"Sure. I'll just be over there in the corner. I know how you like to people watch."
Leaning down, Yemaya gave her a quick kiss on the lips and then ruffled her hair.
"Thanks. See you in a few."
Lilith had seen the two women enter the club and immediately knew their souls were forever linked. The energy between them was so finely interwoven it would be almost impossible to separate the strands... almost. Recognizing Yemaya from her pictures in the magazines, she had to admit the Illusionist was extraordinarily beautiful. More important though, her life force was unusually strong. Had she not known who she was, Lilith would still have sensed her presence and the darkness within, something very familiar to her. She hadn’t felt that in a long time. As she watched the two women separate, she signaled to Agra to serve the Illusionist. Once she had the drinks and made it back to Dakota's table, the club owner decided to introduce herself to her newest customer.
"Good evening, Dakota. It's nice to have you back."
"Lilith! Thanks. Yemaya, this is the owner of the club. She likes to meet all of her clientele, a very old fashion concept, wouldn't you say?" Dakota teased.
"A good business practice," Yemaya commented, noticing the woman's sparkling black eyes. "Nice to meet you, Lilith."
"And you, Yemaya. I hope the drinks are to your liking."
"Very much so. Would you like to sit down?"
Glancing around to make sure everything was running smoothly, Lilith lowered herself onto a nearby chair.
"For a few minutes, thank you. Are you going to be in the area for awhile?"
"A few weeks. Dakota has personal business she needs to attend to and I am taking a break from my work."
"Not permanently, I hope. I've never seen any of your shows, but I hear they are spectacular."
"Thanks. At this point, I am not sure what I will be doing."
"She's been talking retirement," Dakota interjected. "But that's not going to happen. I haven't figured out how she does her stunts, yet. Besides, I'm too young to retire and if she stops, I won't have anyone as interesting to stalk."
Rolling her eyes, Yemaya pretended to bitch slap the back of the journalist's head, tapping it lightly with her fingertips.
"I'm glad to hear that." laughed Lilith, amused at the unexpected playfulness of the Illusionist. "I'd like to at least see one before you call it quits."
"No problem. We do have one more scheduled in a few
