you for forever while I will hate you because I can’t drink.”
    Fallon laughed as Elli put the bottles of wine behind her desk and opened one of the packets. “I also brought an idea for you.”
    Elli looked up from the packet as Fallon handed over the proposal she had been working on for weeks. “Rocky Top Wines thinks that we need to tie in closer with the Assassins, and the way we want to do it is with a campaign featuring one of your players. I don’t know which one ‘cause I only know two from the team and I doubt you and Harper would be okay with females all over your men.”
    “You are right on that one,” Elli said with laugh as she looked through the proposal.
    Fallon smiled as she went on. “So we would want a single, late twenties, good-looking guy that has all his teeth for the campaign.”
    “Fallon honey, the whole team is missing teeth,” Elli laughed, making Fallon laugh.
    “I know that but they would need to wear their teeth for the creative shoot.”
    “Gotcha, let me run this by my uncle. We’ll set up a meeting and see what else you got for us. I hate to rush ya babe, but I have an appointment coming in, so can I call you when I got a time for you?”
    “Sure can,” Fallon said as she stood, meeting Elli by the desk to hug tightly.
    “I’ll talk to you soon,” Elli gushed as they parted and Fallon started for the door.
    “Thanks so much, can’t wait to hear from you,” Fallon said as she opened the door and started out it. If the campaigns happened, then hopefully Fallon could propose the cellar idea. She knew it would be a hit, just as the campaign would be — as long as they got the right guy. They needed someone sexy and dangerous that had a soft, sophisticated side.
    Lucas Brooks would be perfect.
    A fit of giggles came out of her when she got on the elevator and pushed the main floor button.
    Thank God that would never happen.

    Lucas was nervous.
    If Eleanor Alder was anything like her husband, he was in for it. Adler had been hard on him all through practice, yelling and taunting him while he tried to do his best. But Lucas couldn’t keep up, he was dog tired.
    “It’s going to be fine, Lucas,” Levi said from the other side of the elevator. Lucas looked over at him and shrugged his shoulders.
    “I sucked at practice today,” Lucas stated.
    “Yeah, but you were tired, they understood that. You’ll be fine tomorrow.”
    “I hope so,” he said as the doors opened and they both exited. They walked down the purple and black hall and came to a large black desk that held a gorgeous blonde. Levi’s mouth twitched when the girl stood and said her greeting. The girl was thick, and Levi loved thick women. Levi was about to spit some game at the luscious blonde, and Lucas couldn’t wait for the show that would happen.
    “I’m sorry what did you say? I was completely distracted by your gorgeous face. I love your eyes, they are so blue.”
    Like Lucas expected, the girl giggled as she turned bright red.
    “Mr. Brooks.”
    Lucas turned to see his new boss in some sexy little shorts, leaning against the door. Adler already hated Lucas so there was no way in hell he was going to give him more of a reason by checking out his wife.
    “Mrs. Adler, how are you?” Lucas asked as he came towards her, taking her hand in his when he reached her.
    “I’m great, better than you from what I hear,” she said as she led him into the office. He walked in before her as she shut the door. “Have a seat.”
    Lucas did as she asked as she came around her large black desk and took a seat. The bright blue chairs stood out in the black and purple room, but who was he to judge her décor? Pictures of her brand new baby girl were on every surface in the office, along with a huge picture of the whole Adler clan above her desk.
    “So practice didn’t go well?” she asked again, and he looked across the desk at her.
    “I’m extremely tired. I
