Not for Jared. He preferred the woman he was with, whoever that might be, to cry out his real name whenever he took her.
Dana moved into view, and he stopped breathing. She was even prettier in the sunlight. “She’s up,” he told the others.
“Did she find the bandanas?” Lance wanted to know.
“They’re in her hand.” He smiled, watching her pause to glance around, her other hand held across her brow to shield her eyes.
Was she looking for them? For him?
He wanted to think so as he watched her carefully disembark.

When Dana awoke, she lay tucked in the bed on the pirates’ boat, but the men were nowhere to be found. Neither was the money. Sunlight streamed into the room via a few round portals. Through them she could see parts of the dock she’d left from the night before with James. Yawning, she sat up and saw her dress draped across the foot of the bed. Her shoes lay on the floor nearby, and on the nightstand next to her clutch-when had they retrieved that?-were two bandanas folded in a neat pile. On top sat a small business card with the words The Pleasure Club on it.
She looked around again. Her lace panties were missing, too, a fact that made her chuckle until she noticed the time.
Shocked, Dana used her cell to call a cab and quickly dressed, taking a few minutes in the bathroom first to make herself more presentable. She snatched up the card and the bandanas on her way out.
Topside, she squinted in the bright light of the new day as she carefully made her way off the boat and down the pier. Still, her pirates were nowhere in sight. Slightly disappointed and ignoring the second glances she drew from those who spotted her in her evening attire, she slipped into the back of her waiting taxi, the bandanas clenched in her hand.
The driver peered at her in the rearview mirror. “Where to?”
She heard the question but was more focused on the card in her hand. She’d flipped the card over and spotted a handwritten message, which read:
For our most precious treasure.
We won’t forget you, Dana.
Your gentlemen pirates, Jared and Lance
In a different handwriting, a postscript was added.
P.S. Thanks for the adventure.
Always , James.
“Ma’am?”
With a smile splitting her face, she looked up and answered, “Home, please.” After giving the cab driver her address, she sat back and held the bandanas to her lips, her gaze on the card in her lap.
