side. Large glass doors had been opened to allow guests in and out of the garden. At the moment, it was empty and she was the only one there. She walked around, fascinated with the multitude of plants and flowers. Then she saw it. A giant swing in the center of the room, facing the outdoors and the forest. The swing was a giant two person seat, covered in white and pink frilly lace cushions. The ropes it hung from on the ceiling were twined with sheer fabric. The seat looked inviting and comfortable, not to mention incredibly romantic.
    “Beautiful, isn’t it?” a voice said.
    She glanced around the room, her gaze searching through the pockets of darkness to find a figure leaning against a pillar by a door.
    “It’s very beautiful,” she said softly. Shit. When the hell had her voice turned so low and husky? “If you’re looking to be alone, I can go.”
    He left the wall and prowled to her. The light filtering from outside allowed her to make out his costume. She didn’t know what he was. Her best guess was a pirate. His pants were torn as was his shirt.  His chest was exposed for her view. The closer he came, the more nervous she got.
    “I’m here to meet you,” he said.
    She frowned, paying more attention to his voice. She knew that voice. “Kane?”
    His lips lifted in a sinful smile that made her belly heat with desire. “That’s me. And you’re my Little Red, I guess?”
    She wanted to laugh but she couldn’t. This was Kane. Her brother’s best friend. How could he not realize it was her? Kane had never looked at her with all that open hunger before. He eyed her up and down as if she was a meal and he was starving.
    “I am,” she said, her voice still a mere whisper.
    If Kane was here, that meant...
    “She looks just as good from behind as she does from the front,” another voice said.
    She glanced over her shoulder. Sure enough it was Blake in a costume identical to the one Kane had on. She knew she’d worn a face mask, but how did they not recognize her? Of course. They’d never really seen her like this. Without her glasses, and the last time she’d seen the two of them was years ago when she was in college. Back then she’d hidden behind big long dresses and sweats. It was only a few years ago that she’d changed her whole way of dressing to blend with her personality.
    “You’re Blake,” she breathed as the two men crowded around her.
    Kane removed his face mask and sniffed. His brows dropped down in a frown. “I can’t scent you.”
    Blake touched her arm and goose bumps broke over her skin. She glanced at him and watched him inhale. “I can’t either.”
    “You’re not supposed to scent me,” she said, her voice growing huskier. “You’re supposed to follow your instinct.” She fed them the same line Gerri had given her.
    It was like her biggest fantasy come true. Blake and Kane. Both men she’d wanted years ago paying attention to her. She wanted to say something but feared the more she spoke, the easier it would be for them to realize it was her. She didn’t want the fantasy to end. If she could get a night with them, she would give up Aurelis’s cakes for a year. Okay, a month, but that was huge for her.
    “Take the mask off,” Kane said, reaching for her hand.
    She shook her head, feeling brave under the mask. These men were her brother’s friends. They would run out of that garden faster than a speeding bullet if they knew it was her. For years she’d known that being Marcos’s sister had made her the one person they wouldn’t touch. So she’d stayed away from them. Not like she needed the temptation anyway. But now here they were. Both showing interest in her and she had done nothing but stand there and say a handful of words. Maybe she wouldn’t find her one true love tonight, but she was sure going along with whatever these two had in mind for her.
    “I’d feel better with it on,” she whispered, keeping her voice soft. It wasn’t hard when her chest
