spa day than her monthly mortgage payment and blend in seamlessly. But she’d never been very good at faking sexual or romantic interest, and this man was used to being fawned over by practiced sex kittens.

CHAPTER FOUR
Kick Ass Dress
     
    Cindy had to give it to her aunt; it was a kick ass dress.  It had looked like a black birthday cake on its own, but on her body it was a dream.  It was strapless, with a gold satin bodice and a plunging sweetheart neckline that would have been indecent if it were any deeper.  The back dipped low in the back and laced up like a corset with gold ribbons.  The dropped waist rippled out into layers upon layers of frothy black tulle all the way to the floor.  It would have been too much, a prom nightmare, if it hadn’t been for the slit in the center of the front that started, or ended if you looked at it that way, mid-thigh.  The slit was parted just enough to see a hint of skin.  But when she walked every step showed a length of silky leg. 
    The dress was sex on a stick without being over the top or tacky.  Perfectly decent, but enough to give a man ideas about what lay underneath.  The shoes, however, were lust personified.  They were five-inch heeled gold sandals on a one inch platform with two rhinestone encrusted straps that went across the top of her foot and two others that twined up her leg to the middle of her calf.  It looked like she had strings of diamonds wrapped around her leg.  Cindy was pretty sure the shoes had cost as much, if not more than, the dress.
    The ensemble was finished off with a black and gold mask. This was a Masked Ball after all.  She’d thought it would be a lace mess, but when she saw herself in the mirror she’d been stunned.  Her honey-blond streaked hair had been done up in a riot of curls pinned all over her head in a sexy, messy bed head look. The mask ties had been laced through and pinned into her hair so they didn’t mess up the style.   She used a smoky gray shadow on her lids, and lined them with dark kohl to make her eyes pop behind the mask.   She finished off the look with bold red lipstick. 
    For her jewelry she wore a necklace and earring set that had belonged to her mother.  The simple gold chain bearing a diamond pendant and matching earrings were one of a kind, designed by her father and given to her mother to wear on their wedding day.  Cindy had never had reason to wear the set before, but it had seemed perfect to go with this dress. 
    She couldn’t believe how incredibly beautiful and sexy she looked.  Even without the mask she hardly recognized herself.  Faye had been right, she needn’t worry.  She probably wouldn’t even have to open her mouth to get close to Sebastian Prince.  Her feminine wiles were on display for all to see.      
    “Cynthia!  Are you listening?”
    “Yes, yes, I hear you.”  Cindy said offhandedly. 
    “So, you will be at the curb at midnight?”
    “Yes. Wait. What?”  She turned her head to see her aunts perturbed look. 
    They were in the back of a limo on their way to the ball.  Though Faye wasn’t attending, she had insisted in riding along to give Cindy her final briefing.  Unfortunately since they’d pulled away from the building that housed Godmother Security, Cindy had been lost in her own thoughts and hadn’t heard a word her aunt said.
    “Sometimes your attention span makes me wonder how you can be as good an agent as you are.  Distraction can get you killed.”  Faye chided in a tone not unlike a mother scolding an unruly child.
    “I was just going over my strategy to get close to Prince.” It wasn’t really a lie.  Besides, her mind only wandered before a job, helping her get relaxed and ready.  Once she stepped out of the limo she would be focused and on task
