batted her eyelids, giving the man a roll of her eyes. “Funny. I heard the same thing about Ms. February. Will she be joining us?”
    Glade’s demeanor changed. “I’m afraid she can’t be with us.”
    “Shame. Now, if you’ll just inform us as to which room we’ll be staying in…”
    “East wing, last suite on the left.” He cupped her elbow when she tried to walk past. “Our security requirements…”
    “Our phones. How could I forget?”
    She handed over her tablet and cell, still smiling at the man as Roman and Aiden followed suit.
    Glade thanked them, not yet moving aside. “Not to sound suspicious, but… We’re taking stricter precautions this time, what with that unfortunate incident involving Everett trying to exploit some of my girls. I’m sure you’ll understand that it’s for everyone’s safety.”
    To her credit, Scarlet didn’t even flinch. “Of course. What can we do?”
    ”It’s quite simple, really. I’m just asking for every couple to offer a show of faith.”
    “Not sure I’m following you.”
    “Just a few minor things. First, all female guests must have at least one male escort with them at all times. No exceptions. Second, we expect every couple—or threesome in your case—to make an appearance at a few of our…engagements. Participation will be assumed, of course.” Thomas glanced at Roman then Aiden. “And lastly, all guests are required to give a visual confirmation of their…involvement before being granted full access.”
    Scarlet took a step back, bumping into Aiden. He snagged her waist, cursing under his breath at the shiver that worked through her.
    She recovered quickly, steadying her expression as she looked at Glade. “And how are we to achieve that?”
    “Quite simply, my dear. Just give your lovers a kiss for me. Trust me. I’ve been in this business long enough to tell a real one from a fake.” He snickered. “Unless you’d rather give us more of a show?”
    Scarlet waved his suggestion away. “Can’t start off the week with the grand finale. Every girl wants to have a bit of mystery about her.”
    “Touché. So a kiss it is.”
    Scarlet turned toward them, a momentary lapse of confidence creasing her brow. She opened her mouth just as Roman lunged forward, threading his fingers through her hair as he tugged her hard against his chest. She inhaled, her hands landing on his shoulders as he tipped her back slightly, crushing his mouth to hers. She made a muffled gasping sound before she melted against him, smoothing her fingers into his hair.
    Roman commanded the kiss, every set of eyes stopping to stare at the couple as he made love to her mouth, licking and nibbling her bottom lip when he finally released her. Her eyes blinked open, the stunning blue far darker than they’d been moments before. He smiled down at her, easing her back up. She raised her hand to her chest, as she seemed to take a few labored breaths.
    Aiden felt an answering tightness in his chest as Roman turned his gaze on him. Roman gave him a lift of an eyebrow before striking, taking Aiden’s mouth in a demanding kiss. The man swept his tongue inside, a lingering hint of coffee adding to the heady flavor that was all Roman. Aiden answered in kind, using his added height to dominate Roman once he’d started to ease off. Aiden didn’t hide his obvious arousal when he finally pulled back, knowing the hard line of his dick pressing against his pants would only add authenticity to their game.
    Roman smiled, glancing at Scarlet as he stepped back. Her eyes were rounded in shock, her lips slightly parted as if she’d started to say something but hadn’t remembered what it was.
    Aiden took the opportunity to snag her around the waist, pulling her flush to his chest. He dipped down, nuzzling his lips against her neck. A hushed, “oh, God” murmured next to his ear as her breath hissed out on a sigh. He worked his way up her jaw, lifting both hands to cup her face as he brushed
