question.
    “Dinner is at eight tonight. We’ll eat then Matt wants to talk to you.” Gabriel encased both of her small hands in his large. “We’ll have a wonderful time. Don’t worry. Everything is fine.
    After a dinner of local seafood, everyone eased back from the table satisfied.  “So, am I the only woman on this trip? Don’t you two have girlfriends?” Eve smiled and poured herself another glass of wine from the carafe.
    “Why don’t we go walk down by the beach, Eve? We need to talk,” Matt said. He guided her off her chair and out the French doors down to the beach.
    As they walked along the sugar white sand, Matt confessed, “I have something I need to tell you, but it’s good news. So, don’t worry.”
    “Worry? I’m already worried. This is a long way to come to tell me you don’t want to see me anymore.”
    “It’s not that because I do. However, I’m not the only one, nor can I be the only one.”
    “Hmm? I don’t get it?” The moonlight highlighted her brunette hair and cast her shadow onto the sand during the spectacular sunset. “Just go ahead and say it. I’m a grown woman just tell me whatever it is.”
    “I know; it’s just big… that’s all.” Matt took a deep breath and ran his hand through his hair. His hands plunged into his pockets, as he turned to look at the sunset. “Henri, Gabriel, and I, and more, to be completely… thorough… are part of a society.”
    “Ooh, are you all members of the National Geographic Society? No way!” Eve toyed with her necklace using her humor as a defense. It was her usual modus operandi .
    “No, no Eve. It’s an order within a very old order. It’s the Order of the Garter, that’s the larger society. The Order of the Garter is extremely old, and it is publically known. It used to have only British knights and royalty for its members, but things changed after two world wars. That things have changed is unknown outside of the order. Our secret order is called The Black Band. It’s an invitation only sex society... women are shared. The men are too for that matter. Very powerful men belong to it, as well as women. Many of the women can become very important just from being in the order. I want you in it with me. Will you join?”
    Eve managed a blank stare. “I’m too stunned to respond, honestly. I don’t know what to say.”
    “Say yes, it’s that easy. You’ll be set for the rest of your life, Eve. If you’re in the order for ten years, you’ll be secure for life, and living a very luxurious life at that. Just tell me what you’re thinking; you don’t need to answer yet.”
    “Do I need to wear the belt all the time?”
    “No, not unless someone requests you too, but it certainly wouldn’t be for long periods of time.”
    “What do you mean unless someone requests I do?”
    “Other men, Eve. You’ll be sleeping with other men… and me. I might be able to get some exceptions made for us, but once you’re in the group you can’t leave. I’d like to tone down my involvement. I’ve been talking about it with that man you met at the party. He’s a couple years older... remember him?
    “I, I...” Eve felt the room tip from side to side; she quickly sat down to stop herself from falling down. “I need to know more.”
    “Not yet, but this weekend will be a chance for you to try things out.”
    “Try out? What does that mean? This is getting crazy!” Eve got up and began to walk away unsteadily. She didn’t know if she’d just received a full access pass to her wildest fantasies, or she was being manipulated and used.
    Matt touched her shoulder to stop her and gently turned her around. “Henri, he wants you. Rather badly actually...especially after the poker. Face it, you’re beautiful, hey, hey…” Eve turned away from him and shoved his hands away. “Stop, just hold up a second, let me tell you something.”
    “What?” Eve said twitching her lips quickly like she always did when pressed for a
