decision and frustrated.
    “I was trying to tell you, you’re beautiful, and intelligent. The world out there… it isn’t what it should be, but I can give you access… to what you deserve… and what I know you want.”
    “You barely even know me. This has all gotten out of hand.” Eve hung her head down trying to avoid his gaze.
    “You’re selling yourself short just like that world out there is going to do for you. You can give yourself a dream life. You’re beautiful, smart, and a little funny.” Matt held her chin between his fingertips and lifted her eyes to his, “Take what’s yours to take, Eve. Life rarely asks twice.” Eve stared back into his eyes, silent. “Try it this weekend. Henri would love to show you what life could be like. If you don’t do this, you’re not the woman I thought you were.”
    “I don’t know, but I won’t say no yet. What about… practical matters?” Eve tried to hint at the health risks that having multiple partners provided.
    “Good point and an important question. We’ve all had the “clip” first off all, so no birth control is needed for the women. Also, requirements to join up have become a little more international, but it remains by invitation only along with extensive financial requirements, background checks, and even its own policing organization to keep playtime clean and fun for us all… that includes very regular medical monitoring for everyone. There’s really only one rule, well… two rules.”
    “And what are those?”
    “Total secrecy. You can tell no one. Not your family, not your friends. And, you can never sleep with someone outside the organization unless asked.” Matt unrolled the beach blanket, and they sat down to watch the last wisps of sunset paint the sky. “Like I said, try it this weekend.”
    “Why did you tell me all this?”
    “What do you mean?”
    “What if I say no?”
    “Because no one thinks you will. That and after a sampling of what’s available, no one has said no yet.”
    “Very confident, your group.”
    “I’ll be in a guest house nearby for a bit. Gabriel will be in another guest house as well. You and Henri will have the main house for Saturday and Sunday. We’ll all be back together Monday.”
    “What about my work? I need to get back.”
    “You can use one of those sick days you never use. Plus, you won’t need that job soon. You’ll be financially secure… permanently, well, provided you join.”
    “Oh my God!”
    “What? What’s the matter?”
    “He’s not a member is he? Geoff?” Eve’s eyes widened.
    “Oh God no!” Matt laughed and grabbed her in a tight squeeze. He laid out a beach blanket, so they could enjoy the last bit of sunlight, and he kissed her neck making his way to her lips. “Like I said, your life is about to get a lot more interesting.”

    Henri appeared at the French doors to open them as Eve and Matt entered the house. “How is your evening going?”
    “It’s been interesting, that’s for sure!” Eve shook her head and laughed to herself. She poured herself some more wine and collapsed on the couch.
    Matt slipped away taking Gabriel with him. The group’s suitcases hadn’t left their spot by the door earlier, and as Eve turned her head she saw the door close. Henri and Eve’s bags remained.
    “I’m taking our bags up to the bedroom. Is that okay?” Henri stood waiting her approval with bags already in hand.
    “Yes, yes, that’s fine.” Eve looked at Henri thoroughly for the first time. He had that famous honey blonde, fine, French hair. He had a light tan and sea green eyes. He wasn’t quite as tall as Matt, maybe two inches shorter, but Eve suddenly found that appealing. It made him even closer to her.
    “We’ve had a long trip. I’ve set up a shower for you. The Jacuzzi is set up too. Whatever you prefer.” Henri left Eve alone; she sat listening to the beach birds’ little cries. It was a paradise compared to spending hours on the
