room and a pool.”
    “You’ve been busy this morning, but you left out the gym and basketball court.”
    Both Zander’s eyebrows go up.
    Vincent looks at her with enthusiasm, “Really!  I love to play basketball.”
    Naira doesn’t say anything she just continues to eat.
    Zander continues, “So?”
    With annoyance in her voice Naira asks, “So what?”
    Sensing the change in atmosphere Vincent responds, “I think what my nosy brother is trying to say is , you have a lavish home.”
    Naira shrugs her shoulders, “I do.”
    Not ready to let it go Zander asks, “How much is it worth?”
    Naira sighs in aggravation, “Are you looking to buy it?  If not, why the hell do you need to know how much it costs?  This is the reason I don’t let people in my house.  Why are you always asking so many questions?  I understand wanting to get to know someone but your questions are really invasive.”
    Zander places his hand over one of hers, “I’m sorry, occupational habit.  V and I intend to buy a house once we can take some time off from work.  Any help you can give us would be appreciated. Your house is amazing.  It looks as though it may be little out of our price range though.”
    She takes a deep breathe releasing her tension, “ I’m sorry too, trust is sometimes very difficult for me to give.  Honestly, we probably would not have made it this far if you guys didn’t know Dante.  I got a good price for the house.  I can introduce you to my realtor when you guys are ready to shop.”
    Zander opens his mouth to ask another question but Vincent looks at him and quickly shakes his head no.  Instead, Vincent says, “That would be great.  I usually look online, that’s where I found the apartment we’re in now.  We just wanted something fast and convenient.”
    Naira shakes her head, “I had just graduated from San Diego Tech when I saw the for sale sign.  I was lucky that the seller was moving to Hollywood and wanted to close quickly.  I had a full scholarship to SDT which gave me a chance to save half the money my parents left me when they passed away and I invested the other half.
    Naira walks into the kitchen to wash the dishes and sees Vincent and Zander look at each other.  Turning on the sink she says, “I prefer people to ask questions straight out rather than them beat around the bush.”
    Vincent asks, “What happened to your parents?”
    “Car accident.”
    Zander and Vincent look at her but Naira continues washing the dishes.  Out the corner of her eye she sees them watching her. She looks up at them.  “Please understand, I don’t like to feel like I’m being taken advantage of and I cherish trust, honest and loyalty above everything else.”
    Vincent walks over to her, kissing her on the bruise then her lips he says, “I can respect that.”
    Naira hugs him; Vincent leans against the counter as he spins Naira around to lean against him.  She tilts her head looking at Zander, “And how do you feel about that, Can you respect that?”
    Zander doesn’t speak for a little while; Naira can picture the cogs in his head spinning.  Finally he says, “I will do my best to be straight with you.”
    Naira can tell there is something he isn’t saying but she just nods her head, “Okay.”  She smiles, “I know a great way we can all explore this trifecta we’re forming.”
    The brothers look at each other then at Naira intrigued.  Vincent asks, “What’s your idea Beautiful?’
    With a doe like bat of her eyes she replies, “I think we should go to Eclipse tomorrow.”
    They both look at her and smile.  Naira looks at them coquettishly, “That is if you both are available.”
    The brothers’ nod their heads in agreement, Zander adds, “That can definitely be arranged.”
    Naira says, “Good, we can take Leah with us.”
    Vincent frowns, “Speaking of Leah, why didn’t you want her to know Dante owns Eclipse or that it’s a BDSM club?”
    “ Leah and Dante have
