Is that what's happening? Are the guys making it come true?

They did say they would, but I wasn’t sure they would be serious when they read what I actually wanted.

Licking my lips, I slowly turn around, my heart pounding so hard I feel dizzy.

The masked man stands at the bottom of the front steps, hands in his pockets, head cocked to the side as he watches me, waiting to see what I’m going to do next.

If that’s Grayson, are the others inside the house, and did I ruin it by running outside? Or is it just him?

“Come on now, Pretty Girl. You can’t make it this easy for us,” he chuckles. “Where’s the fun in that?” he asks, taking one step down.

He’s pretty far away with the fountain in the front yard between us, but on instinct, I take a step back, bumping into something.

Letting out a yelp, I spin around to find masked man number two. “Mhhm,” he hums as my head slowly tilts back to look up at him. I swallow hard, a rush of excitement filling me. “What's a pretty little ray of Sunshine like you doing out here all alone?”

I shiver for a whole new reason this time when he lifts his hand to pull at a lock of my hair.

“Not very safe, Kitten.” Another voice sounds from behind me, making me stumble to the side in surprise. “You never know who might be lurking in the dark.”

Grayson, Collin, Preston. My men. I’m safe.

At least from any danger.

Part of me wants to look around to see where Declan might be, but the other part of me is telling me to run.

I take another step away from them, then another as they both stand there watching me, wearing matching outfits as Grayson.

I’m trying not to smile, not to let this giddy feeling overwhelm me, but holy shit! This is really happening, isn’t it?

I’d say I’m still asleep and this is all a dream, but the cold night air dances along my skin, reminding me that this is very real.

Turning on my heel, I take off running towards the trees, the grass a hell of a lot softer on my feet.

“Looks like we got ourselves a little rabbit, boys!” I hear Grayson shouting from behind me. “Let the hunt begin.”

A little laugh of excitement bubbles out, a smile splitting my face. The fear is gone, replaced with adrenaline and arousal.

Catching a glance over my shoulder, I see the guys running towards me. They’re going to see me go right for the tree line. So I change paths and head for the back of the house.

Crouching under the deck, I bite my lips together to keep myself from making a sound, nostrils flaring as I try to catch my breath.

Peering through the gap between the wood, I watch the moonlight light up the yard, showing me that the guys have stopped and are looking around. They are all wearing the same masks and clothes, but I can tell the difference by their voices. “Where did she go?” Grayson asks.

“You don’t think she’s really afraid of us, do you?” Preston asks. “I swear to god, if we traumatize her, I'm going to kill you both.”

Collin chuckles. “You saw the look in her eyes. She knows it’s us. And she’s turned on. Now, shut up, stop ruining this, and let’s go find our girl. My cock is fucking rock hard and I’d love to see her choke on it.”

My thighs clamp together, and I hold back a whimper. I’m not sure how this is going to end, but I know it’s going to involve sex. Group sex? Fuck yes.

“Preston, you take the tree line, she might have just taken another way there. I’ll head back towards the front just in case she went back around, and Collin, you check to see if she went back into the house through the back door.”

They all take off, and I wait a little while longer before moving out of my hiding spot.

Knowing I can’t go anywhere else, I head towards the garden to hide out.

Once I’m there, I stop again, catching my breath. “I’m too out of shape for this.” I groan, closing my eyes as I stretch out my muscles with a groan.

When I open them again, a smile takes over my lips as I take in the garden. I’ve never been down here at night, but it’s stunning. Solar lights illuminate the space, giving it an almost magical look.
