Camila nodded.“I’ll try.Thank you.”She held it in both hands and inhaled the delicious aroma of chicken and herbs.She used to love cooking, but it had been forbidden because she could not act like a common person.

“This is really good.Thank you.”

Her eyes scanned Aiden.His hair was dark, almost black, and his eyes were a deep chocolate.Her mouth watered.She couldn’t remember the last time she’d had chocolate.She had been put on a strict diet, and candy or sweets of any kind were prohibited.

This one had dimples when he smiled, and it made him seem almost boyish until you looked in his eyes.

She guessed both men could be extremely dangerous when they needed to be, but for some reason, she knew in her heart they wouldn’t hurt her.She did know she was being delusional, but she didn’t have another choice at that moment.

She handed the cup back to Aiden.“Thank you.That was wonderful.”

“Would you like some more?”

“No.I’m full.Did you make that yourself?”

Aiden snorted.“No, Malik is the chef in this family, but I am an expert on cutting up vegetables.”

She laughed, then stopped abruptly, looking astonished.

“What’s wrong?”Malik asked.

“I can’t remember the last time I laughed.”

She regretted talking when she caught the looks in their eyes.They’d been curious before, but now there was a sharpness in their eyes.

“We need to talk, baby.”

She nodded at Malik.

Aiden reached out and smoothed her hair from her face.“Can you tell us your last name?”

She bit down on her lip and shook her head.

“All right.Can we talk about why you were on our mountain?”Malik asked.

“I ...I didn’t know it was yours.”

Malik stroked her leg over the blanket.“That’s not an issue.We found you about half dead.Where’s your car?Do you have luggage?Where were you headed, and what made you run into a forest?”

She grew tenser.“I-I can’t tell you.”

The men glanced at each other.

“Can you tell us where you were going?”

She looked back and forth.“I don’t know.I was just driving.I didn’t have a destination in mind.”She ignored their looks of concern.“I’m very tired.Can I go to sleep?”

The men nodded, settled her on the sofa, and made sure she was covered up.

Aiden tucked a lock of hair behind her ear.“Sleep, baby.”

She closed her eyes and was asleep a moment later.
