felt the surge of emotions
emanating from them. Somehow she could tell that all four of them were furious
at themselves, but mixed with that was a feeling of satisfaction and a deep
sense of pride that she was theirs. Yes, they’d hurt her, but she had hurt them
as well, by doubting their feelings for her and refusing their claim. She knew
they were waiting for her to explode, to scream at them and unleash her fury
for taking away her choice…but she wasn’t angry.
Instead, she felt free.
She could feel their sincerity
and had never felt more ashamed of her gifts than now. Since meeting them she
had been reading their emotions, reacting automatically to how they were
feeling, but she had been denying them that same right.
Logic had been holding her back,
telling her it was too soon to make a monumental decision that would affect the
rest of her life. She’d only just met them, yet in her heart she felt like
she’d been waiting for them her whole life. Like they were the missing pieces
of her she had never even known were missing until she saw them.
Normally, she didn’t like taking
chances. She was a planner, and liked to know what to expect before she did
anything new, but nothing about this was expected. How the hell could she have
planned meeting four alien warriors that could shift into dragons that would
want to claim her as their mate?
Alexis wasn’t anything special,
but the way they looked at her made her feel like the most beautiful woman in
the world…hell, in the entire galaxy. When she felt their emotions it was as if
they were a part of her.
When they touched her, shivered.
When they looked at her, she
melted.
Knowing they’d claimed her
settled something inside of her that had been aching. It meant that she belonged,
when she never had before…not really. It also meant that they belonged to her,
and that she would never lose them. Mating was a bond stronger than anything
humans could imagine, and she wanted that with them.
Alexis didn’t give a damn about
waiting any longer, and she knew what they said was true. In her heart she was
already their mate. The scent of Xavier’s skin was like an aphrodisiac to her
already overloaded senses. His snarls didn’t scare her. In fact, it made her
hot, so hot she couldn’t control herself, and she stopped trying. Gripping his
hair, she surprised him as she crushed her mouth to his in a searing kiss.
His taste exploded on her tongue,
and it made her want to devour him in big, greedy bites. He immediately
responded in kind, taking control of their kiss as he plundered her mouth. She
loved how commanding he was and moaned at the pleasure he gave her.
Xavier pulled back, breathing
hard. His eyes burning a molten silver as he looked down at her and she
shivered at the intensity in his gaze. “Does this mean you are not angry any
longer?”
She slowly smiled. “No, I’m not.
Actually, I’m relieved. It might be sooner than I had planned, but I think the
outcome was inevitable. I couldn’t give you up. Any of you. I want to be your
mate. Actually, I feel like I already am.”
“You are,” he growled.
“She may be claimed by you, but
not by us. Not yet,” Thorn said, his voice dark with need. “And we are going to
fix that…right now.”

Chapter Six
In the time it took Alexis to
blink she found herself teleported back in the living room of the guest suite
with her four Dragon Warriors. Their magic sure came in handy and was a pretty
damn slick mode of transportation.
“Wow, now that is a cool trick.”
Xavier chuckled. “Glad I could
please you, mate.”
“Come here, my love,” Thorn
commanded as he took her from Xavier’s arms, carrying her into her bedroom that
she had taken in the guest suite.
Exhilarated, Alexis let out a
laugh. “I am going to have a hell of a time explaining all this to my commander
tomorrow.”
“You should not have to answer to
any other male regarding out mating,” Xavier growled. She
