legends. These males were warriors who had come to
Earth’s aid, and they had never asked for anything in return. It was a
privilege to host them and she wouldn’t do anything to screw up this
assignment. “On behalf of our planet, I would like to thank you for everything
you did for us.”
    “No need. Truly. We always
appreciate a good battle,” Brydan said jovially. “And we were pleased to be of
service…especially if it meant you survived.”
    That was a strange way of putting
it, and Alexis couldn’t help but think there was more to what he had said.
    “Those were dark days,” Thorn
commented as he looked around. “But your people have come back from the ashes
of the destruction and have risen again.”
    “We have,” Alexis agreed proudly
as she started to walk again. She noticed that all four males kept their
attention on her, even as they noted everything around them, including the
number of people that watched them pass. “I’ve read about your race. Well, as
much as I could, I guess. There isn’t a lot on file about you. I know you like
to be called Dragon Warriors since you are travelers instead of Arcadians,
right?”
    “Aye, it is easier to be known
throughout the universe as such,” Galan explained, making Alexis smile. “It
allows other cultures to know what we are, which can stop them from starting
unnecessary trouble with us and cuts down on explanations.”
    “It also shows the distinction of
who we are to our own people,” Xavier added. “Arcadians are those who live on
our home world of Arcadia. As Dragon Warriors, although we may visit, our home
is amongst the stars aboard our vessel, the Odyssey .”
    “You must love it, traveling to
other worlds,” Alexis said wistfully.
    “We do, but it can be lonely. You
have a desire to travel?” Thorn asked, his voice serious.
    “I do, but I can’t. My eyes are
very sensitive and the harsh lighting on most space vessels hurts me.”
    “But if the light did not hurt
you, would you want to travel?” Thorn insisted with an intensity she didn’t
understand.
    Alexis thought fleetingly about
her dream to travel the stars and smiled. “Yes, I suppose I would.”
    She led them onto the glide that
took them up to the entrance of their temporary residence. “We use an implant
similar to your own technology that converts languages so most citizens in the
cities will be able to understand you. But if you run into anyone who doesn’t,
please just let me know and I can translate for you.”
    At their nod, she turned to face
forward on the glide. Grateful for the momentary respite from their intense
gazes, she froze in place as she felt a gentle touch as if one of the men
behind her had run his hand over her ponytail. The weight was gone before she
could turn and she figured she must have imagined it.
    Closing her eyes, she tried to
regain control of her body when all she wanted to do was turn around and throw
herself in the arms of one of them. Hell, it didn’t matter which one. She was
extremely attracted to all four, and that unnerved her. They were pure
temptation with their gorgeous, big bodies and handsome faces. It was going to
kill her not to give into the lust raging through her body, but she had to keep
herself in check.
    Since meeting the four alien
warriors she had become one big mass of hormones. Never had she been so
instantly attracted to anyone, let alone four men at once. They were forbidden,
totally off limits. She had a personal rule not to get involved with anyone she
was working with, plus it would go against every professional standard of her
rank, as well as causing potential intergalactic implications if she gave into
her urges.
    She knew she should probably hand
this assignment over to someone else, and had been fully prepared to do
so…until she saw them. After she saw them she knew she wouldn’t be handing the
assignment over to anyone else. Something about the strong warriors drew her,
making her want to spend more
