time with them, even if it was torture for her self-control.
    No, these males were not for her,
but damned if she couldn’t appreciate the eye candy.
    Stepping off the glide, she used
the code that had been given to her to gain entry into the building. She led
them onto the lift and pressed in another series of numbers on the panel that
would take them directly to the suite that had been prepared for their use.
    Being surrounded by the four
massive bodies in the elevator made it impossible for Alexis to ignore their
potent appeal. Thankfully, it only took a matter of seconds to rise up the floors,
and when the doors opened she walked out into the spacious suite that was well
suited for such large males.
    This particular suite had been
enlarged with higher ceilings than usual and sturdier furnishings to suit
visitors like the Dragon Warriors. The suite ran the entire floor of the
building and had eight full bedrooms and a large central gathering area with a
full kitchen off to the side. This particular suite also had a large garden out
on the balcony as well as a small pool for them to enjoy.
    She took off her sunshades and
surveyed the room, pleased that everything was in order. She always loved
staying at one of the visitor suites since they were so much nicer than her own
living quarters. Still, some of the visitors she had hosted had made it almost
impossible to enjoy her time in the suites, but she had a feeling these four
wouldn’t give her that kind of problem.
    Christ, with the way she was
feeling, she was more likely to lock the doors…with them inside the suite with
her. Mentally scolding herself again, she reminded herself to do her job.
“Well, here are your temporary living quarters. I hope it’s—”
    Her words were cut off as she
turned to find Xavier standing right behind her, his glowing silver eyes
piercing into her as she tilted her head back. She was frozen in place as he
slowly reached out and took the sunshades from her shaking hand.
    “You fear me?”
    “I…no, I don’t. It’s just that I
didn’t expect you to be standing behind me.” Yeah, fear was definitely not what
she was feeling with him so close to her.
    He seemed to study her and her
eyes widened as he reached up and gently pushed a strand of her hair off of her
face that had come loose from her ponytail. “I do not like these,” he said
holding up her sunshades.
    Confusion had her brow furrowing.
“You don’t?”
    “Nay, they hide your beautiful
eyes from our view, but I understand they protect you so I will not destroy
them.”
    She frowned at that. Taking them
back, she slipped her sunshades into her pocket to protect them in case he
changed his mind. No fucking way was she going to let him destroy her
sunshades. She was ready to blast him with censure, but was distracted when he
smiled down at her, flashing his fangs as he did.
    “I am curious about something…”
Xavier said, stepping even closer so she had to tilt her head back to maintain
eye contact with him.
    She tried to calm her rapidly
beating heart as she fought the urge to step back. His closeness didn’t
frighten her, but she was afraid she might jump him if he got any closer. Her
hands trembled with the desire to touch him. His scent was intoxicating and his
powerful body made her want to rub herself against him. Shaking off the
feeling, she tried to smile at him. “Please, feel free to ask whatever you
want. I will answer whatever I can for you while you are visiting. That’s why
I’m here.”
    The others moved as one so they
were effectively blocking her in, making her eyes widen and her pulse speed up.
Excitement mixed with apprehension as she felt Thorn at her back while the
others stood at her sides. She’d never felt so small and feminine before, and
became all too aware that she was alone with four of the largest males she had
ever seen.
    Her heart thudded in her chest
and her knees grew weak as their emotions swamped her with lust too powerful
