in on them she thought she would die with embarrassment, but she had seen a flash of heated desire cross both their faces. Though they’d wiped their expressions when they noticed her watching them, she thought that those looks must mean something.
    Are they really all attracted to me?
    The thought excited her, but when she reached the living room and saw Bronsin and Stedman waiting for her, watching her heatedly, she felt slightly nervous. What could they want to talk about?
    “Come and sit down, baby.” Stedman patted the seat beside him on the sofa.
    Alicia sat down, and Ward sat in the armchair across from her. Bronsin, who had been sitting on the coffee table, moved to sit on the other side of her on the sofa.
    “First off, how is your hand?” Bronsin inquired.
    “A lot better since I had those painkillers.”
    “Baby, Bronsin and I are sorry we embarrassed you by walking in on you and Ward, but when we heard you cry out, we thought you had hurt yourself.”
    Alicia lowered her eyes as her cheeks heated yet again. She hated having fair skin which turned pink every time she got embarrassed.
    “Honey.” Ward’s voice drew her gaze toward him. “I told you that we are all attracted to you. What you may not realize is that we would all like to be in a relationship with you.”
    Alicia’s heart stuttered, and she gulped in air. This was why she had stayed. The hope that eventually these three men would show they liked her as much as she liked them. She tamped down the hope because for some reason she knew they weren’t finished talking yet.
    “Baby, there is so much you don’t know about us. But you need to know that we want to have you by our sides and in our beds more than anything.”
    “If you have feelings for me and have all along, why did you keep them hidden?”
    “We’re getting to that, darlin’. Just be patient a little longer, okay?” Bronsin pushed a stray strand of hair away from her face.
    “Okay. I’m listening.”
    Stedman began to explain.
    “You already know that the Elite Dragons fight evildoers like the men who kidnapped you, Janie, and Brooke. But you don’t know how we do that. All twelve of us are part of an experimental government program. We were injected with all kinds of drugs to enhance our abilities.”
    Alicia’s mind was going a hundred miles an hour. “What drugs?” she squeaked out.
    Ward snorted. “Ones with long names. Not even Wolf can wrap his mouth around them, and he deals with medical crap all day.”
    “As a result,” Stedman went on, “we’re stronger and faster than the average human male. Our senses are more acute, and we’re empathetic.”
    Alicia was dumbfounded. “I’ve been living with you for months!” she blurted.
    “No one knows except our fellow team members, our bosses, and now Janie and Brooke,” Ward said.
    “We need you to help keep our secret, baby,” Bronsin added.
    “Of course I will.” Her astonishment began to give way to awe. These three men and the rest of the Elite Dragons team were so dedicated to their country they had volunteered to be guinea pigs for the government.
    “Do you have any questions, darlin’?” Stedman asked.
    Alicia processed the information, silently going over what Stedman had explained. One word kept popping in her head. Empathetic . When she lifted her head, she glanced from one brother to the other, finally letting her eyes stop on Stedman.
    “You can read my mind?”
    “It’s more like reading emotions. Fear, anger, joy, that kind of thing, but we’ve never used our empathetic abilities on you. We have an unwritten code to only use that ability when on the job.”
    “At all other times,” Bronsin said, “we keep up mental shields. If we let others’ emotions in all the time, it’d be exhausting.”
    “Are you allowed to be telling me all this?” Alicia asked, her mind racing. Another question occurred to her before any of them could answer. “Is that how you were able to catch me so
