for the
distraction. “You’ll be too busy with your new unit to miss me.” She turned to
look up at the men at her side. “Skylar used to be a liaison officer, but she
just transferred to the interrogation unit.”
    “What is that?” Galan asked.
    Skylar smiled. “We investigate
crimes. It’s going to be so exciting. I can’t wait to start, but I can’t help
wishing you were coming with me.”
    Xavier frowned. “This
interrogation unit sounds dangerous. I would not want Alexis doing anything
that could put her in peril.”
    “And you think being a liaison
for alien races never puts liaison officers in danger?” Skylar laughed. “Lexie,
you should tell them some of the more exciting stories…especially the one about
the Reema group last month. Boy, were they a pushy bunch.”
    Alexis flushed at the memory then
paled as she felt a flood of rage coming from the men so strong it almost
brought her to her knees. The sensation was so much stronger since she was
touching them that she hadn’t been prepared for the rush of feelings. Gasping,
she found herself  in Galan’s strong arms, the front of their bodies plastered
together as he held her up.
    “What is it, sweetling? Are you
unwell?”
    “No, I’m fine,” she lied. Her
senses were calmed by the concern she felt from him, but the steel-hard spike
of his erection pressing against her had her freaking out for a completely
different reason. Reminding herself they were on a street where anyone could be
watching her unprofessional behavior, she took a deep breath and fought the
urge to hump his leg to gain some relief.
    “Please put me down.”
    Galan’s jaw clenched, but he did
as she asked, holding onto her as her feet touched the ground. “I believe I
should carry you to your domicile.”
    “I’m fine, really.” Alexis found
herself rubbing her hands on his arms. She told herself it was to soothe him
and not just because she wanted to touch him. Feeling the waves of pleasure
coming from him, she smiled shyly before stepping back only to bump into
Xavier. He stroked a hand over her hair and the gentle touch made her want to
purr with pleasure.
    Holy jump drives, what was wrong
with her?
    “Ah, Alexis? Could I have a
minute?”
    “Sure,” Alexis said, blushing at
her behavior. With her head down she excused herself from the two Dragon
Warriors then walked a few feet away with her friend.
    “What the hell is going on? First
of all, those are two of the hottest men I have ever seen, and honey, they are
all over you,” Skylar said in a rush. “Go, Lex!”
    “I don’t know what is happening
to me,” Alexis groaned. “Ever since I met them I’ve been unable to control
myself. And it’s not just these two. There are two more back at the suite.”
    “Four? Seriously? You lucky
bitch,” Skylar hissed as she grinned.
    “Sky, I can’t. You know I would
get fired if I let anything happen. And I don’t think I can be around them
anymore without something happening. I can’t seem to control myself around
them.”
    Sympathy clouded Skylar’s eyes
then they took on a speculative gleam. “Why the hell should you control
yourself? No one has to know. And it’s not like you’d be the first officer to
indulge a little. Plus, you deserve some happiness after what those assholes
put you through. Don’t hold back just because of the job.”
    “You think? I mean, I feel that
they want me, but I don’t know if it’s me or they just want to be with a human
woman.”
    “I don’t think that’s it. They
barely looked at me when I joined you, and I’m sensing some crazy shit coming
from you guys. When I came over, their energy was surrounding you, and yours
was merging with theirs. It still is. It’s like their energy is reaching for
you even though we are standing over here. And honey, they are watching you
like they want to eat you alive. I say, let them.”
    Alexis shivered at the image that
generated in her head. She wanted them with a passion
