don’t believe you. I don’t have time to waste with this.” She
    stood and tried to tug free of Samiel’s loose hold. She didn’t know if they were playing
    some kind of game, but this was getting old fast.
    Samiel’s grip tightened and he tugged her back to the bed. “Sit down.”
    In spite of the growled order, she continued standing. This was outrageous. Did
    they actually expect her to accept what they said as fact? Anger rose. She reached up
    and grabbed Samiel’s hand. Her nails sank into his skin as she pried at his fingers. She
    couldn’t budge his grip and that only made her angrier. She glared at him.
    “Sit down.” Samiel spaced the two words precisely. His voice had hardened even
    more.

    He reinforced the order by standing. She took a deep breath and gritted her teeth.
    The man had domineering down to an art. Dealing with him on a long-term basis
    would push anyone’s control. She didn’t plan on dealing with him for long. Definitely
    not permanently. She sat, hoping to get this talk finished. She had work to do and
    arguing with him wasn’t helping.
    “Well, get it over with. I told you I was busy.” She jerked against Samiel’s hold just
    to reinforce the fact that she wanted to be released.
    “We’re not lying to you. Tell me, is the attraction you feel for us just normal
    attraction or is it more intense?” Jaeson asked. His gold eyes flashed with annoyance.
    The attraction was intense. She’d admit that. Was the intensity normal or more than
    that? She couldn’t say if it was normal or more than that. They were both handsome
    and in spite of their arrogance there was something that did pull her to both of them.
    And it was the “both” that surprised her. She’d never been attracted to two men at the
    same time.
    “Look just because I’m attracted to you doesn’t mean you’re my mates. It doesn’t
    mean anything except that you’re both very sexy.” She put her free hand on the bed
    beside her.
    “For now, forget about the long-term aspect. You can confirm we’re telling the truth
    later when you’re doing your research.” Samiel ran his thumb up and down the inner
    skin of her wrist.
    She’d never considered her inner wrist one of the more sensitive parts of her body,
    but that light touch sent tingles sizzling up her arm and straight to her core. She
    swallowed heavily and tried to ignore the sensation. He seemed determined to distract
    her. She wasn’t going to let him do that.
    “Just because I’m attracted to you, I’m not going to have sex with both of you.” If
    she could have, she’d have crossed her arms and glared at them. She settled for
    frowning at him since he wasn’t releasing her wrist.
    “We don’t expect you to have sex with us right now, Meagan. We wouldn’t push
    you away if you were willing, but it’s probably a little soon for you to be that
    accepting.” Jaeson smiled wickedly and his body angled toward hers. “We only want to
    touch you, to get to know you a little and then you can return to your coven.”
    His eyes dropped to the curved rise of her breasts. The heat in his eyes sparked a
    response in her body. She could tell just from that look that he wanted more than just a
    little touching. She looked over at Samiel. His brown eyes glittered and his thumb
    rubbed in gentle circles on her wrist. She could smell their scents, each distinctive. They
    seemed to wrap around her, but one of them sent excitement pulsing through her. The
    dragon’s musky sent had a spicy bite that she couldn’t quite identify. She didn’t have
    that problem with Jaeson. Just sitting next to him was like walking in a forest in the fall
    when the bark of the cabar tree was peeled. She loved the spicy, earthy smell before the
    bark was dried and ground.

    “And touching me is supposed to help me get to know you. My guess is that once
    you touch there won’t be much talking done at all.” She shook her head. At least
