“It was my pleasure.” She smiled dreamily at him as she panted for breath. “Give me a few minutes then we can go for round two.”
Galan chuckled as he rubbed his nose against her cheek. He breathed deep, loving the scent of her skin. He could sense the changes beginning within her and knew she would need healing sleep to help her complete the conversion her body needed to go through to make her like them.
Alexis looked around at the three men sitting on the side of the bed then back up at Galan who was still braced over her and laughed.
“What is so funny, mate?” Thorn asked, reaching out to stroke his hand over her hair.
“Jesus, you guys are huge. I think we need a bigger bed. I think we broke this one, or is the room tilting?”
The males all chuckled. “Aye, we did break it,” Galan agreed. “The bed was not meant to hold our combined weight.”
“This will be so much fun to explain to the cleaning crew.” Alexis groaned as Galan slowly pulled his cock out of her, shifting off of her. Sprawled out in front of all four of her mates should have made her feel self-conscious, but she didn’t have the energy to worry about that. Hell, she didn’t even have the energy to move at all.
“Rest easy, mate. Let us care for you.”
Ah, the blood bond thing. Alexis could feel all four males inside her head…and in her heart. They belonged to her now.
“Aye, we are yours. Forever,” Xavier vowed. “As you belong to us.”
With that thought, she closed her eyes and drifted off with a smile on her face.

Chapter Seven
“What the fuck?”
Alexis jackknifed up in bed, slamming her hands over her ears as she woke with a start. She could hear her own heart beating like a damn drum in her head, not to mention the various sounds coming from outside sounded like they were coming from right inside the bedroom.
Thorn gently eased her back down onto the bed, rubbing at her bare arms in comfort. “Rest easy, mate. Your senses are heightened now. Just imagine turned down a dial in your mind, and it will go back to normal.”
She closed her eyes and focused on turning down the volume in her head and was surprised when it actually worked. When she opened her eyes again she saw that it was daylight and both Thorn and Xavier were looking down at her with amusement flashing in their glowing eyes.
Her own eyes narrowed in response. “You think this is funny?”
“Aye, mate, and a good rising to you as well,” Xavier said as he leaned down to brush his lips against hers.
When he tried to push into her with his tongue she resisted. “Morning breath,” she muttered, trying to keep her lips sealed. He chuckled then her eyes widened as the clean taste of mint flooded her mouth. “Oh, wow.”
“You have only to ask and we will provide, mate,” Xavier murmured before he sealed his mouth over hers, his tongue delving deep.
“I think I can really get used to you and your magic. Talk about convenience in a rock hard package!” she said with a wink. Xavier chuckled then growled as her hand trailed down to stroke over his erection, gripping him.
“We cannot linger,” Thorn said from his side of the bed, his voice filled with regret. “Galan and Brydan are already anxiously waiting.”
Xavier let out a deep sigh. “Aye, I know. How do you feel this rising, little one?”
As both males watched her, Alexis stretched on the bed like a contented feline, making them groan as their cocks swelled. “I feel great. What?” she asked as they continued to eye her as if they were waiting for something. “What’s wrong?”
“You feel no different?” Xavier asked carefully.
Alexis paused as she took mental stock of herself. She figured after taking all four of them last night she would have woken up sore as hell. Their cocks were massive and she was so much smaller than them, but she didn’t feel the slightest amount of discomfort now. In fact, she felt wonderful, better than she had ever felt before. She was mated to four gorgeous Dragon Warriors now and she was now…
Oh, holy shit!
She stilled. “Galan said something about a conversion last night. Am I like you now?”
“Aye, you are,” Thorn confirmed. “We thought it best to put you in a healing sleep while your body went through the changes.”
She gaped at them. “What changes exactly?”
Thorn and Xavier glanced at each other and she knew they were speaking to each other through their own bond. She could feel the energy hum over her skin like a small power surge. Reaching out, she yanked hard one of the small braids they both wore on the sides of their temples.
“Alexis!” Thorn gasped as Xavier growled in pain.
“Stop talking to each other and answer me! I can feel you talking and it’s making me uncomfortable.”
That got their immediate attention. “What do you mean by uncomfortable?”
“I feel it,” she huffed out. She could feel both of them weren’t satisfied with her answer then felt both of them linking to her through their blood bonds. Damn, she was going to have to get used to them being in her head now.
Talk about a serious lack of personal space!
Thorn leaned in and kissed her lightly as if in apology. “You will become accustomed to it. Being merged with us will become as natural as breathing.”
“I don’t think so,” she muttered. She was a woman with four very powerful, very pushy mates. There was no way she was ever going to feel comfortable with them popping in and out of her head.
Xavier sighed. “You will have privacy if you wish it, but we need to know what you are feeling to best care for you.”
“You could always just ask me, you know,” she grumbled, still not convinced.
“Aye, we could, but you must also answer us,” Xavier countered. “We were not aware that your gifts of empathy would make you sensitive enough to feel us speaking through our bond and needed to know exactly what it was doing to you to ensure you were not in pain.”
Fair enough, he had a point. “It wasn’t pain, I could just sense you were speaking.”
“Aye, we sensed what you felt,” Thorn said with a nod. “We have converted you and you are now like us. The change has healed your body fully and you will be able to adjust all of your senses at your will. Lights will no longer bother you so there will be no need for your eye coverings when we are outdoors.”
Xavier placed his hand over her stomach. “You are also healed here.”
She placed her hand over his, holding it to her as she closed her eyes. Joy filled her and her eyes flooded with tears as she took a moment to fully appreciate the gift she had been given. Xavier and Thorn cuddled close to her so she was surrounded by both of them and they kissed away the tears that leaked out of her eyes.
“Do not weep, my love,” Thorn whispered. “As we said, you have only to ask and we will provide.”
Alexis opened her eyes and stared up at him with all the love she was feeling. And she did love these males. Somehow, she had fallen in love with Thorn, Xavier, Galan and Brydan, and she was so damn happy that they were mated. She finally belonged somewhere, after being alone for so long.
“You will never be alone again,” Xavier said softly.
“Thank you,” she whispered as she caressed Xavier’s cheek before she pressed her lips to his. When she was done she turned her head and did the same to Thorn.
“Your pleasure is ours,” Xavier said solemnly. Alexis wanted to kiss him again, but a voice in her head stopped her.
“Our mate wants to shower in the ways of her people,” Brydan said in their heads, interrupting the moment. “If you do not take her into the shower right now, Galan and I would be more than happy to do so. Our meal is almost prepared and we will not wait much longer to see our mate.”
“He is, how would you say it? Not a morning person,” Thorn said dryly.
Alexis laughed as she sat up in bed. She realized that her body was completely clean and sometime during the night th
ey had also fixed the bed they had broken. Their magic really was kick-ass, but she still did want to take a shower. Even if it wasn’t necessary, it was one of those morning rituals that she enjoyed and didn’t want to stop.
“Then we shall shower with you,” Xavier offered as he lifted her from the bed easily, carrying her into the bathroom.
Alexis tapped him on the shoulder, wanting to be put down as soon as they were inside the large bathroom. “Why don’t you start the shower while I take care of…” She pointed toward the small separate room that housed the toilet. Both Thorn and Xavier smirked at her.
“We are your mates, there is nothing you should hide from us.”
“This is so not something we are going to be discussing. Ever. Now, go,” she ordered, shooing them away with a wave of her hand as she closed the door behind her. She waited until she heard the sound of running water before she took care of her business and flushed. When she came out, Thorn walked in after her, not closing the door while he took care of his morning needs. She hurried away and rolled her eyes as she heard him laughing at her.
She absently glanced at herself in the mirror as she passed by it on her way to the shower and stopped dead in her tracks.
What the hell?
Gaping at herself in shock she barely noticed that Thorn was walking up behind her as Xavier took his place in the small adjacent room. She didn’t say anything as she continued to stare at herself in the mirror, blinking in disbelief.
“You are…distressed,” Thorn finally said as Xavier came to stand beside him.
“You think?” she growled out.
What the hell did they think? That she would just be okay the first time she saw that her eyes were freaking glowing? Her eyes had already been an unusual bright violet color, but now? Hell, they were glowing violet, like two fucking purple stars…just like theirs.
“This—” she growled, pointing to her eyes “—is what you should have said when I asked you about what freaking changes were made to my body. We really need to work on your communications skill, because they obviously suck!”
She stomped away from the mirror and entered the large shower enclosure, letting the hot water soothe her irritation. Apparently all males, human or not, had the spectacular ability to piss women off. She hadn’t really thought about all the changes that would happen to her when she allowed them to change her and she didn’t regret it. Still, it was going to take some getting used to and it would have helped if they warned her before her eyes started glowing or her hearing went all wacky.
What else could she look forward to discovering about herself?
Alexis felt Thorn and Xavier enter behind her and was able to ignore them until she felt their large hands stroking over her skin. Opening one eye under the spray, she looked at their somber faces.
“Forgive us, mate. We did not realize it would upset you so,” Thorn said.
She sighed. Of course they wouldn’t think there was anything wrong since they were so used to being what they were. She couldn’t seem to hold onto her annoyance with them stroking body-wash all over her. She gave into the pleasure as she stood under the gentle spray of water, allowing them to care for her.
Thorn stood behind her, rubbing shampoo in her hair and his fascination with the bubbles made her want to giggle. They informed her that on their ship they had water from their homeworld that both cleansed and healed them so they had no need for shampoo or soap. Xavier took his time massaging her breasts until they were full and aching, her nipples tight peaks that poked into the center of his large palms. She knew they didn’t have time for another round of love play in the shower, but she wanted to touch them, to fill the need she had to explore their perfect bodies.
She grabbed the bottle of body-wash and poured some of the creamy liquid into the palm of her hand, eyeing Xavier’s gorgeous body as he knelt in front of her, cleaning her legs and feet with long, sure strokes. She still couldn’t believe these males were truly hers. Xavier was like some mythical god, all hard muscles under golden skin. The dark lines of their tattoos made her hands ache to touch them. She wanted to run her hands all over their strong bodies, and even better, trace those lines with her tongue.
She smiled to herself. There would be time for that. They belonged to her now and she’d have plenty of time to explore their bodies to her heart’s content. She didn’t just have one perfect male, she had four.
Damn, she was a lucky girl.
“I think I’ve figured it out.”
Xavier stood at her statement and cocked his head in question. Giving into her need, she reach out and stroked her hand over Xavier’s thick cock, making his freeze.
“What have you figured out, my love?”
Alexis smiled at Thorn’s nickname for her and squeezed tighter on Xavier’s shaft, making him groan. She found she was fascinated by their large cocks and loved to touch them whenever she could. She could spend hours stroking them with her hands, sucking them, or even just feeling them pressed against her skin so she could feel them pulsing to the rhythm of their hearts. But most of all, she loved feeling them inside her, sliding deep in her pussy or ass until they spurted their hot seed inside her.
“I cannot concentrate while you are playing with my cock, mate,” Xavier growled. “And those thoughts are going to get you fucked again then Galan and Brydan will kill us for making them wait longer.”
Alexis laughed as she leaned back, letting Thorn wash the shampoo out of her hair. Damn, she couldn’t seem to remember the whole mind meld thing. It was strange how comfortable she felt with both of them standing in the shower naked. But then again, she had a feeling she was going to have to get used to them pretty damn quick with four extremely large, very alpha males slipping in and out of her head.
Having them in her mind was more intimate than anything she had ever experienced before, and she didn’t think she could describe it to someone even if she tried. It was like becoming a part of someone else, and sharing herself with all four of them got easier with every passing minute despite her reservations.
Even if it was weird having them in her head, she loved having access to their minds. The blood bond thing sure helped with trying to figure out the complexities of deciphering the male psyche.
Feeling Xavier’s pleasure, she continued to move her hand over his cock with slow, steady stroked then shifted to grab Thorn’s with her other hand. His hands stilled in the process of rubbing the conditioner into her hair. Looking at both of them, she rubbed her thumbs over the ridges under the head of their cocks enjoying their reactions to her touch. She tilted her head back, allowing the water to wash the cream out of her hair and smiled as they both groaned when her breasts jutted out from her stance.
“What was I saying? Oh yes, I think I figured out the whole mating thing without the blood bond,” she said, watching how their eyes glowed with unbridled lust. For her. It was all for her and she could not only sense it with her empathic powers, but she could also feel it through their bond. Every stroke over their shafts brought waves of pleasure to them, and in turn, feeling their emotions stroked her own fire curling in her belly.
“I think the bond your race creates—”
“Your race as well,” Thorn corrected her. “You are one of us now.”
“Yes, I am, aren’t I?” She smiled at them. “I think the bond you created with me started when you came inside me that first time. When I had sex with you and Galan—”
Xavier growled. “We made love to our mate.”
She rolled her eyes. “I wasn’t your mate yet. But you made me so when you filled me with your cum.”
“Aye, we filled you,” Xavier growled, his glowing silver eyes burning even brighter as he remembered back to that first time he took her. He was having trouble thinking as their mate stroked his straining flesh. He was delighted at the pleasure she took from touching him and Thorn, and he would always welcome her hands on him. Feeling the enjoyment she took from having her hand on him had a rush sweepin
g through him that brought him closer to the point of climax.
He had underestimated her talent as an empath, and he didn’t know if she understood how that power had grown when they had converted her. Instead of simply absorbing the emotions coming from him and Thorn, she was merging those feelings with her own and sending them back to them through their bond tenfold.
“We have never released our seed into any other female we have taken over these long years before you,” Thorn explained, his thought clouded with the need for release. He sucked his breath in harshly as Alexis’ grip tightened on him.
“It’s bad form to speak of sleeping with another woman when I have my hands on your junk,” she growled viciously at Thorn, making him wince.
“I did not mean it like that, my love.”
Logic told her it was true, but she didn’t care. She was determined to make it so they couldn’t even think about another woman while they were with her. She stroked them harder, moving up and down their thick shafts with ruthless determination. “Your pleasure belongs to me now,” she snarled.
“Aye, mate,” Xavier growled back.
“It does,” Thorn swore.
Primal need filled her now. She wanted, needed to show them that they were hers just as she belonged to them. In a shocking display of possession, she worked her hands back and forth faster until she coaxed their climax from them so their hot seed shot onto her stomach, coating her with their essence. They growled in unison as their cocks swelled and both Xavier and Thorn palmed their own shafts around hers, helping to milk every drop from them as they let her control their pleasure.
Emotions converged inside her and she felt overloaded. Stars burst behind her eyes as she felt her own orgasm rock her body, her clit pulsing with each spurt of their cum so they came together in glorious release. The pearly liquid ran down her body, mixing with the water pouring over her as shame struck. She pulled her hands away, but before she could turn from them Xavier took her mouth in a brutal kiss.
“You have nothing to feel shame for, little one. Our pleasure does belong to you and I have no issue with you showing us whenever you wish,” Xavier said through their bond.
