rested on the couch cushion closest to her knee, and he watched her with so much emotion her stomach clenched. He seemed to be the more relaxed of the two with an easy smile and lines around his eyes and mouth indicating he laughed a lot. There was something about him that made Dara want to curl up on his lap.
    Eden on the other hand, clenched his fingers on the cushions gripping it until the fabric tore. His chest was tight and the muscles in his arms strained against the fabric of his shirt. It was as if he carried the weight of the world on his shoulders, and though he spoke in calm tones she could hear the underlining tension.
    “What’s not happening?”
    Dara shook her head. “Nothing is happening. This is just too weird. For weeks I’ve been freakin’ out. I knew I was being followed, but how come I never saw you?”
    “We’re good at blending in,” Dix answered, “and if we don’t want to be seen we aren’t.”
    “We didn’t mean to scare you. We knew you weren’t ready for us then,” Eden said a bit calmer.
    “Ready for you?” she asked and her voice squeaked. She had an idea where this was going, and if she was right, her wish was going to come true after all.
    Eden nodded. “You feel it.” His lifted a hand edging it towards her like he worried she would freak out. She gulped as his large palm flattened against her chest. He didn’t touch her intimately, but the heat coming from the tips of his fingers soaked through her body. Her heart skipped a beat and her jaw went slack. No touch had ever felt better.
    Licking her lips she nodded. “Why do I feel this way?” She stared at Eden until she felt another warm hand on her thigh. Okay so she was wrong, his touch was just as enticing as Eden’s. She looked over at Dix and gasped. He watched her with such a fierce hunger she gulped, and it didn’t escape her notice how his eyes tracked her every move.
    ‘They want me, but why?’
    “Because you’re ours,” Dix said.
    She hadn’t realized she said that out loud. “Yours?”
    “Yes,” he said bringing his hand up to her cheek. One finger grazed her jaw and drew a path from her neck to the dip between her breasts. Her nipples tingled and hardened from his touch.
    She hadn’t even realized Eden had moved his hand from her chest to her waist. His thumb rubbed small circles on her lower back in a comforting move, but she shivered as desire shot up her spine.
    “We need you, and you need us. It’s fate,” Eden said. Their arousal was building, and she knew they weren’t lying, but she didn’t understand how it was possible.
    “How?” she asked then moaned when Dix cupped her breast through her shirt. He rubbed his thumb across her nipple and her skin flushed from their touch. Her temperature spiked until she felt feverish. Her body was on fire for them. They were really there, touching her, and this time she could see them because the niggling thought in her head told her that these were the men who had been starring in her nighttime eroticism.
    She recognized their touch. The feel of their fingers sliding along her bare skin, light and enticing. Sensual touches to build her up for release, yet in her dreams it never came, and she wondered if it would be different now that she wasn’t dreaming anymore. How this was possible she wasn’t sure, but she knew she’d somehow been with them in her subconscious.
    Dix groaned and his eyes fluttered shut when her nipple hardened and the sound of her moan seemed to snap him out of his stupor.
    He dropped is hand back to the cushion. “Sorry,” he mumbled. Then he sat on the couch pulling her onto the middle cushion. Eden took the other side and they flanked her. Sitting between them both felt right. She had never felt so safe in her entire life, but she had a feeling what they were about to tell her was going to change her whole life.

    Eden’s energy and arousal was amped up higher than Dix had ever felt it. The
