said something stupid, like, Can I sit on your face?  Or before she did something stupid, like tear off her clothes.  She wasn’t sure she had ever been more attracted to any men before in her life.
     
    Musing on the whole scene, she carried her suitcase to the ladies’ locker room to brush her teeth and wash her face.  Maybe it was because she hadn’t had sex in a few months.  The gym smelled like men.  Not in a bad way, it was just a really wonderful masculine smell that was making her wolf prance around in her head.  She thought it was more than just a lack of sex that was making her libido go nuts, though.  It was probably because they were so nice.  Unlike the pack males, who only cared about sex, and had never seen her as more than a booty call.  They wouldn’t have known if she was homeless and starving, or probably cared, unless the alpha told them to care about it.  It didn’t hurt that the brothers were gorgeous and exactly the sorts of men that got her motor going.  But they were brothers, and that meant choosing one of them over the others, and since they all worked together and she had just started working there, well, she needed to get her head out of her ass and forget about them.
     
    She could do this.  She looked at herself in the mirror, barely recognizing the girl there, even though she liked what she saw.  A twenty-six year-old brunette with her whole life ahead of her.  On her own, without a pack.
     
    With great determination, she put Cairo, Mason, and Dante firmly in the ‘friend’ box in her mind, and reminded her whining wolf that just because they were a wolf, didn’t mean they had to be an animal.

    “How did you sleep last night?”  Cairo woke Dante up when he unlocked the doors and turned off the security system at six.  Dante had been uncomfortable leaving Alyssa alone in the gym all night, even though he knew it was perfectly safe.
     
    “Like hell.”  He stood up from his desk chair and stretched, groaning at the crick in his neck.  He’d tried to get comfortable, but it had been a loose definition of the word, leaning back in the chair with his feet propped up on the desk.  He’d have been better off sleeping on the boxing ring floor.  At least that was lightly padded.  But then, he hadn’t wanted her to know that he was there, in case she thought he was trying to get something out of her.
     
    He would bet a large amount of money that the reason she’d left her pack had something to do with her treatment.  From what he understood about most wolf packs, unless the female wolf was a mate to a male, she was more property than person, to be used when urges struck and tossed aside just as easily.  Even though he wanted to deny it, he did think she was special, but he was trying to be the voice of reason for them.  He just didn’t want to rush into things with another woman again, and watch his brothers be hurt.  Mason was already smitten with Alyssa after just a few hours with her.  And Cairo was no better.
     
    “I’m going to head home and grab some sleep.  I’ll be back around lunch to take her out to a few of the apartment complexes.”  He turned off the computer and rummaged in the top drawer of the desk for his keys.
     
    “See ya.”
     
    He grabbed Cairo’s arm as his brother turned away.  “You guys need to back off with Alyssa.  Something happened that made her leave her home pack, and for a female, I don’t think that’s normal.  If you push her too fast, she might spook and take off.”
     
    His eyes narrowed.  “I didn’t do anything to her.”
     
    “I know that.  But I already see your brain working when it comes to her.  I know you’re lonely, Cai, we all are, but rushing forward isn’t going to accomplish anything.  Give her time to get to know us before you do anything stupid.”
     
    He gave him a wry smile.  “I wasn’t planning to do anything stupid;
