With no more patients on the horizon, Bailey and I locked up the Clinic and headed toward the cafeteria. Even though it was the afternoon, it was still early. So, we were sure that they hadn't locked down the place to prepare for dinner yet. "So, when would you like to begin our training?" As we stepped into the cafeteria, I saw I was right; the buffet was still open. I took a plate, handed it to Bailey, and then took one for myself, too. Bailey shrugged, stepping up in line. "Today, if you like."My eyes nearly bugged out of my head. "Seriously? You're not too tired?"She chuckled as she slipped a piece of rotisserie chicken onto her plate and then moved down. "I'm a shifter. I don't get tired or sore, not unless it's something serious." She shrugged. "And now that you're a shifter, you won't either."A smile lit my lips as I took a huge piece of rotisserie chicken, and then another. I had never eaten so much in my life, but for some reason, I was famished. "And I won't age either?"

"Hello?" I asked when I walked in. "Is anyone here?""Hello." A man dressed in black pants with a white chef's coat and hat stepped around the corner. "I am Chef Fabrizio Lo Faso, your chef for this evening," he said in a thick Italian accent. "Please. Come right this way."When I walked into the dining room, the table was beautifully set, covered in a white tablecloth with fine white china, and two white taper candles in crystal holders flickered on the table, casting romantic shadows around the room.Both Elias and Xander stood, dressed in black suits with what looked to be black muscle shirts beneath, looking as sexy as ever. Their hair was combed to perfection, and they both smelled divine, like musk and rain.Xander approached, reaching for my hand. "Welcome." He lifted my hand to his lips and kissed it, then he tucked it in his arm and led me to the table. Elias held my chair. "You look fantastic." He slid the chair under me and kissed my cheek while inhaling my scent. "What's

In my suite, I looked at the clock and knew I had missed practice. But getting to spend quality time with my men was worth it. I quickly jumped into the shower and then dressed in my work scrubs and donned my nurse's shoes. Then I ran a brush through my hair and headed down the hallway. I was in the elevator when I realized I had forgotten my cell phone, but I didn't need it anyway. So, I headed toward the Clinic. "You missed practice today."I cringed, for leaning against the wall was Sasha."Sasha, what do you want?" I asked, folding my arms over my chest. She stepped closer. "I just thought you could show me that neat trick of yours." She shrugged. "You know the one... when you pushed the air and sent Eve and me flying backward." She tilted her head to the side, mimicking my position. I shrugged, smiling without humor. "I don't know. I think I want to learn the one where you pinned my head to the ground with your paw on my neck."A low guttural growl erupted from deep within her

"Well, it's about time you two came out here," Xander teased, popping our plates into the microwave one at a time. "Everything's getting cold."I smirked, taking over. "I think you lived.""Madame!" He threw a hand dramatically to his chest. "I am mortally wounded!"Elias and I laughed."Don't quit your day job," I teased, handing Elias his plate. Then I glanced up at Xander. "Would you like me to reheat yours, too?""No, but thanks." He laughed. "Mine didn't stand a chance! I was starving."I smirked. "Yeah. I can really see that." Although there was no fat on him at all, he had muscles for days and there was no chance of him starving to death.Xander looked between us. "So, are you too good?"I looked over at Elias and smiled. "We're good."Elias smirked, his eyes meeting mine. "Yeah, we're aces."I rolled my eyes, taking my plate to the table."So, why don't you two finish eating, and I'll pop some popcorn?" Xander asked, setting his dinner plate in the sink."Sounds good," Elias re

After I finished my witch training, I hurried to the Clinic, not wanting to leave Bailey alone for too long. Even though she could handle anything, it wasn't fair for me to lean on her too much either.But for once, I got there first. Since I had a few minutes to myself, I cleaned and sanitized everything when a man walked in pushing a cart loaded with boxes. "May I help you?" I asked, approaching the man. He didn't look up from his clipboard. "I have a delivery here for Dr. Kalyssa Carran.""I'm Dr. Carran," I said, smiling. It was the first delivery we had received since we opened the Clinic, and there was a lot we needed. After making a list, I had given it to Elias. He must have ordered everything on the list right away... and more."Please sign here, doctor." He held out the clipboard, and I signed where he had indicated. He tore off the top sheet and handed it to me. "Here you go! Have a nice day! See you next week!"He headed toward the door, but I stopped him. "Next week?"He
