My little brother already saluting her beauty from inside my denim. I scanned her body with my eyes and shuddered with a feeling of raw lust and the a...imal in me, woke up. I covered my feelings and sat in front of her pulling a chair. She was saying something, but I could barely hear it. My eyes got tangled in her tight milky white cleavage. The tight white sleeveless top did a poor job in hiding her beauty. I mumbled to myself, “Aaj rath ke baad, itna tight kabhi nahi rahegi”She observed it. On every trip to L.A., I tried to spend some time there, to unwind, to delight in the stunning visual setting. On this June afternoon, I smiled to myself as the combination of nature and art again worked its magic on me. Suddenly, my reverie was broken. ‘Hallie!’ I heard a man’s voice behind me, with a slight Slavic accent, calling my name. No! That can’t be… In spite of the years since I had heard that voice, I immediately knew who it was, not so much for what I heard with my ears, but from. I was the first up surprisingly and when the time that the women had been forcing me out of bed came and went I decided to check on them.Anna was doing her cat routine and was curled around a pillow and snuggled under the sheets. Mari was spooned behind her with Katherine spooning Mari. I was trying to figure out who to wake when Mari raised her head and cracked an eye at me. I mimicked weightlifting and she shook her head. I stood looking at her, she looked at me for a few seconds longer,. "What the fuck? The alarm's gone!"Trust Melinda to state the obvious. Shaking her head, Alicia poured her full concentration on the displays before her. Windows opened and closed quickly, hands dancing over the controls."Energy reading ... gone." She blinked. "Daium ... check your readings." There was a pause."I ... see nothing." Yeah ... um, Anthony?" Talk to me." We just had all energy signals from the planet vanish."The Bells dropped down through the atmosphere, passing through thin layers.
