" The President then began quietly crying. "I feel so damn guilty that I put them in this position, this position where they now have to be especially...careful that someone may try to kill them in order to get at me."Steve stopped the wheelchair outside of Sara Lehrer's room and moved in front of the President, putting his arm around her while she cried into his shoulder for a moment. "Kathy, you had no way of knowing this would happen," he whispered to her."But I should have had the Secret. The main part of the beast looked like a huge loogey someone had spat out. It had about thirty eyes, all deep set, moving independently of each other.If it had been only the one part of the beast, they might have been able to win the battle quickly.

Hunter had been bitten once and the pain had been excruciating.He forced himself up and back into the fight, dodging. I tiptoed to the door, opened it, but stopped to look at him again. I can’t leave…. I whisper ”Steven”- no response. I walk quietly to his bed, heart pounding. I took off his hoodie, my shirt, pants, bra and panties, I don't know what came over me but damn it I just needed him. I get in bed with him and roll on top of his stomach to the other side of the bed. I realize he’s clothesless when I get under the covers and he rolls over against me but still asleepThis was not how I envisioned this. My EX-lover kept her foot where it was. That waswhen I heard the front door opening. My muscles tensed and I felt thestrain on my back in that unnatural position. But Meredith didn'trelent. We could hear June and Chuck.My wife said, "That was amazing, lover. I can't wait to get togetheragain." What about your freaky husband?" he wanted to know."What about him?" She laughed softly. "He still has his own sexlife... with his soft girly hand."They kissed loudly and wetly enough that we could.
