”I walked back out to the living room with my drink. “When do your parents get home?”Jeana gave me a big smile. “Not for another couple of hou...s! Would you like to see downstairs?” She grabbed my hand before I even had a chance to answer and pulled me to my feet. “Come on!”The Colosimo house was unusual for our neighborhood in that it had a basement. My parents’ house, for example, which was an expensive unit on a corner property, was half crawlspace and half slab-on-grade. Jeana’s house not. Hannah was staring at Aly in the doorway, trying to figure out why a nude bunny-girl had opened it, and was waving her inside. As my eyes met hers through the glass, I felt the same visceral presence as I had with Aly. Hannah was the Citrine Stone, the Stone of Greed. I managed to avoid the same trance that Aly and I had fallen into, but I watched Hannah stumble slightly, and as Yuki caught her arm, I got a flash of desire, but not from my Asian sex toy.The desire was Hannah’s. A sudden desire. I was a bit annoyed that I had to stay with my aunt. "I'm almost 17", I told my parents. "I'm old enough to stay home by myself". But my mom insisted that I stay with her sister to stay safe since school was out for the summer and I would be home all day. Aunt Jennifer lived about 1 hour away from where we live and was on the way to the airport. My parents dropped me off at my aunt's apartment and I was greeted by Aunt Jennifers' usual kiss on the lips. I said goodbye to my parents and they. " It's going to be fine," I said, trying to be reassuring. "Nothing to worry about." I really love you," she said finally as we neared the departure gate. I turned and smiled."I love you too," I answered. We drove on in silence, but suddenly all I could think of was the possibility of joining the Mile High club."Oh my God," Heather moaned loudly enough for our fellow passengers to hear. "No one told me it would be like this!"I looked over in alarm to where she was sitting. She had her face.
