Here is what happened:“After I got the interview with MT, that is what he wants to be called, I found out he had an office in this very building. He...has maybe six offices throughout Vincennes.”“Anyway, he saw my work history seeing my rise through the same business over multiple decades, and said, ‘Do you prefer Peter, or Pete?’ I told him either would be OK?”“Did you really tell him that?” my mother said.“Ruthie, I didn’t want him to think about it, before he sent me away to talk to the next. “And why not?” “Look, last night was a mistake. I shouldn’t have let things go that far and that’s on me. All I’m asking is that you don’t tell Eric.” He stared at me, a little defeated before perking right back up. This didn’t bode well for me. “Okay, sweetheart, I won’t tell Eric. But you’re going to let me fuck you one more time.” “I will absolutely not. Did you not hear anything I just said.” “Loud and clear. But I also know what I saw last night. It was a woman realizing what she really. Just before she blacked out to the sound of shouts of completion, she felt Davariel’s seed filling her in hot bursts, his shouts, and exclamations of love for her reverberating throughout the room.The golden crescent moon glowed high in the star-speckled sky. Mournful cries of babies drifted in the dead of night. Naked bodies lay strewn in various poses of intimate embrace, unmoving, for they all slept, drained of energy by the cambion’s voracious appetite. The sound of the babes crying, along. “What just happened?” Helen questioned in a rush at the same time as Alissa asked, “what did you do?”“I killed the power to the ship after they scanned us. The high-pitched beeping helped mask what was going on onboard. After launching our tracker friend, I waited for a bit, knowing they would still be scanning for our ship. If we’re lucky, they didn’t see the momentary blip of energy a mile or so away from the torpedo that is burning at full power.”“Why would they follow the decoy?” Alissa.
