Harley didn't answer, but immediately scrambled onto her knees and crawled over to the box of baby griffins. They were all baring their teeth, the hai... on their backs raised. Harley felt bad for not noticing their growling and coming over to be with them sooner.She put her hand in the box to let them know she was all right, and gently picked one up to hug against her chest. She buried her face into the soft fur of the baby griffin, letting herself become distracted from her recent hurt.She. She took the napkin from him, already knowing she would never call him for a ride. Asking for favors or causing people to go out of their way was something she avoided doing at all costs. As she smiled and pulled open the door, he realized that this was exactly how shed think. Hey, do you think… The words needed to come out just right. Could I take you to dinner tomorrow night? All at once, she was nervous, wanting to get away but never wanting to leave. Uh… sorry. I cant. The speed with which. Would Colonel Michael Deschenes be available?" Admiral, this is Colonel Deschenes. Welcome to the colony of Thule." Thank you, Governor. We have things to discuss. Can I meet with your senior Civil Service officer and your facilities engineer, say over lunch?"The Colonel made an appointment at the Officers' Club for 12:30 hours, and shortly afterwards left. Lieutenant Carruthers, on the other hand, stuck around. It turned out that the AIs on the vessels above were not terribly interested in. Did I want to join him upstairs? Sure. When we get there, he made the call, no joy. "Now what?" And he looks at me with a look that made me shiver, a bit turned on by how he was eyeing me like he had a week long load and someone needed to take care of that. And then he started talking to me, telling me of his need, and then said, "I need to cum. Let's take turns." And he gives me this look that makes my heart pound faster, and time slowed down from the adrenaline rush, this feeling of disbelief.
