Did you sleep well?"Ken was going to pretend to grumble, but instead replied, "My darling, it could not have been better. The bed is so wonderful for ...leeping and you are exquisite in my arms. Darling Kathy, it was perfect!" Then he asked, "Did you sleep well?"He realized it must have been the right thing to say when she released her sunshine smile, lighting up the room, and then leaning towards him to kiss him again. She replied, "It could not possibly have been any better." Then she grinned. "My privacy compared to Marie's comfort and safety?Nonsense," she said, before quickly adding when she saw Caitlyn's facefall. "Your idea is perfect, dear, but we won't move the bed. We willinstall her in my office. Once we get her inside, you run up and getsome linens and then make up the bed. Good thinking, Caitlyn."~------------~ Marie was soon settled in relative luxury in Jane'soffice. "I can't be laid up for as long as the doctor said, Jane. Whowill take care of you, the girls and. You stay with Jeet then. I know all of the places. You want a man—European man or Indian man? You English or American?”“American,” I said. “Just the hotel, thank you.” He’d cut right to the chase. From the hotel reference, or was he able to assess me from the look of me and the look I’d given him when I picked him out from the rest of those leaning on the taxi? Was he gay too? Was it a man I wanted? No, certainly not a man, having come this far and been primed by Chet. I could get a man in New. One Being on the top who ruled with absolute power. This being or entity was known as the Imperius Invictus. According to these legends, he was not a mere being but a god, a demon perhaps. With powers beyond psionics. Another rumor was that it was the goal of the First Empire and the Dark Ones to find and appease that god, and created that Empire to impress that Dark Entity.What of it is true I do not know but it was said this Dark One had ultimate dominion of space and time. A thought of this.
