Most of the other drivers excitedly agreed. Sidney jumped up and smiled. "Yes, yes! All of you should come to our world!" The Salaks thought it was a wonderful idea and wanted to host the next event.

"I had not expected to start an ongoing series." Freya said with a laugh. Actually they had forgotten it was time to call it a day and continued talking excitedly about it.

Beatrice placed an arm around her daughter. "Well, this was your idea after all. If they want to take it and run with it, then so be it."

Anastasia laughed. "I fully support the idea, I hope my Queen will support the idea as well."

"I certainly do." Freya said and banged the table to get the others attention. "I fully agree with Alice's idea. Sidney I will be contacting your world about hosting the next event."

The ladies cheered very loudly and were looking forward to the next race. Along with telling their family and friends all about their trip here. Alice and Carly continued to talk as they headed down to catch a shuttle out to the star ship.

"The two of you seem rather chipper." Marko said as he and most of the others sat on the observation deck of the ship. The ship had been ready to depart for a half hour, all they were waiting on was the two drivers.

"That is because we have some exciting news." Carly said as she walked over to Mike to give him another hug and a kiss.

"What would this exciting news be?" Katie asked as the twins stood near the glass to watch the Amazon world fade away.

"We are doing this again next year, on a different world." Alice and Carly said cheerfully.

"For real! Alice you have to take us with you!" TJ and DJ exclaimed as they left the window behind and ran over to Alice. To them, that was better than Christmas.

Marko chuckled.

"What do you find amusing Sir?" Kitty asked as they all sat down for the jump. The return trip being quicker since they could jump to Earth without the need to travel to the space station first.

"When I hired Alice, I knew there was something special about her... But nothing like this." Marko said and gestured to the ship and the Amazon home world.

"We always said she could be whatever she wanted to be." Lucy said and leaned against Ron.

"However, famous intergalactic ambassador had not crossed our minds." Ron chuckled.

The stars once again flattened and stretched before they seemed to explode. As the scene outside returned to normal, their own familiar world sat in view. The second jump went better than the first had, with only a few people not handling the jump well.

Alice scratched her head, she was a little confused about why they thought that. "But I haven't done anything special."

Marko stood and walked over to the glass. "You found Nodrog."

"Only by pure dumb luck. Trust me, when I say Kathrin and I were looking for anything but him." Alice said and shuddered as she remembered the gross sound of tearing flesh.

Marko glanced back at Alice. "Finding him might have been luck, but you, and you alone woke him up." Marko looked back out the window.

"If you had not woke him up, none of the... interesting and eye opening things over the last year would have happened. Who knows how long it would have taken us to actually meet the aliens we have?" Marko said.

"A few instances I sure could have done without." Catlin said as everyone sat down for the landing.

"I will not disagree with you on that. However, Roslyn and Sherman might, since otherwise they would not know who they really are." Marko said and leaned forward and looked at Alice.

"Alice, your modesty is one of your most endearing traits. It is also one of the most frustrating of them as well." Marko said with a smile.

"Funny, Jenny has said the same thing." Alice said. Jenny always showered her with praise, she herself did not think was necessary. Alice looked down at the floor, Jenny's constant cheering was another thing she over looked. Suddenly she wasn't feeling so great.

"Everything okay dear?" Lucy asked.

"Yeah, I think all the excitement caught up with me. I know you and Jenny probably planed something, but could it wait till another day? I think I just want a little peace and quiet." Alice said quietly.

"Of course dear." Lucy said and knew Alice was upset about something. She was still waiting for the little talk about how close Jenny and her had been with Nodrog. Lucy called Jenny as soon as she stepped off the starship.

Jenny was sitting on the couch after sending everyone home. The decorations still hanging, although she put the cake in the fridge. She was naturally concerned, and wondered what was wrong. Nothing looked wrong as Alice came in with a weak smile and closed the door behind her.

"I know you and mom wanted a party, but I just am tired from the trip." Alice said and left her couple bags by the door.

"I kind of figured, there was a whole lot of excitement." Jenny said and watched as Alice took off her shoes. Alice maintained her composure up until she sat on the couch next to Jenny.

Alice put her arms around Jenny as the tears ran down her cheeks. The race victory completely forgotten as she sobbed. Marko had not meant anything by his comment, but it pointed out another thing Alice overlooked about Jenny. That hurt worse than anything else, knowing she had ignored Jenny for far too long. It made her sick thinking of how much Jenny gave, with nothing in return.

It took a little, but Jenny got Alice to talk about why she was so upset. Jenny took Alice's hands and placed them on her growing belly. "Alice, that is all in the past. Please let it stay in the past and lets only look at tomorrow."

"But..." Alice only managed to get out the one word before Jenny placed a finger on her lips.

"No buts... Cake yes, buts no." Jenny said with a smile and pulled Alice along to the kitchen.

"Shouldn't we wait for the others?" Alice asked.

Jenny pulled the cake out of the fridge. "I'm pregnant, no one is going to argue with me. Besides, I baked it for you, not everyone else."

It was angel food cake, made by her sometimes naughty little angel. With a strawberry cool whip frosting that was quiet tasty. Alice felt better already. "You have a point there... You haven't started wanting weird things like peanut butter and pickles, have you?"

Jenny stuck her tongue out. "No way, pickles are gross. Stacy took me to a place that had chocolate covered bacon..." Jenny looked down at her belly. "I am surprised I am not twice as big, that stuff was heavenly."

"Maybe I should swim more. I do not know how that girl can eat so much junk, unless she still has a boy's metabolism." Alice said and eyed the large piece Jenny had just cut out.

"Yes this one is for you." Jenny said and handed Alice the plate and a fork.

Jenny cut herself a slightly smaller piece, she had been eating to many sweets. "So how was lunch with the other drivers?"

Alice leaned back and chewed thoughtfully. "It was a lot of fun. We even decided to do it again next year on the Salaks' home world."

"That will be fun. They certainly seem friendly and outgoing like the Velopians." Jenny said and was pleased with how the cake turned out.

Alice giggled. "And..."

Jenny's ears fell flat. "... And they are really cute."

"I knew there was an 'and'. Don't feel bad, I think Sidney is very cute." Alice said with a smile. The rest of the evening went a lot better than it had started. Alice was glad to be home and in her love's arms once again.

Jenny sat on the couch as Alice put her clothes in the laundry, talking about some of the things Jenny had missed. The two of them took a shower together and once more continued what they started in the shower on the bed after they had dried off. It had been a rather long trip for Alice and she was glad to fall asleep with Jenny in her arms again.

With their late arrival, unloading all of the equipment would wait until the following day. While nearly all of them enjoyed the trip, they were all glad to get back home and in their own beds. Katie was glad to see Joe and Haylie, and the twins were happy to see their own beds. Little Joe was already thinking about the race next year, while Tim and Wes made it home and crashed.

However, the excitement would take several weeks before it settled down. Every sports program, day time and late night show wanted to get Alice on air and in front of their camera's. While Alice had always been moderately famous, now it was beginning to interfere with life in general.

Sherman or Nodrog had to escort her nearly everywhere off company grounds. If they could not, Roslyn or even Catlin would take their place. With it well into winter, Jenny convinced Alice to just stay on company grounds for the most part. It snowed enough Alice got some much needed solitude in the snow plow.

Alice smiled as Jim handed her a cup of hot chocolate as they took a break in the shop. "Thanks."

"Things quieting down yet?" Kenny asked.

Alice shook her head no. "Mom and dad got mobbed at the mall the other day. Any time Jenny goes out, Nodrog or Roslyn go with her, in combat fatigues and armed."

"How about Carly?" Jim asked.

"She is getting almost as much attention. As far as people here are concerned, Carly is the only one who can beat me. We never had this much of a problem when dad was racing full time." Alice said and held the cup close.

Jim chuckled. "But your old man, never raced on another planet."

"Good point. I would think with Christmas and New Years right around the corner, the focus will shift to other things." Alice said.

"The boys are already talking about your parent's Christmas party." Kenny said.

"Pretty sure everyone is talking about that." Jim said.

"Katie's family is coming into town. I don't think there is going to be any room in that house this year." Alice said and smiled as she thought about an evening with all of the people she cared about.

"Who is going to keep all the kids entertained this year?" Kenny asked.

"I am sure Jenny will, there will just be less wrestling on the floor. I am also very sure, she will tell them an even more imaginative tail about the race on the Amazon world." Alice said and leaned back.

"How would that be even possible?" Kenny asked with a laugh.

"She can tell some imaginative stories, always has been able too. After all, your boys think she is not afraid of anything, and we all know that isn't true." Jim said and chuckled.

"You got me there." Kenny said and they all looked up at the speaker as Frank paged Alice.

"Wonder what that's about?" Jim said and set down his cup to look at his watch.

Alice stood up. "You got me, I was positive I was not scheduled to be at any meetings today."

"I will call you if we need any more help. Looks like it has quit for the time being." Jim said and took his and her cup over to the sink to rinse them out.

"Alright. See you guys later." Alice said and headed out to see what Frank wanted. A text message from Jenny didn't give her any hints, since Jenny had asked why they were called to his office.

Since Alice had been out plowing snow, she was wearing blue jeans and a long sleeve work shirt. Her hair a little messy from the knit hat she usually wore. So she looked a little out of place with the more office attire those on what Jenny called 'the boss floor'.

Jenny was wearing her lab coat over a band t-shirt and gray cargo pants. Her hair was pulled up neatly as always when she was working. The jeweled arrow earring standing out against the other jewelry she was wearing.

Frank and Kathrin were talking to a young woman as Alice knocked on the open, office door. "That was quick. Come in, come in." Frank said.

"We aren't interrupting anything?" Jenny asked. She took a page from Roslyn's book and just sat down. After all she was pregnant.

"Not at all, we wanted to introduce you to your new assistant. Alice, Jenny this is, Molly Martin." Kathrin said with a smile.

Molly was a skunk anthro with noticeable curve, her olive eyes were behind small framed glasses. She was a little taller than Jenny and had rather vibrant red hair. "Pleased to meet you both. I look forward to learning from the best."

"Martin, like the car?" Alice asked as she shook the young woman's hand.

Jenny smiled and shook Molly's hand. "You will have to excuse her, cars are the only thing she thinks of."

"It's okay, I get that a lot actually." Molly said.

"We bumped her from an intern position to your assistant since Alice will be out 'working' in the snow and you are noticeably pregnant. She was out on the spring recovery, though she wasn't directly involved with the two big projects." Kathrin said and smiled a little when Alice winced at the word 'working'.

"I thought you looked a little familiar. I will try not to make you do too much, since my belly does not entirely interfere with work yet." Jenny said with a smile.

"As long as I don't have to get you any weird pickle and something sandwiches." Molly said with a giggle.

Jenny shivered at the word. "What is it with everyone thinking pregnant women want pickles?"

"Jenny dislikes them on anything or plain. I am sure you know where our lab is, but lets give you a little tour." Alice said.

"Molly is already in the system and her ID card will unlock the door to your lab. It is up to the two of you, to let her know what the work schedule is." Frank said.

"No problemo." Jenny said as she used both arms to get out of the chair. It would be nice to have a little help, because she had gained enough weight now, it took her a little longer to do some things. She was also very glad they had their own bathroom in the lab and didn't have to go halfway across the floor to find one.

When the military department was shifted off site, they remodeled much of the building. Their lab had been in the medical portion of the building, it still was, but they shifted much of the medical to what had been the military portion of the building. It more than tripled the room the archaeological department had.

Since in the earlier parts of the company's history, they were little more than an afterthought. Started mainly by Marko's grandfather as a hobby of sorts. Interest spread, and several outsiders asked to use his resources to look for things lost in the war and madness. They funneled equipment from the other two departments and in a short time had a single unit dedicated to the task. Marko expanded it further and split the department into two large scale teams and four smaller teams.

"Now that is quite the find." Molly said quietly as they walked into the lab. She had certainly heard a great deal about the iron dragon Alice found. This was the first time, she had actually seen him in person... For being dull iron in color, he seemed to draw attention from women as if he were precious metal.

"What brings you up here?" Alice asked.

"Roslyn wanted me to ask you what we should bring to your parent's party." Nodrog said and too quickly for them to notice, eyed the attractive skunk. "You must be their assistant Molly Martin. I am Nodrog, a pleasure to meet you."

Molly blushed as he shook her hand. "How do you know my name?"

Nodrog smiled. "I work with security, and your file was left open on Mr. October's desk."

"I figured it had to do with the rumor you can read minds." Molly said.

Alice handed Nodrog a list of things that they could bring to the party. "Those are not rumors, he can, and does read minds along with all sorts of other magical things."

"His personal favorite thing to do is, appear out of thin air and scare the crap out of people." Jenny grumbled and sat on a tall chair.

Nodrog glanced over the list before putting it in a shirt pocket. "Second favorite thing to do... I have a different trick I like much better."

The three women all blushed, because they all thought nearly the same thing. Nodrog kept his amusement hidden as he turned to leave. "Can I give Sherman and Samantha a copy?"

"Of course." Alice said.

"Good. You ladies have a pleasant afternoon." Nodrog said as he walked away. He headed back down to the meeting hall where they would have a lengthy chat with some of the Salak ambassadors. Even the males were of small stature but had the same amount of enthusiasm and energy as the females did. Though they lacked their female counterparts bright coloring; since the females had such small breasts it made telling the two sexes apart much easier.

Sherman actually copied the list during the meeting. Thanks impart to the extra abilities Nodrog was slowly amplifying without Sherman knowing. He simply attributed it to a slower evolution of his Halfling change. He and Samantha had moved in together earlier in the year and were still engaged. Sherman had been so busy this year they decided to wait until February to get married. The Salaks were now the fourth alien race he had worked with and was comfortable with this role of his position.

The only real change in Sherman and Nodrog's routines was the introduction of Marko's nephew Dmitry October who was old enough now to work under Marko's instruction in all of the things Marko did. He was a bear anthro like Marko, but not nearly as tall and imposing. Despite being twenty five, he still had a little growing up to do before he could even hope about taking over the company.

Kitty and Catlin did not really care for his constant leering, nor did many of the women on site. However crossing the raven winged otter was certainly something that would leave a lasting impression on the young man.

"I think you need to keep your hands to yourself little man." Roslyn said with crossed arms after smacking one of his hands after he gave her ass a pinch.

Clearly Roslyn was not amused and Kitty was not exactly going to put herself in harm's way trying to protect Dmitry from the otter. She was also certain egging the woman on was not a good idea.

"Oh come on. Let me show you how big of a man I am." Dmitry said with rather cocky flair.

"First off, you don't meet my height requirement short shit, and secondly I don't sleep with sleaze balls." Roslyn grumbled and turned her back on him to walk off.

"Hey, don't turn your back on me!" Dmitry yelled.

Roslyn gave him the finger. "I would say kiss my ass, but I wouldn't let you kiss my boots."

Kitty only watched in horror as Dmitry ran up to Roslyn, spun her around and pinned her arms against the wall. "Listen here bitch, I am not a sleaze ball and one day I am going to be your boss. Think about that."

Roslyn smiled cruelly. "You just crossed a line you really shouldn't have... boy."

Dmitry's eyes grew wider as Roslyn slowly over powered him. He held her wrists, and was rather strong, but Roslyn just laughed as she over powered him. He dropped down to a knee as he tried to keep her from over powering him more.

"You are no one to me, boy. Being Marko's nephew doesn't mean shit to me, boy." Roslyn growled putting extra sting to the word 'boy'.

"Kitty, a little help." Dmitry said eyes still wide and fixed only on Roslyn. He didn't dare take his eyes off of her.

Kitty watched, not really sure what she should do. She liked Roslyn and respected her a great deal. Dmitry, she only tolerated because it was her job. "Roslyn, would you at least not hurt him?"

"What the fuck kind of help is that?" Dmitry yelled.

"Consider this your little wake up call, boy. Just because we are your uncle's employees, doesn't mean you can do whatever the fuck you like. Harass another women on this facility, and I will break your fingers." Roslyn said and gave a little more push, dropping him down on both his knees. "Got it?"

Dmitry only nodded yes. Roslyn was quite frightening when upset. He remained kneeling as she walked away and realized he had actually wet himself. If Kitty noticed, she didn't say a word, she simply waited for him to get up. "Some body guard you are." Dmitry grumbled.

"I can call her back over here if you want. I am not paid to protect you from being a dumb ass. Only in the event of a life threatening situation." Kitty said with a very firm tone.

"She threatened to break my fingers." Dmitry scowled.

"But not your neck. I think your schedule just opened up, so you can take time and reflect on this moment." Kitty said and started heading off to the meeting.

"What are you going to tell him?" Dmitry asked.

"That you are not feeling well. If I told him what really happened you would get a rather lengthy lecture from him." Kitty said.

"Why would you do that?" Dmitry asked.

"Because there is one other point to consider about you argument with Roslyn." Kitty stopped and turned to look at him.

"And that is?" Dmitry asked.

"If I had shot her, that would have only made her madder." Kitty said and walked off once more.

Chapter.

Kitty sat down next to Catlin in the meeting room.

"Where is god's gift to women?" Catlin asked.

"He had a little run in with Roslyn." Kitty sighed.

"She didn't kill him, did she?" Sherman asked.

"No." Kitty said.

"Where is my nephew?" Marko asked as he came in from his office.

"He isn't feeling well." Kitty said.

Marko raised an eye brow. "I suppose having Roslyn scare the piss out of you would do that."

"She is not one of his biggest supporters at the moment." Nodrog chuckled as he simply appeared in the room. It had taken a long time, but Kitty and Catlin had gotten mostly used to that little trick.

"That is because he is a douche bag." Tabbatha huffed as she sat down at the table. They all looked at the little mouse in astonishment. "What?"

"That is the first time I have ever heard you say something like that." Jade said and smiled.

Tabbatha blushed at her poor choice of words. "Sorry about that."

"Don't be sorry for stating your opinion Tabbatha. Cause I whole heartedly agree." Catlin said and crossed her arms.

"I will not disagree with any of you. His personality does need... a lot of work. However he is quite smart when it comes to business. Business can be rather harsh and I expect him to learn some things quickly, or he will not be here much longer." Marko said and sat down at the table.

"I am sure Nodrog could straighten him out on a few things." Kitty said surprised by how mad she was. She was usually much cooler headed and was looking forward to her few days of guarding Jenny on a few of her off company grounds events. While Jenny was much more talkative than Marko, at least she could talk about a very wide array of topics. Jenny had bought her lunch last time, and they spent much of it talking about firearms.

"Of that I am quite sure of. However, some things are better learned without being scared to death. I have not had any problem with Dmitry, but I have dealt with young men like him before." Frank added as they all sat down.

"I will have a talk with him this evening. The last thing I want is to lose good employees because of harassment. Now lets push that aside and discuss the upcoming year." Marko said.

"As I am sure everyone knows, Jenny will be having her baby late February or early March. We have hired Alice and Jenny an assistant, thankfully Jenny will be back to work before Alice starts taking time off to race. That still will leave us a little short handed on that front." Jade said as she glanced at her notes.

Kathrin leaned back a little. "Frank and I were talking about it, and if Nodrog would not mind. He could just bring the important things back here for Jenny to examine with their lab equipment."

"I would not have a problem with that at all." Nodrog said.

"Kathrin will manage most of the digs this year. I have been asked to oversee relocating some museum exhibits." Frank said.

"I noticed several requests for our drivers and escorts come across my desk. You will have anything you need, as always Frank." Marko said.

"I have not had a chance to go over everything, but I do not see any problem in meeting those requests from my standpoint." Sherman said as he flipped through his, less organized notes. Which got a slight giggle from Tabbatha, even she had opened up a little more after Nodrog started working with Marko more often.

"We already have the first three months planed out for the alien ambassadors coming and going. Aside from a few, minor incidents we have had very little problem with any of our guests and the local population. Those aliens living on earth have expressed their gratitude for your hospitality during their stay." Sherman added after he found that page.

"I am pleased to hear that. How are your staff handling the constant interaction?" Marko asked.

Sherman scratch his chin. "I have not heard any complaints. Really after you push aside the fact they are aliens, any trouble or misunderstanding is language or cultural. I have had maybe five or six ask to be reassigned from a position dealing with them."

"I as well, have had a very small number ask to be assigned a position that did not require dealing with the other races. Most of my staff are thrilled with the opportunity." Dr. Phillips said.

"You look rather relieved about that." Catlin said.

Nodrog chuckled. "Because I am. I was not sure how things would go when I brought the Velopians here for the first time. I am glad to have made a positive impact for once."

"Speaking of positive, after several months of use. Initial reports are showing the treatment is slowing Black Blood. It is working a little better on some then others, but it has not had any negative impacts. After a full year has run its course we should be able to increase the number of people testing it for us." Dr. Phillips said.

"Well that is a start in the right direction. What about your other projects?" Marko asked.

"Thanks to a few brave volunteers, like Alice's friend Carly. I can safely say we can successfully give someone a fully operational artificial limb. Returning full mobility and range of motion to the patient. Ms. Whitman's leg survived interstellar travel and over sixty hours of use in a race car. She only had one complaint about her leg." Dr. Phillips said and closed his folder.

"Nothing serious I hope." Marko said.

Dr. Phillips pulled his glasses off to clean them with his shirt. "Nothing serious. She just thought we could at least offer them in colors besides flesh tone."

"Corporal Myers, thinks the same thing about his arm. Along with wanting some other options, that might not have civilian use." Sherman said.

"I do not understand why they think it necessary to think of an artificial limb as an accessory like a purse or a machine gun... Oh well, that can be left up to other people." Dr. Phillips sighed.

"People have always wanted to have a few silly things like that. It helps with the mental side of losing a limb. I think if the person getting the limb wants it in a different color, that should be of little concern for us." Dr. Herman added.

"If it makes them happy, then I see no reason to limit color selection. Are there any other things you would like to bring to my, or the others attention?" Marko asked.

"If not, Tabbatha would you please go over the end of year fiscal reports." Marko said.

"Of course." Tabbatha said and brought up an image on the large flat screen.

To Sherman and Nodrog, this was the most boring and tedious part of these sort of meetings. Still they had to be done, and thankfully Tabbatha moved things along quick enough they didn't have to worry about falling asleep during them. Really Nodrog cared little for the finical end of things. Sherman was a little excited about the bonus they were going to be getting.

"Nodrog, a word with you alone." Marko said as they all got up to leave. It was a little past their normal quitting time, so Kitty, Catlin and Tabbatha would all be heading for their apartments.

"Of course." Nodrog said and stayed behind as the others left. The two walked back into Marko's office. He walked over to the large window overlooking the main airfield.

Marko set his things in a desk drawer before joining Nodrog at the large window. "I have another off the record job for you. Under normal circumstances, I would have turned such a request down..."

"But it comes from someone close?" Nodrog asked.

"It does. A close friend of mine, his son went missing and there simply are no clues. He was at home one day and gone the next. No signs of forced entry or a struggle. Also missing is a drive containing some rather sensitive data." Marko said.

"Someone convinced the boy to leave on his own accord and take the drive with him in that case. How long has he been gone?" Nodrog asked.

"A month now, the police have no leads and have filed it as a cold case." Marko said.

"Very well, I will have to start anew then. I will have to examine the boy's room and get a list of places he liked to hang out." Nodrog said.

Marko pulled a folded piece of paper out of his inner coat pocket. "This is the address. I told them if you agreed, you would be there at eight o'clock in the morning."

Nodrog glanced at the paper before putting it in his own coat pocket. "And if I had not agreed?"

"Then no one would show up." Marko said.

"Very well, have a good evening." Nodrog said and simply vanished into thin air.

"Now to deal with Dmitry..." Marko said and headed up to the small apartment the young man was staying in.

Roslyn didn't bat an eye as Nodrog simply appeared in the living room and hung up his suit coat. There really was something about a man in a suit... "Marko going to do something about his nephew?"

"He was going to have a talk with him. I have a little work to do, not sure when I will get back." Nodrog said as he sat down next to the lovely otter. He was looking forward to seeing her in an evening gown later in the month.

Roslyn smiled as he put his arm around her. "Saving the world again or something a little smaller?"

Nodrog chuckled. "Much smaller, just a missing person. It is however, off the record."

"Oh, that is a little peculiar. Still you found me with little trouble, and I am very thankful for that." Roslyn said.

"You are too precious to have not gone looking for." Nodrog said softly and kissed her neck.

Roslyn sighed contently. "You spoil me."

Nodrog smiled coyly and turned off the TV before running a hand under her shirt; to lightly run a claw across her stomach. Which drew another sigh along with a shiver from her. "How about I spoil you a little more?"

Roslyn gasped as his magic quickly got her aroused. She turned and sat on his lap. "Why don't you let me treat you?" She kissed him as he effortlessly picked her up as he stood up to carry her back to the bedroom.

"I have talked with Alice and Jenny about... everything. The three of us want to do more for you." Roslyn said quietly as she was gently laid down on the bed. She watched as he quickly shed his shirt before lightly kissing her exposed belly.

"The three of you have done more than I could ever put into words..." Nodrog said softly and kissed his way down while pulling off her shorts.

"That's not what... I... meant." Roslyn moaned as he skipped teasing and simply got down to blowing her mind. She wanted to be mad at him for essentially changing the subject, but as that electric tingle reached deeper with his tongue. It was hard to stay mad, or focused as he ate her out.

It was well past her normal bed time as Roslyn dried off from her shower. After regaining her composure after an hour of fantastic sex, she was still a little mad at him. Nodrog never asked for anything, ever. He would not tell them when his birthday was, and insisted he did not need anything for Christmas.

Alice had suggested they use the day she found him as his birthday. Roslyn agreed with the cat and mouse, but Nodrog would not have it. He pointed out a more important event was on that day already; and when you live forever, birthdays are rather silly.

Roslyn leaned her head back on his chest as Nodrog came up behind her and put his arms around her. He kissed her cheek and gave her a light squeeze.

Nodrog looked her in the eyes in the mirror. "I only want one thing. For the three of you to be here, to stay as long as you can."
