I have to resign my military commission. A halo above the head is bad for any kind of stealth, in case it’s necessary. I don’t have to tell you th...at a halo above the head is not exactly something covered under the usual reasons for quitting the military, but it is a clear security breach. I’m really, thoroughly puzzled by this, to say the least. What’s causing this?” Tulsi thought aloud, being very candid, not that she wasn’t normally, but this was very unguarded of her.“Congresswoman, you know. All of you. You girls have made what I must go through with Dad much easier to bear. Or, at least, you get my mind off the problem frequently.”“If we managed only that, our time spent on you was worthwhile.”“On another topic, are you worried about Civia ... figuring things out or catching you?”“Yes. She’s very bright and she loves being here. Our problem is that we love her and love having her here, but it was much easier maintaining the secrecy while she didn’t live within easy walking. She wants me to try out some of her newer designs. Give comments and criticisms, that sort of things” She elaborated with indifference, like it was ‘only natural’ ‘that she had to go visit her. I couldn’t help but to think that whatever she would be doing with Paulina, it would involve them both being naked most of the time.“I’m going out tonight too.” I said.“Where to?”“Jason’s.” I lied. I was going to Charlotte’s.“Oh, right. You two haven’t met each other for like months.”“Yeah. He was here. A scent he'd recognize anywhere, even in a city of several hundred thousand. He fought the urge to drink from her; it’s not what he was here for. Not this time. He could feel her small body quiver against his, her suppressed need for him only serving to fuel his own for her. There was no more denying it. With a flick of his wrist he untied the knot at her waist and the silk robe slithered down her body to pool at her feet in a puddle of iridescent colours, giving Micheal a view of curves her.
