Inarrii agent Alinna Gaerrii was tasked with observing the Starforce base on Earth. Crash landing her observation pod onto the base was not part of her mission briefing. Neither was making “m’ittar”–mind contact–with Major David Brown, the human who discovered her amongst the wreckage.
David thinks she’s a psychologist sent to evaluate his Special Forces team, and Alinna goes along with his misconception, seizing the opportunity to observe humans up close. But their daily contact has unexpected side effects, and Alinna soon invades David’s dreams. Through their intimate mental connection she allows him to express his forbidden physical desires.

The Team Reunion Winner Post
Hi Everyone!
So in the meantime our adventurous Geeky Lover and HEA Lover got back from Berlin and our little team is whole again so I felt it was the occasion for some Reunion LOL Cat fun 😀
The calendar is already in June, but the weather is as whimsical as in April here: rainy and windy one day, then sunny and muggy the next. Impossible to get a hang of it and to dress appropriately :-/ grr A bit scare to think that in just a few weeks school will ends, vacations will start and summer will be in full swing, and I can’t even recall where spring and the first half of 2012 went!
This week congratulations are in order to
