restraints. He paused for a moment and shifted, his cat’s ears being much more sensitive to the sound. It was a vehicle not unlike the one that Alanna had arrived in by the sound.
    Calder quickly finished his work, then turned off the lights in his lab before ascending the staircase to the main level. He was silent as he crossed the common room and then down the hall toward the helicopter pad.
    He was sure that another vehicle would not be able to use the landing area due to the wreckage from the previous day, and would instead be forced to land closer to the base itself. Calder would use that fact to his advantage. He opened the door just a crack and peered out.
    Men in armor jumped out of a black vehicle not unlike the one Calder destroyed. One didn’t look like the others, however, and appeared less heavily armored. Still, the mortal danger in the aura of his presence was unmistakable.
    Calder dispatched him first, crossing the distance between them as a giant cat and using his momentum to shift and punch the man in the chest, slamming him up against the side of the vehicle with such ferocity that he was sure that he’d stopped the man’s heart.
    The spinning blades of the vehicle masked the noise of Calder’s movements. The tunnel vision of the armored helmets that the other soldiers wore blinded them.
    These soldiers were wearing armor to protect their organs, but it did little to prevent Calder from running from one to the next and slashing at a very weak point in their armor. Their throats.
    Calder waited among the bodies of his victims until the helicopter blades overhead stopped spinning before he climbed inside to greet the pilot.
    The man wore no armor. He removed a device from his head and placed it on the console.
    Calder advanced toward the cockpit and the pilot turned around. They made eye contact for a split second before the pilot reached for his sidearm and Calder grabbed his throat and squeezed until the man’s eyes fluttered and his arms went slack. Calder pulled the pilot’s weapon out of its holster and let go of the man’s throat.
    In a few moments, the pilot regained consciousness. His eyes went wide with terror but Calder only smiled.
    “My friend,” Calder said. “Teach me how this amazing machine works.”

    I was walking on the ice next to the water. It was dark outside, but the full moon shed enough light to see snow flurries as I walked along the water’s edge. The air smelled of cold and salt. I looked down at my feet to avoid stepping on anything, and I realized that I was naked. What was going on? I looked all around, but there was no one else in sight. I wasn’t even cold.
    I decided to go for a swim, and waded out into the water. It was warmer than I expected, considering the icebergs. Soon I relaxed, floating on my back and looking up at the night sky. I heard a splash like someone had entered the water and I righted myself, only to see…Liam? He swam over to me with a few powerful strokes.
    “What are you doing here?” I asked.
    “Hopefully you,” he said in a low growl that made me blush. I’d never been approached so shamelessly. That just didn’t happen. I decided to be bold.
    “I think that can be arranged,” I said, and pressed my body against him. His lips were like fire as he kissed my throat and his cock was rock hard against my thigh. We bobbed in the water, Liam’s muscular arms holding me afloat effortlessly, and I gasped with surprise as he pressed the tip of his cock against my cleft and found my opening. I wanted him inside me fully.
    “Please fuck me, Liam,” I said. He lifted one of my legs and thrust into me fully. I could not help but moan. As he slid in and out of me, he stared deeply into my eyes. They were blue, so blue that they looked like they were glowing in the moonlight. I could feel myself getting close to the precipice already. I wanted to fly.
    “My God, Alanna,” Liam said, and locked his mouth on mine with urgency. I felt
