Mack seems to be going down a dark path. And Commander Chase, too.
Eva sat in her core with her eyes closed as she flew across the surface of a pristine forested planet. She was deep into a Promethean Merge, and perceived the world through her fighter’s sensor suite. Trees whizzed by on her flanks as she flew at top speed above a brisk river. Readouts of the terr

Eva and Pelli were all over each other as they passed through the doorway to her hab. The heat that drew them together was powerful, and they explored each other with their hands, eyes, mouths. The passion they had for each other was too strong for them to care about anything else, and so the ligh
She took his hand, led it to her breast, and gave it a quick squeeze. Encouraged by her invitation, he gently massaged her with his palm lightly. She hummed with pleasure when he rolled her nipple in between fingers. The room was filled with the lewd sounds of skin slapping on skin, which was dotte
