Wanda's cheeks flushed a vivid shade of crimson. Lately, Neil had frequently requested her 'massages.'A mischievous glint in her eye, Helma was on the verge of teasing when the room's door abruptly swung open.Without an invitation, and certainly without the courtesy of a knock, she cast a mildly a

The poor thing's symptoms were straight out of a horror flick: muscles clenching like crazy, nerves on fire, bleeding inside, gasping for air, and foaming at the mouth. Some of them even had their hearts stop cold turkey.According to the timeline, the rat had been juiced up with three rounds of Sta
With the report out of the way, the experiment team kicked things into high gear to wrap up their project.The meticulously calculated data was in, and the verdict was clear: Starlight Blossom's effects were rock-solid stable. The only thing left for the lab mice was one final shot.The brain trust
