He looked at me with the azure blue eyes and blinked and voila they turned emerald green. Sometimes it takes only one person to make you believe in love, while at times the entire world is not enough. I never used to believe in love. For me, my work meant everything to me. But that is all in the past now... I had never desired a man, but when I looked at Nathan, my boss and the company CEO, I felt a strong urge to kiss his luscious lips and being held in his strong arms. He granted my wishes and made me feel each and every cell of my body. Behind his sad eyes, I discovered a man who fell in love with me. Little did I know that the face of someone so divine, an alien would cruise through my heart. TAKING A LEAPChristie looked at her new found love and couldn’t help but wonder what her friends would think of him. His long tail would instinctively stump up and down in the floor as it chased away flies and his breathing would get louder every time he looked up at her. She wondered how it would be like to make love to him when he was that in form and the knowing look that all of a sudden appeared on his fury face made her acknowledge the chills that would run up and down her spine. She had to get used to the mind reading ability that she would mostly have to voice all her comments even the nasty and sarcastic ones. He stretched his hand toward her and she moved closer to him swiftly and landed in her recent favorite position. She let her head rest on his fury chest and loved how hard his heart beat in his chest.“This is crazy”, she thought. “I know and yet here we are”, he replied as he ran his claws on her smooth face. She wanted to kiss him but his scaly mouth was not so appetizing. She let her head rest on his chest again and thought of nothing else after all nothing else really mattered.TOBEYIn 2115, the Earth is attacked by an unknown alien force far outside of the Milky Way Galaxy, and a quarter of the world’s population is wiped out in the blink of an eye. In response to the attack, the World Space Organization locates the source of the deadly strike—an Earth like planet in the distant Andromeda galaxy—and prepares an invasion fleet of three massive ships called the Goliath's. The ships will largely house 600,000 battle ready androids, but will be flown by three human pilots. 24-year-old Blake, the beautiful daughter of two prominent Earth artists, and a brilliant pilot and engineer, is selected to fly the third ship, Goliath III. She is enraged by the mass slaughter of her people and wants revenge despite the wishes of her parents. As the long, solitary flight progresses, Blake becomes lonely, having no one to speak or interact with because of the strict communications blackout instated by the WSO so that the attack can be as much of a surprise as possible. So the brilliant and innovative engineer begins to build herself a companion, using her maintenance android, Tobey, to craft someone to eradicate her long hours of loneliness. Over the next 30 years, Blake and Tobey will test the boundaries what is considered life and love and create a bond far greater than most human beings will ever know. LION HEARTAfter spending a long period of time in rehab, Tina is ready to get back to work and strive to be on her feet again.
