Chapter One: New Discoveries
Ford, the lead physicist at the government research facility, left his office first after motioning to Gina and Larch to stay behind. Their bout of office sex had been wild. “It might look bad if we all show up at the exact same moment—or just really weird.” He had grinned and hurried out the door.
“In that case...” Larch arched a brow suggestively.
“Don't even think about it. We have aliens to find right now, mister.” Gina brushed past him, caressing the front of his pants as she did so.
“Damn. How am I going to work? All I can think about is being inside of you—of doing this again.” He grabbed her as she got to the door, pressing his erection into her backside.
“Well, you'll have to figure out how to work.” She winked, feeling powerful and ecstatic. Her body thrummed from the multiple orgasms, and her anticipation of scientific discovery almost made it all too much.
“I'll try.”
“I'll see you in a minute. Wait and then come after me.” She pushed herself into his hard cock.
Larch groaned. “I will when I get rid of this boner.”

The crew was gathered in the lab, waiting for Pax to speak.
“This star doesn't look right. I wasn't sure until today, so I didn't say anything until I'd seen the latest readings and done some calculations.” Pax frowned over a printout and his computer screen.
“Well, tell us about it, man!” Ford clapped him on the back.
Pax frowned. “Don't get jubilant yet. You know the chances that this is something else...” He trailed off.
“Right. We all do, but we can hope.” Larch sighed. “Show us what you have, dude.”
Pax pointed out the pattern of the star's blinking. “It's irregular, and it doesn't make sense. It's not because something is passing in front of it. It's like...something is using its energy in a constant way instead.” He took a deep breath and ran his hand over his bald head.
“I think you're on to something. Wow. This is amazing!” Ford whooped.
“We have a lot of testing to do yet, numbers to run, experiments to devise,” Pax said with a frown.
“Sure, but just think! What if this is it?” Ford leaned over the desk and offered a high five to Pax who grudgingly accepted it. “Way to go. Write the paper up pronto. Give us our parts to do, and get your tech guy Ted on the analysis of surrounding numbers, that sort of thing.”
Gina stood to the side, studying the bunch.
I can't believe I'm sleeping with two of these men—these brilliant physicists, who are, well, almost as smart as I am.
She grinned.
Pax was the anomaly of the group. He stayed to himself, but he was also, perhaps, the best scientist because of it. His work came first, and he was relentless in his research and about the details. Once the other two men had dispersed, Gina walked over to Pax.
“Hey, congratulations. I feel like we might not have gotten off on the best foot.” She offered what she hoped was a conciliatory smile.
He didn't even look up from his spreadsheet. “Thanks. I'm pretty busy now, as you might imagine.”
Damn. He's cold.
“I understand. Let me know if there's anything I can help with. I'm just starting out with projects, so I'm mostly free.” She waited.
“And?” He typed something into the computer.
“I'd love to help.” Gina sighed and crossed her arms, leaning on his desk.
“Great. I'll let you know.” He waved his hand toward her, not giving her another look.
She shook her head and left.
Why do I care? I have Larch and Ford to keep me warm at night.
But she did care. He attracted her the most of all the men because he didn't want her—and that bald head was as sexy as hell.

Pax ground his teeth together and clenched his fists as Gina Forester walked away.
Dammit. Why do I
