Yes, she would be. He allowed himself to imagineKaida carrying his baby for a few brief moments before shaking his head anddrinking some beer. He was being ridiculous. He appreciated that Kaida wantedto try dating, but he knew how it would end. His father would never accept herand while he didn’t give a shit what his father thought, her clan would neveraccept him and Kaida wouldn’t leave her clan. It was a no-win situation.

So why are you torturing yourself? End itwith her now. Is the heartache going to be worth it just so you don’t have acase of blue balls?

He gulped down another swallow of beer, thebitter hops coating his tongue. It was more than just the sex. He liked Kaidaa lot and the thought of not seeing her made him anxious and pissed off.

It’s only gonna get worse if you don’tend it now.

“Yeah, well, I’m not ending it with her, soshut it,” he muttered.

There was a knock on his door, and he setthe beer bottle on the counter and walked toward the door, unlocking it andswinging it open. “Since when do you knock, Elora? Or for that…”

The hallway was empty.

“What the hell?” he said.

“Bren, it’s me.”

He startled back, his heart knocking in hischest, and he made an unmanly squeak of surprise when he felt Kaida brush pasthim.

“Kaida?”

“Hi there.” The door swung shut on itsown, the deadbolt turning as if with magic.

“This is super weird,” Bren said. “How didyou get into the building?”

“Followed one of your neighbours in.” Kaida’shand brushed across his chest, at least he thought it was her hand. “Is thatokay?”

“Yeah, it’s no problem,” he said. “Jesus,this is weird.”

Her low laugh went straight to his dick. “Iknow. Hold on, I’ll take the other potion.”

Her voice was growing fainter and he walkedslowly to the kitchen. “Are you in here?”

“Yes. I’m about to take the potion,” Kaidasaid.

“How come I can’t see the bottle?” Brenasked.

“Whatever non-living stuff I’m holding whenI drink the invisibility potion turns invisible with me,” Kaida said.

“Oh. Cool.”

“Very.” There was silence and then shesaid. “Okay, it takes a couple of minutes to kick in.”

“Do you feel different?” he asked.

“No,” Kaida said. “It does tingle a littlewhen you disappear and reappear.”

The air shimmered in front of him,shimmered and wavered, and then Kaida appeared, materializing in the kitchenlike she was an actor on the Star Trek series.

His plans to throw out a glib, “Beam me up,Scotty” died in his throat.

Kaida was naked – gloriously naked – and herlong hair flowed down her back in soft waves. She leaned against the counter, settinga small bluish coloured bottle on the countertop. His gaze dropped to herbreasts and his cock hardened immediately. She really did have the mostamazing tits he’d ever seen.

“How was your day, Bren?”

He blinked at her. “What?”

“Your day? How was it?”
