“I think you have the wrong number.” Logan hung up the phone.
“Who was that?”
“Wrong number.” Logan looked over at the woman in his bed. She was beautiful, yet completely unlike anyone else he had ever met. She was sweet, down-to-earth, and uncomplicated. He could definitely get used to having her around. He watched her for another minute and then decided he wasn’t letting her off that easy. He leaned over and nibbled her ear.
She moaned lightly, enjoying the sensation. She gave Logan a deep long kiss. Then she pushed him down, pinned his arms over his head, and nibbled on his neck.
Yes, he could definitely get used to having her around, and the thought of that didn’t even frighten him. He was totally falling in love with her. “Hi sweetheart. How’d you sleep?”
“Great.” She loved being in his arms.
“Any nightmares?” he asked.
“Haven’t had one in months,” Stacy answered. “But I’ve been having very naughty dreams.” She smiled brightly and adjusted her hips just so, to get a positive reaction. She kissed him deeply again. Then Logan overpowered her and got on top. She smiled coyly as an indescribable sensation overcame her. She knew she had finally found Sir Right.
“The End for now”
Word from the author:
First off, I’ll just say I believe in life elsewhere in the universe. Werner Von Braun said it best, “Our sun is one of 100 billion stars in our galaxy. Our galaxy is one of billions of galaxies populating the universe. It would be the height of presumption to think that we are the only living things in that enormous immensity.” Now whether they have made it to Earth or not is another matter entirely. Personally, I believe they have on many occasions and, if you have picked up this book, my guess is you believe the same.
When I wrote this book my ultimate goal was to write the most fun, action-packed, and thrillingly fast paced novel I could, but I also wanted to make it as realistic as possible. The lecture about the possibility of extraterrestrial life and their technology that Dr. Blaze gives to Logan Grey on the plane is all based on real science. The explanation of events Colonel Chase gives to Major David Gaines is mostly based on actual UFO mythology, with some minor elements tweaked to fit the story. For the military buffs out there, I researched our weapon systems and aircraft capabilities as best I could and I hope I accurately detailed all of our human technology as well.
I hope you enjoyed the book. As an added bonus to you, here’s a cartoon I drew over fifteen years ago that will give you a better feel for my sense of humor.
CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE FOURTH KIND
