- What happened to you? I asked."Don't you understand yourself?" she sighed. "Can't you see what's happening to me?" I want to finally be loved. I want you to love me.“I love you,” I said. She jumped up, looking wide-eyed at mine - she expected anything but recognition. “I love you,” I repeated.She stood up, moving her lips towards me. I returned the kiss as I unwrapped her from the package she had made for herself. Under the covers, she was completely naked and immediately began to violently pull off everything that I was wearing, just not tearing my clothes to pieces. I tossed the pillows and lay down beside her, hugging her tighter.* * *We fell asleep only in the morning. More precisely, we calmed down only by midnight, and then for several more hours we simply basked in each other's arms, talking about our lives along the way. Wow, we lived side by side for two months, and we still didn’t have time to share so much! .. Even during the active part of our evening, we, moving be

“I don’t know you, we don’t know you,” he said slowly in the hoarse voice of Marlon Brando from The Godfather. “And then you come, you demand something, while not having our interests in mind at all. Tomorrow morning the guys and I will go to sea. For some, this exit may even be the last. Instead of morally supporting these fellows, you are pretending to be a princess...- What do you need? she interrupted, frowning. “Gold, scrolls, amulets, weapons?” I can give you anything.- Hey, woman! Kalran exclaimed reproachfully. “We will take the piastres and emeralds ourselves. Because we are pirates! All we need before this hike is a little affection and warmth!- You don't have enough whores? she protested.“It’s one thing to be a whore, and another thing to be a noble lady!” he remarked in a moralizing tone and glanced doubtfully at Barsina. I hope you're not a whore? She shook her head. “Five seconds for you to think. Then the train leaves. And the ship too.Barsina closed her eyes and p

- So I took it and passed it in one fell swoop!— But there is nothing! she responded and complained to Elune: “Can you imagine, Dima made a dirty trick even on our first date.- You? she frowned.- De no! Alena replied nonchalantly. “He soaked the girl who put him in jail well in water!”I even lost my jaw.“Yes, where…” I protested.“From there,” she stroked my chest and continued again: “Can you imagine, I’m such a fool, I came on a date, and this Corsican drowns a girl I don’t know in the fire extinguishing system!”- Where? On a date? The goddess didn't understand.“No, he hacked everything remotely, well, he monitored the process,” the girl giggled."Understood," Elune nodded. - So what happened?“Since a lady is involved in this matter, I must omit the details,” I spread my hands. - And the result is that I really did not calculate, and now it can get hot in here.- It will be safe here! the Goddess said. And in other places..."Would you like to stay at home for a while?" I as

“I thought that you and I were the same field of berries,” he chuckled.“Actions are more important than words,” I shrugged.“Then business,” he said.- Why didn't you get a report? I was surprised.“From the moment you were told that surveillance was off, what happens behind closed doors happens behind closed doors,” he explained.- And you come, - I invited, - I will give you a candle, you will stand next to me and hold it.He stopped abruptly and turned to me."I'll hit you," he said.“The main thing is not to overdo it,” I said."It's okay, I'm in a diaper," he replied calmly.I summoned the Spirit and wrapped myself in a protective shell."And I'm in the tank," I said.“Rogue,” he summed up, continuing to glare at me.“Listen, why did you do all this? I asked, unrolling him by the sleeve to continue moving.“I explained it to you,” he said angrily.“Yes, yes,” I agreed. — I heard all this dregs about the fact that she needs a protector. But, you see, everything turned out to be e

I made the jump. Not far, just three meters. I found myself in a bright hallway and turned around to see a figure standing at the intercom screen in a thick dressing gown and a scarf tightly covering her head. She, realizing that there was no one on the screen, jerked around. Her hands were in gloves, on her face was a mask and a veil on top so that even her eyes could not be seen.“It looks like it’s cold in your apartment,” I said, looking around. “Honestly, I was hoping to find you naked here.“And what would you do to me naked?” she asked in disbelief.- Well, what do dashing guys like me do with beautiful naked strangers? I asked.“If you saw me naked, then you would have a bear’s disease,” Alice promised.“I don’t believe it,” I clapped my hands.“And you are insolent,” she rasped, and slowly, clearly looking into my eyes, pulled off her gloves. I stepped towards her, carefully took her once burning hand in mine and kissed it. She trembled, but did not take her hands away, and I

- So? I didn't lag behind.“And then four mobile groups with heavy weapons are ready,” he said. “As soon as everything starts, I will give a signal…”“And they will magically appear in place?” I asked.“The estimated time of arrival is five to seven minutes,” Pavel promised. “In the city they will obviously cover us, so I hope we won’t be attacked in the city…”“Well, okay,” I agreed. — Where is your clunker?As he promised, no one attacked us in the city. Pavel said that he "copied" an extraneous observation, but the spies kept far enough away that they could not be identified. When we left the city limits and passed the spaceport, it took off a little higher and spread its short wings, going into cruise mode. According to him, those who were guiding us fell behind for a while, apparently confused, and he slowed down, at the same time moving away from the eight-level main road into fields where huge agricultural machines were crawling.He was saved by a bad premonition that I had at

I breathed on the cannon at the base, trying not so much to melt it as to jam it, while ignoring the periodically exploding heat-seeking missiles in front of my nose. Finally, I succeeded - I’m not sure about the “jammed”, but the thick gunmetal at the base of the gun became white hot, and I managed to bend it a little to the side with my paw. Now, now it is suitable for urban battles - it can shoot around the corner! I again exhaustedly settled down to rest, sadly seeing off the departing hits. Damn, but with health, I still had a bubble!I took out the Small Vial of Healing and drank it in one go. Well, what is a hundred units for my scale? Cheerfulness accumulated, and I flew up, wondering what to do. The mana seems to have also accumulated, and I can summon another Healing Spirit if I turn into a human. At the same time, however, something can fly to me, demolishing the remnants and taking my health into a deep minus ... I didn’t want to think about a “deep minus”. I automatically

Alena went to freshen up, and we finally, by collective efforts, finished preparing the morning feast. Elune traditionally made her divine pastries, which each time was different, but no less delicious for that. Dumplings, buns, croissants, puffs, cheesecakes and sills - none of this, once tried, was absolutely impossible to refuse. Most likely, they also gave some kind of buffs, but I did not receive any messages about this, and explained my daily high spirits by the presence of charming companions in my life.“My father-in-law wanted to meet me today,” I interrupted the concentrated silence during breakfast.Elena looked at me in surprise.- Do you have someone else besides us?- In terms of? I didn't understand.“Well, don’t you think that the fact that you were my first man gives you the right to claim something more?” she teased me. - He has a father-in-law, you see ...I made an offended face and pouted my lips:- Well, I so dreamed of a ring on my finger and rich dough!

On the first attempt, the cell phone failed to break through the foggy veil of sleep. No matter how hard he tried to dance the tarantella on the bedside table, no matter how he tried to throw his watch, a glass of water, a charger onto the floor with his vibrations, Katya did not wake up. Only slightly trembling eyelashes suggested that sweet oblivion is coming to an end, and you need to wake up and finally turn off this damn phone. Frightened that they would throw him on the floor, the phone fell silent for a minute, but only to voice his presence with new frenzy. Without opening her eyes, Katya reached for the bedside table. -Hello! - No, you're my friend or why! Instead of greeting, they shouted from the tube. It was Sveta and she was a friend. - What are you yelling? You are my friend, my friend, calm down. “Then, if so, why am I the last to know everything?” - I don't know what you should learn first, but I beg you, Light, go to the bathhouse! Let me sleep!

Slowly getting used to the light, Vomit heard heavy footsteps. Someone was heading towards him. Terror gripped the entire body of the great demon prince. He was unarmed and weak in the face of possible danger. Searchlights illuminated only a few meters, but then began the possession of impenetrable darkness.Out of the darkness came a short guy in black robes and a hood, holding a long sword in a sheath in his hands. The eerie aura of darkness that he exuded pierced through Vomit like a thousand blades. He was a demon prince, the greatest genius, but this guy... He crushed him like a bug. However, this intimidating aura seemed to Vomit.. Familiar?- Who are you? Why are you doing this? You do realize it's not just the Bloodrain family that's going to hitch up for me, right? Or were you sent by your father?- Who am i? - The guy whispered, leaning to my very face and I managed to look under the hood.- Fuck my dick...He stepped back a few steps.Yes, that's a good, very good question.

Loud footsteps cut the silence of the night city.Azrael breathed in the cold, foul air. Moongate was the most ordinary industrial metropolis. Massive crowds, most of which were office rats, glass, concrete, and rebar buildings eighty or more stories high, an advanced subway system, and a terrible stench from defense factories in the east. Alas, the use of magic could not make production more environmentally friendly, as magicians and scientists did not break their heads, their efforts were useless. Moongate has been an open domain since its inception, humans and demons have long since learned to coexist side by side. And not only to coexist, but also to cooperate with each other. The magic possessed by the demons made it possible to raise the standard of living of ordinary citizens of Moongate, technologies, combined with magic made it possible to achieve amazing results in the production of public goods, and almost all the citizens of the infernal city lived comfortably. But still,

The gang leader screamed in panic and ran wherever his eyes looked, but he could not run far. Azrael sheathed the tati, and in the blink of an eye the criminal lost his legs and fell. Azrael slowly approached him and stepped on his back with his foot. - Well, what are you .. You squeal like a pig. Where is all your confidence and strength? There your friends have already acidified .. What a pity. And we'll have some fun with you ...The gang leader tried to say something, but instead he only began to spit blood. What, you don't like hanging out? Do you even know, mediocrity, how many people's blood is on that sword? Azrael took out the tati again, its blade sparkling in the moonlight. He put it to the bandit's ear. “People like you are not even worthy of human death. You are worse than animals. I must apologize to the pigs for comparing you to them. Azrael cut off the bandit's ear. He screamed wildly, choking on blood. “Tell me what pain is…” Azrael slashed his second ear with his s

Azrael opened his eyes. He stood in the middle of a wonderful garden. Sakura branches covered the sky, rose petals slowly fell to the ground. Azrael tried to catch one of the petals, but failed. He could feel his body, he could move his limbs, but he could not interact with the world that surrounded him.“Oh no.. Not this… Not again…”Nightmares. They tortured Azrael whenever he closed his eyes.A handsome man of about forty entered the garden. He was dressed in a long gray kimono with large shoulder pads and a conical hat, with two swords at his belt - a katana and a wakizashi. Long black hair was pulled back into a ponytail, and there was a kind smile on his face, blue eyes shone with warmth and care.- Dad, dad!Following the man into the garden, a boy of about seven, wearing a clean white kimono and a short sword in his belt, ran into the garden.All this seemed terribly familiar to Azrael. And this place, and these people.. As if he was already here.“Did you want to ask somethin

Azrael stood on the roof of a tall skyscraper, enjoying the view of the starry sky.“Something you’ve been waiting for a long time, I’ve already been waiting for ..” He turned to take steps, a grin appeared on his face, exposing a row of sharp teeth.Opposite him stood a girl in a school uniform, 13-14 years old.- I love places like this. I'll have to thank the master for sending me here. Black as the soul of a killer, the sky with the stars of sorrow framing it. It's just amazing..A sharp sword appeared in the girl's hands, ignited with blue fire. Two faint tears rolled down her cheeks.“What I love about the magical copies created by Nick is because they are endowed with a human mind. Unlike ordinary soulless puppet creatures saturated with magic, you can feel and experience emotions. Just like real people. Having fun with such toys is a real pleasure peak.

The message only meant that no one on the planet uses electromagnetic waves to exchange messages, and that's all - but with a high probability there is no civilization here "Increased levels of carbon dioxide Increased nitrogen content Increased content of methane Evolved flora discovered Fauna discovered» Not quite the right atmosphere - it's not scary. At least for Elune, there is no such problem, which means that the atmosphere will be as it should be. Several shot probes reached the surface, and the ship's broadcast flashed with images of the species encountered - a couple of species of herbivores, several predators, a rich set of birds, various fish, reptiles and of course thousands of species of insects ... A complete set, in general - on many planets there is none. Some of them may even be intelligent, but we won't know that until the troops land. In the meantime, we are not convinced of the absence of intelligence on the planet, we cannot touch it ... - How beautiful! Al

- Sorry, what? I asked when I heard my name."My granddaughter said she loves our glorious new flying tradition," Darius repeated, smiling.“I just noticed that Dima had a great idea,” Atossa objected. - But only.“And I, as the only captain and, accordingly, the admiral of our entire fleet, immediately decided to declare this a tradition,” he chuckled good-naturedly.- Despot! Atossa growled caustically.“Technically, I'm only an admiral,” Darius objected, “and the despot is sitting over there surrounded by his flower garden,” and he bowed his head politely.- A vile slander, - I answered, - I did not tyrannize anyone at all and did not despot ...“If you start arguing, then instead of enjoying the view of Jupiter, you will receive honors from the subjects in turn,” he promised. “And I’m not sure that everyone will agree to kissing only the hand.”I shuddered, suddenly realizing that everyone without exception, both the crew and the passengers, was looking at me.

“Are we unable to offer them anything?” he asked in bewilderment.“Already offered,” I nodded. - And this proposal can be considered the first contribution to good neighborly relations.Do you mean Barliona? - he asked.“Yes, Barliona,” I confirmed. “Just not quite in the way you understand it."Then tell me," he invited again.“When Elune was locked up in Barliona…” I began, and I noticed how the interlocutor grimaced. Well, yes, I mentioned supernatural powers again. “Sergei, it is high time for you to understand that Elune is indeed a higher being and that she is as real as the world around us. The fact that it was our technology that made it possible to make an incredibly gigantic leap, the results of which amazed even the Ancients, is a matter of pride.“Good, good,” he hastened to agree, already knowing that I was ready to extol my beloved for hours. All loved ones. “You are right, I really should sometimes cast aside the cynicism that has ingrained in the pores of the skin in o
