Simone’s Notes:

Passion and desire are close relatives of each other. It drives human beings to do the unthinkable. Passion is even related to obsession at times. The feeling is one of the key elements with pleasure needed for sex. Passion is the fire in relationships and goals. But like fire, passion is extinguished over time. But passion and fire can always be refueled.

Steven had been in happiness for the past three weeks. He and Yasmine had been dating now. The lt. colonel had met her friends and they seemed to like him. Paul had met Yas and they seemed to be getting along nicely. His son even said that this was the one! Even Steven’s friends were all proud of him this time! Everyone kept telling him, “Don’t screw this one up this time!” The lt. colonel was trying his hardest to keep everything going right for once. So far, that wasn’t too hard to do. Yas seemed to enjoy every little thing that he did. It all was nice, but yet, something was still on Steven’s mind. Ella warned him to take things slow with Yasmine. “There are so much that you don’t know about her,” she told him. What did she mean by that? Was it something bad? Did it have something to do with her dead son? The man had been caught in this dilemma for weeks. Part of him wanted to know what was so bad that it had to be a secret. But yet…

“Are you kidding?” Don exclaimed aloud. “You can’t pry too deep yet! That’s just asking for trouble!” The lieutenant colonel had turned to his friends for help this afternoon. He would normally go to Hughes, but he wasn’t in at the moment. (Probably dealing with the Night Slayer case today, he supposed.) “But it won’t leave my head!” Steven went on. “So?” Jim cut in. “She’ll tell you when she’s ready to!” “But what if she doesn’t?” the lt. colonel asked. “Well then,” Andrew spoke up. “You just aren’t meant to know!” Steven thought about all of that for a moment. Then he said, “I guess, you’re right!” The three men smiled and nodded at him. “Oh that is the biggest bullshit I’ve ever heard!” someone yelled out. All four men looked up to see Ian in the doorway. He had just come down to the locker room because he had forgotten something. Andrew glared at him coldly. “And how would you know?” he asked. Ian stepped forward smiling. “Because,” he replied. “I too had a few relationships of my own as well.” Andrew, Jim, and Don rolled their eyes. “How long have you been listening to us?” Jim asked annoyed. “Long enough!” Ian answered. Steven rushed over to him. “Could you help me out?” he asked quickly. The brigadier general smiled kindly. “Sure!” he answered. “Come with me!” Then, the lt. colonel and Ian headed out the door talking.

Meanwhile, Yasmine and Syd were sitting on the porch of her apartment in the afternoon. “Any sign of Trent yet?” he asked. “Nope!” Yas answered. “Damn it!” her boss-friend replied. “I want his head so badly!” “Don’t worry,” the hunter replied. “He’ll surface his ugly head when he’s ready! But I want to get this bounty over with as soon as possible. I don’t want to drag these people into our problems!” “Why?” Syd asked in sarcasm. “You already have that Steven guy in your life! Who else can you *possibly* drag in!” Yasmine glared at him crossly. “Don’t be like that!” she said sharply. “I love him! He’s a good man! Don’t ask me how I know! I just do!” “Fine!” Syd said as he rolled his eyes. Yas smiled a little bit. “Thank you!” she said. “Now, don’t spoil this for me! I haven’t felt this happy since I first found out that I was pregnant!” “What-ever!” her boss-friend mumbled as he rolled his eyes. Yasmine smiled again. Then, they both sat back in silence.

Syd looked out to the yard again as he took another drink. “Well speak of the devil!” he called out. “Your little boyfriend is here!” Yasmine quickly looked up. There he was. Steven was walking up to her apartment. Her heart raced in deep joy. Her boss-friend rolled his eyes again. “That’s my cue to leave!” he said to himself. “See ya, Yas!” “Bye!” the hunter replied. Then, Syd rose to his feet and walked away. Yas herself rose to her feet and headed down the walk. Steven looked up and smiled brightly. “Hi there!” he called cheerfully. Yasmine smiled and embraced him tightly. The lt. colonel kissed her lightly on the lips. The hunter kissed back sweetly. Then, she led him into the apartment by the hand.

“Steven, what are you doing here?” she asked once they were inside. She was getting him and herself a glass from them to have some lemonade. Her boyfriend was sitting at the small oak dining room table. Steven swallowed hard. “I have a few questions for you.” he replied. “Oh?” Yas replied. “Like what?” Steven took in a deep breath. “Your son.” he replied. Yas froze hard in the kitchen. Her boyfriend slowly looked up. “I just want to know,” he went on. “What did you mean when you said that he was taken from you? Was it an abortion?” There was no answer. “Yas?” the lt. colonel asked. He listened really closely. All of the sudden, he heard sobbing. The guy felt bad all of a sudden. “Yas?” he asked in concern. “What’s wrong? Was it something I said?” The faucet turned on heavily. The lt. colonel quickly hurried into the kitchen. He found Yasmine standing over the sink crying big tears. Steven now wished he had never asked the question in the first place. He slowly approached her with loving arms. “Hey,” he said softly. “I didn’t mean to sound antagonizing to you. I just wanted to get to know you better.” “Get out!” Yas said softly. Steven paused. “What?” he asked softly. “Get out of here!” she said strongly. “Just go away!!!” “But…” he began. “GO AWAY!!!” his girlfriend screamed. “Okay,” Steven said softly. Then, he quickly left the apartment.

The lt. colonel thought that he had really messed up this time. “Why does this always happen to me?” he thought. “Every time I get close to someone, I go and screw it all up!” Steven could just hear his friends and Paul talking to him now. “How did you manage to screw this one up?” they would ask. “You had it so good. This is just typical of you!” The lt. colonel sat down and buried his face in his hands. Lucky for him, Paul wasn’t home to witness this latest defeat. But little did he knew, his luck was about to turn around.

Steven was lost in his defeat when he heard knocking on the door. He slowly raised his head and looked at the door. “Huh?” he thought. “Paul’s not supposed to be back until morning. Who can it be so late at this hour?” Curious, the lt. colonel slowly rose to his feet and walked over to the door. He peeked out to see Yasmine standing on the other side. The guy became confused. “What does she want?” he thought. Nervous, Steven slowly opened the door. Yas was teary-eyed and looking at him pitifully. “Look,” she said. “If there is anything you want to know about me, I’ll be happy to tell you. I just want to spend the rest of my days with you!” Steven looked at her with big eyes of love. “That’s all I want to know!” he replied. Then, he embraced her tightly and kissed her on the lips. Yasmine kissed back quickly. Her boyfriend dragged her inside and locked the door behind them. Steven pinned Yasmine up against a wall began kissing her wildly. The hunter reached forward and began unbuttoning his white dress shirt. The lt. colonel tried to keep still as she slid off his shirt. He slipped his tongue into her sweet mouth. Yasmine greeted it warmly.

Steven then led his girlfriend to his bedroom. Yas fell back onto the bed, taking him with her. Steven put his hands to her dark blue tank top and began sliding it off. Once it was in his hands, the lt. colonel threw it straight to the ground. Then, Steven slid his hands behind her lovely back and began unhooking her black satin bra. Yasmine moaned at his gentle touch. He removed the cloth and tossed it to the ground. Yas reached up and undid his dark blue pants. She yanked them down and off. Then, the hunter grabbed a hold of his black boxers and slid then off. The guy’s rod was hard and throbbing. Steven reached down and undid her black khakis. He worked them down in a rush. The lt. colonel then grabbed her soft black panties and pulled them down. His girlfriend quickly spread her legs under him. Steven took a deep look at her. Yas’s body was a lovely thing to behold. “Oh God!” he breathed out in joy. “You are beautiful!” His bird lightly blushed at that comment.

He slowly leaned down to her ear. “I have something for you,” he whispered. “Hold on!” Then, he climbed off of her and reached into the drawer. The guy drew out a condom, unwrapped it, and slid it on. Then, he climbed back on top of her. Steven then tightly grabbed onto her shoulders and shoved himself inside of her. Yasmine softly moaned at the feeling of her in her. “You’re really tight!” Steven gasped out. “I haven’t done it in a while.” she said softly. Her boyfriend pinned her down hard and began pulling in and out of her slowly. Soft moans escaped his girlfriend’s lips. Steven sank down to her and lightly kissed her on them as he sped up even more. Yasmine just held onto him tightly as he did so and slipped his tongue into his mouth. Her boyfriend was more than happy to have his tongue greet hers as he sped up even more. Yas quickly wrapped her legs around her lover tightly. The passionate flames kept growing higher and higher with each thrust.

Within thirty minutes, Steven came hard within the condom. He moaned loudly within her mouth. Yasmine let her slender body go limp in tired happiness. Her boyfriend just lied there on her panting. “Wow!” he said at last. “That was great!” “Mmm.” Yasmine replied as she began slipping into a peaceful. Steven lightly brushed her dark bangs aside and lightly kissed her on the forehead. “I love you.” he whispered softly to her. Then, the lt. colonel laid his head on her soft pillow-like breasts and went to sleep.

Meanwhile above, Ai-Oni, Nyious, and Envy had been watching the sexy show. “It all keeps getting better!” Ai-Oni called aloud. The boys said nothing and kept watching. Then, the devil woman remembered a great idea she had days ago. And with that, she headed downstairs in a flash. Nyious and Envy quickly looked up and followed her. “And where are you going?” the homunculus asked her suspiciously. The host looked up at her boys smiling as she slid on her thin black cloak. “Oh,” she replied. “Just to see an old ‘friend’ of mine!” “Why?” Envy asked. “You’ll see!” she answered. Then, Ai-Oni went out the door and closed it behind her. Envy and Nyious kept watching. “She’s plotting something big again!” her brother summed up. “It better make the game even better!” Envy said sharply. “Oh, it will!” Nyious spoke up in pride. “It will!” The homunculus snickered to himself. “Good!” he replied. Then, they headed back upstairs to the dining room to watch more of the game.
