Drake Sisters 04 - Dangerous Tides

moved, tightening her muscles deliberately, using her body as if she were slow dancing seductively on a pole. The more his breath turned ragged, the more she responded by grinding down over him, and milking him with her tight, inner muscles.

    The orgasm rushed over both of them, taking them by surprise with its intensity. They clung to one another, trying to slow their hearts and recover their ability to breathe. Instead of allowing her legs to fall naturally to the floor, he eased her back onto the counter, kissing her over and over.

    She lost herself in his passion, her body still sizzling with pleasure, rippling around his with strong aftershocks. "I'm sure this is unsanitary," she pointed out when she could talk again.

    "We aren't using it for anything else," he said, reaching for a roll of paper towels. "I think this room is perfect."

    "Sanitary or not, I'm fixing you food and you're going to eat it, Ty, so you may as well resign yourself to telling me all about your new ideas on the drug before you disappear again. I'll leave you alone after you eat so you can work your little heart out."

    "I thought you said you didn't cook."

    She gave him a little smirk. "I didn't say it would be good, only that you had to eat it."

    "Fortunately for me, and maybe our kitchen, I forgot to buy groceries."

    "Nothing?"

    "Only the essentials."

    "And that would be?" Libby asked.

    He shrugged with a small grin. "Coffee and paper towels. I'm messy." He pointed to the coffee maker already filled with the dark liquid and then to her wet thighs.

    "You crazy man. I'll run to the nearest diner and get you something much more nutritious and substantial."

    He poured himself a cup of coffee. "I already had something nutritious and substantial. You're enough for me to live on. If you want to just lie on the counter, I'll do my best to devour you." He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

    "You know," she said casually. "I've been thinking of doing another article for the American Medical Journal ."

    "Really? On what?"

    "Male multiple orgasms. You'd make a fantastic study. I'm thinking if we have sex a few times with you hooked up to an EEG…" She broke off with a little laughing cry of alarm as he put down his coffee mug and swooped down on her. "I was joking. It was a joke!"

    He wrapped his arm around her neck and ruffled her hair, ducking his head to kiss her again. "Get dressed and quit trying to tempt me. You can drop me at the other house, that way we'll both have a car.
    I need to talk to Sam and make a few phone calls. I have things at the lab I'm hoping didn't get ruined in the explosion. Most of the blast went to the left side of the room, damaging everything there, but if I'm lucky a few things escaped. We can meet back here later this evening."

    Libby noticed he hadn't mentioned food again. He was obviously eager to test whatever theory he'd come up with. She waited until they were both dressed and in the car, heading down the highway toward Generated by ABC Amber LIT Conv erter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html
    the Chapman house before she said, "You didn't tell me what you think about the drug."

    He shoved his hand through his hair, a habit she'd noted when he was excited or agitated. "I think Harry was definitely on the right track. There's a good chance that this drug can be used to at least keep the cancer cells from growing—much like hormone therapy for breast cancer. The problem is that the risk to adolescents is too high."

    "And you think you've discovered the answer to the problem?"

    "Depression can be caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, right? We know that already.
    Serotonin helps sends electrical messages from one nerve cell to the other. In the process serotonin is released from the sender nerve cell to the receiver nerve cell where it is either released or travels back to the original sender cell. Depression can occur when the serotonin levels are out of balance."

    "Which is why antidepressants work."

    He held up his hand. "But not always the same in adolescent brains as in adult brains, right? There are problems even with those drugs."

    "That's true."

    "Near where the Ibenkiki cyperus plant grows in the Peruvian rain forest is a fungus called the Balansia fungus. It contains alkaloids and naturally infests the Ibenkiki plant. I thought the Balansia is the source of the medicinal properties, but
