Ouch! There it was again. Scowling at herself, she was positive it was from the healthy glass of wine she had when Kelsey was over last night. Why did everything that was fun almost always have some consequences? Well, okay she could think of some fun things to do that she wouldn’t get a headache from the next day, if she overindulged. The sides of her mouth formed a slow grin. Sex for one. Ryder’s dark brown eyes and that handsome face materialized in her mind. Where’d his great body go? Ah, here it is . . . his hard, great body was there now, too. Naked. She swallowed a few times. Great, the throbbing in her head was gone but now she ached somewhere else. She wanted Ryder, but what could she do about it? Her gaze swept over her room. Dust particles floated in front of the stream of light that snuck through her window blind slats. Metamaterials drizzled through her thought of consciousness. Just as the light particles danced in front of her eyes, this is what metamaterials theoretically can do.
