The Deep End

Hot sex all afternoon with her old love Evan has inflamed all Taj’s sensual nerves. Evan, though now back with his Ro, indicates his continuing interest in Taj.
Taj teaches a healing innovation to her platoon mates and to David, the stunningly gorgeous Amerind Head of Surgery.
The physical intimacy involved heats her to unbearable levels, exacerbated by David’s continuing hot glances as he focuses on her to maintain the arousal a male needs to heal. Taj feels as if basting in her own juices over a slow fire.
Taj is exhausted, strung out, a furnace of hot desire, but with so many horribly burnt children to heal, there is no time for her own comfort.
Ro, in emergency mode, comes up with further ways to speed the healing and within another day the team can see that the apparently insurmountable task is not impossible after all.
So much else happens.
They raid Typhon and her old companions, those still living, are recovered.
There is a shocking but very welcome surprise and Taj finally finds her mother.
At one stage she sees David naked and he proves to have an even better body than she had been imagining.
Evan proves his continuing love and again manages to sate her desire and his.
Ro is being drained continuously, and is attacked by several unknown enemies.
Evan and Taj organize all the Creatives into supporting Ro day and night to rebuild her strength, but it is not enough. They are losing the battle to save her. There has to be another answer.
