- Bobby... Is this your album.
At the words of Barek, who had just taken her photo album in her hands and was sitting next to Alexa, Goren nodded.
Strangely...
Goren had enjoyed the evening.
Logan hadn't tried anything with Alexa, and he'd been pleasant company.
- Can I look at it.
- Yes... You...
The light went out suddenly, startling the four of them.
- It's the fuses.
Good heavens...
Eames certainly hadn't expected this.
In addition, she was the only one who knew where the circuit breaker was, since she hadn't found it useful to tell Goren where it was.
Knowing that he knew where it was.
But not this Goren.
That's what she'd forgotten.
Without hesitation, she rose hastily from the sofa.
- I'll go Alex. Logan didn't waste a second stepping into the darkness, but stopped dead in his tracks when he realized he didn't know where the light switch was. Where's your light switch, by the way.
At Logan's words, Eames had to bite his lip to keep from bursting out laughing.
Logan had rushed over without even knowing where the switch was, and he realized the absurdity of the whole thing.
- It's right above the kitchen table.
Above the kitchen table…

Logan didn't waste a second, and made his way through the dark towards the kitchen.
- Alexa.
At Goren's voice calling his name, Eames tried to head in his direction.
But it was so dark, it was hard to know exactly where he was.
Eames knew roughly where.
But with this darkness.
Eames felt something hard hit her, which made her stop, and snap out of her thoughts.
- I'm so sorry.
At Goren's voice, which was nothing more than a whisper, Eames realized it was him she'd just bumped into.
- It's nothing, Bobby.
Eames felt long, slender fingers resting on her arm, moving up her body to the back of her neck.

At this caress, Eames burst into flames, letting out a low moan.
A moan that didn't escape Goren's ears.
They were in the dark, Logan and Barek couldn't see them.
And by the time Logan found the switch, he had time to do what he had in mind.
So gently, he lowered his face to hers, brought his lips to hers, but instead of brushing her lips, he touched her nose.
- I'm sorry, Alexa.
His words said so awkwardly, Eames felt her heart melt.
And the idea that he was trying to steal a kiss from her, while Barek and Logan were next door, was very exciting.
Especially as, in this darkness, neither of them could see what was going on.
So Eames didn't hesitate for a second.
She stood on tiptoe, brought her hand up to his face, and let her slender little fingers slide down his face, to his lips, and when she reached his lips, she replaced her fingers with his lips, brushing against them.
At the sweetness of this kiss, Goren's whole body burst into flames.
He wrapped his arms around her waist, drew her against him, and took possession of her lips, intertwining their tongues in a frenzied dance.
At this fiery kiss, Eames lost all notion, she reached out to Goren's half-ebony, half-ashen curls, clasped them, and pressed her small chest against his powerful torso.

Crazy with desire for Alexa, he grabbed her by the hips and pressed his member against her intimacy, making her squeal, which he muffled with his kisses.
He pulled away from her lips to slide them along the nape of her neck, and couldn't hold on any longer, plunging his head into her nascent throat.
- Oh Alexa...
- And there was light.
At Logan's shrieks in the kitchen, and the light that flashed on, illuminating them, Goren and Eames stepped aside, their faces flushed and daring to look at each other, under Barek's gaze, which never left them, his mouth wide open.
Good God...
Had she been dreaming what she had glimpsed when the light lit up the room again.
She'd seen Goren with his head buried in Eames's burgeoning throat, and an Eames who was enjoying it, given that she had her head tipped back and was clutching her curls.
But Barek couldn't doubt what she'd seen.

Seeing the reaction of Eames and Goren, that reaction they had in that moment, that guilty look.
Good God...
If she'd suspected that.
So Eames wasn't just taking Goren in, or supporting him in his illness.
She lavished other little cares on him, and Goren seemed to return them in kind.
- Caro...
At Logan's voice, and the footsteps that had just stopped right beside her, Barek snapped out of his thoughts, and tried to put his face back together again, especially so Logan wouldn't suspect.
- Something's wrong.
Something's wrong...
If Logan knew.
But she couldn't tell him.
Otherwise, for these two, these two guilty people in front of her, it would be the end of their little peace and quiet.
- I thought I saw something.
Barek had thought he saw something.
And what.
When he'd arrived in the living room, he'd seen Barek's stunned face, as if she'd been shocked by what she'd just seen.
And her eyes, just as they had been when he'd arrived in the room, didn't leave Goren and Eames, who were all red-faced and didn't dare look at each other.
As if they were the ones who had put Barek in this state.

In addition, why were Goren and Eames behaving like this.
It was all very suspicious.
At the insistent look Logan was giving Eames and Logan, Barek decided it was time to intervene, or he'd be able to figure it out eventually.
- Alex... Carolyn walked over to Alex, and took his arm. I need to talk to you right away.
- But...
Barek ignored Eames's plea and forced her to follow.
No.
Barek wouldn't be fooled.
She would have a talk with Eames, whether she liked it or not.

Arriving in Eames's room, which Barek discovered was no longer Eames's bedroom, but Goren's, with his belongings installed there, Barek closed the door behind her, let go of Eames's arm, and came to stand in front of her.
- How long have you and Goren been going at it.

How long had it been between her and Goren...
But Barek was totally wrong.
Between her and Goren, there was nothing but kissing.
Now, Eames had to admit that tonight, Goren had ventured a little further, and she'd loved it.
But there had never been more.
- It's not what you think.
Not what she thought.
She'd seen Goren's head plunge into her nascent throat.
And that wasn't nothing.
And the way he held her by the hips, their crotches tight.
- Not what I think...
Barek screamed, unable to control himself.
But something white and black on the bed caught her eye, which set things off even more.
She reached for the white thing - two pieces of fabric, much to Eames' dismay - and took it in her hands.
My God...
It was a woman's t-shirt and shorts.
And not just any shorts.
They were Eames'.
- Goren and you…

Eames rushed over to Barek, to take the clothes from her hands, and hold them against her.
- It's not what you think.
Not what she thought.
Then what was it.
The Eames clothes were there on the bed where Goren slept.
That could only mean one thing.
That Eames was sharing Goren's bed.
- If my night clothes are here... there's a reason...
A reason...
Of course there was a reason.
And only one.
Eames and Goren were sleeping together.
- Carolyn... Let me explain.
Eames motioned for Barek to sit on the bed, while she remained standing.
- Very well... Barek went to sit on the bed, trying to keep calm. I'm all ears.
Then Eames took a deep breath and began to tell Barek everything.

Bobby's nightmares, that at first she'd stayed with him to calm him down, but that she'd gone back, or at least thought she'd gone back, to sleep in his room, and in the morning she'd still be in his arms, without knowing why.
That, at Goren's request, she'd agreed to sleep with him at night, and that he was having fewer and fewer nightmares. And that little by little, they'd begun to kiss.
- ...But they were only innocent little kisses.
Innocent little kisses...
Not what Barek had seen a few minutes ago.
But the fact that Eames slept at Goren's side she could understand.
When she'd told him about Goren's nightmares, about all the blood he saw, she'd understood why Eames stayed by his side. She wanted to help him, and above all, to support him. And that was normal.
But there was nothing innocent about that little kiss...
There was nothing innocent about it.
Quite the opposite, in fact.

Barek was sure that if Logan hadn't turned the light back on in time, they would have ended up committing the irreparable, even with her and Logan next to each other.
For Barek had seen the fire smoldering between them.
- He kissed me the first time.
At this admission, said fiercely and red-faced, Eames only sank deeper.
- And so you let him.
Let him.
Yes and no.
For Eames had to admit that while it was always Goren who kissed her first, she always asked for more, and often took command.
But Eames couldn't see what Barek was getting so worked up about.
Where was the harm.
If she and Goren wanted to kiss.
That was their right.
- Very well... I can't necessarily approve and you know the reason. Barek raised his big brown eyes to Eames. But I wouldn't object.
Barek wouldn't object.
I don't understand.
Did that mean she wouldn't interfere.
And let her and Goren kiss even if she didn't agree.
- But you'll have to be careful. Barek emphasized his last words. If Logan... Or anyone else found out what was going on...
At his words, Eames nodded.
Yes, she could see what Barek was getting at.
And in the future, Eames would have to show more restraint, and so would Goren.

- I hope Barek doesn't blame Alexa for what happened between me and her.
Pardon.
Had Logan misheard.
What had happened between Goren and Eames.
And what had happened exactly.
- What do you want her to blame him for.
- My head buried in her nascent throat.
- You what.
At Logan's shout, Goren gasped, realizing he'd just said out loud what he thought was going on in his head.
- You had your head buried in Eames' nascent throat.
Goren put his hand to the back of his neck and looked away, not daring to look at Logan, embarrassed and ashamed.
So much for news...
It was.
Goren, who during their partnership proclaimed loud and clear to anyone who would listen that Eames was like his sister.
And that there would never be another
Well, he'd just proved him wrong.
It had taken this accident, Goren's loss of memory, for him to finally realize that Eames wasn't just a little sister to him.
But now Logan knew he'd have to tell Goren to be careful.
Not in relation to Barek, him to him.
But in relation to the others.
And Logan understood better why Barek had been so adamant about talking to Eames right away.
And Logan was going to have to do the same, talk to Goren.
- Bobby... we have to talk.
