guys I saw at Mega Mart? I told
you about them watching everyone, and, and about their leather pants. I swear
to god, it’s them!” Frantically pointing again at the men standing next to the president,
she hopped up and down. Being able to see them clearly now, she realized how
fucking hot they were. They were much taller than the president, who happened
to be a little over six feet himself, and they were buff. All four men were
broad in the shoulders but seemed lean everywhere else.
    “Wow. They are hot,” Pixie said, eyeballing each of
the men and fanning her face.
    Hell yeah they were smokin’. These men were the entire
package. Strong jaws, great hair, and boy, did they fill out leather pants well.
    “Shhhhhhh, he’s talking.”
    “Good afternoon, everyone. I am happy to introduce you to
some members of the Phaeton Council. Many of you have questions regarding their
species and they are here to answer those inquiries.” Stepping back from the
microphone, he gestured toward the man closest to him.
    “Holy. Fucking. Shit.” Poppy was having trouble breathing.
    These were the aliens. And she had seen them. In person. And
they were hot . Not just a little hot, but really hot .
    While her brain was trying to play catch-up, Poppy sat
stunned at what was in front of her. Not able to make a sound, both women were
glued to the TV. As the camera panned to the man closest to the president,
Poppy almost drooled over the gorgeousness filling the screen. When he started
talking in a deep voice, she felt like melting into a puddle on her couch.
    The Phaetons who were representing their race took turns
answering questions that had obviously been pre-screened for the conference.
Poppy threw all thoughts of little green men right out of her head. If this was
what the aliens looked like, what the hell was she waiting for?
    When the conference ended, Poppy and Pixie still both sat
stunned.
    Finally clearing her throat to move the frog that seemed to
have appeared there, Poppy could only say one thing. “Wow.”
    Pixie nodded enthusiastically. “Exactly. Wow.”
    “They are gorgeous…and not…alien-y.” Poppy was still trying
to connect the dots as to why they’d been at Mega Mart. When people had been
told the aliens were here to “observe”, she had assumed they were watching from
their ships. It hadn’t even crossed her mind they would have been walking
around among humans. Of course, at that time, she had imagined they wouldn’t
appear “normal”. Aliens were supposed to be green, dammit! Not smokin’ hot guys
tempting Poppy into doing something she knew Pixie would think crazy.
    Seeing the expression on Pixie’s face that always came right
before a lecture, Poppy quickly popped in the movie to take her sister’s mind
off the aliens. Since the DVD was one Poppy had seen before, she knew she’d be
able to at least pretend she was watching it while her mind whirled with the
possibilities of a sexy alien man in leather pants.
    That evening, after Pixie had left and Poppy had locked up
her apartment, she did something that had her hands shaking. Poppy logged on to
the State Department website to view the application for the Bridal Pact. There
had obviously been quite a few visitors to the site. The system crashed twice
due to high traffic issues before she was even able to click on the link. Not
wanting to take a chance of having to start all over, she quickly hit the Print
button on her laptop.
    She reasoned, “It’s not like I’m going to fill it out. I’m
just curious about the questions.”
    After scanning the paperwork she now held in her hands,
Poppy admitted some of the questions were pretty invasive. Setting the stack on
her nightstand, she tried to get some sleep. After an hour had passed with
Poppy tossing and turning, she finally turned to the packet of papers that was
keeping her awake. She picked up the application and walked to the kitchen
table.
    “For fuck’s sake, this is going to drive me
