  DEDICATION

  Dear Readers,

  First off, I want to say thank you. If it weren’t for all of you, I would not be doing this today.

  Since the beginning of Treasure Cove, every one of you has stuck with me, encouraged me, laughed, cried, and gasped with me as the residents of Treasure Cove lived their lives. Through it all, you have been there as I continued my journey, and because of that, I wanted to give you something back, something I knew all of you had been waiting for.

  From the first moment I introduced the crazy characters of Celestial, I knew there was something special about them, from Pisces, the naked Sheriff, to Pandora, the crazy Goth-hippie receptionist at the Best Lay Hotel. All of them, every one, has been a joy to write about and create, and they are all for you…my readers, my friends.

  Celestial Nights is my gift to you, my thank-you.

  Prologue

  “I don’t give a shit, Mr. Deveroux,” Tristan Summerfield shouted into his phone and Aries cringed. He really hated that bastard sometimes. “I need you in Celestial. You are from this area. You know the locals better than anyone.”

  “I understand that, Mr. Summerfield, but I haven’t been home for six years.” Shit, the last time he was home, he said good-bye to everyone, knowing damn well he was never going to return. It wasn’t that he didn’t like where he was born and raised, it was just that there was nothing left for him there. He wanted more out of his life than crazy Wiccan rituals and Super Slip ‘N Slide Sundays.

  “Then it’s time for a family reunion.”

  “Mr. Summerfield, I just started the advertisement campaign for a new location. I have a presentation tomorrow with the bankers and the board members. I can’t just leave in the middle of this.”

  “Fine,” Tristan grumbled. “I want you in Celestial as soon as the bank signs off on the expansion. Aries, I need that town. I don’t care what you have to do to get the town council to approve the expansion. I need those signatures.”

  “Yes sir.” Aries Deveroux sighed as the phone went dead. “I understand, sir.”

  Looking at the boards before him, Aries wondered why he even took this job in the first place. He knew the only reason Mr. Summerfield hired him was because he was from Celestial, but he did know why that mattered. Since working for Summerfield Industries, a lot of mergers had been occurring, more than usual. Through it all, Tristan made damn sure that Aries was happy and content with his position within the company.

  Aries wished he knew what was going on in Tristan’s mind. Then again he wished he’d never met the man. Aries sometimes felt as if he was just a pawn in the greater scheme of things. Only time would tell, what Tristan Summerfield was truly up to, and until then Aries had a job to do. He didn’t relish the idea of leaving New York and heading back to Celestial. It
was a step down, a mistake in the making, because he knew it wouldn’t take long for the town of Celestial to suck him back into their crazy, wacky way of life. And those people were batshit crazy!

  Regardless of what he wanted to do, Aries needed to finish the proposal for the bankers and get them to sign off on it. Then he needed to head to his condo and pack a bag because it looked like he was heading home to Celestial.

  Chapter One

  “Starburst and Skittles!”

  It took a lot to get Capri Sun Chantilly angry, but when she did, she went with it. Shouting as she hung up the phone, Capri threw her sparkly fluff ball against the wall and then felt sorry she lost her temper. Yeah, being a true pacifist was a pain in the rump sometimes. Regardless of her foul mood, there was nothing she could do about the impending doom that was about to fall upon her.

  However, taking a quick peek out the window of her office took away her frown. Across the street, she looked upon at the 5th Dimension and smiled. She knew that Aquarius would help her out without too much complaint if she asked him. He’d always been sweet on her, ever since high school, that and she knew he could use the extra money. The only problem was she disliked relying on him so much.

  For years, Capri and Aquarius had what the cosmos declared as an “on-again, off-again” relationship. Their couplings were out of this world, but like any good orgasm, eventually it faded, then came the reality and reality sucked…Big time. For her, Capri knew that there would only ever be Aquarius. However, it wasn’t like that for him. Nope, the love of her life, wanted more and she didn’t have all the right equipment. Oh, she had most of the major parts, but she lacked one important part of the human anatomy, and that was the crux of their relationship. She didn’t have a penis.

  Not criticizing the divine creator, Capri just thought that if she had a penis, then all of her worries would disappear. But then, if she did have a long john, why would she need Aquarius? Because when it came to penises, Aquarius’s was without a doubt, a fulfilling piece of meat flesh. Shaking off the image in her head, Capri picked up her phone again and dialed the number for The 5th Dimension.

  The local liquor and herb store was Aquarius’s baby. Of course, his baby would make more money if he stopped drinking and experimenting with his merchandise, but that was only her opinion. He didn’t see her taking advantage of The Love Den’s frivolities. Nope, she left the baby making stuff to her customers and only did readings when someone asked.

  “Ah, my sensational Capri Sun Chantilly, what can I do for you on this lovely night?” Aquarius answered.

  “I really don’t like it when you use my full name, Aquarius Ozark Deveroux.”

  “But it’s a beautiful naaame,” he slurred as Capri rolled her eyes.

  This is just great. He’s drinking again.

  Rubbing the back of her neck, Capri made a mental note to make an appointment with Phoebe over at Pleasure Fingers. It had been weeks since she had the kinks worked out and her body could use a proper chakra cleaning.

  “Are you sober enough to do me a big favor?”

  “Baby, I’ll do you anytime,” Aquarius snickered. “Just give me the time and place.”

  “Great! Rainbow just called, she and Leaf can’t make my seminar tonight. They are too tired from helping Glory and Hermes with their new experimental sex machine. So, put down whatever bottle you’re drinking and get over here.”

  “I’m not drinking. I’m smoking.”

  “Smoking what?”

  “Oh, I just got a new shipment of organic parsley today, and I thought I’d try it out.”

  “Parsley is for cooking, Aquarius, not smoking.”

  “Huh, it said on the package, to use as needed, and well, I needed a smoke.”

  She loved him, she really did, but at times like this, Capri actually thought that maybe Aquarius had been dropped on his head a few too many times at birth. Only an idiot would consider smoking parsley, thinking it was fresh tobacco or some other nefarious herb, but no, her Aquarius was famous for trying everything and anything, even if it was to the detrimental of his own health. The man didn’t care, which is why Capri felt it was her duty to look after him, and make sure he didn’t accidently kill himself by drinking too much or smoking something like parsley.

  “Please stop smoking the parsley and be at my place in an hour.” Capri sighed.

  “Sure. No problem.”

  An hour later, Capri reached into her desk drawer, grabbed a bottle, and went to lock up her office when the front door chimed. Knowing that it was Aquarius, she went about making sure everything was secure. Taking off her white robe, she headed toward the front of the store. She could hear Aquarius milling around and smiled when she saw him. He was still the most handsome man she had ever met. She knew when the universe decided her time was up that when she went to visit the great cosmos, her last thoughts were going to be of him.

  Leaning against the counter, Aquarius played with one of the brochures she had available for anyone wanting information on how to cure back labor naturally. Capri said nothing as she watched him until he turned, his eyes widening as he immediately stood straight.

  “Oh wow, um…when you said you needed my help, I guess you weren’t playing around,” he said with just a hint of nervousness in his voice. Capri would have laughed if he didn’t look so worried. She knew she hoodwinked him, and apparently, he just realized that.

  “I did say that Rainbow and Leaf couldn’t make it.”

  “Yeah.” Aquarius blushed. “Ya did.”

  “Are you nervous?” she asked, moving closer to him.

  “With you, never.”

  “But?”

  “But, baby, in front of an audience. You know I get performance anxiety.”

  “That’s why when you told me you weren’t drinking, I grabbed this.” Capri grinned, handing him a bottle of Jim Bean.

  Aquarius smiled. “You are too good for me.”

  “So is breathing,” she muttered, and then quickly cleared her throat. “I only have three couples tonight. It’s not like there is a full house. So this should be easy for you.”

  “Will you be participating?” he asked, removing his clothes.

  “Yes I will. These couples are from Silver Springs and paid for the full experience months ago. We will be showing them everything, from beginning to end.”

  “E–e–everything?” Aquarius stuttered.

  Capri grinned and grabbed his hand. “Everything.”

  * * * *

  Aquarius loved Capri, he really did, but at moments like this, he really began to wonder about the life she led. Teaching sexual spirituality wasn’t so bad. Nevertheless, did she have to show them how to go about doing it? He could understand pictures, flow charts and maybe a book or two, but actually to have people making love in front of others was just a bit much.

  Talk about Exhibitionism 101.

  It wasn’t that he minded being naked in front of others because he didn’t. He had a smoking hot body, was trim, fit and he thought his had a perfectly agreeable penis. He hadn’t had a complaint in that department before, so being naked was nothing new to him in Celestial. Hell, the sheriff still walked around naked on all the odd days of the week.

  However, no one, not him, or even the sheriff for that matter, fornicated in public for the express spiritual continuity for others. Somehow Aquarius felt it was just wrong. Making love was private, not for the enjoyment of others who always found time to critique and dissected every movement, sound, and position.

  Taking a large swig of Jim Bean, he allowed the burn to warm him. He was going to need all his strength to get through this seminar with her. Capri very rarely called upon him to help with her business, and he appreciated that. It wasn’t that he didn’t like people, he just didn’t understand them, and they didn’t know him, for that matter.

  Aquarius wasn’t like most people in Celestial. He knew that and accepted it. He was just wired differently. Aloof most of the time, he stayed cocooned in his
store, afraid no one would accept him. He guessed he’d always been that way, so it was easy for him to stay hidden in the shadows.

  Despite his best efforts, Aquarius never could deny Capri anything. She was stunningly beautiful, funny, and carefree and she was the only one in Celestial who understood him. She loved him with her whole heart and wasn’t ashamed to show it. Oh, she got angry at him often, but there was love in her eyes, and Aquarius knew there would always be. She was his best friend, and together, they leaned on each other for many things, but mainly they were the only two people in town, who grieved for his brother.

  As children, their parents did everything together, even swapping partners on occasion, which was nothing new in Celestial. Therefore, when those nights happened, Aquarius, Capri and his brother, Aries, would camp out under the stars with Pisces, Virgos, and Apollo. Sometimes, they could get Moon Goddess and Fairy to join them, and they would all have a blast roasting marshmallows, telling stories and dreaming about what the Universe had in store for them.

  He loved those times and found himself wishing he could return to that simpler time. Life wasn’t fun anymore and he was getting tired of trying to be someone he wasn’t. He knew he wasn’t any good at business, but without the 5th Dimension, he would have nothing. His brother left him alone, with no one to lean on when things became too much. Aries broke his heart. Though Aquarius would never admit that to anyone, he missed his brother so much. He felt as if his heart would never heal.
