“Oh, sure. I guess so.” Phoebe bit her lower lip. “Um, do you think I could get away without wearing the clit jewelry and the plug? I mean, Kat packed me some other Salacious Prime outfits to wear. I’m sure I could find one that had enough coverage to keep anyone from noticing.”
His face went hard.
“Are you asking because you’d rather I didn’t put the jewelry on you? Because I touched you last night without your consent?”
“No, no—it’s not that!” Phoebe protested. “I mean, yes it’s really embarrassing to have to ask you to help me with things like that because I can’t touch myself with these damn non-con bracelets on but I just don’t…” She trailed off, realizing she was babbling.
“It’s all right—I understand,” Sirex said stiffly. “I’m sure it will be fine if you just wear the harness without the jewelry and plug as long as you have a skirt that covers you. It’s time we got back to a more professional relationship anyway. I feel like we went outside the boundaries of two Agents working in the field yesterday. It’s time we reined things in.”
Phoebe felt her heart drop…but she couldn’t exactly blame him. They really had gone too far the day before—even before she drank the Sparkler and apparently turned into a sex-starved nymphomaniac. And though she wished they could go even further—that they might have some kind of relationship that wasn’t strictly professional—she could see that the things they’d done together had made her mentor uncomfortable.
“Yes, of course,” she said, trying not to let the disappointment she felt show in her face. “You’re right. We need to get back on track.”
“Exactly.” Sirex nodded. “It’s time to start planning how we’re going to get in to see the Emperor. Especially now that I’m certain The Finger of the Goddess is really here, in his collection.”
“You are? How do you know?” Phoebe asked.
She was beyond relieved that they were changing the subject. She didn’t known when she’d been so embarrassed. There had been a few times, after a night of hard drinking in college when she’d acted kind of crazy but she had never gotten so completely black-out drunk that she’d forgotten everything she did. And apparently everything she had done last night had been sexual.
“Thruck practically told me it was here.” Sirex also looked relieved to be changing the subject. “He said they have an object called “the Lust Finger” that they use when they brew the Sparkler drink they give to the women every night. Apparently it increases the potency of the other ingredients and also increases fertility.”
“That sounds like The Goddess’s Finger all right,” Phoebe said, nodding. “The question is, how do we get to it?”
“I don’t know,” Sirex admitted heavily. “Thruck hinted that he was leaning towards granting us an audience with the Emperor, but only if we continued to be ‘entertaining.’”
“Entertaining? What the hell did he mean by that?” Phoebe demanded.
“Well, he said it after your, er, enthusiastic performance last night.” Sirex cleared his throat. “When you were so eager for my seed.”
“Oh my God!” Phoebe groaned, putting her head in her hands. “I can’t believe I acted like that!”
“Don’t blame yourself—you were drugged,” Sirex said. “I’m just sorry I didn’t realize it sooner.”
“It’s not your fault either,” Phoebe said quickly. “Honestly, if you could just try to forget everything I said and did last night, I’d be grateful.”
“It’s already forgotten. I won’t bring it up again,” Sirex promised.
“Thank you.” Phoebe smiled gratefully. “So…we have to find a way in to see the Emperor without Thruck.”
“Which isn’t going to be easy, considering he appears to control the only access to ‘The Shining One,’” Sirex said dryly.
“Except for the servants,” Phoebe pointed out. “They still have access—at least that’s what Be’ti’ta told me last night, before we started drinking that damn Sparkler.”
Sirex looked thoughtful.
“I wonder if one of them might be bribed?”
“You’d have to be careful which one you asked,” Phoebe pointed out. “If you asked the wrong one and he reported back to Thruck…”
“Yes, that wouldn’t end well at all,” Sirex agreed. “However…”
A sudden knock on their door interrupted him.
“Excuse me, I have an urgent invitation for Lord Sirex and his lady!” a familiar voice called outside.
“That’s the servant now. Let’s see what he wants.” Sirex rose and pulled on a pair of leather trousers.
Though she tried not to look, Phoebe couldn’t help noticing that he did, indeed, have two cocks—a smaller one which rested above the much larger one. God, had she really sucked them both? The larger one especially looked too big to handle—even though it wasn’t even hard at the moment.
I must have been feeling ambitious last night, she thought and wished again that she’d never drunk the damn Sparkler.
As her mentor headed for the door, she decided to come along. Wrapping the sheet all the way around herself, she trailed after Sirex, coming to stand behind him as he opened the door.
