”“Darnit, Jeff. I don’t mind...”“The Sergeant in charge of a section of training at the main base has had an accident and will be out for se...eral weeks — if he is ever able to resume his duties at all. I might wind up having to have Ship or Little One heal him, but we can’t do that for everyone ... Sergeant Higgins is being temporally transferred to the base for the duration of the other Sergeant’s problems. I made certain that the transfer was temporary, though, and Higgins will be coming back. We accept credit cards, of course, but the meal must be paid for at the time of its consumption."I felt a twinge of irritation. Louis was carrying his jest a little too far. "Surely, you are prepared to make an exception for me," I said."I wish I could, Amanda." You can," I insisted."Alas, it is not my decision. It is a matter already determined by the policy of--" Don't give me that! You are the manager of this establishment." Yes, but I am bound by--" You are bound by nothing! Now, I am. .." I can't do anything about that. Regulations. Just doing my job." But can't you just un-clamp it again?" More than my job's worth, Madam..." Look, this is serious. I really do need my car now - this minute." And she stamped her pretty foot.I just shrugged and said nothing. She gave another deep sigh, as I took the opportunity of inspecting her a bit closer. Not quite a beauty, but a very handsome, expensive piece of goods. Distinctly arousing..."Is there no way round this?" She was trying. They were pretty nice. I had a silver ring with a tiny rose on it, with super thin petals and it had been red once, but most of the paint had flaked off. That just made it look even better, I thought. I wore that one a lot and I didn't nibble on it at all.Pictures of my friends and classmates were stuffed along the mirror frame. I had some posters on the walls, movies mostly, like Beauty and the Beast. I liked that movie a lot and Belle was curled up in the beast's arms while she sucked his.
