are ringing. You shouldn’t listen to your iPod so
much, it’s bad for the hearing.”
This seemed plausible to Rebecca. “I’m sure you’re
right,” she said. “Senator Grayle wanted me to tell you he wants to
see you as soon as you come in. He’s in his office. And he’s not in
a very good mood, either.”
“I’m sure that goes without saying.” I needed to
stall for time somehow. I had to get those Chinese balls under
control before I did anything. I couldn’t exactly march into
Senator Grayle’s office with chimes ringing out of my cunt.
“Tell Senator Grayle I’ll be right in,” I said. “I
just need to make a pit stop first.”
“No problem. Take your time.”
Rebecca went inside the office, while I headed down the hall to the
bathroom. I supposed
I could eat my McMuffin in there while I figured out
what to do next.
I’d barely made it into the bathroom when my cell
phone rang. “Hello?”
“Greetings and salutations, Jasmine Rand.” It was
Rodney Doyle. “How are things?”
“Not good,” I growled through a mouthful of
McMuffin. “No thanks to you.”
“Funny, I thought we had a good time last
night.”
I rolled my eyes. “Well, last night was fun,
but today is different. These Chinese balls of yours are driving me
nuts.”
“That’s odd. I thought most women tended to enjoy
having orgasms all day long.”
I sighed; the man was really too much. “Ordinarily I
would, Rodney. But it’s sort of interfering with my day. Do you
know how hard it is to keep a straight face when your entire lower
half is on fire? And I have bells ringing from inside my
vag. People can hear them, and I’m running out of
explanations for it.”
“You need to hold your muscles more firmly in
that—ahem—area. That should put a damper on things. Exercise some
control.”
“How the hell am I supposed to exercise control down there with Senator Grayle back in the office?”
I shot back. “I know you’re the one who bailed him out. By the way,
your timing sucks. I needed at least one more day on my own to get
things settled down.”
“Jasmine, I thought you and I agreed that you would
begin your undercover work today ,” Rodney said. “The whole
reason I bailed Grayle out was so you could do that.”
I ground my teeth. “You could have at least given me
a full day to get used to having these things shoved up
where the sun doesn’t shine.” I shifted from one foot to the other,
searching for a position where I couldn’t feel the Chinese balls
rolling around inside me. As far as I could tell, there wasn’t one.
“You know, I’m just about ready to yank them out.”
“Jasmine, you can do whatever you like. I’m not
forcing you to do this work, you know.”
I polished off the McMuffin and started in on the
hash browns. “I know you aren’t. But I want to do it. I
really do. It’s just that—well, I’m sort of nervous.”
Rodney laughed. “Is that all that’s bothering
you?”
I almost choked on my hash browns. “To tell you the
truth, I’m a lot nervous. I’m terrified, in fact.”
“Jasmine, it’s perfectly normal to be scared about
trying something new,” Rodney said, his tone softening a bit. “But
I guarantee I wouldn’t have offered you this job in the first place
if I didn’t think you were perfect for it. My advice to you is just
to jump in with both feet and enjoy the ride.”
I thought it over for a moment while I licked grease
from my fingers. “I guess I can try it for a little while,” I said.
“The only problem is, I’m not sure exactly what it is I’m supposed
to be doing.”
“Right now, all you need to do is get control of
those Chinese Enlightened Pathway Balls,” Rodney explained. “It’s a
kind of physical and mental conditioning that will prepare you for
what’s ahead. While you’re doing that, just go about your business
as usual today. I’ll give you a call again this afternoon to see
how you’re doing.”
“But—“
