“I’m not here to flirt with you, Miss Aylesworth,” Kristen said. “I need information on-”
“I’m afraid we don’t have the information you’re looking for, Agent Bell,” Reiko said, switching tactics suddenly. “If you need information on this Rhona woman, you’ll have to find it elsewhere. My law firm certainly doesn’t handle such things.”
Kristen looked a little surprised, as Reiko’s about face caught her off-guard. “Uh…”
“Now, if there’s nothing else?” Reiko asked, raising an eyebrow suggestively towards Kristen.
“Uh, no, not really,” Kristen said, suddenly quite flummoxed. Hadn’t this woman just been coming on to her?
“Then I suggest you and your junior agents leave,” Reiko said, sitting down behind her desk, her foot pushing her panties closer to the front of the desk. If Krsiten had just looked down…
“I’ll be back,” Kristen finally said, turning to leave.
Reiko let her get as far as the door. “Agent Bell, I’ll be at the Rosemont tonight. You’ve heard of it?” she said, stopping the Fed at the door.
“I’ve had dinner there once or twice, yes,” Kristen said.
“Meet me there, and we can discuss things, off the record,” Reiko added.
“What things?”
“Things like who pays for some of my clients, and what sexual positions you’ll assume on a first date,” Reiko said. “See you at 7:30. Wear something slutty.”

“She actually told you to wear something slutty?” Tammin said as the three Feds got into their car down in the parking garage.
“Yes, she did,” Kristen said.
“So what are we going to do?” Beverley asked.
“You two are going to start looking into who owns Lychan Hollowman,” Kristen said. “I’m going to go buy something slutty to wear to dinner tonight.”
“You’re really going to go out with that woman?” Beverley asked, surprised.
“I am, and if it’ll get me even an inch closer to Rhona Mitra, I’ll not only put out on the first date, but I’ll let her do whatever she wants to me,” Kristen Bell said firmly. “I’m getting sick and tired of hunting for this woman. If I have to use my body to find her, I will.”

The hot shower water beat down over Victoria Justice’s naked body, and the young stripper was still shivering. Alone in perhaps the fanciest hotel room she’d ever seen, Victoria was trying to wash away her fears, while also getting ready for the night ahead.
Her four months were up, and it was time she proved her loyalty to the Spectacular again.
Charisma had come to her earlier in the week and essentially told her that flat out, making it clear that Victoria wouldn’t get any more work shifts until after she met with Charisma’s boss’ girlfriend. And by meet, Charisma meant fuck. Victoria had know it was coming - Charisma had told her back that first day she got hired. But now it was here, and she was nervous.
Hardly the innocent little lesbian virgin she’d been when she’d walked into Charisma’s office four months ago, Victoria was still nervous. Both Emannuelle and Adrianne had tried to cheer her up (through sex) and Charisma had even given her some pointers (“do whatever she tells you and remember, she’s only got the one night”), but none of that clamed her fears.
She’d tried distracting herself, too. She’d woken up and fucked Dan pretty senseless before telling him she had to work all night and wouldn’t be back until morning. It was true, in a sense. She just wasn’t working as a stripper.
She was working as a whore.
Her phone beeped, telling her she was down to the last half-hour before her newest lover would arrive, and Victoria reluctantly shut off the water and got out of the shower. Patting herself down with a towel, Victoria dried herself and looked in the mirror, making it a point to not look herself in the eyes. She didn’t trust herself not to cry if she did so.
Why was she doing this, she wondered as she applied the perfume provided to her by Charisma. She wasn’t a whore, and yet she was basically selling her body to keep her job. Yes, Victoria was making good money working at Spectacular - though how, she wasn’t entirely sure, the place was rarely all that busy. But she’d had to sleep with Charisma, and now this Rosie woman, and in two more months, she’d have to put out again for Rosie’s girlfriend and Charisma’s boss, Rhona Mitra.
Dan had even gone a found a job. Sure, he was working as a waiter, but he was helping to pay the bills. Victoria could go get another job, somewhere where she didn’t have to sleep with her superiors.
