“Our women?” Ben said, confused.
“Agent Sanderson, I’m gay,” Elizabeth said. “You couldn’t get into my pants if you paid me.”
“Agent Sanderson?” Beverley Mitchell said, coming up next to them. “Ben’s no agent. He’s just a secretary.”
Henstridge snorted. “How fitting. Could you direct me to Jessica Biel’s office?”
“Ben can show you,” Beverley said with a wicked smile. “He’s her secretary.”
“How very forward thinking,” Elizabeth said. “Lead on, MISTER Sanderson.”
Ben gave Beverley a snarl, but lead the Interpol agent to Jessica’s office. He handed Jess her memos, introduced her to Elizabeth, then sat at his desk and waited for more than two hours, as Jessica and Elizabeth consulted on some things, then closed the blinds to Jessica’s office. Judging from the sounds after that, they got quite familiar with each other before Elizabeth left to enjoy San Francisco a little more - without her panties, which were still on Jessica’s floor when Ben went in later to get a grilling over printing the memos in the wrong place.

The handcuffs looked pretty flimsy, like they might break if Victoria just pulled on them hard enough, but she didn’t want to take chances. She had one key on the bedstand, and another taped on the back of the headboard, right where her hands would be able to reach, just in case. Her friend Karlie had helped her pick out a sexy ribbon-slotted babydoll that was essentially lace, ruffles, and mesh that hid her nipples and not much else. The matching thong was comfortable enough that Victoria thought she’d probably use it on stage sometime, but stripping out of the lingerie itself would basically be like walking out naked.
Dan, she figured, would love it.
She’d spent the last twenty minutes rushing about the apartment, making sure everything was set, and getting her hair just right. Now, as the clock hit 4:30, she took a deep breath and clasped the fluffy pink cuffs around her wrists, locking her in place until Dan got home.
He was six minutes late, exactly. Six long, scary minutes where Victoria worried she’d be locked to the bed forever. But then she heard his key out in the apartment door, and then his voice filled her ears, much to her relief.
“…and he just threw the eggs in my face! I wanted to slug him, but then I’d be the one fired. No, I’m not kidding Russel, the guy threw eggs at me because I wouldn’t suck his dick! Yeah, he’s a dick. Hang on. Victoria? You home, babe?”
