Being There

[Pher 0]

Chris watched as Pher entered the office and waited until the door closed behind her. He wanted to test the herbal treatment given to him by Doctor Soona. This was the best thing he could think of. To see if he had any effect from even more of the Orion pheromones. He wasn't entirely sure he was wanting to test it or if he was in more need of them since he was now hydrated once more. Whichever it was, he was about to or at least hoped to be about to get another good dosing of the sweet fragrance he was becoming more and more drawn to. The Orion's Scent was more pleasant and sweet than the Deltan's and he was enjoying it more and more.

 

"Pher, I just came from medical. This new doc is trying something new on me. Your right, I look under control at the moment but, I am wanting to test this herbal treatment she is using." His eyes then turned to giving her a flirty wink and he says in a seductive sexy voice., "Come give me some of your honey, Doll. Now Let's finish what we started earlier."

 

Pher addressed her left wrist. "Audrey, implant safeties full, please." Her ODRI chirped a cheerful acknowledgment. Pher didn't feel so cheerful. She was a big girl. She shouldn't need artificial support to control herself. But this was Chris, he wasn't exactly being subtle, and right now she was bad for him.

 

"Chris?", she said plaintively. "Could you listen to yourself? Suppose you were addicted to some hard drug, nothing to do with natural sex drives. Suppose some well meaning doctor gave you something to suppress the urge. Would it be a good idea, first thing, to shoot yourself up to see which drug is the stronger?"

 

She shook her head. "You know I want to help you. I'm as hooked as you are. Worse. What you're feeling is what I am. Evenstar Bay wanted well motivated employees, so I'm well motivated. Soona wants to help you too, in her own damn the emotions shut everything down way. I think you'll need both of us, but both of us are bad for you too. The more you come to me, the more you are feeding an addiction, the closer you will get to frying your brain. Soona's drug? I don't know exactly how effective this one is, but most of the drugs that help against animals like me leave you down and depressed when you're not with animals like me. It's not about Soona, it's not about me, it's about you, Chris. If you absolutely need me, I can get you past your needs, but the less often that is, and the lower the dosage you take from Soona, the less I'll be worrying, and the sooner you might get back to something approaching 'normal'."

 

Chris stepped closer to Pher. He heard what she said but wasn't exactly listening to what she was saying. He wanted to see how this herbal treatment would work and just getting as close to her as he was at this moment did prove a that it did help some. He was still feeling a slight urge to get a bit, but with Pher being able to keep control he hoped he would also. It wasn't only the dust but her physical attraction as well. She was as lovely as he had seen, a sight for sore eyes so to say.

 

He placed his hands on her shoulders and slid them down her arms. What she had said finally made its way to his brain and he could make sense of it. He wrapped his hands around hers, holding them tightly. "Thanks Doll. Just being here with you is letting me know that what the Doc is giving me isn't 100% but it does help. I'll have to really work to maintain control. I know you can. I just hope I can as well." He then releases his grip on her hands and backs away. "Pher, I'm glad your on our side."

 

She smiled and gave him the lightest of kisses. "Glad to be on your side, at your side, beside myself, or wherever. When you really need me, I'll be here."

 

Chris walked passed Pher to the door and looked back at her. "Thanks Doll. You do the same." He then turns and head out of the office and to the Lift. He needed a cold shower.
