Confrontation and Temptation

Betty and Erin just stared at the small black bottle of Lotion X for at least a couple of minutes after Allen left. Betty's mind continuously switched between traitorous thoughts and the analytical part of her mind that was still attempting to come up with a next move.

Erin was the one to finally break the silence as she let out a sound that was something between a sigh and a groan. "All of this is happening right now because some stupid fucking company wanted to make it easier for guys to knock women up. It's so dumb that I actually believe it..." Erin said.

"You know... I thought that was why they made Viagra." Betty replied without taking her eyes off the bottle of lotion.

"Apparently that wasn't good enough." Erin quipped back.

Betty took a deep breath and could still faintly smell Allen's lingering pheromones. "I think we should get rid of this bottle. There is no reason that we should keep it."

Erin cocked her head a bit at the remark. "Why? It's only dangerous if one of us is stupid enough to actually use it. If anything, now that we have a bottle of it, we could bring it to the military. If they have a clean sample, it could help them figure out a cure and get things back to normal.

Betty just scoffed. "We'd be detained as soon as we brought it to them. Knowing the military, they might use us as guinea pigs and use it on us, just so they have a subject that they can test a cure on."

"Why would they do that? There's no shortage of X'ers running around the city." Erin said in clear disagreement.

"Allen said it himself, herself, whatever. He hasn't met a single X'er that wants to go back. Think about it, with us as subjects they could see exactly how long it takes to change us, what amount of exposure does to the time that it takes for the transformation. At this point the only other opportunity they would have is to go to NovoNordick directly." Betty argued.

Erin crossed her arms, "I see your point. Either way, I think we should at least keep it for leverage. If it makes you feel better, I have a safe in my room. I can lock it in there and we can forget about it."

"Fine. If that's what it takes." Betty said.

Erin picked up the bottle from the counter and took it with her into her bedroom. A few minutes later she came back out and sat back down at the kitchen table. "There, it's been put away... I want to ask, what did you think of Allen?"

"What about him?" Betty asked.

"Did you think about fucking him?" Erin asked directly.

Betty shifted around and averted her gaze. "I don't know what you're talking about..."

"There's no sense in avoiding the topic. I wanted him to bend me over this table and fuck me until I couldn't stand." Erin said.

Betty's mouth hang open agape for a moment before she managed to respond. "Why are you telling me this?"

"Because you felt the same way too. I could see it written all over your face. If we know one thing, Allen wasn't lying. As soon as he came in all I could think about was his cock. The pheromones are real. We should keep contact with Xer's to zero if we can help it." Erin said.

"That makes sense." Betty replied.

"Now, let's eat and settle in for the night. Lord knows I need to decompress after all of that." Erin said wistfully.
