It does.

Adam smiled for the camera once more. "But Maximus only informs you of those truly massive opportunities you simply can't pass up."

"Can I interest you in anything, sir?"

Adam figured this time would be easier, because he could at last give in a little to his wish for female companionship -- but the instant he swiveled his head, his brain went blank.

He was indeed vaguely aware of Tess Talismans, but she had fallen out of sight over the years, preferring to concentrate on personal engagements and her own website, and while there were always rumors of her bosom actually expanding ever bigger, to allegedly world record breaking dimensions, he had never actively pursued those. So this was his first acknowledgment, not only that all the rumors were true, but that in fact they did an injustice to her ultimate Brobdingnagian majesty. Directly before him was a panorama of tit. Even if he had the will to look away, there was barely any direction left for him to look away to.

His mind boggled at the sheer mathematics of her. PHRIG had just come out, there was no way she had gotten to it yet. The weight of them had to be incredible -- in fact, he flexed his fingers in a conscious effort to keep the raging curiosity in his hands from reaching right out and groping them.

"Cut," said Nylands, now actually chuckling a little over Adam's failure. "I know, I should have seen this coming. Tess, dear, we're going to do your closeup in a minute, but we're going to make it slightly more dramatic, we'll need to squeeze in an extra second or two of you actually walking up to the table. Adam, I'm afraid we may need to edit in her walking up to you a little before we finish hearing you speaking. I think some overlap of her walking up to you while the soundtrack is saying 'truly massive opportunities you simply can't turn down' may really work here."

Adam was appalled at himself. Why couldn't he speak!?

"I'm glad you're on board with this," said Nylands, patting Adam's shoulder, then walked away.

"I don't mind at all your staring," Tess purred softly, flouncing her hair coquettishly -- though he barely noticed. "That's kind of the whole idea."

Say something! Say something! he raged within.

"Listen, I really have to thank you, this is the first chance I've ever had to do anything seriously mainstream. I'd really love to show you all my gratitude and appreciation. I mean it. What I mean is ... I'd love to get you alone, and show you every ... square ... inch of all my gratitude ... " She hefted her left tit. " ... and my appreciation." Then she hefted her right tit. "In fact, I'm not going anywhere until I get a chance to show you all that!"

It simply was not fair. Her brain was racing ahead very smoothly, while his remained all snarled up in some kind of major traffic jam.

"All right ... Tess? We're going to do a nice closeup of you walking up to him now."

Adam shook his head, blinked his eyes hard, and tried to control his breathing as he deliberately looked away. Tess could have asked him to marry her and he would probably have bleated a pathetic needful Yes!

"Excellent! Adam, we're going to include Tess in this shot, with her in the background looking on, but you're going to bring it on home."

"Sure thing, Helmut," Adam replied, thankful to have his voice back. Somehow, he was not sure by what strength or power, he was able to turn to Tess Talismans, say "Yes, I believe you can." Then he turned back to the camera. "Maximus Investments. When only the absolute most will do."

"And ... that's a wrap!" Nylands declared. "Seriously, we're going to go with that, everything was perfect. Tess? The way you were looking on at Adam, while he was speaking ... wonderful, just powerfully sexy, thank you. Everyone should be proud ... All right, everyone, you are now free to resume your normal lives."

What normal life!? Adam wanted to argue. He saw Tess Talismans wink at him and then waggle her astonishing body back over into the dressing room.

He felt torn. Whether to spank Gogo -- which might ultimately prove counterproductive -- or give her a medal, which also might prove too interesting? He would carry this amazing day in his memory for eternity, that much was certain.

He got up, a little unsteadily, and was pleased that his earlier exertions still left him quite flaccid and respectable. Back to work, he advised himself.

And yet ... Pandora Perqs was in there. He needed to see her just one last time, to place some final bookend on their total relationship, to give it a civilized and satisfying final chapter. Yes, it would all be very selfless and bittersweet, but he felt certain that he would be able to avail himself heroically.

He tapped politely at the dressing room door. "Pandora? It's Adam."

"Sure, come right in!"

Adam frowned to himself, as the voice did not really sound like Pandora. But it didn't seem to really matter, he still wanted to see her again, and so he opened the door.
