"You put it that way ... I suppose this is the lesser of the evils."

"I do hope that someday soon you can see all this in a much more enthusiastic light, John. I want you to know something. Right now the provisional authorities are looking to me as your caretaker and as intermediary or intercessor on your behalf, and I am more than happy to fulfill that role -- and even to try to make this as much to your liking as possible. I figure, a happy man is a cooperative man. We want you to breed with intelligent women -- but with a whole world to choose from, that still leaves us a lot of leeway. In other words, John ... I can still try to get you whatever woman you want."

John was impressed. "You would do that?"

"It depends." She sighed. "Before all this happened, I was going nowhere with my personal life. I was so into my work that I afforded myself very little opportunity to meet any men, and I was having disastrous luck. The fact is, I've been worried about my biological clock for some time now -- and to be very frank, I haven't seen any action out of a man for way too long. John, it's very simple. If you could just do me one quick and simple favor, I will do my utmost to make sure you are rewarded as lavishly as possible."

"What do you want?"

"I'd like you to make me your first impregnation -- and I want that right now."

John's mind was quietly blown. Even during orientation his libido had been mildly distracted by how fine the Chancellor looked, and as she sat on top of her desk before him in her very formal yet rather abbreviated suit which snugly hugged her nice contours, he had to admit he liked the idea of being "made" by her.

She raked her fingers through her long lustrous black hair. "But if we're going to do this, I could use your Yes right now. I really only have this office session with you before I make my official report to them ... and I would like that report to suggest that they should be extremely generous with all your needs and desires."

The Chancellor's eyes smoldered as they gazed into his own, and as she pulled off her short jacket, John had to admit she was one glamorous and very nicely built woman. As he continued to comply with her offer with his silence, he watched with great interest as she began to unbutton her blouse.
