The love potion is complete

"Nope," Violet simply replied as she tore off a page from her clipboard and began writing on the one underneath. "What you have before you is Erodius. It is probably simplest to describe it as a love potion."

"A what?"

"Please don't make me explain further." But then she proceeded to anyway. "This solution amplifies the feelings of romance and attraction a person will have towards you. Just have them injest it, and wait a few minutes. They should begin to have strong, burning desires towards you and it will be very difficult for them to resist acting upon it.

"The feelings will last an estimated six hours, and only a single dose is sufficient, although that may vary depending on metabolic factors. Also it works by enhancing the feelings that are there, it cannot create emotions from nothing."

Finally I cut in, "And you're giving me this to me because?"

Violet sat down at her desk and began to type up her notes. "Because I have successfully used it on men, although it is difficult to gauge their base attraction to me. However, you would be in the prime situation to try this substance on women, considering your orientation."

I bristled at how frankly she mentioned my "orientation", but there was no hostility there, only intellectual statements.

"So," I put my hands together over the bottle. "You want me to try out this Erodius on some of the girls I know? And report back to you with the reports."

"Try to keep a written log if you can, or recording would also be good."

"Isn't this a horrible ethics violation, should we do this in a controlled-"

Violet stopped me. "The ethics board already is up my ass about one thing or another, and I just need a few preliminary cases to get the dosage right. Just get me my real world test, and tell me the results."

I looked down at the bottle in my hand. Swirling inside, fused with my hormones, was the ability to make anyone fall head over heels for me. I smirked, knowing this was the chance of a life time. The only question then.
