Three long drinks in quick succession and the pint glass was empty. He needed time to recompose himself, to gather his wits about him instead of ogling at these girls and making a damn fool of himself.<em>What’s the matter with you? Are you sick? Don’t you know that these are a distraction to your real mission? Remember the translation?</em><br/><br/>He saw the girls take off a layer of clothing and Kate rise, thinking that she was off to the bathroom. A few seconds later, his head snapped backwards as his hair was pulled from behind. Kate’s smiling face beamed at him upside down as she went through some rather sensual motions to point out that he had been wearing a Guinnesstache. The mixture of her strength and her softness was intoxicating and yet again the trouser cobra twitched in its compartment as he relaxed into her care.<br/><br/>Josh was tired of his translation work. He knew that he had made good progress but he was at the end of his tether with it all. Maybe it was the fact that he was having such a relaxing break here…maybe it was because his loins had stirred for the first time in what must have been years…and maybe it was his body clock ticking away and telling him that if he didn’t use his god given abilities then he would lose them. That was a scary thought!<br/><br/>His mind came back to real time as Andrea mentioned something about wanting to know more of Cleopatra. His eyes stared into his empty glass as he unconsciously wiped the back of his hand against the end of his nose and blinked slowly. It took a second for his eyes to refocus. Something that had been pulling and stretching, torturing and bleeding his life away suddenly lost its hold on him. He started to speak without engaging his brain.<br/><br/>“Oh, that witch!” he spoke in a low steady voice to the glass and looked up. He saw Andrea and Kate stop and look at him, waiting for an explanation or some kind of continuance. “Well, she was! A bitch and a witch, that is…if only you knew the whole story. She was the single greatest sexual miscreant in history!” They waited still. He had their full attention now.<br/><br/>“Look, I shouldn’t really be telling you this…I’ve told no-one yet so why I’m doing this now I don’t know. Yes I do…”<em>Don’t do this! This is your work! No! No! No! Absolutely not! Keep your big mouth shut! Shut it now!</em><br/><br/>“She…I’m sorry, but I…I’m talking rubbish, sorry. I don’t know what came over me" he said with a shrug and a covering smile. "I’ll get us more drinks. It’s hotter than a pole dancer’s fanny in here!”<br/>
