Maheu stepped a few steps closer to HRD (Her Royale Douche-bag) and said with as much conviction as she could muster under the condition that she was in, “I need a few minutes to myself. Where is the ladies room?”
An aide took her by the elbow and escorted her out of the Triangle office and down a corrider that had p
ortraits of women Maheu didn’t recognize. She fleetingly wondered if these could be some of HRD’s latest conquests and almost giggled, but caught herself. The aide would think she was
losing her
mind under the situation. When she was left alone with her thoughts in a bathroom that could almost be the size of a bedroom, her sat down with her notes.
HRD was the kind of woman who made both women and men tremble. Some with fear and some with an intense sexual arousal that could almost be painful. She affected Maheu in neither way at this time. All Maheu could think about was Whit. But there was work to be done.

If the Merekats were to be saved without risking personal injury to the many innocent bystanders, there was going to have to be LOTS of planning. My GOD… just figuring out the route to take could take
hours. Maheu was nothing if not meticulous when it came to planning a trip, not to mention a rescue attempt that would lead them thru desert, swamp and jungles. It was hard to believe that you could find all those terrains in the United States, but that’s what the paperwork she had read had lead her to believe.
Maheu was tired. How long had she been up with Whit before receiving the call from the Triangle Office Chief of Staff telling her she was needed to help with a Top Secret assignment? It all seemed like a dream. She and Whit had come so close … close enough that Maheu could still smell her. She closed her eyes and smiled. But then looked around. She walked over to the sink and splashed cold water on her face and looked at herself in the mirror. This sure wasn’t the same person that HRD knew all those years ago. Though just in the brief time she had been in HRD’s office, she could see that things never change around HRD. Everyone was running around taking care of getting things for her. Just what was it that caused people to treat this woman this way, Maheu wondered to herself. It was sickening that one person could affect people this way.
She found herself drifting back to a time when she had first met HRD. Though back then, she was not just HRD, but just known as Trish. How she hated that name! It was SO not what a Trish should look like. No pony-tail for this woman. Though she was butch, you could still tell she was a woman. She had curves, but didn’t flaunt them. She dressed for comfort, that was for sure, but still sexy. She hadn’t been burned by anyone when Maheu first knew her. She was kind and her blue eyes kind of sparkled when she spoke. She was direct, even then, but not in a confrontational way, but more in an inquisitive and ‘most interested in what you had to say’, way. It was unnerving at times. To have such an attractive woman be that in tune with you and Maheu remembers feeling that it was as if HRD was looking through her and could see in her more than even Maheu knew about herself.
They had shared a passion filled affair. One that Maheu had to break off from, as she felt that she was losing her identity the more she was falling in love with HRD. She knew it would be impossible for it to last. HRD was too much for any one woman to handle and didn’t appreciate any of the attention that she received. It was as if she expected it.
But she was not about to let Maheu leave easily and she made it clear that Maheu would have to kill her to get past her and out of her life. That’s the way that HRD was. Melodramatic. It was pathetic really. It wasn’t as if she were really into Maheu or could not live without her. She had many who would have gladly filled her place with HRD, but it was more about control. HRD was ALL about control.
But the woman was un-FUCK-ingbelievable in the sack. There were nights that Maheu wondered if she’d be able to move, let alone walk, the next day. They would make love for hours. It was as if HRD wanted to possess Maheu by training her body to only respond to her touch. And she knew how to touch. With her hands and her mouth. Every inch of Maheu’s body had been rubbed, tasted, fondled and sucked. They’d explored each other’s bodies intimately and slowly many times. It was as if they could never get enough from each other.
Maheu was jolted back to reality by the sound of a door slamming.
She almost forgot that she was supposed to be preparing for a meeting with HRD and being able to present her with some options for a rescue plan. She dried off her face and walked back to her papers and glanced down at her notes. She thought to herself, “well, here I go.”
When she knocked on the Triangle Office door, a different aide let her in and left the office while closing the door behind her. Maheu realized that she was alone in the office with HRD.
“Well, it’s been awhile, hasn’t it, my love?”, asked HRD. Her voice still sounded velvety, though strong to Maheu. But Maher vowed silently that she would not let this turn personal. After all, Whit trusted her to be here. To do her civic duty. She couldn’t break that trust. Not after what they had shared and promised each other. She felt a warmth begin between her legs and shook her head to refocus.
Maheu approached the desk, which HRD now sat behind (in typical control positioning) and smiled.
“Yes, I guess it has. You’ll excuse me if I remind you that we really don’t have time to play catch up at this point. There are people’s lives at stake. I don’t have time to play whatever games you are into these days, Trish. I’m not that same passive young thing that you made into your plaything all those years ago. I’m here to do a job. That’s all.”
There was silence and for a moment, Maheu thought that HRD was going to start yelling. She looked stern, yet controlled. Then she started laughing.
“Oh, hon. Relax. I was just saying hi to you. Please don’t take offense. My God, we are on the same side on this, aren’t we? Please, lets just get on with it. Don’t be so serious. It’s just us. My advisers will be in here in a few minutes and I asked them to give us a few minutes to get some things out of the way before we start with the planning session. I felt it was important to perhaps lay some ground rules before starting with the group, don’t you think?”
Maheu didn’t wait for her to continue. She held up her hand and said, “I’ll be laying the only rule down first, if you don’t mind. This will be done MY way. I know you’re the President, but you have no experience in this arena. This is MY jurisdiction and you MUST allow me the freedom to use MY people and do things the way I see fit. If that’s going to be a problem, tell me now and I’ll turn around and be on my way and you can find someone else to do this. But before you say anything to piss me off and leave for other reasons, think, Trish. You know me. I know you know what I’ve been up to the past 10 years. You know how thorough I am and how much I put myself into my work. I’m the best there is. So don’t let a little ego thing ruin the rescue mission for this group of innocent victims. Ok?”
Inside Maheu was shaking. She couldn’t get over how well HRD had aged. She started reprimanding herself. Willing herself to think of Whit.
