Briar Reef Murder Mystery Chapter 35
Valerie was gravitating between rage, and moments of clarity. One minute she was remorseful and the next she was filled with such hate she'd try to break the bars of the cell in half with her bare hands.How had she ended up here? She'd planned everything down to the last detail. She'd bought everything under the name of the company, a name that hardly anyone in the town knew or even remembered. It wasn't the same name as the one on the marquee outside the gallery of course, but the name her great grandfather had used for the family business decades ago.It's an umbrella company that the relatives of her generation still uses, comes in handy for tax cuts and things like that. Along with some other less above board dealings that were better left alone.She'd never have expected the local detective and that hick she works with to unravel all her hard work so easily. She thought for sure they'd have written it off as a prank gone wrong, anything but the conclusion they'd drawn; the rig
Briar Reef Murder Mystery Chapter 36
He turned up his radio to drown out the noise of her screams and rants and pretty soon got caught up in the show that he was fond of listening to, to stave off the boredom that can sometimes set in on those long uneventful nights behind his desk. It was a lot of conspiracy nonsense but he and most of the other men in town got a kick out of it.It was almost an hour later before he even remembered her and he hoped she'd tired herself out enough to give him some peace and quiet. He bemoaned all those times he'd begged for some excitement around here now that he'd had to put up with her.He turned the radio down and listened, but all was quiet back there for the first time since he came in for his shift. "Thank heaven." He murmured to himself as if someone might overhear him, though there was no one there.He started to turn the radio up again when the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end. Had she tired herself out after all? That would be for the best he thought as he made his w

This is why she never lets her stupid heart get involved. If it were anyone else she wouldn't be beating herself up like this. She'd have relayed the news, offered her condolences and be gone already. But here she was, sitting outside his home on a Sunday afternoon panicking like she was about to take the state exam all over again.She realized as she sat there that she was worried not only about how he was going to take the news about his wife's suicide, but how he was going to feel knowing that she'd done it not long after he refused to speak to her.Sergeant Walker had shared that much with her in an aside. The poor man was feeling guilty and scared shitless that he was going to lose his job and his pension for breaking protocol. She'd promised to keep it just between the two of them and didn't bother warning him against doing it again, she was sure this was a lesson he'd never forget.***Riley heard the car pull up outside but didn't bother to get up and look. He'd finally got

VOLUME TWO: MURDER IN A SMALL TOWN Music blared from the stereo as Melissa Sherry, or Mel as sheÕs known to her friends, stood in front of the mirror putting on her lipstick. She shook her panty-covered ass along to the beat as she turned her head this way and that to check out the new color and what it did for her face. She made a face as she slipped the tube back into its cover and turned to the man on the bed with a sultry look. People say she looks like that old movie star, Marilyn Monroe and she loves playing it up. ÒWhat do you think?Ó With her hands on her hips, her perfect thirty-four C tits stood out from her chest and she struck a pose that she knew showed her off in the best light. Not that she had a bad side, she was gorgeous and she knew it. The bedÕs occupant grinned but it was obvious from the way his hand moved up and down his large tumescent cock that her new shade of lipstick was the last thing on his mind. ÒCome over here and get my

Bobby got back to the shop just in time but that didnÕt stop old man Stone from grouching at him. ÒYou bout to find yourself in a whole heap a trouble boy!Ó The older man shook his head after making that admonishing prediction. Bobby just grinned. He knew that almost everyone knew what was going on between him and Melissa, even her husband he was sure. But that was no reason to stop fucking the best pussy this side of town. HeÕd been fucking her for a good three and a half months now, every afternoon like clockwork. She was good to him too. When she was on the rag, sheÕd give him head and let him cum in her mouth, or give up that fine ass without complaining like some do and the best part, she never asked him for shit. All in all Bobby saw no reason to give up a good thing just because of a few wagging tongues. ÒAinÕt you scared? You see what happened to that Davis woman a few weeks ago?ÓÒThat was different, that OÕRourke chick was crazy as cat shit, and that wom
Briar Reef Murder Mystery Chapter 40
When he came seconds later which was all he was good for, she climbed out of bed and went into the shower. He was still laying on the bed staring into space at nothing when she walked back into the bedroom a few minutes later, drying her skin as she went. She dropped the towel, once again revealing her well-shaped body to him as she walked over to the mirror. Gil was still enjoying the sweet afterglow as his eyes turned from the ceiling to her naked ass as she stood in front of the mirror putting her makeup on. He thought it was as good a time as any to bring up the subject that has been plaguing him for months now. ÒI think we should have a baby!Ó Melissa stopped with the lipstick on her lower lip and looked at his reflection in the mirror. ÒSure honey, and the three of us will live off of your minimum wage job. YouÕre stupid.ÓÒI told you not to call me that.Ó She was always calling him names these days, belittling him every chance she got. Nothing made

That afternoon Don had hurried across the street to the bank where he kept his expense account for the business and withdrew four thousand dollars. She was still sitting where heÕd left her when he came back and the waitress had placed his regular order in the place across from MelissaÕs. He looked at the food and back to her. ÒI told her it was okay to put it there. I even covered it to protect it from flies.Ó She explained. He slid back into his seat and passed the envelope full of cash to her discreetly. ÒWhatÕs this Melissa asked as she looked at the envelope suspiciously, though she already knew what was in there. It had the name of the bank and its logo on the flap. ÒYour rent and a little extra.Ó SheÕd just looked at him, and back down at the envelope. ÒI donÕt knowÉÓÒOh please take it.Ó He was begging her to take his money, just what she wanted, but she wanted more than a one-time payoff. ÒAnd what do I owe you for this kindness?ÓÒIÉI just want t
Briar Reef Murder Mystery Chapter 42
Detective Celia Sparks left the station house and headed for home. Ever since the murder case a few weeks ago life has been going nonstop and she was wishing for the days of old, when nothing more exciting than a brawl at the pub between one of the locals and a bewildered tourist needed her attention. The case had garnered her more publicity than she was comfortable with, even a write-up in the local paper. People called out to her on the streets now more than ever and for the first time it was as if sheÕd finally been accepted into the fold. It had only taken three and a half years. As much as she hated her new notoriety and the fact that a woman had been murdered while yet another had taken her own life, there was one good thing that came out of the whole horrible situation, and that something was Riley OÕRourke. The man sheÕd been crushing on since moving to the small town. It started the night she went to his home to tell him that his wife, who sheÕd arrested o

Celia sat stupefied, ignoring the snickers and murmurs from those around her. He would pick the day when the station was fuller than usual to drop his little bombshell. She dared not look around to see who all was close enough to hear what heÕd said, and besides, her cheeks were flaming red. Not a good look for a detective. She barely tasted the rest of her food as she shoveled it into her mouth for something to do with her hands. At least his theatrics had taken her mind off of the sickening confessions of Don Simpson. She had a few jurisdictions to call and knew she was going to be here all day. She passed the task of calling around to a few of the others and went back to the interrogation room. By the time she left there that night, she had a crick in her neck, and her mind was numb. Thankfully Stella had clammed up and refused to talk, which worked in CeliaÕs favor since she wanted to be the one to question the other woman. Because of what had happened with Val
Briar Reef Murder Mystery Chapter 72
ÒShe wasnÕt always like this. I donÕt knowÉÓ Don rocked back and forth on the chair in the interview room down at the police station. It felt like heÕd just lived through a lifetime, but in actuality, it had only been a few hours. The female detective looked way too confident, and he was beginning to think that this was the end of the line for him. Just his luck, heÕd moved to a small town to get away from big-city cops who seemed to have more knowhow, only to run into an ex-New York detective. They donÕt get much bigger than that. And this one seemed to know what she was doing. HeÕd sat across from enough law enforcement officers to know when he was dealing with a pro or a dud. He was still trying to wrap his head around StellaÕs behavior. Why had she gone off the deep end now when sheÕd always gone out of her way to be careful? Never letting anything so much as slip in the past. He needed to throw up in the worst way, but the last time heÕd asked, the detective had poin
Briar Reef Murder Mystery Chapter 71
What the hell? Both Detective Sparks and Officer Bailey ran for cover when Stella Simpson pulled the gun neither of them knew she was carrying while Don sat at his desk looking lost as if he had no idea what was going on around him. He was only aware that in the last few minutes, things seemed to be going downhill fast. A day that had started out like any other had suddenly turned to shit seemingly in the blink of an eye, and for the first time, instead of making things better the way it always did, his stepmotherÕs presence seemed to be having the opposite effect. It was true that outside of his sexual fetishes, he hadnÕt grown much and had always been dependent on the older, more mature woman to handle such things. All of this was going through his mind as things began to unravel around him, and he couldnÕt seem to get a grip on reality even as things were happening right in front of him. The loud recoil of the second gunshot seemed to drag him out of his stupor, and he
Briar Reef Murder Mystery Chapter 70
I wonder what it is that sheÕs thinking about so deeply? Celia thought as she watched the older woman closely while she seemed lost in thought. In the last five minutes, a myriad of emotions had crossed that rather expressive face that she was sure had once held immense beauty but was now weathered by life and time. She did her best to hide her true feelings about the conclusions sheÕd drawn in the last few minutes, but she may have thrown up a little in her mouth a time or two. Had the woman always acted like this with her stepson in the presence of others? Had no one else ever noticed the ick factor here? Nowhere in her research had anything even remotely close to what was glaring her in the face been mentioned or even hinted at. But it was obvious from the ease with which the older woman did it and the nonchalant way in which her stepson accepted the action that it was not a new thing between them. There were too many questions running through her mind now that
Briar Reef Murder Mystery Chapter 69
Stella Simpson was indeed in the habit of touching her stepson wherever and whenever she chose, but the move was a subconscious one on her part this time. Like Don, she too hadnÕt been expecting the cops to show up again so soon. Unlike him, though, she didnÕt think they were mindless idiots, but neither did she give them credit for being this quick on their feet. SheÕd expected a bit more digging and a few more questions maybe since they didnÕt have anything else to go on, but nothing like the questions sheÕd overheard through the intercom. She wasnÕt expecting things to take this turn and hadnÕt been prepared. Though things were still not as bad as they could be, she was trying to prevent just that from happening. She knew that Don had a tendency to become flustered rather easily and that her touch is one of the only ways to calm him down and keep him grounded when he gets like this. It was a bit risky in front of the cops or any stranger for that matter, but it was be
Briar Reef Murder Mystery Chapter 68
Don Simpson was caught completely off guard by the sudden appearance of the two officers who showed up at his office door out of nowhere unannounced. TheyÕd caught him slipping, as the young people like to say since heÕd been sure that heÕd warded off the female detective the day before. His secretary looked a bit askance at him as she ushered them into the inner office before closing the door behind them. ÒDetective, what can I do for you? I thought we already established yesterday that I donÕt know the young lady in question, so wouldnÕt be of much help with your investigation. Come in, come in.Ó He made a grand gesture of inviting them in as he gave them his best shit-eating grin. The one that every good lawyer worth his salt had practiced in his mirror at least a thousand times give or take. It pretty much says weÕre all on the same team, nothing to see here and has gotten him out of many a scrape with the boys in blue in the past. The fact that she was a woman shoul
Briar Reef Murder Mystery Chapter 67
Gil wasnÕt looking too good when the detectives showed up at his door. HeÕd not too long gotten off the phone with Bobby, whoÕd called to give him a heads-up that they were on their way to see him. He didnÕt quite know how to feel about other people knowing what heÕd done on the very night after his wifeÕs dead body was found. He didnÕt want people in the little town, thinking that he hadnÕt loved his Mel because he did. He also had the fleeting worry that the New York detective might find his actions suspicious and start sniffing around his tail instead of going after the real killer. According to Bobby, she wasnÕt the type, and from what heÕd seen so far, heÕd have to agree. Still, what heÕd done could be misconstrued and damn sure frowned upon if it got back to the wrong people. By the time he opened the door to Detective Sparks, and Officer Bailey Gil was in a state. HeÕd worked himself into a tizzy worrying not only about what heÕd done but also about the fact that h

By the time Celia reached her desk Riley, and his antics were the last thing on her mind. She was back in detective mode and was sure that she was on the right track. SheÕd spent most of the time after leaving Don WilsonÕs office, concentrating on who the mystery guest had been, but now her focus had shifted back to her reason for going there in the first place. She was sure that sheÕd found Don Simpson and the fact that heÕd changed his name and was now using an alias was only one of the reasons she found him suspicious. As a detective whoÕd been trained by the best, she knew all of the signs to look for in a suspect. Some of them are sophisticated enough to get away with lying, but a greenhorn like Don wasnÕt savvy enough to pull the wool over her eyes. She couldnÕt quite put her finger on why exactly she didnÕt peg him as her killer; the vibe just wasnÕt there. But she knew from his squirrely actions under her questioning that he knew something or was involved in some
Briar Reef Murder Mystery Chapter 65
Don stepped gingerly from the shower, the welts on his ass and back burning like fire with each move he made. It was a small price to pay for the pleasure heÕd enjoyed all evening and into the night, though, so he wasnÕt about to complain. Not only had he had one of the best fucks of his life, which was saying a lot considering, but that hot detective didnÕt seem to be on his scent. SheÕd given him a bit of a stir showing up like that, but in the end, he was able to keep her from guessing the truth. It still remains to be seen if heÕd have to pick up stakes and leave town in the near future, but for now, he didnÕt feel the rush to do so, not like last time when the cops were on his ass, and he had to bail. Standing in front of the mirror, he ran the towel over his wet chest down past his middle that was growing a little soft to his cock that was still on full alert. In the bedroom next door, his tormentor was waiting, ready to soothe the pain left by her vicious beating.
