ÒYou canÕt be serious, why would you want to know about him?ÓÒIÕm not really interested in him as a person just in what he means to you and if heÕs someone youÕre still in contact with. I donÕt mind telling you that IÕm a territorial fuck. IÕm not the kind of guy who can be cool with his woman staying friendly with someone sheÕs been to bed with.Ó ÒHeÕs married with a kid, and we havenÕt seen or spoken to each other in years.Ó ÒWhat about the others?Ó ÒWhat others? He was my only serious relationship; I told you that when you asked before.Ó TheyÕd touched on past relationships during one of their many nightly phone conversations, so she couldnÕt see why he was bringing it up now. Then Celia decided to go on the offensive. ÒWhat about you?Ó ÒWhat about me? ÒYou and Sonya? Was that really as innocent as you two claimed?Ó Sonya had written about how helpful he had been in her journal, but there was no hint of anything sexual, something Celia had
ÒHello, Simon, you behaving yourself?ÓÒRi? WhatÕre you doing here? Never thought IÕd see you set foot in my place.ÓÒIÕm here to collect something of mine.Ó Riley looked at Celia when he said it, and she gritted her teeth, not quite sure if to be angry or amused. Simon had a grin on his face as Riley ran his finger along the detectiveÕs cheek before taking his hand away quickly as if remembering where they were. HeÕd been giving serious thought to hitting on her though she seemed too prim and proper for his taste; now, he was glad he hadnÕt put his foot in his mouth. ÒYou want something?Ó ÒNo, just her when sheÕs done. IÕll be over at the bar.Ó Riley walked away without another word, and Celia looked back at the club owner to find him looking at her with a light of merriment in his eyes. She knew he was trying hard not to laugh and felt her cheeks tint with heat as she searched for an explanation to give him. ÒSorry about that. HereÕs my card, please cont
SheÕs feisty! Riley thought as he followed Celia into the house. It was a nice change from what he was accustomed to. In fact, everything about her was new and exciting, not least of all was that mouth of hers. ÒSo, did you get what you were after with Simon?Ó ÒNot really, I keep running into dead-ends. For a town this small where everyone seems to know everyone elseÕs business, my victim seems to have lived a double life that no one else knew about.Ó She blushed at her words, realizing that she could be describing his now-dead wife. TheyÕd talked about that situation before, but Celia always got the feeling that he wasnÕt interested in getting too deep into it. He mostly told her about their life together, how they met, stuff like that. But when it came to the actual murder, though he didnÕt shy away from the discussion, she got the feeling that it wasnÕt his favorite topic, and she canÕt say that she blamed him. Riley saw the look of unease of her face and the
I canÕt believe IÕm doing this, Gil thought. One minute the three of them were sitting around the living room talking, and the next, they were in the guestroom of his little two-bedroom home about to fuck. He looked at Bobby, who seemed to read his mind. ÒTrust me, Gil, this will take your mind off things.ÓÒBut Mel just died.ÓÒI promise you that she wouldnÕt have mind. As much as that girl loved to fuck, I bet sheÕs somewhere cheering us on. Come on; itÕll help us both to get over this feeling of doom.Ó Bobby wasnÕt sure if what he said was true. He was drunk and horny, and there was a willing woman in the room. If he were sober, heÕd probably ask himself why this chick would come and offer up herself like this, but as clouded as his mind was, all he could think about was fucking his hard cock into something soft and warm. His Mel was gone! Every time he thought of it, his heart squeezed in his chest. AinÕt it the truth that you never miss the water Ôtil the we
Detective Sparks hit the ground, running bright and early the next morning. Riley had already been up by the time she rolled out of bed, and though it was hours earlier than the norm for her, she thought she could get used to awakening like this every day from now on. There was something rather wholesome about waking up to the sounds and sights of a farm that she never got in the city or anywhere else. Since she was way ahead of schedule, sheÕd headed to her new home office to get some work done. Now that sheÕd had some time to sleep on it, things were finally starting to gel for her. She went back over everything from the night before and made notes to follow up on later. By the time she felt the heat of the rising sun coming through the window, she felt better about the direction the investigation was going in. She still didnÕt have much more than when she started, but things were looking promising. She was sure that once she got a line on this new job that thing
Gil and Bobby sat around his kitchen table, both staring unseeingly into the depths of the bitter black coffee they were trying to force down. The unlikely duo who seemed to have formed some sort of commiserating bond over the death of the woman theyÕd both had feelings for were now coming to terms with the happenings of the night before. Now that the haze of lust had cleared, neither man was sure of how things had gone that far. Bobby cleared his throat for the third or fourth time. He felt responsible somehow, almost as if he shouldÕve been the one to call a halt to the nightÕs events before they had gotten out of hand. But quite frankly, the last thing he clearly remembers is looking at the womanÕs ass with interest. What came next is all a blur. ÒDo you think she drugged us?Ó GilÕs voice was scratchy and uncertain. He didnÕt even pick his head up, so embarrassed was he. He was a bit dazed and more than a little sick to his stomach by what had happened. Each time he r
Riley had all plans of feeding her honest. ItÕs the reason heÕd left the farm and headed into town. But once they got on the road, he was reminded that it had been hours since heÕd had her, and that just seemed like an affront to his senses, so he changed his mind and headed back towards the farm. Celia didnÕt say a word when he headed back out of town and again when instead of heading up to the house, he pulled off the driveway into a little copse of trees and killed the engine. Her pulse raced in her veins as soon as he reached for his seat belt before tackling hers. Riley looked back at the backseat and decided that it looked way more comfortable than taking her in the passenger seat of his truck. He didnÕt question the wild need that rose up inside him for her; heÕd noticed since the other night when he took her the first time that with her things were way different than they had been with his now-dead wife. Maybe itÕs because heÕd known Valerie as a younger m
It was the tensest lunch date Celia had ever endured and yet somewhat pleasurable because he was there. His lack of care about the stares and whispers somehow got her to relax enough to take a few nibbles of the turkey club sandwich she was too nervous to really enjoy. ÒHowÕs the case going, or are you not allowed to discuss it at this point?Ó Riley dug into her steak sandwich like a man starved. Sex with her always leaves him ravenous, and since he couldnÕt take her back home to his bed for the rest of the afternoon, food was the next best thing. ÒItÕs going fine, and thatÕs all I can safely say at this point. Thanks for understanding.Ó SheÕd be surprised if he didnÕt push. The man has no filter and doesnÕt seem to understand the basic concept of no. ÒAs long as youÕre not in any danger, I donÕt need to know what youÕre doing at work. But if you find yourself in a sticky situation and you donÕt give me a heads-up, weÕre gonna have a problem.Ó Celia stopped
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
