Mastering Charlotte Chapter 273: Family, Part 6
RichardThe following day, "Anything you should tell us?" I ask the nurse, "Before we go in?""We have lifted the sedation," she says. "We're still waiting for him to wake. Your friends are in there with him."The room is light and airy with a TV, air-con and fresh flowers. I made sure the Threesome were assigned one with a pleasant view. Nonetheless, there is no escaping the fact we are in a hospital. A nurse is adjusting a drip. Cables run from under the blankets to various monitors and equipment and the steady bleep-bleep of the cardiograph blinks in the background.In the room, the unconscious James appears unchanged. Charlotte and Michael are sitting together on a small settee. As he sees us, Michael stands, talking quietly with Elizabeth.Charlotte, wearing jeans and a sweater from Elizabeth's wardrobe, remains sitting by James, holding his hand. Her hair is pulled back in a ponytail and her eyes, red-rimmed and swollen, look enormous in her pale, puffy face.And a

Richard"And besides," Michael continues, then baulks for a moment before speaking, "Richard, it's a matter of plain fact that Charlotte has always loved James more than me. He was her first and he brought me into all this, at least partly, so that Charlotte would have support as he grew older. So that she wouldn't be left bereft. That's my role in this, to support her. I wouldn't leave her alone now, even if I wanted to.""And what about you?" I ask. "Don't your feelings matter? The two of you, you and James are very close, unlikely friends though you might seem."He shrugs. "The point is that it is the Three of us. And we'll stick it out as long as there are three of us."What am I supposed to say to that?Nothing...."You think we should get her sedated?" I suggest. "At least away from here? It can't be doing her any good, seeing him like that."Arms still folded, he shakes his head, lips pressed to a stubborn line. "I don't think sedation is the answer. Whatever happe

James"What am I doing here?"The nurse looks up from where she is fussing over something to do with my leg and over the top of her half-moon glasses. "You were shot, Mr Alexanders."Shot?She straightens up, looking down at me. "You don't remember?""No," I say weakly. "I don't"I can still barely lift my head and can't even consider sitting up. Michael stands over me, arms folded. "How are you feeling?"My skull aches abominably and I still can't think straight, thoughts dancing away If I try to concentrate on anything. As I squeeze the bridge of my nose, trying to relieve the pressure a little, Charlotte strokes my fingers."Err.… terrible, actually," I say. "I've never felt so knocked out.""Mmm...." Michael purses his lips. "That's a good sign actually.""It is?""Ah-ha. It means you're alive."I was shot?I still can't believe it."How long have I been here? I feel dreadful.""Four days," says Michael. He presses the tip of a forefinger to his lips.

Chad"Mrs Collier should know. She fostered her. And she might have spoken to Mr Kalkowski.""Mr Kalkowski?""Her old teacher. She really loves that old man, and trusts him too. He was the one that persuaded her to try for University." He sits forward. "Sir, Mr Kalkowski is very old. He looks ill. If.... When… you see Jenny, please tell her that.... Tell her that if she is going to write to him, or visit him, I think she needs to make it soon."The lawyer considers the young man before him, earnest, apparently sincere. "Mr Bennett, what is the nature of your continued interest in your estranged wife?""Oh, God." Chad swipes a hand through his hair. "It was my fault. It was all my fault. I just want to put things right for her. To see that Jenny has a fair chance at her new life." He looks the lawyer in the face. "Honestly, that's all I want."Mr Vincenzo measures what he sees before him.... a handsome boy, beautiful even. Graceful, well-spoken.... with what the young woman

JamesHer long, lovely hair sways and brushes over my body, teasing nerves endings, tickling at my thighs and cock and, finally, raising a response.She cups me, rolling my balls in the palm of her hand.It's exquisite....And I simply lie, passive and accepting, letting my eyes close as my Jade loves me with her body.She rings my shaft between thumb and forefinger, gliding along my length then circling the head between thumb and forefinger, and at last, my arousal rises, glimmering through flesh and muscle, a warm glowing ember waiting to fan into flame.Her hand leaves me, my semi-erection cooling briefly, but warmth breath bathes me, and then her mouth covers me, taking me in.Winding spirals around the head with her tongue, she sucks gently, again with one hand gently rubbing my balls. Quivering under her as the tip of her tongue slides over me, I run fingers through her hair. I think I gasp....But........ I can't....My body responds no further. The warm pro

Bech/Corby"Good morning officer…?"Corby.""Officer Corby. And what can our firm do for the City Police?"Bech offers a photograph. "We're looking for this young woman. She goes by the name of Jennifer Bennett, among others. I understand your practice is representing her in her divorce."Vincenzo regards the man in front of him without favour. He glances briefly at the photograph then returns his attention to Officer Corby. He does not speak.And he finds he agrees with what the young Mr Bennett told him. There is something about the police officer he does not care for. Mr Vincenzo has served his clients for many years and his antennae are twitching.A cloud passes over Corby's face. "Is your firm representing this woman or not?"Vincenzo sits back in his seat, behind his desk. Made of some beautifully polished dark wood and topped by green leather embossed in gold filigree, it makes a wide barrier behind the two representatives of the Law. He does not invite Corby to

JamesAnd as I look at my Jade, I see the gloss to her eyes where she is trying to hold back tears.If it were reversed. If she had almost died for me, how would I be feeling?Jade....C'mon, be a man....I laugh, shrug and try to put the apology into my voice. "You're right of course, both of you. I'm sorry.""Master, the doctor said that it will take you a few months to properly heal. You'll be yourself again, but you do need to take it easy for a while."And you'll help me....Michael, arms folded, raises brows with a 'Told You' look about him.I feel foolish. "What do you suggest?""Just lie down, Master. Let me do the work. If you exercise every day, you'll soon be stronger, and then you can slap my butt to glowing any time you want...."And the farcical humour of it all finally reaches me, and I crack out laughing. "That's about the size of it, isn't it? Alright. You win. I'll lie down. I'm sure you can work your magic on me."Clamping down on the urge to

JamesMichael twists at a nipple, raising a howl from her. "That's a good sound," he says as her pussy clenches around me and a groan escapes me."I like that sound," says Michael. "What about you James?"Christ, yes...."Oh, I like that sound too.""Thought so. Let's hear more of it." He reaches down to the vee of her thighs, probing in with a couple of fingers, then levels his face with hers. "This is going to hurt.... Just thought you'd like to know that."He smiles wickedly at me, a mere moment's warning before his eyes drop to point at where he has her clit between forefinger and thumb....He pinches hard and she screams and bucks, taking me with her. "That's good...." mutters Michael. "That's what we want to hear. You, screaming. Let's see if we can improve on that, shall we." His wrist twists and this time she jerks, convulses and goes into orgasm.Riding me all the way, my shaft deep inside her as her cunt pulses and clenches around me, her hips ricochet one

JamesMichael takes a moment before speaking, then, ".... All through your life, you've had everything thrust upon you. Even meeting James and me, you chose to enter the auction, but you did that out of necessity. I'd like to know what you want. Now that you are free to choose for yourself, what is it that you want?"And he falls silent, watching her, and waiting as she looks around at everything about us....And I wonder what she sees. With everything that life has thrown at her, the horrors of her childhood, the terrors of her adulthood, and now to be here, in this lovely place, with the home she always yearned for.And is that enough for her?She gestures around, hands trying to encompass it all. "What more could I want? We're all here, at last, together. I have you both. I have what I want."Yes!Result!Michael's eyes shift to mine....Definitely....She sees us, knows what is going on, and leans in to Michael as he kisses her. "I think I'm going to ask you to

Charlotte sits in the office facing Mr Chambers. He's middle-aged and pleasant enough, and clearly doing his best to make her feel at ease. Nonetheless, her embarrassment is excruciating and she can't look him in the face."Can I get you a cup of tea, Miss Conners? Or coffee perhaps?"Her throat tight. "No, thank you."If she tried to drink right now, she would bring it right back up again."Very well. I understand you would like to enter our auction for the sale of...." He picks up a sheet and reads.... 'The services of 'Charlotte' for the period of one week, those services to include anything required of her by her purchaser and also to include the sale of her virginity.' Is that correct?"She squeezes the word out. "Yes."He places the document on the table. "I should explain Miss Conners, that whilst you might find it easier to have a female representative to work with right now, here at the auction house we feel that a girl who cannot go through this interview with a m

RichardAt one of these interminable 'drinks dos' I am expected to attend, I do my best to put on a polite face. But I'm having trouble.I have the mayor on one side, "Since the plans were made public for the new City-Scape layout the share value has soared, Richard...."And my head of corporate law on the other. "There are still some legal obstacles to overcome...." argues Lazenby.I am unsympathetic. "That's what I pay you for."What I pay you a lot for........ So, stop whining and do your job.Listening to the mayor droning on, I nod politely, trying to appear interested but, in fact, my attention is half on the gathering at the other side of the room.As Charlotte and Elizabeth are chatting by the bar. Michael arrives, strolling across the lounge with that easy half-smile that is his habitual expression. Charlotte spots him and moves aside to make room for him."Hi, Michael." Elizabeth's eyes are bright as she looks up at him.He returns the smile. "Hi, Beth. L

Richard"But you've been running 'Life and Fitness' in the City for years.… and turning a healthy profit, surely?""Yes, but you know how it is since two thousand and seven. All the banks have tightened up the rules."Bloody bastards at the banks....Pretty perfect for me though....How to approach this…??James said he has a problem accepting help........ Carefully...."Ummm.…Take this the right way, but I'd be happy to help."Glass in hand, Michael freezes, knuckles. His voice is barely polite. "Thanks, Richard, but I'm not a charity."James' meets my eyes again with a 'Told you' look. He laughs softly. "Now, who's suffering from stiff-necked pride?" Michael gives him a look that should have dissolved him on the spot, but James simply gives him a mild look, sucking at his teeth as he tries to extract a bit of peanut.I follow Michael's lead, keeping my own tone cool. "It wasn't a charitable offer, Michael. I'm a businessman. It was a proposal."He flush

JamesAs we leave, Richard murmurs, "Keep your face straight.""You might have warned me....""What? That you were my ace-in-a-hole?" Despite his advice, Richard's mouth is twitching. "Not a chance. It worked out so much better that you were surprised when he finally realised who you are."I glance over my shoulder to see that we are safely out of range, then stop and turn to face him. "Richard, who am I? I'm an architect. A good architect granted, but...."He lays a hand on my shoulder. "You, my friend, are the architect who will have changed the face of the City. Not many can make that claim. Your immortality is going to be standing as evidence around us for generations to come."It's an interesting thought."I never expected to be famous."He rocks a hand back and forth. "Perhaps not with the Common Man, but I looked through those Get-Well cards at the hospital. Did you?""Er, no.""You should. I asked Michael to keep them for when you left the hospital; for when

JamesMy mobile rings: Richard."James, I was having a word with Charlotte earlier. She's a little upset that the university is kicking up a fuss over the way her course options are moving around. The training periods, academic time and so on. It was all supposed to be arranged, but apparently, they're giving her a hard time over it.""Yes, I thought something like this might crop up. Did you have something in mind?""Absolutely. I know where this is coming from. The Chancellor, Wilmore, is fine, but the Bursar is an interfering busybody with an inflated sense of self-worth, who pokes his nose into every aspect of university life, whether it belongs there or not. If he didn't have tenure he'd have been out years ago.""So…?""First, I like you to have a word with Charlotte...."*****The crook of my thumb and forefinger under her chin, I force her face to mine, "Charlotte, is it that you want to attend the university? Or that, in a couple of years' time, you simply want

James"So how did it go?"Michael prises the cap off a beer bottle on the edge of the table then gulps down from the neck before wiping his mouth on the back of his hand. "It was.... surreal."I'm up and about and able to walk now, at the level of using the bathroom without the intervention of a nurse. Nonetheless, Michael's return is an excuse for me to climb back into bed, take the weight from my aching leg and draw a surreptitious sigh, which he pretends not to notice.And I'm happy enough to be here. Back in the beach house, the environment is soothing and convinces me to sleep more than I could have done in the renovation/building site which is our mountain home, even were we able to return there.I prop myself up against the pillows and Michael reaches around, rearranging them for me. When I'm settled comfortably, "Go on. I'm listening.""Cutting a long story short, Klempner admitted to murdering Charlotte's father, seemed to have some kind of crisis over her looking

And she seemed to like us.... Really like us I mean, rather than just pretend to because that's part of the job description. In the morning, we took her number, and later, we called her back. It went from there. We'd meet up with her a couple of nights a week. It became regular. And then.…"Blondie breaks in, his voice low. "A
