Chapter One -- The Abduction
Author's note: You are about to meet up with Adele Edwards and Celia
Bettany whom you met during my stories Consent and Laid Bare. You will
also become reacquainted with Cassandra Rivers who was the lead
character in both Biker Bitch and Executive Solutions. I hope you
enjoy this three-part story.
The late model white Ford Econoline van was parked illegally across
the road from Bruin Fitness Center at UCLA. Two men sat in the front
staring out the window.
Two young women in cheerleader outfits sat on a bench across the road
waiting for the shuttle bus. They were looking intently at their smart
phones; swiping and tapping the screen whilst talking to each other,
multitasking as young women were want to do. Their gym bags were on
the sidewalk and they rested their feet on them uncaring and unaware
that they were sitting with their legs wide open and that their little
cheerleader skirts concealed nothing.
The day was cool but the sun was bright and their suntan pantyhose
glistened and their chests glowed with the sheen of sweat above the
tight-fitting spandex bodices. They were blonde-haired and pretty,
typical California girls, their makeup had run a little during cheer
practice but it made them look sexier, or so the man sitting in the
passenger seat thought.
The man liked the body-hugging blue and yellow cheerleader uniforms
especially the ridiculously-short skirts that exposed their toned
thighs clad in the shimmering tights and the tight yellow spandex
panties that swathed their bodies so tightly that he could make out
the shape of their pubic mounds.
He moved the erection in his tight jeans to a more comfortable
position.
"Any sign of them yet?" he asked his partner without taking his eyes
off the cheerleaders.
The other man put the small field glasses he was using down on the
dash and checked his watch.
"Not yet but their spin class should have finished ten minutes ago,"
he replied and picked up the binoculars again.
"Stop checking out the talent and keep your eye out for campus police
and parking Nazis like you're supposed to. You'll get plenty of time
to ogle young girls when we pick up our passengers. You can play with
them a little too but don't spoil the merchandise," the man chuckled,
scanning the area with the field glasses.
Kimberly Edwards and her friend Alisha Common skipped down the steps
outside the Fitness Centre intending to cross the street to Bruin
Walk. They were clad in spandex tights and crop tops and wore
expensive cycling shoes. Kimberly's strawberry-blonde hair was tied in
a ponytail and it flew behind her as she scampered down the stairs;
Alisha's black hair had been stylishly straitened and highlighted and
framed her pretty face. Both girls had worn full makeup to the spin
class because to them looking beautiful was just as important as the
exercise.
"There they are!" the driver pointed excitedly.
The pretty white girl and the pretty black girl approached the
crossing weighed down by their gym bags and the suit carriers that
they had hooked over their shoulders.
The driver started the engine whilst his partner climbed into the back
of the truck and opened a ripstop nylon bag from which he took out
several cable ties two gags and a Ziploc bag with two sponges inside
it. He pulled down his ski-mask and pulled on his surgical gloves,
adjusting them to fit. The driver made a U-turn across Charles E Young
Drive and pulled up under a grove of trees adjacent to Bruin Walk. He
left the engine running and joined his partner in the back of the van
pulling on his own mask and gloves.
It couldn't have gone better. The usually busy street was quiet and
there was no one else on the path as the girls drew level with the van
talking excitedly and taking no notice of their surroundings. The
chemical smell from the sponges was so strong that the men held them
down by their sides so as not to be affected.
One of the men flung open the door and the other leapt out and grabbed
Kimberly and put the sponge over her nose and mouth before she could
scream and his partner did the same to Alisha. The girls dropped their
suit carriers and gym bags and struggled briefly but the potent
concoction of chemicals knocked them unconscious almost immediately.
The men manhandled the girls into the Econoline quickly, being careful
not to injure them. They lay them on a large mattress in the back of
the van and tossed their bags in after them. One man put the sponges
back in the Ziploc bag whilst the other checked to make sure they
hadn't left anything behind before he leapt into the cab and drove
away.
The kidnapping had taken only seconds.
The men high-fived each other and then the man in the back got busy.
He arranged the girls on the mattresses and cable-tied their hands and
prepared the cable ties for their feet and the gags for their mouths.
He pulled the curtain across the windows in the back of the van and
across the driver's cabin so no one could look into the van. The back
of the van became dark so he switched on the dome lights and took a
good look at the girls.
The man was sweating with the exertion and he was excited both
physically and sexually. Looking at the girls lying on the mattresses
with their lycra-clad legs spread wide and their firm breasts heaving
as they slept excited him further. The girls were both pretty and
their makeup had run but that just made them prettier, almost slutty.
He checked that the curtain across the driver's cabin was secure and
then he dropped his pants and freed his hard cock.
"This won't take long my pretties and you won't even know it
happened," he whispered.
"Eeny, meeny, miny, moe." He began pointing at the girls alternately.
"Fuck it! I'm doing the blonde," he whispered excitedly.
The men had agreed not to physically assault the girls, not yet
anyway, but a little dry humping wouldn't hurt anyone the man thought
as he kicked Kimberly's legs wider apart and lay between them.
He wished she could see what he was doing to her but he consoled
himself by kissing her unresponsive lips as he nestled his cock
between her legs and rubbed it on her lycra-clad mound. Her body was
warm and she smelled of perfume mingled with perspiration which
inflamed his desire.
He thrust against her once, twice, three times and ejaculated, his
creamy issue soaking into the navy blue spandex tights. He pressed his
body against hers, feeling the firmness of her pert breasts and kissed
her harder until he was finished.
He climbed off her and admired his work and then cleaned up with a
cloth, wiping away any semen that had not been absorbed by her tights
and then he put his manhood away. He took the remaining cable ties and
secured Kimberly's ankles and then Alisha's, groping her breasts and
her pubic mound quickly before he completed the task. He rearranged
both girls so they would be as comfortable as possible; he even put
pillows under their heads.
Finished with the girls he hung up their garment bags and then rifled
through their gym bags. He located the girl's mobile phones and
switched them off. It didn't matter that their current location could
be pinpointed using the signals from their phones but it mattered that
they could be tracked to their next location. He rummaged through the
bags and found their wallets and checked their driver's licences. They
had been tailing the girls for some time and were positive that they
had collected the right women but it paid to be certain.
"It's definitely them." He stuck his head into the cab where his
partner was driving, concentrating on the traffic, having removed his
mask.
The last thing they needed was a moving violation.
"You didn't fuck with them did you?" the driver asked.
"Tempting as the prospect is... no I didn't," his partner lied.
"Make sure they behave themselves and stay quiet until we get where
we're going," the driver grunted.
"And don't fuck them!" he called over his shoulder but his partner had
already closed the curtain.
*****
Adele Edwards entered the offices of Edwards and Bettany -- Attorneys
at Law striding confidently as was her way.
Adele was tall, standing five foot seven inches and she had long legs
which she liked to show off by wearing her usual uniform of a designer
suit with a short skirt and a long jacket and exclusive hosiery. Her
hips were narrow and her buttocks pert and firm. She could have any
size breasts she wanted as they were implants but she had settled on
size 16 C-cups. She had lustrous shoulder-length brunette hair which
always looked like she had just left her hairdresser. She was
stunningly beautiful.
Adele was what is sometimes incongruously referred to as a 'pre-op
transgender' which in her case was a ridiculous categorisation as she
had never wanted gender reassignment surgery or more specifically
vaginoplasty. She was completely female with the exception of having a
penis.
She stopped at the office of her associate Michelle DeLong. Michelle
had her Scottish mother's flaming red hair that cascaded to her
shoulders. She had also inherited her mother's fair skin and fiery
temper but she had her Neapolitan father's ability to control it.
Michelle was wearing a white business suit which flattered her red
hair and fair skin; she was bent over her desk rummaging around in a
drawer looking for a case file. Adele took some time to appreciate
Michelle's shapely ass and long legs before she cleared her throat to
announce her presence.
"Oh hi Adele, you're in early." Michelle gave her a killer smile.
It was Friday morning and both Adele and Celia were usually late
arrivals; Thursday was their play night. Adele and Celia were in a
committed relationship but they had an open marriage. Adele had her
demons and a sexual appetite that required something Celia didn't
have, and as much as Celia loved being made love to by her transgender
wife, there was also something that Adele didn't have that she
coveted.
To put it crudely: Adele liked cock and Celia liked cunt.
So Thursday night was the designated night off from their marriage.
Celia spent the night with her friend Elidi Meriwether and Adele
usually spent the night at a hotel with a male escort named Roy,
although she was want to stray if she found a man who took her fancy
and who could be discreet.
"If you call nine o'clock early, I suppose I am," Adele replied.
"How are you and Celia progressing with Brindle?" Adele leaned against
the doorjamb and folded her arms.
The law firm had expanded after a landmark settlement against their
adversary, the law firm of Grantham Walker and Tate who represented
Brindle Coal and Power. Adele had made an out of court settlement in a
case brought by the birthmother of her adopted daughter Kimberly
against Brindle Coal and Power and made a tidy sum of money for the
firm and had also put aside a significant sum of money in a trust fund
for Kimberly's future.
The case had spurned the interest of other small groups who had failed
in previous class action suits and who had come forward with renewed
hope and vigour to the firm of Edwards and Bettany looking for a
similar victory.
Very few people knew that the settlement had not been won on the
merits of the case but because of the outrageous actions of the
compliance arm of BC&P who had enlisted corrupt state and local
officials to sabotage the case, even going to the extent of kidnapping
Adele Edwards so that she could not file the suit within the court-
mandated timeline.
Celia Bettany usually handled business and corporate law for the firm
whilst Adele usually handled criminal litigation so the case that the
firm was currently bringing against BC&P belonged to Celia, Michelle
and the firm's corporate arm. Adele was dealing with a case in civil
court that was high profile and very likely profitable. A woman had
alleged that a very senior executive in a profitable company had taken
advantage of her without consent and Adele and her client were hoping
for a lucrative settlement.
"As we expected, Brindle are holding back on discovery. They've hired
Peter Duffy again to manage their public relations side of the house
and he's doing a good job convincing the state and county officials
and the general population of Silas County that our case is bad for
their future so prising information and deposing potential witnesses
is proving difficult," Michelle explained.
"We're off to Kentucky tomorrow to meet with Peter Duffy and the BC
and P lawyers and to depose more witnesses," she added.
"You've already had meetings with Peter Duffy here in LA I take it?"
Adele asked.
"Not very productive I'm afraid," Michelle replied.
"Alright, well I'll be in my office if you need me." Adele turned to
leave.
She poked her head back around the door.
"You didn't accidently fuck Peter Duffy again did you?" Adele smirked.
Adele ducked when Michelle threw a stapler at her.
Both she and Michelle had history with Peter Duffy and had been
seduced by his charms but they were professional enough to put that
aside when they were working as adversaries.
Adele grabbed coffee from the break room and settled at her desk ready
to start her day. She fired up her computer and almost immediately a
text box opened in a program she had never seen before.
'Are you alone?' the text read.
Adele hesitated and then typed.
'Yes.'
'Good. Close the door to your office and sit back down.'
Adele was suspicious but she complied. She was not sure if this was a
prank or some anonymous informer about to provide her with some inside
information about a case. It had happened before.
'Do NOT call the police! Do NOT call for help! Do NOT tell anyone! DO
NOT SCREAM! Just watch the video and await further instructions,' the
textbox said.
Adele's computer had dual screens and another window opened on the
second monitor and Adele instinctively maximised it to fill the
screen.
The spectacle on the screen was best described as dungeon-like. The
room was dark and gloomy except for where two bright studio lights on
tripod stands illuminated one wall. Whoever was holding the camera
panned it around the room and then set it on a mount as the picture
steadied. The camera panned right to the wall illuminated by the
studio lights.
Adele stifled a scream.
Kimberly Edwards and her friend Alisha Common were dressed in their
spin attire: spandex tights and crop tops. Both girls were wearing
full makeup but it was smeared, especially their eye-makeup which had
given them both panda-eyes because they had been crying. She
recognised Kimberly's dishevelled strawberry-blonde hair and Alisha's
tousled and tangled black hair. It was definitely her daughter and her
daughter's best friend.
They were both chained to the wall by their wrists, their arms
outstretched and their legs spread wide by stainless steel spreader-
bars cuffed to their ankles.
She stifled another scream.
A man wearing a black tracksuit with a ski-mask covering his face came
into view. He positioned himself between the girls and held up a
newspaper. Whoever was operating the camera zoomed onto the newspaper.
It was this morning's edition of the LA Times.
The man tossed the newspaper away and sidled up to Kimberly as the
camera panned out. Kimberly looked terrified as the man caressed her,
stroking her face. Tears streamed down her cheeks and Adele sobbed in
sympathy with her daughter. The man turned around and caressed Alisha
the same way. There was no sound but she could see that Alisha was
sobbing.
The camera followed the man as he walked away from the girls and stood
over a laptop computer sitting on a stool. As he began to type the
words appeared in the textbox on Adele's screen.
'We have Kimberly and Alisha. You have just been given proof of life.'
'We can do anything we want to them any time we want. Can you imagine
what I could do to your daughter Adele? Answer!'
Adele typed 'Yes', still in a state of shock.
'I bet they both have nice tight young pussies, and unless you do
exactly what we tell you to do, my friend and I are going to find out.
We'll play with them for a while, even film it for you, then when
we've finished... well we won't need them anymore will we?'
'So you need to make it worth our while to keep them alive and
unharmed. If you do what we ask when we tell you we will not touch
them, in fact they will be well be cared for.'
The man turned to face the camera and she could see the evil smile
even though he wore a mask.
'What do you want?' Adele regained her composure and typed in the
question.
'That's the 64 thousand dollar question isn't it? But we want more
than 64 thousand dollars Adele... a lot more.'
'We are reasonable people. By all means tell Celia; you have to. Tell
whoever need to, so long as you trust them. Do whatever you have to do
to meet our demands and keep your daughter and her friend safe. You
are going to need some help to get what we want.'
'We need you to stay calm Adele. You and Celia need to go about
business as usual; if fact it's imperative. Both of you MUST keep
working your cases, that is essential. You will find out why later.'
'We will be in touch soon with our demands. DO NOT go to the
authorities, we will know instantly. You can see we are intelligent
and resourceful so don't treat us like idiots.'
"Oh by the way. By all means get your IT people to try to trace this
conversation... they will find nothing and it will demonstrate to you
how clever we are. Bye, Adele hahaha!'
The screen went blank and Adele's computer shutdown of its own accord
and began to reboot.
When Adele's computer rebooted she tried in vain to find the textbox,
then she looked at all the installed apps to see if she could find
anything amiss but she was grasping at straws, she didn't know enough
about IT to know if anything on her computer had been messed with.
Then the enormity of what she had just seen on the screen washed over
her and she began to cry. Adele was strong. She had been in some tough
situations before and she herself had been abducted and survived so
she only allowed herself a few minutes of agony before she brought her
emotions under control.
It was not the first time Kimberly had been abducted either. Kimberly
was nearly thirteen years old when she and Adele had been abducted by
two men and held in a shotgun shack deep in the Kentucky forest.
Kimberly had been kept in a separate room while Adele was sexually
assaulted repeatedly by the two men who held them. Adele had been
complicit and a willing participant in the non-stop sex, sacrificing
her dignity and morality to keep the men away from Kimberly.
The assaults continued until Kimberly had eventually freed herself and
opened the door to the room where she was being held captive to find
Adele bent over a table being sodomised by one of their captors.
Kimberly had managed to get her hands on a shotgun and killed the man
who was assaulting Adele and then Adele had shot the man who had
intended to assault Kimberly.
Adele and Kimberly had escaped and torched the cabin and sworn each
other to secrecy. Neither of them ever spoke about it again
Adele desperately hoped that Kimberly would not have to suffer the
same terrible ordeal that she had been forced to endure and made the
decision right there and then that she would comply with the
instructions issued by her daughter's captors.
She doubted what she had seen on her screen was anything but real but
we live in a world where elaborate internet scams and hoaxes are rife.
She snatched up her phone and called Kimberly. The call went straight
to a recorded message informing her that the phone was not in service.
She worked the phone and brought up Alisha Common's number and got the
same result.
Adele began to shake and sob again but she brought her emotions under
control and called the landline to the apartment that Kimberly shared
with Alisha at the Saxon Residential Suites campus accommodation. The
phone didn't answer and went to the answering machine. Adele choked
with emotion when she heard her daughter's cheerful voice on the
recorded message.
She decided that she needed to stop playing amateur detective and get
hold of Celia and tell her what was happening. She punched up Celia's
mobile number and Celia answered on the first ring.
"Keep yer knickers on darling I'm in the lift. Be a love and make me a
coffee will you," Celia's cheerful upper-class British accent greeted
her.
"Come straight to my office Celia, something deadly serious has
happened," Adele said coldly.
"Adele... you seem to attract melodrama like a magnet. I'll see you
soon," Celia broke the connection.
Adele decided that Celia would need more than just coffee when Adele
told her what had happened to her daughter and she quickly raced to
the break room and filled a mug with steaming coffee from the Bun and
took it back to her office and poured a shot of bourbon into it and
sat it on her desk. Celia came through the door seconds later.
Celia was British, very British. She had an upper-class London accent
and a bespoke sense of class and style, preferring black short-skirted
suits and ridiculously high heels. She changed the colour of her satin
blouse daily depending on her mood, the only splash of colour she wore
besides her silver jewellery. Celia wore her jet-black hair in a short
bob with bangs cut straight; her skin was pale, accentuated by her
dark eye makeup and blood-red lipstick.
She had often been described as a sophisticated Goth.
Adele and Celia were very different but they both exuded style, class
and sensuality. Their friends envied the connection they had with each
other; they sometimes seemed to read each other's minds. The bond
between them was affirmed by absentminded little touches. They seemed
to need to constantly caress, stroke and pat each other whenever they
were together. They wore their love for each other proudly.
Adele squeezed Celia so hard that she nearly drove the breath out of
her but her kiss was perfunctory, not the usual passionate smooch she
insisted on after spending a night apart. She knew then that Adele was
not lying when she said something serious had happened.
"Sit." Adele pointed to the leather lounge suite in the corner of her
office where she seated clients during private meetings.
Celia eyed the steaming mug of coffee that smelled strongly of alcohol
suspiciously while Adele closed and locked her office door and then
joined her on the couch. Celia wondered if something was wrong between
them and felt a pang of guilt about her overnight liaison with her
lover.
*****
Celia had spent the night with Elidi Merriweather at Elidi's
eclectically furnished apartment.
They met as usual for drinks and dinner at a lesbian bar in the city.
Celia got there first and ordered a drink at the bar whilst waiting
for Elidi and was approached by a heavy-set woman with spiky cropped
hair wearing no makeup but lots of denim and leather. She had multiple
piercings and wore face jewellery. She was overly confident, almost
manly as she put her engineer boot up on the rail and leaned into
Celia and whispered into her ear.
"You're a pretty little bite, all gussied up in that little black suit
and those fuck-me heels. Come back to my place and I'll do things to
you that you will remember for the rest of your life." The overly-
large woman's breath reeked of beer and cigarettes.
"Sounds like an offer a serial killer might make. Sorry honey but
diesel-dikes are not my scene and I'm waiting for someone. I'm
strictly into lipstick-lesbians and one lipstick-lesbian in
particular," Celia replied.
Elidi had entered the bar and stood near the door watching the
interaction. She had an amused smile on her face.
Elidi was tall and tanned with long blonde hair, her face was bright
and sunny, her makeup accentuated her sparkling blue eyes and her full
sensuous lips coated in blood-red lipstick similar to Celia's. Elidi's
body was magnificent; lean toned and svelte. She was wearing a cream
business suit, the hem of her skirt resting mid-thigh; she wore ultra-
sheer nude pantyhose on her long tanned legs. Her white high heels
matched her suit, under which she wore a mauve satin blouse.
"Honey, you might like a bit of rough. Those pretty little things who
play at being bean flickers are ok if you want to play scissor sisters
but I'll pound you like a grand piano until you scream." The dyke
grinned.
"I have a wife at home who has a big cock that satisfies that
particular peccadillo. If I wanted a fat, tattooed, ugly man-woman to
grind against me I'd go to a biker bar and find one. I have my hand in
my purse and in it is a can of mace. If you don't remove yourself from
my presence I'm going to spray you in the eyes with it, then I'm going
to sue you in court for everything you have." Celia returned the grin.
Lidia French, the owner of the bar and a good friend of Celia's came
over and stood behind the bar opposite the two women. She too had been
amused by the encounter but it was time to break it up.
"Time to go home Beryl; you've had one too many and you're no match
for Miz Bettany here," Lidia interjected.
Beryl's smile fell from her face and she retreated, she returned to
her table, gathered her things and left the bar.
"Did you enjoy the show?" Celia smiled at Elidi and gave her welcoming
kiss.
"I always find it amusing that butch dykes automatically think that
girly-girls crave Neanderthal women." Elidi perched herself on a stool
beside Celia.
Elidi worked for the law firm of Dewey, Howe and French and Celia had
met her during a case. Celia had wrangled with the guilt she felt
after spending the night with Elidi but Adele had reasoned that there
was nothing wrong with either of them satisfying their sexual
fantasies and that their love for each other and the bonds they felt
by marriage were strong enough to allow them to do so. That is how
Thursday night 'play night' had come about.
Elidi saw other women besides Celia of course and sometimes men. Her
parents were free spirits who had encouraged their daughter to explore
her sexuality and to live a bohemian lifestyle, but most Thursday
nights she reserved for Celia.
When they had first met, Celia had teased Elidi about her name. She
had been drunk and had spent a wonderful evening at Elidi's apartment.
"Your name literally means 'gift of the sun, happy weather." Celia had
broken up when she deciphered Elidi's name.
"Blame my hippy parents. At least my name doesn't sound like an extra
from Downton Abbey," Elidi had retorted.
Having dealt with the diesel dyke they skipped dinner and went
straight back to Elidi's apartment.
They barely made it inside before they pounced on each other. Celia
pushed Elidi against the wall. Although Celia was smaller in stature
her craving gave her greater strength and she crushed her mouth
against Elidi's, nipping her lip and then she drove her tongue inside
Elidi's mouth. Elidi groaned as Celia pushed her hand under her skirt
and found her sex. Elidi's panties were already damp and Celia pushed
her middle finger into Elidi's vulva through flimsy layers of satin
and nylon and opened her labia and pressed the pad of her finger
against Elidi's clitoris, pressing hard and circling it.
Waves of pleasure emanated from Elidi's vagina and her knees buckled.
Celia pressed her body harder against Elidi to keep her upright. Elidi
put her arms around Celia to keep her balance as Celia propelled Elidi
over to the bed still locked in the fierce embrace, their lips sealed
and her hand between Elidi's legs. She pushed Elidi down onto the huge
white-quilted bed cover and Elidi lay panting, her skirt hitched high,
her lipstick smeared, her vulva throbbing.
Celia stared down at her lover, her eyes burning with lust. Celia
unbuttoned her jacket and tossed it away, then unzipped her skirt and
allowed it to fall around her ankles. She kicked her skirt aside and
unbuttoned her blouse which she tossed on top of her discarded skirt.
Elidi pushed her skirt down to her ankles and kicked it off; her
jacket and blouse were hastily removed just in time before Celia fell
on her and crushed her lips against Elidi's. Celia slid her tongue
into Elidi's mouth and her hands went to Elidi's breasts, easing her
firm globes from the cups of her bra. She mauled Elidi's bosom,
squeezing the flesh and tweaking her nipples which were already
engorged and tender.
Elidi screamed into Celia's mouth as Celia mounted her and pressed her
sodden panty-clad mound against Elidi's. Celia's black stockings
whispered against Elidi's gossamer flesh-toned pantyhose, the satin
and nylon of their panties caressed their sodden cuntal lips. They
disengaged briefly to remove their panties and Elidi tried to remove
her pantyhose but Celia prevented her. She interlocked her legs with
Elidi and pressed her cunt against her and ground it in a circular
pattern.
The translucent gusset of Elidi's pantyhose evoked scintillas of
delight and both women moaned as they pressed their cunts together,
writhing and grinding against each other. They both orgasmed; pawing
at each other's breasts as they ground their sodden minges together.
Celia disentangled herself from Elidi whilst she was still in the
throes of extremis and worked her tongue along Elidi's thighs until
she reached her crotch and then she tore out the gusset of Elidi's
pantyhose with her teeth and opened her coral-pink labia like the
petals of flower. She lapped at the delicate pick lips which were
engorged with lust and flicked the hood of Elidi's clitoris with the
tip of her tongue and Elidi wrapped her fingers in Celia's scalp and
pushed her face harder into her tingling sex. Elidi's orgasm had not
yet subsided; instead it was building again into an earth-shattering
crescendo.
Celia lapped at Elidi's clitoris and was able to free her hand and
slide two fingers inside Elidi's sopping maw. She found Elidi's G-spot
and worked it as she sucked and licked Elidi's clitoris. Her other
hand was frantically rubbing her own sex invoking a second orgasm.
Elidi screamed as a tumultuous climax decimated her senses; her body
shook with a paroxysm of pleasure that was close to sensory overload,
she pushed Celia's face into her crotch and wrapped her legs around
Celia's head to keep her there as she moaned and wailed like a
slattern.
Celia could hardly breathe but the intensity of Elidi's orgasm
triggered her own sexual apogee and she shuddered with the magnitude
of it.
The fierceness of Elidi's climax was so immense that she nearly passed
out; her breathing was deep and ragged. Slowly her orgasm began to
dissipate and she opened her legs, freeing Celia from imprisonment and
then she reached down and pulled Celia up her body so that Celia lay
on top of her.
"I'm sorry," Elidi whispered.
Celia caressed Elidi's face and leaned in and kissed her gently.
"Sorry for what? For making me the happiest woman alive." Celia
grinned down at Elidi.
Even with her ruined makeup Celia was a classic beauty.
"For nearly suffocating you." Elidi grinned sheepishly.
"Oh that's fine honey. I'm getting us both a glass of wine and when my
cunt has sufficiently recovered we are swapping places." Celia grinned
down at her lover.
Celia helped Elidi out of her bra and took off her high heels. She
kicked off her own heels and stripped off her bra. Both women were
naked except for their hosiery which they would leave on and would be
tattered ruins by the next morning. As they lay side by side sipping
icy cold Chablis, Elidi's long lean tanned frame contrasting with
Celia's shorter curvy alabaster body, they enjoyed the silence as only
two lovers who were deeply committed could.
*****
After being chained to the wall in the dungeon-like room Kimberly
Edwards and Alisha Common were gagged, blindfolded, handcuffed and led
to the room next door to the dungeon. They were thrown onto separate
beds in a well-appointed bedroom but neither of them could see that,
they could just feel the soft mattresses and smell the fresh bed linen
on which they lay.
"Welcome to your new home ladies," the man who had been in the back of
the van said.
The two young women floundered on their beds, squawking into their
gags, struggling with their bonds.
The man strode over to Alisha and grabbed her by the crotch and
squeezed. She wriggled like a hooked fish.
"Stop that or I'll squeeze harder," he growled.
Alisha lay still.
"Good girl," he sighed and eased his grip.
"You can't see it Kimberly but I've got Alisha by the cunt and I just
hurt her. We don't want to hurt either of you; in fact we want you to
be as comfortable as possible while you are here so as long as you
both do as you are told and your mother behaves as directed, your stay
here should not be intolerable."
"I'm shortly going to remove your bonds, gags and blindfolds and you
will be free to do whatever you wish in the confines of these rooms.
If you try to escape, which I warn you is impossible, you will get
hurt. If you don't do what we tell you when we tell you, you will get
hurt. If you make things hard for us we will make them very hard for
you. Enjoy your little luxuries." the man said gruffly.
"Ok you first blondie," The man flicked open his pocket knife and cut
through the cable ties on Kimberly's wrists and ankles.
He removed the gag from her mouth and the blindfold from her eyes and
she rubbed at her wrists and ankles to get the circulation moving. She
was virtually blinded by the fluorescent lights. The man went over to
Alisha and performed the same tasks. Her vulva was sore from where the
man had grabbed her.
"Get cleaned up ladies, you both stink. You'll find everything you
need right here. We have hung your suit carriers up for you so can
change into clean clothes. You will find some clean underwear in the
drawers; you're going to be here a little while unfortunately," the
man said and left the room, securely locking the door behind him.
Kimberly and Alisha found each other and hugged, clinging to each
other as they sobbed away their initial torment and suffering which
was immediately replaced by uncertainty, fear and apprehension.
"Why have they taken us?" Alisha finally asked when she was able to
talk coherently.
"I don't think we have been taken by sexual psychopaths; if that was
the case we would have been raped by now and I doubt our captors would
be concerned about our wellbeing and comfort. The comment he made
about my mother behaving as directed leads me to believe that we are
being ransomed." Kimberly was smart and had an analytical brain.
"But I have no family Kimberly. Who will pay a ransom for me?" Alisha
looked shocked.
"You're part of our family Alisha as far as I'm concerned, you know
that. Anyway that's for Adele and Celia to deal with, we need to look
after ourselves now," Kimberly comforted her best friend.
Kimberly took some time to take in their surroundings.
The room they were in was the equivalent of a reasonable quality motel
room with the exception that there were no windows, only blank
cinderblock walls and a formidable looking door which was solidly
locked. The smell of fresh paint pervaded the room and the furniture
and fittings appeared to be new. There were two double beds with side
tables and lamps, a vanity table, a three piece lounge suite with a
low table and the bare concrete floor was scattered with cheap throw
rugs. There was even a flat-screen TV and a fully stocked
refrigerator.
Kimberly opened a double wardrobe inside of which she found their
garment carriers and gym bags. She rummaged through her gym bag and
was not surprised to find that her cell phone and personal effects
were missing.
The ensuite bathroom was well appointed with a shower stall, two sinks
and a clean toilet. The bath towels, hand towels and face washers
appeared to be fresh out of their wrappers. There was an adequate
supply of toiletries and two bathrobes hung on hooks behind the door.
"Hey Kimberly, check this out!" Alisha called from the bedroom and
Kimberly joined her at the vanity table.
The table was stocked with cosmetics and ladies essentials. There were
two drawers on either side of the table stocked with underwear and
lingerie.
Both women frowned at each other.
"This to me seems like good news and bad news. The good news is we are
going to be well looked after. The bad news is it looks like we might
be here for a while," Kimberly said sagely.
"Well there is nothing we can do for now so I'm taking a shower," the
ever pragmatic Kimberly said.
"Let me pee first and I'll turn on the TV and see if there is any
news," Alisha said.
"We're going to be ok Alisha. We're going to get through this."
Kimberly hugged her friend again briefly before she went to pee.
Neither of the girls had noticed the pinhole cameras hidden in the
walls and ceilings of the bedroom and the bathroom.
*****
Adele watched the blood drain from Celia's face when she told her
about the girls abduction and the video message she had received from
the kidnappers.
Celia, like Adele, was calm in a crisis but the thought of Kimberly
and Alisha being chained in a dungeon and held by two psychopaths was
terrifying.
"Look Celia... this is what I know. We can't go to the authorities,
they are obviously tech savvy so let's assume for now that they are
monitoring our phones and devices and may even have someone watching
us. It's clearly a kidnap for ransom, they made it clear they want
money." Adele held Celia's hand in hers and could feel it shaking.
"They said they are reasonable people and I was to tell you and
whoever we need to, so long as we trust them not to go to the police.
They also said that we are going to need some help to get what they
want and we are to do whatever we have to do to meet their demands and
keep Kimberly and Alisha safe," Adele explained.
Celia was silent. She was dealing with the initial shock and grief.
She knew that allowing her anguish and heartbreak to control her
emotions would serve no purpose. Celia took her sorrow and rage and
forged them into resolve. Adele watched her wife as these emotions
played out across her face.
"We need to think clearly about this Adele. You're certain they have
been abducted? You've called them? It's not some elaborate hoax?"
Celia was clutching at straws and she knew it.
"They held a copy of today's LA times in front of the camera," Adele
replied.
"So who do we trust?" Celia took a legal pad and pen from Adele's
desk.
"We need IT Guy, you know, Steven Baker," Celia wrote on the pad.
"What about Michelle?" Celia looked up at Adele.
"I trust her but we need someone in this law firm who is not affected
by this. We have to go on as if it's business as usual. You need
Michelle with a clear head for the Brindle case," Adele said after
some thought.
"I've got Sandra Cochran second chairing the Palmer case with me so we
won't tell her either," Adele added.
"Do we go to professionals? You know; KFR experts outside of law
enforcement? Will the kidnappers know?" Celia chewed on the end of the
pen.
"I honestly don't know. I think we get Steven Baker in here asap and
find out how deep into our systems these guys are," Adele said
decisively and Celia nodded her head in agreement.
Celia called Steven Baker who was in his car on his way to work and
told him to get to the office as soon as possible whilst Adele had a
quick meeting with Sandra Cochran, the firm's associate and her second
chair on the sexual assault case. She gave Sandra instructions and
told her that she would be in conference until late afternoon. She
reassured Sandra that they were well prepared for the case and gave
her a 'to-do' list to keep her busy.
Adele was about to try a civil case involving a plaintiff who was
military but had been seconded to a Defense contractor who was being
paid millions of dollars to develop military hardware. The plaintiff
claimed one of the CEOs of the company had sexually harassed her and
had forced her to have sex with him.
Adele had been hoping for a quick settlement. She had a good client,
good witnesses and good forensic evidence but the defence was dug in
like a tick and had no interest in settling the case. The kidnapping
of her daughter couldn't have come at a worse time.
Celia did the same with Michelle DeLong who was her second chair on
the Brindle Coal and Power case.
Steven Baker was ushered into Adele's office and when he arrived they
left instructions with the firm's receptionist that they were not to
be disturbed under any circumstances.
Steven Baker was shocked when Adele told him about the abduction of
Kimberly Edwards and Alisha Common and even more so when he was told
that the kidnappers were using cyber technology to maintain contact.
Adele had allowed Kimberly to work as a paralegal at the firm while
she was studying law at UCLA and Steven and Kimberly had worked
together recently preparing evidence for Adele's current case. Steven
opened his briefcase and took out a valise that held a number of flash
drives and other data storage devices. He plugged a USB drive into a
port on Adele's computer and a blue-screen with white computer code
text appeared.
Steven tapped away on the keyboard muttering to himself. Celia and
Adele sat down in the lounge area of the office and played the 'what
if' game over and over. They were both close to breaking down.
"Ok Adele I've got good news and I've got bad news." Steven sucked on
his thumbnail.
Adele and Celia came over and looked at the computer screens.
"The good news is that I found the dropbox that the abductors have
planted in your computer. It's super smart with incredible encryption.
They are sending you real-time video and data feeds that are scrubbed
from the dropbox instantaneously, almost as soon as they appear on
your screen." Steven pointed to a bunch of software code that made no
sense to either Adele or Celia.
"They are bouncing from IP address to IP address across the globe in
milliseconds and the feed is so intelligently encrypted that I doubt
anyone could trace it." Steven appeared to be impressed by the
brilliance of Adele's daughter's kidnappers.
"So what's the good news?" Celia asked.
"No Celia. That was the good news. The bad news is that even if I
could remove the dropbox, which I'm not sure I can without frying your
computer and possibly our whole network, you will have effectively
lost your means of communication with your daughter's abductors. And
pissing them off right now might not be the best thing to do," Steven
said sagely.
"I'd like all of your devices and smartphones so I can check them for
malware too please. You'll have them back by close of business,"
Steven said confidently.
Adele and Celia handed Steven their personal devices and felt almost
naked without them but being incommunicado for the rest of the day
might be a good thing for them. They would have no distractions while
they contemplated their next course of action.
"I'm certain that they are monitoring the activity on your
workstation. Assume that they can see everything you do on it, and
I'll check but I bet they are monitoring your cell too. Here is a
laptop that is clean and not connected to our network; I have it
connected to the internet via a secure VPN." Steve set up the laptop
on the coffee table for Adele and Celia to use.
"I'm going down to the server room to work on our network and check
these devices," Steven said and left the room.
Adele worked the laptop and after a while she found what she was
looking for.
"I've never used these guys but they come highly recommended," Adele
said, pointing to a webpage she had brought up on her computer screen.
"Peter Duffy has used them before and he recommended them to me should
I need any work done that might flirt with the legitimacies of the
law. They are very discreet; in fact I had difficulty finding them.
They work in the shadows and they blur the line when it comes to
legalities but they might be just what we need," Adele said.
The webpage was plain and read: Executive Solutions.
The webpage was dark blue with black font; there was an email link and
a phone number, nothing else. Evidently if you didn't know what
Executive Solutions had to offer you had no right being on their
webpage.
"What do you think?" Celia looked at Adele; the concern on her face
was almost heartbreaking.
"We don't want to anger the abductors but I feel helpless doing
nothing. It can't hurt to enquire," Adele replied.
Adele and Celia went out, ostensibly for coffee, and while they were
out they bought two prepaid 'burner phones'. Adele made the call to
Executive Solutions and identified herself and requested to meet with
someone senior in the firm regarding a sensitive matter that required
immediate attention.
Adele and Celia were on their second cup of coffee when Adele's burner
phone rang and a woman who identified herself as Cassandra Rivers
spoke briefly to Adele whose responses were minimal. Cassandra wanted
nothing of consequence to be said over the cellular network.
"So?" Celia asked expectantly when Adele hung up.
"We have a meeting. These guys are secretive; all I have so far is a
place to meet."
"Then let's go," Celia said.
"I gave this Cassandra woman an outline of what has happened and she
too is worried about us being traced so she's given me some
instructions that we need to follow exactly," Adele explained.
"Fuck the instructions! I want my daughter back unharmed," Celia
cried.
Adele drove her BMW to LA International Airport and parked in the
short-term parking lot. A black SUV with tinted windows pulled up
beside them and the rear doors opened.
"Here we go I guess." Adele locked her car and they climbed into the
back seat of the SUV.
The front seats were occupied by two strapping men wearing black suits
and Raybans. They said nothing to Adele and Celia but one of them
spoke into a mobile phone. He talked briefly and then turned to face
the two women.
"Given the information you have provided to Cassie she wants to take
the utmost precautions. This cell is encrypted and can't be traced.
Please confirm the only devices you have with you are the prepaid
disposable phones you recently purchased?" the man held up his own
smart phone.
"That's right. Our personal phones and other devices are with our
firm's IT technician who is examining them to see if they are
infected," Adele replied.
The man just grunted and nodded to his partner who put the SUV in gear
and began to drive.
After taking a circuitous route which involved doubling back a number
of times and entering and leaving three parking garages by different
entrances and exits the SUV arrived outside a converted warehouse, the
fa?ade of which had been restored to its original rusticity but the
pedestrian entrance and the windows were modern and stark; all brushed
aluminium and black glass.
The SUV turned into a driveway which led to down to an underground
garage. The security door opened when the driver activated a clicker.
The car pulled up next to an elevator and the man in the passenger
seat got out of the vehicle and punched a code into a keypad and the
elevator doors opened.
Adele and Celia alighted from the vehicle and entered the elevator and
the man pushed the button for the first floor and left Adele and Celia
alone. The elevator doors opened onto the first floor to an opulent
foyer where a handsome, hard-boiled security guard stood erect looking
very observant. Sitting behind a sleek blonde-wood-panelled desk was
an attractive and impeccably dressed receptionist.
Adele and Celia were greeted by a tall, long-legged woman wearing a
black pencil skirt with a kick-pleat, a pristine white satin blouse,
nearly-nude fifteen denier hosiery and patent-leather black high
heels. Her shoulder-length hair was professionally cut and styled,
coloured black with subtle ruby highlights. Her makeup was heavy but
perfect and both Adele and Cassie would have been smitten with her in
other circumstances.
"Hello I'm Cassandra Rivers but please call me Cassie." She put out
her hand and shook with Adele and Celia.
She led them to a small conference room and offered them coffee which
they both declined.
"Let's get to it ladies, time is always critical in KFR cases," Cassie
said when they were seated.
"This place is as secure as Langley, tell me everything." Cassie
smoothed her skirt under her and sat beside Adele.
Adele told Cassie everything.
"Ok. I get it. These guys are smart. They obviously had your daughter
and her friend under observation for some time because the abduction
was slick; we've contacted all of our law enforcement sources and
there has been no reports of a girl or girls being abducted in the
greater LA area. No law enforcement agencies have been alerted."
Cassie had opened a laptop and was reading from the screen.
"What exactly do you want us to do?" Cassie asked.
"What can you do?" Celia asked.
"We can try to trace your daughter to her current location. Find out
how she was abducted and where she was taken and possibly find out who
is holding her," Cassie replied.
"We could also act as intermediary with the kidnappers, arrange for
the delivery of a ransom if that's what you want."
"Or... we could attempt a recovery, if it's possible, but that carries
a lot of risk, but risk management is our business."
"There are many variables but they come at a cost; our services do not
come cheap."
"We have our own guy trying to trace the kidnappers using information
technology but he's not confident he will have any luck and he's
worried about pissing them off if they find out what we are doing,
although the kidnappers taunted me telling me that they fully expected
us to do so. Hiring you guys is different. We were specifically warned
us not to go to the authorities," Adele said.
"We are not the authorities; far from it in fact," Cassie countered.
"Executive Solutions has an excellent success rate but trying to
retrieve kidnap victims always carries risk. May I suggest we proceed
gradually? We can find out all we can about your daughter's abduction
and try to locate her and her friend while you continue to negotiate
with the kidnappers," Cassie suggested.
"Gradually! Fucking gradually! Those fuckers have my daughter and
Christ knows what they're doing to her and you propose we proceed
gradually!" Celia was almost screaming.
Adele tried her best to calm her wife and eventually Celia settled
down.
"I'm sorry Ms Rivers but you can understand the pressure we are
under," Adele said.
"Don't apologise for me Adele!" Celia snapped.
"I do understand. Look, when we work with couples in situations like
this we find it's best if we work with just one of them as the
primary. That person makes decisions for both parties and becomes the
sole point of contact," Cassie explained.
"You're cutting me out?" Celia looked heartbroken.
"No. Not at all. I just need simple lines of communication. I'll be
blunt. I can't have my people standing in danger waiting for a 'go' or
'no-go' while two parents argue about whether or not it's the right
thing to do. Kidnappings can be drawn out affairs but there will be
times when an immediate critical decision has to be made and there is
no time for dicking around. The customer is paying for the service so
they get to say yes or no but we don't have time for a family
conference," Cassie explained.
"The kidnappers contacted Adele initially and we know that they have
set up a dropbox on her work computer; it follows that they have made
the decision for us. They have made Adele their primary point of
contact, therefore I suggest we do the same," Cassie said.
She did not add that Adele appeared to the most stable out of the two
women at the moment.
"It makes sense Celia. You have that huge Brindle case to deal with;
my case is ready to proceed, I begin trial tomorrow and it's pretty
much open and shut. You've got to travel to Missionville to see your
clients so you're going to be out of town." Adele took Celia's hand.
"Fuck my clients and fuck Brindle! I want my daughter back!" Celia
said coldly.
"If I may Ms Edwards," Cassie interjected.
"I'm going to talk to you both truthfully. In their demands the
kidnappers threatened to rape the girls and dispose of them unless you
do exactly what they tell you to do. They have stated that they want a
large sum of money but have not yet stipulated how much," Cassie laid
out what they knew.
"The only demand they have made so far is that you and Celia need to
go about business as usual. They stated that it is imperative that you
both keep working your cases; that it is essential and you will find
out why later. I can only surmise that one or both of the cases you
are working is somehow tied to their demands," Cassie explained.
"The Brindle case could pay upward of a billion dollars. If we win the
case or settle our firm will make a tidy profit but that's months
away. We are still in discovery and taking depositions," Celia
quipped.
"My case is simpler. I'm asking for a five million dollar settlement
of which I'd take a third. Our firm will likely clear a million after
taxes but my adversary is refusing to settle. We might get more in
court, my client is sympathetic," Adele added.
"And how much could you both bring to the table if we receive a ransom
demand sometime soon?" Cassie asked.
Adele and Celia talked amongst themselves a little.
"We could likely rustle up close to two million dollars cash at short
notice. If we had time to liquidate some assets and access our
offshore accounts we could get considerably more, but like I said that
would take time," Adele explained.
"Our daughter Kimberly has three million dollars in a trust fund
account we set up for her after her mother settled with Brindle Coal
and Power some years ago. She's accessing some of it while she's at
college but she doesn't get the bulk until she turns thirty. It's
untouchable, we locked it down when we set up the trust," Adele
extrapolated.
"Ok, well Executive Solutions is going to need a one hundred thousand
dollar retainer to start with so factor that into your finances and
let me know how you wish to proceed." Cassie stood up.
"I'll give you the room for a while to talk." She checked her watch.
"I'll give you fifteen minutes." Cassie left the room and despite the
dire situation Adele couldn't help watching Cassie's tight ass in that
pencil skirt as she departed.
Adele and Celia had a heated discussion. Celia did not want to leave
LA whilst their daughter was in the hands of the kidnappers but Adele
reminded Celia that the kidnappers had demanded that they work their
cases as usual and not attract undue attention.
"You have to go to your client conference and depose those witnesses
with Michelle; I'll hold the fort here and try my case," Adele
reasoned.
After much bickering, crying and hugging it was agreed. Adele would
take the lead and be the point of contact for both the kidnappers and
Executive Solutions. Celia would head east to Kentucky for ten days
for her client conference and witness depositions and also meet with
the Brindle Coal and Power lawyers to try to get the discovery moved
along and see if a settlement was possible. She would also need to
meet with clerk of the court in Missionville and try to get a hearing
before the judge.
Cassie came back into the room carrying a tray with a coffee pot,
cups, cream and sugar. Adele told her what had been decided.
"Ok we're good then. You need to keep my firm's involvement secret;
you tell no one, not even your IT guy. The less people who know about
it the less chance of the kidnappers or law enforcement finding out."
Cassie poured coffee for each of them.
"Adele, you never come back here again and only contact me if it's
essential using your burner. Let's assume that your devices are being
tracked by the kidnappers. I am taking the lead on this case
personally because it involves young women and because both of
Kimberly's parents are women; men have their uses but they can
sometimes be obtuse." Cassie smiled and Adele and Celia smiled back at
her.
It was the first time they had smiled since this morning.
"Let's get the paperwork out of the way. This is our standard
contract." Cassie placed a document on the table and walked Adele and
Celia through the formalities while they drank coffee.
"I'll have you dropped back at your car and then you go about business
as usual. I'll be in touch." Cassie said when they had finished with
the paperwork.
She walked them to the parking garage and surprised Adele and Celia
when she kissed them both on the cheek.
Back at the offices of Edwards and Bettany, Adele and Celia called in
on Steven Baker.
"Your tablets and laptops are fine from what I can make out but both
of you can be tracked by your cell phones. That technology is readily
available to anyone. You could change your numbers but that is only
likely to piss off the kidnappers. Also they might want to contact you
on your phones." Steven handed the women back their phones.
They did not tell Steven about the burners they had purchased.
"It's unlikely that they can actually listen in your conversations but
let's assume that they can read your text messages and intercept
incoming and outgoing telephone numbers," Steven said.
"I'll keep trying to trace the origin of the dropbox feed; that's all
I can do for now until they contact either of you again," Steven
explained.
The women took their devices back to their offices and tried to work
on their respective cases for the rest of the day.
When they got home to their apartment they fell into each other's arms
and sobbed until they had cried it all out. They kissed and the kisses
became more passionate as they both craved the touch of a warm body.
They undressed as far as taking off their skirts blouses before Adele
pushed Celia down on the couch and lay between her legs. Celia groaned
when Adele pulled aside the gusset of Celia's panties and slid her
rampant penis inside her all the way.
Adele crushed Celia's lips with hers as Celia wrapped her black-
stockinged legs around Adele's waist and held her close. Adele had
simply freed her cock from where it was tucked between her legs and
pulled down her pantyhose and panties before she had shoved the
throbbing appendage into her wife.
Adele didn't move, she just let the throbbing of her cock and her
pubis pressing against Celia's sex stimulate her lover. They clung to
each other kissing and caressing, extracting the essence and soul from
each other; comforting each other with their bodies.
Adele began to move imperceptibly, moving her cock inside Celia's
tight slick cunt. They made love softly and slowly for what seemed
like an eternity and then Adele began to quicken the pace. Celia
encouraged her, raking her heels on Adele's flanks. Adele responded
and drove her cock deep inside Celia's vagina with such force that
Celia would be bruised the next day.
"Give it to me you bitch! Fuck me! Fuck me hard!" Celia moaned
writhing on the couch where Adele had her pinned, slamming her cock in
out of Celia's sodden vagina.
Celia grasped Adele's bottom and scoured her fingernails along Adele's
tight buttocks, tearing her flimsy nylon panties and ripping open her
pantyhose so she could feel Adele's bare flesh. Adele lifted Celia's
legs over her shoulders so she could drive her cock as far into
Celia's velvety cunt as she could. She plunged her throbbing cock
inside Celia and ground against her; she bit Celia's lip and grazed
her fingernails along Celia's thighs, laddering her stockings.
Both women howled as Adele's cock shuddered and convulsed inside
Celia's snug moist cavity, ejaculating so much semen that it filled
Celia's cunt to overflowing and ran in rivulets between her legs,
soaking into her satin panties. Celia squirmed and wriggled under
Adele as a monstrous orgasm washed over her; every nerve and sinew
tingled as waves of intense pleasure wracked her body.
They lay panting in each other's arms, unable to speak as they tried
to catch their breath. Eventually the room became dark with
lengthening shadows and the air became chill. Adele was finally able
to move.
She picked up Celia off the couch and carried her to bed, slipping off
Celia's high heels and pulling the covers over her. Adele kicked off
her own shoes and slid under the covers and wrapped her arms and legs
around Celia and pulled her close. They whispered their undying love
for each other and made love again, this time softly and lovingly.
Neither of them slept well and they woke early and showered together.
Their bodies were scratched and bruised from their lovemaking and they
were tender with each other as they lathered each other's bodies under
the hot water.
Adele drove Celia to airport where she would meet Michelle DeLong in
the business lounge and together they would fly to Kentucky.
"Find my daughter Adele. Don't let anything happen to her," Celia said
as they hugged and kissed goodbye.
Two men in business suits stared openly at the two attractive mature
women in short-skirted business suits hugging and kissing each other.
Celia managed to catch one of the men in the crotch with the corner of
her briefcase as she walked past them defiantly. She walked through
the glass doors into the terminal without looking back and Adele
climbed back into her BMW and drove away.
To be continued
