Chapter 9
***
I woke early the next morning with her hair tickling my nose and my heart full of her and what we’d shared the night before. I laid there for the next ten minutes relishing my good luck at finding her. For the first time in my life I was looking forward to the future, to something more than just going through the motions.
I had dreams that had nothing to do with work and building my empire. Everything was about her now, about making her happy, making her dreams come true. I was happy, something that had eluded me since I was a child. The feeling was both frightening and exhilarating at once.
“Wake up.” I nuzzled her and got closer, pressing my morning wood into her ass. I rubbed my cockhead across her pussy lips until her juices and my pre-cum flowed. Taking my fingers, I used some of those juices to wet her pink rosebud before slipping the tip of my cock into her ass.
She flinched awake and I shushed her before she could start bitching at me. “I know you’re sore so I’ll take you here. I’ll be careful I promise.” I started with short little jabs into her ass until she loosened up enough to take more of my swollen cock, then I let her have it all .
“Merciful fuck look at that.” I looked down between us as my cock disappeared between the plump folds of her ass. The sight was almost more than I could stand. I had to grit my teeth from the pressure of her tight hot ass as she gripped me for all she was worth. She was so tight I couldn’t even fuck, not yet, not unless I wanted to tear her, which was a no-no. Reaching around I found her clit and teased it with my fingers, trying to get her to loosen up.
“That’s it baby relax.” The more her pussy leaked the more her ass relaxed until I was fucking in and out of her slowly. It wasn’t the same as being inside her pussy where I knew my seed would do the most good, but after last night I knew she needed at least this morning to heal from the workout I’d given her little womb .
She pulled my hand from between her thighs and led it to her tit where I squeezed while riding her ass hard and deep. She grunted, I growled and the bed rocked. Before I knew it I had her head buried in the pillow and was leaning over her back with her flat on her stomach and my cock plowing in and out of her ass. So much for taking it easy!
As she came, I pulled out and stroked my seed into the small of her back right above her ass, before dropping like a stone next to her. Fucking young pussy, I need to have my head examined.
I dragged her into the shower with me while she complained about my attack on her ass. “Babe, it wasn’t that bad and the amount of juice you left on the sheets you enjoyed it. ”
“Not the point.” She bitched and turned on the water full blast.
“I’d like to know what the fuck is then.”
I got a wet washcloth in the face for that one. Oh well. She was in a mood as I soaped up and ignored her snit. I know my little southern belle is embarrassed that she likes to be ass fucked and this is her way of playing that shit off. She’ll get over it soon enough.
By the time I rinsed off, she was still pouting and giving me the evil eye. I knew just how to sweeten her ass up though.
“Hey, we can’t start our day off like this.” I turned her back to the corner of the shower closest to the water and lifted her leg over my arm. Getting to my knees, I brought her pussy to my mouth and ate her out until she was over her shit. That ought to hold her tongue until at least the next time I go after her ass.
She was cooing and sighing by the time I got to my feet and looked down at my fully hard dick. She sniffed at me, and it and tried escaping me. “Hey come back here.” She howled with laughter as I reached for her, pulling her back under the water. “He hurts baby, you gotta take care of him.”
“Serves him right.” She looked down at my dick like he was the enemy and I helped her down to her knees while she snorted with laughter and batted at my hands. All laughter died on both our lips once she went to work on my cock, those doe eyes of hers staring into mine as she owned me.
I threw my head back and held hers in my hand as I face fucked her. It was her nails on my balls that did it again. The water was turning cold by the time I emptied my nuts onto her tongue. “Now that’s the way to start the day.” I helped her up and we took another shower and got ready for the day.

All day I smiled in fond memory of her until it was time for my meet. Nile Sorenson was a man in his seventies. My research revealed that he’d inherited his millions and the business he’d just taken public from a long line of Sorensons going back to the eighteen hundreds. He didn’t appear at all to be the type of man that would let someone like Jen get one over on him, so the reasons behind it had to be good.
He came into the office, a huge barrel of a man. Not fat by any stretch of the imagination, just well built with a shock of white hair and piercing blue eyes that stared at me right off the bat as if taking my measure.
“Thorpe.” He reached out a hand, which I took before showing him to the chair across from my desk. This wasn’t a business meeting and because of the subject matter I wanted to put the other man at ease as much as possible, so instead of my power seat behind the desk I took the chair next to his.
“Thanks for coming Mr. Sorenson, you’re a hard man to pin down.”
“I’m still not sure what I’m doing here. You didn’t say much in that cryptic phone call but I’m sure you knew that the mention of certain people would’ve got me here, so here I am. What is it that you want?”
“I think you’ve got the wrong idea. I didn’t ask you here to add to whatever that pariah did, I want answers. You see Jen tried the same tactics with me as she did with you and Henry Jonas.” I saw his shoulders relax as he eased back in his chair. “Quite frankly sir, I want information, I want as much as I can get to take her down. You see, certain things have come to light about the young lady and I want to expose her for what she is. I don’t much care to be made a fool of and she came damn close to succeeding.”
“Well!” He fixed his cuff and looked around the room. “I looked into you before coming here of course. You have a hard reputation in our circles. You’re not a tottering old fool as I and Henry were so it begs the question why she’d come after you.”
“I’ve been asking myself the same thing to no avail. I was hoping we could compare notes and see where that leads. I’m sure you’ve had her checked out after the fact, but I seem to be hitting a wall, which tells me there’s something behind that wall that she’s trying very hard to keep hidden.”
“Did you find the lover?” He asked as his mouth twisted with distaste. There was still lingering embarrassment and maybe a little pain there. It made me feel bad for him and I was once again grateful to my babygirl for saving me from his fate.
“Yeah, he wasn’t hard to find once I was led in the right direction. What I don’t know is what they’ve done with the money they’ve stolen. It doesn’t show up anywhere.”
“She had me send it to an offshore account.”
“I know but it disappeared from there without a trace.”
“I see.” He studied me with a new light in his eyes. I didn’t need to tell him that it would take some illegal maneuvering to get that kind of information, I’m sure he knew.
“Well, I got as far as finding the lover but that was it. By that point I was feeling like such a damn fool I let the whole thing drop, but I can’t say as I wouldn’t like to get some of my own back. She humiliated me. A man in my position can’t be made to look like an ass in front of his peers. I played it off but I’m sure most of them knew the truth. Almost broke me what she did. You see I was foolish enough to fall for her. By the time I realized what she was it was too late.”
He got lost in memory for a while and I let him. The whole story was written across his face and it was evident that he wasn’t quite over it yet. “I’d like to know what Jonas has to say about all this. We’ve never discussed our shared misfortune and I’m guessing he has his reasons same as I. But maybe it’s time we stopped hiding behind a wall of shame for being stupid and get to the bottom of this.
I’m not a young man and five years ago I was in a very bad place. I’d just lost my wife of almost forty years. I guess you can say I was vulnerable.” He looked at me then as if expecting me to judge him. I didn’t change my facial expression, because truth be told, I was as much a patsy as he’d been.
“She came along, a bright young woman, fresh out of college…so sweet, so poised. She showered me wi th admiration and praise, stroked my ego a bit; told me all the things I wanted to hear. But I think the thing I can’t forgive her for most of all, is the way she used my grief against me.
She played it as if she cared so much for my suffering. That was her reason for not going to bed with me straight off, out of respect for my dead wife. She spoke of my wife as if she too had suffered the loss, as if she too was feeling that emptiness. I admired her for that. For the way she let me grieve, the way she’d listen to me go on and on about my wife, not knowing that she was using it all against me.” He folded his fist and pounded it against his thigh.
“I should’ve seen it, should’ve known. A man in my position can’t afford to be that stupid. I was on the bench for twenty years before I stepped down and took over the family business. But I’d never come across anything like her. At the end it almost seemed as if she’d picked me for some reason, and to this day I still don’t know why. I did a search after the fact and our paths had never crossed…”
“May I have a drink? I find that I can’t talk about her anymore unless I’ve had something to fortify myself.” I got up and went to the little sidebar to pour him a whiskey neat. His words rang true now that I think of it it was the same with me. After the whole sordid mess had been brought to light, I did get the impression that she’d targeted me, but why?
“Thank you son, I see you’ve done your homework there as well.” He indicated the drink and smiled a whimsical smile as he accepted it and settled back in his chair. He was a lot more relaxed now than he had been when he first entered and it showed.
“Here’s to escaping that venom.” I raised my water glass to his toast. “She really is something isn’t she?” What a waste.” He shook his head and looked down at the floor. “It was the best shakedown job I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen my fair share from here to Texas. She’s about as coldhearted a being as I’ve ever seen.”
“Our last day together which happened to be our wedding day, she laid it all out for me. There was to be no real marriage. I was to pay her what she asked for her to go away quietly and not share certain things with the world. Things I’d stupidly told her when I thought she was in love with me. How stupid could you be?”
“There was no prenuptial agreement, so she had me over a barrel. She had taped conversations of very compromising statements made in the heat of the moment. Statements that if taken in the wrong light could cause lots of trouble for me with certain factions of the city. She played it well from beginning to end.”
“I had no choice but to give her what she wanted and to save face I never told a soul the truth behind our hasty wedding and annulment. Those closest to me chose to believe that it was because of my late wife that I’d come to my senses, and I let them. Yet another way she used my wife. ”
“Three months after that, she was on Henry’s arm the old fool. I tried warning him but someone sent me a very nasty letter spelling out just what would happen if I didn’t keep my mouth shut, so I backed off. Now when we see each other in public we study one another as if trying to decipher how she’d played us individually.”
I listened to his story taking it all in, looking for the whys and how’s of this thing. The one thing that kept hanging me up was the differences in me and the other two men. I was younger, didn’t have anything to hide and wasn’t easily led. It wasn’t like she was looking for the real thing because she’d ran back to her boy toy as soon as things went south between us. So what had been her game with me? I could almost believe that the other two had been a test run for me, but why? What did she want from me for fuck sake? I didn’t even know her before the day we met.
