Beverly had asked Bruce to take her back to New York, tonight. He couldn’t refuse her – not now. He had called the Hudson pilot on his cell as he drove back to the hotel once he had reception again.Several hours later they were on the Hudson jet, flying back to New York. Beverly hadn’t said a word since they had left the Davises’.  Her silence was starting to worry him. She had only taken a few bits of her meal on the jet.By the time they had gotten back to New York and her apartment it was after midnight. They had taken a cab from the airport because Bruce hadn’t wanted to waste time trying to arrange for a limo or a driver at the airport. He had to get Beverly home – where she would be comfortable.Bruce carried their suitcases inside as Beverly dropped her keys on the coffee table. The keys thumped on the table like they weighed a ton. She sat down on the sofa – quiet and poised. Bruce sat their suitcases down

            Beverly’s eyes opened. She had fallen asleep on top of Bruce who was calling the hogs. She looked over at the clock on her nightstand. The hands read four-o-nine. It was still dark outside.She carefully rolled off Bruce. She didn’t want to wake him. Beverly got to the end of the bed and began to stand. Her thighs wobbled when she put all her weight on her feet. She caught herself on the bed before she fell.Damn. Then again, I had the best sex in my life over an hour ago. Beverly made her way to the bathroom, holding onto what she could on the way. She made it to the toilet. As she peed, she thought about taking a nice shower. It depended on if she could stand on her feet without holding onto anything. After relieving herself, she stood up carefully. Her thighs no longer shook, but they were a little sore – along with her pussy.She figured a hot shower would s

            Wednesday morning . . .             Eddie Balsom was escorted by a court bailiff to his attorneys, Jackson and Dax Milton who were standing at the defense table waiting for him.            The bailiff removed Eddie’s handcuffs and walked away. Eddie was wearing a brand new three piece suit complements of his billionaire benefactor. Dax had measured him for a suit last week during their lawyer-client visit. At that time, the hearing was scheduled three months from now. Somehow the Milton father and son team had gotten the hearing moved up.Eddie sported a blue suit, a white dress shirt, matching tie, and Italian leather. The last time he wore a suit was when he was convicted – and what he wore didn’t feel like silk on his skin.When he had b

            Grayson had fixed Beverly two grilled cheese sandwiches and Isaiah had pumped coffee and water into her. It had actually helped. Grayson had ordered her to take a week off to get over whatever it was that had put her in a drunken state and to attend to her father’s affairs.            Beverly had jumped in the shower as soon as they had left. She had put on a pair of black slacks and a sky blue short sleeved blouse and a pair of black flats. Beverly wanted the clerks at the courthouse to take her seriously. She went easy on the make-up and pulled her hair back in a clip where her hair rested down her back.            She got the idea to call Jackson Milton. Bruce had said he got Jackson and one of his sons to work on her father’s case. She was about to pick up her cell when the doo

            Selena and Joanna rode in the back of the Hudson limo. They had just left Catherine’s bridesmaids’ luncheon. It had been at the New York Country Club. The food had been good and Catherine had given out the bridesmaids’ gifts.            Selena had received a silver antique mirror hand mirror. Joanna had received a custom made compact with her initials engraved on it.            The luncheon had ended an hour early when a freak fire had erupted in the kitchen. No one was hurt, but everyone had to evacuate and no one was allowed back in per the fire marshal.            “Selena, do you think the fire in the kitchen was some sort of a sign?” Joanna asked.       &n
