As it turned out, traffic was unusually light, and Nicholas was able to make it back to their apartment in North East Philly in less than forty five minutes. When he entered the apartment, he placed his briefcase, phone, and keys on the table in the foyer, and then went into the living room where he was greeted by the sight of Jessica sitting on the couch, still wearing her sexy blue leather outfit, black stockings, and high heels, while she sipped a glass of wine. Nicholas’s eyes were also drawn to the coffee table in front of the couch, where he could see that Jessica had placed a number of items, the nature of which, told him that his sexy wife had more plans in store for him than just pleasuring her.
Nicholas went over to the couch, and gave Jessica a long passionate kiss, and then she said “I bet my lawyer husband could use a drink after his long day in court”.
Nicholas nodded, and said “Boy, you have that right. Let me run into the kitchen and make a drink. I’ll be right back”.
As he turned to head into the kitchen, Jessica stopped him, by saying “No, not so fast! Before you get yourself a drink, I need you to strip down to your panties and pantyhose”. Then she reached under the coffee table, and picked up the pair of black open toe pumps with stiletto heels which Nicholas had worn to Alisha’s Fourth of July party, handed them to him, and said “I would like you to wear these in addition to your panties and pantyhose. Then you can go make yourself a drink”.
As Nicholas removed his clothes right there in the living room, he thought to himself that it was bad enough that Jessica was going to make him prance around the house wearing only his panties and pantyhose, but Nicholas really wasn’t thrilled at all about having to wear the shoes, and trying to maintain his balance in five inch heels.
There was no way however, that Nicholas was going to protest at all about what Jessica told him to do, especially since he wanted a release from his chastity tube so badly, and he was in dire need of an orgasm. Nicholas knew that he couldn’t take any chances at all of upsetting Jessica, since she had made it crystal clear that he needed to be on his best behavior if he wanted her to even consider giving him a release soon.
Nicholas sat down on the chair facing Jessica, slipped the high heel pumps onto his nylon clad feet, buckled up the straps, and then carefully stood up. He hadn’t worn the shoes since the party at Alisha’s house, so Nicholas made sure that he took small steps as he headed into the kitchen to make himself a drink. After he made himself a Manhattan, Nicholas took a few sips, and then he returned to the living room, walking even slower than before, and taking even smaller steps so that he would not spill his drink.
As he set his drink down on the table in front of the couch, Jessica said “You look very nice in your panties, pantyhose, and heels my slave. I do see however, that the polish on your toenails needs to be freshened up a bit. Make sure that you take care of that this coming weekend! Now, come over here, and kneel down in front of me”.
When Nicholas knelt down in front of Jessica, she picked up a leather collar from the table, which had studs on it, and had the words “Jessica’s Slave” embossed on the front of the collar. Jessica buckled it around Nicholas’s neck, and then she said “I had Heather special order this collar for me. I love how it looks. I will expect you to put it on every day when you come home, and you will wear it whenever you do not have to go to work. Do you understand?”
Nicholas nodded his head, and said “Yes Mistress. I understand, and thank you for the special collar”.
Jessica smiled, and said “You are quite welcomed”. Then pushing Nicholas’s head down towards the floor, Jessica said “You can show me how thankful you are by first worshipping my shoes!”
Nicholas didn’t hesitate. He quickly brought his mouth down to the tip of her right blue high heel pump and he began kissing and licking it affectionately. He ran his tongue all over the top and sides of the shoe, and then, when Jessica lifted her foot, Nicholas took the four inch heel into his mouth, and began sucking on it. When he had worshipped the heel to Jessica’s satisfaction, she said “You can now lick the sole of my shoe, and make sure that you remove any dirt which is on it”.
Nicholas hesitated for a second, since while he loved worshipping Jessica’s shoes and boots, and loved sucking on her heels, she had never made him clean the soles on any of her shoes before. Jessica quickly sensed Nicholas’s hesitation, and said “Is there a problem slave?”
Nicholas didn’t want to do anything that Jessica might interpret as disobedience, so he shook his head, and said “No Mistress. Not at all”, and he began licking the sole of Jessica’s right shoe. As he ran his tongue over the sole of her shoe, he could feel the grit and the grime which Jessica had picked up on her shoe from walking on the city streets earlier in the day. As he licked the sole of her shoe, Nicholas realized that he had no option other than to swallow the dirt which his tongue removed from the bottom of Jessica’s shoe.
When Jessica felt that Nicholas had done an adequate job cleaning her right shoe, she crossed her legs, and told him to worship her left high heel pump. Just as he did on the other shoe, Nicholas first licked and kissed the top and sides of Jessica’s shoe, then he sucked on the high heel, and finally he cleaned the sole of the shoe with his tongue, once again swallowing any dirt which he licked from the bottom of her pump.
Pleased with the job that Nicholas had done, Jessica picked up his drink off of the coffee table, handed it to him, and said “Here you are my dear slave. You can wash that dirt down with some liquor. From now on, make sure that you don’t neglect the soles of my shoes and boots when you worship them with your mouth. I want to make sure that my shoes and boots are always perfectly cleaned before I put them away in my closet. Do you understand?”
Nicholas nodded, and said “Yes Mistress. I understand how you want me to clean your shoes and boots from now on”. Then as he set his glass back down on the table, Nicholas said “Thank you Mistress for the drink. I appreciate it”.
Jessica laughed, and said “Oh, you are quite welcomed. I am pretty sure that the soles of my new shoes got pretty dirty walking in Center City today, and you probably needed that drink!”
Jessica then stood up for a moment, slid her panties down over her legs, and kicked them onto the floor. When she sat back down on the couch, she spread her beautiful nylon clad legs, and said “Ok slave, now I need you to give me some real pleasure with that mouth and tongue of yours!”
Nicholas didn’t hesitate for a minute. He immediately placed his head between Jessica’s legs and began licking her clit with his tongue. He always cherished the opportunity to worship Jessica’s pussy, and it wasn’t long at all before Jessica was squirming on the couch and moaning as Nicholas sucked on her clit, while he pushed his tongue in and out of her pussy.
Nicholas began to feel the cage of the chastity tube locked on his cock get very tight and extremely uncomfortable as he got more and more excited pleasuring his beautiful wife. The only thought that kept going through Nicholas’s mind as he knelt there licking Jessica’s clit, and worshipping her pussy, was that maybe, just maybe, if he did give her a really great orgasm, then she might decide to unlock his chastity tube, and allow him to also have a release.
It only took a few minutes before Jessica grabbed his head, and pulled it up against her body tightly, while at the same time, she locked her thighs around Nicholas’s neck, and dug her heels into his back. Nicholas was almost suffocating and gasping for air, but he knew better than to even think about slowing down, as Jessica soon reached the pinnacle of an explosive orgasm, and she cried out loudly.
When the waves of the orgasm finally subsided, Jessica opened her thighs, and released her hold on Nicholas’s head, allowing him to breathe, while she regained her composure. Then, with a big smile, Jessica said “Thank you very much slave. That was a wonderful orgasm, and I am sure that I will sleep very well tonight”.
Any hopes that Nicholas had of getting a release from his chastity tube soon vanished when Jessica stood up, gave him a
kiss, and said “I am going to bed now Nicholas. When you come to bed, you don’t need to wear anything other than your chastity tube. Sweet dreams my dear slave, and good luck in court tomorrow!”
Nicholas sat there on the floor of the living room for a while until he finished his drink, then he shut off all of the lights and went into the bathroom to get ready for bed. Unfortunately for him, when he did climb into bed next to Jessica, who had decided to sleep naked, he laid there for the longest time, totally frustrated, and unable to sleep. He tried thinking about anything other than sex, and how horny he was, hoping that his cock would stop trying to get hard in the chastity tube. Eventually, he finally drifted off to sleep, knowing that he had another big day in court awaiting him on Wednesday.
Wednesday in Judge William Goldberg’s court room at the US District Court of Philadelphia turned out to be a rather dramatic day according to all of the observers and media who watched the proceedings. As planned, Nicholas called actual customers of both Top Apparel, Inc. and Top Apparel Outlet to the stand, and as he interviewed them, Nicholas painted a very effective picture for the jurors showing just how confused the consumers were when making a clothing purchase on line. Many of the customers who testified, said that they had thought that they were ordering from Top Apparel, Inc., only to find out later that they actually made a purchase from Top Apparel Outlet.
The testimony which was the most damaging to Top Apparel Outlet came after the lunch break from two women who had been loyal customers of Top Apparel, Inc. for many years. They both told how in the past year, when they wanted to make a purchase, they had just gone to Google, and typed “Top Apparel” into the search bar. Both women admitted that they just assumed that the website they were directed to was Top Apparel, Inc.’s website, and they made purchases based on their prior dealings with the company where they had found the delivery service to be speedy, and the quality of the merchandise to be excellent.
However, after both women received the clothing which they ordered on line, they immediately noticed that something was different right away. The labels on the clothing showed that it was manufactured in Taiwan, whereas in the past, the labels on all of the merchandise they had purchased from Top Apparel, Inc. had always said “Proudly made in the USA”. Both women also testified that they were very disappointed with the quality and feel of the blouses and dresses which they purchased because the material was inferior and did not maintain its appearance at all after a few launderings.
Both women were so disappointed with the purchases which they had made, that they actually called Top Apparel, Inc. to complain, only to find out that they, in fact had not purchased their clothing from Top Apparel, Inc., but had bought it from Top Apparel Outlet.
Nicholas called one more witness to the stand before the end of the day, and the testimony of that witness clearly demonstrated that Top Apparel Outlet intentionally tried to make consumers visiting their website think that they were, in fact, ordering from Top Apparel, Inc.
The witness, Joseph Blake was a business website designer from Philadelphia, who three years earlier had helped Top Apparel, Inc. design their website and improve their SEO options. He testified that about eighteen months later, he was then contacted by Silvia Clooney, who was a marketing manager for Top Apparel Outlet from New Jersey, and she wanted him to provide the same type of website design service.
Blake met with Silvia Clooney at that time, and he was very surprised when she told him that she wanted him to create a website which was basically a carbon copy of the website which he had created for Top Apparel, Inc. Clooney told Joseph Blake that she wanted the same color scheme and layout as he had utilized for the website which he had created for Top Apparel, Inc.
Blake told her that he couldn’t do that for her company, but that he could design a website with a totally different color scheme and theme for Top Apparel Outlet, which would effectively convey the company’s message, and present their products to their on-line consumers in the most effective manner. Clooney was not happy to hear that, and she ended the meeting, telling Blake that she would be back in touch with him if her company had any interest in using his services. He testified that he never heard back again from anyone at Top Apparel Outlet.
Nicholas then showed Joseph Blake pages taken from the website owned by Top Apparel, Inc., and had Blake verify that those were in fact the pages which he had designed for the company. Nicholas then showed Blake pages taken from the website operated by Top Apparel Outlet, and asked him to compare those pages with the ones that he had designed for Top Apparel, Inc.
After carefully studying all of the pages in front of him, Joseph Blake stated that except for the word “Outlet” which was shaded, so that it did not stand out prominently on the second website, the two websites were identical in his opinion.
When Nicholas then asked Joseph Blake if he felt that Top Apparel Outlet’s website would cause a “Likelihood of Confusion” on the part of consumers visiting the site, Blake said that he definitely felt that consumers would be confused about who they were buying from.
The defendant’s attorney, Robert Thompson tried unsuccessfully to have Joseph Blake’s testimony thrown out on the grounds that Joseph Blake was not qualified to testify as an expert witness on “the likelihood of confusion” as defined in the Lanham Act, but Judge Goldberg allowed the testimony to stand based on the fact that Joseph Blake had demonstrated his experience and competency to the court as far as website design was concerned.
When the judge recessed the trial at the end of the day, Jennifer Webster was smiling from ear to ear. She actually gave Nicholas a hug, and told him that he had done a wonderful job tightening the noose around the neck of Top Apparel Outlet.
Nicholas was extremely happy with how well the first three days of the trial had gone, and he was feeling very confident that he would prevail, but even he was totally surprised when his cell phone rang as he was driving home from the court house on Wednesday. When he answered the phone, Jennifer Webster said “You need to head up to our office right now. I just got a call from the defendant’s attorney. Top Apparel Outlet wants to settle!”
Nicholas couldn’t believe his ears, but he told Jennifer Webster that he would make a u turn, and head back to Center City right away. Nicholas called Jessica to let her know what was going on, and that he had no idea as to what time he would be home. As he parked his car in the parking lot, and went up to his office, he was very excited, but at the same time, he was nervous about the negotiations which he knew would soon be taking place.
By 7 pm, the principals of both Top Apparel, Inc. and Top Apparel Outlet, arrived at the offices of Doney & Williams, and they met for the next hour in separate conference rooms with their attorneys. Nicholas and Jennifer Webster, along with Alisha Doney met with Michael Grossman, the CEO of Top Apparel, Inc., and he informed them that he would be glad to settle for $2 million.
Alisha explained to Grossman that since Top Apparel Outlet had only been in business for a little over a year, that number might be excessive, and it was probably more than what a jury would award him if the verdict came back in his favor. Alisha agreed however, that Nicholas would put the $2 million offer on the table to start things off.
Sure enough, when all the parties met in the large conference room, and Nicholas gave the $2 million figure to Anthony Richardson, the CEO of Top Apparel Outlet, Richardson sighed, and quickly made it clear that there was no way that he could pay that kind of money. Shaking his head, Richardson said “That amount would force me to file bankruptcy. I’d be better off taking my chances with the jury!”
Nicholas responded by saying “When you made the decision today that you wanted to try and settle this case, you must have had a figure in mind. How much were you planning on offering my client?”
It was obvious that Richardson was very uncomfortable with the question, but after a long pause, he finally said “The most that our company can afford is $500,000”.
The minute that Michael
Grossman heard that number, he stood up, expressed his displeasure and said “I guess coming up here for this meeting was a waste of my time”.
Nicholas immediately stood up also, looked at Anthony Richardson, and said “Will you please excuse us for a few minutes while I talk in private with my client?”
Nicholas, along with Jennifer and Alisha, asked Michael Grossman to join them back in the smaller conference room. When they were all seated at the table, Nicholas calmed Grossman down, and told him that it was his suggestion that they should go back into the meeting, and tell Anthony Richardson that the lowest number they could accept was $1 million, and that if Top Apparel Outlet could not agree to that number, than the jury trial would have to proceed.
Alisha Doney and Jennifer Webster both seconded Nicholas’s suggestion, and Alisha explained to Grossman that it would be great if Richardson would agree to the $1 million figure because there was no way to predict how much in damages the jury would award if Top Apparel, Inc. would win the case. She also told Grossman that she felt that Anthony Richardson may have been seriously thinking about filing bankruptcy from the comments he had made in the other conference room.
Michael Grossman finally gave Nicholas the green light on making the $1 million final offer, and everyone then went back into the large conference room. As it turned out, Nicholas’s suggestion was right on the money (no pun intended). After putting up resistance at first, Anthony Richardson agreed to pay Top Apparel, Inc. $1 million in damages, and he agreed to take down the current Top Apparel Outlet website immediately. He also agreed to submit any future websites to Top Apparel, Inc. for approval before publishing them live on the internet.
Within forty five minutes after reaching the agreement, Nicholas had already dictated the documents to a para-legal in the office, reviewed the printed documents, and had presented them to Anthony Richardson and his attorneys for signature. By 10 pm, all involved parties left the offices of Doney & Williams carrying executed copies of the settlement agreement. The only thing left to do was for Nicholas and Robert Thompson to be back in court on Thursday morning, and to inform Judge Goldberg that there was no need for the trial to continue. They would give the judge copies of the agreement which was signed by the CEO’s of Top Apparel, Inc. and Top Apparel Outlet, and Judge Goldberg would then adjourn the trial and dismiss the jurors.
