As soon as I got off the elevator I made my way to her office and opened the door. There was a receptionist waiting and she smiled as I entered.
“Well hello there.”
“I'm here to see Gloria.”
She smiled again and looked at her appointment calendar. “Do you have an appointment?”
“I do not.”
“Oh well then I'm sorry. Gloria is very busy and she has a full day.”
“Sorry but that's not good enough.”
I walked past her quickly and looked around for some kind of nameplate for Gloria. The receptionist called out behind me and made my way to the office door. Without knocking, I walked into Gloria's office. She looked up in surprise as she sat at her desk.
The receptionist was right behind me. “Gloria, I am so sorry. I told her she couldn't come in. She just barged right past me.”
“That's okay Edith, it's not a problem. You can give us a few minutes.”
Edith glared at me before she retreated closing the door behind her.
“Well it's nice to see you Gemma, although that was a little rude don't you think?”
“Not at all, especially after what happened to Jared today.”
“Oh? And what was that?”
“Don't play dumb with me Gloria. I was at my brother’s home when the police showed up. What is wrong with you? Link and I are trying to end this amicably. We don't want a war and arresting Jared is unnecessary. If you have proof against him I guarantee you that he will fold. Why are you doing this?”
Gloria stood up and smirked; she looked far too smug for her own good.
“I'm doing this because Link deserves the best. It is appalling that you are dating him while your own brother is trying to sabotage his business. For all I know you two could be in on it together, you’re trying to take him down emotionally while Jared ruins him professionally. What does that say about the kind of people you are?”
“Excuse me?” I stammered.
“It's true and you know it. I'm fighting for Link here. His name and business has been tarnished because of your brother. Doesn't that bother you at all? Instead you’re here fighting for your brother instead of fighting for Link. It’s easy to see where your priorities lie.”
I was speechless. She had it all wrong. I adored Link and cared for him deeply. I just didn't want my brother going to jail. It was my job to protect my family and I didn't see why the problem couldn't go away quietly instead of turning into an all-out war.
“That's not fair and you know it.”
“I don't care about fair Gemma, I care about Link. He has been unfairly treated here and I intend on getting justice for him whether you like it or not.”
“Why can't you just drop the charges and let Jared and Link work it out together? Like I said, my brother will back down if he knows he's backed into a corner.”
Gloria shook her head, “You are pathetic Gemma, look at the kind of man you are defending. He was probably high on coke when they showed up. He probably doesn't even know what he's being arrested for. It's disgusting.”
I had never wanted to slap a woman more in my life. It took all my willpower to not strike her as hard as I could. My luck I would be up for charges as well. “You are a real piece of work aren't you?”
Gloria just smiled and said, “Your brother will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, even the drug possession. I sent the police to Jared's house because I knew that he was swimming in a lake of drugs over there. All that drug paraphernalia lying around will be great for the new drug charge. It's just the cherry on top of his new criminal record. Let’s see how his business holds up after that all comes out.”
Horrified and angry, I hissed, “It doesn't matter what you do Gloria, you will never get Link back.” I turned and stormed out of her office, slamming the door behind me.
Chapter Two
I headed straight home, walked past my doorman without a word and went up to my condo. Anger, hatred, fear, loneliness, hopelessness…all these emotions ran through me, leaving me practically paralyzed. All I wanted to do was flop on my bed and cry the day away. Unfortunately my work was not done. I was so angry that wanted to punch something, anything. Once I got in my apartment I started pacing the room like a hungry puma. I didn't know what to do or how to handle the situation but I knew one thing was for sure; Gloria had to go. There was no way that I was continuing a relationship with Link with her in the background doing her best to ruin everything for me. She was a monster that had no soul. I couldn't even fathom what she was doing to my brother and it was all to save Link. Don't get me wrong, I wanted to help Link as much as I possibly could but I didn't think that Jared's life had to be ruined over a recipe. Granted, my brother had behaved on a whole new level of stupid but I still didn't think the punishment fit the crime.
I headed to the kitchen where I found a bottle of wine. I planned on drinking the entire thing if I could manage it. I needed to find a way to relax and get my blood pressure down. I considered taking a bubble bath but I knew that I needed to talk to Link first. The bubble bath would just have to wait.
I poured myself a glass of wine and went out onto my balcony. It was a beautiful day with a warm breeze, the kind of day you should have when nothing goes wrong. I sat down in my lounger and made a call to Link. He picked up right away.
“Hey baby, how are you doing? I miss you.”
The water works began immediately and I started blubbering into the phone.
“Gemma, what's wrong? What's going on?”
“How do you not know what's going on? Everything is a mess right now and it's all Gloria's fault.”
“Oh god, I guess you heard about the arrest.”
“Heard about it? I was right there. He was arrested right in front of me. They threw him on the floor and handcuffed him because he resisted arrest. It was awful. I just feel so lost right now. I don't know what to do.”
“Oh shit, I'm sorry Gemma. I didn't know you were going to be there.”
“I went to see Gloria and she's insane Link, completely insane. She doesn't care about anyone but herself and I don't like how much she cares about you.”
There was a brief silence on the other end of the line.
“Gemma, I'll be right over.”
It didn't take him long to get there and when he came through the door he grabbed me and wrapped me in his arms.
“Gemma, I'm sorry.”
I started sobbing. I needed to release all the frustration and tension in my body.
“Why didn't you tell me that you guys were engaged?” I asked him through my tears. “You're not just friends, and I think she is still in love with you!”
“I know, I should have told you but I didn't want you to feel weird. Yes, we were engaged but I realized that I didn't want to spend the rest of my life with her. She wasn't the one for me. I broke things off; that's why you should be okay with us being friends. I didn't want her to be that person in my life. I didn't then and I don't now. I can't say how she feels. I think she was devastated by the breakup, but then she wanted to remain friends and I wanted that too. There is absolutely nothing for you to worry about. I am sorry that I didn't tell you though; you should have found out from me.”
“Link, this isn’t really about your engagement. She's trying to destroy my brother and maybe he deserves it but I just can't accept that! She's doing it all in your honor and I almost went crazy when I was over there. She's doing this for all the wrong reasons; she thinks it will make you go back to her.”
“Well I assure you that won't happen,” he said as he kissed me on the tip of the nose. “I'm very happy with you in case you haven't noticed.”
I smiled, but didn’t let him change the subject so easily. “She's insane!”
He laughed, “Yeah, Gloria has the way about her. She's just on a power trip right now. She's always been sort of power hungry, which is why she is such a good lawyer. I promise you that I'm not going to do anything to hurt you. I do
have to protect myself though, and your brother has been ruthless and my business has suffered because of it.”
“I know. I'm so sorry Link. I don't understand any of it. I don't know why he's doing this. I don't even recognize him anymore, but that doesn’t mean I can just stand by and let him go to jail.”
“I promise I will drop the charges as long as Jared does the right thing and comes clean. I don't need to press charges but I do need this nonsense to end because I have a business to run and a reputation to rectify.”
I nodded, “I understand and that seems fair.”
“I love you Gemma.”
I smiled up and him and kissed him on the lips. “I love you too Link, so much.”
We started kissing again and the passion and emotions between us began to build up. When we started kissing, it began slowly, with no rush. Our kisses grew more passionate and the next thing I knew we were full on making out. He had one hand in my hair and the other was fondling my breast.
The moment our lips touched my mind exploded, it was like the fourth of July all around us and we were amidst a fireworks display. I had been longing for him all day long; he made my body hum and for the first time all day my mind was opening up to some incredible feelings.
He held me tightly against him and I nuzzled into the skin of his neck. My body was alive against his and I ached the closer we got. A moan escaped me and it was the greatest sound in the world. I was so thrilled to have him alone with me finally. I kissed him deeply, which caused him to respond with fire in his eyes. I released his lips and stared at him, my gaze hot and full of longing. I was feeling very powerful myself. I needed him and I planned on taking whatever I wanted from him.
“Tonight my beautiful Gemma you are all mine.”
All I could see in his eyes was desire. I was becoming lost in his beautiful face and I did not want to deny him anything. I nodded in agreement.
“I want you so badly. How do you want it?”
“Any way that you want it baby.”
I kissed his mouth deeply, feeling myself grow wet. I felt the front of his pants and knew that he was also ready for me. I grabbed him by the hand and led him to my bedroom. Once there I turned around.
He cupped my jaw and put his lips to mine with a softness that I didn't even know he was capable of. I moaned and parted my lips slightly as I pushed my body against his. I wanted to put my hands all over him. I needed to put my hands on his body. I was trembling when I grabbed his face and kissed him harder. I kissed him so slowly and deeply that I felt like I was losing control of myself. Kissing Link was addictive. He took complete control of my mouth and tasted every inch of it. Sucking, nipping, tasting and I could tell by the look on his face that he too was losing the ability to concentrate.
I was consumed by lust and needed to touch him everywhere. My lips were becoming red and swollen from the kisses. He picked me up and carried me to the bed, slamming the door behind him. He laid me down on the bed and just admired me for a moment. I was dying from my need for him. I sat up quickly and started undoing his pants as he stood before me. I was taking charge of that moment. I wanted to see Link's cock desperately. I pulled the zipper of his jeans down and slid down his pants and then I did the same to his underwear. His cock stood hard before me and I took it in my mouth, causing him to intake air suddenly. I sucked him slowly, taking all of his cock into my mouth.
“Baby you're making me dizzy.”
I pulled his cock out of my mouth even though I loved the taste of it. I quickly pulled off my shirt and slid off my jeans, panties along with it. He gasped in surprise as he looked at my breasts rise and fall before him. He bent down to me and found my mouth once again. A moan escaped my lips as he consumed me. My kisses travelled down his neck and back up to his mouth. My hands were in his hair, holding him in place while I kissed him.
His hands were on my breasts and he cupped one of them, bringing it to his mouth to suck. His tongue twirled around my nipple, making it harden instantly. The ache in my body throbbed harder when he tasted me. He sucked me and teased me while I cried out from the pleasure of it all.
He put his hand between my legs and cupped me. He rubbed me with the heel of his palm, slowly moving his finger along the moist folds of my opening. I was shaking underneath his fingers. He stopped kissing me as he watched his hand make magic on my body. He smiled as I shook underneath him.
“Tell me that this is for me.”
I nodded gasping. “It's for you baby.”
I wrapped my legs around him and his cock grazed my opening. He pinned my wrists above my head, locking them tightly in one hand. His fingers entered me and I gasped.
“Do you want me inside you?”
I grinned. “Yes, please.”
He was such a handsome man, so much more in that moment than at any other time I had seen him. How had I become so lucky? He looked at me longingly and I knew I had never seen a sexier man in all my life.
“Please Link, I need you.”
The next thing I knew he was inside me. He filled me up slowly, carefully drawing out the pleasure excruciatingly slowly. He fit so snugly inside me. A moan escaped me as he filled me completely with his size. I felt incredible. I didn't want to be anywhere else. He grabbed my breasts and cupped them gently as he bent down to claim my mouth once again.
He rocked inside me as I walked a fine line between delirium and sanity. He sucked on my nipples as I clenched myself around his cock, an orgasm building up inside me. I shuddered as he moved his hips against mine. My eyes were rolling in the back of my head as waves of pleasure marked my face. I exploded around him and my whole body shook with the orgasm. He followed quickly after, unable to hold back. I clutched his hard body as I continued to orgasm. I licked his chest and bit into his shoulder. He growled in satisfaction as he continued to rock inside me even though our orgasms had stopped. I relaxed and attempted to catch my breath.
He grabbed my ass and was still hard inside of me. He began rocking inside me again faster that time as he took me for the second time. I gasped as he plunged in hard and fast and my gasps turned to moans as my body prepared for another earth shattering orgasm. It was my turn to get rough with him. I rolled out from under him and pushed him back down on the bed. I mounted him, straddling myself above his cock.
“I'm going to fuck your cock so good Link.”
He looked pleasantly surprised when he said, “Please do beautiful.”
I positioned myself so I was facing him and I bent down to kiss him deeply while I slid his cock inside me.
We both moaned loudly together, god he just felt so good. I was aching inside with want of him. I couldn't have been hornier; all I wanted to do was be filled up by him. I rode his cock feeling the delicious sensations spread all over my body. I started to ride him hard, the pleasure surrounding me completely. I bent down and bit into his shoulder and heard him growl.
“Oh baby, I can feel you hugging my cock. Baby, it's so good.”
As I pushed onto him a little more, I tried to relax and allow it to happen. My orgasm was building up and I knew that it was going to be a big one. He certainly felt huge when he was going in on that end. I felt full with him inside me, but I loved every moment of it. He then began to move his hips and meet my thrusts onto his cock. He was trying to allow me to get used to more inside of me. I moaned as he picked up the pace, his smooth cock gliding inside and out.
“Are you okay baby?”
“I'm better than okay,” I whispered.
“I don't know what's gotten into you but I like it.”
I giggled, “I like it too.”
Riding on him, he felt humongous inside me. He rocked into me slowly, continuing to meet my thrusts. I started rocking into him faster, letting the waves of pleasure crash into me repeatedly.
“Oh god,” I moaned.
He started playing with my pussy. He rubbed against my moist clit, giving me some added pleasure while he moved his cock in and out.
�
�Baby, you feel so good riding me.”
I thought I would lose my mind. I loved how sexy he made me feel as I rode his cock above him. The whole length of his cock slowly pushed inside me causing me to let out a slow and powerful moan. There were so many different feelings and sensations going through my body at that moment. I was lost in a sea of pleasure and I wanted another orgasm.
“Baby your cock feels so good.”
He smiled and he started pumping me as I thrust onto him. I was delirious with the pleasure he was giving me. I needed it. He felt so incredible. What I didn't expect was for my pussy to become so wet. I was dripping wet and I felt a build-up once again. I couldn't believe I was about to cum again. God, the thought was just too delicious.
“Link, it feels good, I'm going to cum.”
“I know baby. It's amazing isn't it?”
“Yes,” I gasped, “I'm coming again.”
My whole body shuddered as I came onto his cock. He continued pumping inside of me breaking all reason inside my mind. He was glorious; all of it was so incredible. As I felt myself build up for another orgasm, the shudders ripped through my body causing me to scream his name. He spilled inside of me and collapsed. I rolled off of him and he pulled me close to him wrapping his arms around me. It wasn't long before I fell asleep in his arms.
Chapter Three
After our intense lovemaking session, Link and I headed to the police station. I needed to see Jared and hopefully get through to him. If I could reason with him then there was a great chance all of the nightmares could finally go away. That was all I wanted for both Link and me, for us to be able to go back to a normal life. I wanted this nightmare drama to disappear.
We arrived at the police station and spoke to an officer. We were told that Jared was in the process of being booked. Link informed the officer that he was considering dropping the charges on Jared but would like to speak with him first. The booking ceased for the time being. We were led back to the holding cells and it just about broke my heart to see Jared behind bars. How had it gotten to that point?
