His body only took a few thrusts before he held onto my hips tightly and I felt my body rumble with orgasm. As I screamed out in delight, Matthew released his last thrusting effort and then quickly pulled away from me. I felt the anger in his movements and was instantly sorry I had accused him of murder.
Matthew went straight to the bathroom and shut the door to take a shower. I hated that I had made him feel so awful. I didn’t think anything I could have said would hurt Matthew. He just wasn’t the kind of guy that got hurt by words, or so I thought.
I cleaned up and slid into some sweat pants and into bed to watch a movie. I was happy we had decided to stay in. At least, we could cuddle and watch an old movie and I knew soon Matthew would forgive me for the question I asked.
Matthew took a long time in the bathroom and when the door finally opened, I could tell he wasn’t planning on spending the night. He looked mad, or sad, I couldn’t tell which one it was.
He made his way back out to the living room and was putting his suit back on when I came out of the bedroom.
“You’re leaving?” I asked.
“Yes, tomorrow is a big day. I’ll see you at work,” Matthew gave me a kiss on the forehead and then grabbed his things and left.
I stood in total shock as he closed the door. That was not the reaction I had expected from him at all. His feelings had been hurt, that was for sure, but I thought we could have talked about it. I hated that he had just left angry without talking and letting things get smoothed over.
I would have been up all night thinking about him and what I had said, but I was exhausted from staying up the previous night. After Matthew left, I turned the lights off and slid into bed. I was too tired to process what had just happened. I needed sleep.
When my alarm went off in the morning, I felt less rested than I had hoped for. My body was sore and tired. I flipped the television on to catch up on the local news and see if there were any stories about Senator Masson. It was going to be juicy when Matthew’s secret information got released to the press. I couldn’t wait to see what dirt he had found on Masson.
But as I stared at the news scroll I realized there was much more dirt on Senator Masson than I could have ever imagined. The breaking news story was that Senator George Masson was with the Vice President the night he was murdered.
The newscaster didn’t want to speculate if George Masson was going to be charged with murder and did report that he was just a person of interest. It was huge. The fact that George Masson had been with the Vice President but hadn’t come forward and said he was there, that showed the world that he was not trustworthy at all. But more than that, I had to wonder if Masson had been involved in the murder. Surely he would have come forward and said he was there with the Vice President when everyone was looking for him.
I watched the news diligently as I got ready for work. There were all kinds of stories going around that talked about the brothel the men had been at, the scene where the Vice President had been murdered. The speculation seemed to look more at why Masson hadn’t come forward with the information earlier, but not too many news outlets actually accused Masson of being involved in the murder. Most of them left it at the two men were at the brothel together and then Masson returned to Washington D.C. and the Vice President did not.
I knew something was going to come out that would make it impossible for Masson to become the Vice President, but I didn’t think murder would be part of it. I had to think that Matthew was going to keep that part of things quiet until I told him how George Masson had treated me in the elevator.
There was a knock at more door that scared me to death. I wasn’t expecting anyone, so I was surprised when I looked out the peep hole and saw Matthew standing there.
“Hey, what’s up?” I asked as I opened the door.
“Grab your things,” he said as he pointed to his watch. “We need to go somewhere right now.”
Something was odd about Matthew. He wasn’t looking me in the eyes and I didn’t like that at all.
“I’m sorry for what I said last night,” I said as I grabbed my purse and followed him down the hallway.
Matthew didn’t respond. We rode the elevator in silence down to the lobby and I followed him to the SUV waiting out front.
“Raymond, I’m going to drive us. Do you mind?” Matthew said as he went around to the driver’s side door and opened it for Raymond to get out.
“Sure thing boss,” he said as he looked at me and shrugged his shoulders.
I got into the passenger side and looked out at Raymond as we drove away. It was clear Raymond had no idea what was going on either.
We continued to sit in silence as Matthew drove us out of town. It was really easy to get out of town in the morning because all the traffic was coming into town. I wanted to ask Matthew where we were going, but decided to just wait. He didn’t seem like he was in the mood for questions.
We drove about ten miles north of the city and then Matthew got off the interstate and followed a county road out into a residential neighborhood. It didn’t look like the kind of place Matthew would normal hang out, but again I didn’t question him.
He continued to drive down a road that turned from pavement into gravel and I got my first sense of uneasiness. There was no explanation I could think of that we would need to be that far out in the country. There was no one around. I couldn’t see any houses and I couldn’t see any other cars.
We continued down the gravel road until we got to another road that turned into some trees. The wooded road made my heart start to pound. Suddenly I questioned everything that had happened between Matthew and I.
I felt like I was in a scene from a movie and I was being taken to an isolated location to be murdered. I had believed Matthew when he said he wasn’t involved in the Vice President’s murder, I had believed him up until the very moment he turned down the wooded road.
“What are we doing Matthew?” I finally asked nervously.
