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?
“You guys can talk through the bars, we'll be outside the door,” the officer said before leaving.
Link and I stood there awkwardly before Jared. He looked a little rough around the edges; he had been through a lot that day. I could tell that he was sobering up. I was grateful, as it would have been difficult to try to reason with him while he was high on coke. I needed Jared to be as sober as possible or we would be right back where we started and I didn't want that. He needed to listen to reason and hopefully we could all be done with this.
“Jared, I hate seeing you like this. Are you alright?”
“Yeah I'm okay, I just feel like shit. My wrists are raw from the handcuffs and I have one hell of a headache.”
“Yeah I bet.”
“Thanks for being there today, even though it must have been hard for you.”
“Jared, I love you but I don't understand what's been going on lately. I can't help you if you don't let me in.”
“I'm sorry.... fuck...it's just so messed up. I'm sorry. I don't even know what to say right now.”
“Jared this has to end...today. Or things are going to get much worse for you. You could lose everything.”
He looked up at Link with glazed eyes. He looked completely burnt out, and my heart ached for him.
“I'm sorry man, I've always been jealous of your talent and I was proud as hell when you were working for me at my place. I had one of the best chefs in the world in my restaurant. When you left and opened up at restaurant that would be in direct competition with mine, well it really hurt me. Not only did I lose a great chef but we were also competing. It drove me nuts man.”
Link looked shocked to hear what Jared had to say.
“Look Jared, I didn't do any of this to hurt you, that wasn't my intention at all. I had no idea that you felt that way. I have a lot of respect for you, and I learned a lot while working for you. But I had the same dream you did; I just wanted to have something of my own. I know that we are competing but Jared, your restaurant was doing fine and it will always be successful. People know there is good food. I'm not taking anything away from you.”
“I know. I just let the jealousy take over me. It almost ruined my life. I don't know why I did everything that I did; it all just spiraled out of control. I'll make it right, I promise.”
“That's all I needed to hear Jared, all is forgiven.”
The look of relief on Jared's face almost made me cry.
“Thank you Jared,” I said.
I kissed Link on the cheek, while I was grinning ear to ear. “Thank you sweetheart,” I whispered.
I blew a kiss to my brother and we left the holding cell.
Chapter Four
We quickly made our way to the front desk to speak with the booking officer about Jared.
“How did your little meeting go?” the officer said with a hint of sarcasm. I didn't like the look of the guy at all. He was kind of a jerk.
“It went great. I would like to drop the charges against Jared. I no longer need you to hold him. It was
all a misunderstanding.”
“Well that's just fantastic, but I'm afraid we can't let Jared go.”
“Why not?” Link and I both said in unison.
“Well even if you want to drop the charges, it's not as easy as that.”
“Why not?”
“I can drop the slander and libel charges, but I'm afraid that doesn't do anything for the drug charges he has against him.”
I slowly closed my eyes. Shit!
“Are you serious?”
“Link, the guy had drugs all over his apartment. We are charging him on possession of controlled substances, there is nothing that either of you can do to help him out of that. He needs to get a lawyer.”
Well that was that. Gloria had still put Jared in a bad spot. He would not be going home today. They would still put him into booking on the drug charges. Gloria had sent the police to Jared's home specifically because she knew there would be drugs, and now we couldn't get him out of the mess entirely. I knew that Jared was going to need a damn good lawyer in his corner now to get him out of the mess he was in.
Chapter Five
Our next stop was Gloria's office. I didn’t want to. I thought if I saw her again I might choke her. Link thought that we should at least talk it over with her. The very thought of going to that woman for help was enough to raise my blood pressure.
“Sweetheart we need to talk to her to see if she will help.”
“She's not going to want to help. She hates me and she wants to bring down Jared.”
“Trust me, she will listen to me.”
I rolled my eyes, “Yeah I bet.”
We rolled up to her building and made our way up to her office. It felt like Deja vu for me all over again. I was sure that the receptionist would be thrilled to see me. When the elevator door opened I was immediately met with a glare.
“Don't you even think about it missy. You are not getting back in here again.”
Link piped up, “Actually I am a client of Gloria's and it's an emergency. I need to see her immediately. You can let her know that I'm here and I assure you that she will see me.”
