Chapter Fifteen: Secrets Revealed
After Jack and Alyssa had caught their breaths from their vigorous sexual encounter, Jack reached out to hold Alyssa close to his chest. The couple remained entwined in a deep embrace until they drifted off to sleep. The next morning they both showered and then they said their goodbyes in the hotel room. They knew that just being seen in the bar together and then checking out together was incredibly risky. So Alyssa left first and Jack checked out two hours later. Thankfully it was the weekend and so they didn't have to contend with trying to go into work without their tryst being blatantly obvious on their faces.
Alyssa spent all day floating on a cloud and reliving the amazing experience over and over again in her head. She tried to watch television but she couldn't focus. She just couldn't get their amazing night out of her head. Jack was hands down the best lover she had ever had. By the end of the day Alyssa was so worked up from these thoughts that she ran her vibrator out of batteries once again. Just about the time that she had finished pleasuring herself, Jack called. She laughed and she told him what she had been doing.
"What's the matter, didn't I satisfy you?" He asked precariously.
"Oh believe me, I was more than satisfied. It was just so incredibly hot that I can't stop thinking about it. So help me I want more," she said teasingly.
"Well then we are just going have to make this a regular thing then," he said.
"Please tell me you mean that," Alyssa responded.
They started talking about setting up a regular meeting place and time where they could be alone without arousing any suspicions at the workplace. Jack had apparently spent the better half of the day trying to find a remote location for their private meetings. Somewhere that would offer abject privacy and still be nice and romantic. He found a quaint, family run hotel in Brooklyn. It was small and kind of on the low end side, but it was clean and the owners were sympathetic to the situation. Jack paid in advance to have a room every other Friday and Saturday night. Then he asked Alyssa if meeting every other week and spending two days together each time would be okay with her. He said that he thought if they hooked up every week that someone would catch on to what they were doing. Then she would lose her job and his reputation would be forever tarnished. Alyssa had been hoping for more but she agreed to the arrangement.
Alyssa went to see her mother later that day. She told her mom that she would only be coming for a visit every two weeks because she had fallen in love but that he was someone she worked with and they could only see each other every other weekend. Valerie laughed at her daughter and smiled.
"This wouldn't happen to be your boss would it?" Valerie asked knowingly.
"Okay how could you possibly know that? If anyone found out, I'd lose my job and he might lose his too even if he is the name partner's only son. I know it seems wrong, but I've never felt this way before. Mom, I truly am in love with him," Alyssa finally admitted to both her mom and to herself.
"I know because your eyes light up every time you talk about him," Valerie teased. Then she told her daughter that she was truly happy for her, even if it meant fewer visits. Anyway Valerie only had fourteen months left to go and then she would be released.
"Besides," said Valerie, "I figured he liked you too and that was why he got me a new lawyer. I doubt he would have done that for just anyone."
As Alyssa and her mother talked, a prison guard watched them closely and he listened to every word of their conversation. Valerie noticed this but it was common behavior for guards to listen in on the inmate's private conversations as a security measure, so she didn't think too much of it. She had no way of knowing that this was the same guard that regularly snuck in drugs and paraphernalia for Mica and the other girls who worked for Trevor. This guard was a man named Greg Hernida and he knew Trevor Barnes very well because they had grown up together and had been friends for nearly twenty years. In fact the whole reason he had become a guard was so Trevor could have someone who could get things in and out of the prison.
Hernida was an exceptionally bright young man growing up. He was so smart that his family protested his career choice because they always figured he would go to college and use his intelligence to get a high paying job as a doctor or a lawyer or something. Despite what his parents might think, Greg Hernida wasn't wasting his intelligence. Working for Barnes was easy and highly profitable. The meager 28,000 per year he made as a prison guard was nicely supplemented by the quarter million he received from Barnes every year. Of course this money had to be kept in an off shore account, but it was easily accessible but not easily traced as long as Hernida flew under the radar with his spending.
Unfortunately for Alyssa, Greg Hernida was too smart for his own good. The whole time that Trevor Barnes and his gang had been in jail, Trevor had been trying to find out if Valerie and Alyssa had anything to do with his arrest. Trevor knew that Valerie had refused to take the deal in exchange for testifying against him. He figured that scaring Alyssa had paid off in that aspect, but he always wondered if one of them had been the one who talked before he got arrested.
Barnes was an incredibly smart and patient man. He wanted revenge but he wanted to make sure that the right person suffered. When Greg Hernida overheard the fact that Alyssa had been responsible for getting Valerie that fancy attorney, he knew without a doubt that Alyssa was the one who talked. He figured that she probably gave a statement in exchange for Valerie's new trial and her first reduced sentence. Now Hernida was prepared to share his suspicions with Trevor Barnes. He would have to wait though. Greg Hernida worked at both the men's and the women's correctional facilities but he was not scheduled to work in the men's prison for another two months. Since he wanted to talk to Trevor directly, he would just have to sit on this information until then.
Hernida kept his cool as he told Valerie that her visiting time was over. He cautiously escorted her back to her cell, resisting the urge he felt to bash her head into the wall. He felt that Valerie was as much to blame as was her nosy daughter, but he knew better than to make a move without consulting Trevor first. Unlike these bitches, Hernida had a true sense of loyalty.
In the meantime Alyssa returned to her daily life, completely oblivious to what was happening around her. The truth is that she had fallen so deeply in love with Jack that she didn't notice much of anything else. She was completely consumed with thoughts of him and his thoughts were always of her. The couple kept their private life a secret at work, but both of them anxiously awaited their weekend get-togethers. The days in between were torture for both of them. Neither one could wait until they could be alone together and be free to enjoy each other in the most carnal of fashions. Although Alyssa quit flirting with Jack at work and they portrayed only the most professional interactions while they were on the clock. They did spend a good deal of time sending racy text messages and talking dirty to each other on the phone. It was almost like a two week long tease that would lead up to their next passionate night together. They were both openly sexual in their conversations, sharing their fantasies thus driving one another crazy with their intimate discussions.
Then when each torturous waiting period was over, Alyssa and Jack would meet up at the prepaid motel room. One weekend Alyssa got there early and the manager was kind enough to let her in. She took a bath and then she put on some lacy and sexy lingerie that she had purchased for the occasion. When Jack arrived, Alyssa was waiting for him on the bed. He was so happy to open the door and find her all dressed up and anxiously awaiting their time together.
"Don't you look sexy?" Jack asked as he started tearing his clothes off and moving toward her.
"I've been waiting for you," she said right before he kissed her. It did not take long for Jack to remove the fancy lingerie and start devouring Alyssa's pussy like it was a delicate fruit so full of juicy deliciousness. She spread her legs wide open and gratefully welcomed his tongue. After awhile Jack suggested that they try the sixty-nine position. Alyssa was more than wi
lling to accommodate his request. The two delighted each other orally until they achieved simultaneous orgasms.
After this they decided to take a little break and order some room service. Jack said that he had gotten too excited and he needed a little time to recuperate. So they enjoyed a meal and then cuddled up to watch a movie. About half way into the film Jack was ready to go again. This time he wanted to try something a little more adventurous. He brought out a neatly wrapped package and he handed it to his new lover. Alyssa opened it up to find a large vibrating plastic cock.
"What would you like to do with this?" Alyssa asked with a big smile plastered across her face.
"Lie down and let's see," Jack requested.
Alyssa happily complied and she opened her legs to welcome him and the hardware he brought with him. He turned it on and started running it all over her pussy lips. He rested it on her clit and then he slid up next to her to whisper tales of erotic fantasies into her ear. They kissed and shared stories of sexual desire until Alyssa started to cum. It was an intense orgasm and she pushed the vibrator away for a moment. Realizing that she had reached the point he was hoping for, he proceeded to slide the toy inside her vagina. Then he leaned forward to kiss her as he fucked her with the toy. Then he whispered that he was hoping that she would take over using the toy and allow him to fuck her in the ass while she did. The thought truly excited Alyssa. She liked anal sex as much as doing it the regular way but she had never had both holes filled at the same time before. It was something that she secretly always wanted to try but she was always afraid to ask past lovers and she just couldn't manage two toys at once on her own. She confessed that she had never done that before but that she wanted to. Jack promised to be gentle and he was. He asked Alyssa to go doggy style and then he lubricated her holes and entered her delicately. Alyssa worked the toy in the front and Jack gently but methodically fucked her from behind. Alyssa couldn't believe how incredibly good it felt to have both stimulated so fully at the same time. She had the most intense and lasting orgasms and Jack came so hard that he nearly passed out.
The couple continued to pleasure each other in new and exciting ways and they started to meet more frequently. Fortunately no one at work seemed to suspect that there was anything between them, even though Alyssa now worked on every one of Jack's cases. She was a very good paralegal and everyone in the office just figured that Jack recognized her exceptional work. This was true, but Jack honestly just wanted to keep her near him. Just having her around was a constant dick tease and the same was true for her. When Jack was around she was always ready to go.
One day the excitement of just being around each other became too much for either of them to handle. Alyssa and Jack had been working alone together the entire day. Since it was just the two of them, there was continual flirting and random innuendo being thrown around. At one point Alyssa admitted that she often fantasized about fucking in his office. Jack responded by saying that he had the same idea on numerous occasions. He said that the thrill of doing something so wrong just added to his excitement. Before long the thought had become too exciting to resist and Alyssa was perched under Jack's desk, giving him head while he was working on his paperwork. Later they both admitted that a little oral pleasure during the day had been a real turn on. Over the next few days they engaged in several brief but hot sexual encounters at work.
That Friday, Jack and Alyssa decided to stay after hours to complete some case files. This was an excuse for office sex, of course. Jack took Alyssa into the copy room and he lifted her up on the copier which was the perfect height for deep and insatiable penetration. Unfortunately they were just getting into it hot and heavy when junior associate, Julie Carmen returned to the office to get some files that she had forgotten. She heard the banging coming from the copy room and she went to see what the noise was. When Julie saw Jack's naked rear end plowing against Alyssa on the copier, she dropped her files and screamed out loud.
"Oh my God!' Julie exclaimed.
Flustered and embarrassed, Jack struggled to put his pants on and feebly offered an explanation to Ms. Carmen. Alyssa was so horrified at being caught that she just stared at the floor, hanging her head in shame. Julie's expression went from shocked to anger in a flash.
"So this is why she gets to work on every single case that you get! While I had to scratch and claw my way up the ladder, little miss paralegal here is just going to fuck her way to the top!' Julie was clearly upset and Jack and Alyssa were terrified at what she was going to do.
"Julie, it's not like that. I love him!' Alyssa pleaded. Jack turned to look at Alyssa. Although they had been together for several months, neither one of them had said the "L" word before.
"I love you, too," Jack told her honestly and then he returned to address Julie.
"I know how this looks, honestly. We didn't mean for any of this to happen, we just fell in love. Yes, we have been hiding our romance, but it was because we feared that people would get the wrong idea. Alyssa is the first woman to truly love me and to show me the respect and attention that my ex-wife never gave me. Please she isn't trying to further her career; we just want to be together. Everyone deserves love and the chance to be happy. Please don't say anything," Jack begged.
"It's going to take a lot more than pleading to earn my silence. I want a nice hefty bonus in my check at the end of the week and a raise. If I don't get it, then I'm going to the partners," Julie demanded with unwavering conviction. She stood face to face with Jack, staring him down like an animal closing in on their prey.
"Whatever it takes," Jack responded. He glanced over at Alyssa who looked even more upset and then she stated to cry.
"This is entirely my fault! I understand if you don't want to see me anymore," Alyssa proclaimed and she ran out of the office in tears. Jack ran after her. He caught up to her just as she was leaving the building. He reached out and caught her by the arm and then he turned her to face him.
"I meant it when I said that I loved you. I don't want to lose you, regardless of what the consequences might be," Jack said and then he kissed her right there in the open.
"I can't be the reason why you lose everything you have so hard your whole life for," Alyssa said and she broke free from his grip and ran toward the subway station. Jack kept trying to call her on her cell, but Alyssa wouldn't answer the phone. Jack left numerous messages begging her not to end their romance and to please report for work on Monday.
Chapter Sixteen: Needle of Death
Alyssa was mortified about being caught having sex with Jack in the office. She didn't know how she was going to face him again and she doubted that she would ever be able to even talk to Julie again or even be able to look her in the eye. She was embarrassed and she felt like nothing more than a two dollar whore. Jack knew she was upset and he kept calling her and leaving her text messages but Alyssa just couldn't handle talking to him just yet. Finally she sent him a text that said that she wasn't mad at him but that she was embarrassed and she felt horrible about putting him in such a bad position. He responded with a message that said he did not care if he lost his job, or angered his father or if the office knew about their romance. He would rather be with her and lose all of that than to end up losing her instead. She texted him back and said that she loved him but that she was going to take a few days off of work to think about what happened and to decide what to do next. Jack sent one final message begging her to stay with him. Alyssa did not respond. Instead she broke down and cried. She loved Jack so much and she wanted to be with him more than anything, but she couldn't bear the thought of costing him everything else in his life. She just couldn't do that to him no matter how much it hurt her to stay away.
Alyssa called human resources and she told them that she had a family emergency and she wanted to request a week off of work. The H.R. representative told her that she had been there long enough that she could actually take her paid vacation but that Jack Coleman would have to approve it because she was on his team. Alys
sa felt defeated. She figured that Jack would never sign off on her request because he so desperately wanted her to come back to work. However she certainly didn't want to give HR any reason to suspect that something was up between the two of them and so she put in the request anyway. About an hour later Jack called her and he left a message on her voice mail.
"Alyssa, I have approved your vacation because I think you need the time, but please come back to work. Please don't leave me. You are my everything. I love you," his voice sounded desperate on the recording. She sent him a text that said that she loved him as well but that she really needed some time off and that she would call him in a few days. The Alyssa shut off her phone and she went to lie down.
At that very moment in the men's state prison, Greg Hernida was telling Trevor Barnes that he had overheard that Valerie's daughter was fucking her boss who happened to be a high powered attorney with connections to both the prosecution and the DEA. He told Barnes that he highly suspected that Alyssa had something to do with getting Valerie that new lawyer and that since Alyssa knew about Barnes without being directly involved with him or his crew, she was definitely the most likely candidate for being the rat. Barnes sat quietly for a few moments and he thought about the situation. Barnes squeezed his eyes and pursed his lips as he thought hard about all the facts and suspicions that were presented for his consideration.
"This whole thing began when Valerie Snyder couldn't pay for her own smack. She offered to deal in exchange for product, but she fucking used what she was supposed to be selling. Her addiction was the problem right from the get go," Barnes said as he was thinking through the events that had transpired.
