"This is my site. This is where we sell and market our videos and images," Mike said and leaned away from her body.

Nadine shuddered a bit as he moved away from her. His cologne was very subtle and it lingered in her nose for a few seconds after he left. She turned back to the screen and Mike clicked a few options with the mouse and a list of stars of the company was in front of her eyes. Most of the people she hadn't recognized from the party were on the list as were more she hadn't seen before. One of the names that she saw was Melina's and her eyes looked closely at her screen picture.

The picture showed Melina wearing a very nice black and purple nightie that barely covered her ass. She was leaning forward teasingly and her hair and makeup were professionally done. She didn't look slutty, more classy and naughty all at the same time. Nadine was impressed and scrolled through more of the images. She saw the name she remembered he used and clicked on it. Mike's picture came to life and showed him wearing a pair of gray business pants with no shirt so his hard body and tattoos came out proudly. The belt and zipper were undone, but showed nothing other than his navel area and the top of his lower abdomen.

Nadine looked along the screen and she saw the pictures were very classy and made all the stars and starlets look appealing and very model like at once. She noted that there were so many different people in the screen from Black men and White men to a few Latino and Asians the men all had a similar appearance. They all looked like they were no stranger to the gym or at least to exercise. The women all were very very attractive and from the pro care taken from their hair and makeup they looked trim and well balanced. She could see a few likely had corrective surgery or enhancements done, but not to make them over the top.

Mike waited for a few then he got the reaction he wanted as a familiar face from the party came on the screen. Talindra Desire's picture came to the screen and Nadine's eyes bulged as she saw her as she liked to look. The tall woman was wearing six inch stiletto heeled boots and a tight black and red corset. The tops of her knee high boots had gold buckles and the straps that led from the corset were garters that hooked to black fishnet stockings. Her left hand held a riding crop and her right hand had a leash that was attached to a collar of a smaller Hispanic man who was on his hands and knees before her. She had her left boot up on his back and her expression was very demure.

Nadine's eyes popped open and her jaw went slack as she saw the woman from the party that she thought was very pretty was now before her eyes and the look she had was terrifying, but she couldn't look away.

"So that's my company," Mike said and Nadine looked to him.

"Wow," was all she could say.

Mike laughed a bit at that. She was looking back to the screen and Mike suddenly heard his phone ring. He picked it up and looked at the screen.

"Speak of the devil," he said and answered the phone, "Hey. Yes I'm home, why? Oh you need to talk, that's cool. When did you...? Oh now. Yeah I can talk. Let me get dressed and....oh your here now. No your not...." Mike said and suddenly he heard the dogs barking.

Nadine looked up and Mike was staring at the door to the office.

"Oh shit she is here!" he laughed.

Nadine looked at him confused, "Who?" she asked.

Mike's answer was to point at the screen to Talindra and Nadine's eyes bugged out. She frantically hit the back button and got the image of Talindra off the screen. Mike chuckled and got off the desk.

"Be right back," he said and went to the door.

"Should I leave?" Nadine asked.

"Nah, just hang out. Feel free to look up more porn, I insist," Mike said and laughed.

Nadine's jaw dropped open and a laugh came to her as he left the room. She laughed a few times and shook her head. She looked down at her lap, but her eyes instead saw her shirt was showing high beams. She sighed as she realized they were very sensitive at the moment and the thought of Mike so close to her made a shudder wash over her. She scrolled back to the picture of him and looked at it. The expression he had was non assuming. He didn't pose really, but how he stood showed his character more than anything else.

Nadine was unaware that she had a visitor in the room when she suddenly felt a warm wet feeling on her arm. She jumped and looked down to see Thor panting at her after licking her arm. She laughed and scratched him behind the ear. He leaned into her leg as she sat and flopped into her as she found the right spot again. He groaned in pure bliss as she continued to hit the spot. His back leg began to kick like he was going to scratch, but he didn't as she got the new spot. Nadine laughed as Thor let out a loud moan and flopped to the floor. In a flash he bounced up and began to shake his body. She sat on his haunches and tilted his neck to he could scratch himself and after a few scratches he shook one more time and came to Nadine. He put his head on her leg and panted happily. She patted his head and heard voices from down the hall.

"Yeah we have a good set up coming from the buyout, but we'll only get the four instead of the five we originally negotiated for. Seems the fifth wanted a new contract with Vivid," Mike's voice said.

"That fucking bitch," a stern woman's voice said.

"Yeah well what did you expect? I didn't want her here anyways so we dodged a huge bullet with her. She would wanted us to up her salary and truthfully she isn't worth it," Mike said as he came back in.

Mike entered the office as did the same two women from the party. Talindra was very tall Nadine noticed. She was wearing simple riding boots with no heel and she was easily close to six feet tall. The woman who walked with her was the other woman from the party she didn't find the name of. While Talindra looked very casual in her boots, jeans, and tee shirt, the other woman wore a nice conservative business suit of cream color with nice heels to match. She carried a briefcase and like at the party she was pretty in her own right.

The ladies saw Nadine and Talindra remembered her from the party. A smile came to her features and it had a hypnotic effect to Nadine. The way her eyes dazzled in the light was very intoxicating.

"I remember you. Your the cutie from the party," she said with a very strong voice.

Nadine heard the simple words, but the sheer power in her tone was something she couldn't ignore. It was a cross between very matron-like to what she envisioned a executive would have.

"Hi, I'm Desiree and this is my wife Tamara. You must be Nadine," she said and extended her hand to Nadine.

Nadine was stunned she knew her name and stood to give the woman her hand. The shake was very formal, but she could sense an underlying current of energy behind it. The other woman shook her hand as well and they sat down after the formalities were out of the way.

"So Nadine, looking at our enterprise are we?" Desiree said smiling.

Nadine looked back to the screen and shut it off not realizing Mike's picture was still up.

"Oh why did you take the nice picture down? Do you know how hard I had to badger him to take that?" she pouted and Nadine's eyes bugged out.

"Oh come on know. I took it didn't I?" Mike protested.

"After I threatened to have Melina stop making you your favorite meal for a year," Desiree said laughing.

"Always busting my chops..." Mike grumbled and Desiree laughed throatily.

The laugh washed down Nadine's spine like a velvet glove. She shuddered from it and couldn't understand why she was feeling like that. Her legs were shaking as was the rest of her. Desiree happened to see her and looked to her.

"You alright sweetie? You look a bit nervous," she asked with genuine concern.

"She's just nervous with her idol sitting across from her," Mike teased and Nadine instantly blushed.

"Mike! Be nice to Nadine!" Desiree said in a matron-like tone.

Nadine laughed at the way Mike went from playful to quiet. Desiree heard the laugh and looked dead at Nadine and the laugh stopped suddenly.

"And what are we laughing at?" she asked as she crossed her legs very lady like.

"Um...well I...um," Nadine stammered and Desiree laughed again.

"I'm just teasing you," she said and Mike chuckled at that.

"She does this a lot you see. But then again, the office would be a very boring place without her," Mike said and got from his chair.

He walked behind Desiree and gave her a peck on the cheek. Desiree tilted her neck so he could kiss her cheek and when he was done he went to Tamara and sat down next to her.

"If you'll excuse me I need to go over some things with my lawyer, you can stay or go your call," Mike offered.

"Well if it's private I can go," Nadine said meekly and Desiree took note of the tone.

"No, stay, I insist," Desiree said firmly and Nadine looked at her.

The way Desiree was looking at her was something she had never seen before. Desiree stood up and for some reason Nadine stood with her.

"I think I'll go take the dogs out back Mike," Desiree said and Mike nodded his head.

Looking back to Nadine Desiree tilted her head, "Shall we?"

"Um....OK," Nadine said unsure of what was going on.

The two of them walked away form the room and towards the living room. Along the way the dogs all came to the two of them and Desiree led them outside. The way the dogs just ran to her and obeyed without question shocked Nadine. Desiree didn't say anything other than snap her fingers and the dogs hopped to and ran out to the yard. Along the way Desiree unfurled the umbrella that was over the bench that she had sat on with Mike at the party.

"So, I see you haven't run screaming from Mike and told the whole neighborhood of what he does," Desiree said simply.

"No, it's not my business," Nadine replied.

"That's a good answer. So, tell me Nadine, why are you here asking Mike to show you what he does I wonder?" Desiree pried and Nadine blushed.

"Oh I see, a good little girl that met a big hunky porn star and is smitten with him," she teased and Nadine couldn't help the blush.

Desiree laughed playfully and patted Nadine on the arm. Nadine actually laughed a bit at the joke, but deep down she couldn't take her mind's eye off of Mike and the scene she had seen before. The way the thick woman was being manhandled by him was something she didn't want to admit had gotten to her. She didn't realize but her face was lost in thought.

"So on to a better subject, how are you doing?" Desiree asked.

"Oh I'm OK I guess," Nadine said and Desiree could tell she was being less than truthful.

Desiree decided not to dig so she let it drop and changed topics.

"Well, next weekend I expect to see you at my birthday party," she said seriously and Nadine looked up.

"Your birthday?" she asked.

"Well yes. My birthday, you know the day I get a year older," Desiree teased and Nadine laughed

"Well of course I can come if you want me to," Nadine offered.

"I just said so," Desiree said laughing and Nadine felt silly.

"God, you're so cute," Desiree teased and Nadine blushed.

"Umm," Nadine tried to answer, but was dumbfounded.

"Well I think I've embarrassed you enough for one day," Desiree said laughing and got to her feet.

Nadine watched as the woman went to one of the balls on the floor and began to play with the dogs. Nadine watched her and couldn't help but look at her with a sense of wonder. She saw how strong Desiree seemed and it made her begin to wonder. A part of her admired how strong she was. A large part of her also wished she could be as strong as she was. Nadine watched as she had the dogs chasing the ball and it was fun seeing the dogs being so playful. A long time passed as they watched the dogs play. The sun was at it's end and night was coming about when Nadine's phone went off.

Nadine sighed as she reached into her pocket and pulled it out. Looking down she saw it was an email from Trevor. She had a curious look on her face as she opened it and a link was on it. The top of the email made her curious as she saw it was sent to more than a dozen people aside from just her. She opened the link and a video began to play. She noted the time and it was maybe twenty minutes ago. Nadine looked close at the images and what she saw made her mind almost shut down.

On the video was a dimly lit strip club and Trevor was dancing with some white girl she didn't recognize. Looking close at it she saw the woman was hanging all over him and he was doing nothing to stop her. The way the two acted was very unsettling to her, but what happened next was just the last straw. The woman was giggling as Trevor grabbed her by the ass and squeezed it. The woman was actually grinding her body along his and Nadine's eyes bulged as he said something she couldn't hear and the two left the club floor to the back.

Nadine's eyes had a sudden influx of tears in them as she watched the man she married drag a cheap floozie away to the back of the club. The person with the camera was laughing as he followed and when he got there he cheered his friend on as the woman had her head in his lap and was bobbing away on his dick. Nadine's gasped as she watched the woman sucking him off and he was showing more emotion for it than he ever had from her.

Desiree heard the gasp and looked to Nadine and what she saw made the hackles on her neck stand on end. She walked over to the younger woman and what she saw made her head tilt in confusion. The screen of her phone showed a skinny rather plain looking blonde woman sucking on a man's dick. The look on Nadine's face was one of pure anger that looked ready to explode.

"Nadine?" she asked and Nadine looked up in tears.

"Oh no," Desiree said as she realized what would likely make her tear up like that.

Desiree's face suddenly took a turn that Nadine had no reason to why. The sorrow for her was there, but and deep coldness filled her eyes as she sat down next to her and put her arm around Nadine's shoulders. The feeling of the strange woman's arms was actually comforting and Nadine's tears came out as did a loud sob that caused her to lean into the arm and she broke down crying. Desiree curled Nadine to her side as the tears began to drench her shirt and Nadine's phone slipped from her grasp. The arms of the smaller woman were in her lap as she sobbed and Desiree softly spoke words of comfort to her.

The tears did not stop and even the nearby dogs stopped playing when they heard the sounds of Nadine's pain. Thor came forward and looked at his new friend and tilted his head. He saw the pain in her face and for some reason he knew she needed comforting. Slowly he trotted up to Nadine and put his head on her hands. Nadine felt the soft fur and her eyes opened to see the big dog just sitting with his head in her lap. He didn't pant, just sat still and her hands found his fur as she got a fistful of his jowl and held it. Thor looked up to her and she let go realizing it would hurt him.

Desiree patted Thor who got from Nadine's lap and trotted away. Nadine got the sobs under control after a while and just sat still next to Desiree. Desiree slowly began to stroke her back in slow circles and Nadine sighed into her as it relaxed her muscles. It was during that time that Mike happened to the yard wondering why they had been out so long. He looked over and saw the sight before his eyes of the two of them so close and his eyes slowly narrowed as he took in the situation before him. He saw the phone on the floor and the way his three dogs sat nearby and quietly at that made him concerned. He strode up to the two and when he got to the front of them he realized something bad had happened.

"Nadine?" he softly whispered.

Nadine's pain filled eyes looked up and that was all he needed to see. A slight grimace came to his face as he put two and two together. A slight pall of anger also crept up and he had a slight impulse to go hunting. However, his better nature kept that impulse under control as he sat down next to Nadine and put his hand on her shoulder. When Nadine felt his big hand on her she looked over to him and she had tears running down her cheeks. The sob she had under control came back and Mike saw it.

"No, no, no...shhh," Mike said softly as she turned to him and began to cry again.

Mike took her in his arms and held her close to him. His body began to rock like a father would rock a child that was upset as he softly spoke to her. His words were soft and comforting as he promised her he would be here for her if she needed it. Nadine nodded her head in his chest and was shocked when Desiree hugged her from behind as well. Nadine felt surrounded by the two most unlikely people in the world at that moment. She couldn't understand why these two people were being so nice to her at all. She wanted to ask them why, but her anger at Trevor prevented the words from being formed.

"Nadine...Nadine," Mike said softly to get her attention.

Nadine looked up to his warm eyes and she noted a firmness behind them.

"Let's go inside. We can talk more if you want, or you can do as you wish," Mike offered.

"Thank you," she got out between gasps for air.

Mike stood up slowly and kept his arm around her shoulder. Desiree stood as well and held her the same way on the other side. They walked into the house and to Mike's office. Once there they found Tamara at the computer typing something. She looked up and saw Nadine and her eyes got wide.

"Are you OK?" she asked suddenly.

Mike shook his head quickly to silence her and that was all it took for Tamara to give a pained expression. Mike led Nadine to the couch in the side of the office and sat her down. Tamara came over and between her and Desiree, Mike knew Nadine would be fine. Once they were sitting Mike went back to the yard and quickly found her phone. He saw the file was still open. On a hunch he hit play and watched the video for a few seconds. He watched the scene unfold before his eyes and began to chuckle.

"Fucking amateur hour," he spat as he walked back to his office.

Along the way he forwarded the email to his account and strode into his office. Mike walked in quietly as Nadine sat back and dried her eyes. Desiree held her hand and Tamara sat quietly next to her. Mike sat at his desk and pulled up his email. He put the email up and hit play. Desiree looked at him curiously as he pulled out his glasses and began to look at the screen. Desiree's expression suddenly shifted as she knew that he only had those glasses on when he was directing or editing films.

"Mike?" Desiree asked confused.

"This was shot on a fucking iPhone. I mean really, they could have used a Samsung," Mike laughed mockingly and Desiree looked at him incredulously.

Nadine looked up at him in confusion as he watched on. He snapped his fingers as if he had an epiphany and went on.

"I know this bar. Oh fuck it's that dive piece of shit "Angels". Its in Glendale," Mike said recognizing the bar.

Mike shook his head when he thought of Trevor going to that place to do what he did. A part of him wanted to mock Trevor for doing what he did, but he needed to retain some tact for Nadine. Mike knew very well of the club from his early days in the industry as they got many of the low rate talent from there. Aside from that Mike knew the many other things that the bar was notorious for.

"It's a Florida for strippers and a breeding ground for junkies," Mike said derisively.

Nadine's eyes got wide as he said that. Tamara also had a wide eyed expression as Mike said that. The wheels spun in her mind as she came up with a plan for Nadine in a micro second. Mike looked to the screen and the skinny blonde then to Nadine. He shook his head as he compared the two and laughed a bit. His mind spat an insult to Trevor for choosing such a worthless comparison to cheat on Nadine with.
