She was Jealous

I arrived at the client's house and expected her to be almost violently upset. I had sent her pictures, ones that she wanted me to get. Instead, I found her outside in the driveway, waiting for me, with a smile. She was standing beside her car, a classic 1953 Chevrolet with a multi-chromatic paint job. She was quite a woman; large breasts yelled inside a too-small sweater, her dangerous curves screamed at me from her tight skirt.

She made a show of walking to me, each wiggle and step carefully measured for effect, one that was working on me. She tossed her long brown hair back and smiled girlishly. She leaned into me, so close I smelled the perfume she placed well on her neck. "Thank you, Remy," she whispered with a sultry edge.

"You're welcome, Mrs. Talbot," I answered. She reached out with her perfectly manicure hands and softly touched my chest. She looked up at me with her hazel and heather eyes, round, and wanting. A smirk came to her face for a moment.

"You could just call me Maxine," she cooed. She reached up and gently kissed my neck. "Now that you've found proof of my husband's cheating, perhaps we could be more than client/investigator." She toyed with my shirt, playfully unbuttoning and buttoning.

I wanted to push her against the car and rip at her sweater, wanted to release her heaving breasts, and force my mouth down on her flesh. I wanted to put a hand under her skirt, pull the cloth up until I reached her thighs, pushing them apart, and place my hand on her wetness. I wanted to take her immediately, show her how a man would properly treat her and her body, not cheat on her with a string of thin and paid for bimbos.

I wanted to, but back in my brain, I heard my Jiminy Cricket telling me to stay professional: The case wasn't yet over. "Thank you, Maxine," I said, trying as I might to hide what her actions were doing to me.

"Would you like some iced tea?" she cooed, tugging at my shirt, making clear that she wanted me inside her house.

"No thank you," I replied. I exhaled and looked away, her décolletage mere inches from my eyes. "I came by to hand you more evidence," I professionally added, handing her the Manila envelope my secretary handed me before warning me NOT to get involved with the client, not yet.

"Thanks, Remy," she pouted, taking the pictures from me. She looked disappointed and hurt, as if I had stomped on her heart, the heart she put out for me to have. She took a few steps away from me, her head down, looking at her stilettos.

I grabbed her hand and pulled her back. I took her chin in a hand and raised it. I looked into her eyes and kissed her softly on her deep red lips. "Until this mess is over," I whispered. A smile of awareness began to show, her eyes widened as she realized that I would wait for her, wait until she was divorced from the man she once thought was perfect.

"Good bye," she told me as I walked back to my car.

I pulled into the parking garage, found my spot, and turned off the 'Cuda. I held onto the steering wheel and tried to compose myself. I knew it was an act of futility; my assistant could tell when I was sexually attracted to our female clients. She had radar or something that told her if I wanted the client.

Anna-Maria Campion had been with me for twelve years, through my own divorce and the slew of less-than-acceptable women I gravitated to afterwards. She was that angel on my shoulder when I came dangerously close to being destructive to my body with alcohol. Conversely, I was there for her when she had marital problems that lead her ex-husband to become physically violent; I had a guy "talk" with him, show him the error of his ways.

I looked at myself in the rearview mirror and shrugged my shoulders. "Let's get this over with," I mumbled. I opened the door, inhaled deeply, and began my walk towards scrutiny.

"How did she take it?" my assistant asked as I walked into the office. Anna-Maria was at the reception desk reading mail while watching the phones. She took her eyes from the correspondence -- mostly bills and payment checks -- and shook her head. She frowned with anticipation of bad news.

"She took it rather well," I began. "Under the circumstances, she was quite pleased as a matter of fact." I managed a warm smile, belying the devilish grin that wanted to come out.

"Pleased? How so? We just ruined her life." I walked to my private office, she followed me in and took a seat on the warm brown leather couch I had for clients and the occasional nap.

I thought for a moment before answering, trying carefully plan out my words. I had to keep from Anna-Maria what I done, what the client had done, in the driveway when I brought the remaining photographs and evidence. "She didn't seem too broken up, didn't appear to me that she had been crying. Maybe it was all an act, a façade, put on for me, so I wouldn't worry." I lied and hoped she believed me.

"Wouldn't be the first client to hide emotions from us," Anna-Maria said, buying the lie. At least I hope she did. She leaned back and tossed an arm over the back. She crossed her long legs, stared at me with her dark brown doe eyes, and smiled knowingly. She bounced her left leg on her right, as if she was waiting for me to tell her something, an item that I was leaving out, keeping from her.

Anna-Marie looked at me with her knowing eyes. She looked me up and down, taking in my body language. I tried to act normal, tried to hide that Maxine made me sweat whenever I saw her. She sighed heavily and shook her head.

"How did her lips taste?" was all she asked me.

I was tempted to have her sit on my lap, kiss me, and have a taste, but I thought better of it. "She tastes pretty good."

Anna-Maria smiled and uncrossed her legs. "I bet she does." She stood and smoothed down the wrinkles on her gray skirt. Before leaving, she turned to me and said, "Lover boy, don't forget you have paperwork still that needs to be completed so I can get out to our other clients, and you and I are having lunch this afternoon."

I smiled at her and dove into the paperwork. I didn't want her to see that I forgot about our lunch.

* * * * *

I was still deep in paperwork when she knocked on the office door and let herself in before I had a chance to say no. Anna-Maria had changed. Gone was the pink, button-down blouse. In its stead, she had on a light blue, long sleeved Oxford shirt. A pair of carpi-length jeans had replaced her gray pencil skirt. On her feet, she wore light blue sneakers, not the six-inch stilettos she came to work in.

"Are you ready?" she asked.

"I will be once this is gone," I answered. I slipped off my tie and left it on the desktop. I had already changed my shoes: gone were the black loafers, replaced by my favorite white cross trainers. "Where are we going?" I asked.

She just smiled and said, "You'll see." She stood and walked out of the office. She pointed to a picnic basket and had me pick it up; it was heavy. She grabbed a blanket. I followed her out to the parking garage.

"We're taking my car," she told me once inside the structure. Anna-Maria unlocked the trunk; I placed the basket in. She unlocked the car.

"Still not going to tell me, are you?" I asked as I sat in her red, 1970 Mach 1. She turned over the engine and backed out of her parking spot.

She didn't answer me. She just drove out of the garage, taking a left and headed towards the river.

It was a short and quiet trip to Rotterdam Junction. I didn't ask her where we were going, and she didn't offer me any clues. Anna-Maria turned off Route 5s, turned into an empty parking lot. She parked her Ford close to a path that led towards the river. The dirt path went through some short bushes and into a wide thicket of birches and ash trees, hiding the river itself from view.

The smile on her face reminded me of those painters used on devils. "Do you know where we are now?"

I nodded. Here was where I took Anna-Maria when my "friend" saw her ex. Here was where she thanked me, both literally and figuratively. Here was where she wanted lunch.

"Grab the food out of the trunk while I go ahead and find us a place to spread out." She opened her door, grabbed the blanket and rushed down the path. She quickly disappeared out of sight.

"How the fuck am I going to open the trunk?" I thought to myself. I quickly realized something; she left the keys in the ignition. I grabbed them and headed to the trunk. I shook my head and removed the basket.

"Where are you?" I called out when I hit the bushes.

"Right here," I heard her say. I walked through the foliage and found myself in an open small field, only 30 yards from the edge of the Mohawk River. I looked to my right and saw my assistant. She had the blanket spread out, but she also had removed her sneakers and jeans.

She was lounging on her elbows on the red plaid spread, her long tanned legs exposed to the air. She had unbuttoned her Oxford down to where her bra should have been. For the first time, I realized she had removed her bra when she changed.

"I'm hungry," she called to me. "You'll love what I packed," Anna-Maria cooed once I approached. She parted her legs slightly, teasing me. The end of the shirt covered what I now desired.

It took me a moment to come back to reality. "Why? What did you put in here?" I placed the basket next to her. She rose to her knees and opened it.

She removed paper plates and plastic utensils. She placed them carefully on the blanket. She looked at me and spoke, "I remember what you love for lunch." Anna-Maria reached in and pulled out a long loaf of bread, French bread to be exact. She placed it next to the plates before taking out a bread knife.

I smiled in anticipation to what was next. My assumption was correct: A jar of raspberry preserves.

"They're from the farm," she informed me. The farm meant her aunt's farm, a gentle woman who raised various fruits and vegetables on a small farm in Schoharie County, near where my father was born and raised.

She reached in and removed to wine glasses and a bottle of wine. I gave her a disappointed look: she knew I didn't drink alcohol during the workday, even if I was the boss. She reached in and removed two bottles of Dr Pepper.

"I know what you like to drink, too." She chuckled and patted an empty spot near her. "Come sit and start cutting the bread."

I smiled and sat. She handed me the knife and the bread. She opened the wine bottle and poured a glass for herself.

I cut the heel and offered it to my assistant. "Would you like a piece?"

She shook her head and took a sip from her glass. "No thank you. I'd like to lay here, drink some wine, and watch you eat." She leaned on her left elbow and looked at me.

I opened the preserves jar and smeared some on the piece of bread. I put the food to my mouth and looked at her. "What?"

Her dark brown eyes looked at me, the edges of her mouth curled up. She slowly licked her lips. She allowed her blouse bottom to open, allowed me to see her thighs. She parted her legs slightly, giving me a salacious look at her body. Her seduction was working.

My pants were tight. I was beginning to sweat. I tried to concentrate on the food: the taste of the raspberries was tart and sweet. I knew I was fighting a losing battle, and worst of all, she knew it.

Anna-Maria put her glass down and raised the bottom of her shirt. "Do you really want to eat that and not this?"

I dropped my half-eaten piece of bread and stared, not hiding the fact that I liked what I saw. Her legs were long, but not too thin, athletic yet not too muscular. In her youth, she was a runner, long distances. She kept herself in shape, toned herself while married. Her post-divorce body was still as delicious, though time and gravity weren't kind to her, something I found appealing.

She widened her legs more and there, I saw it for the first time. The forbidden fruit, the part of her body I never saw before, was lovely. A small tuft of hair left above her lips, lips darker than her light olive skin. They were large and sexy.

I wanted to push open her legs wider. I wanted to put my tongue within her hot wetness. I wanted to rip off the blouse and massage her B-cup breasts. I wanted to grab top her, slide my hard cock inside of her.

"What do you think, Remy?" she asked. She slid a hand down her body, stopping when her fingers reached her delicate lily. "Do you want this, Boss Man? Come on, you can tell me."

I removed my glasses and placed them into the basket. I stood, kicked off my sneakers, and began to unbutton my shirt. She sat up and did the same, removing hers quickly, exposing her breasts to me. Her hard nipples were a darker color of her olive skin and pointed perfectly at me.

I reached for my belt. Anna-Maria slid to me and held my hands. "Let me do this," she cooed. She looked up at me and removed my belt. She unbuttoned and unzipped my pants, pushed them down to my feet.

Her breath against my underwear made my hardening cock throb. "I can see that you like me naked," she whispered. Slowly, she rubbed it through the fabric and moaned. "If I had only known," she started. She didn't say another word, just helped me step out of my pants. I slipped off my shirt and t-shirt, tossing them down on the blanket.

She put her fingers inside of my underwear and slowly pulled down. "Oh dear Lord," she breathed out when she uncovered my hardness. She allowed my shorts to fall to the ground; her attention was more on my cock. I stepped out of them; she took my cock in her soft, warm hand.

"I should have done this sooner." She pulled me onto the blanket, releasing me so she could lie on her back. Anna-Maria spread her legs wide and smiled. "Come fuck me, Boss Man, fuck me like I deserve."

I didn't need her to say it again. I dropped to my knees and leaned onto her body. I kissed her lips. I moved down her body, tasted her neck, and sucked both nipples, nipples hard and long.

"Oh God Remy," she cooed. "Your mouth is hot."

I sucked on her breast and rolled my tongue over her darker nips. I felt her body slightly shudder.

"No one's ever done that," she breathlessly whispered. "Oh God that's amazing."

I placed a hand on her thigh and slowly moved up. She nodded consent. I moved it to her pussy. I placed a finger on her labia, to find her wet. I slipped it inside.

"God yes, Remy," she moaned. She arched her back and pushed her hips forward. I retracted the finger slightly before moving it back in.

"Add another," she whispered. She pushed her hips more, her clit touching the heel of my palm. I inserted a second. She feverishly thrust her hips forward and back. She grabbed my hair.

"Remy, I'm going to come," she screamed. "Remy!" I moved another finger inside and rapidly moved my hand, matched her movements.

"Fuck," she screamed. "God I love this."

Her body shook before collapsing fully onto the blanket. Anna-Maria panted with her eyes closed, a big smile on her face. I leaned in and kissed her.

She moaned, "Come fuck me." I slid my cock inside. She was wet, soaking. She was hot.

"Oh God, you're so hard." She opened her legs wide. I pushed in deeper. She wrapped her arms around me tightly, whispered how much she loved it.

"Slowly," she breathlessly said when I tried to start to fuck faster. "I want this to last."

"Anything you say." I pushed in deeper, causing her to let out a giggle.

"It's been so long."

I could have questioned her, asked her how long it had been, but that more than likely would have ruined the moment. I decided to change tact. "You've wanted this for a long time, haven't you?" I asked, retracting slowly before plunging deep within.

She laughed slightly. "You have no idea." Anna-Maria wrapped her long, olive legs around me and pulled me closer. "You've always been a turn on."

"I have?"

Her pussy got hotter, tighter around my cock. "God yes, since I first met you."

I was shocked, stunned. This woman was a few years older than I was, a few inches taller, and better educated. She could have any man in the building and some of the women as well. It shocked me.

She held me tighter, squeezing. "Shit Remy, I'm coming again." Her grip on my body increased, her hips began to match my thrusts. "Yes, yes Remy."

I felt my own orgasm begin within my balls. I felt them tighten. I felt my orgasm rush through my body. I knew I was going to fill her.

"So am I," I whispered.

"With me," she began. She swore to God then screamed for me to join her.

Anna-Maria lay on my body while she ate some raspberry preserves covered French bread, looking out onto the Mohawk River. She had cleaned up some - had a washcloth, soap and water in the basket -- but stay nude. I put on my pants.

She looked at me and sighed. "I have a confession to make."

I had an idea of what it was, but stayed silent, didn't want to look foolish if I was wrong.

"I only acted on my lost because I was jealous." I was correct. I thought she was of our client, but wasn't going to mention it to her.

I cocked my head and acted ignorant of it. "What do you mean jealous?"

She played with my chest hair. "Maxine Talbot is a very sexy woman, Remy. You can't deny it." She rolled away from me and sat up. "Every time you went to talk with her, I felt envious."

"Envious? Why? You know I wasn't going to do anything with her. You know that's not my style." I was many things -- a pervert, a male slut, a pig -- but I was not someone that would bed a female client, let alone on that was married and looking for evidence of her husband fucking around.

She turned to me, her eyes wide. I saw a tear form at the edge of her right eye. "Because she was spending time alone with you, time that I so wanted myself." She wiped her eyes and fell onto my chest. "Can you forgive me?"

"Forgive you? You haven't done anything wrong."

"I feel that I have."

I reached down for her and pulled her up to me. I hugged her tightly. I whispered in her ear, "You've done nothing wrong." I kissed her cheek.

"Thank you," she said.

We spent some time in that position, me holding her up against her body, neither one of us saying a word, or moving. A soft, warm breeze blew in our faces when she stood.

"We should get back to the office," she suggested. "You have a 3 o'clock meeting with another possible client, another divorce case." She picked up her blouse and smiled.

"And another thing I have to do." She buttoned the Oxford and looked down into my eyes, "I have to call Mrs. Talbot."

I was confused. "Why?"

She gave me one of her devilish grins. "I need to inform her that she and I need to talk."
