Guilty Pleasure (8 page)

“
That’s not it.”

“
Hey, I won’t
pry.”

There was a knock on the front door. Adam
walked over and opened it up. He smiled at Monica and gestured for
her to come in.

Adam enjoyed Monica and Nicole’s visit it
made him forget everything for a few hours. When they left to go
home all those awful feelings swept over him again. He grabbed his
jacket and headed out. He was going to go to the studio and lose
himself in his music. He had to do something to get those awful
images out of his mind.

***

Michael stood in the control room of the
studio Adam was rehearsing in. He watched Adam strumming away at
his acoustic guitar trying to create some sort of melody. Nicole
had called Michael and was worried about Adam. Normally, this
attention Nicole was giving to Adam might make a man jealous, she
was his after all, yet Michael knew Nicole’s intentions. She was
just showing compassion for her roommate’s friend.

It was clear that Adam was distraught. He
wore his emotions on his sleeve, just like Nicole did. Michael was
relieved when the police just chalked the murder up to drug
violence. They would never connect him to it. He was reckless when
he killed that bitch and that man of hers. He had to be more
careful. He couldn’t allow himself to lose control like that
again.

What Michael couldn’t understand was why
Adam was so upset. The bitch that broke his heart got what was
coming to her. His curiosity to know the why of it made him come
here to talk with Adam. It was a bonus that this would also make
Nicole happy.

Michael waited for Adam to stop playing then
he walked into the live room.

“
Holy shit, you scared me,
Michael,” Adam said as he set the guitar down.

“
Nicole wanted me to check
on you.”

“
She did? She has already
been so sweet to me.”

“
Yeah, I know.” That came
out harsher than Michael intended.

“
If I didn’t know better I
would say you aren’t too happy about Nicole hanging around with
me.”

“
I don’t care if she wants
to be around you.”

“
Listen man, I appreciate
you taking the time to check up on me, but I will be fine once I
wrap my head around this.”

“
Do you need me to
represent you? I heard they dragged you down to the police
station.”

“
Yeah, I was hauled in, but
I have been cleared of the charges. So thankfully I don’t need to
hire you.”

“
I would have represented
you for free, you know that.”

“
I know. A part of me is
leery that you are being so nice to me. I know that sounds
incredibly dickey.”

Michael was kind of glad that Adam wasn’t a
totally naïve idiot. This made setting him up to take the fall so
much more satisfying.

“
I understand that. I would
be leery too.”

“
Why are you being so nice
to me?”

“
At first I liked your
music and I was looking for someone to give support to for my
firm’s foundation. But the more I get to know you, the more I like
you.”

“
You are not going to start
hitting on me or anything like that.”

Michael started to laugh. “Well, if I was so
inclined to swing that way, I would certainly hit on you, but since
I’m not gay you are safe.”

“
That is a relief,” Adam
chuckled.

“
Nicole told me they made
you look at crime scene photos. I could go after them for
harassment.”

“
Nah, don’t do that. They
were just doing their job. But I wish I didn’t see those photos.
The way Mindy was murdered…why did whoever did that have to make
her suffer.”

Michael took a measure of pride watching
Adam’s reaction to seeing those photos. He wanted that bitch to
suffer.

“
I know it’s hard, but try
not to think about those photos. She got herself mixed up with the
wrong people and she paid the price. I’m just sorry you had to be
hurt by this. Just thank God you weren’t in that apartment when all
of that happened.”

“
A part of me is very
grateful for that. Yet, a part of me wondered if I was there could
I have stopped it.”

Michael wanted to tell him that if he was
there that bitch wouldn’t have died. He could have killed his
victim he originally planned to do.

“
You would have just ended
up dead too.”

“
I have a personal question
for you. Do you have any feelings for Nicole?”

“
Why would you ask me
that?”

“
It’s just that when she
speaks your name she lights up. I think she really likes you and I
don’t want to see her get hurt.”

“
What is it between you and
her? You two barely know each other.”

“
She is a sweet person. She
has been so nice to me I’m just returning the favor.”

Michael didn’t want to tell Adam anything.
Yet, with Nicole wearing her emotions out there for everyone to see
it would be hard to keep their relationship completely private.
Luckily, Nicole only hung around her roommate and Adam. Michael
could easily kill the roommate if he had to and since Adam would be
taking the fall for everything there was really no harm in telling
him.

“
Nicole and I have started
a personal relationship, but I asked her to keep it private. I
can’t have people at work thinking she got that job because she is
fucking me. It would hurt her career.”

“
I understand. I knew
something was going on between you two. Dude, that woman is in love
with you so you be careful not to break her heart.”

“
Come on, I will go buy you
a beer and we can shoot some pool or something. You need to take
your mind off of everything.”

“
That sounds
good.”

Michael found it sometimes frustrating to be
around Adam. The guy, in his opinion, was way too nice. He wanted
to ask him if there was a small part of him that was happy Mindy
was brutally murdered. Yet, he knew that Adam would be offended by
the question.

The whole time they were at the bar Adam
tried to be pleasant company but he was wallowing in this whole
thing. Michael wanted to shake him and tell him to just snap out of
it. Brutality didn’t faze Michael at all, hell he relished it. He
doubted Adam could hurt anyone, unless of course it was to help
someone he cared about.

By time Michael got back to his apartment
after dropping Adam off, Michael was exhausted from keeping up the
façade of normalcy.

Chapter Eight

Nicole headed into work. Emily greeted her
nicely like she always did. This morning was the first time Nicole
really noticed that Emily was a very pretty woman. She couldn’t
help but wonder if Michael had fucked Emily. She did her best not
to let her jealousy show.

She went to her office and put her stuff
away. Today she was going to court with Michael to watch him work.
She was really excited about this even though it was an armed
robbery case and pretty much cut and dry. Mr. Lee was looking at
seven to ten years in prison. Michael was going to try and get him
three years with two years probation.

She felt her body become aroused hearing
Michael’s footsteps. She waited a couple of minutes then headed
into his office.

“
Hello, Nicole,” Michael
said as he put some papers into his brief case.

Nicole saw the cup of coffee sitting on his
desk. Emily always had a cup of coffee waiting for him. Her
jealousy ignited.

“
What’s wrong,
Nicole?”

“
Can I ask you a
question?”

“
Of course you
can.”

“
Have you fucked Emily
before?”

“
Are you jealous of Emily,
Nicole?” Michael knew the answer to the question, she looked angry.
He had to admit she looked really cute when she was mad.

“
That depends on your
answer.”

“
No, I haven’t fucked Emily
before, nor would I want to. She is a married woman.”

“
Oh…I didn’t know
that.”

Michael stood and walked over to her. He
began undoing his tie. “And if I would have fucked her what would
you have done?” He moved closer to her.

“
I don’t know.” She knew
that look in his eyes. Her pussy moistened in anticipation. “Wait,”
she quickly said.

Michael started to laugh when she took off
her panties and tossed them aside.

“
I know you said not to
wear panties around you, but I would feel weird not wearing any to
work.”

“
That’s okay, Nicole. Now
come here.”

She moved closer to him.

He grabbed a hold of her and kissed her hard
then he pushed her down on to the chair. He grabbed her arms and
pulled them behind her. He used his tie to tie her arms
together.

“
Now, you are at my mercy.”
He walked around to the front of her. “Are you scared?”

“
Why would I be scared of
you? I know you won’t hurt me.”

Michael squatted down and looked her in the
eyes. “We haven’t known each other that long, Nicole. I could be a
serial killer.”

“
I trust you.”

“
You shouldn’t give your
trust away so easily.”

“
We are lovers why
shouldn’t I trust you.”

He ran his hands up her thighs moving her
dress. He pulled her a little forward and opened her legs wider. He
stuck two fingers up her pussy.

“
Mmm, you are nice and wet
for me.” He pulled his fingers out and stuck them in his mouth. She
tasted really good. He looked at her bound and helpless. For a
brief moment he pictured his countless victims bound before him.
The fear in their eyes, and yet looking at Nicole’s eyes there was
only arousal. She didn’t fear him at all. A part of him wanted to
see the fear in her eyes…he pushed those thoughts away.

He lowered his head down between her legs
and lapped at her pussy. She squirmed in the chair.

“
Michael…” she
moaned.

He lapped feverishly at her clit until he
felt it pulsate against his tongue. He raised his head up and
looked at her. There was a slight flushed to her cheeks. Her eyes
were filled with pleasure. He loved a woman’s eyes. Everything he
did to a woman showed in her eyes. Again the images of his past
victims begin to fill his thoughts. The need to see that look in
her eyes…he closed his eyes and centered himself.

He slowly opened his eyes and reached behind
her and undid the tie releasing her arms. He stood lifting her up
then bent her over the desk. He quickly undid his pants.

“
Wait,” she said
breathily.

She stood straight and turned around then
slowly came down to her knees before him. She grabbed his cock and
swallowed it to the hilt. She slowly sucked on him. He grabbed
handfuls of her hair as he began to thrust. He looked down and
watched his cock going in and out of her mouth.

“
Do I taste good,
woman?”

She moaned as she took his cock to the hilt
again.

“
I will take that as a yes.
You better slow down or I will come in your mouth. I want to fuck
you, woman.”

She sucked for a few more moments and let
his cock pop from her mouth. She slowly stood then turned around
and bent over the desk.

He grabbed her hips and drove his cock
deeply into her. He thrust hard and brutal. He didn’t have time to
leisurely fuck her. He kept thrusting until they both came. He
eased his cock from her and pulled up his pants.

“
Go freshen up in the
washroom.”

“
Yes, Sir.”

He smiled. God, he loved when she called him
Sir. When she was finished freshening up he went into the washroom
and did the same. He came back out. He scooped up her panties that
were on the floor. He tossed them at her.

“
You wouldn’t want to
forget those.”

They both chuckled as she put her panties
on.

“
We better head out before
we are late to court. This isn’t going to take long. You might want
to stay here.”

“
I want to see you in the
courtroom. Please let me go with you.”

“
Alright,
Nicole.”

Emily walked up to Michael. “Did you read
the newspaper? They caught that serial killer they were hunting.
They are bringing him back to Chicago for trial.”

“
I haven’t had a chance to
read the paper. Well, maybe that fucker will hire me to represent
him. That would be interesting. Emily, I was just telling Nicole
about your pretty wedding band set. Why not show it to
her.”

Nicole was taken aback for a moment and
quickly recovered when Emily proudly showed off her wedding band
set.

“
They are lovely. How long
have you been married?”

“
Going on ten
years.”

“
We better head to court,
Nicole. Emily, hold down the fort.”

“
Yes, Sir.”

Nicole followed Michael to his car. Once
they were inside she turned to him.

“
Why did you have Emily
show me her wedding ring? She will probably wonder what is up with
that.”

“
You were jealous of her
and I wanted to show you I spoke the truth about her being married.
And no, she won’t wonder anything. She will think it’s sweet that
you wanted to see her rings.”
