It was perfect.She came a second, then a third time this way, and he rode her ass like she’d never had sex before.Even as he fucked her, he smacked her bottom hard enough that she had tears in her eyes.But it was the best pain/pleasure she’d ever had.When she came a final time, she let herself drift away and hoped that he’d keep her safe from the bad guys while she gathered her strength again.
Waking up, she was in bed the right way and covered up.Penrod was beside her with his snores; she knew that he was sleeping.Trying not to cry out when she moved, her bottom was about as sore as it had ever been, and she needed to go to the bathroom.Getting up, no part of her body was pain-free, she went to the bathroom, then washed her hands.
All along her ribs were bruises from him taking her.She had a couple on her thighs, too.Making her way back to the bedroom, she was surprised to see that Penrod was sitting on the side of the bed.He asked her if she was all right.
“I’m not sure.How are you?”He turned and grinned at her.“I see.Well, I’ve been slightly abused.Not that I didn’t love it, but I’m going to have to explain some of these if I ever end up at the doctor’s office.”
“I’ve never felt better.However, I’ve not been up yet, so who knows if I can make it to the bathroom or not.My feet are tingling as well as the back of my eyes feel like I’ve shorted something out in my brain.”She giggled.“I knew you’d find my pain funny.But you’re right, it was a blast.”
When she got back into the bed, she realized that it was a mess and decided that it had to be remade or they’d never get any rest.When Penrod stood up, he cried out that his feet were on fire and that his body wasn’t going to make it to the bathroom.She just laughed as she made the bed for them, and when he returned, walking a little better, she was already in bed waiting for him.
“I’m having a brain fog or something.Did you say that the cook was off tonight?She just started yesterday.”She told him what she’d done.“I’m betting she knows what we were up to as well.I have to go and take care of my weapon.Will you be all right here by yourself?”
“Yes, I’m going to catch some sleep then try and top what we did earlier.”He moaned and told her that he was going to need some recuperation time.“You get your weapon.I’m sorry about dropping it.I wasn’t thinking about you being armed when I was trying to get you undressed.”
“It’s fine.I’m going now.”But he didn’t move.“I’m going to get up now and make sure to put it in the safe as soon as I think I can handle the stairs.Why did we buy a house with so many stairs in it?”
“I didn’t.You did.Want me to go get it for you?I’ve seemed to catch my second wind.”He stood up and left her in the bed.It was funny that he was so sore.So was she, but she was hiding it better.Getting up to get herself a clean gown, she wondered why she was bothering when she decided to sleep in the nude from now on.It sure made things easier when she wanted sex.
She must have dozed off because when she woke, not only was Penrod in the bed beside her, but the room was bright with light.Getting up was harder this time, but she managed to get the curtains closed and the room just the darkness that she liked.Closing her eyes, she snuggled up under Penrod’s chin and fell back to sleep.
The next time she woke up, Penrod wasn’t in bed with her, but she could hear the shower running.Getting up, making the bed about half-assed, she went to the bathroom to get into the stallwith him.He smiled at her and told her that he didn’t have time for shower sex because he got called out.
“A homicide?”He simply nodded and told her he didn’t know when he’d be back.“I’m sure I can find something for me to do.I might even take a bath so that I’m not as sore when I’m getting up.”
“Good idea.I think that this is a good reason to get a hot tub.I know that they can relax you to the point of being limp.What do you say?”She agreed with him, and when he got out of the shower, she finished up so that she could be with him when he went to the kitchen.
Hurrying through her getting dressed, she was in the kitchen just as he was getting his bowl of cereal.She’d forgotten that the cook didn’t come in until noon on Sundays and was disappointed they couldn’t have a big breakfast together.
“It’s just as well.I don’t know what I’m going to find when I get there.”She had not thought of him being sick when he saw a body.Or perhaps that’s not what he meant.Either way, she was going to remember that for the future.“If you’d go over to Audon’s home and get his mail around one, I’d appreciate it.He has a lot of equipment in his shed, and I don’t know that someone might get into it and steal some things.That’s why he has me picking up his mail.”
“I’ll get it for him.”She ate her bowl of cereal and decided that she didn’t care for it.It was too plain, and there wasn’t enough sugar on it.If she had to eat it, she wanted it to put her in a sugar coma afterwards.She was going to be a terrible influence on her children; she had only just realized.
After Penrod left, she did take a hot bath.Her body was sore in strange places, and she wasn’t sure she liked having to limp everywhere.But she’d do it again and again if she could.Penrod had made her feel like she was a woman, and she’d never felt that way before.Her new cell phone was ringing when she got out of the tub.
“Why am I still in jail?If anyone should be in jail, it should be you.”Her mother.“I want you to come down here and demand that they let me out.I have things to do, and they’re not getting done with you having me locked up like I’m some sort of criminal.”
“You are a criminal.And I didn’t put you in jail.From what I’ve heard, the neighbor demanded that the officer arrest you.”She told her that was a lie.“Whatever.I don’t care anymore what you do.I’m going to come to your hearing and see what kind of other things I can get you to stay in there with.”
“You’ll come with bail money is what you’re going to do.I’ve had enough of you fucking around with me.I will tell you what you’re going to be doing, even if I have to buy myself a gun and use it on you.”She’d wondered if she realized that the conversations were recorded and asked her about that.“They’d better not be recording my conversations with you.I have to get out of here so that I can stop you from doing something stupid.How much money do you have?”
“I married into money, so I’m rich as I can be.”She told her to be serious.“I am.I won’t tell you how easy it was to keep it from you.But I’m a very wealthy woman.”She told her to bring her checkbook because it was going to cost her to get her out of her hair.“I have a better plan.And don’t call me again, mother.I’m sick of having to take care of you when you should have been taking care of me all this time.”
“We’ll see about that.”She simply closed the connection and put her phone on her dresser.She knew that she’d not be able to call her back because she was only allowed one phone call a day.And she’d used hers up on calling her.Calling the stationhouse, she told them not to allow her to call her again or she’d be taking names.She had no idea what that meant, but they seemed to understand that she was serious.They told her that she’d not be calling the house again, nor her cell phone.
If nothing else came out of this, she knew that she’d not be getting phone calls from her mother anymore.It was bad enough that she had to threaten the police department over her calls, but she didn’t want to have to sue someone to keep her out of her way.

Penrod was on duty for fourteen hours when there was a confession.It had been twice in a row now, and he didn’t think they would hold out for a third time.The woman had killed her husband by tossing him out of their car, then torching his body with gasoline.She’d found out that he’d been having anaffair with his secretary and decided that his death was better than a divorce.
“This one is for the books.Why didn’t she just tell him that she wasn’t going to put up with him having an affair?It sure would have made our jobs easier.”He told Joey they’d be out of work if things were that easy.“I guess so.I heard tell that the girlfriend has been beaten to shit.You think she did that, too?”
“She didn’t mention it, but I’d have no doubt believing that she’d done her some harm too.All those lives are ruined just because some shit couldn’t keep his dick in his pants.”He laughed a little.“I must be really tired if I’m making jokes like that.I’m headed home.I have to get up in the morning and finish the paperwork on this one.”
“Don’t forget that your mother-in-law’s court hearing is tomorrow afternoon.I know that you and your new missus want to be there.”He said he’d forgotten about that.“I’m glad to remind you then.I’ll see you when I see you.”
“All right.”Going home, he was dragging.As soon as he got in the door, he put his gun in the safe and headed up to bed.He was so tired that he wasn’t even hungry.Going to bed, he was glad that Lori hadn’t waited up for him and had gone to bed on time.He could tell that she’d been crying and held her in his arms.She was the most precious thing in the world to him, and he couldn’t get enough of her.Sleep came easy for him.
