Lions,Tigers & Bears

I awoke to a beautiful morning...Olivia was sleeping...I kissed her...She opened her eyes for a minute and smiled at me and then drifted back  to sleep...She had been working hard...

Ginger Jones had been in custody for a week..Then she was released...She found out where Ralph Scallion was living and preceded to make his life a living hell...Constantly calling him...Begging him to come over and eventually threatening to expose their one night together to his girlfriend....She texted him photos of herself in her panties and bra and eventually nude...

He had to block her from his Facebook page... She was spotted in the parking lot of Bottom of The C and Josies and Roxys and Stoleys...Anyplace he was known to frequent and finally outside Minay's loft...She began texting photos of herself nude to Minay and sending her messages telling her about Ralph's night with her...

Within a week, Ralph's stuff was in Storage and he was staying over a friend's house...Minay had put him out!!  When Ginger showed up outside the friend's house...Ralph called the police and had her arrested again!

With Ginger back in Jail....I did a little snooping...First of all, Her name was not Ginger Jones....It was Corrine Rogers and she was from Norfolk ,Virginia...She graduated High School and attended a community college there for two years ,earning an associates degree...She did a stint in the Navy...Was generally discharged after three years...No reason given...

She got married to a man named Broderick Jones...She got pregnant, had a miscarriage....The marriage soon disolved...She enrolled in a culinary school in France...She excelled and graduated with honors...She cooked in several local restaraunts and bistros in the Virginia area...and earned enough money to pay off her loans...She married another man, James Nellis...She got pregnant again and suffered another miscarriage...This marriage also ended in divorce....

Sometime around this time, she matriculated to the Philly area...Took on a new name , a new identity and began cooking at local restaurants and bistros...

I couldn't help Ralph out...as far as his relationship...But at least I knew about this girl...She clearly needed help. She was scary! She was the boogie man under the bed!

II-

When I headed back to the office with my news on Stalker, Ginger Jones/Corrine Rogers....Olivia, Beverly and Josie were looking at an enlarged photo...It was the photo of Dashing and Handsome Young Minister Cecil Copeland...He was completely nude and fully erect!!! He had a goofy smile on his face...

"My lord....Look at him!  I think I'm going to join his church next Sunday!" said Josie

"I hear you girl...My..My..My. I know the sisters in his church got a little extra blessing last Sunday." exclaimed Beverly.

 Olivia cracked up...

I walked in just at that moment and peered at his photo....

"So this is what you guys do while I'm out working...Look at porn." I joked.

"Porn?? That's our client Donnie Ray." said Olivia...

"Our client? A porn star??" I joked....

I knew good and well who he was...Reverend Cecil Copeland had led many anti -police brutality marches...Had met with ADA Keith Wallace about cracking down on the drug dealers in the community, had been on T.V. on panels and was a man about town...He dressed immaculately and was listed as one of the city's up and comers...

"That's Reverend Dr. Cecil Copeland...My future husband." said Josie..

"I'm afraid not doll...He's taken..He's engaged.." said Olivia..

"I can see that.." I laughed...

"Oh hush up."said Olivia smiling at me and playfully smacking my shoulder.."He needs our help."she said.

"Our help? For what? To find his clothes??" I said. Beverly busted out laughing..

"Auntay, come get your husband!" she laughed..

"I can't do a thing with that man." laughed Olivia...

I whispered in her ear..

''And that's a good thing right?"

"Yes lord!" said Olivia, whispering back...and giggling...

"Noo....Somebody is sending this uh...selfie out to all of the women of the church...including his fiance and threatening to send it to the deacons and the board..." said Beverly...

"So they want money?" I asked...

"No...it isn't clear what they or whoever wants....They haven't said yet...but they have been communicating to the Reverend here for a meeting...He's been afraid to communicate with whoever is sending this selfie."said Olivia..

"Trust me...they want something...And I think he knows who it is and what they want...After all , that's him in the photo and somebody ,presumably a woman had to have taken it...Have him come down here Livy and bring his phone...I know a few people in local law enforcement...I can find out who is sending this..."I said..

"I'll call him...What did you find out about Ginger Jones?"asked Olivia...

"For one thing..Her name is Corrine Rogers and she's from Virginia...Been married twice, two miscarriages,two divorces, a stint in the Navy and an honor graduate of a culinary school in Paris..."I said.

"She's also back in jail."said Beverly..."Ralph had her arrested for violating the restraining order."she continued...

"For the time being....but she won't be there forever...We've got to figure out what if anything we can do when she gets out. How is Ralph?" I said.

"He feels just awful...Minay put him out, She saw the nude photos Ginger sent in his phone...I told him to delete those photos..Minay put him out and she won't take his calls...He was lucky enough to get his old apartment back...No one had moved in it yet....Bev and I went by there yesterday to see him, help him get settled...He had been staying with a friend for about a week.."said Olivia..

"You're such a good lawyer Livy...You give your clients that personal touch." I joked..

''Ralph's an old friend...He's a dog....but a friend never the less...Anybody that can cook as good as he does can't be all bad." said Olivia...

"He never tried to put the moves on you?" I asked..

"Ralph? Noooo...He's like my big brother....Always looked out for me when we were kids..He looked out for Bev too! And like my biological brother, who you've met...He's always had an eye for the ladies...That's his weakness." she said.

"That's every man's weakness." I said.

Olivia laughed..

"That's so true...That's so true on so many levels." she said.

III-

A few days later on Sunday... Olivia and I attended Copeland's church...Amazing what you can learn just from standing and listening to people talk....

I had been looking into this...My investigation had revealed this much...Cecil Copeland had hired a woman...A Lucy Luckette six years ago as his Executive Secretary...Despite the fact that she didn't have any credentials...What she did have was a killer body , a babyish voice and a way in the bedroom that drove the pastor wild...He let go of three employees so he could hire her at the salary she demanded...

IRS records and church records at least bared that bit of talk out....The pastor and this woman carried on what they must have thought was a clandestine love affair for six years....I checked the church account and his credit cards....There were numerous hotel expenses and weekend getaways...Expensive gifts...unexplained expenses...and what have you...

Then , about a year and a half ago...Reverend Dr. Copeland met a woman at a Church Convention...A woman who took his breath away literally...Her name was Coretta ,Coretta Williams...She was pretty, educated and sophisticated....He fell head over heels in love....He ended his relationship with Lucy Luckette abruptly and told her  that her services to the church was no longer needed...She sued him and the church....They were still in litigation... I knew this much when we walked into his church that Sunday....Standing and listening to people talk before and after service confirmed it...

Days before, I took his phone and spoke to a few of my contacts in local law enforcement...It took me no time at all to find out who sent the selfie of a naked and erect Cecil Copeland....Who else???..Lucy Luckette!! She was no where near as savy as criminals and hackers who knew how to hide their identities better.

No surprise there....Now all we had to do was get Reverend Dr.Copeland to come clean...I'm certain he knew why she was attempting to extort him...It wasn't hard for me to figure out,knowing what I now knew....I attempted to try and talk to him after service, but he basically blew me off...He and his fiance jumped in his car and pulled off...

Later at at the office I said to Olivia-

"Olivia...Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned...Nothing is scarier ,not lions ,tigers or bears than a wronged woman...We got em in both of these cases..."I said. 

"True..Reverend Copeland will be here tomorrow." said Olivia... "Lions,Tigers and bears..oh my!" was all she would comment on concerning my wronged woman statement...I just looked at her and laughed...

It was Sunday...the Office was empty....

"This is nice...We aren't usually in here on a Sunday" I said....

"You want some coffee? I've got a pot on in the kitchen."she said and headed back to the kitchen area..I followed her...

I pulled her to me and kissed her softly...

"I want you." I said..

"Mmmm, nothing mysterious about that." she said , smiling at me....

"You know....We've had some pretty sleazy cases lately...Ralph Scallion and his one night stand that turned into an obsession....The cross dressing judge and now the right and erect Rev."I said.

Olivia cracked up laughing...

"You wrong for that Donnie Ray..Right and erect rev...Hahahahaha" she said...

I dimmed the lights and pulled her to me...

"All this salacious sex talk has kind of turned me on.." I said...

She kissed me softly....

"Me too." she said...

I ran my hands up her dress and squeezed her buttocks...and rubbed her legs....

"Really" I asked......

She kissed me slowly and softly...

"Yeah..."she said...

"Mmmmmmmm.." I moaned..and kissed her softly again......

"Let's go upstairs." she said ,rubbing her index finger across my lips..

"Bev will probably stay over Nelson's today"I said in between kisses...

We kissed some more in the foyer... I turned the lights out and lifted Olivia gently up on the sink and continued to kiss her...

 "Upstairs we'll be more comfortable...This sink top is hard..." she said...

"So am I" I said trying to devour Olivia's sweet and soft lips...

"Ouuuu, you are soo naughty.." she said in between kisses.

Eventually we stopped and  I followed her upstairs to our place... I grabbed her and pulled her to me and kissed her again in the doorway...

"Let me open the door....My, you really are turned on by all of this ratchetness."she said and busting out laughing...

"I'm turned on by you..."I said.

Olivia opened the door and ran her finger across my lips...

"Lions ,Tigers and Bears, oh myyyy" she said seductively and kissed me some more..

We undressed each other...slowly...I unzippered her dress and she slowly slipped out of it...I watched as she hung it up....and walked back over to me...in just panty hose and her bra,...She unbuckled my trousers and I unsnapped her bra...

I put my arms around her and kissed her neck and behind her earlobes....Olivia and I were both breathing hard and fast and I worked my way from her breasts to her neck and to her lips...I walked her over to the bed ..and continued kissing her...She peeked at my erection again and shook her head...

''Wowzers! look at you!! " she said. I smiled sheepishly....

"Look at YOU!" I said, helping her out of the rest of her clothing..She giggled and kissed me softly again...

"You look so devilish at times like this.." she said... I smiled and continued kissing her..

"I feel devilish.." I said...

I layed her across the bed and slowly entered her......She was warm and wet and I was more than ready to make love to her..but then..wasn't I always?....

We started out slow, then began to move faster and faster...The bed began to squeak furiously and the headboard began to slam against the wall...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhh, Ouuuuuuuuuuuu baby....Ouuuuu, Donnie Ray...ouuuuu" she moaned...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm, you feel so good girl." I moaned... as I thrusted faster and faster inside of her....She was so round, so soft, so warm....

She wrapped her legs around me so she could take all of me in and I continued....as she moaned and groaned...We slowed it down some and got into a slow rhythm...

"Ouuuuu,ummmmm, I love you so much Donnie Ray." she moaned..

"I love you too Olivia..."I moaned..nearly out of breath as we continued to make sweet love...

"These past few days really has turned you on.."she said as we continued to make sweet love...

"Yessssssssssssssssss.." I moaned...

She was so soft and smelled so good and her kisses felt as soft as butter...I found myself unable to stop...She moaned and moved her head from side to side..

Four hours slipped by like minutes...

A soft rain began to pour as we continued making love....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....There goes that rain again..." she said....

"It's because we are so hot together.." I said in between kisses...

"Yeah...that must be it."said Olivia laughing..

The rain began to pour heavily...We were both oblivious to the world outside of us...

IV-

At a Hotel on Atlantic City's boardwalk.. A phone rings...

 Revereand Dr. Cecil Copeland answers the phone...His fiance, Coretta Williams is in the shower...He is dressed only in his boxers....He looks at the silhouette of Coretta's sexy body in the shower and smiles sheepishly...

"Hello" he says...

"Reverend...Sermon just ended a few hours ago and already you're in a hotel in Atlantic City??My,My ,My..you don't waste time do you?" came a voice...

"Who is this?" he said..

"I'm going to hang up...There is a video coming to your phone...You should see it."came the mysterious voice..

"What is this?" he bellowed..

A video appeared on his phone... It was him!!!!He was standing in the kitchen of an apartment..nude,fully erect...A woman,Lucy Luckette was on her knees...she had his fully erect penis in her mouth and her head was going back and forth...Another nude woman entered the kitchen...She kissed him fully on the lips...They both smiled sheepishly at each other...And continued to kiss each other passionately...

He was clearly enjoying every moment of it...moaning with delight....

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...Ohh..ohhhh my godddddddddddddddddd!" he cried aloud
and exploded like a gusher...."Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmph"

Both women laughed....

He smiled sheepishly...

The video ended...This had occurred about a year ago....He had no idea he was being recorded...If his congregation saw him in a film with Lucy and one of her girlfriends...He was sunk...He knew it..The naked still photo was bad enough,but at least he was in that alone!

The phone rang again....

"WHO IS THIS?" he yelled...

"Who I am is not important..a friend of mine wants you to end your relationship with Coretta Williams and rehire her back at the church...with back pay in retro...You've got a week to do this or the next person to see this video will be Coretta Williams and then the Deacon Board..."

"Lucy put you up to this!!!" he screamed...

The person on the other end, a male who's voice he did not recognize.. laughed then hung up...

He stared out his hotel window at the ocean...

"Oh lord.." he said as the sweat ran down his brow..
