Taking The Bait

Early the next morning... Beverly was getting dressed...Nelson was sitting on the bed looking at her...and smiling..

"What are you smiling about?" asked Beverly...Who was sitting on the side of the bed, combing her hair....

"You....You're just so sexy and cute at the same time.." said Nelson...

"Thank you baby...Come here...Look at this.." said Beverly as she pulled her panty drawer open...

''See? I've told you...I've got too much stuff...I'm going to have to throw some things away if you want to keep buying for me..." she said..

"Hmmmm, have I seen you in these yellow ones?" asked Nelson...

"You've seen me in everything....Twice maybe...I can't believe I'm having this conversation with you..." said Beverly, laughing at the absurdity of it all.. She sat on Nelson's lap and gently kissed him...

 "Thank you for letting me actually sleep last night baby...I promise I'll make it up to you tonight.." she said.

"It was all good.. Best sleep I've had in awhile.. Just being close to you.." he said.

''Awwww" she said as they continued kissing..

While a floor up...Olivia was also putting the finishing touches on getting dressed...

''Last night was nice!" she said to me as I zipped her dress up..

"It was..."I said.....We had had a nice candlelight dinner and some wine and had gone to sleep in each others arms on the couch!~

Olivia leaned into me....and put her arms around me...

" We could use a few more nights like that...but not too many....I still like getting all hot and bothered with my guy..." she said..

"Oh most definitely....And your guy likes getting hot and bothered with you too" I said and kissed her on the forehead...

"What did I tell you about forehead kisses?...I hate em." she said smiling...

"Okay, but if we really start kissing...Our breakfast guests might not make it here.."I joked...

''Oh hush up silly and just kiss me.. " laughed Olivia...

We kissed passionately.....


II-

Within minutes... Beverly and Nelson joined us upstairs as Olivia served us Seasoned Shrimp and Grits, Orange Juice and Coffee for breakfast...and hot sausages...

"Liv, this food is delicious "said Nelson as he gulped down his food..

"Thank you Nelson...Donnie Ray and his sister taught me how to prepare this the last time we were in New Orleans.." said Olivia..

"This is good Auntay.." said Beverly, who remembered how Olivia used to fix her breakfast when she was in school...

"Today I'm going to interview that model, Portia Evans...Can Shortcake come with me or do you need her for something?" I asked.

"She can come with you...We've pretty much got our strategy together if this comes to a lawsuit.."said Olivia..

"If I wasn't meeting with a client...I'd go myself.."laughed Nelson...

Just then,our doorbell rang....It was Josie and Bridget...

 "Ouuu something smells good...MMMM."said Josie..

"Yesss.Got enough for two more?" asked Bridget.

"Sure sit down, grab some seats...We have coffee over there and some bagels as well..." said Olivia...

"Liv your place is beautiful...."said Bridget...

While we all ate...I showed Bridget the files I had made on all of her former employees ...Janitors,members of the cleaning crew from all four of her locations , Michelle Curry, Felicia Salmon as well...

"None of these people had anything to do with what's going on...Which Leaves Rod Tazzie...Who hasn't answered any of my calls ,nor been around his house or studio when I've gone there..Brenda Montgomery,Portia Evans and of course Lucy Luckenbill...I don't expect Lucy Luckenbill to be of any help...but Portia Evans and or Brenda Montgomery is possibly your weak link." I said.

"Rod and Brenda have been with me since the beginning...I can't imagine either of them betraying me...I would be so hurt if I found out that they were working for Lucy..." said Bridget..

"Bridget did you know that Lucy and Rod were married?  Before either of them worked for you.."asked Beverly...

"WHAT? MARRIED?? HE NEVER MENTIONED A WIFE TO ME!! NEVER!!!" said Bridget...

"It's True."said Olivia, who passed Bridget a copy of the Marriage License of Richard Roderick Tazzie and Lucille Miranda Luckenbill...  "They were married for five years...No children..She was engaged to another man...Robert Pike..when she met Rod Tazzie and broke the engagement and married him...I spoke with him yesterday...He's since remarried and has 6 kids...He's not worried about either of them." Olivia countered...

''Well I'll be damned...All that time they worked together with me..I never knew...Nobody knew.."said Bridget..

"Somebody knew....That's how I found out..Felicia Salmon knew..She told me..She told me that Rod rushed her resume along..He fast tracked her so she would get the job..."I said.

"And how did she know that?" asked Bridget...

"Pillow talk Bridget!!!...He was sleeping with Felicia Salmon and Michelle Curry as well as you Bridget...He was a player.." said Beverly... She passed Bridget a copy of the Divorce papers for Richard Roderick Tazzie and Lucy Luckenbill Tazzie.

" Both girls told me that he had nothing to do with the takeover...and that Lucy, his ex-wife had no idea he was sleeping with either of them...They apparently didn't know about each other either...Each woman thought they were the only one.."I said.

"Oh My God...What a Dog! They divorced just months before me and him hooked up the first time..I can't believe he wouldn't mention that he was recently divorced...Oh My God...He was such a hound..Can you believe it?" said Bridget...

"Girl,I was married to one...Wonder if he's a cousin of Elwood."said Olivia..

Beverly laughed....

"He is much smarter....You never found panties and bras lying around did you Bridget?...." she asked.

"I work in a lingerie store Bev..they might have been...I wouldn't have known...."said Bridget...

We all busted out laughing...

In all fairness ,if he was divorced...He didn't really have to mention it...At least I didn't think so, but women think differently.

"Tell me about Portia and Brenda Montgomery...."I said.

Portia wasn't working there at the time..This was all before she arrived and Brenda was and is my most trusted Lieutenant...She's married...As straight as an arrow..." said Bridget.

"Well I'm visiting Portia today and then finding Mrs. Montgomery..."I said.

III-

Beverly and I drove to the Chinatown studio apartment of Model Portia Evans...She was a sexy woman with long flowing hair and a body built for sin as they say....

As we entered the studio, she was in Black sheer lingerie, having her photo taken for a new campaign ,I suspected.

I was glad Beverly was with me... She was being photographed by a man named Berry Montgomery, the husband of Brenda Montgomery....

When she saw us she called an end to the session...Berry "Bud" Montgomery had four assistants who were helping him set the shoot up...

"Hi Ms. Evans...I am Donnie Ray Alexander...I'm a Private Investigator....I work for the law firm of Alexander and West..."I said.

''And I'm Attorney ,Beverly West." said Beverly....

"Am I in trouble?" she asked..

"No, but I want you to look at some photos..." I said.

"That's me....I was wearing the uh Spring Line..." she said..

"Now look at these photos.From your competitor-FANNIES PANTIES said Beverly...

"They're almost exactly the same...just a few minor changes...WOW!   Oh Wait a minute...You don't think that I? Noooooooooooooooooo  ....." she said.

"We aren't accusing, but we had to ask...The owner of Lady Chatterlies Lover, Panties and Bras for the Discriminating Woman and Simply Underwear believes that FANNIES PANTIES has stolen several of their designs and ideas..." I said.

"These are all a guy named Rod Tazzie's designs....He wouldn't do anything like that....He loves Ms. Jones...He idolizes her......" said Portia..

"Anybody else there that might do something like this? " asked Beverly...

Portia looked around...

"Hey Bud...could you run out and bring me a coffee?" asked Portia..

''Sure Doll."he said.

She whispered to us...

"I didn't want to say anything around Bud...But his wife....Ms. Brenda..has had the hots for Rod Tazzie since he came there...Always fetching his coffee....Laughing at his corny jokes....Just fawning over him...Wearing low cut blouses....Short skirts.....Bending over so he can get a good look at the goodies...Talking all breathy around him...Just making a fool out of herself over him and he barely noticed her.." she said.

"So her and Tazzie are an item huh?" I asked..

"Nooo..He can't stand her...Though I think he did sleep with her once...He told me she's so annoying and obvious that she's not sexy at all...He uh actually is uh interested in me...He's asked me out several times..but I've turned him down..I have a boyfriend...and it's starting to get serious...I had to block his number...to keep him from calling me." she said.

"Did you know that Ms. Luckenbill, the head of FANNIE'S PANTIES used to be Rod Tazzie's wife?" asked Beverly...

"Really?? He never mentioned ever having been married...Wowwwwwwwwwwwww....That might explain a lot...Wowwwwwwwwwwwww!" she said.

"So uh Mr. Montgomery has no idea his wife has the hots for another man huh?" I asked.

"No..He's a real sweet guy too...He deserves better than her...but he's so clueless.." she said as Bud Montgomery returned and passed her tumbler of coffee...

"Thank you for your time Ms. Evans.." I said as Beverly and I left...

Beverly looked at me..

"Cross her off the list right?" she said.

"Yeah...It's not her...Which leaves Tazzie himself and Brenda Montgomery...."I said.

"Auntay is meeting us for lunch....We might as well stay down here."said Beverly...

Olivia met Beverly and I an hour later at a tony Chinese Bistro in Chinatown...

''So we can cross Portia Evans off the list huh?" said Olivia..

"Yeah, she has no past history, no beef and a quick look at her financials shows no recent or rapid cash flow...Plus I checked out all of the places she claimed to be on the release dates of the Spring Line and last years Fall Line by checking her credit card and debit card activity...She alibis out..." I said.

"Ouuu, all this cop talk is getting 'Sexy Auntie' hot." joked Olivia...

"Ewwww stop you two.... You two can go make a baby later..." joked Beverly as the three of us laughed and enjoyed the hot steamy and delicious Chinese cuisine..

IV-

TWO DAYS LATER-

Rod Tazzie was enjoying a meal with his ex-wife, Lucy Luckenbill..at a tony Health Food Bistro.

''Since when did you start eating healthy?" asked Rod Tazzie..

"About a year now....I ride my bike and I work out at the gym..I eat Chicken and Fish..No Red meat" she said..

"Yeah...I can see ...You're nice and toned...You look good Lucy.." he said.

"Thank you Rod...." she said.

As she ate she said..

"That Holiday Bra and Panty set went out today..."she said and showed him the spread..

"WOW!  Almost my design to a tee...Ours isn't due to come out until the end of the week..."he laughed..

"I'd say that uh...You guys are stealing from us.."laughed Lucy Luckenbill..."Bridget will be going crazy.." she laughed..

"Okay ,now cool it for awhile...I don't like the idea that she's got a Lawyer, two lawyers at that repping her and a private investigator...This Olivia Bennett-Alexander worries me, She and her niece are pretty heavy hitters.Her husband, the P.I. went to see Portia a few days ago......"said Rod..

"Oh..and how do you know that? You following her?" asked Lucy...

"No...I got a little Private Investigator of my own...Brenda Montgomery....

She tells me everything..I don't even have to pay her..Her husband is the staff photographer...He told her that a lawyer named Beverly West and A P.I. named Donnie Ray Alexander  paid Portia a visit...

Beverly West is Olivia Bennett-Alexander's niece...and Donnie Ray Alexander...The P.I.  is Olivia's husband.. .

Very valuable information and like I said..I didn't pay her nothin.."laughed Rod..

"Not in money anyway right?" laughed Lucy...

"Nahhh, I don't give her nothing..." laughed Rod...

"Liar..I know you gave her some of that long dong you got in your pants...That's the only reason she's acting like that...I know it..I've been where she's been...It must have driven her crazy..Got that poor woman all turned out....She'll do anything for you and she doesn't know a damn thing...she's a good source of information to have...Keep turning her out..." she laughed..

"I couldn't turn you out could I Lucy...??" he asked seductively...

"No..Not anymore..."she said.

He reached under the table and slipped his hand softly up her dress...and began rubbing her legs..

"What are you doing? Move your hands.." she said sternly...

He softly yanked on the waistband of her pantyhose..

She removed his hands..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuu, cut it out Rod!" she cautioned..

"I want some Lucy....I've helped you make a lot of money at a lot of personal expense to me..." he said.

"I've paid you handsomely..."she retorted...

"I WANT SOME...AND YOU WANT TO GIVE ME SOME TOO!~" he said sternly...

"Go ahead Rod..It's not happening...This is about money...I told you that...Calm your hormones down...and stay focused..."she said.

"Like I said...Lucy... I WANT SOME...AND YOU WANT TO GIVE ME SOME TOO!~" he saidstaring her straight in the eyes and not blinking..

An hour later,they were in Lucy's tony Loft...

They were in Lucy's bedroom...Rod was slipping her pantyhose off...along with the rest of her clothing...They were kissing passionately in the  middle of the living room floor..

"Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh Rod, I can't stand you....I hate you..." she protested as he climbed up on the bed and entered her slowly and softly.....

Soon their kisses were even more passionate.... and soon they were on the bed...kissing and slobbering over each other and breathing heavy...
"Ouuu "Rod you make me sick..I can't stand your trifling ass" she moaned...

He slowly entered into her and began breathing heavily...he slobbered all over her huge breasts and Lucy began to move up and down on him...

 "Ummm Rod...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu my goodness, ouuuuu you feel good..baby...Whooooooo Lawd Rod...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuu"she cooed..


"Ohhhhhhhhhh..awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!Lucy so do you..Lawd,so do you...I've missed you so much...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" he moaned..


"Ouuuuu,I've missed this sooo much.." she moaned.

The bed began to move up and down, the headboard began to slam against the wall...

 What followed was Six hours of hot sweaty and sweet lovemaking....Rod felt as if he was losing his mind...So did Lucy...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.." he moaned...

He lifted Lucy up and began to thrust inside of her mightily...

 ''Wooooooooooooooooo..what has gotten into you Rod???..Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu my lawddd....OOOOOU! OHH MY GOD! OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"she squealed..

"I missed you so much Lucy..." he moaned..

"I've missed you too!" she said, crying...It had been over 7 years since she had last slept with Rod...After they divorced..it took her close to two years to get over him and to stop thinking about him....A chance meeting had her cooking up this plan and getting him to agree to help her...

She knew Rod, she knew that the only reason he was going along with this was because he wanted to get her in the bed..but she had told herself that she wasn't going to go there with him...not ever...

She had been so strong...until now!

  Lucy began to climax....She was shaking ,sweat and tears was running down her cheeks and Rod himself began to climax....Harder than he had in a long while...

Within a few minutes they were both standing in the middle of the floor ,kissing passionately, Lucy softly stroking his penis...He was shaking and throbbing....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.."he moaned..


"OH MY GOD..YOU ARE STILL HARD AND SO HUGE...WOOOOOOU!"she moaned...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Lucy....." he moaned..

 "Ouuu "Rod you make me sick..I can't stand your trifling ass" she moaned...

"Yeah,I know.."he said...

They wound up back in the bed, under the sheets, making sweet, tender love....Rod was going slower and being more tender than he was known for...Lucy was smiling so sweetly, even she couldn't believe it..then she began crying, and sweating profusely...

Two or three more hours of sweet lovemaking continued...Lucy had one of the most intense orgasms she'd had in close to three years...So Did Rod...

"LAWDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!" he howled as his feet curled...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ........myyyyyyyyyyyy goodnesss...wouuuuuuu!" cooed Lucy as she climaxed hard....

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmph." he moaned...cumming so hard, he felt as if he were being drained of all bodily fluids...


"Ohhhhh god that was good.." he said...kissing her gently...


"Yes..it was...but I shouldn't have done this...I told myself I wasn't going to sleep with you ever again....You have to leave..." she whispered as she softly rubbed his penis....and then kissed him again.....Again he came so hard he couldn't believe himself....


"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." he moaned..."I aint goin nowhere ,until I'm ready..." he said...

Olivia and Beverly sat outside Lucy's loft with me and watched and listened to the entire thing

on a live feed that was being recorded...

"Well we know that these two are in bed...Literally....So if there is a conspiracy...Here it is.." I said.

"I don't even want to know how you got inside her loft and placed these micro cameras....But..now we know that these two are more than likely the conspirators..What about Brenda Montgomery?"said Olivia..

 "That's the thing Auntay..Donnie Ray knows that none of this footage can be used in court...We never intended for it to be...But if Brenda Montgomery isn't a co-conspirator..We do know that she carries a torch for Rod Tazzie and he uses her to spy for him if nothing more..."said Beverly ,who showed Olivia a zip drive....

I had never expected these two to have sex....I just hoped to catch the two together or hear them on the phone discussing this...This was even better than I'd hoped..

"What do you plan to do with this?" asked Olivia..

"Mrs. Brenda Montgomery is going to get something sent to her at her job in the mail...marked confidential...If my suspicion is right... Once she sees this...She may just shift sides...And if she does...We don't need to use this footage...She's our witness.." I said.

"I wasn't about this at first either Auntay...but when Donnie Ray broke it down to me the way he just did...It made sense... She's a woman in love....And we all know about a woman scorned...Hell hath No Fury."said Beverly..

Olivia looked at Beverly and me and smiled and shook her head..

"Right now ...I am as ashamed and proud of you both as I've ever been ."she said and we all laughed out loud.

V-

The next day at Bridget's store...Bridget called Brenda to the side..

"Hey girl...Something came for you in the mail..." she said.

"For me?  Here?" said Brenda..

"Yeah....Hey look...I have to go out, run some errands...Hold all my calls okay and if you see Rod, tell him ,I need his designs for the next campaign ASAP okay?" said Bridget as she left..

"Okay Ms. Bridget." she said as she watched Bridget leave...

She opened the envelope..

"A zip drive...and this envelope was addressed to me... Here!! and it's marked confidential...Wonder what this could be?" she asked..
