Love & Law in Seattle

I had never been to Seattle before...None of us..Olivia, Beverly, Josie and Nelson had ever been either...This was a first for all of us...

 ''I knew...I knew the night I met you that if I hooked up with you...I'd be going places..."I whispered to Olivia ,who was sitting next to me on the plane...

 "Places besides my bedroom?  Why I declare Mistah Alexander...." she said in a phony southern accent, that made us both laugh......

and then gently kiss each other..

 Beverly smiled...

"This is so exciting...Seattle...I can't believe it." said Beverly...

 "Me neither..." said Josie.. "I hope they have some nice clubs and restaurants.." she continued..

"Oh I'm sure they do...Big City like this!" said Nelson...

Olivia and I were still kissing passionately...

 
Paying little to no attention to the rest of the conversation...

Nelson looked at us and smiled, then looked at Beverly....

''Uh...do they give you any ideas Bev?" he asked..

Beverly looked at Nelson...

"If you want a kiss...just ask me...You don't have to beat around the bush...and try to be subtle.." said Beverly...

"Smart Aleck!" said Nelson...

"Goofball..." she retorted...before she took him in her arms and they began kissing even more passionately than Olivia and I...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmm I love you so much.." said Beverly...

"I love you tooo.." moaned Nelson in between kisses...

Poor Josie...She took this time to pull out her tablet and facetime her boyfriend, Paris ,back at home...

He had driven us to the airport....And they had been 45 minutes late picking us up...I understood why...

Like I said...We had never been to Seattle before...

II-

Margaret met us at the Airport....as promised...

''Wow Liv, thanks...I figured since it's five people , you'd have a lot more luggage...You just brought your clothes?"she asked..

"We had our equipment shipped here a day earlier...Could you take us by storage to pick it up?" asked Beverly....

"Oh Sure sure...How was the flight?"she asked..

"Smooth as silk...." said Olivia...

''Then let me get you guys situated..." she said.

The Five of us and our luggage got in her SUV and we took off ...We had had Law Books and Laptops and Tablets and smartphones shipped here from Philly a few days before... We wanted a set up comparable to what we had in Washington, D.C.

But when we arrived at the Hotel...Some of us were less than enthused...

Our Hotel was on the waterfront...On the outside..It looked like just what it had once been ...A Warehouse...

Olivia peered over at her niece, her office manager and Nelson and offered a sympathetic smile..

To say they looked underwhelmed was an understatement...

"I know what you're all thinking, but this is a nice hotel...I did my research...Trust me...wait until you guys get inside...Plus..with the kind of case we are handling...I didn't want to be in the middle of town near all the media.." said Olivia..

"It's that big huh? A 15 year old closed case?" I asked...

Margaret answered for me..

"Yes it is...Ethan...I mean District Attorney Ethan Bell is up for re-election next year....He just started the Conviction Integrity Unit...A Unit staffed with Attorneys ,Investigators and Forensic specialists to review cases, Cases we feel were unfairly prosecuted..." she said..

"I get it...I do...and this one in particular was prosecuted by the guy who is running against him, Former District Attorney, Runyan Gibbons...If you guys re-open this case and drop charges it looks political...But if an independent attorney and her team is suddenly on it..Well then, that's a whole nother story...Makes your guy's opponent look all the more incompetant... I did my research before we came.."I said..

Margaret smiled ,then looked at Olivia..

"He's good...He's probably better than all of our investigators put together..You married yourself a gem Liv.." she said..

"Oh I know it...He and my niece are the best things that happened to me...My law practice wouldn't be half as successful without either of them..."Olivia said humbly...

III-

Once inside, Everybody was pleasently surprised... Ultra modern rooms with a nice view on both sides...A Huge bed...Wifi...A 45 inch monitor with cable,plenty of drawer space...A shower and a jacuzzi....

''Wow...The D.A. is sparing no expense huh?" I said..

"Yes...but uh keep that under your hat....It's not known you are here and when it does become known...The official story is that the "Innocence Project" told you about his case and it peaked your interest..." said Margaret..

"Peg, Did Larry North agree to this?" asked Olivia..

"That's all he would agree to..but yes....To the world...It will look like you guys are taking on his case and as an ADA and member of the CIU,I'll be observing..."said Margaret...

She thought back to the brief fling she had had with Larry North so many years ago...He had kind of owed her a favor...For the three months of pleasure she had given him...

Now he was hooked up , had a baby...Olivia and Donnie Ray were married and Little Beverly and new improved Nelson were a couple....She didn't know what she and Ethan were doing besides screwing in his office and at his loft and sometimes in her apartment...Neither of them ever spent the night with each other...or went out to Saturday Brunches....Or even went dancing together...It seemed Ethan was overly concerned about his public image and appearences... more so than their relationship, which she wasn't sure she had.

"You really like this guy huh? This District Attorney...??" asked Beverly...

"I don't know...Everything happened so fast... I left Philly and I moved out here...I worked at a Prestigious Law Firm...I was making good money Liv,Living high on the hog...Then the partners got caught up in some Ponzi scheme...They went under...and suddenly ,I was without a job...Just like that...After three years...I worked as a Public defender....Ethan was an ADA...A crusading ADA...High conviction rate...We used to talk, Go out for drinks...He flirted a little...but not too much...Then he ran and won his term as District Attorney....We started going out again...One thing led to another and the next thing I know,I became an ADA and we worked much closer together...."said Margaret....

"Much Closer"said Olivia with a wry smile.

"Very Close!" said Olivia and Beverly in unison..

Margaret looked at Nelson and I...

"Those two always like this?" she asked jokingly...

"ALWAYS!" we said in unison...

Josie laughed...

"Yes...He came by my apartment once to go over some legal briefs and , well....We wound up in bed...He spent the night...My head has been spinning since then...I don't know what I'm doing..."said Margaret...

It was the only time he had ever spent the night! She thought...what led next was secret couplings in the employee breakroom after hours...Her being bent over his desk in his office at lunch and after hours...Making love on his couch/sofa bed in his office....And every now and then, him calling her late at night for a booty call....

"But you put this together for him right?" asked Olivia..

''Yes...He knew I was friends with Larry North from our days in Philadelphia ..And he brought him in...But Larry wouldn't touch it...Larry didn't like him.....Then he told me about you two...and I got the idea of bringing you in on this...This is the type of case you two like and are good at...Look..Enough Shop talk...Unpack...Get some food...There are great restaurants up and down this waterfront...And tomorrow morning...I'll take you to meet Ethan and our client...How about that?" said Margaret..

"That's fine Peg...."said Olivia..

Margaret hugged Olivia..

"Ohhh Livy, I'm so glad to see you....And look...before you go...Just us girls, we have to go shoe shopping, Bev, Josie...There are great shopping malls in the area.."said Margaret...

 "That's right up my alley..."said Beverly...

"Mine too!" said Josie...

"Nothing for us guys?" joked Nelson..

"The pleasure of seeing your girls in sexy lingerie and new shoes and pretty little sundresses..."said Margaret

with a smile.."See you guys in the morning.." she said..

After she was gone I looked at Olivia and said..

"I imagine she's a hell of a lawyer...She could sell ice to Eskimos.."I said, laughing.

"You're right...From the beginning I've felt as though this was a game...That I was being played..Maybe ,just maybe, Margaret is being played too!"said Olivia.

"Then why did you agree to this Auntay?" asked Beverly...

"Because I like to see how games are played...to their conclusion...and besides...I'd never been to Seattle before...Have you?  It was a nice change of scenery." she said and smiled...

"Works for me Auntay!" said Beverly, smiling..

As requested...We had three rooms right next to each other... Olivia and I were in the corner room,

 Beverly and Nelson were in the room next to ours

and Josie's room was next to theirs...

Josie's room had the Laptops, Tablets and lawbooks...

That would be the room we'd be in working on the case...

Tonight however...We'd be enjoying the local cuisine and knocking back some drinks....Like the tourists we were...

We found a nice spot...Must have been where all of the Blacks in Seattle and the surrounding area hung out...It wasn't Josies' but the crowd was nice...The D.J. played the right music and the drinks flowed..

Micro Brews for Nelson and me..

 "I like that the drinks are cheaper here than in Philly.." said Nelson..

 "Yeah...that's a plus.." I said.

and mixed drinks for Olivia, Beverly and Josie..

"Drink up folks..tomorrow is going to be a busy day..We have a 10:00am meeting with D.A. Ethan Bell and then we have to drive out to Walla Walla State Prison to see our client."said Olivia..

"Walla Walla? Is that the name of the Prison?" asked Beverly ,giggling...

"It is...I didn't name it." said Olivia, laughing..

"That is a funny name for anything.." said Josie with a grin...


IV-

And in an Office downtown...

District Attorney Ethan Bell was meeting privately with ADA Margaret Ellis...

''So Peg ,everything is set up...Our operatives are here and in place right?" he said..

"Operatives?They're my friends...Olivia Bennett-Alexander ,Beverly West and their team.." said Margaret..

"You know what I meant....That team includes another Attorney, An Investigator and a paralegal..correct?" asked Ethan..

"Yes, that's it..The Investigator is her husband, an ex-cop and her paralegal is along and another attorney is along..." said Margaret...

"Five people, just three rooms?" he asked..

"Liv and Donnie Ray, the investigator are married.. And Beverly and the other Attorney, Nelson East are seeing each other...and Josie , the paralegal is in the third room..."said Margaret...

"They faxed me their fee....We are paying for their Hotel, Airfare and Legal fees....Umm Hmmm..." he said..

"That's a lot of money coming from the D.A.'s office."said Margaret...

"The D.A.'s office isn't paying them....That would be public...I don't want them connected to this office officially...That's why I had a Super Pac that is supporting my re-election pay for all of this...They get the boy off , it works for me because it won't look like I was trying to smear Gibbons..." said Ethan...

"But you are.." laughed Margaret...

"Ha..Ha...Get over here...Get those panties down and off.." he said..

"Ethan...There are still people mulling around..." she laughed.. He wasn't the least bit romantic, she mused...Not anymore.

Ethan closed and locked his door...He drew his blinds...He turned on some music...

"Ethannnnnnnnnn.." she cooed...

Soon her panties and bra were off and on his desk...

"Ohhhhhhhhhh lord...ouuuuuuuu girl..." he moaned as they stood in the middle of the floor naked, kissing passionately...

''Ethan, you are so hard right now.."she moaned as she stroked his penis...


"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW YES...THAT'S WHAT I LIKE BABY!" he snarled...

Within minutes Ethan had Margaret sprawled across his huge couch with a fold out bed...He entered her slowly..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Ethan , Oh My goooodness..ouuuuuuuuuuuuu.."she moaned.. as the headboard slammed against the wall and the bed squeaked loudly...

"Babyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!"he moaned silently.....


"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDD!, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooou" she moaned...

Her body was shaking...She was crying like a little girl and turning her head from side to side...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwd!" he yelled as his toes curled...

"I can't believe this feels so goooooooooooooooood ,ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." he moaned..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!  OH MY GOODNESS....YOU REALLY ARE EXCITED! OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!" she moaned..

and some, Four Hours later...Ethan was cumming himself, like a gusher.....

"I'm about to blow my loaddddddddddd, arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" he yelled...He rolled over and drifted off to sleep immediately....

She was sitting across that bed...catching her breath....

She slowly dressed...

 ''Ethan...Wooooo...Ohh Honey, what are we doing?" she asked, trying to catch her breath...

"We are winnin baby, We are taking over the world.." he said as he slowly got dressed himself.

So why didn't she feel victorious?
