This young lady appeared to be getting her life together...despite having a motive for wanting to kill the sleazy P.O. Stanley Walker... She didn't seem like a likely candidate...But she didn't have an alibi either.

She had the book on all of the players ....She was very impressed with our credentials...All PENN LAW SCHOOL grads. She had some things in common with us ...She too was a Graduate of the Philadelphia High School For Girls.. She graduated two years before Olivia Bennett-Alexander..She too attended Temple University where she got a degree in Administration of Justice, Trial Advocacy and Pre-Law...but unlike us, she didn't attend PENN  LAW.. she traveled to New York City where she attended COLUMBIA LAW SCHOOL, graduating two years before Ms. Yvette and Olivia Bennett graduated from PENN..

She had returned to the area and been a Public Defender in the city of Camden and moved on to be an Assistant District Attorney in Cherry Hill, New Jersey...Returning to Philadelphia to work for a private law firm...She had an office with a window where she could look down into the streets of the teaming city...An Investigator on speed dial and an interning attorney, who also fetched her coffee..She was so far from this and out of practice..

"I don't miss this at all...The constant back drop of cases...Defending and Prosecuting the dregs of society." she said to herself..  Now her clients were more upper class.. Upper crust...A lot of times she didn't even enter a courtroom...She litigated in nice sanitized Boardrooms... or at another lawyers office like Olivia Bennett-Alexander and her niece, Beverly West-East.

Speaking of Olivia Bennett-Alexander...

She and her intern Cassidy Skyler.

had recently worked another case with Olivia and her team..  Her intern had been a para-legal the last time she worked with Olivia... Now she had passed the bar and was an attorney, interning with her.. 

Cassidy's Aunt was Attorney, Brenda Jordan, an Acquaintence of Yvette, Olivia and herself. It was Truly a small world.

Working with Olivia ,Beverly and her associates had been a great education for her intern, who had been successfully defended on a murder charge by Yvette and her team recently..

Olivia and her associates couldn't have been more gracious hosts...

And her office manager, Alfreda, couldn't have been more accomodating..

She kept the coffee and pastries coming..

Those were good memories...but now she had to deal with the case at hand... Whether to try this young lady ,who appeared to be getting her life together for murder and send her to prison for life.

II-

CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DIVISION HEADQUARTERS /FBI-ATF

"So we have a warrant out for the man we believed blew up that boat....The one belonging to Stanley Walker... and here... this is a phone record of a call made to him just 48 hours before by one Marla Stacy..We are going to question her a little later and your boss might want to prepare a subpoena for her."said FBI/ATF Deputy Special Agent in Charge, Sharon Hopkins...

"Thank you...This goes right along with our investigation..." said Jade as she thanked Sharon and got on the elevators and headed out..

As fate would have it..She ran into Lt. Tragg..

"If you're looking for Sissy and her detectives....They are all out on the streets doing police work..."said Jade.

''What are you doing here?" asked Lt. Tragg.

"I was talking to the Feds..."said Jade.

"ABOUT WHAT?" he asked..

"MY BUSINESS!" said Jade, angrilly...She was tired of being grilled by him every time he saw her..

"I BELIEVE I ASKED YOU A QUESTION!" he bellowed..

His phone began ringing..

"It's the D.A.'s office , I've got to take this." he said and then looked around.. Jade was gone!!

"Lieutenant Tragg, this is Special Prosecutor Justine Logan.... I need to see you as soon as possible concerning the Cierra Rodriguez murder trial." she said.

"I'm not busy right now...I know where your office is...I'll be right over ,Heh heh Heh..Vavava voooooooooooom!" he laughed to himself.

Meanwhile at our building...

We sat in our building's ultra-modern conference room relaxing and talking.. The Preliminary hearings began tomorrow, We were as ready as we ever were.

"We're all finished Ms. Yvette...We've got an idea, a good idea of the type of juror we want.."I said.

''Shame we can't have a jury of all women."said Kahlil.

"We don't need all women jurors..This case is sooooo weak...I'm hoping we can wrap this up in the Preliminary Hearing." said Ms. Yvette.

"Bresha's friend down at the courthouse told her that none of the ADA's wanted this case and that they all almost threatened to resign if forced to take it... In an election year that would be disasterous for Garcetti."said Bee Bee.

"So Garcetti got a special prosecutor from the private sector, Justine Logan to prosecute and Judge

Julie Wong will be hearing the case." said Sofia.

"Yall got good intelligence...Real good intelligence..." said Yvette.

"I'll say they did..."said Ms. Virginia.

"Heyyyyy guys...We have some of that Guava Punch from Jake's that everybody likes...More than we can drink.."said Jazzy, who came in with cups for everybody.....

''Enjoyyy" said Kayla

"It is good."said Assistant District Attorney Karen Page.

Pouring everyone a glass..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh thank youuuu!" I said, Thirsty.

"Ouuuu Jazzy, Kayla, you two are angels."said Bee Bee.

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, thank youuuu!"said Sofia.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh thank youuuu!"sail Kahlil...

''Just what the doctor ordered."said Yvette.

"Ohhh Thank You!" said Virginia.

"We know you guys start your preliminary hearing for that girl Cierra tomorrow...Good Luck."said Dabnis.

"Once Again Lt. Tragg has made a hasty arrest with little to no proof of guilt... We hope he has egg on his face , just like he does all the other times."said Ray.

''He's A Menace.. Anybody is in danger of being falsely accused when he's around."said Tony.

''Well Yvette and her guys, Olivia and her crew and Me and my husband have thwarted him time and time again..." said Jessica.

"Thank God for us."said Chip...

Jade arrived She told Ms. Yvette.

"I was talking to the ATF...They have identified the man who blew up the Houseboat...They have a warrant for his arrest... Here is a copy of phone calls made to him by Marla Stacy and a copy of a bank transfer of $5000.00 dollars from out of her boyfriend, Wickersham's account to the bomber..Vern Stuckey.

"We need to subpoena both of them.." said Ms. Yvette...

III-

 THE OFFICE OF SPECIAL PROSECUTOR, JUSTINE LOGAN-

"Lieutenant, this case you have against this girl is pretty weak....I don't know if I can prosecute this... I know she doesn't have an alibi and she has a motive, but what evidence do you have that she killed this man?" asked Justine Logan..

"Come on...She's a High school drop out...She dropped out of High School in the 11th grade, did a stint in Juvenile Hall... After she got out..She was still in trouble, fighting, selling marijuana...That's what earned her a stint as a guest of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania...She's a career criminal, come on...She's the only one who didn't have an alibi...She's your shooter."said Lt. Tragg confidently...

"None of that places her at the scene...I'm looking for evidence Lieutenant....And just so you know..

The C.I.D. and The ATF have arrested a man they believe blew up the houseboat...He says he never heard of Cierra Rodriguez,,,,,So I'm dropping Arson and Bombing charges as well as conspiracy charges against her...

Also... you seek to criminalize this girl...She earned her G.E.D. while incarcerated and was paroled and released after serving two years..Since then she's been gainfully employed as an Investigator at the Women's Law Center and taking courses at Community College...She had turned her life around...It seems highly unlikely to me that she would throw all that away by killing Mr. Walker, who by the way was abusing his power..Holding an alleged failed drug test over her head in exchange for sex and half of what little money she was making..You have no forensic evidence....You don't even have an eyewitness who puts her at the scene.

I WANT...I NEED, I DEMAND EVIDENCE SHE DID THIS....IF YOU DON'T BRING ME EVIDENCE....I'M DROPPING ALL CHARGES...DO YOU UNDERSTAND LIEUTENANT?" said Justine Logan forcefully.

But talking to Lt. Tragg was like talking to a brick wall... He totally ignored everything she said.

"Look baby, I know a nice restaurant that serves the thickest steaks, and has the dryest Martini's ..Why don't you and I go and have dinner, drinks and some quiet conversation huh?" he said quietly, smiling.

She couldn't believe him..She decided to humor him.... "Get me some more evidence Okay...And I'll go out with you....and we'll see what happens." she said.

ONE WEEK LATER....

Justine Logan did the best she could with what she had, which was basically nothing... She didn't call one witness, She couldn't...There was none... and she had no physical or forensic evidence placing Cierra at the scene.. 

Something we capitalized on and hammered her with. Ms. Yvette said that even though we had a broader defense outlined for trial if it got that far... The main thing was ,it was the prosecutions job to prove she was even at the scene and so far they couldn't.

For Four days, we frustrated  Justine Logan at every turn...She was impressed with how well versed in law, predicates and like cases we were... Meanwhile she was growing more frustrated with Lt. Tragg and fighting off his advances..Removing his hands from her legs and from under her skirt...

For his part...He was frustrated with us and our "Stunts" as he called them completely oblivious to the fact that he had brought in a weak case.

Judge Julie Wong, The" Hot Judge" was tempted to drop the charges herself... Finally she asked Yvette..

"Mrs. Jones-Lockwood...Do you have a defense you would like to put on?" She hoped she did..because what she had seen from the prosecution left much to be desired.

"Yes your honor, we do!" said Ms. Yvette.

We all sat with our client Cierra...We listened to her entire criminal record being reviewed for four days...and her being accused of a crime based on that....

Ms. Yvette said quietly....Yes we do and we call Lt. Arthur Tragg to the stand.." she said.,

Lt. Tragg swaggered up to the stand... He was confident his testimony would give the Judge no other recourse but to hold Cierra Rodriguez over for trial.

"Lieutenant, what did you base your arrest of Ms. Rodriguez on...You know that at least 59 other young ladies had simular motives.." I said.

"They all had solid alibis...She did not..Just saying, "I left work and went home is not an alibi.."he said snarkily...

"So Just saying that she has no alibi is enough?" I asked.

"That and her criminal record....Yes." said a confident, Lt. Tragg.

"We know she left work at 5:00 pm....She bought a Steak Hoagie from this shop, Near Frankford Avenue at 5:35..I have a sales receipt and a debit card record to prove that..and she got gas for her car at 5:50 pm.. Just before she says she went home and stayed the rest of the afternoon... Stanley Walker's estimated time of death was anywhere from 6:03 -6:15 pm, verified by the Medical Examiner's office records.. Did you read the Autopsy report Lieutenant???...Pretty hard for her to be on Frankford Avenue and then at Penns Landing at the same time...It appears to me, she was going in the opposite direction."said Sofia.

Lt. Tragg was as red as a beet....He hadn't read the Autopsy reports ,nor had he bothered to check her alibi at all.. This much information was in Sgt. Brice's report, which he also proved he had not read completely...

Bee Bee showed Lt. Tragg and the judge and the grand jury a photo..

"This is Vern Stuckey...He was arrested a few days ago by Detectives of the C.I.D. and ATF agents... They have evidence that he blew up Stanley Walker's Houseboat....He said and they have evidence that he did this at the behest of Marla Staples, this young lady, who was also being blackmailed by Stanley Walker and for a much higher amount than these young parolees...You didn't even look at her did you Lieutenant?'' asked Bee Bee, showing everyone her photo.

"She has also been arrested for conspiracy and it is believed that she, who was also being blackmailed by Mr. Walker may possibly be the shooter."said Bee Bee..  ''Were you aware of that?" she asked.

"The ATF sent you a report...If you haven't read it...Here it is." she said, showing him the report.

Lt. Tragg was as red as a beet..

"No..Uh I was not aware of this.." he said.

"You were not aware??...You were not aware??...You didn't check out her alibi...You didn't read the autopsy report, You didn't read the ATF Report....You haven't been aware of a lot of things concerning this case Lieutenant!  Thank God, Sgt. Brice was running the investigation before you inserted yourself into it..God knows who you would have arrested and charged with this.."said Kahlil..

The Grand Jurors, Reporters and spectators burst into laughter... Lt. Tragg was as red as a beet....He didn't like being humiliated... He now had a deep hatred for Kahlil that matched his hatred of Jade.

"LOOK SHE'S A CAREER CRIMINAL!!!   She's a High school drop out...She dropped out of High School in the 11th grade, did a stint in Juvenile Hall... After she got out..She was still in trouble, fighting, selling marijuana...That's what earned her a stint as a guest of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania...She's a career criminal, come on...She's the only one who didn't have an alibi...She's your shooter."said Lt. Tragg...

"This young lady did make mistakes early in her life, but we are not defined by the worst things we've done in life...You seek to criminalize this girl...She earned her G.E.D. while incarcerated and was paroled and released after serving two years..Since then she's been gainfully employed as an Investigator at the Women's Law Center and taking courses at Community College...She had turned her life around...It seems highly unlikely to me that she would throw all that away by killing Mr. Walker, who by the way was abusing his power..Holding an alleged failed drug test over her head and the heads of 59 other young women in exchange for sex and half of what little money she and these girls were  making.. You have no forensic evidence and no physical evidence of this young lady's guilt... We have knowledge now that Ms. Marla Stuckey has been taken into custody, Suspicion of murder...were you aware of that?" asked Ms. Yvette...

"I-I-I was uh not.."said Lt. Tragg, beyond angry, furious...and as red as a beet...

"No, of course not!  Your Honor...The defense rests... We leave it up to you to rule as to whether this goes to trial."said Ms. Yvette.

We had subpoened Marla Staples and Vern Stuckey...We were going to call them as witnesses during our defense if it went to trial..We were more than prepared.

Judge Wong looked at her watch...

"Due to the lateness of the hour... I will rule tomorrow morning on whether this goes to trial or not.. I am asking you all to be here at 9:00 am tomorrow morning.. Be on time and be ready for my ruling." she said.

Justine Logan quietly walked out..

She knew this was a dumpster fire from the beginning...

NIGHTFALL ARRIVED

THAT NIGHT!!!

Gary smiled and looked at his wife lustfully after he finished washing and drying the dishes...

Yvette was already sitting on the bed in her red lace baby doll...

"Oh My Godddd..."said Gary, his eyes nearly bulging out of his head.....

He began undressing hurriedly and pulled Yvette to him and began kissing her passionately..

Slipping her bra and panties off.. She giggled...

"My goodness Gary, I'm not going anywhere...Ease up!" she laughed...

''UMMMMMMMM, I'm ready for the judges ruling  tomorrow...If I'm lucky, we can wrap this thing up without having to have a jury trial.!" she cooed seductively...

"OHHHHHHH VETTTIE....I think you can do anything you say you can do!!" GARY MOANED.

Yvette smiled..

"Awwwwwwww...I know you're saying that because you want some....but thank youuuuuuu." she said..

"I'M SAYIN IT BECAUSE IT'S TRUE BABY!" he said.

The bedsprings were soon squeaking very loudly.....The headboard of their bed was rattling and the sounds of lovemaking could be heard...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuu.." moaned Yvette...


"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.." moaned Gary.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Garyyyyy, ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.." she moaned...

"Vettie, I love you , I just love you soooo much.." moaned Gary, beside himself with lust...

He had gone to lifting her up and long stroking her..

"Ouuuuuu Gary, I love you too...I love you so much! You don't even understand how much I love youuuu. OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU....SO MUCH!!! SOOO MUCH!!! OHHHHHH!!" she cooed.

"YVETTE ,OH MY GODDDDDDD!" he moaned....placing her on the dresser and plunging into her warm wet center... She smelled so good and was so soft, Gary didn't know if he was coming or going.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU GARRRRRYYYY! UMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" she cooed loudly....

to throwing her on the bed and laughing gleefully as he stroked her.....Her arms around his neck...her head turning from side to side....both of her legs just shaking furiously....

To finally mounting her in bed, making sweet, slow love to her....

Yvette had had three to four intense orgasms in the EIGHT TO NINE HOURS of lovemaking...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" he moaned...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU HUSBANDDDD! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MEEEE?" she cooed.

She was embarrassed at the noise they both were making...She hoped her neighbors couldn't hear it...

Her headboard sounded like it might split in half.....

She was equally embarrassed at the noise she was making....Gary was driving her out of her mind...She was cooing and hollering loud!  Gary was moaning loudly too!

She was driving him out of his mind also!

Gary didn't seem like he wanted to stop....He never did! but soon he couldn't help it...He came and he came hard like a flowing gusher..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" he moaned....shaking violently....

They continued kissing....

"Did you like that daddy?" asked Yvette...

"Ouuuuu I loved it baby.." moaned Gary..

Gary lay in between her legs with his head resting on her breasts.. Both of them were drenched in sweat....

"Damnnnnn , that was good! "he said.

Yvette looked over at her clock...

"You weren't so bad yourself." whispered Yvette...laughing afterwords....

"Yes indeed!!!WOWWWW!!" he whispered...

"Yes....I'm glad you enjoyed yourself..I enjoyed myself too! . " she said as she got up and walked to the kitchen to get a bottle of water...

"I thought about you all day...So much I could hardly concentrate on my work" he said as she returned to bed....

"You've got to stop that......"she giggled..

"Yeah, I know... "laughed Gary.

"You wanna do it some more? asked  Yvette..

Gary pulled her to him and kissed her gently and ran his hands into her panties...

slipping them down once again...

"You have to ask?" he whispered and laughed raffishly...

"No you horn dog!!!..I already know." Yvette laughed...She stroked him gently..Amazed at his size and girth....

"OUUUUUUUUUU! OH MY GOODNESS, YOU ARE SOOOOO HARD! GARY!!! You don't make any sense.." laughed Yvette..

"Neither do you! Being so damn hot!!!" said Gary, laughing raffishly...

"You think I'm hot Gary?" she asked..

"You know I do...I always have...Why do you think I've chased after you so long?" he asked..

They wound up back on the bed...Making sweet love for Another THREE HOURS or so...

"Ummmmmmmmmm you never.....you never get enough do you?" she asked..

"No, I don't...you've got me spoiled...All this good lovin.." he said..

Yvette giggled like a school girl, she loved being desired like this...

"I knowwwwwwww!" Yvette giggled....as the bed continued to squeak out of control.

"OHHHHHHHHHHH VVETTTTIE!" he moaned..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUU, UMMMMMMMMMMMMM GARRRRRRRRRY!!!!MYYYYY GOOODNESSS...OUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!" she cooed.

They continued making love... The bed was squeaking louder now than ever and the headboard was shaking fiercely... This bed was getting a real working over this week...

Yvette's legs began shaking furiously...She was having an intense orgasm....and Gary was cumming like a gusher, his body trembling...

She lie on his chest breathing softly....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuu good luck in court tomorrow baby.." he said, hugging her...

She gave him a nice sweet kiss...

"Thank you....This was a nice send off." she said and dozed off...

IV-

SAM MOTHERS DINER- 7:30 AM...

We had done enough to get this case thrown out....To Not Go to trial...But if it did, we were more ready than usual...

''We are going to get you off baby...and I think it happens today."said Ms. Yvette to Cierra.

"I hope so...I just want to return to my life..."said Cierra.

"You Will..You Will...I was at the hearings... Yvette ,you and your guys did an excellent job...Excellent."said Nia Rios, A former Assistant District Attorney herself, now a Staff Attorney at the Women's Law Center, which was across the street from our new building.

"We've had quite a few cases won in prelims....I'm hoping we have another one." I said.

"I think we'll win this one in the Prelims.."said Bee Bee.

" The case against her is so weak, so empty..." said Sofia.

"Yes, we got this...I know we do.."said Kahlil..

"All of that other information I gathered concerning Wickersham, Marla Staley and Vern Stuckey may not even have to come to light...The way you guys butchered Lt. Tragg on the stand yesterday, may have done it."said Jade..

Our food arrived.

We were famished and we all chowed down, hoping Lt. Tragg didn't spoil our meals.

Lt. Tragg walked in just as we were finishing our meals...Naturally he walked over to our table..

"Sooo you thought you scored points by trying to humiliate me in court yesterday....Well it's not going to work... That Judge was taking into account this young lady's record....She sees that this woman is a career criminal and this is going to trial.." he sneered confidently... 

''Do you really think you had enough proof of this girl's guilt?? Really?? You've got nothing.."said Yvette incredulously.

"I'm a former Assistant District Attorney and let me tell you....I would not have gone to court with a case this flimsy....In fact..Your last four arrests, I wouldn't have gone to court with."said Nina Rios.

"You're a traitor....that's what you are."said Lt. Tragg...

"Look we've argued this case in court all week.. We came here to have breakfast and relax before trial, we don't intend to argue it here. Go Away!" said Bee Bee..

"Yeah, we'll see who is right or wrong in court. Come On, let's pay our bills and get out of here" I said.

"Yeah we'll settle this in court..."said Kahlil.

"Regardless of what you say, this won't be resolved in this diner."said Sofia.

Jade laughed...

"Keep laughing...Keep Laughing...I'm going to have your license in my hands yet." snarled Lt. Tragg as we walked out.. "All of you with your legal stunts....IT AINT GONNA WORK!!" he yelled out... The man was delusional.

COURTROOM B- ONE HOUR LATER!

We all stood in court awaiting the Judge's ruling..

Special Prosecutor Justine Logan spoke first..

"Your Honor...I find absolutely no merit in this case at all...Judging by the facts or lack of them... The People move to drop all charges against Cierra Rodriguez.." she said.

"WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT?  WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" screamed Lt. Tragg.

"I was going to rule that the charges be dropped anyway....I see no merit in this case myself... And Lt. Tragg, you have been bringing some raggedy cases into this courthouse....I suggest you do better detective work in the future...Case dismissed."said Judge Julie Wong.

"WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT?  I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!" he shouted and stomped his foot....

''And that is how it's done kiddos!" said a smiling Ms. Yvette.

"You sure called that one Ms. Yvette."I said,

"No Fuss, No Muss."said Kahlil.

"Thank You so much Yvette." said Nina Rios..

"Thank you guys so much."said Cierra, hugging Sofia and Bee Bee..

"Awwwww you're welcome mami."said Sofia.

"You're quite welcome..." said Bee Bee.

"Well... once again...We are in the winner's circle. And YOU? You're in the doghouse!"said Jade to a seething Lt. Tragg..

Lt. Tragg watched us leave the courtroom...

"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!" he scowled...

Justine Logan laughed ...

"I can't believe you brought in a case this bad..." she said, still laughing.

She turned and walked away...Not even looking his way anymore.....

Ms. Yvette looked at her watch..."It's 10:00 am, still a lot of day left." she said as we left the courtroom.

EPILOUGE-

Vern Stuckey pleaded guilty to blowing up the houseboat belonging to Stanley Walker and testified that Marla Staples , the girlfriend of Attorney Donald Wickersham paid him to do it.. He said she was being blackmailed for sex and money and she was tired of it...He was sentenced to 5-10 years for it..

Marla Staples was convicted of the first degree murder of Stanley Walker and sentenced to 99 years in prison.

Donald Wickersham is currently under investigation by the S.E.C. for his possible embezzlement and shady business dealings...

Once again, Lt. Tragg was the laughing stock of the department and 

the Special Prosecutor and the D.A. gave a scathing review of his conduct and his sloppy investigation..He had just come off of the Marine Boat.. This didn't bode well with him and the Deputy of Operations relationship...

And At Virginia's Apartment...Midnight..

Virginia's doorbell rang..

"JETTY!" she said.. She was glad to see him.. She was wearing a white night gown she had been issued in prison. It was drab and she was going to throw it away, except that Jetty liked it.. It turned him on for some reason.

''Ohhhh baby, let's party." he said.

He brought a six pack  of beer.. Missing was a marijuana joint.

"Ouuu Jetty, No smoke huh?.."laughed Virginia.

"Nah, No smoke!  I aint gonna let nothin happen to you...I told you that. I don't need to be high to be turned on by you." he said.

She looked at the bulge in his  trousers.

"Yes...I knowwwww." she said, shaking her head.

They both killed the six pack of beer. 

They were both good and buzzed and horny... 

Virginia was convinced that the sound of her name made Jetty horny..

He took her in his arms and kissed her..

and slowly inched her panties down...

"OH LORRRRRRRD! ARE THESE NEW?" he asked.

She sighed -"YES JETTY, I PURCHASED THEM TWO WEEKS AGO!" she said.

"UMMMMM I like these." he moaned.

"Can you name me a pair you don't like?" she giggled.

"No, I uh guess I can't." he said and laughed.

They kissed passionately... Virginia a little more than Jetty...The Beer  made her very horny...Something Jetty had no doubt picked up..

She rode him passionately on the side of the bed

and on top of the bed.

and eventually in the bed..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU JETTY, YOU ARE DOING THE DAMN THING!" she cried out..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH VIRGINIA...I LOVE YOUUUU!" he moaned.

"I LOVE YOU TOO JETTY!" she said.

NINE TO TEN HOURS slowly passed by.. 

Virginia had multiple mind blowing orgasms...Jetty was a skilled lover who knew her body better than most..She came so hard the last time, she was crying like a baby and holding on to him for deer life..

Jetty was still going strong, he had her bent over the bathroom sink..plowing into her doggie style.

They were both glad this was a Friday Night.

He finally came...He was sweating profusely...as was she.

She fell asleep on his chest as she usually did after a good session..She was exhausted..but satisfied.

"No Smoke!" she said before dozing off..

Jetty squeezed her butt... He smiled.. "No Smoke baby!" he whispered.
