"There must be something we can do," pleaded Sophie Webster, her voice full of emotion and little hope.
The reply, from Paula Cunliffe, her former lover and her mother's lawyer was not positive. "Without any new evidence, there is zero chance of even getting an appeal, never mind winning one, I'm sorry Sophie."
Sophie reached out and took the older woman's hands in hers.
A spark flew through Paula's fingers and up her arms and then through her entire body. She remembered those same hands caressing her body, gently skimming over the skin of her breasts and playing with the nipples. Of those hands trailing over her body, to the intimate organ at the junction of her thighs, of those fingers, teasing apart her lips and finding the nub of her clitoris and bringing her to some amazing and memorable orgasms. She was feeling moist, just with those brief remembrances.
It had been a brief, but passionate affair, ended by Paula when Sophie, in an attempt to pervert the course of justice in her mother's trial, had been discovered.
The lawyer gazed at Sophie, over the table at the city centre coffee shop where they had agreed to meet. While not conventionally beautiful, Sophie was attractive and possessed a very nice body.
Still holding her hands, Sophie carried on with possible scenarios on freeing her mother.
Half listening, Paula was undressing the young woman in her mind. She visualised a naked Sophie laid in her bed, playing with herself and inviting Paula to make love to her.
The memories came flooding back. Sucking on Sophie's beautiful breasts with gorgeous pink nipples, that nicely trimmed patch of pubic hair, framing the most adorable pussy with its oh so prominent and suckable lips. Not to mention that wonderful backside that she loved to cover with tiny kisses, before plunging her tongue into Sophie's pussy from behind.
"Are you listening?" Asked Sophie.
A flustered Paula stammered, "Sorry, I let my mind wander a bit there, please carry on." She took her hands from Sophie's and tried to concentrate on what the clearly upset young woman was saying.
Sophie kept bringing up possible scenarios that would free her mum with a single bound, but Paula, the level headed lawyer kept batting them back with logical reasoning, that they wouldn't work.
Eventually Sophie accepted that despite all her efforts, it looked as though Sally would have to serve her sentence, unjust as this was.
"It's been lovely to see you," said Paula, as the two parted outside the coffee shop.
Hugging her ex, Sophie replied, "you too, take care," and planted a kiss on Paula's lips. It wasn't a lovers, kiss, no tongues, barely open mouthed, but it sent shivers down the lawyers spine. There was still something there.
As they parted, Paula said, "keep digging, it's a long shot, but you never know."
A few days later Sophie was in town and passed the impressive building that housed Paula's law practice.
"Wow, no wonder they charge so much, the rents here must be incredible, " she said to herself.
Then she began to visualise what the actual offices were like.
On no more than a whim, she entered the building, through automatic doors, across the marble floor, and walked up to the reception desk.
A very smartly dressed and immaculately made up receptionist said. "Good afternoon, how can I help?"
Sophie replied, "would it be possible to speak to Paula Cunliffe, she represents my mum, Sally Metcalfe."
"Do you have an appointment?" Asked the receptionist, rather disparagingly.
Sophie decided to brazen it out, "no, but I have something that might be of great interest to her and she would not want to miss out on."
"Please take a seat, I will try to contact her." Said the receptionist.
Sophie sat on one of the large leather sofas, a picked up a high end magazine and began to browse through it.
"Miss Webster,"
Sophie walked over to the reception desk.
"Mrs Cunliffe is in meetings until 5 o'clock, but if you care to wait, or call back, she can squeeze you in for a few minutes, then."
Sophie glanced at the reception clock. Almost 4, she had nothing else to do, so replied, "that will be fine, any chance of a coffee.?"
The girl glared at her and said, "of course madam."
