It was an unseasonably chilly and dark day in the city, but I was rather comfortable and relaxed. As I sipped my scotch on the rocks and gazed at the clouds, I mused about the murder case that I had just solved. It wasn't a particularly difficult one as I had recently adopted a new theory on crime. There is always a woman involved.
And women could make even the most intelligent boy scout kill. Ok, so maybe it wasn't fully tested, and maybe I was a little biased since my wife took off with some loser from Europe, and caused me to swear off women for good. But still, it seemed true enough and it kept me content.
I glared into the dark sky outside my window. All of a sudden a strange feeling washed over me. It was a very odd feeling that reminded me of how I felt the day Jennifer ran out.
A warning?
I wasn't so comfortable anymore…worse yet someone was approaching my office. What was I being warned about?
"It's probably nothing," I thought, "Besides, I'm a professional." I put on my work face and focused on the situation.
I quickly forgot about the feeling.
The door opened slowly and a heavenly silhouette appeared against a bright hall lit background. When my eyes adjusted to the light, I saw a beautiful brunette with long curly hair, sharp hazel eyes, and a very well filled pink blouse that didn't extend all the way to her small jet-black miniskirt. Capping it off she wore expensive black lace shoes at the end of her long perfect legs.
I stared at her, taken aback by her beauty.
"Hello, I'm Kara Moorwood, are you the famous private detective?" she said in sharp, assertive voice.
"Famous?" I was instantly on my game. "Do you mean…notorious?"
A devilish grin appeared on her luscious lips. "Of course" she said as she approached a little closer. "I'm looking for a man that's a little…unconventional." She turned her head slightly and gazed deeply through the window beside me and added, "That's why I came to you. I need someone that doesn't just act out a formula from a textbook. Someone a little different, even a little…bad."
The way she didn't look at me when she talked was infuriating. I wanted to gaze into her amazing eyes. I NEEDED to get lost in them. It made me angry and that leaked into my voice. "There are plenty of people on the force that do that these days. I'm actually kinda busy…."
My voice trailed off as she returned her gaze to me. "I guess I was also looking for some…personal attention," she cooed. She slowly looked me up and down, sending a slight shiver through my body.
Trying to break the trance, I spoke sharply, "So what exactly is the problem."
She moved her hand quickly over her mouth in a practiced pantomime of surprise.
"Please don't get angry. You're my only hope."
"I apologize. Please tell me how I could help you," I said with exaggerated empathy.
Her face became very serious and her beautiful eyes locked on mine. She had me hanging on her every word.
"I…I'm being followed. Wherever I go, whatever I do, I catch someone spying on me in the corner of my eye."
Again she turned slightly away from me and gazed out the window in that infuriating way. "I don't understand what they could possibly want," she said.
I couldn't imagine anyone who wouldn't stare at her. Her curves were perfect from any angle and from any distance. I couldn't contain a minute chuckle.
The chuckle brought her gaze thankfully back to me. "Do you think the case is too… hard?" she asked sheepishly.
I could tell she was attempting a play on words.
"Nothing is TOO hard, or maybe I should say, the harder, the more worth it." I let it sink in for a second.
" But that's not the point I-"
She cut me off. "Sir," she said as she slowly leaned closer and closer, "I'm… scared. I need someone.
I'm not sure what this creep wants with me. And well… I'm not big enough or strong enough… like you."
Her body was close enough for me to feel its heat, and having those perfectly round breasts bursting out of her shirt only inches away from me put me in something of a trance. Even my penis was enthralled and, well… reaching for them. I had no choice but to take the case… I just couldn't imagine my lips forming the word "no".
I surrendered. "OK, I'll take the case."
She smiled almost wickedly and pulled away. "Thank you, sir," she said in a voice lacking any trace of surprise.
"One more thing," I said, "In most stalker cases the stalker is someone you know. Could you tell me about anyone close to you that would act strangely in any way."
"Well, I haven't had a man in my life in a long… long time," she stated in a slow and suggestive voice. This was getting ridiculous. My hormones were racing.
After a long pause she continued, "But I recently quit my job at the Aphrodite Strip Club and it didn't exactly end up on good terms. Big Jake, the head of the joint, wasn't greatly pleased that I left. I don't know anymore than that. I hope that… helps."
One last time she fired her electric gaze up and down my body. Then she gave me a coy wave, slowly turned around and walked away, wagging her rear tantalizingly. Her butt was perky and tight as a basketball and it left my eyes glued to it until she finally left.
Just like that, she had sauntered in, shook up my life, and sauntered out, leaving me burning with desire and with more work to do.
I downed the rest of my scotch.
"Women," I muttered.

My head was spinning, my dick was hard, and I felt unpleasant all over when I woke up. I was feeling more mixed emotions than I had since when I was with Jennifer. I rolled out of bed and slowly made my way to the refrigerator. As I chugged a Budweiser, I thought about how
screwed up I had become over something so simple. I couldn't help but feel a trick abound and worse yet I couldn't help but feel determined to solve the case.
