Over the next few days Gene was really busy. He thought there was not much to go over, but it turned out there were too many issues to ignore. Often he would get back to the room late and Jessica would be waiting up to greet him wearing a teddy that Marilyn lent her. He was so tired that she would just blow him after he got into bed and she'd go back to hers. She understood, but hated the boredom. She missed Stuart who was the one constant in her life, her entire life. He'd always been there and she had always expected he would be.
Thursday as she was reading a book she'd picked up in the lobby, Gene called her. "Hey Gene, I hope this means you're coming back to the room and we can have dinner and perhaps dessert?"
"Sorry I've been working so much, but yes, I'll be home. After dinner, though, Ed and Miller are bringing the final drafts over. I'm really impressed with the kid, young and misses nothing."
Jessica sadly put down the phone. "Crap. Not only do I not get alone time with Gene, but Stuart is coming over and we have to act like we don't even know each other. Christ I need a cock. Come to think of it, multiple cocks." She mused.
Gene came in a few hours later and hugged the naked Jessica. "I'm sorry to leave you in the room. I should have told you to get out and have fun. I can't believe you weren't bored out of your mind, but God damn, I could come home to this every day and never need anything else." Seeing her smile, he pushed her back onto the chair. Getting between her legs he saw the quizzical look on her face, "It looks like you need this more than I do, and I've been neglecting you." He said as he began licking her nice smooth pussy. "I love how you keep yourself so smooth." He said as he returned to the sweet juices flowing from her pussy. He felt her lips open up and her pelvis respond eagerly as tongue and fingers invaded her vagina.
After Jessica came, she started to get up. "Stay." He ordered as he went and got a warm wash cloth and cleaned her pussy. "Sometimes I feel the urge to take care of you. I sure hope this aberration in my personality goes away. I prefer being the user of people." He smiled. "Ok, you better get dressed, we have to eat and I have people coming over."
Hearing the knocking, Gene told Jessica, "Perhaps when we get down to business, you should go read in your room. This will put you to sleep again. However, it would be really helpful if you could get drinks, snacks, whatever they want before you do."
"Sure, whatever you want," Jessica said, "If you need me...just let me know." She said sincerely, kissing him.
Gene ushered in Ed and Stuart with the redhead. Jessica didn't know her name, but was impressed with how beautiful she looked. She felt saddened when the girl dismissed her with an angry glance and focused on Stuart. After getting them drinks, Gene looked at her and nodded towards her bedroom. Saying goodnight to everyone, she turned and left.
It was easy to focus on the book since the discussion in the other room seemed really amicable and after a couple of hours she looked up and saw the redhead standing there.
"Mr. Carmichael suggested you could help me carry some binders to my car." She said softly, "I'm sorry to bother you, and if you don't want to..." She tailed off seeing the blonde jump up.
"I'd love to. I don't think I could be any more bored." Jessica said. "Let's go, I'm all yours. By the way, my name is Jessica."
"Linda." The redhead said curtly.
In the elevator, Linda said, "You say that pretty easily, Jessica, 'I'm all yours.' Doesn't it bother you at all what Stuart has been going through?"
Jessica whipped her head around. "What? How do you know how easy it has been for me? You don't know me."
"I think I do know you. You whored yourself out knowing Stuart agreed only because you wanted him to. We saw you at the lake. We saw you fuck three strange guys at once. That is what I know about you. You took this as an opportunity to spread your legs for any man out there." Linda said bitterly. "He's your husband and you dump him for a sexual vacation and you knew it would tear him apart."
Jessica stood there holding the heavy box, tears swelling in her eyes. "You're right, you are 100% right. I knew it would hurt him, knew that he'd think about me fucking other men. I did it anyhow. I can't even look at him when I see him since I know you're right." She turned and looked at Linda. "Thank you for being there. I am sure he would not have made it without someone. Have you been with him all week?" She asked, her voice quaking.
"Yes, I've been with him. I've seen the tears and rages. He has said over and over, he should have said no. But he didn't and he cannot forgive himself. It's all he thinks about when he isn't distracted by work." Linda said bitterly.
Jessica put down the box and wiped her eyes before the doors opened, then picked the box back up and followed the redhead out to the parking garage. Putting the box in the back, she turned and started back to the hotel.
"Wait. Please. I'm sorry." Linda said. When she saw the girl stop but not turn, she continued. "Look, I shouldn't have said those things, but I saw you and hated you. I hated you for ripping Stuart apart, but I never stopped to consider there was another side of the story. Can you come back? I promise I'll listen." She stood there waiting. When she saw the tears gleaming on the girl's cheeks she almost went over and hugged her, but this was the girl who has been acting all week, who knows how to put on a good show. She stood and waited.
"You'll still hate me," Jessica said softly, "I have no good excuse. There was no financial need. Our tastes are simple and we had all the money we needed."
"Come sit in the car. I want to hear your story." Linda said.
When Jessica closed the passenger door she looked at Linda. "You are very beautiful. Did you know that? I'm really glad because Stuart is beautiful. He's the most beautiful man I've ever known." She said quietly, almost to herself. "I think he deserves someone like you more than me."
"He loves you, you know that, don't you?" Linda asked. "What made you say yes to those assholes. I heard the story and you could have said no."
Jessica looked at Linda. "Have you ever woken up in a strange place and panicked, wondering how you got there? Perhaps wondered if you really didn't wake up and you were still dreaming?"
