We're driving from Marg's.
"Wow, I've only been on my new detective job a few hours, I must say, I like it a lot, a whole hell of a lot, I never expected it to be so exciting, and satisfying."
She giggles.
I pull in and park in front of a well-known chain of ladies' dress shops.
"Come on." I step out of the Jeep.
I went straight to the light summer sweaters, grabbed 2, a pale green one and a white and peach one, then promptly to a skirt rack.
"Pick a short one, not a micro mini, mid-thigh, short enough to entice provocative thoughts." I wink. She removes one, holds it up, "Ya," I nod approvingly, pass her the sweaters, "go put them on." A couple minutes later she emerges from the change room. The sweater is snug, enhancing her breasts, the skirt, hugs her hips treating a seductive attraction to her thighs and trim bum.
"OH YES, and definitely burn all your bras." I chuckle.
What a transformation, from a dowdy librarian to a super model. Mel looks spectacularly sexy. I followed her into the dressing room, slide my fingers up the back of her leg squeezed her cheek as we kissed passionately. I left her to change and I paid for the outfits.
As I fire up the jeep, "I want you to come home with me for supper, meet Grant." She tosses the bags in the back. "Sure, any chance you have some salacious sex scenario in mind?"
I maintain eye contact, purse my lips, tip my head, shrug my shoulders, smile profusely; her enlarged smile indicating we were in silent agreement.
I drove to the coffee shop, as Doug agreed to meet there at lunchtime. It was fairly full, and Doug wasn't there, so we found a table, ordered lunch, then I sent a text to Grant.
My text: hey lover get your voyeurism on; I just had another sexy visit with Marg. I took a video. Here's a sample,
{I sent a couple pics of Marg standing naked as she was seducing Mel.}
Grant's reply: OMG, I'm hard, that's hot.
My text: Oh, so you get turned on watching two girls? {Sent pic of Marg eating Mel on the sofa.}
Grant's reply: I'm thinking I enjoy watching anything sex related. Lol.
My text: Cap hooked me up with a new partner, bringing Mel home for supper, thought I'd warn you in case you were home before me and planned on posing naked on the sofa, with a bow on your hard cock. LOL.
Reply: Now that's a great idea, I think I'll do it. Want me to order in? BBQ?
My Text: totally up to you; surprise us.
Grant Reply: Ok. With a red or white bow? LOL
I showed Mel the texts, she lost it, laughing loudly.
Doug arrives, he appears obviously smitten, he can't take his eyes off Mel.
"Hi Doug, this is my partner Detective Burns, or she prefers Mel."
"Wow, Detective Mel, you are a ravishing redhead. I was impressed when I met Teresa, but dayum, our finest is truly becoming our finest."
Mel gestures for him to sit. "Easy tiger, down boy, I got a few years on you."
"Maybe more academic education or job experience, but I know I could teach you many things about carnal knowledge."
Before they get further involved in a verbal skirmish, I state matter-of-factly.
"Ok Doug, ease up on the libido, we require a DNA sample and fingerprints, so we can eliminate you as a suspect in the murder of Jocelyn."
"What the fuck." He stammers.
"Am I a murder suspect." His eyes widen, mouth agape, his fingers clasp the edge of the table as he pushes back.
"Yes, Jocelyn was dosed, with a drug that induced her heart failure. We need to eliminate you as a suspect."
"What. Uh, do I need a lawyer?" He's very agitated.
"I don't know, do you have anything to hide, if you're innocent, give us your DNA and fingerprints and help us find who did this."
"Uh, ya, sure ok. Uh what do I need to do?"
"Sometime today go to the station, tell the desk sergeant your name, my name, and why you're there." The waitress delivers our food.
I continue between bites. "First, did you share any items from the bag you carried into the bedroom, with anyone but Marg?"
"Uh, No." He responded, still very nervous.
"Ok, tell me where the items Doc used on Jocelyn were located."
"Doc got the stuff from Marg's nightstand stash."
"Ok, when you go to the station give a written statement of everything you can remember from that night, even the smallest detail, might be the clue we need."
"For sure, I will," His breathing has normalized, "damn, I can't get my head around this whole thing; murder, who would want to hurt Jocelyn. She was so sweet, so sexy; I had a crush on her, I loved hooking up with her. I even asked her to dump that loser, Brian."
"Ok, stud, your free to go."
As he stands. "How about you, ready to go? To hook up, you're both gorgeous, I've got great stamina, I can satisfy 2."
I smile, "Maybe someday stud, but not while you're a suspect."
He stood, a wink, "I bid you adieu, my fair ladies." He rolled his hand in a royal court gesture, as he bowed and backed away, we chuckled.
Mel dives me a concerned look. "Uh, we hooked up with Marg, isn't she a suspect?"
"Whoa that needs to remain our secret, and I doubt she's a suspect. She's Jocelyn's lover and bestie, she was also tied up in the same room; I'm inclined to think she was the intended victim." I raise my eyebrows take a bite of my open Denver.
"My working theory at this time, so don't you repeat this. I think Marg was the target, she was supposed to use her items, from her stash, in her home." I continued as I ate. "The dual bondage party put Jocelyn on the bed not Marg. Now do not repeat that, it's my gut feeling at this point; we need to prove it."
