Chapter Three: The Hanging Queen
------
With a knowing grin on her face, Abbey sank back into her luxurious black leather chair as she glanced down to appraise the object between her fingertips.
The beautiful gold heart which dangled from the thin black choker had only been used 20 minutes earlier, when it was secured around Emily's neck, relaying every word of her conversation with Shawn back to Victoria and Natalya. Having taken it off and left it with one of the guards at the main entrance, as instructed, Emily had led Shawn out of the bar by the hand and the two were already on the motorway headed back to Glasgow.
The interior of Abbey's office was more professional than it needed to be, with her extravagant L-shaped wooden desk, coated in charcoal-grey paint, reminding anyone who entered that the office was a place to discuss serious business. On the far wall, directly opposite from where Abbey was seated, was a bank of small screens transmitting the footage from the various security cameras throughout the premises. But when Abbey slowly looked up, her gaze settled on the sight of Victoria and Natalya sitting across the desk from her. With a glance across to Victoria, Abbey softly exhaled and responded. "I've had police officers and detectives sniffing around here ever since I inherited the place from Dad. Trust me, I've had all sorts pass through here trying to make a name for themselves... But I've never came across anyone like her in all my days. A girl like that? Like Emily? I'm telling you now, she might not realise it yet...but a girl like that simply doesn't know when to stop..."
Carefully, Victoria sat up a little straighter in her chair as she leaned forward and swooped up her glass into her right hand. Her glorious fuchsia-pink dress had found its way back onto her slender figure with the thick straps sitting just off the shoulder. After taking a slow sip of her vodka and lemonade, Victoria sat the glass back down upon its coaster and looked Abbey in the eye. "She certainly didn't disappoint. If you'd have been in the room with us, Abbey, you'd have sensed just how much she knew she was out of her depth. That body of hers is absolutely incredible, but you only need to spend a few minutes in her company to know that there's a lot more to her than that. If you know what to look for, there's an ocean of darkness behind those eyes of hers..." Slowly, Victoria allowed her fingertips to tap against the edge of the wooden desk before continuing. "But we were very clear with her, Emily knows the magnitude of her mistake coming here tonight. We've got her on camera and if she slips up for just one little second, she'll have a lot more to worry about than losing her job..."
The words coaxed a soft giggle from Natalya's mouth as she sat in the chair to Victoria's right-hand side. Dressed once again in her tight denim jacket and black miniskirt, Abbey was afforded the same tantalising glimpse of Natalya's black lace bra as the zipper was pulled down to present her sensational cleavage. With an air of confidence, Natalya drawled. "When she reached behind that pole and let Victoria slap those cuffs around her wrists...I wish you could've seen the look on her face. That's what was so delicious about tonight, she knows what we do...she knows what we are... Yet, she was so desperate for information, she let us strip her, cuff those wrists and devour that awesome body of hers. When she finally felt my lips press against hers, knowing the cameras were pointed straight at us...the way she kissed me back...knowing her investigation was getting torn to shreds...it was as if she couldn't control herself..."
Abbey could do nothing but offer a soft, genuine gasp as her bottom lip hung for a moment. Slowly, she arched her back as she brought her waist closer to the edge of her desk. Just listening to the way that they described their encounter with Emily had Abbey starting to feel the heat between her legs. She was still clad in her long-sleeved white top, with her own generous curves threatening to spill over the top of the plunging neckline, but the only change from when she met Shawn earlier was her sleeves had been rolled up past her elbows. Slowly, Abbey returned to Natalya's gaze and responded. "You two have been coming in here for the last couple of years, but every time you pull up a chair and tell me all about your adventures...you never fail to get me going. If that's my reaction after all this time, I'm guessing that it didn't take long for the pretty detective to become putty in your hands? By the time Shawn left this office and I brought up the live feed, Emily was already busy with your tongue down her throat."
