The story takes a significant turn in this chapter. A new character is introduced who will ultimately have a very profound impact on the lives of Jenna and Ryan Nielsen.
As has been the case in previous chapters, this one will make more sense if you read the story from the beginning (or at least chapter 11 thru 13), but also like previous chapters, it is not a necessity and you'll enjoy it as a standalone story too.
This chapter starts off the morning following Jenna's long night in druglord Carlos Juarez' sanctuary of sin and her subsequent limo ride to her current location with Police Chief Steve Jones...

Captain Sayers entered Ryan Nielsen's cell, "I trust you got a decent night's sleep. Mr. Nielsen, I'm releasing you down to the showers where you'll find toiletries and towels. Shower quickly we need to get you something to eat and have you out of here in 60 minutes. When you're done, one of our uniformed officers will provide you some breakfast and deliver you to the venue; you'll be briefed about what will be expected of you when you arrive.
Ryan's heart beat quickly in his chest,
"Am I really going to follow through with this?"

Twenty miles away, Ryan's Nielsen's wife walked nervously through the double doors into a smartly decorated waiting room of sorts. The beautiful blonde was greeted by a well dressed woman in her early 50's. The woman was strikingly pretty for her age; she possessed a very comforting smile which helped ease Jenna's frayed nerves.
The woman introduced herself as Lisa Anderson and said, "You must be Jenna?"
Jenna felt embarrassed that she was dressed in only lingerie and heels while Ms. Anderson wore much more conservative business attire. "How do you know my name? And what is this place?"
"We have been waiting for you Jenna. And I must say you are even prettier than we had heard." Lisa said as she eyed Jenna from head to toe.
"Heard from whom? And what this place is, why am I here? I was supposed to be on my way to Cole Steele's mansion in Pacific Palisades!"
"Jenna I don't know anything about your itinerary," Lisa lied, "but rest assured we will take good care of you during your visit."
"Visit? How long am I going to be here?"
"As I said, I do not know the details of your stay Jenna. Please follow me; we don't have a lot of time."
"Time for what Lisa?" Jenna shouted.
"You will find out soon enough," Lisa responded as she opened a set of doors and led the leggy blonde down a long corridor.
Jenna had no idea that she was walking through the spacious Beverly Hills compound of LA's most infamous Madam. The property belonged to Madam Balough who had risen to the top of Hollywood circles when her mentor Heidi Fleiss' reign came to an end in the mid-1990s. Lilly Balough had been one of Fleiss' top call girls when her empire crumbled. She was only 22 at the time, but Lilly had learned everything there was to know about the business and what mistakes to avoid. Following Fleiss' downfall, Lilly stealthily picked up many of the pieces and within a couple of years had built a burgeoning business of her own.
Now, two decades later Lilly Balough stood at the pinnacle of her success. Powerful men and women from all professions were her clients and her little black book dwarfed the famous version once owned by her mentor. Balough's estate was more like a castle and the activities that took place within its walls made the goings on at the Playboy mansion look like a 2nd grader's birthday party.
Lisa led Jenna into a large room filled with a dozen women dressed much like her. Jenna could tell that most were in their early 20's but a few were pushing 30. They were all strikingly beautiful with bodies that most other women would die for. She did a quick count and noted there were 3 other blondes, one with black hair, 3 brunettes, 2 redheads, and 2 Asian girls.
Two guys that looked like Chippendale models walked amongst them handing out glasses of champagne. Jenna reluctantly took one as the young hunk said, "You need to drink that baby, I'll bring you another in a couple of minutes. That one needs to be finished when I do!"
Jenna could sense there was a lot of apprehension in the room. All of the women appeared to be nervous and very few spoke with one another. She turned to speak to Lisa but she was nowhere to be found. Jenna slowly moved over near one of the windows and gazed out on the lush grounds.
"It's a beautiful place isn't it?" A female voice said from behind her.
Jenna turned to see a very pretty young redhead smiling shyly at her.
"Yes, I guess you could say that, but I have no idea where I am."
"That makes two of us," the girl replied before introducing herself as Brooke.
"I'm Jenna, nice to meet you Brooke. So you don't know where we are either?"
"I suspect we are somewhere in the Hollywood hills, but that's about all I know."
"Is this your first time here too?" Jenna asked.
Brooke hesitated for several seconds before she said, "I wish I could say that Jenna, but I've been here a few more times than I would prefer to count."
"I'm very confused, what is this place?"
"Jenna I can't say for sure, I just know it's a place where sex acts take place and we are the main performers."
"What? Are you serious? But I'm married Brooke, I can't...I mean I won't have sex with other men!"
"You aren't the only one Jenna," she said as she showed Jenna her wedding ring, "Most of the girls in here are married too."
Jenna looked around and saw that nearly all of the girls wore rings on their left hand.
"I'm still so confused, why are we all here?"
"I can't speak for all the girls, but those that I know are here because someone sent them, most by their husbands. It's why I'm here."
Jenna looked at her uncomprehendingly, "Your husband actually sent you to a place to have sex with other men?"
"And women..." Brooke replied quietly.
"But why?"
"It's a long story Jenna, but it was his form of payback for something I did," she replied before sadly dropping her eyes.
"I'm sorry Brooke, I guess it's none of my business, but why would he do that to you?"
"I made a huge mistake and I've been paying for it ever since. It happened about a year ago after our third child was born..."
Jenna studied her more closely; she couldn't believe Brooke could have such a phenomenal body after 3 kids. Jenna figured she couldn't be more than about 24.
She wasn't too far off, Brooke was only 22.
"John, my husband, had taken a new job that required him to travel a lot. I was going through a lot of mental anguish in trying to care for three kids without a lot of help. Meanwhile I was wrestling with the fact that my body was not recovering like it had after the first two. I was going stir crazy in the house. Finally, several weeks later after my niece came home from college, she agreed to watch the kids three days-a-week. Having her coverage allowed me to join a local gym to help with my mental and physical well-being." Brooke started to get tears in her eyes, "That's when everything went wrong."
Jenna reached out and held her hand, "You don't have to say anything more if it hurts too much Brooke."
"You are sweet Jenna, but telling my story helps me cope with my situation and will hopefully help other women from having to go through what I've been through."
She continued, "After a couple of days of fruitless activity at the gym I met a guy named Laughlin who was a personal trainer. We worked out together a couple of times and I hired him. He was amazing and within a few weeks he had me in better shape than before my first was born." Brooke hesitated again as the tears began to reflow.
"I was so stupid. One night while John was away on business and the kids were at my mom's I agreed to meet Laughlin for a drink. One thing led to another and we ended up back at my place. It all happened so fast, but before I knew it we were in bed together." Brooke really poured on the tears this time.
Jenna gave her a hug.
After nearly a minute Brooke pulled away and said, "My husband came home early from his business trip. He walked in just as Laughlin and I were nearing another climax. I didn't see him at first as my face was down in the sheets, but Laughlin told me afterwards that John just stared when the two of them made eye contact. Laughlin took that as a sign of approval so he continued pumping into me from behind while looking right at my husband. I was moaning loudly and begging him to make me cum. A minute later we both climaxed together. It was only at that point as I looked back over my shoulder that I saw my husband standing in the doorway."
"Oh my God Brooke, what did you do?" Jenna asked.
"It was awful. I threw on my little cover up and ran down the stairs after John. He was standing in the kitchen just staring out the window over the sink when I came up behind him. I put my hand on his shoulder and begged him to forgive me. Finally he turned to face me. He had a very angry look on his face."
"You fucking bitch, how could you do this to me? He said. I told him how sorry I was and that it was just a really stupid mistake. He asked who the guy was and how many times we had fucked. I swore to him it was the first time and it didn't mean anything."
