Venomously Yours,

6.Unforgivingly Yours

Maxine's cheeks flushed in embarrassment as she closed Phoenix's office door behind her.

This was the first time he had refused her.

They had a thing going on.

Phoenix would call her when he was all lonely and needy. And she liked being his little pet. They had fucked and though, it was only for his pleasure. Maxine didn't need his help to come. The situation was enough for her.

She has been infatuated with him since he became the warden here. He was so tall and silent. Dignified and on the right side of law.

She was starting to feel more than infatuation when he looked at her knowingly tonight. Then, why did he stop her?

Did it have to do with that weird inmate with the buzzard looking hair, Valora? He had also stopped by her cell too. Was there anything more than an interest?

No, no. She knew Phoenix. He would never let dirty hands like hers touch him. That's for sure.

Yet, that girl might seduce him for it. It's no question that she was attracted to Phoenix too.

And even a man with a standing like Phoenix, who could say no to woman like her? She had got a glimpse of her naked body and those shiny glinted metals hung from her and curves donned her athletic bod. Even the most honorable man can be put to his knees with a sight like that.

Maxine could not have that. She wasn't going to allow some cheap slut who kills fugitives for fun to beguile her Phoenix. Never.

Phoenix might be cold but she liked him for that. So, she came up with a plan.

The next Monday morning with two of her guards, who would trail behind her and listen to any wish she had in mind, headed for the field.

Maxine took a quick glance up at Phoenix's window, it was empty. Good, she knew he was in his shower.

It was leisure time for some of the inmates. Catching the maroon haired vagabond in the field, she strode to her with purpose.

Bad damming purpose.

All the prisoners watched the three guards head towards Valora, who was busy talking with Naomi and Cathy. None tried to warn her.

It would be in a vain and honestly, they take pleasure in seeing the guards beat up the others.

With Valora's back facing the up coming trio, Naomi's eyes widen with warning.

Not having a weapon on her, Valora was caught in anguish surprise when she felt a strong kick at her backside. She tumbled down the rocky ground and both Naomi and Cathy skittered away when Maxine looked at them, daring them to help Valora.

"Fuck." What did she do that for?

Squinting her eyes at the three of them, Valora spit out. "What the fuck do you think you are doing?"

"You don't speak until I say so." With that, Maxine swung her baton onto the side of Valora's waist.

When tears sprinkled in her eyes at the bolting pain at her sides, she felt the first flash of her father.
