I snapped my fingers in front of Wendall's face. His gaze came up from my chest. "Focus." I told him bluntly. "You're visit surprised me," he said while eyeing me from top to bottom. We were in the confines of the limousine. He still thought I was taking him somewhere. I was taking him nowhere. The fact that I was alone with him should have bought me pause but knowing we had a destination will make him put all the plans going throw that head of his on hold.
"It was not a surprise. Just something urgent that required you're immediate attention." His lips quirked. "You couldn't call." I looked at him, "no, I couldn't call." He looked at me, assessing me. There was nothing to assess, I wasn't the same woman he knew years ago and tonight just proved it. I wouldn't have walked in that place, even if my life depended on it and he knew that, the fact that I actually did it made him question himself. "Okay, let's hear it." He said after long minutes of silence.
"Why did you not tell me that using the name Loulind in JLD would post a problem?" He lips came into a full on smile. He moved in closer, covering the distance between me and him. He stretched his hand behind me. He was expecting this day to come. "How about a kiss first." I smiled at him, coming close to his lips I almost grazed them. "No" I said as I pushed away from him, giving me distance from him. A smile still lit his face. "I'll tell you everything you need to know." I glared at him, lifting my eyebrow. "And then some, if-", he grabbed the rod that threatened to break his zipper.
There was always an 'if' with him every time but this time I needed him to say it. "If I what?" I eyed him, making sure I put on my stupid face. His teeth came into view as his smile widened. "Don't act so coy, MaryAnn. If you want answers to your questions then its time to give before you receive." I looked at him but that was not what I wanted to hear. "I still don't understand." His breath was exasperated as he was tired of me beating around the bush. "Show my cock some deserved attention, much more than you showed that ass you called a boyfriend on the swimming pool, ease it and I'll be more open with you." Jackpot. I smiled and pushed the intercom to the driver's seat. "Stop here."
As soon as the car came into a halt, I turned to Wendall, "Thanks for the conversation, that will be all." He gave me a look of surprise, then he laughed, "your loss. I could have been good to you." I looked at him and smile. "C'mon Wendall, don't you know by now not to hoot your own horn by now? And I haven't lost anything." His eyes dropped to my lap, looking at my phone and then at me. "Please, that won't get you anything, ever." He told me all knowingly, too bad he hardly knew me. "On the contrary, it will. Since you decided to hold back information for my future destruction, I will do the same." His laughter filled the small confines of the limousine. "Please, the moment those pictures hit the first page I'll deny them and say they are fake." I stared at him right in the eye, "Oh, I know; that is why they are not for the first page." He looked right back at me, his mind in thought. After a few seconds, a smile lit up his thoughtful expression, "I doubt those will help Alison with the divorce proceedings." He was right and wrong. I could have given his wife the pictures but I know better, that woman was whipped by this jackass and even if she did use them in their so alleged divorced proceedings, Wendall would have a way out, which is why I decided in a better way to use for them. "Ooh, I know that already." My response seemed to stomp him.
This was the time to play my card. "You see, I plan on making sure that if I go down, so do you." I lifted my phone and hit play on the recording. His expression was blank an indication that he really didn't know me. "You see my father may want to ruin me now but will he feel the same when he hears his attorney, his confidant and advisor wants to make his daughter a slave. I am sure he might have an idea of what you like and the pictures will prove it and your intentions to go ahead with what I just recorded. Add that to the fact that you had an eye view of me fucking someone else in my teens," I shrugged, "I doubt that my father will be friendly and just like that he will make sure you are nothing before the day is over." His expression became flustered and then filled with rage. He started to get out of the car when I said, "If you love the luxurious life you live Wendall, it would be in your best interest to make sure it didn't go down the drain." He didn't bother with goodbyes as he slammed the door shut.
I breathed a sigh of relief that things played out as they did and thankful not to be in close proximity to the bastard. I could have blackmailed him into giving me some information to use against my father for the recording but I decided not to because it would have been too nice. The moment he reminded me of Drew is the moment I remembered what he told me, that dearest dad kept a close eye on me. It was then I decided to change tactics. I just hope it plays out in my interest. If my present knowledge of Wendall was correct, he would go against anyone and everyone except my father and there had to be a reason for it. So, if all goes to shit he will do everything to make sure that father doesn't find out about his illicit feelings and preferences towards his daughter. He will do everything to make sure he saves his hide and only time will tell.
