Tessa and the Warden (4 page)

             
Tessa struggled against the woman’s hand.

             
“Sorry, I’m just not that into girls.  Especially stupid ugly bitches like yourself.”  Tess watched as the guard drew her hand up, and then it was lights out.

Chapter Six

      “Tessa.”  Tessa woke to the soothing calm voice of the warden.  She batted her eyes open, feeling a sharp pain to her brow.

             
“What happened?”  Her own voice was quiet, but it shot a streak of pain through her head.

             
“You don’t remember?”  She could see his eyes searching her.

             
“Bits and pieces.”  She whispered.

             
“Guard Johnson was attempting to take advantage of you.  She hit you, knocking you out.  She didn’t get the opportunity to carry out her plan.  I’m sorry I didn’t get there before she hit you.”

             
“How did she know?”  Tessa was angered.  She wanted to know how it was that one of the guards knew about their arrangement.  Had the warden told her?  Did more guards know about them?  Then of course, did he do this with all the women about to be discharged?

             
“Johnson followed me.  It was my mistake.  I didn’t know she was on to us.  She has been here for many years.  When they brought me in, she had made a pass at me.  I turned her down.  Since then she has been after my job.”

             
Tessa’s eyes grew.  “And now she has it.”

             
He chuckled quietly.  “No.  I make sure that I have insurance policies on all of my guards.”

             
“Oh.”  But then if Tessa hadn’t agreed to this arrangement, what kind of insurance did he have on her?  “So what do you have on me?”

             
“Nothing.  I don’t keep things on the inmates.  Only on the guards.”

             
“So what if I told about our arrangement?” 

             
“You won’t.  I know you.  You are loyal.  You didn’t even turn in your boyfriend.  I also know that you didn’t need to rob that store.  Your family left you a great deal of money.”

             
Tessa jerked from the immediately rush of tension through her body.  “So is that what this is about then.  My money.  Were you hoping to get some of it?”

             
“No.  I don’t need your money.  What I do need is you.”  His mouth came down on hers.  She fought it as long as she could before her mouth betrayed her and gave in to his kiss. 

             
Tessa winced as another pain throbbed in her head.  The warden pulled back from her, wrinkling his brow. 

             
“Don’t move.”  He moved through the door and that was when Tessa noticed she was in his private chambers.  Why had he brought her here?  Why didn’t he just take her to the infirmary?

             
She moved, sitting up.  She lay back against the headboard. 

             
The warden returned quickly, carrying a bottle of Motrin and a glass of water.

             
“Take these.”  She watched him take three into his hand and give them to her.  He didn’t have to tell her twice.  Her head was pounding at this point, she could only imagine what she must look like.

             
She swallowed the pills quickly, closing her eyes, wanting the throb to go away.

             
“Stay here and sleep.  You won’t be disturbed.”  He stood to leave.

             
“Wait.  Stay with me until I fall asleep.”  She looked up at him, hoping and praying he would.

             
“Slide over.”  He breathed. 

             
Tessa smiled as she made room for him.

             
“Can I ask you something?”  This was it.  It was now or never.

             
“Yes.”  He took a deep breath.  Tessa wondered if he knew what she was curious about.

             
“Do you do this with all of us?”             

             
“Do what?”

             
“Don’t be coy.  You know what.” 

             
“Don’t be a smart ass.  No.  I do not do this with everyone.”

             
“Then why me?”

             
“Because I can.”

             
Tessa laid there for a moment.  His words cutting through her like a knife.

             
“So you used your position to get what you wanted from me?”

             
“Yes and no.  I know you are innocent. You should have never have been found guilty.  I also know what you have planned when you get out of here.  That is why you are here.”

             
“Why?  Why am I here?”

             
“Because you need to learn vengeance will only get you back in here.  You need to let go of your past and move on.  You don’t have anything to worry about.  You are free in a few days and you can get your life back.  Don’t waste it.”

             
“Did you really think by bringing me in here, fucking my brains out a few times would keep from that?  You have a lot to learn.  I don’t want vengeance against Jo.  I want it against the DA.  He knew I didn’t know what was going on in there.  He didn’t care.”

             
“That is something that you will never have.  What’s done is done.  But you should know, I positioned to have your record sealed.  It will be as soon as you leave here.”

             
“How did you manage that?  I had a team of lawyers and they couldn’t even manage that.”

             
“They don’t have the pull I do.  Now go to sleep.”

             
“I can’t sleep.  Are you a Dom?”

             
She felt his body tense.

             
“What would you know about a Dom?”

             
“I know that Dom’s like to have control.  They need it.  It is just how they are built.  Same goes for a Sub.”

             
“Are you a sub?”  He nipped at her ear lobe.

             
“No.  I can play a game, I can even call you Sir.  But long term…no.”

             
“No, I am not a Dom as in the BDSM lifestyle.  I do like control and I do require it.  However, those that I choose to be intimate with, must be able to give control over to me.  So in the bedroom and out of the bedroom I am dominate.”

             
“That makes absolutely no sense to me.”

             
“It makes perfect sense to me.  Now go to sleep.”

             
“I’m not sleepy I said.”

             
“Then I guess we should find something else to do with that mouth of yours.”

             
“Please do.”  Tessa immediately became aroused just at his promise.

             
“Turn over.”

             
Tessa turned, placing her back flat on the mattress.  She found she loved laying on this mattress.  It was nothing compared to what she had at home but it was a huge improvement over the cot she slept on in her cell.

             
Tessa watched as the warden stood and began making light work of stripping down.  She licked her lips as he pulled his shirt free, dropping it to the floor.  Her eyes roamed over his sculpted chest. 

             
My inner goddess was drooling as she looked over the best pieces of male specimen she had ever laid her eyes on.  His chest was smooth except for the little circle of hair that surrounded each nipple and then of course the sweet little line of hair that lead from his navel down to the sweetest part of him.

             
“Tessa.  You are molesting me with your eyes.” 

             
She could hear his smirk.  Her only response was that of nodding her head, and licking her lips again.

             
He chuckled as he moved down to his pants.  The minute the belt was open, the button was free, his pants and boxers were sliding down and she never felt hungrier than at this moment.

             
She watched him climb onto the bed with her.  Her pussy clenched and her mouth water as he straddled over her.  His massive cock just a mere inch from her mouth.  She reached from him with her hands.

             
“No.  Only your mouth.” 

             
She smiled looking up at him.  She leaned forward, taking her tongue and gliding it softly over his tip.  Teasing him.  Taking the drop of precum that presented itself to her.  She relished in his flavor on her tongue.  But she needed more.

             
Quickly she raised her head, taking him into her mouth. Sucking with a desire, no need to have more of his flavor.  To have more of him.  She sucked down until she felt the natural reaction of her gag reflex.

             
Taking a deep breath, she slowly slid him further.  Then sucked her way back to his tip.

             
“Jesus, Tessa.  You’re going to kill me.”

             
She began bobbing her head, up and down, twirling her tongue around him, tasting him.  She heard him moan as his fingers slipped into her hair, guiding her head.

             
He growled a manly growl, and then thrust deeply into her throat.  Tears fell from her eyes as she gagged, but she didn’t care.  She stared up at his tangled face.  She felt the spurt of his man juice coating the back of her throat.  She swallowed, knowing the constriction of her throat would finish milking his release.

             
He slowly pulled himself from her mouth, looking down at her.  “Jesus woman.”  He breathed, then collapsed down beside her.

             
Tessa made little circles in the sweat on his chest.  Her inner self rejoicing. 
Yes.  I did this to him.

Chapter Seven

              Tessa woke to the warden staring at her.  A smile graced her lips as she watched his lips turn up as well.

             
“Tell me about when you were a child.”

             
Her body stiffened.  “There isn’t much to tell.”

             
“There has to be something.”

             
She turned her head away from him.  She didn’t want to talk about her childhood.  She didn’t want him to know what it was like for her.  Most of all, she didn’t want to see the look of pity in his eyes when he learned the truth.             

             
Tessa thought about it for a few minutes and decided that she would do what she always did when she was forced to talk about it.

             
“Ok.  What do you want to know?”

             
“What was your Mom like?  I know she passed away, but I would like to know.  If it isn’t too hard to talk about.”

             
Tessa again tensed.  It was sickening to her to even have to talk about her Mother.

             
“She was just like every other Mother.  We played, went shopping together, had girl make overs, you know the usual stuff.”

             
“What is your favorite memory of her?”

             
“This one Christmas.  She had made a promise to me.  Things were going to be perfect.  She held me in her lap as I opened Christmas presents.  When we were finished, we went in to the kitchen and made homemade peanut butter cookies.  I remember that day like it was yesterday.”

             
“Sounds wonderful.”

             
“It was.”

             
“What about your Father?”

             
“He worked a lot.  He was gone all of the time.  I didn’t really see much of him.”

             
That was when Tessa felt the warden stiffen against her.  He stood and began dressing quickly.

             
“What’s wrong?” 

             
“I know about your history damn it.  I have been completely honest with you.  I don’t have time for bullshit games.  If you didn’t want to talk about it, you should have just said that.  Get dressed.”

             
Tessa stood, feeling the tears sting her eyes.  She wouldn’t do it.  She wouldn’t ever cry in front of a man.  Not like that.  She dressed quickly and then without saying a word, made her way back to her cell.

             
She plopped down on her cot and let the tears flow as she hid her eyes in her pillow.  She didn’t want him to be able to see her tears, not even on camera. 

             
“Tessa?  Are you ok?”  Jessica called out from the cell door.  During the day, the doors were left open for the inmates to come and go from chores.  Of course, this week, Tessa hadn’t had to do any of them.

             
“Yes.”  She bit out.

             
“It doesn’t sound like you’re ok.”

             
Tessa felt the cot shift, as Jessica sat down on the side of it.  She moved the pillow from her head and saw the look of shock on Jessica’s face.

             
“What the hell happened to you?  Did the warden do that?”

             
“No.  No.  He didn’t.  One of the guards did.  But it doesn’t matter.  He took care of it.  It won’t happen again.”

             
“Oh.  Why are you crying?”

             
Tessa drew a deep breath.  “Because he wanted me to talk about my parents.  I couldn’t.  So I made up a story about them.”

             
“I see.  Everyone has skeletons in their closets.  Hell I have several.”

             
“Not like mine.”  Tess wiped the tear running down her cheek.

             
“You won’t know until you tell me about yours.”  Jessica reached over and smoothed away the lock of hair that had fallen over Tessa’s eyes.

             
Tessa looked over at Jessica.  She was too young to be in here.  She didn’t deserve to be in here.  Poor thing.  She had just gotten mixed up in the wrong crowd.

             
“Are you going to tell me about it?”  Jessica wasn’t pushing Tessa to talk about it, just simply telling her, there would be no judging from her.

             
“If I tell you, you can’t look at me differently now.  That is the worst part.  I don’t like the looks that I get.”

             
“Ok, I promise I won’t.”

             
Tessa went on to talk about the demons and the skeletons.  Everything was completely one hundred percent honest.  Tessa even felt a bit relieved when Jessica kept to her word.  She didn’t give off the appearance of feeling sorry for Tessa.  Just the shocked look, which was understandable.

             
“So, now you know.”

             
“So what you’re really saying is when I get out of here, I can move in with you and mooch off of you.”

             
They both started laughing.  “Absolutely.  That is completely what I am saying.”  Tessa knew that Jessica was trying to ease the tension that Tessa felt and Tessa was thankful for that.

             
“So, I gotta go.  Some of us don’t get out of chores.  I still have four loads of laundry to do before lunch.”  Jessica stood to go.

             
“Wait, I’m coming with you.  I don’t think I will be spending the day doing paperwork today.”

             
They finished laundry quickly, then made their way to the court yard.  Tessa thought about everything that she had said.  She also thought about how she would feel if she had found out he had been lying to her.  She had to make things right.  She had to go to him and tell him why she couldn’t tell him.
