It didn't seem fair that his wife Zofia was still mingling with the others at the party. But she was insistent that he get them a room, well that was not true; Albert had to pay for adjoining rooms. When he had obtained the keys he had given them to Zofia. She had given him one key back. Her instructions were for him to leave the key to his room in the door and they obey whoever came in. Albert knew what that meant. This was their sixth trip to The Lodge. As Albert waited he resolved this would be his last trip to the Lodge. As he was contemplating his possible course of actions he heard the door open. Albert looked to see a woman step into the room. She closed the door and set the privacy lock. In the dim light it was difficult to see her face fully, but Albert could see the outline of her body. She was not a tall woman and she was slender. As she walked closer the woman ignored Albert was she went to the door that connected to two suites. She opened it and went into the other room. With the door fully open she turned on the lights and moved the full size mirror to a position so that the bed in the adjacent room could be seen from the bed in Albert's room. Albert got a good look at the woman as she place the mirror. Perhaps it would be better to call her a girl. She was at the best in her mid 20's. She had straight blond hair, dark eyes, full lips and a stud in her nose. She was slender but she had nice legs that extended from what could be called a micro mini skirt. Her top was tight and sheer showing the outline of heavy nipple rings. Her breasts were small but pert and her midriff bear to show a tattoo on her back just above the waist band of her skirt. All that Albert noticed as she worked. She would lay on the bed and look into the mirror. When she did that she made eye contact with Albert sitting on his bed. When she was satisfied with the mirror the woman came into Albert's room and faced him. "I take it you're Albert." Albert stood and acknowledged he was in fact Albert and put out his hand to greet her. She didn't know what to do so she took his hand for a quick weak shake. "I'm called slave and am here to stay with you while Master is with your wife." Albert raised his eyebrows and asked, "Slave? Don't you have a name?" The woman lowered her eyes either by habit or shame and mumbled, "Slaves are property and don't have names." Albert smiled, "Dogs are property but they have names." The woman looked up at him with tears. "I was once called Emma." "Nice to meet you Emma, as you know I'm Albert. I take it you are setting up the room so you can watch your man use my wife?" Emma shook her head 'yes' and went to turn off all the lights in Albert's room making it a dark enclave. Then the only light was coming thru the open doorway between the two rooms. Coming back to Albert, Emma spoke, "you are to be naked, do you want me to remove your clothes?" "You can if I can remove yours Emma, turnabout is fair play," Albert joked. As he spoke Emma began to remove his clothes. When he was naked she started to pull away. "Oh no' come on back' now it my turn." Albert grinned. Emma stepped to him and turned her head. Albert couldn't see her expression and wondered why she had turned her face away. He took his time and was gentle with her as he removed her clothing. She had a firm body and his hands lingered on her breasts. He tracked the mounds and rubbed her areolas tenderly. As Albert explored farther down her body to her ass, he felt tight butt cheeks. As he gently kneaded them she groaned and flinched. "Did that hurt?" Albert asked for he thought he had been gentle. Emma began to cry, "Yes but it wasn't what you did. I'm still sore from my last whipping." "Whipping?" "Yes, three days ago I angered Master. He beat me with a cane till I passed out." "You're kidding," Albert asked sincerely, "Aren't you?" "No, I wish I was. It is just part of my training." "Training? What training?" "I'm a slave and must learn to please my Master in all I do." Albert took her by the hand and led her to the bathroom. With the door closed he turned on the lights. Emma did in fact have severe bruising on her ass. Albert gasp and was angered. Emma spoke, "Let's get into bed quick. They might be here soon and if I've not fulfilled all my instructions I'll be beat again." Albert was stunned and let Emma turn off the light and lead him back to the bed. On the bed she lay behind him so she could whisper in his ear as he got an unobstructed view of the other room. "Albert I have to take care of you as Master is using and fucking your wife. I'll let you have anything you want. You can even fuck me up my sore ass." "I can imagine how sore your ass is." "No you can't, cause you didn't see it all. Master raped my ass last night with a cucumber. Had to gag me to keep me from waking the neighbors. Tore my hole and I bleed a lot." "My god, why do you let him do that to you?" Albert asked with astonishment. "Because I'm a slave, and slaves have no rights." "I find this all hard to believe." "Albert, I'm here for you to use and enjoy. My duty is to give you sexual pleasure. Let you shoot cum in all my holes. I'll even take a facial if that's your thing." "Emma, I don't think I want any part of it. I don't think I could take pleasure from your pain." Emma rolled Albert onto his back and moved down to take him in her mouth. She was gentle and soon had Albert hard. Cupping Albert's balls Emma looked up and asked, "Do you want to cum in my mouth or my pussy?" Albert had been without sex with a woman in many months. He decided to enjoy this girl that had been sent to him. "I want to make love to you and enjoy it." Emma rolled to her back and spread her legs. Albert took his place. Emma guided his erection into her warn and wet pussy. Fully in the woman he held still just to enjoy the warmth of a female vagina. Emma didn't seem to mind and wrapped her legs around his. Without thinking Albert lowered his mouth to Emma's and began to kiss her. It was a passionate kiss on his part. At first Emma didn't respond but soon warmed to his passion. She was kissing back letting her tongue explore Albert's mouth. Albert could feel the metal rings locked into Emma's nipples as his chest pressed down on the young woman. Soon they were making love. She was responding to his slow deep thrusts and heating with passion. Albert enjoyed sex for the first time in many years. He realized he no longer wanted the life he was living. When he was spent they were both exhausted. Emma had even been aroused enough to have an orgasm of her own. A few minutes later Albert lay on his side with Emma's back pulled against his front. They were whispering. Albert was shocked to learn that Emma was just short of 21 years of age. As they were relaxing Zofia opened the door to her room. She led a man inside. "Benjamin I am sure ready for your cock," she almost shouted. Zofia brought the man into the mirror view for Albert and Slave. Emma stirred and looked up at Albert. "That is Master with your wife." Albert looked at the man's reflection. He was tall and heavy. He had dark hair and close set dark mean looking eyes. As they watched Zofia stripped making a show for the man. She then began to remove his clothes. "Master will use her mouth before he fucks her." Emma whispered. In spite of his disgust with his situation Albert stiffened. Emma felt it and reached between them to fondle the erection. As she did she turned her face to Albert offering her lips to be kissed. Albert obliged her. The fire of passion was rekindled and from the spooning position Emma guided the hard Albert into her body. He did not realize till the last second before entry that Emma had guided him to her ass. She moaned when Albert entered. He asked, "Emma why? Is that too painful?" Emma responded to Albert's question by seeking his lips to kiss. Albert was gentle and moved slowly. He wanted to enjoy the tight grip of her anal ring. Emma was enjoying it too. She began to push back to meet his slow steady thrusts. The two were so lost in their one passion they didn't care to watch the show that Zofia was putting on. Zofia was on her knees taking Ben deep between her lips. She made a show of taking all of his cock into her mouth and down her throat. She worked till he short cum down the back of her throat. As his member pulsed in the mouth she looked into the mirror and smiled. With the darkness in the other room she couldn't see that Albert and Emma didn't care. When Albert had spent his second shot in Emma's ass they were so relaxed they drifted off to sleep. They missed Zofia being taken roughly in doggie fashion. She put on a verbal display for her new lover and her husband, but again it was wasted on Albert and Emma. Albert woke with Emma sucking his cock hard. At that moment he did not think of where his cock had last been. Emma however had. She had used the time when Zofia and her Master were sleeping to get a warm wash cloth. Emma had a talent and soon she was coaxing yet another load from Albert. After that the two snuggled under the covers. But it was too much for Albert. He wanted Emma again. This time the two let the passion run wild. Since both had enjoyed orgasms the length of time it took was considerable, but neither noticed or cared. Zofia was used twice in the night but it was not as much pleasure as she would have liked. She shrugged and thought of what Albert must be going thru watching, so she endured it. The next morning Zofia stuck her head in the room. "You two get cleaned up and out. We don't want you back till 6 pm this evening." Zofia slammed the door and went back to be with Ben. Emma and Albert showered together. Albert washed Emma body paying attention to all of her. Again he saw the angry red whelps on her ass and the redness of the asshole. Albert wondered why Emma or any woman would endure such things. His thoughts then turned to his situation. Emma was touched that in the dining room Albert held her chair for her. When she stood to leave the table he stood. He called her Emma and spoke with respect. Albert ordered for her but that was not the unusual part. Most of the time she was not asked what she wanted first. All in all Albert treated Emma like a lady and she remembered her life before Benjamin. After lunch they walked the nature path. In a secluded spot they stopped and talked. The talk turned to necking. Necking turned to a round of oral sex then one enjoyable missionary session. They were laughing when returned to the room. Zofia heard them in their room. Opening the door she looked at the pair, "It's about time. We were going to invite you down stairs tonight but now you can just stay in the room. I will see to you later Albert." The next sound was the slamming of the door. When Emma heard the door close in Zofia's room she knew the room was empty. She began to set the rooms up as she had done the night before. After she had completed the task Albert and Emma undressed one another. On the bed Albert negotiated into a 69 position. He realized that Emma still had some cum in her but it was his. He enjoyed the mix of their tastes. After loving making they rested in one another's arms. They began an intimate conversation that had nothing to do with sex. Relieved they dozed off only to be awakened by Zofia and Benjamin returning for their second night of sex. Albert didn't watch, he made love to the 21 year old Emma in his bed. He had a peace of mind he had not felt in many a year. Albert had her pussy twice, her ass once and her mouth twice if he counted the 69. Zofia was used hard that night. She even submitted to another round of anal sex. Zofia rationalized it was worth the pain to torture Albert. Little did she know. The next day when they went to leave all four were in the parking lot. Benjamin turned to Emma, "Slave did you do what I told you to do?" Emma dropped her eyes, "No Master, not to the letter." Zofia laughed, "I knew old limp dick didn't have it in him." "Slave you didn't get Al to fuck you 6 times then, just what did you manage?" "Master, Albert had me 11 times." "Liar, you're a lying bitch. Albert can't get it up 11 times in a month." Zofia screamed. Benjamin looked at Emma, "Are you lying slave?" "No Master, on Friday night I was taken in my ass once, my cunt twice, and my mouth once. Saturday on the natural trail I was taken in my cunt and mouth. Last night I was taken in my mouth twice, my cunt twice and my ass once. That makes 11." Benjamin laughed, "Well now Zofia, it looks like you will have to pay off." Zofia looked at Albert, "You bastard, how could you be unfaithful! And with a slut whore like her!" Albert started to defend Emma's honor, but Zofia's glare stopped him. Benjamin looked Emma, "Well slave you will be punished for not following instructions properly." Emma looked down, "Master I have learned to expect nothing less." "Silence you insolence slut. Now get in the car and shut your mouth!" With that Emma left. Benjamin turned to Zofia, "When can I collect?" "Give me a week Ben. I sore and I will need to make arrangements!" "So you lost, what was the bet? I mean what will you have to pay and what would you have won?" Albert questioned. He got no answer then. Ben turned and left. Zofia got in Albert's car in a huff. When Albert shut the door she lashed out. "How dare you ask me such a question, you asshole! The bet was personal between me and Benjamin!" After that the drive home was silent and cold. When Albert had all unloaded Zofia let her wrath flow, "You asshole, I am so mad at you for fucking around on me. Didn't you listen to our wedding vows? I will expect you to take your discipline like a man. But for now I don't even want to see you till Saturday. You can sleep here but you be up and gone before I get up. Don't even think about coming home before 11 pm. Now get out of my sight!" Zofia's bet with Ben was a weekend in Reno. If she won she would meet Ben in Reno and he would give her a little spending money to gamble and treat her to wonderful dinners. If she lost, as she had done, she would still meet Ben in Reno but he would bring his slave and things would be more his way. It was not all that bad but she was aggravated that Albert would have sex with another woman. And he did it more times according to that whore than he had with her during their wedding week. Add to that the fact Albert had been enjoying sex as Ben was using her. It was Zofia's intention to humiliate and embarrass Albert but he was too busy to notice! Albert went to the guest room. He took a long shower then started his preparation. True to the instructions Zofia didn't see Albert all week. When she got up Saturday morning she didn't find Albert in the house. She looked in his closet and noticed it looked bare. By noon when there was no Albert, Zofia began to wonder. She went on line and saw that on the previous Monday Albert had withdrawn $10,000.00 from their joint saving account. She was furious. She fumed all day Saturday and Sunday. Albert had not come home all weekend. Zofia decided to protect herself as she put it. She took off that Monday. Zofia closed all their joint accounts and put them in another bank in her name. The money protected Zofia was smug. She called for Albert at his office to gloat. Witht the call she learned Albert had left his job the Monday previous. Zofia want home and laughed. Where would he go? When his money ran out and Albert found out he couldn't tap their joint accounts, he would come crawling back. It was just a matter of time she thought. By the time Zofia had learned of Albert's disappearance he and Emma were at her sister's home in St. Louis MO. After a short stay of two weeks, Albert headed out. He landed at an old friend's home in Dayton OH. It took Albert almost six months to work himself to a final destination. He took a full time job in Bangor ME. He concluded he could get no farther for his past unless he wanted to tread water. It was a year before Zofia's divorce was final. With her lawyer's help she had claimed all their assets and even Albert's retirement accounts. When the retirement money came thru she paid off the house. With that Zofia felt secure and ready for her new life. During the first few months of Albert's absence the neighbors expressed their shock and sorrow. Zofia had learned that Emma too was missing so she told a story of how she had been deserted for a 21 yo tramp. That got her a lot of sympahty. Zofia had a host of neighbor men to mow the lawn and do the manly things for her. As time progressed and Zofia's door began to revolve with men the neighbor wives put a stop to their husbands' aid to her. She soon became the main topic of gossip of the neighborhood. Albert, who now used his middle name Martin, was working as an assistance manager for the oldest hotel in Bangor. He had started as a night clerk and had worked his way to the second highest position at the hotel. It had been just short of 2 years since Martin had left Zofia. He was sitting in the hotel dining room reading a book of poetry. He had come in on his Friday off to finish some paper work. With the lunch crowd gone Martin was eating a leisurely meal. He was interrupted by a female voice. Martin looked up to see a hotel guest. Her name was Elaine Morrow. He had spoken to her several times in the week of her stay. Ms. Morrow had commented that her home was having the heating system renovated so she had elected to get out of the way. Elaine Morrow was a handsome woman. She was 5' 4" tall and perhaps 135 pounds. She did not try and hide her age with heavy makeup but then again age had been kind to her. She had a delicate smile and dark green eyes that were pleasant to look upon. Her hair was auburn and most probably kept that shade. "I saw you were reading poetry, may I join you? I do hate to eat alone." Martin was surprised and questioned if he should be seen eating with a guest. But her smile won him over. If it were not acceptable he would make sure it did not happen again. The waiter seemed to know Ms. Morrow and was quick to serve her. As she ate Martin read to her from a book he had purchased at a second hand book store. After the dishes were cleared they drank coffee. At one point Mr. Warren, the manager came thru the dining room and noticed Marin and Ms. Morrow. He cast a look but went on his way. Martin decided he would ask if he had acted inappropriately but that could wait. Martin and Elaine, as he had asked to be called, lingered till late in the afternoon. Just as she was about to leave the table she asked Martin if he would accompany her to a local civic play that evening. She explained, being single, and her children all busy she was without escort. Martin accepted before he considered the possible consequences. That evening he called for Ms. Elaine Marrow at the front desk. She asked him to come to her room. Martin did and was just a little uncomfortable when she offered him a drink. Begging off, he referred to the poor road conditions. She smiled, collected her coat and offered Marin her arm. The play was enjoyable and the company brought warmth to him. After the play they stopped by the cast party in one of the gathering rooms of the center. Martin was surprised when Elaine introduced him to all in the room. Several seemed a little surprised to see her with a man. That evening Elaine asked to see where Martin lived. She commented she was tired of the four walls in her hotel room. Martin took her by his place and they shared a glass of wine. Elaine kidded Martin about drinking with the roads so bad. As they were leaving his apartment Elaine turned to him just before he opened the door. The Lodge Ch. 02 She stepped to Martin and kissed him on the mouth. She pulled back and looked into his eyes. "Martin I hope you don't think I was too forward but I wanted to do that before we went to the hotel. I wouldn't want to embarrass you where you work." Without thinking Marin pulled Elaine back to him for a much longer and more passionate kiss. When he released her Martin smiled sheepishly. "Elaine, please forgive me for that. I couldn't resist. But I must take you to your hotel before I spoil a wonderful evening." Elaine Morrow raised one eyebrow, "And how would you spoil this wonderful evening?" Martin blushed, "I might act in an ungentlemanly way." Elaine smiled, "I might not want a gentleman. Well what I mean is I might want a man. I am a woman you know." Martin felt the heat of his blush. "Yes Elaine you are a beautiful woman. Any man would be proud to have you on his arm." "Martin, I choose whose arm I accept. I choose whose company I keep. I choose the man that I will allow in my bed." Martin didn't answer he just felt embarrassed. It might have been awkward if Elaine had not leaned to him and kissed his cheek softly. She then whispered in his ear, "Martin I like you every much and I do want you in my bed. I know tonight is not the time, but I want to invite you to take me to a cabin I can use next weekend. I want to get to know you better. You are a wonderful man I and enjoy being with you so much. You have made the dreary stay at the hotel so much more enjoyable." "Thank you Elaine, I have enjoyed tonight also. I only wish it was different." With a puzzled look Elaine asked, "Different? How?" "I just don't want to take you back to the hotel." Elaine smiled and kissed him again. "I believe that is best. But I do want you to take me away next weekend." Martin took Elaine back to the hotel. He escorted her to the elevator. As quickly as the door closed she kissed him again. She wipped his lips clean before the door opened. Martin and Elaine walked out on her floor as if nothing had happened in the elevator. In the doorway Elaine stepped inside. She pulled Martin in the door and gave him another kiss. With the kiss over the opened her purse and gave Martin a card. "Call me and let me know about the offer." Then with a wave she closed the door. Martin went down the elevator and as he did he looked at the card. It was simple with only her name, a phone number, a fax number and her cell printed on it. When Martin got in his apartment the phone was ringing. It was Elaine. They talked like teenagers till the sunrise, neither wanting to say good-bye. The week went quickly and soon it was the weekend. When Martin had first asked for the weekend off it was refused, but by Wednesday Mr. Warren seemed to begrudgingly give in. With it winter and the poor road conditions Elaine dove to Martin's apartment to pick him up. Their ride was a new all-wheel drive Range Rover. Elaine insisted that Martin drive as she gave directions. The two hour drive was fun with them chatting enjoying the company. When they arrived Martin brought the bags in from the car while Elaine got the heater going. She began to make coffee and Martin started a fire in the fireplace. Lucky for him there were starter logs with the fire wood. Fire going and room heating they sat huddled on the sofa watching the fire. Wrapped in the blanked together they were soon kissing and letting their hands explore the others still clothed body. When the room was warm and comfortable they got up. Martin asked where to put Elaine's bags. She smiled and said in the large bedroom. He did as she wished and picked up his bag. Elaine smiled. "Put that in the big bedroom too. I think we will be a lot warmer if we sleep together. They are predicting 2 or more inches of snow tonight." Martin hesitated. He had not been with a woman in the last two years. The last sex he had enjoyed was with Emma at the lodge before he left Zofia. Elaine saw his hesitation. "Martin, am I too forward and presumptuous? Please don't think I do this often. I just have had a warm feeling since I first saw you at the hotel. I have been a widow for over 10 years. I have no man in my life; a man in that way. I do have two sons but they are married with lives of their own. Please don't' think too badly of me." Martin smiled weakly, "Elaine I had a failed marriage several years back. I don't know if I can...if I am what you want." Elaine walked to Martin and kissed him. "I feel you are just what I want and need. You are a good man that has so much to offer." After roasting wieners and marshmallows in the fire Elaine led Martin to the bedroom. She went into the bathroom and put on her gown. She came out and Martin just looked at her. "I hope I'm not too old and fat." "Not at all, you're beautify," Martin replied. Martin didn't make it to the bathroom, Elaine helped him undress and they got into the bed. She slipped off the gown and the two let their naked bodies touch. In a moment they were kissing. In another moment they were making love. After they had rested Elaine whispered in Martin's ear. "Martin will you allow me my way with you for this weekend?" "What do you mean?" "Martin I want to do something I have thought about since the first time I saw you." "What?" he asked again. "If you trust me you will let me. Just give me your hand." Martin thought he had nothing to lose. He extended one hand. Elaine slipped a latex glove on his hand then began to wrap the hand in tape. When she was finished Martin had lost the use of that hand. When she was happy with her work she asked for his other hand. Stunned but not knowing what to do he followed her request. In a matter of ten minutes Martin was without the use of either hand. It did cross his mind that Elaine might want to do him harm but at that point he was so confused he didn't care. With the lights out Elaine began to explain her desire. "Martin I want you to be totally dependent on me for the rest of our stay. I want to pamper you and take the time fully know you." "How will this help?" Martin said as he touched her with his tape bound hands. "I get to be your private nurse. I get to feed you, bathe you, and even help you in the bathroom." That hit Martin. Yes he could pee maybe but what about the other? How could he allow that?" "I don't know about that Elaine." "Just trust me Martin. I think you will learn to enjoy." That said Elaine began to kiss down his body. She lingered on Martin's nipples and played with his navel. When she got to his manhood it was again erect. She took him in her mouth and worked on him. Martin could only relax and enjoy the sensation. Elaine did not stop till he came in her mouth. She swallowed all then sucked him clean. "There now Martin, can you sleep now?" she asked. Totally relaxed he groaned and drifted off to sleep with Elaine's head on his arm. The weekend was incredible. Elaine was so attentive. She bathed him and even helped him in the bathroom. Elaine shaved Martin and neatly trimmed his pubic hair. She dressed Martin and fed him. She talked with him constantly. The bond between them was growing. At 5 p.m. on Sunday night Elaine cut the tape off Martin's gloved covered hands. "See that wasn't all that bad. Now will you make love to me one more time before we leave?" Martin swept Elaine off her feet and into his arms. He carried her to the bed and placed her there. He looked down at her and removed his robe. He got on the bed and knelt between her spread legs. "Elaine I have not enjoyed you this way yet." Martin moved his mouth to her pussy and began to enjoy the warm wet lips. He didn't care he had deposited his sperm in her many times that weekend. She moaned with pleasure and guided his lips to her utmost pleasure. When she had taken all she could she begged Martin to stop. He did stop the oral sex but then he climbed on Elaine and enjoyed her feminine charms once more. The drive back to the city was too short. Martin kissed Elaine good-bye but didn't want her to go. She said she felt the same way but it had to be. Martin went to his bedroom with a little gloom that night. Why Elaine couldn't stay the night was she had to be in Boston early the next morning on business. She was accompanied by her youngest son Andrew. With the flight Elaine turned off her cell phone and did not turn it back on till later in the evening. She didn't notice the voice mail. Martin went to work on Monday morning. He was greeted by an angry boss. Martin did his best to avoid Mr. Warren but that was impossible. Marin did not understand his boss's anger toward him that day. Elaine had a full 4 days of meeting and appointments. She did not rely on her phone when she was alway, but rather her laptop. It was easier for someone to e-mail her than to have to answer the phone. Many a time Elaine had her thoughts on Martin and her distraction was noticed by Andrew. It was Wednesday before Martin learned why he was in such disfavor with Mr. Warren. Elaine Morrow and her family owned the hotel. Not only the hotel but the local paper and TV station were among their holding. She was one of the wealthiest women in the state. Harold Warren accused Martin of trying to marry up. Martin went back to his apartment. He first tried to call Elaine but got no answer. His conclusion was he had just been a silly fling. Martin didn't want that again. That evening Martin settled with his landlord and packed. Thursday he went to work and handed in his resignation. He also left a note for Elaine should she seek him. By noon Thursday Martin was on the road. He was just outside of Portland when he had a blow out. It was late so he changed the tire and sought a place to stay the night. The next morning he was looking for a tire store. He found none with his need. Martin had to drive back to Portland and look for a tire dealer. With no destination in mind Martin too his time and even ate brunch. He found a tire store and did get his tire replaced. Not only that but they put it on his car after rotating it to the front and putting the spare in the trunk. It was just past 2 p.m. when Martin set out again toward the south. He was considering going all the way to Florida. At 2 p.m. that same day Elaine Marrow and her son Andrew arrived back in Bangor. She wanted to go to the hotel and see Martin. She was surprised Martin had not called. It was then she looked at her phone and saw the voice mail. When she dialed into the system she got the first message. It had come thru on Monday. "Hello Elaine, I enjoyed our time and I hope to see you again. Sorry I missed you. Call me." The second message was on Wednesday and it had a different tone. "Elaine, I see you have been busy. I want to thank you for our time. I can only guess why. I found out today you own this hotel. It came as a shock. I understand now. Guess this is good bye." Just outside the hotel she cried realizing what Martin must be thinking. When Elaine composed herself, she and Andrew went in so she could find Martin and explain he was special, not just a fling. Her despair only grew when she found Martin had resigned the day before. It was Mr. Warren that broke the news. Harold Warren became very worried at that moment. If Ms. Morrow found it was he that had broken the news to Martin and made the accusation he might be terminated. And to make matters worse Martin had left a note for Ms. Morrow. Harold debated and knew he had best face the music. He got the sealed envelope and handed it to his employer. Elaine read the note. "Elaine, may you always have the best in life. I shall never forget our weekend together. Martin." All she could do was cry. As his mother cried Andrew went to work. He checked the employee records and got the address and phone for Martin Blain. He called and found the number disconnected. Andrew called the manager of the apartment and found Martin Blain had settled his lease and had moved out the day before. "Mother, Martin has moved out. His landlord said he mentioned Florida. He might still be in the state. If he is, we'll find him." Elaine stood but her legs gave way and she started to fall. Andrew managed to get hold of her and with Mr. Warren's help they got her in a chair. Andrew called an ambulance and rode with his mother to the hospital. Elaine was so distraught she didn't argue with her son. In the emergency room they checked her for injuries and gave her a mild sedative to calm her. Andrew was on the phone. The time as almost 4 p.m. when Martin saw the sign indicating the state line was 5 miles ahead. Just under the sign was a state police patrol car. As Martin passed the policeman he checked his speed. He was 5 miles under the limit. The patrol car pulled out onto the highway and accelerated till it was close behind Martin. He looked in the rearview and noted the police car on his bumper. Martin checked his speed again and even slowed a little more. The patrol car held its spot. Looking up Martin noticed he was just 2 miles from the state line. As he looked into the mirror again Martin saw the red flashing lights. For a moment he debated if he should try to make the state line. He knew in reality that only worked in the movies. Martin pulled to the shoulder of the road. From his experience in California, Martin sat with both hands on the top of the steering wheel and waited for the policeman. There was a tap in his window and Martin moved slowly to roll the glass down. Looking up at the patrolman Martin asked, "What have I done wrong officer?" "Not a thing sir. I'm just checking. Are you Martin Blain?" That did not startle Martin all that much for with the computer in his car the officer would have the registration information. "Yes sir, I'm Martin Blain, do you need my ID and insurance?" "Not at all sir, I just wish you to know you have an urgent message. If you don't mind I have the number in my phone. I would be greatly appreciate it if you will take the call." The officer handed the ringing phone to Martin. Martin took the phone wondering what all this was about. When the phone was answered a man was on the line. "This is Andrew," the voice said. "Andrew, this is Martin Blain and I was asked..." "Martin, I am so glad we located you. Mother has fallen and has been injured. She wanted to talk with you desperately." Elaine was sitting on the exam table listening and her heart lifted when she heard Martin's name mentioned. "How is Elaine, she's not hurt badly is she? She will be ok? Where is she?" "Martin, mother is going to be fine, but as I say she was injured. She is here at Memorial Hospital in Bangor. She fell and I got her here." "How badly is she injured? How did it happen? Are you sure she'll be OK?" "I believe so Martin. She is here with me, I think she can talk. Hold just a moment please." The policeman saw that Martin was concerned and slightly upset. Andrew looked at him mother, "Can you talk mother? I have Martin on the line." Shaking her head 'yes' and fighting to get control over her sobs Elaine took the phone. "Martin..." she got out before she began to cry. "Elaine, are you alright. Why are you crying? Are you in pain?" "No Martin, well yes. What I mean is that I slipped on the ice out in front of your hotel and landed on my...dignity so to speak." She managed a little laugh. "I landed and tried to catch myself. I hurt not only my dignity but also my wrists. They are about to x-ray them. I hope they aren't hurt too bad." Elaine began to cry again. "Elaine are you ok, can I come back and see you. I just have to see you." "Oh Martin will you please. I just don't know how I can face this without you." "Sure Elaine, I'll be there as quick as I can. I'm...well I'm a few hours away but I'll be there as quick as I can." Handing the phone back to Andrew, Elaine began to sob again. "Martin you drive careful, I'll be here with mother till you arrive. Now may I speak to the officer?" Andrew got the troopers name and badge number. Martin began the return trip. He was not at all concerned with the speed limit as he drive back. Each state patrol car just waved him on. It was late in the night when Martin speed into the parking lot. He asked for Elaine Morrow and got her room number. When he got to the room Elaine was sleeping and Andrew was by her side. "How is Elaine?" Martin asked with worry in his voice. Andrew smiled, "She'll be fine. She is resting; they had to give her a sedative because she was so upset." Andrew as truthful but he did not mention the true cause of his mother's anxiety. "May I stay with her for a while?" Martin asked. Andrew smiled, "I would appreciate that, I do need to get home. Mother and I have been in Boston for 4 days." And as an afterthought he added, "That's why mom missed your two phone calls." Martin found himself alone in the room with Elaine. He was relieved to see her resting but still worried about her injuries. He moved a chair to the side of the bed and placed his hand on Elaine's arm just above her cast. That is how he slept that night. Elaine awoke to find Martin in the room with her. He was standing looking at her when she opened her eyes. "How are you feeling Elaine?" Martin asked softly. With a smile she said, "I'm fine...now." Then her expression changed, "Oh Martin I must look a fright, I mean I haven't even brushed my hair." Martin touched her cheek softly, "Your beautiful Elaine. Just relax." "Martin...I'm so embarrassed but I do need. I mean can you help me to the bathroom. I am desperate." After a moment of thought she continued, "If...I mean I could call a nurse if..." Martin smiled, "I don't mind at all." He looked at her hands now confined in the casts. "I believe I understand your position." Elaine blushed. Martin helped Elaine to the bathroom. He remained in the room with her and pulled her panties down. Holding the gown her gown aside Martin helped to take the seat. Elaine looked at Martin with question. "Oh I'll stay with you. It is no use for me to leave, for you will need help before you get up. I can call a nurse?" Elaine blushed but said, "No please stay and help me. I would much rather it be you than someone I didn't know." When her business was complete and she was up with panties back in place, Elaine got a look at herself in the mirror. "Oh I am a fright, just look at me! My makeup is ruined, hair a mess, and I haven't even brushed my teeth." Martin had been looking over Elaine's shoulder as she commented. He turned her to face him them kissed her on the mouth passionately. Elaine responded and embraced Martin as best she could with her casts. Later that morning the doctor released Elaine to go home. Andrew was back with Elaine's Land Rover. He had his wife Gail with him. After introductions Andrew asked, "Martin will you drive mother home. I know she will feel better with you. I'll follow in your car and Gail can bring mine." Martin drove Elaine home. He was amazed for the house was a mansion. The servants waited at the door and carried Elaine's luggage in. Andrew took charge and had them bring in the two suitcases from Martin's car before placing it in one of the empty garage bays. Martin heard one of the servants ask Andrew if Martin would be staying I the guest suite. Andrew replied no, and instructed that Martin's bags be placed in the spared bedroom across from his mother's suite. Getting Elaine into her suite Martin turned to leave. "Martin please stay and help me. I need to bathe and... Will you please stay?" Martin stayed and helped Elaine. The most difficult thing for her was to have to use the toilet and have Martin clean her. She turned so read her ears burned. Martin took it in stride. "Elaine it not like we all don't have that need." The Lodge Ch. 02 Elaine cried, "I know but...I am so embarrassed." "Don't be Elaine. You did the same for me. It is just a labor of love. Like a mother changing a diaper." Elaine sniffled, "I know but I don't want to think of me being in diapers again." Martin stayed the day and was with Elaine constantly. He fed her, offered her drinks, even used the napkin on her moth. They both enjoyed the time together. That evening Martin bathed Elaine again and dressed her for bed. Putting her in bed he turned to leave. "Martin, will you sleep with me? I might need to get up in the night and I am helpless right now." Martin smiled, "What will the servants think of you?" "They will think I am lucky to have one that cares enough to be with me." Martin showered and came to bed with Elaine. With the lights out they cuddled then began to kiss. Slowly, as if unwrapping a present Martin began to make love to Elaine. For him it was a feeling he could never describe. As he filled her with his seed Elaine began to cry. "Did I hurt you?" Martin asked. "No" Elaine sobbed. Deflated Martin asked, "Was it that bad?" "No, that is now why I'm crying," Elaine sobbed. "That was the most beautiful experience of my life. You touched me in a way I have never felt. But..." "But?" Martin asked waiting for the shoe to fall. "But it is a lie...I mean part of it was... I lied to you Martin and I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. Don't hate me. I know it was wrong." "What was wrong?" Martin asked very confused. "My lie was wrong," Elaine confessed sobbing even harder. "What lie Elaine?" "Oh Martin, I was so frightened. I just didn't know what to do. I fainted in the hotel and Andrew made me come go to the hospital. And with your call I...I lied." "What lie?" Elaine stopped crying for a second, "Martin, I have no injuries to my wrists. I didn't fall; Andrew and Mr. Warren caught me." "Why then?" Martin asked. "When I heard you on the phone, I just wanted to see you. I wanted to try and explain. I wanted you to know I would never do anything to hurt you. I was out of town and when I am I depend on E-mails not my phone. I could only imagine what you thought of me. I just had to see you. I didn't want to apologize on the phone. I want to see you; I wanted to hold you. I wanted to explain." Elaine broke into sobs again. Martin had lifted himself with his arms so he could look into Elaine's eyes. She found it had to hold eye contact. "Let me understand this. You told me you were hurt. You had casts put on your wrists. You spent the night in the hospital all to get me to come back?" Elaine sobbed, "Yes, and I so sorry please forgive me. Please." Martin just looked at Elaine. She begged, "Can you forgive me?" Martin spoke softly, "Elaine Morrow what you have done is unbelievable. And you did it all for me. I have never felt so honored in all my life." With that Martin quieted Elaine's soft sobs with a long passionate kiss. The kiss became another even longer and more pleasurable love session. When Martin rolled off he lay beside Elaine holding her. "You know I do need to go to my bed if I'm to uphold your reputation." "Please stay with me a little longer. And you know the only honorable thing to do for my reputation is to make an honest woman of me." "I don't know about that right now, but I do know you won't get your casts off till Monday!" Martin remarked. "On dear, guess I deserve at least that, but will you look after me till then?" Elaine asked. Martin kissed her gently, "Elaine I'll be with you till you wish me to leave." Elaine didn't respond with words but she did where her body. Martin did get to his bed in time to mess it up. He was sure he had fooled no one but he wanted to do his best to protect Elaine. A month later Martin was working for Morrow Holding. He was to replace the retiring chief accountant. That was not a problem for Albert Martin Blain had been a CPA in California. In those weeks he and Elaine had spent all their spare time together. On the night of her 51st birthday, just before her party, Martin got down on one knee and proposed. He had an engagement ring and slipped it on her finger. A little later Elaine made it official to her family. Jack Jr. and his wife Lilly seemed pleasantly surprised. Eve Morrow Templeton and her husband Jackson seemed happy for Elaine. It came as no surprise to Andrew and Lilly. However Ashley Marrow was not at all happy and made her feeling known. Ashley asked to speak to her mother in private. Andrew took Martin aside and apologized for his sister's action. He did his best to let Martin know that it was just part of her personality. In the study Ashley threw a file at her mother. "Mother this man is just after your money. Look at the life he led in California!" Elaine smiled, "Ashley why would you go to that extent?" "Mother the man is a bun and will just steal you blind. Just read the report." "Ashley it will surprise you to know I have read the report. In fact Jack collected the information for me. Look at the date. You didn't wonder why it was dated three months ago?" Ashley picked up the file and checked the date. No she had not questioned that for she had not even looked at the date. "Jack called me when you asked for the background check on Martin. I told him it was ok to give you the file." "Mother you can't be serious. You let this man touch you when...? I don't understand you at all!" Ashley said angrily. "Ashley, maybe you just don't understand love. You can love a person even if you don't see eye to eye. Your love doesn't stop because they do things you do approve of." "Really mother, I think this man has you twisted round his finger." Elaine smiled. She opened the top desk drawer and took out another file. "Ashley I love you. I always will. I don't approve of all you do but you are my daughter and part of me. Do you doubt I love you?" "No mother, that is not in question here, it's that man!" "Just read this." Elaine handed the file to her daughter. "And after you do remember I still love you." Elaine watched as her daughter opened the file. It was about Ashley's activates for the last 5 years. Looking up in shock she snapped, "Mother how dare you spy on me! This is my personal life. I mean I don't question what you do!" Ashley was jarred back to the fact she was trying to do just that. "Ashley, I have read the contents of that file. I know of many of your little 'adventures' so to speak, both sexual and with recreational drugs. I don't approve but it is your life. You will have to learn for yourself. Now if I can love you knowing that about you, and you said you are sure I love you. Why can't I love Martin?" Ashley went on the defensive. "Mother you had no right! It is my personal life. I would never do this to you." Elaine smiled. "My daughter, yes you would if you had thought of it. I will make sure you don't in the future. Now I am going back to Martin. He is the man I want to marry. I hope you will join us but you are free to leave. I will love you either way." Martin and Elaine were married a month later in a private ceremony at their home. Ashley was there and did her best but she could not totally conceal her displeasure. By this time the true nature of Zofia had shown thru. No one in the neighborhood would speak to her. Her yard went unattended till she hired a service. All the little things in the house she had to hire done. She had no steady boyfriend for all the men in her life just wanted sex. The strain was showing on her face and in her life. Two years after Elaine Morrow became Elaine Blain, Ashley married. The wedding was elaborate and draining. It seemed two spoiled children were going to try to live together. One Ashley Morrow and Raymond Whitman tied the knot and set out on their honeymoon. The marriage was shaky from the start. A year into the marriage Elaine and Martin had separate counseling sessions with the two. Elaine with Ashley and Martin with Raymond was their attempt to help save the marriage. Martin told Raymond if it should ever get so bad that he wanted to resort to verbal abuse or physical actions he was to walk out. Martin made it plain that he would never allow Raymond to strike Ashley no matter how abusive she became. What Martin offered was for Raymond to leave and go to the hotel. He would always have a reservation and it would be without charge. In the second year of the marriage Elaine got a frantic call from Ashley. She and Raymond had had a terrible fight and he had walked out. Ashley was in tears. Elaine contacted Martin. Martin found that Raymond was at the hotel and had been there for three days. Evidently he had not told Ashley where he was staying. Elaine went and picked up Ashley and Martin was with Raymond when the two women arrived. Ashley had been crying. Elaine and Martin looked at the two. Martin spoke, "We have done all we can do for you. Raymond if you love Ashley, and Ashley if you love Raymond, you two will have to work thru this thing together. I suggest you two sit down and remember how and why you fell in love. Neither of the two of you are perfect. You will have to love one another in spite of the imperfections. If you can't agree, please part before the anger grows and try again with cooler heads. If you two wish, you may take the Bridal Suite and renew your personal vows and commitment to one another. I know that Elaine and I have done just that on several occasion." It was just past 2 a.m. when the phone rang beside Martin's and Elaine's bed. Martin answered it. He listened a moment then replied. "Thank you Mr. Warren, you are not only a faithful employee but a true friend of the Morrow family." Elaine asked what that was about. "Oh it seems that Ashley and Raymond are in the Bridal Suite." "Aren't you the sly one, Mr. Blain." "I don't know about that Mrs. Blain but..." Martin kissed Elaine, "How about us recommitting ourselves." "This is not the Bridal Suite Mr. Blain, but it will do." Zofia's 50th birthday passed with no one noticing. No cards, no cake, no party. Her life had become mundane. She had aged beyond the 50 years of her life. She had few dates and was asked not to visit the Lodge several years earlier. She had become do desperate she had begun hanging around the local truck stop for male companionship. She had contracted an STD 4 times and had lost her figure. Her breasts, once her primary asset, now sagged pitifully. She was a lonesome and on antidepressant medication. She had begun long before to blame all her problems on Albert Blain. She would find him and get even. She hired a locating service and got his phone number and address. Zofia was surprised to learn he now lived in Maine. There was a party in the Blain home. All the family, children, and grandchildren were in attendance. The phone rang and was answered in the kitchen by Elaine. She did not usually answer the phone but for this private party the staff had been given the day off with pay. "Blain residence," Elaine said cheerfully. "May I speak to Albert Blain?" asked a female voice. "May I ask who is calling?" Elaine replied. "Just tell him Zofia is on the line!" Elaine knew immediately who Zofia was. "This is Mrs. Blain, how can I help you?" "Well Mrs. Blain you don't know who I am." "I am afraid I do Zofia, I will say it is a surprise to hear from you but not a pleasant one." "Don't you get uppity with me woman. I'm Zofia Blain and the man you call you husband is still married to me!" "I believe you are mistaken Zofia, for you divorced Martin for desertion back in 1996. Martin and I were married in 1997 so it is quite legal. Now if you don't mind I need to get back to our party." "Party you say, well let me talk to that worm Albert! He is still my husband and I demand to speak with him." "Zofia, why are you calling?" "I just located the rat that ran out on me and I'm going to make his life miserable." "Zofia is that a threat." "Not a threat unless you don't put him on the line. And I mean now!" "Zofia have you been drinking?" "What if I have, I still know what I doin'. Now let me talk with that miserable asshole." "I will not tolerate that kind of language. Good bye!" Elaine hung up and started to walk away. The phone rang again. Elaine recognized the number. "Blain residence." "It's me again bitch. You can't be rid of me that easy. I got speed dial." "Wonderful invention, now why are you calling?" "Albert Blain ruined my life and I want payback." "Are you speaking of money, Zofia?" "Hell honey you ain't got enough money to buy me off. If you don't get him on the line and I mean now you will regret it." "How so Zofia?" "I'll make sure his employer know all about his past. I'll send it to the news paper in your town. I'll put photos on the internet. I give out your phone number and address. I call at all hours, I send letters to you and all your neighbors. I want the world to know what Albert, now the man you call Martin, did to me!" "Zofia, I am going to hang up now and if you ever all here again you will regret it!" Martin had walked in the kitchen to find his wife. He saw her composed anger and watched. She looked at him. "Really girlie, what you gonna' do?" "Call back and see Zofia." Elaine said with a set jaw. Martin was stunned. "Now I must go, Martin is in the kitchen with me and you have interrupted our party long enough. We are celebrating the birth of our first great grandchild." "Really well just wait and see what I do." Into the phone Elaine asked, "Martin, is there anything you wish to discuss with Zofia?" Zofia heard Martin's reply, "No, only good-bye" "Well Zofia you must have heard that. Now good-bye." Martin stepped to his wife. Elaine was shaking from anger. In a few seconds the phone rang again. It was Zofia. Elaine took the phone and directed the call to voice mail. She then keyed in a code that would direct all calls from that number into voice mail. Smiling at her husband, Elaine hugged him tight. "Let's not let this affect the spirit of our party. The next day copies of the phone conversations were sent to the authorities. Elaine simply chose to forget about it. Martin had his reservations but did not mention them to Elaine. At 1:30 p.m. Friday two weeks later a pair of well dressed man entered Zofia's employment. They identified themselves as Federal Marshals. They were seeking a Zofia Blain. Zofia had done more research and found that Albert had married onto money. When the two men approached her desk she smiled. They identified themselves and produced badges. Zofia just glanced not being impressed. They asked to see her in private but she would not allow it. She wanted witnesses for she felt the men were rent a cop's that were sent to scare her. "No, no let's just get it out right here in front of all these witnesses," she laughed. One man looked at the other and shrugged, "OK if that is the way you want it. Zofia Blain we have a warrant for your arrest. You will come with us. If you wish, you can call your attorney." "Oh really and what is the charge?" The officer held out the paper. Zofia took it looking it over looking expecting a joke. By that time the entire office was listening. "It is a Federal Charge of Interstate Assault and Harassment. Now if you wish you can call your lawyer and have him meet you at this address." The man handed her a card. Zofia laughed and said, "I'm not going anywhere with you, you asshole rent a cop!" "Ma'am we can do this the easy way or the hard way." the first officer said. "If you lay one hand on me I will call the police and have you both arrested!" The officers looked at one another. Both shook their head. Zofia was smug, thought she had called their bluff and they had folded. But she was surprised when the men quickly subdued her and had her in handcuffs. She tied to kick them and soon found herself in shackles. Zofia's boss had arrived. Zofia explained she was being kidnapped. The officer produced his credential and the warrant for inspection. Zofia's boss took the information and confirmed it. When he returned he looked at Zofia, "Looks like they're on the level. You are going with them. Just what are you involved in?" Zofia broke down and cried. It was wasted on the officers. They arranged to leave Zofia's purse with her boss and escorted her out the door in cuffs and shackles. In the Federal Building a prosecutor laid out the charges and played the evidence for Zofia. He explained the charges coudl be handled this time, if she promised to never call or contact Mr. and Mrs. Martin Blain again. And further she would have to promise to never visit the state of Maine. He went on to say he would prepare papers allowing her to plead guilty to the changes with no penalty on the conditions they had discussed. If she did not sign the papers she would be brought into Federal Court. It was her choice. She would be returned to her office and could consult council before signing but she had only 7 days to return the guilty plea before the deal expired. Zofia was assured it would not go away for the complaint had been filed by the Attorney General of the State of Maine. That was the final blow. Zofia was beaten. When the officers delivered Zofia to her office she was screaming the men had sexually assaulted her. With the security guard present the two officers explained that if she ever mentioned that again they would file charges on her for slander. They had witnesses and a tape showing she rode in the back seat alone. Their tone told her they were not kidding. Zofia went into the office just before quitting time to face her co-workers. She was humiliated by what had happened and how she was treated on her return. At that time Martin and Elaine were loading their car to head to the cabin. He had placed their two suitcases in the back. Elaine held another. Martin took it and placed it in the back of the car. Turning to Elaine he asked, "What's in that bag?" Elaine hugged him and whispered in his ear. "You will see soon enough Martin. Remember it is my turn." Martin kissed his wife and escorted Elaine to her car door. He opened it and helped her in. Under the wheel they headed out. He wondered what was in the bag. Each time they spent at the cabin had been unique. He knew this time would be no different. As they drove he frowned a little. "What's wrong Martin, did you forget something?" "No Elaine, I only wish I could forget. Zofia just crossed my mind." "Zofia won't be a problem. Did I ever tell you that my cousin is the State Attorney General?" Martin looked at her and said, "I thought your cousin was the Head of the State Highway Patrol." "Yes that is true, but the Attorney General is another cousin." Martin smiled, "Remind me to never anger you my love." Elaine leaned to Martin and kissed him. "But Martin you have made me angry several times. But I always forgave you." Then with a twinkle in her eye she added, "And the making up was always more than repayment." Martin would never divulge what happened that weekend but it would forever bring a smile and warmth when he recalled it to his mind.
