While they went over her case carefully, Luann clung to Angel in a needy manner. Mark explained that once he presented her case to the court, it could take a few days or weeks before they heard anything. If the appeal failed, which he felt certain it wouldn’t, he would file an appeal even higher up the food chain. They thanked him before they were escorted to the dining hall.
“Lulu, why don’t you try eating something?” Mom encouraged. “I’m worried about you, child.” Luann simply looked down at her tray and pushed her food around. “Bad day with the lawyer?” Mom finally asked Angel with concern.
“No,” Angel mused as she looked at Luann. “He had really good news.”
“So why is our little Lulu acting like someone just shot her dog?” Nana asked. “You’ve been behaving yourself, haven’t you, Angel?”
“Yes, ma’am,” Angel said. “It’s just that if the appeal goes through, Kemper thinks the DA is going to take another shot at Luann to make himself look good. Which means she’ll have to go to county until her trial.”
“I see.” Nana nodded in understanding. “Now listen up, Lulu, this is your chance. Don’t blow it just because you’ll miss tall, dark, and stubborn here. You will be fine in county if you stop acting like the scared little bird you used to be. Now eat.”
Luann nodded in agreement as she took a few small bites.
“Parole?” Luann asked in a meek tone as she looked up at Angel.
“Gone.”
“Oh, brother.”
“Don’t shrug that off. You’re coming up, and they have been very forgiving lately,” Mom pointed out.
“Yeah?”
“Oh, no, you don’t,” Mom chastised her. “You aren’t going into your hearing acting like you don’t care. Not this time. You get your sorry butt out of here and don’t come back.”
“Damn right,” Becks agreed.
Angel could feel the walls closing in around her. What if I try and they just shoot me down again? Luann will be left on her own. Maybe she’d be better off without a tired old thief hanging around.
Her fears screamed through her as she pretended to ignore her family and their well-meaning advice.
Later in the rec room, Angel was doing everything she could to avoid everyone, including Luann.
“I’m worried about her,” Mom said when she finally managed to corner Angel. “She’s not talking again. It’s just like when she got here. I’ve been trying since we got here, and all I get is a sad shrug. If she thinks you’ll be joining her on the outside, it might just be the push she needs.”
“Why is this up to me?”
“Because she’s in love with you, and you love her,” Mom whispered so the other inmates couldn’t hear. “Don’t bother denying it. Just promise me, and her, that you’re going to walk into your hearing acting like the mature, intelligent woman that you are. Don’t think about denying it. Just promise me.”
“I promise.”
“Hey, Walt, passing your bitch around?” Steger snickered as she brushed past her.
“Steger,” she spat out with disgust. “What brings you out from under your rock, you evil little troll?”
“I’m just saying if you’re sharing these days, I don’t want to miss my turn.” Steger cackled as she nodded over to the corner.
A sturdy inmate Angel had never seen before was trying to paw Luann. “What the fuck?” Angel grumbled as she pushed Steger aside. She smiled as she watched Luann push the woman away from her.
“Nice to see you’re still in there,” Angel whispered proudly at how Luann was defending herself. Still the woman was very muscular and would probably end up hurting Luann.
“Yo, Blondie!” The activity in the room stilled as Angel stormed over. “You brain-damaged or something?”
“What?” the stranger asked in bewilderment as she looked in her direction.
“Brain-damaged it is.” Angel growled as she glared down at the stranger. “Get your grubby paws off my bitch.”
“Her? Hell, I’ve already had her.”
“Right.” She sneered. The guilty look in Luann’s eyes tore at her heart. “Look, since you’re new here, I won’t kill you. Allow me to spell things out for you. She is my bitch. I don’t share. So, unless you want to challenge me, get your slimy hands off her.”
“That’s not what I heard.”
“Who told you that?” Angel demanded as she pointed to Steger. “Oh, I see. You took the word of the rodent who’s been sniffing after her since she got here?” She glared at Luann. “Who do you belong to?” She was filled with a feeling of dread when she caught the angry look Luann was sporting.
Between the long session with Mark, Angel’s attitude regarding her parole hearing, and being pushed around by this thug, it appeared that Luann had enough. Normally, Angel would have been proud of her. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the time or place for newfound bravado.
Everyone’s mouths hung open when Luann failed to respond. Not now, baby, you can be mad at me later, Angel mentally pleaded, only to receive a look of defiance.
“It looks like she isn’t yours,” the stranger gloated as she reached for Luann. Without hesitation, Angel caught the woman’s fingers and bent them backward until the woman was on her knees crying, pleading for her to stop.
“Never touch my property,” Angel hissed before she pushed the stranger aside. She turned toward Luann, who greeted her with a blank stare.
“Forgetting your place?” Angel growled as she grabbed Luann’s blouse and yanked her to her. She captured Luann’s mouth roughly.
The kiss was cold and demanding. Luann failed to respond. Angel bit down on Luann’s bottom lip until she felt the blood trickling down her chin. She licked the blood from her lips as she pushed Luann against the table.
She kept the material of Luann’s shirt wrapped in one hand. The other she used to unbutton Luann’s jeans. Luann stared up at her with a challenging gleam in her eyes. Angel yanked her pants down as far as she could with one hand. She pulled Luann back up and hungrily reclaimed her mouth.
She felt a small glimmer of hope when Luann finally responded to her kiss. Angel pushed her down.
“Pull your pants down, then bend over.”
Luann gave her an incredulous look that seemed to say, Honey, what the hell are you talking about?
“Do it,” Angel ordered, knowing there was no way she could back down without endangering Luann’s life.
Luann gave her a quizzical look before her eyes dimmed with a sudden understanding, and she complied with her instructions. Angel sneered for the benefit of all those who were watching.
She didn’t miss the hungry look in the eyes of the stranger who had started everything. She ran her hands along Luann’s shapely behind as she kicked her legs apart. She felt Luann trembling as she clutched the edge of the table. She raised her hand and slapped her tender flesh.
Before Luann could prepare herself, she delivered a second blow. Luann released a groan as Angel’s hand contacted her backside once again.
“Who do you belong to?” Angel asked in a slow, careful tone.
“You.” Luann moaned in response just as she struck her once again.
Angel was careful not to strike too hard despite the way she made it look to the others. “Say it again,” she demanded as she continued to spank her.
“I’m yours,” Luann choked out as her body quivered.
Angel felt Luann’s desire on her fingers as her hand maintained a steady rhythm. Luann continued to cry out that she belonged to Angel as her hand began to roughly massage her firm, round backside. She hated the games their life forced upon them. She had no choice; if she didn’t play out the charade completely, no one would believe either of them.
Luann’s hips jerked in response as Angel plunged into her wetness. “I’m your bitch,” Luann vowed as she clung to the edge of the table while her hips bucked eagerly against Angel’s touch.
“The guards are coming,” someone alerted them.
“Cum for me now,” Angel demanded as she took Luann deeper. She could feel that Luann was close to the edge, but she was faking as she cried out with pleasure.
Just as the guards approached, Luann pulled her pants up and took her place in Angel’s lap. The guards looked around to see what the disturbance had been. They only found a quiet room filled with women who were trying a little too hard to act as if nothing was amiss.
“That was stupid. You could have been hurt.”
“Sorry.”
“We’ll talk about this later.”
Angel kept a watchful eye on Steger and her new friend. Ready for anything, she kept a tight hold on Luann until it was time to return to their cell.
“Why?” Angel asked, trying to keep her fears from overwhelming her. “Do you think I get some kind of thrill fucking you in front of everyone?”
“No.”
“Then why did you back me into that corner?” she asked as she sat next Luann.
“If you aren’t even going to try, then I better get used to being on my own,” Luann bitterly answered.
“Oh, baby.” Angel sighed as she captured her face in her hands. “I’m going to try. I’m going to do everything I can to get the both of us get out of here.”
“Really?”
“Really,” she tried to reassure her. “I love you. I’m going to play nice for the parole board. I don’t know if any of it will make a difference. I’m going to do everything I can to ensure that we end up together.”
“I thought you were giving up.” Luann sniffed. “I thought you just wanted me to go away.”
“Never,” she vowed before placing a soft kiss on her lips. “I don’t know how you got there, but I’m not trying to get rid of you.”
“I’m sorry.” Luann sniffed once again. “I’m scared.”
“So am I,” Angel confessed. “Now you want to tell me about the snotty bitch Steger sent sniffing after you?”
“Metzger, knew her from juvie. She ran the place,” Luann mumbled as she shamefully turned away. “She broke me.”
Angel felt her anger returning, suddenly wishing that she had hurt Metzger until there was a significant amount of bloodshed.
“Hey,” she cooed as she placed her fingers under Luann’s chin and turned her to face her. “I think she understands that you’re off limits. If she doesn’t, I’ll handle her. I’ll need to be careful since I can’t risk any infractions right now.”
“We still need to make noise tonight,” Luann suggested as she unbuttoned her blouse.
“A little eager, aren’t we?” Angel teased, reclining, allowing Luann to undress her.
“Yes” was purred in response as Luann dropped the last of her clothing onto the floor. She kissed her way up Angel’s body.
Angel grabbed on to the rails of the bed. Luann nestled herself between her legs. The lights were still on as Luann feasted upon her wetness.
“I need to spank you more often.” Angel moaned as Luann teased her throbbing clit with her teeth and tongue. Angel clung to the rails as she prayed for the lights to be shut off, so they could be free to explore each other completely.
After the lights were finally extinguished, Angel urgently rocked against her. Much to her delight, Luann was murmuring with pleasure. She gave herself completely, loving the feel of becoming lost in Luann’s touch.
