Marlena knocked on the door and waited for him to open the door. No answer…she knocked again…still no answer. He was probably upstairs. It was a good thing she had a key. Marlena opened the door and walked in. He was no where in sight but she could hear the shower running upstairs.
She stood in the door way watching him as he stood underneath the shower head letting the water run down his body…his eyes were closed. The sight of his magnificent naked body took her breath away.
John stood there…his eyes were closed…but he knew she was here…he could feel her. It was as if an electrical current passed though his body. He felt his erection growing harder and harder.
Marlena quickly undressed…leaving her clothes scattered all over the floor. She opened the shower door and stepped in behind him…her arms going around his body letting her hands finally rest on his chiseled chest. “Hi Sailor,” she whispered.
He leaned back into her, “Hello pretty lady.” He reached out turned the shower off and slowly turned to face her.
Her eyes found their way to his growing erection. “I see you’re happy to see me.”
He pulled her to him pressing his body into hers, “Always…always.”
Marlena slowly withdrew from his embrace. She looked deeply into his eyes and then slowly knelt down before him. John closed his eyes, his arms reached out until his hands touched each wall of the shower, his legs opened into a wider stance and he held his breath in anticipation of the pleasure Marlena’s mouth would soon be giving him. She placed her hands at the base of his shaft and began moving them slowly up and down. A low moan escaped John’s mouth as Marlena’s hands sent shivers throughout his body. Unable to control herself any longer she moved in closer to his member and gently blew on the tip of it. Another moan escaped from him. The anticipation of her mouth slowly working its magic on him was driving him insane. He could hardly stand still. Marlena enjoyed having him at her mercy…there were so many times their positions were reversed…times he drove her to the brink of ecstasy only to stop and begin all over again…now it was his turn. She saw the slight tremble in his legs…a sure sign he was more than ready to feel her mouth surround his swollen member. As much as she loved teasing him, the truth was she couldn’t hold herself back any longer…her hands went to his waist. She needed him now…using her tongue Marlena traced circles around the tip of his shaft taking him deeper into her mouth with each swirl…as if she was eating a soft serve ice cream cone…slowly adjusting to his size until finally she was able to handle all of him.
John couldn’t believe the exquisite sensations Marlena’s mouth was giving him. “Oh Doc,” he whispered, “You feel so good…baby…please…Marlena….”
The sound of his moans was like music to her ears. She didn’t know who was more turned on…him or her. He always pleased her and now it was her turn to give to him what he always gave to her…total satisfaction. She began to move her mouth faster up and down his shaft…pausing each time at the tip to give it a slight pull.
He didn’t know how much longer he could take it. She was driving him over the edge. “Marlena….you…” the pleasure was so overwhelming he had to wait a moment before he could continue, “you…have…” again he paused, “you have to…stop.” His legs began to shake, if she didn’t stop soon he wouldn’t be able to control himself and as warm and inviting as her mouth was…he wanted to be inside of her when he exploded. “Baby…please…” He realized Marlena had no intention of stopping…it was up to him. It took every ounce of will power he possessed to lower his hands to her shoulders and gently push her away from him. Before she could protest the loss of him in her mouth…she was already in his arms being carried to his bed.
She lay on the bed before him…her hazel eyes filled with desire…waiting for him to come to her…to take her like only he could. “John….please…make love to me now.” The urgency in her voice was unmistakable. He was more than happy to give in to her request…his throbbing member aching to be inside the warmth of her body once again. He wanted to take his time…he wanted to make love to her slowly but they both knew that was impossible…neither one of them could wait that long. So instead he climbed on the bed and positioned himself on his knees between her legs. He took one of her legs and placed it on his shoulder while the other one lay on the bed…her thigh resting against his outer thigh. One hand held her leg steady on his shoulder while the other rested on her waist…in a moment he was inside of her already moving in and out.
Marlena moaned out loud, “John…John…you feel so…” he went deeper inside of her, “good.”
He wanted to be as deep inside of her as humanly possible…he never wanted to leave her…he began to move faster and faster…gripping her leg tighter as he began to pound her body with his thrusts. He would reach that spot…he wouldn’t be satisfied until he did…and then and only then would he give in his pleasure.
She couldn’t control herself, “Just……like…like” her pleasure was so intense she was losing her train of thought, “that…right…Oh…God…right…” Speaking coherently was no longer possible. With every thrust exquisite pleasure overwhelmed her….her body began shaking uncontrollably. She screamed, “yes…yes…yes…” over and over again.
Now he could let himself go…one more long hard thrust…pushing himself as deep as he could inside of her. He moaned her name, “Marlena…Marlena…Marlena…” over and over again as he spilled his seed into her. They were both shaking…unable to stop…unable to breathe…unable to do anything…except let the waves of pleasure wash over them.

Roman stood up, “So that’s it. We’re all set.” He looked at his watch. “We need to leave now so you guys can get in place before he arrives. With any luck, this will all be over shortly.”
Abe tried one more time, “Are you sure you trust this guy?”
“Something doesn’t feel right Roman.” Bo continued, “I just have a bad feeling about this.”
Roman looked at both of them and said, “That’s why you’re my backup…in case anything goes wrong. Now let’s go.”
They all headed out to the rendezvous point…Roman in one car and Bo and Abe following him at a discreet distance.
**************************************
Five minutes later and she was still trembling. John held her in his arms until he could see she stopped shaking. Neither one said anything for a while until finally she spoke, “Oh my God! I have never ever in my entire life felt anything that intense.”
John smiled at her. “You are so beautiful Marlena.”
She sat up and looked in his eyes, “NO! I MEAN IT…when we make love it’s always wonderful, satisfying and unbelievable…but this time…you managed to bring me to a whole new place.” She kissed his lips before she continued, “And frankly I don’t know if my body can take it.”
John didn’t know what to say…how to respond…he loved this woman with his whole heart and all he wanted to do was make her happy. “Doc, I love you…I just want to make you happy.” He kissed her lips gently and slowly made his way to her neck.
“I love you too…but I don’t think I can stand anymore happiness,” she smiled at him, “at least for a little while.”
He pulled her into his arms. They both knew they still had a lot to work out….but for right now it could wait…they would just enjoy being with one another. Sleep came to both of them.
Neither one of them realized it…but everything they said and did had been videotaped and recorded.
An hour later, John was awakened by the sound of his phone ringing. He reached over and answered, “John Borne.” Marlena stirred at the sound of his voice.
It was Roman, “John I hate to do this but I need your help. Can you meet me in one hour on Old Mill Road just inside the abandoned warehouse? I have a lead about Stefano and the guy won’t talk unless you’re there.”
“I’m on my way.” He hung up the phone.
Marlena sat up at the mention of Roman. “Was that Roman you were just talking to?”
He was already out of the bed heading to his shower. “Yeah…he needs my help.” He kept the part about Stefano to himself.
She threw a sheet around her body and followed him, “John I don’t like this…you’re not on the police force. What exactly does he want you to do?”
He hated lying to her but he couldn’t tell her the truth. “Doc, I have to go…I know we have to talk and I’m sorry about this but it’s important. I’ll call you later.” A quick peck on the lips and ten minutes later he was out the door…on his way to meet Roman. If Roman was right they might actually be able to catch Stefano. He had no choice…he had to go.
An uneasy feeling settled over Marlena. Maybe it was because she was in John’s bed when he called and it was her guilt…but she didn’t think so. She needed to talk to someone…Laura. After taking a shower Marlena called Laura and asked her to meet her at the diner.
***************************************
Everything was set. Roman was waiting in the warehouse and Abe and Bo were hidden just out of sight. After a few radio checks he was ready. There was nothing to do but wait. It wouldn’t be much longer.
***************************************
By the time Laura arrived at the diner, Marlena was already there and had a cup of hot coffee waiting for her. “Okay, what’s going on?” She sat across from Marlena.
“I’m sorry to call you so early but I needed to talk to someone.” She took a sip of her tea.
“I take it this has something to do with John…did you guys work everything out?”
**************************************
John parked around the corner and walked the rest of the way. This area was deserted but he wasn’t worried…Roman said to meet him here and that was good enough for him.
**************************************
Roman had been pacing back and forth. This was the hard part…the waiting. He thought he heard a noise…yep…someone was coming. “Listen up guys…I hear someone coming. This could be it. Get ready.”
“Gotcha back bro…we’re right here.” Both Bo and Abe were hiding out of sight. They were waiting for Roman to say the code word. If there was any trouble they would be inside in a flash.
John walked into the warehouse. “Roman…I’m here.”
Roman looked at him in surprise, “What the hell are you doing here?”
Abe and Bo were listening to Roman on the radio and it was obvious someone else was there. Something wasn’t right…they were going in.
“You called and told me to meet you here.”
“I never…..” He never finished his sentence. Three shots rang out. Both John and Roman fell to the ground.
**************************************
At the exact same moment, across town, Marlena’s cup of tea slipped from her hand to the floor. A cold chill swept over her body…she turned as pale as a ghost.
“Marlena, are you alright?”
***************************************
The darkness was so inviting, so warm…he couldn’t speak. His mind, however, was screaming for her ‘Doc I’m sorry…I’m sorry.’
**************************************
Bo and Abe rushed inside the warehouse. Both men had been shot. Abe was already on the radio calling for an ambulance.
****************************************
Marlena found her voice, “Something’s wrong. We have to get to the hospital…now.” She was already heading out the door.
Laura knew better than to argue with her friend. She dropped a few dollars on the table to cover the cost of the beverages and hurried to catch up with her. “Marlena I’ll drive.”
How did this happen? Who was responsible? He didn’t know yet…but soon he would have his answers. Heaven help that person. He picked up the phone, pressed the correct code and finally dialed the number. The code would prevent anyone from tracing this call back to his location. No one could know he was in Salem…at least not yet.
He answered on the first ring. It was the boss…and he wasn’t the type of man you kept waiting. “Yes boss.”
“I have two jobs for you. First…get over to the hospital and find out everything you can about John Borne and Roman Boaty’s condition.” He didn’t have to tell him to be discreet…it was understood. “And second…find out who’s responsible for this. I want answers.” He slammed the phone down.
A few minutes later his phone rang. He was expecting this call. “Hello.”
“Did you do this?”
“Of course not. I don’t know who’s responsible but I will.”
Silence and then, “Is he going to live?”
He hated this… he hated the unknown…he was a man who liked to be in charge and for him to admit he didn’t have any useful information was not to his liking. “I don’t know…but as soon as I find out anything I’ll let you know.”
There was nothing left to say.
