Hi Folks! This is the last chapter before the Epilogue. I must say this story started out as one thing and wound around and became another. Not my best work but for those who did me the favor of reading it and following it I very much appreciate it. Please enjoy this before the Epilogue which should be published soon. - Carebearmaxi.

Mr. and Mrs. Specter: New Ventures

Chapter 21

Harvey went by himself. He found Jalena outside the Chinese restaurant as she said. Harvey helped her into the car and they started talking.

"Ok, Jalena, I want to thank you for coming forward. We are going to see Allison Holt, your husband's attorney. If you tell her what you told me, it corroborates with the information I obtained from Amelia. Allison is a good attorney and she does things by the book which is the reason I cannot represent you but bring you to see Allison."

"Ok, Mr. Specter. Will she make sure that my husband can't hurt me?" Jalena who was very scared looked at Harvey with big blue wet eyes and carried a small bag which probably contained everything she had when she came to the United States.

"I was a mail order bride, Mr. Specter. I needed to come to US to have a better life and to escape the Russian Mafia who were into sex trafficking. Didn't know that my husband was into it and that I was part of a bargain he had made with them."

"Let's see what Allison says and if we can get the judge to drop the case then I can represent you to see what can be done about a plea bargain or no deportation. The Federal ADA is a friend of mine...sort of." Harvey answered questioning his own tactics in this situation.

When they arrived at Scatton, Gould, and Holt, Allison herself met them at reception.

"I guess I have no need to tell you, Harvey that this is really unusual. I'm representing her husband in the civil case and she calls you to confess her part. When the judge finds this out, I'll be surprised if he doesn't disbar both of us for cross contamination!"

"Allison, look, here's a copy of the most recent deposition I gave Amelia Wadsworth. She suddenly remembered a little more of what happened that day since the shock has finally worn off. Also here is a snapshot from the security footage blown up. Before you look at it, let me remind you that the evidence is there of two different days. You'll see."

"Harvey, this wasn't personal. Believe me, I didn't want to hurt you or Donna. I was just trying to do my job as requested. I will have a look and then I can file with the judge for a dismissal of the charges against Mike Ross."

"Thank you, Alison."

"Sure. You can leave Jalena with me. I'll make sure she's under protection from her husband since this sounds like a case of he trying to deport her if she opens her mouth. I will let you know what happens after I have spoken with the US ADA."

Harvey turned to Jalena who had remained behind him the entire time. "Jalena, do you remember Allison? She's your husband's attorney. She will make sure you are protected. Won't you, Allison?" Harvey asked.

"Definitely," Allison said and ushered the scared young woman into her office. "Thanks, Harvey."

"Just let me know what happens."

"Absolutely."

"Harvey, what happened?" Donna asked as he leaned on the doorframe of her office.

He stood still for a moment taking in the beauty of his wife. Almost seven years of marriage, three children, and becoming COO had not lessened her beauty. He knew she was capable of anything. She was always a superwoman in his eyes and for many years he took her for granted. He smiled and walked into her office taking a chair that sat across from it.

"I picked Jalena up right where she said she would be, took her to see Allison and gave her a copy of Amelia's new deposition and a copy of the blown up security footage."

He paused for a second and crossed his legs as he watched her work.

"Well, she's putting Jalena into protection, and she said she would file with the US Federal Court to get the charges dropped against Mike and she thinks she may be able to get the civil suit against both you and Mike totally thrown out based solely on what Jalena tells her."

"That's terrific, Harvey. When will we know for sure?" Donna smiled. She stretched out her hand and Harvey took it.

"Probably not for a day or two. It was pretty late when I got Jalena to Allison."

Donna looked at her watch and noted the time. "It's about seven. Time we'd better leave and relieve my mom of the kids."

"Yes, you're right. Are you ready?"

"Yep, just have to shut down for the night," Donna said and then her cell phone ringtone rang. She knew by the ringtone it was her mother.

"Hi Mom. Yes, we're on our way. Be home in a few," Donna said. "Love you, too."

She hung up.

"We really need to get relief for my mom when she stays this late at our condo. Julia's got a boyfriend now so it is a little difficult for her to keep coming up from the other side of town to pick her up."

"I'll have Ray drive her back to Julia's. I would do it myself, but I'm bushed. Ray lives just on the other side. He won't mind."

Harvey helped Donna on with her trench coat. Harvey was fine and had not worn his heavier jacket. The weather was shaping up to be rather warm.

On the way to the elevator bank, Donna noticed Gretchen still typing away.

"Goodnight, Gretchen," Donna called and Harvey echoed.

"Goodnight Mr. and Mrs. Specter," Gretchen called back.

Harvey put on a quizzical look when they arrived at the elevator bank. Donna pressed the down arrow key button.

"What's up? You have a weird look on your face." Donna asked sighing heavily wondering what could be the issue that popped up all of a sudden.

"I was wondering just at this minute why Gretchen calls us Mr. and Mrs. Specter formally when no one is around? I don't think she ever once called me Harvey since the day I hired her. I asked her to several times and now she's calling you, Mrs. Specter. Weren't you always Donna before?"

"Mmm?" Donna said questioning it herself. "Good question. I think she is so old school that she just does it out of habit. Although.."

"Although what?" Harvey said sneaking a peck on the lips from his wife.

"Although she may be in awe of you. I know many people are. Myself included," she teased.

"Well, I know I'm awesome, so what's the excuse with you?"

"I'm awesome, too, but I'm approachable," Donna said smugly. She ventured into the car as the metal doors slid open.

When Harvey did not immediately venture into the car, Donna raised her eyebrows and asked, "You coming, pretty boy, or are you waiting for a personal invitation?"

"Sorry. I was just taken aback at how beautiful you are and how lucky a guy I am."

"Well, of course you did. Now get your cute ass in here so we can go home and play with our kids before they have to go to sleep. Got it?"

"Got it."

Harvey stepped into the elevator. As the doors were closing, Gretchen could observe from her vantage point Mr. and Mrs. Specter playing with each other.

Finally two days later, Harvey received the good word from Allison.

"All charges against Mike are dropped and they have apprehended the perp and Jalena has confessed her part, so if you don't mind, I will represent her since I have dropped her husband and his firm as a client. I am confirming that deportation will not be part of the sentence. She may have to agree to go through with the naturalization process since she won't be married anymore. Would you mind if I talked with Donna when we're done. I need to ask her a question. By the way, this would mean that I have filed for dismissal of the civil suit against your wife and Mike."

Harvey was so happy he could almost leap for joy in his glass office in front of Gloria whom he could tell was smiling about the outcome. What was it that Gretchen had said, "listening on the intercom was what all good secretaries did". He knew Donna had done that as well. Donna also had the main conference room "bugged" as one of her first recommendations as COO. Harvey guessed it was no worse than recording telephone conversations as long as the knowledge was upfront.

"Thank you, Allison! Since Jalena trusts you I have no problem with handing her case over to you since there is no longer a conflict of interest after you dropped her husband and firm from your client list."

"Yes, that's right. I must say you are a relentless man, and I know that it is not just that your best friend and your wife happened to be plaintiffs in the case. You are a tough attorney. I do admire that. Now can I speak to your COO?"

"Of course. I will get my assistant to transfer you because I just can't seem to keep a call on the line when I try."

"Well, we all have our weaknesses," Allison joked. One could feel her smile from the other side of the receiver.

"He placed the call on hold and called, "GL..."

"I'm here, Harvey. Donna, right?"

"Yep," he answered as he watched Gloria swiftly hit the buttons and transfer the call to his wife's line watching the green light stay steady which meant she was on the phone.

"Thank you,"

"No problem. By the way, congratulations on the outcome of the case."

"Thank you, Gloria, for your help."

Gloria walked out of Harvey's office and back to her cubicle.

Meanwhile three doors down, Donna picked up the phone and was surprised by who was on the other end.

"Allison?"

"Donna, I just wanted to say that none of this was ever personal. I know we had a run in many years ago when Harvey was being accused of burying evidence. I also wanted to tell you that the civil suit against you and Mike Ross has been dropped and that the Federal case charges were dropped against Mike Ross and that the real culprit was caught in the interim. I just wanted to let you know. I told Harvey right before I had him transfer me to you. I wanted to tell you personally."

"Thank you, Allison. You're good, too. I think that's why Harvey was so tough because he knew when the odds were stacked against us. Well, I'm sure we'll see things unfold one way or another. Goodbye."

Donna then hung up and smiled. Tonight they were going to celebrate. Then she received an email alert from one of the other senior partners with a problem that she needed to solve before she went home. She Instant Messaged her husband to let him know to go home without her and then she would take a cab back because she did not want to keep Ray out away from his family for three times in the same week.

Harvey signed off the IM and said he would have the kids bathed and in bed and he would be waiting to celebrate with her the good news.

Donna returned to her work and contacted the Senior Partner who emailed her about his troubles.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Donna slid her key in the door around 9:30 pm. She was tired. The Senior Partner who had an issue with his client list and billing sheets was finally straightened out to the senior partner's happiness. Donna noticed it was quiet and the lights were out as she placed her coat on the coat rack and removing her stilettos walked barefoot down the length of the room skirting around the kitchen bar. All the dishes had been done and put away. The kids' toys and games were all in their corner and the lights were all off.

She took a right and ventured down where the bedrooms were. She noticed the French doors to their bedroom was closed, but the light was on. Harvey probably fell asleep with his glasses still on his face fully clothed on top of the covers. Before passing through there she checked on the children. She opened the door to Gordon's room and he was sound asleep with his teddy bear tucked beneath his chin. She then opened Mandy's door who was also sound asleep with her attorney Build-A-Bear that she had convinced Harvey he buy for her on one of their father-daughter shopping excursions.

She came into the bedroom and she was surprised by what she saw.

"Harvey!"

"Yep, you're a little late but the champagne is still cold. The kids are asleep and just for the record Mandy and Gordon wore Kenzie out. I don't think she'll be up for the whole night. So get undressed and get over here so we can celebrate," Harvey said grinning his smile that always made Donna's legs melt.

He was totally undressed and under the covers waiting for her. She had texted him around 8:30 and said she would be home in about 30 minutes to 45; so he quickly gave the kids their baths and made sure that Kenzie was worn out from trying out her new "legs". The older kids had a ball chasing her around while she grabbed something that belonged to them. He had bathed all three kids and even made sure that Ray took his mother-in-law back to Donna's sister's apartment. So he took a shower and grabbed a very special bottle of champagne that had been chilling for a while in the little fridge they kept in their room.

"Mmm... why Mr. Specter are you trying to do seduce me?" Donna asked in hushed tones and then holding up her index finger before Harvey could answer, "Hold that thought."

Not that she did not trust her husband, she just wanted to check on her youngest because she missed her all day. Donna crept into the nursery and saw that Kenzie was indeed sleeping. Her little round face was peacefully dreaming about something as Donna saw her smile. She stroked her little head and then came tip toeing back joining her husband on the bed taking the glass of champagne he proffered.

"In answer to your question, now, may I?" Harvey asked raising his eyebrows sarcastically like he had to ask permission.

"Yes, you may," Donna said taking a sip of the champagne.

"Yes..." he kissed her cheek.

"...I... he kissed her neck.

"...am." He kissed her neck and began to undo her the buttons on her dress. She had worn the halter style dress with large criss crosses on the back. He undid all the buttons and the dress loosened and fell forward exposing her breasts. The bra apparently was built into the stiff fabric. Harvey had quickly finished his drink before he unbuttoned her dress and now cupped her breasts from behind and twirled her nipples between thumb and forefinger. In response she bent her head back and sighed with pleasure. She reached back with one hand and stroked his cheek. She leaned back in his embrace and nibbled on his ear.

Donna finished her drink and quickly removed herself to place the empty glass on the night table a little unsteadily. She returned to nuzzle her head against the top of his while he massaged her breasts cupping them fully now in both hands. He moved them gently in circles loving the weight of them in his hands. "You have the most beautiful breasts, my love," he whispered. In response, she turned around and removed the rest of the dress and slid it down her thighs and left it a puddle on the floor. Harvey stood on his knees exposing his erection at the site of his wife.

"Let me," Harvey whispered deeply and took one side of her panties and pulled down as Donna stepped out of them. He kissed the ginger hair covered area between her thighs as she kissed the top of his head and then she found his mouth covering it with hers as he pulled her down on top of himself.

"Let me ride you baby, but get me ready first, ok?" Donna asked. She stood over him as he lay down and his mouth was at her clit. She rocked back and forth with the feeling of his tongue on her nub. He licked, kissed and sucked all her labia. Donna bit her lip the more Harvey drove into her.

Harvey could feel her starting to peak and then asked, "You ready, baby?"

Donna was so overcome all she could do was nod and move down. As she moved down his torso she grazed his body with her fingertips seeing how his skin filled with goosebumps at her touch. "I'm coming now counselor," she said as she gave his cock a handstroke and then straddling him rubbed the precum up and down her labia. She then slowly encompassed him until he filled her and stretched her. He felt so good to have him inside her. Little squeals of delight as she took him into her a little at a time until she had let his considerable length totally impale her.

Off hand she could not remember the last time they had made love like this. Most of the time it was quickies in the morning in the shower or sometimes much later at night on the weekends when the kids were somewhere else and Kenzie was sound asleep.

Harvey sighed, "Oh, you feel so good." He put his hands on her hips to guide her as she rocked and slid in and out causing the friction to build. He sat up and moved her with his legs helping. Faster and faster, he kissed her giving her his tongue and she in return.

"It's been a long time, Mrs. Specter," he said as he knew he was coming close.

She put a finger on his lips and then reached out behind her to cup his testicles to which she was rewarded with a deep sigh. Suddenly their rhythm became faster and faster, Donna had to keep her orgasmic cry of his name quiet as they really did not want to wake up Kenzie although she may have been sound asleep for sure. They did not want to be embarrassed again by Mandy or Gordon this time both children knowing how babies were made having gotten an early sex education from their parents totally by accident.

"Oh, Donna! That was incredible!" Harvey exclaimed as quietly as he could. He breathed heavily and Donna was sure he was going to have another heart attack although he had been given a clean bill of health quite some time ago.

"Yes, it was! Oh I have missed you and your husbandly duties I must say," Donna said reaching out for him as she lay spent beside him. His head leaned against the bedboard as he took his wife's hand and kissed it. He laid it on his chest and then turned to her. He took her face into his hands and loved this look on her. Her skin glowed with moisture. Her red tresses beginning to curl around her forehead from their efforts to orgasm. Her lips swollen with his kisses. He looked into her eyes and kissed her again.

Donna looked into Harvey's eyes as he held her face gently captured in his hands. His deep dark brown eyes were glint with pleasure and his face looking so young he may have been a teenager again. His hair all different directions. Most of all she loved the smell of him on herself. She knew she they needed to clean each other up and many times that caused even more intimacy. She kissed him and he then pulled her onto his chest where she could hear his heart starting to beat more slowly as it came down from the peak. Her own chest was still fluttering.

They talked a little bit about the kids and the outcome of the case. Then they both fell asleep contented and deeply happy.
