Donavan’s
cock.  She groaned as the shattering orgasm overtook her.  She felt
the incredible much needed release and envisioned Donovan groaning and coming
inside her.   She lay panting on the couch feeling disappointed that
her lover had only been in her mind.  “Shit!” she said, “It’s always a
downer when it’s over and you’re still alone.” 
    Alaina wondered out loud, “Why am I on the pill when the only person I
have sex with is myself ?” She smirked, “Although I’m
always satisfied this way.” Sighing she got up off the couch and took her soup
bowl to the kitchen.  It was probably best if Donovan remained her fantasy
lover.

Chapter Five
     
    The week went by quickly and Alaina found herself on a
plane to Washington D.C.  Since any investigation of terrorist activities
is considered a Federal matter, the issue of the subpoena for Tom Simmons'
papers was being heard in a Federal Court.  She would be representing her
father's estate while another lawyer would be present from the historical
society.  While it was her intent to argue her father's constitutional
right to privacy, the historical society intended to argue for donor and
archival privilege.  Both arguments were fairly solid, but whether the
judge would consider them solid enough to disallow the disclosure of potential
evidence related to acts of terrorism remained to be seen.  A
representative from the OAS was conspicuously absent from the proceedings.
Although asked to send legal counsel, by both the historical society's lawyer
and by Alaina, they had refused to participate.  The OAS had insisted that
the papers of Tom Simmons were not those of the organization.  Alaina was
sure their claim was invalid having seen the file lists relating to the
collection.  The file lists she had seen clearly described the papers as
minutes and correspondence records of the OAS.  However, the organization
was currently denying that these types of records existed.
    By placing the documents in the historical society for
archival preservation Tom Simmons had been attempting to preserve those records
for future historians.  The fact that the OAS was denying that these
papers were part of the organization's records was suspicious.  Had her
father known there was information in the papers that could prove detrimental
to the organization?  Alaina had been appointed guardian of the papers to
grant access to them.  The instructions left by her father had been very
precise: individuals who were permitted to view the documents were listed by
name or by profession, such as scholarly historians.  Alaina herself was
not allowed access to the documents, a fact that until now had not struck her
as particularly strange.  For the first time she was beginning to question
her father's motivation for choosing to store his papers under restricted
access conditions.  However, now was not the time to analyze her father's motives.   It was essential that she concentrate on the
matter at hand, which was her impending appearance before a Federal judge in
two days.  She was flying to Washington DC and would be in court the day
after that.  It was her first time appearing before a high court, and
although Alaina knew she was adequately prepared, she couldn't help but be
nervous.
    The Washington courtroom was old and very traditional
in its appearance, Alaina thought as she entered its intimidating walls. 
Dark wood paneled the entire room.  She saw Donovan Prentice as soon as
she entered.  He rose from his chair and walked towards her, and as he
approached, Alaina was once again hit with that overwhelming attraction she
felt for him.  He was wearing a black suit, which emphasized his broad
shoulders and narrow waist.  Did he have to look so attractive in
everything he wore? In an effort to appear as professional as possible and
downplay her femininity she had chosen to wear a pant suit, but next to his
overwhelming masculine appearance she felt downright
