Black Rainbow (Rainbows 1)

Pulling him to me, I kissed him again. I was rough and sloppy, but I didn’t care.

“Levi.”

“Thea,” he whispered, right before falling on top of me. “I think I’m becoming addicted to you.”

I laughed, “That’s good, because I feel the same way. Let’s indulge.”

Because this was sinful in all the right ways.

THEA

“Well look what we’ve got here, someone is five minutes early.”

There was only one person with that annoying accent, and he was the very last person I wanted to deal with in the morning.

“What do you want Atticus?” I pressed the elevator button two more times, willing it to come faster.

“I do recall Professor Black choosing the both of us for this case,” he replied, stepping inside with me. “Anyway, I think we should introduce ourselves and be professional while we’re here. Who knows, we might be working here in a few years’ time. I’m Atticus Logan.”

He held out his hand for me to shake.

“Thea Cunning.”

“I hear every year Professor Black takes a student under his wing. You should know right now; I ain’t losing to you, or anyone else. So don’t get in my way,” he stated, stepping out when the doors opened.

I turned, searching for its owner. That voice, it was so familiar...

As I turned, I found myself face to face with none other than Tristan. Tristan, the man who’d served me drinks at the bar, the man who had worn the top hat and guy liner. In the clear light of day, he looked completely different. His hair was styled perfectly, his shoes shined to the point where I could see my reflection in it, and he wore a suit that likely would have cost me my entire life savings. A point which said a lot about my current financial state of affairs.

“Mr. Knox, it’s a pleasure sir. I was fascinated by your work in the Dreyer Case,” Atticus said, already kissing ass.

“Where are you from?” Tristan asked him.

“Greenville, South Carolina,” Atticus replied with pride.

“I was born and raised in Mauldin.”

?

??You’re kidding me.”

“I never kid about my hometown.”

Atticus looked back to me and winked— “A small world. You're my new found hero.”

So this is the old boy’s club people talked about.

“I heard you worked for The Shark at one point in your career,” Atticus grinned.

The Shark? My mother, The Shark?
