See you soon,
Selene.
Putting the phone down on the table, she rested her head into my lap without saying a word. I wasn’t sure what more there was to say.
“I’m working as fast as I can—”
“You’ll kill yourself with this, Thea.” I paused, trying to think about the best way to phrase my next question. “Why haven’t you asked me? You said you hated the lawyer that’s working on it now, so why didn’t you come to me?”
“I did, months ago. When I called about it, the person I spoke to, I think it was Raymond, said that you don’t handle death row convictions. I called dozens of lawyers and they all said the same thing. When I met you in the bar I had no idea who you were, but during our week together you told me your name and I put two and two together but it didn’t matter anymore. I had decided to handle it myself. I would never have thought you were going to be my professor.” she confessed keeping her eyes closed.
I hadn't known. All the cases were brought to me by Tristan or Raymond, and from there, we screened the ones that were either the highest profile, or that we were passionate about.
“I also didn’t want to drop this on your shoulders. If I did and you didn’t believe him, or if we lost, I was scared about what would happen between us. I’m selfish like that. I can’t see anything new here, and neither can his lawyer. I would be setting you up to fail. I feel like I need to undo this myself and… I don’t know.”
“Alright,” I said, taking her hand and kissing the back of it, “when you need me, just call on me and I’ll be there. But for right now, I have your back.”
She sat up, bringing her face close to mine. “You never say, or do, anything that I think you’re going to do.”
“That’s a two way street,” I said touching her face. “I want to go out with you.”
“Aren’t we doing that?”
“No, we aren’t. Going out means going to the movies, dinner, games. We can go outside the city if you’d like.”
Her eyes went back and forth, as if she were scanning my face for some sign of something.
“Hmmm… outside of the city, that sounds really nice,” she said as she tilted her head at me. “And you must already know, but you were amazing today.”
She leaned in and kissed me.
“Does that mean I get my prize now?”
She nodded, and stood up. Taking my hand, she pulled me up off the ground, and I let her drag me upstairs, towards the bedroom, where she pushed me onto the bed. She stripped down right in front of me with ease, and when she was naked, she crawled on top of me and began unbuckling my belt. She slid down between my legs, staring directly at me as her fingers found their purchase, and began their magical work. She licked her lips, and bit her bottom lip, and I twitched in her hand.
“Thea…” I couldn’t look away from her.
“Yes?” she asked politely, as she stroking me with both hands.
Fuck.
Placing my hands behind me, I tried to hold myself up.
“You’re so hard, Mr. Black,” she whispered as she stretched upwards to kiss my neck. “Tell me what you’d like me to do.”
“Uh…What?” I asked, as my brain was no longer communicating with me.
“Tell me what you want me to do, Mr. Black,” she repeated once more with a grin.
She ran her thumb over my head, applying just the right pressure to make any man go insane with pleasure.
I couldn’t speak. It had been to
o long since we’d been like this, and I had almost forgotten what it felt like.
“I’m sorry, I can’t wait any longer,” I told her, as I grabbed onto her waist and flipped her over. Screw foreplay, I needed her now.
She reached under the pillow, and pulled out a condom. “Then don’t.”
