Judge
“Sit,” I order, pointing to the chair, and she looks at me defiantly, raising her chin proudly.
“No.” She crosses her arms over her chest, but my jacket is so big the sleeves flop around and undo her brave facade.
I reach out and take my jacket by the lapels and peel it off her so she’s standing there in only her dress.
“Sit down now before I make you get on your knees and earn your way out of this room.”
She opens her mouth to say something back but sees the look in my eyes and thinks better of it. I wait as she walks around to the chair and slowly lowers herself into it.
Letting out a sigh and at the same time trying to get my dark urges under control, I hang my jacket up and walk over to my desk and take a seat behind it. I need as much distance as I can handle between her and me right now. I’m too on edge and I’ve got to take a breath. She makes me do and say things I never have before. I might be the one in control of what we are saying, but I’m pretty sure she has me by the fucking balls.
“You’re Nora Vaughn,” I say, and she gasps.
“How do you know who I am? Oh god, did Uncle Harry send you to find me?”
“No,” I say and tap the thick folder in front of me. “Your case came across my desk a week ago. Then shortly after I just so happened to spot you outside my gym every day at the same time. You always had wet hair.”
She reaches up instinctively now and touches the damp locks. “Okay, fine. You caught me and you’re not with my uncle. Are you going to call the damn cops or what?”
I lean back in my chair and hold out my hands palms up. “I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but you’re in my chambers. I’m a judge, little girl, and the last thing you should be worried about is the cops. I’m Smith Prescott and I’m the one person you should watch your mouth around.”
Her moment of bravery is dissolving and in its place is the shy girl from the shower. One again she licks those ripe lips and I can’t control the throb in my cock. Every time I put pressure on her I watch her mouth water.
“What should I be worried about then?” She looks up at me through her lashes and I have to reach down under my desk and stroke myself over my slacks. I need some kind of release. I’ve never been so hard in my life. Where this sudden uncontrollable lust has come from, I have no fucking clue. I wasn’t even this hard up when I was in high school.
“Me,” I say, and my voice is thick with need. “I’m the end all, be all when it comes to your future. I’ve got your whole file saying that your uncle is in charge so you can’t have your inheritance and you’re supposed to be in school.”
“I can’t go back to him—”
I raise my hand, cutting her off. There’s no way this kitten is getting away from me. “I think we can come to an agreement,” I say, and this time it’s my turn to lick my lips. “You’ll be under my care and supervision until I deem you ready to either go back to your uncle or take your monthly draw and go out on your own.”
Her brows furrow as she thinks this over. “Why would I agree to this? How do I know I’m not jumping from one monster’s home to another?”
The way she talks about her uncle has the hair on the back of my neck rising. I make a mental note to have him investigated to see what the circumstances of her running away were.
“That’s simple, Nora,” I say as I run my hand up and down the hard length in my pants. “I won’t ask you to do anything you don’t want to do.”
“How can I trust you?”
“You can’t,” I say simply and shrug.
I stand up from behind the desk and my prominent erection is on full display. She gasps and puts her hand over her mouth as I walk around to the front of my desk and sit on the edge of it.
“I’ll start small just to prove my point,” I say as I cross my arms over my chest. “I want you to spread your legs over the arms of the chair and pull your dress up so I can look at your pussy.”
She tucks her chin so I can’t see her eyes, but her face is red to her hairline.
“Don’t be shy, Nora. We both know I saw everything earlier.” I lean in a little and whisper. “And you know I was watching the whole time.”
