me a kiss before I go back to my office to finish my latest case.” She reached up on her tippy-toes and kissed me lightly along my jaw, then up my cheek until she reached my lips. She was sexier than she knew. It was hard to believe that she was a virgin at this time the day before.
    I pushed away and rushed out the door before I fucked her right there, grumbling as I exited. “Damn woman is a menace.” I heard her giggling and felt a hell of a lot better. I was so busy trying to fix what was bothering her that I forgot to ask about the meeting. I’ll wait until later tonight. Seeing her again would get her fucked on the desk. One day…one day.

    Wow, when he left my office I had a full turn around, emotionally. I can’t believe or even understand the feelings he brings out in me. Yes, I had ambition and happiness, but I’d never been jealous, envious, or an emotional wreck. I turned back to my assignment and got through the next few hours before we left. Picking up my things at home took a while, so we ordered a pizza and got some wine. Once we finished dinner and cleaned up the mess, it was time for bed. Of course, that didn’t mean sleep. That meant a night of mattress gymnastics, something I was becoming a pro at.
    The next morning, we got to work and this time came in together. If they were going to gossip about Caleb with anyone, it might as well be me. He said he had something important to take care of this morning so he only spent two hours in the office, but he would meet me for lunch.
    I just finished writing up my brief when there was a knock at my door. I looked up and it was the wrong James brother standing there.
    “What can I do for you, Mr. James?” I asked insolently. After his suspicions and accusations, I didn’t care for him. I knew it was because he loved his brother, but I was still hurt by it.
    “Mr. James?”
    “What is it with you men? Is it not your last name?”
    “Yes, but you know we go by first names here?”
    “So, Malcolm, what can I do for you?”
    “I’m guessing he told you what I said.”
    “Nothing more than anyone else said, but yes, he told me.”
    “He’s my brother. I needed to watch his back. Truth be told, the whole Chicago thing was a factor in my opinion about you, but it wasn’t the main reason. I’d never known Caleb to be anything but honest and forthcoming. With you, he was going against the grain and it was scary because I knew you had the power to crush him. I just came in here to tell you I’m sorry for misjudging you for no other reason than my brother was acting crazy and the rumors.”
    “I get that. I really do. It’s just this stupid rumor won’t go away.”
    “I get that. Rumors are killer since it’s hard for people to tell the difference. Don’t worry. From everything in your file, you were a great lawyer for their firm, and you’ve already finished one of the cases you were given. I saw the end result and was very impressed.”
    “Thanks. I’ve worked hard trying to prove to everyone that I could do it, only to have my career derailed by some asshole.”
    “Well, if you keep up the good work, you’ll prove that you’re good all on your own. I can’t say that you’ll ever make partner because Caleb isn’t going to like that idea.”
    “Yeah, something about barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen comes to my mind when I hear the shit that comes out of his mouth.”
    “Can’t blame us; it’s in our DNA.”
    “No, I suppose not…” I grumbled. Malcolm patted my hand and gave me a smirk.
    “Hey, get your hands off my woman. I leave for a little bit and you come in here trying to steal her away.”
    “Please. He has a beautiful wife.”
    “He’s only teasing me because I say it to him every time I walk into his office and find my wife sitting on his desk taking notes.”
    “Yes, well you still haven’t trained her to sit, yet.”
    “I’m going to tell her you said that,” Malcolm warned.
    “Shit, please don’t.
