met the moment my tongue touched the tip of his bulging sex. He immediately shifted his hips, his breath raspy. I’m in control. The thought was delicious to me. He didn’t last long when my tongue began to move with ease. I had only sucked several times when I knew he was close enough for me to withdraw. Afterwards I quickly slipped from the water, leaving Elliot there breathing heavily. He looked at me incredulously as I donned the bathrobe again. “ Leaving so soon?” He asked, eyebrows raised. “ Some of us have a case to work on…” I replied playfully, as I turn to the bedroom. I left him smiling as I set about finding my clothes and changing as fast as I could. Elliot followed me into the room – sweatpants intact. “ Thank you for the wine… and the entertainment.” I’m not sure what made me speak so seductively but I leaned down and snatch up my bag, tucking my phone into my pocket. I was nearly at the door before he spoke. “ I asked my driver to take care of your car. It’s waiting outside for you.” I don’t let him see me rolling my eyes and I let my back face him. “ Of course you did.” I whisper as I walk from his apartment, a small smile playing on my lips. ***** I made a small pit stop at my apartment to dress appropriately and grab a small fruit salad. I was immediately thankful that Kally isn’t home. I called my driver and told him to be ready to take me to the office. I tried my best to ignore his quizzical look as he noted that I hadn't been home. Charlie is used to my habits – and how few of them involve time for socializing and men. Weeks pass this way as the weeks roll into months. I stay at Elliot’s to avoid Kally’s questions and work later in the evenings to make up for my mornings. Most of November slips by this way. The rain beats down heavily on the car roof as I watched the streets slip by. My secretary glances up from her desk at the ding of the elevator. I throw her a small smile and make for my office. Before I’ve even passed the interns at their desks, my secretary calls me back. “ There’s a Mr. Stein to see you here, ma’am.” I frown. I don’t know a Mr. Stein, do I? “ Send him in five minutes.” I sigh.
I was hoping that I could get directly started on Elliot’s files – drawing up the case in his defense in more finalized form, but I’d need to get this done first. I pour two small glasses of distilled water from the machine by my door. Resting them on my impeccably organized desk. I toyed with a pencil in my mouth as I waited for Mr. Stein. My thoughts never strayed too far from Elliot. My boyfriend . As if knowing what I was thinking my phone beeped and vibrated on my desk. I hope you got to work safely – E. I tried my best to wipe the smile from my face. Get it together Clara. “ Mr. Stein for you, Ma’am.” I looked up in time to see the short, balding man sweep into my office with confidence. I immediately stand taller. He will be a challenge, his stride tells me that much. “ Welcome, Mr. Stein. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” I hold out my hand and in doing so I note that he is nearly a foot shorter than me, with weak blue eyes. His handshake is firm though – impossibly firm. “ It’s nice to finally make your acquaintance Miss Greyson.” I tried not to be effected by his sneer. I’m used to this – men twice my age treating me with contempt. I gesture towards the open chairs by my desk with a polite smile. “ So what can I help you with today?” I asked kindly. “ I heard you were hired to defend Elliot Cresham in court next month.” “ That has been made public.” I said. If he’s here about the case then there is little I will be able to do to dissuade him. “ My name is Harry Stein, Miss Greyson. I am the current retailer in charge of renting the casino which Mr. Cresham is accused of burning down.” “ Ah.” I responded, my smile faltering only slightly. “ I just
