She pulled on her thin blue dress and drew her knees together despite an incredible desire to just open them to this stranger. As a compliment to the intense scrutiny she had just endured from his alluring eyes, she could clearly feel the buildup of moisture on her panties. The man prepared it so quickly.

He gave up everything to see Pedro fall.” “I don't have to do anything,” Anna insisted, pressing her palms flat on her desk and staring at Agent Jack. It's two days before the trial and you're telling me I can't even meet with this witness before he takes the stand.This is crazy.” she leaned back in her worn chair, the worn metal frame creaking.
