Judge“Sit.” Pointing to the bed where we had just been wrapped in each other's arms I sighed. She was going to be difficult but then I had known that already. Of course, she was. But then I had known that already. Taylor was a sweet girl but there was fire and spunk in her as well. And stupidity. Trying to climb over and dive into the choppy waters was stupid. No question about that. And I hadn’t expected it. A tantrum yes, maybe even violence but I hadn’t in a million years thought she would try and escape. It troubled me because it meant I would have to watch her closely. “And stop pouting.” In answer her bottom lip trembled, pushed out even further then it had been. She was trying not to cry but she did sit. Her hands clasped in her lap and her eyes glued to them. My eyes were glued to that trembling lip. She was being so brave or at least was trying desperately to be. “You don’t need to be afraid, Taylor. There’s no need for tears.” Finally, she lifted her head. I had b

TaylorSomething was wrong and I had been blind to see it before. Well maybe not blind, maybe it was more the fact that I didn’t want to see it. But I saw it now. Clearly and totally. Gio had lied to me, Christian had as well. When he had opened his sinfully pretty mouth and told me I could leave anytime I wanted. I couldn’t leave. Not unless I fancied swimming to the shore I could barely see in the distance.“I-” My hand curled around the rail. And even in the half-light I could see the whiteness of my knuckles as I gripped it hard. My voice faltered away to nothing. Because what could I say? I had been the one to agree to come here of my own free will. No one had held a gun to my head and the reason was pretty clear.My stupid romantic loving personality. My night with Christian had been something, I wasn’t sure what, but it had been something and then after I had seen him in the courtroom. Once I had realised who and what he was, I subconsciously pictured him as some kind of h

JudgeI had never slept next to a woman before, although plenty of them had shared my bed for a few hours of mutual pleasure. But having one snoring softly next to me was completely foreign to me. Not that I didn’t like it because I did. Taylors body was warm and soft against mine, but it would take some getting used to. I was betting it would be better if she didn’t smell vaguely of vomit but even with it, there was something oddly comforting about hearing her breath in the darkness. Hell, I wasn’t even sure if sliding my body in next to hers was the right thing to do. She had been rightfully freaked out when she realised whose bed she was in for the first time, what would she do if she woke up to me curled around her body? Staring straight up at the low ceiling I held my breath, my mind whirling with a million different scenarios. No matter how I played this, Taylor would at some point when she woke up freak out. she would realise that this wasn’t one of her fairy tales. So, it

TaylorSomething warm and slightly calloused brushed against my skin. It felt good, nice in a seriously comforting way. and I needed comforting because I felt all kinds of awful. The shirt I had been wearing was peeled away. My arms were lifted by strong hands so it could be slid down and discarded and I was glad to see it go. “Annie?” I mumbled, God I felt out of sorts. Half drunk and half hungover and it was making thoughts impossible. “Did I pass out?” I wasn’t known to be a big drinker, but it had been years since I had gotten that drunk that I'd passed out. Embarrassment flooded me. Annie was my friend, and I knew she wouldn’t judge but I was mortified. What kind of grown ass woman got so drunk that she had to be undressed by her best friend and put to bed like a child. And I had vomited on myself. I could smell the cloying disgustingness of it on my clothes. “Up you get.” Again the heavy fingers brushed against me, trailing down my sides this time. They helped me to sit u

Judge“Is everything ready?” I already knew it was, but I needed to ask. It was either do that or go crazy. Gio was late, something that he never was, and it had me on edge in a way that was unfamiliar. I didn’t like not being in control but when Gio had asked if he could personally deliver the package, I'd quickly agreed. It was a much better plan than my original one of plucking her straight from the streets. Kidnapping one of the jurors in my trial, even if they could never prove it was me, it was foolish and one thing I wasn’t, was foolish.Not until I had seen her anyway.Gio handling that side of things would make things go a lot smoother, unless of course he decided she was a threat. I didn’t think he would. In a few days my name would be cleared. The family had made sure of that. Technically Tayor was no threat to us at all because we already had the situation well in hand. And yet I couldn’t shake the feeling that something, somewhere had gone wrong. “Yes-” The words on th

TaylorKudos was everything it had been plugged to be and more. And as the after-work crew left for home and the serious partiers began to file in, the atmosphere changed. it became less intimate and more … well more. Annie of course was well on her way to being black out drunk but at least she had stopped dancing on the table. The dancing was still happening, but it was more interspaced with stumbling on her heels now. I had danced as well but three drinks in and I was beginning to feel woozy. Not that it was a big drinker anyway, but I could usually handle more than here white wine spritzers. I was putting it down to the stress of the day and everything I had found out. It was the only possible explanation. That plus the fact I’d barely eaten anything all day. Nothing new there but today had been particularly stressful. So, I had sat down and let the others enjoy themselves pretty early on. Not that I wasn’t enjoying myself, because I was. It was just in a different way to Annie

TaylorI kept it together until I stumbled down the steps of the courthouse. I don’t know what new evidence was given to the judge that made him halt proceedings and I didn’t care much. I had heard enough though. Horrible, despicable things that turned my stomach. But I couldn’t link what I was hearing with the man who sat just across the room from me or the man I had spent the night with. It wasn’t even that he hadn't been demanding and bossy that night because he had but he hadn't made me feel uncomfortable. Surely if he had been some dangerous killer then I would have felt uneasy at least? I prided myself on my instincts. Had I been totally wrong about him? Had I been intimate with a killer or worse had he singled me out because he knew somehow, I would end up sitting on the jury for his case?Hell, had I been in danger? Was I still? The thought made me feel sick. No, I forced myself to suck in a great lungful of calming air, I fell into a sitting position on the curb, my head in

JudgeThe moment she sat in her designated seat, I knew she recognised me. she tried to hide it but it was there in the slightly widening of her eyes. They darted over my face, over my suit and then back to my face. Taylor Lawson looked shell shocked. Like she couldn’t believe her eyes. I couldn’t blame her for that. In her position I would have been shocked as well. But what did surprise me was her composure. She recognised me, she was shocked by it but none of that really showed on her face, apart from the slight widening of her eyes and the plump bottom lip disappearing between her teeth so she could chew nervously at it. All in all, it was a very predictable reaction to any young woman who came face to face with a man like me.Taylors eyes skirted away, almost like she had realised that she was staring at me and the chewing on her lip became painful to watch. Not taking my eyes off of her, I pressed my own fingers to my lips. If she didn’t stop doing that to her lip, which was in

TaylorWork was my happy place. Sad but true. I liked making people happy. watching brides find their perfect dress and seeing their faces light up was one of my favourite things. It stoked the romantic in me. because those people had found their happily ever after. And it gave me hope that one day I would find mine. Not that it was going to plan so far. Sure, I dated. I'd even had a few disastrous relationships, but nothing had ever come close to what the ladies that paraded through the shop had found.I hadn't found my one.But that didn’t mean I was going to give up looking. For what seemed like the hundredth time since I had found the note on the bedside table, I found myself staring at it. There was no denying that I was slightly obsessed with reading it. but it made my heart swell a little bit every time I did. Even if I never saw my mysterious lover again, I would always have his parting words to look back on. They gave me hope that sweet romantic men were really out there.
