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

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

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 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

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

TaylorFor a second he looked confused, and who could blame him for that. I'd just confused the hell out of myself as well when I'd agreed. and then he began to smile. slowly, his lips pulled upwards until a dimple I didn’t even know existed, popped in his cheek.I focused on it. No one who had dimples like that could be truly bad right?No one who looked at me with such soft eyes...“Just, ok?” one dark eyebrow arched up and the dimple popped even more. It made him look younger. just a normal guy who was happy the woman he wanted had agreed to be with him. But honestly the truth was far more dangerous, and I knew it. Yes, he was a man, who wanted me but that angelic face hid a multitude of sins. All of them, dark and bloody. The hands that had run up my body and made me feel alive were the same hands that had snuffed someone's life out.It was a sobering thought.But the really scary thought was that I had agreed. As scared as I was, I hadn't really hesitated. and that was what
