Anger flared hot in my chest. “I said shut the fuck up.” I flared, slamming him against the tree hard. He huffed from the impact. But he continued to taunt me “You’re scared,” he murmured. “That’s what this is. You act tough but deep down you’re just a sissy too terrified to admit what you want.” My pulse thundered violently as I crowded into his space. “You don’t get to call me weak after spending years pretending you hated me just because you couldn’t handle wanting me,” I hissed.

That gentleman is perfect, intelligent, tall, handsome, confident… you name it.” She poured more wine into her glass but didn’t look at me. “But he’s a lawyer.” I blinked. “What do you mean?” Her tone shifted, a mix of admiration and dread. “Girl, he’s called the Devil’s Advocate.
