“That will delay things. The arraignment dockets are behind, too.”
“Make it happen!”
Christ, he’s one of those entitled assholes who think the world owes him something.
“Do you want a bond hearing in twelve weeks or a trial in thirteen?”
Sterling’s office handed over the discovery to the Public Defender on file. My assistant called them and had it all transferred to me.
“Fuck.” Michael dumps his head in his hands.
“No plea?” I have to ask.
“Not a chance. I’mnotstupid. I know they messed up somewhere. Lying, lazy pigs. Find their mistake andget this dismissed.”
Except, I’m not interested in getting this case dismissed. I want tobeatPratt Sterling and the shitty case he’ll bring against Kinsey. I want to see the loss in Pratt’s eyes and remember it when I bend Ashton overand fuck him in the ass.
Something hits me that I didn’t let seep into my brain before.
Sterling’s a...bottom according to hushed whispers.
I couldn’t bear to think of who was doing who after Ash left me for Pratt. My Ash was the perfect bottom. Loved my hard cock in his ass, mostly while on his back. We’re both into women and like that position for intimacy.
So, who banged who in that relationship?
It’s odd for two bottoms to get together. Unless, it wasn’t real.
I shake that useless fantasy away.
Ash hinted at his desire to penetrate me. Something I wasn’t comfortable with. Looking back, I can see how it sounded like I didn’t trust him.
Kinsey clears his throat, and I’m reminded where the hell I am.
“Last chance to tell me where Bernadette’s stuff is.”
“Or what?”
What can I punish him with? Pride and revenge are powerful drivers, but is it worth losing a case in a ball of flames if I’m wrong? He doesn’t know I’m in this for another reason. I’m not sure what I have to lose by telling him.
“Listen to me.” I motion Kinsey closer to the glass. “I’m not dumping this case. I want to burn the prosecutor assigned to it.”
“Why?” Now he looks confused, until he glances down, and his eyes widen seeing the drawing.
I flip it over before he can make out Bernadette’s face.
“Why? Because Pratt Sterling stole someone I love.” I won’t let him think I’m gay or bi. He might bea homophobe and fire me. “When I saw he was assigned to this case, I agreed to take it.”
“So we’re on the same page here.” Kinsey nods, recognizing the taste of revenge. “We both want this case to go away.”
To him, it’s the same. To me, it’s not. I want tobeatPratt Sterling.
“Think of it however the hell you want.”
“How... How is Bernadette? Really?” The tonal change in his voice strikes me.
Seeing him knocked down a peg, gives me the chance to go in for the kill.
“I got to know your girlfriend.” I sit back, twirling my pen. “Your sweet, beautiful Bernadette is living in my luxury duplex because your landlord kicked her out of your measly one-bedroom apartment. Do you even want to know where she got the money to pay me to represent you?”
