Alone For Five Hours

“What?”Jade says. “Why?” She’s visibly upset and a pang of guilt hits me, even though I know I’m doing the right thing.

“This.” I move my hand back and forth between us. “Right here. It’s an ethical violation. I could be disbarred for getting involved with a client.”

Her eyes get round. She’s doesn’t miss the implication. “We’re going to be involved?”

“What do you think?”

Her lashes flutter. I want to haul her into my arms, but manage to hang onto my professional demeanor a little longer. “Fortunately,” I go on, “my law partner can take over yourcase.”

Her smile makes my cock twitch. “That works,” she says. “You’ll arrange for me to talk tohim?”

“Her.” The smile vanishes. “My cousin Kara,” I explain, and that’s enough to bring back her goodmood.

I can think of a million reasons why I shouldn’t get involved with Jade, client or not. She’s way too young for me. We probably don’t have anything in common besides wanting to jump each other. I could break her heart, and that would get very awkward.

Too bad. I don’t give a damn about any of those reasons. Because my dick has really good instincts.

I don’t mean the way any guy’s equipment can perk up when a beautiful woman is in the offing. I’ve known my share of lovely ladies, and it’s not unusual for my prospective bedmates to make their interest clear.

But my cock only sits up and begs when the sex is certain to be out of this world, and it started pleading the moment I laid eyes on Jade Callahan.

She belongs in my bed — the sooner the better. There’s no way I could represent her with a clear mind. So it’s a good thing I took Kara on as a partner when she finished law school; I can make sure Jade’s case is professionally handled without any ethical entanglements.

Despite her youth — she’s around the same age as Erin, my cousin Kosta’s wife, so maybe twenty-one, twenty-two — Jade has a woman’s body, all lush curves that my hands can’t wait to explore. Her dark hair swirls around a face that’s all the more arresting for not being pretty in the ordinary sense.

Her name suits her. Those green eyes are stunning, and right now I get the feeling they’re full of fantasies about what we could do together. I’m going to make her watch me when I fuck her; I want to see her go blind with pleasure when she comes.

First, I need to get the official part of my visit settled. “I’ll let Kara do the formal interview with you, to keep things tidy, but give me an overview now, just for my own satisfaction.”

“Okay.” She folds her hands, and it’s so cute I want to drag her onto my lap and hold her while she talks. But I don’t, because her eyes have gone serious.

“Our dad died three monthsago.”

It’s like a kick to the stomach. “I’m sorry. He wasill?”

“No. It was an accident.” Grief shadows her face, and I want to fix it, find her father in whatever dimension he’s occupying now and drag him backhere.

“The three of us have been running the farm on our own, but it’s been tough. Dad left insurance, but not enough, and we’ve lost the income from his woodworking business. Two weeks ago, we called the bank to ask them to work with us to restructure ourloan.

“After that was when the calls started.”

“Erin said they’re from a man claiming he’s a lawyer?”

“Yes. Ralph Turnbull. He says he represents someone who wants to buy thefarm.”

I’ve never heard of Ralph Turnbull. “He’s not a local, assuming that’s his real name, but we’ll look into it. Goon.”

“We’ve told him we’re not interested in selling.” She looks around the room, so simple but so welcoming. “All our memories of Dad are tied uphere.”

“Of course. But he won’t listen?”

“No. He just keeps calling. And the last one — I saved the message. You can hear for yourself.”

She jumps up and leads the way to the kitchen, and as I follow I take the opportunity to admire her gorgeous ass. Even her loose-fitting overalls couldn’t disguise that beauty. I’m glad she changed, though, because in these slacks it’s spectacular.
