Look up,my dragon begs me.
At his command, my eyes start at her pointy black shoes and make their way up. The lady is wearing a knee-length pencil skirt that shows off her toned calves underneath nude stockings, which causes me to perk up. My eyes move to the curve of her hips, which is quite nice from the front, so I can imagine it is even better from the back. She is wearing a white turtleneck underneath a black blazer that matches her skirt. Everything about this woman’s outfit screams put together, but when I reach her lips and I see how plump they are, I can feel my breath leaving my body. Her eyes are a deep green color that reminds me of the forests that my dragon loves to fly over when we have enough time to fly far away.
My dragon is almost panting as my eyes meet hers. Her eyes widen a fraction at the sight of me, but she quickly closes them for the briefest moment before looking away.
There is something about her face that is familiar, but I cannot place it. Her brown hair is pinned to the top of her head, but I can tell it is long.
“Hello. As Nic said, my name is Taylor Montgomery, and I am here on behalf of KobiTech,” Taylor says in a soft yet strong voice.
The room is silent as everyone takes her in. This tall curvy woman has all of our attention.
“KobiTech has not yet made this lawsuit public and is willing to settle this out of court,” Taylor starts.
“There will be no settling, as we have committed no crime,” Lex speaks in his deep voice.
Taylor lifts one perfectly arched eyebrow.
“You have seen the email they sent, correct?”
Lex nods and the rest of us hold our breath.
“Then you understand that they do have proof that you illegally used their maps app for your own gain, Mr. Hutchinson.”
We all look at Lex and can see the tension rolling off him in waves, his jaw clenching. Lex does not like being talked to like this.
“Ms. Montgomery, I do not like to repeat myself, but it seems that I must. We will not be settling.”
“Yeah, settling is for the guilty. Which we aren’t,” Pat adds from beside me.
“Plus, how can someone like you believe KobiTech?” I hear myself asking.
Taylor cuts her eyes towards me, “Someone like me?”
I swallow. “Yeah.”
Not explaining my words as I didn’t want to cause any more tension.
“I’ve reviewed the lawsuit, and I know good evidence when I see it,” Taylor explains.
My tongue curls in my mouth at her sass.
I like her mouth, my dragon preens.
Of course he likes her smart mouth. I mean, it is perfect. The bottom lip is just slightly bigger than her top, and both are plump and pouty.
Taylor licks her lips, and my eyes follow her pink tongue. I have no idea what has me so enamored with her beauty, but there is just something about her that is new yet familiar.
“Well, the evidence has to be fake, hot stuff. We have not been using the maps app for anything besides its intended purpose,” I say with a wink.
I can tell my words bother her as her cheeks start to get red.
“If you think my client would use fake evidence against you, you are clearly mistaken. KobiTech is a trustworthy company,” Taylor says.
“They are new and just trying to make some fast money,” Damon puts in. “I wouldn’t expect a D.C. lawyer like yourself to get that. It’s not like you know New York law.”
Hearing Damon insult Taylor causes my gut to roar.
“Whoa now, no need to insult the lady.”
