He placed a finger inside me. “You’re so wet,” he moaned as he kissed my neck.

Then I felt him stop and pull away. I moved my head to the side to get a look at him.

“What the hell is this?” he demanded as he stopped suddenly.

I glanced behind me and saw what he was looking at. I had placed a copy of the email on his desk when he first set me down on it.

Here I was, ready for him to take me on this desk with my legs wide open. “That can wait, baby. C’mon back to me.” I grabbed his hand and placed it back on my wetness.

He began fingering me and kissing my neck, but I could tell by his sloppy, unfocused movements that he wasn’t paying attention. I sighed a breath of defeat and closed my legs, pushing him away. “Sorry,” he started, “but what the fuck? Is this why you came to my office?”

“Did you think I was coming here just to give you a blow job? It’s the middle of the workday! I wasworkingbefore I came here. Or, I guess you could say I never really had the opportunity to come...in here, now did I?” I gave him a sad look. “But since you’ve ruined the moment, yes, this is what I wanted to talk to you about.”

Chapter thirty-two

Double Fault

Daniel

“Andthere’snowayto trace this email to figure out who sent this?” I asked Selena without taking my eyes off the paper.

“I mean... it’s anonymous. It could be from anyone.”

“I need a minute to think. Can I get back to you in a little bit, and we can finish what we started?”

“Uh, I think not! It's pretty obvious what you have to do here, Danny.” She stared at me and waited for confirmation.

“Sel, this is just an email. Like you said- it could be from anyone! It could be from Charlotte herself for all I know! I will definitely look into this.”

I watched as she scooted her skirt back in place and began fixing her hair. Poor thing. I know I left her wanting for more, but this was something I couldn’t ignore. I walked over to her and tried to wrap my arm around her, but she pushed me away.

“You know this dirtbag is hiding money. I knew he was bad news the second I laid eyes on him. He might be tall, dark, and handsome, but he’s not pulling the wool overmyeyes.”

“You think he’s tall, dark, and handsome? What the fuck, Selena?”

Note to self: get her off this case as quickly as possible.

“Oh my God, Danny, focus!!”

“Sel, this is definitely concerning. I will look into it, for sure.”

“Look into it? Danny, you need to drop this scam artist! You and the entire firm could get in deep shit if he’s doing things that we don’t know about, and someone finds out! I don’t trust him as far as I can throw him.”

She was right. And I knew it, but I couldn’t just drop him like a sack of rocks on the grounds of some baseless email.

“Sel-”

“No! Don’t ‘Sel’ me! Why don’t you trust me?”

“I’m a lawyer, for God's sake, Selena! I need proof! I need stone-cold evidence that he is doing this. I can’t just drop him because you ‘think’ something is going on. I’m sorry you can’t understand that.”

That hurt her, and I knew it. I wished I could take it back, but she was being unreasonable.

She turned without saying a word.

“Where are you going?” I demanded.

“I need some fresh air,” she whispered.
