I never saw myself here.
Twenty-four and divorced.
And now my husband--
No, my ex-husband is wanting to take everything. He can have everything for all I care, I just want my dog. I've had Gobi since he was a puppy, he was my best friend. He kept me safe at night. It's all I wanted; he could even keep the damn house. I was staying with my mom now anyways.
The only reason I even got my lawyer was because of Gobi, but I never expected him to be so beautiful.
He was a bit older than me.
Much fitter than me.
It wasn't appropriate since he was my lawyer but things with him and I got heated quickly.
We found that we clicked on many levels, and it was like an inferno, burning everything down with it. But like a forest fire it was also time for a beginning.
He was helping me move along faster than I thought I could, but I wasn't sure if it would end in complete destruction.
Did I care?
No.
The first time I met him I was captured by him. His eyes were a crystal blue, almost otherworldly with his flawless smile.
"I'm Graham Spencer, I was the one you spoke to on the phone," he said, as he reached his hand out to me.
"Lydia Faulkner," I said softly.
His hair was smooth, dark with a bit of grey starting to peek through. His suit was well kept, and he had a light peppering of facial hair as if he was too busy to shave the last couple of days.
I was enchanted, but I knew better.
I had no clue that he felt the same.
At least not until a few months into the hearing.
It started with lunch. Paid by him, no questions asked. We started the night discussing my case and the plans, but it morphed into casual conversation.
Then that turned into something I can't quite explain.
He sat right next to me at the bar, his blue eyes stared into my soul hand on his cheek casually. Graham's lips turned up into a dreamy smile, crow's feet at the corner of his eyes were just visible, clearly deep in thought.
"What are you thinking about?" I asked, taking a sip of iced tea the freezing cold contrasted with the warmth I felt in my face from him sitting so close to me.
His smile faded for a moment, before returning.
"It's not appropriate,"
Graham's voice was deep and alluring.
"I don't mind," I promised.
He sighed, a slight groan to his tone.
"You look so beautiful," he stated.
Our eyes met again; I couldn't contain myself. I leaned forward, pressing my lips to his and the proverbial fireworks exploded. His strong arms wrapped around my middle. His tongue slipped between my lips, I could taste the rum and coke on his tongue. Bitter and sweet tangling with each other. His fingers pressed into me, brusingly tight.
"We can't bet doing this--," he said as he pulled away.
He kissed me again gently.
"But--" I pleaded.
"Not here," he whispered.
Graham reached into his front pocket, pulling out his cell phone. His hands shook slightly as he typed.
"Come on," he said finally, he grabbed my hand tugging me out to the city streets flagging down a taxi.
I followed, loyal. Confused.
"What are we doing,"
"Listen, Lydia... I want you so bad. But it's not... legal," he stated. "You are my client, but I can't stop thinking about you in ways I shouldn't,"
Graham leaned into me at the back of the cab, kissing me and taking my breath. His large hands roamed my body, touching ever curve he could before the car finely stopped.
He pulled me into a large hotel, rushing for check in then straight into the room. I did not have time to look around before he had me on the bed.
"Do you want to have sex with me?" he whispered into my ear.
I kissed him again.
"Yes," I said fervently.
His hands slipped over my button down, gently unfastening my shirt. Graham's eyes were filled with hunger as the clothing fell away from my skin. The roughness of his facial hair raised my goosebumps, and a chill ran down my spine as he kissed my breasts. With each kiss, he inched down stopping above my bra, biting the fabric clasping my nipple gently between his teeth as he nibbles at it. Tingles shivered down to my pussy, almost forcing me to cum right then.
Had it been that long?
