"What did your lawyer say?" I asked Brax as soon as he walked through the door

"He's going through the CCTV from the night as we speak" he informed me "he said if there's any sign of me sexually harassing her then he'll find it"

"But there's not, so why does he have to look?" I questioned

"He's just covering all bases, babe" he replied "it's his job. It's what we pay him for"

I sighed… "I hate this. You've done nothing wrong. Why can't this woman leave us alone?"

"She wants to try and get money out of me I'm guessing. She won't though" he assured me

"Can we not just pay her off?" I inquired, raising an eyebrow

"Yeah, because that's not gonna look suspicious at all" he stated "we have to fight this, Charlie. What happened to the fighting spirit from last night?"

"Who needs fighting spirit and why?" Ruby's voice asked as she and Casey walked in the door

"Do you wanna tell them or shall I?" I questioned

"I'm being sued for sexual harassment" Brax informed them

"What? Who by?" Ruby inquired, shocked

"An agency waitress who I brought in for John and Gina's vow renewal" he replied "my lawyer is adamant she'll lose though"

"But you'd just got married? You only had eyes for each other?" she questioned

"Rubes, this isn't your problem to worry about, okay?" Brax asked, placing his hands on her shoulders "I love that you wanna be supportive but you don't need to worry. You and Case need to worry about yourselves and your own lives, yeah?"

She sighed and nodded… "Are you okay, Mum?"

"I'm fine, sweetie" I assured her "I trust Brax 100%, and he knows what would happen if this was to be true"

"He wouldn't just have you to deal with" she admitted, smiling at Brax

"Now I'm scared" he chuckled "one Braxton woman I can handle, but two"

As I was about to serve dinner that evening a knock at the door sounded, Brax answering it…

"David, hi, what can I do for you?" he asked as he opened the door to our lawyer

"I've been through all the CCTV evidence from the vow renewal. There's nothing – she won't have a leg to stand on in court" he informed us as I walked into the living room

"That's brilliant. But one question; if she hasn't got a leg to stand on, why does the case have to go to court?" I questioned

"It's just procedure, Mrs. Braxton" he informed me

I sighed and nodded… "Would you like to stay for dinner and a glass of wine?"

"No thanks, I told my wife I wouldn't be long. I'll see you on Friday, Brax" he replied

Brax nodded and shut the door behind him, wrapping his arms around my waist from behind as I served up dinner... "Relax, Charlie"

I sighed contentedly and struggled to contain a moan as his hands trailed up my back and began to massage my shoulders… "As much as I want you to carry on, dinner's served"

"Later" he replied, kissing my cheek softly as he sat down at the table opposite me
