Bo's POV – 5 Days Later - Battle & Associates P.C.
"Here, it's a new criminal case for you." I look up to see Tamsin holding out a new case file for me to take. I took it from her with a nod. "Thanks" She nods back at me before turning to leave my office.
"Hey Tamsin, can I ask you something? Something I've wanted to ask for a while now." She turns her face towards me. "What's up?"
"You hired me primarily to be the firm's Criminal Prosecutor which isn't common. But when firms do, do that; it's to cover their own asses in case the firm or any of the firm's senior attorneys ever finds themselves in criminal legal trouble. Then, the in-house criminal prosecutor uses their knowledge to get the firm and or attorneys out of trouble and as you know, private law firms don't ever deal with many of the cases that we deal with especially criminal cases because we're not supposed to. So how is it that this firm deals with everything that both types of law firms deal with?"
"Simple, I wanted the security of a private law firm, meaning I have more control over my firm in every way instead of the government having more control over my firm than I do. I also wanted the benefit of dealing with less red tape than a public firm would have to deal with. But, I also wanted to be able to offer almost every type of legal service there is to offer."
"I see and how did you manage to get the best of both worlds?" Tamsin gave me a mysterious look before she answered my question. "You have your secrets, I have mine, McCorrigan." I watched her retreating form as I wondered whether or not her cryptic statement actually meant something or not. Does she know something about me that she shouldn't…?
Later That Day
I'm so ready to leave my office, for some reason even though I was busy all day, the day still went by so slowly. I took a minute to stretch my limbs when I'm pleasantly surprised by Lauren's voice. "So, this is where you work."
I immediately looked her way and see that she's holding two cups of coffee. "Hey, I hope you don't mind me stopping by, I just wanted to see you before I went to work since I haven't seen you since our date thanks to our opposite schedules lately. After all, texting, calling and video chats can only do so much. There are just some things technology can't provide, like seeing you in all your beauty in person. There is nothing else better than that to me, when it comes to you and I came with the gift of caffeine."
I immediately smile back at Lauren's smile as I stood up, making my way to her. "You should know that I feel the same way about you and you're always welcome here." I almost went in for a kiss before I stopped myself. What if a kiss is too forward?
Lauren chuckled and put down the cups of coffee on my coffee table before facing me again. She wrapped her arms around my waist and pulled me into her. "Here…let me help you make your decision on whether to be chivalrous and safe by hugging me or…" She leaned in, capturing my lips with a passionate kiss.
I've never kissed lips so soft and sweet before, it's intoxicating…I decided to be bold and asked for entrance into her mouth with my tongue against her sweet and supple lips. She opened her mouth for me immediately, our tongues danced together perfectly as if they've done this a hundred times. Our hands started roaming each other's bodies through our clothing as a moan escaped from both of us.
I've never experienced a kiss this intense and passionate in my life. The kiss is rapidly growing out of control. I was about to slip my hand under her shirt when we hear something being dropped on the floor. We were startled apart as we turned our faces and saw a completely stunned Tamsin who was staring at Lauren.
"Laur…?"
"Valkyrie…?"
