Days of gathering evidence, her security tapes from the manse, the results of her rape kit, witnesses from the hospital, everything seemed like it was in Karen's favor. She hadn't given any description of her attacker when she went to the hospital, so the police had no leads, they could pursue nothing. All they had was the rape kit, until she offered them a match for the excrement they found inside of her. Will was sentenced with some hours of community service and a fine for his violence towards Ted, but he took it in stride and continued to work on Karen's case. The two hadn't made love since he was arrested. She was angry with him for making her tell her secret, but she also felt betrayed. It was unbelievable to her that he told, after he promised he never would.

"Honey, what are you doing?" Karen asked as Will lay on top of her. She was resting on the couch, staring at the ceiling after a long day of working on her case. The court date had been set and they were hurrying to find all the evidence and arguments they could. It was exhausting.

"I think you know." He whispered into her neck before trailing kisses down to her collarbone. She closed her eyes and licked her lips before trying to push him away. He wouldn't allow her to move from beneath him. "Are you still angry with me?"

"Of course I am." Her words were quickly spat in his face and it took him aback.

"I wasn't betraying your trust, if that's what you think."

"You know that's what I think."

"I'm protecting you. Who knows what else he is capable of? But if we get him off the streets, there's no telling how many women you're saving. You may not be the only one." She hated the way that he always seemed to bring a sense of logic to their conversation. It was annoying, but it also made her think. Maybe he was right, but doubts were still flooding her mind.

"What if we lose the case, honey?" Her whisper was shy and he pecked her lips in a form of comfort. "What happens if he gets out?"

"If he ever lays a finger on you again, I will kill him. He is never going to hurt you when I'm around." She took a deep breath and couldn't help, but smile at his words. "Now, can I kiss you?"

She nodded in response and he took her breath away with a deep kiss. His tongue was quick to penetrate her lips and she wrapped her arms around his neck. He moved and she spread her legs, bending them at the knees on each side of his body. The kiss was soft and sensual, yet deep and full of energy that made their heart rates race. She sighed as his hand slid up her bare thigh and underneath the fabric of her dress, caressing the line of her thong.

"Honey, not here." Her voice was strained and followed by a sigh as his lips trailed down her neck and met her cleavage.

"Who's going to know?" He unbuttoned the top of her dress and licked the skin between her breasts, sending a chill throughout her spine. She slightly arched her back as he kissed his way down the front of her body. His fingers played with the thin fabric of her panties while his other hand slowly unbuttoned the front of her dress.

The dress was fully opened when he made his way back up her body and kissed her full on the mouth. She lifted his shirt from his body, desperate to feel his skin against hers. She unbuckled his belt and pushed his pants and boxers down as far as necessary. She awaited his removal of her thong, but gasped when he ripped it from her body with a swift pull.

"Ouch, Will!"Her voice was breathless and anxious. He shut her up with a kiss and guided himself into her body. They sighed at the connection and deeply kissed, before slowly beginning to move.

Moments later they were gasping for air on the couch, her legs wrapped tightly around his waist. The lovers were so consumed in their passion that they didn't notice the opening of the door or the two figures witnessing the scene. It was when Will moved his head to the other side of Karen's face, sucking on her neck, that she got a clear view of the door. She gasped and tried to push him away from her.

"Am I hurting you?" He panicked and stopped moving.

"No, damn it, get off of me, honey." He followed her gaze and looked to the door, his face turning pale. She continued to try to push him away from her and he finally pulled out. They rushed to cover themselves, overwhelmingly embarrassed. He pulled his pants up and stood from the couch.

"What the hell are you doing here?"
