I gave the guys my "get the fuck lost" face, and they beat feet ahead of us.

"Can I have your card?"

"Oh, of course." She stopped and fumbled with her briefcase for a few seconds. Flustered, she huffed a bit of air up, ruffling her bangs. Cutest damn thing I'd ever seen. Tossing her head side to side, she marched over to a bench and set the briefcase down. Bending over to flip open the bag, I bet she didn't realize I got an eyeful-a nice, straight shot down her cleavage. I'd known a lot of women who did this exact thing looking to get a response like mine. But this chick, she had no idea. Holy hell, this girl was dangerous.

I shifted my weight from side to side while I contemplated circling around to check out the back view when she straightened up and thrust a bright green and off-white colored card at me. Unique and pretty, just like her.

"Sorry." She flashed a nervous grin.

"No problem." I took the card. Hope Kendall, Esq. God. Damn.

I flipped my wallet out of my cut and fished out five hundred-dollar bills, curled them over, and handed them to her.

She protested immediately. "Oh my gosh, Mr. North, I can't take that much. One hundred would be fine." She thrust the cash back at me.

I couldn't remember if I'd ever heard anyone over the age of five say "gosh" before. It was really fucking cute coming from Hope's mouth. I also didn't think I had ever known a person to turn down money when offered to them.

"No. You did an excellent job, considering it was sprung on you at the last minute. You earned it."

She blushed and looked down at her shoes. "Thank you."

Damn, she was sweet. She had this bright, wholesome thing going on. Why it got me so fucking hard, I had no idea. I usually didn't do clean. I liked my hookups nasty and dirty.

"No problem," I said. "Now, I'm starving. Let's go grab some lunch."

She hesitated, which was why I hadn't asked her to lunch.

"I should really"

"You have to be in court somewhere else?"

"No."

"So let's go eat."

"Don't you want to join your friends?" She gestured to the corner where Zero, Wrath, and Murphy had stopped for a smoke.

I wasn't used to girls trying to get away from me. Usually they jumped at the chance to, well, jump me. This one was twitching to ditch me. It made me want to pursue her even harder.

"Nah, they can come back and grab me later."

"I'm married," she squeaked out.

Well, fuck me..
