“Your student just blackmailed me,” Tristan said as he came into my office and took a seat on the chair in front of my desk.

“Apparently, that’s her new thing,” I told him.

In seventy-two hours she had managed to become a whole new person. She was bolder, and a lot colder. Was this what Selene had been worried about?

“She got you too?” he asked with a frown.

I snorted. “She wouldn’t dare. Plus doing that would look worse on her. She isn’t stupid.”

“So what’s going on between you two?”

Pinching the bridge of my nose, I leaned back on my chair. “I don’t know. Why do I even care?”

“You like her.”

It wasn’t a question, but I still nodded. “I like her. I like her a little too much.”

“Are you pursuing her?”

Was I?

“I pursued her, and she rejected me because she wants to be a good lawyer.”

“Which makes you like her more.”

“Are you getting paid for this time? If so, I really should dock your pay.”

I didn’t need people reading my thoughts or feelings for me.

“You truly are as black hearted as they say, taking money away from your soon-to-be niece’s father. I wonder if she will have a cousin soon though. You and Thea—”

“Get out!”

“Hit a nerve there, didn’t I?” he mocked, his tone rising. “Let’s hope she doesn’t see that mark on your neck… unless she already knows it’s there.”

I threw a pen at his head. “It’s a bug bite.”

“Sure,” he grinned, moving to the door where I suddenly remembered what he first said.

“What did she blackmail you for?”

He smirked. “She asked me to help her impress you by helping you win this case. Apparently she wants to keep her name on the board. She reminds me of her mother.”

That made me cringe.

“They say The Shark kept a written record of all the favors ever owed to her, along with a few details she had on some high profile people, just in case she ever needed help from them. She used it to persuade them to help her.”

I didn’t say anything, and he took it as his cue to leave.

I liked her and I wanted to be with her again. I could admit to that. What I couldn’t admit was that I wanted to chase after her.

I just wasn’t sure how to balance all the sides of me; the professor, the lawyer, the guy under all of that… the guy that just wanted to be in bed with her again.

“We have a problem,” Raymond said bursting in.

I was already on my feet walking.

“What type of a problem?”

“The video was just leaked about our client.”

From the way he sounded, I could tell that he didn’t believe this was just a coincidence.

As we entered the conference room, I noticed that everyone’s eyes were glued to the screen.

“I hate that *BEEP*. I hate that whole in entire *BEEP* family!” A drunken Mariah Nash slurred into camera on the news. “Do you know how much *BEEP* I have to deal with in that *BEEP* family. And his kids, his *BEEP* kids.
