Chapter Nine

Am I falling in love with him?

That wasn’t the plan. Sure, we’re having sex. A lot of sex. A lot of toe-curling, mind-bending sex. But that was supposed to be what this was about. Sure, he wants to buy my clothes since the dress code is his idea, and he even insists on spoiling me because—according to him—he enjoys my company and our arrangement.

But there’s been a shift in our interactions that I can’t deny no matter how hard I try. And since last week, since the evening with Camille that ended up with Mr. M. and me spending the night at the Stonestreet Inn, my feelings are more complicated. And the text I just got? I’m afraid it’s going to complicate things even further.

It’s been a satisfying day for the most part, the kind that keeps me too occupied to think of anything but work. I had the pleasure of winning a case for a very nice lady I’ve been representing. Mrs. Brisby ran a music store with her partner for over thirty years, but he died last year. The pair was good at teaching piano and violin, but terrible at record keeping. So much of their partnership was by verbal agreement; they were best friends so there never seemed to be a reason to get lawyers involved. But then the partner’s son stepped forward and tried to claim the pair weren’t partners, but that Mrs. Brisby was an employee. He wanted the music school for himself, which he claimed was an inheritance.

I don’t often get involved with clients, but in this case, I did. In fact, I spent six hours in a musty attic going through old records to reassemble the history of the school through receipts that showed Mrs. Brisby was the one who invested most of the money. Today we won the case hands down. Her partner’s son got a settlement, but the judge determined that Mrs. Brisby was the primary investor in the entire venture.

Here I am, on cloud nine and feeling like a boss. And then I check my texts.
