“What do you think they’re talking about?” The words were directed at Nate even though I hadn’t taken my eyes off Zara. She’d glanced my way a few times, and I had a hunch I knew where it was going.

He—the cocksucker—was going to invite her to be his guest, because that was what men like him did. Even if he’d arrived with someone else, he’d find an excuse to have her whisked away by an assistant and Zara seated in her place. I’d seen it a million times, married men trading their wives for mistresses, players juggling different girlfriends like no one’s feelings got hurt. And it annoyed the hell out of me and not just because I wanted Zara for myself.

She deserved more than that, more than the cheap pseudo emotions a man like Carlisle could give her. And even though I was aware I knew nothing about him other than what I’d read, there wasn’t a litigator on earth who could convince me he was good enough for her. Hell, I was positive I wasn’t good enough for her, but I wasn’t stupid enough to get hung up on the technicality.

She was gorgeous, and smart, and funny, and so many other things the list became too endless to count. And even though I knew it wasn’t practical, I wanted her more than to win my next case. Which was saying a lot since work had pretty much been my life.

Had I told her how beautiful she’d looked? How that dress curled around her body like it had been designed only for her? Why hadn’t I just kissed her when I’d gotten her alone in that car, told her the real reason I hadn’t wanted a driver was because I didn’t want to share her the whole night. I’d wanted to reach over and take her lips, to stop playing the stupid game we’d somehow found ourselves in. But there was a tiny part of me that didn’t trust myself. That knew once I’d kissed her again—really kissed her, with no misunderstandings between us—I’d have a hard time walking away. And I wasn’t sure how she’d feel about that.

Fuuuuuuuuck, it had been so long since I’d really cared about a woman, I wasn’t even sure how it was supposed to feel. Was I supposed to be so consumed by her? Obsessed? Want to go and rip off the fucking asshole’s arms she was talking to because he looked like he wanted to touch her?

“Why are you even asking me if you don’t care enough to listen?” Nate chuckled as he tossed back some more champagne. “Or was the question for yourself?”

“Sorry.” I shook my thoughts loose, not liking what was going on in my head. “What did you say?”

“I said, he was probably boring her to death with talk of his flashy sports car and yacht. Isn’t that what you accused men like him of doing? Or are you now doubting your own defense?”

I hated when Nate was observant, his retort earning a side-eye and an under-my-breath “Fuck you.
