Caught: In a Case (4 page)

“Baby I don’t care. I want you.” The phone rang again but he ignored it. They continued for another five minutes when her phone rang. That shook them out of their mindless dry fucking. “If you didn’t have to go to school
we would be continuing this in your room; not ending until I have cum in your pussy at least twice.”

“Ready Babe?” Jackson said as headed to the door.

“Sure just let me get my jacket and purse.” She just put on her cute little jacket when he pulled her back into his arms, “one more.” Giving a quick and chaste kiss they headed out the front door. In front of a beautiful town car stood one of the largest men she had ever seen. He was all suited up and serious looking.

“Elizabeth this is Mike. Mike this is my Elizabeth. Sweetie he will be driving you to and from the school and wherever you would like to go.”

He listened to the message from his mother
, as Elizabeth spoke with Mike, and it was just a reminder about the party this weekend. Which he sure as hell had forgotten. Shit he was not going to leave her for that long.

On the way he informed her that he had to fly out to Maine for a party his mom was having for his little sister’s birthday. It was a big deal she was
eighteen. Damn she was older than his woman. He never thought any of his sister’s friends were remotely appealing. The smile that had been on my girl’s face had faded. “Baby girl what is a matter? Don’t you want to come with me?”

She looked up at me damn near tears, she must be close to feeling what I was
feeling. The thought of being without her would make me want to punch a fucking wall or someone’s face. “You want me to go?” she whispered and blushed, damn that innocent thing she does was really hot.

“Elizabeth of course I want you to come. So pack for the whole weekend and don’t you dare bring that red number or you will end up fucked in the closest room even if it’s crowded.”

Elizabeth was feeling a bit overwhelmed. It had taken her two months to officially meet Tommy’s parents and they lived nearby. Jackson and I just met and hardly know each other. Granted I did find out a great deal about him from our dinner last night. I wonder what they will think of me. Had they had someone better picked out for their son? The Blake’s were a well-known and wealthy family in Maine. I came from a wealthy family but it was new wealth and with my dad missing, people were looking at me weird, always thinking I was guilty or something. There were rumors that he had stolen our wealth from his investors and that was why he was missing. When I asked the police about it they told me it wasn’t true, I hoped so because I didn’t want to profit at the expense of others.

She has that worried look on her face. “Don’t worry, they will love you. We will be back on Sunday night so you will be back on time for school on Monday.” They spent the next five minutes kissing and caressing until they reached the school. After righting each other’s clothes they stepped out of the car. Turning her to face him he told her with a stern countenance, “If anyone fucks with you, you tell me, you hear? And don’t talk to that fuck Tommy because I might have to end him.” The age thing would be an issue for many
, hell it bothered me that I was claiming this child, but it couldn’t be helped and if anyone didn’t fucking like it to hell with them. If they fuck with my girl heads will roll.

I got to the office early to meet with Caleb just to go over the case with him then I was washing my hands of this shit. I wanted this big case but I wanted my Elizabeth more. She still didn’t quite get my feelings for her but she will. Elizabeth is my forever.

Caleb’s door was open and he was going over the file I had given him yesterday. Knocking on the open door I walked right in. “Caleb how’s it going?” He lifted his head with his I am a jackass smile. “Good morning to you sunshine. You seem chipper. I wonder why that is? Are your lips swollen?”

Jackson actually smiled and grinned like a fool, “I kissed her.”

“Dude did you really? A real kiss? Ha! You sound like you are in Jr. High. Is her age rubbing off on you?” The fuck had the nerve to laugh, asshole.

“Fuck off. I can’t get enough of her. It’s pretty fucked up. I am pathetic. Now
, I know how are those women who wanted more than my cock felt; that feeling isn’t cool.”

Caleb kept laughing until I whacked him with the file. “How is the case looking?” This sobered him up. I couldn’t wait until he found someone, payback is a bitch.

“Good, I like a good mystery and it seems we have one. You were right something doesn’t ring true. According to the records gathered he makes a call to a disposable number and then heads out at two in the morning after having a heart to heart with his little girl? Fishy. There has been no movement on his credit cards or his vehicle. Duke and Benson have been checking the highway and neighborhood cameras and looking into his financials. It seems that before he disappeared he was spending more than he was making. It looks like your girl will be broke in the next few months. She won’t have money to go to school in the fall.”

“How do you know she is going away?” I wondered what they talked about before I got there. I could trust him with my life but I was jealous.

“It was in the info that was gather for the case, in the file. Did you actually read it?”

“Well she won’t be going to that school so I will get it refunded and she will go someone close to home or online because fuck if I am letting her go. She won’t be broke because she will be mine.”

He was serious and it made his friend laugh harder. “Congrats you crazy SOB. Does she know? Or are you going to just pirate her off to Vegas?”

“She will find out soon enough. We are going up to see my parents this weekend.” I was a proud fucking peacock.

“Now I came in here to help get some shit done on this case because the less my girl has deal with the better. Okay so what are we to do about the Homan case? I don’t think the prick is dead and if he isn’t I am going to kill the fucker myself because he left my girl all alone and sad. What evidence is there to really blame Mrs. Homan?”

Jackson sat back down, propping his feet on Caleb’s desk which we promptly kicked off.

“Nothing really, the fact that they were on the verge of a divorce may have been the motive they were looking for but according to her statement to police it was her who was doing the divorcing. I will ask her about it when we meet today. Do you want to be in on that?”

Jackson got up and walked to the door, turned and replied, “I will just to transition but just briefly if she was looking for a rich man she was trying to find it with me, another reason to be off the case. The hell if I was going for that. I don’t want that woman anywhere near my dick. I have what I need in Elizabeth.”

Jackson went back to his office to work on the pile of cases that had been dumped on his desk and select the cases he would like to handle and the rest he would redistribute to the team, with Caleb’s insight, in their meeting this afternoon. Most of our cases were lawsuit types in nature. Rarely were they dealing with any serious criminal cases like the Homan case. It had rocked the media that a former model had been arrested and charged with her husband’s disappearance and supposed murder. They had no body and really no case. It was some eager ass DA and the Mayor that thought it would be great for their careers.

There were two cases that seemed challenging so those were his. He didn’t have time for more since he wanted to spend time with Elizabeth but as the head of the firm he liked to lead by example. He came from a wealthy family but it was not their money that helped launch this firm he started out just like every young lawyer. But he flew up that ladder like he had wings. He had won all of his cases. He worked long
and hard to achieve his goals. He wanted to be independent from his parents. Not that he did not appreciate his heritage or family wealth it was just something he had to do as a man. He wanted to see the value in himself instead of the wealth that shrouded him and the only thing that everyone else saw in him.

As a young man he learned quickly what females wanted. When he was eighteen he learned a lesson that had given him the strength to push the envelope. He had been dating this chick and things were going good. She had been his first lover but he wasn’t hers. He saw her chatting with some
friends but they hadn’t noticed him and she mentioned how she had it all in the bag. That she would have a ring on her finger in no time and that she would roll in the family money but she would still keep her side lover because his cock was smaller and she could handle it better. The look on her face had been hilarious if he wasn’t so pissed. The bitch had been cheating on him and laughed about it. He got even with her ass. What she didn’t know was that he wasn’t planning to marry her and he told her in front of her friends. I wasn’t in love with the girl, I hardly liked her but I enjoyed that she was sweet in bed. She should get an academy award for acting. “Fucking whore, go crawl back to your lover. I don’t want shit to do with you. But you there, Patti is your name right, do you want to ride on my big cock?” I grinned at the hot little friend of my ex.

I scooped up her friend and took her on the hood of my car. That started my emotionless sex—
capade until I met my buttercup. Hell I haven’t even had sex with her and all my emotions were involved. It’s been a long stretch for me; it’s been almost a year without some pussy. I am in need. My girl is going to have to give me some soon.

My staff met in the conference room where I ravished my woman the day before and damn my dirty thoughts! How the hell am I to conduct a meeting with a fucking hard on?

“Everyone take your seats. I know that you are all busy so I will not keep you long but I would like to introduce to you our two new lawyers that have joined us. We have Matthew Ryder, who is just graduated from Harvard Law and Sophia Rinaldi who is joining us from the Chicago Law firm Hoyt, Wells and Michaels. Help me welcome them.” I turned to them and spoke to them directly “For the next two cases you will be working alongside some of more experienced lawyers. We have 18 new cases that we have accepted. I have divided them up according to everyone’s current case list. Matthew, Sophia, if you cannot handle your new cases or if you need assistance let myself or Caleb know. Thank you everyone and have a great day.” Caleb’s assistant/new office manager, Kristen passed out the cases to the corresponding lawyers as they exited.

Jackson was tired; loving a woman was draining, how the fuck did his dad do it. He took his usual seat, laid his head back to relax and closed his eyes. He had twenty minutes before the meeting with Laney Homan, damn did that bitch make him tired. He must have nodded off because Caleb walked in with Mrs. Homan and startled him awake.

“Sorry to disturb you sleeping beauty, see that is why we are having some changes made around here.” He laughed it off as he called on the intercom to his assistant to bring us some coffee; I was going to need it.

“Had a rough night Jackson” purred Laney. Damn that woman, when would she get that I am not interested in a gold digging whore?

“My activities outside the office are none of your concern and for the record my activities in my office are no longer your concern.” I was getting testy with the broad. She was a like a pit bull. Once she saw what she wanted she bit and locked her jaw on it, until it submitted, but that shit was not going down with me. I am like a fucking shark I will chew you up and spit you out because I can.

Caleb put a hand on my shoulder to let me know he will take over. “Mrs. Homan I will be now handling your case. Mr. Blake has other obligations that will take him away and may be conflicting with his ability to give you the best chance of winning the case.”

“But I want him or I will look for a different law firm to represent me.” She huffed in an all-out spoiled brat fashion.

“About that Mrs. Homan we have been looking into your husband’s assets and it seems that you will not be able to be afford our fees soon. If you wish to look for different representation please be our guest but if you still want us to work your defense then I suggest you calm down and get the notion that Jackson Blake will anything more intimate to you than your former lawyer.” Jackson wanted to add step-son but that bitch would have nothing to do with Elizabeth when they married.

Pissed she let them have it. She tossed her water that was brought to her at Caleb. “I don’t believe a word you say and I want Blake as my lawyer and since you will not do it. I will look elsewhere.” Laney Homan stormed out the door in a hurry.

“What the hell just happened?” Caleb was pissed this was his favorite silk tie. “Fucking bitch ruined my tie. I am glad to wash my hands of her.”

Jackson was laughing his ass off. He stood and got ready to walk to the office when Caleb stopped him. “Jax be careful something isn’t right about this case and that crazy broad really seems interested in you, interested a bit too much if you ask me.”

“Do you think she found out about Elizabeth and
I. They don’t talk anymore so it’s not likely unless she saw us together, but I doubt it.”

“Probably not because she wouldn’t have left that topic untouched. Let’s just send out Duke to follow her and make sure she doesn’t give you and the misses any trouble.”

“Good thinking man.”

The rest of the work day had gone pretty uneventful. My girl stayed late at school to finish her final project and then would be heading back to my place. I have to convince Elizabeth to spend the night. I mean she is an adult and she lives alone what is the big deal. So I will see at dinner, my cook made us something special for dinner. I am going to let her eat it maybe depending on if I can let her out of my arms when I see her. I waited patiently by the door when the Mike entered the gate with my baby girl in back.

His phone rang, he looked at the caller ID, and it was Mike calling him. He had to know that I knew he was pulling into gate. “Hey Boss I was wondering if we could talk briefly when I you have a chance. It’s kind of important.”

“Is anything wrong with Elizabeth?” I was panicking. Nothing could be wrong with my girl or I will lose my shit.

“No sir she is fine in fact she must have been tire because she is napping in the back seat.”

“Okay, don’t wake her. I will meet you out front.” I rushed out the front door and down the steps. Mike stepped out the car and looked nervous. Damn that was scary when a big guy like him seemed apprehensive.
