Chapter 17

   I let out a sigh of satisfaction. My right hand on my chest as my breathing calm down. I smiled then look over at Seth. "You really outdid yourself this time."

He smiled, "Thank you." looking up at the ceiling.

I laugh, "No thank you."

"I knew you were going to call." He turned and look into my eyes.

Three hours Earlier

  I push my case files away and stand up, rubbing my eyes. I needed a break from all this work.

   I pressed the power button on my remote, the first channel that came on was MTV; A couple was kissing. I skipped over to BET, a couple was kissing then I tried Disney, a teen was giving a kiss on the cheek. I rolled my eyes and press the power button. What's all the kissing for on tv tonight? I just want to watch a regular none-kissing movie.

  I let out a sigh of frustration.

 I was too tired to work, and boredom was killing me.

 I needed more friends. I need people like Seth in my life.

  Seth!

   I need Seth to keep my company, but it was wrong. I should never be so lonely that I retreat the enemy. But I am lonely. Very, very lonely.

 I reached over to my phone and searched for his name in my contact. I press the call button and placed it to my ears. It rang a few times before he finally answered.

   "Goodnight, Ms. Jones. What do I owe this pleasure?" I rolled my eyes at myself. I can't believe I called him after everything I swore to myself, I took up my phone and dialled Seth's number.

  "Goodnight, Seth. How are you?" I didn't want to go right to the point, it would make me seem a little desperate.

  "Better now that I'm talking to you." I smiled at his words even though he probably used it a lot with other girls. "How are you, Ms. Jones."

  I hesitated before answering, "I'm bored. Really bored. I was wondering if you'd want to keep my company." I didn't expect my words to sound like that until they actually came out of my mouth.

 He heard his chuckle, "I thought we were enemies."

   I sigh and hissed my teeth, "Okay, it's fine. Have a great night." Annoyed, I went to press the cancel button, but he spoke before I could.

   "Hold on a sec, I'd love to come over and take you out of your boredom. Give me a few minutes." I could imagine the smile he had on his face now.

  "Okay." I didn't know what else to say. "See you soon." Then the line went dead.

  I played with my phone in my hands.

Did I make the right decision by calling Seth over tonight?

  He was the prosecutor of my client, we were on the opposite team. But he also knows how to have fun and at this moment, I needed some fun.

So, did I do the right thing?

  It's not exactly wrong either.

  Seth was a great company.

 The only thing I needed to do was not to mix business with pleasure. That was easy right?

  I looked around the place to see if it was clean.

  Rojo and her pups were sleeping which meant, one less problem. The kitchen was clean, the bedroom was clean, the bathroom was clean.

  Okay, Kari. You're good.

  I took up the case files and place them in my briefcase then placed in office, closing the door behind me.

  The knock on my door had me rushing over to it. I didn't want Seth to come and see one of my neighbours at my door. Tonight is about me having some fun, not me lending some sugar.

   I opened my door with a big fake smile, but it turned in a real one when I noticed who was standing there.

  "How did you get up?"

  He shrugs, "Someone was leaving. Are you going to let me in?"

  I moved away from my door opening it wider for him to enter. He is wearing a business suit with cause me to frown. "Why are you in a suit?"

  "I was on my way home from work when you called." I close the door and walked over to him.

"So late?" It was almost ten.

   He nods, "Yea. I have a huge case working on. He killed his wife and their six-year-old daughter. Cruel son of a bitch. You should have seen how precious the little girl was and now she's gone." I could see the emotions in his eyes and facial expression. I heard about the killing since everyone was talking about it. Apparently, no law firm or lawyer wanted to take the case of the man, so they assigned him a public defender and the defender that they assigned him ironically had a six-year-old.

 "That's beyond terrible."

  He turns his head and looks at me with a smile, the previous sadness gone. "Now you said you wanted to have some fun."

 I smiled nodding my head, "I do want to have some fun."

 He reached out for me and pulled me in his arms. He bent his head and captured his lips to mine.

Present

  I looked over at him and smile. Did he really know that I was going to call him? "You think I was gonna call."

He shakes his head, "No, I knew you were going call."

 I raised my brows, "How?"

  He moved and came over me, "Because the last time was mind-blowing, and you'd be a fool not to want more."

   I flushed, he was right. The night of the party had been earth-shattering. He had hit places I didn't even know exist.

  "It was but, it's even better tonight." It seemed like every time we had sex we got better and better. More intense orgasms and so much more pleasure.

  He bent his lips to mine, "Tonight I had you screaming." I blush but I didn't last since he started kissing me.

  He removed his lips from mine and brought his head to my neck, "You smell so good."

  "I was thinking the same thing." his scent was musky and at the same time honeyed. 

"I'm hungry." He says suddenly, moving away from me.

  "For me?" I asked kinky.

   He laughs, "I'll always be hungry for you but I'm actually really hungry now, the last time I eat was lunch and that was over nine hours ago."

  I nod and tried sitting up. "I don't really have anything cooked."

  "Then I'll cook." He pushed himself off the bed and I couldn't help but admire his beautiful naked form. He shakes his head and smile, "I know I'm sexy but I'm also hungry so will you stop staring."

   I rolled my eyes and pushed myself off the bed and standing as naked as he was. I slowly walked over to him and pressed my naked body against him. I used my hands to feel his muscles beneath my fingers.

  "I think we should go take a shower and then we get you something to eat." The only reason why I suggested shower was because I wanted to feel his body against mine again. Even though 'down there' was still a bit tender, I couldn't help myself. The man was a God.

  "That's a good idea." I bent his head and brought his lips to mine.

.....

  "What will you cook?" I asked sitting around my island as he looks through my fridge.

   "I was thinking along the lines of early breakfast. It's basically a new day." I looked over at the clock and he was right, it was 12:33. I didn't even see the time going so fast. We'd spent quite some time in the bathroom after all.

   He took out the hash browns, plantains and eggs out of my fridge. I wasn't sure what he wanted to make but he sure looked sexy wearing a robe and looking for something to cook.

   "What's your favourite food?" I found myself asking. I was interested in his likes and dislikes, after all. I'm sleeping with the guy. I oath to know things about him.

  "I love seafood. Like everything from the sea." He answered as he continued to look around.

   My face lid up even though be couldn't see me, "Really? I absolutely love seafood. Especially Curry Lobster. It's to die for."

  "I agree and spicy crab." He kissed his fingers which made me laugh.

  "I can't believe you actually have taste in food." I made a little excited to have someone to share my love of seafood with. Iris and Brandon were the meat type of couple.

 "There is a lot of things you don't know about me, Ms. Jones." He turns to look at me as he said the words.

"Well, I have time to find out, don't I?" I smiled at him.

  He nods then turn back around, "Yea, you have plenty of time."

   I laugh. I did have plenty of time to get to know him. I wanted to get to know this man who was so cute and sweet yet so mysterious at the same time. He was definitely best friend material, but he wasn't my best friend, he was the enemy. He was on the opposite team and it was something I couldn't run away from.

  "Seth," I said softly.

  "Hmm..." he mumbles from in the fridge.

   "I'm not gonna say, this must not happen again because I know that's not true. I want it to happen again. I want this to happen again so bad."

 "But?" he interjects.

  "But, no one can know. Iris and Brandon yes, because we really can't hide anything from them but no one else." Whatever this was it had to stay between us. "I can't avoid anyone seeing us in public, but we can still have sex whenever we want."

 "It's like friends with benefits kinda thing." He states turning around looking at me.

 I nod but he responds, "Except we're not friends, are we?"

 I didn't know how to answer. So, I did what I think was right, "No. We're not."

  "I see," he said then turn back to his previous task.

   "Seth you have to understand, as long as you're a DA and I'm a lawyer we'll always be on the opposite team." I try defending my point for the hundredth time.

 "I understand." But did he really?

  Did Seth really see the importance of us not to be seen in public today?
