Conflict Of Interest | A Legal Romance ⚖️🖤| Attorney x Criminal
*bang* The bed hit the wall once. *tap* Twice. The black sheets twisted under my knees. My palms slid forward, and he caught my waist, dragged me back to him, making me take every inch again. My body opened around him. I wanted more. I pushed back against him. He made a sound low in his chest. Not praise. Hunger. One hand left my hip and landed on my ass with a sharp smack. Not cruel or accidental. The sting flashed over my skin and went straight between my legs. I jolted forward, and he pulled me back harder, filling me so deep my breath broke. "Oh my God." "No." His hand slid up my spine, over the tattoo, fingers tracing black arches while his hips kept their brutal rhythm. "No God in this room." ⸻ Lavinia Cross is twenty-seven, brilliant, controlled, and one of Philadelphia's most formidable criminal defense attorneys. Jack Kincaid is six-foot-five, unnervingly calm, and arrested covered in a dead man's blood. Everyone thinks he did it. Lavinia doesn't. Jack tells her he didn't kill Andrew Pell. The problem is that Jack never said he wasn't a killer. For an entire month, Lavinia builds his defense while Jack sits beside her in court, follows her instructions, controls his temper, and keeps his hands off the one woman he has absolutely no business wanting. His attorney. Then she gets him acquitted. The cuffs come off. The case ends. And suddenly Jack no longer has a professional rule forcing him to behave. Getting involved with the man she just defended should already be the worst decision Lavinia has ever made. It isn't. Because the closer she gets to Jack, the more she realizes his innocence only ever applied to the body she defended him for. Jack doesn't ask her to believe he's good. He doesn't promise to become harmless. He gives her the one thing she demands from him: The truth. And Lavinia may be far more comfortable with the man underneath all that blood than either of them expected. ⛓️💥 MMC based on Jack Reach
