Progressing.

The discovery process was going to take a lot longer than you thought. You had to go through several walls of red tape, all the while Aubrey was **** to work with him on the proceedings.

At the end of the week, the two of you finally say down together to go over it. You'd hardly an each other the entire week due to the case. You wanted nothing more than to take her right there in her office, but she kept your head on straight.

"You know," she said as you sifted through the papers. "He's really not such a bad guy."

"You're kidding, right? He's an asshole, Aubrey." You gave her a disbelieving look as she spoke about Jake.

"No, really! Sure, he can be a bit cocky, but when it comes down to it, he's not that bad of a guy. It sounds like he hides behind that manly exterior in order to mask his insecurities. Maybe go a bit easier on him? Despite all of this, he's still going through a rough time."

You said you'd try, but you weren't all that sure you could.

Then, one day, you got a text from an unknown number.

Unknown: Keep Aubrey away from Jake if you don't want to lose her.

You texted back, asking what that meant, but received no reply. What the hell did that mean? That she'd sleep with Jake? Yea, right. The two of you were impossible to get between. The irony of you saying that about your affair partner wasn't lost of you, but it was true.

While she was on your mind, you sent her a text.
"Hey, was thinking about you. Do you want to do dinner tonight?"

• Sorry! I would love to, but I have to work on more prep with Jake! Raincheck?

"Of course!" You replied. You tried not to immediately get jealous, but the other text was weighing on you.

You got another text, this time from a number you knew. Jake.

• Sup. You still working on my case?
"Yes, Jake. I'm still working on your case."
• Good. By the way, your boss is hot as fuck. She seeing anyone?
"Actually, yes. She is."
• Like that'll stop me. I mean, look at her!

• Found that on her Instagram. She was posting about how happy this guy makes her, but I bet what she really needs is a good dicking.
"She's your lawyer. She's not going to fuck you."
• Wanna bet?
"What?"
• How much do you bet that I can convince her to fuck me? No, better yet: I bet I can get her to worship my cock and beg me to fuck her.
"You're insane. She'd never do it."
• If you're that confident, then make the bet.

You trusted Aubrey more than you trusted anyone else. Over the past few months the two of you had grown closer than you and Tegan ever could have hoped for.

"Fine. What're the stakes?"
• Nice! Good man. Let's see, if I get to fuck her... You have to admit that I'm a better man than you since I could get a woman you couldn't and submit to me.
"And if I win, you accept the plea deal."
...
...
• Deal. We'll give it a week. If I can fuck her within one week, you'll have to do whatever I say. Hm... I might even make you let me fuck your wife! Oooh! Or that hot mom of yours!
"Dream on."
