"I'm sorry, honey, but I have to tell you the truth, and I wasn't referring to you. I meant in general. Tell me. How does it make you feel to consider the idea of allowing someone like Pedro or Randy walk free on the basis of a damn technicality? Is it OK to let them go even if it will endanger the lives of more people? You're able to accept it, right?""No one claims that they are going to walk. However, what would you like for me to do? Fabricate evidence to ensure convictions?""How can you let them get away with it if you know that person is guilty, and you know that person will kill innocent people?"Her voice had a slight wheezing quality to it. "I am unable to fathom what transpired between the two of you when you were with Pedro; but, whatever it was, it obliterated your point of view." Her voice became more resolute and assertive as she spoke. "It is impossible for you to contribute to a system that you do not believe in. You can't put criminals behind bars if you're willing

She said to her boss that she hoped he understood, and this brought him back into the conversation after he had almost completely lost track of it. "I mean, what's the point in putting yet another D. A. in jeopardy. I am already complicit in this, and I have no problem remaining undercover until the trial is over.Anna had bombarded him with questions about the best places to hide and the strategies they would use to return to the courthouse in time for the trial. He had deduced that whenever she was uncomfortable, whether in or out of bed, she attempted to exert control over the situation. It made no difference to him at all. In point of fact, it gave him a certain amount of satisfaction to know that he had overcome the obstacle in bed.However, he did not understand why the concept of doing so outside of it appealed to him in the first place. Not that it made any difference any longer. It was inappropriate for him to be so close to her. At this moment, he was faced with the unenviab

Anna was shaken wake as her tumultuous argument with Jerome, in addition to her concern for her family, tormented her thoughts as she attempted to fall back asleep.As they drew into the parking garage of the hotel, she sat up straight. "Why are we coming to a halt?" "I need to get some sleep and eat a proper dinner." As he stepped out of the vehicle after pushing open the door, he did not look in her direction. She gave it a moment of thought before deciding how to respond to him, taking note of the fact that he had used the first person singular. The dispute that they had continued to cause tension between them, which was suffocating and ready to suffocate whatever remaining friendly feelings that they had for one another. And it made her uncomfortable. It caused her a great deal of annoyance.She had spent a large amount of time throughout the fight pretending to sleep while she was anxiously thinking about it. Trying to understand why the disagreement between them mattered so much

Anna's jaw was locked tightly. She hadn't planned on being this sour, yet here she was. And she was indeed under the impression that she had those previous emotions under control. She pushed her demons away and offered the desk clerk a pleasant smile.After a few minutes had passed, she joined Jerome in waiting nearby while he inserted a room key into a door handle. The atmosphere was charged with awareness, which defied the iciness of his demeanor. They were both aware that they might have different opinions regarding the legal system, but there was one subject on which they were both fully in agreement: sexual activity. Something that was going to be very difficult to ignore in their studio apartment with one bed.When Jerome pushed open the door to the hotel room, he was as conscious of Anna's proximity as he was of the next breath he would take. Actually more conscious of things. The act of breathing occurred automatically. Every moment that he was in close proximity to Anna, he y

He clenched his jaw in frustration as his eyes unconsciously wandered once more to those squeezable little nipples. His cock throbbed with pleasure. He unleashed the mounting irritation he was feeling on her by lashing out at her verbally. "I don't plan to dispute your legal competence. It is up to me to find a way for us to get out of this situation alive. We're safe. We will not be in danger. And we will talk to the appropriate individuals in order to get the trial started. Why don't you just let me get on with it without scrutinizing my every action?Neither he nor she anticipated that the other would shrink in the face of his assault. The natural arch of her brows lowered ever so slightly for a fraction of a second, and then her face contorted into an angry frown as she jabbed her small palms at her voluptuous hips. She asked me in complete disbelief, "You didn't dispute my abilities?" You threatened to take matters into your own hands if I didn't do what you told me to do, which

But being grateful for anything at this moment in time. A hot shower and clean clothes of any kind seemed like heaven to him right about now.In addition to the racks, there were other tables with shirts and shorts laid out on them. Anna started by examining the contents, and then she chose a few things to take. Two shirts in an extra-large size for Jerome, two mediums for her, and two pairs of shorts with a pattern for her. She decided to get Jerome a pair of dark blue parachute shorts. His choices were severely restricted. It was either the ones with an orange flowery pattern or the ones with a dark blue background, both of which she could not picture him wearing.However, considering the personal attacks he made towards her, he was more than deserving of the neon flowers. She smiled as she hung up the blue shorts and reached for two pairs of the orange ones instead.When she heard someone ask next to her, "Souvenir shopping?," she was in the process of reaching for a pair of tennis

She made her way to the clothing racks with reluctance, secretly longing for something more substantial .She argued that he was only a child at the time. "One that you almost frightened the living hell out of.""You've been in the system long enough to have an understanding of the capabilities of criminals. Pedro is not superior to anyone or anything. He is willing to resort to any means necessary. Even if you have to pay a child to identify you, do it."Pedro was not with that child at any point."They were interrupted by the passage of a woman who sported dark hair and glasses. Jerome watched her with wary eyes as he warily appraised the situation with an expression on his face. Did he have information that she didn't have? As the flavor of terror deepened in her mouth, tension began to spread through her entire body.While Anna did so, Jerome was observing the woman.
