Angel's Fantasy: A Box Set Of Greatest Romance Hits by Alexis Angel, Abby Angel, Dark Angel (128)

Jacqueline

After we're done in court, and after a really crazy day, I'm with my guys and my team, celebrating the end of our first day in court. We're at a trendy bar not far from the courthouse, but it's definitely a step up from the dive bar I was in the other night with Xavier. It feels so good to release everything that happened in court.

I see Xavier walk in and I feel like I should go over to him and say hi. I want to go over there and congratulate him. He really gave us a run for our money. He's super good at his job and I kinda wish he was on our side instead of the opposing one. One thing is for sure though. We have the truth on our side and that's more important than anything else. While Xavier's arguments might've been good, and Damian acted like a total freak in court, Xavier has to know that he doesn't understand Damian like we do. Whether he's got a bad reputation or not, it doesn't matter when it comes to his innocence. Xavier is fighting to put an innocent man in jail, and we just have to win this case.

"Hey Xavier," I kiss his cheek in greeting.

"Wow, you did so well today. I just wanted to tell you I was blown away by your opening argument. It was so good."

"Thanks, Jacqueline, I'm glad you're prepared to lose this thing," he quips.

"Hey, I said you were good, but that doesn't mean you're right."

"Oh yeah, you plan on proving that?"

"Most definitely."

It's kind of fun to have this competition between us. If there's someone to oppose it might as well be Xavier because it's creating a sexual tension between us that is palpable. I'm feeling attracted to him just by thinking of us being on opposing sides.

"Hey, you guys did really good too," he says. "I wasn't expecting such a tough day in court. I thought we had this in the bag. You have a good team there."

"Thanks, Xavier, I mean that." Being around him puts me at ease and it makes me feel so comfortable.

"So, are you out celebrating after the first day?"

"Yeah, I am."

"Well, I'd love to take you back to my place to help release all your tension from the tough fight in court we just had."

He's looking into my eyes and turning me on as I recognize what he means by release.

I would love to go back with him but I'm here with Jason and Marcus and I can't just leave them hanging by going home with some other guy, especially the opposing counsel.

"Hey, I'm here with my team, why don't you come meet them and have a drink first? It'll be fun."

I take his hand and lead him across the bar to our table. "Everyone, this is Xavier, he's not our friend," I joke.

"Hey man, I'm Jason. Nice opener in there. You did really good."

Xavier seems genuinely pleased by the compliment. "Thanks, I appreciate that. You were not bad yourself."

"And Xavier, this is Marcus, our newest recruit, but he's got a stunning track record."

"Hi," Marcus says with a smile. I’m glad we can all be congenial, like adults and professionals, and not act like a bunch of fucking babies like some lawyers do.

"Nice to see you again," Xavier says.

"What? You guys have already met?" I ask, looking between them, surprised.

"Yeah, we've been in the courtroom together before and we've seen each other around town," Marcus says.

"You mean I've beat you in the courtroom before," Xavier shoots back.

"Ha, only because the evidence was working against me. You can't deny what you had that time. There was no way I could win that case," Marcus says, raising his glass.

"Well, you gave us a good fight," Xavier says, raising his hands up and widening his eyes. "Can’t deny that."

"Thanks, man. Come in, sit down and join us for a drink," Marcus says.

"What shall we have?" Jason asks.

"Something strong to unwind," I say.

"I know just that thing." Marcus gets up and goes to order at the bar. He comes back with a tray of Jaegermeister shots.

"Geez Marcus, I haven't had one of these since college. Remember that Xavier? Remember that night we did do many Jaeger bombs and we wandered around town, but we both got really sick in the morning?"

He laughs, "How could I forget? That night was epic, but it was also my last night having Jaeger."

"Yeah, Marcus, I'm not sure I can stomach this," I say.

"Oh come on you guys, suck it up, we can do this. It'll take the edge right off."

"Okay, to winning in court!"

"To winning in court!"

We're each cheering for our own side as we clink glasses and down the heavy, dark liquid. I like to think of it as evil cough syrup, and I know it can get the job done. It puts me more at ease and I'm feeling good, like this going to be a great night.

We talk and have another round before Jason makes an interesting proposal.

"We're all here for Jacqueline right? We all want to take her home..."

I blush, feeling my face heating up to what must be a bright red now. So what I was going to call this unspoken thing? Well, not so unspoken, now, is it.

"But we can't all have what we want if we don't share. So, now that we've gotten to know each other a little bit, why don't we head upstairs in this hotel and get a room? It will make things more interesting."

Fuck. The idea of having all three of them at once catches me off guard but I'm ready to go if they are. After all my recent sexual escapades, this one by far will be the best. I won’t have to choose anything...not even how many orgasms I’ll have.

Jason takes my hand pulls me out of the booth while the other guys smile at each other and follow. I know I’m in for a wild ride, and I can hardly begin to imagine what’s in store for me. I’m going to get to know each of these guys intimately, and hopefully they'll all be adoring the process. It’s nights like these that make life worth living, like can you believe how righteously fucked, in the best way possible, I’m about to be? I follow Jason out of the bar, and the other guys are trailing behind. The idea of what we’re about to do is so crazy...but it’s also so very perfect.
