âI AM GOING to prove to you that this man is a bad man,â the assistant district attorney said as she pointed at the defense table.
Stone Michaelsen had the uneasy feeling that she was pointing at him rather than his client. But it wasnât as if he could object. He was a bad manâsometimes.
And right now, watching Hillary Bellows work the jury, he wanted to be very bad to her. She was so damn sexy in her sky-blue suit that perfectly matched her sky-blue eyes. The skirt fit tightly over her rounded ass, and the jacket didnât quite close over her full breasts, showing off her flesh-colored camisole. She had the rapt attention of every male juror and, since she was so earnest, most of the women as well. When she turned back toward the jury, her blond bob skimmed across her jaw. Her hair looked so silky that his fingers twitched to touch it, to touch her.
But as always, when he faced her in court, he had to resist the urge to act on this crazy attraction he had for her. Hillary Bellows was strictly off-limits. But even if she wasnât, she had made it abundantly clear that she didnât think much of him. He would really have to turn on the charm if he wanted to change her mind about him.
And, unlike his law partners, Stone was not a natural charmer. He was too blunt and outspoken to be ingratiating and flattering. So was Hillary.
She continued her opening statement. âI am going to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant murdered his young wife in a jealous rage. The defendantâs attorney, Stone Michaelsen, from the notorious Street Legal law practice, is going to try to trick you into exonerating his clientâbecause he and his partners will do anything to win.â
