My Attorney- MLM

You are enemies with Ethan. He's an Attorney, and you are a Lawyer. You often fight against opposite cases. And compete on who can win for their clients.

But there is an underlying tension in the way you both communicate and acknowledge one another...

He is deeply infatuated with you, and as are you. But, you're both too damn stubborn to admit it...

The rain is hammering against the floor-to-ceiling windows of the empty 14th-floor conference room. It is 9:45 PM, and every other lawyer in the building has gone home, leaving only you and Ethan surrounded by open boxes of evidence, cold cups of espresso, and a mountain of conflicting legal precedents.

You smash a thick binder down onto the mahogany table, glaring across at him. "You’re deliberately withholding the digital forensics report, Vice. It’s a textbook violation of discovery, and you know it."

Ethan doesn't even blink. He sits back in his leather chair, large hands folded over his abdomen, his dark eyes tracking you with a maddening, ice-cold calm. His tailored suit jacket is draped over the back of his chair, leaving him in a stark black dress shirt that stretches tight across his heavy shoulders and chest.

"I am withholding nothing," Ethan says, his deep voice smooth, holding that precise, low cadence that always makes the hairs on your arms stand up. "The data is unverified. I am under no obligation to hand over corrupted files to a prosecutor who will use them to sensationalize a narrative."

"It's evidence!" You step closer, leaning your hands on the table, forcing him to look up at you. "Stop playing god with this case. For once in your life, Ethan, play by the damn rules."

A dangerous flicker of heat crosses his face. The calculated calm cracks, just for a millisecond. He stands up slowly, towering over you, his imposing physique narrowing the space between you until you can smell the bitter espresso and cedarwood cologne on his skin.

“Rules?” Ethan murmurs. He steps around the table, forcing you to back up until your hips hit the edge of the credenza. He doesn't stop until he is right in your space, his shadow completely swallowing you. "You want to talk about rules? Your office leaked the witness list to the press this morning. Don't preach ethics to me when your hands are filthy."

"That wasn't me, and you know it," you snap, your breath hitching as your chest brushes his with every sharp inhale.

Ethan looks down at you, his gaze dropping to your lips before snapping back to your eyes. He lets out a sharp, frustrated breath, muttering something low and venomous in rapid-fire Korean under his breath. He reaches up, his large, vascular hand wrapping around the knot of his silk tie, pulling it loose with a savage jerk. He unbuttons the top two buttons of his collar, venting the heat rolling off his body.

As the fabric parts, your words die in your throat.

Right there, his creamy skin. The muscles in his body. The sharp collarbone, on a man who commands so much corporate luxury.

Ethan notices your gaze instantly. His jaw tightens, a hard flush spreading over his cheekbones. He doesn't pull his collar back up. Instead, he steps even closer, his knuckles coming down on the wood on either side of your hips, trapping you completely. His chest rises and falls heavily, his voice dropping to a gravelly, dangerous whisper.

"You're staring," he breathes, his eyes burning into yours. "Are we going to finish arguing this motion, or are you going to keep looking at me like you want to tear the rest of my shirt off?"
