Chapter 23

• When the Lawyer saw the secretary with her pain kit, she flushed with sympathetic embarrassment for her. She was so exposed and raw in that moment. A lot like she felt sometimes. Like a few days ago when Maeson had touched her ... She was so ... raw ... so ... vulnerable.
• As Kimber reflected upon her similarities to Lee, Maeson was reflecting on his own similarities to Grey, only difference is, he didn’t take himself nearly as serious. But there was no denying his own craving for structure and control. Like Grey, he had a woman, a sister, he found captivating. Taking a break from feeding Kimber popcorn he traced the back of her neck, fingers lightly rubbing over her skin, the back of her ear, her collar bone. Then he followed her jawline to the edge of her lips leaving them to reach for another piece of popcorn that he held out for her.
• The scene made him reflect on what he was doing with Kimber. Kimber didn’t cut on herself or anything, but she seemed to take to his control naturally, easily and without question.
