Advocating for a handsome devil… :Starkissed Anyone that knows me wouldn’t miss noticing that I am always getting myself caught up in something.. i was not exactly cautious all the time and it really wasn’t any different after meeting Val . He was unlike any other client of mine… I had experienced plenty of career criminals before considering i was an assistant in the Defense Attorney’s office.. I don’t want this to be confusing.. I am not a lawyer.. I only accompany my boss’s employees on very important cases that require traveling, since I am usually the most prepared and the easiest to get in touch with on short notice they usually ask me to go along. Today i happen to be in Southwest Florida with my colleague Van, he’s the attorney that Valor Marino personally requested to represent him in his upcoming murder case.. since the prosecutor will be here as well for the meeting i have to be in the meeting as well.. it’s not exactly protocol and typically isn’t allowed.. but an exception was made by the warden for this particular occasion and I am very very nervous… Advocating for a handsome devil… :Starkissed Anyone that knows me wouldn’t miss noticing that I am always getting myself caught up in something.. i was not exactly cautious all the time and it really wasn’t any different after meeting Val .

Don’t worry about how it might look to anyone you being strong enough to walk away if you need to shows your strength.”Lucina-“Thank you.. i am really really nervous but it’s my first time doing this so I’m pretty sure it’s just performance anxiety and my uncertainty.”Warden-“Van and Lucina?“Yes”

Pov/Introduction Luci I knew there was something strange going on with my new boss and at the law firm but I would’ve never expected it to turn it out like it did! It was completely otherworldly! I knew stuff like this existed but I had never really had solid confirmation until I started working for Declan… He changed everything for me and honestly it was the best thing anyone could have ever given me… he gave me challenge, he gsve me structure.. security… he gsve me love and then he gave me bliss… he rewarded l me by giving me… my freedom… Pov/introduction DeclanI spent years building up appearance’s at the firm, ensuring that everyone possessed some kind of complimenting physical ability for the public and I tried like hell to make sure there were never any human’s working for me… but then I met Luci… she was the public image i was missing. She was sweet, devoted and charismatic and that’s what I needed, not to mention she had such a beautiful smile… it was perfect for all of the client’s we had frequenting the office and a subtle but noticeable difference to the idiots that couldn’t seem to act natural while working! My kind tends to forget that acting natural doesn’t mean freezing like a fucking statue and acting suspicious when a human comes in for legal advice… Luci was a marvelous addition and the only problem was keeping her safe and the fact that I had no idea how much she would mean to me… what I would do for her… what I was willing to sacrifice… how much I would truly love her… she became my strength and in turn i gave her protection… love without condition’s…. and my eternal devotion…
