The Greatest Lie Part 18

"I studied and worked with some lawyers where I went to school, in Minneapolis. They weren't greedy or sleazy." Professor Edelman and Brad Whitman had cared for me as a human, and had defended transsexuals' rights based on their principles.

"You are talking about some professors in Podunk. This is LA, show time, baby. If a case doesn't reward the lawyer in money, power or fame, then only the most incompetent or desperate lawyer will take it."

I was going to need lawyers to help me get custody of Alyssa, and to fight back against the slanders that the Thai police were smearing me with. "Not all lawyers are the same."

"Nor are all whores. Some bring something special to the bedroom. That's what all the reviews say about you."

"I don't know. I never read them."

"And some day, my dear, you will be as great in the courtroom as you are in the bedroom."

"Thank you." I put my hand on his forearm. "I may need a lawyer. Could you help me?"

"I can't afford myself. I doubt you can even if you plastered yourself all over Eros, which I don't advise. Immigration Detention facilities are pretty ugly places."

"I've retired from that life. What do you suppose I should do?"

"Maybe I can get my firm's my firm's pro bono department to take you on. We'll get a bright young associate to salve his social guilt in his copious spare time after he's billed his 2400 hours per year. I'll supervise."

"You've proved my point. Not all lawyers are driven purely by ambition and greed."

"Point taken. And it will be a good story for me to tell St. Peter, in case there really is a God and Heaven."

I leaned across the seat to gently kiss him, just barely grazing his cheek, but making sure my boob brushed against his forearm. He turned, and tried to return my kiss, but I shushed him.

His countenance had transformed from that of a predatory wolf to a timid Pekinese. From that moment, I possessed his desire. When our eyes met, I knew that he was mine. And, I knew, that after I had him for a night, I would possess him for as long as I needed him.
