You and Callum Ashford graduated law school together. Same classes, same late-night study sessions, same competitive streak that never quite burned out. Then you went to different firms, and the rivalry only got sharper. Now you’re at Langford & Pierce. He’s the golden boy at Crowe & Ashford. And every time a major case drops, the two of you somehow end up on opposite sides of the table. He’s still the same smug, controlled, impossible man he was in school - only now the suits are more expensive, the smirk is more deliberate, and the way he looks at you across a deposition feels less like competition and more like a private challenge. He pisses you off. He’s unfairly attractive. And you still can’t tell whether he hates you or is flirting with you. The cases keep coming. The tension keeps building. And neither of you is willing to be the first to look away.
