Can't Pull Away, The Attraction Is Too Strong

"Are you ready for today's training, baby?" Luke asked after she entered the gym and saw that he was already there running on the treadmill.

He turned the machine off and got off it coming to stand in front of her at the exercise area of the gym. He was wearing sweats and a top that hugged his torso showing off his abs and broad shoulders. She thought he looked mouth watering as his handsome face looked at her.

"Yes, coach Luke. How did you sleep last night?" She asked forgetting that last night was when he had walked in on her in a towel, but after seeing his eyes heating up as he stared at her, she remembered just what happened last night.

"I slept terribly because I kept thinking about you." He murmured as he stepped closer to her.

"I'm sorry, but I also kept thinking about you."

"Today, I'm going to teach you how to fight off a person that's up close and tomorrow, I'll start teaching you Judo." She nodded and he laid down on the mat and gestured her forward, "Climb on top of me."

"What?"

"I'm going to teach you how to get the upper hand when someone attacks you and lay on top of you."

She straddled him while he was laying under her looking up at her. "Now what?"

He strapped his left foot around her right foot, and flipped her around making her to be under him and him on top of her straddling her.

"Whoa, how did you do that so fast?" He smiled at her amazement.

"What you need to do to fight off your attacker when he gets this close is to strap one of your feet around his and flip, that would make you be on top of him, so you can hit him and run." He explained as he took her foot and wrapped it around his.

"Flip." She flipped and came out on top of him while they both of them breathed heavily. His gaze fell to her lips as hers fell to his, and she felt her head moving down closer to him while his head raised up from the floor moving up closer to her.

"Mr. Walters, Mr. Stark is on the phone-" Vince cut off what he was saying when he saw their compromising position.

Freya raised up quickly feeling her face heating up, Luke glanced at Vince and nodded then brought his gaze back to her standing up.

"I'll have to take this call, baby. We'll continue this later." She felt that he wasn't only referring to the training, but to their almost kiss too.

Freya's phone started ringing from beside her as she was sitting on the couch with Luke's head in her lap while they watched a comedy show, 'Would I Lie To You?'

She was running her hands through his hair, playing with it while watching when the phone rang. She removed her hands from his hair and picked up the phone.

Luke raised his head and sat up on the couch when he felt her remove her hands. "Hello?"

"Freya..." A rough voice came through the phone that sounded like Dr. David's.

"Who is this? I don't have this number." She asked looking confused as her brows furrowed while Luke studied her listening in on the phone conversation.

"It's Dr. Sam David, I want you to come meet me at my house."

"What? Why would I do that, Dr. David?" She asked in disbelief that he had the nerve to call her and tell her to meet him. "Leave me alone." She hung up and let out a sigh.

"When did Dr. David start calling you? What does he want?" Luke asked looking worried.

"He wants me to go to his house and meet him."

"No way."

"I know, and he keeps disturbing me and following me. He even cornered me in our firm's parking lot last week demanding I go with him."

"He cornered you, and you didn't tell me? I'm going to have one of my body guards go out with you whenever I'm not with you. If he can corner you in a public place then what would he do if he finds you alone?"

"Luke, don't worry. I'll be fine, he can't do anything to me in public, I don't need a guard."

"No, Freya. What if he gets you alone? I can't stand even thinking of what would happen if he does." He said as he raised his hand to her cheek and caressed her face, his eyes filled with concern.

"Fine, I'll take a guard when you're not around." She placed her hand on top of his that was on her cheek and intertwined their fingers bringing them to her lap.

"Good." He breathed as she smiled at him.

Her phone started ringing again and she saw Salma's name on the screen. "Hey."

"Hi, Freya. How are you and Luke? You two getting closer there, just the two of you in that big mansion?" Salma teased over the phone like she knew what happened between them last night and this morning.

"Oh, Salma, stop with the teasing. What was it you wanted to say?" She glanced at Luke who has returned his attention to the TV.

"I found out who is backing Clara in the government, it's a governor and she's sleeping with him. Not just that, he's a married man." Freya placed the phone on speaker so that Luke will also hear the information.

"Wow, how did you get that information. I heard it's hard to find."

"Well, I have my ways, meaning my husband is a private investigator." Luke turned his attention to Freya and Salma's conversation after realizing the phone was on speaker.

"We have some dirt on Clara now since she's sleeping with a married governor, but it's still not enough and we also need strong evidence of Dr. David, but since they realized I broke into his house, he has made people guard it, and then after I called the police, it seems like they would take more precautions to hide what he's doing."

"You're right, I recently spoke with Mr. Othman and he said that he hasn't heard the screams coming from Dr. David's house since the date you told me he attacked you."

"That means he has stopped operating on the victims in his home because he thinks I might be able to break in again and get evidence?" Freya's brows furrowed as she felt disappointed that their shot of getting evidence against him was taken away.

She had wanted to get the detective's help to disguise himself as one of the people guarding Dr. David's house so that he can go in and get some evidence of the kidnapped and tortured people, but now, it was impossible because Dr. David has stopped bringing his victims home.

"Yeah, that's it. Don't feel down, we'll be able to find his new operating location and still get evidence against him."

"Alright, thank you for your help, Salma."

"Alright, good night."

"I'm sure George can dig up the governor's name and why he's backing her apart from her sleeping with him." Luke said after she finished the call.

"Hello?" Freya answered as she scrolled through a file on her computer while she was sitting at her cubicle at work.

"Hey, this is Mathew Sanders." She felt surprised at the call and she paused what she was doing.

"Mathew, what made you call me?"

"Freya, I haven't been honest with you. It was me that bribed the detective to fake the evidence and the forensic too. I just had to come clean because she wants me to take the fall and be sent to prison in her place, and well, because of Cathy."

She expected this because both the forensic and detective said that Mathew bribed them. "I'm glad you came clean, it's the right thing to do, and who is the she you're talking about?"

"It's Nora Thorn."

She felt shocked as she gasped, "What?"

"Yes, I know you were her defense attorney. She planned everything so that no one would suspect her and she knew that you are such a good lawyer, so the judge and everyone will be more likely to listen to you and believe you."

"Oh my God, does her daughter, Percy know she killed her dad?"

"No, no one knows except me and her."

"We need to launch a new case against her with the real video footage as evidence, and you with the detective and forensic as witnesses against her. Can you get the real video?"

"Yes, I can and I can appear in court as a witness against her too."

"That's great, send the evidence to me, and I'll open up a case against her."

"Alright." He hung up, and Freya kept her phone back in her silver handbag that was on top of the table. She stood up from her cubicle and went to Gwen's cubicle where she was on her computer.

"Gwen, I've found out Nathan Brady's real murderer."
