The remark on his company had the lawyer chuckling, “Not the biggest...” He paused tipping his head as if to the consider the thought. “But certainly one of the best, well known, and expensive.” He flashed a smile at the thought like this was any sort of business transaction. “Well we are trying to build trust here, as lawyer and client, so I’m inclined to believe you. But what if whatever you were holding on to was going to hurt other people? A weapons to be later found at a crime scene? Or drugs used to keep trafficked girls in line? If it were so innocent would they really be paying you that amount of money?” It was almost a comedy to have Alan preach morals at anyone considering how he treaded the line of the ethics himself but he chose to think he simply had his own set of rules he chose to abide by.<br/><br/>“As far as a house to keep, maybe it’s time to consider a cheaper house.” He shrugged at that before moving on to the real question. Reading Evan’s body language like any good predator he could see the hesitation and internal struggle, the way he was weighing his options even as he knew that Alan’s form of payment might not be easy nor traditional. “I suspect you’re thinking about them right now with the way you averted your eyes.” His gaze was steady taking in every expression and small flicker for possible deception. “Did you like it?” Now he was fully curious and engaged, he wondered if Evan would tell him the truth or if he even knew that Alan had noticed his body responding and just how eager the dom had been play with it and keep building him up to take him apart. Yet you could only really take someone as far as they were willing to go and convince them it was the right road could be its own fun challenge. Alan was a sadist by nature and there were a lot of ways one could be sadistic without full of pain but the spanking had been something he had been itching to do since he met the perfectly mouthy boy. He wasn’t interested in having him be the perfect all obedient sub, that would ruin all the fun they were having.
