Friday night….........

“Boy Buffy, you look like you just crawled out of the grave!” Anya exclaimed.

“Thanks, Anya for that harshly blunt and extremely rude observation.” Buffy snapped.

Anya just shrugged and continued sipping her rum and coke.

“Buffy, you know I hate to admit it, and please mark this in the meeting’s minutes…..but I kinda have to agree with Anya.” Willow gently added.

“See, I told you. You look like shit!” Anya retorted.

“Now you’ve lost your comrade in arms.” Willow elaborated immediately.

“Well too late, your agreement is already noted and cannot be stricken from the record.” Anya jokingly huffed.

“Regardless of this once in a life time occasion, let’s focus on the concern at hand. Buffy is there something bothering you?” Willow asked her tiresome friend.

“It’s just this case I’m on. This rich bitch thrashed the hell out of some guy during sex and now the defense has made it look like the client was the victim and not the perp. They claim due to the defendant’s well-to-do upbringing and the victim’s less than stellar one, which, by the way, was text book for therapy later in life; Growing up in numerous foster homes, a drunken absentee dad and a mom who worked part time as a waitress when she wasn’t in rehab or gone for weeks on end with a new man. The defense has stated that the perp initially wanted and agreed to participate in adventurous sex, but that wasn’t enough for the victim. So they claim that he in turn forced this ‘impressionable young lady’ to participate in this ‘perversion’, their term not mine, of S & M. Unfortunately, if this gets in front of the jury, which I think the defense will push for. They’ll look at each person’s family history and with the perp being
a woman, the victim a man, they’ll probably conclude that there is no way this could happen. In addition, guys on the jury will think he’s a pussy for getting beat by a woman, not liking it and going to the cops about it. Like my mom used to say, “You can put a silk hat on a pig, but it is still a pig.” It’s the same ol’ same ol’ in our judicial system re-victimizing the victim.” Buffy huffed.

“Well that’s all well and good, but what is the real reason you look like hell? You’re trying to blow smoke up our ass and say it’s the case. What you should really be saying is that your issue is with who the defense on the case is. Hmm…..could it be the one and only William Eros?” Anya bluntly questioned.

“He’s the jerk that’s acting like the victim is a sex fiend and the perp is some bullied little school girl. In the recent discovery I received from his office there were volumes upon volumes of numerous references to sexual positions, tools of the trade and the like. He listed web sites, magazines, adult movies, fetish stores and anything else that involved the sex industry! There were pictures! Numerous colored print outs with long lengthy descriptions of what was taking place! He’s such perv and he’s being a sneak! He’s trying to rattle my cage or make me back down due to this case being based on sex and what one’s perception of what is kinky and what’s vanilla. He thinks that because I’m a woman that I should be all shy and blushing about this stuff! Well he has another thing coming because that tactic is not going to work! Ooooo……It just pisses me off. Like I’m some Pollyanna that blushes and drops to her knees to pray when
someone brings up sex!” Buffy fumed.

“Well, you do drop to your knees, but it’s not to pray.” Anya joked.

“Ha! Ha! Thank you Slutty Slut from Sluttonia. Anya you’re on your knees so much, people mistake your actual height!” Buffy laughed.


“TMI! We are referring to my childhood friend that would be involved in that equation. We watched Charlie Brown’s Christmas together and shared crayons. I so do not want to picture him naked thank you very much!” Willow teased.

“Ah, well now that’s the real reason you’re all in a huff. It’s that our well-spoken, probably extremely well versed sex-on-legs defense attorney has your lacy panties in a twist and that he’ll be in your life until the case is resolved. It could be years if it goes to trial.” Anya stated matter-of-factly.

Buffy dropped her forehead to the table with a ‘thump’. After a few beats she looked up and gazed at Willow.

“Damn. She’s good. She should really come to the DA’s office. We need her bluntness and no bullshit point of view.” Buffy sighed.

“That’s all well and good, but no. That’s not an option. Not enough money at the DA’s. Thanks for the job offer and stellar recommendation.” Anya commented.

“Now that’s settled let’s get back to my favorite topic, sex! So, Buffy. What’s wrong with a little bondage and a plethora of orgasms between friends? Maybe if you had some with Attorney Eros you wouldn’t be so stressed?” Anya truthfully noted.

Buffy rolled her eyes.

“Hey! I do believe in letting your ‘freak flag fly!’ Some fuzzy handcuffs, sexy lingerie a little leather a little lace maybe a toy of two. Whatever, I’m usually game. Even spanking a nicely shaped ass (a brief flash of Attorney Eros’ juicy peach popped into her head until she quickly blinked it away. Buffy licked her lips and continued) it’s all well and definitely of the good. It’s just this guy was whipped with a six foot bull whip so hard that one strike required stitches and all eight of them are going to leave permanent scars. He also lost some hair and skin on his manly bits due to the removal of strategically placed hot wax. Not to mention the burns he received. She used a candle with a paper core which burns the hottest. Totally not my idea of a good romp in the sack! I really don’t see anyone except someone as sexually deviant as the Marquis de Sade that would ask for someone to do this to them. S & M, despite what people think
is for mutual pleasure. A give and take activity, this was so not that. This is some rich bitch, control freak that enjoyed getting her rocks off by beating up this guy and tried to, and is still trying to get away with it!” Buffy declared.

“Looks like someone was reading at length the discovery she received. Let it fly Buffy, let it fly!” Laughed Anya.

Buffy blushed nine shades of red and started to laugh with her friends.

“Another toast. To sex!” Buffy cheered, lifting her drink.

“To sex!” Anya and Willow equally cheered as all three ladies clinked their drinks together.


DISCOVERY - Part of the pre-trial litigation process during which each party requests relevant information and documents from the other side in an attempt to "discover" pertinent facts. Generally discovery devices include depositions, interrogatories, requests for admissions, document production requests and requests for inspection.
