โThat bad, huh?โ said Timothy as his brow went up."Yup. I got really sick of it too so I just visit them separately. There was nothing I could do so I just stopped trying. I'm not sure how, but I guess somehow along the line they just stopped loving each other and that gave way to hate. I mean, they were never the lovey dovey kind of couple but things just seemed to get worse. Makes me wonder what's the point of all this anyways""Point of what?"She shrugged. "You know... Meeting someone... Falling in love... Getting married... Having kids... Only to end up hating each other and getting separated. Is it really worth all the trouble?"There was a pause, then Timothy said, "You know it's not that way for all couples. Some marriages are still working out. Like mom and dad... Sometimes I wonder how they do it. They have been together for years and still going strong. They might have had their bad times, but they are still very much in love with each other, and that's the kind of relatio

Evan's hands dropped to his sides and he simply stood, watching her. She was wearing a red silk nightgown and she looked spectacular in it. She had removed her ponytail and now her thick Blond hair brushed her shoulders as she moved deeper into the room. She frowned and stopped walking when she saw the look on his face. โIs something wrong?โ she asked.Evan shook his head. โNo, No, Nothing is wrongโฆHoney. Iโm justโฆ.You look so fucking beautifulโฆ and I love that night wear " Christina beamed at him, flashing him a smile that he hadn't seen for so damn longโฆ and oh, how much he'd missed it. She came to stand in front of him and began to undo the shirt buttons he had abandoned. As she did, she made sure she grazed his skin with the tip of his fingers, making shivers run through him as his dick hardened. "I'm glad you like it," she said in a low voice.

The days went by, Chloe and Timothy approached the whole โgetting to know each other moreโ agreement a trifle self-consciously. At least, that was how she felt about their initial dates, dates to dinner or the movies or a quiet evening at the beach house.Granted, once they were together for a short time, the awkwardness vanished. In its place passion exploded, a passion they struggled to contain. She wished she could say nothing more than sheer lust existed between them, but that would be a lie, Chloe conceded. The truth was, she liked Timothyโฆ. A lot. She enjoyed his intellect, and his observations about life. She found his work fascinating, and she admired the way he loved and put family first. Timothy also possessed a calmness she appreciated and a way of taking control of a situation by smoothing over any rough edges. As much as she would have loved to make love to him, Timothy had insisted that they put that on hold. He didn't want her to think that what they had was just phys

Chloe nodded and lowered her gaze. "You didn't seem so happy to see me," she said. "When I first came, you seemed so upset.โ"I was" His brutal honesty made her lift her eyes up to his again, but before she could speak he continued. "I was surprised at firstโฆ then pissed because you were so calm and collected and I wasn'tโฆ despite the fact that I was the one who pushed you away. And yet you were not bothered" Chloe gave a small smile. "You wanted me to be bothered?" He scratched his head and smiled at her. "Well, a little bit," he replied. "Not only did you look so fucking beautiful, but then you came back with that amazing pitch. I won't lie to you, a part of me was looking for a reason not to give you the account, because I didn't want us working together, but you were so brilliant, you did great and also handed us Bryce Collins. You were so focused, and I could barely control my emotionsโฆThat's something that almost never happens. My point is, you're awesome. How could anyone not

The night was quiet and heavy, a change was expected tomorrow that would liven things up weather-wise. But, for now, the warm night air was eerily silent as Timothy stretched his legs outside under the moon before heading upstairs. He heard it then, no more than a burble, a swish of water and the hint of a sigh that had him turning rock-hard even before he turned towards the pool.Surely not?He heard a wet slap and saw Chloe in the pool, her bare arms pearlescent under the light of the moon, and fantasy collided with reality. And he didnโt care that heโd decided it would be better to take things slow. He didn't even know how he'd managed to stay for days without making love to her. He didnโt care because there was no way he could turn away. Because, he thought, as the top button came undone, and the next followed, this wasnโt taking things too fast or slow. This was about wanting her.Pure unadulterated need. And it was killing him.Chloe heard his footsteps before the husky, deep, "

Evan Reese opened the front door of his house and headed straight to the kitchen. His wife, Christina stood at a table, frosting a cake. She looked up in surprise to see her husband and dropped the piping bag. "You are back, " she said. "Is something wrong? Did you forget something?" Evan shook his head. "Noโฆ I meanโฆ yes." He scratched his head and then buried his face in his hands and sighed deeply, which made Christina even more concerned. She immediately washed her hands in the sink and came towards him, but when she reached out to touch him, he pulled away. "Please don't. Not right now please." said Evan. He was afraid that if he let her touch him, he would change his mind about doing the right thing. He wanted to keep his marriage, but he knew that secrets like this were of no use. They usually ended up coming to light, and he feared that the damage it might cause would be even worse. It was best to rip out the bad aid and face the consequences of his actions. "Tina, there's s

Chloe and Timothy returned from their trip as a couple, but he had to go back to his home and so did she. After a Sunday of fielding curious questions from Bryce and his brothers about where she had been the past week, Chloe was relieved to go into work on Monday. She wasnโt ready to admit to them that she and Timothy were anything more than business associates. She loved them for their undying loyalty and their absolute faith in her. But for some reason she was reluctant to confess to a relationship with Timothy.She was late, thanks to a traffic snarl that lasted an entire hour and an already late start from her apartment. By the time she made it off the elevator, it was closing in on noon, and her mood was in the toilet.When she saw Caroline, she knew something was wrong.

He pressed a finger to her lips. โShh. I donโt want to hear that word cross your lips. Itโs me who is sorry. I was an ass. I said despicable things to you.โHer eyes widened, and she felt the ridiculous urge to cry again, as if she hadnโt done enough of that in the last few days.โFirst, I want to talk about this,โ he said as he drew out the dreaded newspaper clipping from his pocket. She froze, her stomach seizing with dread.โDonโt look like that. I donโt believe a word of it. But itโs obviously an important part of your past. It hurt you and itโs affected a good portion of our relationship. I want you to tell me what really happened.โHer lips trembled and she twisted her hands nervously in her lap. โI got out of college, intending to rule the world. I loved itโฆI loved my job.

It was written in the guise of an article announcing the deal brokered between Packard Enterprises and Golden Gates promotions. It detailed her job history, colorful as it was, to the present and hinted broadly about there being a relationship between her and Timothy. Nothing was left to the imagination. Everything sheโd worked so hard to overcome had been splashed in excruciating detail.She should be angry. Furious even. But what she felt wasโฆ..resignation.She looked up into the worried eyes of Bryce as the realization hit her. It would always be something. Timothy was right to be angry that sheโd placed more importance on what others thought of her than she did what he thought of her. As long as the people she loved knew the truth, it shouldnโt matter what some stranger thought. Evan believed in her and her abilities. She had the backing of her agency. She had people who loved her unconditionally. Timothy evidently didnโt care who knew they were involved, so why should she?For th

Love was such a messy emotion. It was bound to be inconvenient. You sure couldnโt put it on a schedule and love never played by the rules. He liked rules. And schedules.. Ah, hell, he was absolutely in love with her.It was why he was sitting here in such a terrible mood that his usually easygoing office staff wouldnโt come near him for fear of being decapitated.He looked again at the article, and his chest utterly caved in. Chloe. God, heโd been such an idiot. A complete and utter, madly-in-love moron. Heโd reacted just like a petulant child, furious that his favorite toy was being taken away. In this case, Chloe had wanted to put their relationship on hold and all he could see was that she was pushing him away, and sacred that she'd leave him again, he had panicked.

She sighed. โIโm in love with him. And now he hates me.โAll four menโs mouths rounded into Os. There was marked silence, and she regretted having blurted out that fact. Love was girly stuff, and none of the men looked like they had a clue what to say or do next.โLook, I appreciate you guys. I love you all to pieces. I donโt know what I would do without you. I donโt expect you to fix this for me. Iโm not a little girl anymore. Iโll figure out something. I just needed a place to lick my wounds and regroup.โPeter frowned. โNow, you wait just one damn minute. Youโre family, Chloe.

Bryce merely squeezed her hand and told her bluntly to shut up.โYou can always come to us when you need us and we'll be here for you,โ Darell said in his soft, gravelly voice. โThat doesn't and will never change.

"Maybe you didโฆ or maybe not," Chloe replied. "I think I did the same with Timothy, and I understand how you feel. But you and Tina are soul mates. You have been married for years.

There was a wary look in his eye that warned her this wouldnโt be easy. But then he didnโt give a damn about what people thought. He wasnโt ruled by the opinions of others. As she had so many times before, she wished she could be like him. Instead of answering him, she rummaged in her bag for the stupid gossip rag and then she thrust it at him as if it was self-explanatory. And it was in a way. He glanced over the paper and then looked back up at her. โSo? Whatโs the problem?โ he asked. She knew heโd react that way. Positively knew it, and it drove her crazy. She wanted to scream and rail at him, but sheโd come across as some hysterical banshee, and then heโd never take her concerns seriously.โThatโs not all,โ she said stiffly. โItโs all over the Internet.
