last update Last Updated: 2021-08-24 00:01:48

Chloe woke up still in her robe in the middle of the night escaping yet another nightmare. This one was fading quickly thankfully. All she could remember of it were remnants of the person at the bar, black roses everywhere and blood, lots of blood. She went to get up and noticed that Liam was next to her sprawled out in his boxer briefs looking gorgeous fast asleep. 

So it was him I felt, she thought, remembering that feeling just before she had fallen asleep and was somewhat relieved. She got up and went to get a bottle of water. She drank half of it and set the rest on the nightstand.

"Hey," Liam said groggily as she got back in bed. "Are you feeling better?"

"Yeah, thanks to you." She had recalled the events before she'd gone to slee

Liam told the security officer who just nodded at him and went back to being bored.Chloe shuddered as they entered the office and noticed the window had not been replaced yet. Standing at the far end of the office she darted her eyes around the room not being much help."So they were here?" Liam asked, pointing to the desk."Yes. He had Heather bent over the desk there, and I was, here." She said moving slightly at the door to the office. "He saw me when he reached across to the other side of the desk."

    Chloe reached out all of two inches since there really wasn't much space between her and Liam and pressed her hand to his rock hard abs. Looking him in the eye, she saw something flicker deep in those liquid golden eyes that never ceased to capture her.She slid her hand down to the edge of his shirt and slipped her hand under to feel the warm bare skin of his solid abs. He moaned at her touch as she slid her hand up his abs following a little trail of hair. It led her to a patch spread across his toned chest, and her finger brushed over his nipple.Liam sucked in a breath and moved in closer pressing his warmth into Chloe and pushing her against the bed. She stumbled and fell back onto it, and he followed her gracefully.His thigh went between her legs, and his mouth found a soft spot on her neck that t

    Chloe woke up Friday morning and snuggled into Liam's chest. He had spent each night with her, exhausting her until she fell into a deep sleep. She still had nightmares, but when she woke up with him beside her, they quickly faded. She dragged a lazy finger through his chest hair, and he groaned then blinked down at her."Morning, Luv." His low voice vibrated into her all the way down to her exposed pussy."Morning." She responded as he stretched away from her to the nightstand and checked his phone."I've got about forty-five minutes before I need to check in." He said to her. "And you've got an hour. That gives us plenty of time for morning fun.""Ahhh." She replied as he pushed her back and gripped he

She asked then walked past him to where her coat was waiting, and he was able to see her back with the thick leather strap that crossed from her shoulder to the middle of her opposite side with the rest of her back open and bare. She heard him clear his throat, and she slid her coat on then headed to the elevator.The studio was near Willows Creek where Chloe had gone to the spa. It was a very elegant modern room that was brightly lit with a white metal staircase in the back and industrial double doors next to the stairs. The stairs led to a small loft area that was over the doors and whatever was beyond them. The loft had a small sitting area all in white.The room was complete

    Chloe woke up the next morning with Kyle's arm draped across her. He was facing her on his belly and was sound asleep in his satin pajama bottoms with no shirt. He had worked late into the hours doing something in the studio. She had no idea when he came to bed because she had long since cuddled under the blankets and fell fast asleep. She woke up once with a nightmare, and he was still working in the other room.She slid out from under his arm and went to take a quick shower in his wonderful Amazon-like bathroom, mostly just because she loved his shower. On Sundays she usually took her shower after yoga. She finished blowing her hair dry and sorted through her overnight bag for her yoga clothes she pulled on a pair of yoga pants, a sports bra and an oversized sweatshirt then gathered her stuff together."Kyle." She said cautiously, an

"I'm sorry I didn't let you know where I was if you were worried but I was out at an event I had committed to go to. I didn't think I had to tell you where I would be every second of the day.""But you didn't come home," Liam growled stepping in closer, and she took a step backward. "You were out all night with another man, gay or not.""It was late." She whispered as he continued advancing and she continued retreating."I was worried, not able to call. I didn't know where you were. Who you were with, if you were hurt, God forbid watching another death, or joining in on an insurance threesome.""You'd be the first to know if there was an

    When Chloe woke up the next morning Liam was gone, and so were the handcuffs. She pulled herself together, took a shower, got dressed in one of the few outfits she had left out then grabbed her phone off the charger now fully charged and left for work. She texted Kendra telling her she'd call during lunch then she told Michael not to let anyone in her office where she held herself up and spent the whole first half of the day reorganizing all of Jane's files since the whole system was a mess."Don't let Jane touch these. Ever. Assign her work and have her turn them back in for you to file. It may seem a bit much, but in the long run, it's better this way." She said to Michael when she finished then she headed to her car for lunch. She sat in her car nibbling on a granola bar from the vending machine as she waited for her best friend to pick up the phone.

    "Busy?" He asked and stepped past her into the room. He seemed entirely normal as though nothing had happened last night. He was wearing dark blue slacks with a blue sports jacket, a button up black shirt with the top buttons open and he had on a wool trench with shiny black derbies."Um, just finished actually." She said, and her chest began to feel tight."Hungry?""Huh? Um, yeah kind of." She blinked at him then shook her head a bit as her breathing became shallow. She needed to get ahold of herself."Get dressed I'll wait." He told her then took a comfortable seat on the couch and pulled out his phone to kill the time she guessed. She walked down the hall and grabbed one of her work dresses. It was a black

    "Maybe we can help distract each other," Jackson suggested. "Mmm." She moaned as he kissed her again, closed the door without leaving and carried her to bed. Chloe thought at long last something good would come of all this turmoil she had been through. She was tired of all the craziness and just wanted to have a night where she didn’t have to think about her dead husband, or neighbors, or the neighbors brother stalking her and running her down. “Aaahh..” Jax had somehow already stripped Chloe down to her bra and panties and had been squeezing her breasts like two stress balls before he pinched her nipples hard. “Can I?” Jax suddenly stopped and asked in a hoarse voice if he could take her bra off. Why now was he asking? He hadn’t asked about anything else.

The curtains were pulled back and framed the bed on either side.There was a small seating area past the bed but Meredith was more concerned with the bed in front of her. She sighed a sigh of relief and as she went around to the other side of the bed as she left Brayden’s side their hands drifted apart.Meredith sat on the bed then turned to Brayden and he nodded.

She was focusing on imagining her future when she heard someone clear their throat. “Uh, excuse me do you mind?” She looked up and saw a tall, lanky man with short shaggy curly brown hair.

    Chloe woke up, she was in a family room of a split level house. She recognized it almost immediately as Veronica Moulton's. It was the house Veronica lived in with her mother, Gerri before they both got married and moved out. Gerri had gotten married and moved an hour out of town and left her house to Veronica. Later Veronica married Nicki and moved around the corner from Chloe. Chloe had never thought to ask what had happened to the house and Veronica never mentioned it, but here it was exactly as she remembered it. The furniture was the same though a bit dingier and the carpeting, wall fixtures, everything was as it had been when Veronica lived here. It didn't make sense to Chloe. Surely they would have taken their things with them and whoever the new owners were wouldn't want pictures of Veronica and her mother on the walls. Chloe blinked and noticed

She was still wearing her necklace, but her t-shirt and panties had been removed. She was getting dizzy and almost out of breath when she was released from the kiss."You went to bed without me," Liam whispered in her ear. "And you were dressed.""I…" Liam was nibbling her earlobe, and she felt him hot between her legs. "I tried to wait up.""I want you," Liam said and was sucking on her breast teasing her nipple as he engulfed her. When he let go, he finished his sentence, "to feel what I feel.""Ah." She opened her legs to him as he
