"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

    ** Author's Note: Unfortunately I had technical difficulties (my computer died and I had to buy a new one.) I have been playing catch up wiht multiple projects. I am excited to be able to continue Chloe's journey and hope I didn't leave you waiting too long. I will do my best to make up for the missed time. Thank you for your support. (^v^) **Chloe left work tired from organizing Francis's files and saw a car across the street. She did a double take to see if Marilyn was behind the wheel and when she was able to make out a male figure she dismissed it and drove out of the parking lot. She was headed to get more paint and had decided to look for a light blue color for the bathroom. She had the feeling that someone was following her and so she changed lanes and took a long detour to the store. She pulled into a spot and gathered her purse, keys, and phone and as soon as she stepped out of her

    ** A Bonus Chapter for your amazing patience. (^v^) **As Chloe turned out of the parking lot leaving work she felt someone watching her and glanced across the street to see the girl or guy, she still couldn't tell which, from the bar parking lot watching her as she drove by. She was very creeped out but decided it was just another one of her fans who liked to stare, point, and whisper whatever the newest rumor was about her.She had just finished changing when Liam knocked, then came in. He had brought Chinese take-out and was in the kitchen dishing it up when she found him. She took a seat at the kitchen bar and just watched him move about her kitchen. She wanted to ask him about Sunday night, but she didn't know how."Are you into BDSM?" She asked suddenly, and he froze for a brief moment then conti

    "Mmm." Chloe moaned and blinked at him, so worn out from not being able to sleep. But on the brighter side, she thought. At least I wasn't asleep long enough to have a nightmare. "Morning, Luv." Liam got out of bed, and she watched his sexy ass flexing as he headed to the bathroom to begin their morning routine. Chloe had a hard time focusing at work and felt as though everyone had gotten an annoy-the-fuck-out-of-Chloe-Harris memo but made sure it didn't get passed to her. Even Michael seemed uncharacteristically needy today. She got a call on her cell and answered it. "Stay away from-" She heard that weird distorted voice that had called her before. "I don't have time for your shit today!" She interru

Between her being on edge trying to stay out his way and on edge trying to get in Liam's way and her nightmares popping up whenever she was finally able to doze off, she wasn't getting much sleep and thought she might be seeing things.She could have sworn the person from the bar was following her.

    Chloe had slept very well in Liam's arms but woke up alone. He was gone on his way to Chicago, and she would be without him for a whole week. She found her package from Kyle that had her calendar in it on the kitchen counter and wondered when she had put it there. She ignored it, grabbing a drink of water then got washed and dressed in her yoga gear and headed out the door just as Kat pulled up. She stumbled over some black roses and did a double take. They weren't in a vase this time, and there was no card they were just scattered all over her doorstep and along the sidewalk leading to her door. She shook her head and decided to ignore them. "Hey, Chloe!" Kat greeted as Chloe hopped into her car and they headed out of town toward the yoga studio. "You look really good today. Kinda like you slept on a cloud."

    Chloe came to once again with smelling salts. She was starting to get used to the burning pinching feeling it left in her nose. She looked up into familiar flat stone gray eyes. "Are you okay? Can you tell me your name?" Josh asked her. "Hello, Josh. Mrs. Chloe Ellen Harris, I'd prefer not to give my age, but you already know it pretty well at this point." Chloe told him groggily. "Mrs. Harris, how do you feel?" Josh asked, flashing a light across her eyes and evaluating her well being. "I could be better, but I'll be okay." Chloe looked across the parking lot to where the Lovey-dovey's had been flung. "How are they?" "Could be better but I hope t

    "Give her a call then put her in holding cell three." Detective Porter said with a sigh, still rubbing away whatever was eating at him with his eyes closed. Detective Brownstone nodded at Chloe and took her down the hall around the corner and sat her at a desk. Chloe recognized it as Brownstone's desk, having sat there before. Brownstone released the cuffs and nodded at the phone. Chloe went to reach for the phone then paused. While she was upset about Porter's nonsense, it was still bothering her that Monroe had actually hit someone this time."Um, I have a… a concern." Chloe started then looked up at Brownstone. She looked around the room quickly noting a couple of guys hovering over donuts and another random guy clearly sleeping with his head tilted back at a desk in the corner."No one's listening." Brownstone assured her.

    Chloe woke up in a pair of Kyle's satin pajama bottoms with a matching top folded into a cloud-like king sized bed and blinked at the New York Skyline out the window. It was Christmas Eve, and she was in New York City. She smiled and stretched then got out of bed and padded to the window."Can't get enough of it, can you?" Kyle asked walking into the room."It's the perfect view of everything. The Bridge and the Empire State Building. I love the Empire State Building and just the whole city right here when you go to sleep and then when you wake up. It's gorgeous.""Mmm." He pulled off a paint-splattered shirt and headed to the master bathroom. "You can live here if you want, you know. Offer still stands.""I know."

    "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.

    Meredith had followed Brayden through the closet where the bedroom was. A large king sized bed sat in the middle of the room against the left wall facing a window to the right. There was a white sheer curtain that was on a round track that encircled the bed. 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 followed him back into the closet where he opened a bag and pulled out a smaller bag and handed to her and he guided her to the bathroom that was connected to the closet by a door in the middle of the closet on the same wall as the bedro

Coming soon to a goodnovel near you (0.0) ** Chloe sat in the terminal waiting for her plane to board thinking or trying not to think of the past few weeks, or the past few months. She was pushing everything to the back of her mind hoping it wouldn’t surface anytime soon. She wanted to move on and move forward if at all possible. 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. He had brown beady, almost dead eyes and fuzz that resembled a sort of illusion of a beard gone wrong. He was wearing a red

It was five minutes to ten when Darren showed up with a briefcase. He explained all the paperwork as she signed for her transfer to the L.A. office."We are still on holiday break until next week, and then it will take about a week to get your new office set up," Darren told her.

    Chloe woke up on a stretcher in front of Veronica and Gerri's old house. She blinked a few times then wrinkled her nose at the lingering burn of the smelling salts. As much as she disliked them she was getting used to them. She looked up to see an EMT looking back at her, and he flashed a light across her eyes. "Are you okay?" He asked her. "Yes, yes I'm fine Josh. My name is Chloe Harris I'm thirty, and I want to go home." "Fine by me." He told her with a smile. "I want to make my wife’s new years eve party if I can."

    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

    Chloe woke up to a mouth on hers, and she blinked into the dark with a start gasping into the mouth. She felt a hot body pressed against hers and realized she had no clothes on. 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

Kyle put her luggage in the trunk, and she thanked him then headed to the airport to pick up Liam. She had told him what Brownstone said, and he agreed she shouldn't be alone. He was going to stay with her until they caught Marilyn. It was already dark when she got to the airport and pulled up to where Liam waited for her at his gate. "So this is why the patrol couldn't find you?" Liam said getting in the Corolla. "Patrol?" Chloe pulled away from the curb and headed to her house. "I told you I wasn't home. Brownstone wanted me to lay low." "Yeah, you said you were at a friend's, so I sent Patrol to Katherine Chevy's place, and they couldn'
