All Chapters of One Night Stand With The Unforgettable Stranger: Chapter 351 - Chapter 360

“Excellent,” she said, rising and straightening her skirt. “You can pick Annalise up at seven-thirty.” He jumped to his feet. “Excuse me?” She turned and smiled at him and his gut swooped. He felt the jaws of her trap closing around him. “Will you walk into my parlor?” said the Spider to the Fly. “Annalise will be accompanying you to the fundraiser.” “That wasn’t part of the deal,” he replied hotly. “You said that Chloe won’t be up to attending and I can’t have you go alone. Annalise is a lovely young lady and more than willing to step in as Chloe’s replacement.” There it was. This was the whole reason for her little charade. She was hoping that if she dangled a little bauble in front of him he would jump at the chance. But she was wrong. It didn’t matter who Annalise was what she looked like or how lovely she might be, he didn’t want anyone else. He wanted Chloe and there would be no temptation to stray no matter who his mother flung in his path. “Fine,” he replied wi

She hated that when men looked at her they thought she would be easy, that she would lay down and spread her legs for them just because she was pretty. She hated that people saw her as a bimbo, a brainless blonde who had nothing more to offer society than her body. It’s why she preferred the company of children. That’s why she chose to dress up as Disney princesses. Chloe preferred the fantasy of a knight in shining white armor coming to slay the dragon or Prince Charming rescuing her from the evil queen to the reality of men who thought she was theirs to manhandle. She rested her forehead against the side of the cubicle and wished that Declan was there. No, she didn’t, she realized with a pang. He had lied to her. She had thought he was different from all the other men she had dated, but he had just shown his true colors. He’d gone out with another woman and had lied about it. Now she understood what his attentiveness last night was all about. He’d felt guilty so he had come hom

“So it’s not just me, then,” Brian said before sipping his beer. “Chloe is incredible,” Barry said joining the group. “I’ve never seen Abby so enamored before… except maybe when we went to the royal wedding. This is definitely on par with that.” Declan brooded and sipped his beer. Barry was right. Abby looked at Chloe like she hung the moon and the hero worship was as cute as hell. “I doubt Becky is very happy about it,” Declan replied. Becky had the look of a slowly approaching storm cloud and Declan had the feeling it had little to do with how the party was progressing and a lot to do with the way Abby was following Chloe around. “She’s a little sensitive where Abby is concerned,” Barry said. “Having Heather here doesn’t help.” They all looked over to where Abby’s mother was sitting. She’d taken up a position by the pool in one of the sun lounges and had utterly ignored the goings on at the party. “She wanted to come to be here for Abby, but I thin

please!” Chloe growled at the continued knocking on her door and Declan’s voice as he pleaded with her to let him in. “Let me explain!” If he kept it up she was going to be in trouble with the body corporate of the building and they already didn’t like her. The knocking picked up in both pace and volume and she stormed across the floor and pulled the door open. Declan stumbled across the threshold like he had been leaning on the door and looked up at her startled. “You’re not going to go away until I listen to what you have to say, are you?” He stood with his hands shoved in his suit pants and a desperate look on his face. “No,” he said. With a huff of annoyance, she gave in. “Fine,” she said throwing her arm out to indicate he should go in and sit in the living room. She closed the door as he stepped past her and she caught his scent. Her eyes closed momentarily before she got herself under control. She was mad at him. She needed to keep hold of that anger if she was go

The fact is, Becky, you don't know me at all.” Chloe took a breath and ignoring the tears rolling down her face, she turned to Cassie. “I'm sorry Cassie, I really am. I love you and I understand if you don't want me in the wedding party anymore.” With that, she turned and walked out of the bridal shop leaving a stunned group in her wake.Chloe dropped into the chair beside the doctor’s desk and grimaced. That scene with Becky in the bridal shop was brutal and she had no excuse except that she just didn’t have any filters left. Now she was at the doctor’s office and she just wanted to go home and sleep. She was so tired all the time and with the nausea on top of everything else, she was just done with the world. She wanted to crawl under the covers and hide from everyone and everything until she felt better. “So,” the doctor said with a smile, “what’s going on with you?” Chloe explained her symptoms and the doctor listened attentively. “Do you think you might be pregnant?” the do
