Backup Plan/Emily Goodwin
Chapter Twenty-oneSam“It’s beautiful out,” Chloe says quietly, and I pause before looking up at the star-studded sky. I’m standing just inches from her, having come around the car to open the door for her to get inside. It’s cooled down a lot from the heat of the day this afternoon, but not so much that it’s uncomfortable to be outside. I love nights like this when I can be out in sweatpants and a hoodie, covered up enough to keep from getting eaten alive by mosquitos without breaking out in a sweat.A soft breeze rustles Chloe’s hair, and I reach out, not even thinking, and tuck her hair behind her ear. I get zapped with an electric shock when my fingers grace over her flesh, and Chloe jumps slightly.“Maybe you’re a merman.” She reaches up and puts her hand over mine.“What?” I ask with a chuckle.“It’s something from a made-for-TV movie I used to watch when I was a kid. He shocked people when he touched them.”“I think I remember that one.” I flip her hand over and lace our finge

Chapter Twenty-twoChloe“I…I can’t do this.”The look on Sam’s face just about does me in. But I can’t. I have to stand my ground or that momentary look on Sam’s face will be on mine for months, if not years. Or forever. Because it’s been over ten years since I’ve gazed on this man’s gorgeous face and I’m still just as in love with him as ever.“Then we don’t have to,” Sam says gently and takes his hands off me. I miss him right away. “I’m sorry. I thought you…I’m sorry.” He’s flustered and confused, and I can’t blame him. Because I do want to keep kissing him. I want him to undress me and fuck me until I’m screaming his name. I take a step back and blink away tears. “I really didn’t mean it was idiotic to kiss you,” he rushes out.“I know,” I say quietly. “And I agree you were an idiot for not kissing me sooner, because I really like you kissing me.” Dammit, I do, and desire for him swirls deep inside me, but I have to fight it. I have to stay strong. “I just…I can’t.”“I’m confused

Chapter Twenty-threeSam“Sam’s home!” Mason shouts as soon as I step into the house. He’s sitting in the kitchen, eating the rest of the pie, and snickers when both my mom and Rory come practically running into the room. “I almost had to call in a favor and report you as a missing person.”“I was worried,” Mom exclaims. “You didn’t say anything about staying elsewhere last night.” She holds up her hands. “I know, you’re an adult, but I was expecting you home.”“Sorry. I didn’t think about it.” I put my keys and phone on the counter.“Where were you?” Rory asks, doing a terrible job at hiding her excitement. She knows exactly where I was last night. I drove Chloe home and didn’t come back. Ignoring Rory’s wide eyes and grin, I look at the leftover biscuits and gravy on the stove.“I was with Chloe.” I get a plate from the cabinet. Thinking about her sends a rush through me, and I have to stop myself before my mind wanders back to her soft lips.“About fucking time,” Mason says with hi

Backup Plan/Emily Goodwin
Chapter Twenty-fourChloeIt was harder than I thought to say goodbye to Sam. We spent as much time together as we could before he had to leave Silver Ridge to go home for work. Being with him feels as natural as breathing. The lost years melted away and the stars aligned in such a way that we’re finally together.We only have a few days until we see each other, but this long-distance relationship thing is already driving me crazy. Sam had to fly home yesterday, and I’ve spent all today writing. Dad and Wendy are back now, and it was nice to spend the evening with them.I’m in bed now, looking at flight information. I thought about staying in Silver Ridge until the weekend and then driving to Chicago since it’s not that far, but I miss Spartan way too much. Plus, I need new clothes. Specifically, lingerie since I’m spending a hot weekend with Sam.I book my flight home for tomorrow afternoon. It doesn’t give me much time to be in LA, but I don’t need much time. I just need to do some

Chapter Twenty-fiveSam“You’re going to miss your flight.” I run my fingers up and down Chloe’s back.“Would that be a bad thing?” she mumbles.“Not for me.” I lift my head off the pillow and kiss her forehead. “You can stay as long as you want. It’s quiet here during the day, so you’d probably get a lot of writing done.”“Well, when you put it that way, it would be irresponsible if I didn’t stay.”I sweep my hand down her back to her thigh. We’re both naked in bed, and Chloe is supposed to be leaving for the airport to take a red-eye back to LA. She has a meeting with her agent about the deal the network is offering her. She told me she’s not sure if she wants to take it, even though it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It would take time away from her usual writing, and would tie her to LA. Selfishly, I want her to myself, and her ability to travel easily right now makes being together easier.The weekend is already over, and it went by so fucking fast. We’re both already countin

Chapter Twenty-sixChloe“Hey, sweetheart.” My lips curve into a smile and I narrow my eyes from the bright sun, watching Spartan slowly walk across the pasture, clouds of dust circling his hooves. Holding out my hand, I patiently wait for my thoroughbred to take the carrots. “I missed you.”Spartan gobbles up the carrots and impatiently waits for me to pull out a few more from the bag. I shove what’s left in my pocket and pick up his lead rope, bringing him in from the pasture.My meeting got canceled at the last minute, and while I wished I would have known so I could have slept in, it’s nice getting to the barn this early. I rarely do. I texted Sam and let him know, but with the two-hour time difference, he’s already at work and won’t be able to text me back any time soon.“The vet said you’re looking much better.” I open the gate and bring Spartan out of the pasture, swinging the gate shut behind us before Willow, a dapple-gray pony, can sneak out after us. “We can go out for a ve

Chapter Twenty-sevenSamMaybe I’m dreaming.Or having a nightmare. Yeah, that’s more like it. Because there’s no way I’m running on only a few hours of sleep, need to be at work soon, and my ex-girlfriend is standing right in front of me with her hand on her stomach, saying we need to talk.“Talk about what?” I ask, though I already know. But it can’t be. It’s not possible. Except it is.“I’m pregnant,” she says, and the ground goes out from beneath my feet.I blink. Once. Twice. My heart hammers in my chest and I’m suddenly feeling like I’m going to throw up. “Is it mine?” I ask, words coming out on their own accord. I don’t want to be an asshole, but we weren’t exactly exclusive. The last time we had sex was nearly three months ago, and it was the first time in over half a year.“The timeline matches up,” she says and makes a move to come inside. I’m in such shock I’ve just been standing here, rooted to the ground. I blink one more time, hoping the next time I open my eyes, I’m in

Chapter Twenty-eightChloe“Damn, three thousand words already,” I say out loud to no one. Maybe I should get a cat so talking out loud to myself isn’t quite as weird as it is. I double-check that my document saved, close my laptop, and stretch my arms over my head. I’m sitting on my back patio under the shade of an oversized umbrella.It’s the afternoon, and I spent the last few hours catching up on my social media accounts and writing. I just finished a chapter in record time and now I’m going to treat myself to day-drinking in my pool.Going inside, I change into an emerald-green bikini and slather myself with sunscreen. As a natural redhead, I burn easily. I’ve yet to hear from Sam, meaning he must be having a really busy day at work again. My plan is to send him some sexy photos of myself in the pool, pushing my personal boundaries of what I consider risqué.There’s a privacy fence around my little yard, and the two houses next to me are a little lower on the hill. I don’t think

Backup Plan/Emily Goodwin
Chapter Twenty-nineSamI set the bag of takeout on my counter and sink down on a barstool. I felt like such a fraud talking to Chloe, smiling, telling her I miss her, acting like everything is fucking peachy. It’s far from it, and I don’t think I’ve quite processed everything yet.I don’t want to, but I know I have no choice.Sighing, I take my food from the bag and stare down at the fried rice and orange chicken. Normally after work, I’d get something healthier than this after swinging by the gym for a quick workout. I’ve strayed from my workout since Chloe has been here, not that I mind at all. My eyes fall shut for a minute, trying to drown out the voices in my head telling me how much I’ve screwed up—again.Yawning, I lean back and roll my neck. My shoulders have been tense and stiff since this morning. Letting out a breath, I eat half my dinner and go into my bedroom, stripping out of my clothes to take a shower, mind on Chloe. I want to talk to her. I want to see her and be wit

Backup Plan/Emily Goodwin
Chapter ThirtyChloeMy head hits the pillow as my breath leaves in a huff. I called Sam only fifteen minutes ago and I’ve already come twice. I’ve never had phone sex, let alone FaceTime sex, but nothing was awkward with Sam, and watching him wrap his fingers around his thick cock as I touched my clit was so fucking hot.“I’m tired now,” I pant.“Me too,” he says with a sigh. “And it’s past my bedtime.”“Right.” I turn on my side, pussy still spasming from coming so hard. My vibrator is under the covers with me, and it was the first time I’ve ever let someone watch me use a toy on myself—even if it was via FaceTime. “You’re two hours ahead of me. I should get some sleep too since I have a meeting in the morning.”“Should I call and make sure you’re up?” he teases.“I might actually need the reminder,” I say with a laugh.“I’ll text you when I’m up, and I’ll call at eight your time if I can.”“Mmmhhh,” I groan as I get comfy under my covers. “I miss you.”“I miss you too, Chloe. And…a
