The Siren (The Chloe Chronicals Book 2)

by Eden Rose

  At midnight, Grant and I walked over to the meeting place where I told the others to meet. Grant went ahead of me and I stayed behind in order to make it seem as if we weren't coming together. Before we separated, he kissed me and smacked my ass.

  "Mine!" He growled in my ear.

  I gave him a wicked grin and sucked my bottom lip in. "Yours."

  The others were waiting for me when I walked up to them. William handed me a coffee and gave me a smile.

  "You know, you keep spoiling me like this I'm going to start expecting it!" I replied to him as I took a drink. Yum. Freshly brewed latte.

  Colin shuffled his weight on his feet and kept stealing glances at me. This is going to be awkward. I mean, this is my task force and I slept with two of the three, not including myself.

  "He should be following his first victim tonight. It's a normal night and she just left for work," Colin explained as he pulled his phone out.

  "Hey, we are trying to be inconspicuous here!" I placed my hand over his phone to hide the glare.

  "What is the plan? Should we stake out the restaurant where she works and see if he shows up?" Colin asked through clenched teeth.

  "Yes, that is a good idea. We can not tip off Jennifer though. Because if she knew that we were there to track and stake she might act differently and it will set him off. My goal, as well as a all of yours, is to pick up a pattern. Once that pattern is captured, this will be a cakewalk," I stated and looked at all of their faces. Grant's body stood out from all of them and I wanted to climb up his body. Damn it, working with him is going to be so difficult.

  I chugged the rest of my coffee and thanked William again. By the time we were walking into the diner, we had a plan. The plan is to be as normal as possible. Since it is late, we were going to act drunk.

  We all sat in a corner booth and I sat in the middle between William and Colin while Grant sat on the other side of William. Obviously, I wanted to sit with Grant but it is time to be professional.

  "Hi, I'm Jennifer. I will be your server this evening. May I start you off with something to drink?" In front of our table is a tall woman who had some killer legs. She isn't skinny but she isn't fat either. I could see why someone would want to keep tabs on her. That black hair just flooded her shoulders and those brown eyes just captivated people.

  We all ordered coffee, and I pretended to be flirting with William in order to get a good look around the diner.

  "You are so funny!" I slurred while rolling my head back. A couple of booths in front of us, fit the stalker's identification. About a week ago, Jennifer's mother came into the bureau with a box full of incriminating evidence. The box held handwritten letters, gifts and actual photos of the stalker and his victim.

  How I can't wait to wake up next to you

  I dream of your hair all over my pillow

  One day, you will be mine

  That is a fairly decent poem, he got more critical and insane towards the next one in the pile.

  One day, you will wake up with me

  If you don't, I will make it so you don't

  You know you love me

  "Not as funny as you! You got so whacked tonight!" William pushed on my shoulder and I nodded towards that booth.

  "Do you think that is him?" Colin whispered by looking at the photo of the stalker.

  "If he isn't , than that man is a twin! Have we seen him looking at her?" Grant asked and turned his head a little.

  The perp in question, is acting suspicious and kept hand writing something. After our coffee is served, I decided to head to the bathroom. The bathroom is down the wall from the perp. On my walk towards the bathroom, I peered over his shoulder and on the piece of paper is random words.

  Upon coming back from the bathroom, I purposefully dropped something next to his table. As I came up from picking up a piece of paper, I am face to face with the perp. He is probably my age and looked like a golfer. He didn't look special and there isn't anything that stood out about him.

  "Hi, handsome," I slurred while sitting on the other side of the booth.

  He looked from me and then to Jennifer. The look he gave Jennifer is pained. In that moment I knew that this stalker considered himself in love with his stalkee.

  There is a piece of paper under his arm that had Jennifer's name and "mine" written all over it. He caught my eyes and gave me a death stare.

  "I am not interested," he growled and then looked at Jennifer with softer eyes.

  "Sorry," I quickly climbed out of the booth and back to my table. "That is him. It has to be. One of you needs to get her attention and pull her outside. She has to know who we are and she needs to give us her complete schedule. I want to know when she sleeps and shits too."

  Grant slid out of the booth and walked over to Jennifer. "Hi, my battery in my car died, do you mind giving me a jump?" That man is always ready for anything.

  Jennifer looked him up and down and the golfer looked as if he were going to kill Grant. It is rather obvious that our waitress thought that Grant is attractive. I completely agree with her. He is sexy as fuck.

  * Grant

  I led Jennifer outside and I could tell that she is curious about what is happening. This is part of the reasons why I wanted to become a cop; in order to help people. It's rather obvious that this woman is freaked out and knows that there is something suspicious happening.

  "My car is over here," she squeaks out and points at a Beetle that is very beat up. "Where is your car?"

  I pointed over to a random truck and then as she started to follow me to it, I turned and addressed why I am there. "I am Special Agent Grant Brandon, and the people at my table are also federal agents. The female is the leader of a stalking task force and your situation has been brought to our attention."

  She swallowed and then looked around. "That man is going to be so upset that I'm talking to you... He follows me everywhere and sits here all night. Do you really think you can help me?" Jennifer sucks in her bottom lip and chews on it. Her nerves were shot since she is shaking her hands together.

  "Yes, I believe we can help you. Before we leave, I'm going to need your complete schedule as to where you are at all times. My goal is to catch him randomly and then grant you a personal protection order. Can you do that for me?"

  Her hand flies to her mouth and she starts nervously biting her nails. Such a gross habit and a major turn off. "Yes, when do you need it by?" Jennifer asked me the question through her nails.

  I fought the urge to yank her hand from her mouth. "Soon. My team and I are going to leave you our information and I need your schedule like yesterday." I waited for her confirmation and then walked back into the restaurant.

  Chloe is in the middle of both guys and she seemed like she is so in her element. I always forget that she strives around men and gets along with them. She looked beautiful.

  As I walked back to the booth, her laughter shook me and I just took her in. In her glory of being a leader. I knew that I needed to tell her how I feel about her. Tomorrow would be a good time to do it while we are at the wedding.

  I sat back in the booth and nodded to show that I completed the task. When we were leaving, we all set our cards on the table with our numbers on them. I wrote my email on the back of my card so Jennifer could email me her schedule.

  When I got out of the shower the next day, I looked at Chloe as she is rubbing lotion into her legs. She looked beautiful.

  "You're staring," she whispered as I looked at her and she looked up through her lashes at me.

  "You are beautiful, you know? Simply beautiful," I stood in my towel and I knew she could see my boner.

  She tossed her head back which shook her wavy hair and laughed. "I think you might be a little bias, don't you agree?" Chloe tried to keep a straight face but she started to laugh harder which caused Steve to bark.

  Chloe got off the bed and walked into her closet. Naturally, my eyes followed her as she walked naked.

  "You
are creating a monster," I mumbled while my towel is becoming a tent.

  In the closet, she giggled. "That's too bad. My boyfriend is making me go to a wedding and I need to get dressed." All of a sudden she walked into the doorway and stuck her ass out.

  "We are going to be later!" I quickly got to where she is standing and picked her up by her hips. The moan that left her lips only increased my hunger. After I deposited her on the bed, she ripped the towel from me and circled her legs behind my knees. "You know what that ass does to me," I dipped my fingers into her and I am shocked to see how wet she was. "You are so wet, baby. Does it excite you how I can turn you on?" My two fingers started a plunging pattern and Chloe bucked against my hand. "Come on, baby. Fuck my fingers. You feel so great!"

  I am losing my patience when my name slipped from her lips and her legs got tighter around me. My fingers made a suction noise as they drove in and out of her. I love hearing her juices as she gets closer and closer to coming.

  When I withdrew my fingers, she groaned and hissed against her lips. "Hey!"

  I guided myself into her in a fast movement. Even though we had sex yesterday, I loved the way she felt when I first drive into her. With her left leg lifted to rest on my shoulder and her right leg hanging off the bed she is completely open to me.

  "Mm, Chloe!" I couldn't help but go faster in her. Her face tightened up and she started to moan louder. She humped against me and met me halfway thrust. I am hungry and turned on, that I gripped her hips and pulled her up further so she is level with my thighs. This only made her moan louder and made me want to get off faster.

  Slow and steady. This is supposed to be about her and not just you.

  "Mm, Grant. You are so..." she didn't finish her sentence and I didn't care that she didn't. Chloe let out a scream and I felt her release around me which triggered mine. I went faster as I reached for it.

  When I climaxed in her, I dropped my weight on top of her and wrapped my arms around her waist. She fit so snug against me. My release is so strong that I couldn't even open my eyes. However, when I did, I seen that her eyes were closed too.

  "Are you with me, baby? Are you okay?"

  She let out a whimper and then nodded. "I am more than okay."

  I rolled off of her and pulled her into me. We laid there for a few minutes and I had a battle with myself. Having her this close is killing me and I needed to tell her how I felt about her before our time expired. Could our time really expire? I didn't want it to but I knew I am already pushing my boundaries by being in a relationship with me.

  Chloe rubbed her cheek against my chest and wrapped her arm around my waist. She made this little whimper noise as she came down from her high.

  "Chlo?"

  She nodded and then rubbed her cheek on me.

  "I need to tell you something."

  The way her body tensed and tightened freaked me out. What is she afraid of? Was she even afraid? I don't know what she thinks I'm about to say but now I'm freaked the fuck out to tell her. Grow a set!

  "I am falling in love with you," I whispered into the top of her head. When I opened my mouth, I wanted to tell her that I slept with Christine, but I couldn't do it. I can't tell her... Things have been so good and only my guilty conscience is getting in our way.

  She tightened again but didn't let go of her hold on me. "Really? How do you know?" At least she is entertaining the idea of talking to me about it. "I mean, I already am putting out for you so it's not like I need those words in order to screw."

  Thank the holy fucking stars, she cracked a joke. "You really want to know?" I'm not sure if this were a good thing that she is asking this question or if it weren't. Chloe nodded her head but stayed tucked against me. "I have always had feelings for you. In high school, college and even after. Living with you is so difficult because I wanted you to be crawling into my bed at night instead of yours. Those feelings didn't change over the years where I didn't talk to you. They only intensified and then when I seen you again they boiled out of control." I took a break from what I am saying in order to see if she is still with me.

  "Yeah? I have always wanted more with you. I think that is why I couldn't be in a relationship with anyone. I kept waiting to see if you would come forward," she brought her head up and swung her body so she is laying completely on top of me. "I am not ready to say those words to you and I'm not sure that I will ever be comfortable saying them." Chloe closed her eyes and I brushed her cheek. "Is that going to be okay with you?" She whispered this part and my heart fell out of my chest.

  "Being with you is more than enough. Do you feel the same way that I feel?" I needed to hear her say something along the lines.

  Chloe laid on me and is quiet for a long time. Steve barked and snapped her out of her daze. "Yes, I do believe I do."

  Euphoria is what I felt. I finally cracked her and got her to admit she has feelings for me. Now, I can't jack this up. Chloe is like a rabbit and you have to approach her carefully or she will scream and run away.

  We laid there for a few more minutes and then my phone rang signifying that Howard had texted me. He is probably going to ask me where I am and why I haven't met him to get a drink before the wedding.

  "Baby, we need to go."

  She grunted but rolled off of me. "Fine, but you are eating me out until my thighs shake and I beg for you to stop."

  I got off the bed and laughed.

  "Me being pleasured by that dirty mouth is nothing to laugh about," Chloe called out as she got dressed in a pretty dress.

  *Chloe

  We arrived at the wedding just in time to gather a program and be escorted to our seats. I have no idea what to wear to this function. After Grant got dressed, I noticed that he's wearing a steel gray silk button down shirt with a blue tie. Needless to say, the car ride here, I couldn't help but fantasize about wrapping his tie around my fingers and pulling him to me.

  I settled on a blue dress that wrapped around my waist. It isn't very fancy and I'm pretty sure that I got it on sale, but from the look that Grant gave me, I feel more confident about wearing it. The dress hit just above my knees and I wore a pair of black kitten heels. I didn't put on a lot of makeup nor did I do anything special to my hair besides straighten it and leave it down. After a quick look in the mirror I decided that I'm decent enough to be seen in public.

  While we sat in our seats, Howard made his way over to us and sat on the other side of me. Grant had his arm around my shoulders and I placed my hand on his thigh. Howard laughed at this like he were seeing a monkey skateboarding.

  He trotted up and slapped Grant on the back and gave me a hug. I laughed when Grant mocked growled. "Never did I think I would find the day! Grant all wifed up and Chloe actually looking content!" Howard wrapped his arm through my the crook of my elbow and pulled me closer to him. "He looks happy, thank you!"

  The smile that formed on my face isn't meant to seem cocky. I just enjoyed hearing that Grant is happy with me. For the past couple of weeks, I have wondered if I were doing anything right. With Howard's admission, I felt relieved.

  "Don't you have a bridesmaid to screw?" Grant whispered across me and eyed his arm through mine. "Because I would really like it if you stopped touching my girlfriend."

  I shifted and laughed. "He is a possessive little ass, isn't he?" I bit out through laughs. People in the church started to turn and look at us. I shrugged and fluttered my fingers to those people who were staring at us.

  Grant leaned in and brushed a chunk of hair from my face, "I love you," he whispered into my ear.

  There is something about his proximity that just gave me goose bumps. He is so sexually charged and every time he got that close to me, I wanted to sit on his face. When he first told me he loved me, I wanted to run. Never did I expect to hear those words more than that, never did I expect myself to want to say them back. I knew that I had strong feelings for him but I couldn't express it to him because I'm not even sure what I'm feeling.

  I go
t his gaze and smiled at him.

  The wedding chapel is beautiful for a fall wedding. There were harvest colors and designs throughout the whole space and there is even a hay pile in the corner. When the aisle runner stopped at the tip of the altar, there is fall flowers that surrounded it.

  When the precision started, everyone stood up. I scanned the crowd to see if anyone looked familiar. I seen Kayla on the other side of the aisle and I also seen a few of the officers from my last sting. These officers are glaring at me instead of the bride who is now walking down the runner. One of the officers caught my eyes and gave me a nasty look.

  Great. Internal affairs has made me a rat and almost everyone hates me for what I do. Well, if these ass holes didn't do the wrong thing then I wouldn't have to bust them up.
