He'd already hit the emergency anti-anxiety meds the minute he arrived home. Between those and the run, he'd managed to avoid hiding in the back of his closet. The back of the closet was his answer to a decompression chamber. He would sit in the quiet dark and clear his mind. This had been his go-to answer to stress since he was a kid trying to escape the pressures of demanding parents.

I love her thoughts in this last para. Man, I've been there. haha

Maybe she would get lucky and have a car accident on the way home. A nice week's stay in the hospital might give Judy a chance to cool off. At least Judy couldn't yell at her while she was in the hospital.

Love where this is going! Can't wait till the next chapter.

With a nod, Chase dismissed her. He tossed the stick in the trash and returned to his paperwork as if she no longer existed.

"You try to scream, and I'll silence you. You might not like how I do it." Chase had no idea why he said that other than her lips were right there and looked so ripe in the red lipstick. He found himself praying that she would try to scream so he would have an excuse to taste them.

Should this say "let me go"?

Love this visual

He came to a dead stop when he rounded the corner and saw the last person he expected to see in the last position he would expect to see her in. Bailey Gallup, the bane of Ren's existence, straddled a hefty man. Her silver-blue skirt was ripped partially from the bodice. It puffed out around her like a storm cloud come to earth.

Loving this story. You're killing it!

Or maybe he would just drink.

Love the description of her being serpentine.

Bailey was not that person. He knew that from the moment he first saw her. Her personality switched from approachable to serpentine when the stage lights came on. What others described as her serene smile, Chase saw as predatorial, and the way she had treated Ren only went to prove he was right. Had he not seen it firsthand, he might not have believed it. After all, Lori Laker had a reputation as the modern-day Martha Stewart. A whole new generation saw her as the perfect role model of a homemaker, one who valued her contribution to the family as much as that of the breadwinner. While past episodes covered how to fold napkins and arrange a dinner party for twelve, many more analyzed the productivity of the average working male when he was able to return at night to a blissful home.

This para is fantastic. I learned so much about him so fast!

He had tried to have a serious relationship before, but women annoyed him. More specifically, their expectations annoyed him. Chase wanted someone willing to take on the role of stay-at-home wife and mother without making spending his money a life's goal. He wanted someone who put his happiness and needs first, someone who appreciated how hard he was willing to work for his family and rewarded him accordingly. He wanted someone to manage his household as efficiently as he managed his company. She should be healthy and bright and full of ideas but astute enough to know when to speak and when to accept his authority without question.
