Prologue

ProloguePierceI pull my hoodie tighter around me as I watch her walk from the hospital. It's late, much later than she normally gets off from work. But that works better for me anyway. Even under the fluorescent bulbs of the parking garage she's still stunningly beautiful. I can't believe that after all this time, just the sight of her still makes it hard for me to breathe. The sound of the gravel under her tennis shoes is the only thing stirring the otherwise quiet night. She has her keys in her hand, her eyes pinging from side to side as she stays alert. Good girl. But her watchful eyes and sharp keys can't protect her from everything. She gets in her car and takes off towards home. I get into my own, but don't rush. It's a route I'm familiar with, having driven it hundreds of times over the last six months. I take my time making the twists and turns until I get to her sweet little house on the edge of town. At first, I wondered why she lived there. So far away from other pe

Chapter 1

HarlowI stretch as a bright ray of sunshine intrudes the lovely dream I was having about sampling wine at a vineyard in the French countryside. I nearly scoff at myself. Like I'll ever be able to do that. I yawn and my eyes flit open, temporarily blinded by the bright light. I blink a few times, trying to remember where I am. I think back to the night before.The shift from hell. I got out of work almost two hours late and I remember crashing out from exhaustion on my couch. I stretch again and feel soft fabric under my hands, a soft billowy comforter on top of me. I'm not on my couch. I lift my head and look around, my stomach dropping and heart beating frantically in my chest. I'm not in my bed either. A quick look out the window tells me I'm not even in my house. "Oh my god." I murmur, sitting up quickly in bed. My head pounds slightly and I reach up to massage it, looking down at my body. I'm still in the sweatshirt and pajama shorts I was in last night. That makes me fee

Chapter 2

PierceI close the door to the control room behind me, making sure it latches so it's locked. I walk over to the familiar chair, sinking into it and groaning as I run my hands through my hair in frustration. Well, that could have gone worse I suppose. I knew she would be scared and confused. I didn't expect the look on her face to gut me quite as much as it did but, who am I kidding? I'm a goner for the girl. I stole her away to lock her up in my tower to keep her with me forever. Well, it sounds crazy when you say it like that.I flick on the screens and look through the cameras at her like I have for months. Only now it's my house she's in, instead of her own. I watch as she wanders around her room, looking through the closet and bathroom. I hope she likes the way I had it decorated for her. Having an old house like this renovated to be more modern was a pain in the ass, but it was worth it for her. I check the cameras at her old place as well, mostly out of habit. I click thro

Chapter 3

HarlowI stare across the counter at Pierce as he eats a sandwich and looks out the window, wondering what the hell to think about this guy. I mean, he's obviously gorgeous. I remember when he was a patient on my floor all of the nurses argued about who got to take care of him each shift. Thinking back on it now, I remember that he specifically requested me. I didn't think much of it at the time. It happens pretty often that a patient will get comfortable with the same staff and request them whenever they can, but now I wonder if his obsession had started even then. But honestly, why would he do this? He's rich, beautiful, clearly intelligent. Why would he go to these lengths for a woman when he could do something so much more logical?Like ask me out on a date. I'm pretty sure I would have said yes, but I would have been as confused as I am now on why he would even want me. My life is a mess. I work too much, live paycheck to paycheck and have the emotional intelligence of a house

Chapter 4

PierceI fall into my chair again, huffing in annoyance at work getting in the way. It's Harlow's first day here and I feel like I should be spending more time with her. But then another part of me thinks it's probably better that she has some time to herself to familiarize herself with the house without me interfering. I pull up the camera for the theater room on the extra monitor I use specifically to keep an eye on her. I see her laying on the couch wrapped up in one of the blankets. I know how much she likes comforting things like big blankets, soft pillows and oversized hoodies so I made sure to have plenty of them throughout the house. I'm glad to see her using the couch. Getting something like that to fit down the narrow hallway of a hundred year old house was a pain in the ass. I tipped the delivery guys a fortune after everything they went through, but seeing her enjoy it now is worth it. I watch as she flips through the options on the screen until she throws down the remo

Chapter 5

Harlow After my outburst I take a step away from Pierce, lowering my eyes to the ground as fear ripples through me. My mother always said my sass would be the death of me. I didn't think she meant it literally. I hear Pierce sigh from in front of me and when I look up at him again, I'm surprised to see guilt instead of anger etched across his face. He runs his hands through his hair and spins away from me, looking out through the fence towards the rolling hills before he turns to face me again. "I know, Harlow. I understand this is all kinds of fucked up. I just want you to be safe and happy. Here, I can keep you safe." he says, his voice taking on a pleading tone as he begs me to understand. "That's not your choice to make for me. I have a life." I spit back. "What kind of life was it?" he asks, his voice taking on a hard edge. "Because from what I could tell, all you did was meander from day to day, doing what was expected of you. You never moved forward. You didn't accompl

Chapter 6

Harlow I yawn and stretch as I wake from a peaceful sleep, my body still engulfed in the cloud like mattress and blankets. I pop my eyes open and am momentarily confused as I take in my surroundings. Then I groan in frustration. So all that bullshit wasn't just a dream? After dinner last night, Pierce didn't say anything as I came up the stairs and went into my room, locking the door behind me. I was worried he may do something weird, like sneak in during the night and watch me sleep, but I hadn't noticed anything like that. I haven't gotten the vibe that he would do something like touch me against my will, but I'm still wary of him. I get up and shower, since it's what I always do, but once I'm dressed I realize I really have no reason to be. I have no job, no responsibilities, nothing to keep my mind occupied. I'm going to go insane. Just as the thought flashes through my mind, there's a timid knock on the door. I unlock it and pull it open to see Pierce on the other side,

Chapter 7

HarlowI spend so much time in what I have now decided is to be called the craft room, I don't realize that the sun has begun to set. Pierce brought me food for lunch and I took a short break to eat it, but he has mostly left me on my own for the afternoon. As much as it feels strange, I almost feel grateful for this break from the real world. It came in a terrifying way, but this is the first time in years I've felt myself totally disconnect from reality. That I let myself not worry about anything other than what is happening right in front of me. I needed a vacation. Not like this, but I needed a vacation.I stretch a little and take a drink of the water Pierce brought me, looking over at Goose who fell asleep in a basket full of yarn. He looks like he's in Heaven. I stand and wander around the house until I find the main staircase as my stomach grumbles. I'm not sure what time it is, but I'm starting to get hungry. Pierce said he had some work to do, and I doubt he would mind me

Chapter 8

Pierce"I don't want a puppy, Pierce." she says gently, her eyes going wide as she looks up at me. "I want my freedom." she murmurs. I feel like an ice pick has been speared through my chest at her words. I've done everything I can think of to make it comfortable here for her. I knew it would take some time for her to adjust. I just never considered what to do if she couldn't adjust."You know..." I say quietly. "My mother always told me if you find someone precious in this world, someone that brings nothing but positivity to everything they touch, keep them close. Keep them safe. Take care of them, because it's likely no one else is." I say, looking away from her out the window towards the beauty of the setting sun. I watch it for a long time, considering what I'm going to say next. I know it will likely impact how Harlow views me for the foreseeable future, so I need to be careful. I look back over at her, once again taken aback by her beauty. I know she can't see it, but only aft

Chapter 9

HarlowI grin to myself as I walk towards the bathroom to change. I was surprised when I realized that I actually missed Pierce over the last few days. I wasn't really sure why he pulled back from me so hard, if he was trying to let me adjust to living here or if he was just busy, but I found myself wishing he would spend more time with me. At first I thought I was just lonely but, truth be told, I'm not much of a people person. I do well alone. That's why I haven't worked hard to have friendships or relationships since my mom died. I enjoy the quiet of living alone, not having to answer to anyone, not having people rely on me. I enter the small bathroom and open a door on the other side. My mouth drops at the wide variety of bathing suits that Pierce bought for me. I'm happy to see a few more modest options, as well as some that show more skin. I go for a full coverage black option that still looks flattering when I slide it on. I grab a couple of towels and head back out to the poo
