Chapter 30 – The Second Coming
Three days after the Bound.com shoot, Chloe was lying with her laptop on the bed. She had already found Ethan Cooper's personal website during her initial research, but now she decided to take a closer look. The homepage greeted her with pretentious minimalism. Black background, white text in a font that was probably meant to look somber and artistic, but to Chloe looked more like angsty teenager. "ETHAN COOPER - VISUAL EXPLORATIONS OF THE FEMININE FORM IN SPACE" was the big title in the middle. He…-

Chapter 22 – Meeting Elena
Chloe woke up with a start from a deep, exhausted sleep. Her phone was vibrating insistently somewhere under the pillow. She fumbled for it, her eyes still half closed, and squinted at the display. 11:15 a.m. Damn. Sleeping in this late shouldn't become a habit. Her body still felt heavy as lead. Memories of last night's party came back to her. The pink champagne glasses. The groping hands. Elena vomiting. Three new messages lit up the screen. All from Steve Balls.…-

Chapter 40 – Smalltalk
The pain in her abdomen wasn't just a normal slight burning sensation after prolonged sex, which could happen sometimes, but a deep, stabbing cramp that felt like someone had driven a hot nail into her abdomen. The PA with the box braids she had admired earlier appeared with a towel and wiped the cum from her stomach and breasts. The touch was gentle, but even the light rubbing made her flinch. "Here, Chloe." The PA handed her a fluffy white bathrobe. Chloe tried to sit up, but the movement made…-

Chapter 23 – Greasy Buns
She needed more information about Ethan Cooper. And she knew exactly how she was going to get it. The way forward seemed clear. If she filmed for Bound.com, she would have direct access to him. She could grill people about him, maybe even talk to him herself, get a feel for who he was. Fuck it. Let's do it. She pulled out her cell phone and dialed Ben's number as she walked. "Sunshine!" Ben's voice sounded chipper. "How was the party?" Chloe immediately switched to her Chloe Heart voice,…-

Chapter 35 – In the Spotlight
Her head was still spinning from all the excitement surrounding the nominations when she got home. She kicked her sneakers into the corner, flopped onto her bed, and pulled her phone out of her pocket. She had tons of unread notifications on Instapic and Hitter, but also unread messages on WhatsUp and two missed calls. Jesus. The news had obviously spread like wildfire. She opened her messages. Elena had tried to call and then sent her a voice message and Maven had also tried to call. It was…-

Maven looked up briefly from her phone when Chloe came through the door. She made only a vague gesture toward Ben's office, like a traffic cop waving cars through. "He's waiting." "Thanks." It was strange how quickly she had gotten used to this office and meeting with her agent. As familiar as the school bus back in high school. Chloe shuddered briefly at the thought. Then she knocked and entered. Ben's desk was surprisingly messy, covered with printouts, spreadsheets, and highlighters around…

Chapter 53 – Penetration Test
The door handle moved. In the next two seconds, everything happened at once: Chloe made a decision, her stomach clenched painfully, and Chloe Heart took control of the steering wheel. When Ben opened the door, she was already standing, had turned away from the desk, and was beaming at him. "Ben! Is everything okay with your car?" He stepped inside and slammed the door behind him. "Yeah, yeah. Some kind of electrical fault, I had to disconnect the battery. That means Maven has to drive me home…-

The zipper of the black dress slid up, and Chloe looked at the result in the mirror. Simple, practical, would disappear into a closet as soon as she arrived anyway. No reason to make an effort. She grabbed her handbag and checked its contents. Keys, cell phone, lipstick, a little cash just in case, the bare essentials. Everything else would be taken from her anyway. Elena's words from the Plaza echoed in her head. "Valeria is involved in more than most people realize." And: "Next time, Valeria will…

As Chloe climbed out of the dryer and stood up, Ashley rushed over to her with a bathrobe and a water bottle. She wasn't necessarily thirsty, but she wrapped the bathrobe around herself, grateful for the illusion of privacy, even though everyone in the room had just seen the important bits naked anyway. Besides, her legs were quite sticky. Steve was already putting his jeans back on and looked as if nothing had happened. He caught her eye and nodded briefly. "Uh... good job today." "Thanks. You too."…

Chapter 29 – On Your Marks
"Ben!" She forced herself to flash a radiant Chloe Heart smile and stood up. "What a surprise!" He spread his arms as if to hug her, but then changed his mind and patted her on the shoulder instead. "I heard you were absolutely fantastic, handled the shoot like a pro!" "Oh, thank you." She kept her smile going, but let a little bit of her displeasure creep into her voice. "It would have been nice to know you were coming." Ben raised his hands reassuringly. "Hey, I had stuff to do here anyway, I…-
