Sabotage
Chapter 1
Nora Hanen walked downtown Chicago, it was an extremely hot day in July.  She was out walking the pavement. She had several interviews with different law firms. She had just graduated in May top of her class.  She was offered several jobs, but none held her interest.  She had also just broke up with her longtime boyfriend Hank Gannon.  She sighed, Hank was an amazing guy, but she really didn’t see a future with him.  It was hard, but in the end they both agreed to go their separate ways. Right now her love life was taking a back burner anyways, she need to find a job she knew would hold her interest. She was lucky, with her father’s reputation, she got interviews that many just out college students wouldn’t get.  She didn’t want to get a job because she was a judge’s daughter, but she was ok if it got the interview. She knew she could get the job on her own once she had the interview.
She ran into the law firm Gregor and Faber, it was on the biggest ones in the city. She knew they had some amazing clients and cases.  
She walked into the building and towards the receptionist. She smiled.
“Hi, Nora Hanen, I have an interview.”
The receptionist looked her up and down.
“You’re a lawyer?”
Nora nodded.
“Have a seat Ms. Hanen”
She had become use this, she had graduated at a very young age. Most were still in college at her age, not graduating law school. She took a seat nearby.  She looked around at the office. It was very beautiful, not stuffy like so many of them she had been in.  She sat waiting. She turned her head at raised voices.
“I am telling you it not going to happen, I will not let my business be brought down by some two time loser.”
“You need to calm down! Let’s get through this meeting and we will decide the next step.”
“Next step, we shot, that is the next step. Besides why did we have to come all the way to Chicago to get a lawyer, we could have found one at home!”
“Because they are the best lawyers around, they have dealt with these types of situations. Let’s sit down.”
Nora kept her face on her notepad, she didn’t want to stare. She looked up as the two gentleman sat across from her.  She was a bit surprised, it appeared to be a son and father. The father was large, Nora guessed he could be very intimidating. The son appeared to be little less than 30, very attractive. He looked at Nora, their eyes meet, Nora blushed and looked down at her notepad again. She could feel his eyes on her, she didn’t look back up. She could still hear their conversation.
“Listen to me son, this is a waste of time, but while we are here..Son you listening to me?”
“Yeah Pa.”
“Well if you were looking at me instead of the young ladies legs I would know, hey honey. honey.”
Nora realized he was talking to her. She looked up at the father.
“Yes?”
“What your name honey?”
She felt her temper flare, who does he think he is?
“Why?”
“Because my son here is staring at your legs, I figured if I knew you name, I could get him to look at me again.”
Nora rolled her eyes.
“Jeez what a compelling reason.”
“Now honey don’t get all feminist on me, I just want to know your name.”
“And I don’t want to tell you or your son.”
“Listen here little lady...
The receptionist interrupted.
“Nora Hanen?”
Nora closed her eyes then stood. She could see the cocky smile on both men. The younger man finally spoke up.
“Nice to meet you Nora.”
She walked away from them and into her interview.




Chapter 2
Nora walked out of the interview room. She hoped she did well, she was a bit off her game after her little run with the father and son in the waiting room. She looked around and didn’t see them. She was a bit relieved. She left her portfolio with the receptionist and headed towards the elevator. It opened she got in.
“Well if it isn’t Nora Hanen and her son distracting legs.”
“PA! Leave her alone.”
Nora could believe it.  She looked over at them.
“So you know my name, what is yours?”
The son stepped up before the father could make some comment.
“Bo Buchanan and this is my father Asa Buchanan.”
He held his hand out Nora took it. She glared at Asa.
“Sorry about Pa, he doesn’t always know when to keep his thoughts to himself.”
Asa growled, Nora laughed. Bo got closer to her.
“So what you doing here Nora?”
“I had an interview.”
“You’re a lawyer?”
“Yes.”
“Wow, you look really young to be a lawyer.”
“I umm graduated a bit early.”
“Oh, well we are here for legal advice.”
“Well this is a firm to get great legal advice.”
Bo smiled, Nora felt her heart jump.
“Oh just ask the girl out boy!”
Nora laughed and blushed. Bo looked down at the ground, he cleared his throat.
“Umm yeah, so I don’t know if you are from around this area, but would you like to have drinks tonight. My FATHER will not be there.”
“Damn right I won’t, I don’t want to see you make a fool of yourself anymore, plus she annoys me.”
Nora smiled.
“I would love to have drinks with you tonight Bo.”
“Great! Umm, I am staying the Conrad, how about you?”
“Born and raised Chicagoan! So how about I meet you there.”
“Great, 7?”
“7, I’ll wear a short skirt for you.”
The elevator door opened and she got out. She heard Asa as she left.
“Good luck with that one son.”


Chapter 3
Nora got to the Conrad a little before 7. She wore a short dress like promised. She walked into the lounge and she saw him. Her heart beat faster, he looked so handsome in his suit. He walked towards her with a very big smile.
“Wow, look at you, you look gorgeous.”
“You look very handsome.”
He took her arm and guided her towards the door. He took her to one of finest restaurants in the city. The view was breath taking. Bo was wonderful man, and thank goodness appeared to be nothing like his father.  Nora enjoyed her evening with him.  Before she knew it, it was midnight.
“We probably should head back.”
Nora nodded.
When they got back to the Conrad. Bo laughed.
“Well usually I walk the girl to her room, but that maybe a bit difficult.”
Nora laughed.
“That is okay, I have to take a cab to my place.”
“Is it safe for you to be out this late?”
“Don’t worry, I live in a very nice area. But what if I walk you to your room?”
Bo laughed.
“I’d love that, maybe we can have a nightcap.”
“Sounds great.”
Bo placed his hand on her back Nora felt a shiver down her back. She was very attracted to Bo, she have to keep her head on when they got to his room.
Bo ushered her into his room.
“Wow Buchanan the penthouse.”
He laughed.
“Yeah, Pa insist, he is actually at the Hilton in their Penthouse.”
Nora took the glass of wine Bo offered. He put an arm around her and guided her to the couch. They talked for another hour. Bo leaned down and kissed her. Nora felt a spark she had never felt before. It was amazing. She put her hands in his hair. The kiss became passionate very fast. Bo kisses began to wander down her throat. Nora moaned. Her hands roamed down his chest. Bo’s hands reached for her zipper and slowly pushed it down. Nora gasped as he started to slowly lower her dress. Bo pulled away and smiled down at her. Nora smiled back, then her level head came forth. She put her hand in front of him.
“Bo wait. We can’t do this, I really really want to, but we can’t.”
Bo sighed and kissed her.
“You are right.”
Bo put his forehead against hers.
“Nora, please I won’t pressure you for sex, but it is very late, stay here tonight. I’ll sleep on the couch you can have the bed.”
Nora kissed him.
“Thank you Bo.” She looked at his kind eyes and decided to share something.
“Bo I am a virgin.”
Bo sat straight up.
“You? Are you sure? I mean look at you? You are beautiful, didn’t you ever?”
“I’ve done things, I had a long term boyfriend, but we broke up right before we graduated.”
Bo looked stunned.
“Oh wow.”
“Does that bother you?”
“NO! I just, I am just surprised.”
Nora stood and kissed him. Bo kissed her back. He sighed.
“I have some t-shirts you can wear, follow me.”
Nora followed him to the closet and he handed her a t-shirt.”
Bo walked out of the closet, Nora changed and walked out. He was in the bedroom wearing boxers. He was grabbing a book.
“You sleep here, I am going to the living room.”
“Bo, please stay, we can still sleep in the same bed without having sex”
“You sure?”
“Yeah.”
Bo smiled he climbed in the bed next to Nora. They kissed. Bo spooned Nora, she cuddled into him. She fell asleep almost immediately.


Chapter 4
Nora woke in a strange room, she was confused she felt Bo’s arms around her. She smiled when she remembered. She turned in Bo’s arms. She kissed his face until he woke up. He moaned and kissed her passionately and pushed her on her back.  Nora moaned when he grinded his hardness against her body. He nipped down her body. He lifted his head up. He put his head between her breasts as he took several deep breaths. He then lifted his body off of hers.  Nora sat up. Bo looked her up and down.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a t-shirt look so sexy.”
Nora giggled and sat up and kissed him.
“I need to get home Bo, I have an interview at 5.”
He kissed her back.
“Ok, maybe we could go out again?”
“I loved to! How about I meet you at 7 again.”
Bo grabbed her and kissed her again.
“It is a deal.”
Nora put her dress back on and headed home.


She opened the door to her apartment.
“Nora Hanen! Are you doing the walk of shame?”
She laughed at her roommate.
“Not really, Jenny that was the most amazing date I’ve ever had. We didn’t get to his hotel till midnight. Then I went to his room, the penthouse.” Jenny made a little impressed noise “We talked for another hour, then we kissed and it got intense, but I back away. And Jenny he was completely okay with it.  We slept in the same bed and just slept. It was amazing.”
“Oh Nora, are going see him again?”
“Yes tonight!”
“You might want to take a sleep over bag baby, because I am not sure you will be able resist that man two night in a row.”
Nora laughed and headed to her room to shower and get ready for her interview.


Chapter 5- Mature
Nora’s interview went great. She didn’t have a chance to change, so she went Bo’s hotel in her suit.  She saw as she walked in, she smiled. Bo walked over and kissed her.
“Hey beautiful.”
“Hey handsome.”
“So, I was thinking maybe doing a something less fancy tonight.”
Nora smiled and him put her arms around him.
“Oh, what were you thinking?”
“How do feel about Chili dogs?”
Nora got really excited.
“I LOOOVE Chili dogs!”
Bo looked at her with his beautiful eyes sparkling at her.
“I knew you were my type of girl.”
He took her hand and lead her outside and to the closet Chili dog joint.
They were have so much fun. Nora hadn’t laughed this hard in a long time. Bo was so funny and he found her corny jokes funny. Nora felt her heart flutter, she was falling hard for this blue eyes Texan.
After they finished their dinner. Bo took her to a local movie theatre that showed only classic films. Nora began to wonder if Bo was the perfect man.
As the night got later they got ice cream and walked back to the hotel. Nora put her head on his shoulder as they got to the hotel. Bo walked her to his room again.
“Stay tonight.”
Nora smiled and kissed him.
“I’d love too.”
Nora walked to his closet and changed into his t-shirt she walked out. He smiled when he saw her. She sat next to him on the couch.
“Bo?”
He kissed her hair.
“Yeah?”
“Have you ever been married? I just mean you are a very attractive great guy and you are several years older than me, I would be surprised if you haven’t been.”
Bo sat up a bit and looked at her. He looked a little shocked and sad.
“Oh Bo, I am sorry forget it.”
“No, Nora, it is just hard to talk.”
Bo put an arm around her and hugged her to his chest.
“I have been married.  Her name was Didi, I loved her very much.  She was killed last year.”
Nora looked up at him, she could see he was trying to control his tears.
“Oh Bo, I am so sorry.”
“It is okay, it has taken me a long time to heal. Nora, you are first person I’ve dated since Didi.”
Nora was shocked.
“Really?”
“Yeah, I really didn’t think I’d ever date again really, then I saw you. I was attracted you right away, but I knew I had to date you as soon as you started to fight with my father.” He laughed “Nobody gets in my Pa’s face, but you held your own. I knew I need to know you. And I am so glad I did. You are one of the most amazing woman I’ve ever meet Nora.”
Nora felt her heart flutter, she kissed him.
“Bo, you are one of the most amazing men. I know we’ve only had two dates, but I feel like I have known you forever.”
“I feel the same.”
Nora kissed him. It soon became extremely passionate. Nora climbed on his lap straddling his lap. Bo kissed down her neck his hands grabbed her pulling her body close to his. Nora moaned.
“Bo please, I want to make love to you.”
Bo stopped and pulled away.
“Nora? Are you sure? I don’t want you to feel pressure.”
“I am 110% sure, you are not pressuring me at all.”
She kissed him again. She moaned as Bo’s hand reached under her t-shirt caressing her body. He pulled apart and removed the shirt.  Bo held her away slightly. Nora saw him look her body up and down.
“So beautiful.”
Nora reached for his shirt and ripped it off of him. She kissed down his chest, Nora hands busily opened his fly. She reached inside and pulled him out of his pants. She moaned his was so hard and big. She and Bo both moaned as her hands stroked him. Nora kissed him and moved off his lap. She kneeled down. She licked his length Bo moaned, his hands gripping the couch.
“Nora, baby, AHhh”
Nora put him in her mouth. She sucked him as her tongue swirled around his shaft. She tasted him as his hips started to move on their own. Nora sucked harder. Bo hands reached out for her shoulder and pulled her away from his arousal. Nora smiled and licked her lips as Bo closed his eyes and took deep breaths trying to control his body. Nora leaned in by his ear and licked his ear and whispered.
“You taste so good Bo.”
Bo groaned. He kissed her, he stood up with her. His hand reached out and removed the rest of her clothes. She reached for him, his eyes still absorbing the view of her naked body. He pulled her to him. Both gasped as their naked bodies touched for the first time. Bo swept Nora off her feet and walked them into his bedroom.
Bo gently laid her on the bed. He ran his down her body.
“Beautiful.”
Nora reached for him, he so far away. Bo crawled up her body and kissed her Nora’s hand rub up and down his well-toned chest. Bo kissed down her neck to her breasts. He gently sucked them into his mouth giving the both same attention. Nora breathing became shallow, he started to move down further. When he reached her womanhood Nora breath stopped she looked down Bo eyes meet hers as he brought her to his mouth. Bo licked her folds his tongue sought and found her sensitive bulb. Nora’s body jerked and arched. She screamed, she had never felt something so amazing. Bo held her to him as he orally stimulated her. Nora felt a warmth flow over body. She arched her body she knew she was about to come, Bo Sucked her clit Nora fell apart in his arms. She collapsed on the bed as she came down. Bo kissed his way back up her body. He stroked her hair and smiled at her. He kissed her, adjusting both their bodies so he cock was rubbing her wet opening, begging for entrance. He pulled away from her slightly.
“Are you sure?”
Nora nodded reaching for him pulling him in for a kiss. Bo put all his weight on one elbow. He reached down grabbing himself, he rubbed himself on her wet opening then slowly pressed inside her. Nora held onto her shoulders as he slowly entered her. It was painful, Bo pulled out a bit he kissed her.
“You ok?”
She nodded.
“Please Bo.”
Bo pushed in very very slowly. Nora breathing shallow. Bo reached down between them playing her clit as he continued to enter. He finally filled her fully. Nora breathed in and out, she knew it would hurt. Bo kissed her neck and rubbed her as he stilled inside her. The pain began to fade as her arousal took over. Bo must have felt her relax. He started to rock with very shallow thrust in and out. Nora moaned. This was more than she ever thought it could be. Bo started to thrust with long deep thrust. Nora threw her head back. She wrapped her legs around him as he gently made love to her. She felt herself tightening as her second orgasm grew. Bo sucked on her breast as he entered her body over and over. Her nails dug into his broad shoulders. The orgasm hit her hard. Bo groaned loudly as she came around him. He put his face in her breast as he lost control. Nora felt him coming inside her. Nora hands ran down his back as he finished collapsing on her.
Bo kissed her and rolled over. He took her with him. Nora cuddled next him.
“Thank you Nora.”
Nora put her head up.
“For what?”
“For giving me such a wonderful gift.”
Nora smiled and kissed him.
“Thank you for making it so wonderful.”
He caressed her face. She lay back on his chest then soon fell asleep.



Chapter 6-Mature
The next day Nora and Bo spent the entire day in bed making love. Nora couldn’t believe what an amazing lover Bo was. She was so happy her first time was so amazing, she had heard so many horror stories.
Nora was sitting on Bo’s desk her legs wrapped around him as he made love to her yet again. Nora hips were rocking against his as his filled her. Nora felt her orgasm building she wove her hands in his hair. Nora threw her head back.
“Oh Bo, I am so close.”
Bo groaned thrusting a bit harder. Suddenly there was a very loud knock causing both of them jump and pull apart.
“BO! Answer this door right now.”
It was Bo’s father. Both of them cursed. Bo grabbed his clothes, Nora grabbed hers and ran into his bedroom.
“Just give me a minute Pa”
She could hear his father from the bedroom
“Where have you been all day? Why in the hell aren’t you dressed? Don’t you know what” She heard Asa stop talking “You’ve got the redhead up here don’t you son.”
“Pa, what do you need.”
Asa laughed.
“Good for you son.”
“PA!”
“Where is she? Your bedroom?”
“PA! Please, what do you need?”
“Fine, just wanted to let you know the lawyers are getting those paper ready. We need to meet them tomorrow. Enjoy your night son.”
She heard him close the door.
“He’s gone”
Nora walked out of the bedroom still naked. She walked over to him smiling. Her hands rubbed his crotch. She smiled, he was still semi hard. He kissed her and moved them back to the desk. He lifted her putting her legs on his shoulders and entered her body again. Nora screamed. He was in he so deep. She whimpered her orgasm shook her body. Bo came moments later. Bo kissed her.
“We really should get some food.”
Nora sighed
“I guess. How about we get some pizza!”
Bo lifted her off the desk and smack slightly
“Sounds like a plan.”



Chapter 7
Nora and Bo spent the next two months practically joined at the hip. Only separating when she had job interviews or he had meetings with his lawyers.  Her roommate laughed every time she came home.
“It is like I live alone, but please keep paying the rent!”
Nora did get a job, but it wouldn’t start for another two weeks. She was so excited and nervous. Bo was so excited for her, it was adorable.
Bo and Nora spent much of the time making love. Nora couldn’t get enough of him, but they had so much fun even when doing something like watching TV.  Nora knew she was falling in love with him.
Nora was on his couch going of some new cases that had just went though the supreme court. She heard Bo walk into the room.
“Red?”
“What?”
“How do you feel about dancing”
“Like disco?”
Bo laughed.
“No, I mean like ballroom, jitterbug, swing, 50’s.”
“Oh! I love it!”
“Well there is a 50’s dance dinner just out of town I thought we could go tonight.”
“Oh BO! I think that sounds wonderful.”
She kissed him and he kissed her back. He parted from her, he moved her hair out her face. Nora smiled, she loved the way he looked at her.
“Red, I love you.”
Nora felt tears of joy.
“Bo, I love you so much too!”
Bo held her to him and kissed her. He kissed down her neck and began to remove her clothes.
The knocked. Bo got up kissing her one last time. Bo answered the door to Asa.
“Bo we need to go home. Oh, Nora didn’t realize you were here.”
“Pa, what do mean we have to go home?”
“It is your mother, Bo she had a stroke, we need to get back to Texas now.”
Nora saw Bo’s face fall with the news.
“Ok, let me get a few things first.”
“You have an hour to get to the airport.”
“I’ll be there Pa.”
Asa left, Bo turned to her. She walked over to him and embraced him.
“I am sorry Red.”
“No, Bo go to you mother.”
They kissed. Bo started to pack fast Nora helped him.
“Red I have this suite paid for the next two days, don’t rush out. I’ll contact you as soon as I can.”
She nodded helping him. They head towards the door and down the elevator. Bo grabbed her kissing her on their way down. They got to the lobby a cab was waiting. Bo got his cases in the trunk he turned to her and kissed her again. He put his forehead on hers.
“I love you Nora Hanen.”
“I love you Bo Buchanan.”
Nora watched her lover get and the cab and leave. She had sense of sadness and dread. She missed him so much already.
 




Chapter 8

Nora started her job, she had yet to hear from Bo. She was beginning to worry. Bo didn’t contact in anyway. She try to call but the number she had, but it was disconnected. She even went to his lawyers to see if they could get a hold of him, but they wouldn’t violate any client information.  As a month went by she felt her heart break, she knew Bo wouldn’t be coming back. She wondered if he just used her, but they had such a wonderful time. She truly enjoyed his company.  She decided to bury herself into work and forget she’d ever meet Bo Buchanan.


10 years later
Nora Hanen was sitting in her new office in Llanview, PA. She had been offered this job after her win in a very high profile case in her last job in Chicago. At first she wasn’t sure if she want to move away, but it seemed like a nice town and she need some new scenery. So far she had just started to meet a few people in town. They all seemed very nice. She had met a man named Clint Buchanan, he and his wife seemed very nice. But they just reminded her of Bo and how he broke her heart.  When she first heard his name, her heart leapt, even after a decade his last name still has that effect on her. Nora looked at the clock, it was time for lunch. Her assistant recommended the Palace. Nora came in alone, her lunch date should be there soon. She waited.
“Mom!"


Nora smiled and opened her arms. Her son came flying into her arms.
“Cody, oh honey I’ve missed you.”  
“Mom you saw me this morning!"  
She laughed and ruffled his hair.
“I know but I still missed you so much.” 
She kissed his head, the hostess came over, and their table was ready. Nora sat and listen to her son tell her about his day. She loved listening to him, he reminded her of Bo when he got really excited about his day. They finished their dinner, then Nora heard a voice she hadn’t heard in a decade. She froze.
“RENEE come on, this old cowboy was stupid, please let me have one more chance" 
“Asa, I have given you two chances already. The answer is NO!”
Nora felt a little hand grab her shirt.
“Mom, what is wrong?” 
She looked at her son, she was immobilized with fear. What would Asa do if he saw her and then Cody, would he put it together and take her son?
“Nora? Nora Hanen?”
Nora put her arm around her son and turn.
“Asa.” 
Asa looked down at the boy then at Nora.
“Who is this?” 
“My name is Cody!”
Nora held her breath. She saw Asa’s eyes looking at Cody.
“Cody! How old are Cody?” 
“9!" 
Asa head snapped up and looked at Nora, he knew. She kissed Cody’s head.
“Honey why don’t you head up to the room, I’ll be up soon.
Cody ran to the elevator.
“You had Bo’s son and didn’t tell him.” 
She looked at Asa astonished.   
“Didn’t tell him? I couldn’t find him! He promised to contact me and he never did. EVER! I wrote I called the number he gave me. I got nothing in return. So obviously he didn’t care he was a father. It was obvious I was just something he used.”
“Now wait here I know my boy, there is no way he’d turn his back on his own child. And he never uses women! Bo is careful with who he sleeps with. That boy was head over heels for you. God knows why with your mouth.”
Nora felt her anger build. 
“Well maybe you don’t know your son as well as you thought.” She turned away from him and went to her room.
“Mom! Mom! Can we go to the park?”
“Yeah sweetie.”   
Nora took Cody’s hand and headed towards the park.

Chapter 9
Nora watched her son play with other children. A woman came over and sit down by her.
“Are any of these children yours?”
“Yes the little brown hair boy over there is mine.”
“He is a handsome boy.”
Nora smiled.
“Yeah, he looks like his father.”
“Oh, with the look on you face, I’d say his father must be even more handsome.”
Nora blushed.
“Yes he was, but I haven’t seen him in many years.”
“Oh, sorry.”
Nora shrugged.
“Oh, I am Violet”
“Nora. How about you any of these children yours?”
“No, my husband wants kids, but I am not really a nurturing type.”
Nora nodded.
“I just like watching them play as I eat my lunch. I’ve never seen you, you from this area?”
“No, just moved. I got a job at Turner and Blackwell.”
“Oh are you a receptionist?”
“No, I am a lawyer.”
“OH! Wow, where did you move from?”
“Chicago.”
Violet gave her a strange look.
“What?”
“Nothing, just ummm trying to remember.”
Nora nodded.
“Your son? He looks to be about 8?”
“9”
Violet stood suddenly.
“I am sorry, I um I remembered I have meeting with my dietitian. It was nice to meet you Nora umm?”
“Hanen.”
“Hanen. Nora Hanen Chicago lawyer with a 9 year old son. I have to go bye.”
Nora watched confused as Violet ran.
“Weirdo.”
“Cody, honey we need to go back home!”
Cody came running to her.
“Mom I just made friends! That is Kevin and Joey that is their aunt Tina. They said they have a sister that is 9 too!”
Nora waved at them.
“That is great honey, but I have to get back to work.”
“Ok, BYE”
Cody waved to the boys and their aunt. He then took his mother’s hand and walked back to the Palace with her.
Nora left Cody with her new nanny and head back to the office.



Chapter 10
Nora sat in her office not thinking about work at all. She could still feel the shock of running into Asa. She wondered now if Bo was in this area, her heart stopped. She wasn’t ready to see him, he ignored all her letters and didn’t even attempt to contact her after he promised and told her he loved her. She had been raising Cody all on her own for 9 years. She wasn’t ready to share him, especially with a man who broke her heart. She looked at the clock, it was time to go. She packed up.
Nora walked into the Palace hotel. She stopped dead in her tracks. There he was sitting on a couch in the lobby that faced the door. He had obviouslyhad been told by Asa what he saw and waited for her to return.
He stood and walked up to her. God he was still so handsome, those eyes, her son had those eyes.  Nora meet him halfway.
“Bo.”
“Nora.”
They stood there for a few minutes not saying a word.
“Bo, I have to get to my room my nanny is waiting.”
She went to walk around him. He grabbed her arm, she felt that spark. She looked at his face.
“We need to talk! Now!”
“Bo I can’t, I have a son waiting.”
“YOU MEAN MY SON!”
Nora jumped.
“You didn’t want him Bo, so don’t pull this.”
“Didn’t want him? I didn’t know he existed.”
Nora shook her head and walked away.
“Don’t walk away Nora.”
“BO! I have to get my son, he is waiting for me. I will worry him if I am too late.”
“Fine! But I am coming with you.”
“NO!”
“YES!”
“Fine Bo, but don’t you dare tell him you are his father!”
Bo followed her close. She could smell him. He always smelled so wonderful.
Nora walked to her door, she could hear Cody laughing. Her heart was in her stomach. She turned to Bo.
“Please Bo, don’t take him away from me. And PLEASE don’t hurt him, please”
Bo looked at her shocked.
“I would never do something like that Nora.”
She gave him a weary look then opened the door.
“MOM!”
Cody ran to her and hugged her tight.
“Ms. Hanen.”
“Hi Janet, thank you so much.”
“No problem he is a great boy.”
“Mr. Buchanan!”
“Hi Janet. How are you?”
“Fine, I miss Jess.”
“I think she misses you too. I am sure Clint and Viki would love to see you again.”
“I was planning to come over and visit this weekend.”
He nodded. Janet left. Nora just then realized Clint and Viki were his family too. Damn.
“HI! I am Cody!”
“Hi Cody, I am Bo.”
“Cody, Bo is an..old friend of mine.”
“Cool! What do you do Bo?”
“I am the police commissioner”
“REALLY! WOW! Do think you can let me drive in car?”
“Cody!”
Bo laughed.
“I loved to show you my car, maybe later.”
“Okay.”
“Cody why don’t clean up a bit, it is nearly time for dinner.”
Cody ran towards his room. Bo eyes never leaving him. Once Cody was in his room. Bo turned to her. Hurt written all over his face.
“How could you do this Nora? I loved you so much and you kept me away from my son.”
Nora felt her anger building.
“HOW COULD I! I wasn’t the one who left and promised to contact me right away! You were! AND YOU NEVER DID!!! I was so devastated Bo, but you left me and I had no choice. Then when I found out I was pregnant I called you, but the number was disconnected. I wrote you with address I found several times.  You never contacted me.”
“YOU NEVER WROTE ME! AND AS FOR  LEAVING YOU! Nora I came to get you after my mother died, I saw you with another man!”
Nora felt like he slapped her, how dare he say such things.
“What? You have been the only man I have ever been with, even after all these years. Bo I have been on a grand total of 3 dates since you left me, all which occurred after Cody was born.”
“NO! I SAW YOU.”
“I don’t know what you saw, but it wasn’t me. I think you need to leave now!”
“Nora, I want my son!”
“You lost any rights when you ignored my letters. God Bo if you didn’t want me fine, but our son?”
“Nora I wanted you, I never knew about our son.”
“BULL! Leave now!”
“Fine, but this is far from over.” 



Chapter 11
Nora spent the next several days in a daze. She was so scared that Bo would try to take Cody from her. She was so upset that he stoop so low to accuse her of cheating, then to lie about not knowing about Cody. Did she ever know that man?
Cody wanted to go to park again. It was the weekend so Nora agreed. She sat down and watched him. He was such a joy in her life, she loved that boy with all her heart.  Someone sat down by her, she didn’t look she was too busy watching Cody.
“He looks like me.”
Nora jerked her head.
“Yeah, he does. Sometimes I’ll look in his eyes I feel like you are here with me.”
Bo sat silent watching Cody with Nora.
“Red, please I want to know my son.”
Nora felt tears coming.
“Don’t call me that. Bo I wouldn’t keep him from you, you never showed interest.”
“Nora I swear I never go any letters. I would have been there I wouldn’t have missed 9 years! I loved you so much.”
Nora closed her eyes.
“Fine. But I need to know everything about you first. I don’t want any surprises.”
“Where have you been?”
“I was in Texas for about a year before moving to Llanview, Pa and I wanted to be near my brother and his children.”
“Are you married?”
“Yes.”
“How long?”
Bo got quiet she looked over at him.
“Almost 10 years.”
Nora laughed through her tears.
“So much for love.”
“I did love Nora, but I was heart broken and she helped me through losing you and my mother.”
“Do you have any other kids?”
“No, I want kids, but my wife seems uninterested in them.”
Nora nodded.
“Does your wife know about me?”
“Not really, she knows there was someone in Chicago, but she has no idea how important to me you were.”
“Does she know about Cody?”
“Not yet I haven’t seen her since I found out.”
Nora nodded.
“Bo, please be careful with him. He is all I got.”
Nora stood and called her son over.
“Cody do remember Bo?”
“Yeah the police man!”
Nora smiled, she sat down and got eye level with him.
“Baby do remember what I said about you daddy?”
“Of course mom! That he was really nice guy and that I look just like him!”
She nodded.
“Cody.” She took a deep breath and looked at Bo. “Bo is your father.”
Cody looked at her with those eyes, his father’s eyes, she could see the confusion. Cody looked at Bo then back at his mother. She could see the hurt. Then he looked at his father again.
“Where have you been?”
“I have been in Llanview.”
“But why didn’t come and visit me? Don’t you want me?”
Nora felt her tears coming down.
“I want you! I just didn’t know about you until a few day ago.”
“Mommy?”
“Baby, please believe me. We both love you, that is all that matters. Okay?”
Cody nodded, but he still looked very confused and hurt.
“Hey, why don’t we go for ice cream?”
Cody nodded. Nora took his hand. Bo stood up with them. She looked at him, he seem lost at what to do.
“You coming Bo?”
“Yeah.”
The three of them headed to local ice cream shop.



Chapter 12
The three of them sat in silence eating their sundaes. None really sure what to say or do.  Bo finally spoke up.
“Cody, do you play any sports.”
“YEAH! I play baseball and soccer and basketball and swimming and I want to play football, but mom says I am too small.”
“Maybe next year baby.”
“I love football, who is your favorite team.”
“THE BEARS!”
Bo laughed.
“Of course they are. Oh Nora, want have you done to our son.”
“Raised as a proper Chicago child! He loves the cubs too.”
“OH NO! OH, my heart!”
“Well who do you root for..dad?”
Nora stopped eating she looked at Bo. She could see the tears threatening to spill.
He cleared his throat
“Umm the eagles of course! I actually have season tickets. Would you like to go to a few games?”
Cody’s eyes got really big.
“REALLY!”
“Yeah.”
“Mom can I go?”
Nora laughed.
“Of course you can baby.”
“WOW!”
“Dad?”
“Yeah Cody?”
“Do you love my mom?”
Nora swallowed, Bo stuttered a bit.
“You know baby. Why don’t you go clean up.”
“Mom”
“Now.”
Cody slouched and went to the bathroom.
“Oh wow, wasn’t expecting that one.”
“Me either. Bo what about your wife?”
“What about her?”
“BO! She is going to be part of his life now, if she isn’t into kids, what will her reaction be to a 9 year old from another relationship?”
Bo cringed.
“I don’t know. She should be home tonight I’ll talk to her. I think it would be best if I introduce both you and Cody to her at the same time.”
“That is fine. Cody starts school tomorrow. We should go.”
Cody came back.
“Cody we need to leave, say goodbye to Bo.”
Bo and Cody hesitated and hugged.
Nora took Cody’s hand and walked out. She felt her heart breaking. Will she always feel that when she saw him?



Chapter 13
Nora sat at work going through her cases. Her phone rang.
“Hanen”
“Nora it’s Bo.”
“Oh Hi”
“Nora I told my wife. She’s umm she is a bit upset.”
Nora sighed, she was afraid of this.
“Bo, what do want me to do?”
“Nora, I am not sure what I am suppose to do here. She says she doesn’t want a child, but Cody is mine.”
“Bo why are acting like you want him? You never took any interest before? What you afraid you’ll look bad in the community?
“NORA I WANT HIM! GOD DAMN IT!”
She could hear him breathing on the other end trying to calm down.
“Nora I didn’t know I swear! Besides, if you had not cheated on me, I would have been there!”
“I never cheated on you!”
Nora put the phone on her shoulder and took a deep breath. She put it back to her face.
“Listen Bo, I don’t care what you decided to do, just be careful with Cody.”
She hung up on him.

Nora decided to take a walk. She went to the park that was empty since school was in session. She sat and thought. She was still so in love with Bo, she knew that. But his insistence that she cheated on him and that he didn’t know about Cody hurt her so deeply. She notice someone else coming into the park. She realized it was Violet.
“Oh hey Violet I haven’t seen you.”
“LEAVE!”
“Excuse me?”
“LEAVE THIS TOWN AND TAKE YOUR BRAT WITH YOU!”
“What in the hell is wrong with you? I don’t even know you.”
“No, but you know my husband don’t you, oh you know him really well.”
Nora was so confused.
“I am sorry Violet, but who is your husband.”
“Bo Buchanan.”
“Oh. I, Violet I didn’t know.”
“Yeah right, leave, I am not going to have you mess up this life I built.”
“I don’t want to! But Bo suddenly wants his son, I can’t stop him.”
“You can LEAVE!”
“I am not leaving, I will not hurt my son like that, and I would never keep him from his father.”
“You know I worked really hard to get him from you, I am not going to lose him.”
Nora looked at Violet, she freakin nuts.
“You know, if you don’t want to see my son fine, but you have nothing to worry about from me, he doesn’t love me. Never has.”
Violet laughed.
“God, you two are so stupid. Stay away from me and my husband.”
With that Violet left leaving Nora in a confused and worried state.




Chapter 14

Nora walked back to her office. She picked up her phone and dialed Bo.

“Buchanan.”
“What in the hell is wrong with your wife?”
“Nora? What are talking about?”
“Your wife came up to me in the park today and threatened me, she told me to leave town Bo.”
“What? Oh come on Nora, that doesn’t sound like her at all.”
“I am telling you Bo, she finds me threatening to your marriage, what in the hell did you tell her?”
“Only that you were a woman I once has a short relationship with that produced a son. That is it.”
“Bo she thinks I came to town to steal you, Bo I don’t want her near our son.”
“I’ll talk to her.”

“BO!”
“I’ll keep Cody away from her.”
“Thank you.”

Nora hung up, she was so disturbed by what happened. Violet was so nuts. Nora worried for Cody, if she was like that with Nora what would she do to Cody? Nora paced, then she realized she need to investigate Bo’s wife.

Nora’s office door opened.

“Hi Mom!”
“Hi sweetie how was school?”
“Great, I am in the same class as Jessy!”
“Oh that great honey.”
“Did you know dad was her uncle!”
“I did know that.”
“That makes Jessy my cousin!”
“It sure does.”
“Mom, does dad have any more family?”
“Yeah, you remember Asa?”
“Yes.”
“That is your grandpa.”
Cody’s eyes got really big..

“MOM! Will dad introduce me to all of the family?”
“I bet he will.”

“COOL!”

Nora laughed at her son's excitement. She took his hand.

“Let’s go home.”

They opened to door, Bo was on the other side about to knock.
“Oh, I was.. Hi, I wondered if Cody would want to meet the family tonight.”
Cody started to jump and down, Nora laughed.
“He was just asking about that, Jess is in his class.”
“Oh, so?”
“Cody?”
“Yeah!!”
“Ok, let’s go home first and put away your school stuff.”
“Let me drive you two.”




Chapter 15
Nora laughed as Cody ran into their hotel suite. Bo followed, he gave her a small smile. 
“I haven’t been able to talk to Violet yet.” 
Nora stiffened. 
“She’s not going to be there is she Bo?” 
“No, she has other things tonight.” 
“Good.” 
“How about you come too?” 
“I don’t think so Bo, I don’t want to hear your father judging me.” 
Bo nodded. Cody came running out. 
“I am ready.” 
“Great, let’s go!” 
“Mom aren’t you coming?” 
“No, I think this is something for just you and your dad’s side ok?” 
Cody looked a bit disappointed, but nodded. 
“Have fun.” 
Nora sighed as the left. Her room seemed so quiet. She decided to make a few calls and start looking into Violet Buchanan. 
--
Nora looked at the clock, she hung up the phone. She called several of her contacts in Chicago, they were going to look into Violet. She heard her door opening. She went to the living room. Cody ran in Bo not far behind. 
“Mom, did you know Asa lives in a mansion with MOAT! And that i have lots of cousins and an UNCLE! I’ve never had an uncle.” 
Nora smiled at his enthusiasm. 
“Ok little man, why don’t you get ready for bed, we’ll take about it tomorrow." 
“Thanks dad!”
Cody ran to his room. Nora looked at Bo who was smiling at Cody’s door.
“He’s great Red.”
“Yeah he is." 
Bo walked up to her.
“Red I know you don’t trust me, but I really did love you and I would have been there for all of this.” 
“Bo, please don’t.”
Cody opened his door.
“Dad, can you and mom read to me?
“Sure bud.” 
They all climbed on Cody’s bed. Bo read as Nora listened. She felt Cody drift off. She felt Bo’s hand brush her hair off her face. She looked up, his eyes looked in hers. She felt her heart do the familiar flutter. He leaned in and kissed her. Nora kissed him back. They pulled away. Nora let go of Cody gently. Bo followed her out of the room.
Bo pushed her gently against the wall and kissed her. Nora wrapped her arms around him. She gasped as his hands went under her shirt and caressed her breast. She began to undress him as he guided her towards her room. Bo managed to get her naked. He was in his boxers. They gently fell on the bed. Nora ran her hands down his body, god he still felt amazing. His hand wandered to her hips as he nipped at her neck. Nora opened her eyes, she saw his hands reaching for her face. Then she saw it with the corner of her eyes, his wedding ring. She put her hands on his chest pushing him off of her. She stood in the corner of the room with her arms wrapped around her. She felt tears threatening to spill. Bo was still on the bed in his boxers, he had his face in his hands.
“I am sorry Red.”
“Bo you need to leave.
He nodded he got up and dressed. Nora stood in the corner. He looked at her one last time.
“You are still the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen Red. 
He opened her bedroom door. Nora listen for the front door, after it closed she allowed herself to cry. Damn that man. Nora dressed and went to bed.


Chapter 16
Nora avoided Bo after what had happened in her suite. If he wanted to see Cody, she had him meet Cody in the lobby. Cody was loving having Bo in his life. The Buchanans had accepted him with open arms. Except for Violet. Nora was happy Bo kept Violet away from Cody. Nora bad vibe from her wouldn’t disappear.
Nora was at work trying to figure out the best way to defend a new client. The phone rang.
“Hanen.”
“Nora! It’s Dan Little”
“Hey Dan! Please tell me you have something for me.”
“OH I do. Seems Mrs. Violet Buchanan grew up near Bo Buchanan. But the Buchanans didn’t really know her. From what I have found she knew them, in fact my contacts tell me she was obsessed with Bo from afar. When he came home with a wife she went crazy. She was actually institutionalized. Then when his wife died she tried to slide in from what I’ve been told. But he was too distraught to notice her.  Then she became Olivia Buchanan's friend. Nora this where it gets really weird. Olivia Buchanan was doing well, until Bo and Asa went Chicago. About a month into it she started to get ill, then she died before either could return. Nora, I think she killed Olivia.”
Nora was silent. Then she thought back to when she met Violet.
“Oh God, she knew who I was when we first meet, I just thought she was weird!”
“I don’t doubt Nora, she was obsessed with him. She even moved on him right after his mother died, but he didn’t have anything to do with her.”
“What changed?”
“Nora he went back to Chicago two weeks after his mother died and return to Texas within 24 hours. Nora, Bo married her two weeks later.”
Nora was shocked.
“He went to get me. Oh God, he said he saw me with another man! But I wasn’t, I never was. Oh God, she must have been in my house! She must have hired someone to make Bo think I had cheated on him.”
“Nora, I think she did exactly that and Nora?”
“Yeah”
“Didn’t you say you wrote to Bo.”
“Yes.”
“She probably stole those letters so he wouldn’t know.”
Nora was too stunned to speak.
“Nora? You with me?”
She shook her head.
“Yeah. Dan how do I prove this?”
“You need to see if she kept those letters. People like her always keep trophies, her prize was Bo, but those letters are her treasure to keep him hers.”
Nora hung up, she still was in shock. She never ever thought she’d find something like this. What does she do. Then her heart leapt, he didn’t lie, he came for her, he didn’t reject Cody. She need to find him, maybe he’d help find those letters.


Chapter 17
Nora went to Bo’s house. She knocked. She was very nervous. Bo answer obviously very surprised she was there.
“Nora?”
She couldn’t help herself she grabbed him and kissed him. He was shocked at first, but soon returned the kiss. Nora let go of him.
“I love you Bo, I love you so much, I’ve always loved you. Even when I thought you left me and didn’t want our child I loved you.”
Bo looked at her for a minute.
“Red, I love you too, but I am married, I..you hurt me by cheating.”
“Bo I never cheated, I never have had another man, but you. In 10 years no man has ever even seen me naked but you.”
Bo shook his head.
“But I saw you.”
“Bo I think you were set up to see that and I think that person also kept my letters from you.”
“What? Who would do such a thing? That is cruel.”
Nora hesitated.
“Violet.”
“Violet? My wife? Oh come on Red, I know you don’t like her, but come on.”
“Bo I had a friend of mine who is a professional PI investigate her after she demanded I leave town.”
“YOU WHAT!”
“Bo please, she was scary and she was going to be around my son at some point, I needed to know.”
She pleaded with her eyes.
“Bo your wife was obsessed with you long before you knew her. Bo my friend thinks she killed your mother. He also thinks she will still have my letters, as a trophy.”
Bo paced.
“This is crazy Nora, no way, I mean what..What.”
“Bo please, do you know where she might keep something like that.”
Bo stopped and looked at Nora. Then his eyes went to a painting. Nora looked back at him.
“She has a safe behind that, I don’t know the code.”
Nora stood and removed the painting. She looked around, she saw a hammer she picked it up and began beating the safe.
“RED! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?”
“Bo if I am wrong I’ll buy you a new one.”
She kept hitting it.
“Here let me.”
Bo took it and hit several times very hard. Finally the door opened. Nora looked at Bo, he reached inside. What he pulled out made her blood run cold.

 

Chapter 18-Mature
Bo pulled out pictures. Some new and some old. There were pictures of her and Cody as he grew up, pictures of Bo and Nora when they were together in Chicago, explicit pictures.
“Red?”
Nora couldn’t talk. He looked through the pictures then he found letters. Her letters. He looked up at her. Both were crying. Bo opened one of the letters.
Dear Bo,
I am writing you one last time hoping you’ll respond.  I had the baby, a little boy. He looks just like you. Bo I know you don’t love me, but please come for your son. He needs you in his life. I am naming him Cody. I have included a picture.
Nora
Bo looked at the picture it was one of Nora holding Cody just after he was born. Bo held it to him. He turned to Nora.
“Red I love you more than anything.”
“I love you too Bo.”
He reached for and kissed her passionately. Soon they were naked on the floor. Bo’s hands were all over her. She arched, God she loved how he touched her. Bo kissed his way down her body and then back up. He sat up he ripped his wedding ring off and threw across the room. He leaned down grabbing her face and kissed her. Bo adjusted himself and started to enter her. Nora gasped. It was slightly painful, she hadn’t been with a man in nearly 10 years. Bo lifted up a bit and looked in her eyes. He reached between them and played with her wet clit. Nora moaned Bo pushed in more slowly. He filled her totally. Both of them stilled trying to gain control of their bodies. It had been so long since they had made love. Bo kissed her and began to thrust into her body. Nora wrapped her long legs around his hips. Nora forgot how good he felt. Soon she and Bo were thrusting their hips together hard and fast. Bo hands went to her hips and lifted her slightly. Nora moaned as he delved deeper inside her.
“Oh Bo!”
Bo head was in the crock of her neck.
“Red I am not going to last.”
“Don’t you dare leave me behind.”
He groaned and played with her clit harder.
“You feel so good, I am so close Red.”
Nora felt her orgasm build.
“Oh Bo, so close so CLOSE!” She came hard around him has his continued to thrust. Nora felt her orgasm subside just as Bo came. They laid on the floor spent, but so happy. Bo lifted up a bit and kissed her. She ran her hands through his hair.
“Love you so much Red, I can’t believe I missed so much.”
“I love you too, we can start over Bo, Cody loves you, that all that matters.”
A voice interrupts their passionate reunion.
“Well isn’t this cozy."


Chapter 19
Bo and Nora look up, Violet was there pointing a gun at them. They scramble to stand. Bo pushed Nora behind him.
“Violet put the gun down.”
“Why on earth would I do that? I told her to leave! I knew you’d do this, she seduced you again. You can’t resist her, you are mine and she keeps trying to take you away.”
“Violet, we found Nora’s letters and the pictures.”
Violets face gets very red with anger.
“THOSE WERE MINE!”
“No, they weren’t Violet. Nora sent them to me, your actions made me lose precious years with my son and Nora.”
“Oh please, you didn’t want that kid.”
“Of course I do. He’s mine, I love him.”
She get upset starts to wave the gun.
“YOU HAVE ME!”
Nora puts her arms around Bo as his reach for her behind him.
“YOU! You stole my man! I had to take him back! Then you had to get knocked up didn’t you. AH! I did what I had too.”
Violet pointed the gun at them.
“Let her go Bo.”
“NO!”
“See that has always been our issue Bo, you wouldn’t let her go, even after all these years.”
Violet turned the gun towards herself.
“VIOLET DON’T”
Nora closed her eyes and buried her face in his back holding him close she heard the gun go off.  It was silent. Nora gripped Bo to her.
“She’s dead honey.”
She kissed his back. Bo gently removed Nora’s arms from his waist.
“I need to call the station.”
Nora nodded. She looked as saw Violet’s body lying motionless on the floor. She walked over to Bo who was on the phone. He took her into his arms. She put her head on his chest listening to his heart. She loved that sound, it brought her comfort. She closed her eyes and just listened to it. Bo got off the phone he kissed her hair.
“Red we need to dress, the officers will be here soon.”
She let go of him, they kissed gently. Nora found her clothes and dress, she trying not to look at Violet. She got back to the office finding Bo sitting on the couch looking at Violet. She walked over and kissed his head.
“I don’t know how I missed it Red. She was so crazy.”
“Bo she took advantage of you at your lowest moments. Your mother’s death, and when that didn’t work she took what was most important to you. Bo did you actually love her?”
Bo looked at his hands. He whispered.
“No, she was just someone I could use to distract me from losing you. I just wish I would have realized what she was sooner.”
Nora looked out the window as she heard the sirens. She saw them approaching. She went to the door and let the police in.
They took their statements. They watched the coroner take her body. Nora thanked the officers. She walked back in, she found him back in the office. Looking at the pictures Violet had.
“I can’t believe I missed this Red. We could had such an amazing life.”
“Bo we still can.”
Bo looked at her and smiled, he took her hand and kissed it.
“Red, lets get out of this house and find our son.”
She kissed him. They walked out of Bo’s house hand in hand.
 



Chapter 20
5 years have passed since Nora arrived in Llanview.
“MOM! MOM!”
“What Cody?”
“Dad is burning the house down.”
“What!”
Nora runs outside. She laughs.
“Oh Bo what have you done.”
“I umm may have put the grill to close the house.”
“Bo the siding is melted.”
“Well, it gives the house a cool look”
She looks at him. He gave her a half smile. She felt a yanking of her dress.
“Mommy I’m hungry”
Nora reached down and picks up her daughter.
“Well sweetie I think daddy just burned lunch.”
“Hey, no worse than her mother.”
Nora shot him a dirty look.
“Cody can you take your sister and get her something from the kitchen.”
“Sure! Come on short stuff.”
Nora watches with a smile as her children walk into the house together. Nora walks over to Bo. He gives her sheepish look.
“Sorry Red.”
She kissed him.
“It’s ok, I love you.”
“I love you too.”
He puts a hand on her back and pulls her to him. They begin to make out. Bo kisses her neck. Both jump.
“Woah there little one! I just want to kiss you gorgeous mother, no reason to kick me.”
Nora laughed she rubs her stomach.
“Hey the baby just wanted to be remembered.”
Bo kissed her stomach.
“We could never forget you baby.”
Nora put his face in her hands looking in his beautiful eyes.
“I love you so much.”
“I love you too Red.”

The End.
