Falling for the CEO 7 years before
I had fallen asleep somewhere between making love, and talking and felt utterly exhausted. The last thing I remember was him pulling his satin sheets on top of us as he held me in his arms. “Mmmmm…I didn’t know what satin feels like before. I like it.” I said sleepily. I feel his hand rub my hair. “If I have anything to do with it my sweet Kate that is all you will feel then if you like it.” He said so sweetly and lovingly. I snuggled deeper into him and found myself drifting off until exhaustion. I woke up and realized I was all alone in the bed and rolled over to look for Blake. There was a small note and rose laying on the bed beside me. Wow, he is good I thought. I looked at the note. My sweet Kate. I had to run an errand but I’ll be back. I already washed your clothes and they are drying. Go ahead and take a shower and get dressed. I will make you breakfast when I get back. P.S. You are incredible! Blake I found myself just smil
Falling for the CEO Fast Forward
Back to the present and I’d somehow managed to get myself into my office to compose myself one more time this morning. After thinking back on it all I still was baffled by what was happening. The guy who opened me open to every desire I’d ever wanted, ditches me 7 years ago and now is telling me I can’t even quit my job because he has submerged himself in my company. He is insistent he will follow me wherever I go. I think about leaving out the door while everyone else is in the meeting but I realize that won’t work because with the amount of money he has there really isn’t anywhere I can run. I could get on a plane and take off to another country. How would that work? How do I get Rosco to another country? What about this company that I loved and gave everything to? It finally hits me with all my options flying in my head. This is it I am trapped until I can figure out why my one-night stand CEO won’t let me escape. I take a few more deep breaths and head to the “big” meeting and see
Falling for the CEO Blakes POV
The doubt I was starting to feel about winning her over was starting to become overwhelming. It was a struggle to figure out how to resolve the anger she was now feeling towards me for taking her company away. I was so frustrated because Mr. Johnson hadn’t mentioned making Kate a partner until this morning and now I saw I had completely blindsided her. I could feel my insides aching for her because she felt helpless and that wasn’t something I had planned to do to her. I needed to think of a way to help her feel like she was in control again and fast before there was no chance for my hopes of us coming together to work. I debated after the conference meeting about following her back to her office but after my last attempt, I just asked for the conference room for a minute to make a few calls. That first attempt to say the least was a shit show. Did I tell her she couldn’t quit or leave because I would follow her wherever she went? She had to hate me for that. I walked
Falling for the CEO Lunch
I looked up after hearing the knock on my door. Frowning to myself when I realized that these darn offices didn’t have windows. I checked the time, 11:30 am. Everyone should be at their celebratory lunch at this moment. I stood up and went towards the door unsure of what I would find. There he stood leaning on the door frame. “I grabbed a truce lunch,” he said without a grin for once. I looked down in his arms were two bags from Sal’s deli down the street. The smells from the deli started flowing into my nose and I had to admit I was starving from missing breakfast, dry heaving in the trash basket, and just overall wanting to self-soothe after the morning’s takeover. I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to do at this moment but I knew I really wanted that sandwich and it seemed I was stuck to dealing with this horrible situation anyways so what was the point of turning it down? “Which one is I mine?” He grinned then as he had just caught me. Ugh! “This one,
Falling for the CEO Home
The rest of the day was a blur and I just put a game face on that at this point in my life I was so used to having a “game” face compared to how you felt. It was easy to do considering all the many awkward conversations I’d had to have in the past with coworkers, dates, and the hellish family day Mr. Johnson always put on twice a year. Having to explain to so many people so many times that it was just me and nobody else got easier and I was able to numb myself to a lot of things. My counselor always said it wasn’t healthy but it felt a hell of a lot healthier than crying all day long because if I looked at it, I was alone and had been this way for a very long time. Nowadays it was easy to turn me on robotic and I learned a long time ago thanks to college speeches, work presentations, and the occasional work conversations I was able to do it without even thinking. That is why I’d always practiced every presentation so much that I could say and do it with no thought invol
Falling for the CEO The visit - Blake POV
Pulling up in my black Cadillac SUV, I was already feeling uncomfortable as this neighborhood was very near the poorest part of the city. Not that I was judging the people who lived here, it was more bothersome to me that Kate lived here. I realized I had gotten to her small apartment complex right next to a small convenience store. I will say although in a bad part of the neighborhood this apartment complex seemed better than most with a well-maintained brick outside a cement porch with cement railing you could sit on that was currently occupied by an elder darker man and a younger man of the same color who appeared to have just completed work at some factory as he was in his blue uniform still and was covered in dirt and oil. I glanced over to the right and in between the convenience store and the apartment building appeared to be a gated community garden which did at least present itself as one of the better buildings I’d driven by. I dressed casually in some denim jeans and a black
Falling for the CEO The visit - Kate's POV
I couldn’t stop laughing and bent down to great Rosco my happy little dog. I looked up at Blake and he looked at me in horror. “What the hell Kate? You leave your window open and your dog just pops in?” I could sense my laugh filling my belly and to be honest I needed it after the last few days. “The window leads to the fire escape and the fire escape leads to the apartment’s community garden.” I stood up and walked over motioning for him to look at the window himself. Rosco just circulated his tail waiting for Blake to pay attention. He walked over and I didn’t realize how close I’d allowed him to get to me. I could smell his cologne again and my loins groaned to be nearer him. Keep it together Kate, I told myself. He turned around and looked at me and appeared appalled. “Do you know how unsafe this is? Kate this is not okay. I don’t like it.” Here we go again as I crossed my arms to show him I wasn’t budging. “It’s not your choice and i
Falling for the CEO Moving Day
The office was dark when I walked in and so very quiet. I had prepared for moving so I just wore some flat-soled boots, black slacks, and a satin grey blouse just in case the day took me somewhere different. Sure enough, as I walked around it looked as if my office was the only one that had anything left in it. I guess everyone was ready for the change. I walked into my office looked around noticing 2 very large boxes already inside and thought I could probably get everything into them. The problem was that mini-fridge of mine, how do I get that moved? It took both Mike and Chris to help me get it here and I thought about doing the same maybe I just don’t have my fridge at work anymore. As I stood there pondering I heard the elevator coming up, and walked over to the entrance to see who was coming as I had thought it might just be Blake coming to rescue me as he suggested yesterday. My heart started pounding with every step thinking about last night again and how badly I wanted to feel
