The love of a Mr. CEO

“Way to bruise a man’s ego” he replies with a chuckle getting off me much to my disappointment. I get off the bed and walk into the closet before coming back out with a dress to wear after my shower.

“While you pout about your bruised ego, I’m gonna go freshen up, you’re welcome to join me” I tell him over my shoulder teasingly. I walk into the bathroom, leaving the door open in case he wanted to come in. I take off my shirt and was about to unclasp my bra until I felt a presence behind me.

“Are you sure I can join you mia cara” Ivan whispers huskily into my ear and I nod trying to seem unaffected before turning around to face him. I grab the waistline of his sweats and pull it down leaving him in his boxers. He reaches his arms behind me to unclasp my bra making it fall to the floor in a pool with the rest of our clothes. We continue to undress each other until we both stood nude.

I step into the shower with Ivan and I turn on the hot water making the shower fog up immediately. I feel my muscles begin to relax but my body was still on fire from Ivan’s heated gaze. I grab the shampoo and walk towards Ivan going on my tippy toes, my breasts brushing against his naked chest teasingly making him groan.

“You’re killing me mia cara” Ivan replies, his voice strained causing me to smirk.

“Then lean down so I can wash your hair” I retort innocently and he obliges. The rest of the shower was spent with us washing each other and me teasingly brushing myself against him or leaning down to wash my legs suggestively. Anytime he made an attempt to grab me, I would casually side step making his frustration grow. We get out of the shower, each wrapped in a fluffy towel and we walk back into the room together.

“That was relaxing don’t you think” I ask him while happily drying my body with the towel.

“Aside from how sexually frustrated I am, then yes it was” he replies sarcastically making me chuckle.

“Guess we’re even then” I spoke nonchalantly while pulling on my undergarments.

“What do you mean love” Ivan asked me confused coming over once he was half dressed.

“Remember yesterday” I reply pointedly having a flashback of yesterday in the closet. Realization crosses his features once he puts two and two together. I smirk at him before leaving him to pull on my dress and shoes.

For today, I decided to go for a casual look, choosing a creme colored dress that had pastel tones on it. For shoes, I decided on a pair of flats, not in the mood to walk around in heels all day. I put my in a side braid, taking out pieces to frame my face. Walking back out, I see Ivan fully clothed while tying his tie around his neck. I walk over to the bed and take a seat deciding on going bare faced today. Once he’s done, he shrugs on his coat before turning to look at me with a nervous look.

“There’s a gala coming up in a week in honor of a friend of mine and I was wondering if you’d like to accompany me as my date” he asks, nervously running his fingers through his hair awaiting my response. I ponder the idea of going to the gala with Ivan, which would possibly cause an uproar in the media and have people bubbling with curiosity.

“I’d love to go with you to the gala Ivan” I tell him and watch as his nervous expression changes to one of relief. He picks me up and spins me a few times making me giggle. He sets me down gently on the ground, our expressions mirroring our content.

“Did you think I’d say no” I ask him curiously wanting to know why he was surprised at my compliance.

“To be honest, yes I did because you’re always telling me how much you dislike being in the public eye and I was bracing myself for your answer” he tells me sobering up and I nod in understanding.

“Although I really do hate being the center of attention, I’ve come to terms with dating a well known CEO and I will try my best to keep up with your hectic life even if it means getting out of my comfort zone more than I already have. I will support you for however long you allow me to” I confess to him walking over and placing my arms around his neck to show him my support.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“You’re truly an angel mia cara” he tells me grinning before leaning down to capture my lips in a kiss. I smile as our lips move together in unison, the passion we had for each other evident. I pull away and lean my forehead against his taking the time to take in his expression.

“We should get going now” I whisper to him reluctantly and he nods taking my hand as we walk down the stairs to the front door. I step out and wait as Ivan locks the door before continuing to make our way to the limo. Getting in, I scoot over a bit to give Ivan some room but snuggle up to him once he’s sitting down. I breathe in his scent and smile as he wraps his arms around my waist.

“Who’s your friend that’s being honored at the gala next week” I ask him wanting to get more information about his circle.

“Her name is Simone Pierre and she’s being honored for her charitable work abroad. She’s been traveling the world to donate to the less fortunate and working with them to better their communities. Not to mention she’s also a well known model” he fills me in and I gape at the knowledge.

“She seems like my kind of gal” I tell him smiling before adding “what’s the color scheme for ensembles” wanting to know what I should wear to the gala.

“The colors are gold and maroon but no worries, I can have a dress custom made for you” he says dismissively and I shake my head.

“It’s fine, I have a dress in mind I can wear that way it’ll be a surprise” I tell him with a wink as the car slows down to a stop in front of Stone Industries. Ivan gets out and extends a hand for me to take as I get out of the limo. We walk into the building together but part ways as I go to grab him a coffee. Walking through the cafe, I wait in line and quickly order, grabbing the hot beverage once it was ready. As I was walking through the cafe and back to the lobby, I’m approached by Melissa.

“Well look what the cat dragged in” Melissa says, snobbishly looking down on me.

“Yeah did it hurt” I ask feigning concern and watch as her smirk turns into a scowl.

“Just because you’re Mr. Stone’s assistant doesn’t mean you’re better then me” she whines in a bitter tone.

“Well I certainly didn’t spill coffee on a CEO’s lap, so I think that already makes me better then you” I retort sarcastically, watching her face turn red in anger.

“It was an accident damn it” she shouts stomping her foot and getting the attention of several employees.

“While you have your little tantrum, I’m gonna go assist Mr. Stone” I tell her putting emphasis on assist before walking away towards the elevators. I quietly wait as the elevator ascends to the top floor before getting out and walking into Ivan’s office.

“What took you so long mia cara” he asks me while taking the coffee at of my hand.

“I had a little run in with Melissa on my way up here” I tell him dismissively, taking a seat in front of him and leaning my elbow against his table.

“Is she bothering you because I can take care of it, all you need to do is tell me” he asks worriedly making me smile.

“She’s like an annoying pet that barks but doesn’t bite, no worries I can handle it” I respond and he nods before getting into business mode.

“So for today I need you to analyze our investment profit and type up a quick summary explaining our weakest/strongest areas. Then I will need you to go down to Connor’s office to pick up some papers I need to sign. Sound good?” he asks me and I give him a curt nod before heading straight to work.

I begin by pulling up the profit on my laptop and quickly analyzing it before writing the summary. I made sure to include some opinion on what areas I felt were beginning to lack before hitting print. I went over to the printer and grabbed the freshly printed stack of paper, walking it over to set on Ivan’s desk. He looks up to give me a quick smile and goes back to work while I walk out of the office to find Connor. I walked through the hallways several times trying to find Connor when I accidentally bump into someone. I brace myself for the impact but it never comes.
