The love of a Mr. CEO

“Watch were you’re going their firecracker, you almost ran right through me” Connor jokes pulling me up as I step out of his embrace.

“My fault you seem to disappear when I need you” I snap adjusting my dress to hide my embarrassment.

“If you needed me that much all you had to do was ask” Connor replies suggestively, adding a wink at the end.

“You’re officially the most arrogant, perverted person I’ve ever met” I exclaim throwing my hands up. Connor laughs at my reaction and I punch him making him yelp in surprise.

“Damn women, no need to go ape shit on me” he mutters, rubbing his now sore arm.

“Just give me the papers for Mr. Stone so I can be on my way” I nag him as he straightens up and hands me a stack of papers.

“I was just on my way to his office but thank god I don’t have to anymore” he says relaxing slightly.

“He’s not that bad you know” I explain to him feeling slightly defensive.

“This is coming for the same girl who wanted to strangle him a few weeks ago” he asks while chuckling and I shake my head in response.

“I don’t know why I even bother with you” I mutter before turning on my heels to walk away.

“Admit you love me firecracker” he yells behind me and I flip him the bird before continuing down to Ivan’s office. I walk in to see Ivan leaning against his desk with Melissa’s hand all over his chest. I stop abruptly in the doorway before they could see me and hide against the wall.

“Come on baby, what we had was special” I hear Melissa say causing me to fume in jealously.

“Melissa, we were never a thing and I made that very clear to you before we slept together” Ivan replies sounding frustrated. My heart drops slightly at the sudden realization and I straighten up once I hear silence before walking into the office. They both spin around to face me and Ivan pushes her off him but I pay them no attention.

“I got the papers you wanted Mr. Stone” I inform him curtly, setting them down on the table before adding “am I dismissed for the day”

“Yes you are, great work today” he says hesitantly and we stare at each other for a moment before I break eye contact. I gather my things in my hand and make my way to the door before stopping to turn around.

“Oh and Melissa” I say getting her attention.

“What is it skank” she asks me glaring and I brush off her insult.

“Desperately presuming a guy who doesn’t want you is a major turn off now a days” I snap at her making it evident to the two of them that I heard their conversation before walking out with my heart hurting.

I make my way into the elevator and hit the close button but not before seeing Ivan rushing towards the elevators. I get to the lobby and walk out without looking at anyone wanting to get to my car before Ivan came after me. I get into my car that’s been sitting in the parking lot for a couple of days before starting the engine and driving off. I make it home in ten minutes and I run to my apartment, shutting the door behind me before a tear caresses my cheek. I wipe it away knowing I was overreacting but couldn’t shake off the ache in my heart. I’m startled by my phone ringing and pick it up knowing it was probably Ivan.

“Hello” I say into the phone, my voice coming out slightly hoarse.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

” Mia cara, have you been crying” Ivan asks through the phone sounding worried.

“No I haven’t, why did you call me while at work” I ask trying to change the subject.

“Because I know you’re upset, so I’m halfway to your house to make you feel better” he tells me apologetically and my heart flutter stupidly.

“Whatever” I mutter before hanging up and waiting anxiously for his arrival.

Staying true to his words, Ivan arrived within ten minutes. I wiped my tear stained cheeks before opening the door to come face to face with Ivan. His worried expression changes to one of pain as he steps in and immediately engulfs me in a hug.

“Mia cara why are you so upset” he asks picking me up and carrying me to the living room. He takes a seat in the couch and adjusts me onto his lap so that I was facing him.

“Seeing her all over you made me realize you could leave me at any given moment” I reply ashamed at how much I was overreacting. His colossal hands rest on each side of my face as he looks at me determined.

“Listen to me Amelia, I will never leave you nor do I ever want to” he proclaims sincerely making yet another tear caress my cheek.

“Why wouldn’t you, I mean everyone else has” I snap before realizing what I said. I watch as his expression changes to understanding and I wait for his response.

“You’re afraid of losing people you care about” he says once he puts everything together. I nod reluctantly and he pulls me into a passionate kiss. Our lips move in sync for a few moments before I pulls away.

“All my life I’ve had to deal with people I care about leaving me. Anytime something got too complicated or too bland for them they’d just pack their bags and abandon me to fix it. Sierra’s been the only one their to get me back on my feet and smiling again. With you I actually feel like the old me who didn’t have a care in the world and had the biggest heart. I guess I’m just afraid of you leaving once you realize how broken I really am” I confess to him looking into his eyes. I watch as his eyes darken slightly and his grip on my hips tighten.

“No matter how broken you may think you are, all I see is a genuine hearted woman who’s too kind for her own good and so beautiful it hurts me to look away. You’ve given purpose to my otherwise boring life. You are my angel and my heart beats for you alone. Mia cara you are stronger than you think, you just have to believe in it” he tells me, every word laced with truth and sincerity. He leans in to kiss me on the forehead before saying the three words that I’ve been waiting for.

“Mia cara, I love you” Ivan whispers and I grin from ear to ear at his declaration.

“I love you too corazon” I tell him genuinely and I watch as his eyes light up in happiness.

“You don’t know how long I’ve waited to hear you say that” he tells me gleefully before capturing my lips in yet another kiss. The kiss begins to get heated as he runs his tongue across my bottom lip and I moan while granting him access. We continue to kiss as he lays me down on the couch while getting on top of me. I bring my hands up to grip his hair, tugging slightly eliciting a growl that goes straight to my core. He pulls away and I whimper at the loss of contact.

“Mia cara, we have to stop or I won’t be able to restrain myself” he tells me strained and I lift myself up to grind into his pelvis slowly.

“Who said I wanted you to stop” I question seductively and he curses before getting off me to throw me over his shoulder. He carries me up the stairs as I laugh at his eagerness. We get into my room and he throws me on the plush bed before getting on top of me yet again.

“Are you sure about this love” he asks me and I nod hungrily knowing fully well that he didn’t want to stop.

“Make me yours corazon” I reply in a lower voice making me sound breathy. His eyes darken even more before he rips my dress off my body, leaving me in only my undergarments. He wanders my body with his eyes for a few minutes before lowering himself to my lips. Our lips move together aggressively as his hands roam over my body. He reaches behind me to unclasp my bra and flings it to the side before kissing me again.
