Ethan's POV “That will be all guys. I have to go now.” I said picking up my suit from the armchair. The board members all stood up. “Thank you Mr Blackwoods. We are sorry for eating into your time.” Harrison the secretary of the board said as he gathered his folders to leave.“You are welcome. Do keep me informed on whatever you guys resolve on the issue as they all head out of my office.I quickly grabbed my suitcase and flung my suit jacket over my shoulder as I followed after them.The meeting with the board wasn't supposed to last this long. I thought it would just take us an hour to finish only to be shocked that it exceeded two hours.It was an emergency meeting by the board called on to discuss Kenneth and Bridget’s position in the company. Since Kenneth was the head of technical department of Blackwoods it was very imperative that we get someone to fill his space. Although it kills me to admit it, he was the best at what he does, so it has been one hell of a task getting so
Alexia’s POV“Thank you once again for allowing me brothers to train with your players. Though they have been preoccupied with studies, I am certain now that the holidays are around the corner they would most likely return to the basketball pitch.” I said, sitting on the chair Ryan pulled out for me. I gave him a sweet smile as I took a look around the dining table “Alexia, you know you don't have to keep thanking me for that every single time we meet,” Nathan said with an eye roll.I smiled gratefully at him as I allowed my gaze to move to each of our friends tonight. Stacey and Ryan are already here, and Nathan and his gorgeous wife too, the only people missing right now are Jeff and his family as well as my husband who is supposed to play host with me for this dinner. Now I understand what the phrase “being late to your party” truly means; because why would Ethan plan a dinner and still be late for the dinner?I take out my phone to call him again for the third time. He still doe
Ethan's POV “You look absolutely ravishing.” I can't help but compliment Alexia. She was the first person my eyes were drawn to the minute I stepped into the dining room. The dress accentuated her curves as it molded to her body like a second skin. Her protruded belly even adds to her allure. “Thank you, but I think my big belly may have ruined the effect. I feel like an inflated balloon.” She whispered disparagingly.“Sweetheart you are the most beautiful pregnant woman I have ever laid my eyes on. I wish you could see that. You look perfect.” I reassured her with a smile, before handing over my suitcase and jacket to Elsie who had been standing dutifully behind us waiting to take them to my room.“Thank you.” “You are welcome sir!” she said hurrying away.I sat on the seat at the head of the table beside Alexia. I only want to ever be beside her. Now seated, I turned my attention to our amazing friends who have honored us by gracing our home with their presence. Friends, I could
Alexia’s POV “Dinner was lovely. I had so much fun. Thank you so much for having us over.” Stacey said as Ethan and I walked Ryan and herself to the door. Both of them are the last to leave after the dinner. Jeff and his family just left a couple of minutes ago, while Nathan and Grace had to leave first because of their daughter.The dinner turned out better than I expected. It was so much fun having all of them around. The teasing, the laughter, the fun, I haven't had that before. I have always been a loner. The only friend I had until Stacey was Bridget and with how badly that friendship turned out I was scared of letting anyone into my space.However, having these guys around for dinner tonight, made me realize that there are still good friends out there and how lucky I am to have them in my corner.“True! Thank you too Alexia darling!” Ryan said, smiling with mischief in his eyes.“Why is it only Alexia getting all the gratitude? What about me? Besides, that's my wife you are ca
Ethan's POV “You hurt me, Ethan, you did. My heart can't handle another betrayal.” Alexia said with a voice filled with pain.The pain in her voice wrenches my guts. I hate myself all over again for being the person responsible for that. “I am deeply sorry for hurting you. I know I have said it before, but I promise you that I will never cause you pain again. I didn't know Linda was such a despicable person.” I confessed honestly.It was the truth. I saw Linda as my childhood friend who had my back. I couldn't have imagined that she would stoop so low to lure me into sleeping with her and even proceed to fake a pregnancy.“Now that I know who she is, I have decided to cut ties with her.” I leaned forward as I wiped the tears flowing down from her cheek with my thumb. “Please stop crying, darling. I feel awful. If you forgive me, I promise I will spend the rest of my life dedicating myself to putting a smile on your face.” I swore meaning everything I said.She peered into my eyes as
Alexia’s POV Sleeping in Ethan's new room was like an extra level of luxury. Since I came back to live with him a month ago I have been staying in the guest room much to Ethan's chagrin.I had told him that I forgave him last night, but the truth I didn't want to admit is that I don't think I could ever not forgive Ethan no matter what he does and that is what scares me.Last night when he knelt before me showing that level of vulnerability I felt emboldened. And then there was that kiss, the way his mouth dominated mine, I couldn't have resisted such intense pleasure even if my life depended on it. The way he touched, knowing the exact spot to touch to turn me on, it was like my body was pulled tight by a string and he was the one holding the string.I grew wet again just remembering how many times he took me as I stretched out upon his soft bed sheets with morning sunlight filtering in through the curtains. He must have gone to work already, I thought.He has always been the morni
Ethan's POV Last night was electric. The sex was exhilarating. Every touch, every orgasm was breathtaking. I lost count of how many times I made Alexia come. Who knew my beautiful angel was a sex minx, even when I wanted to stop so she could rest because of her condition, the little minx wouldn't have that. It was only when the body couldn't take it anymore as exhaustion took over that she finally slept off. I wanted to wake her up this morning to give her a good morning kiss but she was sleeping so beautifully that I couldn't allow myself to disturb her rest. I can't wait to see Alexia. Leaving her sleeping peacefully on my bed this morning was one of the hardest things I have ever done, which is why I left specific instructions to Chloe to tell her to come see me as soon as she arrived.The door to my office opens and the most beautiful woman in the world walks in. She looks so gorgeous. She wore one of the outfits I got for her recently. I never knew seeing a woman put on cloth
Alexia’s POV “Chloe sounded serious when she said you wanted to see me immediately. Did something happen?” I asked while straightening my clothes as I attempted to hide the fact that I just had mind-blowing sex at work.Ethan chuckles in amusement as he watches my poor attempt at discretion.“Darling, I am sorry to say this…” he doesn't appear sorry. “But I think it's too late for that, when everyone within six feet of this office probably heard you screaming my name a few minutes ago.” He grinned in pure male satisfaction.I rolled my eyes at him, huffing in mock indignation at his antics. “Just answer the bloody question Ethan!” I glared at him.“Oops someone is still all tense and worked up, maybe I need to relieve you some more of that pent up energy.” He said, wiggling his eyebrows. He must have noticed how infuriated I am because he immediately added, “Nothing happened, I just wanted to see my wife, besides I was horny and since I can't very well get it from someone else, I ne
