Alexia’s POV I woke up this morning feeling sore as my entire body aches in a good way. I had sex with Ethan last night, was my first thought as I stretched languidly on the bed. I never thought sex could be that explosive and so pleasurable. Ethan does know his way around a woman's body. After four rounds, I lost count of the number of times he made me orgasm. Now I understand why people make sex a big deal, especially when your partner knows how to make your body sing in ecstasy. I feel so alive and I don't regret giving my virginity to Ethan. Ethan’s side of the bed is empty as usual. I know he has already gone to the office. He is such a morning person, knowing, I thought, smiling as I heaved myself up from the bed. My hand catches on something sharp at the edge of the bed, I stand to investigate. My face breaks into a wide smile as I see the red tulips Ethan must have gotten delivered to me. I picked the flowers and brought them to my nose to inhale their sweet scent, feelin
Ethan's POV “We have implemented the plan to sniff out the individual or individuals selling my ideas to our competition,” I said.“Wow, that's awesome!” Alexia exclaimed excitedly. I guess her eyes lit up in excitement.I can't see her expression though, because with the way she is positioned on my lap, she is sitting at an angle facing Ryan and her back is to me and that makes me feel a little tense and irrationally jealous. I love watching Alexia whenever I can. I love the way her eyes light up whenever she is excited or flustered, and the way she crinkles her eyes when she is deep in thought or confused about something. My special favorite is watching how her eyes sparkle when she orgasms. I could get lost just staring and admiring her.She is just so real and I love the way she wears her emotions on her face, completely different from the Ladies I dated in the past, who were masters of pretense.I thought having sex with her would get her out of my system. Rather than get her o
Alexia’s POV I am still reeling from shock from all Ethan has revealed. How could his father put him in a position of competing with his cousin for something that should ordinarily be his birthright? I wondered as I walked back to my desk.Honestly, apart from the fact that the CEO position is supposed to be Ethan's by birthright, I also know without a single doubt that more than anyone else, Ethan deserves to be made CEO. He has all it takes to make a good CEO as he is damn good at what he does. Nobody can deny that he has invested so much into the growth of Blackwoods company and to make him compete for it is not fair at all. Ryan left about 30 minutes ago. I think he has some sort of emergency at his office because he left in a hurry.I resolve within myself to ensure I do everything within my power to help Ethan get the CEO position. With that decision firmly in my mind, I decided to put a call through to Lukas Rodriguez's office.I go through my call log and find the number wit
Alexia’s POV “I am so sorry I couldn't come see you yesterday, but Ken and I were in the middle of something. I'm sure you understand” Bridget said with a smile as she leaned casually on my desk. She doesn't even sound in any way remorseful. “So what did you want to talk to me about?” She asked excitedly like everything was perfect. It's almost like my feelings of hurt don't even seem to register in her mind or am I the one misconstruing her reaction? I was confused. “Oh! It was nothing, really.” I straightened the papers on my desk in an attempt to make myself busy. Hoping Bridget will take the hint and go away. I need some time to get over her actions and I am not one to pretend and gloss over issues rather than confronting them head on. “You didn't sound like it was nothing, when you called” she pressed. Oh right, so she very well knew I was in a desperate need to talk to her and she decided to pick a quickie over her best friend who was having a mental breakdown. “It
Alexia POVThe ride to the Rodriguez office was a short one. I made Jeff drop me off at two blocks before the Rodriguez company complex and told him I would give him a call when I am done. I didn't want him knowing I came here to see Lukas, he may report it to Ethan. Though I am not necessarily doing anything bad, I still don't think Ethan would support my meeting with Lukas. I'm doing this for his sake, I reminded myself as I walked into the building.The Rodriguez complex was easy to navigate as every office interconnected. After giving my name through the wireless intercom, I was buzzed in. Walking into Lukas’s office, I expected to see the P.A I spoke with earlier occupying a space adjoining Lukas office just like my space at Ethan's office, only to notice that wasn't the set up of Lukas office. This office is singularly his.His office space is large and luxurious with Italian leathers and all. Pictures of himself and those I presume are his family lined the walls. This is a man
Ethan's POV “That was an awesome shot, man,” Nate said, slapping me on the back, as we headed to the bench to catch some much needed rest. Nathan and I have been friends since college. He has played basketball from state to national level. He only retired recently to start scouting and coaching upcoming basketball stars.“Thanks man! Kudos to the boys too.” It's been months since I last played the game, I still scored the winning goal. No basketball game can be won without the effort of the entire team and so I made sure the boys knew it was a communal success.“I miss you on the court, Ethan. You should be coming out more often” Nate commented immediately we sat our ass on the bench.“I miss playing basketball too. I have been choked up with work lately. Maybe after the company’s end of year party I would be more consistent in the game.” Pulling off my sweaty T-shirt and placing it on my sports bag before putting on the extra one I always keep in one of the lockers here.“Take it ea
Alexia POV It's been two weeks since my meeting with Lukas Rodriguez and it's been a week since my brothers resumed basketball. I owe Ethan my gratitude for it. How he was able to get my brothers to play basketball again,after just one conversation still surprises me. Something I have been trying to do all these years without much headway, he achieved it in less than an hour. I feel a bit envious.Apart from getting my brothers to join Nathan's boys, Ethan has been so sweet since we became serious with our relationship. He showers me with gift at every opportunity he has. Waking up to flowers is now a routine. I had to tell him to cut back on the flowers yesterday. The flowers are almost covering the entire room, if he doesn't stop, soon there will be no space in the room. The sex has been nothing short of explosive. Who knew being in a relationship with Ethan could be this amazing.“Where are you headed?” Ethan asked, distracting me from my personal epiphany.“Today is the boys fir
Alexia's POV “I missed you so much darling!” Ryan exclaimed excitedly, pulling me into a hug as soon as Ethan and I stepped into the VIP booth.“I can see that” I said with a laugh as I pulled away from his embrace. He is dressed in denim jeans and a black T-shirt unlike Ethan and I that are still on our work attire.“My friend over there...." he pointed at Ethan who is standing beside me and watching Ryan and I with a look of amusement. “...has been selfishly keeping you to himself.” He pouted, taking my left hand in his and escorting us to our seats on the first row. I guess being friends with the coach has some perks, I thought with a smile. Ethan doesn't even respond to Ryan's dig, he just rolled his eyes at him.“I don't think he was intentionally keeping me away, we've just been busy with work” I said in Ethan's defense.“You guys are late and I am sure your lateness has something to do with his addiction to work” Ryan snorted, still wearing that trouble making smile of his.“
