I kept wondering all day while at lunch with Blake’s sisters and through shopping who we were having this dinner with. It has to be someone big for Blake to push off not only his siblings but also a somewhat of a celebration maybe in my head of me saying I was in the relationship. I also kept wondering can I call him my boyfriend now, partner, what I called Blake Sutton now that I could say he was mine. Susan and Mel kept me busy going in and out of stores trying on plenty of items that I didn’t need and also buying many things I wanted. I was normally a lot more practical but I also didn’t have shopping buddies like this before and I did want to fit in with them. Mel and Susan were truly the kindest people I’d ever really got to know. My other shopping buddy Laura was normally pretty brass and never really liked anything that I picked out because our taste was a lot different than each other. Susan and Mel kept it classic, simple, and eloquent all at the same time and I ap
I was in complete shock Stuart and Lynda Resnick were well-known billionaires too many and are Co-Ceos of the Wonderful Company an agriculture company that produces almonds and things such as the POM water. Lynda herself is someone I’d looked up to for years as she left college and started her own advertising company at the age of 19. I couldn’t believe we were having dinner with them and wasn’t entirely sure why. “So judging by your face I take it you know who they are?” “Of course, they are a well-known power couple and are billionaires in their own right. What are we meeting with them for?” “I was trying to make a deal to sell my shares of the Wonderful Company to a couple of board members some of their children. I know Stuart didn’t like me trying to bow out of their company and he found out I was in town and is insistent we meet and now before any sales go through.” “Oh, why did you want out?” Blake shrugged, “It wasn’t be
None of the calls or text messages told me anything to expect. I could tell Kate was worried and I tried to act like it was okay but I think he knew I was worried. I wasn’t sure what we were going to walk in on and the helicopter seemed to be taking forever to back to the beach. It was past 11:00 pm and I wasn’t able to call until we hit the ground but we would be parked fairly close to the beach house. I hoped there was nobody on the beach and it was a quick landing. I had hoped Russ had texted me by now to tell me what was going on and that was even more surprising but maybe my siblings hadn’t alerted Russ to there being an issue. Kate was nervously rubbing my leg and I was grateful she was there. Somehow I knew if she was nearby things would be okay. I had a different idea for our last night at the beach house but we had to figure out what was going on first. I imagined a lot of ideas more so with someone being injured or something happening to my parents maybe. I hoped
The next few hours went quickly as we helped everyone pack and I made contact with my assistant to rearrange a few meetings I had scheduled for Monday. Blake was on the phone to I’m sure rearrange his probably busier schedule. I would be lying to myself at the moment if my nerves weren’t on fire as I tried to focus on Susan and helping everyone else get ready to leave. There wasn’t a great deal to do but I was waiting for hand and foot on Susan so I could distract myself from my nerves. It wasn’t like Blake and me had never done anything before so I kept trying to remind myself of that as well, it’s just we were both older and more experienced and I felt my need for him rising every second. We hugged everyone goodbye besides Russ who so kindly wanted more time with Rosco. I started wondering whose dog he was anymore and also what Russ was doing with him thinking about the things Blake told me. Then there was poor Susan who had at least stopped crying and was determined to g
Blake smiled sneakily as he untied my robe exposing my entire naked body to him. “Blake….” I was trying to plead to him in some form but not sure what just felt a bit self-conscious but the way he licked his lips told me I should not feel uncomfortable. The lotion in his hands warmed to his touch. “Shhhh….You are sore baby but I still want you so bad, let me make this a bit easier on you.” I couldn't stop him at that moment as I was hooked on his naked body peeking from underneath his robe and those seductive eyes looking at me begging me to comply. He started by rubbing lotion on my stomach and then went up to the top of my breasts, encircling them and making sure to pay extra attention and gentleness to my nipples moving his fingers around and over them lightly pinching a bit as he went. He slowly examined each one causing me to moan to his touch and arch my back as my body started to take over with desire. He took advantage of me arching my back, reaching and rubbing my l
We ordered way too much Chinese food but still ate a great deal outside by the fire pit. Blake started a fire and we sat and talked a bit just about life, college, and getting to know each other a bit more without any way getting in our way. It was one of the best days I’d ever had with anyone and it was quite relaxing as we watched out to the ocean it turned to even with the waves still visible and crashing. “It's like this out here on Sunday nights and weekdays,” Blake says. “Why is that?” I ask “All the weekend vacationers are gone and it is a ghost town. There are hardly any people here. I know my neighbors beside us at least two houses down both ways are all gone.” I was pondering that it was a very still and quiet night when I felt Blakes's hand start going up my dress. I did as promised and wore a simple blue sundress with a cardigan to keep warm in the ocean breeze. I was really surprised he’d done as I’d asked to and was only weari
I woke up to Blake breathing deeply on my neck and saw when I peeked open my eyelids that the sun had already risen. I wondered when we were scheduled to leave today and worried we might end up late if we lay here sleeping much longer. As I lay there pondering the fact I was already hungry again and could now start to feel the soreness in my legs from straddling so many times his large muscular body of Blake’s reminded me of how long it felt like I’d waited to feel like this with someone. I squirmed ever so slightly and felt Blake’s arms wrap tighter around me for a moment as if he was scared I’d leave him. As he pressed up against me harder, I could feel the friendly extension of his body starting to rise to touch my ass. Not wanting to waste the opportunity, I decided to seize the moment as my inner sexual being told me to and was slowly able through some wiggling able to turn myself to face Blake as I ran my hands up and down his body. I noticed that his sides especially
We made it to the airport early but not really at the time Russ wanted to. I could tell he was bothered slightly about this but did seem to forgive us by the time we’d arrived at the plane. I wore a comfy tennis skirt, and a comfy shirt and put on another cardigan so I was super ready for our 4-hour flight. I was surprised by Blake’s outfit choices as he wore a simple black t-shirt and faded jeans. Rosco was so happy and even better behaved than before which seemed a little off to me but I was glad to have my happy little companion back as we settled in for the flight. In the larger couch area, Blake and I snuggled and Russ made his way to the pilots. “We should arrive back around 5:00 pm.” I just nodded and started to dig into Russ’s treats he had brought us. I was hungry and offered one to Blake too. Russ had given specific directions on what to eat first because both seemed almost like pastries. Russ even came prepared with a small container to save some for Mrs. Flora
Blake and I hugged and kissed for quite some time engulfed in what kind of commitment we just made to each other. To be honest I couldn’t be more ecstatic when Blake grabbed my hand and said we needed to go see everyone for our dinner plans. I knew he had thought of everything as he walked me through our spacious outside area and onto one of our terracotta patios streamed with lights above and now placed was a large table with all of our friends and family including Blake’s parents and also Laura! I thought she had been extended a week and I ran over to her instantly giving her a giant hug as everyone stood up and clapped and yelled congratulations. “I thought you were in the hospital for another week.” “Eh, I couldn’t help but surprise you!” She laughed and we hugged again. “Kate I’m so happy for you and thank you for showing me what happiness really could be. I have one more surprise for you.” “What is that? Are you alright?” I cou
The rest of the week flew by with Mrs. Flora and Tiffany mainly taking up my time. It was amazing how fast Tiffany was working and our Master Bedroom was practically complete with maybe a few touches here and there. When I complimented her on how fast she was working she only shrugged and said this is what is expected if you work with Blake Sutton. I had to agree with that as Blake moved quickly. He spent much of his time now in our Master Bedroom in the afternoon with me doing what work he allowed me to do lying in bed on my laptop. We spent our evenings many times with Mrs. Flora and Russ having dinner and it stopped feeling like Russ ever worked for Blake just more friends. Laura’s hospital stay was extended another week as her wrist fracture developed an infection but she was more upbeat than I’d heard in a while. The biggest news on that front was that Jason had stopped over in the middle of the week looked at the other apartment and said he was moving in. Bla
I woke up the next morning at the same time I normally do for work 5:00 AM and started out taking a quick shower alongside Blake which was very businesslike in Blake’s mind as he informed me we had to wait until later for any good time action. Then I focused on work for several hours before Blake gave me at least a passionate kiss before leaving. On-time of his leave I started doing some research so I’d be ready for the designer to come around 9:00 AM for a light breakfast while we discuss some color schemes and plans. Time snuck up on me quickly and before I know it Alice was asking me to come down to the dining table where the designer was. I wore comfy clothes again, simple leggings and a nice sweater that allowed my sports bra to stick out but were oh so snuggly which is something I needed at the moment. I walked in and felt completely underdressed as the designer was dressed to the nines with calf size Black healed boots and a beautiful brown suit. I realized I
The new housekeeper Anna was amazing and the food was delicious. I had to give it to Russ and Blake they knew how to pick people to do their bidding. I spent the night talking to Blake and walking through our new home trying to decide certain things we wanted to have to happen such as an office space in our bedroom that could be utilized for two if needed. The face was that work was important to us, especially now and we wanted to still be able to be close to the other, plus at this point, we were both getting pretty used to working side by side at home. I worried about my apartment mates and especially Laura but I was able to send her a few messages and found out she wouldn’t be getting out for a few more days. Now that we were able to talk I learned that she had suffered several broken ribs, a broken wrist, and ankle, and way too many scars emotionally and physically. Still, the way Laura talked about Jason I was hopeful she might just accept an offer to live in our
I wake up and realize Blake is snuggling against me and look down to see Rosco must have gone for his adventure outside. I love the idea of him being outside whenever he wants now and there are no more worries for anyone. I can’t help but embrace this luxury of the many luxuries that have been coming right along with us. Feeling Blake against me I take in his warmth and muscular arms and I start realizing that everything is going to be okay if I want it to be. I take a minute and push back all my fears and worries from the last week and turn myself to Blake. He is lightly nappy so I know I could wake him up if I wanted. I feel his chiseled jaw and outline it with my hands and then go down his black muscle shirt pulling it up and allowing my hands to go over his beautiful six-pack. I can’t help but think to myself this man is secretly a model or something and know this is why all those magazines call him one of the most eligible bachelors. I realize I should take mor
We pulled up to 1500 Lakeshore Drive and I was in shock at how large the building was. I hadn’t even realized that the penthouse was on the 21st Floor and although it didn’t seem as high as some buildings it was pretty large because most of the apartments had vaulted ceilings. We walked up to the door and were greeted instantly by a very well-dressed doorman. He was very polite and asked to guide us to our new home. Second, later the building manager was there greeting us and extending his invitation to come with us as well. We were also already extended a co-op invitation by the board members who make the decisions on who officially gets to live in said building. It was a bit much but I had to admit it seemed like everyone wanted to cater to us rather than upset us and I knew they were all pleased that Blake Sutton of Sutton Enterprises was living in their building. I felt a bit underdressed for the door greeting as I’d just gotten out of the hospital and was weari
“We are looking for the impossible!” I shoved the computer further down my lap in frustration as I sat on my hospital bed. Blake and I had been looking at homes online for the last day. I was almost excited at the process but there were some not-so-easy requirements that we both agreed needed to be met. Blake didn’t want to live in the suburbs he wanted to be in the city but that also made it difficult to find some yard space for Rosco. Both of us agreed on the idea that Rosco needed a yard and I was grateful that Blake could get on board with that plus there were a lot of other things we were looking for or should I say Blake was looking for. Suddenly the guy who lived in a storage room bedroom as I called it now wanted space for at least 4 vehicles and he had to have a living space for Russ plus if he wanted to have other security available or personnel he wanted them to have options. I had no idea how that was possible but he kept looking at these insanely priced homes that were
It has been two days since and I was recovering nicely. I was being pumped full of antibiotics to ensure my body did not get an infection from the bullet. I also was doing physical therapy and was able to do most everything easily at this point despite the pain. I was determined to not allow Curtis Montgomery to have any more of me and with any luck, I’d be out by Sunday is what the doctors told me. Blake had been amazing and so supportive. He brought me everything I could use for work and even though the doctors wanted me to rest I still took plenty of opportunities to respond to e-mails, approve projects and set up meetings for next week. I know the doctors frowned on it but even Blake tried to tell them that it would stress me out more if I was too behind at work. I was grateful for how great he was even though part of me felt guilty for how much time I was taking away from his work. He wouldn’t even listen to me though about being alone and he refused to leave from more than t
My eyes burned and it was difficult to open them. I tried to slowly feel around to figure out where I was and what was happening. As soon as I started to open my eyes I felt my hand being grabbed. “Kate, Kate are you waking up? Nurse, she is waking up!” “Blake?” My eyes burned but I finally was able to open them up. I started thinking I might have been in a car wreck or something but my memories started floating in quickly almost too quickly and my eyes started crying. “It's me, Kate. Kate my sweet don’t cry.” I heard other voices walk in and one asked for Blake to walk away. “Please don’t leave me, Blake.” “I won’t Kate I will just be right of here why they check you out.” I started to focus my eyes and saw what looked like a physician and two nurses checking my vitals. “Hello, Kate I’m Dr. Buchannan. You gave us quite a scare there! You didn’t want to wake up from surgery.” “Surge
