Falling for the CEO Date
I ducked out early after having Monique schedule an appointment with the stylist on the lower floor complete with makeup and hair. I couldn’t help spoil myself a little because I didn’t do much and truly wanted to look my best tonight because it was our official first date. Well, since I said I was “All in”. Blake gave me till 6 pm so I had roughly about 3 hours to pick a dress, get ready, and get my makeup and hair. I was happy it was the same stylist and they went to work right away. I selected a black dress because it was of course a little black dress always made a woman feel good. It was form-fitting and went right above my knee up. The top had shoulder straps with cuts out around the shoulders and right around the front where my cleavage was another cutout. The sleeves went down to the elbow and then flared out into a lengthy ruffle. I selected high-heeled strappy sandals and knew my stylist would take care of the rest for accessories. I was happy with my outfit and went righ
Falling for the CEO Date Continued
We got off the boat and made our way back to the car. “Where are we going now?” I checked the time and it was around 9:00 PM. “Kate I want to surprise you.” Blake smiled and kissed my cheek. “Okay then.” I smiled and looked out at the city pondering my fears and why I couldn’t just tell Blake what I felt but it was a bit difficult. Blake leaned in and looked out the same window as me leaning his head on my shoulder, “So what are we looking at?” “Just admiring the city.” I snickered. “Goofball.” “Goofball?” He gave me a quick tickle in my ribs and made me laugh harder. “Okay, I surrender.” Putting my hands up. “Careful I will take that surrender as a lot more.” He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me locking me into an almost high school make-out session. Blake slowly started making his hand up my dress and I wasn’t doing a very good job of stopping him.
Falling for the CEO After Effects
I was in complete shock and unsure of what to say. Blake had just said those three little words that most women would swoon about Blake Sutton saying to them and instead I looked at him in horror and pushed him away. I started getting my clothes on and talking quickly about nothing. First I started talking about the plants then the beautiful glass lily pads and then at one point I stuffed a strawberry in my mouth then started to try and clean them up. Blake slowly watched me the whole time I’m sure wondering what the hell was wrong with me and I couldn’t blame him I didn’t even know what was wrong with me. I knew from the corner of his eye he started putting his clothes on and I stood up struggling to get my dress zipped back up. “I just can’t seem to get this dress zipped back up. You know did we see all the rooms in this place? I’d like to go see all the rooms. I’ve never been here before and it is so beautiful. We should go see all the rooms.” I could feel a few t
Falling for the CEO Desperation
I cried myself to sleep and felt just as awful as I’d felt the very first day Blake Sutton had come back into my life. I felt like in some ways I was reliving this pain only this time it had nothing to do with a one-night stand or him ditching me. It was all me. I’d let him slip through my fingers by holding in my real feelings. The way I felt I knew I’d held back the ultimate truth but now I felt like I’d ruined it forever and there was no turning back from my stupidity. I didn’t like who I was and I didn’t want this feeling in me. I fell asleep alone with my inner problems and woke up with the same inner problems. When I woke up I checked my phone and was surprised to see I had a few text messages that I surfed through as I ate my guilty cereal because nothing felt better than shoving my face full of food at that moment. One was from Monique with a quick question about a meeting to schedule for next week. Another from Susan and Mel in a combined te
Falling for the CEO Desperation Blake's POV
I pushed myself into work throughout the night Friday night after I got myself back to my storage room home. I had to admit I didn’t like it as much anymore since I’d been staying with Kate for the last week. I didn’t want to admit but I still even though I was angry and frustrated wanted to be there in Kate’s small studio apartment. I missed the warmth of the place and the feel of home it brought. I missed Rosco slobbering all over my leg everywhere I walked and I missed her. Part of me knew I might be overacting but I wanted Kate to open up to me and let me in. I had no idea how to not spook her anymore and I felt like I was walking on eggshells every day scared to tell her how I felt. The worst part is she didn’t realize my saying I love you was the least of what I wanted from her. I wanted it all for the first time in my life I wanted that woman to be all mine, forever. I regretted some of the things I’d said and that I’d yelled at her because I didn’t want to
Falling for the CEO Recovery
I showered and got myself a bit refreshed and then went downstairs to see Mrs. Flora for some dinner. I was surprised to see that Russ was there with her and felt a bit humiliated after I thought about everything Russ had seen I truly felt embarrassed. Russ on the other hand didn’t miss a beat. “Hello, Miss Kate! It’s so good to see you! Where is my friend Rosco?” “He is outside in the garden at the moment. I can go get him if you want.” “Oh, I’ll go get him in a bit, right now please come and sit. I’ve already had one enchilada and plan on having many more. Please eat them with me, Miss Kate.” I stepped over but could feel tears welling up because I know I needed to say something to him, “Russ I’m so sorry for my behavior in the last few weeks and last night especially. I hope I didn’t ruin any plans for you last night.” I looked over at Mrs. Flora hoping he understood what I meant. Russ stood up, “Pl
Falling for the CEO The surprising Lunch
I opened the door and saw Laura standing there pale as a ghost. She looked awful and ran down like maybe she hadn’t slept in days and also maybe a little high. Tears were streaming down her face and I was just trying to take it all in. “I’m so sorry Kate.” “What for? Oh my god…..” I couldn’t finish my sentence before another person came into my eyesight. I felt like all the blood drained from my body as I made out the shape and then the slimy smile of Curtis Montgomery. “Hello, Kate.” He sneered at me and then lifted his hand from behind Laura flashing a gun at me and my heart leaped. “Now be a good little girl and let us in before I have to show you what happens to a woman who doesn’t listen to me.” I saw his arm squeeze on Laura and she flinched. “Kate please,” Laura begged as the tears continued down her face. My gut told me not to do it but the other part of me was terrified for Laura and I wasn’t sure what else to
Falling for the CEO PAIN
Curtis seemed to be distracted after I told him Blake would be coming so he started pacing I guess to plan his attack. As he continued to pace Laura did her best to try and help me sit down on the couch and continued to clean me up. “I’m so sorry Kate, I didn’t mean for any of this to happen.” Poor Laura was shaking and barely able to keep herself functional. I did my best with my duct-taped hands to grab her arm. “Laura, what happened?” Laura looked over and Curtis was still distracted and making his plans in his mind. “I thought everything was going great and then last night I woke up to him shooting me up then everything has been crazy ever since. Honestly, some of it is a blur but he had me text you to change the time sometime yesterday and you agreed. He has beat me a lot and some other things.” I knew the other things meant Laura had been sexually assaulted and I cringed. “I tried to keep him from getting to your apartment but it's been two week

Falling for the CEO Wrap up
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
Falling for the CEO The proposition
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
Falling for the CEO Making Plans for the Future
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
Falling for the CEO Making Plans
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
Falling for the CEO The Christening
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
Falling for the CEO Coming Home
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
Falling for the CEO The Hunt
“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
Falling for the CEO Recovery
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
Falling for the CEO The Awakening
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
