I entered the meeting and was surrounded by about 20 other Managers with Blake at the head of the table and his assistant at the other end. I thought it was great he did this for her because really it was her job to record all the details and knew Blake well enough to know the things he wanted to hear. One by one each manager presented their challenges, their situations, their requests, etc. It was lengthy, to say the least, but a great opportunity to see what could be done to help everyone and Blake truly seemed to take an interest in each person even offering congratulations for one manager’s new baby, another’s son graduating high school and condolences to another for losing their grandmother. The more they went down the line the more attractive Blake became to me because he took an interest in each of his employees and you could tell it was appreciated and it seemed any of them would go the extra mile for Blake just because of who he was and how he showed his appreciation to each o

    “Stand up Kate.” His eyes were darkening and I could feel them burning through my clothes and already felt naked. I couldn’t help but comply but did do my best to stand up tall against his much taller physique. He looked down at me and slowly pulled out the yellow scarf just looking at me as he did then put the scarf on his shoulder for safekeeping. “Blake, I….” He put his finger on my mouth slowly rubbing my lips causing tickling sensations throughout. “Shhhhh…..my sweet Kate, not so sweet when I tell her to stop calling me Mr. Sutton though, huh?” I didn’t answer as he made his hands down to my cheeks leaning down and pulling my face to his for a ravaging kiss that I couldn’t help but submit to. His lips on mine felt like electricity with passion and desire mixed in as a creamy top to it all. His hands slowly lowered getting a grip on my suit jacket and I could feel him moving it off my body. I should have stopped him but after listening at that me

  • Falling for the CEO   Packing

    I quickly ran up the stairs to my apartment and started packing. I felt like this weekend was the true test for Blake and me! I was eager to have it and maybe just maybe seal the deal. I felt like a schoolgirl again hoping that Blake would want to have sex with me and realized that was a bit ridiculous but I think I was ready for all of it. I’m not sure what clicked in my feelings but I was all in and wanted to tell Blake but I felt like I should be waiting for the perfect moment. It was hard to try to figure out what to pack because it was very often I got to wear the summer clothes I truly liked to wear in Chicago. Blake was going to take me to his private beach house in California. I wasn’t so much surprised Blake owned a beach house but maybe a bit more shocked he utilized it. I felt like a whole weekend together he wouldn’t be able to turn me down and after a whole weekend together we’d know if this was going to work. I was struggling to pack and keep my nerves at bay

  • Falling for the CEO   The Jet

    I was a bit shell-shocked because I thought this weekend was going to be our trip to be together and explore each other. Blake must have seen my face, “Kate are you not okay with this? I will kick them off the jet if you want?” I gave him a serious frown face, “Don’t be ridiculous, they are your family. I just had a few different ideas that didn’t involve family time is all.” He took my hint and pull me in for a deep kiss, as he was pulling away, “There were be time for us I do promise you that. I’m sorry this is me being selfish because we had this planned for a bit but I didn’t like the idea of being away from you for the whole weekend and I thought this would give you that bonding time you were talking about.” I nodded in understanding even though I was still a bit disappointed. “Plus just because I know you love work, I was thinking that your idea for the hospital party would be perfect at Susan’s hospital as she is a premier surgeon there and could be you

  • Falling for the CEO   The Beach House

    It was late, well after 11:00 pm when we arrived at the beach house. I took a moment to take a step back and take it and truly Blake had beautiful taste. The beach house was a contemporary looking home with an extended double garage filled with a larger black SUV, red convertible, golf cart, and four-wheeler. Blake took me by the hand and gave me a quick tour showing me first a separate entrance with a bedroom and bath that he explained was Russ’s space for the weekend which made complete sense given how private Russ was then we walked into a bright home with huge windows, skylights all around and high ceilings with a view of the ocean all around the area. We entered the kitchen and it was wall to wall with brown Italian cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a large quartz countertop island that overlooked the living entirely enclosed by windows with a wraparound patio around the back with a hot tub in one corner and many comfortable patio chairs, there was a lower level to the d

  • Falling for the CEO   The Beach Blake's POV

    I fell asleep that night next to Kate who was exhausted by the time I made it to the bedroom. I was so close to taking her even if she wasn’t fulling into it because I didn’t think my manhood or I could wait much longer to be inside her. However, fate had different plans because after Kate told some of her stories to Jason he felt awful and I had to talk him through it. Jason had felt guilty for bringing a gun all those years ago against the family but I knew why he had done it and at this point, nobody blamed him if anything my parents felt ashamed for just not telling me when they should have. We were up till almost 3 am and I was happy that Kate had crashed even if it was in the chair. I enjoyed picking her up and carrying her to our bed and then feeling her body tuck itself into mine. It was a blissful sleep. I woke up around 9 am and went to put my arm around her. There was no Kate. I panicked. I sat up grabbed some clothes and walked through the bedroom, no Kate. I we

  • Falling for the CEO   Getting Ready

    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

  • Falling for the CEO   The Dinner

    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

    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

    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

  • 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

    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

    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
