Falling for the CEO Elevator
I told Blake quickly as we arrived much to his dismay I would prefer at least halfway acting as if it was a coincidence we were going into the office at the same time rather than all of the employees knowing for sure something was going on between him. I put this down as my final word and prayed in my mind he would do this for me. He seemed to be complying as he allowed me to walk ahead of him a few feet but we both got in the elevator at the same time. There were two other gentlemen and a lady I didn’t know and I made my way a little further back. Blake as if it was something he always did divide them and put himself behind them and beside me. He looked over at me, “Good Morning Miss Sloan.” I was a bit nervous and responded, “Good morning Mr. Sutton.” Crap! I could feel my face getting red and was now even more grateful that I was behind the others. The elevator closed and I felt so did my embarrassment a minute. He leaned into my ear a bit, “Please c
Falling for the CEO Work
I spent the hour before I met with my team working through things with Monique and trying to keep myself focused on anything but Blake Sutton. It felt good for a moment to not be thinking about him because it seemed that all I had done in the last week was focus on this situation with Blake. Monique was an exceptional assistant and we worked through some plans of our own and how to break down some scheduling by putting out three advertising campaigns essentially simultaneously. I needed some help to keep working and I also e-mailed Blake much to my dismay requesting some form of budget for recruiting new employees and gave him a list of needed new employees from other advertising representatives, graphic arts designers, an assistant to the assistant that could be on the same level as the department and some other miscellaneous team members. I was hoping he understand how large of a level we need to make this truly succeed. It wasn’t even a moment later when I received
Falling for the CEO Afterhours Blake's POV
It was getting past 6:00 pm and almost everyone had left the office. Still, her light was on and I could see her working on her computer and deep in thought. I couldn’t deny I enjoyed watching her this way. It took me back to my college years and being in her study group. I’d watch her for what seemed like hours tapping her finger on her chin, watching as her blonde curls fell on her face and she wiped them away, still so focused on what she was working on at that moment, and then those moments when she was trying to figure something out and bite her lip. It made my manhood throb every time and now I was so close to maybe having the real opportunity I wanted long ago and still wanted now. Kate was still the whole package in my eyes, driven, kind paid attention to details, and didn’t back down. I’d be lying if half the enjoyment of her was knowing she’d put up a fight in so many ways and I was finding new enjoyment when I realized she had given in to me. It made me feel like the most po
Falling for the CEO 3 days of hell - Blake's POV
I can't say I'd ever felt this way in my entire life. I had gone through a great deal after discovering I had a biological family that had not had a good life and then to meet my biological mother only to lose her seemed at the time to be the most difficult thing I may ever go through, however, this experience with Kate now seemed more difficult because my entire heart ached to talk to her or for another chance and instead I could only watch her, watch her at work as she seemed to be in a robot-driven mode. I'd try to work out in my mind how I could get her to forgive me but it just didn't seem possible. Tuesday was utter hell because I had to watch as her team with her doing the presentation awed everyone with their first three proposed advertising campaigns. She had looked amazing and even though I could see some redness in her eyes that burned into my soul, nobody had noticed that there was anything different. Even when I'd asked questions during the presentation it was like s
Falling for the CEO Kate's POV
I kept looking at the time all day trying to prepare myself for this evening. I knew a lot of things were about to happen to me.One Blake was sure to corner me on the drive there and try to figure out where we were at with things. That was likely to be the hardest part because the truth was even I wasn’t sure. Part of me understood where Blake was coming from and why he did what he did. I mean if you had anything you wanted at your convenience you occasionally wouldn’t check on someone you’d let get away? The other part of me was furious for several different reasons such as why on earth did he wait so long to reach out and why did it have to involve buying the company I was working at? The other big reason was it felt like he stalked me and I wasn’t sure if I was comfortable about it. Second Blake again was going to want to know if I wanted to make this work or not. That part was probably the hardest thing for me to answer. I wanted to be furious forever and had considered an option
Falling for the CEO Dinner
We started walking in and I could feel myself panicking. I grabbed Blake’s arm so he would stop. “Wait, I don’t know your parents’ names, and who else will be there besides your sisters and Curtis?” He put his hand on mine which did lend me some comfort and I appreciated it, “Kate it is okay, I do know this is a big step for you. My parents’ names are Robert and Sara and I promise you they will be nice. Probably because you are the first woman I have ever brought home. The only other person that will be there is my brother Jason.” “Oh, I didn’t realize Jason would be there. That’s nice.”“After everything happened my parent’s guilt consumed them a great deal and especially when my biological mom passed away they took Jason in as their own in a lot of ways. Even helped him get to college, etc.” “Wow that’s amazing, okay let’s go.” Then it hit me, and I grabbed his arm again this time making him laugh. “Kate, I swear this is going to be alright.” “You have never brought any other wo
Falling for the CEO Desert
Everyone visited while eating their dessert and I saw Curtis look at his phone and say something to Susan and walk away. I saw my chance and asked Blake where the restroom was. He gave me directions and I gave him a wink hoping he would get what I was up to but either way it was an opportunity to see what Curtis was up to. I walked into the hallway and heard his voice. He was talking on the phone and I tried to make out where he was at. I turned a corner into the dining room and saw him. “Relax, I have this all figured out. I just need Susan to agree to move up with the wedding and we will be all set. I’m telling you this is better than the extra money I’ve been getting and then we just have to wait until I can complete the deal after our wedding and boom, baby you and me are set.” I was trying to figure out who he was talking to and leaned in a bit more making sure I heard every word. “Nope they aren’t saying a word and as long as push this up they won’t get a chance. They
Falling for the CEO Afterwards
We got in the car and I was smiling warmly at how kind Blake’s family was to me and I held the scarf warmly in my hands that I’d been given. Blake hopped in and his face didn’t look as happy. “What’s wrong?” “You put yourself at risk and that isn’t a good idea Kate not with someone like Curtis.” “Blake comes on I needed to do something and we found out some good information.” I recanted quickly everything I’d heard and watched as Blake let it sink in. He still didn’t respond to me after I finished so I nudged him nicely. “Hey come on this is good. So do you know somebody who could discreetly look into Curtis’s work at the hospital without anyone knowing? Also made we could get him followed or something to figure out who was on the phone with him.” “I still don’t like the fact he touched you and at some point, he is going to have to deal with me.” Blake clenched his fist. I rested my hand on his leg. “Blake you need to relax a

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
