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 beginning
It started so innocently. My phone beeped while I was up in my room preparing for finals and completing the last of our final project for marketing as I had imagined everyone was doing that night. I figured it was someone from my study group as that was my only group project left due for finals. “Hey, it is me, Blake. I’m struggling with my project could you meet me in a half hour at the College Café?” I looked at all my work still to complete and decided it could not hurt to take a small break plus it was about our final. I was also the designated leader of this last final and had to make sure everyone completed their work. “Yes, see you in a few.” I look down at my baggy shirt and sweatpants and decide that may not be the best choice to go out in public in. I quickly threw off my relaxing clothes leaving myself in nothing but my white lace lingerie. I do not know why when I opened my closet, I pick the clothes I did but I picked a gree
Falling for the CEO The Escapade
Did he always smile constantly and when do I get used to it? I could only smile and nod feeling myself just staring at that incredibly beautiful mouth of his, I want to taste it so bad. “Okay just wait for me to come around and get that door open missy” He smiled and winked. Oh good god, I am doing this, no turning back now. He quickly ran over to my side of the door and opened and closed it. He grabbed my hand to encourage me to race over to the gated apartment where as quick as he could he put in the code. I should have told him there was no point. It was still down pouring and we were already drenched. He pulled me towards his apartment on the 2nd floor with outside access. I caught myself looking up, damn there is no overhang to avoid the rain in this place. He let go of my hand and fumbled for the key. He put the key in and then looked over at me. His face started becoming serious and he looked at me as though I was a steak dinner. I caught myself stumbling back to which he quickl

“BZZZZZ! BZZZZZZ!” Stupid Alarm! I glance reluctantly at the alarm clock to see the time, 5:00 am. Just another day. I quickly force my body out of the bed. I glance over at my sleep mate, his shiny grey hair glowing with the streetlights creeping in the window. Still snoring and flinching with his puppy dreams. I was so grateful for this sweet gruffly Pitbull, Rosco, of mine. He kept me from being lonely and had become the favorite of the small apartment building I lived in. Since he was still snoring away. I decided to let him sleep and quickly took the small trip quietly to my small bathroom, showering first and then starting thinking about the day. I poured myself out of my tank top and shorts I was wearing to sleep and stepped into the steamy hot water. Thanking the water for the feeling of relaxation I so needed before this day. I let the water pour over my fair pale skin and past every small freckle grateful I was not a complete redhead just the hint of freckles was all I needed
Falling for the CEO The Subway
BBBBBBBBBEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPP!” What where you are going lady?” The taxi driver yelled, and I quickly looked in shock when I realize it was me! I wave my hand and race across the crosswalk and down the subway stairs, depositing my coin quickly, and rushing on to the train with a minute to spare! The train is quickly off, and I find a seat luckily away from most and run through my presentation in my mind. I have worked on this straight for the last month, feel confident with it and our plan to help the coffee chain grow and glad our presentation is not until after lunch. I cannot stop to wonder what Mr. Johnson wants to tell me before the big meeting with Blake Sutton at 9 am. My stomach does a butterfly flip just saying his name in my mind. I begin to drift off again thinking of the past and that damn marketing class. I wanted in since day one and was lucky to get into the highly regarded class as a sophomore. I quickly proved myself and the professor was impre
Falling for the CEO The Meeting
7:50 AM and I was walking in the door. I made it in before everyone else and looked down the hallway to Mr. Johnson’s office with the light glowing. I could not believe he was here anyways when I thought about it. Mr. Johnson was a great boss, very laid back, and rarely made it in himself before 9:00 AM. Mr. Johnson was very similar to a father to me and had seen my potential which I was forever grateful for and with him getting into his mid-50s and four of his five children graduating school and heading into college themselves I knew it was time for him to start considering me to be his partner. I’d saved every bit of my salary and spent time making wise investments so this moment could happen so quickly. This had been on me for a long time but when my parents died in a car accident right before I hit college, I was luckily able to save as much of their life insurance as possible and after the house sold, I put that away as well. I could do this, and Mr. Johnson wouldn’t want to turn
Falling for the CEO One on One
I could hear Mr. Johnson telling Blake “She will be fine, you’ll see she is one of the best I’ve ever known.” “Yes, I know that’s why I’m here.” I heard softly come out of Blake’s voice. “Just a moment, Mr. Johnson I will be right back.” Shit! He’s coming out I quickly started walking to my office. “Kate!” He yelled. “Wait, please!” I just kept walking faster. How did a door that was only 20 feet away seem like 100 feet away? Tears already starting to run down my cheeks! Just keep going and he won’t see until I felt that hand on my arm twirling me around. “Kate, please just talk to me.” Was he pleading? I couldn’t do it, I know he could see my damn tears at this moment. I couldn’t bring myself to look right into those eyes at this very moment. “Please remove your arm, Mr. Sutton.” I squelched out. “Kate, I know we had some things happen but I’m sure we can work through this” He almost sounded like he was plead

I had fallen asleep somewhere between making love, and talking and felt utterly exhausted. The last thing I remember was him pulling his satin sheets on top of us as he held me in his arms. “Mmmmm…I didn’t know what satin feels like before. I like it.” I said sleepily. I feel his hand rub my hair. “If I have anything to do with it my sweet Kate that is all you will feel then if you like it.” He said so sweetly and lovingly. I snuggled deeper into him and found myself drifting off until exhaustion. I woke up and realized I was all alone in the bed and rolled over to look for Blake. There was a small note and rose laying on the bed beside me. Wow, he is good I thought. I looked at the note. My sweet Kate. I had to run an errand but I’ll be back. I already washed your clothes and they are drying. Go ahead and take a shower and get dressed. I will make you breakfast when I get back. P.S. You are incredible! Blake I found myself just smil

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
