He was so close to getting what he wanted. He could feel the heat coming off of her body. She wanted him. If he had persuaded her a little more, she would've given in.
But when he saw the dazed and uncomfortable look on her face, he couldn't pressure her anymore. She almost looked ashamed to let him kiss her and touch her body.
She isn't ready, Ansel thought. He took her home just as he promised.
She hesitated before getting out of the car. "Thank you for today. I had more fun than I care to admit," she said.
"Just admit it, you're disappointed that you didn't go all the way with me tonight," Ansel smirked.
"Pfft...in your dreams. Why would I ever want to sleep with a prick like you?" Elisa giggled.
"Fine, be that way. One day you will give in, and it'll be glorious. Until then, Miss Campbell," Ansel put his fingers up in a saluting gesture.
Elisa rolled her eyes and went inside the apartment.
Ansel didn't cons

Elisa stared at Ansel and could hardly contain her laughter. She couldn't believe how annoyed he was because a six-year-old girl told him she didn't like him. "What do you mean you don't like me? Everyone likes me," Ansel frowned. "I don't like you because you're ugly," Audre said nonchalantly. Oh boy, Elisa looked at them wide-eyed. Ansel gasped. "How dare you, tiny human! I am not ugly. If I was ugly, I wouldn't be so popular with the ladies. And guess what, I was named one of the most handsome eligible bachelors in Forbes magazine, so joke's on you, missy!" Audre turned to Elisa. "Mommy, what's e-rigi-ble bachalor?" Elisa rolled her eyes. Is this guy for real? "Are you seriously arguing with a six-year-old? Who is the adult here?" Ansel ignored her and turned his attention back to Audre. He refused to lose to a child. "Listen here. I don't care about your opinion because guess what? You have a bedtime, and I get to stay up a
The CEO's Serious Pursuit 19. Getting What He Wanted
Ansel took a moment to appreciate the words that came out of Elisa's mouth.This was the moment he had been waiting for."You're so fucking beautiful," he growled and kissed her again, this time, a little more forcefully. He felt her hand tugging at his shirt, unbuttoning it. She didn't stop until she unbuttoned the last button. He broke the kiss to come up for air then stared into her eyes. She trailed her fingers all over his naked chest and stomach, sending shivers down his spine. He smiled down at her. She was lying there, half-naked and vulnerable. She was all his. His to make love to, his to play with."Don't hurt me," she whispered. Her eyes were suddenly full of concern. Her confidence from earlier was fading.He looked at her with surprise. "Hurt you? I'll worship your body, my darling. Don't worry, I will make you feel so good you will remember this night for the rest of your life," he said huskily, then took her shorts off. He grinned as she wa
The CEO's Serious Pursuit 20. A Betrayal
In the morning, Elisa woke up and smiled as she remembered the events last night. She couldn't believe she slept with her boss. She didn't feel any shame or regrets. She was happy. She realized she started to have feelings for Ansel. Sure, he was an obnoxious, arrogant man, but he can also be weirdly sweet. And it didn't hurt that he was extremely attractive. She took her time getting dressed and put on her prettiest dress. She felt like a teenage girl trying too hard to impress her crush, but she didn't care. She looked forward to seeing him at the office. She decided to make a quick stop at the landlord's apartment. She got her paycheck and now was able to pay her rent in full. That's another thing she was grateful for. If she hadn't meet Ansel, she never would've found this job with great pay and benefits. "Yes, to what do I owe this pleasure?" her landlord grinned slyly. "I'm here to pay off my rent. I have the full amount," Elisa said and started

Ansel watched Elisa stormed away then went back to his chair. He had a lot of work to do, so he didn't have time to mess around. But he kept thinking about Elisa. How a dark shadow covered her pretty face as soon as she realized he was a jerk. But that was to be expected. Every woman reacted the same way when he broke things off with them. Usually, he felt a sense of relief when he got rid of each of them, but this time, it didn't feel right. His heart felt tight and uncomfortable as if he was about to have a heart attack. He wanted to see her smile again, but that would be impossible now. She was probably on her way to quit her job. The next day, Ansel was surprised to find her at the desk. "Good morning," she looked at him and smiled. Huh? That's unexpected. Every time he ditched someone, they hated him for a month. What's her deal? Ansel looked at her suspiciously. "Everything okay, Mr. Adams?" Elisa asked. "Yeah, fine," Ansel was still try
The CEO's Serious Pursuit 22. Only for Fun
Elisa walked back to her desk triumphantly as Ansel sat there dumbfounded. She found his reaction rather satisfactory. She shouldn't have let him have his release. He would've suffered a lot more if she had left him high and dry. But that wasn't part of her plan. She needed him to be smitten by her skills and become hungry for more.But of course, it would take a lot more than a blowjob for her to get to that point. She knew it wasn't going to be that easy, especially since Ansel was the kind of man who could potentially have any woman he wanted."Elisa."Her thoughts were interrupted by a melodic voice that called to her. It belonged to Anya. She was standing by her desk, staring at her intently."Mrs. Adams! I thought you were on vacation," Elisa exclaimed."It's Mrs. Williams now, remember? Besides, I told you to call me Anya. Connor and I got back early since I have a doctor's appointment. Is everything going well in the office?""Everyt

Ansel wasn't stupid. He remembered the anger in her eyes as clear as day. Did she really expect him to believe that she got over being used by him? Did she take him for a fool?She was playing coy. She wanted revenge. Ansel could feel it. He just didn't know what kind of game she was trying to play with him. Was she trying to seduce him so she could reject him? If that was the case, he didn't intend to make it easy for her.He grabbed her face, not too roughly but not gently either, then forced her to look into his eyes. Suppose she wanted to play games, she better ready to face a strong opponent. He grazed her cheek with his thumb then touched her lips. "I love these plump lips of yours," he whispered huskily and ran his thumb over her lower lips."Then why don't you kiss me?" she let out a sigh and looked at him with anticipation."I have a better idea," Ansel said and thrust his index and middle finger inside her parted mouth. "Suck it," he ordered.

"Thanks for the ride," Elisa said and tried to leave in a hurry, but Ansel grabbed her wrist. He sensed her uneasiness the entire car ride. He tried to ignore it but he couldn't because she looked devastated."What's the matter with you?" he asked."Nothing. Let go so I can go inside," Elisa tried to free her hand, but Ansel gripped it more firmly."Bullshit. It's written all over your face. Something is wrong," he narrowed his eyes.Elisa sighed. "I am worried about her being alone, that's all. So just let me go, okay?"Ansel was confused. Elisa left Audre home alone with a babysitter all the time, so what was the big deal? Was it because it was someone else's house? He wasn't convinced, but he let go of her."Thanks again. You didn't have to do that, but I appreciate it anyway," Elisa said and strode towards the house.Ansel drove home after. He kept thinking about how worried Elisa looked. It was none of his business, and he should

Elisa was shaking uncontrollably. Gerald knew Ansel, and he knew where she worked. He wouldn't leave her alone no matter what. She looked at Ansel, who said something to her but she couldn't understand him as she saw red. "Elisa!" Ansel grabbed her shoulders and shook her until she came to her senses. "What's wrong with you? Talk to me!" Elisa finally snapped out of it. She looked at his face, but he didn't look angry anymore. He was concerned. "You should leave," she said timidly. Ansel held her hands and stared at her intently. "Leave? I am not going anywhere until I hear some explanation. Why are you so scared? Who is that man?" Elisa yanked her hand free. Why is he acting like they were friends? Ansel wasn't a psychopath like Gerald, but he was no saint. He used her and tried to throw her away too. She wasn't obligated to explain herself to him. "Just leave. Why are you so worried about me? You should go back to your glamorous life

Elisa felt ill as she was on her way out. She almost changed he mind three times and decided to stay home and wait. But, she gave herself a pep talk and forced herself to go see Ansel. She couldn't wait until he came home from work. She needed to tell him now. The secret she had been keeping was driving her crazy. She felt like she was about to explode! She saw Audre in the kitchen and expected her to ask where she was going, but Audre was too busy chatting and laughing on the phone. "No, I love you more," Audre declared on the phone, then giggled. It's been a month since she came from the camp. Ever since then, she had been seeing Aleks. She is always on her phone texting him or having long conversations. Ansel groaned and complained about it at first, but he had eventually accepted their relationship. Aleks was a good kid, after all. "I'm going to have lunch with your dad. I'll be back soon," Elisa announced before leaving, even though she w

It was the last day of Summer Camp. Audre was sad that it ended, but she looked forward to going back home and be with her sisters. But then again, she knew she couldn't see Aleks first thing in the morning after she leaves and thinking about it made her sad. She wanted to see him before they all went their separate ways. She still had a few hours left before Steven came to pick her up. Aleks was in his cabin packing up his things. His eyes lit up as he looked up and saw her standing by the door. "Hey Curls, came to say goodbye?" he asked. Audre nodded. She couldn't hide her sadness. "I don't like this. I want to be with you," she said quietly. Aleks took her hand and pulled her closer. "It's not like we'll be separated forever. I'll see you when we get back home." He wrapped his arms around her. "Then we can continue the naughtiness," he whispered in her ear. Audre giggled. "My dad would kill you. He said I'm not allow

"I'm coming with you," Aleks announced. "Are you sure that's a good idea?" Audre asked. "Why wouldn't it be?" Aleks looked at her questioningly. Then he remembered he never told Audre that he met her parents already. "Well, I forgot to tell you. I met your parents so it wouldn't be awkward. Audre looked at him with surprise. She didn't realize when she would ask her father for help. He'd actually want to meet Aleks personally. She felt horrified as she thought what kind of questions her father might've asked Aleks. "Um...how did that go? Meeting with my parents, I mean," she asked awkwardly. Aleks chuckled. "They aren't that bad," he said. Audre felt relieved. "Okay, then you can come with me. I could use your support." Aleks pulled her into a hug and kissed her hair. "I am always here for you, Curls." Audre felt grateful. "Okay," she said and smiled. Steven drove her to her parents' house alongside Aleks. Audre
The CEO's Serious Pursuit 85. Not Again
Audre took a shower and got ready to meet Aleks at the treehouse. Her heart was beating fast as the time drew nearer. She felt restless. She swore to him that she wouldn't let him touch her unless they finished their talk, but she didn't know if she would stop him. It's not that he was the only one who gets turned on when they are close to each other! She quietly left her cabin. Kim and Kimmie were fast asleep. They went to bed early after working an almost 12-hour shift. "Hey you." Audre halted as she heard a voice behind her. She stepped back as she saw a shadow of a man approaching. "Little Audre. Don't you remember me? It's your uncle Kaelan," the man said. Audre remembered instantly. She had seen him passing by when her mom took her to her grandpa's house. He never bothered to say hi to her or tried to have a relationship as her uncle. What was he doing here at her camp of all places? "Yes I know you but why are you here?"
The CEO's Serious Pursuit 84. Tell Me Everything
"Do you think Kaelan would go after Audre?" Ansel looked at Elisa thoughtfully. "I wouldn't put it past him. I just can't believe what kind of man he had become. He had always been a kid who got himself wrapped up in bad situations. I tried to help him as best as I could, and I never thought he would fall this far," Elisa shook her head in disappointment. "I know you did, baby," Ansel said and kissed her forehead. "But he doesn't know where Audre is. How would he know that?" "I know, but still...what if he had been following her or something?" Elisa frowned. "You are right. We need to keep a lookout. Good thing the camp is almost over, but until then, maybe I should send someone to keep a watch over her," Ansel said. Elisa shook her head. "Audre will not be happy about this," she said. "I'll make sure she never finds out. So who is it that Kaelan owes money to?" Ansel asked. He hadn't thought about Elisa's brother ever since he almost

Audre was confused after hanging up the phone with her mother. It seemed that everyone remembered Aleks but her. Also, she sounded worried. What was she so concerned about? Audre decided to confront Aleks about how they met the first time since the last time she asked, he gave her a vague answer. She waited until she was done with work. Then she sneaked away after everyone was asleep. Aleks asked her to meet him at the treehouse earlier, so this was her chance to ask questions. "Aleks, are you in ther..." she gasped as he grabbed her arm and pulled her under him. "Hey!" she protested and tried to sit up, but he pushed her back down. "I missed you," he said and covered her mouth with his before she could say anything else. She moaned as he nibbled on her lower lip softly, then slipped his tongue inside her parted mouth. She closed her eyes and kissed him back, then pried his lips off of hers. "Wait...Aleks...I wanted to talk to you abou

"Guys, stop fighting! You can both play the game," Elisa said irritably as she watched Ira and Ivy fight over the controller. "No, we can't! This is a one person game, and Ira had been hogging it for two hours," Ivy complained. "No I'm not! It has only been 40 minutes," Ira said. "You are a liar!" Ivy screamed. "Am not!" "Are too!" "Alright girls, that's enough," Elisa scolded. It was a quiet afternoon and she wanted to lie down by the window and read. But now, it was not so quiet and relaxing anymore, thanks to the twins. Ira threw the controller across the room. The girl always had the worst temper. And now, at thirteen years of age, it has gotten even worse. "Ira! Do not throw things. I'm not buying you another one if it's broken," Elisa told her. Ira sighed. "I miss Audre. When will she get back?" "Me too. I miss her too," Ivy nodded. "The summer is almost over, so she'll be back soon. Until

"What?" Audre asked as Kim kept staring at her in the morning. Audre managed to sneak back inside the cabin with her roommate's knowledge and quietly went to sleep. "Something is different about you this morning," Kim squinted her eyes. "You need glasses because there's nothing different about me. I'm the same old, boring Audre," Audre said. "I bet Aleks would disagree," Kim grinned. Audre blushed. Does Kim suspect something? But how could she know? "You're crazy. I'm going, I gotta lot to do," Audre giggled and ran out before Kim suspects anything more. The rest of the day, she spent time teaching kids and helping other counselors what whatever they needed. She stayed out of Blair's way as much as possible. She passed by Aleks, who was setting up woods on the firepit for the campfire later tonight. He flashed her a mischievous smirk, and it was turning her cheeks red. Memories of last night flashed before her e

"Audre, don't. I told you I was only joking." Aleks grabbed her hand and chuckled before she took his shirt off completely. Audre breathed slowly as she looked at his naked chest. He may be playing around but seeing him like this turned her on. "But I'm not joking," she whispered and trailed her fingernail across his chest. "Audre I..." Aleks stopped talking and moaned instead as she pressed her lips on his chest. She smiled as she felt him shudder. So she wasn't the only one sensitive to touches. She unbuttoned his shirt and took it off entirely. Aleks tangled his fingers through her hair as she covered his chest with small featherlike kisses. "This isn't going to end well," he growled. "You talk too much." Audre trailed her lips from his chest to his neck then stopped when they met his lips. Aleks's grip on her hair tightened. He slipped his tongue inside her mouth and kissed her harder while slowly backing her against the bed. She f
