I wipe the edge of my lips to rid my mouth of any remaining food, Nic stands up and comes to my side offering his hand.
"Would you care to dance Miss Clarkson?" He smiles winking, I laugh shaking my head and take his hand."I don't see why not Mr Rimini." I throw back, he returns the laugh and helps me up.He leads us to the area where there's more than enough space for most of us to dance, his hand rests just above my lower back and mine on his shoulder and our hands linked.We sway left and right to the music, "Did I tell you how beautiful you look tonight?" He asks after a few seconds.I look up for a second, "I don't think so. How can that be?" I ask just as he twirls me."I guess I was too speechless to even try and I apologise. You look absolutely beautiful Miss Clarkson." He changes his accent into a British one on the last statement.I laugh throwing my head back, "Dare I say the same about you Mr Rimini." I smile, he returns the smile pulling meRelated chapters
The CEO Chapter 18
The moment the design of this car was released I fell in love with it and when it came out I learnt everything I could about it hoping to one day get the opportunity to drive it, there is no way I'm crashing it."Address?" I ask, he gives me a look for a second."Hotel on Broadway and seventh." I nod my head, of course he lives in one of his hotels.I start the car and grin like the madwoman I am when I feel and hear the engine roar to life, I almost want to giggle and squeal like a little girl."Can I get this car as a new year bonus?" I try my luck, he gives me a look that says it all making me laugh.Joining the rest of the cars in the road, I start of slow and safe, a part of me scared that I might actually crash."This can't be all you have Rosaleigh." My eyes widen slightly as I throw a quick glance at him.He's never called me by name, and I hate to admit that I like the way it sounds rolling out of his lips. He should call me by my name more.

I freeze for a second, his arm around my waist tightens and his hand goes frok my cheek to th back of my neck, urging me forward, urging me to kiss him back.Here we go, highly inappropriate if you ask me but I'll let it continue until his cellphone rings or you break something.I ignore the voice in my head and focus more on his lips moving roughly against mine, I move my lips against his at a much slower pace but soon I return the same pace.By now the dress is halfway way to pooling around my legs, his hand leaves my neck and trails down every curve of my body.He takes a step back into his room, I shrug my dress down and jump over it following him in. He closes the door by pushing me against it, I hiss lowly in his mouth.His mouth leaves mine and starts leaving quick kisses along my jawline and neck, I moan when he sucks on the V of my collarbone, my hands move up his back feeling every pull of his muscles to his silky hair.
The CEO Chapter 20
This last month has been busier than when I was busy with the gala, never ending meetings, tv interviews, filings, conferences etc.I've literally been arriving home at nine p.m if it's was a normal day but if not I'm lucky enough to even get an hour of sleep.I don't know what changed but something has changed.Jared and I have kept in touch and because of the guilt that I carry for some reason, I've been trying to help him get his job back.Which is what I'm doing right now instead of eating my lunch, I finish off the last of the recordings and head to my boss's office.The second I enter, smoke invades my lungs. I cough roughly and rush to the window to open it up and get a breath of fresh air.I set the files down and head to his desk, emptying out the third ashtray for this day I notice the already empty box of cigarettes in the bin.Did I forget to mention that he smokes like hell when he's stressed, two to three p

"You have a question." My boss speaks up, I look up at him like a deer caught in headlights.For a few minutes we just looked at the ocean in silence then he called for someone to bring blankets and cushions and a speaker up here, then we just ate in silence but my mind has been running around like crazy."It's probably inappropriate." I brush it off taking some more fried chicken and rice into my mouth."You can ask me anything, and I'll be the judge of it." He states, taking a sip of his water.I take in a deep breath, "Why do you hate your father?" I ask upfront, he visibly tenses.Maybe I shouldn't have asked, "You don't have to answer the question." I add nervously but deep down I really want to know."You know I was eighteen when I took over the business, it wasn't supposed to be my duty but rather my older brother." He starts off.Jason Grey. I've only ever seen one picture of him and that was when it was said he was to take over until there was n

He tantalizingly pulls the lip out from between my teeth and pulls it, he's so focused, like he's hypnotized.Here we go again.I cup his cheek and find a way to straddle him, making it hard to ignore the hardness between my thighs.Closing my eyes, I lean in to kiss him and just as our lips are about to touch, a drop of water falls between them.I snap out of it and look up at the sky, the stars are now concealed behind a dark cloud. Another drop falls on my forehead and soon a lot more follow, we both hurry up to our stuff and rush to the door.I fall into a fit of giggles looking at how wet Mr Grey is, he almost looks mad at the rain.Thankfully we aren't that wet, "What about the blankets?" I ask wringing the water out of my hair."Someone will take care of it, it's almost midnight. I should really get you home." He states, placing his surprisingly dry jacket around me.I'm slightly shivering from the cold but it's not like I predicted that I

"Should we leave him like this?" I mumble referring to my boss laying in his king sized bed with black silk sheets.He still has his pants and dress shirt on, "The housekeeper would change him but she's asleep so I guess this will just suffice." Aaron shrugs, I nod then lean over Grey and place the sheets over his body.Apparently my boss, lives almost an hour away from where he works, I almost see why he made me drop him off at a hotel fifteen minutes away.That's a long drive home, even for him. I wouldn't say I was shocked when I saw a huge modern mansion in the middle of nowhere, a little scared? Yes, but shocked, no.The inside I just as big, I hardly doubt a lot of people live here but I know the housekeeper and Noelle are usually the only people here.I yawn and rub my eyes, "Maybe you should stay the night?" "Huh?" I mumble looking at the driver, she shakes his head."Mr Grey would insist that you stay the night, it's almost midnight and we have another hours' trip for you. H

"Grandma!" The moment the car stops she jumps out of her seat and opens door then runs to her grandmother.We stopped at the mall and waited a few minutes before another black SUV appeared and the same woman from the GG came out.I step out and look at the two share a moment. Noelle is chattering animatedly with her grandmother, who smiles throughout it all.Unlike the last time I saw her, she's radiating. With no offence meant, she looks older than she's supposed to.At the Grey Gala, she was quiet, dull and paid no attention to anything. I assumdd it was because of her husband's scene, but with this little girl in her arms she's totallt different.Face is glowing and a full smile on her face, she approaches me. "Mrs Grey." I acknowledge.She frowns and eyes me up and down, I gulp when her familiar brown eyes glare at me. Now I know where he gets it from."Rosaleigh, Mr–""Xander's assistant, I know. Now if you'll excuse us." She walks around me and enters the car.My eyes widen sli

"Whoa." Noelle and I laugh at Lucia's reaction to the 'Grey Manor' as she calls it.I can't blame her though, last time it was so dark I couldn't take the time to admire it and I was in a hurry to leave but now.I wonder if he done it himself.It's modern yet expensive but doesn't scream 'money!' when you see it. It's so many things in one but it lacks the homey feel, the touch of a woman."We're staying here for a week?!" Her excitement is honestly amusing."You should see the theatre room and game room." Noelle adds, if only she hadn't.Thank God it's Friday, if it had been a weekday, I know I'd struggle with her. Aaron appears from the top of the stairs and comes down."Jolene isn't here which explains why you are. I've put you're sister's bags in the room next to Noelle's. There are some instructions left in the kitchen, do's and don'ts and Noelle's allergy list." He lists, I nod."Thank you." He nods and leaves, when I turn back I see two puppy dog faces staring at me.Sighing, I
