All Chapters of Mated To The CEO: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

"I don't have a lot of food at home. I'm not exactly home often enough to prepare five-star dinners, but I have James now, my British butler. You can ask him to cook any you want."His eyes meet mine, sending butterflies soaring up the walls of my stomach. "The bedroom is next to the living room, and the bathroom I believe we passed on our way here."I nod. "Okay."After retaining eye contact for more than a minute, he continues walking, leaving me wondering what he sees when he looks at me."And this is where the food is made."I follow him into his kitchen and take a seat while Axel searches his fridge with darting eyes.The outline of his muscles is visible through his white t-shirt, and his corded arm with a tattoo running under the fabric makes it hard to peel my eyes off him. He must be over six feet tall, and I would guess he is thirty-something."I have bread and yogurt. Are you fine eating that?"I sourly throw him a look. "I can't ask for more when you have so kindly taken

AxelI am wearing my best suit today. I'm officially the President, CEO, and owner of Crawford Group Of Companies Incorporate.James is driving me to the office tower. I'm glad that he's a punctual man and I shouldn't worry about him being late. My late grandfather once said, "Time is money, Axel. You better manage your time wisely." I have followed that mantra ever since, and not ever once have I regretted my decision. My grandfather is a wise and kind man.You can call me an ingrate child or son if you must, but I admit I hated my father; who wouldn't? I saw changed women like a leopard change its spots; I witnessed how my mother cried every night, fighting for their marriage until Aunt Leila came and my father had a daughter with her in secret. I remember vividly how my mother's world crumbled into debris when that happened. In the end, my father chose his beloved mistress over my mom, over his family, and me.Heaven might hear my mother cry for so many sleepless nights that one da

I'm turned on, goosebumps all over my body. I feel so alive when he holds me like this in his arms. Axel's blue eyes are full of desire as he dips his head and claims my lips, and I'm not ready for the pleasure his kiss gives me. He nips and licks my lips. A tingling sensation rushes through my bloodstream, and I feel the urge to kiss him back.He pulls away, leaving me wanting more. "Oh baby, you taste so good, Roe." He utters, the desire not leaving his eyes.He is slightly panting. "Let's go to our room?" He brushes his lips to mine. "Right now?" He added.I know better; I should say no in my judgment, but my desire to touch him is greater. I find myself nodding. Is this because of the alcohol? I don't care anymore. I need this to feel like a woman.And yes, I want him, my body wants Axel, even for tonight, I will allow my body to take over and have its way, even when it means entering a dangerous human desire.We made our way to the elevator to reach our hotel room. My heart is be

AxelI'm not trying to be a hero but watching the hostage crying for help on the monitor's screen. Mark and his task force FBI group set up another camera to freely monitor what was happening inside the hostage area.I'm now wearing a bulletproof vest. My executive assistant Landon sits next to me."Officer, have you set the phone over?"Mark is talking to his subordinates through his walking Radiophone. He seems flustered, yet he had his way to hide it. Being a task force leader makes him hide the worry a little more acceptable than the rest of his teammates."Yes, captain, now the waiting game is on."True enough, since we can't force the criminals to give us a ring, this negotiation will happen according to their book. Their rules, we follow."Copy, if anything happens, radio me."Mark glances at me after putting his radio hanging on his dirty cargo pants."For sure, they'll ask for tons of money."Landon opens up with fear.Mark throws him an acknowledging face, "Sure, but some cr

Mark answers his radio; our ears are parking up, ready to hear every instruction from the dangerous hostage-takers. Landon will faint any moment from now. His face is full of mixed emotions; his eyes are open."You okay?""This is scary. Are you sure, Sir? This is part of my job?"I almost burst out a fatty laugh; my executive assistant and lawyer is a pussy scared man. He should be afraid; this is a threatening life situation after all."Relax, Landon; I think the FBI got this over their control.""I hope so, Sir; I still want to date my girlfriend.""You will, after this." Landon wipes the grains of sweat on his forehead. Oh, poor man."You will release three hostages in exchange for a private jet plane and two twenty million dollars?" Mark his lips pressing together, and his other hand forms a fist."In less than two hours? Are you out of your mind?" He adds it seems that the criminals are cornering the FBI captain and team leader."Do I sound like a joke to you, Captain?" One of t
