We visited not a great deal and at some point, throughout the flight, I ended up resting on Blake’s shoulder and allowing my sore body to relax a bit. Only the first time we were together had I felt this way and it was the happiest soreness I could have. It still wore on my body and I found myself drifting to sleep. I was suddenly in a very vivid dream and a dark alley with a man at the end. I walked towards him trying to figure out who it was. Right as I got close to the man, he turned around quickly and I realized it was Curtis. I took a step back and now there was a brick wall behind me leaving me trapped with the only way to go being through him. I knew he was stronger than me so there wasn’t much I could do. “All of this is all your fault.” He glared piercing into me and I felt frightened. “You just had to tell everyone who I was and now you are going to pay!” I felt myself gasp in terror and then out of nowhere behind Curtis there was Blake and S
I looked out the window from my bedroom and saw Blake and Kate coming up the drive. I was sure they had more to tell me about Curtis and my whole body felt unstable. I had felt numb for the last two days since we’d left the beach house. I hadn’t started doing some reflection however and started to realize in my mind that I may have not truly known Curtis or for that matter loved him. I had been so caught off the card by Curtis when I first met him because I wasn’t sure if love or a real relationship was for me. He was so polite, cute, and charismatic that I was drawn to the idea of someone like him wanting me. Now that I had some space from him, I realized I was being fooled the whole time by a really good con artist. If anything at this point I was more embarrassed than anything and that part were very hard to admit to anyone even my family. I was dreading visiting with Blake because there was always the possibility with my overly powerful and connected brother that he kn
We left Susan feeling a bit defeated by finding out a bit more about Curtis and concerned that nobody had been able to find him. I did my best to empower her while we visited it and it did seem to help. I did know at this point Susan was going to be okay and that was the best we could ask for at this point. Still, I couldn’t help but worry about Curtis but did my best to try to put it out of my mind while we had dinner with Blake’s family. We all visited about going to the beach with the family and Blake’s parents seemed to just enjoy hearing from their children and held hands while they listened. I added in a few comments but kept watching Blake’s parents and realized how beautiful it was to just watch parents have the opportunity to take in their children’s adult interactions, and stories and truly was memorized by how close they all were. I found myself quiet the rest of the evening but did take time to help with dishes with his mother who made small
We made it to my apartment shortly before 10 pm and I was exhausted. The whole day was quite busy and overall we’d still managed to have sexual encounters three times during the day. We had been busy since I’d said I was all in. I still was trying to decide what all that meant and knew Blake was way more ready to shop for houses than I was but I wasn’t going to let that bother me because tonight Blake Sutton was staying at my small apartment after I’d found out he lived in a tiny room in his building. In some ways it made sense and in others, I was completely blown away by the revelation. It also made me realize we’d be spending a lot more time at my apartment. Blake packed some clothes and we entered my tiny apartment building. Chad probably was at a gig, Laura I’m sure was at work, Mia and her parents had to be asleep as was Mike getting ready for his next day of work, and typically that meant Marvin was fast asleep as well. That left Mrs. Flora and I was surprised t
Blake and I got to work on time and I even allowed us to walk in together although with none of the hanky panky he wanted. I had to have a few limits and that was keeping things at home if I could also keep myself under control. Luckily it was easy to do on Monday as I ended up swamped with meetings and it seemed so was Blake. It was good work though and I made new plans to reevaluate the other manager’s advertising to more what they were wanting now and plans to keep it going in the future. My team was already busy and I was even able to get a few more interviews completed with plans to send over a hiring plan for human resources. Throughout the day Blake sent me a few texts, nothing too much except for the one where he told me to look out the balcony. Sure enough, there was a gentleman outside in the balcony area putting down grass and a luxurious dog house. I already knew what he had tried to plan from the get-go and realized this was the little piece I was g
The week continued like this with us taking the opportunity after every one to be together. Blake was living out of a suitcase and although not ideal I didn’t know what other options there were. Still, it wasn’t anything I wanted to complain about because it was so easy to connect and spend time together. We’d even spent quite a bit of time with my apartment family which was exciting to me because they all seemed to embrace Blake. All of them at one point or another told me how much they approved of him and how he was the one. I knew at some point probably sooner than later that part of the conversation was going to come up with Blake. I wasn’t quite ready for it so I did my very best to avoid it and I was lucky that so far Blake hadn’t pushed the subject just continued with some subtle hints such as sending me a few listings of homes via e-mail. He never brought up to talk about it but just said in his e-mail that he just wanted my opinion. On Wednesday
Blake looked over at me with a menacing grin. “Kate, I was hoping to discuss something important with you first thing this morning. What luck that you are in the elevator. Could we please meet in your office right away? “ “Of course, I will always make time for my CEO,” I smirked back at him already imagining him inside me causing my body to flush. “Wonderful.” I knew it was all part of the game and I was rather enjoying myself so I was sure to be the first one out of the elevator so he could stare at my butt he followed behind with a large smile as he was met with employees as we walked and answered questions. I looked back and made sure he saw me biting my lip and I swear his pace increased instantly. I greeted Monique and told her that Blake had requested to meet with me right away so please do not disturb us. She happily agreed as she greeted Rosco and me and handed me a few messages to go over. I went into my office a
I ducked out early after having Monique schedule an appointment with the stylist on the lower floor complete with makeup and hair. I couldn’t help spoil myself a little because I didn’t do much and truly wanted to look my best tonight because it was our official first date. Well, since I said I was “All in”. Blake gave me till 6 pm so I had roughly about 3 hours to pick a dress, get ready, and get my makeup and hair. I was happy it was the same stylist and they went to work right away. I selected a black dress because it was of course a little black dress always made a woman feel good. It was form-fitting and went right above my knee up. The top had shoulder straps with cuts out around the shoulders and right around the front where my cleavage was another cutout. The sleeves went down to the elbow and then flared out into a lengthy ruffle. I selected high-heeled strappy sandals and knew my stylist would take care of the rest for accessories. I was happy with my outfit and went righ
