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 impressed, impressed enough he placed me in a set study group with literally the top 4 seniors in the class, one who was Blake Sutton. I tried so hard not to let his good looks get to me but every time during our study group times, he always called me out and asked my opinion. At first, I was so timid I said, “I don’t know for sure”, too many times it seemed because I could start seeing the others roll their eyes every time he asked in that deep strong voice of his, “Kate, what do you think?” I shrank in my seat every time the others glared at me, but when I would bring myself to glance over at Blake, he would always be giving me that same confident smile of his like he knew something I didn’t.
I vowed to myself I had to stop letting him get to me and focus on the class. It took many peps talks in the mirror before I finally started to prove myself to the group. At first it was just sharing my handwritten research to them and then I started feeling confident enough to tell them what I thought during each and every project. Even Blake at one point sat right beside me and nudged me saying “Dang my lil Kate, is finally showing who she is” My entire body ignited at that statement, but I took a deep breath and said to him “Maybe should have paid attention because I was always there”, giving him a nudge back.
Finally, before the end of class the group put me as the organizer of our last project which was the final and half of our semester grade. I knew I could do this and took time to pay attention to everyone’s strengths. I split each section of the project out evenly, made a calendar including extra times we needed to meet, and sent out progress notes almost every day so we were all on the same page. Looking back, I know Blake must have just been egging me on and enjoying the idea that I could not keep the redness off my cheeks when he would glance over and give me that smile. I swear till this day that smile would have stopped every war there was if everyone would have looked over at him. It could make my whole-body flutter and although I would do everything in my power to not let it control me I still couldn’t stop myself from blushing. Well not today, Blake Sutton, this is my house, my agency that I have worked from the ground up to be offered partner and I kept hoping that is what Mr. Johnson wanted to talk about. Today I am in control Blake Sutton, not you or that damn smile of yours.
The subway train came to stop, and I gathered my stuff walking to the exit. A tall and slicked back blonde hair man dressed to impress in a fancy grey suit stepped right in front me before I reached the exit. Forcing me to bump right into his well-built chest. “Hey beautiful where are you headed on this fine morning? How about we leave together and get a coffee and maybe something else?”
I could feel the heat of anger on my face and the glare forming in my eyes. “Excuse me please sir. I’d like to get to work.”
He put his arms on both of mine and said with his debonair smile. “Hey now, you don’t need to be like that I like a working woman, especially a women dressed like you with a body like yours. I mean those breasts of yours look like they were made for my hands and that butt of yours looks perfect for me as well.” As he started to move his hands down my back.
I stiffed to his touch. “If you do not stop right now, I will give you something else of me to think of. Please let me by.” He chuckled thinking he could just overpower me and kept moving his arms downward on my back. Right before he got to my ass, I felt my right knee go up as high and as hard as I could right into his half-erect dick. The groan of pain he made as he hunched over was enough for me to smile and start to laugh. Plus, it helped half the subway train was laughing and clapping as I was now able to push by him. “Told you,” I smirked.
“You bitch! You will regret that” As he hunched over into the nearest seat. I told myself I would need to avoid the 7:00 AM train for a while for that.
I quickly walked myself out of the subway and onto the street giving myself a quick brush off to get the creep feeling from me. There were way too many like that in the business world and I hoped I never ran into that guy again. Only two blocks left, and I’d be in my world, my office, and the place I felt most comfortable. I knew my stuff and told myself after that little incident I could handle Blake Sutton even with those deep brown eyes of his.
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
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
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
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
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
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
