The CEO'S Little Lamb CHAPTER 48
CHAPTER 48Adrian’s POV“Okay.” she said.That one quiet word nearly shattered the last piece of control I had left.Lara looked up at me with soft eyes and flushed cheeks, trusting me so easily that it did something dangerous to my chest.God.I was in trouble.Because somewhere between protecting her, arguing with her, and watching her smile at me like I was more than the monster people believed me to be…I had fallen for her and all I felt was certainty.Lust had been easy to recognize from the beginning.I noticed it the first time she sat at the lounge, after saving her from Alfonso, without an ounce of fear in her eyes.The first time she explained the company's operation report. The day she entered the private elevator.I wanted her instantly.Wanted her smile. Wanted her mouth. Wanted her body. Wanted the sound of her laugh in places that had been cold and empty for years.But this?This went far beyond desire now.Because lust didn’t make a man lose his mind over a single thr
The CEO'S Little Lamb CHAPTER 47
CHAPTER 47Lara’s POVI stood quietly in his arms, listening to the steady beat of his heart beneath my cheek while silence filled the office around us.“You are stressed,” I had whispered softly.That was probably the biggest understatement of the century.Adrian looked exhausted.Not physically. Emotionally.Like he had been carrying the weight of the world alone for far too long.And somehow, despite how intimidating he usually was, seeing him like this only made my chest ache painfully.His hand rested against my back carefully, almost like he was afraid I would disappear if he loosened his grip.The thought alone made my heart melt embarrassingly fast.I slowly pulled back just enough to look up at him.His green eyes immediately met mine.God.How was one man allowed to look this attractive while stressed and emotionally unavailable?It honestly felt unfair.“You’re thinking too hard again,” I murmured softly.A faint smirk almost appeared on his lips.“Is that your professional
The CEO'S Little Lamb CHAPTER 46
CHAPTER 46 Adrian’s POV I was in serious trouble. Because Lara Finn was standing too close to me, looking too beautiful, and I was dangerously close to forgetting every ounce of self-control I had left. The kiss had already ruined me enough. But that second kiss? That one nearly destroyed every rational thought in my head completely. I could still feel the softness of her lips against mine. Still feel her fingers in my hair. Still remember the way she looked at me afterward—flustered, breathless, and completely unaware of what she was doing to me. And honestly? That was probably a good thing. Because if Lara knew the kind of thoughts currently running through my head, she’d probably run away from me immediately. The loud knock on the door had interrupted us at the exact wrong moment. Or maybe the exact right moment. I still hadn’t decided. I exhaled slowly and stepped back from Lara reluctantly. Very reluctantly. Her cheeks were still pink, her lips slightly swollen
The CEO'S Little Lamb CHAPTER 45
CHAPTER 45Adrian’s POVThe moment I saw smoke rising near the mansion, my blood ran cold.No.No, no, no.I pressed harder on the accelerator, the SUV speeding dangerously through the gates while my mind spiraled into violent thoughts.Lara.All I could think about was Lara.Rafael’s words kept replaying inside my head.“I’m going to make your sweet little lamb suffer before your eyes.”My chest tightened painfully.The vehicle barely stopped properly before I jumped out and stormed toward the entrance.Several guards immediately straightened.“Sir—”“Where is Lara?” I snapped.The guards looked confused by my tone.“She’s upstairs, sir.”Relief nearly hit me instantly, but paranoia still clawed at my chest.“Did anyone come here?”“No, sir.”I frowned.“What about the smoke?”One of the maids suddenly appeared from the kitchen looking horrified and embarrassed.“I-I’m sorry, sir,” she stammered nervously. “I accidentally fell asleep while cooking.”I stared at her for a moment.Then
The CEO'S Little Lamb CHAPTER 44
CHAPTER 44Author’s POVThe black SUV sped aggressively through the rain-soaked streets, its tires screeching loudly against the wet road.Adrian Romano gripped the steering wheel tightly, his jaw locked dangerously.Beside him, two of his men exchanged nervous glances but wisely remained silent.Nobody spoke whenever Adrian looked like this.One of the guards finally broke the silence carefully.“We traced Rafael’s location twenty minutes ago, sir. An abandoned warehouse near the docks.”Adrian’s dark eyes remained fixed on the road ahead.“Are you certain he’s still there?”“Yes, sir.”Adrian pressed harder on the accelerator.The engine roared loudly.Rain hammered violently against the windshield while lightning flashed across the night sky, illuminating the city in brief dangerous flashes.His mind was elsewhere entirely.Lara.He kept thinking about her.The fear in her eyes earlier. The warmth of her body against his during the kiss.The way she looked at him afterward.Somethi
The CEO'S Little Lamb CHAPTER 43
CHAPTER 43Lara’s POVI was in love with Adrian Romano.The realization hit me fully the moment the office door closed behind him.I stared blankly at the empty space he had stood in just seconds ago, my heart beating so loudly that it almost annoyed me.No. Not almost. Definitely annoyed me.Because this was Adrian Romano we were talking about.Cold-hearted billionaire. Emotionally unavailable. Bossy. Arrogant. Insufferably attractive.And somehow, despite all my attempts to resist him, I had completely fallen for him.I groaned softly and buried my face in my hands.“This is bad,” I muttered to myself.Very bad. I had tried denying it at first.Tried convincing myself that I was only attracted to him physically.Which honestly would have made more sense because Adrian Romano looking like that should genuinely be considered unfair to humanity.But attraction alone didn’t explain why I constantly thought about him. Why his presence made me feel safe. Why his rare smiles affected me em
