Ivan’s POVAll my life, after I became an orphan and with Lexi trampling on my heart I’d always thought that falling in love would be a long stretch until fate brought her back to me again and maybe then we were just a bunch of stupid high school kids but now we’re grown.We’re older and I desperately don’t want to mess things up between us. Lexi’s groan jolted me out of my thought as she turned over and placed her hand on my chest.Her bare body pushing up against mine, her breasts touching my ribs and her faint breath on my skin was just everything I needed early in the morning.Gently pushing her away from me, I stood up quietly because I wanted to do something nice. Leaving the bedroom silently, I made my way to the kitchen to make her breakfast.It’s the weekend and with what happened yesterday I believe she needed a break, one where I’ll be with her throughout the day.Opening the fridge, I brought out eggs and decided to make her omelette, steak and maybe everything I could fin

Lexi’s POVIt’s been three days and Ivan hasn’t stopped being sweet to me. Over the weekend, Ivan would bring me breakfast in bed claiming that I was vulnerable and shouldn’t be working.Sighing, I looked through my closet as I searched for what to wear. It's a Monday and also my first time back in the office after what happened last week.“What do you think you’re doing?” Ivan asked, raising an eyebrow as I turned to see him knotting his tie, “where are you going?” He inquired.“Work, it’s Monday and I’m fine now, and…” I tried to explain but Ivan silenced me with a kiss instead as he pulled me closer to him.“Oh pige,” he started with a sigh, calling me a pet name he’s gotten so used to, pige, which was short for pigeon sounded good to him although I’d never understand why.“You’re staying home today,” he affirmed, releasing me to go back to knotting his tie while I stared at him dumbfoundedly.“Why?” I finally asked, not understanding why he would want me to stay back home with Cel

Lexi’s POV“Hey!” Ivan’s voice made me lift my head up from the last file I was working on. I had no idea how long I’ve been sitting behind the desk working but I was sure that it was for hours because it wasn’t until now did I start feeling the pain in my fingers and back.“You’re back,” I smiled, “I’ll just finish up with this and… done!” I added before standing up to hug Ivan, he looked stressed and he didn't need to tell me how his day went because I could already guess.Smiling, we walked out of the study together, on our way to his room Celine saw us and I didn’t miss the pure hatred and disgust in her eyes as we passed her but I also didn’t care.Ivan stood behind me as we were about to go in, I knew he was excited and in such a good mood but just when I was about to ask why he placed his palm on my eyes before opening the door.“I have a surprise for you, but you can’t see until I tell you so just keep your eyes closed and wait for my order to open them.” He finished.It was e

Lexi’s POVBreathless, Ivan and I rested our backs against the car seat as we fought to catch our breath, “that was risky.” I breathed, my eyes closed and I smiled as I remembered the crazy adventure Ivan and I just went on.“And fun.” He responded and I nodded in agreement. Ivan and I stared at our clothes in the car for a while and shrugged as Ivan continued the drive home.I’ve never had a fun night like this one and it was also the first time in more than six months that Ivan and I had spent the most time together.Pulling in the house driveway, Ivan opened the car door for me and before I knew what was happening my feet had already left the ground and a loud laugh escaped my mouth as Ivan slapped my naked ass before walking into the room.Roughly, he threw me on the bed and although I’d just had the craziest orgasm like minutes ago, I craved for more. My body still yearned for him and I knew that it was probably because of the fact that he was traveling the next day.“What do you

Ivan’s POV“I miss you too, Pige,” I smiled. For some reason she hated the nickname but somehow got comfortable with it as I kept calling her.“These past two weeks without you have been unbearable but now it’s almost over and I’ll be home soon.” I assured her with a smile.I miss her too, so much that even words cannot begin to express how much I wish I could just finalize everything I came here to do so I can see her again.I can’t wait to see her, her smell, her smile and the way her eyes light up whenever she’s talking about the things she loves. I could listen to Lexi talk all day and all night without getting tired and bored and two weeks without her felt like I was in hell.She has influenced me in ways that I can never imagine, changed me in so many ways that sometimes even I am left in awe at the kind of man that Lexi had shaped me to become.I can’t wait to get back to the state and most importantly the house, smiling, I couldn’t help but remember how the same house I’m so e
