All Chapters of My Ex-CEO : Chapter 21 - Chapter 26

His other hand moved up to rest on my waist, and I could feel the ache within me intensify. I didn’t know how much longer I could hold back the hunger burning through me.“I want you so bad, Carmen,” he whispered, his voice low and sensual like silk wrapped in heat. His words ignited something deep inside me. My insides flipped, and my heart pounded violently against my ribcage. I tried to speak, but nothing came out. I just stared at him, my breath quickening. The heat between us was unbearable I needed to quench it. His hands pulled me even closer, and his lips found mine again in a light, lingering kiss. Then he trailed kisses across my chin, then my cheeks.My breath hitched as he moved to my jawline, then down to my neck. His head tilted into mine as his lips traced the curve of my collarbones. I found my arms instinctively wrapping around his neck. He must have taken it as permission, because the next second, he lifted me up with his hands cupping my butt, kissing me deeply.I c

The cool breeze hit us the moment we landed. Mike was already at the airport, waiting to pick us up. “Hey,” I greeted. “Welcome back,” he said with a warm smile.Mike opened the trunk, and Blake placed our luggage inside. “Let’s go, Carmen,” Blake said, reaching for my hand.

But I’m back now.” I grinned. “Umm… how about girls’ night at my place?” “Yes!” she replied instantly. “Finally! I’ll get to escape my brother. He’s such a pain in the ass. Don’t

I woke up earlier than expected which should’ve been great since I had work to prepare for. I glanced beside me and saw Chelsea sleeping peacefully, curled up like a kitten, while Fab was still snoring softly. I nudged Fab gently.She murmured, “What?”“You have work in an hour,” I whispered.She didn’t quite catch it the first time, then suddenly bolted upright. “What did you say?” she asked, rubbing her face.“Shhh,” I whispered, pointing at Chelsea. “You’ll wake her up. Go shower, I’ll fix us breakfast.”She groaned, nodded, and dragged herself toward the bathroom.I tiptoed out of the room and made my way to the kitchen. I quickly started whipping up some scrambled eggs and toast. The aroma filled the kitchen, warm and buttery.Just then, Chelsea walked in, rubbing her eyes and dragging her feet.“Hey, baby,” I smiled, crouching a little to cup her face. “Are you okay?”She nodded, still half asleep. “Yeah.”“Come sit, breakfast is almost ready,” I said, pulling a chair out for he
