Semua Bab The CEO'S Little Lamb : Bab 71 - Bab 80

CHAPTER 71Lara’s POVI don’t think I had ever felt this peaceful before. The room was quiet except for the soft hum of the city outside and Adrian’s steady heartbeat beneath my ear.I was laying against his chest, one of his arms wrapped loosely around my waist while my fingers moved lazily across his skin. He was comfortably warm. The kind of warmth that made me want to stay exactly where I was forever.My fingertips traced random shapes over the hard muscles of his chest before drifting toward the dark tattoo along his shoulder. I traced it absentmindedly. Once. Then again.Adrian’s fingers slid slowly through my hair. Neither of us had spoken for several minutes, but it didn’t feel awkward. It felt easy. Safe infact.Which was terrifying considering the man I was talking about was Adrian Romano.A man who used to glare at people like emotions personally offended him.And yet here he was, lying in bed with me after making love with me, gently playing with my hair like he’d been mad

CHAPTER 73Lara’s POVWaking up beside Adrian Romano was becoming a serious threat to my productivity. Because once again, I found myself lying in his bed staring at him instead of doing anything responsible.Morning light spilled softly across the room, catching against the dark sheets and the sharp lines of Adrian’s face. His green eyes were already open, watching me with quiet amusement like he’d been awake for a while.“You’re staring again,” he murmured.I didn’t even bother denying it anymore.“You’re distracting before eight in the morning. It’s rude.”His hand slid lazily along my waist beneath the blanket, pulling me a little closer.“You complained about that yesterday too.”“And yet you continue behaving this way.”“I don’t recall apologizing.”I sighed dramatically and buried my face briefly against his chest. His laugh rumbled softly beneath me.God.I was becoming dangerously attached to that sound. Unfortunately for both of us, work still existed. Which meant eventuall

CHAPTER 75Lara’s POVThe moment my mother opened the door, I knew I she had missed me so much.“Lara!”She pulled me into a hug before I could even properly step inside the house, and suddenly I was seventeen again instead of a grown woman with a corporate job and a billionaire boyfriend.My father appeared from the living room almost immediately afterward.“There she is,” he said warmly.I smiled despite myself. Home. No matter how old I got, this place still felt like home.Warm lighting, familiar furniture, picture frames hanged on the walls, the smell of food already drifting from the kitchen.Comfort.My mother pulled back slightly to inspect my face like she was searching for hidden problems.“You look thinner.”“I literally saw you two months ago.”“And you were thinner then too.”My father nodded seriously from behind her. “She’s right.”I sighed dramatically while walking farther into the house.“This family enjoys attacking me.”“We enjoy feeding you,” my mother corrected.

CHAPTER 77Lara's POV"How did you meet him?"“Mom.” I groaned. My mother pointed her spoon at me."Lara."I pointed mine back."Mom."She narrowed her eyes. I narrowed mine right back.Dad quietly continued eating breakfast like this was the most normal thing in theworld. My mother sighed dramatically."You've been dating this man for months and I still don't know how you met him.""First of all we just started dating. And I met him at work.""I know that part.""Then why are you asking?""Because that's not the full story."I immediately looked away. Because it definitely wasn't the full story.There was absolutely no way I was telling my parents that my first encounter with Adrian Romano involved me getting drunk in a club and almost getting abused by some scary looking guys and Adrian saving me from them. Some stories were better left untold."We're colleagues," I said."Lara.""Mom."She threw her hands into the air."Your daughter is impossible." Dad chuckled."She gets it fro

CHAPTER 79ADRIAN'S POVLara was driving me crazy; I had to admit that. She was so beautiful. I could feel the warmth of her smooth, dewy skin against my body. Her moans were like music to my ears. I wished I could keep us in that moment forever.We remained wrapped up in each other's company for a few more hours, and every moment felt incredible. I'd never enjoyed being with a woman this much before, not even with those top models.Eventually, she fell asleep, resting her head on my chest with her legs draped around my waist, and I loved it. For the first time, I found myself thinking about having a family... a real family. It was something I had never considered before. Marriage had never appealed to me, not even when my father constantly brought up Martina. Lara had truly changed me, and surprisingly, I liked the idea.My phone vibrated, breaking the peaceful silence of the room, which was already growing dark.I groaned inwardly as I carefully got out of bed, trying not to wake La
