All Chapters of The Ruthless CEO's Obsession : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

SOPHIE I’m freaking out.Ethan is on a mission, but I’m afraid it’s going to get him killed.He’s insisting I head back to Seattle.I’m scared about what might happen, and I don’t want to be away from him.“Ethan, I’m not leaving Boston without you.”He cups my face.“Yes, you are.”“No,” I adamantly say.“Sophie.....”“No! If you want me back in Seattle, then you’re coming with me.”“It’s too dangerous here,” Ethan insists.I get up off him.“You can’t force me. I’m not going until you’re on the plane next to me.”“Sophie....”I cut him off again.“Stop.”I start to leave the room.“Don’t walk away from me, Sophie.”I spin around and glare at him.“Then stop telling me what to do.”“I’m trying to protect you.”I point at him.“This conversation is over.”I spin to go in the other room.Ethan stands and comes after me.He grabs my arm and spins me toward him.“Why do you have to always fight me on everything?”“Why do you always have to claim you’re trying to protect me then keep me

SOPHIE My eyes keep fluttering open and closed, and I beg him not to stop.I want him to keep going and take me higher, but Ethan holds me right on the edge. Every part of my body feels alive, and the tension keeps building until I can hardly stand it.He continues teasing me, giving me just enough to make me want more.Each time I think I can’t take another second of it, the feeling grows stronger. I never knew it was possible to feel this much without reaching the end.His hands hold me firmly at the hips, and I move closer to him, unable to keep still.“Oh God, please!” I cry.A soft laugh escapes him, and I tighten my hold on him, desperate for him to understand how badly I want him.I move against him again, and when he finally gives me what I have been begging for, the pleasure rushes through me all at once.I cry out his name.My whole body trembles in Ethan's arms. The room seems to spin around me, and for a moment, everything fades into white.When Ethan finally lifts his

ETHAN Crap.We’re here again.Jesus Ethan, you need to get this through her head.I try to pull her back to me, but she pushes back, so I grab her and pick her up.“Ethan, put me down.”I walk over to the chair and sit down with her in my lap.“Ethan!”Sophie’s glare is back and once again directed at me.I reach for her head and hold it next to mine.“Just stop talking and let me have my say, will you?”She takes a deep breath and bites on her lip again.Scanning her hazel eyes, I tell her, “Stop trying to give me an out every five minutes.”Seriously.This is never going to be a reason for us not to be together.“But—”I cut her off.“No.”Just get it out of your head.If we decide we want kids, we will adopt or foster or find a surrogate or something.Whatever you want to try, I’ll do, but stop making this a reason we can’t be together.“They won’t have my blood and maybe not yours,” she blurts out.I jerk my head back in shock.“So?”Would you really care about that?“No, but wou

SOPHIE Once the plane lands and we get into the car, I dial Ethan.“Hey, babe,” he says when he picks up.“Hey. I am going to my apartment to get my bags ready.”I want to ask him about his meeting, but before I left, we promised not to talk about those things on the phone so we stay safe.“Good. I forgot to tell you that I do not have much food in my place.”I laugh. “I will be fine.”He clears his throat. “I miss you already.”My heart beats fast. “I miss you, too.”I hear noises in the background.“Hold on.”I hear Ethan’s covered voice.“Do you have to go?”I ask.“Nixon just walked in.”“Okay. Go handle your business.”“All right. I will call you later.”“Sounds good. Love you.”“Love you, too, Sophie.”I hang up the phone, and a heavy feeling stays in my chest.I know that until Ethan comes back safe and sound, this bad feeling will not leave me.The car stops in front of Sophie's apartment.I quickly step inside with my bodyguards to unpack my suitcase and pack clean clothes,

ETHAN “I own companies under several fake names. I learned a long time ago that owning too much in this industry puts a target on your back. But I possess all the moving pieces to create as much insulin as you want.”“As much as you want?”Eric licks his lips and taps the table with his finger. “Yep. So, the only thing you want from my company is insulin?”“Yes. But why haven’t you done anything with it?”“Honestly, I don’t like what’s happening with the insulin pricing and monopoly. But it’s a losing battle fighting the insurance companies. Even if I owned the biggest supply, the insurance companies and all the middlemen wouldn’t be cut out. It’s too big a political system. I didn’t want to make money off people that way.”I run my hand through my hair, taking all this information in.“The other projects in my company you don’t care about?”“Honestly, no. I’m sorry, but my only agenda is to drop the price on insulin so people have fair access to it.”I realize I might completely hav
