All Chapters of The Ruthless CEO's Obsession : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

SOPHIE As promised, Ethan spends a few hours ravishing me. We shower, and, after I put on my makeup and diffuse my hair, I ask him, “Where are we going?”“At the risk of sounding touristy, I booked us a table at Space Needle SkyCity in the Seattle Center.”“That’s a nice place. Why do you seem nervous?”He shrugs. “I don’t know Seattle. I’m not sure where the good places are.”I stand up and put my arms around his waist. “I’m going to have to break you in.”“Break me in? That sounds kind of fun. Yes, please break me in.” He wiggles his brows at me.“Ha, ha! Get your dick out of your brain!”He holds his hands up. “What am I supposed to think when you say that to me?”“Funny. I meant break you into the Seattle scene.”“Whenever you want to break me in, I’m a willing participant,” he teases some more.Shaking my head, I roll my eyes.“Seriously, though, is that too touristy of a place?”“It’s a great place. I’ll go there whenever you want to take me there.”“Really?”“Yes. Really.”His

SOPHIE My heart flutters, but I turn away. His expression is too intense. I’m not used to others gushing about me or telling me they are proud of me. And I don’t doubt he is because I see it in his eyes.Ethan pulls my chin back to him. “What’s wrong?”“Nothing. I’m just not used to other people praising me.” I lean in and kiss him so we can get off the subject. Well, that and his luscious lips are right next to mine, begging me to claim them.The waitress comes back and interrupts us again. I smirk at her once more, and she turns slightly red this time.Good. Serves you right for touching my man. Hopefully, she doesn’t spit in my food.We order our dinner, and she leaves.Ethan turns toward me. “What organization does Dawn work at?”I pull out the card. “One I’ve never heard of. Sensecare?” I hand the card over to Ethan.“A resource for nonprofits,” he reads off the card.“That sounds different.”“You know, I was on a board in Boston that sounds like what this is. It was kind of coo

ETHAN I smirk at Sophie and lift my eyebrow. She has never shown any jealousy over me before, but she is doing it tonight. I like seeing her act this way. She is finally claiming me.Sophie looks at the waitress with wide eyes. “No, thank you. We will eat our dessert at home. A few times.”The waitress turns red. She grabs our dirty plates and hurries away.I laugh so hard that tears come to my eyes. “I cannot believe you just said that.”Sophie tries to act innocent. She fails to hide her smile and starts laughing with me. We are still laughing when the waitress returns. She drops Sophie's box on the table and puts down the bill.I pull out my wallet and give her my card. She swipes it fast. The payment goes through. She tells us to have a good night and leaves right away.I stand up and help Sophie get out of her seat. I wrap my arm around her waist and lead her to the lobby. On our way out, I notice a few men staring at her. I pull her closer to my side.She does not seem to notic

SOPHIE When I wake up, Ethan’s face is resting on his elbow, and he’s smiling at me.“What are you smiling at?”“This is the first time you’ve stayed here and not left while I was sleeping.”Ethan moves his finger across my thigh.“I did agree to marry you last night, so I guess you’re going to wake up next to me more often.”He asked me to marry him, and I said yes. I didn’t even examine it. I just said yes. I should be panicking, but I’m not. I never thought I would fall for anyone so fast, but I have. Ethan is the right person for me, and I know it in my heart.His smile grows bigger, and he moves closer to my lips. “Maybe I should show you how good mornings can be around here.”“What time is it?”“Early enough.”I laugh. “I take more than two minutes to get ready.”“It’s only six. And work is just an elevator ride away.” He moves his finger closer to the inside of my thigh. My body moves, and my legs open up naturally.A proud look comes across his face and his lips are quickly o

ETHAN When Sophie and I arrive at Maple Bean Café, everyone stops talking. Maya and Vanessa are giving Sophie the evil eye, and Chase and Jamison seem a bit amused.I pull out a chair for Sophie. We sit down, and I put my arm around her.“Well?” Maya says.Sophie has her, “where do we start” expression on her face. I grin at our friends. “So, Sophie and I are getting married.”“And you couldn’t tell your best friends this?” Vanessa gives Sophie another stare down.“I only asked her a few hours ago. I haven’t even bought her a ring yet.”“You didn’t buy her a ring?” Maya glares at me.“Maya! Behave!” Sophie tells her.Chase clears his throat. “Why didn’t you get her a ring?”“Thank you,” Vanessa says to Chase. He winks at her.I’m going to have to talk with him about not messing around with Vanessa. Sophie will kill me if he does.To turn the tables, I’m about to ask him what that wink was all about, but before I can, Sophie cries out, “You’re all supposed to be happy for us. Not angr
