Loving the CEO novel Chapter 24

That office was very cluttered and it contained a desk, paintings that were thrown all over the room, and two sofas, one that was on top of the desk and the other that was lying on the floor and it needed a thorough sweeping and wiping. The office was to be cleaned by the janitorial staff tomorrow because it had been too shabby for far too long. I know I would be considered evil to know this and still let her do it but I had no choice. She was determined to work to the point that she had annoyed me and made me frustrated that the veins in my head started throbbing at an irregular beat and I could feel a headache coming on that I had to send her downstairs to clean that dirty office. At least one good thing came out of this, the janitorial staff would be happy that they did not have to do it

Continuing my work, I could still feel my headache that had subsided a few hours ago coming back. Getting up, I walked downstairs to the kitchen where I made a cup of coffee. I was going to go up back to my office when I stopped and walked to the room where Emily was. "Emily?" I called out before entering. Turning the door handle, I walked inside and was astonished by what I saw. The office looked immaculate, the floors were glistening and I could actually see the walls. The sofas were lined against the wall in the corner and the desk stood in the middle of the room with the wood glistening. I was shocked that my mouth had hit the floor.

"Cat got your tongue?" she asked, with a smirk on her lips. Walking around the desk and sitting on a chair that I didn't know had existed in the pile she threw her feet up on the desk. I would have told her to get down but when I saw her legs my eyes trailed from her shoes upwards to the hem of the skirt where the rest of her thighs were hidden. I knew right there and then that those legs led straight to heaven. I was like a horny dog, in heat when I saw her in that position and if I didn't get my shit together, I would most likely be ripping her clothes off her before wrapping one of those legs around my waist then entering her womanly heaven. Clearing my throat, I took my head out of the gutter and went back to the issue at hand.

Looking around once more, I didn't know Emily had it in her. I thought she would've given up and gone home and rest, but no, she actually did clean the messy room making it sparkle and smelling fresh. "Mr. Jacob, are you speechless? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Clearing my throat again, I spoke in my authoritative voice. "Ms. Martinez, I see that you have accomplished your task and accomplished it well, I must commend you on a job well done."

"Well thank you, sir," she replied sarcastically.

"Drop the sarcastic act Mis Martinez, you can leave and go home now." Nodding her head, with one of the brightest and prettiest smiles I have ever seen before, she took down her feet and got up, and walked to the door. Simultaneously reaching for the door handle to open the now-closed door, our hands touched and I could feel the electricity coursing through my body once more just like the time when we first met. Staring into her eyes, I could see pain, hurt, betrayal and mistrust shining through them. They were telling me a story that I didn't have the slightest idea about but desperately needed to know. All I knew was that I wanted to unravel it and give her the comfort and reassurance she needed. To be the man that would protect her and keep her safe.

I could feel my feet moving and my body getting closer to her. Now standing mere inches from each other, I looked down at her lip and saw them twitch and I couldn't help but think of doing something that I wanted to do ever since I laid my eyes on them. I wanted to kiss, taste, and savor the sweetness that I knew they possessed before our tongues met. Leaning down, I was about to capture her lips into mine when she backed away. While doing so, she moved her hand which bumped my hand causing the coffee to be spilled all over my suit.
