A Stolen Kiss From THE CEO!

236 Hurtful Words

Leon was astonished by the level of anger Ella had been harboring when she pushed him away like he meant nothing to her. He was perplexed by the chillness in her voice when she said that one word, ‘yes.’

He understood that she was angry at him for leaving her behind. But he couldn’t understand why she was making a big issue out of it when she was the one who permitted him to go with his mum.

“Why is the life of a woman so complicated?” Leon massaged his forehead in agony. “How is it that they tell you one thing and mean the other? Could it be that she wanted me to go with her when she asked me to go with my mum?”

Leon breathed down his frustration and shook off the anger building up inside of him. He walked up to Ella and stood by her side while resisting the urge to touch her. He also dropped his lantern and like her, he focused his attention on the floating lantern.

After a few minutes of deafening silence between them, Leon decided that he have had enough. He moved and stood in front of her, obstructing her view. He was about to touch her cheek but his hand hung in mid-air when he saw her glistening tears and her frosty stares.

“Babe! Did I hurt you this much? Why are you so cold to me?”

“Because you claim you love me but you obviously don’t! It makes me wonder if I’m just the lady that tames your sex drive.”

Ella sniffed and walked away from the water as the cool night breeze and the cold salty ocean water was stiffening her joints.

Leon felt as though Ella had slapped him on the cheek with those hurting words. He felt a hammer slam on his chest as he watched her walk away from him without looking back.

.....

In a daze, he found himself swiftly moving toward her. He caught her by the arm and spun her around to face him. While wrapping his hand around her waist to prevent her from leaving him again.

“What the hell do you mean by what you just said?”

Leon was on the verge of losing control of his emotions when he noticed that Ella was shivering from the cold. Without giving it a second thought, he quickly took off his jacket and covered her shoulders with it, while wrapping her in his arms to warm her up.

This time around, Ella didn’t struggle to free herself from his hold. She was thankful for his swift action and warm embrace. So, she just remained in his arms sobbing quietly.

Although both of them were feeling hurt at the moment, they remained in each other’s arms, enjoying each other’s warm embrace. They didn’t say anything to each other as their slowing thumping hearts which seemed to complement each other, did the harmonized communication.

When Leon observed that Ella’s legs were beginning to wobble from excessive standing, he lifted her into his arms and left the beachfront to where the cars were parked.

Immediately, the first limousine driver saw Leon coming with a beautiful lady in his arms. He quickly ran to the passenger door and proactively opened it to grant them entry.

“Take us to the Rosett hotel!” Leon instructed dryly as he carefully got into the car.

“Yes, Sir!” The driver politely bowed and closed the door. Then he hurried over to the driver’s side, got into the car, and zoomed off.

All through the drive to the hotel, Ella didn’t raise her head from Leon’s chest or say a word to him. Her eyes were shut as if she was sleeping but at an interval of every two minutes, she would sniff quietly to clear her nasal cavity.

Leon could see that she was silently crying and also ignoring him. He wanted to say something to her to make her feel better but he knew she didn’t need his words at the moment. So he allowed his actions to do the talking. He continued to gently stroke and cuddle her until they arrived at the hotel.

Earlier, Leon had made a hotel reservation should in case he needed space from his mum and nagging sister. Another reason he also made the reservation was Incase Ella needed somewhere to stay. He didn’t want a repeat of Ella staying over at a random friend’s house.

When they finally arrived at the hotel, Leon instructed the limo driver, to return to the beach. He quickly got his hotel suite key card from the reception desk and left abruptly.

“Leon, I need to use the bathroom.” Ella finally broke the silence between them when they entered their hotel suite and shut the door.

Although her sweet soothing voice was more like a whisper, Leons was thrilled to hear it. He even forgot the fact that he should be angry at her for her earlier hurtful words. The only mission he now had in his heart was to please her.

“Okay, my love!”

Leon happily sauntered across the room into the bathroom and put her down. He held on to her for a few seconds, to ensure that her legs were not wobbly before he let her go to ease herself.

Ella sat down on the toilet seat, watching her husband attend to her like a child. She watched as he prepared the bathtub with warm steaming sweet smelling water and this put a smile on her face.

Her brief smile didn’t go unnoticed by her dotting husband, who had practically turned him into a male servant just to please her.

“Your bathwater is ready, my love. Do you need me to help you remove your clothes?” Leon asked innocently with a devilish glint in his eyes.

“Yes, please do!” Ella started by freeing her hair from the side flowery hair clip. Although her face was flushed from Leon’s intense gaze, she tried not to look into his eyes as she could tell he was hoping for makeup sex as usual.

Like a child being offered a priceless gift for the first time, Leon excitedly walked up to her and slowly removed her dress, while savoring every inch of her beauty with his lustfully beaming eyes.

His fingers fondly stroked the captivating pearl around her neck and he wonder where she had gotten it from. f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

As if Ella was reading his mind, she gently stopped his teasing fingers and move toward the bathtub ignoring what her seductress body was doing to him.

“Mrs. Richmond gifted me these pearls and took care of me when you left me to be by your mother’s side. She made me feel special and loved. How I wish that she was my mother-in-law!”

Ella avoided the horrified look on Leon’s face as she slowly took off her undies, stepped into the bathtub, and carefully sat down; feeling relieved after voicing out her ire.

“If you wish Mrs. Richmond is your mother-in-law, do you also wish Justin is your husband?” Leon’s eyes suddenly darkened.
