The Heartless CEO's Only Temptation

(ADELA’S POV) “Well I’m pretty sure she's capable of wiping her breasts on her own!!!” He screamed. In a heartbeat, he turned to face me and raised his hand to hit me. I closed my eyes, bracing myself for the impact, When suddenly.. EARLIER THAT MORNING (ADELA’S POV) “Adela..” He whispered softly. He kissed me all over, never taking his hands off me. I gripped him for support, allowing myself to fall deeper into the passion. “Adela..” He moaned a little louder than before. My heart rate went up. My body temperature increased, so did his. His muscles were tense. He thrusted in and out of me tenderly yet passionately. We gripped each other tight as we were edged closer to c****x and just as I was about to.. “ADELA!” My boyfriend, Alan, screamed my name. I woke up with a jump. I saw him staring at weirdly. I was half-asleep and confused. “Hmm? What's wrong..” “Who's name are you moaning?” “Name? Who's name?” I asked. “Never mind.. the CEO I’m signing a contract with is coming over today. Could you make some snacks and stuff?” “Yeah.. Yeah Of course baby” “Thanks a bunch babe” He kissed my forehead before he left. I knew I was dreaming about someone but.. “Why would I be moaning a name?” I thought. I wasn't dreaming about anyone in particular. I shook off the eery feeling and got up. I tidied up the bed and got ready. I started on the pastries I was making and set up my camera to film my process for my socials. I had just finished when the penthouse elevator made a ding and the doors opened. A tall muscular man walked through. I didn't know why but i was drawn to him. Other than the fact that he was gorgeous, there was just something about him. “Adela..” The memory of the man in my dream came back to me for some reason. Then I suddenly snapped back and remembered.. “The CEO Alan is signing a contract with!!”. I walked over to welcome him. “Hi! Welcome. I’m Adela, Alan’s girlfriend.” I said. There was something about the way he stared at me. Like he knew me. My palms became sweaty, my brain went fuzzy. Butterflies fluttered around in my stomach. Despite how much of a romantic I am, I hadn’t gotten those since I was 13. I found it hard to say anything else. My mind just would think, and my mouth wouldn't talk. Weirdly, his face seemed to be turning red and I noticed beads of sweat on his forehead. Am I making him uncomfortable? Just great. “Nikolai.” He responded, as he took my hand gently and kissed the back of my palm gently. The simple gesture made my temperature hot and my whole face red. What am I doing? I just met him AND I have a boyfriend! “Well, please join me this way. Alan will be back shortly.” I said and led him to the lounge space where Alan always hosted formal guests. “Your furniture is nice. Scandinavian style. It's neat.” He said. “Thanks. It was my idea. I handled everything when we renovated.” I replied. I don't know what came over me but I decided to make small talk. I sat across from him to pour him a glass of champagne, I had already put a saucer of cake slices in front of him. “Champagne and pastries? I’ve never seen that combination before.” He sounded.. amused? “Well I guess I hadn't really.. thought out how odd it is. Would you like a coffee?” I replied lightly. “I drink coffee everyday, I’m eager to try your champagne and pastries combination.” He said. Was he making small talk? He didn't seem like one to do so the way Alan described him. As I was pouring out the rest of the champagne, my hand slipped and I knocked over the bottle which sent almost of the liquid flying towards me. Some of the liquid spilled on me, and the rest on the floor. He rushed quickly to grab the bottle before it continue to pour. He grabbed a tissue and began wiping my chest area where it had spilled. I felt electricity run through me once he made contact with my skin. He made eye contact with me and my cheeks flushed. I could feel goosebumps all over. “What's going on here?” We both turned to see Alan standing there, staring at us displeasingly. “Babe!..I was just..” “She was pouring me some champagne, and it spilled.” Nikolai said briefly and said nothing more. At first, the way he cut in confused me, and I wondered why he was defending me. “Well, I’m pretty sure she was capable of wiping her breasts on her own!!” Alan spat out. “Alan! It wasn't like that..” “Oh please! He was clearly wiping all over your chest!” Nikolai remained quiet in all of this, I was panicking. Surely Alan didn’t think I was being inappropriate with someone I just met? And the Nikolai bastard wasn't doing anything to help by just sitting there and smirking! “You must want me to wipe that silly smirk off your face!” Alan threatened Nikolai. “I’d like you to try but I hardly think you could.” He responded calmly yet arrogantly. At this point, Alan was red all over and ready to explode. I was stressed just trying to calm things down by explaining. In the twinkle of an eye, Alan turned to face me. He raised his hand to hit me and I closed my eyes to brace myself for the impact. When suddenly, I heard a loud blow and a yelp pain. I opened my eyes to see Alan on the ground, howling in pain. Panic overcame me. I didn’t know what to think or do. I grabbed my stuff and left the lounge. I didn't know what would become of the arrangement they made for their contract, but I knew I had to leave. “April! APRIL! APR..” “Yes! Quit yelling my name Dells!” “We gotta go!!” “What? Why?” “No time to explain, just get your stuff!!” I left the apartment with April, certain that I didn't want to come back. Alan had been weird in the recent months, and I shouldn't have waited for him to almost hit me to realize I needed to go. I stayed at a hotel with April for two nights, as I looked up a very small place for us to stay that I could pay for immediately with some of my savings. I had a part time job babysitting for a wealthy couple. My pay there helped me save up for moments like this. The next week after the incident, I was babysitting Theo. The couple was getting ready to go out. I was in the kitchen with Theo, laughing and playing with him while I cooked when I heard the doorbell ring. “Adela! Could you get the door for me, love? I’m not fully dressed!” She called out to me from her walk in closet. “Of course!” I replied. I left Theo in his high chair as I went to the door. And as if fate was on a mission.. “Hello Adela.”
