Ouch! My CEO Fiancé Fell For His Maid

13- Not-So-Innocerrt (Book 2)

Eve’s pov

As we stood in the kitchen, I reached up and lightly touched his lips, causing him to gulp down nervously. He hadn't been expecting the sudden contact, but he couldn't help the warmth that spread through his eyes at my touch.

Slowly, his arms came around my waist, pulling me closer to him.

"I missed you," he whispered, his voice low and filled with longing. "I missed us, Eve."

My heart swelled at his words, and I knew what he was talking about. Because I felt the same way.

"I missed us too/ I replied softly, my lips brushing against his as I spoke.

For a moment, we just stood there, lost in each other's embrace. The warmth of his body against mine felt like home, and I knew that I never wanted to let him go.

"Can we start again?" he asked suddenly, his voice hesitant but filled with hope.

I looked up at him, my eyes meeting his. I could see the vulnerability there, the fear of rejection. But I knew that I couldn't deny him this. Not when I felt the same way.

It might not be love. Yet it was something more than friendship.

Nodding slowly, I leaned up and kissed him again, pouring all my love and passion into the kiss. At that moment, nothing else mattered. We were together, and that was all that we needed.

As we pulled away from each other, our eyes locked. This time, without warning he was the one who leaned forward and took my lips in his to claim them.

I at once gave up and started responding to the kiss. Just a few minutes back when I thought he was ignoring me, I guess I was wrong. The man seemed to know when to give me space and when to blow my mind with those magical kisses.

Leaning into his hard body, I moaned and went still when his hardness touched my inner thigh. He must have sensed my stiffness because he not only pulled back but held me by my shoulders.

"Damn, Eve. Come to my place." My eyes went wide with this sudden and unexpected invitation.

"What?" I chuckled.

"I am serious, love." He cupped my cheek gently, "I promise I will behave like a gentleman. I will cook food for you. We will watch a movie of your choice. We will talk."

I tried to push back my Elijah back in my mind. He used to say the same.

Later he had become confident and used to pass those dirty jokes.

"What are you thinking, long legs?" He waved his hand before my eyes. His heavy voice broke the trance I was in.

I blinked a few times, trying to shake off my thoughts before focusing back on him. "I'm thinking that you're being awfully sweet and gentlemanly, Mr. Adonis. Are you feeling, okay?’ I teased him, chewing my lower lip.

He chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Yes, I’m feeling just fine.

Just trying to impress you, that's all." He said while touching my nose tip.
