APOV

Ever since Christian left to go to Thailand my life which was quickly becoming chaotic, was now similar to what I had before. It felt odd to constantly be waking up to messages from Christian wishing me a good night, or good morning. The time difference between us was difficult to manage.

Every morning I woke up at 6 o'clock to call him, we spoke quietly afraid to wake the rest of the house. I felt like a teenager trying to hide my boyfriend from my parents.

"Hey baby." I heard Christian whisper; his voice had hints of his uncertain mood.

"Hey…"

"I know it's only been a week baby; I want you to know how much I miss you." His confession made my heart leap.

"I miss you too." Why did it feel like there's a but coming?

"I've got bad news though…"

"You aren't coming back tomorrow?"

"No baby, I'm not." I sighed.

"I understand."

"I know you do… I wish I could be there; you have no idea how much I wish I was there."

"Oh?" My body responded to the husky tones of his voice. "Why would that be?"

"Because I'd be showing you exactly how much I miss you." I moaned softly. "Believe me baby, you wouldn't doubt how much I miss you."

I really didn't doubt it, ever since he awoke that deep carnal desire in me, I've had difficulties keeping it beneath the surface. "Fuck, what is it, Taylor? Fine, I'm coming."

"You have to go?"

"Yeah baby, I do. I'll be home soon baby." We said our goodbyes and hung up the phone, knowing I wasn't going to go back to sleep I decided to get up and start cooking everyone breakfast, another day another routine of get up, get dressed, make sure everyone's fed, take Jasmine to day-care, try to do some work, make dinner for everyone, repeat.

Luckily Jasmine didn't fight me too hard today, I didn't have the energy today to stop her from dressing up as a ballerina princess, so she went to day-care like that, much to the staff's amusement.

After going back home, cleaning the apartment from top to bottom, doing the laundry for everyone and folding it already to be put away I officially had nothing else to do.

I decided to go into the office rather than trying to be productive at home by myself. Thankfully, university had essentially ended this week meaning I had extra time to myself this week, which is also a negative since Christian isn't here, the moment I was on my floor Ian immediately came over.

"Ana! What brings you in today?" He was smiling warmly at me, Ian stood at around 6"2' tall, his blonde hair was impeccably groomed styled in the current fashion. Green eyes danced with amusement as he watched me jump at the surprise.

"Ian, I've just decided to pop in to try and get some of the notes done you've requested."

"Oh fantastic, how long are you in today?"

"I'm thinking an hour or two, I have to go onto campus today to fill in some paperwork for graduation." He nodded.

"Cool, cool. Well glad to have you here Ana, fancy grabbing a cuppa later?" I kept the forced smile on my face.

"Not today Ian, very busy with all those notes you want." I scurried off with my laptop to my desk, there's a picture of Kate, Jasmine and I sitting on it, Kates's desk was on the opposite side of mine, I could see her cup of coffee was still hot so no doubt she was around somewhere.

I began to edit some news articles that had been sent to me, checking spelling, grammar, punctuation for publication. Adding any notes where the sentences didn't quite make sense of flow correctly. Ian had begun to request that I start adding towards the articles.

"Ana Banana, what are you doing here?" Kate sat at her desk and grinned at me, knowing exactly why I was here.

"Trying to fit in some extra work."

"Sure, sure. Has you know who come over already?" I rolled my eyes at her question, he was just friendly, that was all. "Oh, I can't wait for Mogul to find out about him, he will flip his shit."

"Oh, hush Kate." I opened my laptop and began to work, it was a few hours later when I was able to say I'd done a good job. I started to pack up my things and I could see Kate smirking at someone behind me.

"Ana, leaving already?"

"Yeah, have to run to the university, graduation paperwork remember?"

"Oh yeah! Ana, I'll drive us over. I forgot to do mine." I rolled my eyes at my best friend.

"Hurry up then."

"Why Kate's getting ready, want to head down to the café? We could grab a cup of coffee?" What is this man's fascination with coffee?

"No thanks, if I drink it now, I'll be up all night." I saw a twinkle in his eye which I quickly ignored it and turned to Kate begging with my eyes for her to hurry up. She relented and together we went down to the carpark heading directly for the university office.

"You know I'm only coming out because I knew you needed back up in there." She smirked.

"Fuck you, Kate. He's just super nice, that's all. A little invasive with questioning but still nice."

"That man wants into your panties Ana." She gave me a look at screamed you know I'm right.

"Whatever Kate, it doesn't matter anyway. I'd never sleep with anyone I work with."

"And you have a hot Mogul at your beck and call?"

"That too." Why would I pick someone else when I can have Christian? "But I'm not going to tell Ian I'm currently involved with Christian."

"Why not? It'd be amusing to see what happens."

"Because that would be rude Kate, and unwarranted."

"Fine, but if you do tell me, make sure I'm around, okay?"

"With popcorn?"

"Definitely."

It didn't take long to fill out the paperwork to ensure I was able to complete my graduation, we'd be attending the ceremony together next week.

We picked Jasmine up and headed home, waiting for this wretched week to finally be over.

CPOV

Having to call her and say that I wasn't going to come back home when expected was difficult, I wanted to hold her in my arms around, watch her hair fan around her when she slept. To see that little girl giggling and making the most out of every day.

Currently sitting in this god damn conference room as me beyond annoyed, not even the photo of my two girls was able to keep me calm. Having to sit opposite this infuriating woman has made me want to walk away from the project entirely.

"Christian, darling." Her voice grated my nerves, whilst prior to Ana she may have been attractive her honey olive skin, naturally dark hair and trimmed body would have caught my attention. All I notice now is how she looks almost like plastic compared to Ana.

"Joanna. Why did you summon me here at 8 o'clock at night?" I noticed the rest of her board were absent, the look on her face is what most women looked like when they saw me. As if they were imagining me naked and that look would have me on my knees before them.

How little they knew.

"I merely wanted to, negotiate." When she stood up from her chair, I noticed the satin dress she was currently wearing, the slit on the thigh went straight to her hips. If she moved slightly, I saw more of her than I currently desired.

I kept my gaze neutral whilst looking at her, I saw her hands begin to reach towards my chest when she got close to me. I immediately grabbed her hands and shoved them away from me. She refused to stop and tried again.

"Come on Christian, I have seen how you've been looking at me." She traced her fingers down her chest, over the breasts.

"With distain?" She laughed a little too high, a little too falsely.

"No, my dear man, with desire." I fought back the scoff. "I know why you came out here, why you choose to remain here."

"Because your fucking company get off their assess and complete this merger in a timely fashion?"

"You remain here, with me this late at night because you desire me."

I stood up and began to walk away from the woman, where the fuck was Taylor right now. I turned my gaze on her and saw her pant with need. "Listen here Joanne, I do not 'desire' you. I don't even like you."

"You don't have to play hard Christian, I'm already yours." She sat up on the table and spread her legs, she wasn't wearing any panties. I turned away from her and tried to walk out the conference room only to find it locked.

When the fuck did that happen?

"Look here, I have a girlfriend back home who I would cheat on, even if it would save the world."

"I won't tell if you don't." She panted.

I sent a message to Taylor who was currently working on getting the room unlocked, but without slamming the door down. At this stage I didn't give a shit about the property of the company.

I opted to turn away from her and ignore her presence, standing near the door waiting for Taylor. She decided to slowly take off her dress to stand naked before me, I only knew this since she threw the damn fucking thing at me.

I heard her moans and found the noises turned my stomach. She got louder and louder, and more difficult for me to pretend it wasn't happening. When she 'came' she screamed out my name so loud Taylor must have said 'fuck it' and literally came through the door shoulder first.

He looked to me immediately, with a rage I didn't know existed before realising I was perfectly dressed and the crazy fucking woman behind me was buck ass naked.

I walked immediately past him and called up the airline and booked a ticket directly to Seattle. I leaves in four hours; I didn't bother to go back to the hotel to get my things. They could burn them, ship them, keep them I didn't care. All I cared about was being able to go back home to Ana.

I was essentially bouncing in my seat while waiting for the plane to board, the waitress serving drinks in the lounge began to fawn over me until I gave her a look that screamed fuck off.

Taylor was organising details with Mrs. Jones for our arrival, I didn't bother sleeping when we got on the plane, I didn't care about hot fucking towels, or any drinks to 'calm my nerves'.

The moment the plane had landed I was out of my seat, taking long strides until I got out of the airport giving Taylor a nod before getting into a taxi headed straight for Ana's house. The flight was too long and annoying to bear thinking about, and no matter what happened from now I would not ever think of leaving the country with Ana or Jasmine again.

When the taxi pulled up outside their building I threw a punch of notes at him, ran out of the car and ran up the stairs several steps at a time, when I saw her apartment number I hammered on the door until she opened it.

When I saw there in her lounging clothes of track pants and a singlet, I stepped into the house, pulled her into my body and kissed her passionately. Kate was in the house as well for some reason, although it was around lunch time.

I saw her scuttle out of the house before I grabbed Ana in my arms and dragged her to her bedroom. I didn't care how desperate it made me look to want to be in her arms, or to lose myself in her body. All I cared about was that her lips were on my skin, slowly peeling my clothes off my body erasing the thoughts that woman had about me.

It was quick, hard and passionate when I took her, grunting into her neck as she tightened around me. The moans were heavenly, the cries of my name leaving her lips had me grunting hers in return.

I was back home, where I belonged.

After both reaching orgasm I pulled her into my chest and ran my fingers through her hair. "Hey baby." I whispered.

"Hey Christian." Her voice was breathy. "Not that I mind… But what are you doing here?"

"I just couldn't handle being away from you." I inhaled her scent enjoying the way it calmed me.

"Big tough CEO can't handle being on his own?" She mocked.

"And one of their senior staff decided to lock me in a conference room." I felt her tense in my arms. "She tried to seduce me, when I started to leave I noticed the door was locked… It was awful, she fucking pleasured herself on the conference table. I stood and stared directly at the door, you should have seen Taylor's face when he barged in."

"So you didn't look?"

"Fuck no! I told her straight up, that I wasn't interested because I had you. You're my everything Ana." I kissed her again. "But Taylor thought I was doing something from the noises, and he kicked that door down right smart ready to murder me I think."

"Smart man."

"I took the first flight I could back home, I realised that it wasn't worth being that far away from you." She nuzzled back into my chest.

"For what it's worth Christian, I'm glad you're back home."

"Me too baby.
