From Secretary to Soulmate:The Truth Behind the Billionaire's Belle

The Billionaire's Bell from secretary to soulmate the truth behind the Billionaire's Bell prol Cheyenne's movements were short and jerky as she stepped onto the elevator she rubbed the back of her neck and bit her bottom lip pulling in a deep breath she gave a warm pasted on smile to the man already occupying she space he'd already pressed five which was the floor she needed to go to as well unable to place where the Nervous was coming from Cheyenne assured herself she had as much of a chance as anyone to get the position in fact she

was overqualified not wanting to increase her anxiety anymore cheyen closed her eyes and said a silent prayer if anyone knew how important it was for her to leave CJ Enterprises as its newest executive assistant it was God night after night she prayed for this very thing and that reminder gave her peace the elevator dinged and Cheyenne Stepped off her elevator companions eyes lowered her pear-shaped ass as she walked in front of him and his perusal of her frame from behind made her smile she looked back at him over her shoulder and cleared her throat causing

him to quickly lift his eyes to hers H have a good day miss lady the attractive middle-aged man said you too Cheyenne replied through her chuckle since she'd moved to Rose Valley Hills from Memphis she attracted older man it could have Been the way she dressed and carried herself her pristine posture and modelesque walk whatever the case it was always a boost to her confidence Cheyenne rounded the corner familiar with the area already this was her third and final interview for the position because of that she'd be meeting with the CEO and man she'd be

working under directly Chandler Jones Cheyenne had done a lot of research on the company and its CEO what she learned was the Reason she was adamant about securing the executive assistant position Chandler Jones reminded her of a younger version of her billionaire grandfather Port green like Port Chandler built his wealth through Investments and the delicate transaction of buying failing businesses bringing them back to life and selling them that along with the art and jewels Chandler invested in made him a multi-millionaire by the age of 34 and according to her grandfather's inner Circles he'd be a

billionaire if he kept his current pace within the next 5 years at the sound of Cheyenne's heels against the carpeted floor Amy's head lifted she was the floor receptionist and always gave Cheyenne a welcoming and warm Vibe when she arrived hi Miss Taylor it's good to see you again please call me Cheyenne and you as well does this mean you're here for your third interview it does is Mr Jones ready for me let me check Amy Stood and headed to the office that was in the back of the octagon shaped space she knocked and stuck

her head in then said a few words too quietly for shyenne to hear her head bobbed as she opened the door wider Mr Jones is ready for you come on in Cheyenne took long strides in that direction repeating the affirmations she'd said to herself in her bathroom mirror before she left home that morning you've got this Amy whispered softly giving Cheyenne a soft Pat on her back thank you Amy shyenne winked and squeezed her hand gently before stepping inside her smile faltered at the sight of Chandler Jones as the door closed behind her she looked

back suddenly feeling trapped the picture she'd seen of Chandler online didn't seem to do him much Justice wow he stood eyeing her frame slowly come in Cheyenne took short steps in his Direction the flirty smile he gave her before he licked his lips made her hard Race Chandler walked around his desk and extended his hand in her Direction and Cheyenne hesitantly placed hers inside good morning Mr Jones thank you for meeting with me trust me the pleasure is all mine Chandler released her hand and pulled the dark brown chair back slightly for her to sit

as she did his closeness caused her arms to cover with chills he didn't return to his seat behind his desk until she was seated comfortably and it wasn't until he' done The same that Cheyenne released the breath she was holding he was handsome handsome seemed like too basic of a word his tall athletic frame was covered in Nutella brown skin the tapered low fade fit his Square shaped head perfectly Chandler's beard was thick and shiny surrounding skin colored juicy lips his eyes were dark tight and like lasers as he stared at her the playful smile

was barely there but visible enough to keep shyenne calm Shall We Begin she asked Lacing her fingers in her lap while Cheyenne wouldn't say the stare down was awkward it evoked a feeling she didn't need to explore with a man she hoped to soon be working for I suppose so Chandler sat up in his seat and picked up what Cheyenne assumed was her resume are you in a rush Cheyenne's lips lifted slightly as she smirked not necessarily but I'm anxious about the interview I really want this job Chandler's brows wrinkled as he read Over her

history she nibbled her bottom lip willing her leg not to shake his head shook as he side and sat back in his seat their eyes locked and yet again her heart stilled what are you doing here shy her mouth opened and closed but he continued you know you're overqualified for this position you double major in Communications law and international business and you have a master's in business management I feel like I would be taking advantage of you If I hired you to be my assistant Cheyenne smiled as she carefully considered how she wanted to respond

I understand how my background can make you come to that conclusion however instead of viewing me being overqualified as a bad thing why don't you look at the benefits which are well Cheyenne sat up in her seat swallowing her nervousness my degrees should make you confident that I will not only be able to handle the basic requirements of This position but go above and beyond as well I can help you with your schedule planning calls and everything else listed but I can also send on meetings to take notes and offer my expertise when it pertains

to your Deals Only if you wanted me to that's not my way of asking to be your partner or anything just a second set of ears and a fresh mind if needed I also have connections that you might find using use ful and the experience to handle meetings on Your behalf if needed Chandler massaged his Temple before picking up the resume again I can't pay you what was offered Cheyenne if I agree to this I'll have to double your salary oh you Dawn is that if you can afford it Chandler chuckled as he stood don't

worry about that I'll have someone in HR send you a compensation package to look over if the benefits are to your liking the job is yours a smile spread Cheyenne's lips as she stood that sounds wonderful thank You would you like to go out and celebrate Chandler asked checking the time on his watch he made his way around the desk stepping close enough for her to inhale his woodsy warm scent I don't mix business with pleasure Mr Jones Cheyenne spoke softly hoping the quiet tone would keep Chandler from hearing how breathless his closeness made her

then how about you allow me to give you pleasure tonight before we start business Monday Mr John Chandler her Lips parted slightly as she inhaled a deep breath only until Monday Chandler nodded his agreement Chandler I do find you attractive but I'd prefer to keep things professional as you wish he agreed with a comfortable smile putting space between them I hope you enjoy the rest of your day and if you're pleased with the package I'll see you Monday yes sir I'm sure you will without waiting for him to say more Cheyenne quickly left his office

it wasn't until she was Away from him that she felt like herself again she'd shared space with handsome men and been in relationships with them countless times but being around Chandler that was different all she could do was pray they were able to maintain a professional relationship how' It Go Amy asked I think it went pretty well you may see me Monday yay they high-fived and said their goodbyes before Cheyenne left she was so nervous about the interview she decided To use her grandfather's driver instead of driving herself as soon as she was comfortably seated

in the back of the Town Car Cheyenne checked the time on her phone along with her notifications where to Miss Taylor The View I'm meeting papa for lunch yes ma'am a comfortable smile rested on sh an's lips for the entire ride she was grateful Chandler didn't allow her degrees to stop him from giving her the position it was important to Cheyenne that she got a Job outside of her grandfather's orbit where no one knew who he or she was once she made it to the view the sight of the beach immediately vibrated her already peaceful

Soul it was one of her favorite restaurants in Rose Valley Hills because it was directly on the Sandy Beach a low hum escaped her as she rode the el elevator up to the restaurant when the doors opened she greeted the hostess and let her know her party was already seated it didn't take Shy and long to Find her grandfather as she expected he was seated to the left of the restaurant on the patio a large red umbrella shielded him from the beaming Sun as he looked out into the ocean hi Papa she spoke leaning down

to place a kiss on his cheek I apologize for being late my interview was this morning Port sucked his teeth as she sat next to him behind the black bar top like setting I'm not sure why you're so adamant about working anywhere other than with me anyway you Know I want you to come into the fold so you can take over for me one day how do you plan to do that working for someone else Cheyenne's eyes rolled playfully I know Papa but you know how important it is for me to carve my own way

I appreciate you holding space for me there but I want to find a job on my own as a personal assistant the disgust that covered his face made her laugh executive assistant she corrected but that's irrelevant I want to work Somewhere that is not attached to you and our family will you please just be happy for me I'm always happy for you B and proud of you Bell Port had been calling cheyen Bell for as long as she could remember it wasn't just because of her looks though he always told his granddaughter she was beautiful

it was also because of her love for Disney movies and books for quite some time her favorite movie was Beauty and the Beast Port loved her so much and wanted her to Be as comfortable as she could be in his home so he had a room converted into a library just for her over the years the literature housed on the shelves changed but the library remained even after she moved out they continued to have small talk after their waitress came to take Cheyenne's order by the time they were leaving she'd receive an email from CJ

Enterprises with the compensation package even though Cheyenne was pleased with What they offered she decided not to accept until the next morning she went home happy and at peace sure working for Chandler was the right decision number one 2 years later Chandler 730 Days Later Cheyenne was still the first thing on my mind at the start of my day I could say it was because she made up such a large part of my day professionally but she meant too much to me to downplay her place in my life like that shy wasn't just a part

of my brain When it came to business she was a part of my heart too when she first started working for me exactly 2 years ago I respected her wishes to keep things professional eventually the discipline it took to not flirt with her became weaker and weaker the closer we got the more she handled my business so well the better she complimented me the more I fell in love with her though I'd never uttered those words to her I was sure cheyen had an idea of how I felt at the Least she knew I found

her insanely attractive because of how I talked to and looked at her my respect for her boundaries was the only thing that kept me from pursuing her romantically but if I didn't want more we would soon be leaving for a trip to California and instead of me prepping for my day I was in my office trying to think of something I could do for Cheyenne while we were gone it didn't matter what I did bought or where I took her baby girl was A tough nut to crack I pulled out some of my best efforts

and they didn't seem to ever really impress her I could admit I wasn't used to that there hadn't been a woman I wanted and pursued and couldn't have until Cheyenne the light tapping pulled me out of my thoughts I didn't have to ask who it was because I already knew gain Shan her beautiful face appeared shortly after with a raised brow she looked at me skeptically my feet were resting comfortably on my Desk with my ankles crossed as I twirled a pen in my right hand what are you doing thinking about you Cheyenne's eyes rolled

as she smiled and shook her head she probably didn't believe me if only she knew did you forget you have a meeting in 5 minutes I grumbled standing for my seat with a Snicker she walked over to me as always she tightened and straightened my tie as always I had to keepy myself from gripping her small waist and holding her close did you Forget I did not mhm since you didn't forget I assume you know who the meeting is with and don't need me to brief you I wouldn't want to rob you of that task

because I know you love it so much you can tell me Cheyenne gave me a light laugh and I loved the sound of it she didn't laugh enough to me while we were in the office and I couldn't wait for the chance to make her do it again though I appreciated how seriously she took her job I wished she made space for Us to have the relaxed friendly exchanges that fueled me and satisfied my longing for her but at this point I'd learned to take what I could get when she was done giving me the

rundown on my upcoming meeting cheyen tried to leave the office but I grabbed her hand wait I got something for you uh why she was so focused on business she hadn't noticed what was on the round table to the left of my desk I led her over to it and the sound of her gasp was like music to my Ears to celebrate her 2-year anniversary working here I'd gotten her two dozen red roses two dozen cupcakes from her favorite Bakery and a jewelry set that had a Two karat diamond ring earrings bracelet and necklace Mr

Jones she whined running her fingers across one of the rose petals you didn't have to do this I'm going to celebrate you every year thank you for convincing me to let you take on this position you've made my life and my works so much easier happy 2-year anniversary Cheyenne her hands cued her cheeks briefly before she opened the jewelry box these are bigger than the ones from last year don't tell me you plan to upgrade me every year I do what's the limit she asked handing me the necklace so I could put it on her

slender neck for you there isn't one so if I work for you for 10 years you'll be getting a 10 karat ring Cheyenne smiled as I played the necklace on her frame and it was taking everything inside me Not to kiss her neck instead I gave her shoulders a gentle squeeze and stepped back as she released her long curls and allowed them to fall onto her back you really didn't have to do this but I appreciate you showing me that you appreciate me always as she put on the rest of a jewelry I grabbed my

portfolio I'm taking you to dinner after work I told her not bothering to ask if she had plans if I asked she'd come up with an excuse as to why she couldn't go a Part Of Me Maybe my ego wanted to believe she avoided being alone with me after hours because she wanted me just as much as I wanted her Chandler we leave at 600 the car will be waiting she gave me a soft sigh but not at her agreement and that was good enough for me I opened the door and allowed her to walk

out before me as much as I wanted to look at her ass I kept my gaze High the last thing I needed to do was walk into this meeting And that was exactly what would happen if I looked at Cheyenne for too long between her curvy frame cinnamon brown skin and beautiful face she was perfect too and for me she had dark piercing eyes and wispy eyelashes her pierced nose gave an edge to her otherwise professional and feminine appearance round pouty lips tease me daily begging to be kissed I think my favorite part of her

was how her skin had a Natural Glow to it it made her look ethereal like my Angel hey she called grabbing my arm gently and gaining my attention good luck in there I hope they see how great of a deal you're offering them and take it you're the best at what you do and I'm honored to work with you she placed a kiss to my cheek before heading back toward her office and I couldn't resist watching her walk away just her taking the time to affirm me before the meeting was the perfect example of why

I couldn't get enough of this woman she Was good to me and for me always and always and I prayed to God one day she'd allow me to be the same for her 6: p.m. promptly Cheyenne headed toward the town car as I requested Stan opened the door for her and she elegantly slipped into the back seat next to me close enough for her fresh powdery sent to engulf me but far enough away for me to not be able to discreetly brush any part of my body against hers thanks for dinner she said even though

it's really not Necessary honoring you and showing you my appreciation is always necessary is this how you treated all of your executive assistants only the ones I liked though we laughed I was only halfway joking seriously though you're the first day I've had make me want to do something like this for you you go above and beyond for me and my company and I can't ignore that well thank you as her Palm rested on the space between us Cheyenne looked out of the window I Couldn't decide if I wanted to make small talk or let

her stay inside her mind to be honest I was surprised she didn't come up with an excuse as to why she couldn't join me this evening I was however grateful I'd made plans at the restaurant in case she did I decided to remain silent for the duration of a ride which was only 15 minutes instead of allowing Stan to I helped Cheyenne out of the car inhaling her scent I appreciated how it still lingered after A full workday my hand was on the small of her back as we walked the small distance to the entry

where the doorman opened the door for us after giving the hostess my name we were LED back to the private dining room which was also a wine cellar Cheyenne stopped mid-step when she saw what was waiting for her at the table she looked back at me and shook her head before for slowly walking over Mr Jones you gave me a gift earlier two years two gifts technically this is More than two gifts but I'll let you be great she chuckled as she lifted the box of dusty lavender eternity roses Cheyenne sniffed them and hummed these

always smell so good and they're my favorite color I knew lavender was her favorite color that was why everything in the gift bag was lavender the silk dress the the scented candles the necklace and diamond ring even the wrapping paper this is so thoughtful Chandler thank you so much this time Maybe because it was after work I got a hug a hug that lingered a hug that reminded me of how perfectly she felt against my body she was the first to pull away naturally I pulled her seat back for her and helped her sit down

once I was seated I poured us both a glass of the champagne that had already been on the table awaiting our arrival I think this is the first time we've had dinner together at home she said usually if we eat together it's breakfast or Lunch and we're talking about work unless we're on a trip will this be awkward for you Cheyenne Shrugged I doubt it more than anything I wonder what we'll have to talk about we talk about stuff outside of work chai what do we talk about and I mean actually talk about not you

flirting with me I couldn't deny that as I Bob my head and held back my laughter we've talked about ourselves you've told me about your grandfather and I've told you about my Family we've discussed hobbies and interests whatever comes up in that moment that's true I don't know it's not awkward but it feels like something we shouldn't be doing is it really because you're concerned about the topics we'd have to discuss or because you're concerned you're going to realize it's okay to like me she Twisted her mouth to the side and squeezed the back of

her neck yeah that's what it is you think this kind of stuff is going to make you Like me it's not that then what is it I just never want us to cross any lines her expression turned serious and her voice softened if you understood what this job meant to me you'd understand why I never want to risk it becoming tainted or having to leave so maybe it's a defense but it's for a very good reason her answer made me hate I even allowed the conversation to take this turn now no matter how much I

wanted to Buck I'd have to be on my best behavior That didn't stop me from saying if you opened up to me more maybe I could understand a little better I feel the chemistry and attraction between us no matter how much you deny it whatever reason you have to ignore it I'm sure it makes sense to you I just wish I knew so it could make sense to me too sitting back in my seat I sighed heavily regardless that's not what this dinner is about this dinner is about us celebrating you working for CJ Enterprises

for 2 years if it makes you more comfortable for us to talk about random things or work I'm more than okay with that the last part of my statement caused her to perk back up and even though it was the opposite of what I wanted to discuss I'd talk about anything if it kept her happy really she asked really yay because I really want to talk about the meeting you had earlier can you believe Oakland tried to double the offer her words went in one Ear and out of the other as I stared at her

lips I took the safe route of nodding and offering the occasional hum to show I was listening and interested truth was we could have sat here in silence and I'd be at peace just having her here with me Chandler this is too nothing is ever too much for you this is the last gift though I promise Cheyenne chuckled as she got back into the car IID at Stan put her last gifts in her seat eat while we were in the restaurant There were two birken bags and $22,000 in cash waiting for her as the final

gifts to show my appreciation you spoil me she muttered running her fingers over the- Mau lavender bag before doing the same to the pink one you deserve it she leaned across the seat and placed a kiss to the corner of my mouth before wiping it away you're the best Mr Jones I hope you never change you're going to make some woman very very happy I'd been on my best Behavior during dinner but I couldn't resist saying if you stop being so scary that lucky woman could be you she didn't reject the statement which was a

surprise instead she looked out of the window with a smile and I was completely okay with that number two Cheyenne Chandler had a new private jet the cream and brown interior and leather seats was an upgrade to the one we've been taking since I'd first started working for him this is nice I complimented as we sat Down are you finally impressed I smiled and shook my head there wasn't too much that Chandler could do materialistically that would surprise me I dealt with family and men with money all my life we seemed to always be so

surprised by how little things like this face me I understood that for the average woman being on a private jet with a millionaire would have been a thrill for me it was the opposite of what would impress and turn me on physically Chandler was perfect he was my type from his looks to his style of dress I would never tell him but I loved his personality too we had more in common than he realized unfortunately the men I dealt with of Chandler's caliber financially and socially had all been hard lessons in what I didn't want

in a man so as much as he flirted I always shut him down besides I loved being his executive assistant and didn't want to ruin that I didn't have to work but what I did with him made me feel fulfilled not just because I was helping him in his thriving business but because I believed in what he was doing sure it was a hell of a payoff for him every time he sold the business he' acquired but he also took the stress of a failing business from someone and gave them enough money to retire and

never have to work a day in their life if they didn't want to I admired and respected Chandler more than he would ever know and it had Nothing to do with a jet or his money for that matter one of these days I'm going to do something that's going to completely knock you off your feet Chandler said more to himself than me I already admire and respect you Mr Jones you don't have to impress me with stuff like this Candler he insisted like always and thank you for that it makes me happy to know you

admire and respect me when his lips lifted into a devilish grin I knew he was about to say Something silly I want you to love and want me too though thankfully the flight attendant and Pilots came to introduce themselves after the pilots retreated the flight attendant asked us if we wanted anything to drink before takeoff we both opted for champagne I checked both our business phones to make sure we didn't have any calls texts or emails that would need a response before we were in the air none of that Chandler said taking the phone from

my hand and Lap we're not working until it's time for the meeting well you might not be working but I'm always working not on this trip I want you to relax we've been going like crazy trying to secure this deal with ikan you deserve as much of a break as I do that was true so I wouldn't argue with him sometimes business owners didn't want to sell even though they knew that was for the best whether it was Pride or sentimental reasons it could make the process take Longer than it should most times Chandler would

pull back and allow them to come to him but if he felt a person needed to be wooed and the investment was worth it he'd put forth more effort the flight attendant returned with our champagne let's toast Chandler suggested lifting his mini flute in my direction to what us having an amazing trip and to you securing your very first Health Spa claiming it for you in advance our glasses clinked before we SI the Champagne for some reason his eyes locked on mine made me smile I spent so much time with this man I shouldn't be

affected by his eyes but I was they were tight dark and alluring there weren't too many times I could look into them for seconds on end and not blush we took off not long after and I was grateful for the non-stop flight to Cali I managed to get an naen but it wasn't long enough to do anything but make me drowsy once we arrived as we got into The Town Car that awaited us I asked Chandler all right what do you have planned why do you think I have something planned he replied sitting next to

me you always do it's a surprise with a groan I sat back in my seat it wouldn't do me any good to question him about it because he wouldn't tell me no matter how much I told Chandler it wasn't necessary he always took me somewhere on our trips and treated me I appreciated how committed he was to Showing me how much he valued me I could honestly say no man or employer had ever spoiled me The Way Chandler did it took us about 15 minutes to get to the hotel and when we did we were

checked into a presidential suite Chandler carried our bags up because he was ever the gentleman I wanted to question how he was single but I knew his schedule and believed that was a part of it his days were long and he spent so much time traveling had been groomed by my parents Before I even realized what it was to prepare for my husband with wealth to never be home expect me to be the picture of perfection and cheat if and when he felt like it do you think your wife will be okay with me traveling

with you all the time I asked his head jerked slightly before he looked down at me skeptically the low chuckle he released made me smile that was random I was just thinking about how much we travel and how kind you are will you need to get a Male assistant after you get married licking his lips Chandler shook his head slightly the only woman I plan to marry is you seriously Chandler why is that something for us to worry about now are you going to miss me if my wife wants me to let you go would

you let me go for her he didn't even think about his answer before he responded with not even God could get me to let you go chai the sooner you realize that the better I didn't know how to respond to that so I Remained silent as we continue to our suite we looked around before Chandler set my bags in the bigger bedroom like always he let me have the biggest face even though he was my boss he never made me feel like I was beneath him and always treated me with respect after we agreed to

shower and unwind for a while then make dinner plans Chandler went to what would be his room for the next couple of days I was more excited about having him to myself outside of the Office than I would admit and looked forward to everything this trip would have in store for us number three Chandler okay okay I'm ready at the sound of Cheyenne's voice I closed the text thread for my parents group chat and looked up at her my heart skipped a beat over the last two years every time we took a trip somewhere with

a beach she denied herself the pleasure of getting into a swimsuit and enjoying the water this trip that changed the white Two-piece swimsuit against her cinnamon brown skin made my mouth water its high-waisted design Drew my attention to her belly ring and small small waist I didn't want to stare but my mouth almost hung when I noticed what looked like pierced nipples clearing my throat I stood you look my head shook as I struggled to find words her bra strap length bundles were pulled into a high bun giving me an unobstructed view of her makeupfree

and gorgeous face closing The distance between us I inhaled her powdery scent as she removed her shades with a smile those lips were covered with a dark red lipstick begging me to kiss them I have no words to accurately describe how beautiful you are to me Mr Jones she CED avoiding my eyes what did I tell you about that with a huff Cheyenne looked up at me briefly before taking a step back are you ready to go to the beach yeah I guess quite frankly the sight of her made me want to go Swimming and

drown in her wetness since I knew there was no chance in hell of that happening I grabbed my shades and wallet while she tossed an oversized sheer Captain over her suit and we headed out to the beach are you hungry I checked I could eat what do you have a taste for I love a good Boardwalk hot dog or maybe tacos whatever we pass is fine that made me chuckle you want to get it now or after you go for swim now is fine I probably won't actually get in the water oh so you put

this on just to give everyone on this be a beautiful view huh maybe just you was her reply and it was the first time she'd ever flirted with me it stopped me in my tracks before I could fully process it Cheyenne was taking me by the hand and tugging me along as she giggled there were a few vendors out with hot dogs but we walked a bit further down the boardwalk to see what else was available she decided she Wanted tacos since she swore the ones in C were better than what we could get at

home as we waited for the tacos I grabbed a couple blankets at the store nearby once the tacos were ready we got settled on the beach I was glad we'd flown in a day early to be able to relax and enjoy doing nothing for a change I swear nothing beats this view she said staring out into the ocean I agree she looked over at me as I stared at her you're not even looking her smile was Bashful as she looked away yes I am I don't know what I'm going to do with you Chandler whatever

you want her laughter was light as she began to squeeze the lime over her tacos after we said Grace and began to eat I chuckled what's funny she asked wiping her mouth the fact that you prefer this over a melin restaurant half the time those restaurants aren't even good enough for what they charge I love a good experience and never mind paying for it but you can't be good food Like this I took a few bites of my taco before asking her how how's your grandfather doing her face lit up immediately as it always did

when she thought about or talked about him Cheyenne didn't share a lot with me about her family and past but I didn't know her grandfather adopted her when she was 12 and raised her as his own she did tell me that her parents were divorced but not much more than that I didn't pry because I knew childhood Wounds and parental letdowns could always be a difficult subject no matter how much time had passed he's doing well I finally convinced him to start exercising with me really is he going to run she laughed quickly covering her

mouth as she chewed I wish when he found out that I run 10 to 15 miles every morning he asked me if I was trying to kill him we settled on a Brisk three mile walk so I'm okay with that I want to meet him one day Cheyenne's eyes Shifted my direction briefly before returning to her tacos you sure that's not too unprofessional I mean I'd like to think of you as my friend if not my friend a trusted Confidant it would be my honor to meet the man who means the most to you as

much as I hate it I can admit I think of you that way too I clutched my heart causing her to laugh why do you work so hard not like me chai and tell me the truth though I'd asked for the truth a part of me expected her To hold back and change the subject still I clung to the silence hoping this would be one instance where she let me in it would be dangerous for me to like you so I try to keep things as professional between us as I can that was more than

she gave me during her anniversary dinner a month ago so i' take it what makes having feelings for me dangerous she looked out into the ocean as she lowered her Shades over her eyes I haven't had the best experiences With men with wealth they've either used me abused me or cheated on me and that's not to say I intend to marry a man who doesn't have money but I don't know plus I've seen money and greed turn people into monsters I don't think I want one that has the background and lifestyle that you do I

could understand that though I came from a wealthy family I was determined to pave my own way all that I am all that I have I have because of God and myself because of that my Confidence was through the roof on top of that I had no problem living a materialistic lifestyle I'd worked hard for what I had and took great pride in showing it off regardless of my wealth it didn't determine my character having money and status in our city would never turn me into a liar cheater or abuser I knew telling cheyen that

probably wouldn't make much of a difference though if that was her truth her experience only time and Trust would be A bomb for that we continued to eat before discarding our bags then we took a walk closer to the water I didn't realize how far we gone until the sun started to set we'd walked at least 2 miles which was nothing for her as we headed back toward the hotel the urge to ask her what would take for her to trust me and feel safe with me consumed me I wanted to restore her faith in

man though I wasn't the one who had broken it she deserved to be with a man who Could afford to give her the world if she chose to bless him by being the center of his instead of asking what was in my mind and on my heart I kept quiet to avoid making her uncomfortable this was the first time in two years that she'd opened up to me in this magnitude and I didn't want to rush her and make her shut back down number four two days later Cheyenne today would be our last full day

here which meant it was time for Chandler's surprise for me I always Looked forward to what he had planned as always he gave me no clues about what was in store he did pick out my outfit but that didn't give me much to work with Chandler selected a white spaghetti strapped lace mermaid dress it had red polka dots so I paired it with red heeled sandals and a matching clutch we slightly matched because he had on black slacks and loafers with a short sleeved red button-down shirt the low '70s June weather had been good to

us it wasn't Humid and hot near the beach and the wind gave a continuous Breeze do you want to talk about the meeting yesterday I asked nope we're back off the clock and I want you to relax and enjoy yourself I'm not sure why I even asked you that I'm not sure either I laughed lightly but it faded when I realized we were pulling up to the airport Chandler yes your surprise is out of the city now I'm not going to tell you where my arms crossed over my chest as I pouted he Lowered my

arms as he added cut that out I'll give you anything in this world just no clues on this surprise I couldn't help but smile because I believed that to be true it wasn't until we were on the jet and the pilot announced our destination that the wheels in my mind began to spin we were going to Monteray California was that our final destination or a pit stop I tried to think of things Monteray were known for they have those unique and Colorful fisherman houses and beautiful beaches so I figured we'd have a good time if

that was where the surprise was but it wasn't from Monteray we took a drive to Big Sir when we arrived at Ventana I squealed I'd mentioned this place to him once last year and here we were Chandler was such an intentional man and this moment only made me like him more I can't believe you did this I said as the driver opened the back door I had our bags brought down while you Were talking to the lady at the front desk we're staying in a suite here tonight and flying back home tomorrow this is going

to be so much fun I can't wait to see what all we can do while we're here we can do whatever you want if we need to extend the trip we most certainly can I wasn't sure how it happened or who reached first but we held hands as we headed inside I checked us in and we went to our separate Suites in less than 15 minutes I left the cabin Like Decor leather recliner in large fireplace after we freshened up Chandler and I didn't waste much time before we started doing activities Chandler wasn't kidding when

he said we could do whatever we literally did one activity after the next watercoloring making cocktails and creating our own candles we ended the night leaving the property for a wine tour that left me tipser than I'd ever been around Chandler but I felt safe with him we ended up spending the Last 30 minutes of the tour walking the grounds Alone by the time we met back up with our guide I was unable to wipe the huge grin off my face you two make such a lovely couple Diana said how long have you been together

oh we before I could correct her Chandler was wrapping his arm around my waist and pulling me into his side he was Tipsy too but not as much as me his eyes were low and smile playful as he looked down at me we've been together for 2 years he answered Lowering his hand to my ass when he gave it a gentle squeeze I gasp Chandler lowered himself and gave me a kiss on the center of my forehead between his lips the warmth of his breath and his hand on my ass chills covered my arms I

knew he was just joking but this felt a little bit too real if you decide to get married in the future we offer several wedding packages and make the planning a breeze Diana said and that was enough to snap me out of my trance I removed Myself from his hold but took his hand into mine excuse me where's the nearest bathroom I asked as she rattled off directions I tried to pay attention so I could get there on my own it didn't matter Chandler took me anyway way looking at myself in the mirror I pulled

in deep breaths once I was composed enough to interact with Chandler again I headed out of the bathroom his hands were stuffed in his pockets and head hung low are you okay I asked stepping Close to him I'm so sorry chai I shouldn't have touched you like that that was extremely inappropriate I hope I didn't make you too uncomfortable his apology caught me off guard I didn't want to tell him that I liked it because I didn't want him to do it again I didn't want to suggest it made me uncomfortable because I didn't want

to make him feel bad licking the corner of my mouth I considered every possible outcome before replying you don't have To apologize it caught me off guard but it didn't make me uncomfortable then why did you practically run away because it turned me on I admitt it surprising both of us a slow smile spread his lips and I knew he would never let me live that confession down don't make a big deal out of this Chandler I had a natural physical reaction to you but that doesn't mean anything with a chuckle he took my hand

into his whatever you say Cheyenne let's head back to the resort As much fun as we were having I was ready to get back and put some space between us it was a good thing we were going back home tomorrow otherwise I couldn't guarantee things wouldn't take a real turn between us number five Chandler when we first left the winery I was sure distance was best as Cheyenne leaned against the door to her Suite I wasn't so sure I wanted to ask her come with me but I'd already crossed one line earlier the though she

told me she Wasn't uncomfortable and that in fact she was aroused I still felt like she' made it clear she didn't want things to take a romantic turn between us and even though that was what I wanted I didn't want to pressure her into anything but for a moment for just a brief alcohol induced moment I lower my inhibitions and did something I'd wanted to do for the last 2 years though I wouldn't blame the alcohol for it it gave me the courage to say the consequences to get a Handful of that ass more than

anything I was just grateful Cheyenne had been a good sport about it I hope you've enjoyed yourself I said resisting the urge to push her hair out of her face I always enjoy myself with you tugging my bottom lip into my mouth I released a low hum as she continued I don't know how you manag to do it but these surprises keep getting better and better I loved every second of today Mr Jones thank you I'm so pleased with you Enjoying my surprise not going to trip off you calling me that she smiled and what

a beautiful sight it was I love seeing you smile I intend to make you do it more often her head lowered briefly but when it lifted her smile was wider unable to resist I gave her a second kiss on the forehead before telling her sweet dream Cheyenne G good night Chandler I took a step back as she turned to unlock the door when she was inside I headed down the hall Lord knows The last thing I wanted to do was walk away from her but that was for the best it didn't take me long to

make it to my suite and while I waited for the water in the shower to warm I checked my notifications on my phone nothing could distract me from how my body was still on edge after spending the entire day with Cheyenne my shoulders were tight I bet she tastes good once in the shower I washed and stroked myself as visuals of cheyen filled my mind all I could hear Was the sound of her moans when she tasted a wine she loved all I could feel was her hand in mine it wasn't long before my seeds

were shooting out of me and giving me the relief I needed I wished I could have planted them inside of her but just hearing her say I turned her on was a big enough win for me the next afternoon we spent a few hours we had left here doing a half mile hike that led to what the guide called Cold Stream Bliss it was a water wall where We did some quick breath work before diving into the cold water Cheyenne described it as exhilarating smiling wider than I'd ever seen before after the plunge we had

a picnic then went back to our suits to pack as soon as we made it back to the jet it was back to business Cheyenne's glasses were resting on her nose and her face was buried in her iPad okay Mr Jones I hope you are well rested because you have a meeting every day this week to Wednesday There's Also golf with your dad and lunch with with your mom also we need to schedule the introduction and walk through it ikeman now that you've officially acquired it I can push it back to next week but I

know you like to get in and get started quickly all of that sounds fine chai I agreed accepting the bottle of water the flight attendant offered me she lowered the iPad to her lap and looked at me what's wrong chuckling I took a sip of my water why do you think Something's wrong I can hear it in your voice voice spill it I didn't want to tell her that I didn't want to leave here and get back to normal we' made some good progress on this trip going back to work would cause her to be

all business and though I appreciated the way she was like my better half professionally I want to her to be that for my heart too instead of confessing to any of that I told a half truth I don't want to leave the beauty of this Place Rose Valley Hills has a beautiful beach but it has nothing on what we've seen over the last 3 days I agree I'm an island girl for sure Cali always gives me that Vibe without having to leave the country good to know I tucked that piece of information into my mind

for when I planned her next surprise she might not have wanted to admit I was wearing her down but I felt it and now that I knew what it would take to loosen her inhibitions I Wouldn't stop until Cheyenne Taylor was mine number six the next weekend Cheyenne it shouldn't bother me at this point I had years to accept the lack of my parents in my life but that hadn't been the case as a child my nanny and the house staff took better care of and had more of an interest in me than my parents

did while Daddy was busy making his millions mama was busy spending them there were no birthday celebrations or parental support at school events Papa Port was always there for me though it came as a surprise to know one when after my parents divorced Papa adopted me to this day I still had weekly therapy sessions to work through the trauma of my parents abandoning me that was no exaggeration they divorced went their separate ways and literally forgot to make plans for me I was left with my Manny who reached out to Papa on my behalf and

he came to get me it took my mother 6 weeks of traveling to think About me and reach out and my father 6 months by then I'd settled into a new normal with Papa and they agreed to him adopting me and my big ran age of 34 one would think the sight of happy families wouldn't be so Bittersweet but it was I'd grown out of the age of questioning why I wasn't blessed with that and learned to be grateful for Papa but it still hurt to see what I'd never have well I felt I'd never

be my therapist would stress the importance of me Healing so I could love and nurture my children properly but I didn't know if that was in my future how could I be a good mother when I didn't have one that was another reason I stayed away from men like Chandler they often wanted their women to be stay-at-home moms who lost themselves in motherhood I wanted to work I needed to work the Fulfillment that came from a job well done gave me the validation I lacked in other areas of my life that truth was why weekends

Were so hard for me though I often enjoyed myself or got some much needed rest or time with Papa I couldn't wait to go back to work on Monday speaking of Papa I had overslept and was running late for our lunch date at his home it didn't help that I'd lost track of time while on FaceTime with Amy earlier she wanted to make plans for later and seeing her with her husband and babies put me in a mood I was happy to see not only a woman in a healthy relationship But a healthy family unit

as well however that tiny voice in my gut made me question if that was something I'd never experience as I rushed out of my penthouse I tried to shake those feelings and thoughts out of my head if Papa knew what I was struggling with he'd curse his son and the woman he chose to create me with Papa had my back more than anyone else in this world after what Daddy did to me Papa cut him off he removed him from the family Business and forced him and Mama to fund their Lifestyles some other way I

knew Daddy had started working for a Fortune 500 company in New York but I wasn't sure about Mama last time I checked she was on her third marriage to some old guy in Georgia instead of scheduling a town car I decided to drive my Maserati as I drove I listened to the tusky brothers they'd been giving me an old school blues and soul vibe that I hadn't heard or felt since my days of binging Stacks artist it took me about 25 minutes to make it to Papa's mansion and I hurried inside giving Hosanna his housekeeper

a quick hug in the hallway I scurried into the dining room where Papa was already seated with a calm demeanor that was the complete opposite of mine without even bothering to look up he said you're cutting it pretty close B sorry Papa I overslept and lost track of time Deborah smiled and kissed my cheek pausing from pouring Papa his afternoon Tea you wouldn't risk being late if you moved back in here or at least the guest house out back my eyes rolled slightly as I grinned and sat down true enough Papa's home was big enough

for me to live here and have my own Wing the big house had 10 bedrooms and the house had four I moved out when I turned 30 craving more Independence papa took care of me financially and that was something I probably never be able to stop him from doing until I was married if that Ever happened the one time I tried by returning the funds he had a tech guy hack my computer to pay the bills directly I was Furious but that only lasted for a second before I laughed and thank God I was blessed

with someone who took providing for me and caring for me so seriously I like where I live Papa plus it's close to work no one should be forced to live in an apartment especially someone with as much money as you do sing I thanked Deborah silently As she poured me a cup of tea this was a conversation we had probably twice a week it's a penthouse that you bought me without me even asking Papa Shrugged as the small wrinkles on the edges of his eyes crinkled slightly from his smirk I want my bell to have

the best speaking of I started before taking a sip of my tea you know I'm a lover of learning and I think I want to go back to school you collect degrees like people collect stamps I love it why would you like to Go back for this time well this is going to be completely left field for my other degrees but art history H he stroked his chin and bed his head once in my direction for me to continue technically I don't need a degree to get into art buying but I want to expand my

knowledge before I do Chandler and I went to an art exhibit in auction about a year ago and I encouraged him to bid on a piece from an upand cominging artist turns out the bid was a good investment because a Super popular social light out in Miami has been propping him up he sold out of all his pieces and people are already looking for more to buy the one Chandler has hasn't even Age 5 years and it can go for three times the price now minimum would you continue to work for him or go into

art buying full-time probably both I love working with Chandler I couldn't stop the honey tone my voice had taken as I smiled is that all you love about him yes papa I told you there's nothing Between us I know I just find that to be suspicious the way you look and sound when you talk about him it always feels like more I wouldn't lie and deny my feelings for Chandler but they were just feelings nothing tangible I'd ever act on last weekend was probably as close as I'd ever get to being in a relationship with

him a brief lie to a complete stranger but that lie in that moment made my insides warm and soften in a way no other relationship ever had it was Crazy the hold this man had over my heart but I could only pray I continue to do a good job at hiding it I do admire him he reminds me a lot of you but he's my boss and that's all he'll ever be his brows lifted as he nodded if you say so Belle regarding school I think that degree will suit you well I love the pieces

in your apartment and the ones you've picked out for me over the years you're right you don't need a degree to do what you do because you Have a great eye and great Instincts by getting that degree will open the door for other opportunities as well you have my support as always and I will pay for you to go back of course thank you papa I didn't bother telling him that I could pay myself not only did he pay my bills but he had six figures deposited into my bank account monthly none of that would

matter to him I went infringe upon the pride he felt providing for me our lunch was served and we continued to talk he Filled me in on what had been going on at his company Papa ports wealth came from his technology internet and Communications Company Green Technology sold several different kinds of electronic devices provided internet services and cell phones with individualized plans a few of my family members worked for him but that didn't stop him from wanting me there too I'd done a lot to separate me from the green name and didn't see myself working

for Green Technology anytime soon a part of me thought maybe if I was blessed with a husband and children after that I'd consider working for my grandfather too many men from my past had used me to get to him and I would never let that happen again several hours later I didn't have any idea what Chandler wanted to meet with me for but I wouldn't deny that I was happy to see him he asked me to to meet him at puff which was a cigar lounge in the arts district I didn't go There often but

I did love the black and gold Lux Vibe you have to have a membership and memberships were By Invitation Only I gotten my membership through an ex and that was probably the only good thing that came out of that relationship after gaining entry into the exclusive Lounge I was led over to Chandler's VIP area upstairs his room was closed in unlike the lower levels of the lounge which provided a more intimate experience tinted glass windows Allowed you to see out but no one could see what or who was inside the furniture was all black with

gold accents two large gold chandeliers dangled from the ceiling it kind of reminded me of tyre's gentleman's club in Memphis but puff didn't have scheduled events and exotic dancers like he did hi I spoke as he stood what's up we embraced quickly dropping kisses on each other's cheeks as if it was something we did often thank you for meeting with me on such Short notice no problem is everything okay yeah he set his cigar in the ashtray on the black table and scooped up the black duffel bag that was next to it I won't hold

you long my guys are on their way up here Chandler extended the envelope in my direction this is for you curiosity had me opening the heavy bag instead of asking any questions I dropped it between us when I realized it was stuff with cash what is all of this do you need me to deposit this into one Of your accounts his head shook as he chuckled and sat down I said that's for you I'm not understanding what this is for that painting you convinced me to buy I I sold it this morning that quarter of

a million turned into 1.5 million that half a million is your cut releasing a nervous chuckle I squeeze the back of my neck you don't have to give me anything for that Chandler I was happy just to be right about it being a good investment that's all I need nah Chandler stood and made his way over to me getting so close and taking up so much space I had to hold in a breath to make room for him you earned that it's yours take it oh okay I agree taking a step back thank you and

if you have any more suggestions on investments for me never hesitate to let me know it filled me with pride to know he trusted me that much here Chandler grabbed the bag I'll carry this out for you oh thank you I was still in shock over what was Actually happening as I followed him out of puff I was aware of the value of the painting but I wasn't expecting him to cash in so quickly then again this was Chandler we were talking about he' always been a man of action so I shouldn't have been surprised

and unlike a lot of men Chandler wasn't risky if he knew something was a sure thing he acted immediately there was no guarantee our money would be a hot commodity years or even months from now so I didn't blame Him for selling it now at my Maserati Chandler put the duffel bag in the back seat no one knows what's in this bag but if you don't feel safe driving around with it I can Trail you that's not necessary I can take it to me and Papa's accountant this evening and he will deposit it for me

in the morning okay he lifted my hand and kissed it have a good night Shai and thank you again you too true and thank you seriously he gave me that sexy smile before walking away and I couldn't pull my eyes away until he was no longer in view number seven the next Saturday Chandler as much as I wanted to see Cheyenne I had to remind myself I wouldn't die if I didn't the weekends were Bittersweet I enjoyed the break but hated being away from my girl I was supposed to be meeting my best friend Drew

for drinks and I hoped that would get my mind off Cheyenne I thought our time together in California would have left me satiated but it only made Me crave her more I dressed casually in slacks and a fitted T-shirt with loafers using my jewelry to elevate the look then headed out he wanted to meet at The Tipsy Grill which was more than cool with me Jax's bar down by the beach was one of my favorites he' created his own whiskey line and his wife Mia had created her own wine she had a wine bar that

I'd taken Cheyenne to a while back and the combination of her strawberry wine with her husband's whiskey was out Of this world it only took me about 15 minutes to get to the Tipsy Grill and when I arrived Drew was already there because there was no smoking inside he' snagged a table on the patio at the sight of me he set the cigar that was between his lips and the ashtray and stood to shake my hand what upy can't call it what's good man life his lips spread into a grin and my curiosity immediately peaked

what's got you smiling like that you'll see in a moment I met this fine as shorty in Memphis last weekend and her and her best friend came here for the weekend I told her they could meet us here before I could stop myself I was releasing an irritated sigh normally I wouldn't mind being Drew's wingman but I needed time to mentally prepare the women I usually ended up entertaining for him were boring or not interested in the same things as me and was mentally taxing holding conversations with him for an Hour or two while he

did his thing man why did you have them meet us here of all places you should have told them somewhere adventurous that wouldn't require talking sucking his teeth Drew gave me a dismissive wave of his hand forget all that I'm trying to get Shorty full of this whiskey so we can walk that short walk to the Rose Valley hotel that's where they're staying and she's already told me what type of time she wants to be on if that's the case why Didn't you just meet her there now and leave me and her girl outed because

she doesn't want to send her out alone all I need is like an hour or two see that's it I man let me go in here and get me something to drink hold up his hand went to my chest as he looked behind him and into the bar what do you want I'll get it for you okay now you're just being weird since when can I go get my own drink I had a hard time figuring out whether I was more amused or irritated By his erratic Behavior if you go in there and see who's

inside you're not going to help me out with this I told you I got you who is it with a sigh Drew stepped back and crossed his arms over his chest Cheyenne I could see why he thought that would change things from the moment cheyen started working for me I'd made my desire for her clear to Drew and my parents while Drew was all for me going after her my parents wanted me to keep Things professional to avoid a scandal I assured them I'd never do anything to make Cheyenne uncomfortable or risk my reputation that

had been the case until two weekends ago when I grabbed her ass I still couldn't believe I'd done that while I didn't regret it it was risky as and that wasn't me regardless of how much I liked her I truly valued Cheyenne's place in my business I wouldn't say any one person was Irreplaceable but if I lost Cheyenne it Would take a miracle for me to find someone with at least a third of her experience capabilities and dedication and that made her Irreplaceable to me because I refused to have to go through all that if

she left I'm sure chai isn't there doing her own thing I got you bruh he eyed me skeptically making me laugh before nodding his agreement I but hurry up they should be here soon I couldn't deny how excited I was to see Cheyenne even if it was just in passing she'd Been on my mind all day but seeing her in person felt like a piece of me that had been missing was returned her long curly hair was in its usual middle part style it looked like she had on a cream colored linen short set that

looked good as hell against her skin the makeup she wore was natural accentuating her beauty and when she smiled it literally took my breath away as hard as it was I decided I wouldn't go over to her immediately I recognized a woman she was with from a Few pictures she'd shown me me if I wasn't mistaken it was a cousin on her father's side when I heard her gasp as I headed for the bar I looked in her Direction and her eyes lit up at the sight of me seeing her happiness because of me made

my heart warm unable to resist I made a beine for their table she stood meeting me halfway I can't believe you're out and about M em why Saturdays are for golf and sleep chuckling I pulled her in for a brief Hug she smelled good as always today she smelled like raspberries and vanilla Drew is forcing me to be his wingman so I didn't have much of a choice oh well that should be interesting with my hand in hers shyenne led me over to her table Selena this is my boss Mr Jones Mr Jones this is

my cousin Selena please call me Chandler I insisted extending my hand for Selena to shake I Chandler are you single you should join us Cheyenne's hand covered ours and she pushed mine Down yes he's single but he is not an option for you she shoved me toward the bar with a roll of her eyes and I couldn't help but laugh as Selena scoffed and crossed her arms over her chest why you pushing me like it did something wrong I teased as I leaned against the bar I'm sorry she just irritates me always trying to talk

to every fine man she sees for a while I just stared at her licking my lips I stepped closer to her as she looked up At me you saying I'm fine Cheyenne chuckled I don't think I need to say it you know it's the truth I do but it would make my day to hear that from you turning to the side so she could face me Cheyenne inhaled a shaky breath yes Chandler you're fine you're probably the finest man in Rose Valley Hills I'm not surprised Selena tried to immediately see what was up with you

tilting my head slightly I gripped her waist did it upset you that she did Because you want me yourself hi what can I get you the bartender asked seemingly giving Cheyenne the perfect excuse to excuse herself and walk away from me that was cool she didn't have to answer me just cheyen saying that to her I was the finest man in our city was more than enough to satisfy me I ordered a friend frch connection and had the bartender to put Cheyenne and Selena's drinks on my tab then headed back outside there were two women

at the table with Drew and I Had to admit they were beautiful I would never deny Drew's ability to secure a beautiful woman for the weekend but they rarely had much more going for themselves beyond the beauty they often lacked substance I think that was why I was drawn to Cheyenne as well she wasn't just a beautiful face she was intelligent well-traveled sweet kind fun and able to hold a conversation with just about anyone about anything her ability to move as a chameleon in any Room was sexy as hell whether my client was a street

athlete politician or Pastor Cheyenne was able to make everyone feel comfortable like I said I would I entertained his dates homeg girl Jasmine was nice and friendly but like always there wasn't much that we had in common I ended up leading the conversation knowing Cheyenne was nearby made it more difficult for me to focus it also didn't help that Jasmine was on the same type of time as her girl three Times she casually rested her hand to my lap three times I casually removed it I'd passed the stage of life where easy swayed me I

loved women that required effort and to be chased winning them was what turned me on we'll have be back Drew announced lifting Andrea from the table by her hand she shot her girl a wink as she smiled slumping down further in my seat I finished the last of my drink it looks like you're about to go have some fun Jasmine said yeah Was all I offered in return as I pulled my vibrating phone out my pocket seeing that I had a text from Cheyenne I sat up a little straighter as my heart palpitated all she'd

sent was the eyes but that was enough to make me smile did you want to get room too Jasmine asked send help I texted Cheyenne with three laughing emojis before sliding my phone back in my pocket n I'm good on that Jasmine she sucked her teeth and looked around the outdoor space I mean if you Tryina I'm sure it's plenty of men inside that would love to have you her head jerked back as if she was offended by my words that didn't make sense seeing as she was sitting over there pouting because I didn't want

to get her room though at this point I was tempted to get her one just so she could wait in there while her girl did her thing the moment I felt hands sliding down my chest I knew exactly who they belonged to not because Cheyenne was the only Woman I knew in the bar personally but because I knew her touch and her scent hey baby she CED before kissing my neck what are you doing out here we're inside when I told her to send help I wasn't expecting her to actually come and help me out

as much as I appreciated the gesture I knew if I left Drew would never let me hear the end of it oh so this is why you're turning me down Jasmine said as she stood chuckling she shook her head as she looked for me to Cheyenne I should have known you were taken that's the only reason a man would deny my she headed inside and as soon as the door closed behind her Cheyenne and I laughed as she sat next to me she said what's going on with your girl that is not my girl I

don't even know her oh yeah you did say drew wanted you to be his wingman yeah I was trying but she was getting a little too handsy for me the comfortable smile that was on her face was replaced with a frown as she Looked toward the direction Jasmine had gone in if I was crazy I'd say she was feeling a little possessive of me as quickly as the frown had covered her face Cheyenne pulled in a deep breath and wiped it away well I'm glad I was still here to help I know you're too much

of a gentleman to send her on her way but I will with no hesitation her comments seemed like the perfect opening for me to say that's the second woman that has gotten a rise out of you today Because of me don't let me find out you're starting to like me as much as I like you Cheyenne gave me a playful roll of her eyes as she smirked unfortunately I can give you the satisfaction of a response to that that caused me to release a bark of laughter you didn't say you didn't like me so that's

all I need to know this is so juvenile she muttered lowering her head as she blushed I can agree but that's what you do to me I lifted her chin forcing her To look in my eyes you make me all heart and emotions that I can barely contain you make me feel like I'm non- control of myself or the way you make me feel I haven't felt like this since I was a kid and I'm okay with that my hand went from her chin to her cheek and she kissed it tugging my bottom lip between

my teeth I bit back a moan her body shifted slightly as she looked inside of the bar it looks like your girl is on to someone new already I turned to look and saw Jasmine in a booth cuddled up with a man I didn't recognize and that gave me relief at least she was being entertained by someone well thank you for the assist if you need to get back to Selena I'm cool out here by myself self she's all right Cheyenne replied quietly as she relaxed further in her seat we got a new round of

drinks and end up staying out there talking for hours Drew had come back leaving Andrea at the hotel Jasmine had left with a man She' met and gone back to the hotel somehow Drew and Selena sparked a conversation that led to them walking the boardwalk and I got to spend a Saturday with my favorite girl number eight Cheyenne I think both Cher and and I were protective of each other but because I wasn't as vocal about my feelings for him I showed them with how I covered him it was always difficult for me to sit

in on meetings where Chandler was undervalued unappreciated Or sometimes disrespected that didn't happen often he had a reputation of making it clear that beyond the money and expensive suits that he was nothing to beat with still there were some instances where he choose to be professional when I wanted him to be off with someone's head today's meeting was an example of that we were meeting with the board for one of the newest business as he'd Acquired and all the men were older than 50 most often older men found It difficult to submit to Chandler's lead

I guessed it was their egos whatever the case they could sometimes try and give him a hard time but Chandler almost often shut them down respectfully and professionally only once had he taken it there with a man and what surprised me most was his father coming to the next meeting to ensure none of the old thought they would get away with disrespecting his son again I thought it was cute the way His father showed up for him it made me wish I had that kind of bond with mine at least I had Papa and for

what it was worth I had Chandler too I don't think there's a simpler way for me to break this down Chandler said how much more do you need me to dumb it down a hush fell over the room as the man he was speaking to Harold sat up in his seat I don't think the problem is that you don't understand my plan of action you don't respect it I can accept that what I can Accept is you playing with my time now if you have true ignorance on this subject I'm more concerned about your place

on this board than anything else so I'll ask again what about this plan and what I've said does not make sense to you Harold chuckled but remained silent and that was the kind of that pissed me off with the roll of my eyes I crossed my legs and scribbled onto my legal pad to do more research into him in case he decided to be a problem when Harold didn't respond Chandler concluded the meeting I thought i' done a good job hiding my frustration until we were alone and Chandler asked are you okay with a nod

I picked up the Bal up paper and empty cups and plates on the conference table to throw away I'm fine I muttered you're lying Chandler gripped my wrist and my chin forcing me to look at him talk to me I huffed and gritted my teeth I hate how these old try and talk to you like you're a child they act Like you being younger than them means they don't have to respect you trust your leadership or accept the fact that you know what you're doing they should be thanking you for saving their jobs instead they

give you a hard time because they can't submit to the leadership of a man that's younger than them he released me and stood there with a goofy grin as he stared down at me there was about 4 in between us when I had on my 4-in heels but I still loved How it felt to have to look up at him something about a tall muscular chocolate man it always did something to me and don't let that man be dressed in white or burgundy don't let that man be Chandler what I asked getting flustered for a

completely different reason the longer he stood so close to me I just think it's cute that you care about me with a groan I pushed him away gently by his stomach and continued to clean the table I'm really upset over how they Treated you and you're focused on that of course I'm focused on that the smoothness of his tone made my pulse it didn't help that he grabbed my hand again and used it to gently pull me back into his space the hardness of his body made my heart race I held my breath wishing he'd

wrap his arms around me but he didn't it was torturous being so close yet feeling so far away if they don't respect me they probably never will I have no desire to earn it I'm Here to do a job and when I'm done I'll be on to the next his fingers were feather light as they pushed my hair off my shoulders and onto my back I held my breath hoping he'd allow his fingers to linger a little while longer what I do care about Chandler's weight shifted from one foot to the other his voice lowered

and head tilted slightly so that his mouth was right by my ear is how much you care about me when his soft juicy lips kissed just under my ear I Went weak at the knees swallowing a moan I closed my eyes tightly as he almost whispered thank you for caring about me chai and for always having my back I couldn't move or speak or even breathe until he put space between us running my hand down my throat I tried to slow my palpitating heart of course I care about you and as irritated as I was

you handled them very well I admire the way you always remain cool and don't let them knock you off your Square he Chuckled as he began to clear the table off with me there are millions riding on this deal they can say just about anything they want and I won't give now if any of them lay a hand on me or disrespect you that's a different story kendler made sure our eyes were locked as he added I'll knock a nigga's head off if they ever disrespected you he'd proven that once before so I didn't have

to question if that was the truth after a meeting 8 months ago one man found it A bit difficult to take my no for an answer thankfully Chandler had come looking for me because I rode with him to the meeting when he found me pressed against the wall Bound by Tyler's strong grip on my neck and thigh I saw a side of Chandler didn't know existed he beat the men half to death and it took several men to pull Chandler off Tyler because of the circumstances Chandler wasn't arrested for assault Tyler however was charged with

attempted Sexual assault I think that was the day I realized how safe I was with Chandler and he'd had a special place in my heart ever since what are your plans for the evening I asked needing to change the subject I don't have any you I have tickets for the baseball game surprise covered his face as we headed out of the conference room I didn't know you were into baseball yeah I used to love it it was the only thing me and my dad used to have in common when he left I stopped Watching I

think I'm finally ready to go to a game again so Papa got me tickets that's what's up chai proud of you for that what other sports are you into basketball and football I know people might not consider it a sport but poker too are you trying to make me fall even more in love with you his tone was playful so I knew he wasn't serious but it made me happy nonetheless you uh if you f up to it I have an extra ticket he didn't respond right away and the Silence between us as we left

the building shattered my heart all this time I thought he really liked me was he just flirting to pass the time did he not want to be seen with me after hours had I made a mistake by inviting him Chandler waited until we were at the Town Car to say I'd love to go to the game with you Cheyenne what took you so long for the first time I looked at him and noticed he was blushing he hit it by sliding his hand down his mouth Dr in His smile in the process honestly I was

stunned that you invited me I wanted to savor the moment cackling I scooted into the car what moment Mr Jones nah don't start that Mr Jones I'm wearing you down let me have this moment I didn't bother arguing with him it wouldn't do me any good anyway this was a moment and I wouldn't deny that I wasn't sure what made me ask him what made me acknowledge the fact that I wanted to spend more time with him today after work Regardless I just hope we had a good time tonight number nine Chandler even dressed down

Cheyenne was my favorite visual her hair was pulled into a low bun and covered by a snapback the oversized t-shirt she had on and cargo pants with Jordans was a stark difference to the dresses slacks linen shorts and trousers I was used to seeing her in I like this too hi she greeted me shyly as I stood in front of the stadium hey thanks again for inviting me it's no Big deal it is to me you ready to go inside she nodded avoiding my eyes that was cute I allowed her to lead the way and

I was surprised to learn we'd be sitting behind home plate your grandfather got you the best seats in the House for your return to the game I said as we got comfortable yeah papa never does anything halfway that's good to know why is that it shows the expectation he'll have of the man you marry and why why does that concern you Her smile made me smile because it's going to be me I need to know how I need to come in order to gain his approval Chandler instead of completely shutting me down she remained silent

and I swear I felt like URL with Laura see I really am wearing you down baby I'm wearing you down yeah it only took 2 years she said through her chuckle you're worth the work and the wait silence found us and I was cool with that I didn't mind her going into her mind if she needed to Think about us and the changes happening between us I was confident this wouldn't be a time she shut down I was surprised a second time when we were approached and Cheyenne was greeted by name we placed an order

for food and drinks and when I tried to pay the attendant told me it was already taken care of I assumed her grandfather had taken care of that too which made me even more curious about who this man was with all the research I'd done on cheyen and I Couldn't find any information about her family all I had to go on was what she told me the game started and we ended up having a great time seeing Cheyenne in this element was an experience to say the least she was competitive and surprisingly the type of

person who was passionate and knowledgeable about the game I love that she wasn't a woman I couldn't Vibe with we could do more than grab food and make small talk by the time the game was over I was just a bit More obsess with this woman as we made our way outside I asked did you take car or you drove Town Car I wouldn't be caught dead driving in this traffic I chuckled that's why I offered to drive yeah but Papa wanted me to meet him after the game so I figure I'd just use his

car service what does your papa do instead of giving me a straight answer she said he's an entrepreneur like you when we made it to the car that awaited her I told her I had a really great time Chu thank you for inviting me you're welcome and thank you for coming this was really fun maybe we can do it again sometime for sure just let me know when she nodded and tried to step into the car but I halted her with actually I want to be intentional with this what do you mean she asked sweetly

looking up at me with a comfortable smile I want to take you out when can I you mean like a date her giggle as she tried to step away From me was all I needed to see to know how to handle her my hold was Loose as I gripped her wrists and used them to hold her arms behind her back pressing her into the car I reveled in a moment her chest caved and she stopped breathing I'm going to keep you here like this so you won't run for me I assured her Cheyenne needed to

be grounded to be present where she'd Go off into that pretty little head of hers I want to spend time with you outside of work you Can call it whatever you want when can I do that um her eyes shifted Saturday that's too far away can we have breakfast in the morning I counted five Mississippi of her grinning and looking at everything except me it was interesting to watch the otherwise confident and communicative Woman become shy and unravel in front of me when I was tired of waiting I kept her wrists bound with one hand

and used the other to pull her Attention back to me by her chin instead of allowing her to lead I said said I'm taking you out for coffee or breakfast in the morning your preference I'll pick you up at 7:00 okay she agreed quietly I'll see you then finally releasing her I stepped back so she could get inside the back seat once she was in comfortably I closed the door and stepped back watching as they headed out of the lot stuffing my hands in my pockets I walked away with a chuckle as Relief filled me

finally it seemed Cheyenne and I were headed in the right direction number 10 Cheyenne it was just coffee between co-workers who were good friends well technically we weren't co-workers Chandler was my boss technically we weren't friends I didn't know what we were either way I was excited about having a coffee date with him this morning I was glad he taken the initiative to hang out but also nervous about it becoming a regular thing it was Easier to avoid my feelings for him when we only interacted for work this coffee was going to to shift things

between us this morning would be the first time I allowed Chandler to pick me up from home he always offered to pick me up or send a car for me but I never wanted him to know where I lived it wasn't because I didn't trust him I just didn't want him to question how I was able to afford the penthouse even with what he paid me if I didn't have the money I had outside of My career the rent would chew a large chunk of my salary he didn't know Papa had purchased the unit for

me and I didn't want him to find out then he'd start asking even more questions about who my grandfather was and what he did I gave him access to my education and background but that was it I had my last name changed instead of Smith like my mother or green like my father and grandfather I used Taylor which was my mom's middle name when I was 18 though I Hated how they've raised and left me a part of me still wanted to be attached to them I kept the name my father had chosen for me

Cheyenne and used my mom's middle name to honor her so when people looked me up nothing personal came up and I loved it that way it allowed me to share what I wanted with who I wanted I wasn't worried about Chandler trying to use me for my or my grandfather's money because he had his own but still men completely changed when they learned I Was the granddaughter of a billionaire knowing I had a staff to make my life easier that cost nearly a million dollars a year had run a few of them away things were

healthy and good between Chandler and me and I didn't want to risk that changing when my phone rang I knew it was either POA or Chandler I grabbed it and smiled at the sight of Chandler name hello I answered hey I'm here but there's been a change Chandler said did you need to reschedule No but we'll have to talk business unfortunately okay give me a couple of minutes and I'll be right down all right beautiful after ending the call I slipped into my shoes and grabbed my purse since I'd done everything else the entire elevator

red down I wondered what could have happened to make this turn into a business meeting if Chandler was switching up on me it had to be something major once I made it to the front of my building the sight of him Leaned against his black jaguar was a sight to behold his model the fpace p250s was one of my favorites along with it Chandler had a Chevrolet Stingray and a pickup truck but he most often used a car service like me he was dressed in all black and the suit looked like it was made specifically

for him Dark Shades covered his eyes as he listened intently to whatever whoever was on the phone said to him his ankles were crossed as he comfortably leaned against The car with gold jewelry on his neck and wrist and in his ears making him look like royalty when he noticed me Chandler smiled and lifted himself off the car by the time I made it over to him he disconnected the call good morning beautiful good morning handsome he was close as he opened the door for me you smell and look good as always thank you I

almost whispered so do you once he was inside the car he said I didn't know you live this close to me I Have a penthouse in the building next door RV Heights those are nice they didn't have any ailable units when I decided to move out this way I'm not surprised they had an extensive weight list when I moved in I ended up having to pay a quarter of a mill under the table just to get bumped to the top of the list I laughed and I shouldn't have been surprised Tano was the kind of

man to do whatever he could to get what he wanted I felt pride in knowing that Included me I ain't trying to count your pockets or judge you but how can you afford the monthly rent there with what I pay you I nibbled my bottom lip not responding immediately are you comfortable paying the rent do you need an increase in your salary I can always pay the entire thing for you if that's not necessary Mr John Cheyenne please between him taking his Shades off to look at me and the firm voice he used I knew

he meant business I'm not asking You this as your boss so cut the then what are you asking as the man who will soon be your man do you need me to handle your rent I don't pay rent I admitted Papa purchased my unit and he pays the rest of my bills I'm good Chandler I waited for the questions to come but they didn't he looked at me locking eyes with me for a brief moment before returning his attention to traffic my entire body relaxed when I realized he wasn't going to make a big Deal

out of what I'd said it wasn't until we pulled up to the coffee shop that was one block away that he said I'll let him pay your bills for now but when we make things official I expect you to not give me a hard time about taking its place he got out of the car swiftly leaving no room for me to respond Candler opened the door for me placing his hand at the small of my back as we walked toward at the coffee shop Chandler I'm okay with us being friends And hanging out outside of

work but I still don't want to date you you're my boss this laughed as if I was Miss Pat or some I didn't think there was anything funny about what I'd said worse he didn't even respond he merely looked at me as he opened the door licking those sexy ass lips did you hear me I asked I heard you but I'm not responding to that silly ass have a seat I'll order our drinks then we can get started I made my way to a small round table by a Window wanting to feel the sun's Rays

on my skin while I waited for him I pulled out my glasses pen and legal pad in case I needed to take notes when Chandler arrived at the table I didn't have to ask what he'd ordered for himself I was sure he'd gotten a white chocolate mocha latte with caramel and for me a peppermint and citrus blend green tea with honey and a splash of vanilla sweet cream thank you I took an immediate sip of the tea you trust that I asked for it To be kids temp so you can drink it immediately he asked

with a smile MK yes and I'm glad you remembered I said causing us both to laugh lightly all right chai I hope you don't have any pressing matters to handle or plans for the rest of the week because we have to go to London Jacobs is starting to waver and I need to meet with him in person to secure this deal now that I knew what was going on my nerves had settled a bit in fact I was actually excited I loved Going to London it was one of my favorite cities I hate jacobs's wavering

but I'm glad we get to go to London that's one of my favorite cities I know he said with a cocky smile that's why I told him we'd meet him there instead of asking him to come here this deal means a lot to me because it'll be the first business I've secured in the UK but it also means a lot to me because of you my head slanted as I registered his words how so I get to take you to one of your Favorite places and I don't want you there as my assistant I want

you there as my co- buyer let's put that interational business degree to use I want to put the spotlight on you his statement caught me so off guard it took took me a while to respond my eyes fluttered as I fought back tears though I'd never said to Chandler I wanted a different role he always provided spaces for me to shine he never made me feel like I was just his assistant though I Took pride in that position what I appreciated most was his trust to discuss deals with me and allowing me to provide Insight

this however was completely unexpected I could admit I loved being a part of the deals as just a listening ear watching chanler secure deals almost gave me the same Rush as my poker games I could only imagine how it would feel if I secured the deals myself or by his side Chandler's money wouldn't soften me toward his advances I had my Own what I couldn't deny were the other things he provided along with money security Adventure opportunity priority those things were making it harder for me to not blur the line between boning my boss and

keeping things professional so his smile was small as he awaited my answer what do you say I don't know what to say I admit it why are you doing this Chandler he took a a sip of his coffee before answering me I know you enjoy being my assistant but I see the light In your eyes when I'm working these deals you love that thrill as much as I do you have the knowledge to do them even if you don't have the experience I want that to change Chandler paused I understand the power a woman has

to influence a man and Inspire him to succeed I've made three times as much since I hired you as I did before you came into my life outside of money you increase my joy and peace my stability I don't take your presence in my life Lightly Cheyenne at all he Shrugged briefly looking out of the window as a couple walked by this just feels like the right thing to do so will you be my right hand and help me secure this deal for a while all I could do was nod I wasn't expecting his words

to be so kind and heartfelt so personal in moving wiping a quickly Fallen tear I sniffled and tugged my bottom lip into my mouth as I lowered my head I'd love to look at me he demanded I did you deserve this Thank you I whispered releasing a shaky breath I'll go ahead and reach out to the pilots to see if they are available we might not be able to leave tonight but I'll try and get it for early tomorrow morning sounds good book your favorite Hotel don't worry about the price okay I agreed with a

smile this was about to be fun number 11 Chandler I never counted pennies making seven figures a year afforded me the freedom to do and get whatever I wanted without Having to ever check the price I did however check my monthly expenses personally and professionally on the last day of the month my accountant would put together spreadsheet so I could see where my money was going when I told Cheyenne to book her favorite Hotel I should have known her bougie as was about to be on some because she sent me the link for approval instead

of just booking it like she usually did I was getting more and more curious about her And her bloodline these days it was getting harder to respect her desire for secrecy the penthouse she stayed in was $112,000 a month they required three times to rent a month in wages and I didn't pay her that much hearing that her grandfather didn't just pay the rent but had bought the unit let me know he was either a multi-millionaire or billionaire if that was the case it should have been easier to do research to find out who he

was since he lived in Our city but I was trying to wait for her to share that information with me it wasn't going to change anything between us or the way I viewed her more than anything I was curious about who he was and what he did and if he was someone I could possibly connect with or learn from I smiled at the thought of our conversation last night when she sent me the link for the executive room at the Four Seasons at 10 Trinity Square it amused me I called her immediately yes Mr Jones

what you send me that room for you know I only do sweets well yes but the smallest site starts at 2,000 a night I wasn't sure if you wanted to spend that for the rest of a week plus my room I know you're not trying to insult me so I'm going to overlook your laps in memory what sweet you stay in when you go shy she sighed into the receiver I don't stay in a suite I stay in a residence but Papa pays for it I replied lips stretching into a Smile for some reason the

distinct difference impressed me and hearing that her grandfather opted for a grander stay than a sweet made me want to oneup him I wanted to show her that I could not only take care of her as well as him but better send me the full hotel link and don't hang up all right she agreed the line remains silent for no more than a minute before I receive the text with the link which one do you usually stay in I asked looking over the Suites and Residences the one-bedroom residence it was a little over $4,000 a

night but you really don't have to get that for me Mr Jones I wasn't trying to suggest you couldn't afford it just that you've never never spent that much on my sleeping Arrangements when we travel I scrolled down not even bothering to look at the other options or reply to what Sheed said when I got to the last two which were the most expensive I looked at the names and prices the second Biggest was the royal Residence at just over 4,000 sare ft it was $116,000 a night the biggest was the skyline Penthouse it was

just over 9,000 ft and add for bedrooms plus a gym and theater the price wasn't on the website and you had a call to book it so I figured it was 40 to 50,000 a night the skyline Penthouse is appealing to me because of the gym and theater but I like the way the Royal residence looks the floor to ceiling windows and large Terrace with Views of the city are breathtaking which one do you think we should get you uh she stuttered before coughing making me hold back my laugh either sounds fine Chandler it just

depends on what you think you'll get the most enjoyment out of the view or the gym and the theater I was going to get the most enjoyment out of finally impressing this woman and there was no doubt in my mind this was the way to do it money might not have impressed her but doing something better Than her grandfather would let's go with the skyline Penthouse go ahead and call them and book it for the rest of the week oh I'll forward the confirmation email to you when it's done do that I agreed before disconnecting

the call she had meat up thinking only her beloved Papa could spoil her now I could only chuckle and shake my head as we headed to the hotel from the airport booking the most expensive Penthouse at the hotel came with several perks and a Limousine service from the airport plus a chafford rollsroyce for the length of our stay was two of them we would also have meals prepared by a private Chef in room spa services and a private personalized wine tasting and you'd better well believe we were going to take full advantage of all of

it when we arrived at the hotel I could practically feel the excitement radiating from her still I wanted to hear her actually say it so I asked are you excited to be here Yes she squealed skipping toward the hotel not just the city but this hotel I love experiences and this will be one I know it I'm glad you do I meant it when I said we're taking advantage of everything this place has to offer though she laughed I was dead serious after we were checked in we were led to the penthouse house it was

massive the two-story space had a small boardroom and office when you first went in we went room by room checking everything Out the kitchen Library sitting room theater gym I was glad I chose this one because it had a private Terrace and garden as well all right you know the drill I told her as we made it to the master bedroom with a super king bed oh no absolutely not I'm not taking this room Chandler the rest of the rooms have regular King beds I'll be more than okay in one of those Cheyenne as much

as you paid for this now money is a resource to me and I use it to get what I want what I want is for you to enjoy yourself be comfortable and take this room her head shook as she looked around the large room nope this is one time I'm putting my foot down you have this room I really want you to I didn't have much time to go back and forth with her about about it so I agreed I was anxious to meet with Jacobs and we were set to meet in 3 hours fine

are you going to try and take a nap before the meeting just an hour please don't let me over sleep I got you I didn't doubt that because she always did 3 hours later wow I muttered at the sight of Cheyenne she might not have like fancy dinners at Michelin restaurants but if she didn't look gorgeous going to them the white mini dress she hat on showed off every one of her curves most often she dressed in black white or cream and I think my favorite shade against her cinnamon hued skin was white her hair

was pulled up into an up do with two spiraly curls Hanging in the front and back of her head is this too much she asked nude heel stabbing the floor as she walked over to me I know this is a business meeting but the vibe seems super chill and artsy based on my research chai I had to pull my hands behind me to keep from touching her you look phenomenal if London have you popping out like this I need to bring you here all the time she giggled as she told me let's go sir you

look great by the way I was on the same Wave as her trying to keep it professional but not looking too out of place my white button-down shirt had the first few buttons open with no tie I wore white slacks with a brown belt and loafers with my customary gold jewelry by the time we made it down the driver was already waiting for us it didn't take us long to get to sketch which I appreciated I was more nervous than I wanted to admit this deal meant a lot to me and I was hoping Jacobs

wouldn't Renig I realized I wasn't hiding my nervousness as well as I thought I was when we pulled up to the restaurant and Cheyenne rested her hand on my shaking leg you got this and I got you she said the words were simple in form but they were exactly what I needed to calmed down it felt like a gross misrepresentation to say sketch was unlike any other restaurant I'd ever been to it was in fact artsy and chill each room had a different vibe and color Scheme we ended up meeting Jacobs and his team in

the gallery which was an all yellow room with different color accents he spent the bulk of the meeting eating and drinking on my dime which I was used to some people would try and draw negotiations out to get as much out of me as as they could both Cheyenne and I tried to continuously steer him back to the reason for our presence to begin with Jacob seemed to soften with Cheyenne which I understood since she Was a woman I didn't think he expected her to be as vocal this time around but he entertained her and

eventually found himself talking business with her too she pulled me back into the conversation and I was able to reassure him that allowing me to buy his LLC and every umbrella company underneath was a good idea by the time we left he promised me that he'd give me his final answer within 48 hours I accepted that and hoped he wouldn't take that full amount Of time by the time the meeting was over I was mentally and emotionally exhausted I was hoping Cheyenne didn't want to see the city tonight thankfully she was just as tired as

me we ended up going back to the hotel and as soon as I undressed and got to bed I went straight to sleep number 12 2 Days Later Cheyenne Chandler was losing his and was the cutest thing I'd seen in a while as he paced in front of me I could only smile with us having over 9,000 squ ft in this Suite he Chosen to unravel in front of me for a while I continued to eat my fruit and ignore him when I couldn't take it anymore I set the fruit down and called his name

his movements stopped as he looked at me huh will you sit down I yelled playfully through my laugh I can't I'm too anxious this man really taking the full 48 hours to call me that's just aack itic I know he's already made up his mind I agree it's still frustrating I stood and told him Go put on some clothes maybe getting out of the suite will do you some good yesterday we took advantage of what the hotel had to offer by getting massages and having a private wine tasting before dinner where are we going he

asked I'll call for the car hm let's go with the flow I have a few places in mind to start we can do the typical tourist sightseeing stuff and I can show you some of my favorite places then maybe we can shop in the day with a dinner cruise On the Tims River and hit up a couple of bars he gave me a smile as he left saying yeah you really like it here I chuckled I headed toward my room because that was true about 30 minutes later we were heading out dressed casually for the

day I knew he had a lot on his mind so I kept him talking on the ride as I suggested we went to a few tourist Staples before hitting up two different malls we ended up buying so much we had to go back to the suite to get rid of Our bags that was cool because it allowed us to shower and change for the dinner cruise I love to get boat cruise mainly because I loved being on and in the water just as we were getting ready to head out Chandler got a phone call this

is him he said hopping out of the Rolls-Royce quickly and slamming the door I watched him intently the clenched jaw dark eyes powerful stride though my intention was to gauge how the conversation was going I couldn't deny How beautiful this man was all it took was that smile for me to know Jacobs agreed Chandler disconnected the call and beat his chest then looked toward the sky a comfortable smile rested on his lips as he got back in the car well I asked needing him to say what I already knew he's on board yay congratulations Chandler

thank you chai I honestly wouldn't have been able to do this without you he found you to be quite Charming glad I could help we have To celebrate what are you thinking he thought over my question for a while before saying what's one place you've never gone that I can take you to experience my head shook as I looked out of the window I focused on the cars we pass instead of his eyes this is your moment Chandler you don't have to take me anywhere this is our moment he said correcting me where would you

like to go Chandler I don't want you doing anything extra for me why not as it often did his Hand went to my chin and he used it to direct my eyes to his you do more for me than typical CEOs do for their executive assistants you mean more to me you're not just my executive assistant Cheyenne this trip and the last one has proven that so I want no excuses and I don't want you overthinking this all I need is for you to tell me where you want to go surrendering I nodded my agreement

you know I'm an island girl I have an island bucket list that has all the places I Want to travel maybe we can pick something off there his smile was a great reward for my submission that sounds wonderful chai I pulled up the notes app on my phone and we went down the list choosing Sri Lanka if we're going to do this can you promise me something he asked depends on what it is ch's chuckle was so sexy I squeezed my thighs together as he licked his lips can you promise me that you will open

yourself up to the possibility of us Being more than just CEO Anda I want you and I've never denied that if you can't admit that you want me too and give us the space to see where that goes even if just while we're on the island we can finish out our trip here and go back home my heart dropped it felt like an ultimatum which I could understand Chandler confirmed my suspicions when he added I will chase you forever but I just need to know we have the same destination in our on the same path

if You really don't see a future with me tell me and I promise it won't change our working relationship it's not that I don't want to be with you then what is it I haven't been completely honest with you about who I am and where I come from so you wouldn't understand my hesitance we can Rectify that by you opening up to me it doesn't have to happen now we can go at your own pace okay I paused and shifted slightly turning more toward him I do like you Chandler I've always liked You I haven't

allowed myself to open up to to the idea of us because I didn't think it would ever be possible but I would love to see what that would be like even if it's just for the length of the trip Chandler lifted my hand to his mouth and kissed it urging me to continue men have used me and lied to me to get to my grandfather they've abused me and cheated and expected me to accept it because of their status I can honestly say with my whole heart I don't Think that will be an issue with

you but my mind I trigger you he said vocalizing what I've been feeling but unable to express who I am what I I have it's a trigger with a smile I nodded softly yes I admit it for the first time since we'd met I went on to tell him my full truth all about my parents and the abandonment which led to my grandfather adopting me how friends and lovers treated me how that led to me being single and enjoying male companionship on my own terms with Boundaries that kept them from even knowing who I was

greed and the Love of Money how money tainted a person's character the egos that came with it I dealt with those consequences is all my life it wasn't until I pulled away from that lifestyle and those people that I started to really be happy and at peace I accept and respect that to prove it I won't ask who your family is that honestly doesn't matter to me anyway I won't lie and say I don't want to meet The man who means so much to you one day but again we can go at your own pace

for right now I just want the chance to show you that you can trust me to not be anything like the men in your past can I have that I wanted to tell myself to go slow to not rush into my answer or this new stage but it had already been 2 years i' gone slow enough yes you can have that Chandler smiled and leaned forward giving me that coveted forehead kiss I've been missing since the last Time he blessed me with it you won't regret this chai I promise as scared as I was a

part of me was confident I wouldn't number 13 4 days later Chandler we finished up the trip in London then headed to Sri Lanka London was almost 5 hours behind Sri Lanka so we had a late arrival and and the time difference was kicking our asses it didn't matter how much we traveled the time difference and jet lag were always a what further pissed me off was after our 12-hour Flight we got to the resort and found out the suite I reserved wasn't available as calm as I was trying to remain hearing the woman try

to explain the situation continued to piss me off I'm unsure why that Suite was even available for booking she said it's been booked for the last 3 weeks I understand this is a last minute trip for you so we're going to try and accommodate you to the best of our abilities we hate for you to go somewhere else anything you Have will be fine Cheyenne assured the woman calmly wrapping her hand around my arm nah I want the suite I booked that was the reason I booked it if we can't have that we can go

somewhere else excuse us cheyen said using my hand to tug me away from the counter Chandler I wanted this trip to be perfect to be special I told her it's already ready up she gave me a warm smile and took both of my hands into hers this trip is already perfect because I'm here with You I know you like to have the best sweet but I really want to stay at this Resort it has all the excursions I want to do plus golf for you she wrapped her arms around my neck and her chin rested

on my chest as she pouted please even if I wanted to go against her I couldn't she had had me wrapped around her finger all right beautiful whatever you want that pleased her enough for her to Scurry back over to the counter with my card and finish the reservation we ended Up getting a basic Villa with one bed but as long as she was cool with it so was I on the bright side I'd have the chance of sleeping with her in my arms I wouldn't rush it though if she wanted me to sleep on

the couch or look into a rollway bed I would the Villa didn't have the outdoor bathtub or plunge pool that I want wanted but did have a Jacuzzi so I was cool with that the mountain and Forest views were beautiful and they calmed me down instantly I Could see why she wanted to come here once the view relaxed me I headed back into the villa and asked Cheyenne which side of the bed do you want she Shrugged as she pulled her hair up into a bun I usually sleep on the right but it doesn't matter

that worked perfectly since the door was on the left we dressed and prepared for a hike it didn't surprise me me that was the first thing she wanted to do this girl loved running and walking and I was just glad I was in great shape and exercised regularly so I could keep up with her after our hike we had dinner then took turns getting ready for bed since there was only one bathroom I could tell she was going into her shy ASO I stayed on the left side of the bed while she lay on the

right with Darkness surrounding us she called my name in The Silence yes chai I'm excited and happy to be here I know it didn't have the start you wanted but thank you you know I'll do Absolutely anything for you I'm happy to experience this with you good night Chandler good night as tired as I was I couldn't get to sleep quickly knowing she was in the same bed as me yet so far away was like torture I didn't think she went to sleep quickly either at some point sleep finally found me and as desperate as

I was to have have her in my arms I was happy just to have her close the next morning I wasn't expecting to wake up with Cheyenne's leg Draped across me it was right over my when she shifted and brushed against it I groaned her movements stopped immediately sorry she said voice raspy and sexy even thick with sleep it's cool I adjusted and that was the first time I realized my hand was full of har ass I mean I had a nice grip on it too I wasn't sure at what point we migrated to the

middle of the bed but here we were with her arm and leg tossed over me and my arm wrapped around her while I Squeezed and rubbed her ass Cheyenne moaned and that made my already throb she got more comfortable against me holding me even tighter good morning she almost sang it definitely is her sniggle made me smile this is a great progress yeah it is Cheyenne's hands slid up and down my chest feels natural I agree when she looked up at me with a smile my heart skipped a beat chai you're a beautiful sight to

wake up to so are you as nice as this is we have to get up we Have a lot to do I groaned as she rolled out of bed making her laugh come brush your teeth so you can give me a good morning kiss you ain't got to tell me but once the sound of her hearty laughter was like music to my ears but I was serious I near tripped over my own feet trying to meet her in the bathroom two years I'd been waiting for this kiss and I didn't want to give her any

time to change her mind to be honest I would have kissed her while we were still in Bed but we could brush our teeth and be fresh for the two even with her being the one to suggest this I could tell when she started thinking about what she' actually said her eyes began to shift and her movements slow down once we finished brushing our teeth I waited to see what she was going to do Cheyenne covered her face and laughed quietly I'm nervous closing the space between us I lowered her hands from her face and

pressed her body into the sink with mine Why are you nervous I've never asked for a kiss before then why did you now I knew you wouldn't just kiss me because you're letting me set the pace true I admired her her initiating the kiss to let me know she was ready for it but I could tell it was time for me to take the lead you trust me she nodded my hand wrapped around her neck I used it to tilt her head back her eyes fluttered as she whimpered close your eyes she did I took

my time looking over her beautiful Face I waited until her body relaxed and she was no longer expecting the kiss so she'd be surprised then I lowered myself and connected our lips what started out slow and exploratory shifted to Something Sweet deep and familiar my hands went to her ass and I used it to pull her closer moans seeped from my lips to hers the sound caught me off guard I'd never moan from a kiss before then again I'd never been kissed so well so deeply so passionately before Wow she whispered stroking her lips with

her fingers resting my forehead on hers I released a low mm that was the best kiss I've ever had same she tilted her head reconnecting her lips with mine I wasn't sure how long we stood there kissing but I was in no rush to pull away the only reason I step back was because I didn't want our first time to be here like this I wanted it to be special and more intentional so as much as I wanted to keep my lips on hers I Left the bathroom so she could shower first though I definitely

need a cold one before we started our day number 14 Cheyenne asking for a kiss open a dam I never wanted to shut all day Chandler and I have been unable to keep our hands and lips off each other I loved every second of it I also loved the excursions he planned for us we started our day pretty chill with yoga for me and golf for Chandler before going on a tea factory tour after that we went to Another waterfall then ended the day with a fun cooking class and high tea tomorrow we'd have a

full day Excursion to in a couple of national parks and temples I was glad we were able to squeeze in a few different things today I had no in between when I traveled either I wanted to be busy all day or relaxing in bed or on a beach doing nothing at all I loved that Chandler was the exact same way it was always easy for us to make plans and not have to Worry about being disappointed or bored to appe the other person once we showered I was ready to get in bed and call it

a day my excitement and energy waned the moment my body processed we were back in our Villa I cuddled up next to Chandler surprised I felt so comfortable with him so quickly physically that was further confirmation to me that I made the right choice by exploring things between us on this trip did you enjoy yourself today he asked Absolutely you yeah Shri Lanka was never a place I wanted to visit but I'm glad I did it's out of this world I'm glad I got to come here with you that makes taking this place off my

bucket list twice as special thank you baby that makes me happy you really mean that don't you sitting up by rested against the the headboard you really enjoy me and making me happy chanler sat next to me yeah chai I do his admission reminded me of the power of words and how from The wrong person they could cause a hell of a lot of pain but from the right person they could heal it her lips connected and I decided in this moment I want to give myself to him fully our kisses were hungry it was

like he wanted more just like I did but he held back I wanted his hands on my body so I put them there he immediately took control I knew it he mumbled knew what that you would taste good he returned his lips to mine and lowered my body to the bed how Far are we going beautiful are we stopping here my head Shook and I shivered from the feel of his fingers swirling against my stomach can I get a better taste of your sweet biting down on my bottom lip I nodded yes Chandler I want

you inside of me too are you sure I nodded use your words I'm sure Chandler took his time removing my night gown then his sweats and boxers I didn't mean to stare but I was mesmerized by the sight of his he rolled us over and Wrapped my legs around himself before pressing his way inside of me our lips were connected but mine formed an O by the time he reached the pit of me we both released Low homes as he stilled with our eyes locked mine watered I couldn't believe this was finally happening he gave

me a shy smile before kissing me and slowly circling his hips against me his Strokes were long and deep and so slow flirt curses and whimpers continuously fell out of my Trembling Lips the feel of his breath against my ear as he talked to me to and through my orgasm only intensified the pleasure don't stop rocking them hips you were chasing that nut come get it Chandler I whimpered as he gripped my hands and lifted them over my head my core heated and spine tingled warmth spread throughout my entire frame you a creamer I love

that that's because she's mine the sound of our bodies connecting as I matched his Strokes filled the room I pulled in a deep breath as a another orgasmic wave caused my body to tremble as I came I cried out his name that time Chandler came with me my eyes rolled into the back of my head as I gripped the sheets hoping I could keep the energy needed to accept all he had for me the next morning I woke up with a smile on my face I woke up in Chandler's arms for a moment I wondered

why we hadn't done this sooner then I remembered I'd been keeping him at Bay And he'd been so patient with me good morning beautiful the sound of his husky morning voice made my spine tingle good morning Chandler kissed my head causing me to curl up against him he chuckled are you close enough not quite you know what would make us closer H he was right us becoming one was as close as we could get I turned riding him reverse cowgirl until we both came then I got out of bed to take care of my hygiene

the sight of my reflection in the mirror tickled me I Was glowing and my hair was all over the place you could definitely tell I'd been fresh Leed and I loved how satisfied and happy I looked I took a quick yet thorough shower so Chandler could occupy the bathroom he let me know he'd ordered breakfast as he passed me to get into the bathroom and I thanked him because I was starving since we' gotten up pretty early I'd be able to get a few laps in at the main pool before we left to start our

excursions for the day sleep had Snuck back up on me when I felt Chandler's body dent the bed I forced myself to sit back up I didn't mean to wake you he said pulling me onto his chest I need to get up anyway we have a lot to do today yeah what do you think about just chilling tomorrow before we have to get out of here that sounds like a plan maybe we can get massages that'll work whatever you want I'm starting to accept that you actually mean that his chuckle Was quiet but I felt

his body shudder against me good you know what else you should accept what your mind shy now that we've taken things to the next level that didn't sound so scary opening myself up to a romantic relationship with Chandler was refreshing more than it was draining if I'm Yours that means you're mine and I can have you anytime I want right it does he tilted My Head by my chin looking into my eyes as he said you can have me Whenever However and you can come to me for whatever I'm at your disposal and here for

your pleasure just continue opening up for me and let me provide my hand wrapped around his neck and I lowered his lips to mine our centers reconnected and we separated only so he could answer the door and get our food the next day we should talk Chandler said handing me a glass of wine I apologize for not bringing this up sooner what is it I asked getting Comfortable in bed we'd gone axe throwing and decided to chill after lunch I wasn't sure what we were going to do tonight but I was excited to see what

would be in store are you on birth control oh that I didn't bring condoms though to be honest if I had I probably wouldn't have used them he chuckled shyly before looking away briefly that sounds Reckless and I've never done that before you've never not used a condom before for I confirmed he nodded yes I Have never not used a condom before you're the first woman I've ever made love to Raw why do you feel comfortable enough to do that with me Chandler Shrugged as his fingers slid up and down my exposed thigh I trust

you in all ways that trust shouldn't have led to me coming in you without your approval though especially since I don't know if you're on birth control or not I am I assured him taking his hand into my free one and kissing his palm thank you for Trusting me I trust you too clearly we mirrored each other's Smiles until I took a sip of my wine if you weren't would you have been okay with us risking conception we just decided to see what could happen with us would that have been too much I know that

birth control can fail so there's always a chance I'll get pregnant I would accept it if it happened but I don't want it to happen anytime soon I agree I want you to have my children eventually though how many Do you want to have three or four I hated being an only child same I agreed happy that there was yet another thing we could bond over Chandler and I continued to talk until it was time for dinner which was a first well it wasn't uncommon for us to talk but it was uncommon for me to

talk so much with a man on a romantic level I loved the Friendship we had before we took things to the next level and I was nervous but excited to see where things would go Number 15 Chandler as luck would have it we were able to upgrade our last night here as the sun set we ate fruit and sipped wine from the floating table in in the middle of the plunge pool this was the kind of vibe and luxury I wanted to provide for Cheyenne for the entire trip but she'd seemed to enjoy everything else

our stay here had to offer so I was pleased with that I couldn't take my eyes off her as she swam from one side of the pool to Another she pushed her hair out of her face pulling in a deep breath with her eyes landed on me she smiled what you looking at she asked you you're beautiful Cheyenne swam over to me and connected her lips with mine I'd never seen a more beautiful sight than her smiling face as the sun lowered to change places with the moon she turned in my arms wrapping them around

her this is truly one of the best views on Earth I looked from the sky to her I agree our Eyes locked briefly before she returned her gaze to the sky I can't wait to bring you here again what makes you so sure I'll come back here with you she asked teasingly there's no way I won't bring you back to the place you finally said yes to me thank you for being so patient with me I promise now that you have me I'm going to be worth it oh I'm not worried about that I know

you are that is too shy and laughed as she turned to face me really babe that was a Compliment that is to die for mhm that is worth living for now that made me laugh I love the the new Dynamic of our relationship but I was also glad we were able to still talk and enjoy each other's company without it feeling weird as much as I wanted to spend every hour of the day touching every inch of her and learning her body I didn't want Cheyenne to think all I wanted on a romantic level was

sex but it was nice to hear her Express her appreciation for Me sexually too how do you think things will be when we get home she asked like this I'll be intentional about us not getting out of this stage just because we're back home and focused on work and then I love the sound of that I know how easy it can be to lose the spark especially when you work with the person you're with I don't want that to happen to us and I don't want us to get tired of each other as long as

I've waited to have you in this way I can promise you I'll never get tired of you if you keep talking like this all we're going to do is my hands squeeze her ass nah I ain't did you yet no what's that like instead of responding vocally I picked her up and carried her to the edge of the pool cheyen slid down on me and rode me fast and hard standing on nothing but her toes in the chair the cocky smile she gave me let me know what I was in for so I relaxed in

the seat and let her take complete control number 16 back in Rose Valley Hills Cheyenne my eyes watered as the jet taxied I had a wonderful time in Sri Lanka London too the past 11 days with Chandler finally changed things between us and I couldn't be happier that he challenged me to trust him and his lead I thought back to what he had for me before we left the island yesterday we decided to leave around 2: p.m. since the flight home would be over 24 hours allowing the pilots to take breaks I was packing my

last bag when Chandler came behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist the kiss he placed on my neck made me melt I'd never get enough of his touch his kiss his words his actions him you got some room in your bags for this and turned as he lifted several bags from the floor with a gasp I accepted them I had no idea what he'd been up to while I swam and hiked the morning away being in water and nature always made me feel grounded out of my head and close to God what's All

this I wanted to get you a few things to physically remember this trip by I know we took a lot of pictures but I wanted you to have some things you could hold in your hands he strategically packed the bags I first reached for the salant which I'd savor every sip of there were also spices an elephant figurine and a mask sorry and song that I'd probably get a stand for and Showcase in the center of my dressing room the last gift at the Bottom of the bag was a genuine sapphire and diamond ring that

made my mouth water from its shine and Beauty the tin karat Beauty had to cost him close to $100,000 Chandler loved investing in jewelry just as much as I loved investing in art so knowing that he made that investment for me made my heart expand and gush we were almost late for the flight because there was no way I wouldn't use every hole on my body to show my appreciation hey he called Softly gripping my thigh you okay over there yes I just missed the island already London too yeah me too I miss working but

nothing has ever felt as good as the time I just spent with you his declaration caused me to lean over and connect his lips with mine are you sure you don't want to come back to my place he asked cupping my cheek I'd love to but I promised Papa I'd come see him when we landed I haven't taken a trip that lasted this long long in a while All right don't worry about coming into the office for the next couple of days take some time to rest and adjust to the time difference I would tell

you to do the same but I know you'll probably end up at the office as soon as the sun comes up Chandler didn't bother denying that as he unbuckled his seat belt it was almost 4: in the morning which was around the time Papa usually got up anyway kler didn't typically get up until 6:00 but we both slept a lot on The plane we kissed and said our goodbyes before heading to our separate Town Cars I missed him as soon as we parted ways excitement settled in my core at the thought of seeing Papa though

the last time we spent almost 2 weeks apart was when I went to Korea for the drive I took the time to finally respond to emails and text messages I didn't get too many calls because I told my small circle of people about my trip so they texted me to avoid not being Able to reach me because of the time differences the moment we pulled into the long circular driveway I bounced in my seat I hadn't even allowed lead to cut the car off before I was hopping out and rushing to the front door door

Papa's house manager Bartlett had already been made aware of my arrival so he had the door unlocked and breakfast being prepared by the kitchen staff papa may not have spent his money frivolously but he paid for convenience and luxury And I loved and mirrored that as he aged he was probably the healthiest and most stress-free person I knew I found Papa in the sitting area of his bedroom sipping tea and reading a book Papa he shut the book quickly turning at the sound of my voice my bell as soon as I was with Within Reach

he pulled me into his arms it's so good to see you and hold you Belle I missed you so much my eyes watered and I swallowed hard trying to keep my tears from falling as I held Him tighter I missed you too Papa K me tell me all about your trip we released each other and I sat next to him on the cream sofa with burgundy flowers well there's something different about you he interrupted me to say his eyes slowly perused my frame freezing on the ring Chandler had given me it was on my right

ring finger Chandler and I we agreed to date well I think we're in a relationship I'm not exactly sure Papa chuckled as he sat up in his seat how Aren't you sure well he told me I was his but I'm not sure if that was the say I almost choked on the word and coughed to cover it up Papa and I were close but we weren't close enough for me to talk to him about my sex life I want to meet him then I'll ask him myself he leaned forward and grabbed his tea you want

to me meet him any man that has captured your heart and brought this light to your eyes he's a good man that I couldn't deny a part of me knew that now That things had shifted between Chandler and I that my two favorite men would have to meet but I wasn't expecting it to be this soon I guessed it was Pastime they both wanted to meet each other over the years and it was my choice to keep them apart finally that would change number 17 the next day Chandler by the time I made it to

the office I still hadn't woken up fully sleeping without Cheyenne had been hell it was crazy how something or someone could have such a Monumental effect on your life in just a few days before sleeping with her in my arms I slept perfectly last night I tossed and turned and found no relief the only thing that kept me from smoking or drinking to relax was the fact that I didn't want to let a substance be a bomb for the ache I had for her I wanted to feel every Pang of missing my woman because it

would make sure I did everything within my power to keep her in my life and in my bed Something Told Me Cheyenne was going to bring her pretty as to the office this morning even though I told her not to I was hoping she took the time to rest but if she didn't I wouldn't blame her she took as much pride in and was just as dedicated to my business as I was and I'd forever be grateful to her for that learning about her past was like getting missing pieces to a puzzle I knew it

had to be something drastic to lead to her grandfather adopting her but I wasn't Expecting what she'd said about her parents to be the case I could respect her wanting to carve her own path and not rely on her family's name because I was the same way I could have easily worked to my family's Corporation but decided against it knowing that she wanted that freedom further confirmed I made the right decision by making her my co- buyer not just because we'd split the seven figure commission but because it would be the first purchase in her

Portfolio I saw something in her and I thought after the London trip she finally saw it in herself Cheyenne was truly One of a Kind she didn't just have an eye for art but for good investments in general we could shake the world up if we continued this buying partnership a smile lifted the corners of my mouth when I rounded the corner and saw Amy at her desk hi Mr Jones she said in a chipper tone welcome back hey Amy it's good to be back my eyes shifted to the Left at Cheyenne's office have you

heard from Cheyenne yet um I'm not supposed to say either way chuckling I continued toward my office that's all I need to hear thank you you're welcome can I get you anything sir coffee please get a tote and pastries for the office and that t Cheyenne likes since I'm sure she'll be in soon you've got it I took the next several minutes returning a few phone calls that I neglected to prioritize before the trip since it was Taken on short notice regardless of how important my business was I wasn't going to rush through the trip

when it provided a chance for Cheyenne and meet a bond and connect on a deeper level there was a soft knock on the door before Cheyenne came in hi she spoke quietly shut the door and come here don't yell at me she requested voice tiny and sweet I didn't come in yesterday so I rested a little yelling at her was the last thing on my mind Because I knew her ass was going to be here just like me I love that you care about my business as much as I do I told her setting her

on my lap I'm not going to yell at you for that then W grabbing her face I covered her lips with mine and kissed her until we needed to come up for air between her moans soft size and smiles I was a few kisses away from locking the door and spreading her wide at top my desk with my forehead against ERS I pulled in a deep shaky breath I Missed you beautiful I missed you too I slept like I need you in my bed tonight okay she agreed wrapping her arms around my neck I stayed

the night with Papa so I didn't get the best sleep either I enjoyed spending the day with him but when I tried to get to sleep I wanted to be with you I wanted to meet her grandfather but would continue to go at her Pace just because things had changed between us that didn't mean her triggers and traumas had magically disappeared I Wanted Cheyenne to know she could trust me with her and that I will have no ulterior motives throughout our relationship however long that took I'd wait because it wouldn't be a matter of time

it would be a matter of my effort if I wanted her to trust me I have to be a man worthy of her trust I want to take you out tonight I said do you have plans nothing that can't be rescheduled though I feel like I shouldn't say that because I don't want you to think I'm too Available for you her teasing smile and tone had me gripping her ass and pulling her closer baby I'll clear my schedule and the world for you you could never make yourself too available for me Cheyenne rubbed her nose

against mine releasing a purr that made my already throb my desk phone rang and Amy's voice filled the room Mr Jones I'm back I'm about to get everything set up in the conference room did you want me to bring yours I'll grab it Cheyenne answered Lifting from my lap biting my bottom lip I clung to her hand not ready to start the day and let her go just yet tonight she promised giving me a soft lingering kiss the promise of our date became the driving force to work and get things done as quickly as I

possibly could number 18 Cheyenne I'm just glad you're done acting like you don't like that man you near pulled my arm out its socket trying to stop me from shaking his hand I laughed at Selena's Dramatics as I Thought back to when they met at the Tipsy Grill I really didn't plan to shove their hands down so hard but it pissed me off just thinking she was about to try and push up on him over the course of my time working with Chandler I couldn't recall him being in a serious relationship and I didn't want

that to change especially with my cousin Selena was the kind of woman whose personality made men go crazy over her so I knew if nothing else Chandler would enjoy her Company that wasn't something wanted to risk you are so dramatic Selena I did not do it that hard she sucked her teeth before returning her attention to the braid she was finishing up we were on FaceTime as I got ready for my date with Chandler and she was finishing up her last client of the day having a cousin who did hair was a true flex she

kept my sewings on point when I wanted to let my natural hair breathe I went to her for trims while I maintained it myself Whatever you have to tell yourself she said with a smile I'm going to let you go though I know you're ready to get done so you can get home and rest those hands all right Boo have fun tonight and make me a little cousin too now you know that's not happening anytime soon mhm we'll see from the way you said yall was going at it it's probably already happened no ma'am I'm

on birth control boo I want a baby then have one I yelled through my laugh I want you to have a Baby for me so I can give them back to you when I want to we continue to laugh and talk for a few minutes before making plans to go out with Amy and Selena's best friend then we end of the call the timing was perfect too because I had about 15 minutes left before Chandler was set to arrive I used that window to unprint my hair apply my perfume and switch out my purses as

I slipped into my heels the doorman called to let me know Chandler was in the lobby I told Him that he could let Chandler up as my nerves started to Rattle which didn't make sense I just spent almost 2 weeks with the man I guess since this was our first date at home it made things feel really official plus I was still thinking about what Papa said were we really in a relation relationship or were we dating and letting sex blind us I guess I'd have to ask him for my own validation the knocking on

my door led me to it as soon as I opened it and saw A Chandler standing behind it my heart plummeted to my feet in the best way he'd always been so attractive to me but knowing he was mine further increased his appeal that muscular build that smooth Nutella brown skin his fine ass face God I couldn't get enough of this man and don't even get me started on his character or wor a swag in the way he carried himself God had truly taken his time when he crafted Chandler Jones how'd I get so lucky

he said solo I Could barely hear him as he looked at me I looked down at myself absently pleased that he liked my outfit for the evening though I didn't know where we were going this evening he told me I could dress for a cocktail hour I chose a red silk dress that clung to my curves perfectly kender's tan and burgundy shirt and SLX beautifully accented his skin if there was one thing the man could do it was dress I was grateful for his stylist and tailor every day I saw him hi I spoke Using

his chin to get his eyes on me he chuckled as he pulled me close you look stunning chai thank you you look handsome as always I'm going to have the prettiest woman on my arm in every room we step in tonight can I finally know what we're doing yes he agreed accepting my key to lock the door behind me I'm taking you to the grand opening of divine and then we're going to J Sai dinner and dancing excitement surged through me Divine was the New Black own Gallery that opened in the arts district I hadn't

met Sabbath the owner personally but I'd heard some great things about her yay this is the perfect date I wanted to go to the opening but forgot when it was and I love JDS I'm glad you're pleased since this is our first date at home I wanted to make sure we both enjoyed it speaking of that I nibbled my cheek as we stepped onto the elevator I wanted to be direct with Chandler but I wondered how his answer Would make me feel before our date should I have waited until it was over to broach the

subject of our exclusivity I told Papa a little about us he asked if we were in a relationship or just dating well I told him I wasn't sure if we were in an exclusive relationship or just dating we were having a lot of sex and that can sometimes blur some lines now that we've spent the night apart can we talk about what we are he chuckled there's nothing to talk about when I Told you you were mine I meant that all of you and I'm yours I don't share and neither will you we're exclusive and

there will be space for no one else in our relationship does that clear things up things are like Crystal now I replied with a smile as he pulled me into his arms for a kiss that lasted until the elevator opened now that we had that out of the way I was ready to enjoy our date the gallery opening had been wonderful we were able to see pieces from some Well-known and newer artist Candler took it upon himself to introduce me to sabath and let her know I was an art buyer though I hadn't officially started

my business yet I told her that I was currently buying for myself and those close to me but Chandler wouldn't let me downplay my abilities by the end of the evening sabath and I were exchanging information to discuss me ac crewing art for her Gallery hey I said gaining Chandler's attention we drifted apart to Talk to people we knew and had finally made our way back to each other yes baby he replied handing me a flute of champagne thank you for what being a true partner and supporting me seeing things in me and believing in

me that's my job Ty you're my crown I'm going to always cultivate you and lift you up I gave him a tender kiss you feel like the first real relationship I've ever had the first time I've been with a real man who sees me as his equal I love that for Me endler's smile was sexy as he gave me another quick kiss I love you for me you complete me you're the reason I feel like I finally know what a helpmate and Rib is supposed to be I know we're still really early with the development

of our new relationship but I want you to be my wife chai I want to spend the rest of my life with you his words brought tears to my eyes before I could respond we were given a surprise of his parents approaching us I'd met them both before But this time was different because Chandler introduced me as his woman it felt surreal and like I wasn't truly present as we engaged because I was still processing his words by the time we left for dinner I was on a cloud that I didn't think anything would pull

me down from number 19 Chandler few Cheyenne released a vocal breath as we returned to our seats we been at Jade long enough to have a few drinks and dance to a couple of songs I'm having so Much fun I didn't realize I was staring at her until she laughed lightly and bashfully looked away what's on your mind she asked before sipping her wine you how beautiful you are how good you feel in my arms ever the smooth talker she CED only to you now that we were back in our seats our waitress came to

to take our food orders I opted for steak with two sides and Cheyenne got Lobster if she could this woman would eat seafood and street food all day Every day did you make up your mind about school I asked remembering she mentioned getting a fourth degree in art history still thinking about it I have so many options and I want to make sure I don't stretch myself too thin I feel like linking with Sabbath tonight was confirmation that I'm going down the right path with getting that degree though I agree tell me what I can

do to help make making that decision easier she Smiled and licked her lips swaying softly in her seat to the music that's kind of you to even offer it's really just a matter of time management I think I'd only have to take night classes which is good and bad I could still work by day and do that by night so that would leave my weekends for auctions and research you and Papa would be prioritized I just don't know how I can do it all well you don't have to come to the Office daily you also

won't have class daily so maybe you could go to work and school on the same days throughout the week that way your free days would truly be free and if you want to keep your weekends open for me and your grandfather you could do auctions and research on your free weekdays I wanted to tell her if we moved in together that would also give us more time I'd still Court her and take her out but I wanted her as as much as I could have her Keeping that to myself I figured that part of our

relationship would progress I'd lead us but I didn't want move her too fast that sounds like a good idea but I don't want you thinking you can replace me no matter what I do I really do love working with you chuckling I lifted my French Connection to my lips I don't think I could ever replace you chai professionally or personally we make it work that seemed to satisfy her nerves the conversation topic shifted From one thing to another we found ourselves back on the Dance Floor feeling her ass against me had my poking her if

you keep grinding on me like that I'm going to take you to one of these bathrooms and put this in you she smiled and wrapped her arm around my neck holding me close I groaned when she started twerking against me arching her back slightly you have to wait until we get home but I'm going to tease you all night long is that a game you really Want to play I asked gripping her asked before giving it a smack that made her gasp and moan my free hand was on her waist but I lowered it between

her thighs I didn't give it if we weren't the only ones on this dance floor when it came to Cheyenne Taylor it was only her and I okay Cheyenne turned in my arms enough of that I laughed and palmed her ass with both hands rocking her against me I still got a wait before she could Respond I lower my myself and slid my tongue inside of her mouth for a deep nasty kiss when she moaned against my lips I pulled away you're going to have me dripping down my legs soon I'm not wearing any panties

baby I thought you had on a thong that is not the visual I need right now if you want me to wait her laugh was the sweetest Melody it often was as she tugged me toward our table let's just talk until our food arrives before this gets too dangerous And that's what we did we talked and enjoyed ourselves until our dinner came then we ate and I paid the check quicker than I ever had we headed out and silence consumed us truthfully there was no space for words in the back of the car the sexual

tension was far too thick her legs kept opening and closing and my had become painfully hard by the time we made it to repent house I had a pre I didn't too quick well thank you for a wonderful evening she teased because There was no way in she thought I wasn't following her inside yon know why you playing like I'm not about to be in this house and in that she laughed as I unlocked the door it's late Mr Jones shouldn't you be getting home to get some rest my hands caressed her hips then moved

up to her waist her breath hitched when I pulled her into my body I lower myself to her ear losing all Pride when I almost hummed please ba Cheyenne weakened against me I held her tighter You asked me to wait and I did like such a good boy her hands went to my chest as I kissed the corner of her mouth then her lips like your good boy then her ear shyen whimpered against my lips before sucking my bottom lip into her mouth and kissing me deeply once my breathing was regulated and I stopped throbbing

I began to stroke her against the door each time she moaned or called my name it drove me insane I lifted her off the door and held her in the air smacking Her body against mine I kept that up until she squirted against me before carrying her to the couch because the bed was much too far away at that point we were able to slow down enough to undress completely but the moment our clothes were discarded I was making my way back inside of her again her legs trembled as she scooted up on the couch

don't chei me chai I know that's not all you got open those legs and give me one more okay make me she challenged Spreading her legs wider and wrapping her arms around me I love when you listen and do as I say I want you for my reward amm you gone get it quicker than I want you to talking like that her laughing and Contracting only made it worse but I kept my control and continued to make love to her until we both were too drained for anything more number 20 Cheyenne I couldn't take my

eyes off Chandler as he rested peacefully the sun had just started to Rise and there wasn't a more beautiful sight than its Rays on his face I was head over heels in love with this man and it felt too soon maybe I'd always been in love with him and finally felt comfortable enough to let it flow through my mind and heart his eyes slowly opened and I felt like a creep because he caught me staring down at him as he slept it didn't make me look away though we mirrored each other's Smiles Chandler's hand went

to the back of my Neck he pulled me down to his lips and pecked mine three times before releasing me good morning beautiful do you want to meet Papa I blurred it before I lost the courage to his head tilted and eyebrows wrinkled as he processed my words right now only if you want to Chandler pushed me off him causing me to fall back onto the bed I laughed as he hopped out of bed what are you doing Chandler I can't meet my future grandfather in-law wearing last night's clothes my eyes Rolled as my laughter

died down but his excitement made my Heart Light I knew he'd been waiting for this moment for a while so I got why he was so ready to go I didn't mean this exact moment babe it's still super early I don't care I just want to be ready to go before you change your mind on my knees I scooted it to the edge of the bed and tugged him in my direction by a belt loop on his pants as he zipped them kissed his chest I'm not going to change my mind I Promise tandler kissed

my forehead then my lips all right I'm still going to go and get dressed how about breakfast before we go to see him that sounds good okay I'll be back shortly a smile covered my face as he grabbed the rest of his things and left this was a big step for me but I was confident it was the right one after breakfast h Chandler's fingers tapped his thigh as we entered Papa's neighborhood if I could see inside his brain I bet I would Find turning Wheels there was no doubt in my mind that he knew

the history of this neighborhood but still I asked what's on your mind this neighborhood is hard to get into to he started looking over at me briefly not only are the houses millions of dollars but it's extremely exclusive they won't let just anyone with money live here the vetting process is extensive that's true your grandfather is either very wealthy and prolific in the entrepreneurial world or He's into politics which one is it pride had me smiling and cupping my hands in my lap papa is very prolific he is an entrepreneur I'll be more surprised that

you don't recognize him than if you do hm he repeated and I giggled he was determined to figure this out on his own instead of just waiting how old is he is he a millionaire or billionaire if he's a billionaire it's only one of two options really just one there are two billionaires in the hills for green and Robert Lang Robert's family lives the typical socialite lifestyle so it can't be him it's either Port green or a man on his way to becoming a billionaire but not quite there yet it can't be green though why

don't you think it would be green as we pulled into the driveway Chandler eyed me is it why don't you think it's him I'm just curious and want you to continue your deductive reasoning I did my thesis on him he's my inspiration I mentored at his company From my research on him his family tree was public if I saw you on it I'd remember I didn't respond right away I waited until we were at the front door to say babe you remember I changed my name right he looked down at me skeptically I made my

mom's middle name my last name that's why you couldn't find any information on me what was your last name he asked as I rang the doorbell I remained silent feeling like I was about to burst knowing he admire Papa made this even better Cheyenne yes what was your last name as the door unlocked I told him green Papa opened the door as Chandler said knowing way his eyes shifted from me to Papa who looked at us both in Amusement Cheyenne your grandfather is the port green yeah the men shook hands as Chandler said sir I

love your granddaughter but I love you a little more you're my idol from a business standpoint you're my blueprint wow it's truly an honor to be in your Presence Papa chuckled as he pulled Chandler in for a hug but I was stuck on him saying he loved me it's an honor to meet you too Mr Jones I've done my research on you and from what I've heard you're well on your way to not just getting where I am but to surpass me as well I have waited to meet you since my granddaughter told me she

started working for you it always fills me with pride to see a young black man Making Waves legally and building a legacy for His family I'm hurt that she didn't tell me you were you Chandler said as they walked into the house and left me at the door I mean I get her hesitation because of who you are but Jesus Christ it's like I'm meeting Michael Jackson Papa's hearty laughter bounced against the walls and I knew he was just eating this up with a wide spoon chuckling I closed and locked the door behind me I

didn't even bother following them because their little Bromance was enough to make me Gag it was cute though I couldn't lie I didn't think I'd ever get to see Chandler in such a childlike state but I was happy he was finally able to meet someone he admired so much I let them have their time before joining them by the time I did they were talking about sports that somehow led to business music and politics then they were on to family and our relationship at that point I cut into to say y'all are just best friends

already and have completely Forgotten about me Chandler walked over to me and gave me a kiss on the forehead I could never forget about you beautiful good answer Papa replied beaming we talked for a while more and ended the day with them agreeing to play golf that weekend they asked if I wanted to come but I told them to have at it as Chandler and I prepare to leave Papa asked to speak with me privately when we made it to his study I said Yes Papa he comes from a good family and he seems Like

a good man does he make you happy he does can I trust him with you you can and you both are on the same page with where you want this to go we are good then you have my blessing go forth and don't let anything stand in the way of your Pursuit Of Love and Happiness with that Charming young man having Papa's approval was like the final piece of confirmation I needed that choosing to be with Chandler was the right choice to make later that evening by the time we Made it back to my penthouse

Chandler was seemingly coming down from his high of meeting the port Green in his words I was happy that my two favorite guys hit it off and were like two peas in a pod I'm going to walk you up then I need to head to my place to get some files how do you want to do our sleeping Arrangements tonight he asked with a shrug I leaned against the elevator wall doesn't matter his head tilted as he looked from my toes to the top of my Head come here Cheyenne I took slow small steps in

his direction as he hit the button to stop the elevator yes his arms wrapped around me thank you for trusting me enough to introduce me to your grandfather I think we're going to have a great relationship but I want to remind you that I'm not with you for him I'm with you for you I nodded head bowing briefly his fingers on my chin lifted it the only time I see you Dim your light is when it comes to your past I made a joke earlier that I probably shouldn't have what was that that I loved

you but I loved him more we shared a quiet chuckle before I nibbled on my cheek yeah I knew you were just playing but it kind of did Sting that was a me thing though so I wasn't going to mention it I was joking when I said I loved him more he paused placing a sweet kiss to my lips I've never loved anyone more than I love you his statement caught me so off guard my exhale was Vocal as I gripped his forearms wait I'm in love with you I've loved you since the moment I

laid eyes on you I've been single since we met because when you came into my life there was only room in my heart for you so yes I have admired your grandfather for his business tactics and ethics but he changes nothing when it comes to you for me I'm with you because of you and I am so happy and in love with you the pads of his thumbs wiped away my tears we were So in sync it was scary just this morning I questioned if it was too soon for me to feel the way I

did but he was right this wasn't new this had been brewing since the day we met I'm in love with you too thank you for saying this babe I can't tell you how much I needed to hear all of it I have no problem reminding you that I'm with you for you but I plan on showing you every day with my actions for as long as you'll let me he had no Idea now that I knew I was safe with him and that my grandfather approved you wouldn't ever be able to get rid of me

number 21 one week later Chandler shyenne really a SE a breathy squeak as i w wrapped my arms around her and carried her to my office pressing her against the door I locked it then kissed her until I felt light-headed as I stared down at her I watched her come down from the clouds of our kiss her eyes fluttered open as she licked her Lips I saw your bags in your office good girl she smiled and toyed with a button on my shirt I've been looking forward spending the night at your place since the night

before last it's more more fun than mine I smiled before kissing her again her Penthouse was Modern an aesthetic artsy and relaxing mine had been a true bachelor pad I turned my free rooms into a game room music themed lounge and Cinema room for entertaining there was no home office since I was Strict about not taking work home on the off chance I needed to do something after hours the office wasn't too far away babe she CED against my lips we really shouldn't be doing this at work who's going to stop us I'm the boss

I kissed away her moan as her hands lifted to my neck but HR they only need to be notified we have a meeting with them in 15 minutes so you just thought of everything huh when it comes to you I leave no stone unturned I like the way You take care of me good because I like taking care of you and I like taking care of you so don't forget after this impromptu to meeting with HR that you have two business calls also Nathaniel Lexington is in the conference room his check cleared but he's having

second thoughts would you like for me to stall him until you can speak with him or shall I tell him to schedule an actual appointment with a sigh I ran my hand down the back of my head as I put space Between us so much for me feeling up my woman for the next 15 minutes until we went to see HR I'll talk to him do we have the introductory meeting and walkthr setup for his business yet yes I scheduled both this morning I think someone reached out to him about it and that's why he's

here I agree all right I'll go talk to him in the meantime let's move that meeting up if we can yes sir anything else the two business calls I have later see if you can get them Rescheduled as lunch at the Country Club I may have forgotten about them and scheduled a round of golf with pops she ch L as her eyes rolled before giving me a quick kiss on the cheek and heading out I was hoping things wouldn't change between us at the office when we made things official and they hadn't thankfully not in

a bad way at least if anything we were more in sync and things were better later that evening how does that work Drew asked you spend one night At her place and she's at yours the next for the most part or I'll spend two nights at hers then she's at mine for two nights haven't taken a break I chuckled he was truly trying to figure out how we were spending so much time with each other and I could respect that Drew was the kind of person who couldn't be around the same person for days on

end which was why he was convinced he'd never get married or be in a serious relationship I was sure the right woman Would change that perspective but she didn't I was glad he was honest and upfront with women about what he wanted and what he had to offer it's all gas with Cheyenne no breaks I've been waiting for this woman for 2 years years you'd better well believe I'm spending every second with her that I can yeah but you all work together too you telling me you really don't get tired of her now I'm not

going to make it seem like we're together all day every day Because we're not we work together but we're not in the same space for 8 hours a day or more sometimes she works from home and sometimes I'm not at the office we still maintain our personal lives she does her thing with her grand father and her girls and I do my thing with family and friends too but do we sleep together every night now yes and I wouldn't have it any other way I guess he said before releasing a low whistle I know that's

not what you called me for though so What's up Cheyenne and I are going to have a little get together this weekend you should come will Selena be there I heard the smile in his voice and it made me laugh she's my girl's favorite cousin so I'm sure she will be yeah say less I'll be there just tell me what time and what to bring we continue to talk for a few minutes more before we ended the call it was perfect timing because Cheyenne was finishing up a call too mm it smells so good in

here that teid Candle is going to do it for me every time speaking of which I pulled my wallet out and handed her my black card anything you want to add or change around here so you'll feel more comfortable and at home do that she eyed the card skeptically for a while before shaking her head I don't want to change your space I don't care about that I want you to be comfortable here so whatever you want to do do are you sure she asked finally taking the card I'm Positive she clapped once and rocked

from one foot to the other with a smile okay I won't go overboard I promise maybe just add a touch of lavender in the bedroom since that's my favorite color nothing too crazy maybe just a throw and some plants in there and the main rooms ooh and we need to get more art on your walls I laughed as she started going from one room to another talking about what she wanted to do by the time she was done she told me I Could make changes at her place too which prompted me to ask are we

staying in a penthouse until we have children Cheyenne sat on my lap in cinema and wrapped her arms around my neck I love staying in a highrise I know it probably won't be convenient when we have kids since there are no school districts in this area yeah that's true however working in the business district allows us to register our kids at the private school over in Livy so if we Wanted to stay here we could why don't we just wait until the first one is about 4 to decide I don't see myself wanting to leave

this neighborhood anytime soon I agree I want you to have my babies but but not anytime soon I know we talked about this briefly in Sri Lanka but I want to reiterate that I want you to myself for quite a while I'm 34 and you're 36 that feels like we need to start soon but I agree I know the older I get there's a chance it may be Harder on my body or more difficult to conceive but I want to wait at least four more years that's actually perfect baby after we're married we can take

the necessary precautions in case we decide we want to wait later or you decide you don't want to put that risk on your body her mouth opened partially and head tilted you mean like freezing some of my eggs yeah if we get so busy with our love and our life that we lose track of time or if you just don't want to risk It we can always use a surrogate her eyes fluttered Softly As she smiled it's funny that you say that because there are so many horror stories about black women not being heard and

prioritized during their pregnancy and delivery that I've honestly been scared to Bear a child knowing that you wouldn't expect me to carry our baby is a refreshing thing to learn I don't care how our babies get here as long as I have them with you but I can assure you if you were to risk your health and share your body with our baby I'd get you the best care possible you wouldn't have to stress and worry about a thing she clicked her tongue before kissing my lips every day you say or do something that makes

me love and respect you a little more I'm so glad you saw my my worth an hour potential and waited for me cupping the back of her neck I reconnected her lips with mine I had a lot to be proud of and my Life was already good but having this relationship with cheyen now was like the icing on an already decadent cake number 22 Cheyenne the evening had gone as well as I hoped it would though Chandler insisted I didn't have to I want to take him out for a change I may have planned things

that work but when it came to our relationship Chandler always took the lead he planned all our dates and paid for everything and though I appreciated that I wanted to do Something special for him the fact that he was so adamant about me being the only thing he wanted and needed made me even more willing to do and give him whatever I could I started the day by gifting him with the new set of golf clubs we went to his favorite brunch spot to grab a bite to eat before going to create which was this

super cute art studio where you could make your own candles pottery and flower arrangements to get to it you had to ride a gondola Across The Lazy River which we both enjoyed after that we went back to his place and took a nap before getting dressed for drinks and dinner I purposely scheduled an early dinner so we wouldn't miss the main part of the date which was a luxury car show it was being hosted by Cade and he only had them two times out of the Year thankfully I'd used his sister lay for some legal

work in the past and she was able to connect me with him so he could Squeeze Us in Chandler was a sight to behold dressed in all white puffing on his cigar it was taking everything in me not to rush through the evening so I could have him in my bed his sexual appetite was insatiable and I was loving every moment of it this was the first relationship I'd ever been in where I had sex once sometimes two or three times a day everything about what I had with Chandler was fun and exciting but most

of all it was safe I trusted this Man and that meant more to me than anything I was glad I got to show him that through my actions today you good Chandler checked as the music began to fade yes you he nodded before placing a kiss on the corner of my mouth I've had an amazing day chai thank you baby you're welcome I'm glad you've enjoyed yourself but the night isn't over yet what else I get chuckling I pmed his chest as he wrapped his arms around me yes but that's not all listen up placing

Me in front of him and keeping his arms wrapped around me Chandler took another puff of his cigar before setting it in the ashtray on top of the high top table the Showcase of several different luxury cars was over and now it was time to open the floor for purchase is after that a few guys were going to go to the countryside of the hills to race on the dirt roads but I hadn't planned for us to go to that this is cool as hell Chandler whispered against my ear before Kissing it I might have

to leave up out of here with something I didn't know we'd be able to buy the cars that were in the Showcase I was so excited I couldn't even respond all right y'all we're about to start the bding before we do I'd like to announce three owners that have already secured their cars for the evening he paused and opened the envelope that was on the stand in front of him for Jackson will be driving home in a new Bentley Flying Spur come get Your keys man everyone clapped as Forest made his way up next up

we have Tristan Samuels come get the keys to your new Ferrari Roma I bit down on my bottom lip to keep from squealing in anticipation and finally we have a gift from Cheyenne Taylor to Chandler Jones Chandler come get the keys to your new Aston Martin DBS Coupe I turned slightly and clapped as he looked around the room it was like it took him a second to fully process what he'd heard his neck jerked and Bulged as the grip he had around me tightened what did he say go get your keys babe my keys mhm

giggling I stepped out of his Embrace and gently nudged him toward the stage go on Cheyenne I know you didn't buy me a car I did baby no I can't let you spend that kind of money on me you think I care about that as good as you've been to me you deserve this and more now go get your key so they can start the auction his eyes watered and head shook as he headed Toward the stage I took a few pictures before putting my phone away to truly bask in this moment the second he

was close enough Chandler pulled me into his arms for a kiss that made my pulse and heart race I want to give you the money back for this but I know you won't take it so I'll just say thank you so much no woman has ever done something like this for me the date or the car I'm used to always being the one who is sentimental and doing grand gestures thank you Beautiful I love you after catching the lone tear that tried to slide down his cheek I kissed him sweetly I love you too come

on let's get the car so we can get out of here and I can thank you properly H sounds good to me the next morning with a Gran I pushed Chandler's forehead away as he kissed my neck we hadn't gone to sleep until the sun started to rise and I felt like that was just minutes ago he wore my out last night to show me his appreciation if That was what I got for getting him a car I'd get him material things more often still I was a little sore and too tired to go another

round babe I'm sleepy I whed I know but you need to get up why you and Selena need to head to the air strip for your flight I already called her from your phone she's waiting on you that caused my eyes to pop open he smiled as he rubbed my stomach where are we going New York Atlanta and Paris sitting up I wiped my eyes hm did you Really think I was going to let you gift me a wonderful date and car and not do something in exchange kendler that's not I believe in reciprocity you

made me so happy last night and I want to do the same for you today let me please how could I resist nodding my agreement I smiled okay good now I'm not about to be shopping for days with you so Selena is going in my stud she can have whatever she'd like too there is no limit get up and get dressed and packed the jet Leaves for New York in 3 hours wait I need a limit I told him as he stood from the side of the bed to walk away you can't send me to

shoping capitals with Selena and tell me there's no limit Chandler licked his lips and smiled before giving me a kiss did you forget who your man is I said No Limit I didn't need to hear another word briskly I climbed out of bed and headed to the bathroom Lord this was going to be fun number 23 1 month later Cheyenne it was My turn to host our crew I didn't plan to cook or clean which allowed me to be full of energy to host the Gathering when everyone arrived Laguna the private Chef created the perfect

mix of party foods to keep everyone satisfied Jack and Mia had come through providing the wine and whiskey Drew had brought enough weed and gummies for anyone who wanted to indulge and I was too tickled at the sight of him and Selena in a corner in their own world all in all we'd had a Great turnout hey love Amy said taking my hands into hers I'm going to go ahead and head out are you sure yeah the babies act like they can't go to sleep unless I tuck them in oh okay I'll see you in

the office Monday see you then we hugged briefly before she headed out allowing me to return to the beautiful view of the city Rose Valley Hills was the perfect environment to me it was nestled between the bigger City Memphis and small toown Jasper Lane with its Beach Arts District and Lively downtown area the hills had quickly become an escape for those seeking a fun getaway most of our population was black and we had a lot of wealth circulating there was also the secret society but since Papa decided not to be a part of it I

never cared enough to learn too much about that canler made his way next to me his eyes were red and low from the weat he'd ingested he didn't smoke often but when when he did I was in for the Slowest most mindblowing night of Love Making in my life it made him even nastier too I'm staying here tonight he said laying his head on my shoulder massaging his beard I nodded my agreement I figured you'd say that that's why I didn't pack a bag to go back home with you I'm cool with us going back

and forth since we live so close but the back and forth is getting played out what are you saying he lifted his head to look at me I'm saying I Don't care whose Penthouse it is I want us to live together you don't think it's too soon not at all we literally sleep together every night what's the difference running my fingers through my hair I looked out into the night sky I guess there isn't much of one that would just be another big step Chandler took my hand into his one that we don't have to

take if you're not ready I can wait until you are I considered his words I didn't mind moving in with him because He was right we have been spending every night together since we came back from Sri Lanka at this point we had closets at each other's pen houses the only difference was we still had our own spaces to go to if and when we wanted and I wasn't sure I was ready to give that up just yet I did want to stay in RV Heights originally but I think I want us to still keep

both what do you have in mind suing one my head shook I want us to still keep it for ourselves with How you have yours set up I can admit it's more equipped for fun and entertaining mine is warmer and homier I feel more comfortable and at peace here so maybe we could simply redecorate both and repurpose one I see and like where you're going with this it will also allow us to entertain without having people in our space two or three weekends out of the month exactly since mine is already set up with the

game room and stuff we can make that where we Go to have fun and entertain when you're ready I'll move in here and start paying the bills I meant it when I said I was going to take over with that okay I like the sound of that good he pecked my lips just let me know when you're ready for the transition a part of me wanted to tell him I was ready the other part of me was glad he wanted to wait for me I was confident we'd be together forever but there was still that

part of me that couldn't believe this was my life my Relationship that part of me that wanted to take things slow in case things went wrong but that was fear and I'd never operated out of fear I was determined not to start now that I was in the best relationship of my life the following Wednesday Chandler and I had taken Papa to the view for lunch since it was one of his favorite restaurants I was happy with how their relationship had progressed their bond was genuine and now that I was spending time with them Both

I saw even more similarities I must admit I had an ulterior motive for this lunch Chandler admitted what is it Papa asked looking between us I know you take care of Cheyenne's expenses but I'd like to relieve you of that responsibility Papa sat back and got a bit more comfortable in his seat a slow smile curved his lips My Belle is not a cheap woman Chandler I know you have the means to provide but having it and wanting to spend it are two different things many Wealthy men have have gotten there because they are stingy

L has personal stylists for her hair makeup and clothes that I pay a yearly salary she has a nail technici as well along with a travel agent not to mention her chauffeur subscription personal chef housekeeper and accountant that's just the expenses I can think of off top of my head I spend about a million dollars a year on her including a sixf figure allowance she receives monthly with that Cocky chuckle I'd grown to love Chandler wrapped his arm around the back of my seat 1 million a year that's all I know the kind of woman

Cheyenne is and the lifestyle she's accustomed to I promise you I will not take her from you and not be able to provide better Papa sat up in his seat extending his hand in Chandler's direction for him to shake I'll have my accountant reach out and he will go over the process of switching everything over thank you sir and thank You for trusting me with your granddaughter Chandler excused himself leaving me and Papa alone he was looking at me with a goofy smile that made me chuckle why are you looking at me like that Papa

I'm just happy that you found someone who looks at you after you and treats you the Way Chandler does I believe he really does love you I love him too heum squeezing the back of my neck I look toward the ocean he wants us to move in together but I want to wait For what my eyes returned to his are you waiting for marriage not necessarily I know we're going to get married so it's not that then what is it I Shrugged finding it difficult to articulate the fear I was working through still I knew

eventually that I would agree but there was still a bit of resistance perhaps as an act of self-preservation while I wished all things were easy with Chandler sometimes them or him being too good actually made things hard I'm just Scared Papa I went from thinking there was a chance I'd never marry or have kids being with a man that offers both sometimes it feels unreal I I see he reclined further in his seat that's how you know you found the one that's how it was with your grandmother and I God Rest her soul things were

so good and easy with her I found myself trying to mess things up just to prove she was real now don't get me wrong we had our disagreements and issues but they never Outweigh the good and the peace and we were always Partners against the problem instead of each other I almost lost her waiting for things to get bad between us I'm just grateful I wised up and realized she was a gift from God and what we had was very much real yeah that's what I've been struggling with hearing that makes me feel better and

safer making that move thank you for sharing that with me Papa always fell no I'm not saying do anything you're not Ready for but if you are don't let fear stand in your way even if things don't last forever take full advantage of the beauty you have with him right now you'll regret it if you don't he took a sip of his tea as Chandler returned to the table he dropped a kiss to the top of my head before taking his seat what did I miss Chandler asked before I could respond Papa said my bell

was telling me you two are moving in together Chandler's perplexed expression tickled Me his brows were wrinkled as he stared at me briefly are you you sure he asked looking from me to Papa then back to me there's no rush beautiful I told you I can wait I took his hands into mine under the table I'm sure babe life is short I want to make the most of every day we have together now I expect you to take care of my bell beyond the money Papa said gaining Chandler's attention Treat Her Right respect her value

her love her prioritize her marry her and Give me great grandbabies Chandler smiled nodding his head yes sir I give you my word that I will do all that and more good then let's get a bottle of champagne to celebrate as he subtly waved our waiter over all I could do was shake my head grateful that this was truly my life number 24 that weekend Chandler my arm was wrapped around Cheyenne as we watched my parents and her grandfather talk I didn't have a doubt they would get along well but Seeing in person made us

both happy mama had taken Cheyenne on as her daughter the second I told them we were together and Pops had already started putting money in a separate account for the wedding and our kids education regardless of how they or her grandfather felt I was going to be with Cheyenne but knowing we had their approval and seeing how well they got along made what we shared even better oh Cheyenne muttered dropping her arm from Around me what's wrong I asked keeping my eyes trained on the man heading in her grandfather's Direction that's dric Graham he's an

ex did y'all end things on good terms her head shook as she licked the corner of her mouth no chuckling absently Cheyenne wiped her hands down her already smooth dress he was only with me to get close to Papa When papa hired him he broke up with me which in turn caused Papa to fire him dedric ended up trying to sue papa for Wrongful termination thankfully I had him admit to being with me just for the job on a recording which constituted determination Papa has a very strict moral clause and using me for the position

fell under lacking Integrity I could tell by Port stance he wasn't trying to hear what dedric had to say he'd also shifted slightly blocking his view of us which led me to believe he like I didn't want this to engage with Cheyenne if he tried I didn't have A problem knocking his ass out it wouldn't be the first time I'd have Bloody clothes and bruised Knuckles defending her and I didn't care if it wouldn't be the last you want to get out of here I don't want him to ruin our day I said please but

before we could leave dedric spotted us he made his way over to us and the smug grin on his face let me know what type of time he was going to be on gently I pushed her behind me as he stepped in our space it's good to See you again Cheyenne he said looking around me to her his tongue rolled over his teeth as he looked at me she's on you now why do I not find it hard to believe two stuck up as Rich families about to become one she's on me I'm in her

however you want to describe it She's Mine chuckling dedric ran his fingers down the corners of his mouth I find it funny that you wanted to hide me yet you're with him and out in public no less so much for you not wanting people To know who you are and where you come from it took me a Holan year with you to even get in the same room as your grandfather but this my fist in his mouth silenced him he stumbled back as part of his tooth flew out of his mouth instantly blood began to

pour buttoning my suit jacket I stood over him and said you will not talk to her now or ever and you for sure will not disrespect her do you understand me Chandler momy yelled rushing over as quickly as her heels Would allow the boy is fine pop said Port remained silent as he grinned he gripped my shoulder and gave it a firm squeeze nodding his head in approval I guess the embarrassment of the situation was why dric shuffled to his feet and quickly left the room I turned to face Cheyenne whose eyes were trained on

him as he fled you good I checked grabbing her chin and pulling her eyes to me Chandler you really didn't have to let the man protect you and stand up for Your honor Port Said cutting her off off with a sigh Cheyenne ran her fingers through her hair are you good I repeated to which she nodded why yes I'm fine thank you I nodded and took her hand into mine I hate for our afternoon to end like this but I'm going to get her home we'll see yall later we all exchanged hugs before I let

her out hoping dedric was still outside the ride home was silent she didn't say it but I felt like she was upset with me though I Didn't know why Cheyenne was out of her mind if she thought I was going to let anyone disrespect her when we arrived I had my driver to park between both complexes figuring she'd want to be alone do you want me to walk you up I asked she looked over at me with a pout you're not coming up I held back my smile I wasn't sure you'd want me to you

seem upset so I wanted to give you space I'm not upset with you I'm upset with the situation upset that I had to even See his face I know we can't control who shows up in public places but tell me what I can do to keep you from being affected by it she huffed and looked out of the window you mean other than hitting anyone who disrespects me besides that I saw her cheek lift from her smile I didn't want you getting out of character because of me but I really do appreciate you sticking up

for me babe it's my character to protect the woman I love and I'll do that however I Need to her head slowly turned in my direction come up with me okay I told Stan he could call it a night after we got out I had a feeling we'd be spending the rest of the evening in bed she seemed a bit lighter now but in case it wasn't easy for her to shake seeing dedric I wanted to make sure I'd be at her disposal 3 Days Later Cheyenne set the plate filled with various breakfast foods in

front of me as I sat at the island enjoy she placed a kiss to my Lips that I was too distracted to fully return what's wrong I didn't want to tell her but I knew I had to running my hand over my face I set my phone on the island we should eat before I tell you oh that bad not to me but it may be to you okay she agreed and I was glad she listened to me I didn't want the news to ruin us enjoying the breakfast she prepared especially since she didn't cook

often I smile smiled as I thought back to a conversation we had when we'd First come back home from Sri Lanka and confirmed our commitment to each other should we discuss your expectations of me I asked as we lay in bed her fingers were connected with mine and her head was in my lap as she gazed at the ceiling yes if you're ready to discuss your expectations of me you're already doing giving and being what I need Cheyenne chuckled you mean to tell me you don't have a list of things you want me to bring

to the table I released a bark of laughter baby I build the table and expect you to sit down and feast that's all she turned on her side to face me I want to make you as happy as you make me I want to give to you like you give to me there has to be more that you want than just me my fingers slipped through her hair as I leaned forward to kiss her you respect me and that matters above all you love me you trust me you submit to me you appreciate and support

me you don't deny Me of yourself and your presence you increase my peace and happiness and you influence me to be better that's what I need and that's what you've always given I can by myself literally anything I want but the ways you consider me are special I don't need you to cook and clean I pay people for that I love you for you and I'm with you for you so trust me when I say you're all I want and need she turned again again this time so that her face was facing my lap A

low groan escaped me when she pulled my semi out of my boxers and I definitely didn't mind our conversation taking a physical turn I can't believe you've cooked for me three times this week I said returning to the present Cheyenne smiled and shot me a wink you should feel special because I don't even cook for Papa this much we continued to talk and laugh and enjoy each other's company I hated that what I had to show her could potentially ruin her mood but I was really hoping it didn't okay what is it she asked emptying

our plates Drew sent me an article from now I ain't one to gossip oh her shoulders slouched immediately now I ain't one to gossip was an online blog that followed the black Elites secret society and the socialites of Rose Valley Hills I'd been mentioned it a couple of times over the years but never cared enough to read this however was different what does it say basically that you're Port Green's granddaughter and that you've been living under a rock with a changed name I assume dedric is behind us because it alludes to your dating life being

the reason for the secrecy yeah I guess he went to the Mount of ego and spite sighing Cheyenne washed and dried her hands how do you feel you've worked hard over the years to keep your life separate from your grandfather's and now that's over she waited until she was seated next to me To respond you know I thought that coming out would be the worst thing that could happen but I'm okay I have you and I know what we have is real that's what's most important to me I've always been proud of Papa and I'm

okay with people knowing who he is to me as long as we can continue to live a quiet life I'm good I pulled her from onto my lap I'm proud of you I'm going to make sure you have just that you're not going to go after him are you I laughed and Realizing she was serious made me laugh harder baby let ride Chandler it was a bitter and Petty move but we're above that he actually helped me out because he removed something I feared and showed me I could handle it if anything I should thank

him nah don't say to his ass I won't bother him about it since you're good but it's a rap for him and any other man in your past usually the sight of her beautiful smile would soften me but the thought of her Reaching out to him overpowered that and kept my heart hard look at you being all possessive and controlling her cackle finally made me crack a smile I see you want to play I'm just tickled by this side of you I like it though you weren't going to have a choice she rolled her eyes

and smiled harder as I kissed her I could tell the soft manner in which I loved and handled her could make her sometimes forget I was a man at the end of the day a black man at that I didn't Mind giving her a reminder whenever she needed it especially when it ended with her in my arms against my lips number 25 60 days later Chandler it took some time and dedication but Cheyenne and I were able to get the pen houses redecorated how we wanted as we discussed mine remained designed in a way that

would provide entertainment for us and our guests and hers maintained the homie style it originally had but we switched the color scheme so that it fit us both Originally it it was white cream and lavender now it was white and black with gold accents she had her own room that she filled with lavender since that was her favorite color and I took the extra room and made it black and brown since that was more my style the smile that was on her face as we exchang Keys had me just about willing to do anything to

make her smile like that daily when I first mentioned us moving in together I didn't think it would happen anytime Soon I wasn't sure what she talked to Port about but it had her just as excited about the transition as me we're really doing this she asked taking the key from my hand and placing hers inside we are is this still cool with you most definitely I'm not afraid of this of us anymore for so long I let people that hurt me in the past shape the way I lived and loved no more I gave

her a quick kiss and pulled her into my chest I'm so proud of you Cheyenne seriously I Wouldn't have got here without you thank you she returned her lips to mine for another kiss and as much as I didn't want to I pulled away if we keep this up I'm going to be inside of you you say that like it's a bad thing with a quiet laugh I released her it's never a bad thing but if we once spend our first evening living together like we said we can't get distracted you're right you're right okay

so grocery store candlelight dinner that we make together soaking in The bathtub and and then you get to come inside that sounds like the perfect plan to me when she turned I smacked her ass and she swatted me away which somehow led to me chasing her into our bedroom where we proceeded to have the ultimate tickle fight it was something I didn't think I'd ever do in my life but each time she erupted in laughter I wanted to do that corny asked more number 26 1 month later Cheyenne it was admin day at the office

which meant we had no Meetings or calls technically Chandler didn't have to come in today but he wanted to get caught up on some things I decided to start school online next fall to give myself time to adjust to my new relationship and schedule at work plus working alongside saath to build her art collection I tried to wait until I was done with school but she wanted my expertise now which meant a hell of a lot to me with my new schedule I had a day out of the week that I devoted to Art while

the remaining four days were spent at the office two days were full days and the others were half days in preparation for when I'd start school Chandler and I had a strict no working on weekends Rule and for him the weekend started on Friday his golf days were almost religious at this point and now Papa went with him along with my future father-in-law having a genuine relationship with his parents was a blessing it felt like a second chance to Have a mom and dad since mine weren't around I loved that Janet and Marcus were intentional

with making sure I knew they were my parents and that they wouldn't automatically side with their son if we came to them with issues I honestly didn't see that happening often because Chandler and I were good at communicating our issues but it felt good to know that'd have my back as I went through the last of the files for the day my curiosity peaked at the site Of one with ctj written on it I didn't want to assume Chandler had written that for shyen tiller Jones but that's what my intuition told me when I open

the file I had to sit because my knees wobbled it was a title indeed in his name and mine for an island a Caribbean island in the Bahamas the more I read the more I couldn't believe what I was seeing the $45 million Island was was 430 Acres it was mostly beaches with elevations and a natural Harbor there Was space for a golf course in Marina that it had already been approved for it could be used as a resort because it had five one-bedroom beach front Villas already built with wraparound decks along with the main

house that had three bedrooms there was also a building that operated as a Welcome Center along with the spa and gym in the center of the Villas was a restaurant and bar plus a small convenience store it was perfect absolutely perfect my legs and hands Should as I left my office and went to his Amy asked me was I okay and all I could do was nod I barged into his office not bothering to knock like I usually would there was a smile on his face as he talked on the phone but at the sight

of my Tears he frowned and immediately ended the call Chandler stood and charged in my direction who did it he asked ready to take on the world for me like always you I muttered with a smile wiping my eyes I don't Think I was supposed to find this but I handed him the file and his body Rel relax when realization settled in yeah this was supposed to be a surprise I'm finalizing things with the caretaker and I wanted to get the place fully staffed before I took you there and told you for a while all

I could do was stare at him he stood there casually talking about the island he bought me like it was nothing you bought me an island Chandler Shrugged with a nod yeah you like water In Islands so I figured I'd get you one sniffling I gritted my teeth trying to keep my tears from falling you can use it for personal use or we can turn it into a resort and just keep the main Villa for us or you if you don't want to share he chuckled and licked his lips it's yours to do with as

you please you bought me an island my head Shook and heart grew light thank you babe that certainly doesn't seem good enough I have to find a better way to thank you Those words are thanks enough I didn't do this for anything other than your happiness in return I know you're used to relying only on your papa but you're my responsibility now I take great pleasure in taking care of and spoiling you babe I CED wrapping my arms around his neck what did I do to deserve you the soft chuckle he released hit the center

of my heart and filled it with warmth you let me in our eyes remained locked before I turned and locked his Door then led him over to his desk what you doing he asked with a cocky Smile as I pushed him down into his chair about to please my man is that right mhm can I you know you never have to ask because he kept an extra suit at the office I didn't bother pulling his PS down all the way you trying to make me get loud in here he asked causing me to laugh as

he lifted my skirt you're the boss remember you're absolutely right I don't want you holding back on me all right I Nodded my agreement as I slid down on him moaning quietly from the satisfaction of us being one I knew this would be a quickie and that I needed to make the most of it so I took him in and rode him slow it's okay baby you don't have to be quiet he assured me before smacking my ass Chandler mhm what's my name I wrapped my arms around around him and held him close held him

tight as I came Chandler M that's it baby my wimers mixed with the sound of his moans as he Came as well having sex only intensified my feelings before I could stop them more tears started to fall did I hurt you he asked wiping my face laughing quietly I shook my head and sniffled no I'm just really happy Chandler like I've never been this happy in my life I love you so much you kissed my tears away before kissing my lips I love you too and trust me when I say this is literally just the

beginning for us number 27 oneyear anniversary Chandler Not too many things unnerved me but what I had planned for Cheyenne today did we were back in Sri Lanka after a trip to London I wanted to retrace our steps for our one-year anniversary time had been nothing but good to us our love was stronger than I thought it could be she was truly my lover my soulmate and my my best friend business was better than ever Cheyenne and I still had a healthy relationship at work she did won by a quarter on her own and my

love was Knocking them out of the park her work with Sabbath was still going strong The Collection she' curated for Sabbath last season had gotten her Gallery International recognition offers started to pour in immediately for Cheyenne's help and she answered willingly when and where she could she was set to start school next month and her CL classes would be online I loved her love for Learning and was prepared to pay for her to get a different degree in something At least twice a decade my investments in art and jewels were still going strong I dabbled

in real estate over the past few months and so far it had been worth the risk our family Bonds were strong and our friends were happy and healthy there's only one thing I could ask for and I hope to get the answer to that today I can't believe you actually brought me back here shy and said as we reached our destination it was the same waterfall we'd come to last year I am a Man of my word and I told you I'd bring you back to the place you said yes to me that's true she

agreed wrapping her arms around me things this time around had been perfect we got the superior Villa all of our excursions were booked and our family and friends were here for the occasion my eyes lifted and at the sight of Port walking over to us with my parents Selena Amy and Drew behind him I smiled you love me I asked of course you trust me more than anyone you want to be With me forever and even after that now that's why I like to hear Port Said and at the sound of his voice Cheyenne almost

jumped out of her skin she gasped and turned to face him before running into his arms pop what are you guys doing here I kneeled and pulled the 16 karat ass share cut diamond ring out of my pocket there was no way I'd miss this moment B one moment Port nodded in my direction Cheyenne turned and when she noticed me kneeling she shuffled back on Her feet and cover her mouth before I could utter a word her tears were falling I allowed port to console her for a while before I gently removed her from his

Embrace and told him I got her now he gave me a confident smile I know you do as I took her left hand into mine I returned to one knee I knew the moment you walked into my office that you were mine that we would get to this moment whether it took 2 years or 20 I was willing to wait for you because I knew Our love and life together would be worth it pausing I slid the ring onto her finger I love you so much baby and nothing would make me happier than being able

to call you my wife so Cheyenne Taylor will why yes she yelled hugging me tightly I stood so I could hold her correctly as she repeated her answer yes Chandler yes what I asked needing to hear her say it I will marry you as our loved ones and even strangers cheered us on I didn't Care about anything or anyone but the woman in my arms who had agreed to be my wife mm I moaned before covering her lips with mine you just made me the most blessed man on this Earth the end
