Taming Mr. CEO

Logan’s Point of View

“You’re burning your liver, dude,” Yuri, one of my friends commented as he sat beside me with a woman clinging on his bicep. “The last time we ask you to join us on bar hopping, you didn’t come with us. But look at you now, you look like a f*cking broken-hearted.”

“Just shut up, Yuri. Busy yourself with your woman and stop spoiling my peaceful time.” He shrugged off while I pour another shot of tequila on my glass.

I roamed my eyes around until it settled on the dance floor where lots of party girls are dancing-tuning with the beat of flirtatious music played by the DJ. When I once empty my glass, I decided to leave my seat and walked over to the bar counter where as soon as I took my seat, a brunette wearing a too sexy and expose dress approach me. She stands in front of me and I noticed how she intentionally leaned forward just so I could have a peek at her exposed cleavage.

Biting her lips, she laid her fingers on me. From my shoulder down to my chest then she smiles playfully. “Alone?” she asked, her eyes were seductively scanning my whole.

“Yes,” I answered before I glanced at the bartender and ordered another shot of tequila. “Have a seat and be my companion for the night,” I added, giving her the same stare she’s giving me.

We talked while we were drinking glass after glass of our liquor and when we both felt tired from talking, I stood up and grabbed her hand. We walked through the crowds until we reached the deep of the dance floor and then dance with the rhythm with no space between us. Her body is rubbing against mine but I don’t understand why I didn’t feel anything unlike before. Every time I am going to a party or go clubbing with a woman, I felt so alive and high. But now, this night is so different until I ended up walking out from the dance floor. The woman followed me and immediately cling her hands on my arm which made me suddenly distance myself from her.

Her brow twitched and stared at me in disbelief. “What’s your problem?” she asked, gone the pretty and seductive expression she has earlier. “You didn’t like that earlier? I thought you wanna have some fun that is why you entertained me.”

“Well, you thought it in the wrong way. So now, leave me alone.” Hands-on in my pocket, I walked back to the table where my friends are.

“Hey, who’s the brunette, Logan?” Yuri-still having a girl on his lap-asked.

“I don’t know,” I answered before taking a bottle of beer with me before I decided to leave the bar. I even heard Yuri asking if he can bed the brunette he is talking to. Who cares if he beds that woman? I don’t even know her name.

When I reach the parking lot, I emptied first the beer before I drive home which frustrates me at some point. I planned not to go home for this night so I could avoid Alice but here I am, seems like there were a string pulling me to go home. After driving home, the darkness welcomed me as I entered the house. The lights were all off so I have to tug my phone out of my pocket for a flashlight. As soon as I opened my phone, the screen shows that it was already eleven in the evening. I headed directly on the stairs and was about to take a step when a small amount of light flashed inside the kitchen. Curious about what it is, I walked over to the kitchen and saw the opened refrigerator as well as the figure standing in front of it. I bit my lips as I chose to watch Alice’s every movement as I am leaning against the door frame.

Damn! She’s in her pajamas but why does she look so sexy on them? And the way she drinks water, that neck of her that I suddenly wanted to lick seduces me. Darn this woman for doing this to me!

“Stop doing that!” I couldn’t take it anymore but to break the silence so she will stop drinking. “Stop showing your neck, Alice,” I added while her eyes are now on me with her mouth gape open.

“You’re late.” My lips twitched and started to walk over her.

“So what if I came home late?” I asked, towering her height. “Are you mad?” I saw her gulp before she steps backward. Annoyed by how she reacted, I immediately step forward and grabbed her waist making her lean against me.

“L–Logan… let me go…” she stuttered.

“Why would I?” With a grin, I leaned forward and couldn’t take it but to claim her lips. Her body instantly went rigid as I kiss her but later on, I slowly feel how she surrendered. I break the kiss, leaving her gasping for air. “You don’t avoid me this much, Alice… you don’t,” I said with a hard tone.

“You… you drink?” she asked, shock still registered on her face.

I chuckled. “Yes, I do. All because of you, Alice… all because of you.” I removed my arms around her waist and then walked away-leaving her alone in the kitchen.

After I reached my room, I dive into my bed with a grin on my lips. And as I closed my eyes, the image of me kissing her Alice flashed through my mind. Damn lips! It feels so good to feel her lips on mine.

“Mommy, will you drive me to school?” Aisle asked before taking a bite of her pancakes.

“I’ll drive you to school, baby,” I butt it but when Aisle looked at me, she instantly diverted her eyes to her mother. She still didn’t talk to me like usual and when she did, it seems like it was very hard for her. Since that night, Aisle becomes cold on me and it driving my nuts just like how her mother did to me last night.

Shame for me to admit but hell! It was my very first time jerking off as I think of a woman-imagining that ut would be her that I f*ck!

“Baby, are you still mad at Daddy?” I asked, showing her my saddened eyes. Damn, dude! It’s been two days of hell!

“You made my mommy cry, Daddy… you’re bad,” she silently replied that making Alice lift her gaze on me. She then turned to Aisle and then held up her little hand.

“Baby, Daddy and I were okay now. Don’t worry anymore, okay?” After Alice talked to our daughter, as if her voice were magic, Aisle treat me the way she treat me before.

“Thank you,” I said before stepping inside my office. When I glanced at Alice again when I took my seat, I saw her smiling but when she caught me staring, her smile faded. And I should be mad, right? Because she hides those precious smiles of her again but instead of being mad, her action seems like a childish one to me making me smile as well.

But when lunch came, my mood subsided. Lyndon, my brother, always has his shitty way to ruin my day. With a wide smile stretching his lips, I saw him enter the office and talk to Alice as if the woman he is talking to wasn’t his brother’s wife. Losing my patience, I drastically leave my seat and stepped outside which made the two look at me with their widened eyes.

“What’s with the surprised?” I ask sarcastically. “I am not allowed to hear your conversation with my brother, my wife?” I added, emphasizing the two last words.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

She shook her head as she concealed the surprise in her face. “Uh… of course, not. It’s just–”

“Can I borrow Alice, dude? We’re eating lunch at the cafeteria. You can join us.” Lyndon butted in, cutting Alice’s words.

I glanced at Lyndon before bringing back my eyes on Alice who was biting her bottom lips again. With a caustic stare, I am giving to her, I spoke, “Of course, you can borrow her but count me out, I have a lunch date today,” I lied before walking away without turning my back again even though I heard Lyndon shouting behind me. Scolding the hell out of me as if he was my mother.

“We just got into a bar last night, Logan. Why are we here again?” Yuri’s voice mixed with the loud music of the place. “Tell me, is there anything wrong?” he asked as soon as we took our table.

“There is,” I confessed. I then raised my hand to call the attention of the waiter for our drinks. When we already ordered, I again turned to Yuri. “So, listen, I have a wife but I didn’t know why she is flirting with my brother? It looks like she wants Lyndon rather than me ” I gritted my teeth but soon stop when Yuri burst out laughing while clutching his stomach.

“The heck? What’s funny?!” I frustratedly asked as I grabbed him on his collar.

He stopped laughing, but still, giggles are present, and it still annoyed me. “Wife? Are you serious?” he asked.

Letting him go drastically, I emptied my glass. “I am f*cking serious here, Yuri. What do you think?”

“Honestly, I think you’re already lost your memory. Logan Ivanov? The most sought bachelor of town is now married? Dude, I am not informed.”

“You’re not because you are too busy f*cking lots of women. But seriously, I am married, dude. If you still didn’t believe me, then check the internet.” And just like what I have said, Yuri immediately browse on his phone, and after a few minutes, he turned on me with awe in his eyes.

“What the f*cking hell?! It’s true, you’re not lying dude! Bullsh*t!” he cursed until we go deep on the topic.

“So you are telling me that your wife likes Lyndon rather than you and it drives you nuts?” I nodded. “But you also told me that you didn’t actually love this Alice, right?” I nodded again. “If that is the case, I guess you are lying to yourself, Logan.” It made me face him with brows twisted together.

“Lying? I am not–”

“Yes, you are,” Yuri cuts off. “Look, if you really don’t love her then tell me the reason why you are frustrated just because you think that she likes Lyndon rather than you?”

“Because it looks like she is not respecting me as her husband.” I brushed my hair with my fingers.

Yuri cackled and then drink his tequila. “You are falling for her, Logan… that’s it. You are just you, being so in denial about your feelings when the truth is, you already fell on this Alice. You’re mad because you are jealous, Logan. That’s the real reason why you have that burning resentment inside your heart. You couldn’t take it because the woman you love loves your brother.”

“Me? Love her?!” I shook my head. “You gotta be kidding me. Yeah, I like her but I didn’t love her. There is a big difference between like and love, Yuri.”

“Sooner or later, you will eat your words, dude.”

“I didn’t fell on her, Yuri, and I will prove you that.” I marched out, leaving him on the bar alone.
