The Carrero Effect - Falling for the Boss (Billionaire CEO)

He buckles me into the passenger seat of his car, leaning in to kiss me tenderly once more, his green eyes alive and twinkling. Jake can’t seem to stop kissing me and it’s not like I can complain, after a year of being crazy for him, I don’t want him to stop. I’ve not seen him this happy and carefree for a long time, since before the first time he ever kissed me.

Had I really been torturing him all that time?

My heart lurches at the thought as he closes my door and comes around to slide into his sleek powerful car in an effortlessly graceful maneuver.

“Your place for a change of clothing, I guess.” He runs his fingers down the thigh of my satin dress, his pupils dilating. “I forgot to tell you how amazing you look in this by the way. I practically passed out when I saw you.”

“You’re so easy.” I giggle watching his lips part as he raises his eyebrow and winks at me

“Can’t help it, bambino … You’re sex on legs, and this dress only emphasized that fact.” He throws me his killer smile and starts the car. “Maybe we’ll get a replay of making out on the bonnet sometime soon.” He tilts his head toward me with a raised eyebrow and I shake mine in response with an added eye roll, a smile breaking across my face.

Is this real? Is this really happening?

We’ve been together all morning, showered for a second time and managed to get clean that time, ate pancakes and bacon in bed and teased each other mercilessly. It’s so easy and natural, it feels like we’ve always been this way, devoid of awkwardness. All heartache forgotten, all the tension, fights, and stupid behavior. All of it had faded away as though we were never just boss and PA, or even just friends. It’s well after noon and we were only now getting out of his building.

“We can’t just hop on a jet to the Caribbean.” I point out since he hasn’t dropped this subject yet.

“I’m pretty sure we can. I own a plane and a boat and the company who employs you.” He pulls into traffic, the hum of his powerful car sending excitement through me, something about this car gives me thrills. I guess because it’s so him … Powerful, sexy, expensive … A thrill of a ride in that almost trademark black and the thought of it makes me redden.

“I hope whatever’s making you blush is something I’ve done in the past twelve hours, miele?” His hand comes to my thigh and he squeezes gently, his focus going quickly back to the road.
