"Jeez you're wrecking my morning schedule", Dean groans while slipping out of bed at the same time as me.

"You were the one who had me tied to the bed and an incredible endurance. It's not my fault we spent half the night doing other things than sleeping", I retort.

As a response Dean smacks my bare ass, just as I'm about to step into the bathroom, I flinch slightly due to my ass being a bit sore. In the long mirror I could see, his hand left marks on my skin.

"I'm sorry", he whispers over my shoulder. "Perhaps I was a little too excited last night, I shouldn't have been so rough. But it sure is your fault I had no sleep, as you're just too tempting."

"It's fine Dean, I told you that already last night. I'll have a little reminder today during work of what we did last night and which pleasures you gave me."

"Hmmm I can give you a small reminder of that right now", and I feel his dick harden, pressed against my stomach while he starts kissing me.

"We have to hurry", I remind him and push him away slightly.

"Hmmm give me ten minutes. I'm the boss and I'll take the full responsibility if we come too late." And he's already peppering soft kisses down my neck. His hands start fondeling my breasts and I know I can't resist.

Instead I reach out for his dick and start pumping him, with a little twist of my hand as soon as I reach the tip.

"Are you wet for me, Honey?", his deep husky voice asks me. He knows I am, as I always am for him. His fingers start playing me causing me to moan, while I'm kissing his neck. Slowly two fingers start thrusting into me and my free hand clenches into Dean's hair.

It doesn't take long until I'm pinned against the wall and Dean hoists me up in the air.

"So good", he groans while moving in.

I hold on to him for dear life, while he fucks me fast and hard against the shower wall. I love how he can be all varieties during sex, from ever so gentle over fast and hard up till like a wild beast.

Dean keeps his promise with the ten minutes. Heavy panting he sets me back down on my feet. I love to watch how his chest rises and falls rapidly from our passion, while the water flows down it. His hands cup my face. "I love you Kiara", he whispers against my lips and gives me another sweet soft kiss.

I don't even get the chance to say it decently in return because he starts rushing after it. Although he does take the time to rub, my ass, ankles and wrists with oil once more, just like last night.

Last night I let him tie my ankles for the first time, it was frustrating and pleasure at the same time. He had all the power over me, could decide when and how I would come. That was damn hot and I could see how turned on he was by the fact himself. He kept on repeating I'm his alone. It might sound possessive but, in that moment, I wanted him to be possessive. Wanted him to dominate me.

I could see the raw lust in his eyes, every time he made me come. But once we were finished and he saw the marks, I could also see how it pained him and regret took over. I don't want to see the regret in his eyes, the same regret I'm seeing right now too, while he's gently kissing my wrist.

"I'm not going to let you do that anymore, if you feel so bad about it the next day", I say while making him look in my eyes.

"Perhaps you shouldn't. It's fun, but I don't want to honestly hurt you."

"We both wanted it, I'm ok Dean, honestly. You're not beating me up, we're having rough sex which we both agreed to. Stop beating yourself for it."

"Am I a monster, that it turns me on doing this in between to you?", his voice is quiet and low.

"Am I a monster because I enjoy it when you spank me and tie me up? We talked about the limits. Jeez if we both enjoy this, there is nothing wrong about it. And for a change you can control me during that time", I give him a wink and chuckle lightly, easing the tension up.

"Yea that's about the only time I'm able to control you", he rolls his eyes. I know it's sometimes very frustrating for him on the other hand he loves this side of me too.

His eyes widen while I put my new red lace lingery on and a new red dress. "Damn how am I supposed to work if you're dressed so smoking hot. Any idea how tempting this is?"

"You'll be in your office and I'll be in mine. So that shouldn't be the issue."

"But I'll know you'll be right across from me."

"I'll come and visit you during lunch break then", I reply before leaving for the kitchen.

"Promise", he demands with a dirty smirk and I do.

Even if Dean has his usual breakfast, I've made sure to have some other things in the house. Today I go for some hot cross buns while drinking my macchiato. We really have to hurry now though.

I mean I got up early for what I'm used to, but Dean got up a lot later to what he is used to. Dean insists we take the car ride together now that we're official. Therefore I insist on driving. The look on his face tells me he isn't too happy about it when I grab his Porsche keys. But it's all about compromises, right? We're faster when I drive anyway.

In between Dean curses, but I can also see how he's enjoying the tiny adrenaline rush. "I should let you sit next to me during one race, sometime", I say with a smile.

"I thought it's too much extra weight?"

"Well if I lose it's your fault and you can pay my start price."

"Deal", Dean laughs.

"Damn no more fighting over the parking lot", I state once I've cut the engine off, causing Dean to shake his head but grin at the same time. I know deep down inside he loved that banter, well maybe not at first, but after a couple of days.

Walking down the hallways with our fingers intertwined, everyone is staring at us. We can hear the talking about the interview and all the photos but for once I try not to care. I'm simply happy and I know the important people know the truth.

Gina welcomes us with a huge smile. I'm about to turn to my office when Dean pulls me back.

"Don't I get a goodbye kiss?", he pouts.

"What, here?", not hiding the surprise in my voice, taking a look around.

Dean obviously doesn't care as he pulls me tight against him and kisses me on the spot. "I don't care who's watching, I kissed you in front of loads of cameras. Why do you think I would care here?" He gives me one more sweet soft kiss, before letting me go.

This weekend has changed so much and it seems like I'm living a dream right now. I'm so head over heels for this man, I'm missing him already and feel like walking across right away. A short while later Gina comes in, with a small gift box in her hand.

"Dean asked me to hand you this", she says with a smile and takes a seat at my desk.

Seems like she can't wait to see my reaction. I open the black ribbon on the red box, my eyes widen at the content. There's a wooden photo frame with a photo from Dean and me at the gala. It's one that was taken during dancing. Dean is looking down at me and our eyes are locked with each other, showing all the love in both our eyes.

"It's such a beautiful photo", Gina swoons. "Do you like it? Dean has the same for his desk. He ordered it immediately on saturday. Isn't that sweet?"

Ok, so Gina obviously wants some girlie talk. And although I know she has a slight crush on Dean herself I can see how happy she really is for us.

"It's beautiful I had no idea Dean had ordered it. And he has the same?", she nods and then she wants me to tell her all about the evening.

I give her a short cut version as I need to get down to work myself. But shortly after Gina left, Mr Arlington comes into my office. Immediately I tense up and stand up to greet him.

"Mr Arlington, good morning what an honour. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Kiara, please call me Brent. I just wanted to drop in and see how you are? Did you enjoy the gala? Gale was so excited about it, as you already know. After you left she talked about nothing else for the rest of the night. Guess she's going to buy every magazine she can spot you on today too", he chuckles. "Oh and then the photos Dean posted, they were gorgeous. I hope it's not too much trouble for you now with the paparazzi." I hear a little concern at the last part in his voice.

Right now I'm ever so surprised, never would I have imagined Mr.... I mean Brent, would ask me about it.

"It was a lovely evening. Dean was very surprised to see you have Insta", I chuckle and he joins in with a rough laugh.

"Gale says as a good CEO I need to be up to date, so she made me have it", both of us burst out into laughter about it.

"You fine otherwise?", I feel like someone has exchanged the world I'm living in. Suddenly there are loads of people around me, who seem to honestly be concerned about me. And my damn parents didn't even provide me food.

"Yes I think I can deal with the paparazzi, even if it's all a little weird for me."

"But I still hear some concern in your voice." Damn he's good. Is he super sensitive or something?

"It's more that I worry what everyone here will think. You know being with the boss", I sigh and my shoulders slack down slightly. It does still bother me more than I'd like to admit to myself.

"Don't care about them, they'll always find something to gossip about. You, Dean, Gale, I and even a few others, know the truth and that's all that counts. And if anyone harasses you too much and you don't feel like talking to Dean about it, come straight to me. Or talk to Gale, she'd be more than happy to be there for you, she really likes you. Seriously we're so happy to see Dean this happy. I think you two are good for each other."

His kind words have me gulping and I know I'm close to tearing up, but I manage to keep myself together and simply answer: "Thanks, that means an awful lot to me."

Shortly later he leaves my office with a huge smile and I finally get to dig into my work. I'm a bit shocked when my alarm sets off for the lunch break. I had extra set it, so I won't miss it and can spend it as promised with Dean.

I'm a bit surprised to see the window shades all let down. Maybe he was thinking ahead. Starting to walk over, Gina cuts me off.

"Dean doesn't want to be disturbed", she says while looking to the ground.

"It's ok, we have a lunch date", I answer a little confused.

"No, he meant by nobody, not even you. I'm sorry" she says and walks back to her desk, not once looking up at me. What the hell is wrong?

I can hear Dean's heated voice, but he is obviously trying to keep it down so I'm unable to understand a single word. There's another voice, a female one by the sounds of it. Another look across to Gina tells me something is off about this. She completely ignores me and doesn't dare to look up at me.

Maybe I did some mistake and Dean is dealing with a difficult business partner right now, trying to set things straight. But I can't help this feeling deep down inside, telling me there's more to this.

Instead I spend my lunch break alone in my office, with a sandwich I just quickly got from the cantine downstairs. During the entire break my eyes stare at Dean's door, through my glass wall. I'm hardly able to eat. Why do I feel so bad about this? I'm probably just being a drama queen right now. I mean he just confessed his love to me, in front of millions of people out there, I really shouldn't worry about him right now.

After the break I try to get my mind off things and start digging myself back into my work. A bit later in the afternoon I have to get a new box of paper, for my printer. Just as I'm coming back down the hall, I see Dean standing in front of his office. What catches my eyes even more though, is the woman who is just touching his arm. A very tall, slim, and gorgeous looking women, dressed extremely fancy and sexy. Her long platinum blond hair, cascading down her back and her face features like a model. A face I've seen often enough covering the magazines together with Dean's. Nadine's face.

Dean's back is slightly turned to me, so he doesn't see me coming.

"I'm glad we could sort some things out today. I'll see you tomorrow then Dean", the way she says his name sounds seductive. And a sly smile appears on her face, while she looks over to me and her hands land on his chest. "Hmm you've obviously worked out even more, I like it."

"Leave it Nadine", I hear Dean voice out quietly, but he doesn't take her hands away either. Why the fuck is he letting her touch him like that?

I rush into my office and slam the door behind me. Even if I had intended to actually sneak into my office, my feelings got the upper hand. Immediately I hear Dean curse: "Fuck!"

And a chuckle from Nadine, making me want to punch her perfect face.

Seconds later Dean enters my office, I don't dare look up at him I'm too hurt and angry. Of course I shouldn't jump to conclusions, but seeing her touch him like that and him not doing a thing about it, makes it hard.

I wouldn't let Brad touch me and Dean punched him for holding on to my wrist. Touching Dean's chest while standing so close, it looked intimate. And he wouldn't see me for our lunch date because of her.

"Say something Kar", Dean speaks up after a whole while. But I don't, as I don't know what to say or think right now. Shouldn't he be the one to say something, or better said explain something?

He stays silent. "I need to work", I grit out after what seems like ages.

"No, you need to talk to me now."

"I need to talk to you? I don't think I spent our lunch date with my ex or let myself be touched by that person. But you two have obviously worked some things out in the last couple of hours you spent together. So perhaps YOU want to talk? If not, please close the door behind you once you have left." My voice comes out far stronger and with more confidence than I feel.

"I'm sorry about our lunch date", seriously that's all what you have to say about all of this?

I turn back to my work without saying a word and try to at least act like I don't notice him being here. Obviously, he's not having that and simply turns my chair to face him but he's still not saying a single word.

I push him away and try to walk past him instead. But he grabs hold of me. "Talk to me Kar."

"You're the one who isn't talking", I yell. "I just said quite a bit and you're ignoring everything besides the fact that you missed our lunch date. Seriously?"

"I'm sorry you saw her touch me", the bail is rising within me and my anger is starting to get the upper hand.

"Oh you mean, it's ok she touched you. It's just too bad I got to see it? Fine then run to her, close this door and I won't see it."

"Fuck, of course that's not what I mean. I didn't want her to touch me anyway."

"Well it's not like you did anything against it."

He sighs. "Things are a little complicated."

"Well you worked things out, so I guess the complication, am I?"

"Jeez, no Kar." His arms try to wrap around my waist, but I push him back. "She'll be working here again as of tomorrow."

I gasp and it feels like a slap into my face. "Sorry, she's what?"

"I really tried getting out this, that's why things took so long. Unfortunately there was no way to negotiate. But honestly, it's just about work, it has nothing to do with us."

"So if I was the boss, I mean a huge CEO and would employ my ex, you'd feel fine about it? And I mean you punched Brad for holding on to my wrist. She had her hands on your arm and then on your chest standing as close as if you were going to kiss any moment."

"He wouldn't let go of you. And no I probably wouldn't be too happy about it. But as CEO you sometimes have to live with decisions that won't make everyone happy but are necessary."

"Right he wouldn't let go. But you know what? I tried to fend him off, you did nothing. You just let her do it and who knows, how much she touched you in your office with the blindfolds down", this time I can't quite hold my welling tears back.

No matter how hard I try to fight it now, Dean's arms wrap around me tight, pulling me against him.

"I'm sorry Kar, I didn't want to hurt you. You know I would never want to hurt you. I love you, I love you so much. I was an idiot for not fending her off, I just didn't think and I didn't want things to be on worse terms as they already are. But believe me, I'm just as unhappy about having her back here."

"Then why did you employ her again?"

"It's damn complicated."

"Wow complicated, that's all I get?"

"There are important business ties that would break up, if I don't employ her again. It's a major deal and as much as I want to, I can't risk that."

"Which means, I'll be faced with watching you work with your ex now daily? The ex who cheated on you and was your first proper relationship? Sounds great." I try to get out of Dean's arms again.

I get that as a CEO from a huge company like this, he has to think of business first. It still sucks and his reaction beforehand just makes me wonder, if he's really over her?

"Kar, please let's not fight about this. You're the only one I want, Nadine means nothing to me. I love you."

I honestly don't know how to feel about this whole situation.

A/N: Nadine is back and well I guess we all know she is going to be trouble.

How would you have reacted, if you were Kiara?

Just a short A/N today, hope you enjoyed the chapter. Please comment and vote!

Oh and a happy weekend everyone! <3
