Ivan’s pov
I stood there a few moment shocked at Amelia’s boldness all of a sudden.
She’s playing with fire I thought to myself smirking as I pack up myself calling it quits for the day. Walking out of the office, I make sure to lock it behind me before making my way towards the elevator.
My thoughts immediately go to my little assistant who’s been all I could think about since she started working for me. Her beautiful brown almost black hair cascading down her back as well as those mesmerizing green eyes that held a sort of innocence in them. My thoughts also go to Connor making my blood boil thinking about how close he was with Amelia but also I felt sort of envious that he had her attention whenever they were together.
My thoughts are put on hold as I exit the elevator and walk into the lobby quickly grabbing the attention of the female employees. I slightly smirk as I continue walking but my smirk falls when I see Melissa rushing towards me. Already annoyed, I roll my eyes but slow down anyways not wanting to come off as rude.
“What can I do for you Melissa” I ask with an impassive expression not wanting my annoyance to be shown.
“I was wondering if you’d like to come over tonight and maybe I could cook for you” she replies batting her eyelashes. I don’t understand how she can be so interested in a guy who hasn’t batted an eye in her direction since she started.
“I’m really busy at the moment but maybe another time” I say dismissively before walking away needing to get home.
I walk to my limo and curtly greet my chauffeur before getting inside and opening up a bottle of champagne. Pouring myself a glass, I take slow sips before remembering Amelia never gave me an exact date for our date. Pulling my phone out of my pocket, I quickly send her a text:
When shall I pick you up for this date mia cara;)
I. S
I smirk at my nickname for her continuing to sip on my glass of champagne. I’m interrupted by the beeping notifying me of her response.
I thought we were over that nickname asshole How’s Friday night at around 8pm?
A. W
Her response has me barking out laughing almost spilling my drink on myself. If only she knew that I gave her that nickname the minute I decided she was going to be mine.
Oh mia cara, would you prefer something corny like princess or kitten?

A lingering smile remains on my lips as Amelia Winters takes over my thoughts. I’ve never been emotionally involved with a women but when I do I never plan on letting them go.
Well then I guess it’s ok for me to call you princesa, si?
A. W
I slightly glare at the nickname she gave me before shooting the idea down.
If you ever call me that mia cara, you’ll be punished;)
I. S
I can almost picture her nervous reaction and I internally smirk having too much fun teasing her. Before I know it, the limo pulls up in front of my house and I finish my champagne before exiting the vehicle. Thanking my driver, I walk into my house, shortly being greeted my by housemaid. Giving her a curt nod, I walk up to my room taking my suit coat off and loosening my tie. I hear another ding and I pull out my phone to read the notification.
As tempting as that sounds, I think I’m good;)
A. W
I reread the text slightly shocked at how teasing Amelia’s behavior has been. I chuckle a bit, before replying.
Don’t deny the fact that you crave my presence mia cara or I might just have to prove to you how wrong you are;)
I. S
Taking off my watch, I set my phone down on my bed before opening up my balcony window to let in some air. I stand outside for a few moments with my eyes closed relishing in the serenity of nature. After a few minutes, I walk back inside feeling slightly hungry. Walking into the kitchen I see a plate of chicken parmesan pasta sitting out along with a glass of wine curtsy of my housemaid. Not wasting a second, I dig into my dinner scarfing it all down in record time. I put my dishes in the sink and grab my glass of wine to take with me to my office.
Opening the door, I walk over to my chair and sit down putting on my glasses preparing myself for all the documents I had to look over.
Downside of being a well-known CEO I think to myself opening my laptop to begin working. The documents were mainly about the new regions I opened a portion of my business on. I have to set up dates and have one of my trusted employees visit them and report back to me ok how smooth everything was running. I also had to attend 3 analyst meetings in the coming week which I had to prepare for. I bring my laptop towards me and open up a new document to start summarizing the main points I wanted to get across during these meetings.
I’m interrupted halfway through by my phone ringing. I answer the phone without looking at the caller-ID:
“Ivan Stone owner of Stone Industry speaking” I reply still in business mode.
“You got a lot of nerve teasing me like that Stone” a melodic voice comes through the speaker making me chuckle at her remark completely forgetting my work.
“You should be flattered I give you the time of day mia cara” I reply with a smirk on my face.
“Sweetie you should be flattered I agreed to go on a date with you instead of Connor. Though I’m starting to reconsider my decision” she snaps through the phone an underlying tone of anger underneath.
At her response my blood instantly runs cold remembering how that boy had taken an interest in what was mine.
“How many times must I tell you that you’re mine mia cara? That boy is nothing compared to what we have” I reply possessively slightly angered at her remark.
“Maybe I need a little lesson” she purrs sexily into the phone. My mind immediately fills with images of her underneath me as I ravish her body claiming her as my own. As I begin to harden down there, I snap out of my little daze just in time to hear her melodic giggles.
“If a lesson is what you need to remember who you belong to, then I’d be honored to teach you” I reply huskily to tease her. The line goes silent and I can faintly hear her gulping and I chuckle in amusement.
“Not so fun when you’re being teased now is it mia cara?” I add before she can respond.
“W-well I-I have to do s-some laundry now so bye” she stutters before ending the call effectively making me bark out laughing.
