The CEO’s Betrayal: My Ex-lover Has Triplets

Chapter 45

Chapter 45~ A warning

Tessa’s heart was pounding erratically. Pleasure rushed through her as Aaron’s lips moved against hers.

It had been a long time since she felt that way. For a long time, she had believed that she had cut

off her feelings. But the moment Aaron connected his lips to hers, a tingle shot straight to her

core, making it clench with a pleasurable ache.

The things she was feeling from the kiss alone, it was as if electricity was coursing through every fibre of her being. She sighed against Aaron’s lips… feeling his passion and love for her through

the kiss.

Her lips parted and Aaron took the opportunity to slip his needy tongue into her mouth. He fervently explored every inch of her mouth as he sucked and nibbled on her soft lips. He groaned. in pleasure and added pressure to the hand that was holding the back of Tessa’s head, causing him to deepen the kiss.

Sparks erupted between them and they both felt like they were floating on clouds in the sky.

They were still on the couch and Aaron was leaning over Tessa, kissing her hard. It was as was making up for all the lost time.

Gently, yet deeply.

Tenderly, yet passionately.

That’s how Aaron kissed Tessa. Tessa hesitated for a while but she later gave in and responded to Aaron’s demanding, sizzling kiss.

After about ten minutes, Tessa finally knew what it felt like to kiss until her lips got chafed.

Aaron let up when she gasped for air. Lust reflected in his eyes as he glanced at Tessa. He gulped as his eyes fell on her swollen lips. He ended up saying in a hoarse voice, “I could kiss you forever.

Tessa blushed profusely. She licked her sore lips and placed her hands on Aaron’s chest, gently pushing him away. She stated, “That’s all for tonight. We might end up doing something more if

we continue.”

Aaron arched his eyebrow and grabbed Tessa’s hands that were on his chest and declared, “I don’t mind doing more. Do you know how much I’ve missed you? It’s been five years… and I want you.

But I promised to wait… I’ll wait for you to fully open up to me, Cupcake. And then I’ll eat you like

you’re my favourite dessert.”

Tessa felt her heart do a backflip. Her reddened cheeks turned a shade darker. She cleared her throat to seem less affected by his words and remarked, “You’ve become good at sweet talk. Have

you been practising?”

“No. It comes naturally when it comes to you. I’m only like this with you. I’m myself when I’m around you. Wanting to make you smile has become a part of me, Tessa, My father used to say

money is not everything. At first, I didn’t know what he meant. But when I lost you, I realised the meaning of his words. All these billions that I have don’t make sense if you’re not with me.”

“You’re doing it again. Trying to seduce me with your words,” Tessa said, her stomach fluttering

with butterflies.

Aaron smiled and replied, “Is it working?”

Tessa chuckled and nodded, saying, “Yes, it is. But I still don’t want to do more than a kiss.”

Aaron sighed. He adjusted his pants reluctantly, knowing it was going to be a long cold night. Just

him and his blue balls.

He glanced at Tessa and said, “I know. Let me kiss you goodnight before I leave.” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Before Tessa could realise what was happening, Aaron grabbed the back of her neck and captured her lips with his. He kissed her like there was no tomorrow. What was meant to be a short and

simple goodnight kiss lasted longer than expected.

The weekend quickly passed by in a pleasant blur. Tessa and her colleagues were having a meeting in the lounge on a Monday morning.

“I’m putting up job offers for architects. The time has come when we need to expand our company and have more employees,” Tessa presented.

The workload had become too bulky and Tessa couldn’t finish each project on time. Since they had more money coming in. It was only right to hire more people. She was personally working on Aaron’s T&A project and construction had began. It needed more of her attention so the other projects would lag behind.

The mall that had collapsed was also being rebuilt and she needed to draw up some designs for the building She was going to change everything about the mall.

Their company had been receiving more clients ever since people knew she was connected to Aaron Wentworth, so they needed all the help they could get.

Tessa glanced at her assistant and instructed, “Put up adverts for ten job offers. We need a receptionist, eight architects and an accountant to help Michelle.”

“Yes, Ma’am,” Lisa Brooks replied and took down the minutes of the meeting.

“Michelle, we shall conduct the interviews together,” Tessa said, looking at Michelle.

When there was no response, Tessa frowned and glanced at her best friend. Michelle appeared to be in a trance. She was staring into space with a dazed expression as if she was in deep thought.

“Michelle? Michelle!”

Only when Tessa shouted did Michelle snap out of her trance. She stared at Tessa with wide eyes and asked, “What? Why are you shouting?”

“Where’s your mind this morning? Are you okay?” Tessa asked with a voice laced with worry.

Michelle blinked, realising she had been lost in her thoughts once again. She hid her emotions and replied, “Yes, I’m ok. I was just thinking about something and got carried away.”

When Tessa narrowed her eyes in suspicion, Michelle evaded her gaze.

“I knew it! Something happened over the weekend. I saw you leave with Graham. Girl, you have to

spill the beans.”

“Um… nothing-”

“Uh-huh… I won’t have that. We share everything. I need to know everything. Let’s go to my office. Lisa, start working on the job offers now.”

Tessa dragged a reluctant Michelle to her office. She then sat on top of her desk and waited eagerly for Michelle to reveal what happened.

“What do you want to know?” Michelle asked.

“EVERYTHING,” Tessa responded dramatically and added, “I want to know what made my best. friend look so out of it.”

Michelle pinched the bridge of her nose and groaned. “Argh! I will never take alcohol again!”

“Girl, that’s what we all say. Did you go drinking with him? What happened?” Tessa questioned.

Michelle sighed and said, “Not only did we go drinking, I ended up spending the entire weekend in bed with him.”

“What??!”

Tessa jumped down from her desk, her eyes growing to the size of saucers. With her mouth almost falling to the floor, she inquired, “How did you even reach that point? I thought you two couldn’t stand each other.”

Michelle shrugged and responded, “I thought so too. Who knew we would end up having such hot, intense and addictive sex? I got dick-whipped! If there’s such a word. I couldn’t leave and I just let him ravish me in every which way.

“Did he take advantage of you?” Tessa asked, worried that her friend was lured into having sex

while she was drunk.

“No. I actually took advantage of him. I didn’t drink a lot. Just enough to make me overly bold. I was upset that he said I’m not his type. So I challenged him. We ended up in his penthouse and had sex until the next day in the evening. It was the best sex I’ve ever had. And he’s so huge…”

“Ok, but why do you look so sad if it was the best?” Tessa asked, feeling confused.

“He disappeared. Just like that. He didn’t say if we are now dating or if it was just a hookup. I woke up this morning and he was gone. The only thing he left was a note saying there was breakfast in the kitchen. That’s it. He didn’t even leave the number he’s currently using.”

Tessa’s heart ached because she could feel the pain in Michelle’s voice. It was rare to see Michelle hurt. Seeing her like this meant what Graham had done had really hurt her.

Patting her shoulder, she consoled, “I’ll get his number from Aaron and then you can give him a piece of your mind.”

Michelle’s eyes lit up. She got to her feet and said, “Yes, ask Aaron for his line. I won’t let Graham. off for running away like that. I’m the one who does the running, not the other way round.”

The rest of the day was peaceful. Tessa received a bouquet of yellow tulips and lunch from Aaron through Enock, his assistant There was a note in the bouquet. She took it out and smiled as she

read it.

[Enjoy your lunch. It’s your favorite. Think of me while you eat. I love you so much.]

“So cheesy,” Tessa remarked but her lips had split into a big smile.

She was about to have her lunch when her assistant told her she had a visitor. Putting the food away for later, she agreed to meet the visitor but to her surprise, it was Mia Hendrix.

“What are you doing here?” Tessa questioned with furrowed eyebrows the moment Mia entered her office and took a seat.

“I’m here to see you. I want to know why Aaron seems to be so smitten with you,” Mia replied.

“I don’t think I follow,” Tessa said curtly. “How did you even know where to find me? Did you investigate me?”

She thought Mia was just innocently crushing on Aaron, who knew she was another psycho like Serena?

“No. I don’t have that much free time on my hands. I asked my brother. I came to find out what your thoughts are about Aaron From what I saw, he’s the only one in love with you. You don’t seem to reciprocate his feelings.”

The space between Tessa’s eyebrows tightened. She narrowed her eyes at Mia and declared, “That is none of your business. What right do you have to ask me such a question?”

“I have the right because I’m Aaron’s top fan. His happiness means a lot to me. I love him but if he loves someone else, I am ready to move on. But what I want to know is if the woman he’s so smitten with loves him back,” Mia said. She laced her fingers and placed her forearms on the desk. Leaning over, she asked, “Do you love him?”

Tessa’s mind reeled with thoughts. Love? She didn’t know what she felt at the moment. All she knew was that she was becoming happier and the bitterness she had kept in her heart was slowly

disappearing.

When she was with Aaron, she felt alive. She felt more safe and secure because he didn’t miss an opportunity to show her how much he loved her.

However, she didn’t want to call what she was feeling love just yet. It was too soon. She had just started opening up her heart and didn’t want to rush things.

Mia squinted her eyes at Tessa, taking her silence as a no. She snapped, “So you don’t love him? Then why are you dating him? Are you playing with his heart?”

Tessa was taken aback by Mia’s sudden change in mood. Before she could respond, Mia beat her to

“Do you want him or not? Because I do. I’ll fight for him as long as you say you don’t want him.
