Naughty Ceo’s Secret
Chapter 55

Kenzos P.O.V.

I thought that going out with Opal and her sister would finally give me the chance to explain why I had been so distant all week. Apparently, that was a mistake. It's no secret that Jezz had an interest in me. The girl couldn't be more obvious about it. Unfortunately for Jezz, I only have eyes for one woman.

Only, Opal didn't seem to notice it all night. Jezz clung to me like we've been dating for years. Not like we just met earlier that day. Nothing I did was pushing her away.

When Jezz grabbed onto my arm, I pulled away. When she sat next to me, I tried to get Beck to switch me spots. I ignored Jezz most of the night while keeping my eyes on Opal. I was making it very clear that I wanted Opal. Jezz was not taking the hint. Or at least, she wasn't going down without a fight.

Opal kept her head down most of the night. I don't think she even seen the way I was treating her sister. Everyone else saw it. Our waitress even kept giving Jezz dirty looks, and being extra sweet to Opal. Beck would share looks with me. Jezz was clearly making comments that she knew would make Opal feel bad.

Which was angering me to no end. What kind of sister talks down to her sibling like that? Jezz is clearly being fake about everything just to make herself feel better.

That sh.it she said about Opal losing weight struck something in me. I knew I had seen Opal before. I just didn't realize it.

It took me a few years after I took over the company to get that back elevator put in. I only did it because people would flock to me everytime I entered or exited the building. Girls, press, people wanting jobs. It was ridiculous.

While the elevator was being put in I would go to the office very early. Only a few others would be there ready for the day. I remember that there was always the same girl that would get there at the same time as me.

I never paid her any mind. Not because of her looks, but because I was busy. I had to keep my focus, and not get distracted with coworkers.

Until one day when she was almost late to the elevator.

Usually I wouldn't hold it open for anyone, but I felt bad for the woman. She was carrying a tray of coffee's, two bags slung over her shoulder, and two donuts in her other hand.

So, I held the elevator open for her.

Even when she thanked me I didn't acknowledge her. I was under so much pressure at that point in my career. I was a lot younger than most who take over for a company. There was a lot of weight on my shoulders. I didn't have time to be concerned about nice secretaries

The next morning though, I was greeted with the same woman. Like always, I ignored her. Until she held out a cup of coffee to me. One that wasn't the shit they served in the break rooms.

For the first time, I looked at the woman. Her strawberry-blonde hair was in a low bun. An adorable smile was spread across her face making her blue eyes sparkle. She was curiver than most women I had seen around the building. There was a light shinning within her though. A kindness that not many people have anymore.

"I just wanted to thank you for yesterday. You don't seem to pay much attention to anyone around you. I'm sure you are a very busy man, but you really helped me out. So, thank you." She said as she handed me the coffee.

I remembered watching her walk away after that. I must have repressed that memory. It was unlocked when Jezz said something about Opal losing weight. Now I remember though.

I had to push that sweet girl from my mind. I didn't have time to date. At that time in my life, I was happy with just the Pet Store.

The next day my private elevator was done. I never saw that woman again. It made it easier to forget about her, but apparently, Opal and I were always meant to be. I should have taken the chance on her back then.

So, when Jezz said something about no one noticing Opal, 1 objected. I have always noticed Opal. Even when her size didn't meet society's standards. I would have wanted her back then. The same way that I do now.

Hell, I did want her back then. I was just too busy to act on it. I wish that I would have sought her out after my position as CEO was settled. Who knows what we would be now.

Beck was right too. Opal was just as sexy then as she is now. Maybe we think that because we value all women's bodies. All women are beautiful. All shapes and sizes can be fun. Perhaps that is just our experience speaking.

Unfortunately, no matter what I said that night, Opal didn't want to hear it. So, when Jezz asked me to dance, I said yes. I wish I wouldn't have. I just thought that Opal would have had a reaction. One that didn't involve asking our waitress for more shots.

Doesn't she see that this isn't my thing? Does Opal really not notice that I am only here because of her? That I would never be in a place like this if she wasn't here?

After watching Opal take another shot, I tried to storm over to her. Fu.ck this. Opal is not going to keep drinking. She's going to feel awful tomorrow if I don't stop her.

"Where are you going?" Jezz whined as she clung to me.

"Look, I'm sorry, but I like your sister okay. I'm going to go make her stop drinking." I said.

Jezz still held me back.

"Why?" She asked

"Why do I want her to stop drinking? Because she's going to have a hell of a hangover tomorrow-"

"No." Jezz said interrupting me. "Why do you like her? 1 mean, seriously. I can show you a way better time than Opal ever could. I can just come home with you tonight. I promise you'll forget all about my sister. That's something Opal would never do. She's too scared to sleep with her boss." She said seductively.

I gave her an incredulous look.

"Are you serious? Who the hell talks about their sister like that? Shouldn't you be happy for her?" I asked.

Jezz tensed her jaw. I shook my head. This is ridiculous.

"That guy is probably the hottest guy to ever talk to Opal.

She's fine. Trust me." Jezz said.

Wow.

"I'm only going to say this one time Jezzlyn." I said. "Do not flirt with me anymore. I do not want you. I want Opal. Your sister. I was only entertaining you to make Opal jealous.

There is nothing that you could ever do to make me forget about her. And for the record, I've been between your sister's thighs on several occasions. Nothing will make me forget how good that feels. Don't be jealous of your sisters happiness." I said

Then I turned around, but Opal was gone. I stormed out of the club, and saw Beck half carrying her down the street. I ran after them shouting. By the time I made it to Opal she looks half dead.

"Give her to me." I demanded as I tried to take Opal.

Beck carefully handed Opal over.

"Shust great. Black eyes. Seshy tattooooos." Opal slurred

I looked up at Beck.

"How could you let her drink so much?" I asked him.

Beck rolled his eyes at me.

"She is an adult Zo. Plus, I think she really needed this. You could have stopped it all though. If you really wanted to."

He told me.

"She said herself I'm not her Dom." I argued.

Beck shrugged.

"Could have told her sister outright to fu.ck off. Could just tell her that you like her. You had options Zo." He said.

Beck is right. I did have options. It always seems that when it comes to Opal, I never make the right choice. That's all over now though.

"I should have never listened to the three of you telling me that I'm too soft with her." I gritted out.

Beck laughed

"I told you to be her Dom and her boy friend. You are the one that ignored her all week." He said.

"I just-"

"Wanted to get work done so that you could focus on her. I get it." Beck interrupted me to say. "Look, no one can tell you how to be a Dom Kenzo. That's part of being a Dom.

Sure, we should care for our Subs. It's our job to make sure that they are always okay. Especially with what we put them through. That doesn't mean that you can't figure out a good rhythm with Opal. All Dom/Sub relationships are a bit different. Just like normal relationships." He said. "I guess you have a point." I said.

"I know that you don't have much experience in actual relationships. That doesn't mean you should let everyone else tell you how it should be. The only opinions that matter, are yours and Opals." Beck said.

I gave him a hard look.

"Couldn't have said any of that when Jenson and Greg were talking sh.it to me?" I asked.

Beck laughed.

"I didn't think you'd fu.ck things up this badly. Besides, have you seen how Jenson lets Jess treat him? He is way too soft on her, and loves it when she is all over him. And don't even get me started on Greg. He is a true, hard, straight to his core, Dom." He said I thought about that for a moment. Beck is right. What the hell was their problem before anyways then? Was that just to give me sh.it?

"Can I. go hooome now?" Opal slurred out.

I looked down at her.

"Take the drunk hot chick home. I will take Jezz back to Opal's apartment, but I'm taking Ben." Beck offered.

I watched Beck walk away. Then I flagged down a taxi. I helped Opal into the back before giving the driver my address.

Opal passed out less than five minutes later. She kept mumbling in her sleep, but I couldn't make anything out.

Opal is never drinking this much again.

When we got to my complex, I carried Opal to the elevator.

She snuggled against my chest the whole way. After we made it inside I took Opal to my bed. Then I carefully stripped her out of her clothes. I put a fresh shirt on her before taking off her makeup.

Opal grumbled, and pushed my hands away the whole time I tried to take care of her. Even in her sleep she is bratty. I'd be lying if I said I didn't love it though.

After I was done cleaning Opal up, I joined her in my bed. I ran my hands through her hair for a while. Opal looks so peaceful now. I missed those light freckles across her nose that that makeup hid. "I promise that I am going to make it up to you kitten.

Everything. I will do everything in my power to make sure that I never let you go again."
