Naughty Ceo’s Secret
Chapter 80

We're offically dating?

"You can't make that decision without me." I threw back with a scoff.

"Sure can." Kenzo replied.

Kenzo dipped his head down. He placed a kiss to my nose, my eyes, my cheeks, everywhere he could. I started shaking my head, and pushing Kenzo away. "What if I say no?" I asked.

"You can't." Kenzo stated.

I scoffed. Before I could say anything Kenzo pressed his lips to mine. I pulled away from him, with great reluctance I might add.

"You can't force me int-"

"Listen here kitten. I've allowed you to get away with a lot today because you are clearly at your limit. But I am not letting you go. You are mine." He said. "Then what the hell has this week been about?" I asked.

"I'll tell you on Monday." He said as he tried to bring his lips back to mine.

I turned my head giving him my cheek.

"What if I don't want to wait that long?" I asked.

Kenzo sighed as he pressed his forehead to mine.

"Opal.. Are you aware that there is a board of directors for Suzuki Industries?" He asked as he pulled away.

I scrunched my face up.

"No." I said.

"They have the power to replace me should they vote on it." Kenzo told me.

My eyes went wide.

"Th-they can't do that!" I said.

"Calm down kitten." Kenzo ordered. "I'm working on it." He said.

"Th-that's why you've been so.. distant? Because they're pressuring you about something?" I asked.

Kenzo blew out a frustrated breath.

"Well, my grandfather is starting it, but yes." He told me.

"Why is he doing this to you? What is he pressuring you about?" I asked.

"It's complicated kitten. I don't want to get into it right now. Right now, I just want to take care of you." He said.

Kenzo pressed his lips to mine again. This time I let him. I might be weak for Kenzo, this all might be a bad idea, but... I can't help it. I crave his comfort. I've had too much today, I just want to lose myself.

I pushed on Kenzo as I moved to straddle his lap. I just want to feel him. I just want him to touch me. I need him.

If I'm going to be honest, I just want to forget today. I want to forget how Kenzo has been distancing himself from me yet again. I want to forget about asking Beck out like a complete fool. I want to forget about throwing things at Kenzo. About the converstation with my mother. About GG, and her stupid interview. And most of all, running into Brad.

I moved my fingers under Kenzo's shirt. When he refused to let me take it off of him, I started to undo the buttons of my blouse. I never took my lips from Kenzo's.

Suddenly, Kenzo pulled away from me. I moved on to kissing down his neck as I kept undoing buttons. His hickeys from last weekend are gone now. I want to give him more.

Kenzo grabbed my shoulders, and pulled me away from his body. I stared down at him as I undid the last button. I slipped my blouse down my shoulders, exposing the light blue lacey bra I have on.

Kenzo swallowed hard as he pulled my shirt back over my shoulders.

"Not today kitten." He said.

I frowned as Kenzo started to do my buttons back up.

"Why not?" I asked.

I really want to know. This shouldn't be a big deal. We've had se.x plenty of times before. If Kenzo really does have feelings for me, he shouldn't be pushing me away like this. "Because, I am not going to fu.ck you while you're this upset." Kenzo stated. "It's not the time."

Honestly, that surprised me.

"Opal, you've been through a lot today. I know that you want to lose yourself, but I can't be your escape right now. Trust me, it's not because I don't want to. Because I really, really want to." He said. Kenzo just finished my last button.

"If things weren't rocky between us I would say yes. I would be all the escape you need. Unfortunately, things are not like that with us right now. I won't be fu.cking you again until they are." He said.

I just stared down at him. That's sweet and all, but I just don't care right now. For someone who said a Dom is supposed to take care of their Sub, Kenzo is really bad at it sometimes. Today, I just don't have the energy. Maybe if I didn't throw such a fit all day I'd have more energy to complain right now. I just don't.

I slid off of Kenzo's lap. I opened the door, and hopped out. Then I slammed it shut without another word.

I feel numb now. I remember this feeling from when Brad and I broke up. I used to hate it. At that point I would have done anything to feel something more.

Now, I welcome the numbness. I don't want to feel anymore today. I'm spent, I'm exhausted, I just want to curl up in bed, and be alon-

I looked down when someone had grabbed my hand. My eyes looked up at the owner. Kenzo locked our fingers together, and walked us across the parking lot. He had to practically drag me.

I looked down at our intertwined hands. A small smile fell on my lips. His hand is so warm, like it's melting all of that numb away. Just when I was starting to welcome it too.

Kenzo was wrong. I was wrong. I didn't need to sleep with him to escape my feelings from the day. I just needed him to be around me.

We walked up to my apartment door, where I thought Kenzo would leave me. Instead, he took the key from my hand, and pulled me into my apartment. Kenzo dragged me back to my bedroom. Cobweb was quick to rub himself all over Kenzo's legs. Kenzo pushed me to sit on my bed. Then he disappeared out of my room. Cobweb hopped into my lap, and I pet him while I waited to see what Kenzo would do next.

Several minutes later, Kenzo came back into my room. He got on his knees, and took off my shoes. Then he undid the buttons of my blouse, and took it off. Kenzo stripped me of all of my clothes in the most nonse.xually intimate way.

Kenzo grabbed my hands, and pulled me to my feet. He pulled me to my bathroom, and shut the door behind us. The tub is full of water, and bubbles. I looked from it to Kenzo.

Who only pushed me into the warm water. I sunk down in the bubbled as I stared up at Kenzo. Is he going to leave now?

Kenzo grabbed the detatchable shower head before sitting down on the floor next to the tub. He turned the water on before checking the temp. Then he got my hair wet.

I sat in silence as Kenzo washed and conditioned my hair. He soaped up my luffa, and washed my body. He's being so attentive, it's.. different. No one has ever treated me like this before. It's even different than at the hotel. I feel so.. cared for. Once Kenzo was done washing me, he sat back to let me enjoy my bath. I pulled my knees to my chest, and wrapped my arms around myself. I stared into the water as I thought about everything that happened today.

If Kenzo wouldn't have been there when I slapped Brad, what would Brad have done? I dated him long enough to know how that would have went. That's why I started to apologize right away. I may have made better changes in my life, but it seems I will always be submissive.

"We had been together for over a year the first time that he hit me." I said.

Kenzo perked up slightly.

"I went out with Marc, and stayed out way later than I said I would. Brad never liked Marc either. It was around 3 in the morning by the time I made it home. Brad was furious. He started yelling at me instantly. I was drunk, and got really mad. So I yelled back." I told him. Kenzo stayed silent as he listened to me.

"He got in my face, and grabbed my arm when I tried to walk away. He wouldn't let me go. The only thing I could think was to hit him. So I slapped him across the face. He backhanded me almost instantly. Like it was just a reflex." I said.

"Op-"

"I fell to the ground and my lip started bleeding. Brad was going on and on about how I must have been cheating. How it wasn't like me to be out that late, so that must have meant I was with someone else." I said.

I squeezed my eyes shut as the memories flashed through my mind.

"He held my hands down while he climbed on top of me. He said that I belonged to him, and was going to make sure that I never forgot it. I never went out again after that night." I said.

I turned my head to finally look at Kenzo. He looks more than pissed off. A single tear fell from my eye, and Kenzo was quick to wipe it away.

"I never told anyone about that part." I admitted.

Kenzo's jaw ticked.

"Why not?" He asked, his voice hard.

I shrugged.

"He was my boyfriend.. I convinced myself that it wasn't.. that it wasn't a big deal. We were a couple. That's stuff couples do." I said as I looked away.

Kenzo grabbed my chin, and pulled my face back up to look at him.

"Being in a relationship does not equal consent Opal. That is not what couples do. You should have told someone." He said.

I grabbed onto his wrist.

"I know." I said.

"Opal-"

"I don't feel that way with you." I told him. "Kendra and Marc were constantly trying to get me back out there. I made excuse after excuse, because I just.. couldn't. It was so different with you. From the beginning. Even all of the stuff we do.. I never not once have felt unsafe with you Kenzo." I said.

Kenzo ran his thumb across my chin.

"It happened here, didn't it?" He asked.

I nodded.

"Why didn't you move?" He asked.

I gave him a determined look.

"I didn't want to be scared anymore. Or ran out of my own place because of that a.sshole. So I stayed. It took me a while to get over things, but.. I am now. I feel much better. Much happier. Like my life can really move on." I said. Kenzo smiled at me.

"If only my new boyfriend wasn't such a jacka.ss who likes to push me away." I teased.

Kenzo chuckled.

"I promise, Monday I will tell you everything, and we will never be apart again. I will never push you away again. Everything will make sense Opal, I promise you. And I will spend every day of the rest of my life making it up to you." He said. I smiled as I leaned over the tub to kiss him.

"Can I ask you one favor?" I asked.

Kenzo nodded.

"Will you stay with me tonight? Please?"
