Sleeping With The CEO
Chapter 243: Keys And All

Chapter 243: Keys And All

There was great sex, and then there was fantastic sex.

What he and Emily had going was so amazing that it did not belong in either category. There was just no describing it. In fact, every time Derek tried to come up with a word that would sum up what they did together when they got down to business. How they connected in more than just the physical sense. His mind instantly switched off. Everything that he tried to say coming out as nothing more than gibberish.

It almost sounded as though he were having a stroke.

Somehow, sleeping with Emily had reduced him to sounds such as ’gar’ and ’uugh’, and other undignified sounds. In any other situation, Derek would have taken great offense to having his mind reduced to a single cell like that.

But the situation with Emily was different.

Any sex that robbed a man of the ability to form coherent thought was nothing other than mind-blowing. And to top it all off, it was not just sex as it had been in all of his past almost relationships.

What Derek had with Emily was real. Not only was it real, there were literally no lies, no secrets between them.

In the past, Derek had always known that he played a huge role in his past relationships not working out. Not being upfront with his partners about the sleeping problem, that he was experiencing affected his relationships negatively.

More than once he had been accused of being cold and closed off. Of not willing to share anything of substance about himself.

"I wish to see the real you.

The Derek behind the mask of the CEO of Haven Group. The Derek who is more than just the heir to the Haven fortune," One girlfriend had told him years back. To her it might have sounded like a reasonable request. But to Derek it had felt as though, not only was she demanding an arm and a leg, but she also wanted a pound of flesh as well.

That relationship, just like all the others before Emily, had not lasted long. For many years Derek had believed that that was the only downside to getting into romantic relationships with people whom he could not fully trust.

It meant that things ended far sooner than they should have.

But now that he finally had an open and honest relationship with Emily. Where the two of them knew of each other’s difficulties, Derek realized something else.

Being with people whom he could not tell about his sleeping problems. It made him more guarded around them. And being more guarded meant that he could never truly relax when with them. And that had also shown in their intimate moments when Derek had slept with all those other women.

In the past, he had never been able to let himself go. To just enjoy the moment. He had never had the freedom of letting his feelings guiding him instead of logic and common sense.

Derek might not have liked to acknowledge it back then. In fact, it was difficult enough to do in that moment.

But the reality was that Derek had been so worried about his secret coming out. So terrified of it that he had not even been able to let himself enjoy something as human as having sex with someone who he was in a relationship with.

Sure, he had always gotten off, and he had made sure that his partners in turn were well taken care of. But there had always been fear at the back of his mind. Worry that he would give in to the post-orgasmic tiredness that often overcame most people after sex.

Only instead of falling asleep as was expected. He would just lay there, blinking, until it finally dawned on his bed partner that he was being weird. Such thoughts had raced through Derek’s mind on a near constant basis in the past. But with Emily, there was none of that.

When the two of them had been moving as one, just enjoying each other’s bodies. Taking and giving pleasure to each other.

There had been none of the worry of the past, unlike with all the others. Derek had not been planning any exit strategies while he and Emily had been coupled together. Instead he had simply been there in the moment enjoying the feel of her.

From the slick heat of her inner walls, to the softness of her rosy skin, his mind had not been going haywire looking for excuses and escape routes.

Instead, all that had been there had been just every fibre of his being focusing on Emily. On taking her apart, and being taken apart in turn. His mind knowing that with Emily he was safe and thus allowing itself to shut down for a bit. Letting instinct take over. Letting Derek go from this man who was always planning for every eventuality. To just a man lost in the throes of pleasure. Not scared of anything. Just letting himself enjoy some earth shaking sex, and the naps in between.

Even now the two of them were one, even if they were not doing anything sexual. They were just laying on the bedroom floor where they had ended up at some point. Having managed to roll off the bed while the two of them were busy rutting against one another.

It would have been wise,

to get up, and lay back down on the more comfortable surface as soon as they had gotten their energy back after their previous climax. But even after they had calmed down, the two of them had not moved.

Instead, Derek was peppering Emily’s side with kisses. His arm thrown over her body. She in turn was running the pads of her fingers over him. There were no words exchanged, no unnecessary sounds made. The two of them just enjoying each other.

The sex was great, but Derek had to admit being able to just relax around Emily without worrying

about making sure that his secret stayed known only by himself,

was a form of joy that he was certain he would never be able to forget. Finally feeling rested enough, Derek stopped kissing Emily and got onto his knees.

Leaning over, he kissed the little pout that was beginning to form on her lips. And then he slid a hand beneath her knees, the other going underneath her shoulders. And as easy as though she weighed nothing, Derek lifted her up and carried her to the bed.

"Shall we explore some more?"

He asked, smiling down at her. And in answer, Emily let her legs fall open. Her almost pout completely gone. Replaced by a slight upturn of her lips. A silent dare for him to do his worst.

Later, the two of them once again back on the floor despite their best efforts to stay on the bed. They reached yet another milestone. Derek whispering his key code into Emily’s ear. She already had access to his body, and his secrets. The penthouse was nothing compared to that.
