The CEO's Return (Tracy and Alex)

Tracy

I felt very comfortable in Alex's arm, so comfortable that I fell asleep in no time, he didn't promise me anything, he didn't do anything either, all we did was sleep all night.

I woke up the next morning still in his arms, and honestly, I didn't want to move, I wanted to stay there, but I knew I shouldn't stay, it was hard but I tried to roll away from his warmth.

I was shocked when he pulled me back and hugged me closer, I didn't even know he was awake.

"Alex?"

"Hmm?"

"Let go"

"No, let's stay like this for a while." He said his voice sounding husky, It was sending different sensations down to my stomach

"I have to prepare the kids for school."

"No, they are not going to school, remember?"

"Oh, that's true, I have to call their teacher," I said trying to move away but he pulled me back.

"Just five more minutes, please."

I couldn't say no, we were like that for over five minutes, and I can't lie I enjoyed it, but I know I have to make breakfast.

"Five minutes is up," I said and he groaned.

"I love you Tracy, and I'm willing to wait, I'm willing whenever you are ready." He put something in my hand then left the room when I checked what it is, I found out he gave me back my wedding band, I felt like crying at that moment.

I stood up from the bed, I said my prayers then I kept the wedding band in the drawer.

I helped the kids take their baths then I went to the kitchen to make breakfast, I made coffee first then I started on a simple breakfast of pancakes and maple syrup.

Alex's father came downstairs when I was halfway through.
