My CEO Boss Is A Masked Internet Sensation-Chapter 41: The Rose Pendant

(Karsten)

Arata appeared in the pearly dress I chose for her. Blue was what I preferred on her but that was meant only for me. Her innocence demanded this shade and I knew she would be a stunner in this one.

How I wished she would let her natural hair flow over this gown but she was hiding them for a reason.

Expectant blue orbs stared at me with her cheeks flushed as she waited for my approval. My eyes wouldn’t stop wavering over her voluptuous body. I had seen every fibre of her glowing skin and her delicious curves.

The elegance with which this dress fitted her beautiful shape had me itching. This woman was beyond perfect for the role I had chosen for her.

"How do I look?" She broke the trance between us with curiosity-coated words.

My eyes shifted to Armanta as I requested.

"Can I have a moment alone with my girlfriend?"

"Of course! Of course!" She happily obliged, clicking her fingers so her assistant moved back followed by her. The door closed behind them leaving us.

A wrinkle of confusion marred her forehead as I stepped closer to her. The stupid glasses needed to go, for now; I wished to see her without them.

Stepping closer I extended my hands and slowly separated the glasses from her gorgeous eyes. Such a powerful shade of blue they possessed, enigmatic and intelligent, they pulled one towards them.

"What are you doing?" She asked, a bit shaken, seeing her glasses go but not taking a step back from me.

I had begun to love how her instincts trusted me, maybe her body understood me more than she did.

I loved that about her, how she always stood her ground with me. She never cowered.

"Seeing you without the glasses," I answered, folding them, knowing too well she could see clearly even without them.

I pocketed her glasses.

Her look completely changed without her glasses. Taking a lock of her fake hair I rolled it onto my finger and let it slide down her flaming cheek. My fingers brushed against her velvety skin and a warm breath left her parted plump lips. She nibbled on her lower lip as if she was resisting herself from speaking.

My gaze dropped on them and a reminder of their taste filled my brain, hijacking it.

"This will do," I announced, knowing this dress was perfect. It cinched her waist, and her ample breasts slowly rose and fell. The feeling of them in my hand haunted me but in an overwhelming fashion.

The slant of her neck had caught the golden hue of the overhead soft lights and I resisted to not run a finger along it.

All in due time, I knew she would come to me....well to Twisted Rider at least, and I couldn’t wait for her to do it. The more frustrated I would leave her the more the chance she would turn to him.

After the time we had, I was sure she wouldn’t be going to anyone else. She wasn’t the type to sleep around.

"Finally." She breathed out, trying to ease herself and the awkwardness I was sure she felt. I was standing too close to her and she wasn’t the one to back down from me.

"We will get it." I longed for this moment to last but didn’t want her to get any wrong impression. This was enough teasing.

I could swear she breathed out in relief once I stepped back. Quickly she made her way out of the room leaving me with jumbled thoughts.

Armanta and Arata entered a while later. She had changed back to her jeans and high neck.

"I will send over the dress after the alterations. Would you like some matching jewellery with it?" Armanta expectantly asked.

She was a friend of my mother’s and I respected her a lot. Different from Ma, she was less critical and more understanding. There were aspects I could openly discuss with her without being judged. Armanta understood the complicated family dynamics.

"Yes, we would like to check out some pendants."

"We have plenty. I will have girls bring some," Armanta answered, heading out again.

Once the door closed, Arata began to speak. I knew she was itching for her opinion. Her arms crossed over her breasts. I had begun to read her, she always took this stance when she wished to speak her mind.

"Is jewellery necessary?"

I nodded. "Yes, you will see."

She let go of her arms and extended her hand towards me.

"Can I have my glasses back?"

Reaching into my pocket, I took them out and handed them to her. She quickly put them back on, altering her look.

Armanta arrived with her assistants carrying glass boxes with jewellery and laid them on the table, opening the lids.

I gestured for Arata to sit and choose. Elegantly, she settled down like a proper lady; her etiquettes were refined, and I knew I wouldn’t have much trouble on that front when it came to my family.

Thrusting my hand into my pocket, I walked over and stood behind her, checking out the jewellery.

Her delicate fingers brushed over different pendants while finally settling on a blue rose pendant. The finely cut sapphires made up the petals of the golden rose.

It was an artistically crafted pendant with fine details.

"Can I try this one?" She asked.

"Oh! Certainly." Armanta removed it from the box when I extended my hand and she gladly placed it on my huge palm. The tiny rose looked precious and I liked the look.

Opening the barrel lock I dangled it in front of Arata and placed it around her smooth neck. Closing the round lock to set it in place, she had her fake hair up in a bun making it easier for me to lock it.

My fingers brushed against her rosy skin and I felt her shudder under my touch. A vein sat visible under her skin and I deliberately let my fingers linger as I locked the necklace in place.

Armanta handed her a hand mirror so she could check herself.

Her free hand rested on the blue rose as she pressed it against her skin while her curious eyes wavered to me from the mirror.

Instead of checking the pendant she was staring at me.

"It suits you." I shrugged, this was going to be her choice if she wanted it.

Snatching her beautiful eyes away from me she finally checked herself out and announced.

"I will take it."
