A Sinful Night Comforting her
ISABELLA'S POVMy throat was so tight that I was almost choking on my words as I stared up at him, the tears overflowing and rolling down my cheeks.With one thumb, Alex rubbed away the tears tracking my face."What's wrong Isabella?" He asked, his voice low and raspy.He moved both his hands up to cup my face, sliding his fingers into my thick curly hair and tilting my face closer to his."I dunno... I'm just so sad... It... falling... apart and...I.... so sad."I was a slobbering mess. I had gone pale and my face very still as I felt his touch. I wasn’t a weepy person, and I was trying hard not to cry, but the tears kept rolling down my face as I faced him, and I kept angrily dashing them away.Slowly Alex reached out and brushed my hair away from my damp face, then eased me into his arms and pressed my head against his shoulder. “Whatever happens, I'll be here for you,” he said in a low, tortured voice.Desperately I clung to him, inhaling deeply to draw the scent of him into my bo
A Sinful Night Admission
ISABELLA'S POV His low, rough words washed over my shaking, twisting body. Crying a little, tormented by those long, probing fingers as he brought me to moist readiness, I tried again to free my hands, and this time he let them go.“Now,” he crooned, pulling the nightgown up. I lifted myself to aid in the removal of the frustrating garment, pulling it over my head myself and throwing it across the room.Alex’s face tightened even more as he stared down at my naked body, at my flushed, glowing skin. Briefly, his eyes closed, and he ground his teeth together.Carefully he rolled to his back and guided me astride him. “Slow and easy,” he muttered, his eyes glittering like black fire as he positioned himself for me. “Let’s go easy, a little at a time.”Oh Alex,” I whispered achingly, closing my eyes at the probing of his flesh against mine. I braced my hands on his chest, my fingers flexing in the mat of curly hair, and slid onto him.He made a guttural sound and arched beneath me, his ha
A Sinful Night One more
ALEXANDER'S POVI lay in my bed feeling restless. It was past 1 am and I hadn't had a wink of sleep. I pored over the documents I was reading since that was the only thing to keep my mind from wandering.I submerged myself in work to avoid Isabella. At this point, I didn't know what to believe anymore. I knew I felt so much more than sexual attraction for her, and it was tearing me apart.I still hadn't found out why she would marry my father, and now, Lucas was in the picture too.The image of the both of them I saw that night plagued me. The way Lucas pulled her towards him. It looked like they were arguing.Was it lovers' spite? Was she also fucking Lucas?I clenched my jaw and angrily closed the file I was going through.No, it can't be. Isabella isn't like that. She was terrified of Lucas.So what was the relationship between them?I asked her that night and she angrily evaded the question. I knew she was hiding something and I was going to find out.A call from the CFO at the o
A Sinful Night Sleeping state
ISABELLA'S POVThe dreams were so vivid that it was several minutes before I realized that I was awake, but awareness did not necessarily bring understanding.But were they memories, or dreams?I dreamt of Alex, with eyes as clear and blue as a highland lake under sunny skies, his hands tender as he caressed me, the feel of his strong chest against my palms.My fingers twitched; the dream was so real I almost ached to feel him under my hands. I lay quietly, feeling the lips on mine, trying to stop my body from responding the way it did.My head throbbed. I lay there until certain things began to return, and I knew that they weren’t dreams. The argument with Edward, my acceptance into the modeling Academy, leaving my room... and then nothing.I slowly opened my eyes and realized I wasn't dreaming. Alex was bending over me. The kiss had seized the moment he noticed I was awake and he paused to look at me.I gazed at him for a moment."Alex, what are you doing?" I whispered."You were ly
A Sinful Night Divorce him
ISABELLA'S POVI sluggishly dragged myself out of bed slipped on a fresh gown and slid into flip-flops.I couldn't sleep after my encounter with Alexander. I couldn't believe I got drunk and slept off on a couch. And Alex tried to seduce me!It was past 6 am and I dragged myself to the kitchen to make a simple breakfast for Edward. Our house-help hadn't resumed yet so I had to make him breakfast, even though I didn't want to.I heat-heated the stew I made the evening before and popped buttered fresh bread into the oven. When the stew was hit enough, I ladled up some into a plate and poured tea into a tall glass full of ice.Briskly I got the bread out of the oven and put it in the napkin-lined breadbasket, then placed the basket on the dining table.I didn't hear Edward approach and I whirled, startled by his voice and what he said."No need to make breakfast for me." He said gruffly while taking out a coffee mug from the rack and heading to the coffee maker."Why? I already did. If y
A Sinful Night Mission
ISABELLA'S POV"Brianna," I started with gritted teeth. "If you don't stop right now, I'm going to leave.""I'm almost done." She said. "So listen carefully. You're young and beautiful and smart. Edward is an old man who could die of a heart attack at any time. And if he dies, what next? You'll still be left with nothing. Absolutely nothing!" She nodded as if she was confident of her little speech. "He has sons who will take over all his businesses and properties and you won't get a share. So sit your ass up and take charge of your own life now, because no one will do it for you." She concluded.Just then, two of her workers came in and everything came to a close.... Our discussion and our lightheartedness for the day.I quietly stood up aacked up the lunch bag I brought with me and proceeded to leave her studio."C'mon Bells, what are you doing.""Thanks for your advice Brianna, but I think I've overstayed my welcome," I said. I was seething with anger."I'm sorry. I shouldn't have s
A Sinful Night Caught rehanded
Chapter 51ISABELLA POVIt was hard not to think about the loads of alcohol I’d downed down my system. Why did Lucas have to come back now, after all this while? I didn’t want to see him or be reminded of the mission. Granted, it is compulsory, but still. I didn’t like that he held that much power over what I needed to do.I tossed and tossed in my bed, and then stood up. My steps were unsteady with the alcohol I’d taken, but somehow that wasn’t enough. I went to the bar and brought out a half-unfinished bottle, and then cocked it open. I was halfway through it when I heard a chuckle.“Damn, you look like shit,” Alex said.I held the bottle loosely in my hands as I studied him. He was standing in front of me, loose jeans and no shirt. He was wildly attractive—how many times have I thought of that already? He was attractive.“Are you okay?” He asked.“Yup,” I said with a grin. “Did anyone tell you that I wasn’t?”“They don’t need to tell me anything, Isabella. You look like shit. Did a
A Sinful Night It was a...
ISABELLA POVWhen Alexander pushed me off him, I was numb for a few seconds. Edward looked at the both of us, his face changing every second. I followed every reaction, from surprise to shock to anger. There was more, but in my state of mind, I was still too shocked that he had caught us. This was the last thing I expected right now, to be caught by my husband while I was shagging his son.Thinking about it now, I felt horror and shame for what I did. I felt Alex rustling for his clothes but I didn’t pay any mind to him. My focus was on Edward, whose mouth was now twisted in disgust.“You really are a whore,” Edward spat at me. “A stupid, silly whore!”I stood under his gaze, shivering with fear and shame. I was afraid for this moment, that he had caught me in it. I was shameful and regretful that I hadn’t taken our affair upstairs when Alex had asked—twice or thrice—that we do. We had been so close before, so close to getting caught that the thrill of being seen excited us even more.
