Scorching Desires Chapter 23
Isabelle looked at her reflection in the mirror above the golden sink as she brushed her teeth. She noticed dark circles under her eyes and hair strands that were sticking on the side of her face. She wondered how she didn't have a hammering headache. After brushing, she trudged into the rounded walk-in shower stall. It was surrounded by thick glass walls that complimented the marble floor and the rest of the walls. She wore Christian's shower flops that made her look like a penguin.She took off the shirt and placed it on a wall-mounted wooden shelf by the shower entrance. "Here's your towel."Christian popped his head behind the glass wall, the neatly folded towel in his hand. He couldn't tear his eyes off Isabelle's nude body, the words dried in his throat that instant. He could almost feel the softness of her skin under his palms. Isabelle froze in place, under Christian's scrutiny that left her insides warming up again. She thought she would create a distance between them when sh

Their bodies pressed together scorchingly against the wall, breathing heavily as their lips touched. Isabelle pulled back, her hazy eyes staring at her patient. She couldn't believe that she had just felt the softness of his lips against hers. Christian didn't want to have it. He pulled her back, their lips brushing again, tentatively at first.Isabelle could feel the hardness of his cock trapped between their bodies. Her nipples rubbed on his hard upper body, the friction sending shivers of pleasure down her spine. The kiss was soft at first, their lips just slanting against each other slowly. Then it changed, with a swift gradation of intensity that dizzied Isabelle. She clung onto Christian's body, skin against skin."Please." Isabelle whispered when they pulled back for an intake of breath. She didn't know what had gotten over her. Her skin was tingling from every spot Christian touched. Christian moved his thigh between Isabelle's legs and guided his hands to her curvy ass."What

Isabelle's forehead throbbed, dizzying her momentarily as she bent to put on her trousers. She had to support herself on the dresser for the wave of nausea to pass. The trouser suit she wore the previous day had been neatly placed on the guestroom bed, including her pants. She wondered whether Christian had something to do with that. The thought, however, only brought a new set of moisture in her eyes.Isabelle's stomach rumbled, reminding her that she had missed breakfast. She couldn't care less about her tousled hair or swollen eyes. She finally managed to pull herself together and stood upright, though shakily. Isabelle decided to take a taxi and go give her patient a piece of her mind. She was a grown woman for goodness' sake. She didn't want to crumple under his treatment. She wasn't about to let him use her the way he pleased."I am not a whore." She whispered, raised her chin high, and exited, heading for the front door. She needed to get out of the place. She couldn't stand t

"What were you looking to achieve by lying to me?" Christian sneered, ignoring his pounding head. Isabelle stood there with her emotions rattled. It was like she was living that evening again, only now it was with Christian. She could detect the judgement dripping in his timbred voice with every loud word he spat. She took another step, but her legs wobbled, making her bend to let the wave of nausea pass."Fucking talk you bitch!" He banged on the door, the sound resonating in the hallway leading to the living room. Sean felt as if he was invading a private conversation, but he couldn't leave his friend in such a state. He observed Isabelle, her stare pinned on the photographs without wavering. He could tell she was completely shaken. Maybe there was something more to it than what they actually concluded with Christian.Christian pinched the bridge of his nose when Isabelle kept her lips in a thin line. "You coerced me into having unprotected sex with you, so that you could pin the pr

"Where did you get them?" Isabelle's voice was pinched and nasal; the words were forced out of her dry voice box and blocked nose. Her eyes remained fixed on the streets of Weston City as people went about their normal businesses. Her mind, on the other hand, was nowhere near there.It had resumed functioning after stuttering and pausing back at Christians' place."What? " Sean looked at her briefly, her red-puffed eyes, chapped lips, and tangled hair making his stomach tighten. He blamed himself for her panic attack. If only he hadn't invaded her privacy and her apartment. Looking at her as she struggled to keep more tears from flowing had him wish he could take time back. Isabelle chuckled, closing her eyes briefly. Sean was getting on her nerves by pretending he didn't know what she was talking about. "Someone broke into my apartment and went through my things. The photos were taken and somehow they landed in Christian's hands? " That was the most Isabelle had said since they left

"I need to be left alone." Isabelle could feel a living force that crept over her, immobilizing her brain. She needed to think, to get her mind to work properly again. The only thing that remained constant was the name of her cousin that was right at the tip of her tongue. Even when she closed her eyes, his smug expression continued to flash before her."I am not leaving you here, Christian will meet us at the office. Come on. " Sean made a move to pull Isabelle, but she slapped his hand away. Her stubbornness in such a vital moment made Sean pinch the bridge of his nose. He was beginning to see why his friend couldn't stay away from her. Isabelle scoffed, the action turning into a series of loud coughs. "I said I want to be alone." She turned, her ass still seated on the rug that covered the floor. "Someone broke in by the looks of the things. What do you think would have happened had you been here when it happened?" Sean held back the urge to put his hands on her shoulders and sha

"How fucking dare you? " Christians' voice became thunderous, resonating throughout the entire office. Sean stood up, finding himself in the middle of their issues again. Only that time, he wouldn't allow his friend to make the biggest mistake of his life. "Someone broke into Isabelle's apartment while you were dragging her to the club. Someone left those fucking photos, with the note taped to one of them. Can't you fucking see it Christian Black? Isabelle might be in danger! " Sean felt something scorching hot rising in his chest. Indescribable, the need to protect Isabelle that he couldn't get rid of no matter how hard he tried. It was as if Isabelle and him had already developed a connection that he couldn't sever.Christian ran his thumb and index finger on either side of his chin, staring at a spot on the glass wall. "Is that what she told you? " He chuckled bitterly, turning to face his friend, who had blood boiling in his veins. "This is all her doing, her plan to get her cla

"I fucked up big time. " Christian turned on Sean's swivel chair, tapping his blue pen on the desk."I told you, you would regret it. " Sean smirked victoriously, left clicking his mouse. He was going through the project as asked, and all he could see were holes and unexplainable measurements. Isabelle was soundly sleeping in Christian's room adjoining his office, or so they thought."Come take a look. " Sean's work mode was back, so they decided to finish up while they tasked one of their employees to look into Sam. Christian couldn't wait to lay his hands on the man who couldn't keep his prick off Isabelle. He was determined to get to the bottom of the photos, and so was Sean. "What am I looking at? " Christian placed his palms on the computer desk, as Sean began explaining."The security blueprint of the project the Digi company proposed. " Sean zoomed in, chuckling when Christian shook his head. The guy wasn't used to dealing with anything complex concerning computers or the net.
