Isabelle sat still on the black and brown leather seat, striving to push the urge to squirm back to it's confines. She battled with her eyes to remain focused ahead even though she desired to look at Christian from her peripheral vision. Christian observed her stiff posture, her alluring throat as she forcefully swallowed saliva. His eyes went down further to her plain maroon blouse that was tucked neatly under her skirt.
The material left just a small cleavage to pique his curiosity. Isabelle felt his eyes on her and she lost her struggle. She shifted on her seat, grimacing when her lower back ached. She hadn't slept for two days, it was by chance that she had no bags under her eyes. The brief scowl on her face didn't go unnoticed by Christian.
"Relax. " The man stated, focusing his sight back on the busy road.
"Huh? " Isabelle concentration was elsewhere, her eyes couldn't waver from his hands as they gripped the steering wheel. The sleeves of his button up navy blue shirt were folded revealing venous arms that thrust Isabelle into a trance.
Christian chuckled. "You're too tense, relax, I won't bite...not yet. " The last part was whispered but Isabelle could have sworn she heard him right.
"Okay. " She mumbled. How could she remain calm after how their first encounter played out? She had no idea how he remained composed after their night activities. Isabelle was beginning to sweat, her body recognizing the man besides her.
Christian was however far from being composed. His exterior might have fooled Isabelle but his insides were heating up. It didn't help that Isabelle's skirt had ridden up, revealing creamy thighs. Every single emotion he had felt as he claimed her the previous night bombarded him full force. He wasn't oblivious to the lustful looks the lady was throwing his was whenever she thought he was looking ahead.
"How did you find me? " She mastered enough courage to ask. She wanted to ignore the tingle that had began to crawl between her legs reminiscing.
"He he, why do you think I have something to do with this? " He exited the highway, taking a right turn to the road going uphill, an hour from the city drive.
He lived in an isolated residence up the Weston hill, although he had a condo in the city.
"It can't be a coincidence. " Isabelle answered.
"What if it is? " She rolled her eyes at the utterance, once again Christian sharp eyesight caught the action. He imagined her orbs rolling to the back of her head as he hit her sweet spot over and over again.
"We meet at night and the next thing I am your personal nurse? " She arched an eyebrow. "Not possible. " She stated.
"Why don't you first tell me why you were at an empty park at 9? " Isabelle tensed, for a moment her mind rushed back. An image of Dylan snapping his hips forward into her supposed best friend flashed in her mind.
"None of your business. " She deadpanned after gathering enough courage. She didn't want to talk about it at all. It was eating her insides, gruelling, like knives stabbing her repeatedly inside her chest.
Christian hadn't expected her to spill any detail about her life. He wouldn't have asked his tech friend to find her had he not seeing a fire burning inside her then red eyes. The hurt and pain were unmistakable but there was an underlying flame that he had seen in her. He couldn't explain it, but he knew deep down that despite her state, she was strong inside.
"I guess you'll never know how I found you then. " Christian shrugged his shoulders and decided to play a few of his favourite songs. Isabelle watched as he effortlessly pressed buttons on the classy wooden dashboard. It had a nice sized touchscreen infotainment display, different from the one she was used in her old mustang.
She knew his statement was meant to get her talking, so instead she decided to remain quiet. Two could play a game, but her curiosity still remained. She hadn't told Christian her name, or any single detail about where she lived. So how he found her proved to be a difficult question to answer on her own.
"I'll answer if you answer. " He interrupted her thoughts.
"I...I can't. " Christian could make out the amount of pain in Isabelle's stumble.
"I'll ask a different question then. " He promised just as Un-break My Heart by Tony Braxton started playing.
"Okay. " Isabelle whispered.
"When did the hospital manager start lusting for you? "
"For crying out loud. " Isabelle let out a short laugh, revealing her set of white teeth with a gap in between.
"Mr Stanton wants you to himself. " Her jaw gaped when she realized he was being serious. Where the hell had he come up with such baseless accusation?
"I saw the way he looked at my hand on your back. The man was seconds away from ripping it from your body. " Christian chuckled yet again, the sound vibrating under the song's loud one. Isabelle didn't say anything back, deeply engrossed in the song as the lyrics spelled out the situation in her life.
"Dylan." She whispered his name, twisting necklace that she never took off even when bathing. unbreak my heart, say you love me again.
That part reminded her of Dylan confessing his love to Tiffany.
"Bring back the nights when I held you beside me. " Isabelle sang along in a shaky broken voice. When Christian played the song, he wasn't sure that whatever Isabelle was going through was the sorrows of a broken heart. He had to try though and see whether it was. So he played the only song that he thought would bring out Isabelle's emotions.
"Let it all out. " He whispered, stopping the car beside the road. The place rarely had any passers by. It offered a serene beauty, fresh air and tranquillity that Christian desired when he built his house up the hill. He was out of the door without much thought, to the other side of the car. Before Isabelle could ask what he was doing her door was opened and she was gently pulled out.
"You'll feel better when you empty the tears. " He engulfed her in a tight embrace and that is when she noticed that she had been crying. For the second time in two encounters, Isabelle had broken down in Christian's arms.
"I loved him, I trusted her. " She whispered against his warm chest. He could feel the softness of her breasts on his stomach due to height difference. He pressed her further into him, running his hands up and down her back. Christian broke another rule in their second meet up, hugging a female. He never showed any compassion, his business was to fuck and leave.
Christian remained quiet, wondering how his cock could harden as the woman bawled her eyes out on his chest.
"Welcome to your new home. " Isabelle couldn't begin imagining leaving under the same room with Christian. The man had so much power over her despite the short time they had known each other. What could go wrong anyway? She would be working, she needed to only go through his file and get an idea of what she would be handling. "Thank you. " She whispered. Her voice was still hoarse given the crying she had had. She still felt guilty about creating a mess on Christian's blue shirt. He however insisted that it was just a piece of fabric. Like a gentleman, Christian opened the door for her, spreading his palm for her to take. Isabelle eyes went wide, she thought she was at a fictional place."What the f..." She trailed off, eyes glued on the vast, slick unique house. She was witnessing the finest architecture on a private residence. "This is simply magnificent. " She breathed out, looking around at the masterpiece. Isabelle pulled her hand out of his and took a step back. Questions began
"You had one job, Carol, one fucking job! " Christian's voice boomed in his office, his burning eyes pinned on his one week old secretary."Sir, I called you countless times..." The woman trailed off when her boss lifted his right hand up, signalling her to shut up. Christian breaths were coming out in short puffs, his tense shoulders going up and down with every forceful breath."Shut the fuck up stupid woman! What did I say about dealing with my clients? " Carol hang her head."Answer me! " She flinched at the loud voice that reverberated in the enclosed space of work."That I should never strike any deals with them in your absence or Sean's. " Carol's low voice never shook as she answered despite a cold sweat that had began forming on her forehead."This is her first mistake since she started working here. " Sean who had been quietly observing the scene chimed in. Christian ignored him and turned to his secretary. He gave her a once over, grinding his teeth for what her stupid mist
Isabelle wasn't sure she wanted Christian to find out where she lived. In her four years of studying at the Weston East University, Isabelle never brought friends to her studio apartment except for Tiffany and Dylan. To her, the house was more than a place to sleep, it was her safe haven. Somewhere she could wallow, relax on her own without any disturbances."Uum you can drop me off at the hospital, I need my car. " She stated when Christian asked for directions to her house."I will have someone drive your car to my place. " Isabelle bit down a scoff."No, it's too much work for you. Plus you are supposed to be at work, your phone hasn't stopped ringing." Isabelle insisted, praying that he would just take the hint that she wasn't comfortable with him going there."I am beginning to think that you just don't want me to see where you live. " Chris deadpanned."Look, I know we barely know each other. But I think I deserve some benefit of doubt considering the fact that I didn't hurt yo
"Isabelle..." Christian didn't know how to say no to his nurse without hurting her further."I want to forget. " Isabelle's broken voice was barely audible as she clutched on Christians lean body."You have to pack what you need. " Said Christian, ignoring her whisper. He pried her off him, pinching his nose when she looked at him in teary eyes."There's no need, I'll pack tomorrow. " Christian could feel the indifference in her newly found firm tone."Isabelle you have to understand that you can't keep having sex whenever you get hurt. " Christian explained. The woman turned to look at him, slowly taking her time through her blurry vision."I need to be alone. " She spoke after seconds of silence and deliberation. She couldn't comprehend the power and control he had over he body. She burned to feel his warmth envelop her, she craved to orgasm in his arms again. She thought that he was the only one who could help her forget just how messy her life was."But w...""I will drive up tomo
"I'm so sorry. " He whispered, running his hands atop of her purple hair.Isabelle sniffed, positioning her head comfortably on his chest. " I should have suspected that they had something going on. ""Stop blaming yourself for their selfish actions. " Christian chastised. They remained standing, none of them ready to let go of the other. Isabelle felt safe, a sense of calmness settled in her heart when the man entered and pulled her into a hug. Christian on the other hand couldn't get to his office without thinking of Isabelle's fallen face."Tiffany...She uum she was my best friend or so I thought. " Isabelle sniffed again, listening to Christian's regular and strong heart beat."Hey, you don't have to. " Christian didn't want her to regret telling him.She lifted her head and forced a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. "I need to get it out, it feels like I'm suffocating the more I force it in. " Isabelle stated firmly."When you feel like stopping, just stop okay? I am here f
"I can hear your heartbeat. " Christian touched the left side of her chest, slightly above her breast."Relax. " He whispered against Isabelle's ear, feeling the organ under his arm moving rhythmically. The woman shuddered, closing her eyes when Christian avoided touching her sex yet again. He teased her, moving his hand around her wetness but never touching it."Christian." Isabelle begged, it was evident in her tone of voice when she whispered his name. Christian had never heard a woman pronounce his name in such a sincere, frustrated yet erotic manner. He could feel his length pressing painfully on his zipper. He adjusted himself, making the woman suck in a deep breath."Sshh, just feel. " He traced his other hand on the side of her face. His eyes looked at her parted mouth, pink tempting lips that reminded him of candy. When their eyes finally met, Isabelle could see Christian's pupils dilated. Christian on the other hand got lost in her eyes as she peeked at him through her long
"All I am saying is that a lot has happened in my life in the last 36 hours. " Isabelle pressed."I understand, but according to Mr Stanton you start work tomorrow. " Christian returned, scrolling down his phone. Isabelle concluded that it was work related since he would furrow his eyebrows, then type furiously."That is why I need sometime alone, to get myself together and of course to go through your file. " The nurse was beginning to feel like Christian didn't want to leave. They had settled after the intimate scene, Isabelle showered and they ate Chinese take out that Christian had dropped on the door when be previously arrived."I was hoping we'd go back to my place together. " The CEO mumbled but the girl heard him anyway."This..." She pointed at him then her, referring to their relationship."It has to stop now, we can't do any of this starting tomorrow. " Isabelle felt a piece of her heart shift painfully as she let the words out. She couldn't apprehend how she felt safe and
Isabelle's stomach sank as Sam approached stealthily, like a predator after injured prey. If he was capable of lying about her abusing him, what else was he capable of? Isabelle thought, the back of her legs hitting the sofa."But why are you shaking love? I am not going to force you like you did. " He dragged the words, taking a strand of her hair in between his fingers."We both know that I didn't. ' Belle gritted her teeth. The young nurse couldn't explain the emotions that her body had been subjected to.Sam chuckled, letting the strand loose from his fingers. He couldn't deny that his cousin was the most attractive woman he'd ever met. He looked at her glistening eyes, almond shaped with long lashes. "I can never hurt you. " He assured.Isabelle chuckled, slapping his hand away. " You already did you pervert, you are the reason why my father doesn't want to see me!""Oh no, I wasn't the one who drugged and assaulted myself. You were the one who did so, although I would have pref
