They were just about to start eating, but the sound of horse hooves could be heard from afar. They both winced when they saw a person on a horse coming in their direction. A slight smile appeared on Billy's lips as Isabelle's heart began to beat extremely fast. Even though the man on the horse was still far away, the arrogant way in which he rode betrayed his identity.
“Shawn...” she whispered gasping for air.
His name had left Isabelle's lips almost without her knowing.
“Mom had told him about the picnic, asking if he could join us. He told her that if he would be able to get rid of a previous commitment, then he would come,” Billy said following closely Isabelle's reaction.
“What a way to ride a horse… H
He sat on top of her and made Isabelle his prisoner. His strong chest crushed her breasts making every attempt to get up practically impossible. His head began to go down even further until his burning mouth found relief resting on Isabelle's surprised lips. At first, she still tried to resist him, but her body betrayed her and reacted differently. Shawn's lips were warm and convincing, and, without her being ok with all this, her lips responded to Shawn's. Eager prisoner, tight in his strong embrace, Isabelle drank the tenderness and sweetness of that endless kiss, while the afternoon breeze was caressing their bodies heated by the passion. Shawn heard an almost unnoticeable moan coming from Isabelle and right then and there he knew that she was all his and that she would never be the woman of another man. He felt his head grow heavy and groaned sligh
After the picnic, Isabelle and Billy joined Marie. She finished greeting everyone who had come there. They asked Isabelle to come with them to the ‘Villa Mimosa’, to spend the rest of the day with them and to have dinner with the whole family. But the thought of seeing Shawn again, especially after what had happened between the two of them earlier, frightened her and Isabelle refused their invitation and they didn’t insist. After saying goodbye to Marie, Isabelle asked Billy to take her to the ranch. As usual, he helped her get down and accompanied her to the entrance.“Today I had a great time with you, Billy,” she said tenderly. "But the good things must come to an end." Billy took Isabelle's hands in his. They were very cold and, in her eyes, he saw so mu
The next day, Andrew got out of bed and he dressed, willing to go into town. He was feeling good... He hadn't felt this in a long time, way too long… Since the night he fell down the stairs since he lost his wife, Michelle. He left his room and saw Isabelle who was cleaning the living-room.“It's incredible! It's really wonderful!” he exclaimed approaching his daughter who looked at him totally amazed. “I feel good, I'm myself again! I’m Andrew Baldwin again, healthy and strong!” He smiled at his daughter even if he had a strange look. “Isabelle, I absolutely have to go to the city and take care of something. And I have to do it today. I will ask James to take me to San Francisco.” She continued to look at her father, unable to believe what she was seeing and hearing. Isabel
“You told me that he won’t be here,” she whispered, looking nervously at Billy."Shawn said to all of us that he would’ve spent the day with his fiancée," he said, a little perplexed. "Belle, I promise you; I didn't know." They got out of the car, but Isabelle wanted to go back home. She didn't want to be there, she couldn't be there, with Shawn present. She didn't want to make a scene, so she decided that after lunch, she would make up an excuse and leave the villa. The day had been perfect up to this point, a quick lunch with the Graysons, and then she would have gone back home to her father. Marie, Chris, and Shawn approached the two of them. Shawn smiled gazing at Isabelle’s astonished face. He was wearing jeans and a blue shirt that was cov
Isabelle decided to take a walk on the lawn in front of the terrace. In her mind, she saw Frannie and Diana running around her, laughing happily. She loved those two girls and hoped to see them later that day. She approached the large tree that stood in front of her old room. Isabelle looked up and saw the little house in the tree she had asked to be built for the girls. She smiled happily, unaware that Shawn was a few inches away from her and that he was watching her carefully. He was leaning against the terrace door and was silently following her every move. As she was returning to the terrace, Isabelle saw Rosa speak to Shawn. She spoke to him in Spanish and he answered her quickly and fluently in the same language. When she heard what he was saying to Rosa, Isabelle's heart almost stopped and she felt a cold shiver down her spine. Since she
What he just said to her had awakened all Isabelle’s senses... This sweet word torture had to end there! Isabelle raised her trembling arms towards him and wrapped them around his neck, pulling his head down, trying to get Shawn's mouth closer to her body once again."Do you want me to kiss you again, my little Belle?" he whispered.“Yes... Please, Shawn... Please...” Isabelle's frantic sighs excited Shawn. His lips started a captivating dance on Isabelle's warm skin, touching her so imperceptibly that she felt her body touched by a spring breeze. She tried with all her might to bring Shawn's mouth closer to her body, but he resisted her attacks, torturing her on purpose until she started moaning. Only then he allowed her hands to pull his hea
Realizing what he had done, Shawn was stunned. Needless to try to tell her that his intention hadn't been to take her virginity, but he knew she wouldn't believe him. All apologies and regrets won’t ever change what had happened. He had taken her most precious thing... And who knows, maybe she expected him to ask her now to marry him. Obviously, she’ll do it since, like an idiot, he didn’t use a condom, and that there was a risk that Isabelle could get pregnant. Once the dear daddy will find out everything, he will demand that he marry her. He just did something so stupid! Without saying a word, he walked away from her and started dressing. With the hands still trembling, with her face wet with tears cried in silence and full of shame, Isabelle got out of bed. She faltered a little but managed to keep her balance. Isabel
When Billy entered the house, he looked around to see where Belle and Shawn were. He didn't want to disturb them, maybe they had finally been able to understand what they were feeling for each other. Even if what he was feeling for Belle was more than just a friendship, Billy was aware that Belle would never be his woman, that she would never feel for him the love she was feeling for Shawn. Yes, his cousin was treating her badly, most of the times he was patronizing her, and sometimes, he was particularly aggressive with her, but Billy knew Shawn was doing it in order to realize if he was falling in love with a new Jennifer or if Belle was truly the perfect woman made for him. Billy walked around the house and decided to go to the kitchen to hear from Rosa where his cousin and Belle were. But there was no one in the kitchen, not even the
