Expressive touch,
Passionate embraces,
Strong hands upon me.
Oh, those hands. They ignited sensations,
Intense and forbidden, Like words unsaid beneath a larger form, a form warmer, wilder, and longer.
Moans beneath his sculpted body, a blend of heaven and transgression.
Pure desire, a carnal dance of sin.
Though prayers for forgiveness may be whispered, The allure lingers,
Drawing me back again and again.
ISABELLA’S POV
If there was something more frustrating, it was having to stay married to a man who was not only old but sexually dull.
I panted as he pumped into me, and I groaned when he pulled out. I wasn’t even close to cumming and he was done fucking me. How long has it been? Barely minutes.
“Honey I have to go now.” He said as he hopped off the bed and walked into the bathroom. Every sexual encounter with him left me with two vivid emotions, frustrated and pissed.
“I know you have to go but I didn’t even get to cum yet, please don’t leave me hanging Edward.” I practically begged. My insides were still hot and I needed him to let me finish at least.
“I’m sorry Bella, but no.” I heard the sound of the shower and I pressed my face into the pillow beside me and screamed out all of my frustrations. I stayed in bed looking at the ceiling wondering when I’d ever get him to finish me off. I heard the sound of the bathroom door opening and him walking out. He was completely dressed. He worked on his cufflinks and his eyes waited for me to help him out but I remained in my position unmoving. There was no way I was going to help him get dressed when he had blatantly refused to help me out.
Once he was ready to go, Edward picked up his suitcase and opened it before tossing out some cash toward me. Without another word, my husband walked out of our room and I was left feeling like a whore who had been paid for such a lousy job she had just performed.
I wasn’t angry though, it wasn’t as if I loved the man. Being married to him sure has brought a lot of inconvenience in my life. First I was not allowed to follow my dreams or have the life that I wanted and was instead forced to marry him to save my father, as his health was falling apart and we didn’t have the money to push his hospital expenses. Such a hero I was.
I wanted to sulk but also pour my heart out. I rolled over to where my phone was and grabbed it. I dialed my best friend’s number and as expected she picked up on the second ring as if she was waiting for me to call.
“You need to keep your phone down sometimes you know,” I told her the moment she answered.
“And if I do I might miss out on everything that’s happening around me, girl. What’s up with you?” she asked and I could sense her concern.
“I think I’m about to lose my mind. Edward has gone on another business trip and I’m supposed to act like a happy wife when I’m not even happy Bri.”
“Oh dear me. Do you need me to come to you?” Brianna asked. She was the one person who fully understood what my life was like. The parents who married me off didn’t know the slightest thing about how their daughter was truly faring.
“Nah it’s alright. I just needed someone to talk to”
“No, what you need is someone to dick you down. I think you should go on a solo vacation. Edward gave you some money right?” I nodded when she asked as if she was looking at me. “Go out and get some time off from everyone Bella, you need it. If the old man asks, just tell him you’re spending the money he gave you.”
“I don’t know Bri, I could get into trouble.” I had one leg curled under me and I bit onto a finger nervously.
“Oh please, you’re already in trouble as it is. You’re stuck in a loveless marriage that doesn’t even compensate you with pleasure; you need to do this for yourself. And don’t even get me started on that brat daughter of his.”
I could already sense her rolling her eyes on the other end of the line and I could help but chuckle.
“And where would you suggest I travel to, it’s not like you’re coming.”
“I don’t know a girl, anywhere. You can go to Portland, I hear it’s a nice place.” She said, sounding unsure. Her idea wasn’t at all bad and I was willing to try out something different and new.
“You know what, I’ll do it. I’ll go to Portland. You’re the best Bri, I’ll just go pack up a few things.” I said to her standing up from the bed.
“You’re welcome babes, just don’t return without a gift for me. I’m not sending you there for nothing.”
“Yes Ma’am” I laughed this time. Of course, she would want something when I got back.
Brianna doesn’t get as much luxury as I do and at any point I could, I made sure to get her a little something.
Within a few hours, I was not only packed and ready to leave but I was also seated on the plane to Portland as Brianna had suggested. The Idea of being alone in a foreign country was terrifying as it was exciting.
As soon as I arrived at the hotel that I picked out on the plane, I was more than nervous. I sat at the edge of the bed with my phone in hand once I shut the door.
“Oh my god, don’t tell me you’re there already.” Her voice squealed on the other side, making me push the phone away from my ear.
“Yes I am and I wish you were here with me.”
“Ugh! I wish. But you know what, now that you’re there, I’ve googled the biggest club in town for you, and before you say it, you’re welcome. You will go out there and get that sexual touch you’ve always craved but have been missing. Do you hear me?"
I smiled at her and giggled my anxiety simmering down. “I hear you loud and clear. Have I told you how much of an amazing friend you are?” I questioned already imagining what it was I was going to wear.
“You can say it more often you know.” She retorted. “You got this Bella. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
I dropped the phone and jumped on the bed excited a few times before rushing over to where my bags were. I rummaged through the entire suitcase and picked out two outfits that were sexy enough yet not too slutty.
Once satisfied with my choice of outfit, I hopped into the shower for a bath making sure to wash my greasy hair and shave off my legs. I hopped out of the shower and proceeded to get dressed. Once my hair was dry, I wore simple makeup with cherry red lipstick that was fit for the night and put on my clothes and shoes. With my small purse in hand, I headed down to the lobby to catch a cab to the club.
I arrived at the club a few minutes later and after showing the bouncer some identification, I was allowed inside, and just like Brianna had promised, the whole place was packed and it wasn’t even that late yet.
My eyes scanned over the area and I could see a few people already on the dance floor and by the looks of it they were already drunk; their sweaty bodies grinded onto each other as they danced to the music. I made my way to the bar to get a drink. The bartender started to work on my drink and I turned for a moment to look some more when my eyes traveled to what seemed like the VIP area.
In an instant, my palms get sweaty, and just as I was about to wipe them off on my dress, I felt my wedding ring shift. I looked down momentarily before tugging the silver piece off. It should have been an object I admired and wanted to show off to people and perhaps another day, but right now I didn’t want to be a married woman much less carry a wedding ring around in search of a man for the night.
There in a corner was a man, beautiful like a demi-god. His jaw was chiseled and his eyes were the bluest I have ever seen. His broad shoulders complimented his dark features giving him the Playboy type of feature. It was as though he sensed that I was staring at him because then his eyes met mine and before I knew it I was transfixed in a daze, lost in his oceanic eyes that called out to me. His lips curled up into a smile and I know for a fact that if I was not sober I would have found my way to him. This man dripped sex and he was the type to make a woman crave him after one encounter. The devil in disguise that can make even the hardest woman to impress commit carnal sex no matter what.
As I gazed upon him, a realization dawned within me: He stood as God's sole archangel of temptation and desire.
My body under his gaze started to get heated. I peeled my eyes from him seeing as there were other women seated close to him, all of them fighting for a spot right next to him. I suddenly felt aware of my surroundings and who I was. He was too good for me, way above my league and I didn’t have the skills to get his attention to rest on me like I craved it to.
ISABELLA’S POVThe bartender pushed my drink towards me and without thinking I picked up the glass suddenly feeling hot and gulped the whole thing down. It burned my throat making me regret why I had not taken my time to drink it like a normal person would. It wasn’t vodka for nothing.Squinting my eyes shut as the burn increased, I placed the cup down as the feeling dissipated. My head spun to the side hoping our eyes would meet again but instead I saw him talking with someone else. It was more of them flirting with each other and from the looks of it, he seemed to be enjoying it. The way she sat close to him didn’t sit well with me and I felt this rage rise up in me. I felt I should be the one by his side instead of that slut.“You’ve only just seen the man Isabella” a voice rang in my head. I didn’t know why but I didn’t want him entertaining anyone but me and knowing that he could choose whoever he wanted to spend the night with just made my skin itch with irritation.I continued
ISABELLA’S POV This man was the epitome of darkness and danger, a man who exuded an irresistible magnetism. His eyes held a mesmerizing power, capable of undressing a woman naked in mere moments. I could sense trouble emanating from him, evident in his every movement, every word he spoke, and the intense way he looked at me. He was the definition of my kind of man. I have always imagined myself being married to a tall man, a handsome walking sex, and a little muscle-packed. The moment we got to his door and he opened it for me, I stumbled inside. The whole place was dark but not entirely. I was able to make out the living room and where the staircase was located. We shuffled through the living room and barely made it in before his hands found my waist and he pulled me to him. As I bumped into him, I huffed out some air from the impact. My hands went over to the back of his head and I tiptoed despite wearing heels to reach his height. My lips soon found his and it felt like I was h
ISABELLA’S POVI awoke to the sound of my phone ringing, I hastily sat up in an attempt to locate it. To my surprise, it was nowhere near the bedside table. The room spun around me and dizziness surged through me. My head banged like I had been hit by a truck and I could only manage one eye open. The brightness of the morning shone into the room and I could already tell that I was not in my hotel room. scrambling through the sheets and noticing that another person was in bed with me, I hurriedly answered when I saw that the caller was my mother.“Mom? Is everything okay?” I asked my hand on my chest as my heart began to race.“No Bella, your father has been rushed to the hospital, it's bad this time.” She said and I knew that I had to get there.“I’ll be on my way as soon as possible, don’t worry Mum, he’ll make it through, and he always does,” I told her before hanging up the phone to convince myself about the latter part. My father always has an episode and each time especially now
ALEXANDER’S POV “It’s good to have you back son, I was wondering when you’d be taking over the company.” My father said his voice filled with pride. “He doesn’t want to take over the company Dad, he’s mentioned that before.” Lucas chimed in the discussion. “Would you rather go back to serving other people and helping their businesses grow or would you take over ours and build on it?” Disappointment and disdain were what I felt and I could care less what my father was talking about. There before was the woman who gave me the best night of my life besides my father as his wife. The morning I woke up I thought she’d be there like the rest of the women I had taken home with me. To find the house empty made me want her even more because I knew she was different. She had her head down, unable to look up at me or anyone else. The only people who weren’t eating were myself and her. “Fuck!” I didn’t like this one bit. I knew she was married but still, I wanted her, and I hate that I still
ISABELLA POVHis father twisted the door knob and pulled on it. I realized then that he hadn’t locked the door when he entered.I was in an intimate position right now, if Edward walks in on this it is going to be chaotic. I pushed Alexander away with all the force in me because he was a very strong man.“Isabella ... are you okay in there?”I heard Edward's voice, my head was messed up and everything was happening too fast for me but I managed to sprint to the door before he could come in fully.“Uhm...yes honey, I’m...I’m okay” I rushed outside pushing him a little. My heart was beating hard and fast in my chest, it felt like I had been doing something wrong and I got caught but in this case, I was almost caught.“I noticed that you were taking a lot of time so I came to check if you’re doing okay” he looked genuinely concerned and that made me feel a pinch of guilt. But how do I tell him that his son is the reason I took time to return to the dining, that I was having some fun with
ALEXANDER POV“…I’m here to announce that Alexander, as you have seen, is going to be living with us since he can’t stay with Lucas at his house,” Edward said“So you mean in this same building, under the same roof with us?”I stopped in my tracks. That was her voice. Isabella, inquiring if I’ll stay back or not. A flare of anger pulsed through me. This was the woman I had searched for all rounds of Portland, only to find that she was not there. Did she understand what it means to search the whole of Portland and not find her?I stepped forward with a smirk on my face. “Heck, are you trying to chase me away already?”She jolted at the sound of my voice. “Uh, no, no. I was simply asking if you’ll be staying here with us or not.”“So, what does that matter? Do you not want me here? Is that why you’re asking, so I’ll leave?”I relished the embarrassed flush of pink that came to her face and spread to the roots of her hair.“No,” Isabella said. “I want you to stay, of course. You can stay
ISABELLA POVIt was the quiet that woke me up. The kind of quiet that made me realize how very beautiful quiet mornings were. Usually, it was either Edward asking me to open my legs, or the sound of his brat daughter running down the halls.The point is, it usually was so noisy. I yawned as I stretched, touching the other side of the bed. My eyes opened in a flash. Edward wasn’t there, he really wasn’t. Somewhat elevated and smiling now, I sat up. Edward’s absence was fulfilling; he had woken up and left for work without forcing me into an excruciating sex act.I stood up. There was an ache between my legs, and it seemed to deepen each time I took a step. I knew what it was, after all, it was the thought of Alexander that kept me turning all night, relishing the thought of him being inside me again. I wouldn’t have been so needy if he hadn’t shown up and I relived the night we had spent together over and over.I washed my face in the bathroom sink before heading out of my bedroom. Tru
ALEXANDER POVI gripped her hair and pounded inside her, fast and mercilessly. Her front was against the wall of the bathroom and her head was against my back, causing a deep arch in her angle.“God, Alex, yes. Please don’t stop.”“You like that?” I practically growled in her ear. “You like the way I’m riding you right now?”“Yes, daddy.”I smacked a hand against her bum, hard. It bounced on my dick with her jerk, pushing me closer to the edge.“I’m not your fucking daddy,” I practically growled in her ear. “You hear that?”“Yes da—Alex.”“Good.”I smacked her ass once more and she moaned, the bounce and jerk once again bringing me closer to the edge. I gripped her throat and slammed hard into her, gnashing my teeth as I did that.“Oh,” Isabella moaned. “Oh yes, please.”“Does my father fuck you like this?” I asked, only because a twinge of jealousy unfurled within me.She gripped my thighs and said nothing. Isabella’s eyes rolled to the back of her head as I continued my onslaught on
ALEXANDER POVWe lay now in her bed, rumpled and all over each other. She was on her side as she stared at me, those dark orbs portraying so many emotions. I remember the very first day I met her. I hadn’t been able to see her eyes quite well, but then I could tell that she wanted me and fought deeply against it until she finally gave in. It feels like ages now. Now I watched her, wishing I could tell her so many things and nothing at the same time.“We need to talk,” I said, my mint breath washing over her face. “We have so much to talk about, don’t you think so?”She squeezed her face into a frown. “No, I don’t think we need to talk about anything.”“Isabella, you know I have to explain the situation to Madison. It’s not what you think it is.”“I don’t care what it is, Alex. I just don’t want to talk about it now. Can we not ruin the mood, please?”I nodded slowly. I didn’t understand her. She had practically jumped on me when she found out that Madison and I were now together. She
ISABELLA POVWe took a walk around the plane to the hotel I was in. I didn’t remember following him out right after I gave him that hot slap, but I did. Eventually, we sat under a bamboo cover at the outdoor bar of the hotel. The sun was bright, and the pool was empty. It would have been the perfect day to swim and wallow in sadness, but the source of my sadness was right in front of me.His face was blank and expressionless. He ordered drinks for the both of us; so natural, so neutral, as though we had not been fighting for the past few weeks, and abandoned me for some other girl. When the drinks came, he slowly pushed one towards me with a small smile.“So this is where you’ve been hiding,” he said dryly. “Suiting, I suppose, for the kind of person that you are.”I shook my head at him, somewhat surprised by his choice of language. “And what type of person am I, Alexander? The one who is married to your father or the one that you should just not mess with?”He looked away instantly,
ISABELLA POVI woke up with a soft warmth in my chest. Alexander was with me. I stretched and yawned in bed, tapping the other side of my bed with a grin on my face. I expected him to be there, to reach for me as I had reached for him, to wrap me in his arms.He was not.I opened my eyes and gasped when I realized that I was alone in bed. I sat up in urgency, my eyes quickly scanning the room. It was a mess. It was as though someone had snuck in and made love to me. It was Alexander. It had to be. My bed was a mess. The bottle of wine I had brought in lay on the floor, and the wine spilled. My bikini lay in the puddle of the spilled wine, and the white duvet from the bed had also fallen to the ground, stained by the wine too. The bedside table was pushed to the corner, its contents on the floor.“What the hell…”I didn’t even have the time to assimilate what was happening when a loud knock came on the door. I jumped, a bit startled. Then I drew my hands through my hair and tried to or
ISABELLA POVI woke up to an empty room and silence. It was the third time I was waking up that day, and this was only my second day on the vacation Edward had placed me on. I slowly got down from bed and rubbed my eyes, my worry seeping into the ends of my skull. How long would I continue living like this, yearning for someone I could never have again? Someone who’s so obviously moved on?I walked to the window and looked down from my hotel room. The view overlooked the pine trees and the pool the hotel had, plus the bar that had very few people in it. This was good. I could go down and have a few beers and try to associate. Or I could just soak myself in the water and sun. That would be even better.“Time to get your act together, Isabella,” I told myself.Taking a shower was long and tiring, but I managed to get past it. Then I slipped into a bikini and a wrap and walked out of the room. The fresh air was pleasant and nice, but it was not enough. Somehow the air back home seemed mu

ALEXANDER POVI watched her walk past me without an atom of emotion in her hers. She had averted her gaze when we had locked eyes earlier on, her purpose now solely to leave and get away from my presence as fast as possible. Each time she did this, I couldn’t help but think about how much she must despise me to want to leave my sight as soon as she saw me.Lucas gazed at me as I walked past him, a knowing smirk on his lips. I hated it. I hated it so much that I wanted to reach for him and punch that smile into his face. I hated that he was hanging around Isabella a little too much. I hated that he looked like he held a sort of secret above me while he was the criminal stealing from our father’s company. I hated that he called me little bro just to undermine me in that very sentence as if he was any better than me. I hated him. I hated myself for hating him. I hated life.I suddenly stopped in the hallway, Madison still latched on to my arms. She was so into me that she barely noticed
ISABELLA POVThere was a helicopter waiting for me at Edward’s request in the morning. I gasped when I saw it, jumping out of bed and rushing to the window to gawk at it. He came up behind me with a wide grin on his face.“You’re going to Miami,” he whispered as he wrapped his arms around.As usual, I was tempted to maneuver out of his embrace because it did not feel like home to me, but I held back that feeling. He was not Alexander and will never be, so it was better for me to look past all those feelings now and move on with my life just as Alex had.“I can’t believe this,” I gushed, truly happy at the sight. “When you mentioned mini vacation I really thought you were bluffing.”“I would never bluff at something like that. I really did mean it.” He squeezed me a little harder in his embrace. “There is just something I need you to do for me.”I was tense. “What?”He seemed to notice my tension because he patted my forearms in comfort. “It’s nothing serious, darling. There’s a docume
ALEXANDER POVI felt my blood boiling. I wanted to do something, but there was nothing else to do other than hold the scarf in my hand and seethe in anger. There was a red handprint on her face, so glaring and so visible. It only had to have happened today.Isabella grabbed the scarf off my hands with a sigh. “Don’t do that,” she said, wrapping it around her face once more.“You’re being abused,” I said smoothly. “Dad, you’re abusing her?”“I’m not abusing her,” he said sharply“He’s not abusing me,” Isabella said just at the same time as well.They glanced at each other at their words, then quickly looked away. There was something that passed between them that I couldn’t understand, a silent message. The anger started to boil so fast, I could see steam coming out of my ears.“You’re abusing her!” I accused, slamming my hand hard on the table and causing my father to jerk. “Why are you doing this to her, huh? When has she ever wronged you?!”The businessmen shifted in their seats, uns
ALEXANDER POVEverything around me felt slow and dull. My hands were slack, tied by so many things—responsibilities, Madison, the company. The little ray of sunshine I had left had been snuffed out. This little dinner my father was putting together would not help matters, especially since I would see Isabella there. It didn’t matter if I had been sinning with her for the longest time. It didn’t matter if she was never mine to begin with and I had taken what was not meant for me. It didn’t matter if she hated me now and never wanted to look at my face. All I thought of was how much my heart ached at her absence.I heard Lucas laughing and I went towards the sound, eager to find something else to distract me. I stopped halfway when I saw him leaning over Isabella in the space between the kitchen and the corridor. He was smirking and muttering some words to her. Her face was upturned to his attentively. Even though I couldn’t completely see her face, I knew that she was listening intentl
