Isabella's POV
My friends called asking me to join them for dinner today after work but Carter asked me to dinner so I told them I couldn't make it. Some work thing, I told them not providing anymore details. He wanted to have dinner with me and I was so excited, immediately I got off work I went home to take a quick shower and get ready.
I finished getting ready and he still hasn't called to confirm or tell me where to meet him, God I sound so pathetic waiting for a man.What if he said dinner but he meant sex? Oh God he really might have, meant just sex and was I getting ready to have dinner with him.I was overthinking about everything when he finally called. And before he even said anything I heard it in his voice, he was calling to cancel."Isabella, can we rain check tonight? Got caught up with something." He says through the phone and I nod yCarter's POV I was staying away from Isabella or rather she has been ignoring me. I called her multiple of time but she never answered or returned any of my calls. The last time I saw her she was out to dinner with her friends and I was out with my sister. I had caught glimpses of her around the office and I debated summoning her to my office, I was her boss afterall but I decided against it she'll eventually have to face me. Being intimate with an employee of mine was never something I thought I would be involved in but since meeting her things have changed for me.It's Saturday, meaning my mother's charity gala, the event I have been dreading. The whole of the elite in New York City will be in attendance, which is not somewhere I wanted to be but I have to go anyway to support my mother.I was standing around with my best friend George and my brother Jo
Isabella's POV I avoided Carter the whole week, when he called I didn't answer. I thought he would call my desk and summon me to his office since he is my boss and all but he didn't he only called my private number 3 three times and when I didn't answer or return his calls he didn't call again.So I put myself into my work, keeping myself busy. It's finally Saturday, today is my grandmother's charity gala event. It was one of those big parties, the kind where so many A list people are invited that you're only going to know a handful of people there. Usually my dad, my grandmother and I go to this parties as a family together but this time I told them I'll meet them there.I was dressed in a black fitted Valentino dress, the soft silky material cradled my breasts perfectly showing the right amount of cleavage not anything wild but classy, the dress hugged
Isabella's POV Both Carter and I kept quiet as we entered the limo and didn't say anything till we pulled into traffic."Are you going to tell me why you were ignoring my calls?" Carter asks breaking the silence.I look over to him and smile."Probably not." I say."Isabella." He says my name sternly but also with a playful smirk on his face."I don't sleep with men who are seeing other women." I say."I'm not seeing other women," he says."I thought you were, I mean when I saw you out on a date few days ago." I explain."I was with my sister, you just met her." Carter says with smirk."Yeah but I didn't know that." I say."So you were jealous?" He asks with a grin."I wasn't." I say a little too quickly and he laughs.Finally the car pulls over at the front of Carter's apartment. His driver opens the door for us and both Car
Isabella's POVI think too much. It's exhausting. Usually, I'm consumed with non-stressful thoughts of my life. But there's been a breach. Ever since last night staying over at Carter's, I've analyzed every nook and cranny of why Carter and I didn't have sex. I mean we made out alot, we both had an orgasm but we didn't actually have sex. I should feel good about everything but it's only meant to be sex between us, he said so and I agreed.But being comfy with him in his penthouse, just watching tv and eating looks dangerously close to a relationship. When I wake, Carter is already up sitting up on his bed beside me reading something on his iPad with his full concentration. It's Sunday, I have dinner with my dad and grandma later so I should finally be going home. Rest a little before I head over to my father's place."Good morning," Carter says droppin
Carter's POV I lay next to Isabella listening to the soft sounds of her breathing. She was warm and soft against me and I was gripped by an odd contentment.I do not cuddle or have sleep overs with women. I do not as a matter of fact bring women to my apartment but with Isabella I wanted to do things different and I don't know why.I glanced at her closed eyes, at her tousled hair and the swell of her breast pressed to my side. I had imagined that after spending a whole day with her, fulfilling my initial lust for her, I would gain control of this seeming obsession, that I would be able to settle and treat this as other sexual arrangements I have had with women in the past. If anything, spending more time with Isabella had only sharpened the edge of my arousal for her. I am hungry for more. In no way had fucking her diminished my burning need for he
Isabella’s POVAfter Carter came to my desk earlier, I was bombarded by questions from my co workers.Apparently he has never been to anyone else’s desk, he practically just summons people to his office.“What was that about?” Ryan asks, he sits desk to me.“Nothing, he just wants an update on the program I’m working on.” I say lying.“Okay, I was almost scared for you.” He says.“Why?” I ask.“Thought he was going to fire you, he always looks so so serious.” Ryan explains and I nod okay.By 5pm I go to Carter’s office, he had asked me to wait for him there.His secretary directs me inside, telling me he’s still in his meeting but he said I should wait for him.I sit down then stand up, nervously waiting for him. You would think I wouldn’t be nervous around the man after
Isabella’s POV The next day I’m super nervous and anxious just waiting to be called to Carter’s office so he can officially tell me he knows everything about me, after the paparazzi debacle last night.But I don’t hear from him all day during office hours, I do receive a text message from him though telling me he’ll stop by my apartment after work.So when I got home, I took a quick shower and change into something more comfortable. Shorts and a T-shirt. I tell the doorman downstairs to let Carter up when he arrives, I had just settled in my couch looking for what to watch when he arrived.“Hi.” I say smiling nervously leading him into my apartment. “Do you want something to drink?” I a
Isabella’s POVBy the next day I’ve rattled myself immensely with overthinking. What the hell is going on between Carter and I? Do I want something more and can I even have something more.I don’t see him at work till around lunch, I grab my purse and head into the elevator finding him in when it opens.We both look at each other silently, I wait for him to step out but he doesn’t so I enter standing beside him quietly not saying anything.He doesn’t say anything till we start going down and he abruptly presses the stop sign, halting us.“I’m sorry about yesterday.” He said caging me to the steel wall and burning me with a searing gaze.“I know I can&rs
Isabella’s POVA helicopter just dropped us at our villa in Milan for our honeymoon, we just got married exactly 5 hours ago.We haven’t exactly been alone in months so when Carter looked at me with those hungry eyes I knew what it meant, I have been looking at him like that every single minute of every day.His hungry eyes drop down my body and, as if unable to help it, he runs his hand down my chest and cups my breast through my white ethereal wedding dress. “I like you dressed like this.”“I prefer you naked,” I retort and he smirks.He puts me over his shoulder and marches up the hallway to the bedroom, he slowly slides me down his body
Isabella's POVI gave birth to our beautiful baby boy Leo 6 weeks ago. We didn’t know the sex of the baby till after I gave birth, Carter had guessed a girl and I guessed a boy and I was right.That didn’t change the fact of how happy we both were, Leo is beautiful. He is perfect.Having a child truly is like having a piece of your heart outside your body, and that feeling is both as wonderful and as terrifying as it sounds.Our family and friends all came to visit us in the hospital, everyone so happy for us. My dad was especially happy when we named the baby after him Leo.We only stayed a few days in the hospital before we finally went home. To our home, which we had renovated making it ours.
Isabella's POVMy mother had come over to New York, I had only seen her once since I told her I was pregnant and that was months ago. I’m now 7 months heavily pregnant, she came to visit for only a day and Carter and I took her out to dinner to also celebrate our engagement with her.We had an amazing dinner before she went back to New Jersey immediately after dinner, it was good to see her. I like having her around but I almost never see her, I mean she has a whole new family with her husband which sometimes makes me jealous that she isn’t that much in my life but I try not to let it bother me that much. Besides I have my father around all the time and he loves me very much. I don’t even miss her that much with my father around, he makes it up by being in my life constantly.My mother and Carter have also set up a r
Isabella’s POVCarter and I have decided to make it official we’re now living with each, we’re renovating his penthouse. Making it our home, adding in a nursery for our baby.After a day of selecting color scheme for the nursery I went to our bed, crawled under the covers, and fell asleep with a smile on my face.Carter woke me up two hours later. His lips were skimming my shoulder, his fingers lazily tracing down my waist, over my hip. He was behind me, curved around me, molded to me. “Are you awake?” he whispered.I made a soft moaning sound to let him know I was.He kissed a spot below my ear, and then he asked, “Is this okay?” As he kis
Isabella’s POV “I think I should go.” I say dropping my fork everyone around the table eyes on me.“Are you okay baby? Do you feel fine?” Carter asks concern flashing across his face.We’re having dinner with his family in his childhood home in Connecticut. We had made plans to have dinner with his mother weeks ago but she was going on a cruise with her new boyfriend so we postponed it to when she was back.She got back yesterday and we’re a family dinner to celebrate my pregnancy. Everything was fine when we arrived, she gave Carter a hug kissing him and she also hugged me congratulating me. Telling me how happy she was to have a grandchild.Then we sat down for dinner and she started.
Isabella’s POVI wake up from my nap almost an hour later checking the time to see it’s 1:30am in the morning. Carter isn’t back in bed yet so maybe he isn’t yet back. I put on a silky robe over my next to nothing sleepwear going downstairs to find something to eat. My sleeping pattern is still messed up and this baby growing inside me is deeply in love with anything cheesy.Using the service in house elevator to go down kitchen, I hear voices coming out from the kitchen.I walk in joining them finding Carter and his brother Johnny and sister Stephanie they’re all laughing and talking about something when they notice me.“Bella!” Steph exclaims excitedly jumping down from her stool to hug me.
Carter’s POVI’m with Isabella back in my place__our place I’d like to think, she has been asking me to tell her what I talked about with her father since last night. And it’s not like I’m refusing to tell her about our conversation, I just don’t know what her reaction is going to be.“Isabella,” I say in a singsong voice. “Come on, talk to me.” I kiss the delicious column of her neck and bite down on her earlobe.She jolts, which makes her tits bounce, and I can’t believe the stirring that occurs in my groin.“Why wouldn’t you tell me what you talked about.” She asks.“Because it’s not anything you should be worried about, it wa
Isabella’s POV I called my mother immediately I went back home telling her I’m pregnant, she was happy and promised to come into the city next week to take me to lunch so we can celebrate. Then I go out to brunch the next day with my best friends Lydia and Alessia, I update them about everything and almost immediately they start planning a baby shower for me which is insane. I’m only 8 weeks pregnant, I’m not even yet showing.Finally it’s Saturday we’re having dinner with my father and grandmother, I’m very nervous and Carter is barely nervous which is weird because he should be.“Are you ready?” I ask Carter before we enter the elevator up to my father’s penthouse.“Yes I&
Isabella’s POVI’m meeting my father in the country club, he just got back from he traveling yesterday. Normally when we meet at the country club, we have lunch and play golf or sometimes tennis. It’s like our thing, besides I’m kind of a daddy’s girl well when we’re not fighting about how he still treats me like I’m some defenseless little girl.I’m greeted by one of the country club workers Austin as I step in.“Good afternoon Miss Davis.” He says opening the door for me.“Afternoon Austin and like said please call me Isabella.” I say with a smile. “Is my father already here?” I add asking.“Yes he’s outside on the patio,&rdquo
