Isabella's POV
I 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 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 POV I was on the ground floor of the King Telecom Center. I was a mess of nerves. My mouth was dry, my skin sweaty. The butterflies in my stomach were so active I thought I might fly away.Everything about this idea was wrong.I regretted it as soon as they had called me for an interview. The truth was I applied to the job in a drunken haze with my best friends encouraging me. I had just had a fight with my dad at work, he promised to give me a chance to work at the company but instead he gave the software engineer solutions job to someone else. I have worked all my life to be taken seriously by him. But to him I'm just his little princess and I should just busy my self with shopping and charity organizations.So I got angry and applied for a job in a rival company, my dad will so not be happy about this and they might not even hire me the moment they figure out I'm a Davis.But then when I applied, I also omitted my last name
Carter's tongue slid deftly into my mouth. Oh, sweet lord, this man could kiss.My surroundings completely faded as I lost myself in the kiss. His mouth was firm and warm, his tongue lazy as it danced with mine. My entire body went soft, my muscles turning to jelly while my thighs quivered. I ran my fingers through his silky dark hair. He responded by sliding one hand to my waist, while angling my head with the other in order to deepen the kiss.I moaned into his mouth, unable to stop myself from rubbing against the bulge in his jeans. An answering moan sounded deep in his throat. His fingers tightened over my hip."We should stop," he ground out, breaking the kiss."Probably," I said with a faint smile.And then we were kissing again, and the word stop was blown away by a gust of mutual attraction. This was crazy. I had one-night-stands before, but always with men known for more than twenty minute. And never in an elevator.Yet I couldn't stop the rush of desire s
"What is wrong with you today?" Alessia asks ordering us another round of shots."Nothing." I say with a sigh."Yeah right," Lydia says rolling her eyes at me."Bella honey you got the job you should be happy." She adds hugging me tightly."And I'm so happy. It's just that I have so much on my mind." I say explaining."Like?" They ask in unison. "Just my dad and ofcourse anxiety of starting the job, what if they figure out I'm a Davis and they fire me." I say."They won't, so stop worrying." Alessia says."Okay okay, let's get more drinks." I say, maybe getting drunk could be the best thing for me. Didn't tell my friends about getting trapped in the elevator with Carter, I know they wouldn't judge or anything but still not ready to share it with anyone yet. Plus I can't stop thinking about him.We stay out all night, partying, celebrating and since I'm starting work I probably won't have time to be out my friends so we take advantage of the night.
Carter's POV "Good morning, everyone. I'd like to introduce our newest software crisis manager, Isabella Marino." My eyes glossed over Isabella and then focused on the group instead. "She'll be working directly with me on the incoming project but I want you all to update her on the status of the project." I say. I sat back in my chair and let them start discussing the ins and outs of the massive new project. My attention easily shifted to Isabella.I can't believe she's here, I thought I'll never see her again but kind of hoped I would but the last thing I expected was to have her as our new hire.I'm a very serious man, I have never been in any indecent relationship with any of my staff before but just looking at her flip her gorgeous silky hair, her gorgeous olive skin I can't help but let my thoughts wander back to that day in the elevator.I should have known she was a staff here but I have never noticed her before and Isabella
Isabella's POV A group of us went out for lunch, everyone has been so nice and accommodating. Carter had said to meet him after lunch, so I stopped by Starbucks to grab us both coffees. Didn't know how he liked his coffee so I got thesame thing as mine, black coffee no milk. I take iced coffee in the afternoon so I got that for me but I got him a hot one because he didn't look like he drank cold coffee.I didn't have time to ponder whether I shouldn't have done that or whether I should just focus on my job and let things go but I needed to thank him for helping me ease out of my panic attack the other day."I'm supposed to see Mr King after lunch," I said breathlessly to his secretary."I'll let him know you're here," Ella his secretary said as she picked up the phone.I turned away, suddenly nervous."You can go in," Ella said.I quickly turned and then nodded, taking a deep breath and heading down into his spacious corner office.
Carter's POV I tried to keep Isabella from my thoughts but was unable to stop the forbidden image of what it would be like to have her under me. I had said I will be a professional, no entanglement whatsoever with my staff but the moment she walked into my office everything decent thought went away from my head.Thank God for my mother's call, I'm going to be away for a few days and by the time I'm back I'll be with a clear head. "Mom?" I called out, looking into each room I passed."Out here, Carter," I heard her answer from the back patio.I opened the French doors and was greeted with my mother's smile.I leaned over so she could kiss me. "So why are you out here?""It's such a lovely evening honey." She explains."It's beautiful out here." I agreed with her looking out the view. The whole house is beautiful, it's located in Round hill Greenwich Connecticut which also formally known as one of the best neighborhoods i
Carter's POVEarly the next morning my brother Johnny and I go out to play tennis. Well mainly to spy on our mom's new man friend Henry Osheroff, we found out he spends his morning playing tennis at the club but like he knew we would show up today he didn't. Anyway my brother and I still played tennis and caught up on each other's lives.By the time we made it back home, the house was already set up for brunch. The patio was topped with a massive white pergola, the beams draped in heavy greenery. The centerpiece was a large rectangular table that sat almost 20, it was covered in a soft ivory tablecloth and my mother's favorite china. Decorations and multiple flowers overflowed small silver pitchers running the length of the table, and a wrought-iron candelabra flickered overhead.So we quickly go get ready before guests start to arrive and our mother starts hounding us to get down.Almost an hour later we were all ready and
