CHAPTER 12
When I left the office I didn't know I was going to show up at Isabella's apartment but somehow I found myself there. She was surprised to see me and she didn't turn me away which was a good sign after I bailed on Friday to go see Emma I thought she wouldn't want me here.
We walked silently into her apartment, I watched her go in and drop her purse and remove her shoes before I finally stepped in, taking in the impressive view of her apartment.She was at the window when I stepped in, her head had shifted toward the sound of my footsteps, though she didn't completely turn to face me."Friday was cut short." I said watching her.I took a step toward her, against every instinct in my body. "It was fun, though, wasn't it?" I said again and she nodded yes blushing. As brief as it was. It was. It really was.Then I inched closer and she inched closer.We were so close I couldRelated chapters

Carter's POV I haven't called or texted her like I said I would, since I left her apartment on Friday. Today is Monday and I have been eager as hell to get to work so I can see her.I am absolutely crazy because I have only known her for less than a month and I wanted to be with her almost all of the time, and not just naked and wild. I just wanted to be near her, and my own need for self-preservation had been plaguing me all weekend.Immediately I got into my office, I battled the idea of calling her into my office but finally decided against it. She'll be deep in meetings mostly all of today, so I might just have to see her later I told myself.I had just opened my computer when my best friend George Sanford busted into my office."So you're alive and well." He says sitting down opposite me with a frown."Ofcourse I'm alive and well." I say.
Cruel Intentions CHAPTER 14
Isabella's POV Carter said I'll call you, before he left my apartment on Friday. He didn't call or text all weekend, normally when a man tells me I'll do something and he doesn't do it I get pissed but with Carter, I wasn't pissed in fact I spent the whole weekend waiting for Monday so I can see him at work.I buried myself in my work all morning and then just when I was about to head to my meeting in the conference room, I saw Carter. He was with a woman by the elevator, and suddenly I couldn't breathe. Is this maybe Emma? Because she is gorgeous. I quickly looked away and was about to leave when he looked up, and I drank in the sight of him.He asked me to his office and I followed him. When we were finally alone in his office, away from prying eyes. His gaze connected with mine and there was a flare

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 y
Cruel Intentions CHAPTER 16
Carter'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
Cruel Intentions CHAPTER 17
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
Cruel Intentions CHAPTER 18
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
Cruel Intentions CHAPTER 19
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
Cruel Intentions CHAPTER 20
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
