LOGINIsabel was still catching her breath, chest heaving, when Isaac turned the shower off. He wrapped a big towel around her and lifted her up again, carrying her bridal style out of the bathroom and straight into his bedroom. He set her down gently on the edge of the bed.She sat there naked, legs a little shaky, fingers gripping the edge of the mattress. Isaac went to his closet and pulled out one of his big black t-shirts and a pair of his boxers. He came back and knelt in front of her.“Lift your arms,” he said.She did, raising them slowly. He slipped the t-shirt over her head and pulled it down her body. It was huge on her, falling to the middle of her thighs. Then he helped her step into the boxers, sliding them up her legs slowly.“You look good in my clothes,” he said quietly, his gaze lingering on her.Isabel did not answer. She was already so tired, eyelids heavy. The second her head hit the pillow she closed her eyes and fell asleep, body sinking into the soft bedding.She wok
Isabel opened her mouth to argue the second he said he would help her shower. “I don’t need your help. I can…”Isaac did not wait. He stepped forward, slid one arm under her knees and the other behind her back, and lifted her up bridal style like she weighed nothing.“Isaac, put me down right now,” she said, her voice sharp even as her good hand grabbed his shoulder for balance.He carried her straight into the bathroom and kicked the door shut behind them. “Today was a good day. Admit it.”She glared at him. “It was fine for the kids. That’s it.”He set her down gently on the tiled floor and reached into the shower to turn the water on. Cold water sprayed out first. He stepped under it without taking his clothes off and pulled her in with him. The cold water soaked his shirt and shorts instantly, sticking the fabric to his body.“You’re getting all wet,” she said.“I don’t care.” He reached for the hem of her shirt and peeled it up slowly over her head. “Lift your arm.”She lifted he
By the time they got inside, Mia was dragging her shopping bag behind her and Zack was yawning so hard his whole face scrunched up.Isabel slipped off her shoes and looked at both of them. “Okay, that’s it. Bedtime.”“No,” Mia said at once, hugging her new dress to her chest. “I’m not sleepy.”“You are rubbing your eyes right now,” Isabel said, crouching in front of her. “Both of you are going to bed.”Zack leaned against the wall. “Can we have a snack first?”Isaac closed the door behind them. “You already had a snack in the car.”“That was a car snack,” Zack said. “Not a bedtime snack.”Mia nodded fast. “Yeah. Different.”Isabel looked over her shoulder at Isaac. “See what you’ve raised in such a short time? they’ve never been like this.”His brows lifted. “Me?”She pointed down the hall. “Go wash your faces. Now.”They both groaned, but they shuffled off together. Isabel followed them to the bathroom and stood by the sink while Mia climbed onto the stool and Zack bumped her shoulde
Isaac was still staring. Isabel shifted on her feet and tried to pull the hem down again, pinching the fabric as she shot him a sharp look. “Can you stop looking at me like that?”Mia slapped both hands over her mouth and squealed. “Mommy is blushing.”“I am not blushing,” Isabel said quickly, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. Isaac’s mouth twitched. “You are.”She shot him a glare and folded one arm across her stomach. “And you need to relax.”“You’re the one wearing that,” he said. Before she could answer, Mia let out a loud scream, and both of them snapped their heads around.“Mia,” Isabel said, rushing over with one hand flying to the side of the dress. Zack had a fist full of Mia’s hair. “She took my candy.”“I did not,” Mia shouted, trying to yank herself free. “I just touched it.”“Let go,” Isabel said sharply, catching Zack’s wrist and prying his fingers loose. Mia stumbled toward her and grabbed her waist. “He pulled me.”“And she stole it,” Zack yelled. Isaac wa
The twins got excited the second the car stopped. Mia pressed both hands to the window and bounced in her seat. “Mommy look, look, they have the big doll shop here too.”“And the candy place,” Zack said, pointing fast. “I saw it. I really saw it.”Isaac unbuckled his seatbelt and glanced at Isabel. “You want me to carry one of them?”She looked at him with narrowed eyes while the twins were staring outside. “I want you to stop acting like this is normal.”“The kids are here.”“I know they are here,” she muttered, pushing her door open.The second Mia turned around, Isabel’s face changed. She smiled and reached back to help her out. “Okay, slow down. Nobody is running off.”A line of security stepped out around them. Zack looked around with wide eyes. “Whoa. Are they all for us?”Isaac lifted him out and set him down. “They’re just making sure you stay safe.”“Like bodyguards?” Mia asked, grabbing Isabel’s hand.Isabel snorted before she could stop herself. Isaac looked at her, catchin
She stood up from the bed without saying a word and began pulling on her clothes right away. Her hands moved fast as she buttoned her shirt and stepped into her jeans then smoothed them down with a quick swipe. Isaac sat up and reached out to catch her arm gently just as she turned toward the door.“Wait a second,” he said quietly.She spun around with her eyebrows furrowed tight and her mouth already opening ready to snap at him. She frowned at him, “you are just there for my pleasure, it could be any other cock with a man attached to it and I would come the same way because I am hormonal and sex starved and one wrong move from you, I'll get it from someone else.”“Don't worry about the police case at all,” he told her as he looked straight into her eyes. “I am getting the best possible team on it and they will handle everything properly so you can relax about that part.”She stared at him for a long moment with her fingers raking through her hair once as she tried to hold back
"What are you doing?" She asked when she saw him shift a little. "We didn't come here to sleep," he teased. She way he'd him closely. He moved closer, one knee pressing into the mattress beside her thigh. “You’re doing good.” Her mouth parted. “What are you going to do to me?” He didn’t a
Her lips parted, but before she could answer, her phone buzzed hard on the counter.The ringtone cut through the steam in the bathroom.She jumped.Her body turned fast, wet feet stumbling a little on the tile. She grabbed a towel, yanked it around her chest, and rushed over to check the screen.Ki
She blinked fast, her chest still rising too quick. “Go to hell.” He didn’t flinch. “Been there. Still didn’t feel worse than watching you walk away.” She froze. His thumb stayed right there between her thighs, warm and unrelenting. “You hate me that much, but your body never lies.” “Shut
Isabel stepped back, her arms folded tight, brows furrowed. “What are you doing here?” Vera’s face was wet with tears already, her lipstick smudged at the edges. “How dare you,” she shouted, her voice shaking. “After everything I’ve done, after everything, I sacrificed to be with him!” Isab
