Bound To Fall

A Personal Tour?

Isabelle

"Someone's up early this morning." I raised a brow as I spoke to Noami who was seated at the kitchen table. "Barely getting in?"

"No." She shook her head before placing her spoon down in her bowl of cereal. "I came right home after closing actually."

Just as she finished her sentence the bathroom door opened, catching both of our attention. I noticed right away the one exiting from the bathroom is Casey, her bartender who I noticed had eyes for her.

"Oh hey Isabelle." He gave a small smile to try to hide his embarrassment. "I'll see you later Noami."

"Sounds good." She waved as he exited the apartment.

I couldn't help the smirk that was making it's way onto my lips. "Couldn't have fed the poor man before you sent him packing?"

"I offered." She responded. "I even offered to go out and get breakfast but he has something he needs to go do."

"I see." I walked over to the table, my luggage dragging behind me. "How exactly did he end up in your bed?"

She swallowed down the cereal she had just taken a bite of. "We were cleaning up, one thing led to another and here we are."

"How was it?" I questioned, for one I'm the one who gets to pry for the dirty details instead of Noami.

"Great actually." She smirked before looking over at my suitcase. "Since I'll be all by myself the next few nights I may need to invite him back."

A small chuckle escaped my lips. "Do whatever you need to do."

I said goodbye to Noami and headed downstairs to the car waiting for me. Henry, the driver Sterling hired to watch over me, helped put my bags in and then we were on our way to the air strip where the jet was located. From the sounds of it Damon has his private jet waiting for us.

It didn't take very long for us to get to the location, Killiand and Sterling were already here. Sterling's assistant Eve was joining us for the trip, I haven't gotten to really talk to her aside from work. That's something I should probably change considering as the assistants to two of the higher positions, we're going to be on multiple trips together in the future.

Henry grabbed my luggage as I got out of the car and walked over to Sterling. I noticed the faint smile on his lips as those icy blues met my gray orbs. Once the gap between us was closed he wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling me in so he could place a peck on my lips.

Then we all got on the jet. My eyes went wide as I took it all in, this thing was even more luxurious than I imagined. It had a lot more room than I expected. By the color scheme of mainly black and grays, it was obvious that this jet had to be something Damon himself had customized.

"Come here." Sterling grabbed my hand and led us over to two seats near one of the windows. "Sit."

I took the window seat and he sat across from me. Once we were all comfortable the pilot came in and introduced himself. He informed us that his name was Charlie and he had been piloting this jet for years.

He then went back into the cockpit and we all got seatbelted right before Charlie came over the speaker to tell us we were taking off. The jet began to move and before we knew it we were up in the air.

To kill some time, I pulled out the laptop I brought in front of me and began to go over any last details for the contract that was going to be discussed. As I did, I noticed Sterling was busy with his own work but kept glancing my way.

"This jet never stops amazing." Killian spoke as he got up from his seat and began to walk around.

"It is pretty cool." I responded, continuing to look at my screen.

"Eve." I could hear the seduction in Killian's tone, causing me to pull my attention away from the computer to watch him get turned down by her for the fourth time in twenty-four hours. "Why don't I take you on a personal tour?"

"That won't be necessary." She kept demeanor professional but I could see she definitely wasn't interested in him. "It's a good sized jet but I can see everything I need to right from here."

"Oh come on." Killian still wasn't going to let up, he's relentless sometimes.

I grabbed a nearby pen, throwing it at him so it hit him in the back of his head. His brows were furrowed as he turned around to glare at me. I noticed Sterling and Eve both holding back their laughter.

"What was that for?" He asked, knowing damn well it was me who had thrown it at him.

I gave him a sardonic smile. "You should be going over your contract, instead of harassing your superior's assistant."

He exhaled a low breath, I could see the defeat on his face as Sterling turned his attention to him. I couldn't see the glare Killian got, but it was enough for him to turn around to face Eve.

"I'm sorry for my actions." Killian apologized. "Won't happen again."

He took a seat and then proceeded to busy himself with his work. He may have backed down now, but I know Killian well enough to know that this won't ruin his days in another state. Just because Eve isn't interested doesn't mean he won't find someone who is by the end of the night.

After going through everything on our own, Sterling called Eve and Killian over to join us as there were two more chairs at this little table between us. We all then proceeded to go over all of the details and what everyone needed to know to be on the same page.

As we did, I watched as Sterling and Eve interacted. I noticed that she had a similar thought process on how to do things. I noticed she was also a step ahead on a couple of things. All in all, Damon had picked a good fit for his son.

We were just finishing up as Charlie came back over the speakers and informed us we would be landing here in a few moments. We all got back into the seatbelts and waited for the jet to make it's landing.

Once it did, we all got up and headed out of the jet. I noticed Sterling's eyes watching me again. The lust and desire within them was apparent, he looked like he was struggling to hold back. However, he was going to have to considering we have a job to do.
