Carter's POV

I can't believe I'm carrying a vase of flowers and bringing it over to Rosella. I really thought that she was Layla. Fucking Vex and Marcello, how can they be mad and blame me when all I did was ask a question. They could've given the roses to her themselves but no, they are on a business trip in New York.

I enter the building and walk up to the receptionist. She gives me the directions to Rosella's personal assistance office and now I'm holding the roses in the elevator waiting till I get to the 14th floor.

The doors open and I continue to follow the direction that the receptionist gave me until I'm at door. I knock three times.

"Come in." I hear a soft and beautiful feminine voice through the other side of the door and I turn the doorknob to walk in.

I see her writing on a piece of paper and she would look up at the computer and type. Wow, she looks fucking beautiful doing the simplest thing.

I clear my throat which causes her to look up at me and a little smile appears. She has straight black hair and dark-colored eyes. She stands up and goes around her desk and walks towards me.

"Roses?" She asks with her eyebrows furrowed at me.

I get a closer look at her and see that she is wearing a navy blue sheath dress with a pair of black heels and silver earrings. She's perfect.

"Yeah this is from Vex and Marcello Russo, they wanted to give this to Rosella, but they are in New York for a meeting," I tell her.

She scoffs, but takes the vase of roses out of my hands and I feel her soft fingertips graze against my own.

She notices that there was a note and flipped it open and read it. "Really, 'Red roses for our beautiful Rose' that's creative." She says sarcastically.

"My thoughts exactly including Vex's, but Marcello really wanted it on there." I laugh.

"Well Rosella isn't coming in today, she's spending time with family, so I'll just hold onto this and give it to her tomorrow," she tells me.

She turns around and places the vase on her desk. My eyes start to wander lower. Damn, she's got a nice ass too. I really want to bend her over that desk and fuck her all night.

But I guess she could feel my stare and read my thoughts too because the next thing she says startles me. "You know, if you wanted to fuck me, all you had to do is ask." She turns around and once again that beautiful body comes closer to me.

She then comes towards me and starts to mess with the lapels on my brown leather jacket. I look down at her and I see that she is already staring back at me.

She drags her hand down my chest and I let out a deep breath. Why the heck is she making me feel this way. I don't even know her name yet. Wait, fuck I don't know her name yet.

But before I can ask what her name is she pulls on my jacket and smashes her lips against mine. I kiss her right back and I grab her waist tightly. I start to walk forward causing her to take steps back until she hits the front of her desk, she gasps and I take that moment to slip my tongue inside.

I pick her up a bit and lightly place her on top of the desk without breaking our heated kiss. Her hands travel to the top of my jeans and she bites my lip causing me to groan between our kisses. Hey, you know you still don't know her name.

"Mmm mm" I say while pulling away from her full lips. She continues to lean forward but stops when I pull back.

She begins to breathe heavily once our lips break apart she tilts her head and a little pout forms on her lips. Adorable. I move my hand to her face and cup her cheek, "Wait. What's your name?" I ask her while staring at her innocent eyes.

She seemed shocked by what I just asked her but she answers my question, "Mayu, and you?" she asks flatly.

"Carter" I smirk at her and pull her back into our kiss.

Rosella's POV

The next morning my sister Gianna comes to my penthouse to pick me up for our day of shopping.

"Rosella, this place looks so different than the last time we were here. I really love it. It feels like we're back home when mom and dad were with us." Gianna tells me.

"Yeah, I miss them though

"Yeah, I miss them though." I shake my head and try not to think about it too much, or else I'll start crying about the loss of my parents. "Well, we better get to shopping, Gia" I grab my purse and Gianna follows me out the door.

As we are walking around the mall I hear a small squeal from Gia. I turn my head and notice that she is staring at the shop, Victoria's Secret. She pulls me into the place ignoring my protest.

Immediately, Gia's eyes go wide at a lingerie set. I follow behind her but stumble back a bit once she whips her head back and shows me what she was just looking at.

"Look at this red lingerie set. It would look perfect on your tan skin tone." Gia says excitedly.

I mean it would look great on my skin tone and I love the lacing. Why not?

Woah it even has one in black. "I'm grabbing this black one too though." I take the red lingerie out of my sister's hand and start to wander around the store some more.

Gia found a bralett and a beatufiul pantie and bra set.

"You know, you didn't need to pay for my things right? I mean I love you for it, bu-" Gia starts to tell me.

I cut her off before she can finish her sentence. "Please, you've taken care of me all those times when we were little and now look at me. I own my own company because I had the best supporter and helper by my side. This is the least I could do for you Gia."

She needs to know that I wouldn't be owning my own clothing company if it wasn't for her.

Gia simply smiles at me "Fine, but I get to pay for lunch." she giggles and starts walking in front of me.

After eating sushi for lunch, Ross takes Gia back to the hotel, and Liam and Rayla start packing up to go back home to Portland, Oregon.
