Isabella Clairemont lounged in my desk chair, wearing nothing but a black lace bra and panties. My stomach lurched violently.

"Good morning, lover," she purred, stretching languorously. "Sleep well?"

I shot to my feet, nearly falling as the room tilted dangerously. "What the hell is this? Why are you here? Why am I here?"
