Sienna couldn’t concentrate on anything for the rest of the day. Lucas’s expression, his words, his kiss, his hot body, everything kept on floating in her head and she simply gave up working and lay back on the sofa, closing her eyes. Along with his thoughts came back the hurt that she had gone through. No, she wouldn’t give in. She wouldn’t be his wh*re. Surely she had misheard his declaration of love. How could someone so famous, so handsome and so much beyond her league, love her, a simple nurse?
The next day she had a meeting and consultation with James Price as well as her Finance team. Getting ready, she dashed out of the house, locking the door securely. Just as she turned to go to the garage, her eyes popped out seeing Lucas climbing out of his car. What was he doing here so early in the morning?
“What are you doing h
After an hour of discussions, they wrapped up the meeting. Everyone left the office but Lucas didn’t budge an inch, sitting at his seat and watching her with hooded eyes.“How did you find my office?” She asked him with curiosity. Lucas smiled his skew little smile and yet didn’t look away.“I have my ways, Sienna. I told you that I’ll pursue you till you give in to me again,” he said emphasizing the word ‘again'.“It’s useless, Lucas. Why are you so adamant about pursuing me? I have my neck-deep in this mess. I really don’t have the mental condition to talk about all this,” she told him with a serious look on her face.“Let me get you out of this mess, Sienna. Please,” he begged he
Before Lucas could ask for her forgiveness, their food arrived. The delicious aroma made her stomach grumble with hunger. “Looks delicious!” Said Sienna excitedly attacking the tuna melts first. Lucas watched her with interest as he ate his sliders.“Do you want a taste?” She asked excitedly. Lucas would have been aghast at the idea usually. He hated sharing at restaurants. It looked so cheap and low class! However, he was eager to share with Sienna. He had no idea why.“Sure, open up,” he said, feeding her some of his food. Sienna closed her eyes and chewed. A soft sigh of pleasure escaped her.“Even dad used to share it with me,” she pointed out.“Hmm, but I’m not your dad,” said Lucas with a small
The invitation was enough for Lucas to lose the last thread of control that was keeping him intact till now. His arms snaked around her and he pulled her closer, his mouth inches away from hers. “What are you offering me?” He whispered.“My soul, my heart, my love,” she answered, making his eyes glitter devilishly.“Tell me more,” he prompted her, his hot breath fanning her face.“I love you, Lucas,” she whispered, closing her eyes and waiting for him to claim her completely. Lucas closed the rest of the space between them and claimed her lips in a hungry and intense kiss. Sienna tightened her hold around his shoulders, her fingers caressing the soft hair at the nape of his neck. Lucas’s hand tangled into her hair, steadying her head to dominate the k
The next whole week was very hectic for Sienna as she toiled hard at the office, coping with new situations, new problems, trying to follow the plans that have been chalked out, meeting, and discussing the course of action with the old department heads under whom the company flourished. It was a lot of hard work. Lucas came in briefly during the day, whenever he could take time off from his busy schedule. He traveled to Singapore on a short trip and Sienna missed him immensely the next weekend. The whole week she had tried her best to immerse herself in work but the nights seemed to eat her up. She just couldn’t sleep! Saturday too she had a meeting with James Price but after a whole day’s work when she returned home, she felt like bursting into tears. The walls felt like they were converging upon her and she felt lonely and depressed.After dinner, Sienna just prepared to go to bed with a heav
It was the laziest Sunday of all and Lucas seemed to be happy just lying in bed, trapping her with his body. After the hottest lovemaking session ever, Sienna lay against his chest to gain the energy to go to the kitchen and prepare breakfast. “Let’s go to granny’s house today. I want you to meet Alexia,” said Lucas.“Sounds great! I’ll quickly make some breakfast,” she said, getting up.“We can have all our meals there. You don’t need to cook. Maria will take care of everything. Just pack your essentials for the day and let’s go,” said Lucas. Sienna grinned, loving the plan.“I’ll take a shower first,” she told him. Lucas wore a pair of sweatpants and went to make coffee. Although he was fit, he still used that same old
It was decided that they would all go to Nicholas's friend’s beach front villa on Long Island. Lucas and Sienna would join them later after taking Alexia to visit the Central Park Zoo. Since granny and Lucas’s mom were unable to walk so much, they opted out of the Central Park trip. Although wheelchairs were available, they preferred to relax on the beach instead. So, Marcus drove his mom, granny, and Maria to the beach house while the rest of them went to the zoo. Alexia had the time of her life watching and feeding the animals. She pulled Nicholas along to see the various exhibits like the Snow Leopard Area, the Central Garden and the Sea Lion Pool, the Polar Circle, the Temperate Territory, the Tropic Zone, or the Rainforest. They went to the Tisch Children Zoo as well just in time for the animal feeding.Lucas and Sienna followed them lazily, hand in hand, having all the time in the w
Sienna fell asleep on the way back. No one disturbed her. Alexia got down reluctantly at her granny and great granny’s house although she wanted to stay with Lucas and Sienna.“Let me get your room ready, Alex. Then I’ll take you home with me,” promised Lucas, kissing the top of her head tenderly.“Yeah, I get it. Bye, dad,” said Alexia. Lucas drove home looking a little worried about Sienna. Despite their chatting, she hadn’t woken up even once. He parked the car and picked her up in his arms and carried her to the elevator. Sienna opened her eyes and looked at him with embarrassment.“Lucas, what are you doing? I can walk,” she said, looking around to see the guards staring at them.“I
It was the last proper meal Sienna could have before dozing off to sleep. Lucas was quite concerned about her and decided to take her to the doctor the next day. He lay down beside her and tucked in the stray curl that fell over her face. He knew that she might have gone through a lot in his absence. Maybe all that stress had taken a toll on her health. It was just ten o’clock and Lucas just lay down staring at a sleeping Sienna. He would have to take matters in own hands and solve all her problems as soon as possible. Her stubbornness was making her fall sick.His phone suddenly vibrated with an incoming call from James Price. Lucas frowned with concern and got up from the bed. Striding out of the room not wanting to disturb Sienna, he took the call at last.“Yes, Mr. Price, tell me,” he asked at last.
Eight Months Later“Ma, Addy caught my finger. I think he doesn’t want me to go to school,” said an excited Alexia. Since the moment her baby brother, Adrian was born, Alexia had suddenly matured and started behaving like the big sister she was. She even helped Sienna take care of him knowing that her ma needed to heal from childbirth.“He loves you, sweetie. You’re his big sister after all! But you can play with him after school,” said Sienna. Lucas smiled at the three of them as he got ready for work. With Sienna recuperating from childbirth, he was managing Accord Bioscience as well, along with his own business. Alexia smiled and kissed her baby brother.“I’ll come home soon, okay Addy?” she said in a cute baby voice which Adrian seemed to love. Last week when Adrian wa
The next morning everyone was in the brightest of spirits. There was excitement in the air, the girls giggled more at the breakfast table, everyone pampered Sienna more. She glowed and blushed under all the attention that was being showered upon her. Marcus walked in with a goofy grin on his face which turned into a scowl when he saw Alexander and Ashton at the breakfast table. Everyone tensed, sensing trouble.“Please don’t fight today,” pleaded Lucas’s mom. Marcus went to sit with Nicholas without a word. It was strange that Alexander and Ashton too didn’t say a single word to him. Alyssa shared a look of relief with Sienna.Things settled down and after breakfast, Sienna went upstairs to get ready. With everything falling into place in the nick of time, Sienna looked blissfully happy and excited. She had been waiting for t
Lucas heaved a sigh of relief with Alexander and Ashton gone to their rooms. He shared a look with Sienna. Would their wedding happen at all with the enemy here? But little did they know what other drama was awaiting them. Lucas called Marcus for the tenth time and thankfully, he picked up the call this time.“I’ll be on my way bro,” said Marcus.“Alexander and Ashton are here. Granny has pacified them and they’re keeping low. Please try to avoid them, Marc. I don’t want any more problems before the wedding!” warned Lucas. Marcus gasped hearing his brother’s words.“What the f*ck are those two doing there?” he asked gritting his teeth.“They’ve come for the girls, Alyssa, Eva,
Lucas’s mom went rushing upstairs to Sienna’s room to see that Eva had managed to revive Sienna. She was lying on her bed quietly with her eyes closed. “Stop fretting so much, Sienna. We will find it,” said Lucas’s mom. She sat by Sienna’s bed and stroked her head.“I’m sorry, mom. I failed you,” said Sienna, feeling miserable. Granny who had been resting in her room too came to see Sienna. She heard what was going on.“Search under all the clothes. It might be hidden in between some folded clothes,” said granny.Alyssa searched as asked and yet couldn’t find anything. The men came over from their trip. Lucas rushed into the room followed by Marcus and Nicholas.“Sienna?
The next day, the whole family gathered for Sienna’s bridal shower. Skylar came with Christian St. James who instantly clicked with the Donnelly brothers. They went exploring on the yacht while the women celebrated with Sienna. With only a day left for the wedding, they planned a spa party where they all helped one another groom up. Pam, Maria, and Cara too helped.“Cara, where did you learn hairdressing?” Asked Sienna, seeing the innovative hairstyle she had done for her. Cara blushed at the attention. She preferred to stay in the background and hardly spoke the entire time that she was there with them.“I worked at a salon for a month, ma’am,” she said quietly.“Please call me Sienna,” said Sienna with a warm smile. Cara smiled back, liking her inst
Sienna’s friend Hayley arrived next and they again caught up with one another. With Alexia gone on a fishing trip with Marcus and Sienna’s friends gone for a swim, Lucas sneaked into his bedroom to catch a moment with Sienna. He joined her on the bed and kissed her sweet mouth lingeringly. “We were so happy with each other and now with everyone here, I’m not liking it one bit,” he complained. Sienna kissed him back and stared deeply into his eyes. “It’s just a matter of a few days, Lucas. Soon we'll be married and be busy in a world of our own,” she said lovingly. “I know. I just can’t wait to get this over and done with,” he told her. “Me too,” said Sienna, cuddling to him and staying in his arms as long as she could.
The next day sailed by with Lucas and Sienna enjoying a trip in the beautiful yacht on the St Lawrence River. It was like a dream date for Sienna. Lucas and Joe had made all arrangements for a day trip and she couldn’t have asked for more. After a memorable day, they returned back to the house to eat the mouthwatering dinner that Pam had cooked for them. The next day, the whole family, as well as her friends, would be here for the wedding and Sienna was excited.It was ten o’clock in the morning when Alyssa and Eva arrived on a speedboat the next day. They squealed with delight upon seeing one another. “Hey, girl! Oh my gosh! You’re glowing! By the way, who marries at such short notice?” complained Alyssa.“Blame Roman for it,” grumbled Sienna.“He&rs
They reached the house and the smell of delicious, fresh, home-cooked food hit their noses. “Mmmm, just the thing I needed. Food!” Said Sienna, her pregnancy making her hungry all the time. Lucas smiled and they walked inside. Surely Pam was here to cook them lunch! Just as expected, Pam was preparing the table for lunch when they walked inside.“Hello ma’am, sir! Lunch is ready. I’ve cleaned the place. Is there anything else you need?” She asked courteously. Sienna smiled warmly, liking the short, delicate woman with a mop of dark hair on her head.“Thank you so much, Pam. This is exactly what we needed,” said Sienna, going to the elevator to freshen herself before eating.“I’ll call you if we need anything,” said Lucas. Pam nodded and le
The sun’s rays filtering through the curtains, the sound of birds chirping continuously, the faint breeze from the window fluttering the curtains a little. All these and more woke Sienna up. Feeling extremely lazy, she stretched her body and pulled up the duvet more, wanting nothing more than to drift back to sleep.However, a sudden flash of hot warmth down there made her acutely aware of where she was. Opening her eyes wide, she felt herself go dripping wet. “Good morning, love,” said Lucas’s husky voice near her ear.“Good morning, Lucas! Oh, what are you doing? I need to pee,” she said, removing his fingers from her wet folds. Lucas laughed and released her.“Come back right away. I have unfinished business with you,” he reminded her. Sienna rushe
