Sienna hurried back to Lucas’s room with a frown on her face. She knew what consequences Roman was talking about. The question was when he would punish them. Would it be today or tomorrow?
“What’s the matter? Boyfriend problems?” Asked Lucas curiously. He just realized that apart from the kiss that they had shared, he didn’t know anything about her. Did she have a boyfriend? A beautiful woman like her would have many admirers, he couldn’t be the only one! The thought made his blood boil. He wanted to be the only one! He wanted to be the only one who kissed her, the only one who touched her. His whole body tingled at that thought. He took a deep breath to push those sinful thoughts away. ‘Not now, Lucas!’ he chided himself.
To his immense surprise, Sienna nodded without even attempting to answe
The next morning, Sienna was ready with her luggage. She loaded hers onto her car while Alyssa took Eva’s stuff with her to her apartment. After duty, Eva would directly go there. Strangely Alex hadn’t appeared although he had promised and Eva looked a little disappointed. “Don’t worry, he’ll be waiting for you at Alyssa’s apartment. Mark my words,” giggled Sienna. Eva rolled her eyes at her but couldn’t control the blush that gave her away.“Shut up and go and handle the hot Donnelly. Call me to update,” said Eva, and Sienna stuck her tongue out at her. Both friends parted ways and Sienna drove to the hospital nervously not knowing what lay ahead for her! ‘I’ll be very professional with him!’ chanted Sienna in her head all the way.Upon reaching the nurse’s stati
Sienna walked over to the door indicated by Maria and took a peek. It was a medium-sized room and beautifully furnished in pale beige and burgundy shades. The queen-sized bed looked quite inviting but it was the balcony that caught her breath away. The wrap-around balcony had the most breathtaking views of the Hudson River that she’d ever seen.“Do you like it?” Asked Lucas from his bed. The attendants had left and so had Maria. Sienna turned to look at him.“Yes, it’s beautiful,” she told him.“Now help me sit up. I’m tired of lying down since morning,” said Lucas with a displeased look on his face. Sienna walked up to him and slipped an arm under his shoulders. She gently pulled him up in a sitting position. Lucas gazed at her, mesmerized by her nea
“Sit,” ordered Lucas, his hungry eyes taking her in, waiting for her to protest. The woman was bursting with sensuality and it turned him on every time she was near him but it seemed as if she was unaware of the power that she had over him. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t have been so calm and controlled. He was a tornado who believed in sweeping you off your feet in the blink of an eye. His ways were not gentle and controlled at all! But Sienna didn’t know that from the brief kiss that she had simply shared with him. Her eyes widened at the implication. Would he kiss her again? “Eat,” he ordered. Sienna shook her head.“No, this is for you. I’ll eat later. You need to eat to regain your strength, Mr. Donnelly,” she said sternly. Lucas looked pissed off at her words. What would he have to do to make her call him Lucas? He was dying to hear her u
Roman glared back at Lucas, fuming with anger. “You don’t exactly look bedridden to me. Get yourself another nurse. Sienna isn’t available for your games, Mr. Donnelly,” stated Roman. Sienna was tired of his high-handedness. Who was he to manhandle her all the time?Lucas looked at him with a poker face, his cold eyes checking Roman out, disapprovingly. "I'm sure Sienna is an adult and can decide for herself. She doesn’t need you to dictate her around. So why are you here? Are you afraid that she might choose me over you?” asked Lucas with a victorious smirk. Sienna’s jaws dropped at the turn in their conversation. What was Lucas saying? Had he gone crazy?“How dare you talk to me in that tone, Mr. Donnelly?” shouted Roman, livid with anger.&ld
After that bombshell of an order, Sienna returned to her room and was about to close the connecting door between them, when Lucas stopped her.“Leave that open, Sienna,” he ordered, his eyes gazing into hers, daring her to protest.“You can just buzz me on my mobile phone tonight whenever you need me, Lucas. Tomorrow I’ll arrange for a buzzer but I can’t sleep with the door open,” she told him. Lucas glared at her. How dare she disobey his orders?“I’m the patient here and you’re here to take care of me. I want that damn door left open. No more arguments,” he gritted out, his eyes blazing with the fire that he felt within him. He was too frustrated that she was leaving his side. If he would have been better, he would have pinned her under him an
Lucas stared at the figure-hugging jeans that clung to her shapely b*tt like a second skin. The soft minty green top clung to her shapely breasts, the neckline exposing the creamy skin around her throat and neck. The uniform didn’t reveal much so now that he got the opportunity to see her in broad daylight, his eyes drank her in, stripping her bare in his mind. Sienna blushed at the way he stared at her. Should she hide under that uniform? She walked to his bedside and stood consciously waiting for his orders.Lucas closed his eyes to regain his composure. “I need a shower,” he said. Sienna’s cheeks colored as sinful thoughts crept into her mind. She remembered the training that the Occupational Therapy(OT) staff had given her two days prior to Lucas’s discharge.“Did the doctor give his permission?” she ask
Lucas ate the latkes and the deviled eggs before he even tried the chops which were supposedly his favorite. He even tried the coleslaw and took a second helping of the dishes. It made Sienna smile and start eating as well. He didn’t praise the food at all but his eyes twinkled with happiness at the thought that someone had taken so much pain to cook a meal for him. Sienna watched him minutely and noted the way he relished the food that she had made. Her eyes connected with Maria’s in the laundry room and she gave Sienna a ‘told you so’ look.The doorbell rang and Maria went to open the door. Lucas’s eyes shot up with shock seeing Marcus stride in straight towards the dining room.“Are you gonna eat all that food alone, bro?” eyed Marcus, plopping into the chair next to Sienna. Lucas gritted his teeth angrily.&nbs
Sienna was stunned by his admission. It was the first time that he had mentioned the kiss ever since they met. After witnessing that woman, Gina’s behavior with Lucas, it was obvious that this was quite normal for him. It made Sienna angry that he had thought her to be of the same category as Gina was. Maybe he went about kissing other women without feeling anything for them or giving them a second look. But she wasn’t of that type.“You shouldn’t even be thinking about it, Lucas. That kiss was an accident since we both were drunk. I’m sorry that it ever happened. It’s best that we both forget it. I’m your nurse and you’re my patient. That is all there is to it,” said Sienna, with a professional look on her face. Lucas tightened his hold on her wrist and yanked her closer to him, his eyes looked into hers with something akin to hurt.
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
