~ SIERRA's POV ~Colton’s deep blue eyes pierced straight into her soul. She felt loved and understood. And more than that, she felt wanted. Sierra bit her lip and tried to hold his gaze, but it was getting hard. She was swallowing hard and squirming in her seat. That piercing look in his eye could get a girl’s panties wet in zero point two seconds. That thing should come with a warning!As if he knew what she was thinking, he let out a low chuckle and leaned his body forward to her. She sat still and motionless as his lips grazed her cheek, then her jaw, and now her ear.“What are you doing to me, princess?” he whispered seductively. His hot breaths were fanning her cheeks. “I just can’t get enough of you,” Colton led her down gently as she lay on her back and he climbed over her. With his lower body pressed against her stomach, she could feel the hard bulge on his pants, causing her to gulp and squirm. Holy moly, me oh my!Colton planted soft, wet kisses from her jaw down to her n
~ SIERRA ~- - - - - TWO WEEKS LATER - - - - - “A little more to the left… yes, that’s it, perfect!”Sierra clapped her hands in excitement as Levi and Jackson positioned the Happy Birthday sign above the living room window. Today was Colton’s birthday and Sierra pulled out all the stops. She contacted Levi and Jackson for help, as well as Rosie. Starting from early in the morning, Sierra waited to make sure Colton had left for his job in Columbia before sneaking into his apartment with Levi and Jackson’s help. She came with Rosie and the two girls brought an entire Party City store with them. They had everything from balloons, garlands, cakes, confetti, glitters, and more. By the time they were done decorating this place, it looked as if Alice in Wonderland threw up all over the place.“Wow, you definitely went all out,” Rosie chimed as she brought a couple of beautifully wrapped gift boxes and put them on the coffee table.“I have to,” Sierra said simply. “Colton’s always so extra
~ COLTON ~It was a Friday night and Colton couldn’t wait to get out of his office in Columbia. Sierra had no classes on Friday, so it was pretty useless for him to be there, except he still had to go because it was his job now.Time was passing by so slow and Colton kept checking his watch. It was February 28th today, which meant it was his birthday. Colton didn’t care too much about that because he pretty much stopped celebrating his birthday since his mother’s death. His mom passed away a day before his eleventh birthday. Ever since then, Colton thought his birthday was cursed.So, instead of going out and partying, Colton planned for a more casual night tonight. He was going to have dinner with Sierra at the apartment. Her dad was out of town on business, so she was able to sneak out, telling him that she was sleeping over at her cousin’s place. Colton let out the biggest sigh of relief when he could finally leave the office. No one even knew that it was his birthday because he m
~ SIERRA ~- - - - - THREE WEEKS LATER - - - - -“Hey, daddy? Can I talk to you for a sec?” Sierra said sweetly as she knocked on her father’s office door. “I brought you breakfast,”Henri looked up from his desk and Sierra flashed him a big smile, she was holding a tray full of pancakes and fruits. It was a Sunday morning, so Henri should be at his most relaxed hour. He was reading a newspaper and drinking hot coffee, which meant that he was in a good mood. Sierra had been watching his mood for the past two days, waiting for the perfect time to ask.“Sure. Come in, sit down, sweetie,” Henri gestured for the seat in front of him. “What’s up?”Sierra came right in and placed the tray of food on the desk. She even made the whipped cream on top of the pancakes to be shaped into a heart.“Well, I just wanna talk to you a little, see how you’re doing…” she said, still smiling that big smile.This was Sierra’s tactic every time she wanted to ask something from her dad. She would act very sw
~ COLTON ~“Yo, Colt,” Jackson said as he barged into Colton’s room, holding onto a brown envelope. “We got the file on Raphael Rothschild, just like you ask,”Jackson was followed shortly after by Levi. Meanwhile, Colton was standing in front of the mirror with an all black suit and tie, the same ones that most bodyguards would wear. It was Friday night and he was dressed for the part. “Took you guys long enough,” Colton said as he received the file from Jackson. “It ain’t easy, he kept himself clean,” Jackson said as he went over to the wet bar, pouring himself a glass of drink.“We can’t find much except for his connection with the Russian mob, but you can read through it, if you want,” Levi added, referring to the file.Colton looked through the file and scoffed. His cousins were investigating Raphael for a while now under his command, but the things they found were subliminal. It seemed that Raphael Rothschild was better at covering his tracks more than Colton thought. “This c
~ SIERRA ~“Well, well, well, look who we have here,”Suddenly, in the middle of them dancing, Sierra heard a voice and Raphael stopped moving. She turned around to find a man with platinum blonde hair, similar to Raphael. They even looked alike, except he was older and he looked very familiar.“Dan, you made it,” Raphael smiled and opened his arms, hugging his brother.Sierra then remembered who that guy was. He was Daniel Rothschild, Raphael’s older brother who was also a movie star. Sierra had watched some of his movies. He was in that romantic comedy with Emma Stone a few years back.“Of course, I won’t miss my little brother’s birthday,” Daniel laughed and patted Raphael’s shoulder. Then he turned to Sierra and said, “And who is this?”“Dan, this is Sierra Ascott,” Raphael introduced her.“Oh, Sierra. That’s right. Raphael’s told me so much about you,” Dan smiled and gave out his hand. “My name’s Daniel. I’m Raphael’s older brother. Well, one of his older brothers,”“It’s very ni
~ COLTON ~Colton was frantic. He knew Sierra must be inside that room. He tried calling and doing everything he could, but there wasn’t even any ringing. Desperately, he even used the ‘find my phone’ feature. It could only tell him that she was inside the hotel, but that was it. Colton realized he needed to find a way into that room without using the front door. Slipping through the sea of people, he headed for a window adjacent to that room. Swiftly and skillfully, he climbed out of the window and started scaling the walls like a real life Spiderman. Yes, he could fall and die at any moment. Did he care? Not so much.Colton only had one goal in mind and that was to make sure Sierra was okay. He kept replaying the image in his head of when she was harassed by those stupid frat guys at the party. They got her drunk, roofied her, and they were about to rape her. He remembered seeing their disgusting hands on her body and it made his blood boil. Sierra was a good girl with a pure hea
~ SIERRA ~- - - - - TWO WEEKS LATER - - - - -“Spring Break, here we come!”Rosie was clapping her hands in excitement as she sat comfortably in her first class seat. Sierra was sitting next to her and their bodyguards were in the cabin behind them. Sierra fastened her seatbelt and sat back. In just seven and a half hours, they would arrive in Paris, where Colton and Ethan were already waiting at the hotel.“Hello and welcome to Air France, can I get you something to drink, miss?” the stewardess said to Rosie and Sierra.“I’ll have a glass of champagne, thanks,” Rosie chimed and Sierra shot her a glare.Champagne at four in the afternoon?“What? It’s a special occasion,” Rosie glared back at Sierra.“What special occasion?”“We’re celebrating your freedom, duh!” Rosie laughed and waved her hand carelessly in the air. “Come on, Si. Live a little,”Sierra couldn’t help but smile. Finally, after all those years of living inside the rules, this was the first time she was doing something
