Falling for the Enemy Pressure and Proximity (Luca)
I was tired of waiting.Sienna had been keeping me at arm’s length for weeks, and it was starting to get on my last nerve. I wasn’t blind—I saw the way she looked at me when she thought I wasn’t watching. I felt the way she reacted when I got too close.She wanted me.She just wouldn’t admit it.Which meant I had two options: let her keep running or back her into a corner where she had no choice but to face this head-on.It wasn’t a hard decision.Training was brutal that evening. Coach had us running drills until my legs burned, but I welcomed the exhaustion. It was better than sitting around, thinking about Sienna and all the ways she was driving me insane.The lads were still lingering in the locker room when I finished up, laughing and giving each other shit like always.“Luca, man,” Ryan called out, tossing his towel at me. “You’re a moody bastard lately.”I caught it before it hit my face and threw it back at him. “I’m fine.”He smirked. “Sure you are. Let me guess—this has some

I should have told him to stop.The words had been right there, hovering on the tip of my tongue. I could have said them. I should have said them.But I didn’t.Because the truth was, I didn’t want Luca to stop. I didn’t want him to walk away.And that terrified me.I spent the rest of the evening avoiding Cassie’s knowing smirks and my own reflection. I didn’t need to see the flush in my cheeks or the way my lips were still slightly swollen from biting them too hard.I was losing control.And worse—I was starting not to care.The next morning, I wasn’t ready to face him. But, of course, Luca didn’t care about what I was ready for.I barely made it inside the school before I felt him behind me. It was a presence more than anything, this unspoken awareness that I couldn’t seem to shake no matter how hard I tried.“Are you planning on pretending last night didn’t happen?”I swallowed and kept walking. “It was just a conversation.”“Was it?”He caught my wrist and pulled me into an alcov

I knew something was wrong the second I saw her.Sienna wasn’t good at hiding her emotions—not from me, at least. She might have been able to keep everyone else at a distance, but I had spent too much time watching her, learning her tells.And right now?She was spiraling.Her shoulders were stiff, her gaze fixed on her food like it had personally offended her. Cassie kept shooting her worried looks, but Sienna wouldn’t acknowledge them. Her fingers gripped her fork so tightly her knuckles had turned white, and she barely blinked, like she was holding something back.I didn’t even hesitate. I grabbed my tray, left the lads at our usual table, and walked straight to her.Cassie noticed me first. She raised a brow but said nothing as I pulled out the chair across from Sienna and sat down.She still didn’t look up.“Hey,” I said, voice softer than usual.Nothing.Cassie sighed. “I’ll give you two a minute.” She grabbed her tray and walked off, leaving us alone.I waited until she was out
Last Updated : 2025-02-11Falling for the Enemy The Weight of Expectations (Sienna)
Home had never felt like a sanctuary.Not really.It was a place where I existed, not where I belonged. A space I tiptoed around, careful not to be too loud, too much, too noticeable.I used to think every home was like this—silent, heavy, a place where love was measured in rules and expectations rather than warmth and affection. But after spending time at Luca’s house, I knew better.His home was alive.His mother was warm and affectionate, always checking in on him and making sure he had eaten. His father was the kind of dad who actually talked to him, joked with him, treated him like an equal rather than just a responsibility. Their home had this ease to it, like no one was afraid of saying the wrong thing.Mine was the opposite.My dad worked late most nights, coming home just long enough to eat, shower, and sleep before repeating the cycle. When he was around, he wasn’t unkind—just distant, like I was another obligation he barely had the energy for.My mother, on the other hand,

I needed to hit something.Hard.I should have been on the pitch right now, burning off the frustration, but training had been canceled last minute, and I was left with too much energy and nowhere to put it.I drove aimlessly for a while, winding through town with the windows down, music low. My hands gripped the wheel, fingers flexing. The tightness in my chest hadn’t eased since last night. Since her message.Not tonight.Two words that shouldn’t have felt like a punch to the gut, but they did.She had needed me—I could feel it through the phone, could picture her curled up in bed, wrapped up in whatever storm had been raging in her head—but she hadn’t let me in.I knew better than to push.Sienna was like that. Careful. Controlled. Always keeping just enough distance, always holding something back.And fuck if I wasn’t desperate to get past that wall.I pulled into my driveway and killed the engine, my knee bouncing as I sat in the quiet. The house was lit up, laughter spilling fro

I wasn’t used to this.Not the hand-holding. Not the constant checking in. Not the way he looked at me—like I was something he wanted to protect, something he wanted to keep.And I definitely wasn’t used to the kissing.Because Luca kissed like he meant it.Like every touch, every movement, was a promise.It should have scared me.It did scare me.But right now, standing under the streetlights, our fingers still intertwined, I wasn’t thinking about fear.I was thinking about him.“Do you want to go for a drive?” he asked, voice low.I should have said no. It was late. My father would kill me if he found out.But the thought of going back inside—to the walls, the expectations, the rules—felt suffocating.So I nodded. “Okay.”Luca didn’t say anything. He just squeezed my hand and led me to his car.We drove in comfortable silence, the hum of the engine filling the space between us. Luca’s hand rested on the gear shift, close enough that I could reach out and touch him if I wanted.I wan

I wasn’t used to feeling this way about a girl.It was fucking with my head.The way Sienna got under my skin so easily, the way my body reacted to hers without hesitation—it wasn’t normal for me.But nothing about Sienna was normal.She was different.I could feel it in the way she kissed me, the way she looked at me like she was scared of wanting this but couldn’t stop herself.And I was completely screwed because I wanted her to want me.Not just for a night. Not just for the moment.I wanted everything.Which was why, when I pulled up outside her house later that night, I didn’t let go of her hand.I should have. I should have let her go, watched her walk inside, and left before I did something stupid.But I didn’t.She sat there in the passenger seat, Luca’s jacket still wrapped around her small frame, her bottom lip caught between her teeth like she was working through something.I wanted to lean over and kiss her again.To make sure she knew.But I held back.Instead, I watched
Last Updated : 2025-02-16Falling for the Enemy Unfinished Business (Sienna)
I had never felt this out of control in my life.Not when my father walked out on us.Not when my mother sat me down and told me we’d have to move into a smaller house because things were tight.Not even when I started a new school, walking into the building knowing no one but Cassie, praying I wouldn’t drown in the unfamiliarity of it all.But this?The way Luca could completely consume my thoughts with just one look?The way his voice alone could send shivers down my spine?The way I wanted him, even though every single thing about him screamed dangerous?I was spiraling, and I had no idea how to stop it.Maybe I didn’t want to stop it.That was the thought that plagued me as I sat in the kitchen that night, pretending to eat my dinner while my mom and younger brother, Eli, talked about their day.I tried to focus.I really did.But my phone sat beside my plate, taunting me with its silence.Luca hadn’t texted.Not since he kissed me against that wall at school, not since he claimed

Falling for the Enemy Extended Epilogue ( A New Legacy)
(Sienna’s POV)The house was alive with laughter, the scent of fresh flowers and warm food mingling in the air as the guests arrived one after another. It felt surreal—this moment, this day. A day that marked the beginning of something far greater than Luca and me. It was the start of a new legacy, a new generation.I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the delicate lace on my white and gold dress. The fitted bodice hugged my waist, the flowy skirt cascading down to the floor in elegant waves. It was tradition to wear white for purity, for new beginnings, and today, everything felt pure.“Are you ready?” Luca’s voice came from behind me, deep and soothing.I turned, and there he was—my husband, the father of my children, the love of my life. He looked breathtaking in his custom-fitted navy-blue suit, the gold cufflinks matching the accents on my dress. His dark hair was styled to perfection, but it was his eyes—the way they softened when they met mine—that made my heart race.“As
Falling for the Enemy Extended Epilogue (The Night Before Forever)
(Sienna’s POV)The house was finally quiet. It was a fragile silence, the kind that came after hours of soothing newborn cries, calming restless toddlers, and making sure everything was set for the next day. I stood at the doorway of the nursery, my fingers gripping the frame as I watched my daughters sleeping soundly in their cribs.Elena and Isabella.It still felt surreal, even though I had spent the past eight weeks holding them, feeding them, memorizing every little detail about their tiny features. The gentle rise and fall of their chests, the way Isabella’s little fingers always curled around her sister’s when they were placed beside each other, the way Elena would turn her head in search of my voice.A soft smile tugged at my lips.It wasn’t just them that made my heart feel impossibly full—it was everything. The house, now brimming with life. The sound of Matteo and Alessandro’s giggles echoing through the halls. The way Luca looked at me with a depth of love that made me wea
Falling for the Enemy Extended Epilogue (Our Angels)
(Luca's POV) Sienna was asleep.After more than fifteen hours of labor, screaming, crying, and a near bone-breaking grip on my hand, she had finally drifted into a well-earned rest. Her body was utterly exhausted, her face soft in slumber, strands of hair still sticking to her forehead.But me? I couldn’t sleep. Not even for a second.Because right in front of me, in the transparent bassinet beside Sienna’s hospital bed, lay our daughters.My daughters.I still couldn’t wrap my head around it. It didn’t feel real. How could it? One moment, it was just the two of us—just me and Sienna, figuring out life, navigating chaos, and now… now there were four of us.My heart clenched.They were so tiny. So fragile.One of them let out a small, soft sigh in her sleep, her tiny fingers twitching before settling against the soft pink blanket wrapped around her. Her sister lay beside her, her lips pursed slightly, looking just as peaceful.Matteo had arrived with Alessandro a few hours ago, and af
Falling for the Enemy Extended Epilogue ( We Meet Our two Beautiful Angel)
(Luca's POV) Time had never felt so slow and so fast at the same time.The past eight months had been a whirlwind. From setting up the nursery to attending doctor’s appointments, every single day had been a countdown to this moment. And now—now it was here.Sienna was in labor.And I was losing my goddamn mind.I had rehearsed this moment a thousand times. I had planned, prepared, and memorized every step of the process. But all of that went out the window the second Sienna gripped my arm and gasped, “Luca… my water just broke.”For a solid five seconds, I stared at her like a complete idiot.Then chaos erupted.“Okay—okay! We’re ready! We have the bag! We have the—where’s my phone?!” I patted down my pockets, my movements jerky and uncoordinated. My heart was pounding so loudly in my ears that I barely heard Sienna groan.“Luca,” she exhaled, gripping the kitchen counter as she breathed through a contraction. “Stop panicking.”“I’m not panicking,” I lied, my hands shaking as I reach
Falling for the Enemy Extended Epilogue (Preparing for Chaos)
(Sienna's POV) The news of our twin girls spread like wildfire. By the time Luca and I had finished calling everyone in our immediate circle, our families had already told their friends, and somehow, I suspected half the neighborhood knew too.Luca’s mother had called again—twice—to ask if she could start planning the baby shower immediately. My own mother had sent me a list of name suggestions before I could even finish breakfast. Even Cassie had texted me with an absurd amount of baby girl outfits she wanted to buy.And through all of this, Luca looked like a man who had been hit by a freight train.“Are you okay?” I asked him as he slumped against the kitchen counter, staring at his phone.He let out a slow breath. “I just got a message from my uncle. He says congratulations, and that we should start looking into bulletproof windows for when the girls are teenagers.”I snorted. “He’s not wrong.”Luca groaned, rubbing his face. “Sienna, do you realize how much trouble I’m in?”I ra
Falling for the Enemy Extended Epilogue ( Double the Love)
(Luca’s POV)I didn’t know how long I sat there, staring at the ultrasound screen like a man who’d just had his entire world flipped upside down. Twin girls.Two.Jesus Christ.I ran a hand through my hair, exhaling sharply as I tried to process the reality of it. One baby had already been enough to completely wreck me in the best possible way, but two? I was so f***ed.Sienna was watching me, her fingers squeezing mine, probably waiting for me to say something more profound than the string of curses I’d already let loose. But my mind was short-circuiting.Twin daughters.“Luca,” she murmured, her voice softer now, like she was worried about me.I shook myself out of the trance, blinking at her before looking back at the screen, where two tiny, indistinct shapes flickered with life. My daughters.I swallowed hard, my chest tightening with something dangerously close to tears. “They’re so small,” I rasped.Dr. Caldwell chuckled. “That’s because they’re only about ten weeks along. But I
Falling for the Enemy Extended Epilogue ( Two Heartbeats)
(Sienna’s POV)I sat on the edge of the bed, my fingers idly tracing the fabric of my nightgown. The past few months had been a whirlwind—recovery, adjusting back to normal life, and trying to find a sense of peace after everything we’d been through. Luca had been my rock, never leaving my side, always knowing exactly what I needed before I even said a word. And now, as the early morning light filtered through the curtains, I found myself staring down at the pregnancy test in my hands.Two lines.Two lines.I blinked. My breath hitched.No. This couldn’t be right.I grabbed another test from the drawer—one of the fancy digital ones. My hands shook as I followed the instructions, waiting the agonizing minutes for the result.“Pregnant. 3+ weeks.”A choked gasp left my lips. My heart pounded so hard I could hear it in my ears.Pregnant.I pressed a hand to my stomach, a thousand thoughts racing through my mind. We hadn’t been trying, not exactly, but we also hadn’t been preventing it. I
Falling for the Enemy Extended Epilogue ( Coming Home)
Luca's POV I never thought the sight of home would make my chest ache the way it did today. As the car rolled up the driveway, the massive wrought-iron gates slowly opening, I tightened my grip on Sienna’s hand.“We’re here, baby,” I murmured, pressing a kiss to her temple.Her head rested against the seat, exhaustion still etched into her delicate features, but when she lifted her gaze to meet mine, I saw something there—relief. Hope. A softness that had been missing for too long.She smiled, small but real. “Home,” she whispered, as if testing the word on her tongue.It had been months of uncertainty, months of fighting battles that neither of us had been prepared for. The long nights in the hospital, the painful procedures, the endless waiting for answers that never seemed to come fast enough. But we had made it through.And now, we were finally back where we belonged.The front door swung open before the driver even fully stopped the car. My mother rushed out first, wiping her ha
Falling for the Enemy Extended Epilogue ( Finally Home)
(Sienna’s POV)The hospital doors slid open, ushering in a crisp breeze that smelled like rain-soaked pavement. It was the scent of freedom, of normalcy, of the life we had fought so hard to return to. After what felt like an eternity inside these sterile white walls, we were finally walking out as a family again.Luca held Matteo in his arms, pressing a soft kiss to our son’s temple. Matteo had always been a light sleeper, but today, exhaustion had won, and he rested against his father’s chest, his small fingers curled into the fabric of Luca’s hoodie. Alessandro clutched my hand tightly, his grip firm as if he were afraid someone would try to pull us back inside. He had been so strong through all of this, stronger than any five-year-old should ever have to be.Outside, Dr. Caldwell and Dr. Moreau stood near the entrance, watching us go.“Remember,” Dr. Moreau said, adjusting the glasses perched on his nose, “his immune system is still delicate. Keep him away from crowded places for
