Unfinished Business (Sienna)

Author: Shidaliya
last update Last Updated: 2025-02-16 00:06:44

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 me in front of everyone without even saying the words.

The logical part of me knew I should be relieved.

This was what I needed—space.

Distance.

Time to think.

But all I could think about was him.

I pushed my food around my plate.

“Sienna,” my mom said, drawing my attention. “You’ve been staring at your dinner for the past ten minutes. Something on your mind?”

I blinked. “What? No, I’m just not that hungry.”

Eli snorted. “Maybe she’s in love.”

My head snapped toward him. “Excuse me?”

He smirked, shoveling another bite of rice into his mouth. “You’ve been acting weird lately. Zoning out. Smiling at your phone. Looking all dreamy and pathetic.”

I gaped at him. “I do not look dreamy and pathetic.”

“Yeah, you do,” he said around a mouthful of food.

“Eli.” My mom sighed. “Don’t talk with your mouth full.”

He swallowed, then shot me another knowing look. “So, who’s the guy?”

I felt my face heat.

“There’s no guy.”

“Liar.”

“Eli.” My mom gave him a warning glance.

He raised his hands in surrender, grinning. “Fine, fine. Just saying—if there was a guy, he’s got you all messed up.”

I opened my mouth to snap at him—

But my phone vibrated against the table.

I sucked in a sharp breath, my pulse skyrocketing as I glanced at the screen.

Luca: Come outside.

I stared at the message, my heart hammering.

Luca was here?

Now?

I hesitated.

This was a bad idea.

A very bad idea.

But my body had already made the decision for me.

I stood abruptly, grabbing my phone. “I’m, uh, gonna get some fresh air.”

Eli smirked. “Yeah, I bet you are.”

I shot him a glare before heading for the door.

As soon as I stepped outside, the cool night air hit me, but it did nothing to calm my racing pulse.

Luca was leaning against his car, hands shoved into the pockets of his hoodie, looking so ridiculously good it was unfair.

He didn’t say anything at first.

He just watched me.

Like he was drinking me in.

Like he’d been waiting for this moment all night.

I swallowed hard. “What are you doing here?”

His lips curved slightly. “Couldn’t stay away.”

I exhaled shakily. “Luca…”

He pushed off the car, closing the distance between us. “Tell me you don’t want me here, and I’ll leave.”

I opened my mouth—

But nothing came out.

Because I did want him here.

So badly it hurt.

Luca’s gaze darkened. “That’s what I thought.”

He reached for me, fingers curling around my wrist, tugging me closer until I was pressed against his chest.

I inhaled sharply.

I hated how much I liked this.

How much I needed this.

Him.

“Luca,” I whispered, my voice barely audible.

“Yeah?” His breath was warm against my skin.

“This is dangerous.”

His lips ghosted over my temple. “I know.”

“I don’t think I can stop.”

His grip tightened. “I don’t want you to stop.”

And then he kissed me.

And I was gone.

Lost in him.

In the way his hands roamed my body, the way his lips moved against mine with a kind of desperation that made my knees weak.

I clung to him, fingers tangling in his hair as he deepened the kiss, backing me up until I was pressed against his car.

His hands slid down to my waist, gripping firmly.

I gasped against his mouth, and he took full advantage, his tongue sweeping inside, claiming me in a way that left no room for doubt.

Luca wanted me.

And I was completely, irrevocably his.

  • Falling for the Enemy    Game On (Luca & Sienna)

    Luca's POV Mondays were a bitch.Mornings were worse.And early mornings, like this one? Downright cruel.I slumped against my locker, yawning so wide my jaw cracked. The weekend had been a blur—training, Sienna, dealing with my dad’s never-ending attempts to “connect”—but none of that prepared me for the hell that was the first day of the week.“Mate, you look like you got hit by a bus.”I cracked one eye open to find Ethan smirking at me, arms crossed over his chest. He was fresh, energized, annoyingly awake, which only made me scowl harder.“More like a truck,” I muttered, rubbing a hand over my face. “Didn’t get much sleep.”“Wonder why.” He wiggled his eyebrows. “Wouldn’t have anything to do with a certain dark-haired girl, would it?”I shot him a look. “Shut up.”“Ah, come on. You’ve been spending all your time with her. When’s the wedding?”I groaned, slamming my locker shut. “Piss off.”Ethan just laughed, but whatever comeback he had was drowned out by the usual Monday morni

  • Falling for the Enemy    Into the Unknown (Sienna)

    I didn’t want to be here.Not even a little bit.If I had it my way, I’d be curled up in bed with a book, not standing outside the school, surrounded by hyperactive students, waiting to board a bus for a three-day excursion.Who even liked these things?Cassie. That’s who.“This is going to be so fun,” she said, practically vibrating beside me.“Fun?” I shot her a glare. “Cass, it’s a mandatory school trip. Nothing about it screams fun.”She just grinned. “Three days away from school, no parents breathing down our necks, bonfires—” she waggled her brows—”Luca?”I felt my stomach tighten. “Shut up.”She nudged me with her elbow. “Oh, come on. You can’t tell me you’re not the least bit excited to spend three days in the wild with your little lover boy.”My face burned. “He’s not—”“Yet.”I groaned, shifting the strap of my bag higher on my shoulder. I hated how my pulse picked up at the thought of him.The past few weeks had been… a lot.Luca had started making it painfully clear that h

    The ride was long.Too long.The bus rumbled along the highway, filled with chatter and occasional outbursts from overly excited students, but I barely heard any of it.Not with him sitting just a few rows behind me.Not with his presence burning into my skin like a brand.Cassie had long since dozed off, head resting against the window, but I was wide awake, pretending to be engrossed in the scenery outside when, in reality, I was painfully aware of every single move Luca made.His laugh, low and lazy, floated through the air.The rustling of his hoodie as he shifted in his seat.The occasional murmurs as he spoke to Ethan.I hated it.I hated how aware of him I was.I squeezed my hands together, nails biting into my palm. It’s just a school trip, Sienna. Nothing else. Keep your head down, and get through it.But of course, the universe had other plans.The moment we pulled up to the campsite—a massive stretch of land nestled between thick woods and a lake—our teacher, Mr. Harrison,

  • Falling for the Enemy    One Tent, No Escape (Luca)

    I was so fucked.And not in the good way.Standing outside the tent, watching Sienna wrestle with the poles like they’d personally offended her, I had to bite back a smirk.“Need help, Sunshine?”“Don’t call me that,” she snapped, not looking up as she struggled to drive a stake into the dirt.I shoved my hands in my pockets. “Alright, Sienna—do you need help?”She huffed. “I got it.”Yeah. Sure she did.I watched for another thirty seconds before stepping in, easily driving the stake into the ground with my boot.She scowled. “I could’ve done that.”“Of course you could’ve.” I grinned, grabbing the other pole and securing it in place. “But at this rate, we’d be sleeping outside.”She muttered something under her breath, but I was too busy not staring at the way her shirt had ridden up to expose a sliver of smooth, golden skin.Focus, Russo.By the time we finally got the tent up, the sky had darkened, the campfire was lit, and dinner was being passed around. But before we could even

    I woke up to warmth.Soft. Comfortable. Dangerous warmth.For a second, I forgot where I was.The rain had slowed to a soft drizzle, the occasional rumble of thunder still rolling in the distance. The tent smelled like damp fabric, grass, and something undeniably Sienna.And then I realized—She was still wrapped around me.Her head rested against my chest, her fingers curled into my hoodie. One of her legs was tangled with mine, and my arm was still draped over her waist, holding her way too close.Fucking hell.I forced myself to stay still, even as every muscle in my body screamed to do the opposite.I should wake her up.I should move.But I didn’t.Instead, I let my eyes trace the curve of her cheek, the way her lashes rested against her skin.She looked so soft like this.So unguarded.I had the sudden, reckless urge to run my fingers through her hair, to tilt her chin up and kiss her awake.Instead, I swallowed hard and forced myself to breathe.What the fuck was happening to m

    I had officially lost my mind.That was the only explanation.Why else would I have grabbed Luca in the middle of breakfast—in front of everyone—and kissed him like I had something to prove?Because I had snapped. That was why.Amanda’s words, her smug little smirk, the constant taunting—I had reached my limit. And instead of ignoring it like I always did, I had thrown gasoline on the fire.And now I was burning.The moment my lips had touched Luca’s, the rest of the world had vanished.I hadn’t thought about Amanda.Or the people watching.Or the fact that Luca was Luca—the same boy I had spent the last few months trying to keep at arm’s length.All I had thought about was him.His hands in my hair. His lips moving against mine.

  • Falling for the Enemy    Back to Reality (Luca)

    The bus ride back to school was nothing short of chaotic.The lads were still buzzing from the trip, making noise in the back like they hadn’t just spent the past few days running on barely any sleep. Someone had smuggled a speaker onto the bus, blasting music loud enough that the teachers had already given up trying to control it.I should’ve been right there with them—laughing, messing around, enjoying the last few moments of freedom before we were dumped back into reality.But my head was somewhere else.Or, more accurately, on someone else.Sienna sat near the middle of the bus, headphones in, staring out the window. She wasn’t talking to anyone, wasn’t engaging in the chaos around her.I knew that look.She was overthinking.I sighed, running a hand through my hair.The thing was, I knew what Amanda had said to her. I knew the way her mind worked, how doubt crept in no matter how many times I tried to shut it down.And I hated it.Hated that she still questioned this—us.I wasn’t

    The crisp morning air bit at my cheeks as I stood outside the cabins, watching the sunrise spill soft gold over the hills. The trip was almost over. By this time tomorrow, we’d be back in school, drowning in assignments and pretending like this excursion had been just another ordinary event.But it wasn’t.At least, not for me.Not after last night.Not after the way Luca had looked at me at breakfast—like he wasn’t willing to let me slip away.A shiver ran through me, though I wasn’t sure if it was from the cold or the weight of everything that had happened.“Hey.”Cassie’s voice pulled me from my thoughts, and I turned to see her approaching, a steaming cup of tea in her hands. She held it out to me.I took it without question. “Thanks.”She arched a brow. “You okay?”I hesitated, then gave a small nod. “Yeah.”She huffed, clearly unconvinced, but didn’t push. Instead, she glanced toward the mess hall, where students were still trailing in and out, finishing breakfast. “So, what’s o

    The sun was barely rising when I cracked my eyes open, but I knew, before I even turned my head, that I was alone.Sienna was gone.I sat up slowly, rubbing a hand over my face as last night came rushing back.Her lips.Her body pressed against mine.The way she looked at me—like she wanted to stay but didn’t know how.Like she was afraid to want this as much as I did.I exhaled sharply, running a hand through my hair.I should’ve expected this.Sienna had always been the type to run when things got too real.And last night?It was real.Too real.With a grunt, I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and stood, stretching out the stiffness in my muscles. The room was still dark, but I could hear movement outside—the rest of the students waking up, getting ready for the last day of the trip.Right.The trip.The whole reason we were here.It was easy to forget that this wasn’t just some weekend getaway—that we were technically on a school excursion, meant to be soaking up educational
