Sleeping with the enemy Chapter 24
ColeI was still climbing the walls when Jace returned and filled me in on his meeting with Luca and Matteo, and even more so when he told me that Sienna had been followed by someone other than Ryder. I felt sick when he told me that Bella had brazenly walked up to the guy with a coffee and told him she knew he was following them. Anything could have happened to her. She then went up to Ryder and asked him if he had even noticed the other guy, which he assured me he did.Luca told Jace that he and Matteo were sure they had taken care of the guys behind the hit on Sienna. Perhaps the hit wasn't just about getting revenge on them. Still, as the months passed and nothing else had happened, he put it to the back of his mind but now, with what happened to me or at least what they think happened to me, Luca agreed to look into it again for Sienna's sake more than anything as he knew she was hurting. He also wanted to make sure she was out of danger. Still, Luca always thought our presence a
Sleeping with the enemy Chapter 1
SiennaThey say that when you're in a life or death situation, your life flashes before your eyes. I always thought that would be nice, you know, seeing your friends and family before you died, something nice to hold onto. Still, now that I was frozen on the pavement as a black car sped past so close, I could feel the paint on my fingertips before the passenger started shooting at a stationery car about a foot away from me. When the other vehicle started shooting back, I couldn't get my legs to move, no matter how hard I tried. I didn't see any flashes of my life; I saw everything happening around me in slow motion. I could hear guns going off and people shouting and cursing. I could even hear the car door opening behind me. How I managed to hear all that over the sound of my heart hammering and the blood rushing to my ears, I'll never know.I heard someone shout, "Get fuc
Sleeping with the enemy Chapter 2
ColeI walked away from her and slammed the cabin door leaning against it. What the fuck was wrong with me. Why was I letting this girl get under my skin? I shouldn't have kissed her. That was a mistake. Now all I wanted to do was drag her back inside and take her to my bed. I didn't move away from the door until I heard her car drive away. I flopped down on the couch with the smell of Sienna's perfume all around me. My phone rang, and I glanced at it and saw it was my brother."Hey, Jace," I answered."Is she gone?" he asked as a way of a greeting."Who""Don't play dumb, Cole. You leapt out of the car to save that girl, then when I phoned last night, you had somehow made it to your
Sleeping with the enemy Chapter 3
SiennaI managed to make my way through the school day without thinking of Cole at all. Ok, that's a lie, but I managed to make it through school on only a few hours of sleep. I sat with my friends at lunch and tried to concentrate on what they said, but I couldn't. All I could think of was Cole and the kiss he gave me before I left. Get a grip,Sienna. You won't see him again. I sighed and tried harder to pay attention to my friends the only one that was even looking at me was Bella, and I smiled to let her know I was ok. The rest of the day passed quickly, and before I knew it, I was driving Bella home, telling her I would phone her later before I headed home.I pulled up to the iron gates outside my house, punch

Cole"What should we do now." She asked, biting her lip.I sat down my beer, and in two strides, I was in front of her. "I have a few ideas," I told her before cupping her face and tilting her mouth up to meet mine. The taste of peppercorn from the sauce she had with her steak lingers on her lips, and when I deepen this kiss, she moans in my mouth. As our tongues dance, my cock hardens, ready to finally claim her. Her arms wind around my neck, pulling me closer. I slowly pull away, and her eyes open, and I can see the desire in her eyes."You should tell me to stop," I tell her, taking a deep breath as I know if she doesn't say the words, I won't stop until she's mine."And what if I don't want you to stop." She tells me as she pulls my head back down to her claiming my lips.
Sleeping with the enemy Chapter 5
SiennaMy head was still spinning, going over everything that happened last night. It was the perfect night, and I still couldn't believe that it had happened. I thought I wouldn't see him again after that first night when he kissed me goodbye, yet he went to all the trouble to find me and made me a fantastic dinner. When I opened the door and saw his brother Jace standing there, I didn't know what to do, so I just stood like an idiot while he looked me up and down like a rack of lamb. I felt relieved when Cole rushed to my side, and he assured me that Jace was annoyed with him and not with me, but I still felt unsure as something about the whole situation was unsettling. I pulled into the school parking lot and spotted my friends near the front door. As I made my way towards them, Bella spotted me and rushed over."Where were you last night?" She asked with a huge grin.
Sleeping with the enemy Chapter 6
ColeAs soon as I walked back into the cabin, I knew my brother was spoiling for a fight. "So that's why you took off yesterday and turned your phone off. Not to mention showing up at the gym, Tyler told me all about it. You have businesses to take care of in case you've forgotten.""I haven't forgotten. I am on top of everything, and I'm sure you can take care of any emergencies, but if you think you aren't up to it, let me know, and I'll have Ryder take over for you," I warned."I can handle it. That's not the fucking point, Cole. You turned your phone off, and you do remember we were attacked a couple of days ago." He snapped at me. "We still don't know who was behind the attack.""I get it, Jace. I'll keep my phone on. Happy now?"
Sleeping with the enemy Chapter 7
Sienna"Sienna, wake up," Cole murmured from beside me as he kissed my neck.I opened my eyes, and my breath caught in my throat; every time I see him, I'm taken back by how beautiful he looks, and although I doubt he'd like to be called beautiful, I couldn't think of another way to describe him."What time is it?" I mumbled into my pillow."It's early. Something has come up, and I have to leave. I didn't want you to wake up alone.""Haven't you heard of leaving a note?" He grinned at me as I sat up. "Sorry next time, I'll leave a note," he laughed. "You don't need to get up, and you can stay here until it's time for school. I only woke you so you wouldn't wonder what happened when you awoke alone."

Sleeping with the enemy Chapter 23
SiennaI felt emotionally exhausted, like I could sleep for a month, and it still wouldn't be enough. On the other hand, my brain wouldn't stop running in circles. Bella and I had done nothing but lay in her bed in silence since Jace had left after deciding we would go back to my house tonight. Jace hadn't been gone long when we heard banging at the front door. We both jumped from the bed, and like with Jace, I grabbed the baseball bat, and Bella grabbed her phone, both of us freezing when the front door opened and someone started walking up the stairs."How easy is your house to break into?" I hissed to Bella."I don't know; no one has broken in before tonight," she hissed back to me."Sienna, Bella, it's Ryder. Can I come in?"We both breathed a sigh of relief as Bella opened the bedroom door. "What the fuck are you doing? I have a doorbell,""I didn't want to scare you," he replied with a shrug."Then don't break into someone's house, you moron. You ring the doorbell and wait to be

Cole"How was she?" I asked Jace as soon as he walked back through the door to the cabin.Jace motioned for me to move out of the doorway and let him in. I sighed as I watched him slowly peel his jacket off and hang it up before sitting on the couch. I knew he was purposefully taking his time to annoy me, knowing I was as wound as a coiled spring. "She's fine now that she knows you're alive. She thinks Luca and Matteo may be behind this, and she tried to batter me with a baseball bat. I told her that you would phone her. I think she will be much better when she hears your voice. I also told her that you wouldn't be able to see her for a while." he told me as he threw his phone at me. He stood from the couch, placing his hand on my shoulder. "I'll give you some privacy.” I waited until Jace had left the room and closed the door before I phoned Sienna. I was desperate to hear her voice, but truth be told, I was scared to listen to the grief and suffering that she had been through, thin
Sleeping with the enemy Chapter 21
SiennaI crumpled to the floor with Bella's arms around me when I heard the news broadcast that Cole was dead. I could hear my family talking around me, but I couldn't make myself understand. Cole's car had been found. Someone had run him off the road, and the fuel tank had ignited, and there was no way anyone inside had survived. They were saying he was dead. Cole's dead. No, that couldn't be true. I had just seen him last night, and we were meeting tonight. I was going to the cabin tonight to see him."Sienna, look at me." Bella snapped as she held my face in her hands, and I realized that this must not have been the first time she tried to get my attention. I focused on her tear-streaked face as she asked me if she could help me up. "Who" I mumbled as she shook her head and held me close. I was dimly aware of my three siblings
Sleeping with the enemy Chapter 20
Cole As soon as I dropped Sienna off at her house, I immediately wanted to drag her back out again. I knew that there was no way Luca would sit back and keep his mouth shut now that Sienna was safe and he didn't need me to look after her anymore. I also knew there was nothing he could do to stop it, but I didn't want him giving Sienna a hard time about it, even if she was adamant that she could handle Luca. The past few days with her were amazing if we just ignored why we were hiding. We were getting closer and closer. It was almost like we were back in our own wee bubble like it was when we were at the cabin when we first met before we found out about each other, and even with Bella and Jace hanging around, I loved it."How was the big romantic dinner last night," Jace asked from his spot on the sofa as soon as I walked in the door.
Sleeping with the enemy Chapter 19
SiennaThe past few days had been hard on all of us being cooped up in Jace's apartment. On the one hand, lying on the couch ordering takeout with Bella and Jace watching Grey's anatomy wasn't considered a hardship, but on the other hand, I was starting to get cabin fever, and Cole couldn't sit still. He was agitated, almost pacing around the place, constantly bringing me food and drinks, and I was going to slap him if he asked me if I was okay one more time. I told him to go out and get some air and take care of his business before I killed him. "Thank god you told him to leave", Jace commented seconds after Cole got on the elevator. "He was starting to get on my nerves with the fidgeting.""Me too," Bella laughed with him as she watched the telly. "I was going to slip some Valium in his coffee to give us a break."
Sleeping with the enemy Chapter 18
ColeI promised Sienna I'd try harder with Luca, and I would because I know that we have the same end game, and that's to keep Sienna safe, but by fuck it wasn't going to be easy. He was pushing my buttons, throwing his weight around as if I was just going to stand back and let him walk in here and take Sienna away from me to god knows where, as if this wasn't his fault, to begin with. Acting like this was somehow my fault instead.After Sienna was dressed, we walked back out, and I quickly saw that Luca wasn't any calmer and was still insisting that Sienna and Bella leave with him as he wasn't happy about them being in the middle of nowhere if anything happened. He had spoken to Bianca and made her promise not to tell anyone, not even Steve, about Sienna and me, but he wasn't sure if she had already blabbed to anyone once she had worked out why Steve was attacked. Luca sa
Sleeping with the enemy Chapter 17
Sienna"I need to talk to my sister alone."I looked at Luca, and I knew this was coming, and I was surprised at how calm he was. "Follow me," I said as I stood up and walked through to the bedroom, closing the door behind us."How are you doing?" He asked as he gently pulled me into his arms."I've been better," I told him honestly as I returned his hug."Why didn't you tell me any of this. We used to be so close." Luca looked sad."I didn't think the shooting had anything to do with me. I thought it was a case of wrong place, wrong time, and I didn't want you to go overboard again. I didn't know who Cole was, but I liked him, and I thought if he knew who I was, he might not be interested, so I didn't tell
Sleeping with the enemy Chapter 16
ColeThis month has been the longest month ever without Sienna. We've texted all the time and have spoken every night, except for the night Natalia opened her big mouth and told her about Bianca's visit to my office. She was so angry that I hadn't told her, and I think it stemmed from jealousy, but once I explained that I had planned to tell her everything once she was back from her holiday, she calmed down. She sent lots of photos, and it looked like she was having a great time, but she was back tonight, and I couldn't wait to see her tomorrow. She phoned me earlier tonight to let me know she was home safely and told me what Bianca had said, and I honestly thought that killing Steve was my best bet because there was no way he would be in her house. Sienna somehow managed to calm me down, which I was still unsure about because no one could calm me as she could. I had a meeting in the afternoon with her brothers ab
