“Tell the guys to leave. Dominic’s not showing up tonight,” I said to Michael, one of my right-hand men. “Handle the guy, but don’t kill him.”
He nodded, and I slipped into my Bentley.
Finally, I could focus on the woman beside me.
Sienna looked nervous as I shut the door. Surprising. She hadn’t seemed nervous all night.
Before I walked up to her, she was about to be snatched by one of the guys Michael had ordered to grab her. A quirky little thing, trying to sneak shots of my men like she was invisible. At first, I thought Dominic had sent her to spy on us. But one look at the way she fumbled, the way her ID peeked from her bag, told me otherwise.
She wasn’t a plant.
She was just a nosy, reckless investigative journalist.
And fuck if that didn’t thrill me.
Not just because she was drop-dead gorgeous—which I’d already clocked before she started recording—but because this was hands down the most dangerous thing I’d done in years.
Hooking up with a journalist. Right after ordering a torture session for one of Dominic’s boys.
I was supposed to keep my hands clean, stay far away from anyone remotely connected to the authorities. But Sienna?
She was irresistible.
And dangerous.
I reached for her thigh, my fingers pressing lightly, reassuring.
I leaned in, my lips brushing her ear. “You got a hotel you’re comfortable with?”
She swallowed. “No.”
“Leighton’s,” I told the driver. The car started moving immediately.
I turned back to my little journalist.
Before she could react, I grabbed her by the waist and pulled her onto my lap.
A stunned gasp left her lips as she landed against me.
But I didn’t give her a chance to recover.
I tilted her chin up, caught her lips with mine. She inhaled sharply, but then—she melted. Her mouth parted, welcoming me in. Our tongues tangled, her body pressing even closer, and fuck—
This was already a bad idea.
But I wasn’t stopping now.
Dang sienna is so ht, I could barely wait to get to the hotel room. My hands slid under her shirt, gliding over smooth skin as I found her bra. I squeezed her breast through the fabric, but I wanted it gone. She moaned against my mouth, grinding on my aching cock.
“We’re here,” the driver announced.
I pulled back, breath ragged, struggling to regain control before responding.
“Okay. Don’t wait up.”
With a sigh, I eased Sienna back into her seat. She quickly smoothed out her clothes, but I wished I could just teleport her inside without breaking apart.
I stepped out, opened her door, and led her up to the room. More like my room. The one I crashed in every time. The staff didn’t even wait for me to ask for the key anymore—it was always ready.
As expected, the door was already unlocked when we arrived.
Inside, Sienna hesitated, glancing around.
“You nervous?” I asked.
“Not really.”
“Need a drink?”
“No, I’m good.”
“Then kiss me.”
I scooped her up, carrying her straight to the bed. My lips trailed from her neck downward as my hands slipped under her bra, finding her hardened nipple. She moaned, her body arching toward me.
My squirmy journalist.
I started peeling off her clothes, and she eagerly helped. When she reached for me, I caught her wrists.
Pinning her hands above her head, I leaned in, sucking gently on her nipple. Her reaction only made me want more.
I pressed slow, teasing kisses lower, tracing the softness of her stomach, feeling the way her skin twitched beneath my touch. But there was a problem—she didn’t listen. Her hands kept slipping free, trying to roam, trying to take control.
I reached for her shirt and quickly knotted her wrists together.
She gasped, eyes wide with protest—until I pulled her thighs against me. My fingers brushed over her damp underwear, and whatever complaint she had died in a moan.
She was already so wet for me. I smirked.
My fingers slid over her clit, teasing, then dipped inside her. Her whole body twitched.
She tried to say something, but I deepened the movement, working her open, feeling her tighten around me.
“You’re beautiful, Sienna,” I murmured, watching her unravel beneath me. “Let me take care of you.”
She was close—I could tell.
“Wait—wait—” she gasped.
I didn’t.
I kept going until she was shaking, moaning, completely undone. When she finally came, her face twisted in pure pleasure—easily the most beautiful expression I’d ever seen.
My cock throbbed painfully against my trousers, desperate to be inside her.
Her breathing steadied, but her eyes sharpened. “Untie me.”
I smirked. “I don’t want to.”
Her expression darkened. “Fucking untie me.”
“Or what?” I chuckled.
She squirmed, trying to pull away, closing her thighs—blocking my perfect view of her still-pulsing entrance.
“Or I leave,” she challenged.
I yanked her back. “I’m afraid I’m in control here.”
I slid her thighs open again, watching the way she tensed, resisting—but not really.
“If you want me to stop, I will,” I told her, voice low.
“But I’m the only one naked,” she snapped.
I grinned. “I enjoy the view, firecracker.”
She opened her mouth to argue, but I didn’t feel like talking anymore.
I needed to be inside her.
Reaching into my pocket, I grabbed protection, unzipped my trousers, rolled it on, and pressed against her entrance.
She gasped.
Then, in one sharp thrust, I pushed inside.
Her breath hitched—too shocked to make a sound—but fuck, so was I.
She was impossibly tight, warm, pulsing around me like she was made for this.
I didn’t give her time to adjust—I started moving, deep and fast.
She moaned, back arching, body taking every inch of me. The louder she got, the deeper I went, unable to hold back, unable to stop.
And when I finally buried myself inside her, spilling deep—she clenched around me, trembling, coming undone all over again.
Her body twitched beneath mine as I pulled out.
But one look at her—flushed, panting, eyes still hazy with pleasure—and my cock hardened again.
I smirked.
Then I started all over.
SiennaI glared at the man—whose name I still didn’t even know—untied me. My anger simmered, but exploding felt pointless when the person I was furious with was watching me like this was exactly the reaction he expected.The moment my hands were free, a dull ache spread through my wrists. I ignored it, along with the lingering soreness between my legs, and pushed myself up.Big mistake.The second my feet hit the rug, my legs buckled, and I collapsed right back onto the bed. Heat rushed to my face as I yanked the covers over me, hoping to bury the embarrassment along with myself. But no matter how deep I tried to disappear, I felt him—felt every reminder of what we’d just done, the ache throbbing between my thighs.And him?He said nothing.Just let me wallow in my humiliation, watching in silence while I struggled to figure out what the hell came next.Do I just leave?Say nice to meet you?Ask for his damn name?No. Screw that. I was angry.I spent the entire time tied up, unable to
Adrian"What are you doing here?" I asked as I took my seat beside Sienna."What do you mean, what am I doing here?" she shot back, a little too sharp, a little too defensive.I didn’t have time for this. My gaze flicked to Natasha. "You’ll take care of her, right?"She gave a firm nod before shrugging off her bartending apron and disappearing into the back.I scanned the room, subtle but efficient, and my guys nodded in silent confirmation. We dodged the ambush.Minutes ago, I had just returned from an international business event—something about cultural unity, whatever the hell that meant. My liquor company had been handpicked to create a limited edition release for the upcoming summit. Good for business. Great for credibility.But just after the contract signing, Michael called.Dominic was making his move.The bastard had been trying to get his right-hand man back—the one we’d been holding for three days now. And knowing Dominic, he wouldn't come at us head-on. He’d send an ambus
SiennaThe weight of what had just happened crashed down on me.I had basically been kidnapped.Shoved into a luxurious car with a mafia leader—or gang leader—or whatever the hell he was—the man I hooked up with last night.And now? I couldn’t escape.The more I stared out the window, the more civilization faded away. Buildings turned to empty roads. Roads turned to nothing. No people. No signs of life.A cold dread crept up my spine. My mind reeled.This year was supposed to be my fresh start. I wanted to make my life better.Instead, I’d walked straight into my own grave.I turned to the man beside me. I still didn’t know his name.Tears I hadn’t realized were there slipped down onto my lap. I caught my reflection in the tinted glass—I looked like a mess."Sir." My voice was barely a whisper.I made myself small, curling in on myself. What was he going to do to me?Flash after flash of horror filled my mind. Trafficking? Murder? We were in the middle of nowhere. No one would ever fi
“Boss,” Natasha called as she stepped closer, heels silent on the marble floor. I was just finishing buttoning my shirt.I turned to her, my eyes cold at the thought of Dominic. “Did they find something?”She shook her head. “Dominic’s all bark. Half the contacts he brags about don’t even exist.”“Then why are we still talking about him?”She hesitated. “It’s the girl.”I paused. “What girl?”“The one you picked up from the club. She saw too much. I don’t like her sitting alone in that room. And I really don’t like not knowing what she’ll do next.”I glanced over my shoulder as I stepped out into the hallway. “I’ll handle it.”Her lips pressed into a line. Not satisfied. Not reassured. I couldn’t blame her. Especially not if the rumors were true—that Sienna wasn’t just some pretty thing with a journalist job. Natasha had found out about her record earlier this morning, and she is pretty impressive. She is one of the dangerous ones. The kind that are criminals' worst nightmare, I hea
SiennaWhat the hell. What the actual hell is going on?I was lying flat on the cold bathroom floor, heart crashing against my ribcage like it wanted to rip through my skin. My palms burned as I pushed the bathroom door shut, quietly, cautiously—like even the sound of breath could give me away. My mind was sprinting faster than my feet ever could.I’m not dying here. Not in this place. Not like this. Not after being stupid enough to go look for one night stand again. Thirty minutes ago, I was pacing the room like a caged animal, staring at the same four walls I'd already memorized twice over. Trying to plot my escape out of here, That’s when I noticed it—another door. Not the bathroom. Different. Smaller. Tucked somewhere in the walk in closet like it didn’t want to be found or wasn't meant to be foundCuriosity did what curiosity always does. It dragged me by the throat.I moved—just a step. Just one.CRACK.A gunshot. A real one. The wall beside me splintered open, the bullet car
Adrian"You’re safe now." The words slipped out as I pulled her trembling body into mine, holding her tight like the world might still try to steal her. One of the guys silently handed me a tissue, and I took it, wiping the streak of blood running down my hand—blood from where she’d bitten me. Hard. She had fought like a wildcat, and I couldn’t decide if I was pissed or turned on.“I could’ve died,” she whispered. Again. Like she needed me to hear it, to understand the fear still caught in her throat. She clung to me, digging into my shirt with both fists, and for a second, I couldn’t breathe.I signaled to the boys—get the car. Now.Her face was wrecked. Eyes glassy, cheeks flushed, her body still wracked with adrenaline. No visible wounds, but the trauma she just went through radiated through her. I looked her over again, slower this time.“Where are you hurt?” I asked.She didn’t answer. Just cried harder.Thirty minutes earlier, I’d gotten the call—gunshots, chaos, and Sienna m
SiennaI pulled my dress back on with trembling hands, my skin still tingling from where his fingers had touched, where his eyes had wandered. It shouldn’t have felt the way it did. Not after what I’d just survived. Not after being soaked in blood—real or not.I turned away from him, from the heat still simmering in the air, and stared out the car window. It was the only thing I could do—look and pretend like I wasn’t unraveling inside.That man—who still hadn’t told me his name—was walking toward the group of people tied down like animals. But my breath still caught when he kicked the first man- his man in the leg—hard. The guy collapsed like a puppet cut from its strings. I flinched, eyes going wide.He was so calm when he held me earlier. So gentle when he touched my skin, stripped me of my clothes, checked my body like he owned every inch of it. And now he was unrecognizable—brutal, cold, merciless.The others—four men and a woman—stood frozen. I could almost feel their confusion
SiennaWorking for eight days straight has to be a violation of my human rights—except I can’t sue anyone but myself. Even my own boss had been telling me to rest. But if I, Sienna Carter, didn’t get to the bottom of this story and publish it, today would have been a bad day for me. I would’ve been at home, rotting away, still thinking about how I could be finishing the story.I smiled to myself, bobbing my head to the cool music playing in the bar I had just stepped into.
