SIENNA’S POV Kieran’s eyes went wide. He froze, looking at me like he couldn't quite process the words. "I... I didn't hear what you said. Say it again?"​I chuckled, leaning in closer. "I said, I love how intentional you are.""Then..." he trailed off, his voice breathless.​"What?" I teased.​"The last part," he urged, his grip on my waist tightening slightly. "What did you say after that?"​"I said... babe."​Kieran actually let out a breathy giggle, his hand flying to his chest as if he were trying to keep his heart from leaping out. "You called me babe. Say that again."​He leaned down, burying his face in the crook of my neck for a second, acting like a giddy teenager. "I never want to leave your arms, my queen.""Queen? Is that what you're calling me now?" I asked and rolled my eyes to hide the heat rising in my cheeks, but secretly, the title made me stand a little taller. It made me feel special.He pulled back, his fingers caressing my hair, tucking a stray strand behind my

SIENNA'S POVIt was Chloe. "Hello." She offered a smile, but it remained fixed and hollow, never reaching her eyes."Hi." I smiled back awkwardly, craning my neck, checking the shadows of the empty hallway. "What are you doing here, Chloe?"​"Look, I know my parents don’t like you. Or my Uncle. And trust me, they didn't send me. I came on my own."​I leaned against the doorframe, watching her. "And...?"​"Can we talk inside? Please." She was trembling, her eyes darting back toward the stairs. "I don't want my mom to see me here."​I stepped back, pulling the door open just enough for her to slip through. She hurried inside, and I clicked the lock behind her. She looked tiny in the center of the room, her fingers twisting the hem of her oversized sweater until the wool was stretched thin.​"Chloe? What’s going on?"​"I’ve always liked you, Sienna," she said, the words coming out in a breathless rush. "Since the first day you walked in. I love... I love how you don't let my parents pu

SIENNA’S POV If only she knew he handled me so well in that area. Every time he touched me, it was like a fuse being lit. I thought about the way he moved, the heat of his body, and the way he seemed to know exactly what I needed before I even knew it myself.​Just thinking about it made a familiar, heavy ache settle deep in my core. He wasn't just active; he was a force of nature. Every bit of him was pure satisfaction.​"You don't need to worry about that, Grandma," I said, finally forcing myself to meet her eyes, though I knew my face was still bright red. "My husband is... very well. Medically speaking, he has absolutely no issues."​"So, he’s been active?" She saw me struggling to keep a straight face and waved a hand dismissively. "No, I don't need the details! I just need to know if he has actually slept with you."​I gave a small, jerky nod, my heart racing. "He has. He’s definitely not what you think, Grandma. He’s very active. You have nothing to worry about."​She patted m

SIENNA’S POV That smile from Victor was devilish. It was technically a smile, but it carried a kind of darkness that made my skin crawl. It felt like a warning, like he was already two steps ahead of a game we didn't even know we were playing.​Beside me, Kieran didn’t seem to notice—or maybe he just didn't care. His focus was entirely on me.​Under the table, his fingers moved higher up my thigh. I could feel every single path his touch took, the heat of his skin seeping through my bare skin. He was just casually caressing me, acting like we were just having a normal breakfast, but it was doing so much more to me than he realized.​My heart was thudding against my ribs, and it was getting harder to keep my breathing steady. Every time his thumb brushed a little higher, a spark shot through me, making it impossible to focus on anything else.Vanessa cleared her throat as she shoved her gift box closer to Grandma. "Grandma, why don't you open my gift? I hope you like this. It’s a cus

KIERAN’S POV Sienna went totally stiff under my hand. "What is she even doing here?" she muttered, barely audible.​I just shrugged. Honestly, I was just as caught off guard as she was.​"Morning, guys," Vanessa said, practically gliding into the room. "Hope I didn’t miss anything."​As she got closer, she spotted Sienna. For a split second, her face dropped and she slowed down, but she did a quick reset and headed straight for Grandma.​"Happy Birthday, Grandma!" She gave her a hug and slid a gift box onto the table. "Just a little something for you."​"Thanks, Vanessa. You’re always so consistent," Grandma said, sounding actually happy to see her.​Vanessa caught Sienna’s eye with this smug little look, like she was clearly the favorite. Sienna didn't even give her the satisfaction of a flinch; she just gave her a dry smile back.​"Let’s just sit," I said, tapping Sienna’s hand. she gave me a small, thankful look.​I stepped behind the chair right next to mine and pulled it out. Be

KIERAN’S POV​I slowly let her slide down until her feet hit the tile. I didn't want to let go. My hands lingered on her waist, and for a second, I just watched the water wash the steam off her skin. That "quickie" wasn't just a physical release; it felt like a collision.​"We are so dead," she panted, wiping water from her face.​"Probably," I rasped, finally reaching for the handle to turn the water off.​The silence that followed was heavy, broken only by the sound of our breathing. And the worst part? I would do it again in a heartbeat, if she would let me.​Sienna playfully hit me on the chest like she knew exactly what I was thinking. "We need to hurry. For real this time."​We dried off and started getting dressed. The room was still thick with steam, making everything feel like a blur.​"I need help," she muttered. She was standing in front of the mirror, struggling with a zipper that wouldn't budge.​I walked up behind her. The dress was short, with a low-cut back that showed
