Chapter 11

Morning light streamed through the glass walls, turning everything white and gold. Sienna lay in bed listening to Noah move around the room, humming softly as he got dressed.

She kept her eyes closed, pretending to sleep. Pretending she hadn't spent the night staring at the ceiling, thinking about dark eyes and cruel smile.

"Morning, beautiful," Noah said, pressing a kiss to her cheek. His lips were warm and gentle. Everything Landon's weren't.

She opened her eyes and forced a smile. "Morning."

"I'm going to run into town for supplies," he said, adjusting his collar in the mirror. "Groceries, wine, maybe some flowers for the table. I want to make today perfect."

Perfect. The word that defined her entire life.

"That sounds nice."

"I'll be back in a couple hours. Why don't you relax? Read a book. Enjoy the view." He kissed her forehead. "I love you."

"Love you too," she said automatically.

She watched from the window as his car disappeared down the long driveway, taking her s

  • BOUND TO THE WRONG CALLAHAN   Chapter 13

    Chapter 13Morning came too soon.Sienna woke wrapped in Noah's arms, his body warm against her back. His breathing was slow and steady. Peaceful. Like a man with no secrets.She envied him.The memories from last night crashed over her. Landon with that woman. The sounds through the walls. His cruel words in the hallway. The footsteps outside her door.Noah's arm tightened around her waist and she felt like she was drowning."Morning, beautiful," he said, his voice thick with sleep. He pressed a kiss to her shoulder. "Sleep well?"The lie came easily. "Yes.""Good. I was thinking we could make breakfast together. Maybe walk on the beach after.""Sounds wonderful," she said.Noah stretched and got out of bed, humming softly. Everything about him was light and uncomplicated. Everything Landon wasn't."I'll start the coffee," Noah said, pulling on a t-shirt. "Come down when you're ready."She watched him leave, then buried her face in the pillow. Every kindness from Noah was a reminder

    Chapter 12Dinner had been torture.Three hours of polite conversation and expensive wine while Sienna tried not to look at Landon. Three hours of Noah's hand on her thigh under the table while his brother sat across from them, eating in silence.Three hours of pretending everything was normal.Now they were back in the master bedroom. Noah hummed softly as he unbuttoned his shirt, completely at ease. Completely unaware."That was nice," he said, hanging his shirt in the closet. "Quiet. Peaceful. Just what we needed."Sienna sat on the edge of the bed, still in her sundress. He was handsome. Kind. Safe.So why did she feel like she was suffocating?"Come here," Noah said softly, sitting beside her.He reached for her hand. His fingers were warm and gentle. Nothing like the fire that burned through her when Landon touched her cheek."I know today was hard," he said. "With Landon being... Landon. But we're okay."She didn't feel okay."Sienna," he said, his voice dropping lower. "Look a

    Chapter 10The ocean breeze hit her face like freedom.Sienna stepped onto the balcony, escaping the master bedroom where Noah was unpacking their clothes with the same methodical care he brought to everything. After hours in the car, after the tension and careful conversations, she could finally breathe.The sun was setting, painting the sky orange and pink. The infinity pool sparkled below.And there he was.Landon stood by the water, shirtless, a cigarette between his lips. His skin was golden in the dying light. The tattoos on his arms seemed to move in the shadows. He had his phone pressed to his ear, talking to someone in a voice too low for her to hear.Then he laughed.Sharp. Cold. Nothing like the warm laughter from that night on the beach.Their eyes met across the distance.For a moment, neither of them moved. The cigarette smoke drifted between them like a ghost.His gaze was ice. Mocking. Like she was some pathetic creature he found amusing.Then he turned away. As if she

  • BOUND TO THE WRONG CALLAHAN   Chapter 9

    Chapter 9The Callahan mansion felt different on Sunday morning. Eleanor moved through the drawing room like a queen preparing for battle. Her silk dress was perfectly pressed. Her pearls caught the morning light.Sienna sat on the cream sofa next to Noah, watching his mother pace. Something was coming. She could feel it in the air."I've been thinking," Eleanor said, turning to face them with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "About family unity. About bonds that need strengthening before the wedding."Noah leaned forward. "What do you mean?""The beach house in the Hamptons. It's been sitting empty all season." Eleanor's eyes moved between Noah and Sienna. "I think you two should spend some time there. A few weeks. Before the wedding madness begins."A few weeks. Alone with Noah. Sienna's stomach clenched."That sounds wonderful," Noah said, reaching for her hand. "Doesn't it, sweetheart? Just the two of us."Before Sienna could answer, the drawing room door opened.Landon walked

    Chapter 8The restaurant was everything Noah loved. Expensive. Elegant. The kind of place where powerful people made important decisions over thousand dollar bottles of wine.Sienna sat across from him at their corner table, watching him study the menu with the same focus he brought to business deals. Her engagement ring caught the candlelight."The lobster looks incredible," Noah said. "Or maybe the wagyu. What do you think?""Whatever you want," she said automatically.He glanced up with a smile. "You're being very agreeable tonight. I like it."Agreeable. Like that was her job. To be easy. A decoration that never caused problems."So I was thinking," Noah said, reaching for her hand. "Maybe we should move up the wedding date. Why wait until spring? We could do it in December. Christmas wedding."Christmas. Three months away."That's soon," she managed."Too soon? I just thought, why wait when we know what we want?"Do we? she wanted to ask. Do you know what you want? Because I have
