Pleasure

Sienna’s POV

The morning breeze slipped in through the curtains, carrying the faint scent of the city. I rolled over and found him still asleep, looking almost peaceful. Like the chaos that ruled his world didn’t exist in this bed.

His eyelids fluttered open, revealing those cold, steel-grey eyes. God, he was beautiful. And dangerous. I wondered for a moment what his baby would look like—

Oh, hell. Speaking of babies… I hadn’t been on birth control.

“Good morning,” he murmured, his deep voice snapping me out of my thoughts.

“Morning,” I said softly.

He slid an arm around my waist, pulling me closer, and kissed me. The heat of his mouth lingered as his hand trailed down my thigh. We were still tangled naked under the luxury sheets of my new penthouse.

“Take the day off, baby. You’re sore,” he said with a smirk, sitting up.

I blushed. “You’re not helping.”

Before I could move, he scooped me into his arms. My legs instinctively wrapped around his waist. He kissed me again as he carried me into the massive glass shower. The water burst to life, steam wrapping around us. Then he slid inside me, slow, deep, like he was savoring every second.

“Yes… Nic…” I moaned as he pressed his lips to my neck.

“I love being inside you, Sienna,” he groaned, pumping harder now.

I clung to him, nails digging into his broad shoulders. “I’m all yours, Nic. Just yours.”

“Say it again,” he whispered against my ear.

“I’m yours,” I breathed, and he came deep inside me.

Afterward, he was already on the phone, his voice sharp and all business. “I’ll be there soon. Have the documents ready on my desk.”

His free hand brushed my neck, thumb grazing the fresh hickey.

“You seem stressed,” he said.

“Thanks to you,” I muttered, flopping back onto the bed.

“Not my fault you’re so damn sweet,” he said with a crooked smile as he buttoned his shirt.

“My housekeeper will stop by today to drop off some of my things. I’ll keep clothes here for when I stay over.”

I nodded. “Okay.”

He leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to my forehead. “Prepare for the weekend. Text me if you need anything.” Then he was gone.

I stared at the door after it closed. I didn’t know exactly what I felt. But every time I was with him, I felt… safe. Pampered. Like I mattered. Like maybe this was more than just pleasure.

But I knew better.

“Hey bitch, drop the location to your new crib!” Kate’s voice boomed through the phone.

“Yes, ma’am,” I said with a smile.

A few hours later

The knock came loud and sharp.

Kate was the first to arrive. “Oh my God, babe—this place is massive!” she gasped, stepping inside like she’d walked into a palace.

“Spill the beans,” she demanded, dropping onto the sleek designer couch.

“He was here earlier,” I said, flicking on the giant TV.

Kate smirked. “How many rounds?”

“Kate!” I laughed, tossing a pillow at her.

The doorbell rang again.

This time, a woman in her late forties stood outside. Black T-shirt, white pants, serious expression.

“Yes?” I asked.

“I work for Mr. Steele,” she said, eyes scanning me like she was sizing me up.

“Oh… come in.”

She stepped inside, briefcase in hand. I pointed her toward the walk-in closet.

Kate raised an eyebrow. “Who’s that?”

“Nic’s housekeeper. He’s leaving some of his stuff here.”

Kate grinned. “Girl… he’s hooked.”

Dominic’s POV

“Hi, Mum.”

“Nic, cancel your trip this weekend. We’re throwing your engagement party—yours and Clara’s.”

“It’s important business. We’ll do the party when I’m back,” I said, hanging up before she could argue.

I didn’t want to spend the weekend with Clara. I wanted Sienna. I wanted her laugh, her body, her blue eyes looking at me like I was more than just a name or a bank account.

“Hey, man.” Andrew strolled in, holding a bottle of whiskey.

“What?” I asked.

“You free this weekend? Clubbing?”

“I’ve got plans with Sienna,” I said, taking a drag from the joint he passed me.

“Ohhh, the side chick,” he teased. “Bruh, you’re playing with fire.”

“I don’t care. It’s just pleasure. She knows the deal.”

Andrew gave me a look. “Does she? Or does she think she’s more than that? Brody told me about the engagement party. You think she’ll be cool being the side woman forever?”

I hadn’t thought about that.

Sienna as my secret forever?

There’s no future for us. I know that.

But the thought of her with another man?

Unthinkable.
