LOGINKNOX'S POVWe stepped into the cozy Italian restaurant, and right away, we were greeted by Pauly, the host. He gave me a big smile, then led us over to a quiet, intimate booth tucked away in the corner.Once we sat down, Sienna looked around, smiling."This place is beautiful," she said. "How'd you even find it?"I leaned back in my seat, smirking."I had a client a while back, a guy from Italy. His brother Rogelio owns this spot. I handled an audit on their taxes. They were missing a ton of receipts. I helped 'em out big time, so now, you know, I come by when I can. Food’s definitely legit."Before Sienna could say anything else, Marie came over, all smiles."Knox!"I stood up and pulled her into a warm hug."Marie, this is my girl, Sienna. Sienna, this is Marie, Rogelio's wife."Sienna stood up to shake her hand, but Marie wasn't having it, she wrapped her up in a hug instead."You treat this boy good," Marie said, laughing. "He’s a good one."Sienna chuckled, giving me a side-eye.
Third Person POVSienna was working diligently with juggling the mayor’s case and the massive Universal Airlines lawsuit.That case was much bigger, requiring every ounce of her focus. She worked closely with Trevor, Knox, and Susan by gathering witnesses and financial data and preparing for a full class action with the help of Tiffany and Silas Morgan.If they pulled this off, the case would be a complete windfall for the Morgan & Michaels firm.As Sienna wrapped up sending a managerial email to the mayor’s office, locking in a meeting time, she checked the clock. The court hearing for Tyler and his girlfriend was scheduled for Monday at 11 AM.She hit her last keystroke just as Kira strolled into her office.Sienna leaned back and said in a smartass tone, "Well, come on in."Kira flopped into a chair. "I have a question for you," she said, grinning. "Because there’s a lot of gossip going around, and you know I gets all the tea."Sienna smirked. "What’s the tea, sis?"Kira leaned for
Sienna’s POVNoon hit, and my stomach wouldn’t stop growling.I was about to order something when Knox texted me.Knox:Come to my office. I got lunch.I smiled, grabbing my phone and notebook.It was Casual Friday, but I'd still dressed nicely, fitted jeans, a light silky blouse that hugged my curves without trying too hard, and ankle boots.My braids were pulled half up, the rest cascading down my back.I walked down the hall toward Knox’s office.The 8th floor was quiet, most of the firm out to lunch or holed up in their offices.His door was open a crack, the smell of warm bread and roasted chicken floating out.Corner Bakery.He really did know how to make a girl melt.I pushed the door open and stepped inside, quietly locking it behind me.Knox looked up, his dark eyes softening when they landed on me."Come eat," he said, pushing a bag toward me across the desk.His sleeves were rolled up, and even half casual, he looked mouthwatering.I slid into the chair across from him, pu
Sienna’s POVBy the time we finally got dressed and decided to go to work, it was almost 8:30. I already knew we were gonna be late because rush hour headed downtown Chicago was no fucking joke, but we didn’t really give a damn. We made the decision to ride together because honestly, it just felt right.I grabbed my stuff, messenger bag, my tablet, a couple file folders, my purse, my coffee in one hand, and a breakfast sandwich in the other, and threw on a nice top with some jeans. It was Friday, so business casual was good enough. If it wasn’t for the mayor's case, we wouldn’t have even bothered showing up, but arrests were made and duty called.We jumped into Knox’s SUV, and before he pulled off, I glanced over at him."What do you think people are gonna say when they see us together?" I asked.Knox just grabbed my hand, kissed my knuckles slow and soft, and said, "Fuck them. This is our relationship. Not theirs."That was all I needed to hear.When we got to the parking garage, I h
Adult themes ahead talks of abuseKnox’s POVI look at my girl, yes my girl, stretched out across the couch, hair messy, lips swollen, body still trembling from what we just did.Satisfaction paints her face, the kind she’s never had before, not with me, not with anyone. Only now.I lean down, kiss her mouth, then scoop her up into my arms. We’ve got work in the morning, but fuck if I care right now.I carry her to bed, lay her down gently. She’s already half out, snoring like a freight train.I chuckle to myself and head to the bathroom, grabbing a wet towel to wipe away the evidence of our wreckage.I pull back the covers, tuck her in, clean her off the best I can without waking her. She’s still out cold. Good. She needs the rest after the way I wrecked her.I grab all the clothes we left scattered everywhere and toss the leftovers from dinner into the fridge.Phone on the dresser.Boxers on.Lights off.I climb into bed and pull my baby against me, spooning her soft ass like it’s
Adult scenes aheadThird-person POVAfter the therapy session, he was still processing his conversation with Dr. Thompson. He knew he needed to focus on the task at hand tonight, telling Sienna his story, and that meant putting everything else aside. He grabbed his Outback Steakhouse order, knowing that a hearty meal would help settle his nerves. The weight of the day’s events seemed to fade a little, though his thoughts still lingered on his therapy session and his growing feelings for Sienna.Arriving at Sienna's house just before 8, Knox took a deep breath before ringing the doorbell. When the door opened, the sight of Sienna in that black fitted dress nearly knocked the breath out of him. She looked effortlessly stunning, even with her messy bun and no makeup. His mind raced, but he quickly reminded himself of why he was here. His feelings for her were complicated, but tonight was about honesty.“Are you coming in or not?” she asked, breaking his trance.“Yeah,” he responded, his
