Knox’s POV

Where the Hell Did She Come From?

Shit, I don’t even remember walking to the elevator. One minute I’m watching her strut out of that conference room like she owned it, and the next I’m floating in a fog of confusion and some unholy level of arousal.

What the hell just happened? What is happening to me?

Where did this girl come from?

Sienna isn't even my type. I mean, yeah, she has a gorgeous face, doe eyes, and confidence for days. But she’s... thicker than I usually go for. Shorter. Soft in places I’m not used to being drawn to.

But damn if that shit isn’t working for her.

She’s smart. Like dangerously smart. And watching her run circles around grown men in that meeting while her voice didn’t so much as quiver? Yeah. My dick noticed.

So why am I thinking about her?

Why do I want to know what her perfume smells like on my pillow?

You’re losing it, Knox.

Suddenly, a hand slaps my shoulder. Hard.

  • WITHOUT WARNING: Book 2 Of The Redemption Series    Chapter 25 Meetings and Owning It

    Third Person POV Crandon Morgan stood the moment the double doors opened, adjusting the cuff of his shirt as he walked forward to greet the man of the hour. “Mayor Rogers,” he said with a firm nod, extending his hand.“Crandon,” Mayor Stanley Rogers replied, returning the shake with equal strength.The mayor was flanked by two members of his team, both suited, both serious, but it was Stanley who commanded the room. His presence was undeniable, with every step he took from the entrance to the head of the long glass table was calculated and smooth. As he walked, he made it a point to shake every hand in the room.His hand lingered slightly longer when it reached Sienna’s.“Miss Carter,” he said with a slow smile, his thumb brushing her knuckles just barely before he let go. Sienna gave a polite nod, but her eyes flicked immediately to Knox Michaels, who had frozen mid-sip of his water, jaw tight, eyes locked on the exchange.The next lingering touch was on Susan’s hand, another pause,

  • WITHOUT WARNING: Book 2 Of The Redemption Series    Chapter 26 Friday Meetings

    Crandon’s POVThe elevator doors slid open with a soft ding, and I stepped onto the top floor of the firm.Today was anything but a normal Friday.No sneakers. No vintage band tees. No casual small talk in the break room.Everyone was suited, pressed, and polished.Mayor Stanley Rogers was coming in for two very specific reasons, one his embezzlement case, which we were representing him on, and to discuss plans for the city's new charity revitalization project based in Evanston. A new image. A fresh cause. He needed the legal protection and the PR repair, and we were the ones doing both.I adjusted the cuff of my navy jacket, the one with the satin trim that only came out when things got political or high profile. Today checked both boxes.And then she walked in.Carmen.I swear the air changed.She was usually the casual standout, always in some fly streetwear look, cropped jackets, bold patterns, heavy gold hoops. But today, she was corporate elegance wrapped in edge. A fitted white

    Explicit Scenes Ahead Sienna’s POVThursday came fast and dragged all at the same time. Alex and I had been texting like teenagers, nonstop. Good morning messages, funny memes, inside jokes… It felt so natural. So easy. He came over last night, and we almost crossed that line, but he pulled back. He said he really liked me and didn’t want to rush. Sweet, right? And frustrating. But also… it's kind of hot.Now, here I am, back at work, dealing with the constant emotional whiplash that is Knox Michaels.Lately, he’s been different. Close. Flirty even. We’ve been joking a lot, sharing inside looks, little nudges. Like the line between boss and coworker blurred overnight and now we’re dancing on it every damn day.Tonight was no exception. We were going through evidence with a fine-tooth comb, because Mayor Asshole is coming in tomorrow for an update.“Most of the videos show the suspect withdrawing the cash with a medical mask and hoodie on,” Trevor noted, eyes glued to the screen.“And

    Sienna's POV The place is finally cleared out. The last half naked girl clutches her heels unlike her dignity and stumbles out the front door with one eyelash hanging on for dear life. I shut it behind her with a sigh so sharp it could slice a diamond.My brother, Stephen, better known as Stink, lounges on the couch in basketball shorts like it’s his personal throne. He cracks open a Sprite, looking every bit like the star of MTV Cribs: Couch Crasher Edition.Sienna, with her arms crossed, "So you just thought my house was Magic City tonight, huh?"Stink says, grinning"C’mon, Cece. Don’t be like that. It wasn’t even that deep. I pay rent too!"I scoff while staring daggers, "I came home smelling like hibachi and hope, and found Titties & Tequila: The Extended Cut happening on my damn couch."Stink shrugging, "You act like I didn’t clean up after. Look, the cushions ain’t even sticky."I scream,"...Stephen!"Stink sighs,"My bad, my bad! I just figured you’d be out late. You are al

    Sienna’s POVOkay, so boom, this tall, caramel dipped piece of God’s finest creation walks me to his car and opens the door like we’re filming a Netflix rom-com. I damn near giggled. Like, for real, my lip did that little wibble wobble, and I had to bite it before I embarrassed myself.“Pull it together, sis,” I whispered to my damn self.But how am I supposed to act normal when Officer Fine As Hell smells like woodsy vanilla and ambition? His cologne hugged me tighter than my last situationship. And don’t even get me started on his jawline, it’s giving superhero. It's giving I bench press 250 but still go to therapy. The man is dangerous.He slid into the driver’s seat like a man with purpose and a playlist to match. And sure enough, he had ’90s R&B queued up, Jodeci, Jagged Edge, Usher Confessions Part II. I was in the passenger seat trying not to make eye contact because one more slow jam and I was about to risk it all.We pulled up to Kona Grill, and I was impressed. Not too flash

    Knox’s POVFriday AfternoonAfter Sienna Leaves OfficeWhat the hell just happened? Seriously, for real, what in the entire hell just happened? Where did she even get that outfit from? That jumpsuit looked see through, like it was painted onto her body by a damn angel with a filthy imagination. From her beautiful, perky mounds to that soft, round ass, she was a walking fantasy. The outline of her body was like something straight out of my dreams. My mouth literally watered. I mean, literally. And the worst part? She acted like I wasn’t even in the damn room.I sat there, frozen, the whole time they were talking like I wasn’t present. All I could do was stare at her lush lips and picture them wrapped around my cock. I felt myself twitching in my seat, but I couldn’t do anything. Not with Carmen and Kira right there. And definitely not with her being an employee.But then she dropped the bomb... she had a date tonight.With that fake-ass detective, Alex, whatever his name is.Red. I
