Chapter 21 Great Dates and Family Drama

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

Chapter 22 Titties and Tequila

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

Chapter 23 Shock and Awe

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

Chapter 24 Friday Meetings

Crandon’s POV The 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 e

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,

Chapter 26 Mayor Vibes

Knox POVThe scent of roasted coffee beans and powdered sugar filled the air as I stepped into the adjoining room. The mayor's team lingered by the food table, stacking small sandwiches onto napkins and sipping from paper cups filled with freshly brewed espresso and orange juice.My eyes immediately found her.Sienna stood just a few feet away, talking to two of the mayor’s aides... young, over-confident types in tight suits and glossy loafers. I could already tell they weren’t listening to a word she said. They were watching. Captivated, like deer in headlights. Couldn’t blame them, honestly. Sienna wasn’t just smart, she is magnetic. She had the kind of body that made men pause mid-sentence. Hell, even a gay man would have to admit she was... undeniable.I caught a glimpse of my cousin Carmen as she made her way through the room. Sharp as ever, confidently moving from one conversation to the next. And like clockwork, there it was again, the mayor’s eyes. Tracking her. Fixated. It di

Chapter 27 He Blew My Mind

Sienna’s POV As the mayor and his staff filed out of the conference room, I gathered the last of our folders and equipment, stacking them into my arms while still managing to keep up with Trevor’s rapid fire commentary. We headed toward my office, decompressing from the formal energy of the meeting. "So," Trevor said with a smirk, nudging me as we walked, "where's this mystery man taking you tonight?" I smiled, eyes flickering with that little spark that only Alex seemed to light in me lately. "He told me I could keep it casual. Jeans and a nice top, nothing too extra. We're going to have some fun, whatever that means." Trevor raised an eyebrow. "Fun, huh? Define fun." I laughed. "Relax. I’ve got some distressed jeans with a ton of cuts down the front, paired with a cute little off the shoulder top flirty, but not doing too much. You know, not matronly... but just enough skin to keep 'em guessing." Trevor let out a low whistle. “Okay then, come through shoulder action. You wearin

Chapter 28 Blew My Mind Continued

Explicit Scenes Ahead Sienna's POVI stood there, exposed, breath catching in my throat, pulse fluttering like a bird trapped in a cage. His eyes roamed over me with a kind of reverence, then darkened as he licked his lips, slow and deliberate.“I wish I could prepare you for today,” he murmured, voice thick with heat. “But I’m just gonna do my best.”His hand reached between us, warm and rough and sure. When his fingers grazed that sensitive bundle of nerves, my body reacted instantly. A moan escaped before I could stop it.He didn’t rush, his fingers just circled, teased, and tested how ready I was. Then his fingers slid inside me, and I let out another soft gasp.“Mmm,” he growled low in his throat. “You’re wet enough... this’ll do just fine.” His eyes met mine, blazing. “We’ll make it work, baby.”He sat back on the couch, legs spread, and unbuttoned his pants like he owned the air between us. When he pulled out a golden wrapper and opened it, my lips parted at the sight of him,

Chapter 29 Slight Revelations

Explicit Scenes Ahead Knox’s POV I come back with a handful of wet wipes, kneel behind her, and take my time, and make slow, deliberate strokes, while cleaning her up gently. Her head is resting on the back of the couch, eyes half-lidded, watching me.I kiss the curve of her ass between wipes, soft presses of my lips against her skin. She lets out the faintest sigh.But when I get to that sensitive bundle of nerves, I pay extra attention. A moan escapes her, soft and unintentional. I glance up at her, and then, fuck it, I give in.I kiss clit. Just once. Just enough to taste the memory of her.I've never done that for anyone after having sex before.She stares down at me, confused. “Knox… what is this?”I pause, still crouched between her thighs. “What do you mean, what is this?”She lifts her head, this time with more purpose. “What is this? What are we?”I stand a little, leaning over her, still not fully dressed. “We’re co-workers.”That was the wrong answer. I saw it in her eyes

Chapter 30 Lingering Thoughts

Sienna’s POVI grabbed my bag, my jacket, and my dignity, well what was left of it, and booked it out of the office like the damn building was on fire. My heels echoed through the nearly empty halls, every click a reminder of what I’d just let happen. Again.By the time I made it to the parking garage and slid into my car, my phone buzzed.Alex.Shit.The date. The lovely Alex.I cursed under my breath, resting my head on the steering wheel for a moment. Of course. Because my life wasn’t complicated enough. And Alex? He didn’t deserve half-hearted attention, let alone a Sienna who just spent the last two hours being absolutely demolished by a man who wasn’t her boyfriend.“Get it together,” I muttered to myself and started the car.The drive home was a blur of red lights and regret. My mind kept flashing back to Knox’s voice in my ear, his hands on my skin, the way he said you are mine. And worse? The part of me that wanted it to be true.When I got to the house, I didn’t even breat
