Sienna’s POV The second we stepped into Smoque BBQ, a wave of smoky, savory heaven slapped us right in the face. Tiffany let out a low whistle, Trevor immediately pulled out his phone to start recording, and Susan just stood there blinking like she’d just seen God.The walls were rustic and dark, lined with framed photos and awards. The air was thick with the smell of meat, real meat, slow cooked, fall off the bone, can’t get this at a chain restaurant kind of meat.“Okay, Knox,” Tiffany said, reading the giant chalkboard menu above the counter. “You weren’t playin’.”“Nope,” he said, smooth as always. “Everybody go ahead, place your order. I got it.”The guy behind the counter raised an eyebrow at Knox, recognizing him instantly. “All of this on you?”Knox just nodded. “Yeah. Run it all under me.”The guy shook his head with a smirk. “A’ight, boss.”It was a little after 3 p.m., that golden hour between lunch madness and dinner rush, so the place was practically empty except for us

Knox’s POV continued “It’s almost ten,” Sienna said, her voice teasing as she tilted her head and looked at me. “So, buddy... are you spending the night or going home?”I smirked, rubbing the back of my neck. “I mean... it is Wednesday. We both have work tomorrow.”She leaned in, that smile of hers working overtime, her scent drifting over to me like warm honey and sin. “We’re adults,” she said, sitting close enough that her thigh was brushing mine. “So what do you wanna watch? Maybe you head out by midnight.”I licked my lips, watching the way she sipped her wine. “So... if I said I wanted to watch Aliens, would you be upset?”She raised an eyebrow. “No, I got something better for you, Aliens: The Director’s Cut.”I blinked. “Never seen that.”She looked at me like I’d just admitted I never had pizza. “It’s way better. Has a bunch of scenes, the original cut left out and adds so much to Newt’s backstory. Let me put it on.”She hopped up, turned off the lights, refilled our glasses i

Sienna’s POVAs I leave Knox’s office, I head straight to Kole’s. He’s already standing behind his desk when I walk in. “Have a seat,” he says with a calm but curious tone.I sit, crossing my legs as he leans forward slightly. “So... how do you feel about Trevor?”I raise an eyebrow. “Well, I saw you dropping hints with Knox earlier, so I’m guessing you want him to stay on at the firm?”Kole nods. “Yeah, I do. He’s a good, hard worker, and I just wanted to hear your thoughts before we made it official. Knox is offering him a permanent spot, as your assistant. Are you good with that?”“Of course, I’m good with that. I’m amazed, honestly.” I smile. “Trevor’s awesome. He’s been showing up even more focused lately. He met someone online, and he’s got a new situationship, and it’s really bringing out his best. I actually like the idea of him working with me, not for me.”Kole gives me an approving look. “Glad you approve. And, by the way, congratulations. You’ve been killing it lately, yo

Sienna’s POVAs I drive home from The Cheesecake Factory, the hum of the road blends with my thoughts. I made the right decision. Alex was a good guy, but not my guy. I wasn’t in it like I should’ve been. Leading him on would’ve been cruel. Now, here I am, unsure of my next move.Pulling into my driveway, I spot that all too familiar black Tahoe parked out front. I cut the engine and sit in silence for a moment, gripping the steering wheel.“Okay,” I whisper to myself, “Here goes nothing.”I get out, walk up to my townhouse, and notice the Tahoe is off. Which means, he’s already inside. The sound of a video game greets me as I open the door. I exhale, slip off my shoes, and hang up my lightweight jacket.“Hey,” I say, walking upstairs and into the living room.Stephen barely turns, his eyes still locked on the screen. “What’s up, Cece? You eat already? I got pizza.”“Yeah, I ate. Brought you some cheesecake, though.”He perks up. “Okay, that's my girl! Knox out here gettin' whooped, s

Third Person POV As the meeting wrapped up, Sienna walked briskly to her office, iPad in hand, notes neatly compiled. Kole kept pace beside her."So… that cop guy, your boyfriend?" he asked casually. Even though they are broken up, Sienna had not let it be known to Kole.Sienna let out a small chuckle. "Yeah, that was him."Kole nodded. "You two seem pretty great together.""Well… we're okay," she replied, glancing at him with a light smile."I was just checking," he added, half grinning.Sienna stopped walking and turned to face him. "Kole, let me just make this clear. You're a really handsome man, and when I say handsome, I mean gorgeous. You’re a catch. You’re a lawyer, you’ve got a whole firm backing you, you’ve got money… but I’m just not interested."Kole clutched his chest in mock agony. "Oof. Dagger to the heart."He chuckled, then asked, “Well… in the future, do you think there’s any chance you might be interested?”Sienna smiled. "I don't know, Kole. I'm not a fortune tell
