All Chapters of The Billionaire's Irresistible Touch: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

SIENNA’S POVHe stood there for a moment, just letting the water drench him. The expensive fabric of his suit was ruined, sticking to his broad shoulders, but he didn't seem to care anymore. He looked at me looking young, free, and and incredibly handsome with his wet hair messed up and plastered to his forehead.​"You're crazy, you know that?" he said, raised his voice to be heard over the splashing rain.​"Maybe!" I laughed, wiping water from my eyes so I could see him. "But at least I'm not standing under a roof waiting for life to pass me by!"​He let out a real, loud laugh then—not the polite one he used at parties, but a deep sound that came from his chest. Before I could say anything else, he stepped closer, closing the distance between us in the middle of the downpour.​He didn't hesitate. He reached out and grabbed my waist, pulling me flush against his soaked chest. I gasped, my hands flying up to rest on his wet shoulders. The rain was freezing, but where our bodies touche

​SIENNA’S POV​"An act, my foot," I whispered to the closed door, the goofy grin still plastered on my face.​I leaned my back against the wood, clutching the dish towel to my chest. My heart was thumping a rhythmic Kieran-Kieran-Kieran. I knew he was lying. I had felt the way his heart hammered against mine during that hug. I had seen the way that single tear had escaped. No one is that good of an actor.​I let out a long, shaky breath and looked around the empty foyer. ​I wandered back into the kitchen to finish cleaning up. As I scrubbed the pans, I couldn't stop thinking about what he said. He had learned to cook just to find that one specific taste of his mother's. And I had given it to him by accident.​My phone buzzed on the counter, bringing me out of my thoughts. I wiped my hands on my apron and picked it up.​It was Liz.​"Hey, girl!" I answered, trying to keep my voice steady, but the smile was already creeping back onto my face.​"Sienna! Finally!" Liz’s voice was practi

KIERAN’S POV ​I was still reeling from the name James had just dropped. Vanessa Hayes. The daughter of the CBO. The girl from the house next door who had watched my life fall apart through a window. Since then, I had kept her at a distance, pushing her away until she finally left the country. My mind was spinning with why she was back now, but the office door swung open before I could find an answer.The door didn't just open; it was an entrance.​I expected to see Vanessa. I expected her to walk in with that annoying, knowing look she always had. But the woman standing there was someone I barely recognized, yet couldn't take my eyes off of.​Sienna stood in the frame, her ivory suit glowing against the dark wood of my office and I couldn't take my eyes off her. She looked impossibly beautiful. ​​She looked powerful. She looked rich. The way her cashmere coat draped over her shoulders made her look like she owned the entire skyline behind my desk.​"Sienna?" I stood up so fast my c

SIENNA’S POV Kieran was staring into space, like he was reliving something from a long time ago. The office was quiet, but his energy was heavy.​Could he be remembering something about Vanessa? Who is she to him? “After years of waiting,” she had said. As much as I wanted to confront him, I couldn't. It’s a contract, after all—even if it’s felt incredibly real lately. What if he changes back to his cold self? I didn't even want to imagine the "what if."​"You look lost in thought," I said, moving my thumb slowly over his knuckles.​He snapped out of it, giving me a look that was actually... soft? "There’s this place I’ve always wanted to be. But for some reason, I haven't been able to go."​I tilted my head. "What’s the hold-up? You have all the money and resources you need, Kieran."​"I want to go with you," he said.​I felt my brain short-circuit for a second. The more I hang out with this man, the more I lose my cool. Those eyes of his are a whole trap. One look and my head goe

SIENNA’S POV ​"You need them because I said so," Kieran said, his tone leaving no room for argument. He looked away for a split second, almost like he was hiding something. "Consider it a late... or early... bonus for being a good partner."​I looked at him suspiciously. A bonus? He was probably just being his usual, over-the-top billionaire self. I still didn't get why I needed these designer dresses for one "impromptu meeting," but I wasn't going to fight him on it.​"It’s my money, Sienna. Don't worry about it," he said, cutting off my thoughts. He kept his hand on my back as he led me toward the door.​​We stepped outside into the cool evening air, and just as we reached the car, his phone began to ring. He pulled it out and looked at the screen.​"It’s Rebecca," he muttered. I knew Rebecca was his grandmother’s assistant. Why is she calling? I wondered.​He answered the phone, and I watched his face change. His eyes narrowed, and he turned pale. He didn't say much, just a few sh
