All Chapters of I Can’t Love You In The Dark: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Daniel’s POV Not wasting any time, we were at the door of my mansion, and flew caution to the wind. Her lips crashed into mine like someone being starved for days, and finally got food to eat. This wasn’t the first time I had made out with Sienna but this felt different and better. Maybe it was because of the label, I just couldn’t tell.I raised her up, she was light weight so it was very easy to have risen up. I broke the kiss to get a glimpse of her, to admire the woman I had in my arms right now.“You do know you’re worth it, right?” I assured her.She acted shy, and covered her face with her hair which made me laugh because I felt it was cute and I got to see this side of her.“Are you going to keep admiring or continue our hot make out session,” she asked.I wasn’t going to stop, definitely I would be stupid to. I dove back in her mouth. Our tongues lapped on each other as the kisses got deeper and desperate. I dropped her on the couch as she let out a scream—not a hurtful on

Sienna’s POVI sat in Lila’s office, lost in thought as it had been days since I last heard or saw Daniel after he abruptly left me in his house to go God knew where. I had tried texting and calling but it felt like he fell off the surface of the earth.He was the one reassuring me that he wasn’t going to treat me like Evan did, he made it seem as if he cared about me but ignored me proving his words were all lies and he was a liar?His face that night said something else like he was scared or angry, I just couldn’t tell what it was but I felt betrayed for his neglect. He pushed for this and now he fell back? Did I over share? Did I make myself too vulnerable? I shouldn’t have given in to my lust and emotions, he saw way too much and that scared him away. Fuck, how do I rectify this?“Sorry, the meeting took forever,” Lila walked in apologizing. She was dressed in her usual floral patterned dress with the colored shoe to follow, with her hair tied in a low-back ponytail and her scent

Sienna's POVMy phone’s non-stop ringtone woke me up, and my head hurt badly. Sunlight was shining through the curtains, bothering my eyes. I tried to stand up, but my legs were wobbly because of the fun night I had with Lila. We had gone to a Madonna concert, drinking and dancing like we were young again. The ringing stopped before I could answer— it was from Leo. I wasn't clear-headed enough to talk to him. If it was important, he'd call again. But for now, I was too tired so I'd deal with it later.It had been a month since I broke up with Daniel— I had caught him cheating with another girl at his house. I decided to focus on my art to show him and Evan that I was strong and wouldn't be treated badly anymore. The "new" Sienna was strong and in charge, and no man would hurt me twice.I poked Lila, who was sleeping on my couch. "Get up!"She groaned and rolled over. "It's the weekend, Si. Can I please just sleep?" she whined playfully."No way." I pulled her arm, getting her onto

Daniel's POVLila's footsteps faded, and the door softly closed, leaving me and Sienna in her living room. The air felt heavy, like a fight was about to happen. Her apartment smelled like paint and coffee, and a half-finished painting in the corner seemed to show how much she hurt. She stood by the couch, arms crossed, her dark eyes fixed on me. They looked sharp with anger but also soft with pain. My chest felt heavy, filled with guilt for hiding Maya's problems and for letting the news tear Sienna apart. I wanted to hold her, feel her close, and hear her voice be gentle again, but the memory of her slamming the door in my face was still fresh. Could I make her trust me again, or was this my last chance?She broke the silence, her voice sharp. "What do you want, Daniel?" She leaned against the couch, her sweater loose but clinging to her. Her lips were tight, like she was holding back a scream.I stepped closer, holding my hands out. "I'm sorry, Sienna. I messed up badly. I didn't m

Daniel's povMy office was quiet, the Miami city lights shining outside, but my mind was a total mess. I sat at my desk, staring at the scary photo Sienna found under her door. It was a blurry newspaper picture of us kissing, with "Leave him" written on it in red. My stomach twisted. I felt angry and guilty for dragging her into this mess. I wanted to be the guy who kept her safe, who made her feel secure, but someone was trying to scare her, and I had no idea who. My heart ached for her. I still remembered how warm she felt last night; her soft sounds, her body shaking—but her fear was stronger, and it was tearing me apart. Could I protect her, or was I the one putting her in danger?Jake leaned against my desk, wearing a loose hoodie. His laptop was open, and his fingers moved quickly. "The phone that sent the photo is a burner phone," he said, his voice sharp and business-like. "No name, no way to track it, just a signal near downtown." His eyes looked at me, like he knew I was ba
