The invitation was enough for Lucas to lose the last thread of control that was keeping him intact till now. His arms snaked around her and he pulled her closer, his mouth inches away from hers. “What are you offering me?” He whispered.
“My soul, my heart, my love,” she answered, making his eyes glitter devilishly.
“Tell me more,” he prompted her, his hot breath fanning her face.
“I love you, Lucas,” she whispered, closing her eyes and waiting for him to claim her completely. Lucas closed the rest of the space between them and claimed her lips in a hungry and intense kiss. Sienna tightened her hold around his shoulders, her fingers caressing the soft hair at the nape of his neck. Lucas’s hand tangled into her hair, steadying her head to dominate the k
The next whole week was very hectic for Sienna as she toiled hard at the office, coping with new situations, new problems, trying to follow the plans that have been chalked out, meeting, and discussing the course of action with the old department heads under whom the company flourished. It was a lot of hard work. Lucas came in briefly during the day, whenever he could take time off from his busy schedule. He traveled to Singapore on a short trip and Sienna missed him immensely the next weekend. The whole week she had tried her best to immerse herself in work but the nights seemed to eat her up. She just couldn’t sleep! Saturday too she had a meeting with James Price but after a whole day’s work when she returned home, she felt like bursting into tears. The walls felt like they were converging upon her and she felt lonely and depressed.After dinner, Sienna just prepared to go to bed with a heav
It was the laziest Sunday of all and Lucas seemed to be happy just lying in bed, trapping her with his body. After the hottest lovemaking session ever, Sienna lay against his chest to gain the energy to go to the kitchen and prepare breakfast. “Let’s go to granny’s house today. I want you to meet Alexia,” said Lucas.“Sounds great! I’ll quickly make some breakfast,” she said, getting up.“We can have all our meals there. You don’t need to cook. Maria will take care of everything. Just pack your essentials for the day and let’s go,” said Lucas. Sienna grinned, loving the plan.“I’ll take a shower first,” she told him. Lucas wore a pair of sweatpants and went to make coffee. Although he was fit, he still used that same old
It was decided that they would all go to Nicholas's friend’s beach front villa on Long Island. Lucas and Sienna would join them later after taking Alexia to visit the Central Park Zoo. Since granny and Lucas’s mom were unable to walk so much, they opted out of the Central Park trip. Although wheelchairs were available, they preferred to relax on the beach instead. So, Marcus drove his mom, granny, and Maria to the beach house while the rest of them went to the zoo. Alexia had the time of her life watching and feeding the animals. She pulled Nicholas along to see the various exhibits like the Snow Leopard Area, the Central Garden and the Sea Lion Pool, the Polar Circle, the Temperate Territory, the Tropic Zone, or the Rainforest. They went to the Tisch Children Zoo as well just in time for the animal feeding.Lucas and Sienna followed them lazily, hand in hand, having all the time in the w
Sienna fell asleep on the way back. No one disturbed her. Alexia got down reluctantly at her granny and great granny’s house although she wanted to stay with Lucas and Sienna.“Let me get your room ready, Alex. Then I’ll take you home with me,” promised Lucas, kissing the top of her head tenderly.“Yeah, I get it. Bye, dad,” said Alexia. Lucas drove home looking a little worried about Sienna. Despite their chatting, she hadn’t woken up even once. He parked the car and picked her up in his arms and carried her to the elevator. Sienna opened her eyes and looked at him with embarrassment.“Lucas, what are you doing? I can walk,” she said, looking around to see the guards staring at them.“I
It was the last proper meal Sienna could have before dozing off to sleep. Lucas was quite concerned about her and decided to take her to the doctor the next day. He lay down beside her and tucked in the stray curl that fell over her face. He knew that she might have gone through a lot in his absence. Maybe all that stress had taken a toll on her health. It was just ten o’clock and Lucas just lay down staring at a sleeping Sienna. He would have to take matters in own hands and solve all her problems as soon as possible. Her stubbornness was making her fall sick.His phone suddenly vibrated with an incoming call from James Price. Lucas frowned with concern and got up from the bed. Striding out of the room not wanting to disturb Sienna, he took the call at last.“Yes, Mr. Price, tell me,” he asked at last.
“Yes, ma’am. The Account Books from the last fiscal year points to that. We need to have an internal audit soon,” said Mr. Brown. “The auditors would need the partnership deed that was signed by your fathers, Ms. Hensley,” he informed Sienna.“I’ll look for it, Mr. Brown. Start the audit as soon as possible,” she said.“Yes ma’am. I’ll start it right away,” said Mr. Brown. After he left Sienna was in deep thought. She had no idea where her dad might have placed the partnership deed that he had signed with uncle Andrew when they formed the company. She summoned Mary Jane Davis if she had any idea.“Last when I was here, Mr. Hensley always kept his important documents in his safe. It’s in that cabinet?” said Mary Jane Davis
Sienna panicked as the car picked up more speed. She looked at the sinister-looking man sitting beside her, watching her with cold eyes. “I think there’s some mistake here. Please stop the car,” said Sienna, trying to open the door in a panic.“Carl, silence her,” instructed the driver. Sienna struggled more with the door.“No, please. I haven’t done anything to you. Please let me go,” she protested, trying to reach her mobile to call Lucas. The man grabbed both her hands with one of his and pulled out a huge handkerchief from his pockets.“No, let me go,” said Sienna, thrashing against his hold.“Sorry, beautiful one! Boss’s orders,” said the man, placing the huge white
Lucas’s silver Bentley car had a flat tyre due to which Ben couldn’t immediately bring the car to pick up Sienna when she summoned him. However, after changing the tyre when he reached the main entrance to pick her up, the security guard was stunned to see him.“Why are you here again? Ten minutes back, didn't you pick up ma’am already?” Scolded the security guard. Ben gaped at him with disbelief.“No, I didn’t. I had a flat tyre so I was changing it. Who picked up ma’am?” Asked an astounded Ben. The security guard looked at him with horror.“A similar-looking silver Bentley picked her up and sped off. I didn’t even note the number down since I thought it was you,” said the guard.&
