After that bombshell of an order, Sienna returned to her room and was about to close the connecting door between them, when Lucas stopped her.
“Leave that open, Sienna,” he ordered, his eyes gazing into hers, daring her to protest.
“You can just buzz me on my mobile phone tonight whenever you need me, Lucas. Tomorrow I’ll arrange for a buzzer but I can’t sleep with the door open,” she told him. Lucas glared at her. How dare she disobey his orders?
“I’m the patient here and you’re here to take care of me. I want that damn door left open. No more arguments,” he gritted out, his eyes blazing with the fire that he felt within him. He was too frustrated that she was leaving his side. If he would have been better, he would have pinned her under him an
Lucas stared at the figure-hugging jeans that clung to her shapely b*tt like a second skin. The soft minty green top clung to her shapely breasts, the neckline exposing the creamy skin around her throat and neck. The uniform didn’t reveal much so now that he got the opportunity to see her in broad daylight, his eyes drank her in, stripping her bare in his mind. Sienna blushed at the way he stared at her. Should she hide under that uniform? She walked to his bedside and stood consciously waiting for his orders.Lucas closed his eyes to regain his composure. “I need a shower,” he said. Sienna’s cheeks colored as sinful thoughts crept into her mind. She remembered the training that the Occupational Therapy(OT) staff had given her two days prior to Lucas’s discharge.“Did the doctor give his permission?” she ask
Lucas ate the latkes and the deviled eggs before he even tried the chops which were supposedly his favorite. He even tried the coleslaw and took a second helping of the dishes. It made Sienna smile and start eating as well. He didn’t praise the food at all but his eyes twinkled with happiness at the thought that someone had taken so much pain to cook a meal for him. Sienna watched him minutely and noted the way he relished the food that she had made. Her eyes connected with Maria’s in the laundry room and she gave Sienna a ‘told you so’ look.The doorbell rang and Maria went to open the door. Lucas’s eyes shot up with shock seeing Marcus stride in straight towards the dining room.“Are you gonna eat all that food alone, bro?” eyed Marcus, plopping into the chair next to Sienna. Lucas gritted his teeth angrily.&nbs
Sienna was stunned by his admission. It was the first time that he had mentioned the kiss ever since they met. After witnessing that woman, Gina’s behavior with Lucas, it was obvious that this was quite normal for him. It made Sienna angry that he had thought her to be of the same category as Gina was. Maybe he went about kissing other women without feeling anything for them or giving them a second look. But she wasn’t of that type.“You shouldn’t even be thinking about it, Lucas. That kiss was an accident since we both were drunk. I’m sorry that it ever happened. It’s best that we both forget it. I’m your nurse and you’re my patient. That is all there is to it,” said Sienna, with a professional look on her face. Lucas tightened his hold on her wrist and yanked her closer to him, his eyes looked into hers with something akin to hurt.
“I do not. Stop saying these things. They won’t happen, ever,” Sienna blushed crimson and covering her ears, she ran out of his room leaving him smiling after her. This time, she closed the door leaving only a little gap in case he needed her. Lucas smiled more seeing how worked up she was at his words. Teasing her has become his most favorite pastime now! “Oh, Sienna! I think I’m in love!” He whispered, clutching at his heart. A euphoric smile spread across his lips and he couldn’t stop his rapidly beating heart. He felt like a young boy again! For the first time, his heart had responded to someone and he just couldn’t keep it within himself any longer. He wanted to climb to the top of the tallest mountains and shout out her name. He wanted to kiss her till she too felt the same for him. It was almost an impossible feat. The impossible Lucas Donnelly was in love, that too for a woman
“We shouldn’t be doing this, Lucas,” said Sienna, making Lucas frown at her.“Why not? We aren’t doing anything wrong,” he said, placing a forkful of heart-shaped pancake into his mouth. This was what was missing from his life! A romantic breakfast with the one he loved. He wanted her to feel his love for her before he could admit to her his real feelings.“This is wrong, Lucas. I’m going to be engaged soon,” said Sienna.“You’re still considering that man? I don’t believe this,” said an upset Lucas.“I don’t have a choice. He has my dad’s dream in his control,” said Sienna.“Why don’t you
“You aren’t holding my hand, Sienna,” complained Lucas as he stopped in his tracks, holding onto the crutch angrily. He had been able to walk without her help yet he behaved like an impossible child when Sienna left him alone. It was as if he didn’t want her to leave his side. He knew that the moment he could do everything independently, she would leave him and go back to her hospital.“You have to walk on your own now, Lucas. I’m right here if you need me but I won’t hold your hand now. Try to walk ten steps,” she coaxed. Lucas grumbled and swore in his mind that the day he could walk normally without support, he would make her his forever. He gritted his teeth and took the ten steps slowly, bearing the pain. Afterward, he collapsed onto the wheelchair, exhausted.“Very good. We’ll increas
Lucas was improving well and Sienna dreaded the day Roman would come over to fetch her. She needed to be stronger and face him without fear. Lucas’s words rang in her head. He had offered legal help to extract her dad’s shares in the business. He had also offered to help her with the business. Should she take it up?The whole week she was busy and didn’t get much time to prepare herself mentally for a battle with Roman. Dr. Dresden had visited them to check up on Lucas and he was quite satisfied with the way Lucas’s injuries were healing. He applauded Sienna many times for her efforts. Lucas was walking with the aid of a walking stick, slowly and without Sienna’s help. The past week, Sienna saw a huge change in his attitude. He was fiercely independent and hardly took help from her. It was a stark contrast to the Lucas she had gotten used to in the last few weeks. She ha
Lucas felt guilty for yelling at her but he didn’t budge from his seat. She was the one who had threatened him to leave. He had every right to be upset. However, his mind was restless and he was unable to concentrate much upon his work. Sienna’s hurt expression kept on flitting across his head and he just couldn’t continue any longer. Getting up, he limped across to her door and pushed it open. It was dark inside, it seemed that she had switched off the light to sleep. Was she asleep already without having her dinner? He felt more guilty for yelling at her. It was very strange since he had always yelled at Kim and hardly felt guilty ever. It was always she who apologized and never the other way around. Sorry wasn’t a word present in his dictionary, well, maybe until now. He walked further into her room. It was the first time he had set foot inside ever since she had moved in. He had always been content to watch her from his roo
