Me: How is your day going, baby?
I wasn’t sure if she was in class and unable to answer, but the text bubble popped up less than a minute later.
Sienna: It’s all academic.
I chuckled as I typed a response. Before I could finish, another text appeared.
Sienna: My name is Sienna, not “baby,” Owen.
This time I laughed out loud. She was fucking adorable.
Me: When are you done today, baby?
I could practically feel her sigh in irritation, making my smilewide.
Sienna: Actually, my last class of the day was cancelled, so I can come in to the restaurant early.
I spotted a couple of black SUV’s pulling up to the house and shot off a lasttext.
Me: That’s great, baby. I’ll meet you and we’ll have a late lunch.
As an afterthought, I added,
Me: Go straight there.
I didn’t wait for a response before shoving my phone in my pocket, pulling the car forward and climbing out of my deep blue Jaguar. Xander lifted his chin in greeting, and I responded inkind.
An hour later, we’d collected all of Sienna’s possessions, paid the rest of her lease in full, and put the fear of God into the pathetic, sniveling weasel whose eyes filled with lust at the mere mention of my woman. He only escaped with his face intact because Xander had stepped in before I snapped.

“Seriously, Owen?”Sienna sighed and shook her head as she stood in the doorway of my office. “I was gone what”—she checked the slim black watch on her delicate wrist—“six hours and you’ve already moved me in? You think you could give me a minute to adjust to things before steamrollingme?”
I shrugged and stood, walking over to her and tugging her up against me. “Hi, baby,” I murmured before pressing my lips to hers. “How was your day? I missedyou.”
She huffed even as she melted into me. “I don’t know what you’ve done to me, Owen. But, I missed youtoo.”
I grinned and kissed her once again, this time using my thumb to nudge her jaw down and sweeping my tongue inside to taste her. Her hands gripped my biceps tightly, and she moaned. My cock had been well aware that she was near, but he began to strain towards her, swelling to painful proportions.
After thoroughly ravishing her mouth, I pulled back and admired her glazed eyes, swollen lips, and pink cheeks. I nearly gave in to my urge to slam the door shut and take her up against it, but managed to check the impulse. I definitely filed it away on my growing list of ways I wanted to fuckher.
With a reluctant grunt, I put one hand on her belly and gently pushed her back into the hall. “Hungry?” I asked.
She nodded silently, still seeming dazed, which made me grin and wink at her. With a hand at her back, just above the curve of her round ass, I guided her out to the diningroom.
When I hired Sienna, I’d embellished her duties a little but the truth was, I did need an assistant. Over our meal, we talked a little about the projects I wanted her help with. I was pleasantly surprised at her enthusiasm, and it stirred warm feelings in my chest. My belief that she was the one, that she was made for me, kept growing as I got to knowher.
With full bellies, we returned to my office and got lost in work for a few hours. She was incredibly intelligent, and after the short time we’d been working, she’d already made some helpful suggestions for our marketingplan.
Eventually, James stuck his head in, startling me. I glanced at the clock and was shocked to see that it was after seven.
“You guys want some dinner?” he asked.
I shook my head then stood and stretched. “We’re heading out. I’ll make Sienna dinner at my place. Call me if you need anything”—I gave him a meaningful stare—“but the restaurant better be on fire if you’re going to disturbus.”
Sienna ducked her head, but not before I spied a dusting of pink on her cheeks.
James’ eyes were also on her and he stifled a laugh, clearing his throat to cover it. “Okay, I’ll see you both tomorrow. Enjoy your night.”
