Chapter 802
As Daniel mentioned his colleague, Sienna’s mind drifted to his career. Her smile gradually faded, replaced by an inexplicable sense of unease.
The thought of Daniel considering leaving his job to ensure her security and comfort stirred up a wave of sadness within Sienna.
She realized she needed to find the right moment to broach the subject of his possible resignation.
“What’s wrong?” Daniel asked, noticing the shift in Sienna’s mood.
“It’s nothing,” Sienna replied, shaking her head. She forced a smile before changing the subject. “So, what are your plans for later?”
Embracing Sienna, Daniel pulled her close to his chest. “Nothing in particular. I just want to be near you.”
As her curvy and delicate body nestled comfortably against his sturdy torso, her cheeks flushed.
With a touch of nervousness, Sienna playfully quipped, “We can’t spend the whole day like this, just staring into each other’s eyes, can we?”
Daniel’s grin widened. “Well, it’s not entirely off the table.”
Sienna found herself momentarily at a loss for words at his answer.
“Hey, don’t you want to spend time with me?” Daniel interjected, a hint of disappointment in his tone.
“Maybe we should find something to do,” Sienna suggested. “What are you in the mood for?”
“How about watching a movie?”
Daniel tenderly caressed her cheek, his voice filled with affection. “I’m up for anything you want.”
Sienna rose from his embrace, taking his hand in hers. “Let’s go.”
Daniel reached for his phone and offered, “I’ll book the tickets.”
Nonetheless, Sienna yearned for some intimate time with Daniel, away from the bustling crowds. “Let’s pass on the cinema. We can enjoy a movie in the room using the projector.”
Daniel hesitated, his eyes lingering on Sienna. His intense gaze moved from her face to their intertwined fingers. He couldn’t help but notice that she clung to his hand without a hint of reservation.
After a moment’s pause, he suggested, “You know what, maybe it’s better if we go to the cinema. Watching a movie here just isn’t the same.”
“But I really don’t want to go out,” Sienna said, her voice pleading as she gently pulled at Daniel’s hand, trying to coax him off the couch.
Daniel rose with her, feeling his breath grow heavier. He was keenly aware of his body and its desires. Watching a movie in the bedroom was certainly not a good idea.
“It’ll be a more immersive experience in the cinema,” Daniel attempted to persuade Sienna. He knew his resolve wouldn’t last much longer.
However, Sienna remained adamant. Disregarding Daniel’s preference, she led him into the bedroom.
“It’s cozier here at home.”
Daniel could only sigh in resignation.
The curtains were drawn shut in the master bedroom, enveloping the room in darkness.
Knowing Daniel’s penchant for crime-solving, Sienna searched for a gripping thriller on her phone and projected it onto the screen.
The expansive bed was adjusted to a reclined position.
Separated by a three-foot gap, they leaned comfortably against the headboard pillows, quietly engrossed in the movie.
Nonetheless, Daniel’s attention was divided between the film and Sienna.
Just ten minutes in, he couldn’t resist the urge to inch closer to Sienna, his hand naturally finding its place behind her head.
Sienna responded by scooting nearer, melting into his embrace.
Daniel draped his arm around Sienna’s shoulder, drawing her closer, his voice husky as he whispered, “Sisi.”
“Yes?”
“I don’t think watching a movie in bed is a good idea,” Daniel admitted.
Sienna looked up at him, curious. “Why not?”
Daniel’s lips curled into a knowing smile. After a brief pause, he responded, “Because I’m feeling rather sleepy.”
“But this movie is so thrilling. How can you possibly feel tired?” Sienna expressed her surprise.
Daniel’s gaze dropped to Sienna’s clear, captivating eyes, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he nervously swallowed. His mouth felt dry as he continued, “Because I want to sleep with you.”
Sienna’s cheeks flushed crimson in an instant, her heart racing in her chest. Her breath became erratic. She felt overwhelmed and unsure of how to respond.
She lowered her gaze, unable to meet his eyes directly.
As he observed her shy demeanor, Daniel’s desire surged, becoming irresistible. Succumbing to his yearning, he leaned in, claiming Sienna’s lips with his own.
His kiss was passionate, his hand tenderly cradling the back of her head while the other encircled her waist, drawing her closer into the embrace of his strong, commanding physique.
