Love, Lies & Legacy 2- chapter 21

Chapter 21

Sienna woke up the next morning to the sound of raindrops falling on her window. It was dawn and the drizzling rain made the scenery a little somber but how Sienna felt was far from gloomy. She glanced over her shoulder and gazed at the peacefully sleeping Darius. She could not help but smile at the sight of his serene face and his well-defined chest heaved up and down as he breathed in and out.

She loved the bleak weather of that morning. It was chilly and dark but inside she was shining like the morning sun. All Sienna wanted to do was cuddle up beside Darius all morning until the sun finally decide to appear. As she sat there, the duvet covering her from the frosty weather, she had an unexpected flashback.

She remembered the sunny morning a couple of month’s back where she woke up and the person sleeping next to her was Jesse. The distant feeling between her and Jesse started that morning and it was the same morning where she deciphered Darius’s riddle. She wondered if Jesse’s heart was that brutish when she first met him at school. Has he always been cruel? Was his every word a lie the whole time? Sienna hoped that what happened between her and Jesse would never repeat again with Darius. It would be unbearable to face it again.

Suddenly the soft touch of Darius’s hands interrupted her thoughts. She turned to face Darius whose eyes were still closed but his hand was on top of hers, gently caressing it. She took his hand and gave it a soft kiss. With that, Darius slowly opened his eyes to the beautiful smile of Sienna.

“Bonjour cherie,” said Darius in his husky morning voice.

“Good morning to you too,” Sienna replied with a quick kiss on the lips.

“Do you want to go get breakfast?” he asked as he ran his fingers through his tousled wavy hair.

“No not yet. Right now I want to stay in bed with you,” said Sienna as she curled herself beside him. Darius tighten his arms around her and gave a quick glance to the window beside the bed.

“I find it odd that depressing weather enamors you,” said Darius as he turned to face her.

“I wonder what odd things infatuate you?” asked Sienna as her lips curve to one side.

“You already know the answer to that,” he said as he swept her bangs to the side. Sienna knew it was her hair. She sometime wonders what would be Darius’s reaction if she cut her hair.

“Sienna, your seduction game last night was a little out of hand. The temptation act drove me into this uncontrollable effusive state. I suddenly felt a frisson of excitement, love and lust,” said Darius as he sat up.

“I’m sorry,” replied Sienna with an accidental smirk, trying hard to sound as innocent as possible.

“I do not want you to be. It’s just…. If you want something from me, I prefer persuasion than manipulation or in last night’s case, seduction,” he said with a raised eyebrow.

“Can I use seduction during special occasions?” asked Sienna childishly.

“Everything that deceives may be said to enchant,” replied Darius, seeing past the little faux game she was playing.

“Ok, your seduction spell on me is your quotes. Your intelligent words turn me on, Darius. It is so aggravating sometimes,” said Sienna as she laid her head on his shoulder.

“Now you know how I feel,” said Darius as he entwined their fingers together.

“From the first time we met each other until now, our lust for each other has never fade away,” said Sienna with a small smile.

“Of all the worldly passions, lust is the most intense. All other worldly passions seem to follow in its train,” said Darius, as he looked straight into her eyes. The lust and anger erupted inside Sienna and she instantly grabbed the nearest pillow and hit Darius in the torso.

“Darius! Stop it!” she said as she burst into giggles. Darius seized her wrist, a smile on his beautiful face and brought her into an ardent kiss.

“Thank you for the dress, thank you for the diamonds, thank you for a wonderful night, thank…” before Sienna could finish her thank you speech; Darius settled his hungry lips on hers. They kissed with urgency as their craving lips moved in harmony. Darius tightened his grip around her waist as Sienna brought him closer with the arms around his shoulders.

“Thank you for that very fulfilling kiss,” said Sienna with a smile. 

“You are welcome, my amanta,” he replied lovingly. Darius then took of his blazer and took a seat on Sienna’s bed.

“Are you sure you’re all right after what happened at the party?” asked Sienna with worry. After his abduction, Sienna secretly worries about his well being. The beating he took from Martin was horrible and she wants to make sure that he is truly all right.

“I am fine. It was not a serious fall. I have experience worst pain before,” said Darius with confidence.

“Really? Like what?” asked Sienna as she crossed her arms.

“I fell down the stairs when I was 8 and broke my arm. I tore a ligament when I was playing football with Alex when I was 12. It was painful when I lost Natalya and when I almost lost you,” he said as he shifted his gaze to the night sky.

“That was in the past, Darius. I am here now and you don’t have to worry,” she said with a kiss on the back of his hand. She then made her way to the bathroom to take off her make-up and change into her night wear.

Standing in front of the vanity wearing silk boy shorts underneath her semi-nebulous night gown, Sienna brushed the facial cotton across her ivory skin to take off the minimal make-up she put on earlier. Darius then walked in and stood behind her as he eyed her reflection on the mirror.

         “May I?” he asked as he placed his hands around her neck. Sienna gave him a soft nod and watched the infatuation in Darius’s eyes. With one hand on Sienna’s neck, Darius took one pin out of Sienna’s up-do. He placed the pin on the palm of Sienna’s hand and continued with the next. He held on the mass of hair as he took out 2 more pins.

         Slowly he let go of the hair and watched as the luscious brown hair cascaded down Sienna’s back. A grin flitted across Sienna’s face as she observed the excitement in Darius. He looked like a little boy playing with his favorite train set.

         Darius then brought the wavy hair to one side of her shoulder and placed his chin on the other. He gazed at Sienna’s grey eyes with love through the reflection.

         “Do you want me to go so you can have your beauty sleep?” asked Darius as he played with her fingers. A disbelieving look took over Sienna’s face when she heard that question.

         “No, you are not going anywhere,” said Sienna as she turned to face him.

         “But I do not want to disrespect your mother and…” before he could finish his sentence, Sienna planted a soft kiss on his lips.

         “Darius, you are my boyfriend. My mother would understand if you slept over for one night,” said Sienna as she placed her arms around his neck.

         “But she has no knowledge of me being here right now and what if…,” again he was interrupted by a kiss.

         “Then you leave tomorrow before she wakes up if you’re so uptight. Besides Darius, I sleep over your house all the time,” said Sienna she led Darius out of the bathroom, showering him with more kisses.

         “That is with my mother’s knowledge and your mother is trying to adjust to the fact that you are growing up and your relationship with me is more severe than she could ever imagine,” said Darius in between kisses.

         “Well she needs to be open-minded like your mother and accept the fact that sometimes I want to sleep with my boyfriend. If she let me stay over your house then she should let you stay at my house,” she said quickly and gave Darius another kiss. For some reason, Darius did not object to that and did not reply the heated argument they were having. Instead he just enjoyed Sienna’s kisses.

         For once, Darius did not fight the vulnerability in him. That always happens when he is with Sienna. She somehow cast a seductive spell on him and he turns into this very powerless person and gives in to whatever she wants. Darius was always in control of everything around him but ever since he met Sienna, he is willing to give in to her. He has never been weak or defenseless around girls but Sienna had the ability to do that to him.

         Sienna was Darius’s Achilles’ heel and was something he had learned to accept. So there he was, under her spell and there was nothing he could do. There was not anything he wanted to do. All Darius wanted was her love which he already had but could not rap his mind around it yet. Sienna’s love was unconditional and that is something Darius thought never existed.

         Darius kissed her neck as she unbuttoned his shirt. He gently caressed his hands around her shoulder, down her back and underneath her night gown. Sienna traced Darius’s abs upwards, enjoying Darius’s heavenly sculptured upper body as she gave him another ravenous kiss.

         “Lust’s passion will be served, it demands, it militates and it tyrannizes,” whispered Darius as their foreheads touched and they were drowning in each other’s eyes. Sienna bit her lower lip and smiled at him salaciously.

“Seduction and lust are a woman’s key to a man’s weakness,” she whispered saucily back to him. She then tilted her head to one side and gave him another greedy kiss as Darius’s fingers got lost in her hair.
