Chapter 51 Breaking Point

• Sienna lay in bed, her eyes wide open in the darkness, her body restless against the sheets. Sleep would not come. Her mind was a storm of thoughts, tangled and relentless. She had never felt emotions as strong as the ones Adrian stirred inside her. No one else had ever shaken her the way he did. Yes, he had tied her to the bedposts, claimed her across her tiny kitchen table, and taken her in ways that left her breathless.
• But it was not only the heat of his touch that haunted her. There was something else beneath it all, something deeper, something frighteningly real. She did not know if it was love or just the intensity of their passion, but the pull was undeniable.
• And yet, fear gnawed at her. She did not want to walk into another heartbreak, not after Ryan, not after all she had endured before. Her chest tightened at the thought of repeating old wounds. She had accused Adrian of cheating with Vanessa. That one accusation, thrown in the heat of pain, now echoed in her mind with crushing regret.
