I Stopped Loving Him When He Let Me Bleed Out novel Chapter 481

Sienna scrambled out of the bed, her bare feet hitting the hardwood as she shot Finn a desperate look.

"Stop it! We have a million things to do today, remember?"

"Mhm," he hummed dismissively.

Finn grudgingly pushed himself upright, the heavy duvet pooling around his waist.

Exposing the impossibly sharp, perfectly carved lines of his collarbones.

The heavy slabs of muscle sloping across his shoulders were a brutal, flawless work of art.

Sienna's eyes flared with a traitorous surge of heat.

As Finn climbed out of bed, he deliberately slowed his stride the second he brushed past her.

His dark eyes dragged over her body in a slow, predatory sweep, the raw, carnal hunger already flaring back to life.

Anticipating the ambush, Sienna defensively crossed her arms over her chest, stepping back.

But he was too fast, easily hooking an arm around her waist and hauling her flush against his chest from behind.

He rested his heavy chin on her shoulder, his lips grazing the delicate shell of her ear.

"Once you finish your mission and I survive mine... how about another review session?"

"Are you ever going to let this joke die?" Sienna scoffed, tilting her head away, though she made absolutely zero effort to break his hold.

"Just pretend I'm..." He paused. "Pretend I'm completely pathetic and addicted. Yes or no?"

He dragged out the last few syllables, weaponizing his most shamelessly whiny, persuasive tone.

"Fine, fine," Sienna yielded, utterly incapable of denying him.

Thoroughly satisfied, Finn finally released his iron grip.

After they finished getting ready.

Sienna grabbed her blazer and turned around to find Finn buttoning his shirt, his features having already hardened back into his terrifying, impenetrable corporate mask.

He fastened the buttons from the bottom up, his long fingers freezing at the collar. His eyes were downcast, his razor-sharp profile cast in the harsh morning light, rendering him utterly unrecognizable from the clingy man he had been just minutes ago.

Sienna closed the distance, stepping in to pop his folded collar out, her fingertips grazing the searing heat of his bare skin near his collarbone.

"You head over to Maeve's place first, and I'll meet you there the absolute second I wrap up my meeting, okay?"
