Chapter 1 You Better Not Cry | Skybound Temptations

As the airplane soared through the vast skies, Sienna Byrne found herself seated on the lap of a man named Lucian Strauch.

She lightly nibbled on his sexy Adam's apple.

"Will you satisfy me?" She whispered it seductively into his ear, her breath tickling him.

Lucian held onto her curvy hips with one hand and gently brushed her hair away, revealing her beautiful face. She possessed a beauty so captivating it took his breath away.

His usually cold voice suddenly turned deep and husky as he replied, "How do you want me to satisfy you?"

Sienna had been consumed by desire entirely.

She traced her fingers along his chest, teasingly moving down to his lower abdomen.

With a coy tone and a hint of teasing in her tone, she asked, "Do you need me to teach you?"

"Miss Byrne," Lucian tightly gripped her wrist and pressed down with force. "I hope you won't be begging for mercy later."

Then, he forcefully pushed Sienna onto the bed.

She turned her head slightly.

She glanced out of the first-class cabin window, where she saw the breathtaking view of the vast blue sky and fluffy clouds.

The sound of their bodies colliding inside the room grew louder and more intense.

Sienna felt like she was riding waves in an ocean as she was consumed with a mix of pleasure and pain. "Faster, please..."

Lucian locked eyes with Sienna, and his gaze fixated on the faint blush forming at the corner of her eye. He picked up the pace on purpose and asked with an evil grin, "Does this speed meet your expectations now?"

"No, that's not what I meant," Sienna shook her head and replied.

But before she could finish, Lucian kissed her, their lips melding together in a fiery embrace.

Eventually, their desires simmered down, and Lucian released his hold on her.

Meanwhile, the plane descended and made a smooth landing.

A voice echoed through the speakers, "Dear passengers, we have arrived at Cedarfield City."

Sienna's dress hung loosely around her waist, appearing tattered and disheveled. Her body bore the fiery marks, evidence of his intense desire.

Her ample breasts rose and heaved with ragged breaths.

She exuded a deadly allure.

Lucian met her gaze and whispered, "One more time?"

Sienna snapped back to reality, inhaling deeply.

She quickly adjusted her straps back onto her shoulders and replied with a cold tone, "You can just consider this a random indulgence. No need to make it a big deal."

Lucian's fingers traced the contours of his pricey watch. "Do you think this is all just a game?"

He asked, unsure of where her heart truly stands.

Sienna remained resolute and composed as she replied, "Yeah. It was just a game."

She quickly fixed her hair and adjusted her dress, trying to appear unaffected as if she hadn't been moaning heavily beneath him a moment ago.

"Wait a moment."

Lucian's shirt hung loosely on him. He had a noticeable bite mark on his neck with faint traces of blood lingering.

His expression turned cold. "If you don't want people to see you like this, you better put some clothes on."

Sienna suddenly realized her dress had been completely ruined.

"Thanks."

Sienna hurriedly left the plane, though her steps were shaky.

This was the first time she had ever made love in her life.

To make matters worse, Lucian's rough attack on the bed left her with a lingering ache.

Just as she got off the plane, her colleague Lara Tillman called her, saying, "Sienna, have you gotten off the plane? Why can't we find you?"

Lara's pretentious tone made Sienna feel nauseated, but she replied nonetheless, "I've already gotten off the plane."

"You should really take some rest. You must be exhausted from the project these days!"

Sienna hung up the phone without hesitation.

She gripped her phone so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

She despised Lara with every fiber of her being.

Earlier, while Sienna was asleep, Lara had sneakily spiked her juice with drugs.

She also tried to make Sienna sleep with a creepy old guy in the first-class cabin.

But at that crucial moment, Sienna had managed to escape to Lucian's VIP room.

That's why she had slept with him on the plane just now.

Sienna had made a secret decision that if she was going to have sex with someone, they had better be hot, so she wouldn't settle for less.

The VIP room's spacious bed bore the signs of the sex they had just had, with a fresh bloodstain as evidence.

Lucian furrowed his brow as he examined the crimson mark.

They had just had unparalleled and exquisite sex.

However, she only called it a game.

He thought she was a puzzle.

As the plane touched down, Lucian's friend, Patrick Huber, grabbed his luggage and asked, "Why did you take so long to come down? The plane wasn't even delayed. Everyone's been waiting for you."

Patrick's eyes suddenly fell upon the clear bite marks on Lucian's neck.

"Oh my God, Lucian! Did you have sex on the plane?" Patrick exclaimed.

Lucian replied calmly as if it was not a big deal, "Is that a problem?"

"Damn! Who could make you break the never-sex rule? Besides Bella, I haven't seen any other woman come close to you in all these years."

Lucian's expression turned icy.

Patrick quickly realized he had said something he shouldn't have. Trying to redeem himself, he hurriedly spoke up, "If you're interested in this person, I can find out more about them for you."

Lucian parted his lips slightly, his voice cold as he revealed the name of that captivating woman, "Sienna Byrne."

"Oh, Sienna Byrne? I totally remember her!"

Patrick exclaimed, reminiscing about Sienna's stunning and unapproachable beauty.

He had caught a glimpse of her at a fancy dinner party once, and she had left quite an impression. He described her as a woman with a feline-like grace, both distant and effortlessly elegant.

She was, without a doubt, a top-notch beauty.

"Wow, you lucky devil. She's absolutely gorgeous," Patrick said, sounding impressed before his tone suddenly shifted. "Hold on, isn't she in a serious relationship with Jaydon Casey, the Vice Manager at SynerVox Group? They're actually getting married next month. Lucian, man, what were you thinking?"

Lucian's face instantly turned cold.

He couldn't believe that he had unwittingly gotten involved with a woman who was about to get married.

Patrick patted him on the shoulder, trying to comfort him. "Well, I guess you also have a taste for adventure and excitement! Can't say I blame you."

Meanwhile, back at her home, Sienna took her time to wash every inch of her body, trying to rid herself of any lingering traces.

Little did she know that Lucian, despite his icy demeanor, could be so wild in bed. He kissed her skin until her entire body was covered in love marks.

Lucian was a well-known figure in Cedarfield.

As the CEO of Azure Corporation, he had always been cold and unapproachable, making him the ultimate fantasy for every woman in town.

He always wore a priceless watch, symbolizing his privileged status.

Renowned in the business world for his ruthless tactics, he was a force to be reckoned with.

Sienna had glimpsed Lucian on numerous occasions.

But she only saw him from a distance at lavish dinners where he seemed untouchable, towering over everyone else.

She couldn't believe that this seemingly haughty man had such a wild side.

It was beyond her expectations that she would end up having sex with someone like him.

Sienna reminded herself that she should completely forget about this incident, which should never have happened.

Her phone suddenly rang, interrupting her thoughts. She furrowed her brows and angrily hung up.

However, the phone kept vibrating as if it would never stop.

A soothing male voice found its way to her ears, "Sienna, why didn't you tell me you were coming back today? I would've made time to pick you up from the airport even if I was busy."

Rolling her eyes, Sienna replied coldly, "I don't need my ex-boyfriend to come pick me up."

"Are you still angry about that thing? I've explained a thousand times that it was all a big misunderstanding. Nothing happened between Lara and me. She was just a friend."

Sienna couldn't help but sneer in response. "Oh, really? Do you think I'm a fool, Jaydon? I saw Lara giving you a blowjob with my own eyes that day!"

Lara was, without a doubt, the most disgusting person she had encountered in her whole life.

Back in college, Lara pretended to be Sienna's close friend when, in fact, she was involved with Jaydon.

During her recent business trip, Sienna worked tirelessly for three days to secure an important project with another company. She knew that this achievement could potentially lead to a promotion to department supervisor once she returned.

Sienna never expected Lara to stoop so low as to try to make her sleep with a repulsive old man and tarnish her reputation.

Jaydon was at a loss for words, but he weakly defended himself, insisting, "It was just an optical illusion! Nothing actually happened."

"Enough," Sienna interjected. "We broke up a long time ago. Stop calling me like a creep. You made me sick."

However, he refused to give up and shouted her name desperately. "Sienna! I'll give you the current project and cancel the engagement if you accompany me to my father's birthday party tomorrow."

Sienna understood that profits often take priority over everything.

She paused for a moment to mull it over.

Finally, she gave in, saying, "Okay."

The whole situation was so chaotic and complicated that she didn't even know where to start resolving it.

The constant turmoil had left her mentally and physically drained.

She was just about to turn over and drift off to sleep when her phone screen suddenly lit up.

It was a text from an unknown number.

"Miss Byrne, you left your stockings with me."

Chapter 2 Let Him Hear Us Make Love | Skybound Temptations

Sienna had a feeling of who the text message was from.

But she also knew the danger that came with dealing with Lucian.

So, she decided to ignore it.

The next day at work, Sienna's boss, Alex Miller, handed her a proposal.

"Jaydon asked for me to give this to you. I hope you can keep doing a good job. You're lucky to have such a supportive boyfriend!" Alex said.

Sienna's gaze turned cold as she accepted the proposal.

Everyone in the company saw Jaydon as impressive because he became a vice president just a year and a half after joining the company.

But only she knew the extent of her sacrifices for him.

She used to see Jaydon as her future partner, so she constantly worked for him, including handling orders, negotiating deals, and writing proposals. She even let him take credit for all the final results, which helped him secure his current position.

In return, Jaydon betrayed her by having an affair with one of her friends.

Alex added, "You did an outstanding job on the project during your business trip. If you can do the same with this project, you will be our new manager in two months. I have high expectations for you."

After work, Sienna had to attend Jaydon's father's birthday party.

Jaydon had already bought Sienna her favorite coffee and was waiting for her at the entrance of the company before she got off work. He portrayed himself as a caring and devoted boyfriend, making everyone in the company envious.

Sienna saw right through his fake concern. She knew deep down that he was just a manipulative, cunning person.

"Sienna, it's freezing out here. Come, wear my coat!" Jaydon grandly took off his coat in front of everyone and offered it to her with a gentle smile.

Sienna ignored his gesture and continued walking forward, saying, "Don't forget what you promised me."

Jaydon hurriedly caught up with her, speaking in a hushed voice so they could have a private conversation.

"Sienna, you need to understand that affairs happen all the time in secret. Why are you making such a big deal out of it? You're just as stubborn as you always have been since college. Sometimes, you just have to turn a blind eye and let things slide. After all, with my high position, it's only natural for women to be drawn to me. But I promise you, no matter how many women I'm involved with, you will always be my one and only queen."

She felt even more disgusted with him.

"Why do you still expect me to stick around after everything that's happened? Do you really think of yourself as some kind of king?" Sienna sarcastically retorted.

Jaydon forced a smile on his face despite being angry.

"I let Alex show you the proposal today. It's a killer project. If you do well, you'll be the next supervisor of your department for sure. We could make a great team. And don't forget, my family really likes you. Once we get married and start having kids, we'll be living a picture-perfect life that'll make everyone jealous."

Jaydon said with an air of arrogance. But as he raised his chin, Sienna noticed a huge love mark.

Sienna instantly figured out that Jaydon had been busy getting busy with Lara all night, which explained why he looked so worn out now.

Without hesitation, she threw her coffee cup in the trash.

"Jaydon, sometimes I wonder what makes you so confident," she said coldly.

Jaydon's face contorted with anger.

Later, at the party, Jaydon's father beamed with joy when he saw Sienna, while his mother kept urging them to get married soon.

However, instead of even hinting at breaking it off, Jaydon played the part of a perfect boyfriend as if nothing had ever happened.

Sienna stomped on Jaydon's foot several times under the table, attempting to silence him, but he remained unfazed.

"Yeah, we've got it all planned out. Two kids and everything," he shamelessly declared, smirking with a smug confidence that made Sienna's blood boil.

Unable to keep quiet any longer, Sienna stood up and spoke her mind, "Jaydon and I are never getting married! I found out he was cheating on me with that colleague of his a month ago. We've broken up!"

The room fell into a stunned silence.

Jaydon quickly tried to salvage the situation, shouting, "Sienna, you can't just spread these ridiculous rumors because we had a little fight!"

Sienna reached into her bag and pulled out a stack of printed photos.

Each image revealed Jaydon and Lara embracing and kissing.

"I never intended for everyone to know about this, but I just can't stand you anymore. So, blame yourself for this. You're nothing but a lying cheater, and I will never be with you again!"

With her head held high, Sienna gracefully left the room.

As she heard Jaydon being slapped by his father, she felt a sense of satisfaction.

Even after leaving the house, she could still hear Jaydon's father's angry shouts, "Jaydon, have you lost your mind? Sienna is a treasure. How could you betray her like this?"

Sienna curled her lips into a sarcastic smirk.

Jaydon wasn't always like this.

But it seemed that success had changed him into a completely different stranger.

The Jaydon Sienna knew from their college days was the epitome of kindness and cuteness.

But after they graduated, he couldn't resist the allure of temptation and transformed into just another arrogant man driven by his power.

Sienna made the firm decision to end their relationship because she refused to compromise her principles.

Jaydon burst out of the door and chased after her, saying, "Sienna, wait! Let me explain!"

Sienna couldn't believe he dared to come after her.

She quickly made her way to the underground parking lot.

As the elevator doors opened, she bolted out and nearly collided with a man casually smoking a cigarette.

Lucian leaned against a sleek golden Maybach, his wristwatch glistening, a hint of crimson on his knuckles from his smoke exhale exuding an air of cool indifference. The smoke made his handsome face appear somewhat blurred.

He seemed surprised as soon as he saw her but quickly composed himself.

"Miss Byrne, what a coincidence," he said calmly.

Sienna's heart sank. "Mr. Strauch, what a surprise!"

Jaydon came thundering down the secure fire exit, his voice echoing through the space, "Sienna, I know I messed up. Please don't go, and don't call off our engagement! No matter how many women I've been with, my heart has always belonged to you!"

There was a flicker of darkness in Lucian's eyes. "Your fiancé?" he asked, a hint of surprise tinting his words.

"Not anymore!" When Sienna heard the sound of Jaydon's approaching footsteps, her first instinct was that she wanted nothing to do with this scumbag ever again. She pleaded, "Mr. Strauch, could you do me a favor?"

Lucian, seemingly savoring the spectacle, let out a calm chuckle. "I recall you saying we were just fooling around."

But Jaydon was getting closer, and Sienna had had enough.

She quickly opened the car door, slipped into the passenger seat, and ducked her head as low as possible.

Her actions were as smooth as silk.

Lucian raised an eyebrow as a response.

As Jaydon rushed down, he was just in time to see Lucian casually extinguishing his cigarette and sliding into the car.

Jaydon's heart skipped a beat at the sight of Lucian.

In the cutthroat business world of this city, everyone knew how ruthless Lucian was.

Jaydon quickly said hello to Lucian, then looked around, asking, "Mr. Strauch, did you happen to see a woman around here just now?"

"A woman?"

Lucian nonchalantly glanced inside the car while drawing out his words.

Sienna's breath grew shallow, her heart pounding like a drum.

She couldn't bear the thought of being tangled up with Jaydon any longer.

Instinctively, she grabbed onto Lucian's trouser leg and gave it a gentle tug.

Lucian smiled. "No, I didn't."

"Thanks, Mr. Strauch!" Jaydon immediately spun around and started searching in another direction.

After a moment, Sienna cautiously lifted her head and peered toward the direction Jaydon had disappeared.

"Is he gone?" She asked with anticipation.

"Yeah," Lucian confirmed.

Only then did Sienna fully stand up, taking in a much-needed breath. "That was close."

Lucian, with a hint of amusement in his eyes, observed Sienna's flushed face. "Well, since I helped you out, what do you plan on doing as a thank you?"

Sienna pondered for a moment before suggesting, "How about treating you to dinner?"

"I don't need that," he replied bluntly.

"Alright. Then what do you want?"

She regretted asking the question so quickly as she sensed a hint of intimacy in the car.

Suddenly, the realization struck her that while she had ditched one trouble, she may have landed herself in an even bigger mess.

Lucian leaned in closer to her, his eyes glinting with an undeniable danger. "How about we play that game again?"

Sienna recoiled. "I think we can stop when it crosses a certain line," she replied, trying to regain control of the situation.

Lucian smirked as he snuffed out his cigarette. "Is that so? Then I suppose you won't mind saying goodbye with those stockings of yours."

Sienna swung the car door open and stood her ground. "No, I don't mind. But if you want to keep them as some sort of collector's item, be my guest!"

Just as Sienna was about to step out of the car and put this whole ordeal behind her, she saw Jaydon returning from his fruitless search around the area.

Jaydon's eyes widened as he spotted her. He had completely abandoned his usual gentlemanly demeanor and turned into a brute, "Sienna, get over here! Were you hiding this whole time? Come back with me! I want you to tell my family that all these photos are fake."

Sienna quickly retreated back into the safety of the car.

"Mr. Strauch, please, let's get out of here!"

Jaydon was stunned as soon as he saw Sienna climbing into Lucian's car.

Both anxious and enraged, he exclaimed, "Sienna! Whose car do you think you're getting into? Get out right now!"

Lucian calmly stepped on the accelerator and said, "Buckle up."

Jaydon chased after them desperately. He called Sienna and shouted, "Sienna! When did you get involved with Lucian? Where are you going? Stop!"

"Where are we going?" Lucian asked.

Sienna could barely catch her breath as he drove recklessly.

As she glanced at his icy expression, something within her shifted instantaneously.

"Just take me to Stellar Springs," she replied.

Lucian's grasp tightened on the steering wheel, his watch shaking and sparkling like the cool moonlight in the distance. "Is this your so-called fiancé? It seems your taste in men is rather questionable."

Sienna invited with a smile, "Mr. Strauch, why don't you come up to my place later?"

Lucian's lips curled seductively. "Just for a visit?"

Sienna was left speechless.

In her heart, she mused, even the most attractive man only thought of sex.

After they parked, she hurried to lead Lucian into the elevator. Jaydon was just a step away from catching the elevator, but he could only watch helplessly as Sienna and Lucian embraced intimately.

He was furious, on the verge of madness.

"Your fiancé just saw us," Lucian remarked.

He deliberately said this to make everything seem forbidden and dangerous.

The elevator was crowded, so Lucian pulled Sienna closer by her slender waist and pushed her into a corner. She caught a gentle whiff of his cool, woody fragrance.

His hand slipped under her skirt, beginning to trace light caresses.

Yet, he maintained a calm and dignified exterior.

Sienna's voice trembled as she said, "I already told you he's no longer my fiance!"

Jaydon caught up from a different elevator.

As he stepped out, he happened to witness Sienna and Lucian embracing as they entered her apartment.

Fury coursed through Jaydon, causing him to knock on the door. "Sienna, are you out of your mind? How could you cheat on me like this? Get out here now!"

But Jaydon dared not utter a word against Lucian, no matter how angry he was.

All he could do was mutter his grievances endlessly outside the door.

Meanwhile, inside the apartment, Sienna boldly wrapped her hands around Lucian's neck, a daring invitation in itself.

Lucian gently lifted her chin and whispered, "Should we make him listen to us having sex?"
