"My name is Rachel," the first one turned to Sienna, then gestured to her friends, "These are Monica and Claudia."

"Nice to meet you, ladies. I'm Sienna."

"We know all about you," Rachel said eagerly, then leaned forward. "Don't tell that to our husbands, but we need a strong female leader around here. We're rooting for you."

Sienna chuckled. "I appreciate that, but I'm afraid I might need more than that to get to that position."

"We've been around a lot and know a secret or two that could help you," Monica whispered.

"Just be careful not to expose us. Our husbands aren't the gentlest kind," Rachel admitted with pleading eyes.

"You have nothing to worry about," Sienna assured them, then added, "Us women need to stick together so if there's anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask and I'll try my best."

"I wouldn't mind seeing the Carrington heir without his clothes on," Monica said with a spark of desire in her eyes.

Sienna choked on her second glass of champagne and saw with amusement that Rachel and Claudia were nodding eagerly.

"I think I can come up with a way to get him out of his suit," she assured them with a sly wink once she recovered from the shock.

The women exchanged smiles and nodded in approval. Sienna chatted with them for a while longer before excusing herself. She went to the bow, wanting to get some time away from everyone and from her current point of view, the front appeared to be empty. With a new glass of champagne in her hand, she left the deck and the Friedmans' guests behind.

Sienna leaned over the railing and observed the ocean. She had a lot of respect for it and thanks to spending many summers sailing, she had a good understanding of the dangers it harbored.

The sun was shining, its warmth feeling good when mixed up with a fresh breeze that only an open sea had to offer. The guests weren't her favorite company, but she'd been around worse people, so she wasn't too disappointed. The music was too old school instrumental for her taste, but she preferred that to silence. She hadn't tried the food yet, but she saw a wide variety of fish and other seafood. Considering she was on her third glass of champagne and still feeling rather good, she knew they weren't saving money on it. It was a perfect day.

"How did it go?"

Sienna turned around and smiled when she saw Aiden. He looked sharp in his tailored suit that threatened to break because of his ever-growing muscles. She lifted her hand to touch him, but she decided against it and took a sip of her champagne instead.

"Not too bad," she told him when she emptied the glass, then showed him the list of people she got on their side.

Aiden's eyes widened and a smile spread on his face. "You did well!"

Sienna shrugged nonchalantly. "I know. What about you?"

He showed her a list of people he convinced to join them and Sienna had to admit he did a good job.

"Let's celebrate," she said. "We've done more than has been asked of us. The Friedmans will have to wait until the perfect opportunity, which I don't think is now."

Aiden nodded, then looked at her glass. "Can I get you a refill?"

"Yes, please," Sienna replied with a smile. "And a kiss if you're so kind."

It must've been the champagne talking, because Sienna wouldn't ask for it so openly, but it was what she yearned for right now, and she wouldn't deny herself the pleasure of it just because it might be inappropriate.

Aiden lifted his brow for the shortest of moments before leaning forward and pulling her into a kiss. Sienna dropped the glass as she wrapped her arms around his neck and entangled her fingers in his curls.

He kissed her with hunger and necessity as if it was their last kiss. She leaned into it, opening her mouth to give him the opportunity to deepen the kiss, which he took without hesitation. His tongue met with hers in a choreographed dance that only they were familiar with.

His hands roamed down her back, sending shivers all over her body every time his skin brushed against hers. He stopped on her ass, squeezed it ever so slightly, cupping her ass cheeks, then moved lower to slide under her dress.

"Not here," Sienna said breathlessly, her lips moving against his.

"I don't care about them," Aiden replied in between kisses.

Sienna put her hands between them, breaking the kiss. Aiden's pupils were dilated and his hair messy. Sienna suspected she looked the same way.

"Later," she told him. "When we're alone. I don't want spectators."
