“Are we going back to the hotel?” Sienna asked as Declan climbed into the car. She didn’t think much about how the billionaire let his emotions show but rather had Ryan’s words in her thoughts. What did he mean by difficult to love? Was that because of Declan’s temper? She also thought about how they said she would hate the billionaire when she learnt the truth. 

“Nope. I’m taking you on our first date.” Declan smiled, which made Sienna lose her train of thought. His gorgeous smile made butterflies flutter in her stomach, and the idea of a date made her heart glow. He was actually trying to make her feel special and do regular things like any couple would. 

“Do I need to change?” 

“You look perfect already.” He stated, which made her blush. They chatted a bit about the new house, and Declan didn’t even ask what Ryan spoke to Sienna about. He was trying to trust her, plus if she wanted him to know, she would tell him. 

They stopped by a place called the Alba, which was a boat turned into a restaurant. You literally dine on the water. The sky was filled with blues, purples and oranges as the sun set and reflected on the ocean. As with everything else Sienna experienced in Cape Town, it was breathtaking. 

“Good evening, Mr and Mrs Foster.” A waiter greeted and led them to a table. The salty scent of seawater filled the air with a hint of vanilla as incense sticks burnt in a jar on the table. The waiter poured them a glass of wine each, and Sienna’s eyes flew wide. The last time someone gave her alcohol, it did not end well.

“Don’t worry, Mrs Foster. It is on alcoholic wine.” The waiter added when he noticed she tensed up. 

“Oh, thank you.” She smiled. 

“I phoned to let them know beforehand.” Declan winked as the waiter walked away. “They have a set menu, so I’m not sure what we will be eating.” 

“Thank you for taking me out,” Sienna said and looked at the beautiful sky. Declan felt mesmerised as her brown eyes reflected the colours of the sky, and he thought he had never seen anything more beautiful. 

“It’s a pleasure. Tomorrow we will move into the new place, but for now, we can try another chef’s food.” 

“I do miss our chef’s meals. He just knows how to make people feel happy while eating.” She laughed. 

“Mr Lorn is one of the best. Who used to prepare meals in your family?” He asked and hoped the question wouldn’t make her sad. 

“I did mostly, but on good days my mom would take over,” Sienna replied and smiled at the thought of her mom bossing her around in the small kitchen they had. 

“You should ask Mr Lorn if you can make us food one night if you want.” 

“I’m not sure you would like my food. I don’t know how to make extravagant food like our chef prepares.”

“I’m willing to try it. My foster dad loved to be in the kitchen, and he made tons of strange but delicious meals.” Declan stated. He was slowly opening up to her, and Sienna cherished every bit of information that he shared.

“You don’t have to answer me, but how did your real parents pass away?” She asked and watched the billionaire’s eyes flash with guilt. 

“I… uh, I prefer to not answer.” He stated with a frown. Sienna didn’t want to push for information in case he shut away from her, so instead, she changed the topic. 

“Where do you want to expand FosterA to next?” 

“Oh, well, I’m looking into an arrangement with Australia that I want my assistant to take over. The investor is… hesitant and keeps suspending his decision. I think he just wants to make sure that joining FosterA is a good business move.” 

“What does the A stand for in FosterA? I’ve always been curious.”

“It’s for my sister, Aideen. We were really close, but then she met Caleb, and I don’t know, I feel like we drifted. I think I’m just worried about her. I don’t really trust anyone to take care of her since that has always been my responsibility.” The billionaire remarked. 

“You can’t always take care of everyone. Sometimes the ones you love have to learn how to protect themselves.” Sienna sweetly stated and touched his hand. 

“I guess.” Declan nodded as the waiter returned with their starters. The conversation fell to cheesy jokes and flirtation as they enjoyed the meal. As night fell, the sky grew dark, and the stars shined above their heads. They had eaten enough, and Declan showed Sienna towards the water, where an employee of the Alba waited in a paddleboat. The employee helped Sienna in then let Declan take over. 

They paddled around and laughed when the waves made the paddleboat rock. Sienna had never been on one before and found the experience quite enjoyable. She let her hand flow in the water as they paddled and felt her heart smile when she looked at Declan. 

“You are quite incredible, Mr Foster.” She smiled.

“Why is that, Miss Chae-Soo?” He smirked and raised his eyebrow. 

“You look so proud when you smile. You are smart and so hardworking. You are kind and caring in your own way. You care so much about your sister and try to make sure everyone is safe. You take on the responsibility and do the difficult parts, so others have it easier.” 

Declan stared at the waitress, speechless. She spoke directly to his heart, and he felt like she was the first to understand him without even knowing him. He fell silent and paddled them back to the deck.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to make you upset.” She stated as the billionaire helped her out of the paddleboat. 

“I am not upset.” He said and pulled her along as he walked back to the car. Declan didn’t know how he felt exactly, but one thing was certain, he wanted Sienna. He opened the door for Sienna to climb in, then said loudly for the driver to hear, “Zem, take a walk. I need the car.” 

Declan then pulled Sienna closer to him and stared into her eyes. His blue eyes were burning with passion, and she felt her body cry out to kiss him as they were only a few centimetres apart. 

“Do you know why I wanted you the first night we met?” He whispered. “I thought you were incredible. You didn’t giggle and fall all over me. You seemed annoyed by me and tried to ignore me, which made me want you more. You were so beautiful and handled my temper well, even though I was awful. It takes courage to stay firm when you deal with a dragon.” 

Sienna lowered her eyes to his mouth and then looked back up to his eyes. “I didn’t like you at all, but I’ve always felt drawn to you.” She replied and moved closer to kiss him. He passionately kissed her back as Sienna sat on top of him. His hands hungrily moved over her body and gripped onto her ass. She moved to kiss his neck and softly sucked, which made him want more. Her hips moved on top of him, and she grinded against his hard erection. 

“I want you, Sienna.” He muttered huskily and wrapped his hand around her neck. He used his other hand to run his thumb across her lower lip and then stuck it into her mouth. She moved her hands under his shirt to feel his abs and was flipped onto her back. The small space in the car made them stay close together, and he unbuttoned the jeans she had on. 

“I don’t think you should wear jeans ever again when we are alone. Difficult access.” He grunted and pulled her jeans off. Luckily the windows were tinted, and the car was the only one in the underground parking. 

“Shouldn’t we wait till we get back to the hotel?” Sienna asked. 

“Do you want to wait?” 

“No,” She replied and gripped her hand around his dick as he pulled down his pants. His dick was strong and proud as veins ran along his shaft. She would never have thought she would love a man’s dick, but this was her man, and she loved every inch of his body. 

The windows steamed up as the couple fucked in the car. They couldn’t resist each other and the next couple of days wasn’t any different. Declan went to work but tried to spend every second he had free with Sienna. He walked into the house, and she excitedly ran up to him.

“I missed you!” She giggled and jumped into his arms. Her legs wrapped around his waist, and he kissed her hello. 

“How are my two favourite people?” He asked and touched her stomach. 

“We are good, and I made us dinner. Are you hungry?” Sienna asked and pulled him into their beautiful new dining room. Everyone that stayed in the house sat at the table and greeted the billionaire as he walked in. They looked like one big family, and Declan was shoved into his chair. 

“Chef and I made Mandoo. It’s a traditional Korean dumpling with 2 different fillings. Ground beef or pulled pork.” Sienna explained and sat next to Declan. “I hope everyone enjoys.” She stated as they tucked into the meal. Declan took a bite and let the delicious flavours fill his mouth. Sienna watched him and smiled as he enjoyed the food, which made her happy. 

Aaron loved that they had a Korean meal and wished Kian could be here to try this with him. He hadn’t dared to tell the billionaire or Sienna that he and Kian were romantically involved. He was scared of being judged and kept their relationship a secret. Kian didn’t mind and understood how it feels when you first explore the true side of yourself. 

Later that night, Aaron’s phoned beeped as a notification from Kian flashed on his phone. 

“I’m outside.” Kian’s message read. Aaron silently walked over to the front door and let Kian in. He gave him a kiss hello then they snuck over to Aaron’s room. 

“When are you going to get your own place? This whole sneaking around thing is starting to get childish.” Kian sighed as they sat on Aaron’s bed. 

“I know, and I’m sorry. I’m just still… scared.” Aaron replied and pulled Kian closer to him.

“You aren’t ashamed of me, right?” 

“Of course not! You are the best thing that has ever happened to me.”

“I am pretty great.” Kian laughed and lay back on the bed. “It’s so weird. Declan has been acting like a decent human recently.” 

“I think Miss Chae-Soo is keeping him happy,” Aaron replied. “I thought over your offer about moving to Australia with you… I don’t know, Kian. What if Mr Foster doesn’t like the idea?” 

“I know we have only known each other for a couple of weeks, but I want to be with you. The worst he can do is fire you, then you still come with me.” 

“I don’t want to depend on you to pay for everything.” 

“You’ll find another job easily, but that’s something we’ll figure out together. The Australia deal hasn’t been finalised yet.” Kian added and nudged Aaron’s shoulder. Someone knocked at the door, and Aaron froze. 

“I’ll get it.” Kian rolled his eyes and walked over to the door. It opened to reveal Declan on the other side. 

“Oh, Kian, I didn’t know you were here.” The billionaire stated. 

“Sorry, sir. I just came to visit Mr Wohoon. I’ll be leaving soon.” 

“No need, stay as long as you like. This is Aaron’s home as well. I just wanted to ask about the vase. Any news?” Declan asked.

“Yes, sir. It has been located, and a woman of FosterA is arranging to have it transported to you soon.” Aaron replied and walked over to the door. 

“Excellent. That vase is extremely important to me, and I don’t want a single scratch on it. Enjoy the rest of your night.” The billionaire smiled and walked off.
