Falling For My Ex's Dad
"I want you... right here... right now." I breathed.
His lips hovered over mine, his breath mingling with my own as he spoke. "Once I start, there's no turning back."
I swallowed hard and nodded. My gaze dropped to his lips, full and tempting. I watched, craving, as his tongue swept across his bottom lip
"How could I possibly want you to stop when my body is aching for your touch?" The words slipped before I could stop them.
For a second, I thought he would push me away again, but then something in him snapped.
His lips inched closer to mine, and his fingers lightly stroked my cleavage. The touch made my breasts push higher against my dress, my nipples tightening, my chest heaving as my heartbeat raced.
It was all getting too intense, and I was tempted to run and pretend this never happened. But the ache between my legs was too strong to ignore. I wasn’t about to let this moment slip away.

Chapter: Chapter 181: The Lies Hurt LessGabriel’s POV Clairessa didn’t look at me. Not once. I ended the call mid-sentence. Whatever deal it was could wait. I couldn’t focus anyway. My hand dropped to my side as I watched her climb the stairs like she was dragging the weight of the world behind her. Her shoulders were hunched, arms wrapped tight around those shopping bags like they were the only things keeping her together. The way her foot dragged on the top step made my chest twist. I’d seen her bruised before—but not like this. This was devastation. And her eyes… I didn’t need a clear view to know they were red and swollen. She’d been crying. Dammit. Watching her like that—broken—and not being able to go to her, to comfort her… it tore at me. The front door closed with a soft thud, pulling my attention back. Adrian stepped in, locking it behind him. His face was pale, hair tousled like he’d been dragging his fingers through it for hours. “Dad…” I didn’t answer right away. Couldn’t. My eyes stayed on the sta

Chapter: Chapter 180: Done With Being A PawnClairessa’s POVAdrian's hands shot out, steadying me before I could stumble back. “Whoa—where are you dashing off to?” he asked, eyes searching mine.I opened my mouth, but no words came. My throat closed around them. “I—I just…” I stuttered, glancing away.“What’s wrong?” he asked, voice softer now. “Talk to me.”I tried to pull away, but his grip on my hand tightened—not enough to hurt, just enough to hold me there.“Nothing. I just need to be alone,” I muttered, trying again to slip free.“No, you don’t.” His voice was firmer this time. “You don’t need to be alone right now. Something happened. I can see it all over your face. Please, talk to me.”The kindness in his voice made something in me crack. But I couldn’t tell him the truth—where I was going, what had just happened. And I knew if I said too much, he’d want to follow.“I just…” I exhaled shakily. “I need to go back to my apartment. I want to see what’s left. What I can salvage.”Adrian’s expression darkened with concern,

Chapter: Chapter 179: The Impenetrable Man Had Returned Clairessa’s POVI stared at Gabriel in disbelief, a knot tightening in my stomach as I waited for the rest of the sentence—like it was some kind of sick joke and any second now, he’d laugh and take it back.But he didn’t laugh. He didn’t even blink.He was serious. Stone cold.What the hell did he mean—help Adrian grow up? Keep him focused? Become the woman who inspires him to be a better man?What the actual hell?Was I supposed to play life coach now? Or worse... a supportive girlfriend?“Gabriel, this isn’t going to work. Can’t you see that? Not after everything that’s happened between us. And I thought you were a man who prided himself on honesty. Now you want me to lie to your son?”He stepped closer, closing the space between us until I could feel the heat rolling off him—familiar and maddening. I instinctively moved back, but it wasn’t enough. His breath brushed my cheek as he spoke.“I’m not asking you to lie,” he murmured, voice low and dark. “I’m asking you to keep pretendin

Chapter: Chapter 178: My Secret And My MistakeClairessa POVThe day had finally gone by faster than I expected. Adrian had settled into his downstairs room—claiming it was more convenient, already filled with his things—while I was placed upstairs. It felt like life was playing another sick, twisted game on me, because he’d placed me in the room closest to Gabriel’s. He even joked about it—said maybe his dad would finally warm up to me, get to know me… even like me. What he didn’t know was that I already knew Gabriel. Intimately. He was my secret. My mistake. My obsession. The man I had once given everything to—and the one I still wasn’t over. And I knew this house—every hallway, every door, every room. So when I left my room and wandered to Gabriel’s door, I told myself it was just to say thank you—for letting me stay until I figured things out, for not turning me away.But a voice in my head warned me to go back. That nothing good would come from this. Still, I didn’t stop. His door was ajar. I didn’t knock—

Chapter: Chapter 177: Thirty Days, That's All She GetsGabriel’s POVI looked at Adrian—and for the first time, I saw something different. Adrian wasn’t fighting.He wasn’t bluffing.He was broken.Humbled.He wanted to make things right.And in that moment, I knew—if I said no, I might lose him for good.This wasn’t just about Clairessa anymore. It was about righting something that clearly mattered to him. And he needed me—not as a boss, but as a father—to back him up.Fuck.“Fine,” I bit out. “She can stay. But not more than a month.”Relief washed over his face, lighting him up like the boy I hadn’t seen in years.“Thanks, Dad,” he breathed, pulling me into a quick, tight hug.I stood stiff for a moment, then patted his back, still not used to these moments.As he pulled away and walked out, I turned back toward the window.At least I had one consolation: Adrian’s vulnerability had given me leverage.Now he’d listen.Now he’d obey.This was my chance to mold him—straighten him out, finally turn him into the man I knew he could become.

Chapter: Chapter 176: We Are Both In Love With The Same WomanGabriel’s POV I paced the room, anger and heartbreak twisting so violently inside me I thought they’d tear me in two. My fists clenched and unclenched at my sides as I stared out the window into the night sky—the only thing that made any sense in this goddamn chaos. Then I heard the door push open behind me. Adrian stepped in, shutting it with a firm click. “Dad,” he said, frustration clear in his voice, “why did you react that way? You just walked out of dinner because I asked you to let Clairessa stay? I don’t get it. What’s so hard about that?” “Adrian, not now,” I muttered, my voice low. “We’ll talk later.” But he didn’t back off. “Why not now?” he pressed, stepping closer. “Why can’t we talk about it now? What is it? What do you have against Clairessa? It feels like you don’t like her—you’ve never liked her, not from the first time you saw her. What is it? Is there something you know that I don’t?” I didn’t want to do this. Not now. Not while my mind was still spinning… n
