I Let My Father's Best Friend Taste Me
Harlow Vance has spent twenty four years feeling invisible. Her younger brother is the success story, the one her father brags about, the one who can do no wrong.
Desperate to feel something, to feel wanted, she decides to lose her virginity. Not to some boy her age who will fumble and forget her by morning, but to a man. A dominant she has been chatting with online for weeks, someone who calls her a brat and makes her pulse race with every message.
She agrees to meet him at Radiant, an exclusive BDSM club in Pittsburgh. She uses a fake name. She plans for one night, nothing more.
But when the door opens, it is not a stranger staring down at her.
It is Kael Hawthorne. Her father's best friend. Her father's business partner. The man she has been secretly aching for since she was old enough to notice the way his gaze lingered on her a moment too long.
Kael should push her away. He should call Julian and tell him his daughter is in a place she does not belong. Instead, he pulls her into the room and shuts the door.
But secrets have a way of slithering out. And when Julian walks into Radiant and finds his daughter on her knees for his best friend, everything Harlow has built with Kael threatens to shatter.
What do you think will happen?

Chapter: I LET MY FATHER'S RIVAL TASTE MEChapter 16 — Vespera’s POVTwo days passed before Thorne mentioned Cassian again. The bruises on my hip and thigh had darkened to deep purple, and the bite mark on my neck sat just above the collar where anyone could see it if they looked. He made no effort to hide them. Every morning he checked the marks with his fingers, pressing just hard enough to make me feel them again, and every time he did the same quiet possession settled over his face.On the third morning he told me to kneel in the usual place while he made a short call. I heard Cassian’s name. When he hung up he looked at me and said, “He is coming back this evening. This time he will stay and watch. You will not speak to him. You will not look at him unless I tell you to. You will only look at me while I use you. Do you understand?”I said yes. The word came out steady even though my stomach tightened.The hours until evening moved slowly. He kept me on my knees for long stretches, sometimes leaving me there while he work

Chapter: I LET MY FATHER'S RIVAL TASTE MEChapter 15 — Thorne’s POVThe elevator doors had barely closed behind Cassian when the last of my restraint snapped. The knowledge that another man had spent two hours looking at what belonged to me—naked, collared, thighs open, visibly affected by the exposure—settled into something dark and sharp behind my ribs, and the quiet satisfaction of having displayed her was already being overtaken by the sharper need to reclaim every inch he had seen. I looked down at Vespera still kneeling between my legs, lips parted, the flush of the orgasm I had just forced from her still coloring her cheeks, and the soft leather of the collar at her throat only fed the possessive hunger that had been building since the moment Cassian’s gaze first lingered.“Stand up.”She rose on unsteady legs. I did not give her time to find her balance. I turned her, bent her forward over the arm of the couch, and pushed her chest down until her cheek pressed against the leather, the position lifting her ass and lea

Chapter: I LET MY FATHER'S RIVAL TASTE MEChapter 14 — Vespera’s POVThe marks from the previous night’s spanking still carried a faint residual heat when morning light filled the penthouse, a quiet reminder that lingered every time I shifted on my knees or felt the soft brush of air against my skin. Thorne had reinforced the new rule before we slept, the requirement that I thank him after every orgasm already settling into the growing list of non-negotiable structures, and the memory of the words leaving my mouth while my body still trembled from the dual intensity of impact and release left a complicated weight in my chest that I could not fully examine.He woke me with the same calm authority as the day before, pointing to the rug without speaking, and I knelt while he dressed in a dark shirt and trousers that made the ordinary act of preparing for business feel like another layer of the protocol that now governed every hour. When he finally looked at me properly he rested two fingers under my chin and tilted my face upwa

Chapter: I LET MY FATHER'S RIVAL TASTE MEChapter 13 — Thorne’s POVI kept her against the glass for several long minutes after the last pulse of my release had faded, the cold surface at her back and the residual heat of her body against my chest creating a contrast that left her still trembling while the city continued its indifferent glitter beyond the window. When I finally stepped back I watched the slow trail of my cum slip down the inside of one thigh, the visible evidence of the public claiming settling something dark and satisfied behind my ribs. She remained where I had left her, breathing unevenly, the black collar stark against her throat and the flush of the two orgasms still coloring her skin.I did not take her to the bedroom immediately. Instead I guided her to the wide leather couch, sat, and drew her facedown across my lap so that her hips rested over my thighs and her upper body settled against the soft cushions. The position left her ass raised and available, the faint marks from earlier still visible on

Chapter: I LET MY FATHER'S RIVAL TASTE MEChapter 12 — Vespera’s POVNight had fully come by the time Thorne finally allowed me to straighten from the desk, the long hour of remaining bent and open with his cum slowly slipping down my thighs having left me restless and aching in a way that felt deliberately cultivated. He had taken two more calls while still buried inside me, his voice never once losing its calm professional edge even as his hips delivered the occasional deep, reminding thrust that forced me to bite back every sound. When he at last withdrew and told me I could stand, my legs were unsteady and the soft leather of the collar felt heavier than it had that morning.He did not lead me back to the bedroom. Instead he walked to the far side of the open living space where the floor-to-ceiling windows stretched unbroken across the entire wall, the glittering sprawl of the city spread out far below like a living map of lights and movement. He stopped only inches from the glass and looked at me over his shoulder, the

Chapter: I LET MY FATHER'S RIVAL TASTE MEChapter 11 — Vespera’s POVThe second full day of formal protocol began the moment I opened my eyes and found Thorne already dressed and standing at the foot of the bed, the quiet authority in his posture making it clear that every small freedom I had still clung to the day before was about to be stripped away. I sat up carefully, the collar shifting against my throat, and waited. He did not speak at first. He simply pointed to the rug, and I slid from the mattress to my knees with my thighs parted and my hands resting on my thighs, the position already beginning to feel less foreign than it had only twenty-four hours earlier.“From this moment until I say otherwise,” he said, voice calm and absolute, “you will ask permission for every single thing. You will ask before you stand, before you drink, before you eat, before you use the bathroom, before you speak anything that is not a direct answer to a question I have asked. If you forget, the consequence will be immediate and unpleasa

Chapter: THE HOCKEY PLAYBOY'S PLUS SIZE NANNYChapter 32 The woman in the hall was holding a little boy's hand.He had Rook's dark hair. Rook's serious, too-old-for-his-face eyes. And Rook was just standing there in the doorway like someone had cut his strings.Lily pressed into my leg. The little boy saw her sneakers and lit up."Hi," he whispered.Lily peeked out. "Hi.""Mara," Rook said finally, voice scraped raw. "This is my sister."The woman gave me a tired, apologetic smile. "Sarah. Sorry. I should have called.""You did call," Rook said. "I didn't answer."He said it flat, not mean. Just true. Sarah winced."I saw Tara's post from the gala," she said quickly. "I recognized Lily. And Michael wouldn't stop asking about the girl with the heart shoes."Michael — the little boy — was now solemnly comparing his dinosaur sneakers to Lily's."Sneaker twins," Lily declared, and just like that, they were best friends.I touched Rook's back. "It's freezing out here. Come inside. We have pancakes. Burned ones, courtesy of Lily."Sar

Chapter: THE HOCKEY PLAYBOY'S PLUS SIZE NANNYChapter 31The block party invitation was still on our coffee table the next morning, and Lily was using it as a coaster for her hot chocolate even though I told her that it was important paper. She said that important paper could be a coaster if you were careful, and Rook said that she learned that from him, and I told him that he was a bad influence.Rook laughed and said that he was a good influence now because he was almost a husband, and Lily said that almost husbands still left their socks on the floor. I told her that almost husbands did leave their socks on the floor and that husbands did too, and Rook said that he would work on the socks if I would work on leaving flour on the counter, and I told him that flour on the counter was art.We spent the whole week painting the little shop on Maple Street, and my mom came every day with babka and advice, and Mrs Kowalski came every day with chicken soup and opinions, and Tara came every day with coffee and gossip.

Chapter: THE HOCKEY PLAYBOY'S PLUS SIZE NANNYChapter 30The shop door bell jingled again, and Lily stood in the doorway wearing her pink backpack and her new white sneakers with hearts, and Mrs Kowalski stood behind her holding her hand. I was still holding Rook's letter, and Rook was still down on one knee with the little box open, and Lily looked at us and said that she knew what Daddy was doing.Rook looked at Lily, and he said that you were supposed to be at school, and Lily said that Mrs Kowalski said that some things were more important than school and that this was one of them. Mrs Kowalski smiled and said that she told the school that Lily had a family emergency, and that this was a family emergency of the best kind.Lily walked into the shop, and she looked at the dusty floors and the big windows, and she said that this shop was pretty and that it would be prettier with cookies. She looked at Rook down on one knee, and she looked at me standing with the letter in my hand, and she said Daddy, are you asking Mara to marry

Chapter: THE HOCKEY PLAYBOY'S PLUS SIZE NANNYChapter 29The text from the real estate agent was still glowing on Rook's phone, and Lily was still asleep in her room with her new sneakers by her bed and our family photo on her desk. I read the name Vanessa Cole twice because I thought I misread it, and then I handed the phone back to Rook and said that we should talk about it in the morning.Rook said that we should talk about it now because Vanessa did not get to ruin another good day, and I told him that she was not ruining anything and that a cash offer was just business. He said that it was not just business and that it was personal because Vanessa knew exactly what that little shop meant to me, and that she made the offer because she heard about it from Tara.I asked how Tara knew about the shop, and he said that Tara told everyone that he bought a bakery for his girlfriend because she was excited, and that Vanessa must have heard it at the arena. He said that he was sorry and that he should have kept it quiet, and I told hi

Chapter: THE HOCKEY PLAYBOY'S PLUS SIZE NANNYChapter 28The email about the dress being ready was still glowing on my phone screen, and Rook was already half asleep with his hand in mine and Lily snoring softly between us. I told him that the boutique said my dress was ready and that there was a surprise from a secret admirer, and he opened one eye and said that he had no idea what I was talking about, but his smile said that he was lying.He said that secret admirers were mysterious and that I should go find out who it was, and I told him that I knew exactly who it was and that he was terrible at keeping secrets. He laughed and said that he was good at keeping secrets when they mattered, and that this secret was worth keeping until morning. I told him to go to sleep because we had to be at the courthouse at eight, and he said that he would sleep if I would sleep, and we both closed our eyes.Lily woke us up at six thirty by sitting up and saying that she was hungry and that she wanted pancakes, and Rook said that we were havi

Chapter: THE HOCKEY PLAYBOY'S PLUS SIZE NANNYChapter 27The knock on my hotel room door was soft and careful, and Lily's small voice on the other side said it is me and that she could not sleep without the bear story. I opened the door fast because I thought she was alone, and she was not alone, and Rook was standing behind her in the hallway holding her pink backpack and looking tired and apologetic and hopeful all at once.Rook said that he was sorry for coming so late and that he tried everything to get her to stay in bed, but she had a bad dream and she asked for me and she cried until Mrs Kowalski told him to bring her over. He said that Mrs Kowalski said that it was better to bend a rule than to let a child cry all night, and I told him that Mrs Kowalski was always right and that he should listen to her. He smiled and said that he was learning to listen to the women in his life.Lily ran to me and hugged my legs, and she was wearing her pajamas with the little bunnies on them and her hair was messy from sleep.

Chapter: Chapter 32TEYARA'S POV I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Brielle was a deeply malicious woman, but how on earth did she manage to orchestrate a sabotage of this magnitude?"You're trying to figure out how I pulled it off, aren't you?" she bragged, a smug grin plastered across her face. "Oh, I know. I'm an absolute genius."She let out a twisted chuckle, thoroughly amused by her own cleverness."Alright, I'll spell it out for the idiot in the room—that's you..." She giggled again. "I had Adrian bribe an insider at the dealership to remotely hack their vehicle's computer system. They overrode the core mechanics to ensure the safety features fail completely. It is going to be a fatal collision, I guarantee you that. The trap is sprung. Absolutely nothing can stop my grand finale this time.""Don't you dare lay a finger on them!" I shrieked in absolute terror."Oh, sweetie, you've completely misread the situation," she corrected coldly, standing up from her desk but leaving the laptop behind

Chapter: Chapter 31 TEYARA'S POV I was fully cognizant of how profoundly irrational my reasoning appeared in that particular moment. Contemplate it objectively. What manner of person deliberately jeopardizes their own existence to shield two individuals who have inflicted nothing but devastating emotional destruction? Jax had shattered my heart into irreparable fragments. Chloe, consumed by her own insecurities and perpetual confusion, had weaponized her vulnerability against me — though I found myself incapable of directing my fury entirely toward her.Nevertheless, irrespective of our turbulent history, I categorically refused to withdraw. I could not, in good conscience, permit innocent lives to be annihilated as collateral casualties in this grotesquely orchestrated war. That singular conviction was precisely why, in direct defiance of every rational instinct screaming within me, I elected to remain within the epicenter of danger. Brielle would inevitably return to gloat triumphantly about her late

Chapter: Chapter 30TEYARA'S POV A tiny glimmer of hope kept me going. In an hour, maybe less, flashing blue lights might arrive outside. That was assuming the emergency dispatcher actually took my frantic call seriously and didn't dismiss it as some sick joke. If they ignored me, I was finished. I just had to hold onto that hope. Without it, I would completely break.The heavy door groaned on its hinges. Someone walked inside. From the heavy footsteps and the arrogant posture, I knew instantly it wasn't Brielle."Hey there, gorgeous," Adrian said, stepping into the dim light.One of the thugs had come in a few minutes earlier to tie me securely back to the wooden chair, ensuring I couldn't move an inch. Adrian was finally making an appearance. I guessed he had been out executing his boss's orders."What do you want?" I spat out, glaring at him with pure disgust."I missed you," he chuckled, leaning in close to my face. "I needed to see your pretty face. Brielle told me the hospital hit didn't go as pla

Chapter: Chapter 29TEYARA'S POV I wanted to burst out laughing right then and there. The expression on Brielle's face was absolutely priceless. Her skin turned a deep, furious shade of red. She was utterly boiling with rage.A new detective — clearly a high-ranking officer on the force — had completely ruined her plan and saved Chloe. He hurried her back inside the building before I could see anything else on the video feed.Honestly, I didn't care about the details. The only thing that mattered was that Chloe and her baby were safe. I wouldn't have to carry the guilt of causing their deaths for the rest of my life."You look a little flushed, Brielle," I mocked, letting every single word drip with pure sarcasm. "Maybe you should go outside and cool off.""Shut your mouth!" she shrieked.Channeling all her violent anger, she swung her hand and slapped me across the cheek as hard as she could. My skin stung, but I didn't flinch."I need to fix this mess right now," she muttered to herself, pacing wildly

Chapter: Chapter 28TEYARA'S POV What in heaven's name had I just done?I wished desperately to break free from her grasp and strike myself until I bled. I could not have chosen Jax over Chloe. I could not have made such a choice between two people.Brielle had merely been grating on my nerves, and I blurted out the first name that crossed my mind.Could her words have contained some fragment of truth? Why would I still consider saving Jax after all his wicked deeds toward me?Did some part of me still harbor feelings for him? No!I could not love someone like that! I simply could not! He had hurt me, betrayed me, shattered my trust.My family had deserted me. My friends had abandoned me. All because of him. There was no possible way I loved him. Frankly, I would rather end my own life than fall in love with Jax Mitchell.Yet that still did not answer the question of why his name had escaped my lips. Perhaps it was guilt for the pain I had caused him. I was so utterly confused.Now Chloe was in danger.

Chapter: Chapter 27Inspector's POV I abandoned every case file on my desk, leaving them to gather dust for another day. My focus had narrowed to a single point—this murder investigation. I have never, in all my years of service, been so utterly consumed by a case.My first step is to examine the bullet casings. Once I have the names, I can narrow the search and bring the perpetrator to justice. Perhaps then I will finally find some semblance of peace. To mutilate a fellow human being's body is an act of unimaginable cruelty. Heartless. When I conclude this investigation, Mr. John will finally find the rest he deserves, wherever he may be.My patience was wearing thin. I needed those names now. My thoughts were spiraling, and I had to act quickly.As if responding to my mental demands, my officer carefully placed a sheet of paper on my desk.I lifted it, and four names were printed in bold letters:· Chloe, Recently became Chloe Mitchell.· Brielle· Teyara· Jax"Excellent work, Officer.
