The morning sunlight crept through the thin curtains of Ariana’s apartment, brushing her cheek with a warmth that felt almost foreign after so many restless nights. She stirred under the covers, stretching her arms above her head, the faint ache in her muscles a reminder of yesterday’s long shift and the invisible weight that seemed to follow her everywhere.

Coffee first, always coffee. She swung her legs over the side of the bed and padded across the hardwood floor, toes brushing against the r

  • A Hot Daddy For Christmas   Chapter 145

    For a moment, neither of them spoke.The noise of the café filled the space between them, but it didn’t touch what was sitting at the table.Cami looked down at her hands, then back up at Ariana.“You know what the worst part is?” she asked.Ariana didn’t answer.She knew this wasn’t a question that needed one.Cami’s fingers tightened slightly around her cup.“It’s not even that you’re with him.”A pause.“It’s that you let me be around you while it was happening.”That landed differently.Sharper.More personal.Ariana felt her chest tighten.“I didn’t plan it,” she said quietly.Cami let out a short laugh.“That doesn’t make it better.”“I know.”“No, I don’t think you do,” Cami replied, her voice still controlled but heavier now. “Because you weren’t the one sitting there, talking to someone, trusting them, while they were hiding something like that from you.”Ariana’s gaze dropped for a second.Not avoiding.Just… taking it in.“I would’ve told you,” she said.Cami shook her head

    Cami didn’t overthink it this time.That was new.Usually, she would’ve waited. Let the feeling settle, sharpen, turn into something precise before acting on it.But she was tired of being the one who adjusted after everything had already happened.So she picked up her phone and called.Ariana answered almost immediately.“Cami?”There was something in her voice—surprise, relief, tension all mixed together.“We’re not doing this over text,” Cami said.Direct. No buildup.A small pause on the other end.“Okay,” Ariana replied. “Where?”Cami glanced around her room like the answer might be there.“Tomorrow. Lunch. That café near the park.”“I know it.”Another pause.“Cami—”But she cut her off.“Don’t say anything now.”Her tone wasn’t harsh.Just controlled.“I’d rather you say it to my face.”A beat.“…okay,” Ariana said quietly.The line went dead.Cami lowered her phone slowly.Her heart was beating faster now.Not from nerves.From anticipation.Because this time—she wasn’t going

    Ariana noticed the shift before it was said out loud.It wasn’t dramatic.It wasn’t obvious.It was in the way Mateo looked at his phone a little longer than usual, then put it down without saying anything.In the way he stayed quiet after dinner, not distant, just… thinking.She waited a while before asking.“What happened?”He looked at her from across the table.Nothing defensive.Nothing hidden.“I spoke to Cami.”That was enough to tighten something in her chest.Not fear.Not jealousy.Something more complicated.“Okay,” she said carefully. “And?”Mateo leaned back slightly in his chair.“She’s angry.”Ariana nodded slowly.“That makes sense.”Silence followed.Because neither of them tried to soften it.Ariana traced the edge of her glass with her finger, watching it for a second.“What kind of angry?” she asked.Mateo didn’t rush.“The kind that hasn’t finished yet.”That landed heavier than she expected.Ariana looked down for a moment.“I didn’t want to hurt her,” she said q

  • A Hot Daddy For Christmas   Chapter 141

    Cami didn’t sleep.She lay on her back, staring at the ceiling, the faint glow of the city slipping through the curtains and stretching across her room.Her phone was still on the bed beside her.Screen dark now.But she knew exactly what was on it.You already did.She had meant it.That was the problem.She turned onto her side, pulling the pillow closer, her fingers gripping the fabric without realizing it.For days—weeks—she had been fine.Not pretending.Not forcing it.Just… fine.Everything had settled into something manageable. Predictable. Controlled.No surprises.No emotional spikes.No moments that caught her off guard.And then one message—and suddenly she couldn’t shut her mind off.She sat up abruptly, pushing the covers away, frustration building in her chest.“Why now?” she muttered under her breath.It wasn’t even anger.That would have been easier.It was something heavier.Something that didn’t explode—just stayed.She got up, pacing her room, running a hand thro

  • A Hot Daddy For Christmas   Chapter 140

    Cami didn’t plan to go home that early.But something about the night lost its pull halfway through.The music felt louder than usual. Conversations blurred together. Diego was saying something beside her, but she wasn’t really listening.She picked up her drink, stared at it for a second, then set it back down untouched.“I’m leaving,” she said.Diego paused. “Already?”“Yeah.”He studied her face like he was trying to figure out if something had happened.“Want me to come with you?”Cami shook her head.“No.”A small pause.“I just want to be alone.”He didn’t push.“Text me when you get back.”She didn’t answer that. Just gave a small nod and walked out.The night air hit her differently this time.Cooler.Quieter.She wrapped her arms loosely around herself as she walked, heels clicking softly against the pavement.For once, she wasn’t rushing.She didn’t feel like she was escaping anything.But she wasn’t staying either.When she got home, she didn’t turn on the lights right away

    Morning came quietly.Ariana woke before him.For a few seconds, she didn’t move. She just lay there, watching him, like she needed to make sure he was still real in this version of things.The light coming through the window softened everything. Took the sharpness out of him. He looked different like this.Less controlled.Less guarded.Just… him.Her fingers moved before she could stop them, brushing lightly along his arm, tracing nothing in particular.He shifted slightly under her touch.His eyes opened a moment later.He didn’t look surprised to see her there.“You’re still here,” he said, his voice rough with sleep.Ariana smiled faintly.“I told you I wasn’t leaving.”A small pause.“I meant it.”He studied her face for a second, like he was checking for hesitation, for doubt.He didn’t find it.His hand reached for her, pulling her closer without effort, her body settling naturally against his.“You don’t have to prove it,” he said.“I’m not,” she replied softly. “I just… want

    The wind shifted again across the rooftop terrace, cool against Ariana’s skin.Cami’s eyes moved slowly between her and Mateo, that familiar mischievous spark already growing in them.“Why do I feel like I interrupted something again?” she repeated.Ariana felt her pulse jump, but she forced her sh

    The night air outside the club was cooler than Ariana expected.The heavy music faded the moment the door shut behind them, replaced by the distant hum of Madrid at night—cars passing along the boulevard, laughter spilling from late-night cafés, the soft clatter of dishes from restaurants still ope

    The music roared around them.Flashing lights swept across the packed dance floor, painting everything in brief pulses of blue and red.Cami danced like she owned the room.Fearless.Carefree.Her dark hair whipped around as she spun again, laughing when someone nearly bumped into her.Ariana tried

    The new year air over Madrid felt sharper that morning.Cold sunlight poured between the buildings of Salamanca, catching on wrought-iron balconies and glass storefronts, turning everything deceptively bright. The city moved forward — clean, renewed, alive.Inside Ariana, nothing felt clean.Nothin
