CYRIL’S POV

The engine growled beneath me as I tore through the city, one hand gripping the wheel, the other drumming against the console. My teeth gnashed as I thought about the fucked up therapist whom I was going to pay a visit.

I tried to focus on the road and not on the thoughts in my head. Street signs whipped by as I tightened my grip on the steering wheel.

Every bump in the road just made the tension coil tighter in my, chest and even the slow music that was playing on the stereo did nothing to make me feel better.

By the time I reached the North End, the city lights had started flickering on, painting the skyline in gold and red, like the whole place was about to go up in flames. I pulled into the lot outside the building where Talon worked.

The parking spot didn’t matter, I took the first open space I saw, slammed the car door behind me so hard that it echoed loudly.

I sent a message to Jamie telling him to meet me here. I walked into the building and it was eerily quiet.

  • Breaking Daddy's Rules   138. It’s Official!

    RAINE’S POVI swear my heart was beating so loudly, I could hear it in my ears. It sounded like the judge was bored as she drawled out every word, but maybe that was just me holding my breath. “This court,” she began, her voice calm and echoing through the room, “having reviewed all documentation, testimonies, and interviews, including the minor child interview…” I grabbed Zayne’s hand beside me. He didn’t look scared anymore. Just tired, and maybe a little hopeful.“The petitioner’s request for sole custody of Zayne Vale has been denied,” the judge said.Wait what?!“Custody is hereby awarded to the respondent, Mr. Cyril Vale, who shall henceforth serve as the minor’s sole legal guardian.”Oh. My. God.I jumped. Like a full-body, feet-off-the-ground jump. I didn’t even think, I just squealed and threw my arms around Zayne. “We did it!” I shouted, squeezing the life out of him. “You’re staying with us. It’s official.”He grinned, cheeks turning red, but then he hugged me back just

  • Breaking Daddy's Rules   137. Meeting The Family Already. 

    RAINE’S POV I woke up with my face smooshed into a pillow and Cyril’s arm heavy around my waist. And honestly? I didn’t want to move. I loved it here. His skin was so warm, his grip so protective, like he was making sure I didn’t disappear or something.I wiggled back a little, just enough to feel him even closer and I smiled into the pillow like a total idiot. My heart fluttered wildly, I just wanted to stay here, wrapped up in him; soaking up this moment, watching his chest rise and fall. God, mornings like this made it so easy to forget the whole world was on fire outside this cocoon of ours.Just then, Cyril’s phone buzzed. Of course, reality came crashing down on me, stealing away my solace. I glanced at it, the pop up notification drawing my full attention. He had to be at court today—all of us actually. Zayne was going to testify and I was going to be present for support.‘Ugh.’ I groaned quietly. I couldn’t stay wrapped up in his arms all day, no matter how tempting it was

  • Breaking Daddy's Rules   136. God, You Are Perfect. 

    CYRIL’S POVHis hands trembled slightly as he reached for the zipper of my dress, undoing them. I shivered as the cool air hit my heated skin, and goosebumps began to spread over my flesh. Cyril pushed the fabric off my shoulders, letting the dress fall to the floor. His eyes darkened, as he stared at me. "God, you're perfect," he breathed, running his hands reverently over my slender curves. "I could look at you for hours and never get tired." I blushed at his compliment, feeling desired under his heated gaze. Cyril always knew how to make me feel like a queen.He moved his fingers slowly, trailing feather-light touches over my skin. Then he cupped my breasts, thumbs brushing over my nipples until they pebbled beneath his touch. Involuntarily, a soft moan escaped my lips.Cyril leaned down, capturing one of my hardened nipples in his mouth. I gasped in response, gripping the sheets as pleasure shot straight to my core. His other hand continued to knead my breast, rolling and pinch

  • Breaking Daddy's Rules   135. You Sure Are Bold

    RAINE’S POVWe headed to the kitchen after the movie ended to make dinner. Cyril helped us get things set—cutting board clacks, and low music playing old blues songs from the sound system. He left after informing us he wanted to take go take a shower. Zayne wouldn’t let me lift a finger, he did more of the cooking while I just stood staring at him. Sitting on the kitchen island, my legs dangling from the edge, I watched him stride across the space. He reminded me so much of his father. “I can’t believe you can cook?” I teased.He shrugged, looking humble. “I was close to the chef my mom hired while growing up. We were best buds actually.” “Well I guess that yielded something good.” I smiled just as he turned off the stove.We plated up the meal and sat at the dining table to eat. Cyril walked in just then, wearing a coy smile. “This looks tasty.” He complimented, taking the seat next to me. “All thanks to Zayne.” I said quickly. “He made all this and I was just his assistant chef

  • Breaking Daddy's Rules   134. Great Stepmom Skills

    RAINE’S POVI couldn’t stop thinking about what Cyril had said before he left. Like… seriously? How was I supposed to relax after that? I tried shaking it off, forcing myself not to think about Talon or any of the crap swirling in my head. I was alone, the house was quiet, and honestly I needed a distraction before I overthought myself into a spiral. Again. So I dragged myself off the bed and made my way downstairs, grabbing a blanket and throwing myself dramatically onto the couch. I landed with a huff, suddenly feeling like doing something kind of dumb but also kind of fun. I wanted to watch one of Cyril’s movies. Grabbing the remote from the centre table, I flipped through the movie list on the television until I found one he directed a few years ago. I clicked on it just so I could make fun of him later. Like, “Oh, so this is where your moody stares came from.” I was halfway through the movie when my phone started ringing. Chloe’s name flashed on the screen, over the FaceTime
