The club pulsed with a predatory rhythm, bass thumping through my chest like a second heartbeat. Neon lights sliced through the haze of smoke and lust, casting Damien’s face in jagged shadows. His eyes, usually sharp and calculating, were glazed now, heavy-lidded and dark with something I couldn’t quite name. Desire, maybe. Or something far more dangerous. I knew better than to trust him, but the wine, sweet and cloying on my tongue, had already begun to unravel my resistance“Adrian,” he purred, his voice a low rumble that sent shivers down my spine. “You’re tense.” His fingers brushed my wrist, light as a feather, but I felt it like a brand. I knew I should pull away, should remind myself of the walls I’d built around my heart, but the wine made my thoughts sluggish, my limbs heavy. I let him guide me to a secluded booth, the velvet cushions swallowing me whole.The air between us crackled with unspoken tension. Damien’s gaze was intense, almost predatory, as he leaned closer.

  • Chasing my Bestfriend × Lover   Chapter 67: The Bar

    ADRIAN'S POV The flashing lights of the VIP room blurred into different shades of color, mirroring the dizzying swirl of memories we were dredging up. Damien threw his head back, his laughter booming – a sound I’d always found ridiculously attractive.We were reliving our college days, fueled by expensive whiskey and the giddy haze of nostalgia. Damien, my best friend, my confidant, the unspoken ache in my heart for… well, forever. He’d insisted we forget about the clinic for tonight, forget about the mounting pressure, the…discrepancies. I was happy to oblige. Work always felt like a minefield lately, and time with Damien, untainted by stress, was a rare and precious thing.Damien slapped me on the back, nearly sending my wine sloshing over the rim. "Remember Mrs. Higgins? Man, she never saw it coming!"We’d been cracking jokes about the horny widowed librarian, Mrs. Higgins, that we bedded back in college. The poor woman was bent on the table when we both took her at the same time.

  • Chasing my Bestfriend × Lover   Chapter 66: Night of Diversion

    ADRIAN'S POVThe appointment at the clinic after my brief encounter with Selena felt like a blurry dream. Selena's distraction, the way she seemed to falter for a moment, had been a welcome reprieve from the crushing weight of reality. But that moment had passed, leaving me staring at the cold, hard facts laid out before me.I ran my hand through my hair, staring at the ledger and the past two years' worth of financial reports. It was all there, meticulously documented. Sienna. The one Damien and I had trusted implicitly, practically considered family. The one who had been systematically siphoning money from the clinic. Selena had confirmed it, meticulously tracing the discrepancies, the missing amounts, the cleverly disguised transactions. There was no doubt."Fuck," I muttered, the word a strangled whisper in the sterile silence of my office. "What the fuck do I do?"The question echoed in my mind, bouncing off the walls with no easy answer. How was I supposed to tell Damien? He tru

  • Chasing my Bestfriend × Lover   Chapter 65: One Last Fuck (R18+)

    ADRIAN'S POV I leaned back onto the table, my chest heaving as I tried to catch my breath. Selena stood up, a satisfied smile on her face. She leaned down and kissed me on the lips, her tongue darting into my mouth."Mmmmm..." I moaned, I can still taste my own cum from her mouth."Did you enjoy that?" she asked, her voice low and sultry.I nodded, unable to speak. Selena just laughed, her eyes sparkling with amusement."Good," she said, her hand reaching down to cup my still-hard cock. "Because we're not done yet."I thought we were finished. Suddenly, she hiked up her skirt to reveal her lace panties, already damp with desire. She hooked her fingers into the waistband, sliding them down her legs and letting them fall to the floor. My eyes widened in surprise as Selena climbed onto my lap, her pussy positioned right above my cock. She lowered herself onto me, her walls stretching to accommodate my girth. "Arggggg.." I let out a loud moan, my hands gripping Selena's hips as she beg

  • Chasing my Bestfriend × Lover   Chapter 64: CEO's Office Rendezvous (R18+)

    ADRIAN'S POV The air in Selena's CEO office was thick with tension, the kind that crackled like electricity between two people who knew exactly what was about to happen. I stood across from her, my heart pounding in my chest as I watched her set aside the documents that proved Sienna’s embezzlement. The evidence was damning, but it was nothing compared to the raw, unfiltered desire that now hung between us. Selena leaned back in her leather chair, her sharp eyes locking onto mine with a hunger that made my breath catch. "Time to pay up, Adrian," she purred, her voice low and laced with a command that sent a shiver down my spine. I smirked, playing along as I leaned against her desk, my athletic frame relaxed but coiled like a spring. "What do you have in mind, Selena?" I asked, already knowing the answer. She leaned forward, her lips brushing my ear as she whispered, "You can pay me by fucking me right here. On this desk. Be rough. Don’t hold back." Her words were like a spark t

  • Chasing my Bestfriend × Lover   Chapter 63: The Anomalies

    ADRIAN'S POV It was Wednesday, and a knot of unease had been tightening in my stomach since Sienna announced her sudden, week-long vacation. Sienna was the glue that held Clinic together. Organized, efficient, and unfailingly present, she was as much a fixture as the waiting room chairs. Her disappearing act, with no explanation beyond needing "personal time," felt profoundly out of character.I'd tried Damien, he'd just shrugged, looking as bewildered as I felt. "She said she needed a break. Couldn't get anything more out of her. Don't worry, Adrian, she deserves it."Deserved it, maybe. But unexplained disappearances weren't her style. Something was definitely off, a subtle discordance I couldn't quite put my finger on.Thankfully, my schedule wasn't too demanding this week. A small blessing, considering Sienna usually managed my appointments and patient flow with the precision of a Swiss watch. Without her, I was adrift in a sea of appointment reminders and patient files.I stret

  • Chasing my Bestfriend × Lover   Chapter 62: Siennas Advances

    DAMIEN'S POVIt was Tuesday afternoon, and for the first time in days, I felt a genuine lightness in my chest. Two days. Two days since Adrian had spoken to me again, really spoke. Two days since the crushing weight on my chest had eased, just a fraction. Two days. It felt like a lifetime.Guilt, a persistent, gnawing beast, still clawed at me. I knew I didn't deserve Adrian's forgiveness, his willingness to even look at me, let alone talk. He hadn't deserved any of it – the lies, the betrayal, the raw, ugly pain I had inflicted. I had vowed, silently but fiercely, to spend every waking moment proving myself worthy of another chance, to ensure I never repeated that horrific chapter of my life. Never again would I be the cause of his pain. No more disappointing him. No more hurting him.The day had been a relentless blur of appointments at the clinic. Now, finally, the last patient was gone, the door locked, and the silence was a welcome balm to my frayed nerves. Back-to-back consultat

  • Chasing my Bestfriend × Lover   Chapter 61: The Morning After

    ADRIAN'S POV The key clicked in the lock, and the heavy penthouse door swung inward. The stale air inside felt thick, clinging to me like a humid shroud. I was back. Back in the space I shared with Damien, a space that now felt tainted, poisoned by the images I couldn't erase.Sleeping on Selena's place hadn't eased the torment. Her well-meaning attempts at comfort only served to amplify my own self-inflicted misery. I had no right to be this angry, this devastated. Damien and I were just friends. At least, that's all we were supposed to be.The living room was a disaster. Empty whiskey bottles littered the glass-topped coffee table, surrounded by half-filled glasses and scattered ice cubes, now melted into sad little puddles. And there, sprawled inelegantly on the expensive leather couch, was Damien. Asleep, or perhaps passed out, with the remnants of a truly impressive bender clinging to him like a second skin.My stomach clenched. Part of me, the rational, detached part, felt a pa

  • Chasing my Bestfriend × Lover   Chapter 60: Giving Someone Else A Ride

    DAMIEN'S POVThe text message from Adrian still blazed on my phone screen, a cold, accusing fire even after an hour. “I already left 30 minutes ago. Go home. Don’t wait for me, I’m not coming home tonight.” No matter how many times I reread it, the chill seeped into my bones. This wasn’t the Adrian I knew. This was ice.I gripped the steering wheel, knuckles white. A wave of self-loathing crashed over me. Instead of patiently waiting for Adrian, as I’d promised, I’d let myself be seduced by the fleeting, tawdry promise of Nadia, a complete stranger whose face was already fading from my memory while Adrian’s haunted me. The sharp scent of her perfume, a cheap imitation of something exotic, still clung faintly to the car’s interior, a bitter reminder of my betrayal.Adrian probably saw us. Saw me and Nadia, tangled together in the driver seat of my car, the car I was supposed to be using to pick him up. The thought twisted a knife in my gut. It wasn't just the sex; it was
