With a trembling hand, she grabbed the phone off the table and placed it on her ear.

“Grandpa?” Waves of calm washed over her after she spoke with her grandparents, and they relayed the reason for the call.

Five minutes later, she dropped the call, but her fingers remained stiff around the phone.

“Your grandparents?” Julian asked.

“Sorry, I should have asked for an excuse. I was just scared something might have happened to them.”

“How are they?” His gaze sharpened with interest.

“They are fine,

  • Craving My Best Friend’s Dad   58. About that night

    Julian’s request and the thoughts on how to set clear boundaries with Sebastian messed with her head, contributing significantly to the insomnia she experienced all through the night. Tessa trudged into the reception area, hoping to catch some rest before work started, but as she pushed the door to her office open, there was a bouquet of flowers waiting for her as usual.“This needs to stop.” She murmured, tossing her bag on the desk. Sebastian really needed to stop sending her flowers. She picked up the flower and stormed out of her office, but this time, she didn’t give them to the receptionist. She took a turn towards the place she had never been to since she started working at Kensington Realty.She pressed some raps at the door, walking in with his permission. With a stoic expression, she approached his desk. “Good morning, Mr. Sebastian.” She gently lowered the bouquet on his desk, taking a brief look at him. His face held befuddlement, but she didn’t mind. She was done playi

I was just scared something might have happened to them.”“How are they?” His gaze sharpened with interest.“They are fine,” Tessa responded abruptly, but it occurred to her that Julian didn’t know anything about them. Why not give him a little story? “They raised me after my parents decided to leave me alone in this world. They are the reason I haven’t given up on life.” She turned to resume eating her food, but Julian noticed that she was brushing the cutlery over the food rather than picking up a fork to her mouth.Her mood was shifted. Maybe it was the conversation with her grandparents, or perhaps she was simpl

  • Craving My Best Friend’s Dad   56. Beyond my bed

    “For the times that I was silly, I’m sorry.”The wave of guilt that gnawed at her was indescribable. It cut deep. Very deep. “Mr. Anderson.” She tried to say something, but words failed her. “Do you forgive me, Tessaline?”“Yes,” she said, pushing aside the guilt that was killing her from within. “I do.” She steadied herself with a small smile on her face. “Thank you.” He stroked her fingers lightly, showering them with kisses. “I missed you.”She did too. She missed him so much, but was too angry to admit it. Looking at him now, the realization of how much she missed him dawned on her. She had been sulking on her first day at Ballawin, all because of Julian. The second day was when she got involved with Sebastian. That night, shame and guilt stole her sleep. All through her three days away, he was always on her mind.“I—” She couldn’t bring herself to say the words. She feared they wouldn’t sound genuine enough if they left her mouth. “I just…” she motioned at the garden. “I reall

  • Craving My Best Friend’s Dad   55. Self-reproach

    JULIANHe ambled through the garden with a bouquet of flowers in his hand, anticipating Tessa’s arrival. The escort company he hired to pick her up at the airport has reached out to let him know they were on their way to the mini-date he planned to welcome her home.He learned about Tessa’s arrival from Maribel during dinner. His daughter had spilled so much about Tessa’s trip because she believed her best friend was part of the family and that her dad should know about her plans. Julian had listened to all she had to say. Even asked questions under the guise of being a guardian.All the information he had gathered birthed this surprise date. Those words he said to Tessa before she left Velmark had left him out of jealousy. Even though he had been too egoistic to reach out for days, he missed her terribly. Three days without her was a hellish experience he never wanted to go through again.A chill ran through him as he thought of Tessa walking into this garden. Would she like it? He h

  • Craving My Best Friend’s Dad   54. Fuck you on that table

    Tessa couldn’t bring herself to look at Sebastian after everything that went down last night. She had tried to lie to herself by blaming her lack of self-control on the little alcohol she consumed, but even that wasn’t working. She didn’t have enough to get her inebriated.She was aware of everything unfolding. She had asked for it. She craved it. Wanted Sebastian to fuck her. Right now, as she stood watching him converse with the workers on the site, she was appalled by the intensity of her need last night. What had come over her?She didn’t know what to feel. Shame? Guilt or confusion? She had stared at the screen as the phone rang endlessly last night, lacking the courage to pick up Julian’s call.Sebastian approached with purposeful strides, his face void of emotions. He must have noticed her hostility because she didn’t go back into the room last night. She had left him hanging until he came outside to look for her. An unhealthy silence had hijacked the ride back home. Whenever

  • Craving My Best Friend’s Dad   53. You’re wet for me

    Sebastian’s eyes widened in shock. A burning heat spread through his body at her call for a deeper connection. The desire he’d been suppressing had just ignited in its fullest form. Raw, running beyond his control.“Tessa,” he tilted his head slightly to look at her.She should back away now that he was just brushing his lips against hers as if he was trying to determine if this was a good idea or not. Instead, she pressed in closer, demanding more intimacy.“What would you do if it was intended?” She repeated her question, seductive eyes roaming him from top to bottom.That was all it took for his hesitation to dissolve. He pulled her closer, arms circling her waist as he leaned into her.He deepened the kiss, erasing every reason he had to stop. They nibbled on each other’s lips, slowly, at first. Unrushed. But intensified when their souls were fully consumed, begging for a deeper connection. Their wet tongues tangled, mouths moving in sync with their lust towards each other. By the
