The next morning, I woke up to birds chirping outside and the sound of dishes clinking downstairs. My head was still spinning from the night before. My lips were sore from his kiss. But my heart? That was something else entirely.

Nicholas didn’t come down for breakfast that morning and Bella said he had an early call and left for work.

I expected he would text me or reach out, but he didn't. He didn’t even look at me when we passed in the hallway later after returning back from wherever he went.

I wasn't really bothered because I thought he was avoiding so Bella wouldn't notice too much about us, but I was wrong.

He didn't tease me like usual, just gave me a silent, cold attitude that didn't settle well with me. I decided I couldn’t take this anymore, so I tried something I wouldn't normally do.

I wore shorts that barely covered me and a low tank top, and walked past his office three times that day, hoping he would say something or notice me, but he didn’t.

  • Craving My Best Friend's Daddy   In His Sturdy

    ARIA'S POVIt had been four months since Nicholas asked me to be his girlfriend, secretly.And ever since that evening in the pool house changing room, he hadn't kept his hands off me. We weren't just pretending anymore. We were really doing this and living out a forbidden, fiery, untamed affair behind closed doors. His daughter Bella, my best friend, had no clue what went on under her father's roof. She still saw me as her innocent friend crashing in the guest room. But behind her back, Nicholas and I were sneaking around like criminals drunk on lust.Every time we were alone, something inside him snapped. The way he kissed me, touched me, fucked me, and gosh…it was like he needed me just to breathe. And God, I needed him too. For the first time in my life, I felt seen, wanted, worshipped.We would sneak into the shower together after Bella went to bed. His hands would be all over me, pressing my body against the cold tiles as the water poured down our skin. He would lift me up with

  • Craving My Best Friend's Daddy   Pool Party

    ARIA'S POVAfter Bella left, I quickly leaned in and gave Nicholas a soft, quick kiss on the lips. He smirked against my mouth, his fingers brushing my waist."You better go before someone catches us," he whispered.I nodded and slipped out of his room, quietly shutting the door behind me. My heart was racing. I felt both thrilled and nervous. I fixed my hair and adjusted my tank top to look like I had just been out walking. When I stepped into the hallway, Bella was already coming toward me."There you are!" she said, slightly out of breath. "I've been looking everywhere for you. Where have you been?"I forced a casual smile. "Sorry, I couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk around the back gardens. I just needed some air."She relaxed. "You should've told me. I thought you'd been kidnapped or something. Anyway, listen, I’m throwing a pool party this evening. Some important people will be around. You have to look hot, okay? Go get ready. Guests will start arriving soon."I nodded, tryin

  • Craving My Best Friend's Daddy   Leaving Me Wanting More, At The Ball Party

    Aria’s POVThe knock on my door came just as I was slipping into the red dress Bella had picked out for me.I stepped into the hallway, smoothing the fabric down my thighs. The dress hugged every curve, its deep neckline revealing more than I was used to. Bella’s eyes widened the second she saw me, and she let out a low whistle.“You look hot as hell,” she said with a grin, adjusting one of her diamond earrings. “Every guy in there is going to lose their minds.”“Your dad invited us both, right?” I asked carefully, knowing I didn't want to hear any conversation about any other guy while adjusting my clutch under my arm.“Of course. He said he wanted me to bring my best friend, because he’s one of the sponsors for the charity event tonight. Big deal stuff, uhm.”I nodded, trying to act normal, even though my heart was pounding. I had seen Nicholas this morning but he barely said two words to me since, and his eyes spoke volumes. Just as I and Bella stepped out after dressing up, Nicho

  • Craving My Best Friend's Daddy   In The Study

    Aria’s POVBy noon, I had officially moved in.Bella moved around me like an excited bee, carrying fresh bedsheets, soft decorative pillows, and a basket filled with her favorite self-care items into the guest room."Okay, so technically it's still the guest room," she said, tossing a throw blanket on the bed, "but think of it as yours now. No one else gets to sleep here but you."I gave her a small smile, feeling thankful, even though my stomach twisted every time I remembered that it's her dad that actually owned the house."You’re really sure about this?" I asked, watching her arrange the pillows with a level of focus like it was serious business."Absolutely," she said, giving me a playful wink. "I love having you here. And besides, Dad won’t mind."Well, that wasn’t true.Nicholas already minded, but not in the way Bella thought.He actually didn’t care that I was staying over, but he only cared because he couldn’t touch me the way he wanted to.***An hour later, there was a knoc

  • Craving My Best Friend's Daddy   Stay For A Month, Or Two

    Aria’s POVThe soft glow of morning sunlight streamed through the curtains, warming my skin and pulling me out of a deep, satisfied sleep.My body ached, but it was the kind of ache that reminded me of just how hard Nicholas had taken me last night.His scent was still in the sheets, and on my skin.I blinked, as my heart pounded from the memory of his mouth on mine, as his body pinned me down, while his voice growling filthy words in my ear as he fucked me over and over.I turned slowly, expecting to see him there, but the bed was empty.I sat up fast, clutching the blanket to my chest, as my eyes darted around the room, but there was no sign of him.The bathroom door was half open. I heard the faint sound of water running inside; I guess he was in there.I could have stayed and waited until he came out, but panic tightened my chest.What was I doing in his bed?What the fuck had I done last night?He was Bella’s father. Nicholas King.My best friend’s dad.And I had just let him fuck
