~ Anyssa's Pov ~

Can he just… leave?

“Mavis… look. I’m not mad about the other day, I can’t even remember it. Trust me, it’s fine.”

“You sure?”

“Y-yes,” I answered. I’m being tortured right now. Ronan isn’t slowing down one bit, and I think… Oh my god, I’m about to come.

I held onto the pool walls, shutting my eyes and looking down. I hope Mavis doesn’t see my face or how much I’m shaking, that would definitely embarrass me.

My legs shook in the water as I reached my orgasm, and for the first fucking time, I came in front of the man I once had a crush on.

I could see stars. I bet I really could.

“I don’t think I’m in the mood for swimming,” Mavis said, about to leave. “Maybe we can get lunch later? Just you and me, to catch up on old times.”

Hell no.

“Sure.”

“Okay, good night then,” he said and walked away. When he was gone, Ronan came out from hiding, pushing his head out of the water.

“Jesus,” I said breathlessly. Because what in God’s name was that?

“Is he gone?”

“Yes, he is.”

  • Craving My Father's Best Friend   Chapter 65: You are my heart

    ~ Anyssa's Pov ~“You need to let him know, Nyssa,” Vanessa urged. After the short meeting with Mavis at the coffee place, I shot a text to Vanessa, and we met at Ronan’s place.“I don't know. This is his son that we're talking about. Not just anyone. Not just a stranger, his own flesh and blood.”“He is blackmailing you. It's not just about you, Nyssa. Ronan needs to know what his son does now. How can someone change so quickly? Does that wife of his not keep him in check?”I hated how he had gotten under my skin to blackmail me. He now knew my secret, and I couldn't risk anyone finding out about Ronan or us.What if he loses everything?“Look,” she shifted. “He wants to get under your skin. He thinks that he has the upper hand, but he doesn't. You have to show him that you know better. Don't let this get to you.”Oh, how I wish. You know what sucks, though? The fact that I'm shaking in my pants because of this. This was a man that I was in love with. My own best friend. Oh, how the t

  • Craving My Father's Best Friend   Chapter 64: Koko Jitters

    ~ Anyssa's Pov ~ I didn't think I'd heard him properly.“You cut him off? Why?”“He hurt you,” was all he said. Mavis is his son, his own flesh and blood. A part of me felt bad, like it was my fault.I knew I shouldn't feel that way, but I couldn't help it. I knew how much Ronan loved his son, and now that the two of them were becoming close, I had spoiled it.I shifted in my bed, planning to stand to my feet.“You can't do that. You can't just cut off your son for me because you want to keep me safe.”He cupped my cheeks, forcing me to look straight into his dark eyes. “I would do anything to keep you safe. What Mavis did was wrong, and I won't let anything happen to you while I'm here. Understood?”I don't think anyone has ever said that to me. No one had ever gone the extra mile to protect me. All my life, I'd lived to protect myself, to look out for myself.So hearing this man, listening to his words, made my heart thrum in my chest. It made me feel special, like I really did me

    ~ Ronan's Pov ~ “Come in,” I responded to the knock on the door.Mavis walked into my office, both hands in his pockets.“Hey, Dad. You wanted to see me?”“Yeah. Sit down,” I said, my face straight on my computer before I looked up at him.“Are you feeling any better now?”“For what?” he asked, confused.“You told me you needed some time off because of some things. Remember?”“Oh, yeah. I did need some time off.”I noticed the way he sat in the chair, unbalanced and uncomfortable. His eyes were on the laptop in such a way that one would think they were on me. Mavis had always done this anytime he was hiding something.“So, do you feel any better? You know you have a company to work at, right? You don't necessarily have to oversee this one since I'm here.”“Yeah. I know, Dad. I just like it here in New York. Plus, Ruby likes it here too.”“Hmm.”“What's wrong? You're acting weird.”I relaxed into my chair, folding my hands. “Like you want to say something to me and you're waiting for t

    ~ Ronan's Pov ~ I watched her closely as she gently opened her eyes, scanning the room before they landed on me.“Hey, baby,” I said softly, touching her cheeks.“Hi.”She tried to sit up straight, but I prevented her from doing so. I helped her adjust the pillow properly, gently enough so it wouldn't shake the drip.“How are you feeling? We brought you to the hospital when you collapsed in the elevator.”“Oh… yeah. I-I'm sorry I didn't—”“It's okay, don't say anything, baby. The doctor said it's from anxiety and you had a panic attack. You're on a drip for strength because you were weak, baby.”She placed a hand on her chest and then on her head before holding mine. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.“You just need to rest.”I was worried sick. I didn't waste any time when I heard she'd collapsed in the elevator. What I didn't understand was why, and what? What was she afraid of? Why had she gone into shock and had a panic attack?I looked at her, studying her to find o

  • Craving My Father's Best Friend   Chapter 61: Lies We Tell

    ~ Anyssa's Pov ~ I can't get over that night. Over the way he held me. Grabbed me like I was some kind of thing. Like I wasn't even human. It baffles me because this person used to be my best friend—my first love—and now I can't see him as anything more than a monster.“Nyssa!” I bolted upright in my chair before looking up at Ronan.“Oh, I'm sorry. Did you need anything?”He narrowed his eyes at me before introducing the woman beside him. A brunette in her late thirties stood there, dressed in a beautiful burgundy slim-fitted dress and jewelry that I guessed was expensive because it looked the part.“Are you okay?” he asked, worry etched on his face. I can't tell him about what Mavis did last night. I can't do that. He wouldn't be able to take it.“It's nothing. I just didn't get much sleep last night because I was working on some stuff.”He nodded, acting weird himself before introducing me to our guest.“This is Patty. Patty West. She'll be the new managing director.”“What? I tho

  • Craving My Father's Best Friend   Chapter 60: Fear

    ~ Anyssa's Pov ~ I froze as Ronan approached us. How was I going to explain what he was doing here... and with flowers? I looked back at Mavis, who had a confused look on his face.Fuck.“I just came back from a party and thought to check up on Nyssa,” Ronan said.“And the flowers?” Mavis pointed out.“Oh... these are for my date. She forgot to take them when I dropped her off.”My racing heart finally calmed down when the look on Mavis's face became neutral. I swallowed and slowly turned to Ronan, about to act like this was all a coincidence.“You didn't have to come see me, sir.” I hated calling him that, knowing he was more than that.“It's okay, Nyssa. I just needed you to send those documents you promised to send today. They're important, and I need you to work on them and send them, okay?”He looked at me, and then back at his son. This was weird. This was so weird, having father and son both at my place. And what the fuck did Mavis just say?“Alright then. Oh, and Mavis, what
