That question—that simple, gentle question—almost undid me.

I looked down at the table, tracing the rim of my glass. “I don’t know,” I admitted. “Numb. Sad. Relieved. Angry. All of it.”

She nodded like that made sense. “Breaks are messy.”

“But I’m fine—it’s not the end of the world, and if things don’t work out between us… that’s okay.”

I couldn’t believe how steady my voice sounded as I lied even though my eyes were practically leaking.

God, so pathetic.

  • Daddies Taste Better    CHAPTER 374: I Didn’t Lower The Gun

    Even through the roar of the storm, the deafening blast tore through the air as violent recoil slammed up my arms.The man staggered back with a choked sound, clutching his side as blood bloomed dark against his wet clothes, looking at me in shock like he couldn’t believe what had just happened.Without waiting to see if he’d fall, I scrambled to my feet with the gun still clutched in my shaking hands and ran toward the house again.I needed to get to him. Fast. He could be bleeding out for all I knew, and that single thought was enough to make my lips tremble.Just as I was closing the distance, something heavy slammed into me from behind. Kai tackled me hard, sending both of us crashing to the muddy ground. The impact knocked the air from my lungs and the gun from my grip as it skidded away into the wet grass, completely out of reach.“Let go!” I snarled as I fought like a wild animal. Kicking, clawing, and twisting under him.Doing everything I could in my power to free myself.

  • Daddies Taste Better    CHAPTER 373: Please Be Okay

    The question caught him off guard. A drop of rain slid from his split lip as he froze, every line of his body signaling a hard refusal to answer that question. He opened his mouth to speak, thought better of it, and closed it. When he finally found his voice, it was to say something that had nothing to do with what I’d asked. “We should get you inside before you catch a cold,” he said instead, reaching for my arm again like he could steer me toward shelter. I jerked back. “No. Answer me.” For a moment, he just stared at me. A moment that felt like forever in the freezing rain. Then, a slow smile curved his mouth, crinkling the bruised skin around his eyes. “It was on the day of your prom,” he said quietly. “I saw your photo before it got taken down. You looked… beautiful. Like a person who didn’t belong in that world. And then, somehow, you ended up here. Close to me.” He let out a short, disbelieving laugh. “Look me in the eye, Saraphina, and tell me that isn’t fate.” “…”

  • Daddies Taste Better    CHAPTER 372: When Was That?

    Noah’s grip on the wheel tightened until his knuckles went bone-white, but he stayed silent. Kai’s voice came again. “We ruined the generator and killed the fucking power. Did you honestly think we’d be stupid enough to leave your chance of escape untouched? Come out, Noah. It’s pointless. You know how this ends.” The words hung in the air between us and I felt a fresh wave of dread wash over me. There was no way out of this. None I could think of. Noah finally glanced at me, rain still dripping from his hair onto his face. “We’re stepping out,” he muttered. I nodded, lips trembling as more tears slipped down my cheeks. My hands were shaking so badly I had to clench them in my lap just to keep from completely falling apart. The car felt like the last piece of cover we had, and the idea of stepping out into that storm made my stomach twist violently. Noah reached out and grabbed my face, his hand wrapping around my cheeks. He was usually so warm before, but now his hands we

  • Daddies Taste Better    CHAPTER 371: We Got In

    The freezing rain washed over me, mixing with the cold and fear from earlier, and all I could think was how fast my day had just gone off a cliff. One minute I was hiding in my room out of sheer embarrassment, and the next, I was getting shot at and dragged through a downpour by the exact man I’d planned to hide from.It was almost laughable at this point that I'd actually thought today was going well.Noah’s eyes scanned the trees and fired again, the shot echoing into the night, and I heard a muffled curse from somewhere in the darkness. Then he tugged me forward again, moving us along the side of the house toward what I hoped was a safer spot, the rain soaking us both to the bone while the attackers’ voices carried faintly on the wind.This night wasn’t ending anytime soon.And I had no idea if either of us was getting out of it alive.My lungs burned as we continued to run, my bare feet slipping on the wet grass and mud. Every crack of thunder blended with the distant shouts and

    He opened his mouth, like he was about to argue or tell me to stop being ridiculous, but then his eyes suddenly widened in alarm.“Watch out!” he barked.In one swift motion he yanked me inside the room. The movement was so fast I barely registered what was happening until I heard the whoosh of something heavy swinging through the air right where my head had been a second earlier.My heart slammed against my ribs as I whipped around.Standing in front of me was a figure dressed in all black, face hidden behind a dark mask. In their gloved hands was a baseball bat, already raised for another swing. The wood had missed me by inches, slamming into the doorframe instead and leaving a deep gouge in the wood.Noah immediately shoved me further into the room with one hand while the other shot out to slam the door shut. His fingers flew to the lock, twisting it with a click just as the bat came down again, but this time against the door itself.Thud.The whole frame rattled.Did I almost get

  • Daddies Taste Better    CHAPTER 369: …No, That’s Not True

    I followed him outside, the rain immediately soaking through my clothes as the wind howled around, whipping my hair into my face and making the flashlight beam dance wildly in my hand. Noah led the way around the side of the house toward the generator shed, his light cutting right through the pouring rain. I stuck close like he said—honestly, closer than I probably should’ve considering everything—but with the darkness and the storm, being alone felt way worse than whatever awkward tension was still hanging between us.He crouched in front of the generator, rain dripping from his hair as he fiddled with the controls. I stood back a few feet, holding my phone light on the generator as he tried cranking it up the first time.It didn't budge.He tried again.Still dead.“Come on, you piece of shit,” he muttered under his breath, yanking the cord again. Nothing. The engine sputtered once, coughed, then went silent.Noah cursed louder this time, the words frustrated as he tried again. A
