We worked in near silence for the better part of an hour, Jax and I moving through the penthouse like a cleanup crew after a crime scene.

I handled the personal items myself—anything that felt intimate, anything I didn’t want another set of hands on.

The silk ties went back into their drawer, folded precisely the way I liked them. The watches returned to their velvet trays, each one clicked into place like ammunition sliding into a magazine. The cash envelope was gone, but I didn’t dwell on t

  • Daddies Know How She Tastes Better    CHAPTER 451: Don’t

    It did not take long to realize he had actually fallen asleep because his breathing grew heavy against my collarbone. I sat there listening to it when a stupid curiosity crossed my mind. Before I knew it, I raised my hand—slowly enough that I could have stopped if I had any sense left—and touched his hair.It was… soft.Softer than I expected, finer than a man that hard had any right to have, and the ridiculous softness of it made my throat tight because this was James, the same bastard who had tied me to a chair and chased me through the woods, and here I was sinking my hand into his hair. It was a miracle that didn’t wake him.There wasn’t even a twitch. Just goes to show how fucking exhausted he was that my fingers in his hair meant nothing next to the need to sleep, and a smile found its way onto my lips before I could stop it. Then I noticed a crawl at the back of my neck.I raised my gaze toward the house and found Celeste standing in front of it, framed by the doorway like

    I held the glass out and he took it without looking at me at first, his fingers damp from the condensation.“Thank you,” he mumbled as he drank, throat working, eyes still on the garden while I sat down beside him.For a while neither of us said anything. Probably because there’s too much to say than there isn’t anything to say.James held the glass against his knee and let out a short breath that almost counted as a laugh. "If Noah could see the state of this garden," he murmured, his eyes still fixed on the overgrown beds, "he would be absolutely furious."The laugh that followed was rough and tired, and there wasn’t much humor in it. I followed his gaze and looked at the garden too, at the places where the soil had dried and the blooms had started to go messy at the edges, and I could almost see Noah standing there, pissed off at the neglect. “Yeah,” I breathed out. “He would lose his shit.”A faint twitch tugged at James’s mouth as he rotated the glass between his fingers.I gla

    RILEY°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:・I had barely seen James since the night he drove off after the phone calls; he had become a rumor more than a person, coming and going at hours that never lined up with mine, and before I knew it, I started telling myself I didn’t care where the hell he was. Then he stepped into the hallway while I was still holding a laundry basket against my hip, and the second I recognized the set of his shoulders I forgot the basket, forgot the folding, forgot every silly lie I had been feeding myself about not giving a shit, and I went straight to him.But the sight of him broke my heartHe looked wrecked in a way I had never seen on him before, pale under the jaw, dark under the eyes, clothes that looked slept in if they had been slept in at all.“James… are you alright?” I asked, the words tumbling out before I could make them sound less desperate, because five days of no answers had sanded every bit of pride off me.He opened his mouth to answer, but before he could get a sing

    Seraphina slowly turned toward me, as if any sudden movement might make the words rearrange themselves into something less devastating.“What?” she whispered.The single word was barely more than a breath, but it filled the whole room. I forced myself to meet her eyes, even though part of me wanted to look anywhere else, because if I was going to tell her this, I could not do it while hiding from the damage it would do.“Noah was my boyfriend before I was with your father.”Her face did not move, but her eyes were locked on mine with a kind of stunned stillness that made it harder to keep going and impossible to stop.I curled my hand into a fist.“It was not a good relationship,” I continued, sitting back down on the edge of the bed because my legs no longer felt steady enough to hold me. “I was young, and I stayed longer than I should have because I thought love was supposed to feel like waiting. Noah neglected me and kept me close enough to claim me and far enough away that I spen

    She looked worse than she had the last time I had properly looked at her, standing in the half-dark of her room with swollen eyes and a face that had been washed too many times by tears. Her hair was pulled back in a messy bun that told me she had not cared enough to do more than keep it out of her face, and the shirt she wore hung off one shoulder as if she had been wearing it for days. My poor baby.Just the sight of her sent a sting to my heart.She did not invite me in but I did not rush her. I did not step inside until she moved back just enough to make space, and even then I kept my voice gentle as I closed the door behind us and let the quiet of the room settle around both of us. The curtains were drawn with the lamp on her nightstand as the only light, throwing a soft gold across the unmade bed and the pile of clothes near the chair. It smelled faintly of her perfume and the stale air of a room that had not been opened to the rest of the house in too long. I sat on the e

  • Daddies Know How She Tastes Better    CHAPTER 446: I Want To Talk About Noah

    THEA ASHFORD °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:・I didn’t know what to do.After James took Noah — after the blood, after the way his body had gone slack and still — Seraphina refused to let us sit with our questions, even though that wasn’t exactly a moment where any of us could’ve brought ourselves to ask them anyway.She forced us out of the shock and made us drive her to the estate where she’d been staying.A girl named Riley was the one to answer the door. She couldn't have been older than twenty four, but her eyes held a sharp precision to it as she studied our stained clothes, our panicked breathing, and our vacant stares in a fraction of a second. She weighed every breath before she spoke when Saraphina asked her for answers regarding James whereabouts.And her response was that he hadn't been back or made any form of contact since he left at dawn.That was days ago.And still… we haven’t gotten a single idea where both James took him—or if Noah is even alive.That took a toll on everyone, even Gage
