Daddies Taste Better CHAPTER 407: Um… This Is Awkward
I had to swallow hard against the sudden burn behind my eyes, forcing my face to stay perfectly still. For a moment I couldn’t even look at either of them—I just stared at the floor instead.He said it like it was nothing.Like I was nothing more than a liability he was forced to keep close.“Um… this is awkward.”The voice came from the doorway.Only then did any of us notice the small group that had appeared there — Celeste standing at the front, Damian a step behind her, Riley off to the side with another staff member I didn’t recognize. The energy in the room flipped so abruptly it almost felt physical.Celeste’s gaze moved between Noah and Mr. James, then settled on awkward silence still hanging in the air.“Enough of this,” she said, already waving a hand like she could physically clear the atmosphere. “I don’t like this energy at all. And it’s even worse because I came with such good news.” She gave a little swirl of her wrist, the gold bracelets on her arm catching the light.
Daddies Taste Better CHAPTER 406: Those Words
I had always assumed Kai was tied to something smaller like a street crew, a local gang that dealt in threats and intimidation on a limited scale. Dangerous, yes, but contained. Something that stayed in the shadows of the city and didn’t reach much further than the people it directly touched.This was different.We were talking about an Italian organization and a Don who’d been itching to strike at my dad for years, held back purely by political weight. Now, Kai’s death—an event linked directly to me, this location, and Noah—was the exact leverage he’d use to come straight for my neck.The full weight of it settled in my chest with a slow chill that made the room feel suffocatingly small while the silence stretched tight with everything we were all avoiding saying.I looked at Noah, then back at Mr. James."I had no clue," I breathed out, my voice barely carrying across the room. "I thought..."Mr. James shook his head."This isn't your fault, Miss," Mr. James reassured me. “We didn’t

SARAPHINA °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･I watched her for a second longer, the leftover food cooling on the table beside me, and wondered what — or who — had put that look on her face.Then our eyes met.Riley’s expression shifted the moment she realized I was looking. She offered a quick, thin smile that didn’t reach her eyes at all, then pushed off the pillar and walked back toward the side entrance without lingering. The set of her shoulders stayed tight the whole way.She really did look paranoid.I sat there a moment longer, still watching the empty space where she’d been, before finally turning back to the plate in front of me. Whatever was going on with her, it wasn’t something I could figure out from a window. I picked up my fork again and kept eating, though the quiet unease settled a little deeper in my chest.When I finished, I slipped downstairs to the kitchen, where even the soft clink of my plate in the sink cut right through the quiet house. I rinsed everything quickly and left it in the
Daddies Taste Better CHAPTER 404: Fuck
By the time I stopped speaking, my lungs felt squeezed tight and my face was on fire. James watched me in stunned silence. His eyebrows pulled together, studying the mess I'd just made as he tried to piece together what had triggered me.Then he exhaled."I don't know what you're talking about," he said, his voice still quiet, and entirely too calm for how fast my heart was racing. "There hasn't been a single moment where I thought of you as a liability."I pulled back, searching his eyes for any sign of a lie. "What about the cabin?""Not even at the cabin," he answered without hesitation.That actually took me aback that I couldn’t find my words."And second of all," he continued, leaning in just enough that I couldn't look away, "this has nothing to do with Celeste. If I’ve been bringing her up too much lately… then I apologize.”Only then did my brain finally catch up, and my whole face went up in flames.Oh my God.How completely childish and ridiculous must I have sounded? Sta
Daddies Taste Better CHAPTER 403: There’s Someone—
I shook my head, my fingers tightening around the rim as I readjusted the basket on my hip.“Don't worry about it,” I muttered, staring down at the pile of linen. “It’s not like I’m doing any real work anyway. My whole role here is literally just to sort it, fold it, and deliver it. It’s nothing.”Lia studied me for a second longer, then nodded.“Okay.”And with a brief, practiced smile, she backed off, leaving me alone with my pile of clean linens. I stood there swallowing down the truth, suffocating under the quiet weight of everything I was too proud to put into words.Then I turned and headed back inside.An hour later, I was still caught in the dull routine of sorting and folding when I stepped outside with a fresh basket. That’s when I saw them.James was standing near the edge of the rose garden, speaking with Noah. Noah looked like he had just finished a stretch of work with dirt on his hands, a few stray leaves stuck to his shirt, and was resting against the low stone border
Daddies Taste Better CHAPTER 402: Straight To Celeste
And it was that exact thought that pushed me to make a move yesterday. I decided it was time to start going to my classes again.It was a practical decision, or at least that’s what I told myself. Good thing I hadn’t missed much. A few lectures at most which I could catch up on with some readings. I think being on campus, sitting in a room full of people who didn’t know anything about cabins or bounties or men with guns, might make me feel less like a ghost drifting through someone else’s house. At the very least, it would make me feel less lonely. Because that had to be the only fucking reason I kept noticing James the way I did.It was the only reason I cared about how his face changed around Celeste. The only reason the silence between us suddenly felt more than it should.Yeah, he was hot. Objectively. Tall, broad, that reserved way of moving that made everything around him feel significantly smaller. He’s handsome, have an annoyingly smooth voice, but that doesn’t matter beca
