Falling For My Dad's Best Friend Chapter 20: Signed and Trapped
Kiara's POV"I never said that." The words came out harsher than I intended. "And you should never refer to yourself that way.""Then why are you treating me like one?""I'm not treating you like anything. I'm simply ensuring that you maintain discipline while you're under my care.""Discipline." She laughed, the sound bitter. "Forgive me if I don't believe that, considering you've been judging me based on one mistake.""I'm introducing you to the consequences of your actions.""My actions." Her voice rose again. "My father told you I was a good girl, didn't he? And you're disappointed because I didn't meet your expectations. Because good girls don't go to clubs and kiss strangers."The mention of Jonathan's words twisted inside me."Your father did say you were a good girl. I didn't expect this kind of pushback from someone who...""Stop calling me that." She rolled her eyes at me. "I have never called myself a good girl, and I'll tell you what I told my father. I don't like that nam
Falling For My Dad's Best Friend Chapter 19: A Dangerous Negotiation
Zander's POVKiara Donovan’s name was at the top of the list.I scrolled down through the interview scores, then opened the assessment attached to her application. Highest overall ranking, excellent references, and a recommendation that left very little room for discussion.Jonathan had been right.I’d dismissed that as a father’s confidence in his daughter. Apparently, he’d known exactly what he was talking about.I rested my elbow on the desk and rubbed a hand over my mouth.One phone call would have removed her from consideration. I hadn’t made it. Whatever my reasons for wanting her elsewhere, taking an opportunity she’d earned would have been cruel, and Jonathan deserved better than a friend who punished his daughter for his own lack of restraint.So I’d left the process alone and hoped she wouldn’t qualify.She’d finished first.I shut the laptop harder than necessary.One reckless night didn’t make Kiara irresponsible. Maybe she'd just wanted to let loose for one night. It didn
Falling For My Dad's Best Friend Chapter 18: An Arrogant Ass
Kiara’s POVHis eyes moved to my mouth again before returning to mine, and he withdrew his hand from the table.“Your father trusts me to look after you.”I didn’t need the reminder, especially from a man who had already given us both a reason to feel guilty.“I know exactly who you are to my father.”“Then you should understand why there are boundaries.”I lowered my eyes to the folder long enough to stop myself from asking where those boundaries had been when he kissed me.When I looked up again, he was still watching me.“I understand boundaries, Mr. Creed. I just think everyone should be expected to respect them.”He drew his lower lip between his teeth for a moment, then sat back and glanced toward Ivy.I pulled my attention back to the pages, annoyed that I’d noticed. Even while I was angry with him, part of me wanted him to look at me again.Ivy looked from my face to his, her eyebrows drawing together as she slowly lowered her fork to her plate.“Guys.”I turned toward her, an
Falling For My Dad's Best Friend Chapter 17: Rules Under His Roof
Kiara's POVMy fingers stopped around the backrest, and I turned toward him.“Seven. I’m sorry. I fell asleep while I was resting.”His gaze moved briefly to the clock before returning to me. Neither he nor Ivy had food on their plates, and the serving dishes hadn’t been brought out yet.They had been waiting for me.“Dinner starts at seven, Kiara. Not a minute after.”“Dad.” Ivy lowered her phone, which she’d just picked up again. “She just moved in. Give her time to adjust.”His eyes narrowed as he turned toward her.“You didn’t let me finish.”I remained standing beside the chair while Ivy sat back, pressing her lips together.“I’ll let this go, just tonight.” His attention returned to me. “Every Friday, we have a compulsory family dinner at seven. I expect both of you to be here on time.”I tightened my grip on the chair, then loosened it before he could notice.I’d apologised. There was no need to keep me standing here while he explained how a clock worked.Dad had placed me unde
Falling For My Dad's Best Friend Chapter 16: He’s Right Next Door
Kiara's POV“Yes, with mine on the other side of his.”She gestured toward the wall as though this was perfectly reasonable information to give a person. “He insisted we have these rooms because he doesn’t want us sneaking out together without him knowing.”I turned fully toward her.“In a house this big, he chose the rooms on either side of his so he could hear us leave?”“That was the explanation I got.” She folded her arms and glanced into the hallway. “Apparently, if we want to go anywhere at night, we should be comfortable telling him where we’re going.”“And if we tell him?”“He gets to explain why we don’t need to go.”I looked past her at his closed bedroom door, struggling to understand how Dad had found a friend who took being overbearing even more seriously than he did.“So he doesn’t actually want us asking permission. He wants us staying home.”“Now you’re getting it.” Ivy lifted one shoulder. “He thinks putting himself between us will make it harder for us to encourage e
Falling For My Dad's Best Friend Chapter 15: Moving In
KIARA’S POV“Welcome to our home.”I stopped just inside the foyer, one hand wrapped around my suitcase handle while the other held the bag slipping off my shoulder.Zander Creed stood a few feet away in a white shirt with the sleeves rolled to his elbows, and the sight of him made me forget the greeting I’d prepared.The top two buttons were undone, exposing a little of his chest, but it was his mouth that held my attention longer than it should have.I remembered how it had felt against mine, and from the way his gaze settled on my lips before returning to my eyes, I wondered whether he was remembering, too.“Thank you.” I adjusted my bag and lifted my chin, determined not to let him catch me looking again.His attention followed the movement as the strap slipped down my arm. Before I could pull it back into place, he stepped forward and caught it, his fingers brushing the bare skin just below my shoulder.I went still as he lifted the strap back into place, suddenly far too aware o
Falling For My Dad's Best Friend Chapter 5 : The AfterMath Of My Actions
Kiara's POV I burst through the double doors, my bag bouncing against my hip as I raced down the hallway. My head was pounding. I woke up this morning with the worst hangover of my life. And now I was late to the one event I couldn't afford to miss. The event where my dad was hosting. The hallw
Falling For My Dad's Best Friend Chapter 4: I Want You To F*ck Me
Kiara's POVThe room was dim.Only a small lamp in the corner cast a soft glow across the space. The hotel suite was massive and expensive. Everything about it portrayed wealth and power.He carried me inside, his arms strong around me. I felt weightless against his chest, my head resting on his sh
Falling For My Dad's Best Friend Chapter 3: Going Back To The Hotel
Kiara's POVOh shit.I stood a few meters away from the club, phone pressed to my ear. Lisa's number went straight to voicemail. I tried Amy next. Same thing.Earlier, I'd searched everywhere inside the club. The dance floor, the bathrooms, even near the bar. Finally, I'd asked the bartender about
Falling For My Dad's Best Friend Chapter 2: I Didn't Offer myself To You
Kiara's POVMy heart pounded uncontrollably.The sexy man I'd kissed had cleared out the entire VIP section with just a wave of his fingers. I'd marveled at how much power he had, how everyone obeyed without question. And now we were all alone.This was Lisa's fault for daring me, but I couldn't le
