Falling for My Dad's Best Friend Chapter 27
I woke up to the smell of coffee and sunlight filtering through the curtains. Lucien was already dressed. He sat in the armchair beside the window, wearing dark trousers and a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up. A cup of coffee rested in his hand, and his eyes were fixed on me. "How long have you been awake?" "A while." I narrowed my eyes. "That's creepy." He chuckled softly. "Perhaps." I stretched beneath the sheets, then immediately regretted it when I felt the soreness in my body. My cheeks warmed as memories of the previous night came rushing back. "What time is it?" "Nine." "On a Saturday? That's practically a crime." "Agreed." He placed his coffee on the small table and walked over, settling on the edge of the bed. "I've been thinking about something." I glanced at him. "Should I be worried?" "About what you said last night." My expression softened slightly. "Which part?" "Your request for me to teach you." My stomach fluttered. I hadn't expected him to brin

The bedroom was dim, lit only by the lamp on the nightstand. He closed the door, and the click of it felt final. Like the world outside had been shut out. I sat on the edge of the bed. He stayed standing. "Lucien?" He was looking at me. Not the way he usually did. There was something raw in it. Something almost angry. "I've been trying to get you out of my head," he said. The room felt very quiet. "Nothing works," he said. "You're the only thing in my head, Bella. The only thing." I opened my mouth. He didn't let me finish. He crossed the room, took my face in his hands, and kissed me. It wasn't gentle. It wasn't careful. It was the kiss of a man who'd run out of patience — hands in my hair, pulling me into him, backing me against the headboard until I had nowhere to go. I made a sound against his mouth and he swallowed it. "I hate how much I want you," he murmured against my lips. "You don't hate it." "No." He kissed along my jaw. "But I should." His hands slid down my

The lie came out easier than it should have."Violet called," I said, standing in the kitchen doorway with my phone in my hand. "She wants me to stay with her this weekend. Kind of a girls' thing."My mother looked up from the tea she was making. My father looked up from the newspaper."Violet?" my mother repeated. "Violet Marsh?""Yeah."There was a pause."I thought you two weren't speaking," my father said. "Didn't she—" He stopped, glancing at my mother. "You know. That thing."The thing.The thing was two years ago. Violet and I had been best friends since we were twelve. Then, the summer before my senior year of high school, she'd done something that ended it. She'd told everyone something I'd trusted her with. Something private. Something that spread through the whole school before I even knew it had happened.I hadn't spoken to her since."We ran into each other a few weeks ago," I said. "At a coffee shop. She apologized. We've been talking a little since."My mother frowned.

My mother came home four days later.The house felt different when she walked through the door — quieter, softer, like everyone was holding their breath. My father hovered. I hovered. Even the dog hovered, following her from room to room like he was afraid she'd disappear.She tolerated it for about two days. Then she told us all to sit down and stop treating her like glass."I'm fine," she said. "The doctors said I'm fine. If one more person asks me if I need a blanket, I'm going to scream."My father put down the blanket he'd been holding."Sorry.""Thank you."---Lucien kept his distance that week.Not completely — he texted every day, checked in, asked about my mother. But he didn't come to the house. He didn't ask me to come over. He just... waited.I understood why. After what he'd said in the penthouse — I'm tired of lying — this wasn't the moment to push. My mother had just come home from the hospital. My father was still shaken. The last thing any of us needed was more drama

The drive to the hospital was silent.Lucien kept both hands on the wheel and his eyes on the road, but every few minutes he glanced at me. I stared out the window and didn't say anything. I couldn't.My mother was in the hospital.My mother, who had been standing in the kitchen two days ago, calm as anything, telling me to figure it out carefully. My mother, who knew something was wrong and hadn't pushed.The car pulled into the hospital lot and Lucien found a space near the entrance. He turned off the engine."Bella."I looked at him."Whatever happens in there," he said, "I'm right outside. I'm not going anywhere."I nodded. Then I got out of the car.My father was in the waiting room. He looked smaller than I'd ever seen him — sitting on the edge of a plastic chair, elbows on his knees, staring at the floor."Dad."He looked up. Then he stood and pulled me into his arms."She's okay," he said against my hair. "She's okay. They think it's her heart. Something with the rhythm. They'
