"I've seen the way you look at me, I know you want me..." Jackson said while I gasped hard for breathe. He was right, I crave every part of this man but I can't have him. He's not only twice my age, he's also Arlene’s dad. She's my best friend and she would never forgive me… The first time Laura saw Jackson was on her sixteenth birthday. She had gone out with friends, hoping to get over her boyfriend, who just broke up with her. The moment she saw Jackson, she fell in love with him and wanted every bit of him. He seemed to notice her keen perusal too but she was only sixteen, and they were only able to share a few sexy glances. Laura left that night but never forgot him, she didn’t even get his name but his face and aura was registered in her being. Standing before her three years later, the memory and feelings gushed back. She still wanted every bit of him and more but the problem is, he is her best friend's dad, and also twice her age. Their love was against all norms and if made public, would make them face a lot of ridicule and backlash. What will she do? Will she sacrifice everything for true love or will she cave and back down?

I sat silently in the backseat and slowly drifted into my thoughts.
It was my first time in California, and though it didn’t feel like it yet, I knew I would have such a great time. I’ve been here only two weeks and, so far, I’ve managed to make a friend. Arlene.
She’s a billionaire’s daughter just like myself, and we just happened to bump into each other on our first day in college.
We apologized at the same time and departed, but fate wasn’t done with us. We found each other in the same department, same class, same bench, and we just decided right there to be friends.
Arlene is not like me, she’s an extrovert, and my twin sister, Laurette, seems to think that’s what I need to get by in college - an extrovert who would show me the ropes…
“My birthday is this Saturday, and my dad is throwing me this huge party. I want you to come, you’re going to love it, I promise, please don’t say no…” Arlene had said to me in her tiny baby voice and puppy eyes. I hadn’t even given an answer, yet before she pulled me into a tight hug, thanking me for accepting her invite…
“Thanks…” I said to the driver while I got out of the car and he zoomed off.
Standing in front of Arlene’s house, I felt goosebumps all over my body. It was a huge mansion, just like my house back in Los Angeles. The architectural designs screamed luxury and every side that I turned to was exquisite.
It was a perfect work of art, and being a deep lover of art, I couldn’t wait to see what the inside looked like.
I opened the door and quickly closed it once I peeped in and saw the huge crowd in there. Arlene never mentioned there would be so many people and I didn’t think my anxiety couldn’t handle that.
“Laura!!! I’m so happy you came! I thought you canceled on me!” Arlene exclaimed when I finally found the courage to enter and she saw me.
I smiled as she dragged me in with her, she led me to a group of girls, briefly introduced us and left to attend to some others who had just arrived.
I’m not a fan of parties and I just don’t do well with strangers around me.
I took slow sips of my drink while I watched as the girls danced and had fun.
“Want to dance?” A guy asked from behind me, and I quickly turned to take a look.
He was handsome, average height, and smelled really nice, but just wasn’t my type.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t feel like dancing.” I let out slowly, took another sip and quickly walked away.
He looked like he wasn’t pleased with my response and I didn’t want to make things more awkward.
“Urghhhhh… finally some peace and quiet…” I heaved a deep sigh of relief as I brisked into the kitchen.
It was empty and quiet, just the way I like it.
I walked to the counter and refilled my glass, after which I started looking around, drowning myself in the neat culinary art that littered everywhere.
Out of nowhere, the door yanked open, and three guys walked in, looking so upset. I recognized only one of them, he was the one who asked me for a dance and got turned down.
“Why did you refuse to satisfy him, huh? You think you’re beneath him?” One of the other two asked, and their foolish audacity irked me to my belly.
“I wasn’t in the mood for a dance, I never knew it was my duty to satisfy a grown man.” I let out, but seeing as their faces quickly got fierce, I instantly realized I shouldn’t have talked back.
They both shared a knowing glance and then started to approach me. I wanted to run but two of them grabbed me, while the other one started sniffing my face.
He was reaching for my chest when the door opened again.
“Help me please!” I quickly screamed.
One of the guys rushed at the man at the door but was knocked down immediately. The other two quickly pushed me to the ground, and went to fight for their friend. They suffered the same fate and then ran away like the stupid fools that they are.
“Are you alright? Here, take my hand…” the man approached me and extended his hand to me.
I looked up and finally saw his face and, just like that, time slowed, and I stood still. He was the same man from four years ago, the one who captured my heart. My love at first sight!
I stumbled as I got up, and he quickly put a strong hand on my shoulder and steadied me, while I drowned in his heady perfume.
“I… I…”
“Laura!!” The door opened and Arlene came rushing in, smiling and blushing like she had just won a jackpot.
“I’ve been looking all over for you, thought you bounced on me…” she sounded excited.
“Ohh… I see you’ve met my dad.” She let out while my eyes got big as saucers.
“Your dad?” I exclaimed while she nodded and moved closer to hug him.
Seeing as she held him closely and passionately made me a bit uneasy. I was jealous. I envied her and I wished I was the one standing next to him, with his arms around my shoulder and my body pressing on his.
“Dad, this is my friend. Remember the girl I told you I met on the first day on campus? She’s the one. Her name is Laura, and I love her so much, she’s my best friend.” Arlene let out excitedly, and while I loved the fact that she called me her best friend, I just didn’t think I deserved the title, considering the thoughts I was having about her dad.
“And Laura, this is my dad. He’s Jackson, one of the youngest billionaires in the country, but he doesn’t like to show it… I do.” She let out, whispering the last part and making him giggle.
“It’s so nice to meet you Sir.” I quickly chimed in while the two shared a chuckle.
“It’s my pleasure, Laura. And call me Jackson. I’m not that old.” Jackson finally chimed in.
His voice was so soothing, husky in a sweet way and I think I fell in love all over again.
Never in a million years did I ever imagine that my longtime crush would turn out to be my best friend’s dad!
The first time I saw Jackson was on my sixteenth birthday, and he captured my heart instantly.
My boyfriend had just broken up with me because I wouldn’t sleep with him when we'd only been together three months. He dumped the news on me a few hours before my sixteenth birthday party, and my heart was so broken that I wanted to cancel the party.
Laurette and my friends wouldn’t let me. They dragged me to the bar and while they had all the fun, I sat in a corner, secretly moping the tears that flooded my eyes.
I was still wallowing in self-pity when this tall handsome man walked in. He had a lady on his arm, but that didn’t stop my eyes from feeding on him hungrily.
His aura was so strong and I just couldn’t resist him. He noticed me after a few calculated stares from me, but his eyes didn’t stay long on me.
As for me, my gaze never left his side. His high-end shirt did justice to his handsome face, nicely trimmed hair, chiseled chest which bulged against his shirt.
The lady he went in with, who I assumed was his girlfriend, was all over him and I envied her. I wished it was me standing next to him, but then, I was only sixteen, and I could tell he was in his forties. I was very young and completely inexperienced about love, there was no way he would go for someone that naive.
I left the bar that night, but I never forgot him. His face was ever registered in my head, and even after my boyfriend and I got back together, this strange man was still in my heart!
It’s been four years and I never thought I would see him again or that he would be my best friend’s dad. However, standing in front of him again, I wasn’t sure if it was still love, but something in me awakened. An urge, a craving… call it whatever, but I yearned for every bit of this man!
“I’m sorry, but I’m going to need my bestie now!” Arlene retorted, interrupting my thoughts as she dragged me back to the party.
A guy was waiting for us, and he quickly stood up once we were standing in front of him. He was wearing a big smile and I could tell what was about to happen.
“Laura, this is my friend, Andrew, he likes you and wants to get to know you better. Andrew, this is Laura, she’s my best friend, so I won’t take any BS from you, huh?” Arlene let out excitedly before leaving the two of us to it.
Andrew seemed nice and good-looking, but he just wasn’t my type, or maybe my heart wasn’t ready for anyone that wasn’t my Jackson.
Andrew and I got on the dancefloor and everything was going well until he started getting too handsy. He was all up in my face, pressing my body to his, and trying to touch me.
“What’s wrong?” He asked when I finally pulled away from him.
“Nothing, I just need to use the restroom, I’ll be back in a jiffy.” I replied and then walked away without waiting for a response.
I was lying. I just needed an excuse to get away from his irritating attitude.
I made my way upstairs, checking the rooms one after the other, trying to find Arlene’s room, so I could hide in there till the party ended.
I was still at this when I noticed a room. The door was slightly opened, and I peeped inside out of curiosity. There was fantastic art in the corner, which further piqued my interest.
I went in and, seeing the arrangement, I could tell it was Jackson’s room. I quickly went to the corner and got a good look at the art, which was really nice.
I was about to leave when the water started running in the bathroom. For a split second, I got scared and contemplated whether to run or take a look.
I decided to take a quick peep. I opened the door slightly and there was Jackson. Naked under the shower in his full glory!
He was having a great time, lathering his body while the water poured over him in the sexiest way. I was so impressed with what I saw, and it made me weak to the bones.
I was so lost in my imagination and mistakenly made a sound with the door.
That was my cue to leave if I didn’t want to get caught.
I quickly backed away, and ran out of the room…
JacksonThe day went by so slowly. I sat through meetings, stared at reports, and nodded along to conversations I barely registered. Because the whole time, my mind wasn’t there, it was with her. Laura.I had broken her heart last night, and it was killing me. I could still see the look on her face when I told her it was a mistake. The way her shoulders tensed, her lips parted slightly in shock, her eyes searching mine for some sign that I didn’t mean it. That I wasn’t rejecting her.But I had. And I hated myself for it.I knew she was hurting. No matter how strong she tried to act, I knew. And the thought of her suffering alone, maybe crying herself to sleep because of me, was unbearable.I had decided to let her be, atleast till she heals but I just couldn’t take it anymore. I have to check on her. Just a brief visit… just to see how she was handling it.But I couldn’t just show up at her door after cruelly shattering her heart. That would be cruel, and she would even demand an expl
Laura“What the hell are you doing in my kitchen, Andrew?” I asked again as I groaned and pressed my fingers against my temples, trying to steady the throbbing in my head. Every beat felt like a hammer against my skull, a painful reminder of my terrible decision last night. The nausea had subsided a little, but I still felt weak. Seeing the surprised look on his face, I realized I must have been too harsh so I dialed back my tone. He was standing across from me, arms crossed, watching me with a blank expression. "Okay," I muttered, clearing my dry throat. "Seriously, Andrew… what are you doing here?" He raised an eyebrow. "You don’t remember?" He asked while I frowned."Remember what?" I asked too.Andrew then exhaled through his nose, shaking his head like he couldn’t believe me. "I called you last night. Multiple times." I blinked. "You did?" I asked while I did a quick recollection, but I couldn’t remember a thing. My head was completely blank. All I remember was drinking t
Laura“Oh my goodness…” I muttered under my breathe as I struggled to open my eyes. It was like they were literally glued and I had to force them open. Slowly I managed to open them and that was when it started. The pounding in my head was unbearable. A dull, merciless throbbing pulsed behind my eyes, making every little movement feel like torture. My throat was dry, my body stiff, and when I tried to sit up, my stomach churned violently.“What’s happening to me?” I let out slowly while still trying to figure out while it felt like I was going through seven rounds of pain.I groaned, blinking against the harsh morning light streaming through the windows. That’s when I saw it.The empty vodka bottle lay on its side next to me, its contents spilled across the floor. Shards of broken glass glistened in the mess, and I realized, with a sinking feeling, that I must have knocked over a glass at some point. The evidence was everywhere… sticky liquid, shattered pieces, my disheveled self lyin
LauraSleep was a luxury that refused to find me. My body felt heavy, yet my mind raced endlessly, replaying every moment with Jackson, every glance, every touch, and ultimately, the painful words he’d spoken when he walked away.I reached for my phone and dialed my twin sister, Laurette. She always knew how to ground me when I felt lost. The phone rang... once, twice, and then straight to voicemail. I tried again, hoping she'd pick up. No luck."Hey, it's me," I whispered into the phone after the beep. "I just... I need you right now. Call me when you can."I ended the call, feeling more alone than ever.I lay in bed, eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling. The silence of the room was deafening, filled with thoughts I couldn’t quiet. For what felt like an eternity, I just lay there, blank, unable to cry, unable to feel anything but this hollow ache in my chest.After what must have been an hour, I gave up on sleep and dragged myself to the living room. I turned on the TV and mindless
Jackson The room felt suffocating the moment Laura emerged from the bathroom, her skin glowing and damp from the steam. My heart clenched at the sight of her, but guilt gripped me tighter than desire. I had crossed a line, one I should never have even approached. The echoes of our shared passion lingered in the air, but beneath that was the weight of what I’d done. She was young, vibrant, and full of life. I was twice her age, burdened with experience and regrets. What I had allowed to happen between us wasn’t just wrong in the eyes of others… it was wrong in mine too. I couldn’t shake the image of Arlene, her laughter, her trust in me as her father. And Laura, her best friend. What would happen if the truth ever surfaced? The betrayal, the hurt… it would be irreversible. I’d not only destroy my daughter’s trust but ruin Laura’s reputation and innocence in the process. The world wouldn’t be kind to her. People would whisper, judge, and brand her with ugly names. They would say s
LauraI lay there, completely spent, tangled in the sheets that still carried his scent. I probably wouldn’t be washing the sheets anytime soon as I’m not sure when or if I’d ever be getting another chance with him. Until that happens or not, I’d be using the sheets as an alternative. Those scents are enough to make me come hard. My body hummed with satisfaction, and I couldn’t help but let a sly smile stretch across my lips.I turned to face him, tracing my fingers along his strong jawline. “You’re incredible, you know that? That was so intense, and I enjoyed every moment.” I muttered to him, while beaming with smiles.Jackson’s gaze softened, but there was something distant in his eyes. He gave me a faint smile and leaned in to kiss my forehead. “You should clean up. I’ll join you soon.” He chimed in, his tone quiet, almost hesitant.“Alrighty, I’ll be waiting for you, and who knows, I might just be free for a second round.” I retorted, seductively winking at him but he had a blank
LauraThe moment I saw that look of surrender in Jackson’s eyes, I was ready to throw myself over him and let him make passionate love to me, in a rough manner.I dipped my tongue down his throat and though he was reluctant at first, I didn’t stop until he gave in and we were soon kissing desperately like our lives depended on it. It was as if I would never get another chance to be intimate with him… maybe I wouldn’t and I wasn’t ready to waste this one opportunity. "You taste really sweet," I muttered in his ear, while he moaned."You too." He muttered too and then slid his hands over my a*s, gripped my cheeks tight, and spun me around, pushing me up against the bed.I let out a soft moan into his mouth, while he suddenly pulled his lips away. I couldn't let him take any break at that moment so I quickly pushed myself back in but he held me back."Are you sure you want this?" He asked while I rolled my eyes out of frustration. How could he be asking me this when he can see how much
LauraI stormed into my room, still fuming. Jackson infuriated me. The way he teased, the arrogant way he smirked like he knew exactly how much power he had over me… it made my blood boil. He was so damn sure of himself, so cocky, and the worst part? He wasn’t wrong. He did have power over me. And I hated it. And to think he actually left me in the middle of nowhere and drove off. What if I had no means to get home? I would have been stranded there and left to die. How can someone be so heartless?All through the ride home, I kept thinking about it, how I had stood there and waited for him to come back but he never did. Twenty minutes passed before I realized I had been abandoned, and I had to walk a bit before I could order for a ride. Getting home, I couldn’t do anything. I was boiling with rage. After walking aimlessly around the house a couple of times, and was still boiling with anger, I knew I had to distract myself.I needed to let off steam before I exploded, so I grabbed
JacksonThe day had dragged on longer than I would’ve liked. No matter what I did, my mind kept slipping. Losing focus. I was in the middle of a meeting with my senior managers, nodding along as someone discussed the company’s quarterly projections, but I wasn’t hearing a damn thing. Instead, all I could think about was Laura. Her pissed-off face when she asked me to stop the car, and then stepped out. The way her lips had parted, eyes blazing as she told me to go to hell before turning on her heels and walking away. The way I’d let her.I clenched my jaw. I could see through her, I knew she was playing games, trying to get back power on me which was why I did what I did. I wanted her to know that her plans were nothing but childish. But that was so wrong on all levels. I should have gone after her. Even if I was so mad at her, I should have made sure she got home safe instead of letting my own damn pride get in the way. To think I had just promised Arlene to look after her j
