Celine's POV

I'm out with Ana and some of her friends from work. We're at a new club in Manhattan, and somehow we've just been invited by someone famous, a footballer I think to join him and his friends in the VIP section. I'm three shots in, the alcohol warming my veins, but even with the music vibrating through the room, all I can think about is Alex.

So many things have gone wrong since I started... wanting him. First my big mouth casually mentioned a sex club. Then I was basically naked in his sauna and he walked in on me. Then when I went to apologize, he was taking a shower with the door to the gym bathroom wide open and instead of leaving like a normal person, I just... stood there. Watching him. Okay, not for long, but still. And it's not even my fault he said my name, and what he was doing was scandalous. He was touching himself and calling out my name.

But that's not the point.

The point is, I just hope he doesn't think I'm some freak and fire me.

  • Forbidden Nanny: Temptation at Home   CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

    Alex's POVCeline's father showing up felt like a cold splash of reality I hadn't seen coming.It reminded me, brutally that I shouldn't be doing this. That I had no business letting things go as far as they had with her.She's twenty-five.Ten years younger than me.She was born in the 2000s, for God's sake. When I was buried in textbooks, pulling all-nighters, she was still a kid. No matter how composed she is, how sharp, how self-possessed there is no arguing with time.And then there was her father.Listening to him talk about her made my skin crawl in the worst way. He spoke about her like she was still his little girl, his princess. He laughed about old nicknames, childhood habits, the way she used to sulk when she didn't get her way. Meanwhile, all I could think about was how I'd had her in my arms hours earlier. How her mouth had been on mine. How I knew the sound she made when she relaxed completely.The disconnect made me feel sick.I needed out of the house.I took the fir

  • Forbidden Nanny: Temptation at Home   CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

    Celine's POVThe sleep last night was scarce, the sex was alot, and I have no regrets. I needed that. It was easily the best sex of my life.I’m awakened by a soft but insistent beeping.For a moment, I don’t know where I am. Then I feel Alex beside me, warm and solid, my body tucked into his chest like it belongs there. The sound comes again sharp, electronic.Alex stirs. He presses a kiss to my forehead before carefully slipping out of bed, moving slowly so he doesn’t fully wake me.The sound is coming from the security monitor on his bedroom wall.He turns it on. The screen flickers to life, showing the front gate of the brownstone estate. Someone is standing there.“Who is it?” I ask, my voice thick with sleep. Last night lingers in my body, heavy and warm.“I don’t know,” Alex says, studying the screen.“The security team will handle it,” he adds calmly, turning the monitor off. He comes back to bed, pulling me into him again like nothing happened. His lips brush mine, gentle and

  • Forbidden Nanny: Temptation at Home   CHAPTER TWENTY

    Celine's POVWe spend hours talking after that sometimes about our parents, sometimes about nothing at all. The TV hums in the background, mostly ignored. At some point, the heaviness fades, replaced by something quieter, steadier.“I just want to forget tonight,” I admit softly. “Be somewhere other than my own head.”Alex nods, setting his glass aside. He leans closer, his forehead brushing mine.“Then let’s forget,” he murmurs. “Just for tonight. Let’s be in our own world.”He kisses me then slow, deliberate, grounding.He walked right into that one, so I don't have any remorse when I grab his hand and slip it between my legs under my dress, I had my underwear off like I knew this was going to happen. Like he can't help himself, he cups me between my legs with so much intimacy that I gasp. I take his lips fast. His groan lands on my tongue, and he devours me with so much intensity. His kid is fast and hard. My legs go weak and a pulse beating in my core, making me breathless. The

  • Forbidden Nanny: Temptation at Home   CHAPTER NINETEEN

    Celine's POVI’m on an all-time emotional high. I don’t think I’ve ever felt this way about any man and I’ve dated enough to know the difference. But Alex does something to me that I can’t explain. I can’t stop smiling, no matter how hard I try.He left with Jack almost an hour ago for the baseball game, and I’m getting ready to go out with Anna. Alex said it was fine to use the cars and drivers whenever I needed, so Matthew takes me to pick her up.Anna is already outside when we arrive, standing with Tara. They’re mid-argument, voices low but hands animated, and they barely pause before getting into the car and greeting the driver.“What’s going on?” I ask once we pull away.“Tara thinks Andrew might be cheating,” Anna says, exasperated.I glance at Tara, who just shrugs.“And why is that?” I ask.“He’s being cagey,” Anna continues. “Always busy, always on his phone, texting someone. When I ask, he says it’s work.”“Honestly, I just don’t trust men,” Tara cuts in. “I told her to che

  • Forbidden Nanny: Temptation at Home   CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

    Alex's POVAfter I left Celine's room last night, I fell asleep almost instantly. I was turned on and walking with a hard on but she was barely keeping her eyes open, so I didn't push things further. I let her sleep. We had tomorrow. We had the weekend. And for once, that felt like enough.I wake up early the next morning and instinctively check Jack's room first. He's still sound asleep, sprawled across his bed. Celine must be asleep too I don't hear a sound from her room.Downstairs, Lawrence is already here."Good morning, sir," he greets me warmly. "May I make you anything?""Good morning, Lawrence," I reply. "After I work out."He nods, already knowing my routine.I head down to the gym and throw myself into a brutal workout, pushing harder than usual. I need it, need the burn, the exhaustion, something to quiet the restless energy under my skin. An hour later, drenched and spent, I finally head upstairs.That's when I find them.Jack, Celine, and Lawrence are all in the kitchen.

  • Forbidden Nanny: Temptation at Home   CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

    Celine's POVAs soon as Alex joins me on the couch, we hear Jack's voice drift down from upstairs, calling out for his dad. Alex lets out a quiet breath and gives me an apologetic look."I'm sorry," he says, already standing."It's okay," I smile, and I mean it.I follow him upstairs anyway. Jack is sitting up in bed, rubbing his eyes, asking to call his mom to say goodnight. Alex listens patiently, kneeling beside him, voice soft and steady as he helps him make the call. When Alex glances back at me, there's apology in his eyes but I just smile again. I love this part of him. The way he shows up. The way his whole world narrows when it comes to his son.I give them space and head back to my room. I slip into bed fully intending to wait for Alex, my heart still buzzing from the way his hand brushed mine earlier.But the day catches up to me.I fall asleep almost instantly.A soft knock pulls me back to consciousness sometime later."Celine?""It's open," I murmur, my voice still heavy
