LUCA’S POV

The silence was eating at me, slow and steady.

These past days, June had put up some kind of barrier I could not see but felt every time I breathed. She would vanish from a room the second I walked in, or she would answer me with quick, careful words, always looking past my shoulder like eye contact might shatter her. She was there all the time, moving through the house, but unreachable. Like trying to hold smoke.

What was going on with her? Was it because of the kiss? That did not add up. The kiss in the kitchen had felt real. More real than anything else between us ever had. We had both wanted it, needed it even.

So why treat me like I had forced something on her? Did Franklin say something? Adrian? My head kept spinning through worse and worse ideas. The uncertainty sat heavy in my stomach, twisting a little tighter every hour.

I watched her anyway. I could not help it. She moved like someone carrying too much weight, polite and distant. A quiet “could you hand me the sa

    JUNE'S POVHe traced slow circles at first, teasing the edges, then pushed three fingers deep in one smooth motion. The fullness stretched me perfectly, almost overwhelming, his palm pressing firm as he curled them forward, rubbing that spot inside that made my knees weaken. I bit down on his shoulder again, fabric muffling me, breathing in the thick scent of sex still clinging to his skin."You're soaked through," he murmured against my ear, voice rough. "Still carrying me inside you and you want more already. You love knowing he could open that door and see exactly how wet you get for me, how your body opens only for this."I nodded, frantic, grinding down onto his hand. The sounds were quiet but filthy, rhythmic and wet in the stillness. My own scent filled the air now, sharp and undeniable, blending with his.He eased off suddenly, pulling back until only the tips remained, holding there. I whined softly, trying to take more, but his other hand kept my hip still."Tell me," he sai

  • In Love With My Son's Best Friend   0063: DOUBLE OR NOTHING IN THE DRIVEWAY

    JUNE’S POVHe pushed into me slowly, that one long glide that filled me completely, his thickness stretching me wide until my breath caught and shattered against the curve of his shoulder. I sank my teeth into his shirt, hard enough to feel the muscle beneath, holding back the sound that wanted to rip out of my throat.Cotton and the faint salt of his skin filled my mouth, grounding me even as everything else spun. He did not pause, did not give me time to adjust. He simply drew back and drove in again, deeper, starting a rhythm that felt relentless, the car shifting under us with each motion, the hood warming against my back. My skin stuck slightly to the metal where sweat had already gathered.Outside, the world went on like nothing was happening. A lawnmower hummed steadily somewhere down the street, and children’s laughter drifted in faint waves. But here, in this dim garage, everything narrowed to the heat where our bodies met, the slick slide when he pulled out, the soft, wet so

  • In Love With My Son's Best Friend   0062: BENDING THE RULES

    JUNE'S POVWe parked at the store. My legs felt unsteady when I stood. "Need to clean up," I murmured, my voice rough. He followed me without a word, through the busy aisles to the family restroom at the back. Single door, locked. The bolt clicked shut. And then I couldn't wait anymore.I pushed him back against the sink, hands fisting his shirt, kissing him hard, tasting coffee and the faint salt of myself on his tongue. He made a low sound, hands grabbing my ass to hoist me onto the counter. Bottles clattered to the floor, soap spilling sharp and clean in the air. My skirt rode up around my waist. I didn't care.My fingers shook as I undid his belt, pulled him free. He was hard and hot in my hand, the skin smooth over that rigid length, already slick at the tip. I stroked him once, slow, spreading the wetness down, feeling him pulse under my palm."June," he said, warning in his voice, strained."I need you inside me," I whispered against his lips. "Need to feel you open me up, all

  • In Love With My Son's Best Friend   0061: ONE HAND DRIVING

    JUNE’S POVThe words I had overheard through that cracked office door did not just wound me. They burned away every last bit of restraint I had been holding onto, like something inside me finally snapped free. Karen. Another number. Give me until the weekend.I had been carrying my own mistake like this heavy thing right under my ribs for days, convinced I was the one who had shattered whatever was left of us. But Franklin had been splitting himself in two long before Luca ever kissed me, before I let it happen.I still remember how he cried and pleaded, begging to be given another chance and how he promised to fire Karen the next day but all of it was a lie.All that guilt I had been nursing did not fade away bit by bit. It just vanished, gone in a heartbeat, and what rushed in was this raw, urgent hunger, the kind that felt like surfacing after holding my breath for years.I stopped sleeping in the guest room to punish myself. Now I chose it because I needed space from him, from Fra

  • In Love With My Son's Best Friend   0060: ACCIDENTAL INTERCEPTION

    LUCA'S POVThe next few days settled into a new, brittle rhythm. Franklin left early for work, a permanent crease of distracted irritation between his brows. June moved through the house with a purposeful quiet, sleeping in the blue room, speaking to Franklin only when it was necessary. Their conversations were logistical, a co-parenting dialogue about bills or schedules. The chill between them was a physical presence, a third occupant in every room.Adrian felt it. He’d give me these sidelong looks over breakfast, his brow furrowed. “You think they’re okay?” he’d mutter under the sound of the morning news. “They’re just… weird.”“Parents are weird, man,” I’d shrug, my voice carefully light. “They have their own stuff.” It was the truest lie I’d ever told him.June and I existed in a series of charged, mundane moments. A shared glance as we both reached for the same coffee mug in the morning. Her asking, “Will you be home for dinner?” as I headed out the door, a question that was a co

  • In Love With My Son's Best Friend   0059: TONGUE TWISTER

    LUCA’S POVI crossed the few steps to the bed quietly and knelt down beside her. Close now. Close enough to catch her scent, that warm mix of her skin and the faint strawberry from her shampoo. Close enough to see her fingers gripping the edge of the quilt, knuckles tight."Hey," I whispered, so soft it was almost nothing.She exhaled a shaky breath and turned toward me. Her eyes were open, catching the dim light, glistening a bit. No shock there. Just something like relief washing over her face. Or maybe need."I couldn't stay away," I said. It sounded simple, maybe even dumb, but it was all I had."I know," she murmured, her voice rough, like she hadn't slept either. "I was hoping you wouldn't."I reached out and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. She leaned into my touch right away, pressing her cheek against my palm. That small thing hit me hard, like she'd been holding out for it.I leaned in closer, lips near her ear. "I'm not taking you tonight. Not like that."She w
