GAVIN

The next morning, I was still replaying everything Silvio had said. My head was a mess. I hadn’t slept much, and the little sleep I did get was filled with nightmares of Melanie walking away from me forever.

I pulled out of my driveway and headed toward the office. Joe was already waiting at our usual spot. He slid into the passenger seat with his usual grin, the strong smell of his black coffee filling the car.

“Morning, boss. You look like shit. Rough night?”

“You have no idea,” I mutte

  • Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin   Chapter 149: The Mother's Plea

    GAVINI sat behind my desk with the case file open in front of me, but the words on the page barely registered. Sarah stood on the other side of the desk, with her arms behind her back, waiting. I closed the file and looked up at her.“You crossed a line yesterday,” I said to her, my voice firm. “Threatening me was a mistake, a huge mistake on your part. I'm letting you remain on this case, not because of your threats, but because I don't want to complicate things.” She looked relieved as she let out a loud breath. “But don't expect things to stay the same between us after that.”Her jaw tightened. “I wasn’t trying to threaten you for fun, Agent Thorne. I was only trying to stop you from throwing away years of work. Your recent choices—especially the ones involving Melanie Wealth—are going to destroy everything you’ve built if someone finds out.”“That’s my problem to handle.”“No. It’s not just yours.” She stepped closer to the desk. “I’ve watched you change. You’re distracted. You’

  • Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin   Chapter 148: Another Boyfriend?

    MELANIE “Melanie, are you sure you don’t want to think this through?” my mother asked again as I looked around the small one-bedroom apartment she had been living in since her release.It was tiny. The living area had two plastic chairs and a small table, and the dining space was barely there.“Uhm…” I breathed in, already mentally picturing how I could transform this place to look habitable. “Mel, stop looking around and listen to me.”I dropped my shoulders and turned to face her. “What is it, Mom? I’ve already made up my mind. I’m not going back to that house.”She shook her head. “You shouldn’t make decisions this fast. You need to think carefully.”“Oh, God.” I rubbed my forehead. “Can we please give it a rest?”“I can't do that, and you know why.” Her voice was gentle but more firm. “I’m the reason you’re here with half the room filled with your bags.” She shook her head, looking past me at the stack of six massive designer suitcases lined up against her tiny wardrobe. It was

  • Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin   Chapter 147: Eleven Years of Lies.

    MELANIE We pulled up in front of the house. I parked and got out, but my mother stayed in the passenger seat, staring at the building through the windshield.“Mom?” I leaned down to look at her. “Are you alright?”She turned her head slowly and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. After a moment she nodded and opened the door. I walked around the car and took her hands. They were cold. I was a little worried that this move might be too soon and too much for her. “Are you sure you’re ready for this?”She didn't answer immediately; she just looked away, staring at the house. I could only imagine how strange it felt to stand here again after so many years.“I’m ready,” she said finally.I nodded and kept hold of her hand as we walked up the steps and inside. In the foyer she stopped and looked around. “It’s still the same,” she murmured.She was right. Nothing much had changed all these years. Maybe just a few fresh coats of paint and other minor renovations, but the house remai

  • Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin   Chapter 146: Desperate Measures

    GAVIN My blood was still boiling thirty minutes after Melanie and her mother left. I paced the living room, trying to keep the rage from exploding. I had managed to hold it in while they were here, but now that the house was empty, the anger had nowhere to go.What the hell was wrong with Sarah? What exactly had she been thinking?“Fuck!” I screamed into the empty room.My ringtone filled the air again, and my fingers went to the decline icon, without even looking at the screen. I already knew who it was. A few minutes later the doorbell rang. I stared at the door for a second, jaw tight, then crossed the room and pulled it open.Sarah stood on the other side. Of course it was her. She had some nerve showing up here.“What are you doing here?” I asked, trying to keep my anger in check.She didn’t answer right away. The look on her face said she already knew how bad this was.“I said, what are you doing here?” I repeated, louder this time. Sarah flinched, but she didn't step back. T

  • Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin   Chapter 145: Take Me to Dalton

    MELANIE I kissed him like this was our first time, and I couldn't get enough. His hands tightened on my waist as I deepened the kiss, pouring everything I had been holding back into the moment. I would have kept going without thinking about anything else if Gavin hadn’t suddenly remembered we weren’t alone.He pulled back first, breaking the kiss with a ragged breath. His chest heaved against mine, his hazel eyes dark and heavy with a lust that made my knees weak. I could only imagine what he would have done if my mother hadn’t been standing five feet away. God, part of me wished she wasn't.“Melanie, what on earth is going on?” My mother’s voice came from behind me, quiet and stunned, like she was still processing the fact that her daughter had just kissed a man old enough to be her father.I closed my eyes for a few seconds, then turned to face her. “Can we talk about this after we leave?”She shook her head, her forehead wrinkling. “Is your father aware of this?”“Of course not.”

    MELANIE “No!” The word came out sharp and angry from my mouth. “We are not involved.”Gavin snapped his head towards me, narrowing his eyes at me. “But…” My mother walked further into the room, shaking her head. “I didn’t really hear what the shouting was about, but the way you two were looking at each other—”I didn't wait for her to finish. I spun around, grabbed my bag from the couch, and turned back to her without glancing at Gavin. “You have shown your appreciation, right? Can we go now?”“Melanie.” She sounded shocked. “When did you become this rude? This is a man who selflessly—”“Selflessly.” I let out a bitter laugh. “That’s a new one.”“Mel!” Her voice rose.“Mrs. Wealth,” Gavin stepped in to calm the situation. “It’s fine.”“No, it's not.” She looked angrily at me, but I ignored her, looking away, with my arms folded across my chest. “I know I haven’t been in your life for a very long time,” she continued, softer now, “but I didn’t expect you to turn out this way.”I rais

    MELANIEThe kiss wasn’t gentle or sweet. It was desperate. I grabbed the front of his shirt with both hands and pressed my lips hard against his, pouring everything I had been hiding for years into it.Gavin froze. His hands came up to my shoulders like he wanted to push me away.“Melanie, shit… st

    MELANIE“You…” My voice cracked, but I forced it to remain steady as I lifted the journal. “You had this the whole time? You’ve been reading my most private, pathetic thoughts about you for years?”Gavin swallowed hard. His jaw clenched tight. Those hazel eyes I used to get lost in were now dark wi

    MELANIEMy legs went weak, and I almost fell to the ground. I quickly grabbed the edge of the couch to steady myself. Gavin had a fiancée? Like an actual woman, he planned to marry?And last night... last night I had begged him to fuck me. I came so hard on his cock while he filled me up, stupidly

    MELANIE“Fuck!” Gavin swore under his breath. I sat up fast, the sheet slipping down to my waist, exposing my bare breasts. My heart pounded against my ribs as he put a finger to his lips, mouthing “Shh,” and answered the call on speaker.“Dalton,” Gavin said, voice still rough from fucking me.“H
