Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 174: Trust Me One Last Time
MELANIE When the word “Yes” left his mouth, confirming that he had never been just a coach, I staggered back a step. My brows drew together in confusion as the pieces of the last several months tried—and failed—to rearrange themselves into something that made sense.If he had a full file on me… had he been investigating me from the beginning?I snapped my head up and met his troubled eyes. My hands had gone cold.“So this whole time you’ve been investigating me. For what purpose, I don't understand.”“Melanie,” he took a step forward, and I took a step back. The movement was instinctive, like my body refused to let him closer. He frowned when he noticed what I did, but he didn't dwell on it. “I promise to tell you everything after tomorrow.”I blinked hard, still trying to force the information into a shape I could accept. It wouldn’t fit.“I think I need to go.”“No.” He moved to the door, blocking the path without touching me. “You’re not leaving until you hear me out.”“Hear you o
Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 173: The Truth At Last
MELANIE I was in front of his house, parked and sitting in my car, still debating whether coming here was the right decision, when the sound of my ringtone filled the air.I glanced at the passenger seat, and Gavin’s name lit the screen.Gavin?My heart jumped. I almost reached for it too fast, then forced myself to take a slow breath, clear my throat, and answer like I hadn’t been sitting outside his door for the last ten minutes.“Hello?”“Melanie,” he breathed. “Thank you for picking up. I wasn’t sure you would.”I kept my tone flat. “What do you want, Gavin? Haven’t you done enough?”“Baby, I'm sorry.”A small, unwilling smile tugged at my mouth, but I refused to let it show in my voice. “What exactly are you sorry for?”“I'm sorry for making you feel like you are not important… Melanie, you are the most important person in my life, and I will not trade you for anyone.”“Including your wife?”There was a brief pause on the line. A frown marred my forehead.“Even Evelyn,” he final
Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 172: A Friend's Advice
MELANIE “Eva, I don't think you should be there tomorrow.” After my conversation with my father, I knew something felt off in a way I couldn't shake. The election was the next day, and it felt like something bad was going to happen. I kept feeling jittery; my palms kept sweating for no damn reason.Eva turned from the kitchen counter carrying a small plate of biscuits. She set it on the coffee table, picked one up, and sat beside me.“What do you mean I shouldn’t be there?” she asked, already biting into one of the biscuits. “Your dad might actually win, and you don’t want me around to celebrate with you guys?”I started shaking my head, but she kept going.“Anyway, Silvio asked me to be his plus-one.” She said it with a little spark of excitement she didn’t even try to hide.“Look.” I turned fully toward her and took one of her hands. “My dad told me something yesterday that made me—”“Melanie.” She squeezed my fingers. “Chill. Seriously. What on earth could happen at a victory par
Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 171: The Acting Boss
GAVIN“I cannot believe this.” Director Flint’s voice filled the conference room, the veins in his neck sticking out as he leaned forward over the table. “The election is tomorrow, and you’re telling me we still have nothing solid enough on Dalton to link him with the Rossi family and put them all away?”He had called every agent connected to Operation Black Ice into the room to make his displeasure clear. The timing couldn't be worse. Once Dalton took that senatorial seat, his political immunity would make future federal indictments nearly impossible.Dalton had been extremely careful these past weeks as if he knew somehow that he was being watched closely. Even Cassandra had come up with nothing. The case on Evelyn was at a standstill as nobody had heard or seen her and no evidence even pointed to her being alive except Melanie’s words, a wedding ring, and a locket left on two separate porches.Everything felt stalled.Flint kept on telling everyone how disappointed he was and how
Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 170: An Unforgiven Apology
MELANIEMy voice had risen. I forced it back down, holding myself in check so I wouldn’t start shouting where people might overhear.Dalton’s face tightened; he looked older under the outdoor lights.“I’m sorry for all of it,” he said quietly. “But especially for what I did to your mother. I was wrong, completely wrong.”I stared at him, waiting for the excuses I was used to hearing.“I told myself I was protecting you,” he continued. “That the drugs and the instability made her dangerous. That locking her away was the only way to keep you safe and keep my life from falling apart. But the truth is I was selfish. I chose my career and my image over her. Over both of you.”He exhaled hard and looked away for a second before meeting my eyes again.She didn’t deserve what I did to her,” he said, his voice breaking. Eleven years in that place… I can’t undo it. I know that. But I am sorry, Melanie. For taking your mother from you. For making you believe she didn’t want you. For every year y
Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 169: Which Lie Are You Sorry For?
MELANIEI stared at him like he had gone psycho. He gripped the handle of the door, preparing to bolt if I got physical, which I was already contemplating.“Are you fucking crazy?” I attacked him. “You lured me here? On purpose?”I snapped my head toward the stream of well-dressed guests heading into the hall, half-expecting to spot my father among them.“Take me back,” I insisted, resting against the seat. “Right now.”“Mel, come on. He just wants to see you and apologize—”“Did you suddenly go deaf too?” I hit the dashboard with my fist. “I said take me home.”“Melanie, you need to calm down, okay?” His hands tightened on the steering wheel. “Didn’t you promise to help me get back in my parents’ good graces?”I suddenly remembered my promise but shook my head aggressively. “We can do that another day. Definitely not now.” I folded my hands stubbornly and stared straight ahead, waiting for him to start the engine.“Well, this is you helping me,” he said softly after a long pause. “Y

MELANIEThe front door closed behind me with a soft thud that made me jump.God, why was it so quiet? My boot heels clicked too loudly on the marble floor as I stepped deeper into the living room. The warning bells in my head were loud now, the same sick little thrill I always got right before doi

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
Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 6: He Always Knew
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
Off-Limits Puck: Daddy's Best Friend is my Ruin Chapter 1: Locker Room Fantasies
MELANIEGavin had me pinned against the cold locker room wall, his big, calloused hand shoved up under my pink skirt, thick fingers shifting my panties, spreading my soaked folds.“Fuck, you’re dripping for me, Mel,” he growled in that deep, sexy voice, his light stubble scraping my neck as he thru
