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’

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

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

MELANIEMy hands shook so badly I could barely hold my bag as I tore it open and gripped my phone, blood staining everything I touched. I dialed my father first, tears running down my face, blurring my vision. It rang twice before he picked up.“Dad,” I sobbed the second he answered. “Some… some

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

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

GAVINThe talk with Cassandra had gone to hell.I can't tell when we lost the ability to sit down and have adult conversations. There used to be a time when we could be cordial, even loving. Now every conversation felt like walking through a battlefield. And I knew exactly when it all changed.The
