The eighth morning without normalcy arrived under a thin veil of sunlight that did nothing to ease the ache in the house. Amina’s car still sat empty in the driveway when I peeked through the curtains. She had come home late last night — we’d heard the door around 1 a.m. — but she’d gone straight to her room without a word.

Elias was already awake, his body spooned tightly behind mine, one arm locked around my waist and the other hand resting possessively between my thighs. His fingers lazily s

  • Offlimits Desire: My Best friend's Daddy    Excerpt

    The house was supposed to be empty.Lila was on a thirty-six-hour call shift, and I had only come by to drop off the lasagna I’d made for them. But Marcus was there — shirtless in the kitchen after a workout, sweat still glistening on his broad chest and carved abs. His gray sweatpants hung low on his hips, leaving nothing to the imagination.“Elena,” he said, voice low and rough when he saw me standing in the doorway. His eyes darkened as they dragged over my sundress. “You shouldn’t be here right now.”I knew I should leave. Instead, I set the dish on the counter and stepped closer.“I can’t stop thinking about you,” I whispered, the confession spilling out like a sin I was tired of hiding. “Every time I see you with her… every time you call her your wife… I get so fucking wet it hurts.”Marcus’s jaw clenched. In two strides he had me pinned against the fridge, one thick thigh pushing between my legs as his big hand wrapped around my throat — not squeezing, just holding. Possessing.

    mouth moved down my neck, sucking and biting hard enough to leave faint marks that would fade by morning. I arched into him, fingers threading through his hair as he worked his way lower. When he reached my breasts, he took one nipple into his mouth, sucking deeply while his hand kneaded the other, pinching and rolling the tight peak until I was whimpering.“Elias…” I breathed, hips rolling against the hard length of him.He dropped to his knees in front of me, hands sliding my pants and underwear down in one smooth motion. He looked up at me, eyes dark with hunger and that familiar clingy need.“Spread your legs for Daddy,” he said, voice filthy and low. “Let me taste how wet you still are from carrying my cum all day.”I widened my stance. He leaned in immediately, his tongue dragging slowly up my slit, savoring the taste of us mixed together. A deep, satisfied groan rumbled from his chest as he found my clit and sucked it gently into his mouth. My knees buckled. He gripped my hips

  • Offlimits Desire: My Best friend's Daddy    Epilogue....

    The house was quiet after Amina went to bed. The kind of quiet that pressed against the skin, heavy with everything unsaid during the day. Elias and I moved through the familiar motions of closing up — locking the front door, turning off the porch lights, checking that Lila’s monitor was on in the nursery. But there was a current running beneath it all tonight, something sharper and more urgent than the usual exhaustion after a long visit.When we finally stepped into our bedroom and closed the door behind us, Elias didn’t speak. He simply turned me against the wall, one large hand sliding up to cup the back of my neck as his mouth found mine. The kiss was deep from the start, slow and claiming, like he had been holding himself back all day and could no longer.His other hand moved down my body, possessive and sure, slipping under my shirt to palm my breast. I gasped into his mouth as his thumb brushed over my nipple, already tight and sensitive. He groaned low in his throat, the soun

    Fifteen Years LaterLila was twenty when she left for college.She chose a school four hours away — the same distance Amina had once traveled. Elias had tried very hard not to make a big deal about it, but the night before she left, I caught him sitting in her empty room at two in the morning, just staring at the walls.“She’s ready,” I told him, leaning in the doorway.He didn’t look at me. “I know. That doesn’t make it easier.”Amina had come home for the weekend to help Lila pack. She was thirty-six now, married to Noah for eight years, and working as a therapist specializing in grief and family transitions. She had built a quiet, steady life two towns over. They didn’t have children yet. She had told us, privately, that she wasn’t sure if she ever would. We had told her that was okay.On Lila’s last night home, the five of us sat on the porch one final time before she left. Lila was sprawled across the swing with her head in Amina’s lap. Noah sat on the steps. Elias and I shared t

    Ten Years LaterLila was ten when Amina got engaged.The proposal happened on a Saturday in early spring. Noah had taken Amina to the overlook behind the old high school — the same place they had gone on their third date years earlier. He had gotten down on one knee with the entire town apparently in on the secret, because half of Willow Creek seemed to know about it before Amina even called us.She called that evening, her voice shaking in a way we hadn’t heard in years.“He asked,” she said, the second Elias answered the phone. “Noah asked me to marry him. I said yes.”Elias had gone very still, the phone pressed to his ear. I watched his face carefully.“Are you happy?” he asked quietly.There was a pause on the other end.“I am,” Amina said. Her voice was thick. “I really am. But I also feel… strange. Like I’m starting something new while I’m still figuring out the old stuff. Does that make sense?”“It makes perfect sense,” Elias answered. “You don’t have to have everything figure

    The lilacs along Maple Lane had grown taller over the years, their branches now reaching the second-floor windows in late spring. The house itself had changed in small, lived-in ways — a new coat of paint on the porch railing, a wooden swing set in the backyard that Elias had built himself, and the faint sound of a five-year-old’s laughter echoing from inside.Lila was five now. She had Elias’s hazel eyes and my stubborn streak, and she had recently decided that every sentence needed to end with “because I said so.” Amina had come home for her birthday weekend, something she had started doing more consistently over the past couple of years.She was twenty-six now. She had finished her master’s degree the year before and was working as a high school counselor two towns over. Noah had moved in with her six months ago. They weren’t engaged yet, but the way she talked about him had shifted — less like she was testing the waters and more like she was building something solid.On the mornin

    The days between Christmas and New Year’s moved slowly, the way winter days in Willow Creek always did. The snow stayed on the ground, and the town felt hushed under its white blanket. Amina had decided to stay through the first week of January instead of going back right after Christmas. She hadn’

    before had left everything outside soft and muffled, and the only sounds in the house were the occasional creak of old floorboards and the low hum of the furnace. Elias and I woke early, as we always did on Christmas. He made coffee while I warmed the cinnamon rolls Mrs. Delgado had dropped off the

    The first real snow of the season came early, dusting the bare branches along Maple Lane and turning the porch steps white by morning. Elias and I stood at the kitchen window with our coffee, watching the flakes fall. It felt like the town had finally decided to lean into winter, and for the first

    The days leading up to Amina’s visit moved with a quiet steadiness that still felt new. The house on Maple Lane had settled into a rhythm that no longer carried the sharp edge of secrecy. Elias and I woke up without the old tension in our chests. We made coffee together, talked about small things o
