SEDUCING MY BEST FRIEND’S DAD CHAPTER 126: THE REUNION
BelleI watched James nod at something his father said, watched Debbie reach out and touch his arm and watched him let her.“I think they already are.” My heart swelled watching the scene unfold.But I kept my distance.Whatever was happening between James and his family, it wasn’t mine to be part of. I moved around the room, talked to Jenna, ate cake, let Devon make me laugh, and kept my eyes deliberately away from the corner where James stood with his parents and Janet.People left slowly. Hugs at the door. Promises to do it again. Devon squeezed my hand on his way out and kissed my cheek.“Happy birthday, Belle.”I appreciated him for it.It was just James’ family now. Jenna was probably making out with Jason somewhere in the house.As I turned back to the living room, James found me. He came straight to me and drew me into his side, tucking me against him.“You asked me to reconcile with my family.”I looked up at him, expectant.“I think I just did.”Laughter broke out around us.
SEDUCING MY BEST FRIEND’S DAD CHAPTER 125: LUCKY HIM
Belle“You’ll find out soon enough.” He smiled like he was holding something back.I chuckled. “You’re so full of surprises, James Wilder.”“Don’t you love that about me?”“I actually do.” I giggled, then took his hand and led him into a particular room.“And this was mine.” I grinned, gesturing as he stepped inside.“Your room?” He looked around.“It’s quite different now from how it used to be. But a few years ago, I used to love this space.”“Well, now you love this big guy here.” He pulled me into him. “And the only space I want you in is my arms.”His lips met mine, lingering against me before he eased away.“This is perfect.” My excitement bubbled over.He studied me for a moment and kissed me again, his hand at the side of my face. I leaned into it and let his lips claim mine completely.My phone rang against my hip.I pulled back and looked at the screen.“It’s Jenna.” I glanced up at him.He nodded. “I’ll take you home.”We stayed there, both smiling. It was different now. Ho
SEDUCING MY BEST FRIEND’S DAD CHAPTER 124: NOTHING I WOULDN’T DO FOR YOU
Belle“Jenna wants us back by six.” I looked up at him. “I’m sorry.”He hesitated, looking almost disappointed, like I was about to spoil the surprise.“James.” I stepped closer and touched his arm. “I’m sorry. Whatever you had planned, I’m ruining it.”His thumb came up and traced along my chin.“It’s not a problem.” His voice softened. “It’s your birthday. You’re the star of the moment.”He glanced past me toward the jet for a second, then back at me.“I was saving this for last anyway. We might as well do it now.”“Do what?”“Come on.”He took my hand and we got back into the car.I watched the streets change outside the window as we drove. Anxiety built in my chest the further we went. The roads got quieter. The buildings got more familiar and I sat forward.“James.” I turned to him. “This is my neighborhood.”He watched me without responding.“I grew up here.” I looked back out the window. Dad’s favorite café. The old pharmacy where Mom used to pick up medicine every now and then
SEDUCING MY BEST FRIEND’S DAD CHAPTER 123: KEEP A BIRTHDAY PROMISE
Belle“James.” I sat up and met his eyes, not willing to back down. “You said I could have anything.”“Yes.” His jaw flexed. “Anything but this.”“Why not this?”“Because you don’t know what you’re asking of me, Belle.” He sat up too. “You have no idea.”“I’m asking you to fix a broken family.” I kept my eyes on him. “For all our sakes. For our baby’s sake too.”He seemed conflicted for a moment before he buried it again.“For the love of God.” He rubbed a hand over his face. “Just ask me for something else.”“I see you’re a man who goes back on his word.” I tilted my head. “You can’t even keep a birthday promise.”His eyes caught mine. “Belle, you know that’s not true.”“If you can’t give this one thing a shot, then I don’t know what to say to you.” I reached for my pillow and dragged it toward me. “I’m going back to sleep.”I lay back down and closed my eyes.Silence.I heard him exhale. Then I felt him lean closer and felt his face drop to my hair. He stayed there for a second, bre
SEDUCING MY BEST FRIEND’S DAD CHAPTER 122: ANYTHING YOU WANT
BelleI felt his lips first.Warm against my collarbone, trailing up the side of my neck, unhurried, like he had nowhere in the world to be and no intention of rushing any of it. My eyes were still closed and I lay there, a smile tugging at my mouth before I was even fully awake.His lips moved along my jaw. Then my chin. Then my cheek.I turned my face toward him and kept my eyes shut and just felt it. His hands were wrapped around me, one at my waist, one at my back, holding me against him like I might drift away if he loosened his grip.It was the best way I had ever been woken up in my life.“Happy birthday, sweet Fox.”My eyes flew open.I stared at him.He was looking at me with a knowing smile, fully aware of what he had done and clearly enjoying every second of it.“It’s my birthday,” I murmured. I pushed myself up onto one elbow and looked at him. “I completely forgot. I haven’t thought about it in weeks.”He smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners.“How do you know my birt
SEDUCING MY BEST FRIEND’S DAD CHAPTER 121: LET’S BOTH FIND OUT
JamesThe old folks left. Better. I did without them for two decades. I didn’t need them now.I turned to Belle trying to cool my furious emotions. “I did it again. Made a decision for you without asking.” I was just so pissed, and I knew it wasn’t an excuse Belle had to accept, but it was all I had. I didn’t want her judging me for it.“James.” Her eyes studied me with concern. “I know seeing them again was a lot for you.”“I’m sorry. I was so angry I couldn’t think straight.”She watched me for a long moment. “What are you going to do now?”“I don’t want to talk about it.” I headed inside, taking off my clothes and going into the shower.Later in bed, I lay with my head turned away from her. She moved closer and wrapped her arms around me. I turned and tugged her against me, her belly pressing against mine.“They hurt me, Belle.” I whispered, still feeling all the hurt. A part of me felt shame. Because they were right about Angelina. But Tania, she was innocent. I wanted her to live
