Daisy’s pov

I had never wanted to hurt anyone in my life, until I met Jaxon Ryder. I glanced at him from the corner of my eye and wished, for a brief moment, that it was legal to commit murder. He was enjoying the burger I had made for him, and I honestly wished he would choke on it. Or just drop dead.

I clenched my teeth, trying not to scream as memories from yesterday came rushing back. I shut my eyes tight, but the scene kept playing in my head. I was never reading a book again. Ever. I should not have brought Fifty Shades of Grey to school, let alone read it. But I was bored waiting for Jaxon, and it was the only book I had in my bag.

During the ride home, Jaxon kept shaking with laughter, trying to hold it in, while I seriously thought about jumping off his motorcycle. Before he left, he kissed me, with a smile, and kept laughing, shaking his head like he had just witnessed the funniest thing on earth. I wanted to kick him so badly. He was unbelievably annoying. But then I rememb

  • The Forbidden Affair: The Man I Should Never Have Known   As long as she sticks to them...

    “I look at you and I see someone who has been through a lot. You are no boy, you’re a man who has faced real hardship. It shows. You’re strong because you had to be.”She let out a breath, her eyes locking with his.“But my daughter lives in a different world. Her head is always in the clouds. She believes in love stories and happy endings. And we’re terrified you’re going to crush all of that.”Jaxon could not take it anymore. First her father, now her mother. And it was not just their judgment that got to him, it was how wrong they were about their own daughter. His girlfriend. They had no idea what he had done for her. For them.He leaned in slightly. “Did you really look closely, Mrs. Lee?”She blinked, caught off guard by the sudden question. “What?”“I said, did you actually look at me?”“I don’t understand.”“Because if you had,” he said, voice rough with frustration, “you would see how much I care about your daughter.” He could not help how angry he sounded. “You’ve seen us t

  • The Forbidden Affair: The Man I Should Never Have Known   I do not want you for my daughter

    “That’s right, Mrs. Lee,” he answered politely, catching the way Daisy fidgeted with her spoon beside him.Her mother kept watching him. “She also said she makes your lunch every day.”“That’s because I want to,” Daisy interrupted before he could respond.“Well, you should not,” her father cut in. “My little girl should not be treated like a personal servant.”“I am not a little girl anymore,” Daisy shot back, her voice rising. “And it is just lunch, Dad. I already make mine. Making an extra one does not take much.”“It is still extra work.”“Henry,” her mother said in a calm, commanding tone that made it clear there was no room for debate. He went quiet immediately. Jaxon glanced at Daisy. She lowered her head, eyes focused on her plate. More proof, when Marianne Lee spoke, the conversation ended. Jaxon decided it was time to speak up.“She does make my lunch,” he said, and all three of them looked at him. “And she is really good at it.”Mrs. Lee allowed a small smile. “She learned e

  • The Forbidden Affair: The Man I Should Never Have Known   ....dating for nearly two months

    Jaxon was being his broody self, right here in my house. I did not know exactly what caused it, but I had a strong feeling Dad was involved. Any pity I had felt for Dad earlier vanished instantly, and I was secretly glad Mum was giving him a hard time. I forced a smile.“So… what do you think of my dad?” I asked casually, hoping the question would pull Jaxon out of whatever mood he had slipped into. “I saw you two talking.”He shrugged again. I nearly started biting my lip, then stopped myself. I really needed to break that habit.“He didn’t say anything mean to you, right?” I asked in a low voice.That question made something flicker in his eyes. Then, to my surprise, he smirked. Before I could ask what he found so amusing, he uncrossed his arms and stood straight.“So, what do we need to do?” he asked, clearly avoiding my question.I sighed in defeat. “I guess… just bring these platters out.”As Jaxon and I began setting the table together, arranging the platters and silverware, I k

  • The Forbidden Affair: The Man I Should Never Have Known   W-what are you doing here?

    Daisy’s povI tried not to imagine Jaxon sitting in the same room as my dad. I was counting on Mum to keep Dad in check. If she told him to behave, he usually listened. And even if Dad did not like Jaxon, he was still a guest. Mum would make sure he was treated like any other visitor in our home, no matter how she felt about him.I poured dressing over the salad and tossed it gently, trying to distract myself with happy thoughts. I even tried to think hard enough to imagine a Patronus, like in Harry Potter. But that only made me think about Jaxon again. I had read that falling in love could influence the shape of a Patronus. Mine would probably be a wolf. Or maybe a lion. I bit my lip to stop myself from smiling. Yes, my Patronus would definitely be a lion. Now if only I had a wand. Still smiling at my silly thoughts and wondering how I ended up thinking about Harry Potter in the first place, I picked up the salad bowl and walked over to the island in the centre of the kitchen, whe

    "You look like a guy who has seen a lot of action."Jaxon slowly turned his attention away from the football game and glanced at Mr. Lee. Of all the ways he expected the conversation to start, this was not it.Was that supposed to be a compliment?Doubtful. He could already tell this man was not here to praise him. But Jaxon had at least expected a little effort, maybe some tact. Apparently, he had given the man too much credit.Henry Lee locked eyes with him and added, "But you are not getting any from my daughter."Jaxon raised an eyebrow and gave a small shrug. "I will try, Mr. Lee. But I am a teenage boy. Hormones are a real problem. It is becoming harder and harder to keep my hands off her."He saw the rage ignite instantly in Mr. Lee's eyes. And Jaxon found a grim kind of satisfaction in it. Then, without another word, he turned back to the game like the conversation had ended.He knew what he was supposed to do, be respectful, polite, maybe even nervous. This man was Daisy's fa

  • The Forbidden Affair: The Man I Should Never Have Known   I will ignore you for a month

    Daisy’s povJaxon accepted my parents’ dinner invitation like it was no big deal. He even smiled. Not a single trace of worry crossed his face. I wished I had his confidence. Part of me wanted to warn him, tell him what my parents were really like when it came to things like this. But I was not sure how he would take it. Jaxon had pride, and if I acted like I was worried about him messing up, it might offend him.When he came to pick me up the next morning, my parents were still in bed. Maybe they were giving me some time alone with him or maybe they just wanted to delay meeting him until the last possible moment. Either way, I was relieved.As soon as we got to school, Jaxon asked about what happened the night before. I told him about the conditions my parents set, though I left out the part where they almost pulled me out of school. He looked at me like he knew I was hiding something but chose not to push. And when I told him about the no-motorcycle rule, I braced myself for a react
