All Chapters of Forbidden desire- In love with my father’s best friend : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Amelia groaned, already knowing where this was going, “ Stel, no. I don’t want a big fuss. Besides, where would I even host something like that? ” Stella’s grin turned mischievous “ In that gorgeous mansion you live in. Hello? ” Amelia nearly choked on her drink, “ What? No way. That’s Ryan’s house, not mine. I can’t just… throw a party there without him. ” “ Then ask him! ” Stella shot back, her eyes twinkling. “ He’s crazy about you. He would say yes in a second. ” Amelia shook her head violently, her cheeks heating up. “ No, no, no. I don’t want to drag him into this. Besides, he’s away on a business trip. It feels wrong to even consider it when he’s not around. ” Stella rolled her eyes dramatically, “ You’re impossible. Mel, you deserve to celebrate. Just a small thing, okay? Close friends, good food, good music. Nothing wild. Come on, don’t be boring on your 21st. ” Amelia leaned back in her chair. She didn’t like the idea of using Ryan’s mansion as her playground. “ I’ll… think

Her cheeks flamed, but she nodded, “ Yes. ” For a moment, Ryan just stared at her. No wonder he had difficulty in fingering her, he thought. Then he lowered his forehead to hers, his breath warm against her lips. “ Thank you, ” he whispered, pressing a kiss to her brow. “ Thank you for making me your first. ” The tenderness in his voice broke something inside her, and tears pricked her eyes again. She smiled shakily, whispering, “ I want it to be you. ” His chest rose and fell in a deep breath, and then he kissed her slowly this time, exploring her. He positioned himself at her entrance and when he finally slip inside her slowly, she gasped, her fingers digging into his shoulders. Ryan stilled immediately, brushing kisses along her temple, whispering, “ It’s okay, baby. I’ve got you. ” She nodded, holding onto him tightly, willing herself to relax. A few strokes was enough for the discomfort to fade. Their bodies moved together in a rhythm that felt both strange and natural, tentative

Amelia groaned, “ Don't do this please. ” “ I’m the best friend who tells it like it is, ” Stella corrected. Then she softened again, “ And the best friend who’s really, really happy for you. ” “ Thanks, Stel, ” Amelia replied softly. “ Anytime, birthday girl, ” Stella said with a wink “ Now go take a nap before lover boy comes home and keeps you up all night again. ” Amelia burst out laughing. “ Goodbye, Stella. ” “ Bye, Amelia, ” Stella said before ending the call. Amelia set her phone aside, sinking into her pillows with a sigh. Later in the night, she was so occupied with what she was doing that she didn’t even notice when the front door opened until Ryan’s voice broke the silence. “ Mel? ” Her head jerked up. Ryan stood in the doorway looking a bit tired. But she could tell that he was happy to see her there. “ You’re awake, ” he said, sounding almost relieved. “ Mm, ” she hummed, setting her tea aside. He walked over and leaned down to kiss her forehead before sinking onto the c

She swallowed, quickly adjusting her hair as if he could see her and then answered. “ Dad! ” she greeted, her voice was a little too cheerful. “ Hey, princess, ” Bryan’s warm voice came through, “ How are you holding up? ” Her smile disappeared, and she exhaled softly. “ It’s not been easy, Dad, ” she admitted. “ But… I’m managing. ” There was a brief silence on the other end, then Bryan sighed. “ Yeah, I figured. Losing a friend like Stella… it’s tough. I wish I was there with you. ” Amelia’s throat tightened “ Me too. ” “ I’ll be home soon, okay? Just need to sort some things here, ” he said. Her heart jumped a little, “ Okay, Dad. How long will you be home for? ” He thought for a moment before answering, “ A week at most. ” Amelia bit her lip, immediately remembering that she had to inform him about her relationship with Ryan. The mere idea made her palms sweat but she knew she had to do it, she couldn’t keep him in the dark forever. She was terrified of what his reaction would be.

Amelia flinched, her body trembling visibly as she forced the words out “ Y-yes, Dad. I’ll do that. ” At once, Bryan’s demeanor softened, satisfied with her response. He smiled and reached out to pat her head. Amelia wanted to shrink away from his touch, but she dared not. She held still, her body stiff as his hand pressed briefly against her hair. It was only when he pulled away that she allowed herself to breathe. “ Good girl, ” he said, voice normal again “ Don’t disappoint me. ” Her lips pressed together in a tight line, but she gave another obedient nod. Bryan turned, “ I’ll be in touch, ” he added casually over his shoulder and with that, he walked out of her room. Amelia sat frozen for a long time, her hands gripping the sheets so hard. Her chest rose and fell rapidly in panic. She grabbed her phone off the nightstand and dialed Ryan’s number. It rang several times but there was no answer. “ Pick up, ” she whispered urgently, her voice cracking. And she tried again it again but
