All Chapters of Seducing Daddy's Best Friend: Chapter 11 - Chapter 19

CarlI told myself I wasn’t watching her, but I was watching every goddamn move she made since she stepped into my apartment, and she wasn’t making it easy for me either.I had seen the tears in her eyes when she saw me kissing Nora, I thought perhaps she was shocked for witnessing such scene, but it didn’t look like it after she made the statement while grabbing a drink from the fridge.I have been weakened by all her deliberate act. I told myself over and over again that she is just a pretty girl trying to stir shit, perhaps she is playing childish drama to push boundaries, play grown-up just to get back at me for what she had seen.But Riley wasn’t a child anymore, and every time she walked past me in those little skirts, or whispered something that made my fist clench, I didn’t see my best friend daughter anymore, I saw a fantasy I didn’t know I had until she started offering herself like sin.And the worst part is she knew what she was doing.Last night had been very difficult, sh

CarlI exhaled sharply and cursed under my breath before I turned to Riley. “Riley, this isn’t something you should say suddenly, language please.” I told her.Riley chuckled silently. “Oh, you are an adult and I would be an adult in a week.” She responded. “Whereas, you had seen and heard me last night, it’s no secret what I feel, and you don’t hide yours either.”I closed my eyes momentarily. “Riley, I know it was wrong for you to see me and Nora that day, we should have done that in privacy, but we---““You know that’s not what I am talking about.” She interrupted me and I stepped on the brake, the tires screeched and came to a halt.“Riley.” I turned to her with furrowed brows. “I don’t know what you think you are doing, but whatever it is, you should stop now.”She held my gaze briefly and looked away from me. “We are home.” She changed the subject, unfastening her seat belt. “It’s still pouring.”“Riley…”She pushed the door open and was about to step out, but I quickly held her

CarlI paced the living room, running my fingers through my hair unable to ignore the scene I had just witnessed. My heart thumped in my chest, and I couldn’t sit, I could not think straight.If I had been a minute late, if I hadn’t come home as fast as I could, perhaps she would have been up there fucking him, I just don’t get how she could do something like that under my roof, and all the signals she gave me where all joke to her.How can she be with someone else, how can she laugh so loud and let him touch her like that, how can she kiss him, and stay half naked with him.What the hell am I even doing?I cursed myself under my breath, I should be angry that she was doing that, not angry because she had wanted me but lied about it.What was she thinking? What the fuck was she doing?My attention snapped to the stair when I heard he coming down, she stopped at the foot of the stairs, her gaze lowered, her face pale, she looked ashamed for the first time.I looked at her pale face and

RileyThe second morning, I rushed downstairs as soon as I woke up, but there was nothing, no Carl, just warm food and no note.He was home last night, perhaps he returned late not to run into me and also left early before I woke up.I stared at the plate, irritation curled in my chest. “Wow,” I muttered under my breath. “How generous of him,”Going out to check if his car was in the parking lot would be a waste of time, so I ate the food anyway.I must admit, Carl was good at cooking, the meal I ate last night was delicious, like he had cared too much about the details.And I couldn’t throw this away because part of me hated that he could be thoughtful without actually speaking to me.Two days, it was two entire days since our argument in the living room, and now he had preferred avoidance because I had accused him of treating me like a child.I have been eating alone, and it was infuriating, too humiliating just because I chose to show him my feelings.I shut the door behind me with
