All Chapters of Daddy's Obsession (Filthy Daddies Collection): Chapter 51 - Chapter 58

Chapter 4:Breakfast With The Enemy:The first day of Iris's "education" started with breakfast in Nathaniel's private dining room. It was not the grand formal space where he'd hosted his party, but a smaller, more intimate room with windows overlooking his gardens.He was already seated when she arrived, reading the morning paper with a cup of coffee. He looked different without the formal suit. Still expensive, dark slacks and a white button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up, but more relaxed. Hr look more human."Good morning," he said, looking up from his paper. "I hope you slept better last night.""I was exhausted enough that the kidnapping didn't matter much." Iris sat down across from him, noting the breakfast already laid out. Fresh fruit, pastries, eggs cooked exactly how she liked them. "How did you know I prefer my eggs scrambled?""I know a lot about you, Miss Morgan. What you eat, where you shop, your favorite coffee order. You've been investigating me for months. Di

Chapter 6:Day Three Under His Watch:Day three of Iris's captivity started with what she was beginning to think of as the worst possible wake-up call. Nathaniel Cross was standing in her doorway at six in the morning, already dressed and looking stupidly handsome, holding a coffee cup like he was in some kind of breakfast commercial."Rise and shine, Miss Morgan. We have a full day ahead."Iris pulled the pillow over her head. "I hate you.""You say that now, but wait until you've had coffee. I'm much more tolerant of caffeine.""I'm never caffeinated enough to tolerate you at six AM.""It's six thirty, actually. You slept in." He walked over and pulled the pillow off her face. "Come on. We're going to visit one of my warehouses today.""A warehouse. How thrilling. I can barely contain my excitement.""That's the spirit. Breakfast in twenty minutes. Don't make me send Helen to drag you out of bed."After he left, Iris seriously considered just staying in bed out of spite. But her jou

Chapter 8:A Dangerous Kind of Want:Day five started with another one of Nathaniel's obscenely early wake-up calls, except this time Iris was ready for him. She'd set her own alarm for five AM and was already dressed, caffeinated, and sitting in the breakfast room when he walked in.The look on his face was worth every minute of lost sleep."You're awake," he said, staring at her like she'd grown a second head."And dressed. And I've already had coffee. Which means I'm operating at full capacity to judge whatever boring business operation you're dragging me to today." Iris took a sip of her coffee with an exaggerated satisfaction. "I'm learning your patterns, Cross. You're not the only one who can be strategic.""I'm impressed and slightly concerned." He poured himself coffee and sat across from her. "Does this mean you're actually starting to enjoy our time together?""It means I'm tired of you having the satisfaction of seeing me look like a disaster every morning. This is purely a

Chapter 10:Surrender:"Really? Because I was trying to kill your reputation.""I know. It was extremely attractive."Iris laughed, then kissed him again because she could. Because she wanted to. Because somewhere between being his captive and becoming his choice, she'd fallen for the man everyone thought was a monster but who was actually just a nerdy kid who'd never stopped trying to help his neighborhood."This is still a terrible idea," she said between kisses."The worst," he agreed, his hands sliding into her hair. "Want to see how much worse we can make it?""Absolutely."He pulled her closer. Tonight, she was going to enjoy being wanted by a man who'd seen all her flaws and wanted her anyway.Then his mouth was on hers once again, and the moment her lips parted on a soft gasp, something in Nathaniel snapped.He backed her against the heavy oak desk, hands sliding possessively into her hair, tilting her head exactly where he wanted it. The kiss turned hungry and demanding, his
