Semua Bab Breaking Daddy's Rules: Bab 11 - Bab 17

RAINE’s POV The sun streamed through tall windows, lighting up the room golden. I exhaled softly and looked around the room for Cyril. His side of the mattress was cold, disappointment rose up inside me.I pushed it away immediately. I already knew what I was getting myself into last night. Still…I stretched under the covers, my muscles ached strangely. My skin still hummed from the memory of yesterday. Heat crept up my neck as I recalled every moment. Cyril’s hands. His voice and the way he looked at me.It’d been my first time choosing to be with someone completely. The thought sent a lot of emotions through me. Would it change anything? Would he see me differently now?Slowly, I sat up and let the sheets fall away. My eyes flickered to the door and I hesitated slightly before getting out of bed. My usual clothes which were oversized sweaters, and simple jeans suddenly didn’t feel right.I wanted to look… different today. Presentable. I chose a simple dress after just a few minu

RAINE’S POVA pause. “You okay?”I closed my eyes briefly. “Yeah. Just need to go over the launch designs.”“Hmm… alright. See you soon.”The cab soon dropped me off at Tyler’s building and I took the short flight of stairs up, the door to his apartment swung open. Tyler leaned against the doorway, a black jogger and white t-shirt clinging to his lean build. His arms were crossed casually against his chest and his head was tilted up, like he was huffing at me.His caramel skin and curly dark brown locks glowed in the sunlight. I raised an eyebrow in amusement as his hazel eyes peeked at me from the corner.“You wouldn’t happen to be doing a pose right now, would you?” I asked, holding back a smile.He snorted while pushing off the doorframe. “What can I say? It just comes naturally.” He gave me a loop-sided grin and spread his arms.I giggled and moved in for a brief hug.“Rough day?” He asked, pulling back and leading me past the living room to his balcony where two rattan chairs fa

RAINE’S POVTurning around, I bent just enough to grab a weight. Through the mirror, I caught the way his jaw clenched and the way his grip tightened on the dumbbells. I snorted softly at how fun this was. However when I caught sight of the noticeable bulge forming in his shorts, my confidence nearly went through the roof.I gulped hard because I was shocked by what was in front of my eyes. A thought just hit me. I grabbed a 10kg metal dumbbell which I haven’t tried before and went up to him."Can you help me with this?" I asked, my voice laced with feigned innocence. Cyril’s expression remained unreadable, but I caught the bob in his throat when he swallowed. He set his dumbbells down and stepped behind me. "Are you sure you can handle this?" I nodded. "Just need a little guidance."His hands brushed against mine as he adjusted my grip. Despite the cold metal in my grasp, his touch sent a wave of heat through me."Like this." He murmured and began to demonstrate. I felt drawn eve

RAINE’S POVThe first thing I registered was the constant buzzing of my phone. My groggy brain barely processed it before my eyes cracked open, squinting against the morning light filtering through my curtains.Ugh. Who in their right mind was calling this early?I fumbled around, grabbed my phone from under my pillow, and saw a string of missed calls from Chloe, the only person I had close to a friend from high school. That woke me up fast. Chloe only blew up my phone like this when something was on fire—sometimes literally.“What?” I answered, in a slow tone.“Since when do you have a stepbrother?” Chloe’s sharp voice cut through the line.My brain short-circuited. I sat up too fast, the sheets tangling around my legs. “What are you yapping about?”She scoffed. “Oh, so you don’t know that every gossip blog from here to hell is posting about Cyril’s secret son?”“What?” My heart lurched into my throat.“You need to check the blogs.
