All Chapters of Fake dating my bestie's dad for Valentine : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

RUNEThe ride back home was filled with tension. After a six hour flight, another two hours wasted on a detour (that was really just Lorenzo doing boring stuff and buying even more boring stuff), sitting across from Lorenzo was enough to make every nerve in my body close to detonation point. I squeezed into the corner of the car to get as far away from him as possible."Are you finally going to tell me why you changed your mind last minute?" Lorenzo asked, the first words he had spoken to me since we left L.A.I turned to him so fast my neck almost cracked. "You finally want to listen to me?!" I exclaimed, unable to keep the accusatory tone away from my voice. "Don't make me regret it," He said, casting a warning glance at me. I exhaled, my shoulders slumped in defeat. "Anslem cheated on me." I said in a whisper. A stillness filled the car.I glanced at Lorenzo to find his face impassive and blank. A few seconds ticked by. Then some more. The silence that was heavy before became

XAVIERI am a level headed man. An alpha who lets emotions take control of him has a lot of introspective work to do. It's easy to tell myself that Rune will be safe and fine. Afterall, she's with family. That should soothe my wolf. Or so I believed. "Mr Creighton?"There she is. My human mate, safe, not a hair out of place. With her family. Did I fly across the country on a whim for nothing?I turned my attention away from the sniveling wolf staring at me with a horrified face. "You're Marcella's dad," The man who opened the door, who I guess must be the brother Marcella talked about, said. "Yes," I replied, unable to take my eyes off Rune. My Rune. "Marcella was worried about you,"A bold, shameless lie. I'm here because I wanted to, not because Marcella asked me to. Rune nodded frantically, her stunning eyes wide with shock. "I...I should have called her once I landed. I-I'm really sorry,"Why is she apologising? I should be the one apologising for following her like a chea

RUNEI fell into the pool, the warm water forming a wave of warmth around me. Barely seconds later, before my body could sink, a loud splash was heard and strong arms grabbed my waist. "What the hell are you doing?" Xavier asked as he pulled me up, his eyes searching my face. Gosh, he looked so good. His white shirt turned sheer, showing off his corded muscles. My eyes followed a drop of water on its path from his forehead to his chin and down his neck. I wanted to taste it. Follow its path with the tip of my tongue. I swallowed, hard. The warmth of his hands sliding up my waist burned, and I leaned into him, seeking more of that warmth. "You caught me," I whispered, reaching out and pushing strands of hair from his eyes. He chuckled, the blue of the water reflecting in his eyes. His grip on my waist tightened, making me gasp. Slowly, he guided me till my legs wrapped around his waist. "How couldn't I?" He said. I put my arms around his neck, holding him as physically close as

RUNEA week passed. A cursed week at best. Against my better judgement, I returned to my apartment. I told myself that maybe if I just pretended nothing happened in my living room, I can go back to life as usual. So I cooped up in my bedroom, watched funny cat videos from sun up to sundown, and ignored every attempt at conversation from the outside world. From Lorenzo, Marcella, Anslem, even Xavier. Especial Xavier. I have no idea how he got my number, but I ignored him too. Thankfully, Marcella knew of my tendency to vanish at random points in life. If not, I fear she would have come tearing down my doors. I also didn't want to see her. So many times, I came close to just blurting out everything to her. "Hey, so I made out with your dad! Twice!" "Ah!" I groaned, squeezing my eyes shut as I cringed. "No. No way in hell."I kept my lips sealed, tucked myself under my blankets, and ignored life. Deep down I knew that I wasn't acting like a mature adult. It was my sad nature to

RUNE What is wrong with me?! Where the heck is my back bone?!I knew it was risky. I knew it was wrong. Yet I couldn't help myself.Xavier's hands gripped my thighs as he lifted me effortlessly, carrying me to his desk like I weighed nothing. My back hit the polished wood, papers scattering everywhere, and I didn't care. I didn't care about anything except the way he was looking at me, like I was the only thing in the world that mattered.His mouth found mine again, demanding and hungry, and I responded with equal desperation. My fingers fumbled with the buttons of my shirt while his hands pushed my skirt up around my waist. Cool air hit my skin but I was burning, burning from the inside out."You're so beautiful," he murmured against my throat, his accent thicker now, rougher. His lips trailed down, leaving hot kisses along my collarbone, between my breasts.I should have stopped this. Should have pushed him away and straightened my clothes and walked out of his office with whatever
