Semua Bab Forbidden Nanny: Temptation at Home: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Alex's POVCeline's father showing up felt like a cold splash of reality I hadn't seen coming.It reminded me, brutally that I shouldn't be doing this. That I had no business letting things go as far as they had with her.She's twenty-five.Ten years younger than me.She was born in the 2000s, for God's sake. When I was buried in textbooks, pulling all-nighters, she was still a kid. No matter how composed she is, how sharp, how self-possessed there is no arguing with time.And then there was her father.Listening to him talk about her made my skin crawl in the worst way. He spoke about her like she was still his little girl, his princess. He laughed about old nicknames, childhood habits, the way she used to sulk when she didn't get her way. Meanwhile, all I could think about was how I'd had her in my arms hours earlier. How her mouth had been on mine. How I knew the sound she made when she relaxed completely.The disconnect made me feel sick.I needed out of the house.I took the fir

Celine's POV I don't see Alex again that night. I think about him constantly though. I think about his hands on me, how he made me feel. Just by looking at him I get flashbacks of coming in his arms its really ridiculous how obsessed I'm getting over something so temporary.He and his friend Nash disappear into his home office, the door closed for hours, and I don't try to interrupt. Whatever is happening between us feels heavy, a lot, I can sense him pulling back.The next morning, Jack is on a short midterm break, but Alex still takes him to school to personally hand in the apology letter. Jack isn't thrilled, but Alex insists.Since Jack will be home all day afterward, I decide to go for Pilates early.When I come downstairs dressed in my Pilates clothes, Alex and Jack are already at the dining table. Alex is focused on something on his iPad, jaw set, posture rigid. Jack is halfway through his breakfast.Jack notices me before I even speak."Are you going with us, Celine?" he asks

Celine’s POVWe oversleep, Alex and I.I wake to a sharp knock at the bedroom door, followed immediately by Jack’s voice.“Dad?”The doorknob jiggles.My heart slams into my ribs.Thank God the door is locked.Alex shifts beside me, startled awake. For half a second he looks peaceful, warm skin, sleep-sex hair, and then reality crashes in. We are both completely naked. Our clothes are scattered everywhere, like the room itself is guilty.It’s past nine.A wave of panic washes over me. Jack can’t see this. He can’t see me like this.“I— I’ll go to him,” Alex whispers, already moving, gathering clothes from the floor with frantic efficiency. He pulls on a T-shirt and sweatpants, all business now, but before he reaches the door, he pauses, leans down, and presses the quickest kiss to my forehead. It’s soft. It's sweet and I blush.I clutch the duvet to my chest, shrinking into the pillows as he cracks the door open just enough that Jack can’t see inside.“Your door was locked?” Jack asks

Alex's POVI don’t see Celine when I finally get home.After that little FaceTime tryst, she must have gone to sleep and honestly, it’s probably for the best. The guilt hit me the second I stepped out of my office and ran into Will in the hallway. Her uncle. My partner. The man who trusts me, with our company, with his family.And there I was, fresh off seeing his niece naked on my screen.It was hard to meet his eyes. My mind replayed what had just happened... her voice, her skin, the way she said my name and I felt like the most unprofessional bastard on the planet. Thankfully, he was heading out too, tired and distracted, so we didn’t have to talk much. If he noticed anything off in me, he didn’t say.The drive home felt longer than usual. Jack was already asleep when I checked in on him sprawled across the bed, peaceful in that way only kids can be. I stood there for a moment, brushing a hand over his hair, grounding myself. Reminding myself that I still had to be… good. Steady.

Alex's POV,Leave it to Nicole to ruin my mood early in the morning."Are you sleeping with her?" she'd asked meaning Celine and my stomach twisted. Were we being that obvious?But this was Nicole. She hated me being around other women when we were married, not that I ever cheated. I despise cheating. I watched it destroy my parents' marriage, and I promised myself I'd never be that person.I look at Nicole and honestly, she doesn't get to demand access to my personal life anymore."That's none of your business. And please call before you show up," I tell her just as Celine comes downstairs with Jack and his packed bag."Bye, Dad!" Jack grins. He loves his mom, and he deserves to have her in his life. That's what matters. And to be fair, Nicole isn't a bad mother she loves him too."Bye," I say, kissing Jack's forehead."Bye, Celine!" he adds, wrapping his arms around her."Okay, baby, let's get going," Nicole says, staring daggers at Celine. Celine looks completely clueless under
