All Chapters of Ruin Me Slowly, Daddy~~: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

~Kate~“How old are you, Bob with the bob hair?”I bit my lip so hard I almost tasted blood because the way Mr. Reid asked that question, with that calm, serious expression like he wasn’t fully aware of how ridiculous he sounded, nearly sent me into a full-blown laughing fit right there in the middle of what was supposed to be a normal dinner.And by normal, I mean absolutely not normal because I was sitting at the same table with a man who had kissed me in a way that still made my brain glitch every few seconds like a faulty system, while his daughter was busy playing host of the year with her boyfriend like she was presenting him for royal approval.“Ohhh, not Dad is not going to make this easy for him,” Yssa whispered dramatically from beside me, already halfway sliding off her chair before she fully committed to standing up and sneaking toward the staircase like she was about to watch a live drama unfold, and of course, she grabbed my wrist and pulled me along with her because suf

~Kate~I can’t believe I’m actually doing this.Like… of all the bad decisions I’ve made in the past few days, this one is climbing straight to the top like it has been waiting for its moment to shine.Going to Mr. Reid’s room… to distract him… so Yssa can sneak into Bob’s room like she is starring in her own secret romance movie… is exactly the kind of nonsense I would normally reject with full chest and zero hesitation, but somehow here I am, standing in front of his door like I have completely lost every ounce of sense my mother worked so hard to build inside me.“God, Kate, what are you doing?” I whispered to myself, staring at the door like it might open on its own and expose me before I even knock.Because let’s be honest, part of me wants to turn around and run straight back to my room, lock the door, bury myself under the blanket, and pretend none of this is happening, but another part of me… the very suspicious, very reckless part of me… is curious.Curious about him.Curious

~Nathan~One moment I was sitting at the dining table, pretending to listen to whatever nonsense Bob was saying while Yssa laughed like he was the funniest man alive, and the next moment I was pushing my chair back, excusing myself like a man who still had control over his life when in reality I was barely holding on by a thread.Because sitting there, across from Kate, watching her act like nothing had happened between us earlier, watching her avoid my eyes like I was the problem when she was the one who walked into my space and turned everything upside down, it was doing something to me that I did not like.It was messing with my head.My control.My sanity.Every little thing she did, the way she held her glass, the way she tucked her hair behind her ear, the way she laughed softly at something Yssa said while still refusing to look in my direction, it was all getting to me in a way that made no sense for a man my age.So I left.Not because I wanted to.But because I needed to.Be

~Kate~ The moment I opened the door, I didn’t think. I didn’t breathe. I didn’t even allow my brain to process what had just happened because if I did, I knew I would collapse right there in the hallway, and that was the last thing I needed. So I ran. Like something was chasing me, like the walls of the house were closing in, like if I didn’t get away fast enough, I would drown in everything I was feeling. My feet barely touched the ground as I rushed down the hallway with my shame over taking me, my heart pounding so loudly it felt like it was echoing in my ears, and when I finally got to my room, I slammed the door shut behind me and leaned against it, my chest rising and falling so fast I could barely catch my breath. And then… Everything hit me at once. The tears came before I could stop them. Hot. Fast. Uncontrollable. “Oh God…” I whispered, my voice breaking as I pressed my hand over my mouth like I could somehow hold everything inside, like I could stop m

~Kate~“Harder~~ daddy… please…” I begged, my voice trembling as I looked up at him, my hands gripping onto him like I would fall apart if I let go, my entire body reacting in a way that felt out of control, like I wasn’t even myself anymore, like I had become someone else entirely.“Gladly, my kitten…” he said, his voice low, dangerous, sending a shiver through me that made my chest tighten and my breath hitch all at once.And just as everything intensified, as the moment was about to completely consume me… he was hitting all the right spot.My phone rang.Loud and violent.It shattered everything.My eyes snapped open.I sat up immediately, my heart racing so fast it felt like it would jump out of my chest, my breathing uneven as I looked around the room, confusion hitting me first before realization slowly followed.My room.My bed.Morning light pushing through the curtains like nothing had happened.Like everything that just played in my head wasn’t real.“Oh God…” I whispered, d
