บททั้งหมดของ His father’s obsession with me : บทที่ 81 - บทที่ 90

Aurora’s POVThe morning after the big family reunion dawned bright and golden over the coastal estate. Sunlight poured through the large windows of the dining room where we had gathered for breakfast. Laughter and chatter filled the air as my siblings recounted stories from the night before, but my focus kept drifting to Theo across the table. He sat casually, looking effortlessly handsome in a simple white t-shirt that hugged his broad shoulders and defined chest. Our eyes met briefly, and the heat in his gaze sent a rush of warmth straight between my thighs. Last night’s secret, desperate sex against the wall in his guest room still lingered on my skin—the way he had thrust deep inside me, muffling my moans with his mouth as I came hard around him.Uncle Kael set his coffee down and smiled at Mom and Dad. “Lila and I were thinking of heading back a bit early today. There’s some work we need to handle in the city. But Theo can stay and keep Aurora company if that’s alright with you.

The blissful bubble we had created during the early days of summer shattered far too soon. Theo received a call from his father late one afternoon while we were secretly tangled together in the guest room. Uncle Kael needed him back in the city for a couple of urgent family business matters—something about contracts and a meeting that couldn’t be postponed. Theo tried to negotiate staying longer, but the tone in his father’s voice left no room for argument. “I have to go,” he told me afterward, holding me close on the bed, his naked body still warm against mine. His fingers traced soothing patterns on my bare hip as I curled into his chest, fighting back tears. “Just a few days, baby. I’ll be back before you know it. I promise.” I nodded against his skin, inhaling his scent like I could memorize it. “I know. It’s just… these past days have been perfect. I don’t want to go back to pretending all the time.” He kissed me deeply, pouring every ounce of love and longing into it. His t

Aurora’s POVThe morning air was crisp with the familiar coastal breeze as I walked toward campus, my bag slung over my shoulder and my mind already drifting to Theo. The past few weeks back at Crestwood had settled into our carefully balanced routine — secret nights in his dorm filled with passion and whispered promises, polite “cousin” interactions during the day. My heart felt lighter knowing he was close, even if we had to hide everything. Summer had only made our love stronger, and the distance during those final days apart had left me aching for him in ways that no amount of secret video calls could fully satisfy.I was lost in thoughts of last night — Theo’s hands gripping my hips as he thrust deep inside me from behind, his low groans in my ear, the way he had made me come twice before filling me with his release — when the low, throaty roar of a motorcycle cut through the quiet street. My lips curved into an automatic smile. Theo. He must have decided to surprise me with a ri

Aurora’s POVJake never stopped bothering me. What started as annoying persistence quickly became a daily ordeal that made my carefully constructed secret life feel like it was balancing on the edge of a knife. He showed up outside my lectures, waited near the volleyball courts after practice, and somehow always “bumped into” me in the cafeteria or library. His charming smile and easy confidence drew attention everywhere he went, and the fact that he directed all of it toward me only made things worse.One afternoon, after I had politely turned down yet another invitation for coffee, he cornered me near the science building with a more direct question. His hazel eyes searched mine, that flirtatious grin still playing on his lips.“Be honest with me, Aurora,” he said, voice low. “Are you and Theo… more than cousins? The way he looks at you sometimes… it doesn’t feel like just family.”My stomach dropped. Panic surged through me. If Jake suspected something, others might too. The rumors

Aurora’s POVI couldn’t keep running from the chaos Jake had created. The cafeteria proposal, the fight between him and Theo, the endless whispers and stares — it was all becoming too dangerous. Every day that Jake persisted brought us closer to someone connecting the dots about Theo and me. The Rivera name, our families’ fragile peace, the love we had fought so hard to keep secret — it was all at risk.So, in order to cut things short and protect what mattered most, I agreed to be Jake’s girlfriend.It was one of the hardest decisions I had ever made.I met him the next afternoon near the coffee shop his grandfather owned. My hands trembled as I sat across from him, forcing a small, shy smile. “Okay, Jake. Let’s try this. I’ll be your girlfriend.”His face lit up with genuine happiness. He reached across the table and took my hand, squeezing it gently. “You won’t regret this, Aurora. I promise I’ll treat you right.”The words felt like knives in my chest. I wanted to scream that my h
