All Chapters of Craving My Father’s Bestfriend (18+) Romance: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Sienna's POV“Girl, you're crazy,” April muttered, staring at me as though I had completely lost my mind.Maybe I had. Because, tell me why I was seriously considering walking up to a complete stranger just because he happened to be the most attractive man I'd seen all night.Maybe heartbreak really did make people irrational.Without listening to another word from my friends, I finished the rest of my wine in one gulp, placed the empty glass on the counter and headed toward the secluded corner of the club.The man sat alone beneath the dim lighting, lazily swirling a glass of whiskey while smoke from the cigar between his fingers curled into the air. He looked completely detached from the noisy crowd around him, as though none of us existed.Just before I could reach him, two men dressed in black stepped in front of me."I'm sorry, ma'am. You can't go any farther," one of them said politely but firmly.Instead of answering him, I looked past both guards until my eyes met the stranger

DYLANI woke up to the gentle sway of the yacht, the morning sun filtering through the half-drawn curtains of the master suite, casting long golden streaks across the rumpled sheets. My head throbbed faintly, not from any excess of alcohol but from the memories that crashed over me the moment my eyes opened. Last night. God, last night. I sat up slowly, running a hand through my disheveled hair, and let out a long breath. Still lost in the unexpected spark that had pulled me out of the careful shell I'd built around myself for years. It had been reckless, impulsive, and yet... incredibly alive. I hadn't felt that kind of fire in what seemed like forever.My phone buzzed on the nightstand, pulling me from the haze. I reached for it, squinting at the screen. A message from Louis, my old friend and business associate, lit up the display "Heading to the company today with my daughter. She's interning for the summer and thought it might be good for her to shadow some of the teams. Let

SIENNADylan moved with speed, stepping back from the desk and turning toward the door in motion. I rubbed my skirt down trying to smoothen it. I was hoping the flush on my cheeks looked like first-day nerves rather than guilt.Dad paused, glancing between us. “Everything alright?”“Perfectly,” Dylan replied, his voice steady as steel. “I was just giving Sienna a sense of the expectations for high-priority projects. She has strong instincts. Just like you.” I nodded quickly, forcing a smile. “Yes. Mr. Ashford was… very clear.”Dad chuckled. “Good. I knew you two would hit it off. Don’t let him intimidate you, sweetheart.” He gave Dylan a friendly nod. “I’ll see you at the club on Saturday. Bring that competitive spirit. I plan to win this round of golf.”“Wouldn’t have it any other way,” Dylan said.The moment Dad left and the door clicked shut again, the tension in the room snapped back. I let out a shaky breath.“That was too close,” I whispered.Dylan dragged a hand through his

SIENNA I followed Dylan into his office, the heavy door shutting behind us louder than it should..He didn’t speak right away, he walked past me, tossed his jacket over the back of his chair, and stood by the window with his back turned.I stayed near the door, heart still racing from the scene outside.“Miss Stanton, Explain yourself.” he said at last. His voice was calm, but there was an edge underneath it that made my stomach tighten.“I didn’t hit her.” I said, tightening my hands into a fist. It was so obvious that I've been framed. Why was he now making me explain myself?Dylan turned slowly and his eyes met mine. “Elena said you did. And there were witnesses.”I kept my voice steady even though my hands were trembling. “She’s been making my day miserable since I walked in this morning.” I said calmly.“ Claire and Rachel joined , and when I finally told them to stop treating me that way— she framed me and…”I didn't get to finish my sentence when he spoke.“You’re accusing m
