FLORA'S POV

The moment his hands clamped around my waist, the world narrowed down to the furious heat of his skin. The cold, logical reasons he had just listed evaporated into the dark kitchen, replaced by the deep, heavy rumble of his breathing.

"Flora," he groaned, his voice rough against my mouth before his lips slammed into mine.

This kiss wasn't like the one from the afternoon. It wasn't a sudden burst of panicked hunger; it was slow, deliberate, and heavy with a dark sort of worship. He

  • Falling for My Best Friend's Dad   CHAPTER 66: STOLEN MOMENTS

    Flora's POV The bright morning sunlight streamed through the kitchen windows, reflecting off the stainless-steel countertops and casting a warm, golden glow over the entire room. The rich, comforting scent of brewing coffee and sizzling bacon filled the air. "Flora, hand me that spatula, please," Emily said, her hair pulled back into a messy bun as she stood over the stove, carefully flipping pancakes. "Here you go," I smiled, sliding the plastic spatula into her hand. Breakfast was a loud, chaotic, and entirely happy affair. Marcus and Josh were already sitting at the long kitchen island, deeply engrossed in a debate about sports statistics, while Sophia sat next to them, casually scrolling through her phone and typing out her resume to send to Eugene. "Good morning," Eugene’s deep, commanding voice rumbled from the doorway. The entire kitchen went quiet for a split second as he walked in. Even in a simple navy polo shirt and dark trousers, he carried an undeniable authority t

    Flora's POV Sophia didn't hesitate. She threw her arms around me, pulling me into a tight, fierce hug that caught me completely off guard. "Don't you dare let that woman get inside your head, Flora," Sophia whispered urgently against my shoulder, her voice vibrating with protective anger. "She is using the only weapon she thinks she has left, which is guilt. But she doesn't have any real power here. Not unless you let her." I pulled back, wiping a stray tear from my cheek, feeling a massive wave of relief just having everything out in the open. "I know. I told her off in the hallway. I told her to go ahead and tell Emily. But Sophia... the thought of Emily looking at me with hatred? It makes my stomach twist into knots." "Then don't give Victoria the satisfaction of controlling the narrative," Sophia said firmly, her sharp corporate mind instantly switching into problem-solving mode. "You and Eugene need to talk to Emily. Together. It has to come from you two, completely on your

  • Falling for My Best Friend's Dad   Chapter 64 - WHISPERS OF THE DARK

    Flora's POV The rest of the night was an absolute blur of laughter, shouting over board game rules, and empty snack bowls. It was a massive success. For a few beautiful hours, the heavy dark cloud over the house completely vanished. I sat on the carpet, entirely squeezed between Emily and Sophia, feeling a sense of warmth I hadn't felt in a very long time. "I am telling you, Marcus cheated!" Sophia laughed loudly, throwing a decorative pillow across the lounge at her boyfriend. "There is no way you had that many property cards hidden under your coaster." "Hey, it's called strategy, babe," Marcus grinned, ducking as the pillow bounced off his shoulder. "Vance Financial material right here, Mr. Vance." Eugene was sitting in the single armchair near the corner, a glass of bourbon in his hand. He wasn't playing, but he was watching us, his lips tucked into a rare, subtle smile. Every time my eyes drifted to him, my stomach did a little flip. *I love him.* The realization was still hu

  • Falling for My Best Friend's Dad   CHAPTER 63: AFTERGLOW AND ULTIMATUMS

    Flora's POV The cool night air hit my bare back as Eugene slowly let my feet touch the stone floor. My knees buckled instantly, completely weak from the intensity of what we’d just done, but his heavy arms caught me around the waist, holding me up against his chest until I found my balance. For a long moment, neither of us said a word. The only sound was our ragged breathing syncing up in the darkness, and the faint, muffled thud of a bassline coming from the lounge inside. I leaned my forehead against his shoulder, my heart hammering a frantic rhythm. My skin was hot, my mind completely spinning from the revelation that had hit me in the middle of the heat. *I love him.* The words felt massive, terrifying, and completely undeniable now. I smoothed down my white sundress, my fingers trembling as I adjusted the fabric, while Eugene fastened his trousers with a slow, deliberate calmness that didn't match the fierce look still burning in his dark eyes. He didn't let me step away. Hi

  • Falling for My Best Friend's Dad   CHAPTER 62: TREMORS

    Flora's POV My legs were shaking so violently I wasn't entirely sure they would support my weight. Beneath the table, my thighs were still tingling, the phantom sensation of Eugene’s heavy, calloused hand still burning into my skin. Across from me, Sophia was happily launching into a detailed breakdown of her corporate thesis, her eyes bright and completely oblivious. Next to her, Marcus was nodding along, and across the table, Emily was leaning into Josh’s side, smiling softly. They were all perfectly normal. And I was sitting here, drowning in my own heat, completely wrecked by the man sitting less than a foot away from me. I kept my hands locked around my glass of lemonade, my knuckles practically white. I didn't dare look to my left. I could feel the absolute gravity of Eugene's presence, the quiet, arrogant satisfaction radiating off him as he casually sipped his wine and listened to Sophia. He was a monster. A beautiful, wicked monster who had just thoroughly compromised me

  • Falling for My Best Friend's Dad   CHAPTER 61: THE SLIP

    Eugene's POV "Dad, you actually outdid yourself," Emily said, happily piling grilled chicken onto Josh’s plate. "This is incredible." "I know how to manage a grill, Emily," I replied, sitting back in my chair at the head of the table. Flora was sitting right next to me, at the other side of my chair, with Emily sitting opposite her. She cleared her throat, her cheeks still sporting that light pink blush as she caught my eye. "Eugene," Flora said, her voice clear and formal for the sake of the table. "I didn't get a chance to properly introduce everyone. You know Josh, of course. But this is Marcus from college, and his girlfriend, Sophia." Marcus stood up halfway, extending a hand across the table with a respectful smile. "It’s an honor to meet you, Mr. Vance. Flora’s told me a lot about the firm." "Nice to meet you, Marcus," I said, shaking his hand with a firm grip. I looked at him, then glanced at Sophia, who gave a polite nod. A heavy, quiet sense of satisfaction settled i
