Surrendering to my Best Friend's Dad Chapter 1 : The Nightmares Will Stop
*Lexie’s POV*I stand in front of Natasha's house, hesitating to ring the bell of the large countryside estate. My heart is racing, and my hands are shaking. I left everything behind in New York, desperate for a change of scenery and a break from my mounting problems. Natasha has always been my anchor, and I know she will understand.I take a deep breath and decide to ring when I catch Natasha running towards me already, as she opens the gate, I am engulfed in a warm embrace. "Lexie, my love! I'm so glad you're here!" she exclaims, her blue eyes filled with concern."Thanks, Tash," I say, my voice barely above a whisper. I am still a bit nervous, but I am happy to be here with her."Come on in," she says, leading me into her estate.A small golf cart comes to pick us up, I chuckle at the serious driver as he takes us to the main house and leaves us right in the front door. Grabbing my hand, Natasha drags me inside and does not stop until we are in the middle of a spacious living r
Surrendering to my Best Friend's Dad Chapter 2 : New Dreams
The door clicks shut behind me as I step into the lavishly decorated room Natasha has insisted is now mine. My eyes dart around, taking in the exquisite furnishings, the plush velvet chaise, the massive four-poster bed with silk sheets. This kind of luxury is foreign to me. I run my fingers along the embroidered throw pillows, inhaling the subtle scent of jasmine in the air. "So, what do you think?" Natasha asks eagerly from the doorway. I turn to face her, still stunned. "It's… incredible. But it's too much, Tash. I can't accept all this."She waves her hand dismissively. "Nonsense. Mi casa es tu casa now. Make yourself at home." I nod hesitantly. Natasha means well, but sometimes her extravagant lifestyle only highlights the vast differences in our upbringings. "Oh, before I forget, there's a gala at the museum on Friday that I must attend. Come with me?" Natasha tilts her head, eyes pleading."Thanks, but no thanks. Not really my scene." I try to keep my tone light. Crowde
Surrendering to my Best Friend's Dad Chapter 3 : Resurfacing Desires
*Noland’s POV*I lean back in my leather chair, steepling my fingers beneath my chin as I review the acquisition documents for the new development. Each clause has been carefully negotiated, every detail scrutinized to eliminate even the slightest margin for error.My phone trills, shattering the silence. “Daddy, can you find where I left the folder I asked you? I can’t seem to find it and I am already back home with Lexie.”I shake my head. “I will take a look around. I hope this information was not left on your uber drive.”The chances are thin, but she needs to be scared a bit in order to pay more attention. “I am sorry daddy.”“We will find it, talk to you later,” I sigh as I end the call and ponder about where she could have left that information. She asked me for one of my high-end estates to see if her company could rent it for events. I told her I could let her host events for free but she insisted on paying."The representatives from Pacific Trust will be her
Surrendering to my Best Friend's Dad Chapter 4 : The Wolf
*Lexie’s POV*My heart races as the limousine pulls up the winding drive of Noland Reynolds’ sprawling estate. After months of struggling to put the pieces of my life back together, Natasha has finally convinced me to join her at one of her lavish parties.Part of me craves an escape from my daily routine, but another part dreads the scrutiny of Santa Barbara’s elite. Their pitying glances and whispered gossip about who I am and what I am doing here at such a private event.Natasha gives my hand an encouraging squeeze. “You’re going to have a wonderful time. Everyone will be busy, and you will get a chance to meet some people and have fun.”I offer her a wan smile, unconvinced. What I am convinced of, though, is to not become an annoyance in her summer, so I will do my best to really have some fun.The limousine comes to a stop, and my breath catches at the sight before me. Fairy lights illuminate winding cobblestone paths, while strains of classical music float on the night air
Surrendering to my Best Friend's Dad Chapter 5 : The Aftermath
The leather seats creak under me as the sleek Bentley glides along the winding coastal road. My heart thumps wildly, Noland's proximity setting my nerves alight.When his phone rings, I start to get anxious. Noland answers in a low murmur, tension etched into the lines of his face. His gaze flicks to me for a brief moment before he turns away, voice dropping further.My breath catches in my throat. Caleb. They are talking about Caleb.Panic bubbles in my chest as fragments of the hushed conversation reach me. ...dealt with...won't be a problem anymore...taught him a lesson. Each word is a blow, cinching my lungs in a vice-like grip.When the call ends, silence engulfs us. Noland's knuckles are white as he tightens his fists, his jaw clenched.I take a deep breath and brace myself for what is coming. "What does he mean by 'dealt with'?"Noland's eyes darken, stormy seas in the dim light. "It's nothing for you to worry about.""I disagree. This involves Caleb, so it involves me."
Surrendering to my Best Friend's Dad Chapter 6 : Sleepless Night
The image of Noland's captivating smile lingers, setting my heart ablaze with a mix of emotions, leaving me struggling to focus on the movie playing before me and Natasha. She seems to enjoy it, and I avoid making comments so she doesn’t notice I am not paying attention.No, my attention is on Noland. His touch, the warmth of his breath against my lips, the way his eyes darkened with desire—they haunt my thoughts, igniting a craving I've long denied. I think this all started that night, many years ago, when he held me close to him during that stormy night. The way he made me feel back then, I was never able to find someone that made me feel like that again. Not until now.A knock on the door makes Natasha pause the movie and we both turn to see Noland there. My heart is skipping a beat already.“Good afternoon ladies. How is the movie going?” He says casually.“Hi daddy,” Natasha is back on ‘daddy’ terms with Noland, which means their relationship is well. “The movie is nice, fun a
Surrendering to my Best Friend's Dad Chapter 7 : Bad Things
*Noland’s POV*Lexie's allure haunts my thoughts as I gaze into the crackling fire. The mansion is still, shrouded in slumber, yet her essence fills the space, my mind refusing to relinquish the memory of her touch, her scent, the softness of her skin beneath my hands. A fierce ache pulses through my veins, an unyielding need that transcends the boundaries of reason. Each moment we spend close to each other only serves to deepen my longing for her, my restraint wavering in the face of a desire I'm powerless to resist. I need to control myself. I need to realize that if I take her, I might damage her with my dark desires.Silently cursing my weakness, I rise and pour a glass of scotch, the amber liquid burning a path down my throat. Anything to dull the ferocity of this craving, anything to temper the fierce battle between duty and passion raging within. The clock ticks past midnight, then one, and still sleep eludes me. My thoughts fixated on the vision of having Lexie in my st
