"Can I get you hunks anything else?" The female bartender, a woman in her forties slid over the counter to us, tossing a wink.
I chugged down my glass of scotch and handed it over to her, tipping my head.
"How about another refill?"
"Another? Isn't that like your tenth one?"
"She's right, Donovan," Caldwell said, nudging my shoulders. "Ease up on the drinks,"
"Drink?" I scoffed. "It'll take at least fifty of that to get me drunk. The alcohol is watered down as fu-"
"He'll have two glasses more and that's it," Caldwell interrupted, giving the bartender one of his winning smiles.
We had stumbled on this bar during our college days. Cheap alcohol. A place to sit and talk. There was something about it that kept me coming whenever we we

Camille's POVI climbed down the chair and rushed towards Gav. He met me halfway with a long stride and scooped me up into his arms.I brushed my face deeper into his warmth, wishing I could stay there forever, safe and happy.One of his hands caressed my hair, pushing it aside so he can see my face and the bruise on my neck. I looked up to see fierce hazel eyes narrowed in anger. He traced the bruise with his fingers and I winced in pain."Who did this?"Who indeed.Alan Johnson.And his son, Nolan. "Who, Camille? Talk to me," He sounded agitated, he cupped my face, stroking it with his thumb. Should I tell him about Nolan? My skin crawled in disgust just at the thought of his name. Would Gav

Gavriel's POVCamille mumbled something in her sleep, burying her face deeper into her pillow and I smiled at the adorable sight. What could my kitten be dreaming about?I leaned back in my chair, sighing with contentment while my eyes ran over her body. Her hair was splayed behind her, all over the pillow. She faced me, lying on her side.I hadn't meant to watch her like some obsessive creep. But I had woken up earlier to use the bathroom, and Camille had to be the eighth wonder of the world. I couldn't fucking look away.Not with half her body sticking out of the covers. Her lips were slightly parted, the sweet pink bows, full as ever. And soft. Soft and pliant and willing.And so fucking delicious.I could feel my body slowly stir awake, pushing for more. We had to return to New York t

Camille's POV"Camille, just pick a dress already," Megan groaned, dropping on my bed. "You're going to court, not a fashion show.""I know," I scoffed, holding up two dresses in front of the mirror. "That's exactly why I need to be careful what to wear right? I don't want the jury ruling against Gavriel because I look like a hobo."It had been a week since the whole fiasco with Alan. And Nolan, but frankly, we don't talk about that. I would rather not talk about that.I hadn't seen him around after the walk to Megan's home. I had feared that I would see him regularly at work since he had said he was interested in taking over the family business. But he did not show up all week and I was fine with that."This isn't a movie, Camille. I doubt anyone would notice what you're wearing. All they're interested in is Gavriel,"

Camille's POVShit.Gavriel scrambled away from me as if I had burned him. I looked up to see the look of shock on his face as he stared at his son."N-Nolan,"The man at the door gritted his teeth in a loud irritation that terrified the crap out of me. Suddenly I felt too vulnerable, naked. I reached for the blanket on the bed and tried to wrap it around me. That somehow seemed to trigger Nolan and he moved."You bitch!" He bellowed, storming towards us. Gavriel stepped before me, shielding me away from him. "This was why you said no to me? You were fucking my father?! How dare you?!"*Nolan," Gav called, a stern look on his face. He grabbed his pants and yanked them on. "Nolan, calm down."Nolan let out a loud yell of frustration, glancing around the room furtively. I watched him rush towards a gl
Last Updated : 2024-10-23Craving my Dad's Billionaire BestFriend Trouble after trouble
Gavriel's POVThere had to be nothing more painful in life than hearing your son say he would never forgive you. I watched Nolan walk away, stomping on the shards of glass, wood, and plastic he had created all through the hallway. There was a madness in his gait. A madness I was afraid of. I had been afraid of the minute he was returned to me after Victoria kidnapped him years ago."Nolan," I called out but hell, it sounded feeble to my ears, too. What could I possibly say that would make him calm down?I dragged a hand down my face. There was a constant headache threatening to split my head in two. I could have done better. I could have handled it better! What the hell was wrong with me, dammit!No, I clenched my jaw, staring at the shards all over the floor. I tried. I fucking tried. I had to protect Camille. The wo

Camille's POVI slipped on my dress, a bit grumpy, a bit scared, and a thousand other emotions pulsing through me. That was a roller coaster. I couldn't help but replay Nolan finding out about us in my head over and over again. What on earth would happen now?Was I even ready for the public to find out about us?I sighed, staring at the mirror before me. Tonight was supposed to be perfect. Wonderful.I had wasted all that energy and time trying to look good only to have everything flashed to the ground by a guy who couldn't accept no for an answer. Perhaps I should have told Gavriel about it all from the very beginning. Maybe things wouldn't have escalated the way they did.Or maybe they would have turned out worse.There was no way I could find out. It was too late to worry about all that now, I just had t
Last Updated : 2024-10-25Craving my Dad's Billionaire BestFriend Who is behind Alan's death?
Gavriel's POV"Are you ready sir?" My PRO glanced at me, nervous as hell. He was a young man, probably a few years older than Nolan. Young as he was, he was tenacious. He handled my publicity like a pro.I sat in my office, back against the landscape of the city behind me. The police were just outside, ready to walk in and ask me a bunch of questions. About Alan Johnson's death.He was dead. I had found that out last night and it still felt surreal. I drove down to the police station after I dropped Camille off and they'd wheeled his dead body out for me to see and confirm before carrying him off to the morgue.They say he was poisoned.Poisoned."Sir?"I glanced around the office. It was supposed to be a quiet interrogation and we didn't want the public getting a kic

Camille's POV"Dad?"I paused on the stairs staring at my father. He was supposed to be back at his company's headquarters in California. At least that was where he told me he was going last night.Now he had a tee shirt on and looked like he was lounging in the living room, sitting before his laptop."Hey honey," He greeted, tossing me a smile. "Sleep well?"I did sleep well. What I did not understand was why he was still home. I had told Gavriel and we had plans to spend the night at his place instead. Now those plans were ruined. "What about the trip to headquarters?"I tried to play it as subtly as I could. My father had been... What was the word for it? Extra attentive? Yeah, he had been extra attentive. Especially after that call with Nolan.

Craving my Dad's Billionaire BestFriend Happy ever after
Third POVThe city of New York had never felt such pomp or excitement in a long time. And that was such a profound statement because exciting things happened in New York all the time.However, there was nothing as exciting as seeing America's finest billionaire bachelor getting hitched. Gavriel Donovan had made waves in the fashion industry and even bigger waves in the media. From the scandal involving his ex-wife to his best friend's death, his exposed relationship with said best friend's daughter, and the kidnap incident he suffered some two months ago.For almost two years, the media never seemed to run out of things to discuss about Gavriel Donovan. And on that very day, before God, men and backbiters alike, Gavriel Donovan would be getting married to the love of his life.Camille Caldwell."This is bigger th

Camille's POV"Wake up, sleepy head,"I woke to murmuring in my ear, a lazy smile on my face."Good morning, baby girl," Came the deep guttural voice that teased my eyes. Hot kisses, trailed down my face, to my jaw, and then down my neck.I moaned lightly when he slid down the bed to brush his mouth against my exposed breasts."Good morning, Gavriel,"My eyes opened to see him staring up at me, his eyes bright and mischievous. The past few days had been bliss. Pure bliss."Well, look who is finally awake," He teased, holding my gaze while his tongue gave a slow hot lick over my nipples.I could feel a blush creeping up my cheeks at the double entendre. We had barely gotten any sleep the night before. I didn't shy away from his gaze. Instea
Craving my Dad's Billionaire BestFriend The proposal
Camille's POVI counted every second until Gavriel walked out of the asylum and slipped into the backseat with me. His eyes were rimmed red and fear gripped me.Had something happened with Nolan?Did he get into a fight and was killed?Crap, all I could think about were gory things. There had been so much death and blood in the past two weeks that I couldn't summon a simple positive thought.At first, I wasn't sure what to ask. And what to NOT ask. What did one say to a man who visited his son in a mental hospital? I wasn't sure. And frankly, I was horrid at this sort of thing.I stuck with calling his name and taking his hand in mine. He gave a wane smile, squeezed my hand, and returned his gaze to the window while Dane pulled out of the driveway.The d
Craving my Dad's Billionaire BestFriend In the asylum
Gavriel's POV"Okay," She whispered. "That's good. You should have seen him. He was very... distraught when he saw you dying."He was?That was relieving.After a hearty lunch with her, Chad and Megan went off to who knows where. Camille climbed into bed with me, her head on my chest, while her hands stroked my chest gently."You're thinking too deeply," I murmured when she sighed. "What is it?"Her blue eyes looked up at me, flickering with concern. "Do I have to go with you to see him?"Nolan. I smiled at her and pressed my lips to her forehead. "It's fine. You don't have to come with me.""Thank you,""Oh come on," I murmured. "I wasn't going to make you come with me either way.""Re
Craving my Dad's Billionaire BestFriend Nolan's new home
Gavriel's POV"Oof!" I grunted when Camille threw herself at me, wrapping her arms around my neck and sobbing into my chest.Her tears made me feel like an asshole. I heard her. All while I was stuck in the damned coma, I heard her talk to me. Her voice was mostly muted and I could barely hear the words properly. But I heard enough snippets that made me ache desperately to see her again."Miss, give us a minute and you can hog him to yourself later," The doctor examining me said with a chuckle, trying to pry Camille off.She refused to let go and I grinned. I feared I would never see her again. That somehow I would lose her. With my free hand, I brushed her hair, murmuring in her ears."I'm sorry darling. I should have woken sooner,""No, no," She sniffed, looking up at me with red-rimm
Craving my Dad's Billionaire BestFriend Her friends to the rescue
Camille's POV"Miss Caldwell, what would you say about the current health situation of Mr Donovan?"Oh great, the press was here. I hadn't noticed them gathering in clusters until I was out of the car. I had gone out to get something to eat. It was noon and I hadn't eaten since noon the previous day. I hadn't wanted to leave Gavriel's side. It wasn't until my eyes felt dizzy and I was certain I would pass out that I had tried to find a diner.Two burgers later and a diet coke in the parcel bag clutched tightly between my fingers, I was standing before some twenty reporters waving their microphones and cameras at me.I had almost forgotten they existed. "What are your remarks on the scandal?""Did you know Gavriel Donovan had a twin brother?"My eyes widened on the
Craving my Dad's Billionaire BestFriend Victoria's death
Third POVVictoria Harrington was done.Done with holding back. Done with keeping up with the mess in her head. She was a dripping mess. It had taken a few trial and error to escape the policemen. They could be incredibly dumb when it came to handling a woman who wanted to pee.Sure she ended up shooting a policeman in the leg and got slammed against the van that was supposed to transport her, but it was just a mere sacrifice she had to make.Right before her was the bane of her existence. Two of them. Gavriel, her ex-husband, and his young stupid lover. Anger surged through Victoria and she gripped the gun tighter, pointing it right at Camille."Victoria," Gavriel's deep voice filled the quiet wardroom. "Put down the gun,"If Nolan hadn't come to pick her up while she escaped the police van, she probably
Craving my Dad's Billionaire BestFriend A determined betrayer
Camille's POV"Are you sure you will be fine on your own?"The woman who helped me the night before was Faye. She had heard my screams while she was in her home and had looked out the window to see what was going on. She hadn't wasted time rushing out of the house and driving down the road like she was some passerby.I would always be grateful to her. She didn't just drop me off at the police station and be on her merry way. She dropped a witness statement that I had been kidnapped and a team of police was sent to retrieve Nolan while I gave my report and the recordings of what had happened with Gavriel.We stayed overnight at the station. The team sent after Nolan returned empty-handed stating that the building had been abandoned. Of course, he ran away. Faye had stayed with me today until the evening. She had been a darling.
Craving my Dad's Billionaire BestFriend His past
Gavriel's POVThe first time I felt hunger in the true sense of it, was when I was sixteen. It had been two days after my birthday and I had escaped one of the foster homes the government had tossed me in. I spent the night in an alley. Found a spot behind a pillar to rest and woke the next morning to some barman chasing me away with a stick.That morning, my stomach felt empty. It growled and grumbled but I couldn't get anything to eat. Not in the trash cans and certainly not from the kindness of strangers. By noon, my mouth was dry, my insides were hot. The next day, my arms and legs were useless, my tongue was stuck to the roof of my tongue. I had a maddening headache and everything started to look tasty.That was hunger. Sixteen-year-old me would not have survived if Old Robert hadn't found me.
