Surrendering to my Best Friend's Dad Chapter 33 : Untangling Emotions
*Lexie’s POV*Natasha's voice is firm as she shares her decision. "I have to go back, if I really want this fashion show to happen, that is...""Of course, Tasha," I say, trying to hide the worry in my voice. "You've worked so hard for this. You're going to be amazing.""Thanks, Lex," she replies with a small smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes. "We will see… if I can handle the pressure.""Hey," I reassure her, touching her arm gently. "You're Natasha Reynolds. You can do anything.""Thanks, Lex," she says again, more softly this time. She turns away, and I feel a pang of guilt for not being able to support her as much as I wish I could right now.“Dad,” she says softly as she looks at Noland and he gets closer to her. “I will keep in touch.”With that, Natasha walks away and she leaves me and Noland alone in the room with my mother.The sterile smell of the hospital hits me as Noland and I sit side by side in the room. My heart races as I wait for any news about my moth

*Noland's POV*I can't help but replay the conversation with Lexie in my mind as I sit in the armchair by the window from my hotel room, gazing out at the city below. I am torn between my pride and the undeniable urge to be there for her during this difficult time. I know she spoke out of fear. Her green eyes shimmering with unshed tears haunt me, and I find it increasingly difficult to focus on anything else.Dragging myself away from the window, I force myself to attend to the work waiting for me. Phone calls and online meetings fill the hours, each task an attempt to distract myself from thoughts of Lexie. My fingers hover over the phone, wanting to call her, but my pride holds me back, she is old enough to know what she has done.The incessant buzzing of my phone - Avery's name displayed on the screen - breaks my concentration. She has been trying to reach me all morning, but I have no desire to talk to her. The trust that once held our partnership together has begun to fray,

*Lexie’s POV*As Noland ushers me into his luxurious hotel room, I can't help but gape at the opulence surrounding me. The room is more like an upscale apartment than a temporary living space. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide a breathtaking view of the city skyline, while plush furniture and expensive artwork create a sense of elegance that seems to border on decadence."Make yourself comfortable," Noland says gently, sensing my awe. His deep blue eyes seem to hold secrets that both intrigue and scare me."Thank you," I manage to stammer out, still feeling out of my element in this lavish setting. My gaze falls upon a grand piano nestled in one corner of the room, its ivory keys gleaming beneath the soft glow of a chandelier.Noland guides me through the expansive suite towards the spacious bathroom, complete with a free-standing clawfoot tub that beckons me as an oasis amidst this world of luxury. He must sense my exhaustion because he suggests that I take a bath to relax and unwi

*Noland’s POV*Delight.Lexie reacts so well to my words and touch, and it thrills me to see how well she behaves under my requests. Though I once thought she could be just a dangerous toy to play with, now I feel like I don’t want to let her go. She is perfect for me. The risk was worth taking.“Stand up,” I say calmly, and smile as she shivers but does what I ask. “Open your legs for me, Lexie,” and as she does, I guide her to straddle my leg. “Do you feel this?”She nods quickly. “Y-yes.”I rest both of my hands on her hips and begin to rock her, causing her wet pussy to rub against the fabric of my pants. “You better leave this fabric soaking, I don’t expect anything less.”Her moan is a song for my ears, and I feel my cock twitch already at the pleasure of watching her press herself against me, pleasuring herself while she pleases me. She is the perfect toy, the perfect pet, the perfect partner.Her eyes struggle to stay open for me, and I smile proudly at her resolve. “Sta

*Natasha's POV*The soft morning light filters through the white curtains, casting a warm glow over my studio. Swatches of vibrant fabric drape over tables and chairs, creating a kaleidoscope of colors that reflect my vision for the upcoming fashion show. I'm surrounded by sketches pinned to every available surface, serving as blueprints for what I hope will be my greatest triumph.Yet my mind goes back to what I saw in New York; dad holding Lexie made my vision blur for a moment, and maybe I did not know how to react, but as I am processing it all, my stomach is twisted. My dad, and Lexie. It doesn’t make sense. How? At what time? When did it all happen?‘Come on, Tasha, focus, we have a show to run,’ I tell myself and force myself to focus my attention into the task at hand.My fingers dance over the delicate fabrics, feeling the textures that I've come to know so intimately. It's hard to believe that just a short time ago, my last fashion show ended in disaster. The memory sti
Last Updated : 2024-04-03Surrendering to my Best Friend's Dad Chapter 38 : A Coincidence?
*Lexie’s POV*I slowly open my eyes and am immediately met with a sense of calm that washes over me. Noland's body is pressed against mine, his strong arm draped protectively around my waist. His steady breaths are like a soothing melody, lulling me back to sleep if I let them. But I can't; there's something electric in the air between us.This is the first time I wake up next to him, my body still humming with all the pleasure it felt thanks to his skilled ministrations. I remember how Thomas wanted to be dominant with me always, but his type of dominance was brute and senseless, while Noland’s is so natural, so easy to follow. I crave for exploring more of this darker side of him."Morning," Noland whispers, his deep blue eyes flickering open and locking onto mine. It feels as if he's peering straight into my soul, and it both terrifies and exhilarates me."Good morning," I reply, my voice barely audible as I feel the heat rise to my cheeks. Our faces are only inches apart, and
Last Updated : 2024-04-03Surrendering to my Best Friend's Dad Chapter 39 : Something doesn’t add up
*Lexie's POV*I stand by my mother's bedside, nervously twisting a strand of my long, wavy auburn hair around my finger. Anticipation and hope pulse through the sterile hospital room like an electrical current as I watch her chest rise and fall with each shallow breath. I strain to hear the faint sounds of life emanating from her body, willing her to wake up.‘Come on, Mom,’ I whisper, fighting to keep my voice steady. ‘You can do this.’As if in response to my plea, something shifts within her. Her face, which has been frozen in peaceful repose for weeks, contorts ever so slightly, the muscles twitching beneath her pallid skin. My heart races wildly, pounding against my ribcage as I realize what's happening."Mom?" I question hesitantly, hardly daring to believe it. "Can you hear me?"Her eyelids begin to flutter, and then, as though breaking free from a deep sleep, her eyes open slowly. They are unfocused at first, but gradually, they come to rest on me, filled with recognition
Last Updated : 2024-04-03Surrendering to my Best Friend's Dad Chapter 40 : A Mother’s Concern
*Lexie’s POV*As I watch mom sleep soundly, it feels as if a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, and for the first time in days, I can allow myself to breathe. I don’t allow myself to stay away from her, because I don’t want to miss the moments she wakes up.Doctor Patel said she could take several days to fully recover; most of her strength will come faster, but she will feel like she has run a marathon each time. The days she gets to sleep and rest, are going to help her fully recover."Lexie," my mother murmurs, her voice weak but her eyes bright with life as they flutter open.“Mom, how are you feeling? You should rest more,” I quickly say as I stand up to get her some water. She drinks from the metal straw and swallows slowly."I'm feeling so much better," she yawns and then gives me and Noland a smile. “I just get tired quickly, just woke up and I want to sleep more.”"I am so happy to hear that," I say, gripping her hand tightly, my eyes filling with joy.

Surrendering to my Best Friend's Dad Chapter 59 : Unstable Minds
*Noland’s POV*The harsh ring of my phone cuts through the tense air of the hospital parking lot, snapping my attention away from Lexie, Natasha, and the unsettling news about Eleanor. It's Chris, and the urgency in his voice is palpable."Noland, I've traced the location of the rental car," Chris says, his words punctuated by a gravity that sends a chill down my spine. "It's an abandoned building on the outskirts of the city. I am heading there now."I glance at Lexie and Natasha, their expressions a mix of determination and concern. "Stay here with Carol. It might be dangerous," I urge, my protective instincts surfacing.They exchange a glance before Lexie steps forward, her eyes unwavering. "We're not staying behind, Noland. Whatever's happening, we're in this together."Natasha nods in agreement, her eyes reflecting a determination that matches Lexie's. I hesitate for a moment, realizing the gravity of the situation. In the end, I concede. "Fine, but stay close, and do exact
Surrendering to my Best Friend's Dad Chapter 58 : Unveiling Shadows
*Lexie’s POV*The hospital's parking lot is a quiet backdrop to the turmoil brewing within me. Leaning against Noland's car, I scan the entrance for him. The busy steps of the people coming in and out of the hospital are numbing my senses. The cool afternoon adds an extra layer of unease to the already tense atmosphere. Natasha paces beside me, her vivacious energy subdued by frustration and worry.Carol is watching closely, she is vigilant and observing the surroundings, making sure we are safe.I place a comforting hand on Natasha's arm, hoping to ease the anxiety within her. "What if you try to think who this mystery woman is?" I suggest, my voice a gentle undertone against the distant hum of the city. "Maybe it's someone you had a fight with."Natasha shoots me a grateful look, but her uncertainty is palpable. "I have no idea who it could be, Lexie. I can't think of anyone I've upset that much."I nod and ponder about it, she is right to be upset and angry, and I would be to
Surrendering to my Best Friend's Dad Chapter 57 : Answers
*Lexie’s POV*The waiting room at Santa Barbara General Hospital feels oppressive, the tension in the air thick enough to suffocate. I sit next to Natasha, her leg bouncing nervously as we wait for news about Daniel. Noland stands near us, his imposing presence somehow reassuring even though I know he's struggling with his own turmoil. Carol paces back and forth, wringing her hands as she anxiously waits with us."Any news?" Natasha asks for the hundredth time, her voice strained."Nothing yet," I reply softly, trying to offer her some comfort. As much as I want answers too, seeing her so vulnerable is unsettling.Two police officers stand guard outside Daniel's hospital room, their eyes constantly scanning the area. They look stern and serious, ready to prevent any attempts at escape. The sight of them only adds to the anxiety weighing on all of us.Finally, a doctor approaches us, looking weary yet composed. "Are you here for Mr. Daniel Turner?" he asks, glancing at each of us
Surrendering to my Best Friend's Dad Chapter 56 : Daniel
*Lexie's POV*I sit beside Natasha, our hands intertwined for support. Noland stands by the window, his imposing figure casting a shadow over the room. Robert sits on the bed, the nurse finishing some examinations of his arm. He looks good, healthier, more awake.The door clicks open and Sussie enters, her blonde hair shimmering around her face. She takes in the sight of us, her sunshine personality momentarily dimmed by the tension in the room."Hey, guys," she says softly, trying to sound upbeat despite the gravity of the situation."Hi, Sussie," I respond, attempting a smile."Sis," Natasha breathes, relief washing over her features. "I need your help with something.""Of course, what do you need?" Sussie asks, her eyes flicking to Eleanor, who sits in the corner, a disapproving scowl etched onto her face."Could you stay with Robert while I finalize the details for my show tomorrow? I can't focus on it with all this going on," Natasha explains, her voice cracking slightly.
Surrendering to my Best Friend's Dad Chapter 55 : Unexpected Possibilities
*Lexie’s POV*I pace back and forth outside Robert's room. Lately I have started to worry about so many things, like the possibility that Thomas contacted someone and made that shooting, and if that is true, it means this is all my fault, amplifying my growing feeling of nausea. My vision blurs, and I have to grip the wall for support."Miss Montgomery?" A kind-faced nurse approaches me with concern etched on her face. "You don't look so good.""J-just a little dizzy," I stutter, trying to steady myself. My legs feel like jelly beneath me."Here, sit down." The nurse guides me to a nearby chair, her warm hand on my shoulder providing some comfort. "I can check your vitals if you'd like. Have you been eating? Drinking enough water?"I nod weakly, but my mind races. Sure, I've been stressed, but this feels different – more intense. The nurse raises an eyebrow, clearly not convinced by my response. "Have you considered the possibility that you might be pregnant, Miss?"My heart sk
Surrendering to my Best Friend's Dad Chapter 54 : Good Connections
*Noland's POV*I look at Lexie and Sussie, their faces filled with worry. I can feel my heart pounding in my chest as I try to maintain a calm demeanor for their sake. "Listen," I say, raising my hands slightly as if to steady them from across the room. "Chris and I are going to go to the police station to see what we can find out about this whole mess.""Are you sure that's a good idea?" Lexie asks. Her eyes flicker, reflecting her fear and concern."Absolutely," I reply with a conviction I don't entirely possess. "And I've asked Chris to assign a new security agent – Max – to keep an eye on both of you while we're gone. You need to be safe, I don’t trust anyone now."Sussie nods, her sunshine personality temporarily clouded by the weight of the situation. "Thank you, dad. We appreciate it."I walk out and shake hands with Max, as he has just arrived. Chris already filled him in about the situation. As I prepare to leave with Chris, a nagging thought enters my mind. "Have eithe
Surrendering to my Best Friend's Dad Chapter 53 : Hope
*Lexie’s POV*I sit beside Natasha in the hospital waiting room and hold her cold hand; she is not moving, she has tears running down her eyes but she stays still and emotionless. My eyes are fixed on Noland, who stands at a slight distance, speaking with Chris, Carol, and what appears to be a police officer. The tension in his posture is palpable and I can't help but feel a mixture of concern and admiration for the way he is handling things."Lex," Natasha says, her voice almost faint, "what if Robert doesn't make it through this?"I glance at her, taking in the worry etched on her face. Her blue eyes, which usually sparkle with mischief, are now filled with fear. I reach out, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Natasha, he's strong. He'll pull through this. You know how stubborn he can be."She offers me a weak smile, but her eyes continue to fill with tears."Your dad is doing everything he can," I say softly, watching as Noland continues his conversation with the oth
Surrendering to my Best Friend's Dad Chapter 52 : Someone Else
*Noland's POV*As I step into my home, a wave of energy washes over me. Natasha, Robert, and Lexie are hunched over the dining table, poring over sketches and fabric swatches for Natasha's upcoming fashion show. My heart tightens as I watch Lexie, her hair falling in loose curls around her shoulders, her eyes focused intently on her work. She's been through so much lately, and the last thing she needs is more stress."Evening, everyone," I say, forcing a smile onto my face. The weight of Avery's betrayal presses down on me, making it difficult to breathe. Her actions have put Lexie in the middle of our differences, and I know I need to tell her, but not now. Not with everyone here. I don't want her to worry."Hey, Dad!" Natasha beams, looking up from the table. "We're just finishing up the last details for the show.""Everything looks great," I tell them, trying to sound enthusiastic despite the turmoil inside me. "I'm sure it will be a huge success. Great job to you all.""Than
