Semua Bab All For You, Daddy: Bab 101 - Bab 110

My legs tremble as Gavin keeps me at his side and introduces me to one person after another. I’m not sure if I should be annoyed or not. On one hand he’s parading me around like a show pony, but at the same time he only wants everyone to know I belong to him. The worst part is that I want to belong to him.I’d worn the dress to get at him, and maybe he was right about me getting off on making him lose his mind. Everyone always says how cool and collected Gavin is, yet somehow, I shatter that control. It makes me feel powerful.Most men just want to get in my pants or for me to be some dirty secret. It helps wash away the guilt of conning money out of them. With Gavin, I don’t have that luxury. Everything I’ve seen of him so far is good. I keep telling myself he’s a job, but it’s a lie. I’m falling for him, and I’m pretty sure my daughter is falling for his son.“Can I leave you alone for a few moments? I need to go get my son,” Gavin whispers into my ear.“What is that supposed to mea

When there’s a knock at the door, I smile as I check the time. He’s early. I’m not surprised, but he told me he might end up being late tonight because of his son’s race. I know there’s no reason to carry on with this cat and mouse game when it comes to Gavin, but old habits die hard.Taking my time, I walk slowly to the front door, making the man wait for absolutely no reason. For someone who has spent the last decade leading men on, I should be better at this whole dating thing, but before now my feelings weren’t involved. It’s normally only a job, and there’s no real investment in it. With Gavin, I’m all in, and it’s scaring the crap out of me. I barely turn the door handle and Gavin is already opening the door on his own and pushing his way into my home.“I need a key,” he says before he’s on me and his mouth claims mine. I moan as he lifts me off my feet and he pins me to the nearest wall. “Fuck, I missed you,” he says between kisses. “Need inside of you.” His words are broken, b

“Ariana, answer the damn door or I’m coming in.”I’ve been miserable without her. She not only took my car the last time I saw her but left the island for a weekend in the city. I know because I kept getting alerts on the charges. At one point, the hotel manager called me because she was trying to buy a three-thousand-dollar handbag, and I told him if he denied her so much as a cup of ice, I would buy that hotel and fire him first.After that, she really put my card to work, but I didn’t give a shit. She could take it all, because none of it mattered without her in my life.I’ve been watching her house all week and driving in circles around the island, stalking her. Every morning when she takes Celeste to school, I follow them. Maybe I should be ashamed of just how crazy she’s made me, but I don’t care. She won’t answer my calls, and I don’t want to show up when Celeste is home. We need to do this in private, and I know once I get my hands on her I’m not letting go. But I’ve had enoug

I stand outside Apollo’s bedroom door like a creeper. I can’t help myself. Celeste isn’t my little girl anymore so I can sneak into her room and sit on the end of her bed. She’s a woman now, and I’m going to have to get used to it.When I hear my daughter’s giggle from the other side of the door, I close my eyes for a long moment and smile. I should be all bent out of shape that my daughter is shacked up in her boyfriend’s room, but the last few weeks have put everything in perspective.Life can be short.I’d never been more terrified than when Gavin got the call about Apollo being in an accident. A car slammed into the passenger side where Celeste was sitting. They had to pry her from the car, but thankfully she’s okay. Apollo was banged up too, but it was Celeste that suffered a major head injury. We’d all been lucky.That night put everything in perspective. For the first time I let go, and Gavin was there to catch me. Everyone’s walls came tumbling down, and Gavin has been at my s

I stare at Gavin in shock. I wasn't sure what his reaction was going to be, but this isn’t it. It’s clear that he doesn’t want more children.“I’m sorry.” He swings back around to face me, and his hands are clenched tight at his sides. “For you, I’ll do it. I’d do anything if it makes you happy.”“You did it for—”He cuts me off before I can finish. “I didn’t do shit for Apollo’s mother. It was a one-night stand, and I was so drunk that night I don’t even remember it. I didn’t want to be with her, but I set her up here to stay. I wanted to give her an opportunity to raise our son together even if there was no way we’d have a relationship. I didn’t do anything for her. Everything I did was for my son, which is something I have no doubt you of all people will understand.”I nod because I do understand what he’s saying. He clears the space between us and takes my face in his hands.“I’ll have a baby with you if it’s what you really want. I’d do anything for you, Ariana. For so long I’ve
