All Chapters of THE SINGLE DAD: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

To see where we stood.To see if I was going to walk out the door and never come back.Things I would never do because I cared about him and his daughter, those feelings growing stronger each day.What happened between us last night wasn’t all his fault.I knew I was inviting myself to stay in the kitchen rather than go right to bed.And I had known how risky that was, how out of character that was, what kind of challenges that would create for us.But unlike Ford, I didn’t regret a thing.And maybe—just maybe—he would realize that he shouldn’t either.Me: We’re in the middle of making paper flowers and clay vases. Your island is covered in construction paper and glittery pens and stardust. She’s having a blast.Ford: I’m going to have the smartest kid in LA because of you.Me: Her intelligence has nothing to do with me, but thank you for saying that. Seriously, she’s doing fab. After going through one of my cookbooks, she’s decided she wants this fancy egg salad with pickled onions o

And the movement made me remember just how his lips had felt when he kissed me.The strength of them.The way they had tasted just like wine.“In exchange for the muffins, your neighbor gave us some lemons from her tree, so we came home and made fresh lemonade. It was around that time that her ear started bothering her. I popped some soup into the microwave, and now, she’s in bed. Surrounded by all her animals.” I smiled, hoping it would lighten things a little. “Yesterday was a bit more interesting.”“Yeah?”I took a quick peek inside her room and hurried back to the wall I’d been leaning against before. “She’s all good; don’t worry.” I cleared my throat, getting lost in the way he was licking his lips. “Should I tell you about yesterday, or are you sick of hearing me talk?”“No, far from that.” Now, he was rubbing his fingers over his mouth, drying it. “Tell me everything.”“Hold on a sec. I’ll show you. I snapped a pic of her.” I exited out of FaceTime and pulled up my Photos app,

“Dude, I saw the same thing last week,” Jenner said, his eyes now on me. “When she stopped by the office with Everly and I came in to talk to you. The way she was looking at you”—he sighed—“man, there’s no question in my mind. That girl has feelings, and they’re strong.”She had feelings.I could sense that the night in my kitchen.The way she had tried to take care of me over FaceTime.But what the hell am I supposed to do?Put myself first and Everly second?“There’s more,” Brett said.“More?” I wrapped my hand around my empty glass, squeezing it in my palm. “How could there be more?”Brett rested his arms on the table, folding his hands together. “When you gave her the ultimatum, she knew better than to choose you.”“What do you mean?” I asked.“With your track record, she’d lose you to Everly. I’m sure she figured that out. Did she go in through the back door? Maybe. If I were in her shoes, that’s what I would have done. But does it matter? Hell no. Because while she’s been fallin

With her head still tilted back, she was unaware that I’d closed the distance between us until my mouth surrounded the same finger she had just sucked.“Ah!” she gasped the second I dipped to her knuckle, licking the remainder of the sweetness she had left behind. “Ford …”My tongue swirled around her skin, and once it was clean, I pulled her finger out and went in for the cupcake, taking a bite. “Delicious.” I chewed, swallowed. “But not as delicious as you.”She smiled, glancing away. “What are you doing to me?”“What I should have done a long time ago.”My hands gripped her sides, and I was overtaken by the coconut—a scent that now drove me fucking mad.“But, Ford, you’re going to regret this again.” Her eyes were on me, her voice a whisper.Her back was against the island. She was unable to move. That was exactly where I wanted her—caged in by me.“The only thing I’ll regret is not telling you how much I want you.”She sucked in a huge breath. “Don’t.” She paused. “Don’t do this t

She was dripping.Clenching.“Fuck, Sydney.”I repositioned her, moving her ass to the lip of the counter, and I held those perfect fucking cheeks while I thrust in. With her knees bent, I had full access.I could pound.I could twist.I could reach the deepest part of her.And I was—a section of her body that was the tightest.That made her moan the loudest.I stayed in, grinding my hips, circling within her.She was holding our bodies together, her arms around my shoulders, her mouth on mine. I could taste her groans; I could feel them vibrating against my tongue.“Ford …” She swallowed and gasped in more air. “I’m so close.”I reached down and rubbed my thumb over her clit.It was already drenched from my tongue, and now, it was hard as her body began to build.“Ohhh.” Her nails stabbed me, her hips moving with me. “Yes!”As she tightened, her pussy started to suck my cock, like it was trying to pull the cum out of me.“Fuck,” I hissed, doing everything I could to hold off my orgas
