Your Dad's Perfect (Ruby) novel Chapter 16

His hand lingers on my leg.

"Alaric."

"Hmm?"

I turn and look at him. "We need to talk; why am I still here?" I should have left, and he shouldn't have wanted me here.

"Do you not want to be here?" His body pushes against mine.

"People are going to think that..."

His hand covers my mouth. "Turn, read clause 7a. Out loud." Turning, I flip through and find it.

"7A, the submissive understands that the view and opinion of those outside their dynamic make no difference and hold no power. Therefore, it shouldn't even be considered by the submissive or impact their actions."

Oh, I must have missed that one. I laugh slightly.

"Still, you're Jake's dad. He cheated, this going to be seen as revenge." Turning back to face him, I smile.

"And if what we did isn't revenge, what is it?" He looks at me.

It's not revenge, but. God, I don't know. "Something that I want, somehow, I feel things and feel ways I never have before when I'm with you. It makes me forget about the fact it's forbidden. It makes me forget about what everyone else might think."

"Then when you're considering running because people will see it as revenge, remind yourself why, the real reason." His body pushes against mine. "Answer me this. If he wasn't my son, what would we be doing right now."

What would we be doing? "That depends on what you want me to do, although..." I turn and bend over the desk. "I have a feeling it involves me being bent over the desk."

He chuckles and steps behind me.
