I Fell For The Boy His Daddy Was A Bonus

Chapter 14: The One 

Kaleb checked his mobile just as he entered the penthouse. He thought, ‘She did not reply.’

As he walked in, he muttered, “They should be asleep by now.”

It was already twelve in the evening when he arrived, coming from an entire day of work at the company. He first knocked on the door where Scarlett was supposed to rest, but after hearing no answer, he turned the knob. It was open and the air conditioning was switched off. 

He smiled, guessing how she must be staying with his son at the moment. 

Kaleb bathed and changed into his pajamas before making his way to Liam’s room. Only then did he find Scarlett, embracing Liam as they rested on his bed.

Walking to the side where Liam slept, he leaned over and pecked his cheek. He whispered, “Love you, Liam. Sleep tight.”

He sat on the edge of the bed, facing the headboard and cherishing the view. The way Scarlett held Liam i n her arms, so protectively and lovingly, warmed his heart. He swore he found the one.

A smirk formed on his face, seeing how she was wearing a pooh bear t–shirt dress to sleep. ‘She really likes Mister Pooh.’ 

Soon, his eyes landed on Scarlett‘s full lips. He wound up gulping, just thinking of what he could do with them against his own rims. He exhaled, shaking his head. If he was the old Kaleb Wright, he would kiss her outright, not thinking of consequences, but time changed him. Liam changed him. 

Now, he was wiser. Now, he saw beauty beyond what was visible. The beauty that he needed was right in front of him. She was the one he had been waiting for. 

“Mmmm.” He heard Scarlett moan in her sleep and he swore, it was so inviting. 

Noticing how her hair fell into her face, he reached for her cheek, gently tracing the softness of her skin before pushing back the strands of hair behind her ear. 

“Mmmm.“ Another moan left Scarlett‘s lips, but this time, her eyes also fluttered open. “Kaleb?”
