She never planned to fall for him. Dean was her father's closest friend, the Marine who once saved her father's life, and the one man who was always out of reach. When Ash finally found the courage to tell him how she felt, Dean gave her one answer. No. Not because she wasn't sure of what she wanted, but because some lines were never meant to be crossed. Two and a half years later, Ash comes back into Dean's life, and the distance that once made walking away possible is gone. Old feelings return. Boundaries blur. And the question neither of them has ever been able to answer becomes impossible to ignore. Was it ever the wrong person... or only the wrong time?

A Jon Bernthal AU Fan Fiction ~I always make an OC for my stories but I know there's people who enjoy xreader stories on here and AO3! So, I'll try to use the OC's name the least amount of times as I can! ( It'll still be said tho ) ~ Silva is trying to get into some self defense classes after her apartment had recently been broken into. She has no idea that the gym she's joining is where established Boxer Jon Bernthal frequents. And she won't know ... Until he wants her to. He's been keeping an eye on her since she arrived, her fluffy curls and pink outfits were eye catchers. Her face? The show stealer. Entranced wasn't the word he'd give the feeling she gave him.... Obsessed...? She didn't even have to say a word, just a shy smile and a bat of her eyes.... He was obsessed.

He is her uncle's best friend. Fifteen years older than her. The man who has known since she was eighteen. The man who walks into a room and somehow makes everyone notice. Jon is older, confident, protective, and completely woven into her family's life. He's the kind of man she should see as untouchable. A family friend. A trusted man. A line she should never cross. And yet... There's something about him that makes every rule feel a little harder to remember. The age gap was already a problem. The fact that he's her uncle's best friend? That's where the real trouble begins. Because wanting the one man you're absolutely not supposed to want has a way of turning every innocent moment into something dangerous. Fifteen years older. Completely off-limits. And unfortunately, exactly her type. 🖤

You have spent two years building your life away from home - Whitmore University, your boyfriend, your friends, and everything that makes Conway feel like you. Then summer comes and you go back to Cedar Ridge. Jon has always been there. Your dad's best friend. A familiar face at the dinner table. Someone's you've known for most of your life. Nothing changes. At least that's what you tell yourself. Because nothing happens that summer. Not really. Until Jon takes a job in Conway. And suddenly the man you were supposed to forget is twenty minutes away. You have a boyfriend. He knows your father. They both know where the line is. The problem is that you're starting to wonder what happens when you spend too long standing on it.

** Jon Bernthal fanfic ** **Older man trope** Naomi thought graduation night would be the beginning of her new life. Instead, she catches her longtime boyfriend cheating, gets blackout drunk, and ends the night with a bruised cheek and a broken heart. When her father's stern, older best friend, Jon, comes to her rescue, Naomi's life takes an unexpected turn. Forced to stay under his roof while her fathers on a work trip, she quickly learns that Lawson has rules-and she's determined to break every one of them. He's supposed to be the man protecting her. She's not supposed to start wanting him. And neither of them is prepared for what happens when the lines between them begin to blur.

He's your dad's best friend which deemed you off limits. Or so, you'd think you were.

He was her father's best friend. He'd known her for years. He'd watched her grow up, teased her about every boyfriend she'd ever had, and always reminded her that she deserved better. Jon Bernthal was never supposed to become that person. The person she thought about when she couldn't sleep. The person she looked for in every room. The person she knew she shouldn't want. And Jon knew it too. He knew exactly who Iris was. Michael's daughter. His best friend's daughter. The one person he was never supposed to fall for. But feelings don't care about rules. What starts with stolen glances and conversations that last a little too long slowly becomes something neither of them can ignore. There are secrets to keep, lines they shouldn't cross, and a father who can never find out. Because some people are simply not for you. And Jon was never supposed to be hers. Until he was.
