Was he always this undeniable ?, maybe he should have been considering he's your dads best friend yet something about him brings you to him every time .

When she comes home for summer, the one man who makes her feel safe is the one she can never have-her father's best friend, Frank Castle. Older, scarred, and fiercely protective, Frank tries to keep his distance. But in the hazy heat of long summers and stolen moments, forbidden desire begins to unravel them both. A slow-burn age-gap romance thick with tension, tenderness, and dangerous temptation. TW: heavy smutt, swearing, alcohol, cheating mentioned, age gaps, sex, slight violence.

Frank Castle is your brother's best friend. After years of shutting everyone out, he never expected to feel the desire to have someone by his side again. He knows you're the last person he should get close to. But when Frank temporarily moves into the apartment you share with your brother, keeping his distance becomes harder than he ever imagined. And soon, the line between what he should feel and what he actually feels begins to blur.

Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) is the new man next door-older, guarded, and carrying a past Y/N knows better than to ask about. What starts as innocent neighbourly familiarity slowly turns into something neither of them can ignore. He knows the age gap is a line he shouldn't cross. Y/N is beginning to wonder why she wants him to.

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. 🖤

Returning to Blackridge was supposed to be temporary. But coming home means facing everything she left behind. Her best friend. Her father. Frank Keller, her fathers best friend. He's older. Off-limits. And determined to keep his distance. Some secrets should stay buried. Some feelings refuse to.
