Catch Me: Falling for My Father's Best Friend

"Watch it, little girl," He growled, clicking the handcuffs I found myself in a bit tighter. his bare chest pressed against my grungy t-shirt causing me to lose focus. "I may be here to protect you but that doesn't mean I won't punish you"

I look up at the cuffs that were on either wrist, attaching me to the bar in my own closet. How did I find myself here again? "Careful, Dante, I think we'd both enjoy that a bit too much"
