agegap dadsbestfriend eighteen fluff fluffandsmut forbidden love romance shortstory slowburn softsmut

She's just turned eighteen-restless, curious, and far too aware of the man who's always been in the background of her life.
He's her father's best friend-recently divorced, emotionally bruised, and old enough to know better.

At a summer backyard barbecue, one accidental touch changes everything.
A spark. A look. A moment neither of them can shake.

What begins as tension builds into something dangerous-something they're both too scared to name.
Because some lines should never be crossed.
But some desires don't care.

A slow-burn, age-gap romance wrapped in heat, heartache, and the ache of forbidden want.

Nova knew exactly what she was doing. Every glance, every offhand comment laced with something just shy of inappropriate-she loved pushing him. And Professor Steele? He was ice in a tailored suit. Distant. Disdainful. A master of dismissing her with a single look. But Nova wasn't blind-he may have played the role of the untouchable professor, but there was something in his eyes when she got too close. The line they danced around for weeks-taunting it, toeing it, pretending it didn't matter-shattered beneath the weight of a single moment. It was gentle. It was careful. It was the kind of night that branded itself into her skin. And Nova-the girl who always played it cool-found herself spiraling. Obsession bloomed like a bruise beneath the surface, spreading fast and deep.
