At 19, Y/N and her dad return home to Wimberley, Texas, after a month away on a road trip around Italy, "a break from the usual routine" as her dad described it, seeing all what it had to offer. But nothing could prepare her for seeing Jensen again.
Her father's best friend. The man she's known her entire life. The one person she should never want.
Between hot Texas summers, family dinners, forced proximity, stolen glances and a tension neither of them can ignore, the line between forbidden and irresistible begins to blur. Because sometimes, the person you want most is the one you were never supposed to have.
A Jensen Ackles slow burn fanfic by deansdarling. Also on ao3. This story will contain smut later on within the book. You just have to be patient 😉

Off Limits
He was my father's best friend. I was the girl who learned too young that some people are impossible to stop loving. Moving into his house was supposed to be temporary. Falling for him was never part of the plan. After my TikTok For You page became completely flooded with Dad's Best Friend stories starring our favorite, Jensen Ackles, I couldn't resist writing one of my own. I wanted to create a story that would keep you on the edge of your seat, make you fall in love with the characters, and leave you counting down the days until the next chapter. Before you begin, please keep in mind that English isn't my first language. There may be a few mistakes along the way, and I truly appreciate your patience and understanding. Most importantly, I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I've enjoyed creating it. So, get comfortable, turn the page, and welcome to Off Limits.

"Some stories don't begin with love at first sight. They begin with years of knowing someone... until one day, everything changes." You're nineteen, and your dad's longtime best friend has spent years convincing himself you were just the girl he watched grow up. Then one afternoon in the kitchen, a batch of cupcakes changes everything. What begins with stolen glances and almost-accidental touches slowly becomes something neither of you knows how to ignore. Every mile of an unexpected three-day road trip, every quiet conversation, every shared coffee, autumn festival, snow-covered Saturday, and whispered "this can't happen" only makes staying apart harder. The hardest part isn't falling for each other. It's pretending you didn't. A cozy, small-town slow-burn romance about timing, friendship, and discovering that sometimes the person who has always felt like home is the one you never expected to fall in love with. Tropes: fanfic/age gap/dads best friend/sfw/forbidden/slow burn/unspoken feelings/ (this is a beau arlen fanfic I started posting on tiktok) it's my first time writing so please keep that in mind <333Complete

Where Duty Ends
He was the sheriff every person in town trusted. Calm. Respected. Unshakable. For over twenty years, he'd built his life on duty, honor, and never letting his emotions get in the way of the badge. Then one late-night call changes everything. When he's first on the scene of a devastating car accident, he expects another routine rescue-until he recognizes the wrecked car. Yours. From that moment on, he can't seem to walk away. He tells everyone he's only finishing paperwork. That he's just checking on the victim. That it's his job. No one believes him. Not the nurses who watch him spend night after night in the hospital. Not the deputies who notice he's quieter than usual. And certainly not you. What begins as concern slowly becomes something neither of you is willing to name. But in a town where everyone knows everyone, falling for your best friend's daughter isn't just complicated... It's forbidden. Some promises are made to be kept. Some lines are never meant to be crossed. And sometimes, the hardest person to protect... is your own heart.

Off Limits I
Your dad has one rule for the summer: stay busy, stay out of trouble and work at the country club as a cart girl. It should've been simple. Until Beau Arlen starts showing up every day. You're 21. Your father's best friend is twice your age, completely off-limits and far too observant for your own good. The hundred-dollar tips. The lazy darlin's. The lingering looks. The way every conversation feels like a challenge neither of you is willing to lose. What starts as tension quickly becomes something neither of you can ignore. But Beau isn't the only problem. Someone knows exactly what is happening between you and they're willing to use it against you. Rumors begin spreading. Secrets come to light. Jealousy turns friendships into rivalries while someone determined to keep you and Beau apart starts pulling strings from behind the scenes. When threats and blackmail put everything you've been trying to hide at risk, keeping your relationship secret becomes more than a matter of protecting your father's trust. It becomes a matter of protecting each other. The closer you and Beau become, the messier everything gets. Manipulation, betrayal, jealousy and buried secrets force you both to question who you can actually trust and how much you're willing to sacrifice for each other. You were never supposed to fall for him. And now that you've crossed the line, someone is determined to make sure you pay for it. Face claim: Jensen Ackles as Beau Arlen.Complete

And when the con lights dim and reality threatens to pull you apart, he has to decide: does he let you walk away like a fleeting fan moment... or chase something real?
