My Dad's Bestfriend

Chapter 120 There It Goes

Evelyn

As my body seized with tension, his words cut through me like a knife.

Chloeâ€"she was that one perpetual sore spot in our relationship, a shadow that loomed over us, casting its darkness on everything we tried to build. The trauma she left behind, the havoc she wreaked, the way she still haunted our livesâ€"it would never fade. It would fucking linger, an ever-present specter, forever.

"What... What did you just say?" My voice trembled with a mix of disbelief and anger, my eyes boring into Tyler's, searching for any hint of deceit, but finding only amusement dancing in his gaze.

Jerk!

A smirk tugged at Tyler's lips, his eyes gleaming with malicious delight as if relishing the discomfort he stirred within me. He reveled in the chaos he wrought, convinced of his ability to manipulate the fragile threads of our relationship.

I could tell â€" he was fucking enjoying it.

"Well, you don't know how much of an 'arse' guy Jacob is, do you?" he taunted, a chuckle bubbling in his throat. "So, I'll assume he hasn't explored that territory with you yet. I guess he doesn't know what he's missing." His eyes trailed to glance at my ass, triggering my nerves.

"Mind your own damn business, Tyler," I snapped, the words leaving a bitter taste in my mouth. "I don't need to hear about Jacob's past preferences or his sexual history. I fucking know what I need to know, and I trust him. So spare me your feeble attempts to drive a wedge between us. Save your fucking breath."

"I see, you trust him a lot, don't you?" Tyler's amusement only deepened, his laughter echoing in the space between us, grating on my nerves like sandpaper. A gnawing doubt crept into the recesses of my mind, fueled by his insidious insinuations.

I had this question in my head even if I didn't want toâ€"Why hadn't Jacob broached the subject of anal sex with me, especially if it was something he liked?

Was it peculiar that a man who supposedly loved having anal sex hadn't even mentioned it with his girlfriend? Should I just trust Jacob or succumb to the seeds of doubt Tyler had sown?
