The Contract Clause: An Age Gap Fake Fiancé Romance with Daddy Kink
He's twenty years older. My boss. My fake fiancé. And the first man who's ever made me want to follow the rules.
When a PR crisis threatens his company, billionaire CEO Daniel Mercer needs to project stability—fast. Enter Alana James, his executive assistant with a sharp mind, zero filter, and a six-month contract. He says it's strictly business. A temporary arrangement. A fake engagement.
But he gives me rules. And I like following them.
Behind closed doors, he's not just the boss—he's Daddy. And he knows exactly how to take control without taking my voice.
I was supposed to play along. I wasn't supposed to beg.
Now I'm the one crossing lines… and I don't know if I want to come back.
But some secrets have consequences that last longer than any contract. And some lies cut deeper than the truth.

Content Explicit sexual content, dominant/submissive dynamics, emotional manipulation themes, and mature language. Intended for readers 18+.
