LOGINOne night of heavy drinking, a forbidden man, and a desire that refuses to be controlled. Theresa Michaels has just ended an eighteen-month engagement after catching her fiancé in a compromising situation. To drown her sorrows, she gets drunk in an upscale nightclub, determined to forget her broken heart. What she didn’t expect was to be rescued by Hector, an irresistible man. He’s protective, dominant…and her father’s best friend. What happens when the attraction between them explodes?

He nodded, taking her tequila glass to pour her another shot. "Don't you think that's enough for today?" A hoarse, baritone voice sounded near Theresa. She turned to see who the owner of the deliciously sexy voice was, the one who wanted to deprive her of having a wild night of drunkenness. But what she found was a delicious, succulent torso hidden by a tight dress shirt that allowed her to count every ab on his stomach. She bit her lower lip with desire. "Oh, Bartender, this handsome guy here is trying to forbid me from celebrating my emotional freedom," she complained to the bartender, pointing at the man behind her. "Salvior, I'm taking her home. Take care of things here." The bartender nodded in agreement. The man pulled her by the arm, leading her out of the nightclub. Theresa stammered in complaint, but she didn't have enough strength to fight against the man. He took her to his sports car and carefully settled her into the passenger seat, putting the seatbelt on her. He walked around the car and settled into the driver's seat. Before starting the car, he took his phone and called Theresa's father, who answered on the first ring. "How is my daughter?" "She's fine, she's sleeping in the passenger seat. I'm taking her home." "Thank you for taking care of her, Hector." "No need to thank me, Johan. That's what friends are for." Hector ended the call, started the car, and headed for the apartment where Theresa lived. In her dream, Theresa relived the fateful day she had had. She was walking with anxiety and determination on the sidewalk of the busy street where her fiancé lived. She wanted to surprise him, hence the uncontrollable excitement. They had been together for seven years, but had only been engaged for about a year and a half. Throughout their relationship, Ryan had always been a caring and affectionate guy, however, lately Theresa had noticed her fiancé becoming increasingly distant. She had even suspected he was cheating on her, but could never prove it. Despite all these hurdles, she loved him, and that was all that mattered. Deep in her heart, Michaels knew there was no turning back and that they were only together out of convenience. Entering the building where Ryan's apartment was located, she took a deep breath, leaving the entrance hall and walking towards the elevators. Entering an elevator alone, Theresa wrung her hands, trying to dissipate the bad feeling that overcame her at that moment. She breathed in deeply through her nose and out through her mouth in a calmer sigh. It really did calm her nerves. Hearing the ping of the elevator announcing it had reached the desired floor, she opened her eyes and stepped out. The empty, silent hallway reminded her of happy moments she had spent with her then-boyfriend, now fiancé. He really wasn't the same person as before. Lost in thoughts of a time that could no longer return, she finally realized she had reached Ryan's apartment door, but to her utter disbelief, the door was slightly ajar. Without thinking straight, she pushed the door open and was faced with a scene that, for Theresa, was one of terror. Ryan was sitting on the sofa with his back to the door; his hoarse moans could be heard loud and clear. A woman was kneeling in front of him with his dick in her mouth. "Ahhh, you whore!... Yeah, suck it... Ahhh... You're going to be the death of me," Ryan moaned between words. Theresa expected anything but what was in front of her. She wanted to stop looking but unfortunately couldn't, or fortunately. She remained silent, waiting to see how far it would go, though what she most wanted to know was who the slut was who was sucking her fiancé. It was as if something held her like a statue, watching the scene before her eyes. Her eyes, teary with unshed tears, blurred her vision, but she kept her eyes fixed on Ryan and the slut sucking him off. "Ahem," Theresa cleared her throat, unable to bear watching the degrading scene unfolding with the utmost naturality in front of her any longer. Ryan was startled, turned his head towards the sound, and jumped in surprise. His expression changed in seconds to that of a nearly-gazing, repentant dog. "It's over." Those were the only words Theresa Michaels had for her now ex-fiancé. She didn't wait for his lame excuse, she left his apartment with her head held high and determined steps. As soon as Hector parked his car in the underground parking garage of the building where Theresa lived, he looked at the young woman asleep in the passenger seat of his sports car. Her calm breathing was a balm compared to the avalanche of feelings he was experiencing at that moment. "Holy shit! Theresa has become so beautiful and hot," Hector thought, observing Theresa's serene face. He got out of the car, walked around to the passenger door, opened it, unbuckled Theresa's seatbelt, and picked her up in his arms. She nestled into Hector's chest, and he let out a small, hoarse groan of satisfaction at having her in his arms. He smelled a scent of strawberries and honey coming from her, which instantly aroused him, but Hector couldn't have her. Theresa Michaels was the daughter of his best friend. He shook his head slightly in an attempt to dispel such thoughts from his mind. He entered the elevator with her in his arms. His dick was uncomfortable in the dark blue jeans he was wearing, but he tried to ignore that fact. He thought of anything he could to try and lower his erection, however, none of it worked. When they finally reached the floor where Theresa's apartment was located, Hector hurried out, walking down the empty hallway. He took the key from the bag she was carrying and opened the apartment door. As soon as they entered the place, Theresa's scent invaded his nostrils, making him increasingly attracted to his best friend's daughter. He took her to her bedroom, placing her carefully and gently on the bed. Hector watched her for a few minutes after covering her with a comforter. "You really get to me, girl," he thought, heading to the guest room. He wouldn't leave her alone that night.Chapter 56Albia fled that night.She drove to her apartment with trembling hands on the wheel. When she arrived, she locked the door, leaned against it, and slid to the floor, hugging her knees to her chest.“No…” she whispered into the emptiness of the apartment. “This can’t be happening. He’s Theresa’s father. He’s… Johan.”But Johan’s words echoed in her mind like a bell: I’m not your uncle. And you know very well that I no longer see you as a girl.She felt a treacherous heat settle between her legs. She squeezed her thighs together tightly, trying to ignore the wetness beginning to form. She stood up with difficulty, went to the bathroom, and turned on the cold shower. She stood under the icy water for nearly twenty minutes, but the heat inside her didn’t fade.When she finally lay down in bed, wrapped in a towel, the desire had already been planted.And it was growing.In the following days, Albia tried to avoid Johan.She canceled two dinners with flimsy excuses. She said she
Chapter 55It was during a simple dinner at Johan’s house on a Tuesday night, three weeks after Theresa’s pregnancy revelation. Autumn was already settling over the city, bringing a cool breeze that entered through the open veranda windows. Johan had prepared a roast beef with vegetables — one of his few culinary specialties — and Albia had brought a bottle of red wine and a fancy arugula, pear, and walnut salad.They were dining alone. It wasn’t unusual now. Ever since Theresa got pregnant, Albia had become an almost constant presence in Johan’s life. She brought company documents, organized his schedule, prepared meals, and, above all, talked. They talked about everything: about the college she had finished, about Theresa’s fears regarding motherhood, about the silence Johan still carried regarding his daughter’s marriage.That night, however, something was different.Albia was telling a funny story about a college professor who insisted on calling her “Miss Michaels” even though he
Chapter 54Albia, who was present at dinner, cried as much as Theresa. She hugged her friend tightly, then hugged Johan, who returned the gesture with a naturalness that surprised everyone.“I’m going to be an aunt!” Albia exclaimed, laughing through her tears. “Aunt Albia. That sounds good, doesn’t it?”That night marked a real turning point for the family. For the first time in almost a year, the dinner didn’t end in tension or uncomfortable silences. It ended with laughter, plans for the baby’s room, discussions about names, and Johan promising to teach his grandchild to play chess as soon as he was old enough.Albia, who had become almost like a daughter to Johan throughout the reconciliation process, began visiting his house more frequently.At first, it was just to help. She brought homemade meals because she knew Johan had been living on takeout since Theresa got married. Then she started helping with the company paperwork — Johan had a small construction company that had been
Chapter 53Beginning of the Second CoupleThree months after the wedding.Life finally seemed to have found a calmer rhythm for Theresa and Hector. The new apartment they had bought together — a spacious loft with a view of the river — was gradually turning into a real home. Boxes still cluttered the corners, pictures waited to be hung, but the smell of fresh paint and new happiness filled every room.That Sunday morning, Theresa woke up with a strong, familiar nausea. She ran to the bathroom, knelt in front of the toilet, and vomited what little she had eaten the night before. When she finished, she sat on the cold floor, leaning against the wall, her heart racing.Hector appeared at the bathroom door within seconds, wearing only sweatpants, his hair messy from sleep. His dark eyes filled with concern when he saw her pale face.“Angel… again?” he asked, kneeling beside her and carefully holding her hair. “This is the third day in a row. You need to see a doctor.”Theresa wiped her mo

Chapter 47They didn't confess. Not yet.Hector lied with the professional coldness of someone who had faced far greater crises than this one. His face remained impassive, his voice controlled, almost clinical, while he held Johan's furious gaze from across the room."It's not what you're thinking,
Chapter 45The police called Johan Michaels at 9:47 a.m. on a gray Wednesday morning. The chief inspector was polite but firm: he needed him to appear at the central police station to give a statement about the Ryan Almeida case. Johan didn't hesitate. He canceled two important meetings, put on a d
Theresa felt a shiver run down her spine. There was fear, yes — fear of what this could mean for all of them. But there was also something more primal, darker. Seeing Hector like this — cold, calculating, willing to threaten someone without blinking — awakened in her an excitement she couldn’t expla
