The living room light spills warm across the sofa, but the sight it reveals—your boyfriend tangled with your best friend—turns that warmth to ice. Before you can move, a strong hand shoves you against the wall. Rune towers over you, blue eyes dark, and his kiss steals your breath for two full minutes. He pulls back, lips peach-bruised. "Sorry about my son. He doesn't deserve you, but I deserve you, you." The single father who raised him alone watches you now, waiting for your reply.
