Bella nodded, looking satisfied. “Alright, now that we’ve got that out of the way, I’m starving. What’s for dinner?”

“How about we order in?” Jennifer suggested.

Bella’s mood lifted, a grin spreading across her face. “Pizza?”

“Pizza sounds great,” I agreed, grabbing my phone. As I placed the order, a sense of relief washed over me. The hardest part was behind us, and Bella’s acceptance—despite the playful teasing she’d thrown my way—was more than I had hoped for.

“So, Damon,” I began, leaning back in my chair. “He’s treating you well?”

Stay calm. You’ll have your conversation with him later.

Bella nodded, her enthusiasm clear. “He’s great, Dad. He’s strong, protective, and really cares about me. Plus, he’s got that bad boy vibe, which is kind of irresistible.”

Alright, maybe a more serious talk is coming…

Jennifer laughed, nudging Bella gently. “I get it.”

I made a face, and Bella laughed. Mischief sparkled in her eyes as she turned to me.

“And you, Dad? How’s it going with Jennifer ? Anything I should know?”

A blush crept up my neck as I glanced at Jennifer , who was smiling shyly. “We’re still figuring things out.”

I wasn’t about to share all the details of what had been happening with her best friend. Some things were best left unsaid, especially the more intimate ones.

Jennifer gave my hand a squeeze. “We’re taking it slow.”

Bella rolled her eyes playfully. “You two are so cute, it’s almost unbearable.”

“Almost?” I teased, raising an eyebrow.

“Okay, it’s completely unbearable,” she laughed. “But in a good way,” she added with a wink.

After a bit, the doorbell rang to announce the pizza’s arrival. I stood up to grab the boxes, feeling grateful for the moment. Jennifer and I had been anxious about how Bella would react, and it was a relief to have that weight lifted. My daughter meant a lot to me, and I didn’t want to keep something this important a secret for long.

We dove into the pizza, eating like we hadn’t in days. Afterward, we cleaned up and relaxed in the living room.

Bella stretched out on the couch, her exhaustion clear. “I think I’m going to head to bed. It’s been a long day, and the jet lag is killing me…”

“Goodnight, Bella,” I said, giving her a hug. “Sleep well.”

“Goodnight, Dad. Goodnight, Jennifer ,” she said, pulling Jennifer into a hug. “Thanks for being honest with me. It means a lot.”

“Of course,” Jennifer replied softly. “We love you, Bella.”

Bella’s smile was warm and genuine. “I love you guys too. Now go get some rest, you both look wiped out.”

As Bella went upstairs, I turned to Jennifer and pulled her into my arms. “We did it,” I murmured, kissing her forehead.

“We did,” she agreed, resting her head on my chest. “I was so nervous, but it turned out okay.”

I held her close, feeling the warmth of her body against mine. “We’re going to be fine, Jennifer . All of us.”

She looked up at me, her eyes soft and comforting.

“I know. As long as we’re together, everything will be alright.”

Her phone beeped, and she pulled it from her pocket, tapping the screen. She giggled and turned the phone toward me, showing me the text.

It was from Bella.

Sigh. You little troublemaker.

“If only she knew just how much of a troublemaker you can be, baby girl,” I growled, and her face flushed deeply.

“Only for you,” she smirked, her eyes burning with desire.

“That’s right,” I grinned. “Now go upstairs to our room. When I get there, you better be waiting for me, completely undressed.”

“Yes, sir.”

    Six Months Later Vincent The last few months had been chaotic, but now, a calm sense of peace had settled over our lives.

    Jennifer Clayton I shouldn’t be thinking about my best friend’s dad.It was completely off-limits, yet here I was, doing exactly that. Again. Like I hadn’t already had this same battle with myself a hundred times.It didn’t start out as anything major, but I guess that’s how these things go. Innocent moments that didn’t seem like much at the time—a quick exchange of glances across the dinner table, the accidental brush of our fingers when we passed a dish at Thanksgiving, the way his voice wrapped around my name, his accent smooth and intoxicating, as though each word were a gentle caress meant just for me.Those tiny moments should have been meaningless, but they weren’t. Each one burrowed deeper into my mind until he became the star of my daydreams, the person I couldn’t stop thinking about before falling asleep at night.Every. Single. Night.But it wasn’t just those moments or even his voice that had me so hooked. It was the way he paid attention when I spoke, the way his pierci

    Jennifer Clayton “Jennifer , are you even here right now?” Bellamy ’s voice snapped me back to reality, pulling me away from my spiraling thoughts.I blinked quickly, redirecting my gaze from the patio door where Vincent had disappeared moments earlier. My best friend stood before me, arms crossed and glaring with a pout that could rival a toddler denied candy.Crap.“I… uh, yeah. Sorry, I just spaced out,” I admitted, forcing a sheepish smile.She raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed. “I was asking if you were ready to go inside, but you completely ignored me. Seriously, where was your head at?”“Nowhere important,” I lied, standing up and brushing nonexistent dirt off my shorts. “Yeah, let’s go inside.”Bellamy tilted her head, studying me for a moment before bending down to grab her towel. “You okay? You seem a little… distracted.”“Totally fine,” I assured her, quickly turning toward the patio to avoid further interrogation. “Just tired. Didn’t sleep well last night.”Bellam

    Jennifer Clayton “No, what about him?” I asked, my voice flat with disinterest, but Bellamy didn’t seem to notice.“He’s moving,” she said with a little too much enthusiasm.That got my attention. “Wait, where? And how do you even know this?”I wasn’t sure why I cared. Maybe it was because she hadn’t grilled me for spacing out earlier or because the topic of boys could keep Bellamy distracted for hours, giving me a much-needed reprieve from my thoughts about her dad.“California, I think,” she replied casually. “He told me in study hall the other day. Oh, and he asked me to give you his number.”I rolled my eyes. “Let me guess—he wants one last shot before he leaves town forever? Hard pass. You know I’m not that kind of girl.”Bellamy burst into laughter, shaking her head. “That’s not how it was with Dane last year.”Her teasing struck a nerve, and I felt my face heat. My gaze darted toward the house, but thankfully, Vincent was nowhere to be seen. I let out a quiet sigh of reli

    Jennifer Clayton “I don’t kiss and tell, Jen,” Bellamy said, her grin mischievous as she leaned against the counter.I groaned, rolling my eyes. “Come on, Bella, you can’t leave me hanging like this. Spill.”She shrugged, clearly enjoying my frustration. “Let’s just say it’s the same guy who was here the other night.”I frowned, trying to piece it together. Vincent had let her host a small party last weekend to celebrate graduation. A dozen or so of our classmates had come over. That wasn’t much to go on.“Seriously? That could be anyone. You had half the senior class here,” I said, narrowing my eyes at her.She smirked, her teasing expression only fueling my curiosity. “Relax, Jen. You’ve seen him around the house before. Many times.”“Wait… Really?” I asked, my intrigue skyrocketing.“Yep,” she said, grinning like the cat who got the cream.“Okay, give me something to work with,” I demanded.“Fine,” she said, holding up her fingers one by one. “He’s tall, has a killer smile, an

    Jennifer Clayton The sun was setting, casting fiery shades of red, orange, and yellow across the sky as I leaned down, resting my elbows on the cool granite counter. My mind was running a mile a minute. Bella was headed for trouble, and not the kind of trouble that would go unnoticed. No, this was big—dangerous, even—and Damon would be dragged down with her if anyone ever found out what was going on between them.I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts. But as usual, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that nothing good would come of it. They were playing with fire, and sooner or later, someone was going to get burned.A throat cleared behind me, interrupting my spiral.I straightened up and turned toward the sound, my heart racing when I saw him standing in the doorway. Vincent . His dark eyes were fixed on me, his face set in that familiar frown that made my stomach tighten. He rested his hands against the doorframe, his fingers drumming lightly against the wood

    Jennifer Clayton “Yes, that.” Vincent ’s voice was firm, his green eyes locking onto mine with such intensity that I couldn’t look away. “Jennifer , there’s no need to rush into dating. You should wait until there’s a man good enough for you.”His words hit me in a way I wasn’t ready for, and I immediately felt the strange pull in my chest—a mix of annoyance and… something else I couldn’t quite place. His gaze was unrelenting, and it did something to me, like a spark threatening to ignite. I stepped back, pulling the towel tighter around me, trying to regain control.“And who decides who’s good enough for me? You?” I shot back, my voice sharp with defensiveness. I didn’t want him making decisions for me. I was the one who controlled my life, not him. But a part of me wondered if maybe I was just pushing back because I didn’t know how to handle the unexpected tension between us.Maybe you should do something about it then, big boy…He raised an eyebrow, his expression a mix of confus

    Vincent SantoroI glanced at Jennifer , her large, expressive eyes still locked onto mine. They were full of questions—curiosity, maybe—but there was a subtle warmth to them that sent a pulse of something unwanted through me.“I’m going to get changed out of my bathing suit,” Jennifer said, breaking our gaze and turning toward Bella.“Sure, we’ll be eating dinner soon, if it’s ever ready that is,” Bella teased, her tone light and playful.“Ten minutes,” I responded, rolling my eyes at my daughter, though a faint smile played at the corners of my lips.As Jennifer walked away, I couldn’t stop my eyes from following her. There was no mistaking it—her every movement was mesmerizing. She carried herself with such confidence, a fluid grace that was impossible to ignore. But I quickly snapped myself out of it, not wanting Bella to catch on.I forced my attention back to the stove, but the task at hand—the sauce simmering before me—was barely enough to occupy my mind.

    Four weeks laterVincent I watched as Jennifer shifted uneasily on the couch. Her eyes met mine for a brief moment, revealing the anxiety brewing within them. She was nervous, and honestly, so was I.Today was the day Bella was coming home from her program abroad, and we had to tell her about us. It was something we were both dreading, and for good reason. Bella was fiercely protective, and the thought of explaining everything to her felt overwhelming. But I knew I couldn’t keep something this important from her for too long.We weren’t that type of family.I moved closer and sat next to Jennifer , gently taking her hand in mine.“We should tell her together,” I said softly, squeezing her hand. “She deserves to hear it from both of us.”“I know, but I’m scared, Vincent . I’m afraid she’ll hate me,” Jennifer admitted, her voice shaky as she bit her lip, her gaze dropping to her fingers that were intertwined with mine.I sighed, running a hand through my hair.“Bella can be intense s

    “See something you like?” she asked, her voice husky and teasing.I groaned, nodding as I reached for her. She came to me willingly, her body pressed against mine. I claimed her mouth, our tongues tangling in a heated kiss. She wrapped her arms around my neck, and I lifted her, her legs wrapping around my waist as I pressed her back against the marble tile.My cock throbbed, desperate to be inside her. She rolled her hips, her pussy slick and hot against my thick length and my hips bucked.“Jennifer ,” I growled, breaking the kiss.“Take me, Vincent ,” she breathed, her voice filled with desire.“I should put you to bed,” I groaned as she rocked her hips again, driving me crazy with need. I wanted to slip inside her, feel the viselike grip of her pussy clamping down around my cock.I didn’t want to be gentle.I wanted to claim her, mark her, and make her mine.She kissed my neck, her teeth grazing the sensitive skin.“Don’t stop,” she murmured, her hands gripping my shoulders

    Vincent The adrenaline from the fight was fading, leaving a dull, throbbing ache throughout my body. The ride home was silent, the steady hum of the bikes’ engines filling the air. It was a comforting noise, drowning out the chaos of my thoughts. I glanced at Jennifer , her face pale and tired, but her eyes still burned with resilience. She was tougher than I had ever imagined.When we finally pulled up, I climbed off the bike and helped her down, my hands lingering at her waist longer than necessary.“Let’s get you inside,” I said softly, my voice low as I guided her toward the house.Inside, I led her to the living room and gently lowered her onto the couch. The soft glow of the lights illuminated her face, highlighting the streaks of dirt and the faint smudges of dried blood. My chest tightened at the sight, guilt washing over me in waves.“Are you alright?” I asked, kneeling in front of her so I could look her in the eye.She gave a small nod, though the exhaustion was written al

    Anthony stepped forward, his voice cutting through the chaos like a blade. “It’s over, Rico . You’re outnumbered and outgunned. Surrender now.”Rico ’s sneer faltered for the first time, a flicker of fear flashing in his eyes.“You really think this changes anything?” Rico growled, though his voice lacked its usual confidence.Vincent stepped up beside Anthony , his grip firm on my hand. “It changes everything,” he said coldly, his words carrying an air of finality.Rico ’s gaze darted around, assessing his dwindling options. His eyes briefly met mine, and I could see the desperation etched across his face. With a frustrated growl, he raised his gun again.And chaos erupted.Anthony ’s men unleashed a barrage of gunfire, the sharp crack of semi-automatics tearing through the night. Bullets whizzed past, and Rico ’s men fired back in a futile attempt to hold their ground. The bikers moved with practiced precision, taking cover behind their motorcycles and returning fire with deadly

    The cold night air stung my skin as Rico ’s men escorted Vincent and me out of the warehouse. They shoved us toward a dark van idling nearby, its shadowy outline blending into the night. My instincts screamed for me to run, but when Vincent cleared his throat and gave a subtle shake of his head, I stayed rooted beside him.My heart raced, and my palms felt damp with sweat. I glanced at Vincent , and the warmth in his eyes steadied me, if only slightly.At least he was here.“It’ll be okay,” he murmured softly, his voice a calming balm against the chaos around us. “Stay close. I’ll protect you,” he added, his words meant for my ears alone.“Enough of that!” Rico ’s sharp voice cut through the air, laced with mockery. He strode toward us, his smile cold and taunting. “Save the sweet talk for when you’re not at my mercy.”They forced us into the back of the cargo van, the metal floor icy against my knees as I climbed in. The door slammed shut behind us with a metallic clang, plunging t

    Jennifer “Vincent !” I screamed, but my voice was drowned out by the chaos erupting around us.I watched in horror as the guard swung hard, sending Vincent crashing to the ground. My heart seized in my chest.No. This couldn’t be happening. He couldn’t be hurt—or worse, gone. He had to be okay. Desperation gripped me, and I fought against the panic rising in my throat. I needed to get to him, to make sure he was alive.Rico ’s cold laughter sliced through the air like a blade. “Looks like your knight in shining armor isn’t so indestructible after all.”My hands curled into fists, my nails biting into my palms. I refused to let fear consume me. I couldn’t just sit there, tied up, while everything fell apart. Gritting my teeth, I started twisting my wrists, trying to loosen the ropes cutting into my skin. The pain didn’t matter. Freedom was all that mattered now.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Rico yelling orders to his men. He wasn’t paying attention to me—he thought I was helpl

    The basement felt unusually cold as I leaned against the wall, watching Anthony closely monitor Luca.I needed a plan, and I needed one quickly.I took out my phone and dialed Leonel ’s number. It rang twice before he answered.“Vincent ,” Leonel said, his voice laced with concern. “What’s happening?”“I need your help, Leonel . We need to expose Rico ’s real operations and clear my name. Can you get me everything you can on his current location and activities? We need solid evidence to turn this around.”I needed everything to corroborate Luca’s story. I had to gather all available information before making any moves. I had learned the hard way not to act without knowing all the facts.“I’ll see what I can find,” Leonel replied, the sound of keys tapping in the background. “But this won’t be easy. Rico ’s been careful. If he’s really involved with North Korean operatives, we’re dealing with international matters, and that complicates things.”“I know,” I said, running a hand throu
