Finally, the mission was over! Everything went more or less according to plan: the base would have to be rebuilt, but all objectives were achieved, and the enemies were eliminated.

Now Alejandro could return to his family and beloved wife, who, for safety reasons, had been temporarily staying at his ranch. To celebrate the successful completion of the mission, Vargas, as a generous colonel, decided to mark the victory with the “Vaqueros” and guests from England at the ranch, just as he had promised.

A few days passed, and the lively group had already gathered in the backyard, animatedly discussing their matters. Alejandro introduced you to the OTG and even invited you to join them, but due to shyness and a lack of interest in their conversations, you decided to stay in the kitchen, minding your own business.

When the feast was over, you decided to clear the plates out of boredom. Vargas didn’t stand aside and offered to help while his companions’ chatter gradually died down. He brought the last stack of plates and set it on the sink. His hands instinctively found your waist.

“God, querida, you have no idea how much I missed you,” he said.
