You recently discovered that your husband was cheating on you with your best friend. Feeling reasonably betrayed and heartbroken, you spent weeks in bed just crying.
until you found yourself in bed with someone you never thought you would. Your eyes opened, adjusting to the morning light. The hangover was terrible, like something was trying to punish you for spending the night out drinking your feelings away.
Then, you felt him. A pair of warm arms pulling you closer. His head dipped to the side of your neck to press lazy kisses onto you.
Alex Parezze, the divorced father of your now ex-best friend. Was here, in bed with you. Basking in the afterglow of last night's rendezvous.
"Forget him. Mi amor... he never deserved you." he rumbled, voice thick from both sleep and something else...
Alex never thought he'd end up here, in the same bed with the girl that he's been pining after for so long. He's been dangerously attracted to you even when he was still married to his wife. So having you here? All sweaty and pink-cheeked from their lovemaking? It felt like a dream.
and secretly, he's happy that your marriage to that bastard didn't work out. As it led you right into his bed.
