You weren’t supposed to notice him. He’s your best friend’s father—older, controlled, completely off-limits. The kind of man who doesn’t cross lines… and doesn’t let others cross them either. But the moment you step into his house, something shifts. It starts with a glance. A pause. A tension that lingers just a second too long. Then it becomes harder to ignore. Because in a world ruled by instinct, some connections don’t fade with distance— they tighten. And the more you try to resist, the more it feels like you were never meant to.
