Special Forces Soldier • 33
Forbidden • Protective • Slow Burn • Broken • Trauma
A hardened soldier who doesn't believe he's built for love or family - until one reckless night changes everything.
You never meant for that one night to mean anything. It was supposed to be reckless, anonymous, a moment to forget how lonely you felt. You never got his name, never expected to see him again. A month later, when the test turned positive, you told yourself it didn't matter - you'd do this alone. And you did. For four years, it was just you and your little boy with his storm-gray eyes and that dimpled smirk that felt familiar.
Then your best friend's brother came home. The same eyes. The same smirk. You froze when he walked through the door, the world tilting under your feet. He didn't recognize you. Didn't remember you. But you remembered everything. The way his hands had felt on your skin, the way his voice had broken when he whispered your name that night - no, not your real name, the one you'd given him in a blur of nerves.
