The kiss starts slow, deliberate - a brush of warmth that ignites something deep inside me. It builds, gathering urgency, until for the first time in my life I feel it: a primal, aching need.

For him.

My hands move on their own, reaching for the hem of his shirt, tugging it up and over his head before our mouths crash together again. He mirrors me, slipping my top off in one fluid motion as we stumble toward the sofa. His hands are steady, guiding, until I'm lowered gently onto the cushions, breathless beneath his gaze.

"You're so perfect," he whispers, his lips trailing down my neck to my collarbone. "An angel."

He pauses, eyes locked on mine. "Tell me you want me," he murmurs. "Tell me you want me, Sofia. That you want me to fuck you, because I swear to God, there's nothing I want more."

I nod, frantic, trembling with anticipation.

"No," he says softly. "I want to hear it. Say it. Tell me."

"I want you," I breathe, the words spilling out, raw and certain.

I need him so badly.
--

Sofia Reyes has always walked a straight path. Determined to follow in her father's footsteps, she's entering her third year of college with one goal: to become an attorney. Her plans are clear. Her future, untouchable.

Then she meets Salvador Mendoza. Professional. Handsome. Rugged. A man whose quiet dominance both challenges and draws her in - the only one who seems capable of taming her fierce, unyielding spirit.

But love can blind even the sharpest mind. As Sofia falls deeper, she begins to unravel the truth: Salvador's life is built on lies and secrets, hidden beneath that commanding exterior.

Now, caught between her own demons and his, Sofia must decide - can they survive the disaster that's coming, or will their passion destroy them both?
