As in the picture, I would force a line break when I have one word after the dot, for a aesthetic issue, but especially as a matter of good reading.
It's possible?

This works too (*same situation - you don't want a text break after a single word. My solution to that is to select the first two words, wrap them with a span with a class and don't let that text break):
<style>
section{
width:500px;
float:left;
font:14px;
}
.first-two-words2 {
font-style:italic;
white-space: nowrap;
}
</style>
<script>
$(document).ready(function($) {
$('span').html(function (i, html) {
return html.replace(/(\w+\s\w+)/, '<span class="first-two-words2">$1</span>')
});
});
</script>
<section>
<span>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, in luctus, at eros nec turpis, malesuada massa vel purus nonummy, lorem quis neque,lorem quis neque, lorem quis zz.
</span>
<span>
Neque ac, ut nunc dui mattis sollicitudin arcu, sed sollicitudin scelerisque enim a.
</span>
<span>
Praesent sit urna ipsum, tortor integer elit in convallis pulvinar mauris.
</span>
</section>

How about this:
$('p').html($('p').text().replace(/\.\s/g, '.<br>'));
And here's the JSBin demo for it: http://jsbin.com/sapate
In css we currently don't have any word-based pseudo elements. It would be nice to have something like:
section div::first-word {
page-break-after: always;
}
I think a solution is to do this with jquery:
<script>
$(document).ready(function($) {
$('span').each(function() {
var word = $(this).html();
var index = word.indexOf(' ');
if(index == -1) {
index = word.length;
}
$(this).html('<span class="first-word">' + word.substring(0, index) + '</span><br/>' + word.substring(index, word.length));
});
});
</script>
<style>
section{
width:500px;
float:left;
font:14px;
}
.first-word {
font-style:italic;
}
</style>
<section>
<span>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, in luctus, at eros nec turpis, malesuada massa vel purus nonummy, lorem quis neque.
</span>
<span>
Neque ac, ut nunc dui mattis sollicitudin arcu, sed sollicitudin scelerisque enim a.
</span>
<span>
Praesent sit urna ipsum, tortor integer elit in convallis pulvinar mauris.
</span>

After you edited the question, I understand you actually don't want a text break after a single word. My solution to that is to select the first two words, wrap them with a span with a class and don't let that text break:
<style>
section{
width:500px;
float:left;
font:14px;
}
.first-two-words {
font-style:italic;
white-space: nowrap;
}
</style>
<script>
$(document).ready(function($) {
$('span').each(function() {
var words = $(this).html();
var n = words.split(" ");
var i = n[0]+n[1];
index = i.length + 1;
$(this).html('<span class="first-two-words">' + words.substring(0, index) + '</span>' + words.substring(index, words.length));
});
});
</script>
<section>
<span>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, in luctus, at eros nec turpis, malesuada massa vel purus nonummy, lorem quis neque,lorem quis neque, lorem quis zz.
