Novels by Helenmaria

When Elyssa's mom married Greg Almendarez - a wealthy businessman who lifted them from modest means into a world of luxury, their lives were irrevocably changed. But that glamour came with a shock she never saw coming: Theo, her new stepbrother - furious, arrogant, and spoiled who hated her for a reason she could never fathom. Their constant bickering ignited the moment they moved into the sprawling mansion. He teased her, mocked her, seized every chance to make her feel small, yet beneath every cutting word, a current of attraction pulled them so fiercely neither could look away. She'd catch fleeting glimpses of his muscular frame as he lifted weights or swam, each accidental view sparking a flutter of desire she quickly suppressed. Theo, in return, watched her from afar, his gaze lingering on how her loose clothes draped over her curvy body, finding her impossibly alluring. One night, a misunderstanding sent him into a rage; he burst into her room unannounced and froze when he saw her naked. The image burned into his memory, haunting his dreams and awakening a desire too intense to deny. The next time they fought, Theo's annoyance curdled into something else. Instead of lashing out, he pulled her close and drastically kissed her leaving her stunned. Then came the night when trust and passion collided, and she gave her virginity to the man she'd once hated above all others. Can they resist their feelings and attraction knowing they're stepsiblings? Can they hold back their lust and longing? And what happens if their parents find out? Will they fight for this forbidden pull, or surrender their hearts to spare their parents from hurt and pain?

— Sai de cima de mim, seu idiota! — gritei, empurrando-lhe o peito enquanto ele me prendia contra a parede. Seus lábios desceram sobre os meus com uma força inesperada. O beijo percorreu meu pescoço, vagando pela minha pele até que uma fraqueza tomou conta de mim. Quando sua mão apertou meu seio, a lucidez voltou de golpe e o empurrei com toda a minha força. — Não! Isso é errado! — reagi. — Minha mente diz o mesmo, mas por que parece tão certo? Diga-me por que não consigo tirá-la da minha cabeça! — Sua voz tremeu de angústia. — Somos meio-irmãos. Isso é tão errado! — Não somos irmãos de verdade, não temos nenhum laço de sangue! — Afastou-se, os olhos brilhando de emoção. — Mesmo assim, continua sendo errado! — Então que seja errado.

"Get off me, you moron!" I shouted, pushing at his chest as he pinned me against the wall. His lips crashed down on mine with unexpected force.

This is wrong!" I restrained. "My mind says the same, but why does it feel so right? Tell me why I can’t get you out of my head. Why all I can think about is f**ck*ng you!" His voice cracked with agony, lips still burning against my skin. "We’re stepsiblings. This is so wrong!" "We’re not real siblings, we share no blood at all!" He pulled back, his eyes blazing with emotion. "Even so, it’s still wrong!" "Then let it be wrong. I don’t care anymore."

« Lâche-moi, imbécile ! » hurlai-je, les mains plaquées contre sa poitrine pour le repousser, tandis qu’il me clouait au mur. Ses lèvres s’abattirent sur les miennes avec une passion dévastatrice. ​Son baiser glissa le long de mon cou, consumant ma résistance. Mais lorsqu’il effleura mon sein, la raison me revint. Je le repoussai violemment. ​« Non ! C’est mal ! » ​« Ma raison me dit la même chose, mais pourquoi cela semble-t-il si juste ? Pourquoi n’arrivé-je pas à te chasser de mon esprit ? » Sa voix se brisa. « Pourquoi ne veux-je que te posséder ? » ​« Nous sommes demi-frère et demi-sœur ! » ​« Nous n’avons aucun lien de sang ! » rugit-il, les yeux ardents. ​« C’est mal malgré tout ! » ​« Soit. Je m’en fiche. » Il m’embrassa de plus belle, affamé. ​Lorsque la mère d’Elyssa épousa le richissime Greg Almendarez, leur quotidien modeste céda la place au luxe. Mais ce changement amena aussi Theo, son nouveau demi-frère. Arrogant et hautain, il la voua aussitôt à une haine farouche. ​Pourtant, sous leurs querelles incessantes et leurs insultes acerbes brûlait une attraction irrésistible. Un soir, à la suite d’un malentendu, Theo surgit dans sa chambre et la surprit dévêtue. Marquée au fer rouge dans son esprit, cette vision éveilla en lui un désir obsessionnel. ​Leur affrontement suivant ne se conclut pas dans la colère, mais par un baiser passionné qui brisa tous leurs tabous. Cédant à l’interdit, Elyssa finit par offrir son innocence à l’homme qu’elle avait tant détesté. ​Entre secrets, culpabilité et désir dévorant, réussiront-ils à étouffer cette passion coupable, ou sacrifieront-ils tout — y compris l’équilibre de leur nouvelle famille — pour s’aimer au grand jour ?

»Lass mich los, du Idiot!« schrie ich, als er mich an die Wand drückte und seine Lippen sich mit unerwarteter Wucht auf meine pressten. Sein Kuss wanderte zu meinem Hals und ließ mich schwach werden. Als seine Hand meine Brust umfasste, riss ich mich los und stieß ihn weg. »Nein! Das ist falsch!« »Mein Verstand sagt mir das Gleiche, aber warum fühlt es sich so richtig an?« Seine Stimme brach vor Qual. »Warum bekomme ich dich nicht mehr aus meinem Kopf?« »Wir sind Stiefgeschwister. Das ist verboten!« »Wir sind keine echten Geschwister. Wir teilen kein Blut!« »Auch so bleibt es falsch!« »Dann sei es eben falsch. Es ist mir gleichgültig.« Er küsste mich erneut leidenschaftlich, und ich gab ihm nach. ___________________________________ Als Elyssas Mutter den wohlhabenden Greg Almendarez heiratete, änderte sich ihr Leben von Grund auf.

Zwischen ihnen herrschte ständiger Streit, verbarg sich doch eine Anziehung, die beide nicht benennen wollten. Ein Missverständnis führte dazu, dass er sie nackt sah — ein Anblick, der sich in sein Gedächtnis brannte und eine Begierde weckte, die er nicht länger unterdrücken konnte. Ihr nächster Streit endete nicht in Wut, sondern in einem Kuss, der alle Regeln brach. Bald darauf schenkte sie ihm ihre Unschuld. Können sie dieser verbotenen Anziehung widerstehen? Werden sie alles riskieren — oder sich trennen, um ihre Eltern vor Herzschmerz zu bewahren?
