Forced to Marry a Gay Billionaire Boss
“Don’t you want to see how manly your husband is, honey?” he whispered huskily, his voice tinged with seduction. Even in his madness, he licked the tip of her ear as he nibbled it gently.
His breath was hot, and the tip of his tongue was rough, sending shivers down her spine. She tried to break free, but it seemed that her strength was no match for his.
“You’re hurting me, Ace!” she snapped as she squirmed. Seizing the opportunity from his loosening grip to escape from him.
However, before she could spin around, he slammed her body violently against the glass wall again, causing her to whimper as her nose hit the glass.
He was nothing but a heartless fucking gay man.

Chapter: Chapter 30Ace slammed the car door shut with a loud bang, his jaw clenched tightly as his gaze grew sharp and piercing. He ignorantly brushed off the greetings of his employees, let alone the flirtatious greetings from the two receptionists at his office, striding toward the elevator despite his slightly disheveled appearance.“She didn’t even wake me up!” he grumbled irritably. His hands clenched tightly, his bulky, muscular frame stood tall as the elevator doors slid shut and began to move. Paying no heed to his relentlessly ringing phone, he was sure it was Lance calling. He was already forty-five minutes late, and it was all Sierra’s fault.“Just you wait, Sierra, you'll be sorry if we meet!" he hissed again.As soon as the elevator doors slid open, Ace hurried out, his sole focus now on reaching the meeting room as he tried to tidy himself up along the way. He clicked his tongue in frustration; Sierra should have been the one to prepare everything. That was the duty she was supposed to fu

Chapter: Chapter 29Wearing black lingerie, she had been waiting for too long. She was so sleepy she couldn't stand it anymore, yawning as she stretched her arms. Her dull eyes glanced listlessly toward her bedroom door. She had been waiting for almost fifteen minutes. But he still hadn't come to her. She clicked her tongue in annoyance, threw a pillow at the door, and then lay down on the bed.It seemed like he preferred to masturbate rather than ask for her help. “What a lunatic guy!” she muttered scornfully. She didn’t want to imagine what he was doing right now. He was probably jerking off in his room instead of asking her to make him feel better. She heaved a sigh, her eyes starting to flutter shut as she tried to forget today’s events and her totally failed plan.Time seemed to fly by; it felt like she had just shut her eyes and drifted off into dreamland— when the startling sound of an alarm began to disturb her deep sleep. She stirred, stretching her arms to ease the stiffness in her body—

Chapter: Chapter 28Sierra shook her head from side to side, her ears plugged with earphones. Her body swayed, and she didn't bother to stop dancing even as her hands chopped up some fruit.The rhythm of the music made her oblivious to her surroundings. She paid no attention to the stares of the maids and guards at Ace's mansion.She was simply enjoying her day, her lips curling into a smile as she imagined what might happen later.Amidst her carefree antics— in another room, Ace remained lost in thought. He was still undressed, wearing only a towel wrapped tightly around his waist. His piercing, steely gray eyes stared straight at the door, but then the corner of his eye flicked toward the nightstand.The wisp of smoke from the tea Sierra had made for him captured his attention. Drawing a rough breath, he reluctantly dragged his body closer to the nightstand.A sneer curled his lips as he reached for the ceramic cup on the nightstand. Without interest, he stared intently at the tea, then clicked his ton

Chapter: Chapter 27The front of her naked body slammed into the glass wall, her hands pinned behind her back, and she gasped for breath as he kept cornering her. She couldn't move her body, and her legs were spread apart because of what he was doing.“What do you want, Ace?” she spat, starting to feel extremely uncomfortable, especially with her position here, where she was at a huge disadvantage.She couldn’t do anything. Even turning her head was impossible because he was gripping the back of her neck. Her face pressed against the bathroom wall’s glass barrier. The coldness from the glass began to pierce her skin.“Don’t you want to see how manly your husband is, honey?” he whispered huskily, his voice tinged with seduction.

Chapter: Chapter 26She stretched out both arms to relieve the stiffness she was beginning to feel, her forehead furrowed deeply. Her green eyes fluttered open slightly, and she groaned as she found herself having slept for quite some time.She woke up, but her still-dazed state left her feeling groggy. Even glancing at the clock hanging on the wall felt like too much effort. She then tossed aside the blanket that had been covering her body, carefully unbuttoning the blouse she was wearing until it slipped off her body, leaving behind a black bra and tight cream-colored shorts that clung to her lower body, along with her panties, which were carelessly tossed onto the floor.Her feet dragged her way to the bathroom. She planned to soak in the tub, relaxing her muscles in the cold water infused with the soothing scents of lavender and vanilla. She paid no mind to the mess in her room, and it seemed she had also forgotten about Ace for now. From the moment she woke up until she was soaking in the tub, sh

Chapter: Chapter 25Sierra rolled her eyes at Ace, who was always smiling at her. Who knows how many times she had let out those tiresome sighs. She knew his smile was fake. Her husband's acting skills were beyond any doubt.“So, Miss Carlson is married?” Lucas chimed in, breaking the dead air.His face held a curious look as he stared intently at her, paying no heed to Ace, who was acting possessively over Sierra.Sierra made no sound; she merely nodded her head as the corner of her eye flicked toward Ace, who was staring at Lucas emotionlessly.“She’s Mrs. Valentino, not Miss Carlson. That’s the proper way to address her!”Sierra looked back, her brows furrowing at the words that slipped from his mouth. She scoffed to herself; the possessive attitude he was putting on was making her even more sick of him. Maybe if Ace wasn’t acting like this, she’d feel loved and even admire her husband’s possessive nature.“Ah, I’m sorry, Mr. Valentino. I forgot about that because I didn’t see Miss Sierra as someone w

Entangled Fates : The Alpha's Reluctant Mate
"This game of yours is barbaric. How dare you make me play it?"
Karen's anger rose again as she realized it was his own fault for being sore, tired, and bleeding. She could have died if it had not been for that asshole guy.
"I suggest you take your finger out, Karen, and speak to me in a more respectful manner," Xavier warned.
She finally lowered her hand, but she wouldn't back down. What he had done was unacceptable.
"Why did you leave me to fight those werewolves if all that senseless bloodshed was to find a mate? I'm a hybrid, half-wolf! Obviously I shouldn't be there," she said angrily.
"I have my reasons," he replied lightly.
"Damn it!" she grabbed his fur again to make sure.
******************************************************

Karenina resists this unwanted destiny, but fate seems insistent on thrusting her into this union.
In her vulnerable state, Karenina finds herself surrounded by adversaries, and her once-trusted friends remain beyond her reach. Forced to rely on Xavier Westwood, a mysterious and captivating figure with his own hidden agenda, Karenina is drawn into a world of danger and desire.

Chapter: Chapter 112 : Epilogue: Say I DoKaren For the last year after Nathan's death, she lived with Xavier. She had told him that she needed time to get to know him and for their relationship to grow before making a big commitment, and during the time they had been 'dating', he had been giving her several tutors to assist her in adapting to her new life. So many tutors, she thought with a sigh. At first, she only had tutors who helped her explain and control her powers now that she was a full-blooded she-wolf, while others taught her combat and how to fight hand-to-hand, while still others taught her to use swords and daggers. Although she seemed to be making progress after a year, Karen knew that she was far from proficient. It would take years for her to become a fighter and master her new weapons, even though she always carried a bow and arrow. However, a few months ago, she had surprised Xavier by asking how to behave as Luna in the Westwood Pack. She could see the concern and eager anticipation in his eyes when he r

Instead of fighting with her like she thought he would, Rylan glanced at her before looking away. He crossed his arms and started walking back and forth in front of her. This made her upset because she assumed that his weird behavior had something to do with her changed appearance. "Why the hell can't you look at me?" While walking over to him, she grabbed his shoulders and forced him to face her. "Why is it so hard for you to look me in the eye, Rylan?" She demanded, her voice trembling. Why wasn't he looking at her? Could it

Her hardened nipples poked at his muscular chest, her curves fitting perfectly next to his rock-hard body like she was made just for him. It was a piece of perfection. She stared straight at him, meeting the burning intensity in his golden eyes, making her body shiver. That Xavier craved her so much never failed to surprise and amaze her, but it also made her grateful, because she felt the same way. He had seen her naked before, yet Xavier still seemed mesmerized by what he saw, as if seeing her for the first time. Hence, she did not feel ashamed under his gaze. Far from it. In fact, she felt beautiful. She called out his name again. Her body burned and ached. She needed him to d

Chapter: Chapter 109 : A Love Unleashed 1Karen He means it... As she thought with teary eyes, she knew it was true. She could see it written all over his face and in his eyes. All this time, she had thought that he had such little feelings, never seeing a hint of emotion on his face since the first day she met him a few years ago. But she was wrong. Xavier did have feelings, and judging by his expression, he felt a lot of things. So much so, that she could practically hear his heartbreak, and somehow, it only mended her own. The veil that shrouded him had been lifted, and what she saw had removed her resentment for him, taken away her bitterness, and left only the love she felt for him swelling in her heart. As she ran towards him, slamming into his chest, Karen increased her strength, causing his body to be pushed back slightly, but he remained upright and didn't hesitate to wrap his arms around her. The desperation in his hug confirmed his words, chasing away the darkness in her heart. "I forgive you," she whispered into

Chapter: Chapter 108 : Aftermath: The ConfessionKaren One week later after the battle... She was in her room, curled up on her bed, and holding a pillow to her chest. One hand held the pillow while the other stretched out over her bed. Inside her fist was a sacred moonstone. Nathaniel was dead, killed by Xavier, with no help from her at all. She should have felt happy, relieved, hell, she didn't know, at the death of her most bitter enemy. Especially when all her friends were safe. After their moment of heartfelt embrace, Xavier used his remaining strength to carry her back to the pack house. It was the last time she saw him, but she was told that he was recovering and wouldn't die from his injuries. That was two days ago, and she was lost in thought. Her eyes were fixed on her clenched fist that held the gemstone, the sacred moonstone, the heirloom of the werewolf lords. Karen did not need to open her fingers to know that so far she had failed to purify the stone. The gemstone was still black in color, silently indicating that

Blood dripped down across his chin from his mouth - a mouth that she couldn't help but remember kissing and getting lost in - but what brought tears to her eyes was the dagger that had stabbed him in the back, protruding out of his body for her to see. While his blades were partially sheathed in the ground, a line where the daggers had cut into the ground was beyond them, as if he was trying to use his daggers to stop his forward motion. One dagger was stuck in his right leg, stuck firmly, most likely adding to the pain that he was experiencing. Another dagger dug into his left shoulder, and another pierced his left side. A large amount of blood stained his white shirt. Staring into the face of the man she was growing t

"You know, don't you?"
I took a deep breath. His gaze was still on me. "What do you mean—"
"Don't play dumb," he cut me off, and I swallowed.
"I..." I paused and stared at the ground. "I don't know much... I don't know yet."
"Do you know who I am?"
I shook my head. "I know you're not normal." I looked up. "But I don't know why."
His eyes flashed silver as I tried to read his expression, but came up empty.
"I know your eyes change color because of your emotions. But I don't know what it means."
As the room fell silent, he averted his gaze.

Chapter: Chapter 190 : Never-ending LoveRayline. The meeting went exactly as I had expected it to go. Harvey briefly explained the entire situation and what he knew. Basically, all the causes of the riots and rebellion are related to years ago, and the roots have been resolved and dealt with. However, there would be unresolved loose ends and there were still ropes to be tied. Lilith most likely still has more allies and connections in places they have yet to discover, and they need to be sought out and dealt with. It may take a long time to clear things up, maybe even years, and the impact could be catastrophic. Harvey then asked everyone to share their stories and their connections. Cole spoke in front of us all, sharing everything. He talks about how he was first sent to Earth, and how Lilith gave his mother the disease out of spite and revenge. He spoke about the recent attacks, and how they were done as hatred towards him when they were actually related to the rebellion. He then spoke about me, how we met, how he bec

As I lay nestled against his chest, I playfully drew small circles on his chest, the warmth of his skin keeping me wrapped in his arms, his wings spread out around me. The morning light sneaked in through the bedroom curtains while the two of us were still snuggled together on the bed, the sheets tattered messily. He ran his fingers through my hair, fiddling with the strands as I listened to his heartbeat, hearing every breath he took. "Did you fall asleep?" he asked softly, making me smile. "I should be the one asking you that." Spinning around to face him, my hand came to rest under my chin. "You were so busy as soon as we got back, and it doesn't seem like we got any sleep last night... or this morning." His lips curled up mischievously and his hand slid down my bare back, giving me goosebumps. "I'm doing okay. It was all definitely worth it." "Mmm...hmm." I tilted my head cheekily. Right now I was in his room at his father's house. As soon as the chaos died down, h

The light grew more and more, wrapping everything around him, and I had to squeeze my eyes shut because of the blinding light. I clutched Chase's hand as a wave of power pulsed through the room, shaking everything around me. I could feel my heart beating faster, my breath catching in my throat as the tension continued to rise in my chest. The light was retracted back into Cole's body, clinging to his skin. As I opened my eyes cautiously, I saw the light fading away as the archangel got to his feet and stepped back. Without holding myself back, I jumped forward, rushed to Cole's side, and with trembling hands, placed them on the side of his cold face. A few moments passed without anything happening, waiting. I gently brushed his hair aside. Then all of a sudden, his chest heaved, catching a deep breath that sounded so sharp, and

I leaned over Cole's body, my hands shaking as I brushed his hair, which had fallen to the side. Tears fell again, rolling down my cheeks without stopping. The sound of footsteps coming closer, got louder until they finally stopped right behind me. "Rayline?" I blinked slowly, turned my head towards the source of the voice, and saw Cole's father standing there. His expression changed as his gaze fell on his son who lay motionless in my arms. He swallowed, his gaze filled with such deep pain. "...Is there any other way?" I asked hoarsely. "Is there anything you can do?" He knelt beside me, pain filling his eyes.

Anxious, because the expressions on my parents’ faces left no room for me to feel emotionally relieved.Mom's lips pressed into a thin line as she stood leaning against one of the bookshelves that adorned the wall, while Dad sat behind his desk, his hands covering his face. Various folders and piles of paper were scattered across the desk and the surrounding area.
