LOGINThis book is authored by amy worcester. “Good morning, fam. This is my uncle Owen, everyone calls him Reese, because that’s his last name and the military is weird like that. He likes thick girls and freaky sex.” ************************ Forty-three year old Helen is newly divorced and trying to find herself. For the first time in her life, she is not under the control of a man. With an absentee father, an abusive step-brother and a manipulative ex-husband, she's had the perfect trifecta of bad men. Along with learning to live life on her own, she's trying to help her three children. Jaxon is struggling with his sexuality. Jolene is discovering that her perfect marriage is far from perfect. JD is just trying to get through high school and into the Navy. Fifty-two year old Owen Reese returned to his hometown after twenty years in the Navy. He started a small business that has made him a millionaire over the past decade. With his own daughter grown and living a life of her own, he thought his days of parenting were behind him. But he is now raising his sixteen year old niece while his sister is deployed with Doctors Without Borders. And now, the cute, plump receptionist from his accountant's office is everywhere he turns. Not that he's complaining; he's dying to get his hands on those lovely, lush mermaid thighs that haunt his dreams. Nothing seems to go right for them. All of his many sisters are constantly interfering. Her children worry about her so much that they are almost obsessive. And she just wants to be happy. And skinnier. Warning: include an abusive relationship

Teriakan terdengar dari bawah. Semua orang melihat ke arah menara tertinggi kastil, tempat seorang wanita dengan gaun putih penuh darah berdiri di tepi.
Selene Moreau Leventis.
Duchess Leventis. Wanita yang biasanya tenang dan penurut itu kini berdiri di tempat yang paling berbahaya. Para penjaga di belakangnya bergerak hati-hati, takut salah langkah akan membuatnya benar-benar melompat.
Tangisnya pecah, jelas dan memilukan. Selene memegang perutnya yang sakit. Ia baru saja keguguran untuk kelima kalinya. Kali ini ia tahu kebenarannya: semua itu bukan karena penyakit atau kelemahan tubuhnya, tapi karena ulah suaminya sendiri yang tidak menginginkan dia melahirkan keturunan.
"Selene!" suara berat memanggil dari belakang. Dirian, sang Duke, suaminya.
Selene mendengar tapi enggan menoleh. Kecewa sudah terlalu dalam.
"Apa ini trik lain untuk menarik perhatianku?" tanya Dirian dingin. Ia memang tidak suka dibuat repot. Selene tahu, pria itu datang hanya karena tidak tahan mendengar bisik-bisik orang soal istrinya yang berdiri di puncak menara.
Selene tersenyum miris. Suaranya serak saat ia menjawab, "Bukankah kau seharusnya meminta maaf?" Pandangannya jatuh pada seorang wanita cantik yang berdiri di antara para pelayan. Wanita yang rapi, berbeda jauh dari dirinya yang berantakan. Wanita itu dicintai Dirian, wanita yang bahkan tidak akan pernah bisa dibandingkan dengan dirinya dimata Dirian
"Apa kau gila?" Dirian membalas, nadanya meremehkan.
Selene berbalik menatapnya. Mata suaminya merah, tapi tetap dingin.
"Ya, aku memang gila! Aku gila karena mencintaimu, padahal kaulah yang membunuh lima anakmu sendiri!" teriak Selene.
Semua pengawal terkejut. Dirian pun terdiam sesaat.
"Selene, jangan bicara omong kosong," ucapnya, mencoba menahan kendali.
Selene tertawa getir. Darah terus merembes membasahi gaunnya.
"Pernahkah kau mencintaiku?" tanyanya dengan tatapan penuh harap.
Dirian diam. Lalu ia mengalihkan pandangan
"Tidak pernah " Selene menjawab sendiri karena reaksi Dirian
Kata dari mulutnya sendiri menghantam Selene. Ia menarik napas gemetar.
"Hentikan semua ini dan turun. Kau butuh istirahat," kata Dirian.
"Jangan pura-pura peduli!" bentak Selene. Air matanya jatuh. "Mengapa tidak membunuhku saja, daripada membunuh semua janin yang tidak berdosa itu?"
"Selene, berhenti! Turun sekarang!" Dirian berteriak memberi perintah.
"Aku akan melompat dan mati lalu bertemu dengan anak-anakku untuk meminta maaf karena tidak mampu melindungi mereka dari ayah mereka sendiri!" balas Selene lagi.
"Jangan gila, Selene! Kau tidak boleh mati!" seru Dirian, gelisah. Langkah mundur Selene membuatnya semakin rentan di tepi menara.
Selene justru tersenyum. "Demi anak-anakku yang kau bunuh, aku bersumpah! Kau akan membayar semuanya! Aku akan menghantuimu seumur hidup dengan penyesalan dan penderitaan tanpa akhir!"
Ia lalu melompat.
"Selene!" Dirian menjerit, berlari ke tepi menara bersama para pengawal. Tapi mereka terlambat. Tubuh Selene meluncur cepat dan menghantam tanah.
Brak
Suara seluruh tulang yang dihancurkan dan darah yang menggenang disana .
Matanya masih terbuka, sempat melihat wajah Dirian yang kacau melihat tubuhnya di bawah.
Teriakan pelayan dan orang-orang pecah memenuhi udara malam. Langit gelap tanpa bintang malam itu menjadi saksi tragedi yang menimpa Duchess Leventis.
.
.
"Selene!"
Selene tersentak, matanya terbuka lebar. Napasnya pendek, seperti orang yang baru saja diselamatkan dari tenggelam. Di depannya berdiri Dirian Leventis, suaminya. Wajahnya tenang, dingin, matanya tajam. Di belakangnya ada dokter dan pelayan, bau obat memenuhi ruangan. Semua terasa nyata, seperti panggung yang sama ketika hidupnya berakhir dulu.
Dia menoleh ke samping. Jam di meja kecil berdetak. Hari dan tahun yang tertera menunjukkan dua tahun sebelum ia mati. Angin malam masuk lewat jendela yang terbuka sedikit, membawa aroma yang sama dengan saat ia terjatuh dari menara. Ingatan itu kembali: tubuhnya menghantam tanah, sakit yang luar biasa, lalu gelap. Ia meraba perutnya, mencari bekas luka. Tangannya berbalut kasa, hangat, berdarah. Ia bingung — pernah mati, tapi sekarang hidup lagi.
"Nyonya Duchess, tangan anda berdarah. Saya akan memasang infus," kata dokter cepat. Selene menatap gerakannya dengan kaku, masih tidak percaya.
Dirian berkata, suaranya terdengar jengkel. "Jangan mempersulit dokter."
Selene menarik napas panjang. Kepalanya penuh dengan bayangan jasadnya, jeritan orang-orang, dan terutama lima janin yang tidak pernah lahir. Semua itu menghantam dirinya sekaligus.
Ia menoleh pada Dirian. Suaranya pelan tapi jelas.
"Dirian."
Suaminya menatap. "Apa?"
Selene menatap lurus ke matanya.
"Ayo bercerai."

The skirt was so large that her arms couldn’t go down straight by her sides.Smirking, Deam had pointed out that her arms weren’t the only things that would not be straight at the wedding. When she had quit laughing, Bunny threatened to put the teen in pink. They both knew it was an empty threat.Two days before the wedding, Helen had shown up at the two-story house with a new set of petticoats.

I have never met a vampire personally, but I don’t know what might happen tomorrow. – Bela LugosiJD walked up behind Dean and wrapped his arms around her waist, nuzzling her neck as she made herself a sandwich. “How are you going to eat that?”“One bite at a time.” She replied as she sliced the tomato.“Smart ass.” He chuckled.“You want one?”Kissing her cheek, he smiled at her before turning and looking at the sandwich. There needed to be a different word for this … monstrosity. Rye bread with mayonnaise and mustard. Three types of cheeses. Five types of deli sliced meat. Romaine and iceberg lettuce. Sliced tomato, pickles, cucumbers, bell peppers, banana peppers and black olives.“Yeah.” He answered with a soft chuckle.She gave a small laugh as she finished her sandwich and pushed the plate away before grabbing another paper plate leftover from the
As your kids grow they may forget what you said, but won’t forget how you made them feel. – Kevin HeathIt had been a long weekend, starting with Dean’s graduation on Friday night and ending with the babies’ first birthday party today. After the party had broken up, several people had stayed just to play in the pool. Ariel, true to her namesake, loved being in the water and was upset when they finally got out of the pool.She had started to cry, but Ty and Jaxon were there with cuddles. If there was any doubt about her being daddy’s girl, it would only be because the doubter had never seen her light up when either of them came into view.Her favorite place was between her two fathers. She definitely took after her mother in that regard. Most nights she would fall asleep on Bunny’s lap or shoulder, a hand or foot on each of the men.Currently, she lay on Bunny’s shoulder, her hand tightly gripping Jaxon&rs
Some students go an entire day at school without anyone saying their name. be the adult who speaks to each student by name. Everyone loves to hear their name. – Educator Justin TarteEvery night, Jolene sat between Neo’s legs and would read to him. Some nights the passages were nothing more than written porn. Other nights, they were sweet, or amusing. After the first few nights of carefully curated smut scenes, he chose a book, and they would read a few chapters each night.They were on book three of a series of five tonight and she was having a hard time concentrating. The light touch of his calloused hands under her shirt did not help her concentration. Nor did his mouth on her neck.Certainly, the bulge at her lower back was a bit distracting.“Something’s on your mind.” He whispered and then lightly bit her earlobe.“No…” she tried to brush off his observation and he simply chuckled
