A single night changed everything. Lilith never expected to betray her marriage, not even in her darkest moments. But when Grayson Devereaux— a dangerously alluring werewolf with a ruthless reputation—stepped into her life, resisting him became impossible. Their one night of passion led to a scandal she couldn't contain. When her worthless husband exposed her infidelity to the world, Lilith disappeared, carrying a secret she never meant to keep. Years later, she has built a quiet life in a new city, raising the son Grayson doesn’t know exists. But fate is cruel. Grayson finds her. However, "He is my children, but I already have a fiancée."
View MoreI hadn’t had a sex life with my husband for over six months.
The thought of it sent a wave of frustration through me. Absentmindedly, I ran my fingers over the freshly curled ends of my hair, took a deep breath, and forced myself to focus on work. I exhaled slowly, smoothing the ends of my freshly curled hair, willing myself to focus on work.
"Lilith, you can do this!" I muttered under my breath, scanning the endless emails cluttering my inbox. Another late night at the office loomed, but I was determined to reclaim my weekend.
It was a week before Christmas. After working overtime for half a month straight, I had been looking forward to some well-deserved rest. But my department boss, in a misguided attempt at team bonding, had decided on a mandatory retreat—an all-expenses-paid weekend at a hot spring resort.
Losing my weekend to work-related team bonding didn’t sound great, but at least the company was covering the bill.
Curiosity got the better of me after dinner, and I pulled up the resort’s website. A single night’s stay, including access to the hot springs, costs around 500 CHF—almost 570 US dollars.
The pictures showed breathtaking views of the mountains, a picturesque town dusted with snow, and steaming pools under a starry sky.
I glanced at my husband. Jimmy sat hunched over his computer, headphones clamped over his ears, fingers clicking away at his mechanical keyboard.
It has beautiful scenery, and I never thought I could spend my holidays here with my husband. It must be a five-star luxury resort! I continue to look at the hotel website, this boutique and beautifully located town in the Swiss Alps.
Excitement bubbled up in me as I turned to my husband. “We should spend Christmas here! Just the two of us!”
He didn’t respond. Headphones on, eyes glued to his screen, he was too immersed in his game to even notice I had spoken.
Not that I was surprised; this was routine by now.
I sighed and reached for my phone. If we were going to a luxury resort, I would need something special to wear. Maybe—just maybe—this trip could rekindle something between us.
Lately, Jimmy has been staying up late gaming with his online friends, only crawling into bed around 1 or 2 a.m., long after I had already fallen asleep. This trip could be our chance to reconnect.
Bikini or a sheer long dress? Or maybe a high-slit one-piece? I hesitated but didn’t bother asking Jimmy. He was still on Discord, chatting away with his friends. The last thing I wanted was for them to overhear our conversation.
My eyes landed on a sleek black bodysuit. A one-piece with a plunging cut down to the waist.
"Our iconic Orla bodysuit is reimagined as a swimsuit. Combining premium sheer mesh paneling creates a sculpted silhouette…"
Perfect. I added it to my cart and checked out.
Still humming to myself, I walked over to the full-length mirror in our bedroom. My long, chestnut waves framed my face, cascading down my back in soft curls.
Too bad he doesn’t like it. Jimmy preferred short, playful hair—something that made a woman look “cute.”
Maybe worthless men just want their partner who looks like a little girl, not a woman with presence. The thought was bitter, but it comforted me.
At 5’8, I towered over my husband’s 5’6' frame. He never failed to find ways to cut me down, he never outright complained about it, but his actions spoke volumes. He made subtle jabs, teasing me about my heels, standing on his toes in photos, making backhanded comments that chipped away at me over time. As if cutting me down could make him feel bigger.
The fact is, I don't really mind the height, he is the one who always thinks of it.
I sighed, suddenly losing all interest in the online shopping for the resort trip. Crawling into bed alone, I let the sounds of his FPS game fill the silence. Eventually, exhaustion took over, and I drifted off into sleep.
A strange thought lingered in my mind.
In my dream, I dreamed that I was wearing that sexy bathing suit, and I felt thirsty and horny.
And it wasn’t my husband I was longing for.
I saw my scattered makeup products on the floor, feeling heartbroken but too afraid to say anything. I didn’t dare to defy Jimmy at this moment, fearing he would lose control and hurt me.At that moment, the doorbell rang.I froze and walked to the door. At least this could distract Jimmy—what perfect timing, I thought. I assumed it was hotel staff checking in after hearing the loud noises from our room.But when I opened the door, I was startled to see Grayson standing there.Panic surged through me, and I instinctively shut the door immediately."Who is it?" Jimmy noticed my strange behavior and stormed over, yanking the door open forcefully.I stood to the side, almost hit by the swinging door.Grayson’s expression darkened at the sight before him.He looked at Jimmy. "Is everything okay? I heard some noise from the next room—it was quite loud."Then he turned to me, his gaze filled with silent concern, as if asking if I was alright.I shook my head slightly, signaling him not to e
“Hmm, not sure. Maybe… a Czechoslovakian Wolfdog?” I guessed.His lips curled into a playful smile. “I think maybe you’re just so eager to have me that you’re imagining things. Are you really going to deny that you don’t want to experience the pleasure I can give you?”He moved closer. His body brushed against mine.My breath hitched. “You… you promised you wouldn’t touch me,”I stammered, trying to put some distance between us. But I had nowhere left to go. The hot spring wasn’t that big.He lowered his head and kissed me—softly, slowly. The lingering taste of whiskey burned between us, intoxicating and deep.Then, a light flickered behind me.I turned my head instinctively—the lights in my suite with Jimmy switched on.The glow filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, softened by the dense tree wall between us. The hot spring remained dimly lit, but my heart pounded.A surge of guilt hit me. I shouldn’t be here.I pushed against Grayson’s chest, struggling to get out of the wa
He sounded like he knew a lot about hot springs. My curiosity about him deepened.“Get changed,” he said, reaching for the belt of his robe.I was startled and turned away before I could see anything.He chuckled but didn’t comment. In just a few moments, I heard the rustle of fabric, and when I turned back, he was dressed in the traditional yukata.Surprisingly, it suited him well. A handsome man really could wear anything.“You should change too,” he said.“You—turn around.”He smirked. “Haven’t I seen everything already?”His words instantly brought back the memory of last night—the moment we first met, when he saw my...Heat rushed to my cheeks. Grayson laughed and stepped into the next room. “Fine, I’ll get the drinks. Change quickly.”Only when I was sure he couldn’t see me did I quickly slip off my dress and put on the soft pink yukata.By the time he returned, he held two glasses of whiskey."You look nice with pink too." He had given me plenty of time. Maybe I had misjudged h
“Stay with me for a little while.” His voice was soft, completely at odds with his forceful actions.“Just a little while in the hot spring, and I’ll let you go.”I opened my mouth to refuse, but he spoke again.“If you leave now, that’s fine. But in a few minutes, I’ll come knocking on your door and tell your husband you left something in my room. Let’s see if you open the door… or if he does.”“You—” My temper flared. “Are you threatening me?”His voice remained gentle.“Baby, I just want someone to talk to.”Something about his tone made my heart soften. I sighed. “Fine. I’ll sit with you for a while.”“Not sit. You’re coming into the hot spring with me.” His voice held a teasing lilt.“No.” I folded my arms.He stepped closer, brushing his lips against mine as he spoke in a coaxing whisper.“Baby, I won’t do anything. I just want company, that’s all.”I felt the zipper of my dress slowly being undone.I pushed his hand away. “I don’t have a swimsuit.”“No problem. I’ll take care o
“That would be great.” Anthony slung an arm around Jimmy’s shoulders, then turned to me. “You don’t mind if I steal your gentleman for a while, do you?”“Of course not.” I was more than happy to oblige the boss who paying for our trip.“Babe, go back and rest first. We’re off to a paradise for men.” Jimmy flashed me a reassuring smile.“Have fun.” I gave them both a small smile before turning toward my room.Strange… Why isn’t my keycard working?I swiped it twice. The red light blinked.Just then, the door swung open.Grayson stood before me, clad in nothing but a bathrobe.“You couldn’t stay away for long, huh?” He raised an eyebrow.It took me a second to realize—I had walked to the wrong door. My room was the next one over.“No, I—” Before I could finish, he grabbed my wrist and yanked me inside.He pushed me against the door and kissed me hard, stealing my breath.Snapping out of it, I pushed him away, my mind still spinning.“This afternoon at the hot spring… was that you?”Gray
It was impossible.Shaking my head, I quickly fixed my swimsuit, grabbed a towel, and made my way back to the room.Jimmy took one look at me and frowned. "Your face is so red. You stayed in the water too long, didn’t you?""Oh… yeah," I mumbled. "I guess I lost track of time."I knew what was coming next.Sure enough, he launched into one of his usual lectures, scolding me about staying in hot water too long and the dangers of dehydration. I tuned him out, my mind still spinning.A quick shower later, I slipped into a white mini dress and paired it with Christian Louboutin Ballerina pumps.Since marrying Jimmy, I had stopped wearing high heels—he didn’t like the height difference.Facing the mirror, I applied a light layer of lip gloss, forcing a smile.Time to focus.Dinner.We headed to a different restaurant tonight—one more refined and elegant. Stepping inside felt like entering a masterpiece, the grandeur of a towering crystal chandelier casting a soft glow over the room.I fina
