Bella Swan Spouse

Alcohol and heartbreak are definitely not a good combo. Too bad I learned that a little too late. I’m Tessa Beckett and I painfully got dumped by my boyfriend of three years. That led me to get drunk at a bar and have a one-night stand with a stranger. Before he would see me as a slut the next day,I paid him for the sex and deeply insulted his ability to please me. But this stranger turned out to be my new boss!

J’ai reçu une vidéo pornographique. « Tu aimes ça ? » L’homme qui parle dans la vidéo est mon mari, Mark, que je n’ai pas vu depuis plusieurs mois. Il est nu et sa chemise et son pantalon sont éparpillés sur le sol. Il est en train de faire l’amour avec une femme dont je ne peux pas voir le visage. Les seins dodus et ronds de cette femme rebondissent vigoureusement. Je peux clairement entendre les bruits de claques dans la vidéo, mêlés à des gémissements et des grognements de luxure. « Oui, oui, baise-moi fort, chéri », hurle la femme avec extase. « Vilaine fille ! » Mark se lève et la retourne, lui claquant les fesses tout en parlant. « Mets ton cul en l’air ! » La femme glousse, se retourne, balance ses fesses et s’agenouille sur le lit. J’ai l’impression que quelqu’un m’a jeté un seau d’eau glacée sur la tête. Ce qui est déjà mauvais, c’est que mon mari a une liaison, mais ce qui est pire, c’est que l’autre femme est ma propre sœur, Bella. *** « Je veux divorcer d’avec toi, Mark », j’ai répété au cas où il ne m’aurait pas entendue la première fois, bien que je sache qu’il m’avait clairement entendue. Il me regardait avec une mine renfrognée avant de répondre froidement : « Ce n’est pas à toi d’en décider ! Je suis très occupé, ne perds pas mon temps avec des choses aussi ennuyeuses, n’essaie pas d’attirer mon attention ! » La dernière chose que j’allais faire était de discuter ou de me quereller avec lui. « Je demanderai à l’avocat de t’envoyer le contrat de divorce », c’est tout ce que j’ai dit, aussi calmement que possible. Il n’a même pas dit un autre mot après cela et il est simplement passé par la porte devant laquelle il se tenait, la claquant durement derrière lui. Mes yeux se sont attardés un peu distraitement sur la poignée de la porte avant que je n’enlève l’anneau de mariage de mon doigt et que je ne le pose sur la table.

"What do I do, huh?" he nips softly on the skin of my neck as he thrusts in and out of me gently, holding onto me as though I was the most delicate thing in the world. "Tell me how to make it right, baby." He mumbled into my neck, his strokes growing deeper. My eyes met his vulnerable grey ones, and as I looked into the eyes of the man who broke me, I couldn't hold his gaze much longer because of how they seemingly appealed to me and made me waver. Pressing a kiss to his jaw, I whispered, suppressing a moan. "Bandages don't x bullet holes. You cannot x what you have already broken, Sean Wellington, because it's unxable." •••• Sekani Salvador never knew what it felt like to be truly loved, and even when she loved, it had to be a man she wasn't supposed to fall for, Sean Wellington, who happened to be the boyfriend of her twin sister, Simone Salvador, who loathed everything she stood for.

His smoldering golden gaze struck sparks from hers. “I wanted you the first time I saw you nearly three years ago. Now I want you even more.” “Me too... I've been waiting for this for so long… Three years might seem an eternity sometimes. Touch me, Diego. Please,” she mumbled shakily. “I will, 'cariño'… And I won’t stop. Not until you beg me to.” "Then... Don’t you ever stop…” she whispered urgently, shifting her hips in a restive movement against the sheet, wildly, wickedly conscious of the growing ache at the very heart of her. “Never…” "Is this a promise?"
