Lifting her chin, "If you love her—yes," she insisted. "Then you are a romantic fool because it is not going to happen." He moved suddenly, straightening away from the desk. "There is a wedding arranged for next Saturday morning, and I intend to make sure that it goes ahead." Without a bride? Charley stared at him. "You mean—you're going to find her and drag her back to marry you?" A silly kind of laugh left her throat at the very image of Adelina being dragged by this man down the church aisle, kicking and screaming. ‘No.’ Reaching behind him, his long fingers picked Adelina's letter up again—this time to fold it with slow, neat precision. "I mean to replace her with someone else."I want reparation for being taken for an idiot, and if that means putting you in Adelina's wedding dress and marrying you in her place, then that is what is going to happen."

"I didn’t know," I said, trying to steady my voice. "And stop throwing it in my face like I planned this. Bella is my best friend. I would never do anything to hurt her or ruin our friendship."

Quelle est la première chose que tu ferais si tu renaissais ? Moi ? Je commencerais par divorcer de mon mari, Gabriel Delacroix. Oui, Gabriel Delacroix, le même homme qui dirige la moitié du monde criminel depuis l'ombre. Le Parrain. L'homme le plus riche du monde. Celui dont rêvent toutes les femmes ; son visage était partout sur les magazines, nommé « L'homme le plus sexy du monde » cinq années de suite. Dans ma vie précédente, j'avais tout essayé pour qu'il me regarde comme si j'avais de l'importance. Je l'avais épousé. J'avais donné naissance à son fils. J'avais avalé toute ma fierté en essayant d'être l'épouse parfaite. Mais ça n'avait pas marché. Pour lui, je n'étais pas différente d'une serveuse à qui il laisserait un pourboire — oubliable, remplaçable, invisible. Alors cette fois, je ne supplie pas. Je ne fais pas semblant. Je remets à Madeleine Girard la clé de ma place dans sa vie, et je m'en vais. C'est le premier amour de Gabriel, et aussi l'ombre qui avait hanté chacun de mes jours dans ma vie précédente. Madeleine était assise en face de moi ; elle a cligné des yeux comme si elle n'avait pas bien compris ce que je venais de dire. « Tu as tellement essayé de me repousser », a-t-elle dit lentement, les yeux plissés. « Et maintenant tu veux que je sois avec Gabriel ? » « Oui. C'est tout ce que je demande. Parle à Gabriel. Dis-lui de signer les papiers du divorce. » J'ai regardé son visage confus et j'ai continué : « Tout le monde sait que je ne pourrais jamais abandonner Gabriel. Alors si je dis que je veux divorcer, il ne me croira pas une seule seconde. Mais toi ? C'est toi qui peux faire en sorte que ça arrive… n'est-ce pas ? » Elle a ri, parce qu'elle avait enfin sa chance. J'ai ri aussi, parce que j'étais enfin libre.

He was off limits, but I couldn't help but want him. His touch ignited my skin, and his long intense stares set my heart ablaze. He knew me so well, and it made me hope that maybe what we had wasn't just lust and attraction… But he never said the words I wanted to hear. Was I always going to be his angel in secret, or was he going to show the world that I was his? Regardless, I knew I was always going to find myself desiring my best friend's dad.

When he looked in through the window, he was astounded to see her topless and braless. She was standing with her back to him, eliciting wild desires in him. He took his handkerchief from his pocket and crept into her room. He blindfolded her with his hankie before dragging her towards the bed. Her heartbeat accelerated. She could feel that he was her man. She asked, "is it you, baby?" He pushed her onto the bed and gazed at her perfect slender body with profound desires in his eyes. He hovered her and tied her wrists with his tie to the headboard. *** She could never stop her heart from beating for him since the day she saw him despite knowing that he would never retaliate to her feelings as for him she was only his best friend's sister. She was so innocent and pure like holy water, and he was messed up and a monster whom anybody definitely wouldn't like to come across. She had never dated anyone in her entire life because, for her, the love of her life was everything. On the other hand, he never believed in all this. For him, "love" didn't exist; it was all about physical needs. His mere presence was enough to relieve her pain; he was like oxygen to her, while on the other hand, he didn't even acknowledge her presence. Her love was so pure and selfless that it could make anyone fall for it because it's not easy to love someone who is forbidden. But will he ever witness her love? Will he ever love her as purely as she loves him? Will her one-sided love ever be fulfilled? If you want to know, then follow the journey of a tempting biker and his secret admirer.

She wanted him to submit himself. And as time goes on, he feels like she's gradually getting him. He's gradually falling for her charm. Paulyn is a walking temptation. A sexy vixen that could awaken every man's sexual fantasies and he is not an exception to that.

I groan, leaning my body over his.”Ride me, little princess”, He commands, panting, maintaining eye contact and guiding my hips. “Put me in,please…” I plead, biting my lower lips, trying to control the sensation that's taking over my body. He’s rubbing his dick on my clits, sliding it into my wet entrance. This was bad. She wasn’t supposed to be sleeping with her best friend’s father. But here she was, with his cock deep inside her, deciding to free herself, not caring at the thought of losing her virginity, her fiancé and her best friend.
