Checkmate Chapter 1

"I've called off my engagement with your sister. I won’t marry her. I’m going to marry you, Poppy." Arranged marriage is a longstanding tradition in the Lee family, and as Professor Lee's triplets come of age, they must marry the women chosen by their formidable late great-grandfather, Don Adolfo. Faith Zeican Lee, the kindest and gentlest of the triplets, is first in line, paired with the eldest daughter of the Herald family. Yet, on the eve of their engagement party, Faith's life takes a sudden turn when he encounters Poppy Herald, the shy and innocent youngest sister of his intended bride. As Faith spends time with Poppy, he uncovers the harsh realities of her life, revealing a world of hidden struggles and unspoken pain. Determined to rescue Poppy from her circumstances, Faith devises a plan: call off his engagement, and make Poppy his wife instead.

Aria lives her life according to her own choices. She's like a mighty wave- unrestrained and unruly. The only thing she doesn't have control over, is the power to choose whom to marry. But circumstances turned her life upside-down. It left her no choice but to take the path she never imagined to walk on, for the sake of his only brother. It was a matter of life and death, and the only choice she has is to live with the man she betrayed on the past. Meanwhile, Raeden was eager to get even. He did everything to avenge his younger self and his family. He was betrayed by someone he never imagined would deceive him. He promised himself to do everything to avenge to the detriment of Aria's life. How does it take to forgive and forget the remnants of the past? Is love stronger than the will to revenge? Or is hatred enough for loath to preclude love and forgiveness?

Sa Chaleur dans ma Bouche Ce livre est pour un public averti : contenues explicites et pour des hommes qui aiment d'autres hommes . Théo Delmas, 24 ans, jeune avocat idéaliste, voit sa vie basculer quand son père, cadre financier innocent, est incarcéré pour un scandale qu'il n'a pas commis. Lors de l'audience, il remarque un juge aux yeux gris qui fixe sa bouche avec une intensité troublante. Convoqué au cabinet du juge Édouard Delacroix, Théo découvre l'horrible vérité : Delacroix a lui-même fabriqué les preuves contre son père, uniquement pour attirer Théo à lui. Obsédé par sa bouche depuis qu'il l'a vu à une conférence, le juge propose un marché : chaque soir, Théo viendra s'agenouiller dans son bureau et utilisera sa bouche pour supplier, servir et donner du plaisir. En échange, son père sera libéré. Tiraillé entre l'horreur et un désir naissant qu'il refuse d'admettre, Théo accepte. Les soirées s'enchaînent, les gestes deviennent plus intimes, plus profonds. Delacroix explore sa bouche avec une lenteur méthodique, apprenant chaque recoin, chaque sensation. Théo, malgré la honte, découvre en lui un besoin d'obéissance et d'abandon qu'il ignorait. Au fil des nuits, leur relation évolue. La simple soumission forcée laisse place à une complicité trouble, à des confidences, à des moments de vraie tendresse. Mais le danger rôde : d'autres protagonistes menacent leur équilibre, et la frontière entre victime et amant, entre geôlier et amoureux, devient de plus en plus floue. Une dark romance érotique M/M où la bouche devient le centre de tous les pouvoirs : celui de supplier, d'aimer, de trahir, et finalement de choisir.
