Cocky Smile

Malinaw na nakikita ni Rosie Frey Israel ang magiging kinabukasan niya sa kanyang boyfriend na si Rico. Tanging alok na kasal na lamang ang hinihintay niya mula rito. Ngunit hindi niya inasahang sa pagpunta niya sa night club ay malalaman niyang pinagtataksilan pala siya nito.

Hindi niya napaghandaan na isang West Severino pala ang magpapabago sa takbo ng kanyang buhay. Kakayanin niya kayang tumaliwas sa tukso o mas pipiliin niyang sumabay sa agos at magpalunod?

Ako ang anak na pinapangarap nila, at siya ang lalaking pinalaki para sa akin. Hindi kami magka-apelyido o magkadugo ngunit magkapatid ang turingan namin sa loob ng bahay at sa harap ng mga magulang ko. — Heaven Abellana Bata pa lang ay alam ko kung bakit ako pinalaki. Matagal akong naghintay at walang makakapigil sa kagustuhan kong makuha siya. Dapat lang na kunin ko ang bagay na pinangako nila. — Rigel Skye

"Let’s go on a proper date, with flowers and candles, his lips twitched in a cocky smile, he leaned in forward, inhaling my scent like a drug he was addicted to. “And then what?” I replied, quivering. His lips were too distracting as they stood dangerously close to mine. "We can pretend to get to know each other if you want. And after that, I can fuck you senseless." Looking up to meet his dark gaze. I swallowed hard, I had only two choices, but whichever I chose, I knew I was screwed. Zach always knew his mate was out there, but at 25, after searching every pack, he had nearly given up hope. Then came Nicole, on the run from a broken past, scarred by betrayal after a humiliating scandal with her crush who sinisterly released a sex tape of her that would haunt her for life. She’s sworn never to trust any man, but destiny had other plans. What happens when the one person you’re meant to love is the last person you think you can trust?

Hazel Jones: “If we're going to start something, it's going to be my way." Moving into a new city with her aunt was not really the ideal choice for her, but she had to. She must... In order to live, she needed that. Who would've thought that the cocky guy she met on her first day at college is the son of her aunt's fiancé? Cocky? Yes. Idiotic? Of course! Hating him? Already is! Jordan Miller got all of the excellent criteria that Hazel hated, which made him the very last freaking annoying person alive on earth that Hazel never thought she would end up falling into. So, loving him? Checked.

He straddled me, his hips swirling in slow, maddening circles. His body was right there, pressing into mine, and I couldn’t escape it; I didn’t want to. His hands found mine and guided them to his chest, and when my palms touched his warm skin, I was gone. My pulse was a blur of frantic beats pounding in my ears, drowning out the crowd's cheers and whistles. With his face inches from mine, Alec leaned in. His breath ghosted over my lips, his smile, cocky, knowing, playful, and somehow tender all at once. “You okay there?” he asked with an amused tone, and I opened my mouth, desperate to say something—anything—but nothing came out. My throat was dry, my skin was on fire and my mind was completely blank. All I could do was stare at him, completely mesmerized by how his body moved against mine and that wicked smirk on his lips. Before I knew it, heat pooled low in my belly, spreading downward, and I instinctively clenched my thighs together to stop the throbbing that ignited between my legs, but it was too late as I dampened the soft leather.

She is a free spirit, trapped in a bird cage of death, danger and despair. Little Alessa has always known one thing above all- she was born to be the perfect Principessa of the Cosa Nostra, the Italian Mafia. She was urged to smile when asked to, laugh even when the jokes were anything but funny, charming to all who were allies. She was perfection incarnate...well, that's what they think. They know nothing of her wild abandon, of her plans to be anything but the perfect princess, royalty of a world dredged so deep in blood, she choked on it. Her plans to run were absolute...well, until HE came along. The mysterious Pakan-a Don like her father- shielded by the shadows that he ruled from. He was the anomaly that she least expected. He destroyed her plans and she hated him for it. So why then does her heart beat so fast when he is near? Why is he the one she thinks about before she sleeps? Why does she so long to see him when she's sad? She wanted the freedom, the life beyond the shadows and explore the world. But Emerald colored eyes, cocky smirks, rough hands, cigarettes and darkness were starting to look a little more appealing...

Follow Saber, a fox shifter, though an adventure of love, or betrayal. Can she get the ring for her skulk. Being matched with a cocky Alpha Wolf Shifter was never part of her plans. Will she be able to get back home?

So what if you're formidable or filthy rich? Don't you dare get cocky with me. I'm Cassian York. I can save your life, and I can end it, too!
