Hipócrita

Mi prometido era el neurocientífico más brillante del país. Pero su amiga de la infancia, enferma de cáncer terminal y solo tenía un mes de vida, por lo que, para acompañarla en ese último tramo del camino, él me obligó a tomar una dosis experimental de un fármaco que borra la memoria, una creación suya, aún secreta. Durante ese mes en que yo lo olvidé todo, él organizó una boda con su amiga, la llevó de luna de miel, y juntos, prometieron reencontrarse en otra vida, en medio de un campo lleno de flores. Un mes después, bajo una lluvia que calaba hasta los huesos, él cayó de rodillas frente a mí, con los ojos llenos de desesperación y la voz hecha trizas: —La droga solo duraba un mes... ¿Por qué me olvidaste para siempre?

Depois que minha família faliu, meu noivo, Luis Ribeiro, rompeu o nosso noivado sem hesitação e escolheu Paula Sousa. Foi Jone Loureiro quem me ajudou a pagar as dívidas, cuidou do funeral do meu pai e me resgatou do caos. Nos três anos seguintes, ele nunca me deixou. Eu estava prestes a acreditar que tinha encontrado minha salvação, mas, na véspera do nosso casamento, ouvi ele conversando com o amigo Carlos Araújo: — Você realmente vai se casar com Sofia Lima? Não tem medo que um dia ela descubra que a morte do pai e a falência da família Lima foram obra sua? — Paula já está casada com Luis, e eu estou com Sofia. E se ela descobrir, qual é o problema? Paguei as dívidas dela, enterrei o pai. Já fiz mais do que deveria. Só então eu soube que Jone Loureiro também tinha me enganado. Do começo ao fim, a única que se entregou nessa história fui eu.

Emerald is on her way to becoming the Silver Pack's greatest warrior. Her best friend, future Alpha Declan is one of her biggest supporters. He, along with her other two best friends, future Beta Jackson, and future Gemma Wesley, put her through the wringer, and more often than not, she comes up as the shining star. Everyone believes Emerald had the most leisurely life growing up. With her best friends being who they are, having the most loving mother and step-father who didn't hesitate to take her in as his own, but the truth is her family has been through hell. Em, well, she's been through even more. No one knows that better than her three best friends, who have all been attached at the hip since they met her at age three. They each have a secret, though, one they never even admitted to one another. Declan, Jack, and Wesley are in love with Emerald. The deep love that they won't admit, not even to themselves. Emerald is in love with all three of them, but unlike her friends, she knows it, and now that they are about to turn eighteen in just a few weeks, she's starting to get scared for the first time in her life. They will all be blessed by the moon goddess with their mates, and you just don't know how it will go. One of us could be a mate, or all four will mate with someone they know or don't even know. The issue with the last part is she-wolves are very jealous creatures, so our friendship can come to a crashing halt after all these years. The thought of that could kill her alone. But guess we will have to wait and see...

“Tell me, Isabella…do you still taste me on your tongue?” Damien’s whisper is fire against her neck, his fingers tracing the curve of her hip through silk, pulling her flush against the hard proof of how much he’s never stopped wanting her. She came to L.A. for a quiet Christmas. Instead, the billionaire who once claimed her body in one reckless night, and vanished, steals her off the street. Damien Voss thinks she’s his rival’s daughter. Locks her in his penthouse. Plans to use her. But her eyes, her scent, the way she trembles under his touch… It's her. The woman he’s craved for a year. She escapes. Starts over in another country. Finds calm, safety… even gets engaged to Jace Salvador. However, that peace is short-lived when Damien finds her and tears her away from Jace. Carries her back to his bed, his rules, his hunger. She doesn’t remember Damien as the man from the scorching one night stand years ago. To her, he’s just the man who makes her pulse race and her walls crumble. Until the truth crashes in, and the memories of that night return to haunt her. Betrayals burn. A murder trial looms. And Isabella holds the power to save him…or destroy him. She swore she’d never forgive the man from that night. But Damien’s touch makes her forget everything but yes. Damien’s Willing Captive; where Stockholm becomes sanctuary, and the only escape is deeper into his fire.

****Mature Audience Only***** “Strip.” Heat flooded my cheeks. I hesitated, just for a heartbeat—then let the straps of my red dress slide off my shoulders. The silk puddled at my feet. My heels stayed on, my panties stayed on, and I stood there trembling in black lace, suddenly more exposed than I’d ever been in my life. He circled me slowly, his fingertips brushing over my spine, down my hip, ghosting over the swell of my ass. The touch made me shiver, made my nipples tighten against the lace. Then he fisted my hair, yanking my head back until I was forced to look up at him. His eyes were dark fire. “You’re mine tonight,” he said flatly. “Every part of you. Do you understand?” “Yes,” I whispered. “I’m yours.” “On your knees.” My body dropped instantly, as if it had been waiting for that command all along. “Open,” he ordered. I obeyed. His cock slid over my tongue, thick and heavy, and I gagged when he… Raw Pleasures will leave readers breathless, aroused, and haunted—satisfied in the moment yet craving more.

A velha amiga de infância de Valentim Leal, Dalila Travassos, voltou a ocupar o banco do carona. Dessa vez, não fiz escândalo. Fui direto pro banco de trás, sentando ao lado do melhor amigo dele, Guilherme Novaes. Com o carro sacolejando na estrada, meu joelho roçou na coxa firme e tensa do Guilherme. Não tirei. Ele também não se mexeu. Na parada do posto, Dalila arrastou o Valentim pro banheiro. Assim que as portas se fecharam, Guilherme segurou minha nuca e me beijou. Perdida naquele beijo quente e confuso, pensei: Desconfiar dos homens. Entender os homens. Virar um deles. Essa é a grande verdade.

Estuve ocho años con un hombre divorciado. Nos separamos noventa y cuatro veces y nos divorciamos cinco. Una más, y sería la número cien, pero me cansé. La primera ruptura fue la noche que le entregué mi primera vez: dejó todo a medias porque su ex lo llamó para comprar pan. La quinta, cuando me abandonó embarazada en plena carretera para consolar a esa misma mujer. Tuve un accidente, perdí al bebé… y él llegó después, desarreglado, como si nada. Y aun con todo el dolor que me causó, nunca tuve el valor de dejarlo del todo. La última vez que nos divorciamos fue por otra razón absurda: su ex y su hijo participarían en un programa familiar, y para cuidar la imagen de familia feliz, volvió a divorciarse. Cuando el show terminó, me llamó para hablar de reconciliarnos. Pero esta vez dije que no… porque ya había decidido casarme con otro.

Mis padres tenían miedo de que yo usara la identidad de hija de ricos para fastidiar a otros. Así que me mandaron al rancho, adoptaron a la niña de esa familia y la trajeron a la ciudad para educarla. En el rancho todos los días me levantaba a las cuatro a dar de comer a los puercos, caminaba tres horas para estudiar, y casi me muero al enfermarme por no comer bien. Por treinta dólares de colegiatura, llamé por primera vez a su teléfono, pero me acusaron de gastar dinero a lo tonto. Pero, de inmediato, para que mi hermana menor escogiera escuela, donaron un edificio. Cuando con esfuerzo entré a la preparatoria a la que ella iba, obtuve un lugar de honor. Pero mis padres me pidieron que se lo diera a mi hermana menor, y me regañaron con furia: —De verdad que eres una maldita, le robaste las cosas a tu hermana menor, y, por tu culpa, no puede estar tranquila. Estás en deuda con ella de por vida. Con su identidad, renunciaron a mi lugar de honor, y dejaron que mi hermana menor cumpliera su deseo. Incluso, para su futuro le dieron a ella las acciones de la compañía y la casa. Toda la familia se estaba preparando para salir del país juntos. Viendo todo esto, ya no me sentía triste, por lo que, tranquila, me limité a empacar mi maleta, dejé aquella casa que no me pertenecía.

En el octavo año de salir con Julián, Yanet fue hospitalizada por una enfermedad. El día que salió del hospital, accidentalmente escuchó en el pasillo la conversación de Julián con su hermana. —¿Julián, te volviste loco? ¿De verdad le diste la médula ósea de Yanet a Sofía sin que ella se enterara? Sabías claramente que la salud de Yanet no es buena, ¿y la engañaste diciéndole que era enfermedad estomacal para que corriera este riesgo? Sofía era la pequeña amiga de la infancia que Julián había querido por muchos años. Yanet no lloró ni hizo escándalo, llamó a sus padres que estaban en el extranjero y aceptó el matrimonio arreglado con la familia Luna...

For the first twenty years of my life, nothing interesting happened to me, nothing at all. I was just an orphan, trapped inside a prison of my own creation. My life was mundane, colourless, predictable, and for the longest time, I liked it that way. Life scared me. People scared me. Hell, everything scared me. Then Adrian walks into my life. Devilishly handsome and mysterious, the new priest sets me alight with desires I never knew existed. It's a sin, I know, but I can't help myself. His touch is magic. But Adrian is not what he appears to be. Our new priest is a Lycan King on the run from his enemies. And me? I'm not who I thought I was. I'm neither human nor wolf. I'm something else. Something that puts my life in danger. Just like that, my life is filled with excitement, adventure and more colour than I can handle. * I feel, more than see, as the priest kneels next to me. “Are you afraid of me, Pippa?" A little,”I answer. It's easier to be honest when you can't see the person's face. "Why?” "You- you make me…feel things.” "Hm-hm,”he grunts."And you've never felt these things before?" "No.” Out of nowhere, his warm hand falls on my hip, and a solitary finger traces along the length of my hipbone. My body comes alive and crackles with electricity, but I don't move, I don't even breathe.
