Illicit Gl

„Alles ist gut, Schatz.“ Das ist es, was Steven ihr seit Monaten sagt. Aber heute Abend, auf der Feier zu ihrem Hochzeitstag, wird Shirley das Gefühl einfach nicht los, dass etwas ganz und gar nicht stimmt. Ihr Ehemann, einst so aufmerksam und präsent, wirkt jetzt fern und unnahbar. Seine ausweichenden Blicke, sein gezwungenes Lächeln ... und diese eine SMS, die er so krampfhaft zu verbergen versuchte. „Wir können so nicht weitermachen. Du musst ihr die Wahrheit sagen.“ Die Nachricht leuchtet auf seinem Handy auf und Shirley spürt, wie ihre Welt aus den Fugen gerät. Sieben Jahre Ehe, ein Leben wie aus dem Bilderbuch: ein perfektes Zuhause, eine wundervolle Tochter, ein liebender Ehemann ... das dachte sie zumindest. Doch hinter den verschlossenen Türen ihres Heims türmen sich die Lügen. Und Shirley, das einstige Wunderkind, das ihre glänzende Karriere für die Familie aufgegeben hat, steht kurz davor, mit einer Wahrheit konfrontiert zu werden, die alles zu zerstören droht. Verrat, vergrabene Geheimnisse und unmögliche Entscheidungen – Shirley wird in ein Labyrinth der Täuschung gestoßen, in dem jede neue Enthüllung sie einer herzzerreißenden Entscheidung näherbringt: Bleiben und verzeihen ... oder alles aufs Spiel setzen, um sich selbst und ihr Leben zurückzuerobern? „Manchmal befreit dich die Wahrheit nicht. Sie zerreißt dich.“

Rocco Falcone, le Don de la famille Falcone et mon soi-disant mari, m'a raccroché au nez pour ce qui m'a semblé être la quatre-vingt-dix-neuvième fois. Après avoir reçu un diagnostic de leucémie, j'ai traîné mon corps ravagé jusqu'au cabinet de l'avocat de la famille. « Je viens pour le divorce », ai-je dit. … Quand Rocco l'a appris, il est arrivé dix minutes plus tard avec ma famille. À peine est-il entré qu'il m'a giflée. « Tu as utilisé la ligne d'urgence juste pour gâcher la grande soirée de Sofia ? Tu es devenue folle ? », a-t-il crié. Lily Marone, ma mère, m'a arraché le diagnostic des mains et l'a parcouru rapidement. Elle a laissé échapper un rire méprisant. « Tu as encore fait semblant d'être malade pour attirer l'attention ? Combien de mensonges as-tu racontés depuis que tu es enfant, Claire ? » Sofia Moretti tenait le bras de Rocco, les larmes aux yeux. « Pardonne-moi, Claire. Je n'aurais pas dû accepter ce poste. S'il te plaît, arrête de te faire du mal… et de faire du mal à Rocco. » J'ai essuyé le sang au coin de ma bouche, puis je me suis tournée de nouveau vers l'avocat. « Je n'avais plus de famille. Veuillez accélérer la procédure de divorce. J'ai besoin que tout soit réglé avant ma crémation, dans trois jours. »

Als ich versuchte, eine neue Gefährtenurkunde zu beantragen, teilte mir die Abteilung für Werwolfangelegenheiten mit: „Deine Gefährtenurkunde ist gefälscht. Bei uns gibt es keine Registrierung auf deinen Namen.“ Ungläubig fragte ich nach: „Sam und ich haben uns doch vor fünf Jahren registrieren lassen. Das kann doch nicht sein! Bitte überprüfen Sie das noch einmal…“ Der Sachbearbeiter durchforstete erneut unsere Daten. „Die Akte von Alpha Sam habe ich gefunden, aber als registrierte Partnerin ist nicht dein Name eingetragen.“ Mit zitternder Stimme fragte ich weiter: „Wen hat Sam denn offiziell als Gefährtin eingetragen?“ „Lily“, antwortete der Beamte ehrlich. Ich klammerte mich krampfhaft an der Stuhllehne fest, um nicht das Gleichgewicht zu verlieren. Bis zu dem Moment, in dem er Lilys Namen nannte, hatte ich noch gehofft, es handle sich um ein Missverständnis. Aber ausgerechnet sie—Sams Jugendfreundin! In dem Augenblick, in dem ich die Wahrheit erfuhr, ergab plötzlich alles einen Sinn. Fünf Jahre lang war ich Sams Gefährtin, doch er hatte mich nie markiert. Vor fünf Jahren hatten wir lediglich eine Paarungszeremonie abgehalten. Ich war voller Vorfreude gewesen, hatte mich auf ein gemeinsames Leben gefreut—und am Ende stellte sich heraus, dass die Gefährtenurkunde gefälscht war. Die Verbindung, für die ich einst alles aufgegeben hatte, die fünf Jahre des vermeintlichen Glücks—alles war nichts weiter als eine Illusion! Da all das nicht mir gehörte, blieb mir nichts anderes übrig, als zu gehen.

The air crackled with menace, each syllable a poisoned dart. "You belong to me. You'll serve me. Do this and be quiet if you want to live." These were the ironclad words that slammed down on Miguel and Alejandro, forging a link of fear and obligation. Miguel , a shadow in the city's underbelly, found his deadly profession twisted into a personal debt. A botched hit, a life spared – the mafia prince demanded repayment in flesh and loyalty. Now, Miguel 's existence was tethered to a man he was meant to extinguish. Alejandro, the journalist with a voice too loud for the prince's liking, became collateral damage in this dangerous game. His relentless pursuit of truth had landed him squarely in the crosshairs. One careless encounter, a desperate attempt by Miguel to silence Alejandro's probing questions with a kiss – a spark ignited in the suffocating darkness. It was a kiss meant to quell, but it unfurled a landscape of unexpected desire. Suddenly, the stakes were higher than survival. The illicit touch had awakened a fierce passion, a dangerous intimacy blooming between captor and… something more. Yet, the prince's wrath was a constant shadow, threats lurked in every corner, and the chasm of their circumstances stretched between them like a vast, unforgiving ocean. Could this fragile connection withstand the forces determined to tear them apart? the constant threat of exposure, the weight of their conflicting worlds, and the ever-present danger? Could Alejandro find a way to reconcile his principles with the undeniable pull he felt for his captor? Could Miguel risk the stability of his empire for a love born in captivity? Would their love become a casualty of the very danger that brought them together, or would they fight to keep its flame alive against impossible odds?

"I hope you're not a minor, kitten? I don't wish to commit two sins together." "Fuck! I can't wait to taste you." "Bend on your knees and spread those legs, kitten! I want to see all of you." Some desires should never be touched. They burn too brightly, shine too dangerously, leave marks you can’t hide and once tasted, they consume everything. Forbidden fruit tastes sweet, they say. But they never mention the burn that follows, how addictive it is, the filthy obsession that settles in your bones. That’s what he was, a sin she couldn’t resist, a danger she wanted to fall into again and again. Katherine Smith, 19 years old, all-American innocence with her long light brown hair and piercing blue eyes. But her body tells a different, more provocative story, lush, curved and ripe, a woman’s voluptuous form that belies her youthful gaze. Her not-so-happening life takes a turn with the arrival of Vincent Morris, her mother’s 36 years old step-brother. Vincent is a storm given human form, tall, powerfully built with dark blond hair and watchful brown eyes that seem to see through every polite pretense. He knew it was illicit, she knew it was wrong, both of them knew it was forbidden, but they couldn't stop themselves from that intoxicating desire. Vincent, the older, dominant guide, introduces Katherine to the art of power that comes from acknowledging desire, to a world where pleasure is a transaction, a language. He teaches her that her body is a formidable instrument and he shows her how to play it. It's all about indulging in those hidden cravings with no boundaries, where pleasure knows no limits and desire is the only rule. Dive into the world of love, lust and forbidden desire.

Si vous et la femme que votre mari n'a jamais pu oublier aviez un accident de voiture en même temps, qui est-ce qu'il sauverait ? Quand Étienne Dupont a pris dans ses bras la femme qu'il n'a jamais pu oublier et qu'il est parti, Adèle Caron, avec la vie qui s'échappait d'elle, a perdu non seulement son enfant, mais aussi son cœur. Par un simple échange, Adèle avait réussi à épouser l'homme qu'elle aimait plus que tout. Tout le monde savait que ce mariage, elle l'avait arraché — en brisant l'union entre Étienne et la femme dans son cœur.

Jusqu'à ce qu'elle enterre de ses propres mains l'enfant qu'elle portait depuis trois mois. Ce jour-là, elle s'est réveillée. « Divorçons. » Un simple papier, et tout était réglé. Trois mois plus tard, parmi les robes éclatantes et les visages souriants, elle est montée sur scène pour recevoir un prix. L'homme l'a regardée, surpris, puis a déclaré calmement à ceux qui l'entouraient : « Oui, c'est ma femme. » « Ta femme ? » Adèle a esquissé un sourire et lui a tendu le contrat de divorce : « Désolée, Monsieur Dupont, c'était ex-femme. » L'homme, d'ordinaire si froid et impassible, a perdu le contrôle. Les yeux rougis, la voix tremblante : « Quelle ex-femme ? Je n'ai jamais reconnu ce mot ! »

“If our marriage were already claimed before the whole pack, I would make sure your ex-mate was watching as I make you moan my name, until your voice breaks... Elena.” He whispered slowly. "But… we need to stop before someone walks in and sees us like this," Elena murmured, as she pressed back against him. *** Elena Monroe once poured her entire soul into helping her mate, Drake Hamilton, the proud Beta of the Crescent Moon Pack, to remember the bond they shared before the accident stole his memories. Instead of returning to her, Drake chose Cassandra Travers, a glittering celebrity with a noble name and a perfect smile. Then everything exploded. At Drake's lavish birthday party, Elena faced allegations of drugging and sleeping with him.

Sorrow transformed into rage. She didn’t just survive but she evolved. A reckless night with the man she previously referred to as her guardian sparked an illicit fire neither could put out. Now hidden in a city far from her pack, she is no longer the broken omega they underestimated. She is ready to reclaim her life and destroy those who dared to ruin it. But when her ex-mate's memories finally come back, Elena finds herself torn between revenge and a love she ought to avoid. And this time, her children’s lives hang in the balance.

He rejected me, and then he realized I’m the center of his world. Bummer. Una I keep my head down. In this backwards pack, females rank low, and my bad leg makes me damaged goods. It doesn’t help that I’ve never shifted. I don’t mind the late twenties single life, though. No one’s paying any attention as I build an illicit farmer’s market empire. My roomies and I are doing it for ourselves, and if life under Killian Kelly is stifling, at least it’s predictable. We can deal. But when biology finally kicks in, I lose my mind. I claim our alpha as my mate. And he rejects me in front of the whole pack. It’s all good. It only hurts when I breathe. I’ll survive. That’s what I do. Who wants an arrogant jerk for a mate, anyway? I’ve got a business to run. Killian To lead this pack out of the dark ages, I’ve had to be hard. Merciless. I don’t flinch, and I don’t make mistakes. Una Hayes isn’t my mate. My wolf might have some kind of strange infatuation, but if she were mine, I’d know it. And I can walk away, can’t I? And if I keep coming back? If she starts living in my head? I’m the strongest male in five generations. My pack scrambles to do my bidding. I can bring one quiet female back in line. No one can possibly be as stubborn as I am. There’s no way I’ve ruined the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I’m the Quarry pack alpha. I don’t lose.
