Kamar Pink

Pada malam sebelum pernikahan, tunanganku, Gavin, seorang profesor sejarah, mengadakan pernikahan dengan cinta pertamanya yang mengidap kanker di sebuah desa. Di bawah langit berbintang, Gavin merangkul June dan tersenyum lembut. "Menurut adat kuno, istri yang sah adalah yang lebih dulu melangsungkan upacara pernikahan. Meskipun aku sudah mengambil akta nikah dengan Mayra, dia tetap hanya selir rendahan." Setelah menerima ucapan selamat dari para tamu, mereka meminum anggur pernikahan dan memasuki kamar pengantin. Aku menyaksikan semuanya tanpa menangis atau membuat keributan, hanya diam-diam membuat janji untuk operasi aborsi. Sejak usia 15 hingga 30 tahun, aku mencintai Gavin dengan sepenuh hati. Aku mencintainya selama 15 tahun. Namun, di hatinya selalu hanya ada adik tiriku, June. Jika memang begitu, aku memilih untuk melepaskannya. Kemudian, aku bergabung dengan tim penelitian geologi Antartika yang terisolasi dari dunia. Aku hanya meninggalkan selembar surat perjanjian cerai untuk Gavin, juga sebuah hadiah perpisahan. Namun, entah kenapa, pria yang selalu meremehkanku itu tiba-tiba beruban dalam semalam.

Aku dan ibu mertuaku pergi liburan, setelah check-in di hotel, kami segera menuju kolam renang hotel. Namun terlihat seorang wanita yang berdandan rapi mengerutkan hidungnya sambil mengejek, "Ini hotel mewah, kok bisa ada orang macam-macam begini, jangan-jangan kalian menyelip masuk cuma untuk menebeng kolam hotel." "Renang sekolam dengan kalian, membuatku takut ketularan penyakit!" Aku dan ibu mertuaku segera kehilangan mood, aku menatap dingin dan berkata, "Kolam hotel itu untuk umum, semua tamu yang menginap boleh memakainya. Kalau kamu nggak suka, bangun sendiri di rumahmu." Wanita itu marah dan mengangkat alis sambil berteriak, "Berani kamu bicara lancang padaku! Tahu nggak, hotel ini milik suamiku, kamar suite terbaik di sini selalu menjadi milikku!" "Aku perintahkan kalian pergi dari sini sekarang juga! Tampang miskin begitu, mengotori air kolam saja, sungguh menjijikkan!" Aku dan ibu mertuaku saling bertatapan. Dari mata ke mata, bisa terlihat emosi dingin kami. Hotel ini memang milik Leonidas, tetapi sejak kapan dia menjadi suami orang lain?

Kira is an adopted daughter of a well-known heartless billionaire (Gerald Cranwell) who was sold by him into a contractually agreed marriage to the wealthiest family in the entire country to escape bankruptcy. Clueless Kira calm and collected could only just watch her life being handed over to a new home and her new world, tackling people from the highest society and struggling to look presentable before a husband she had never set her eyes on before. He never showed up at their wedding and she didn't know what he looked like in person. Trapped in a supposed marriage meant for two yet leaving alone, she grew tired of waiting and accepted her fate, living like a nobody and sleeping in her lonely world, not until a certain stranger crawled into her bed under the moonlight. Excerpts #1 She was dressed in her night attire, looking like a carved doll. Her eyes were shut and her brown hair which was as soft as a Pima cotton was spread wide on the soft pillows, her skin glowed underneath the light of the moon, which was the only light visible in the room, and her long lashes accompanied her pointy nose that laid beautifully above her rose pink lips. She enticed him. She made the beast in him growl out in desire. He craved her, he wanted her. Kira was in deep sleep when her nose caught a whiff of an unfamiliar scent. She didn't know what it was but her body craved it. She felt a certain presence but she was far too gone to wake up from her slumber. Unconsciously, her nipples hardened and her insides were on fire. She rotated on the bed as if she was been controlled and moaned and groaned as if she was being drugged.

I ripped his claws from my shoulders and pinned his arms above his head. He thrashed under me, his eyes flashing with something deeper than anger. That was when I sensed it. The sweet scent of cinnamon—the smell of a wolf’s arousal. We froze, our bodies pressed together, so close I could feel the tremors of his heart against mine. That wasn’t all….I felt his hardness, bulging and aching with need. “Don’t look at me.” He turned away, squeezing his eyes shut as his cheeks tinted pink with shame. “I give up, so just kill me already, I can’t take it anymore.” I swallowed hard, faltering yet again. But instead of recoiling, instead of mocking him, I crashed my lips against his. **** Darius Lane lost everything for the sake of love and freedom. Once a renowned Alpha betrothed to the princess of Fenrir, he was stripped of his title and dignity after he chose the man he loved over a Royal decree—the same man who betrayed and left him to bear the brunt of his actions. Out of despair, the young princess had taken her own life and Darius was condemned for murder, thrown at the mercy of Prince Kael, the ruthless tyrant who reduced him to less than a slave. But when Kael moves to end his life, the unthinkable happens. A mate bond sparks between them, turning the tides. The tyrant prince faltered for the first time in his life, unable to believe he was tied to his sister’s killer. And a man at that! It is a prison of desire for Darius, for he began to crave the cruel prince who takes pleasure in his suffering. Against their will, their wolves yearn for each other, and hatred soon blurs into obsession.

Elena Marlowe never imagined one night could change everything. At a mask gala event, she let herself forget the rules of her life. One dance led to one kiss... and then a night she swore would never leave the shadows. She didn't even know his name... only the storm in his grey eyes and the way he made her feel like someone else for once, like someone free. But secrets have a way of catching up. Weeks later, two pink lines shatter her illusion of escape. With no way to find the man who disappeared with the dawn, Elena chooses silence. She walks away from the life she knew, determined to protect her baby and her heart. Until fate intervenes. Her new job is a lifeline, a chance to start over. But her new boss? Cassian Wolfe, The Billionaire CEO. Who is sharp, ruthless and unmistakably the man from that night. He doesn't recognize her or so she hopes. But Cassian Wolfe didn't build an empire by being blind. The moment Elena steps into his office, something shifts. A flicker of familiarity. A tension neither of them can name. Elena fights to keep her secret buried. Cassian fights to uncover it. But when the truth begins to unravel, lines blur in between past and present, between power and vulnerability, between fear and the one thing Elena vowed never to feel again: love. Now Cassian wants answers. He wants control. And maybe... just maybe, he wants her. But some secrets are too big to stay hidden. And some hearts are too fragile to risk shattering again. Will Elena protect the life she's built? Or will the father of her child claim more than just the truth?

She hides behind ugly suits and fake names. He's done trusting women. When they meet in a masked sex club, neither realizes they've been fighting each other across boardroom tables for eighteen months. At Taylor Industries, she's Joy Smith—the frumpy CFO who drowns her curves in shapeless polyester and wearing a wig. At home, she's the forgotten wife of a cheating lawyer who hasn't touched her in so long she's starting to wonder if she's broken. When she finds hot pink lace panties stuffed in her couch cushions...definitely not hers, it's not heartbreak she feels. It's freedom. Grayson Taylor doesn't do relationships anymore. Not after walking in on his actress fiancée with another woman. Now he channels everything into hostile takeovers and board meetings, especially the ones where his overcautious CFO fights him on every goddamn acquisition. Joy Smith is brilliant, infuriating, and funny when he pushes all her buttons. But Honey is tired of being invisible. Tired of never having felt real pleasure. So, when her best friend gives her the details of The Velvet Room—Manhattan's most exclusive masked club—she promises herself just one night. One night to find out if her husband's right, if she really is frigid, or if she's just never been touched by the right hands. She doesn't expect the masked stranger who claims her the second she walks in. Doesn't expect the chemistry that ignites between them, the way he makes her body sing, or the orgasms that leave her shaking. Doesn't expect him to hand her an email address with one command: "Only me. No one else touches you."
