My name is Christian Thompson, and once upon a time, I was the best striker in European football. That was until he came along—Ashford Ryder, young and carefree, 10 years my junior and the new shining star. I hate him. At least that's what I tell myself. Not just because he's taken my spot, but because he's everything I've struggled all my life to be, and not to be. He's vibrant, he's happy, and the worst of all, he's openly gay. I'm not homophobic, quite the opposite—I've lived in the closet all my life. All my life, I've had to hide who I am to please the people around me. European football hasn't always been this accepting of gay men, and I'd squeezed myself into a box to fit in with what they wanted of me. It isn’t that hard when you think about my family who'd rather disown me than have an openly gay son. So imagine how I feel when the world decides to be more accommodating to people like Ashford Ryder when they shoved me in a box. It's not so easy to hate the happy-go-lucky striker, when he does everything to get close to me, despite my insistent hatred for him. He's like a thorn in my side—a hot, sexy, blonde, 5ft9 thorn I can't stop thinking about. But when one day I lose my cool around the popular striker and land myself in bad press, I end up needing his help. It's supposed to be easy. Spend some time with Ashford Ryder, and show our fans that we can work together—it's what I need to do to save my career. But no one tells you how hard it is to hate someone you spend every waking hour dreaming about.

Raíssa Freitas estava à beira de um colapso. O homem com quem ela havia passado a noite era seu professor universitário e, o mais desesperador de tudo, era que ela estava grávida. Tremendo, ela colocou o exame de gravidez à sua frente, e Alexandre Teixeira lhe deu duas opções: abortar ou se casar. Assim, Raíssa acabou se casando com seu professor universitário, sem mais nem menos. Após o casamento, eles passaram a dormir em quartos separados. Certa noite, o professor Alexandre apareceu à porta do quarto dela com um travesseiro. — O aquecedor do meu quarto quebrou, vou dormir no seu quarto esta noite. Raíssa, confusa, abriu a porta. Na noite seguinte, o professor Alexandre apareceu novamente. — O aquecedor ainda não foi consertado, vou dormir aqui mais uma noite. No final, o professor Alexandre acabou ficando no quarto dela. Ele dizia que estava economizando na conta de aquecimento para cuidar do filho. ... A Escola de Medicina da Ilha do Sol era uma das melhores do país, e o professor Alexandre era amplamente conhecido nela, sendo o mais jovem professor da faculdade de medicina. Ele sempre usava uma aliança de casamento no dedo anular, mas nunca era visto com nenhuma mulher. Mais tarde, um estudante, incapaz de conter a curiosidade, perguntou durante a aula: — Professor Alexandre, ouço dizer que o senhor já é casado. Quando vai apresentar sua esposa para a gente? Para surpresa de todos, o professor Alexandre apontou: — Raíssa. Uma médica profissional se levantou reflexamente do grupo de alunos e disse: — Presente. Sob o olhar de todos os estudantes, o professor Alexandre sorriu gentilmente: — Quero apresentar a todos. Esta é minha esposa Raíssa. Ela é uma excelente cirurgiã cardíaca.

My name is Caleb Greyson, I’m eighteen, unwanted by my parents, unwanted by God, abandoned by the only boy I ever loved—traded out like garbage for my mother’s sister.So if you’re looking for a happy love story, you will be disappointed.The university of Delaware would save me, or that’s what I thought, somewhere I could forget who I used to be.The old red buildings, beautiful towering trees, sunlight reflecting on ancient stones, everything looked perfect from the outside. Who knew pretty things could have sharp teeth?Now I’m trapped in a cracked room, with Lukas Carter, a closeted, arrogant and angry hockey player, deep in denial for a roommate.Then Tony, sweet, lonely Tony, who built his life around Lukas, gave up his whole future just to be close to Lukas. Standing in the same place for years, just waiting to be wanted.I didn’t want to get close, didn’t want to care. But we’re all slaves to loneliness.

I don’t want to talk about him.

"Mo*n louder, Raphael—let the whole palace hear who you belong to." "I hate you. *h—Xavier!" "If you hate me, then why are you drip*i*g all over my c*ck, little prince?" He’s my stepbrother. My enemy. The man I swore to ruin. I wear my pride like armor, and my hatred like a crown. He killed my mother. Stole my dreams. Took the throne I was born for. And yet, on the night I was to marry another… Xavier found me drugged and trembling—and buried himself so deep inside me, I shattered. "You were supposed to belong to him," he growled, thrusting until I sobbed, "but this h*le was made for me." I clawed at his back, cursed him, begged for more. My body? A traitor. "H*rd*r… F*ck, Xavier—d**per—" "You’ll ta*e every inch and thank me." I lied. Told the world he r***d me. Watched the king whip him bloody. It hurt to see. But revenge tasted sweeter. Later, I seduced his enemy. Let another man put a baby inside me—just to break him. But Xavier—cold, ruthless, and proud—still shields me from the shadows, even as he spits hate. And when he f*cks me, it’s war. "You want my hate?" he snarled, balls slapping against me, "Then take it. Take every inch until you forget how to lie." We are poison—dripping obsession, burning pride. And we’ll burn down heaven if it means one more night like this.

Casada há cinco anos, Luísa jamais imaginou que o próprio marido teria coragem de pedir que ela o "compartilhasse" com outra mulher. — Ela é muito importante para mim. Quero que você aceite a existência dela. — Disse ele. E ainda completou. — Contanto que você concorde, será para sempre a Sra. Monteiro. Ninguém jamais vai abalar a sua posição. Ela o conheceu quando estava no auge da desgraça. Rodrigo se casou com ela, a mimou, a encheu de cuidados. Luísa sempre acreditou que ninguém poderia amá-la mais do que ele. Mas agora descobria que tudo não passava de uma grande piada. Rodrigo nunca pensou que a mulher que ele havia cuidado com tanto carinho teria a ousadia de pedir o divórcio. Ele não a impediu, cedeu à teimosia dela, certo de que, ao não conseguir viver sem ele, ela voltaria para implorar seu retorno. Mas Luísa, apesar de ter um nome delicado, tinha um gênio forte. Preferiu se chocar contra a vida até sangrar, do que olhar para trás. — Você não consegue ceder, nem uma vez? — Perguntou ele. Mais tarde, Luísa cedeu. E foi justamente nessa vez que desapareceu por completo do mundo dele. Depois disso, Rodrigo, que nunca havia sentido medo antes, descobriu o que era estar aterrorizado. Mais adiante, Luísa apareceu diante dele de braços dados com outro homem. — Luísa, como você pode ser tão cruel? — Com os olhos vermelhos, Rodrigo disse, a encurralando contra a porta, tomado pela loucura da saudade.
