Nick Joaquin May Day Eve

Alice Brown es un caso atípico en el palacio de los metamorfos.

Ella le demostrará que se equivoca. Y empezará por aprender mostrándole de lo que es realmente capaz. **—Tendrás que encontrar tú misma la respuesta a esa pregunta —se burló él—. No puedo decírtela. —¿Hay recompensa por responder correctamente? —pregunté atrevidamente mientras me inclinaba hacia atrás para mirarle a la cara. Cuanto más tiempo pasaba sentada en su regazo, más segura me sentía. Diosa, ayúdame.Sus ojos se oscurecieron y sus palabras salieron más como un gruñido: —Sí."Seduciendo al Alfa Mayor" es una obra de A.B. Elwin, autora de eGlobal Creative Publishing.

After I announced my exit from the music industry, the public response was overwhelmingly positive. The only person who voiced his objection was my girlfriend's rumored lover, the up-and-coming songwriter Lucas Zacker. He put on a show of sincerity in front of a crowd of reporters. "It's all a misunderstanding. Matthew is an irreplaceable talent in the music industry. I sincerely hope he returns to the stage." I shut off my phone and turned a blind eye to his public plea. In my past life, one of my songs had been identical to his supposedly original single. As such, netizens accused me of plagiarism, cursing me and wishing death upon my family. Frustrated, I posted the entire creation process online, but it couldn't stand up to the timeline. His new song had been released ten minutes ahead of mine. Just because of the ten-minute difference, netizens sent me photoshopped mourning portraits of myself and even went so far as to come to my house and vandalize it with paint. The relentless cyberbullying went on for years, and it drove me into a deep depression. My parents exhausted their life savings trying to clear my name, only for crazed fans to set our house on fire, causing my parents to burn to death. In the end, when his song won an award, I jumped off a building. But who would have guessed that when I opened my eyes again, I was reborn on the very day the new song was set to release.

"Limits, Charli. I'm going to f**k you like you've never been f**ked. Tell me now if I've crossed that limit. Tell me now if you don't want this." Words didn't form; instead, I pushed my ass backwards until it brushed against his erection. Sometime during his speech he'd freed it from the confines of his slacks. "Last chance, Charli." "Please."
