Plush Couch

Sandra Kinsey's dance studio was where she buried her passion. It was also our secret place. No one else was allowed in. No one but me. Until one day, her assistant barged in, using a love for Latin dance as an excuse, and danced with her intimately. Sandra didn't push him away. That was the moment I knew—you can't make someone stay when their heart has already left. I stripped her of her authority, took over the company myself, and gave Sandra all the freedom she could ever ask for. But later, eyes red and voice trembling, she looked at me and demanded to know why. I sat on the couch and glanced at her with indifference. "Freedom," I said, "always comes at a price. Doesn't it?"

So this is how the mate bond feels. A rush of energy, a pull like gravity tightening around us, and an almost maddening awareness of the other person. I wasn’t about to let it sway me though. Sure, the man in front of me is ridiculously perfect, but I wasn’t some love-struck fool who’d drop everything at the first spark of fate. I had a life, plans, and a fiancé waiting for me upstairs. I raised an eyebrow, forcing myself to stay calm even as my heart raced. “Take a number and get in line, sweetheart,” I said coolly, flashing the engagement ring on my finger in front of his gray eyes. “I’m otherwise occupied right now.” …Five years later, when I pushed the door open, my mate remained motionless on a leather couch, his piercing gaze boring into me with a cold detachment that sent shivers down my spine. He leaned back, the casualness of the gesture at odds with the intensity in his eyes. His arms rested lazily on the backrest, but there was nothing relaxed about him. His body was coiled tight, like a predator ready to pounce, and the air between us crackled with tension. “Is my number finally up?” he asks, his tone laced with bitter amusement. “My dear mate.” The words sting, but I can’t deny the truth in them. He is my last chance.

His eyes darkened as he leaned closer, placing a finger on my mouth. “Uh-uh, what did I say you call me when we're alone?” My body tingled with heat. “Daddy?” “Urgh…” A guttural groan tore from his chest. “Yes, baby?” My mind spaced for a second and Andre took advantage of that, tucking his hands under my legs and carrying me bridal style. “Andre, what are you doing?!” I shriek, dangling my legs in the air. “Finishing what we started, baby.” he chuckled, heading straight for the front door. I shook my head in bemusement. His daughter just found out about us and his brain goes straight to sex? Men… I wasn't any better though as I just waited for him to cross that threshold and pounce on me, instead of dissuading him. He strode over to the loveseat couch, sliding me down his body before pushing me back to the couch. Propped up on my elbows, I looked up at him with hooded eyes, only for the the door knob to flip. My eyes widened and instantly, I jerked up to my feet, coming to stand behind Andre. I had no idea who it was as Claire would have just barged right in. The door opening seemed to take several minutes but in reality, it was only seconds. It swung inwards to reveal Leila, the last person I was expecting to see. She took one look at us and wasn't in the least bit surprised. “So it's true?” Those cold grey eyes moved over to me. “You're the whore that's fucking my husband?”

We tumbled onto the couch, a tangle of limbs and breathless gasps. His touch was everywhere, exploring, teasing, and I matched him with equal fervor. The world outside ceased to exist; there was only the two of us, lost in this heady intoxication. His lips traced a path down my neck, his hands exploring the curves of my body as if mapping them for the first time.yy “Do you want this?” he whispered, his voice hoarse with need. “Yes,” I breathed, my voice trembling with anticipation. ____ With the death of her parents, the bankruptcy of the company, and the betrayal of her fiancé, Emma Parker goes to a bar to get drunk, but accidentally takes Logan Carter as her pimp and sleeps with him, and the next day Emma Parker is afraid to see Logan Carter' face and leaves in a hurry (Logan Carter wears a mask) .

A knock on my office door startled me and I looked up just in time to see the last person I expected in my workspace. "Hello, dolcezza. How's your day going?" He invited himself in without asking me for permission as he knew that he rendered me speechless from the unexpected appearance he made of himself at my office. He settled down comfortably on the couch and smiled softly at me like we were in a healthy, happy relationship and he just came here to give his lover a surprise visit! Damn him… "What the hell are you doing here?" I asked coldly and he shook his head in amusement. "Last time after you asked the same question, I made love to you on your couch!" He winked at me. x------------x "Isabella, a hard-working architect who wants nothing more but to get rid of her past.... --- Alexander, an arrogant billionaire who wants nothing more but to make Isabella never forget her past!"

Vincenzo Moretti était le plus jeune magnat de la finance à Paris. Il dirigeait un groupe technologique coté en bourse, pesant plusieurs milliards d'euros, et faisait la une des magazines économiques comme l'un des nouveaux prodiges de la capitale. Mais seuls quelques initiés savaient qu'il était en réalité le parrain qui contrôlait le cœur même de la mafia du sud de la France. La richesse, le pouvoir, le destin… à ses yeux, ce n'étaient que des pions sur un échiquier. Et moi, je n'avais été qu'une pièce qu'il avait utilisée pour sceller une alliance entre familles. Dix ans de mariage… pendant lesquels il avait couché avec mes amies, mes collègues, avec des personnes en qui j'avais placé toute ma confiance. Un matin, je portais notre bébé à peine un mois pour aller à un contrôle médical. Sa dernière maîtresse, Sienna, a foncé sur moi en voiture. Mon enfant pleurait à s'en étouffer et je l'ai suppliée de nous emmener à l'hôpital. Lorsque Vincenzo est arrivé, son visage n'exprimait que le mépris. « Isabella, depuis quand as-tu appris à te jeter sous les voitures ? Même si tu mourais devant moi, je ne te jetterais pas un seul regard. » Puis, il a tourné les talons, la main serrée dans celle de sa nouvelle conquête. Quand j'ai finalement été conduite à l'hôpital, le bébé avait déjà cessé de respirer. Ma mère, en apprenant la nouvelle, a été foudroyée par une crise cardiaque… elle n'a pas survécu. Je suis restée deux jours dans le coma. À mon réveil, Vincenzo n'était pas venu. C'est son père, Renato Moretti, le véritable vieux parrain, qui se tenait devant mon lit. Je l'ai regardé dans les yeux et j'ai dit calmement : « Laissez-moi partir. Ce que je devais à votre famille, je l'ai déjà payé de ma vie. » Plus tard, cet époux mafieux qui m'avait toujours traitée avec froideur s'est agenouillé devant moi pour me supplier de revenir. Mais je n'étais plus cette femme pitoyable qui baissait les yeux en l'attendant. J'étais… celle qui tourne les talons et ne se retourne jamais.

Lors de la cérémonie de mes dix-huit ans, le vieil Alpha m'a demandé de choisir l'un de ses deux fils comme compagnon. Celui que je choisirais hériterait du statut d'Alpha à l'avenir. Sans hésiter, j'ai choisi son fils aîné, Cassien. Tout le monde dans la salle de banquet ont eu l'air stupéfaits. Après tout, tous de la tribu de Lune Argentée savaient que moi, la fille de la famille Gabriel, j'étais déjà follement amoureuse de Kévin, le plus jeune fils de l'Alpha. Je lui avais déclaré mes sentiments à plusieurs reprises lors de bals, et j'avais même reçu un coup de dague en argent d'un chasseur pour le protéger. Et Cassien était connu comme le loup-garou le plus cruel et froide, et tout le monde l'évitait. Ce qu'ils ignoraient, c'est que dans ma vie précédente, j'étais devenue la compagne de Kévin. Mais le jour même de notre mariage, il était allé coucher avec ma sœur en secret. Ma mère, furieuse, avait marié ma sœur à un bêta de la tribu de Loups Noirs voisine. Ainsi, Kévin nourrissait d'une haine farouche à mon égard. Il avait ramené cent louves séduisantes et magnifiques d'autres tribus, toutes avec les mêmes yeux bleus que ma sœur. Quand il avait appris que j'étais enceinte, il avait même couché avec elles devant moi. Chaque jour était une agonie. Finalement, le jour où j'accouchais, il m'avait enfermée dans le sous-sol, interdisant à quiconque de s'approcher. Mon bébé était mort étouffé dans mon ventre, et j'étais décédée avec rancune. Peut-être que la Déesse de la Lune a eu pitié de moi et m'a offert une seconde chance : je suis revenue à la vie. Cette fois, j'ai décidé de renoncer à lui pour le laisser vivre son amour. Mais contre toute attente, Kévin a commencé à regretter.

“I'm not just the vampire king of tales, Ellie. I'm a talented artist.” Vanchure said with every stroke he made on the canvas with his paintbrush. “So you can either be the one posing on my couch, behind the canvas, or be the one whose blood I will use in replacement for paints.” In a mystical world named Shirlon, there was a division of two powerful mythical creatures, two great kingdoms, with two great rulers. Speaking of which were the Black Pack, the werewolves, and the Thorx Coven, the vampire with the respect of law and order. These two kingdoms had a ball of symbiosis where they worked hand in hand to maintain their stable world. The werewolves were considered as the soldiers, the ones left to do the tough and dirty jobs within both kingdoms. While the soldiers had the day and night to themselves, the vampire blossomed in the dark. The vampires were also known as Royalties. They've been known to have ancient riches, making them superior to the soldiers. In these two kingdoms, they had their kings. Eamonn, Alpha of Black Pack, and Vanchure, king of Thorx Coven. They had maintained the order of peace and had always set their boundaries between each other until Ellie came along. Ellie was born of the soldiers, just a commoner that the Alpha of her Pack proclaimed as a mate. Ellie was set on a path to rescue her missing sister from the hands of the vampire king, Vanchure. But on her first encounter with that handsome devil, her whole life takes a different turn.
