Pool Dares

Kehidupan Liliana Shakira berubah 180 derajat setelah pertemuannya dengan Lucas Wang. Pria tampan yang merupakan aktor terkenal papan atas yang tengah terlibat skandal. Dan pertemuan mereka di awali di kolam renang dimana Lucas tinggal sementara, untuk menghindari kejaran para awak media. Tanpa Shakira ketahui Lucas telah menghuni rumah di sebelah rumahnya yang ia pikir kosong karena pemilik telah pindah. Shakira gadis yang cantik, memiliki tinggi 165 cm dengan kulit putih bersih bak porselen juga bentuk tubuh dambaan kaum Adam, mampu membuat Lucas melakukan hal gila dengan memperkosanya. Namun dari sanalah awal kisah mereka. Lucas yang candu akan kegiatan panasnya dengan Shakira meminta wanita itu untuk menjadi penyelamat atas kasus skandalnya. Juga sebagai alibi untuk menuntaskan hasratnya pada Shakira, memanfaatkan dan mengurung Shakira dalam genggaman tangannya. Namun siapa sangka, pria berusia 28 tahun dengan wajah bak dewa Yunani dan bentuk tubuh proporsional itu kalah dari permainannya. Shakira berbeda dengan para wanita yang mengejarnya. Bahkan Shakira tak mengenalnya sebagai aktor terkenal di pertemuan pertama mereka. Shakira juga lebih memilih lepas darinya dan mempertahankan perasaannya pada sang mantan. Wanita itu bahkan membuang kartu atm dengan saldo ratusan juta yang Lucas kirimkan tepat ke wajahnya. Namun bukan Lucas namanya jika tidak bisa mendapatkan wanita yang ia inginkan. Ia akan mendapatkannya apapun yang terjadi, meski harus melepas status aktor yang sebenarnya sudah lama ia ingin berhenti, juga mengorbankan nyawanya sendiri. Ditambah melewati kedua orangtua Shakira yang ingin membuatnya mati karena tak merestui. Namun semua berbuah manis saat Shakira menyadari bahwa ia telah jatuh hati, pada Lucas dan pada semua yang Lucas lakukan sebagai bukti. Lucas rela melepas statusnya sebagai public figure hanya untuknya, bahkan rela mati di hadapan orangtuanya guna menunjukkan kesungguhan hatinya. Dan ia tak akan ragu lagi bahwa ia bersedia menemani Lucas sampai akhir hidupnya.

Jace Steadman. My best friend’s father. Older. Controlled. Quiet in a way that makes my pulse stutter. A man who never looks twice at anyone… Except this time, he looked at me. One glance at my ruined makeup and shaking breath, and suddenly he felt too close. Too warm. Too dangerous. His voice was gentle when everyone else had been cruel. And when he sat beside me beneath the glow of the fire, I felt something I hadn’t felt in years: Wanted. Not sweetly. Not politely. But with a quiet, restrained hunger that made my heart slam against my ribs. To distract me from the pain—and to stop himself from touching me—we made a game of it: Twelve days. Twelve dares. No rules… except the ones we couldn’t stop breaking. A whispered challenge in the dark became a dare. A dare became a touch that lingered too long. A touch became a pull neither of us knew how to resist. He shouldn’t crave me. I shouldn’t crave him back. But the more we tried to stay respectable, the more our restraint fell apart. The lodge turned into a minefield of temptation—Christmas lights, stolen glances, near-kisses that burned hotter than the fire. Jace wasn’t just a man I wanted. He became the man I couldn’t stop fighting—and falling—for. If anyone finds out, my life falls apart. His reputation shatters. Everything explodes. But desire doesn’t care about consequences. And this Christmas, I’m done being careful. Done being quiet. Done pretending I don’t want the man who looks at me like I’m the first real taste of life he’s had in years. Twelve days. Twelve dares. One forbidden man I can’t walk away from… even if he ruins me.

BXB Kane Trésor is annoyed that he had to move six hours away, into a new home and even worse, share a room with his step-sister Ally. Even the new school he has to attend has the most annoying type of kids, and let's not even mention the jocks that truly believe they're up and above everyone else. But Kane has to include himself in the surrounding, that was why he agreed to go to the welcome party at a football guy's house. Kane was having a good time, but he found a few people playing pool downstairs. And that's when he met him. Jay Kalister had been intriguing from the moment he met him. He was frail, pale and had the most beautiful blond curls he had ever seen. He was way too friendly, and Kane cannot help but pursue a friendship with this boy. But there are secrets that a being kept...something happened months ago that nobody speak on, but everyone knows happened. And it involves Ally, Jay and Jasper, the captain of the football team. They did something to Jay, but nobody's admitting to it, and Ally tries to break the friendship between Kane and Jay as much as she can before he uncovers the truth. But she never realized how difficult it would be to break such a bond...certainly when feelings start to surface between Kane and Jay....

“You! What do you think you're doing?” She squealed, her eyes wide as she scrambled backwards in a panic. He didn't stop and instead, backed her up until she was sandwiched between the wall and himself. His hand grabbed her waist and pulled her flush against him before leaning down till his lips was level with the her ear. “What do you think I'm doing?” His voice was a deep baritone that made her tremble. Her face flushed as she felt the signs of her arousal. He stuck out his tongue and lapped at her earlobe making her tremble and whimper. “Of course, I'm trying to get closer to my Luna.” With that, he didn't wait for her to say her usual protest of “I'm not your Luna” before he captured her lips in his, kissing her till her knees turned to jelly. Laila Reeds felt like her life was the happiest it could be and that nothing could go wrong. Her Alpha loved and cherished her. Her pack was flourishing and she was happy. But good things always come to an end. Laila suddenly finds that everything that her world was built on were lies and what she thought was love was only a ploy to get something from her. Shattered and condemned to death, she thought she wouldn't make it. But then he came. With his silver hair and violet eyes, he descended and killed her enemies while saying “Who dares to touch my mate?” Even with this, Laila wasn't moved as her heart was already dead. “Dead? Her heart is dead? What a joke. Watch how this Luna doting Lycan nurses her heart back to health. Soon, her heart would be beating again and it will be beating only for me.” he proclaimed with a confident smile.

Halos muntik lang naman malunod habang lumalangoy ang kapatid ni Hadden, at para diyan, itinulak niya ako sa pool pagkatapos itali. Iniwan niya lang ako ng maliit na butas para sa hangin na may sukat na isang pulgada. Sinabi niya na pagbabayaran ko ang lahat ng doble para sa bawat pagdurusang dinanas ni Julia. Hindi ako marunong lumangoy. Wala akong magawa kundi subukan ang aking buong makakaya habang umiyak ako at pinakiusapan siya na pakawalan ako. Pero ang natanggap ko lang ay leksyon. “Hindi ka matututo kung hindi kita tuturuan ng leksyon ngayon.” Nagpumiglas ako para manatiling nakalutang, pero… Inabot ng limang araw bago naglaho ang galit ni Hadden at itinigil niya na ang pagdurusa ko, pero huli na ang lahat. “Pakakawalan kita sa pagkakataong ito, pero huwag mo nang uulitin ang parehong pagkakamali!” Namatay na ako sa pagkalunod.

Hadden's sister had merely choked on some water at the pool while she was swimming, and for that, he shoved me into the pool after tying me up. He left me with only a small hole for air that was barely an inch. He said I would have to pay double for every grievance Julia suffered. I never learned how to swim. There was nothing I could do but try my best to breathe as I sobbed and begged him to let me out. Yet all I received was a lecture. "You'll never learn if I don't teach you a lesson now." I struggled to stay afloat, but… It took five days before Hadden's anger dissipated and he put me out of my misery, but it was already too late. "I'll let you go this time, but you'd better not make the same mistake again!" I had already drowned to death.

On my very first day at work, I received an unexpected "Carpool Request": "I am currently 3 weeks pregnant. Since I don't know how to drive and for the safety of my baby, I require my colleagues to take turns picking me up and dropping me off." "After some research, I found that your car is worth a lot of money, and it’s less than a year old, meeting my standards for a suitable ride. You will be responsible for driving me home today after work." "I don’t work overtime, so please pack up your things before clock-out time and leave the office on schedule." I frowned and immediately replied: "If you have no shame, I’m happy to donate it to someone who truly needs it!"

Rae just wanted to lose her virginity and forget the name of the boy who ruined her first time. So when her wild best friend dares her to visit Club Obsidian - a secret invite-only pleasure club where older men pick submissive girls for one unforgettable night - Rae agrees. She expected nerves. She expected heat. She didn’t expect a hot and sexy tattooed stranger in his forties with a tongue piercing, three rings, and a voice that could melt bone. He didn’t ask for her name. He just whispered, “Dance for me, kitten.” And by morning, Rae was ruined - in the best way possible. But her world shatters when she walks into her mother’s house… and finds him standing in the living room. Because the man who owned her body last night? Is her stepfather’s brother. Her step-uncle. Now he’s living in the pool house, teasing her at dinner, flexing shirtless by the pool, and whispering filthy things when no one’s around. He says it was supposed to be one night. But the way he touches her? The way he stares at her like he’s starving? He doesn’t want to let go. And neither does she. Even if it means losing everything.
