Pose Reference Sitting

My husband, Damien, loved me deeply—so deeply it felt like I was his whole world. Everyone said he was the perfect husband. Yet, he betrayed me. Not once, not twice, but three times. The first time was three years ago. His closest friend, Aaron, died saving him. Damien kept it from me and secretly married Aaron’s girlfriend, Vivian—on paper. I was heartbroken and ready to leave him. That night, he sent her abroad and fell to his knees, begging me. “Estelle, Aaron gave his life for me. I must take care of his widow. That marriage certificate is just a promise of security for Vivian. Once I’ve avenged Aaron, I’ll divorce her. The only woman I love is you.” I forgave him. The second time came the following year. At a press conference, Damien publicly introduced Vivian as the Mafia leader’s wife. He pulled me aside to explain. “Vivian is the only daughter of the Young family—the Mafia. Our two families joined forces for one reason only: to get revenge for Aaron. I’ve already made arrangements with her. Once we’ve dealt with our enemies, I’ll divorce her and marry you right away.” Once again, I believed him. Then came the third time. Someone drugged Damien at a banquet, and he spent the night with Vivian. He hid it from me until just two weeks ago, when I caught him at the hospital, sitting beside her during a prenatal checkup. That was when I finally learned the truth. He lowered his head, unable to meet my eyes, and spoke in a low voice. “Estelle, it was an accident. Once she gives birth, I’ll send her away. My parents will raise the child, and I swear—neither of them will ever appear in your life again.” In the name of love, Damien pushed me to compromise again and again. Yet now I know. There’s no future left for us. It’s time for me to walk away.

Sombre Ténèbre Dans le faste discret d’un hôtel de luxe au cœur des États-Unis, Nahia Velasquez, jeune femme sans histoires, vierge et désespérée, accepte de remplacer son amie call-girl pour une seule nuit , mais c'est une erreur , cette nuit avec un inconnu. Il ne dit pas son nom. Il ne pose pas de questions. Il la prend sans douceur, sans promesse. Et marque sa chair d’un désir qu’elle ne comprend pas. Elle pensait disparaître au matin, oublier cette nuit volée à sa propre vie. Mais il la réclame le lendemain . Quand elle refuse, il comprend. Elle n’est pas une prostituée. Elle n’aurait jamais dû être là. Mais Salvatore Caruso, chef incontesté de la mafia italienne, n’est pas un homme qu’on repousse. Il est à New York pour affaires. Il repartira bientôt pour Rome, où l’attend un empire bâti sur le sang et la peur. Il n’a pas le temps pour les jeux. Alors il lui fait une offre glaciale : 5 000 000 de dollars pour qu’elle soit à lui pendant six mois corps et âme . Elle signe un contrat , mais c'est une cage dorée et le diable comme geôlier. Nahia accepte parce que sa mère est mourante, et que les frais d’hôpital s’accumulent. Ce qu’elle ignore, c’est qu’elle vient d’entrer dans un monde où l’amour est une faiblesse, où le désir peut tuer, et où l’on ne s’enfuit jamais vraiment. Car Salvatore ne connaît ni la tendresse, ni la pitié. Il prend , il garde , il détruit. Mais Nahia n’est pas qu’un jouet. Elle pourrait bien allumer l’étincelle que même un roi des ténèbres ne saurait maîtriser. Ou se perdre à jamais dans ses sombres ténèbres.

I, Daphne Thorn, am an impoverished woman from the slums. William Blackburn, on the other hand, is the son of the richest man in Wylland. Unexpectedly, the two of us who share such vastly different identities end up being together. So far, we've tried out various difficult positions in our bouts of passion during our secret rendezvouses in secluded areas. Like the madman he is, William often torments me in every session. I'm so exhausted that I'm about to fall asleep. That's when a notification pops up on William's phone, which is sitting next to me. So, I take a peek at it. "William, my stomach hurts a lot! I'm suffering so much right now!" It's a text from someone named "Ellie". All the exhaustion in me disappears. I can feel my chest tightening up in discomfort. Once William is done with his shower, he leaves the bathroom and picks up his phone. "You should sleep first. I'm heading out," he says. When I see William turning his back on me, I blurt out, "Are you going to meet that childhood sweetheart of yours?" William wheels around to look at me. Suddenly, he moves to lift my chin. There is a trace of wariness in his eyes. "Don't go around sticking your nose in my business, Daphne. I like my woman docile and obedient." But I end up stalking William all the way to Royale Hotel, where I witness him visiting Elaine Moore, his childhood sweetheart. He coaxes her as though she's the most precious treasure in the world. I don't have the courage to question William in person. But still, I want to know who he thinks is more important to him—me or Elaine? So, I give him a call. "William, my gastritis is acting up again! It hurts so much! Can you drive me to the hospital?" I said. I use the same tactic that Elaine had used earlier. That night, I keep waiting for William, and yet he never returns to me. That's when I decide to not love him anymore.

"Quoi ? !" Elle s'exclame et se moque. "Est-ce que j'ai l'air d'une vulgaire salope pour toi ?" "Non. Tu as l'air convenable mais je veux juste être sûr que tu n'es pas attiré par moi comme tu l'as prétendu." Je vois bien qu'elle a menti. Elle me trouve attirant. Je sais que je suis le plus bel homme qu'elle ait jamais vu de toute sa vie. Mais elle ne veut pas que je le sache. Elle ne s'est pas encore remise du choc de ma question lorsque je pose ma main sur sa taille et que, l'instant d'après, mes lèvres sont sur les siennes. Elle halète lorsque je l'embrasse doucement. Ses yeux sont grands ouverts de surprise et je peux entendre son cœur battre deux fois plus vite que d'habitude. Mes yeux sont également ouverts parce que je veux voir son expression. Je peux sentir ses pensées. Elle n'arrive pas à croire qu'elle embrasse un autre homme juste un jour après avoir rompu avec son premier petit ami. Elle a l'impression de le tromper. Elle n'a jamais embrassé personne d'autre que son premier petit ami. Embrasser un autre homme qui est moi, c'est différent. Je sais tout cela d'après son expression. Je suis doux avec elle. Lorsque je mords ses lèvres inférieures, elle émet un gémissement et ferme les yeux pour profiter de l'instant, oubliant qu'elle essaie de cacher ses émotions à l'homme qui se tient devant elle. Je ferme les yeux à mon tour et je fais glisser ma main le long de sa cuisse, puis je soulève sa jambe gauche. Elle halète à nouveau. L'embrassant toujours, je la porte avec la jambe gauche jusqu'à la dalle, la plaçant dos au grand miroir. Je n'ai pas cessé de l'embrasser pendant que je me débarrassais de mon pantalon et de mon short.

Merciful Lies Lies can be merciful. It just depends on the why. Anna:I knew the second I saw him, my life would change forever. When my brother offers me as payment to Nico Fury, the king of the Vipers, how can I refuse? Tattooed, built, and tall, he was the only man I saw when I walked into the room. It was like he occupied all the available space, sitting on his throne of blood, sweat, and lies. Nerves assailed me, but I owed my brother too much to let anything happen to him. One night. That was all. But it would leave me wrecked. Actions always had consequences. Six months later, my brother was killed by a rival organization, and now they were after me. There was only one place I could go to keep my unborn baby safe. I just hoped the king would be merciful. Nico Perfect things didn’t exist, at least not in my experience. But she was pretty close. I had her in my bed for one night, and I couldn’t shake the memory. No, I wasn’t meant to keep soft things like Anna Keller. My life belonged to my crew, and we were a vicious group. Hell, we weren’t called Vipers for nothing. But she was different. She made me want, and I loved and hated her for it. Anna was light in a world of constant darkness. She was all warmth and beauty like no other. And I craved her like a drug. Six months had passed since I took her in return for clearing her brother’s debt to me, but that man attracted trouble like honey did flies. It wasn’t long before I learned Sam Keller had gotten himself killed. Less than an hour later, Anna came back to me, on her knees, asking for sanctuary. I knew the moment I saw the swell of her stomach she was carrying my baby. Anna thought coming here would protect her, but she was walking right into the Viper’s nest. Before I was finished, my little runaway would be begging me for mercy.

When I was surrounded by the rogue pack far from our territory, I mind-linked my mate, Alpha Luke, begging for help. He refused me fifteen times—and finally, he blocked the link entirely. In the end, I collapsed from exhaustion and lost consciousness, my wolf howling in despair. When I woke up in the infirmary, Alex, the commander of the Werewolf Tribe, was sitting quietly beside me. He was the one who had received my desperate mind-link. He led his warriors, crushed the rogues, and saved me from the jaws of death. Looking into his worried eyes, I no longer hesitated. I took a deep breath and said with unwavering resolve: “Alex, I’ve made up my mind. I’ll go to the Northern Territory for training. I leave in 2 days.” Ten minutes later, Luke barged into the room with Kristy—his so-called adoptive sister—and our twin pups trailing behind. Before anyone could speak, he kicked the door open and pointed at me, shouting with cold fury: “You staged this stunt just to outshine Kristy? Do you realize how much warrior strength you wasted just to feed your vanity? You are not worthy to be a Luna!” My elder son, Chris, gave me a sharp glance and scoffed: “Where’s the wound, Mom? You look perfectly fine. Did you fake this just to get attention?” My younger son, Collin, stared at me, eyes filled with disappointment. He shook his head slowly and whispered: “Mom, did you lie to us again… just because we care about Kristy more?” Kristy gripped Luke’s hand, her voice trembling with fake innocence and tears falling down her cheeks: “I’m sorry, Christina… I won’t celebrate my birthday again. Please… stop causing trouble for Luke and the twins.” I clenched my fists, restraining my furious wolf, and stopped Alex from standing up for me. I watched the four of them turn and leave without a second glance. Then, I turned to Alex and said, with icy clarity: “This time, I have no hesitation, no regret. I’m leaving. I’ll go with you to the Northern Territory. And I won’t eat my words.”

On the six-year anniversary of my relationship with my girlfriend, Sheila Loom, I buy some groceries with the intention to surprise her with a home-cooked meal. After I'm done, I head over to Sheila's place right away. That's when the reel I was watching automatically skips to the next one. It's a live stream where people call in to discuss legal matters. A familiar feminine voice drifts to my ears at that moment. "My boyfriend shelled out 500 thousand dollars to put me through school. I've already paid ten thousand back to him. "At first, I wanted to clear the debt before breaking up with him, but I don't want to wait any longer. If he insists on taking me to court after the breakup, can I still pay the debt off slowly?" Almost immediately, comments flood into the comments section, chewing her out and calling her a heartless wench. But the voice replies calmly, "If I truly were heartless, I wouldn't have paid him back to begin with. I no longer have feelings for him. Are you saying that I should sacrifice the rest of my life just so I can pay 500 thousand dollars back to him?" My heart skips a beat at that moment. It's true that I've spent 500 thousand dollars putting Sheila through school over the years. But I feel that I'm overthinking it, seeing as she's never brought up the matter of wanting to pay me back before. After I call Sheila repeatedly for half an hour, she finally answers my latest phone call. At the same time, the woman's phone call that's connected to the live stream is cut off. "It's my birthday today, Sheila—" "Have you secretly come looking for me again? Didn't we agree that we'll only meet up after you've successfully gotten into college?" I don't get to finish the rest of my sentence. Suddenly, I catch a glimpse of the notebook sitting on the corner of Sheila's table. The first page shows "debt repayment ledger". Some of the details are as shown. "The SAT study materials I bought for him: 188 dollars." "The Uber fees I've paid for him: 35 dollars." "The cologne I've gifted him on his birthday: 380 dollars." "Total: ten thousand dollars now paid."

He sabido desde la infancia que estaba destinada a aparearme con Kaden, el heredero Alfa de la manada Piedra de Luna. Como la única con el linaje bendecido por la Luna, soy la única loba capaz de romper la maldición que ha perseguido al linaje Alfa de Piedra de Luna durante generaciones. Hace un siglo, el ancestro de Piedra de Luna insultó públicamente a una Alfa caída durante su funeral. Se burló de ella diciendo: —Es solo una loba. ¿Por qué un funeral tan extravagante? ¿Cómo podría una hembra proteger a los nuestros? Probablemente se abrió camino hasta la cima durmiendo con otros. La Diosa Selene se enfureció. Lanzó una maldición perpetua. Cada heredero Alfa directo de la manada Piedra de Luna desarrollaría rasgos femeninos al cumplir los dieciocho años, regresando a la condición de un bajo Omega. Solo al aparearse con una loba bendecida por la Luna se podía levantar la maldición. Había estado enamorada de Kaden durante años y no quería nada más que salvarlo. Maya afirmó que ella también poseía el linaje bendecido por la Luna. Kaden intentó aparearse con ella, pero yo expuse su mentira y lo detuve. Obligado por sus padres, Kaden finalmente me convirtió en su Luna. Después de que me marcó, Kaden no retrocedió a Omega, pero tampoco despertó su linaje de Rey Alfa. Esa misma noche, una Maya desconsolada salió a caminar sola por el bosque, donde fue acorralada por una manada de renegados y despedazada. Mis padres y Kaden me odiaron por ello. Afirmaron que yo era una farsa cuyo linaje era impuro, y que por eso Kaden nunca ascendió verdaderamente. Estaban convencidos de que Maya era la verdadera bendecida por la Luna. Creían que mis celos y mentiras la habían matado y le habían robado a Kaden su oportunidad de convertirse en el Rey Alfa. En una noche de luna llena, Kaden me desgarró la garganta frente a toda la manada. Lanzó mi cuerpo a un pozo de plata para dejar que se corroyera. Lo último que escuché fue su rugido: —¡Perra mentirosa! ¡La muerte de Maya está en tus manos! Cuando abrí los ojos de nuevo, estaba de vuelta en el día en que Kaden llegó a la manada Luna de Plata para proponer apareamiento.

J’ai reçu une vidéo pornographique. « Tu aimes ça ? » L’homme qui parle dans la vidéo est mon mari, Mark, que je n’ai pas vu depuis plusieurs mois. Il est nu et sa chemise et son pantalon sont éparpillés sur le sol. Il est en train de faire l’amour avec une femme dont je ne peux pas voir le visage. Les seins dodus et ronds de cette femme rebondissent vigoureusement. Je peux clairement entendre les bruits de claques dans la vidéo, mêlés à des gémissements et des grognements de luxure. « Oui, oui, baise-moi fort, chéri », hurle la femme avec extase. « Vilaine fille ! » Mark se lève et la retourne, lui claquant les fesses tout en parlant. « Mets ton cul en l’air ! » La femme glousse, se retourne, balance ses fesses et s’agenouille sur le lit. J’ai l’impression que quelqu’un m’a jeté un seau d’eau glacée sur la tête. Ce qui est déjà mauvais, c’est que mon mari a une liaison, mais ce qui est pire, c’est que l’autre femme est ma propre sœur, Bella. *** « Je veux divorcer d’avec toi, Mark », j’ai répété au cas où il ne m’aurait pas entendue la première fois, bien que je sache qu’il m’avait clairement entendue. Il me regardait avec une mine renfrognée avant de répondre froidement : « Ce n’est pas à toi d’en décider ! Je suis très occupé, ne perds pas mon temps avec des choses aussi ennuyeuses, n’essaie pas d’attirer mon attention ! » La dernière chose que j’allais faire était de discuter ou de me quereller avec lui. « Je demanderai à l’avocat de t’envoyer le contrat de divorce », c’est tout ce que j’ai dit, aussi calmement que possible. Il n’a même pas dit un autre mot après cela et il est simplement passé par la porte devant laquelle il se tenait, la claquant durement derrière lui. Mes yeux se sont attardés un peu distraitement sur la poignée de la porte avant que je n’enlève l’anneau de mariage de mon doigt et que je ne le pose sur la table.
