Response To Grand Rising

****** “Do I truly have no effect on you, Delia?” Rafe’s voice was low and husky as he slowly drew her into his embrace. His fingers trailed down the curve of her spine, igniting a spark that sent a shiver racing through her body. As she sucked in her breath, unable to tear her gaze away from him, he leaned in closer, his lips grazing the sensitive skin of her neck. “Does this not feel good?” he murmured, his warm breath fanning her damp skin. Delia remained silent, unable to form a coherent response as he trailed his mouth to hers, slowly capturing her lips in a searing kiss. ******* Delia Scott is seeking refuge from her troubled past on the tranquil shores of St. John, unaware that the moment she steps foot on the island, her fate is sealed. She is the destined mate of Raphael “Rafe” Donovan—the enigmatic and formidable Alpha of the Nightclaw Pack, one of the largest Coastal Wolves Pack. Rafe, rules with an iron fist and works tirelessly to maintain the delicate balance between the humans and werewolves that reside in St. John. After years of believing his fated mate was nothing more than a lost dream, Delia’s arrival changes everything. And now that he’s found her, he will stop at nothing to keep her by his side. As their destinies collide, Rafe and Delia find themselves ensnared in a tempest of desire and longing, each grappling with the depths of their emotions. But beneath the sun-drenched paradise, a sinister threat looms, waiting to tear them apart. And when a third player enters the game, questions arise—Is Delia truly meant for Rafe, or was she never his to claim?

"I love you," he gazed at her eyes which are dropped on the floor while he cups her cheeks with his palm. She doesn't look at his eyes. She seems scared. But with what he doesn't understand. "Do you not like me? Even a little bit?" his voice enunciates but she doesn't response to it. He waits for her answer but she doesn't reply him. He tries to back away from her. But as he is leaving, she holds his hands suddenly. "I don't know. I don't know whether I like you or not. I just don't want you to go away. I just don't want you to leave me," she says with the tears sparkling on her eyes. "Esther!" He presses his forehead against her as his breaths fasten. He can feel that along with his, her breaths are quickened as well. He realizes that the fire is burning on both side and she is equally anxious as she is. A smile creeps on his lips as he feels that. "I love you, Esther. You're made for me and I am made for you. We are made for each other," he smiles and presses his lips against her. "You're day dreaming one more time? What the fuck are you dreaming about Esther? Is it about my old man? Are you dreaming about him?" He pushes her against the wall and punches hard on the wall making his knuckles be red and bleed. "Nooo...Nooo... Caden! You're wrong," she cries.

“Will you be a good girl for Daddy?” His husky voice dripped with lust. “Yes, please fuck me hard, Daddy." I answered, breathlessly. His hands were all over my body as he pressed into me roughly and I could feel my pussy swelling in response to his hardness. "Good," he whispered against my ear, teeth nipping at my skin. "Because you'll be a damn good whore."He bit down again, pulling away from me long enough to grab one of my wrists and pin it above my head, then began fucking me hard, his hips rolling violently and slamming into mine in time with his movements. •• •• •• Camille Caldwell, tasked by her wealthy father to learn the ropes of business under the watchful eyes of a dear and trusted mentor, Gavriel found herself juggling between being a dutiful secretary and a seductive temptress at night.

Résumé : La Sirène et le Centaure Depuis des millénaires, un sang noir et salé coule entre les royaumes de la Terre et de la Mer. Les Centaures des plaines brûlent d'une haine viscérale pour les Sirènes des abysses, qu'ils tiennent pour responsables du grand Déluge qui engloutit leurs ancêtres. Une paix froide et fragile, tissée de mépris, est la seule loi qui prévaut. Éliane, princesse sirène promise au terrible Roi des Abysses, étouffe dans sa cage de corail et de devoir. Sa voix, capable d'apaiser les colères de l'océan, est son plus grand pouvoir et sa malédiction. Kaël, roi centaure et gardien des terres sacrées, porte le poids de sa couronne comme une entrave, son cœur de guerrier assoiffé d'une liberté qu'il ne connaît pas. Mais une prophétie ancienne, oubliée de la plupart, rôde : "L'union de l'Écume et du Sabot fera trembler le Trône des Cieux et précipitera les mondes dans le chaos." Leur amour est une étincelle au-dessus d'un baril de poudre. Lorsque leur secret est découvert, la fureur des dieux et de leurs peuples respectifs s'abat sans pitié. La mer se retire, laissant les royaumes sous-marins à sec. La terre se fissure, avalant forêts et troupeaux. Pour empêcher l'anéantissement total, un prix terrible est exigé : Éliane doit sacrifier sa voix magique, et Kaël sa liberté, acceptant des chaînes éternelles. À l'aube, sur une plage devenue le champ de bataille de leurs cœurs, ils se font face une dernière fois. Un baiser, à la fois doux et désespéré, scelle leur destin. Leur amour était-il une malédiction à éviter, ou la seule prophétie capable de sauver deux mondes qui ne savaient plus que se haïr ?
