“Shh, little girl,” he growled, teeth catching my bottom lip. I fought the moan, but he circled my clit, my hips jerked helplessly against his hand. Then he pushed my panties aside and sank two thick fingers inside me. I soaked his palm, knees buckling as tremors wracked me. “That’s it, cum for me,” he whispered against my ear. I did. Waves crashed through me while he held me up, stroking gently, murmuring filthy praise that made it sweeter, deeper, more shattering than anything I’d ever felt with a woman. I’m a lesbian. I’ve always known it, claimed it shamelessly. I’ve mapped women’s bodies with my mouth, hands, loving every touch and gasp. My best friend’s tongue between my legs has made me come countless times. The only man I tried, my ex, was awkward, unsatisfying. I swore off them forever. I love women. I love my best friend. So why does this man, her father, the one I should never want make me wetter with one stroke than she ever has? Why am I aching for his cock, pushed inside me, thrusting relentlessly, filling me, ruining me in ways no woman could? Why does bending over his desk for him feel like the right thing to do? One forbidden touch. One devastating truth: I might never want another woman again. When I rejected the vice chancellor's advances, my best friend's obsessive aunt, she threatened expulsion. My friend took me to her father, the college owner. One look at his body and I was lost. That night in their home, hiding in the kitchen while watching him cook, I touched myself, craving what is forbidden. Will my best friend discover my sudden addiction to her father? Will her aunt ever stop wanting me?

Saat aku terkena radang usus buntu akut, orang tua, kakak, dan tunanganku sedang sibuk merayakan ulang tahun adikku. Di luar ruang operasi, aku menelepon berkali-kali mencari kerabat untuk menandatangani formulir persetujuan, tapi semua orang menolak panggilanku dengan kejam. Setelah menutup telepon, tunanganku mengirim pesan. [Hana, berhenti bercanda. Hari ini ulang tahun ke-18 Wulan. Tunggu habis pesta dulu, kalau mau bicara.] Aku pun meletakkan ponselku dan dengan tenang menandatangani namaku pada formulir persetujuan. Ini sudah ke-99 kalinya mereka meninggalkanku demi Wulan. Kalau begitu aku ingin meninggalkan mereka juga. Aku sudah tidak sedih lagi atas sikap mereka yang pilih kasih. Sebaliknya, aku menuruti setiap permintaan mereka. Mereka semua mengira aku semakin pengertian, tapi mereka tidak tahu bahwa aku akan pergi selamanya.

Pacarku, Julian Jovan adalah grandmaster catur yang jenius. Waktu umurnya 16 tahun, dia jadi grandmaster termuda yang pernah ada di Benua Nathan. Aku habiskan 10 tahun hidupku untuknya, tapi dia nggak pernah ungkit soal pernikahan. Tapi, pas dia mencapai puncak karier dan memenangkan Grand Slam, dia tetap menolak ingkar janji yang dulu dia buat sama keluarganya soal karier. “Dalam rencanaku, nggak ada pernikahan atau komitmen jangka panjang lainnya sebelum semua targetku tercapai.” Mendengar ini, aku nggak debat dengannya. Aku diam-diam kemas kopernya untuk Kejuaraan Dunia dan doakan yang terbaik untuknya. Julian nggak tahu, saat dia mengangkat piala kejuaraan di hadapan dunia, aku dengan tubuhku yang sekarat sedang menandatangani surat persetujuan kematianku sendiri.

They were best friends and even more— or so she thought. Winnie and Jason had a love that felt unbreakable, destined… until he chose power and wealth over her. His betrayal shattered her heart and left her drowning in pain. Now working as a private caregiver for the same Alpha who turned out to be Jason’s brother-in-law, Winnie only wants peace and a quiet life. But fate has other plans. Because the man she’s meant to serve, the Alpha himself, is the same man she once had a passionate moment with. And somewhere between guilt, loyalty, and unspoken desire, Winnie finds herself falling for him all over again. She’s falling for her ex-mate’s powerful brother-in-law. Will she be strong enough to resist the bond pulling her closer to him, or will fate trap her once more in its cruel game of love, betrayal, and secrets?

The night before the annual gala, my wife promised me a big surprise. But the very next day, she publicly quintupled the marketing manager's bonus. To me, she just gave a curt nod and a half-hearted "keep up the good work". When I questioned her decision, she brushed it off casually. "You've racked up some impressive wins in court. I'll give you that, but let's be real. Without Kevin hyping you up, you'd never have hit top-tier status. Plus, what's mine is yours. Why nitpick over a bonus?" The room buzzed with anticipation of my explosion. But I held my tongue till the gala ended. The next morning, I marched into her office and slapped my resignation letter down on her desk. "Might as well tack my salary onto Kevin's. Consider it my wedding present to you." She erupted, branding me as narrow-minded and dooming me to the unemployment line. She conveniently overlooked my track record as a powerhouse attorney. For that alone, elite firms were lining up to recruit me.

“Aria,” He called my name so sweetly as my legs wobbled. No, no, no..I can’t fall for his charms again. “Don’t touch me!” My voice betrayed me. A moan came out as Lucas drew closer to me. “What do you think, that I will ever let you go? Never ever…” His breath fanned my face, and one more trick from him, then I’m doomed. I’m here for revenge, but he wants to ruin me. *** Aria, the girl everyone knows as the one marked under the blood moon. She was chosen by the moon goddess years ago to bear the mark, but little did she know what her destiny was. She was faced with so much torture from the people because they think that whoever bears that mark would cause nothing but destruction. Aria became a threat to the kingdom. Enemies wanting to take the one who bears the mark. And the one person she trusts betrays her. Lucas, his quest for more power made him sacrifice Aria to access the throne. Years later, war started in the kingdom, and Aria, the forbidden Luna, came back with a completely different personality, not that once sweet Aria they all knew but instead a strong and powerful Aria that no one could challenge. Lucas regretted everything he did to Aria, but Aria no longer wanted love but revenge. But with their mate bond activated and with nothing but revenge in her heart leading the kingdom to doom, Lucas must choose either to surrender to the mate he once betrayed or lose his world to the wrath of the Luna he forgot.

Sinusundan ng kuwento ang buhay at paglalakbay ni Juan, isang matalino ngunit karaniwang binatang ipinanganak na may payak na talento sa mundong ang kapangyarihan at paglinang ang nagtatakda ng kapalaran. Sa pamamagitan ng pagsisikap, talino, bihirang pagkakataon, at malulupit na karanasan, tinatahak ni Juan ang mahaba at mapanganib na landas ng paglinang—pilit na nilalampasan ang kanyang likas na kakulangan upang umangat tungo sa tunay na lakas. Sa kanyang paglalakbay, haharap siya sa mga pagsubok na buhay‑o‑kamatayan, matitinding pagkalugi, mababangis na sekta at karibal, at ang malupit na katotohanan ng mundong pinamumunuan ng lakas at walang-awang ambisyon. Mula sa simpleng pangarap na maging “isang taong may saysay,” unti‑unting hinuhubog ang kanyang landas ng paghihiganti, pag‑iral, pag‑ibig, at pag‑aklas laban sa kapalaran. Sa paglipas ng mga taon—at maging ng mga buhay—matutuklasan ni Juan ang mga natatanging teknik sa paglinang, haharapin ang siklo ng buhay at kamatayan, at susubukin ang hangganan ng kung ano ang maaaring maging isang tagapaglinang. Sa huli, tatahakin niya ang landas na wala pang sinuman ang naglakas-loob tahakin, tinatangka ang imposible at hinahamon ang mismong batas ng pag-iral.
