Stake Damsel

My husband was sterile. Necrospermia, they said. His brother was in a coma and had no partner. Their mother wanted me to sleep with both of them and get knocked up with the family's heir. I refused and applied for a divorce. Ninety-nine times. Ninety-nine failures. Then, I put in the hundredth application. When that failed, I agreed to my mother-in-law's request, holding a pregnancy test result. My husband disagreed. That night, he stopped me before I could sleep with his brother. Harshly, he said, "My mother was just testing you. I can't believe you'd get pregnant with the illegitimate child." I was amused and annoyed. "You're the one who said yes, as long as I could get pregnant with your family's heir."

The perfect man to break my hymen tonight! Katelyn Hope Lopez went to a nightclub with a goal: to seduce a man to devirginize her. She thought heaven had been so kind to her that she found a perfect man who took her to paradise several times. After a night of pleasure, Kate left to travel to Hawaii. However, the plane she was on crashed and almost killed her when she fell into the vast sea. She awakened on a secluded island. What she didn't expect, however, was the person who saved her was the man whom she had a one-night stand with. To make the situation worse, she left with no choice but to live on the island alone with him. Until the shocking truth came to light, Kate found out that the man she shared the bed with numerous times was her husband's brother, Yael Montero, her illicit affair.

My best friend and I go to a music festival together. There, my brother's girlfriend locks me in the toilet. "Young women these days are so shameless—I can't believe you had the nerve to seduce my CEO boyfriend! I'm going to teach you a lesson today since your parents obviously didn't raise you right!" She refuses to listen to my explanation. She pours dirty water all over me before slapping me in public and stripping me. Then, she brands me with an insult. By the time my brother arrives, I'm tormented beyond recognition. "I can explain, Spencer! I thought you were lying when you said she was your sister!"

"You want to know what secrets I am hiding?" Dacre asked and I swallowed nervously. I nodded my head. "Well then you should submit to me," He said as his eyes darkened. "Submit?" I asked in confusion. "I will let you in on my secrets, and in exchange, you give me yourself. You are going to be mine...just mine." For every wound the world would inflict on Dacre, I would gladly let the blue eyed boy ravish me whole. Every. Single. Time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dacre Caldwell has been given a mission to complete that he wants to see through to stake a claim on the alpha title.

But she finds herself increasingly attracted to the blue-eyed boy who has vowed to unravel secrets-not only of himself but of her body and soul.

However, the path to his redemption is filled with obstacles, for she is determined to protect her heart and the little ones she vowed to keep safe with her life, making his journey difficult. Yet, undeterred, he presses on, fueled by the fervent hope of winning back the woman he foolishly let slip through his fingers five years ago."

ONCE A TRAITOR ALMOST BURNED ALIVE, NOW A FEARED LUNA. As the only member of her pack in centuries who was not given an inner wolf, Deborah Atkins grew up amid ridicule and ostracism, known as the one the Moon Goddess hated. This life of sadness, however, seems to have come to an end when she discovers that her childhood crush, Iron Aster, the Lycan King himself, is her mate. However, on the day of her wedding, instead of love and joy, Deborah receives only betrayal when Iron rejects her, believing that she is responsible for a betrayal that almost destroyed the Wolf Kingdom. Abused, heartbroken and forced to watch her mate take her cousin as his breeder, Deborah endures the misery that her life has become, until her Pack's hatred almost ended her life, culminating in the revelation that she is a Luna, the Goddess's chosen one. Years later, having built a home for herself and her children, hidden in the human world, Deborah finds her life invaded again by Iron and his regrets, which forces her to face the past. The real traitor has not yet been discovered and the kingdom is still under threat, believing that Deborah may be responsible for their imminent downfall. Deborah, however, is no longer the woman who was willing to suffer in silence. Now, she is willing to do anything to get revenge on those who despised and hurt her. And it doesn't matter if Iron is willing to win her back or fix what happened in the past. Because his mistakes, for Deborah, were unforgivable.

“Why did you bend over, Maverick?”   “Because you told me to, assh*le.”   “I’m so tempted to f*ck you right now.

Just punish me already!” *** MAVERICK As a working college student, I struggle to make ends meet until a stranger approaches me with a proposal—to be his employer’s wife for an enormous sum of money.

So I find a perfect bride— Maverick Bates II, beautiful but in a dire financial situation. I only ask two things. We stay MBA and keep things purely business until the contract ends. As simple as that. It was meant to be a straightforward deal, but each day I get to know her, my position is not the only thing at stake but also my heart. I realize I can’t let her go even if she’s the daughter of the ruthless don of the Sicilianos.

Privately, you’ll share my bed, my home, and give me everything I ask.” he demanded. “And what do I get in return?” I asked, my chin lifted in defiance. “In return, you’ll get everything you’ve ever wanted, damsel—power, wealth, influence. And, most importantly, your revenge."

"Stay away from me you monster!” I screamed at the top of my lungs while I sat there breathless and sweaty. My dress was ripped in half and my hair stood in my face. My eyes were furiously staring at him while I tried releasing my tied hands. ******* “Who the f**k are you, Levi? You can't just barge into my life and expect me to answer your every question.” I retorted, my blood already heating up. “Savannah, how could you keep our child a secret from me? Is this your way of punishing me for what happened between us?” His voice reverberated with an intense wave of anger. “Levi, I never wanted to keep her from you. You never gave me the chance to talk. You cut me off from everyone and everything. I was scared…scared of how you would react, scared of the consequences for both her and me,” I replied with tears streaming down my face. Levi interrupted me before I could finish what I was saying. It would have been helpful if he had taken the time to listen before interrupting. “Scared? Do you think that's an excuse? You denied me the right to be a father and be a part of her life. I won't stand for that” I tried explaining further, “Levi, I never denied you anything. You never gave me the opportunity, and I didn't know how to approach this situation. I wanted to protect her, to shield her from any pain or harm.” “Protect her? By keeping her away from her father? How could you be so selfish?
