Strawberry Taste

Hindi kailanman ginusto ni Selene na magkaroon ng kahit anong kinalaman kay Lucian Black — ang malamig at tusong CEO na may masalimuot na pagkahumaling sa kanyang ina, isang bangungot na binalot sa katahimikan at hindi kailanman binigyang-linaw. Buong buhay niyang iniiwasan ang anino ng lalaking iyon… hanggang sa isang internship sa kumpanya nito ang nagtulak sa kanya sa mismong gitna ng mundo nito. Pero may iba pang habol si Lucian. Ganti ang kanyang layunin. Ginagamit niya si Selene bilang kasangkapan — at gantimpala — sa isang mapanganib na laro kung saan bawat titig at bawal na haplos ay may kasamang panlilinlang. Para saktan ang babaeng minsang nagtaksil sa kanya, handa si Lucian na angkinin ang nag-iisang bagay na dapat ay pinrotektahan nito: ang sariling anak. Ngunit malayo si Selene sa inosenteng batang babae na inakala niyang madali niyang malilinlang. At habang unti-unting nabubura ang hangganan sa pagitan ng galit at pagnanasa, ang apoy ay mas lalo pang nagliliyab. Hindi kailanman bahagi ng plano ang pag-ibig. Mas lalo na ang magkaroon ng koneksiyon sa isang tao na minsan ng sumira sa buhay nila. Para kay Selene, si Lucian ang tao na hindi dapat ibigin. Para naman kay Lucian, si Selene ang bagay na gagamitin niya para gumanti. Pero sa bandang huli, ito pa rin ba ang kanilang gusto? O tunay na pag-ibig ang siyang mabubuo?

I wasn’t supposed to sleep with him. I am straight or maybe was... Hell, I wasn’t even supposed to meet him until one drunken night changed everything. I had no idea who he was. He had no idea I was the brother of the woman he was about to be engaged to. We touched. We kissed. I let him take everything from me. And then I woke up… and realized he wasn’t just any guy. He was Dante Cruz. The heir. The man I'm now forced to work for. Now, I’m stuck pretending like last night never happened. He’s engaged to my sister. And I’m still trying to remember how to breathe every time he looks at me like he wants to taste me all over again. I said it was a mistake. He said I didn’t stop him. One of us is lying.

I kissed my brother in the darkness, my brother Easton, the one who will be the future alpha of Silver Peak pack, the one who was loved me but now hates me.....

Después de que mi prometido, con quien crecí desde pequeña, pospusiera nuestra boda por séptima vez por culpa de su primer amor, me di cuenta de que esto no tenía sentido. Corrí al hospital para preguntarle por última vez a Juan Torres si aún quería casarse conmigo. Con paciencia, este estaba pelando una manzana para Ana Flores, quien yacía en la cama del hospital. -Sara, ya no eres una niña. Tienes que aprender a ser considerada. Podemos casarnos cuando queramos, pero Ana está enferma, ¡así que no podemos descuidarnos! El cuchillo emitió un leve crujido en la punta de sus dedos, pero me resultó muy molesto. -¡En ese caso, buscaré un nuevo novio! Sus movimientos se detuvieron y, al segundo siguiente, dijo con una sonrisa gélida: -Lo que tú digas.

At seventeen, Tiana’s world shatters when a cruel twist of fate forces her into marriage with Nikolai Toriaga — the arrogant heir to a billion-dollar coffee empire and the same boy who made her life hell in high school. For eight long years, she endures the cold silence and lovelessness of the Toriaga household. But in secret, Tiana earns a PhD in Business Administration and quietly becomes a billionaire, investing her allowance in cryptocurrency and major company shares. When Nikolai’s father dies, Tiana assumes the marriage is over. The man who forced it is gone, and so is the reason for Nikolai to stay. Her fears are confirmed when he shows up to the funeral with a world-famous model on his arm, while Tiana remains his estranged wife. Determined to reclaim her life, she steps into the spotlight, taking a job at Lancaster Group — a global chocolate brand — and reconnects with Ryan Lancaster, a former classmate who once secretly adored her. She expects the long-overdue divorce papers, but instead, Nikolai starts coming home… watching her, wanting her. When she finally confronts him, he fiercely responds, “There’s no way we’re getting a divorce, Tiana.”

“This isn't right—,” my voice cracked, slow moans slipping through my lips. “Sienna—” he called, his husky voice like hushed whispers in my ear. “Why….why do you say so? You don't want me? Don't you like what I do to you? The way I touch you….” He didn't stop. His fingers kept working their magic inside of me, slipping in and out in a pace I wouldn't call gentle. “I—I. S—Soren!” I jerked when he dipped deeper, hitting my core. “Sshhh….” Finally letting my pussy free, he lay me flat on the bed, my body stark naked before him. Sweaty and dripping hot with an ache for ecstasy. “Daddy wants you and you wouldn't argue, okay?” I nodded, without further hesitation. He had so much control over me. One I couldn't handle. He was so possessive. Fucking domineering. But I liked it, even though he was my stepbrother. Even though I knew this was so wrong. ***** Stuck between two stepbrothers. Sienna is left to make a decision, would she give in to the forbidden desires building within her? And when she chooses at last who will it be? The one who makes her heart flutter and her pussy drip or the one that wraps shield around her like a cardigan in winter?

Stevia Lavanza, gadis cantik dengan kemahirannya dalam memainkan biola. Memiliki tipe idaman laki-laki yang bisa bermain piano. Hingga suatu hari dia menemukan laki-laki itu. Dia Raden, cowok populer di sekolahnya karena kepintarannya. Lantas bagaimana perjuangan Stevia untuk mendapatkan hati laki-laki pendiam seperti Raden?

“Ah… uhm..” Sebuah ingatan singkat menghantam Hanna. Alarm KB—ia lupa menyalakannya pagi ini. Di negara Valthera, masa depan setiap perempuan ditentukan oleh implan KB—alat kendali biologis yang menautkan mereka dengan pasangan pilihan pemerintah sesuai DNA. Sistem itu diciptakan demi stabilitas- menekan populasi, memastikan kecocokan genetik, menciptakan keluarga “sempurna.” Tapi kenyataannya jauh dari utopia. Angka perceraian justru meroket. Kehangatan keluarga hilang, berganti hubungan hampa yang hanya patuh pada aturan. Tapi satu kesalahan kecil mengubah segalanya—malam itu ia lupa mengaktifkan implan. Tubuhnya justru terkunci dengan pria terakhir yang seharusnya ia hindari—Profesor Liam, pencipta sistem itu sendiri. Jika aturan dilanggar, implan tidak lagi melindungi, melainkan mengikat. Tubuh akan mengenali pria pertama yang menyentuhnya sebagai pusat loyalitas biologis. Dan yang paling ironis—pria itu kini resmi menjadi kakak tirinya.
