Vanessa Pens

Tres años de matrimonio, y todo termina con dos palabras. Fírmalo. Ni siquiera levantó la mirada cuando lo dijo. Simplemente deslizó los papeles sobre la mesa, como si yo fuera otro trato empresarial por cerrar. No se suponía que nos enamoráramos; empezó como un contrato, algo práctico, algo seguro. Pero los sentimientos tienen la costumbre de crecer donde no deberían. Por un tiempo, pensé que le importaba. Los momentos en silencio, los pequeños detalles: recordaba mi canción favorita, cómo tomo el té, lo mucho que odio la lluvia. Creí que significaban algo. Resulta que sí lo hacían… solo que no para mí. Cada gesto, cada palabra suave, estaba prestada de un recuerdo. De ella. La mujer que lo tuvo primero. La que se fue. La que ahora ha vuelto. Así que firmé. Sonreí. Me fui. No porque quisiera, sino porque tenía que hacerlo. Él no me persigue. Todavía no. Pero puedo sentirlo: el peso de todo lo que no se dijo sigue suspendido en el aire entre nosotros. Tal vez se dé cuenta de lo que perdió. Tal vez no. De cualquier manera, esta vez no voy a quedarme esperando para averiguarlo.

La viuda del mejor amigo de mi esposo subió una ecografía. «Gracias por tu esperma. Al fin voy a tener mi bebé.» Abrí la foto y me quedé en shock. En donde decía «padre del bebé», aparecía el nombre de mi esposo: Nelson Navarro. No dije nada. Solo dejé un comentario con un simple signo de interrogación. No pasó ni un minuto y Nelson ya me estaba llamando, furioso. —¡¿Qué te pasa?! —me gritó—. ¡Ella está sola, viuda! Solo quiere tener un hijo para no sentirse tan vacía. ¿Tan difícil es entenderlo? Eduardo fue mi mejor amigo, murió, y yo estoy cumpliendo con él. ¡Eso es lo que hace un hombre que tiene palabra! ¿O tú qué crees? Unos días después, la misma viuda subió otra foto. Esta vez, de un departamento nuevo, todo impecablemente decorado con muebles de lujo. «Menos mal que te tengo. Contigo volví a sentir el calor de un hogar.» En la imagen se veía a Nelson de espaldas, cocinando tranquilo, con el delantal puesto, concentrado frente a la estufa. «Ya está», pensé en ese momento. «Esta relación no da para más».

Durante mucho tiempo, Inés del Valle creyó que Emiliano Cornejo era su única luz en este mundo. Hasta que, mirándola directamente a los ojos, él le dijo con cruel indiferencia: —Mi compromiso con Mariana Altamirano no se cancelará. Si quieres, puedes seguir siendo mi amante. En ese instante, Inés despertó. Esa luz que tanto amaba, hacía mucho se había convertido en la sombra que la asfixiaba. Esa misma noche, se marchó de la casa sin volver la vista atrás. Todos pensaron que una huérfana como ella, sin el respaldo de los Cornejo, no tardaría en arrastrarse de vuelta, rogando por perdón. Pero entonces ocurrió lo inesperado. En plena ceremonia de compromiso entre los Cornejo y los Altamirano, Inés apareció vestida de rojo, del brazo del patriarca de los Altamirano, Sebastián Altamirano. Ya no era la mujer abandonada: ahora era la cuñada del novio. El salón entero quedó en shock. Emiliano, furioso, pensó que todo era una provocación. Dio un paso hacia ella… Y entonces una voz helada, firme como el acero, se dejó oír por encima de todos: —Atrévete a dar un paso más… y verás lo que pasa.

"You understand what it means for you to be mine, right? "He questions, and I swallow. Never breaking eye contact with him. "No... "I admit with my voice trembling. "If you become mine, "He begins, his tone dropping into a seductive growl that sends shivers down my spine. "You won't just be working for me. Your body will belong to me. I'll do whatever I want with you, whenever I want, and however I want. "He says, and as my back hits the wall my stomach drops. "You're not... planning to sell my organs, are you?" I ask, the words spilling out before I can stop them. "No, David, " "I mean, I'll fuck you whenever, wherever, and however I want. You'll be mine. My personal... plaything. Of course, you'll be taken care of. Shelter, food, Vanessa's bills... Everything. However, your main job will be warming my bed. "He says, and my eyes widen in horror. ***** His job was… ‘simple’. To rob him, and run as far as his resources could take him. He didn't plan to get caught. And even if that was a probability, he never expected to be spared. He never expected Salvatore to spare his life and keep him alive as a boy toy. He also didn't expect his straight self to fall for a man.

This is the question that plagues David as he falls deeper and faster for this dangerous, Italian hot cake. Realizing he would do anything for the unpredictable man he had grown to love. When their dangerous world closes in, David must decide. Will he run, or will he risk everything for the man who could break his heart?

Mon compagnon, l'Alpha Lucien, était en train de m'embrasser quand j'ai surpris ce message dans sa liaison mentale : « Ma douce petite louve. Papa va déménager avec toi et Maman dans la nouvelle villa demain. Je l'ai construite spécialement pour toi. » C'est à ce moment que j'ai compris. La villa pour laquelle il avait dépensé une fortune de l'argent de ma meute... était un nid d'amour. Pour son bâtard et sa putain, Claire. Il n'a même pas remarqué que j'étais devenue de glace, trop occupé à se vanter de sa réélection en tant que Président de l'Alliance. Il était Président depuis quatre ans. Tout le monde pensait sa réélection acquise. Mais cet imbécile avait oublié. Il n'était l'Alpha le plus puissant que grâce à moi. Il n'était Président que grâce à moi. Grâce à ma Meute de la Lune d'Argent. Grâce à mon lignage. Je l'ai repoussé. J'ai envoyé d'urgence une liaison mentale à mon père : « Lucien a trahi le lignage de la Lune d'Argent. Lui et cette sal*pe d'oméga... ils vont mourir. »

I was married to one of the city's richest billionaires, but inside his home, I was just a ghost. Damian never once looked at me with love. Never did he touch me with kindness. He didn't see me as a woman, or even a person. I was just… a stand-in. A stand-in while he waited for someone else to come and my heart broke in silence. But the day he walked into our home with his first love, Vanessa, hand in hand it finally broke for good. I found my strength and I placed a signed divorce papers on his desk. Damian scoffed, his eyes cold. “You’ll regret this. You’ll crawl back. Women like you always do.” I thought he was right. I thought I had no one, nowhere to go, and nothing to live for. Until the black car stopped in front of me. That night, three powerful men stepped out, calling me by a name I didn’t even know was mine. Adrian Valehart, a ruthless tycoon whose eyes were as sharp as steel and silenced a room. Nathaniel Valehart, the cold, brilliant lawyer who never lost a case. And Leo Valehart, the superstar adored by millions. They told me I was, their long-lost sister, the only daughter of a billionaire family. I thought they were wrong. But when Adrian gave me shares worth billions, Nathan vowed Damian would walk away with nothing but shame. Leo wrapped his arm around me and declared to the world, “This is my sister, my one and only.” Everything changed And Damian… Damian refuses to let go. He came crawling back, begging for a second chance. “Please, give me another chance,” he said. But my three overprotective brothers wouldn't let him touch me and his pride will not die quietly.

*Smut After her mate's brutal rejection, healing prodigy Sandra surrenders to a dangerously seductive stranger in a dark alley, only to discover he's her uncle Marcus. Trapped by blackmail in his isolated house, forbidden desire ignites between lessons. But Marcus harbors a deadly secret about her father's death. ----------------- “Fuck, Sandra,” he growled, thumb brushing over my nipple through the fabric until it stiffened, aching. “Vanessa’s right upstairs. If she hears us—” “I don’t care,” I panted, rocking up against him, chasing that thick pressure. “Make me forget today. Just tonight. Please.” I’m going straight to hell,” he muttered, then closed the gap. His mouth took mine slow this time, deliberate, like he was memorizing the taste of me. I sighed into it, hands sliding up his chest to grip his shoulders. He tasted like black coffee and smoke and sin, and I wanted more. He tugged me closer, one hand fisting in my hair, the other splayed low on my back, pressing me against him. Heat flared low in my belly, spreading fast. I shifted, trying to ease the ache between my thighs, and he groaned against my lips, grip tightening. His tongue traced the seam of my mouth; I opened for him instantly, meeting him stroke for stroke until we were both breathing hard. He tilted my head back, lips moving down my throat, teeth grazing the frantic beat of my pulse. I gasped, nails digging into the muscle of his shoulders. “We should stop,” he rasped against my skin, but his hand was already pushing under my thin tank top, calloused palm gliding up my ribs. “We should,” I agreed breathlessly, then dragged his mouth back to mine, kissing him deeper, hungrier.

La vie ou tout simplement le destin est une chose qu'on ne saurait contrôler. Si l'on avait dit à Samantha Queen qu'elle tomberait amoureuse de Luke Prescott , le mec qu'elle a rejeté au premier abord, elle serait sarcastique et ironie du sort c'est tout simplement ce qui est arrivé. Les contraires font les paires. Ils se sont rencontrés, elle l'a détesté, elle l'a aimé, il l'a aimé puis ensuite ils se sont aimés. Extrait : [-Samantha Queen , définitivement tu déballes toujours tes émotions. Viviane m'a ouvert les yeux sur ce que je perdrais si jamais je ne t'avouais pas que tu me plaisait. C'est elle qui m'a poussé à tout te dire hier soir. Visiblement tu as une tout autre idée de moi. Tu penses que j'aurais pu sortir avec toi pour de l'argent?? C'est toi qui me déçoit parce que je n'aurais jamais pensé que tu penserais ça de moi et tu sais quoi, c'est moi qui démissionne! Quoi? Mon dieu qu'est ce que j'ai fait.Il se dirigeait vers la porte sans doute il allait rentrer chez lui. Je le suivit -Luke attend! -Fallait y réfléchir avant de me tomber dessus]
