Writing With The 5 Senses

結婚して5年。夫の周防雲人（すおう ゆくと）に不意に触れてしまうたび、彼はまるで汚物に触れたかのように顔をしかめ、私を消毒液に膝をつかせ、「女としての常識」をしつけた。 だがある時、彼の鎖骨に赤いキスマークがあるのを見つけ、つい触れてしまった。 彼は激怒してドアをバタンと閉めていったのに、なぜか今回は罰を与えなかった。 その時、私は甘くも、彼が少しずつ私の接触を受け入れ始めたのだと信じていた。 だが翌日、私の「初夜」が都内のセレブが集うオークションにかけられることが決まった。 雲人の友人たちは下品な笑みを浮かべ、いくらで落札するか話し合っている。 一方、雲人は冷たく手を洗いながら吐き捨てた。「涼子がキスした場所を触りやがって！何様のつもりだ。見てるだけで虫唾が走る」

私、小林喜乃（こばやし よしの）には、三年付き合っている彼氏がいる。 彼は私を甘く溺愛し、この上なく大切にしてくれていた。友人たちは皆、そんな私を羨んだ。 唯一の欠点を挙げるとすれば、彼が多忙すぎることだった。 いつもイベントや記念日の前になると、決まって出張に行かなければならなかった。 今年のバレンタインデー直前、彼の車の中でまったく同じプレゼントを二つ見つけてしまうまでは。 息が、止まった。 あの岩田景明（いわた けいめい）が、浮気？ 一度落とされた疑念の種は、真っ黒な根を張り、あっという間に芽を出し始める。 そしてついに、彼がバレンタインデーにまた「出張」へ行くというので、私はこっそりと後をつけた。 突き止めた浮気相手を問い詰めても、彼女は少しも悪びれる様子を見せず、ひどく堂々としていた。 自分が泥棒猫であることを、頑なに認めようとはしないのだ。 私は怒りで感情を爆発させ、彼女を景明の元へ引きずり出し、直接対決させてやろうと騒ぎ立てた。 すると彼女は、景明との婚姻届受理証明書を取り出し、私の顔に叩きつけてきたのだ。 「よく見なさいよ。一体どっちが『泥棒猫』なのかしら！」

Angela Bailey spent six years believing her marriage was built on love, only to discover her devoted husband was nothing more than a polished illusion. When she filed for divorce and asked her daughter to leave with her, the little girl clung to another woman’s hand and called her “Mom.” Donald Turner, cold and entitled, told her, “As long as you apologize to Nina, you can still live your high-society life.” Angela scoffed. “You might not even stay in high society yourself.” She walked out of the Turner household with nothing, determined to rebuild her life from the ground up. With her own talent and grit, she joined a new company and went head-to-head with her ex. Just when Donald realized his mistake and wanted her back, another man stepped into Angela’s life—someone who protected her openly, supported her quietly, and cherished her without hesitation. Donald regretted everything and wanted her back. He appeared with their daughter, eyes red as he pleaded, “I’ll give you the entire Turner family. Please love me and our daughter again.” The man beside Angela laughed. “The Turner family? That means nothing. Angela doesn’t need it. And as for a daughter…” He looked at Angela, and together they said, “We already have one.”

I'm finally pregnant after five years of marriage. I initially want Morgan Holt to accompany me to the hospital so I can surprise him, but he stoically tells me that he hates hospitals. I can understand and accommodate that. Then, he surprises me—he accompanies his new junior to the hospital for a medical checkup. At that moment, I know our relationship is over. When I bid him farewell, I say, "She's your true love's younger sister, right? I can understand why you've transferred your love to her. I wish you two well." His eyes redden. "I can't live without you."

"Let’s go on a proper date, with flowers and candles, his lips twitched in a cocky smile, he leaned in forward, inhaling my scent like a drug he was addicted to. “And then what?” I replied, quivering. His lips were too distracting as they stood dangerously close to mine. "We can pretend to get to know each other if you want. And after that, I can fuck you senseless." Looking up to meet his dark gaze. I swallowed hard, I had only two choices, but whichever I chose, I knew I was screwed. Zach always knew his mate was out there, but at 25, after searching every pack, he had nearly given up hope. Then came Nicole, on the run from a broken past, scarred by betrayal after a humiliating scandal with her crush who sinisterly released a sex tape of her that would haunt her for life. She’s sworn never to trust any man, but destiny had other plans. What happens when the one person you’re meant to love is the last person you think you can trust?

She doesn't belong to his world, where men like him rule and women are put up on auction blocks to be sold to the highest bidder. — When Sienna Williams meets Giovanni Adams, the Lord of the Italian Mafia, she has no idea that her life is about to change. Agreeing to his proposition of spending just one night in his bed as repayment for a debt, she's set her mind on what to expect from this ruthless, dangerous business man. But what she finds out is that there's more to Giovanni that meets the eye, and sadly, one night with him will simply not be enough. Giovanni Adams is cruel, vicious and mean. He always gets what he wants. And no one owes him. Ever. When Ciara Williams betrays him, he goes for the only treasure she has left in the world. Her sister, Sienna. Sienna's fierceness excites his primal instincts, and he was rest assured that one night in his bed would quench this sudden, burning passion.

When Ivy Yarley learned that Jason Hough had been in an accident due to speeding and lost a massive amount of blood, she rushed to the hospital without hesitation and donated a full liter of blood for him. His friends all urged her to go home and get some rest. Reluctantly, she agreed, but the moment she reached the exit, worry hung heavily in her heart, so she turned back. That was when she saw the nurse dumping all five full bags of blood that had just been drawn from her into the trash can. Before she could even process what was happening, a burst of laughter erupted from a nearby room. "Hahaha! That idiot Ivy Yarley fell for it again!"

I ended a pregnancy before it reached three months—and he never even knew. He was too busy rekindling things with his ex, still tangled in old flames. To make her feel comfortable, he gave her my master bedroom like it was nothing. He even turned what was supposed to be our engagement party into a welcome party for her. He let me become the laughingstock of everyone around us. So I turned away, cut up my engagement dress, and agreed to marry the man my family had chosen for me.

My mate, Alpha Logan, was at the Sanctuary preparing to mark me when he was called away. “The mating doesn’t have to be on a full moon,” he said. “Something urgent has come up.” He left me alone in the sacred Sanctuary on the night of the full moon, all because his human friend, Lila, had been injured by a rogue wolf while hiking. A moment later, his text came through: [Lila needs a special serum. I have to get her to Canada within 48 hours. Let's reschedule the mating ceremony.] I’d lost count of how many times Logan had chosen Lila over me. But this time, I wasn’t going to get jealous, throw a fit, and ultimately cave like I always did. Because Logan has no idea that if we don't complete our mating bond by tomorrow, I'm going to die.
