When Trish saw her husband kissing the woman she warned him about, she was ready to pull the plug. James on the other hand wasn't ready to give up on his marriage and vowed to win her back. Will Trish forgive her husband? Will James be able to win her back?
The sounds of machines beeping, and the smell of chemicals filled my nose as I slowly opened my eyes recalling what got me here. I knew where I was, no doubt about it.
As I groaned through the pain of trying to sit up, the familiar voice of the man I love filled my ears, "hey babe, you're awake. Take your time." He spoke with what seemed to be tender eyes and love, but I was no longer going to be a fool to his tricks. He's the reason I'm in the hospital and in the pain I'm in. The physical pain was one thing but the emotional and heartbreak were something else.
I looked at him as he tried to help me sit up and in one fell swoop, I brushed his hands away. I didn't want those filthy hands touching me; the hands he had wrapped around Evie as he devoured her lips.
Disgusting.
I could see the pain in his eyes, but I no longer cared. I was going to hurt him just like he hurt me. "I'm sorry Trish but what you saw was not what it looked it," he spoke apologetically as he grabbed my hands and covered them with his big ones. I couldn't even look him in the face as his betrayal was so fresh in my mind.
How could he hurt me?
The one thing I had asked my husband was to never cheat on me. He knew how cheating broke me with a previous relationship. He knew and he went and did it anyway and now has the nerve to tell me what I saw was a lie.
I tried freeing my hands from his, but it was no use. He was going to get his point across whether I liked it or not as he forced me to listen to his regretful actions.
He told me Evie sitting on his lap and kissing him was something he didn't expect. It happened so suddenly that he didn't even know it had happened until he looked up and saw me. I haven't said a word to him since I've woken, and I don't plan to.
"Talk to me honey. Please Trish," he pleaded as I looked him dead in the face with nothing but hate in my eyes. Life had been sucked out of me and I was no longer my usual happy and bubbly self.
"Stop talking James!" was all that exited my mouth as I grew tired of hearing his voice. He listened and James listened to no one. That had surprised me, and I almost lost my composure as I stared into the face of the man that I love and hate at the same time.
Regardless of his excuses, I couldn't forgive him and I'm not sure where I got the power, but I set one of my hands free and it rose to his face.
SLAP!
Becky endured three years of marriage to the cold-hearted Rory. In all that time, she naively reasoned that one day, he'd gradually come to like her. But the second he forced her to kneel down and humiliate herself, she knew she had been wrong about him. This man had no feelings for her at all. So why should she still love him? When Rory gave her the choice between kneeling down and divorcing, she didn't miss a beat and chose the latter. After all, why should she waste her youth on this scumbag? Wouldn't it be nicer for her to just have fun every day with her billion-dollar family fortune?
"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself. He pressed his lips against mine, and his kiss grew more aggressive, more possessive as I felt my legs weaken. What was I doing? In a split-second, I pulled away and slapped him hard across the face. Kylan's eyes darkened, but the smirk on his lips exposed his amusement. "You and I both know we can't fight this, Violet," he said, gripping my wrist. "You're my mate." "And yet you don't want me," I replied. "You told me you were ashamed of me, that l'd never be your queen, that you'd never love me. So please, accept my rejection and let me go." "Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
Trigger warning!!! Intended for mature readers who enjoy morally complex, slow-burn, poseesive, forbidden, dark romance that pushes boundaries. ***EXCERPT*** Blood everywhere. Trembling hands. "No!" My eyes blurred. His lifeless eyes stared back at me, his blood pooling at my feet. The man I loved-dead. Killed by the one person I could never escape - my stepbrother. *** Kasmine's life was never hers to begin with. Kester, her stepbrother, controlled and monitored her every move. At first, it was all sweet and brotherly until it began to turn into an obsession. Kester was the Alpha, and his word was law. No close friends. No boyfriends. No freedom. The only consolation Kasmine had was her twenty-first birthday, which was supposed to change everything. She dreamt of finding her mate, escaping the sickening control of Kester, and finally claiming her own life. But fate had other plans for her. On the night of her birthday, not only was she disappointed that she wasn't mated to the love of her life, but she found out that her mate was none other than him - Her tormentor. Her stepbrother. She'd rather die than be mated to a man whom she had known as her big brother all her life. A man who would do just anything to make sure she was his. But when love turns to obsession, and obsession turns to blood, how far can one girl run before she realizes there is nowhere else to run to?
"I'm going to tell you what I have in mind," he murmured. "First you're going to strip down until you're completely naked," he whispered against her ear. "Then I'm going to tie you up so you're completely powerless and subject to my every whim." "Mmm, sounds good so far," she murmured. "Then I'm going to insert a plug to prepare you for me. After that I'm going to spank that sweet ass of yours until it's rosy with my marks." She shivered uncontrollably, her mind exploding with the images he evoked. She let out a small whimper as he sucked the lobe of her ear into his mouth. God, she could cum with just his words. She was already aching with need. Her nipples tingled and hardened to painful points. Her clit pulsed and twitched between her legs until she clamped her thighs together to alleviate the burn. "And then I'm going to f**k your mouth. But I won't cum. Not yet. When I'm close, I'll flog you again until your ass is burning and you're on fire with the need for relief. And then I'm going to f**k that ass. I'm going to take you hard and rough, to the very limits of what you can withstand. I won't be gentle. Not tonight. I'm going to take you as roughly as you can stand. And then I'm going to cum all over your ass. Are you ready to be completely and utterly dominated?"
Julia and Evan were the perfect couple-or so she thought. But everything changed when Evan abruptly ended their relationship, leaving her heartbroken and unable to tell him she was carrying his child. Years later, Julia has built a life for herself and her son, Andy, while Evan has risen to unimaginable wealth and success. Their paths cross again at a chance meeting, but Julia soon discovers Evan has moved on with someone else. Julia is done with the pain. She's fought battles alone, raising a son who deserves the truth about his father, even if Evan doesn't deserve her forgiveness. When Julia told Evan years ago she had something to say, he didn't listen. Now, it's time for him to listen. But is it too late to reclaim what he lost? "We should break up," he'd said, the words cutting through her like glass. The pregnancy test in her pocket stayed hidden, just like the child they would never share. Now, it's Evan's turn to hear the truth-and to face his deepest regret.
"You're pathetic!" Brenden sneered, each word cutting deep into Corinna's heart. Years of emotional wounds had drained every ounce of love she once held. "I've wasted enough time on you. If there's a next life, I hope we never meet again." Her words severed the bond between them like a blade. From that moment on, Brenden was haunted by her absence—unable to sleep, longing for the warmth he took for granted.
